  • The Bronze Age Outstanding Closed Cockpit Monoplane
    Vernon’s CAA Airmaster The Bronze Age Outstanding Closed Cockpit Monoplane BY NICK HURM PHIL HIGH 8 JULY 2008 ernon Heyrman was looking to buy a Fairchild 24. He ended up with a Cessna Airmaster. Why the change of heart, Vernon? V “I liked the Fairchild 24—but—Ed Wegner has the nicest one out there,” Heyrman joked. “I couldn’t buy a Fairchild because there is no way you can bring one along and make it look that good.” Ironically, Heyrman’s “Plan B,” a newly acquired 1940 C-165 Airmaster, sat just a few rows away from Wegner’s Ranger-powered plane at EAA AirVenture Oshkosh 2007. And it was Wegner, a fellow Wisconsinite, who gave the new owner quite the compliment. “Ed told me I have the nicest Cessna on the field,” said Heyrman, who took home Bronze Age Outstanding Closed Vernon Heyrman Cockpit Monoplane at the conclusion of the fly-in. It was a busy month for Vernon, who bought the aircraft in June from longtime owner Ken Coe of Liver- more, California. Heyrman traveled to California with Cessna pilot extraordinaire Jay Baeten, and Coe helped get the two acquainted with the ship before a 22-hour flight back to Heyrman’s hanger just outside Green Bay, Wisconsin. “When I first bought it, I had a little bit of buyer’s remorse,” Heyrman said. “I kept thinking, ‘Did I do something stupid?’ When we were flying it back I fell in love with it and knew I made the right decision.” VINTAGE AIRPLANE 9 Here’s the interior of the Airmaster, complete with tan whipcord upholstery.

  • 3.5 Drag Reduction - Back to Basics
    ~ N76 11002 3.5 Drag Reduction - Back to Basics • Oran W. Nicks NASA Langley Research Center Introduction - Perspective From the beginning of manned flight, the iteration of lift, weight, drag, and thrust have been the balancing factors involved in so-called aeronautical engineering. Lift greater than weight is needed to get up, thrust greater than drag is needed to go anywhere. These fundamentals are still as true as ever. The list of variables involved in successful aeronautical engineering has grown significantly to include speed, cost, comfort, aesthetics, pollution, noise, etc., with perhaps the most significant current interest in fuel economy. There will surely be other tradeoffs to be faced, but never will we be able to ignore lift, weight, drag, and thrust. In this conference, we wi" deliberately focus attention on drag reduction. Drag is the basic parameter affecting the ability of aircraft to go somewhere efficiently. A hot gas balloon can get up and stay up reasonably well, with essentially no consideration for drag. It goes when the wind blows, at no more than the speed of wind. But as soon • as you decide to make it go faster than the wind, or in another direction, its drag becomes very important. In the early days, airplanes were a lot like the free balloon--getting up and staying up was difficult enough without worrying much about going somewhere efficiently. The structures guys were hard pressed to make lightweight structures, and the aero­ dynomicists struggled to develop the lift necessary to keep them up. As tl-e aero­ dynamicists really got to working on the drag problem, the propulsion guys came along and helped solve the problem by providing better engines and propellers--that may be one reason we have some unanswered questions about the science of low speed flight today.
