    Die Entstehung Der Verkehrsfliegerei Und Die Junkers F 13

    Die Entstehung der Verkehrsfliegerei und die Junkers F 13 Das Ende des 1. Weltkrieges bringt gleichzeitig den Beginn einer neuen Art der Fliegerei, der zivilen Luftfahrt mit der Verkehrsfliegerei, in Europa und in den USA und bald überall. Erstmalig werden anfangs noch mit alten Militärflugzeugen Post und Fracht befördert und wie sie hier unten ein Modell des Bombers der deutschen Firma AEG sehen, werden diese Bomber zu Passagierflugzeugen umgebaut, nicht nur in Deutschland, sondern ähnlich bei allen am Krieg beteiligten Mächten. Natürlich bestehen sie nach wie vor aus Stoff und Holz, die AEG sogar schon aus geschweißtem Stahlrohr im Rumpf und Alu-Rippen mit Stoffbespannung für die Flächen. Die Flugsicherheit ist nicht besonders hoch., Erst 1919 beginnt, man kann es ruhig bezeichnen als eine Revolution im Flugzeugbau, eine vollkommen neue Ära: Hugo Junkers aus Dessau bringt nicht nur das erste reine, für diese Zwecke konstruierte Passagierflugzeug auf den Markt, er baut es auch als das erste Ganzmetall-Verkehrsflugzeug aus dem noch jungen Leichtmetall Aluminium. Hier steht als Nachbau seine berühmte F 13. Revolution im Flugzeugbau deshalb, weil Junkers nicht nur von Holz und Stoff abgeht sondern auch eine neue Technologie im Flugzeugbau einführt: Das 1:1 Modell einer Junkers F 13 bei uns im Museum (darüber ein Original- Nachbau einer Klemm Kl 25). Keine Spanntürme, keine Drahtverspannungen, dafür aber ein neuer, trapez- förmiger profilierter Metallflügel. Erstmalig werden Rumpf- und Tragflächen, durch starke Längs- und Querträger, wie ein Käfig gebaut, auf den man dann die dünne Aluminiumaußenhaut aufnietet. Und dieser Verbund übernimmt alle Kräfte, die auf das Flugzeug wirken. Gleichzeitig bekommt man aber freie Räume sowohl im Rumpf für die Unterbringung der Fluggäste, Wie auch in der Tragfläche.

    A GEOGRAPHICAL ANALYSIS OF AIR HUBS IN SOUTHEAST ASIA HAN SONGGUANG (B. Soc. Sci. (Hons.)), NUS A THESIS SUBMITTED FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF SOCIAL SCIENCES DEPARTMENT OF GEOGRAPHY NATIONAL UNIVERSITY OF SINGAPORE 2007 A Geographical Analysis of Air Hubs in Southeast Asia ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS It seemed like not long ago when I started out on my undergraduate degree at the National University of Singapore and here I am at the conclusion of my formal education. The decision to pursue this Masters degree was not a straightforward and simple one. Many sacrifices had to be made as a result but I am glad to have truly enjoyed and benefited from this fulfilling journey. This thesis, in many ways, is the culmination of my academic journey, one fraught with challenges but also laden with rewards. It also marks the start of a new chapter of my life where I leave the comfortable and sheltered confines of the university into the “outside world” and my future pursuit of a career in education. I would like to express my heartfelt thanks and gratitude to the following people, without whom this thesis would not have been possible: I am foremost indebted to Associate Professor K. Raguraman who first inspired me in the wonderful field of transport geography from the undergraduate modules I did under him. His endearing self, intellectual guidance, critical comments and helpful suggestions have been central to the completion of this thesis. A special word of thanks to you Ragu, my supervisor, mentor, inspiration and friend. All faculty members at the Department of Geography, NUS who have taught me (hopefully well enough!) during my undergraduate and postgraduate days in the university and enabled me to see the magic behind the discipline that is Geography.

    National Transportation Safety Board Airport Runway Accidents, Serious Incidents, Recommendations, and Statistics Deadliest Runway Accidents ● Tenerife, Canary Islands, March 27, 1977 (583 fatalities). The world’s deadliest runway accident occurred on March 27, 1977, when Pan Am (PAA) flight 1736, a Boeing 747, and KLM4805, a Boeing 747, collided on runway 12 at Tenerife, Canary Islands, killing 583 passengers and crew. KLM4805 departed runway 12 without a takeoff clearance colliding with PAA1736 that was taxiing on the same runway during instrument meteorological conditions. The Spanish government determined the cause was: “The KLM aircraft had taken off without take-off clearance, in the absolute conviction that this clearance had been obtained, which was the result of a misunderstanding between the tower and the KLM aircraft. This misunderstanding had arisen from the mutual use of usual terminology which, however, gave rise to misinterpretation. In combination with a number of other coinciding circumstances, the premature take-off of the KLM aircraft resulted in a collision with the Pan Am aircraft, because the latter was still on the runway since it had missed the correct intersection.” ● Lexington, Kentucky, August 27, 2006 (49 fatalities). The deadliest runway accident in the United States occurred on August 27, 2006, at about 0606 eastern daylight time when Comair flight 5191, a Bombardier CL-600-2B19, N431CA, crashed during takeoff from Blue Grass Airport, Lexington, Kentucky. The flight crew was instructed to take off from runway 22 but instead lined up the airplane on runway 26 and began the takeoff roll. The airplane ran off the end of the runway and impacted the airport perimeter fence, trees, and terrain.

    Aircraft Tire Data

    Aircraft tire Engineering Data Introduction Michelin manufactures a wide variety of sizes and types of tires to the exacting standards of the aircraft industry. The information included in this Data Book has been put together as an engineering and technical reference to support the users of Michelin tires. The data is, to the best of our knowledge, accurate and complete at the time of publication. To be as useful a reference tool as possible, we have chosen to include data on as many industry tire sizes as possible. Particular sizes may not be currently available from Michelin. It is advised that all critical data be verified with your Michelin representative prior to making final tire selections. The data contained herein should be used in conjunction with the various standards ; T&RA1, ETRTO2, MIL-PRF- 50413, AIR 8505 - A4 or with the airframer specifications or military design drawings. For those instances where a contradiction exists between T&RA and ETRTO, the T&RA standard has been referenced. In some cases, a tire is used for both civil and military applications. In most cases they follow the same standard. Where they do not, data for both tires are listed and identified. The aircraft application information provided in the tables is based on the most current information supplied by airframe manufacturers and/or contained in published documents. It is intended for use as general reference only. Your requirements may vary depending on the actual configuration of your aircraft. Accordingly, inquiries regarding specific models of aircraft should be directed to the applicable airframe manufacturer.

    Accident Final Report

    According to the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) Annex 13, Chapter 3, Section 3.1; The sole objective of the investigation of an accident or incident shall be the prevention of accidents and incidents. It is not the purpose of this activity to apportion blame or liability. Further, according to the Civil Aviation Law of The Republic of China, Article 84; ASC shall focus on the identification, investigation and cause assessment of aircraft accident or serious incident on preventing the recurrence of similar accident or serious incident, rather than on dispensing penalty or pursuing responsibility. Thus, based on Both the ICAO Annex 13, as well as the Civil Aviation Law of the Republic of China, this accident investigation report, as the result of the investigation effort of SQ006, shall not be used for any other purpose than to improve safety of the aviation community.
