  • Air Transport
    The History of Air Transport KOSTAS IATROU Dedicated to my wife Evgenia and my sons George and Yianni Copyright © 2020: Kostas Iatrou First Edition: July 2020 Published by: Hermes – Air Transport Organisation Graphic Design – Layout: Sophia Darviris Material (either in whole or in part) from this publication may not be published, photocopied, rewritten, transferred through any electronical or other means, without prior permission by the publisher. Preface ommercial aviation recently celebrated its first centennial. Over the more than 100 years since the first Ctake off, aviation has witnessed challenges and changes that have made it a critical component of mod- ern societies. Most importantly, air transport brings humans closer together, promoting peace and harmo- ny through connectivity and social exchange. A key role for Hermes Air Transport Organisation is to contribute to the development, progress and promo- tion of air transport at the global level. This would not be possible without knowing the history and evolu- tion of the industry. Once a luxury service, affordable to only a few, aviation has evolved to become accessible to billions of peo- ple. But how did this evolution occur? This book provides an updated timeline of the key moments of air transport. It is based on the first aviation history book Hermes published in 2014 in partnership with ICAO, ACI, CANSO & IATA. I would like to express my appreciation to Professor Martin Dresner, Chair of the Hermes Report Committee, for his important role in editing the contents of the book. I would also like to thank Hermes members and partners who have helped to make Hermes a key organisa- tion in the air transport field.

  • Arado Ar 234 "Blitz" in Soviet Service Armstrong Whitworth "Albemarle" In
    This production list is presented to you by the editorial team of "Soviet Transports" - current to the beginning of January 2021. Additions and corrections are welcome at [email protected] Arado Ar 234 "Blitz" in Soviet service Soviet troops captured one example of the world's first jet bomber in northern Germany in spring 1945 (Russian sources state that it was found at Pütnitz in March, but Pütnitz was occupied by the Red Army only on 2 May). The aircraft underwent short trials at Rechlin in early 1946, but suffered from repeated engine problems. As the Soviet specialists involved in the trials were not impressed by the "Blitz" they refrained from sending it to the Soviet Union. It is probable that further Ar 234s (especially of the Ar 234C-3 version) fell into Soviet hands when the Red Army captured the Arado factory at Alt-Lönnewitz (Brandenburg) on 24 April 1945. One Russian source states that one Ar 234B and one Ar 234C were despatched to the Soviet Union where they underwent comprehensive study - in particular, one of the aircraft was thoroughly examined by BNT, the Bureau of New Technology. One of the captured Ar 234s was restored to airworthy condition in 1946 and used by the LII for testing brake parachutes. 140355 no code Ar 234B-2 Soviet Air Force f/f 30nov44 previously opb KG 76 of the German Air Force; in dark green/brown purple camo c/s with light grey undersides, the last letter of the unit code may have been an 'F'; captured by Soviet troops in damaged condition (after a forced landing) reportedly at Pütnitz mar45, but

    Ford Trimotor The Ford Trimotor (also called the “Tri-Motor”, and The Ford Trimotor using all-metal construction was not a nicknamed “The Tin Goose”) was an American three- revolutionary concept, but it was certainly more advanced engined transport aircraft. Production started in 1925 by than the standard construction techniques of the 1920s. the companies of Henry Ford and until June 7, 1933. A The aircraft resembled the Fokker F.VII Trimotor (ex- total of 199 Ford Trimotors were made.[1] It was designed cept for being all-metal which Henry Ford to claimed for the civil aviation market, but also saw service with made it “the safest airliner around”).[3] Its fuselage and military units. The Ford Trimotor was sold around the wings followed a design pioneered by Junkers[4] during world.

All of these were constructed of aluminum alloy, which was corrugated for added stiffness, although the resulting drag reduced its overall performance.[5] So similar were the designs that Junkers sued and won when Ford attempted to export an aircraft to Europe.[6] In 1930, Ford counter- sued in Prague, and despite the possibility of anti-German sentiment, was decisively defeated a second time, with the court finding that Ford had infringed upon Junkers’ patents.[6] Although designed primarily for passenger use, the Tri- motor could be easily adapted for hauling cargo, since its seats in the fuselage could be removed.

  • Power and Initiative in Twentieth Century Germany
    POWER AND INITIATIVE IN TWENTIETH CENTURY GERMANY THE CASE OF HUGO JUNKERS by RICHARD WILLIAM EDWIN BYERS (Under the direction of John Morrow) ABSTRACT This dissertation explores the relationship between private enterprises and nation states in high technology research and applications. As the twentieth century progressed, this relationship became more contentious as state organs, citing national security priorities, attempted to assert their influence on private manufacturers. Nowhere is this relationship better illustrated than in the aircraft industry, and Germany’s geopolitical circumstances during the first half of the twentieth century provide an excellent framework to explore this intersection of interests. The dissertation focuses on the relationship between Professor Hugo Junkers and three successive state regimes in Germany between 1914 and 1934. Already a successful businessman and entrepreneur by the beginning of the First World War, Hugo Junkers continued to pursue plans for all- metal aircraft designs after war began despite wartime supply difficulties and widespread skepticism that such a craft would ever fly. Successful flight trials in 1915 lead to increased official interest in the Junkers firm as a possible military aircraft supplier, and military representatives began negotiations with Junkers over possible production of his aircraft designs. When these negotiations foundered, state officials accused Junkers of pursuing selfish objectives at the state’s expense, and increasingly intervened in the firm’s production processes. Professor Junkers fiercely resisted these incursions, and this resistance permanently damaged relations between the two parties. Throughout the life of the Weimar Republic, Junkers and state officials fought to control the firm’s production and design priorities.

  • Book Reviews IN-FLIGHT SIMULATORS and FLY-BY-WIRE/ LIGHT DEMONSTRATORS
    Afterburner Book Reviews IN-FLIGHT SIMULATORS AND FLY-BY-WIRE/ LIGHT DEMONSTRATORS A Historical Account of International Aeronautical Research Edited by P G Hamel Springer. 2017. 345pp. Illustrated. £112. ISBN 978-3-319-53996-6. Fly-by-wire has become so ubiquitous in aerospace that, with the possible exception of general aviation, it would be a surprise for a new aircraft to be launched today without it. However, it has been a long journey to this point. The state of the art in fly-by-wire is where it is today in no small part due to 60-plus years of aeronautical research establishments around the world testing flight demonstrators to prove the theory and technology. Often, the primary aim has been improved aircraft performance or manoeuvrability through a reduction in natural aerodynamic stability. Artificial stability is then provided through the fly-by-wire system to achieve the handling qualities desired by the pilot. To this end, many of the flight demonstrators developed by research establishments have had variable stability, allowing the aircraft’s stability characteristics to be deliberately altered during flight. Some variable stability aircraft have also been developed with the purpose of simulating a different Vought F-8C Crusader. The flown at other research organisations and aircraft entirely.

  • El Junkers G-24W En Argentina
    El Junkers G-24W en Argentina © Eloy Martín 2014 El Junkers G-24W en Argentina © Eloy Martín El Junkers G-24W en Argentina Con la intención de ampliar las notables prestaciones alcanzadas con el F-13, en 1923 el equipo de Junkers Flugzeug und Motorenwerke AG constituido por el diseñador Ernst Zindel (1897-1978), Guenther Block, Fritz Freundel, Hermann Pohlmann, Johann Haseloff, Ernst Schilling y Justus Muttray se abocó a la construcción de un transpor- te civil de pasajeros enteramente metálico. De este modo el 18 de septiembre de 1924 el piloto de prueba Wilhelm Zimmermann (1897- 1956) voló el prototipo G-23, poco tiempo después de las sucesivas mejoras nació el G-24. Fue el primer transporte comercial monoplano trimotor enteramente metálico del mundo, tenía ca- pacidad para tres tripulantes y nueve pasajeros. El primer modelo estuvo motorizado con un Junkers L.2 de seis cilindros en línea refrigerado por líquido de 230 hp y dos principales DIIIa. De su desa- rrollo aparecieron nuevas y mejores versiones con motores más potentes y mayores prestaciones.
