  • A Nation of Aviation Pioneers
    ICAO TIE-INS By Albert Pelsser Romania - A nation of aviation pioneers At the beginning of the 20th century, Romania was among the few nations in the world which brought essential contributions to aviation and flying because there were people who dedicated their life and work to fulfilling the human desire to fly and developing aviation. Among the most well-known inventors who contributed to the flight development by means of apparatuses heavier than the air, Traian Vuia, Aurel Vlaicu and Henri Coanda played a distinct role. In parallel to the above developments, schools of piloting were established and airships from other countries were purchased, with provision for specially designed workshops for the maintenance and repairing of aircraft. The first school of piloting was initiated by the Romanian lawyer Mihail Cerchez, after his return from Paris in the summer of 1909. It started its activity in the spring of 1910, on the field near Chitila, where the first aerodrome of the Romanian aviation was settled. Once the infrastructure for the construction and repair of the airships had been completed, Mihail Cerchez purchased four aircraft from France: two biplane Farman aircraft that were intended to carrying out the training flights of the future pilots, one Demoiselle aircraft and a Wright aircraft for the ground instruction. Second Lieutenants Ştefan Protopopescu and Gheorghe Negrescu were among the first six military pilots trained. Cerchez also obtained that the Farman aircraft be assembled in his workshops. Chitila’s infrastructure in 1911. Farman IV biplane. Having obtained their Pilot Licences in July 2011, Protopopescu and Negrescu, along with other pilots, participated in military maneuvers on Farmans in the fall of 1911 and carried out a series of raids to popularize aviation among youth and to maintain a high degree of readiness among pilots.

  • 32 ROMANIAN CONTRIBUTIONS in AERONAUTICS Adrian NECULAE
    ROMANIAN CONTRIBUTIONS IN AERONAUTICS Adrian NECULAE West University of Timisoara, ROMANIA A short history of the flight From the earliest days, humans have dreamed of flying and have attempted to achieve it. The dream of flight was inspired by the observation of the birds even from the early times and was illustrated in myths, fiction (fantasy, science fiction and comic book characters) and art. Greek, Roman or Indian mythology have examples of gods who were gifted with flight. Daedalus and Icarus flew through the air, and Icarus died when he flew too close to the sun. Daedalus and Icarus (Greek) Pushpaka Vimana of the Ramayana (Indian) Religions relate stories of chariots that fly through the air and winged angels that join humans with the heavens. Flying creatures that were half human and half beast appear in legends. Birds and fantastic winged creatures pulled boats and other vehicles through the air. Let’s see some relevant examples: 32 From the top left corner: Angel, Pegasus, Dragons, Superman, Santa Claus, Dumbo. My talk is about progress in science, and more specific, about progresses in human fight against gravity. An illustration in art of the idea of what it means the progress in flight is given in the picture below, painted at the end of the 19th Century: The human dream of flight: Utopian flying machines from the 18th Century. The image and the title of this art work express, maybe better than other words, the idea of progress in flight, especially in modern and present history: things that seemed to be pure utopia a century

As the business and economics research arm of McKinsey & Company, MGI aims to help leaders in the commercial, public, and social sectors understand trends and forces shaping the global economy. MGI research combines the disciplines of economics and management, employing the analytical tools of economics with the insights of business leaders. Our “micro-to-macro” methodology examines microeconomic industry trends to better understand the broad macroeconomic forces affecting business strategy and public policy. MGI’s in-depth reports have covered more than 20 countries and 30 industries. Current research focuses on six themes: productivity and growth, natural resources, labor markets, the evolution of global financial markets, the economic impact of technology and innovation, and urbanization. Recent reports have assessed the digital economy, the impact of AI and automation on employment, physical climate risk, income inequal ity, the productivity puzzle, the economic benefits of tackling gender inequality, a new era of global competition, Chinese innovation, and digital and financial globalization. MGI is led by three McKinsey & Company senior partners: co-chairs James Manyika and Sven Smit, and director Jonathan Woetzel.

  • Traian Vuia – the Romanian Inventor Who First Flew a Powered Airplane in 1906
    Traian Vuia – the Romanian inventor who first flew a powered airplane in 1906 Liviu FILIMON *Corresponding author Liviu - Avionics and Instruments Services Ltd. 40 Wairere Rd, The Gardens, Auckland 2105, New Zealand [email protected] DOI: 10.13111/2066-8201.2011.3.3.15 Abstract: As observed the beginning of heavier than air devices started with Wright Brothers who flew in 1903 the first catapulted airplane equipped with an engine, similar to present motor gliders. In March 1906 took place the first flight of Vuia’s monoplane using on board installations. Since then a real competition between manufacturers has started to improve their airplanes as they become more efficient. Traian Vuia’s first flights and his beginnings are explained below. Key Words: history of aviation, powered aircraft, first flight, Romanian inventor. 1. INTRODUCTION During the year 1906 Vuia made three major contributions to the world of aviation. Firstly he flew for the first time a vehicle heavier than air using only his on board installations; secondly his airplane was the first to fly with only one propeller and thirdly his airplane was the first single-plane powered aircraft to fly. 2. TRAIAN VUIA’S FLIGHTS Traian Vuia was born on August 17, 1872 in a village known as Surducul Mic in the Timis county of Romania. Since childhood he dreamed to be able to fly a machine invented by himself. He studied only technical problems that he was particularly interested in, the problem of flight being for him the most important one. After graduating the high school in Lugoj (Timis county) he could not finish a school of mechanics due to financial problems, and had to attend and graduate a faculty of law which in those times could provide him with financial support.
