1908-1909 : La Véritable Naissance De L'aviation
1908-1909 : LA VÉRITABLE 05 Histoire et culture NAISSANCE DE L’AVIATION. de l’aéronautique et du spatial A) Les démonstrations en France de Farman et des frères Wright. A la veille de 1908, ballons et dirigeables dominent encore le ciel, malgré les succès prometteurs des frères Wright, de Santos Dumont et de Vuia. A Issy-les-Moulineaux, le 13 janvier 1908, Farman réussit officiellement le premier vol contrôlé en circuit fermé d’un kilomètre à bord d’un Voisin et remporte les 50 000 francs promis par Archdeacon et Deutsch de la Meurthe. Farman effectue ensuite le premier vol de ville à ville, entre Bouy et Reims, soit 27 km. En tournée aux Etats-Unis, il invente le mot “aileron” : il baptise ainsi les volets en bout d'aile d'avions qui sont présentés. Le premier passager de l'histoire de l'aviation serait Ernest Archdeacon qui embarque avec Henri Farman à Gand (Belgique). En août 1908, les frères Wright s’installent en France pour vendre leur « Flyer » sous licence. Le 31 décembre, Wilbur remporte les 20 000 francs du prix Michelin pour avoir effectué le plus long vol de l’année au camp d’Auvours : 124,7 km en 2h20. Les Wright voulaient garder secret leur système de gauchissement des ailes (torsion du bout des ailes pour incliner de côté un avion) au point de dormir à côté de l’avion. Les Américains fondent la première école de pilotage au monde à Pau. Aux Etats-Unis, le Wright Flyer III, piloté par Orville Wright, est victime d'un accident à la suite de la rupture d'une des hélices en plein vol.

COVERT 1926–2015 Elected in 1980 “Contributions to aerodynamics, aeronautics, education of engineers, and the national security.” BY EDWARD M. GREITZER, WILLIAM T.G. LITANT, AND SHEILA E. WIDNALL EUGENE EDZARDS COVERT, a renowned aerodynamicist, aerospace engineer, and engineering educator, passed away January 15, 2015, at age 88. His career spanned research, teach- ing, and public service. He is credited with developing the world’s first practical wind tunnel magnetic suspension system, he served on the commission that investigated the destruction of the Space Shuttle Challenger, and he received the Daniel Gug- genheim Medal, one of the most prestigious awards in aviation. Gene was born February 6, 1926, in Rapid City, South Dakota, to Perry and Eda (née Edzards) Covert. He received his bachelor of aeronautical engineering at age 20 from the University of Minnesota and immediately went to work for the Naval Air Development Center, Pilotless Aircraft Division, on projects that resulted in the Sparrow, the West’s primary air-to-air missile from the 1950s to the 1990s. In 1948 he com- pleted his master’s degree, also in aeronautical engineering at the University of Minnesota. In 1952 he joined the Department of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AeroAstro) at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology as a research engineer in MIT’s Naval Supersonic Laboratory. He also enrolled in the department’s graduate program and earned an ScD in 1958. 71 Copyright National Academy of Sciences. All rights reserved.

Truman's First Nomination for Senator
TRUMAN’S FIRST NOMINATION FOR SENATOR WAS STOLEN By EWING YOUNG MITCHELL Former Assistant Secretary of Commerce (In New Deal Little Cabinet, 1933-1935) The first nomination for United States Senator of Harry S. Truman was stolen. This has never been denied. It cannot be successfully denied as the election figures given below clearly prove. Truman was first nominated for United States Senator in the Missouri primary in August, 1934. At that time Jackson County, Missouri, including Kansas City, was in the clutches of the Pendergast democratic machine, the most corrupt, the most brazen, gang of thieves who ever looted an American city. Its power was derived from complete control of the elections held in Kansas City and Jackson County. The machine’s control extended not only to all offices in the city and county, and the millions of dollars spent by them annually, but into the economic life of the community as well. It had several corporations through which it transacted a tremendous amount of business, including The Ready Mixed Concrete Company, Midwest Paving Company, Midwest Pre- cote Company, Midwest Asphalt & Material Company, a fire insurance company, a wholesale liquor company, an oil company and a soft drink company, to mention only some of them. The Machine Forced Its Wares On The People No citizen was allowed to use anything built of concrete not bought of the Ready Mixed Concrete Company. A house built of other concrete was closed by city inspectors and its use refused to its owner. The owner of a lot desiring to build an oil station could not get a building permit from the city council until his tenant had signed an agreement with the Pendergast oil company to buy all his oil and gas from it as long as he was in business.

AMA FPG-9 Glider OBJECTIVES – Students Will Learn About the Basics of How Flight Works by Creating a Simple Foam Glider
AEX MARC_Layout 1 1/10/13 3:03 PM Page 18 activity two AMA FPG-9 Glider OBJECTIVES – Students will learn about the basics of how flight works by creating a simple foam glider. – Students will be introduced to concepts about air pressure, drag and how aircraft use control surfaces to climb, turn, and maintain stable flight. Activity Credit: Credit and permission to reprint – The Academy of Model Aeronautics (AMA) and Mr. Jack Reynolds, a volunteer at the National Model Aviation Museum, has graciously given the Civil Air Patrol permission to reprint the FPG-9 model plan and instructions here. More activities and suggestions for classroom use of model aircraft can be found by contacting the Academy of Model Aeronautics Education Committee at their website, buildandfly.com. MATERIALS • FPG-9 pattern • 9” foam plate • Scissors • Clear tape • Ink pen • Penny 18 AEX MARC_Layout 1 1/10/13 3:03 PM Page 19 BACKGROUND Control surfaces on an airplane help determine the movement of the airplane. The FPG-9 glider demonstrates how the elevons and the rudder work. Elevons are aircraft control surfaces that combine the functions of the elevator (used for pitch control) and the aileron (used for roll control). Thus, elevons at the wing trailing edge are used for pitch and roll control. They are frequently used on tailless aircraft such as flying wings. The rudder is the small moving section at the rear of the vertical stabilizer that is attached to the fixed sections by hinges. Because the rudder moves, it varies the amount of force generated by the tail surface and is used to generate and control the yawing (left and right) motion of the aircraft.

Corneliussen Jefferson Lab Outline • Rutherford's call for inventing accelerators ("million volts in a soap box") • Newton, Franklin and Jefferson: Notable prefiguring of Rutherford's call • Rutherfords's discovery: The atomic nucleus and a new experimental method (scattering) • A century of particle accelerators AAPT Winter Meeting January 10, 2011 Rutherford’s call for inventing accelerators 1911 – Rutherford discovered the atom’s nucleus • Revolutionized study of the submicroscopic realm • Established method of making inferences from particle scattering 1927 – Anniversary Address of the President of the Royal Society • Expressed a long-standing “ambition to have available for study a copious supply of atoms and electrons which have an individual energy far transcending that of the alpha and beta particles” available from natural sources so as to “open up an extraordinarily interesting field of investigation.” AAPT Winter Meeting January 10, 2011 Rutherford’s wish: “A million volts in a soapbox” Spurred the invention of the particle accelerator, leading to: • Rich fundamental understanding of matter • Rich understanding of astrophysical phenomena • Extraordinary range of particle-accelerator technologies and applications AAPT Winter Meeting January 10, 2011 From Newton, Jefferson & Franklin to Rutherford’s call for inventing accelerators Isaac Newton, 1717, foreseeing something like quarks and the nuclear strong force: “There are agents in Nature able to make the particles of bodies stick together by very strong attractions. And it is the business of Experimental Philosophy to find them out.
