It consists in six categories taking into account the strength and evolution of the wake turbulence generated and the resistance characteristics of the following aircraft. The datasheet included in the document provides the assigned RECAT-EU wake turbulence category (WTC) for each aircraft type included in the ICAO Document 8643 ‘Aircraft Type Indicators’1. The assignment of the RECAT-EU wake turbulence category is performed jointly by Eurocontrol and EASA. Several aircraft types have no assigned WTC (marked as “None” or “TBC”) when the analysis for their assignment to the RECAT-EU scheme is not yet completed. The datasheet is split in two lists, one for landplane aircraft, one for helicopters, in accordance to the ICAO Doc 8643 designation. 1 ICAO Document 8643 can be consulted at : https://www.icao.int/publications/DOC8643/Pages/default.aspx Strategy and Programme Department TE.GEN.00400-006 © European Union Aviation Safety Agency.

    The Bell 47 Helicopter Story By Robert S. Petite and Jeffrey C.

  • R&T Activities on Composite Structures
    PUBLIC RELEASE R&T activities on composite structures for existing and future military A/C platforms at Airbus DS, Military Aircraft Mircea Calomfirescu, Rainer Neumaier, Thomas Körwien, Kay Dittrich Airbus Defence and Space GmbH Rechliner Str. 1 85077 Manching GERMANY [email protected] ABSTRACT This paper gives a short overview on the state of the art in composite aerostructures for civil and military aircraft. Major challenges are highlighted in this context and the requirements from military aircraft point of view are illustrated, derived from existing and future military aircraft perspectives. The main objective of the paper is to present the R&T activities in the aerostructure research program called FFS, advanced aerostructures. The activities range here from structural bonding, advanced radomes, new thermoplastic composite technologies and new materials and structures for low observability purposes. A brief insight is given to each of the topic highlighting the challenges and approaches, finishing with a summary of future trends and emerging technologies. 1.0 INTRODUCTION Composites offer several advantages over metallic aerostructures in civil as well as in military aircraft industry including reduced weight, less maintenance effort and costs due to “corrosion-free” composites and a superior fatigue behaviour compared to aluminium. The thermal expansion is much less and the material waste (“buy to fly ratio”) is more advantageous compared to aluminium structures. However, these advantages come along with higher material and manufacturing costs. For the prepreg technology for example the material has to be stored at -18°C, energy and investment intensive autoclaves are necessary and for quality assurance 100% non-destructive testing (NDT) is required in contrast to aluminium structures.

  • Canadian Airmen Lost in Wwii by Date 1943
    CANADA'S AIR WAR 1945 updated 21/04/08 January 1945 424 Sqn. and 433 Sqn. begin to re-equip with Lancaster B.I & B.III aircraft (RCAF Sqns.). 443 Sqn. begins to re-equip with Spitfire XIV and XIVe aircraft (RCAF Sqns.). Helicopter Training School established in England on Sikorsky Hoverfly I helicopters. One of these aircraft is transferred to the RCAF. An additional 16 PLUTO fuel pipelines are laid under the English Channel to points in France (Oxford). Japanese airstrip at Sandakan, Borneo, is put out of action by Allied bombing. Built with forced labour by some 3,600 Indonesian civilians and 2,400 Australian and British PoWs captured at Singapore (of which only some 1,900 were still alive at this time). It is decided to abandon the airfield. Between January and March the prisoners are force marched in groups to a new location 160 miles away, but most cannot complete the journey due to disease and malnutrition, and are killed by their guards. Only 6 Australian servicemen are found alive from this group at the end of the war, having escaped from the column, and only 3 of these survived to testify against their guards. All the remaining enlisted RAF prisoners of 205 Sqn., captured at Singapore and Indonesia, died in these death marches (Jardine, wikipedia). On the Russian front Soviet and Allied air forces (French, Czechoslovakian, Polish, etc, units flying under Soviet command) on their front with Germany total over 16,000 fighters, bombers, dive bombers and ground attack aircraft (Passingham & Klepacki). During January #2 Flying Instructor School, Pearce, Alberta, closes (http://www.bombercrew.com/BCATP.htm).
