TITLE: Giving Back In Aviation We aviators, who enjoy the wonders of human flight, comprise a small percentage of the population. We are uniquely placed to introduce others to the joys of flying and to provide transportation services that only aircraft can perform. This seminar will discuss how we can fly legally and safely for charitable, non-profit, and community events— as well as for "public benefit" flying organizations. Representatives from those organizations also will give brief presentations on the work that they do. Join us at this WINGS-credit event and learn how to give back in aviation—legally and safely! https://www.faasafety.gov/SPANS/event_details.aspx?eid=87537&caller=/SPANS/events/EventList.aspx Brewer'sWeekend-InnatTurkeyHill Fly IN to N13. Airport Coordinator will transport you the short 3 miles to the Brewer's Weekend Experience at the Turkey Hill Brewing Company.

Where did 2018 go? Perhaps the old saying, “Time flies when you’re having fun,” (no matter what you’re flying) is so true, especially when you’re hanging out at the Bloomsburg Airport. If you missed some or any of the activities at N13, go to www.bloomsburgairport.org and click on “About Us”. There you can read each month’s edition of the airport newsletter and catch up on the whole years’ worth of events, activities, and feature stories that made 2018 so memorable at the Bloomsburg airport. It’s a great website to bookmark in your computer. For example, check out the pictorial stories like the Chamber of Commerce After Hours event hosted by the Bloomsburg Airport in April, or June’s pictorial story about Bloom Flyers Breakfast, Pig Roast and FAA Safety Seminar and the 27th Annual Dream Machine Car Show. Speaking of cars, the Bloomsburg Airport acquired its first courtesy car this year due to the generosity of Dan Broadt and the Bloom Flyers. And, for two years in a row, N13 has been the host for the Columbia Montour Council Community Day which is co-sponsored by Boy Scouts of America. This year we also had the distinct privilege of hosting National Night Out for the first time, and we look forward to hosting it in the coming years. Proof that a picture is worth a thousand words, Elise Hughes (on left), the official (volunteer) airport photographer, does an amazing job capturing stories like these through the lens of a camera. Check them out! Each month’s edition also reports on numerous other events, too. Educational, inspirational, and fun activities like FAA Safety Seminars, STEM programs, private pilot ground school courses, pilot accomplishments, Colonel Stahl’s Annual Breakfast & Poker Run and numerous Fly-ins & Fly-outs. Even a Chili Cook off! ______________________________________________________________________________ 6 Bloomsburg Municipal Airport NEWSLETTER December 2018 In fact, here’s a list of the FAAST Safety Seminars and other events held at the Bloomsburg Airport in 2018.

  • The Sad Saga of the Beechcraft Starship. Captains Kirk and Picard
    50SKYSHADESImage not found or type unknown- aviation news THE SAD SAGA OF THE BEECHCRAFT STARSHIP News / Manufacturer Image not found or type unknown Captains Kirk and Picard had starships to explore the universe. Earthly mortals could have had futuristic Starships to crisscross the world, but circumstances, both in development and marketing, limited the success of what was otherwise a stunning aircraft. © 2015-2021 50SKYSHADES.COM — Reproduction, copying, or redistribution for commercial purposes is prohibited. 1 In the early 1980s, Beechcraft began looking for a successor to its popular King Air. The objective was for this successor to be faster, quieter, and safer with an equal or greater payload, and, of course have the sales success as the King Air. Developmental History The design result was a sleek, twin turboprop pusher, canard design. Another goal was to use composite materials to maximum extent possible to reduce weight and increase structural integrity compared to the metal structures of their previous aircraft. An added safety feature of the canard design is that it would be essentially stall proof. Canards are a front wing that actually produce lift. As the aircraft approaches a stall, the canards stall first, causing the nose to drop slightly, ensuring that the main wing continues to fly, enabling a prompt stall recovery. Although there several very successful canard experimental aircraft such as the Rutan Long E Z and the Velocity, a six-to-eight passenger composite canard was a new concept, and Beechcraft would experience unexpected developmental challenges. The Starship is a two-surface aircraft, i.e., it has a main wing and the canard, while the canard Piaggio P.180, successfully introduced in 1990, is a three-surface design that includes a conventional horizontal stabilizer and elevators.

  • FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Burt Rutan Honored with 2015 Wright
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Stephanie Berry 703-416-4888 Ext 104 [email protected] Burt Rutan Honored with 2015 Wright Brothers Memorial Trophy Washington, DC, October 5, 2015 – The National Aeronautic Association (NAA) is pleased to announce that Burt Rutan has been selected as the recipient of the 2015 Wright Brothers Memorial Trophy. Established by NAA in 1948 to honor the memory of Orville and Wilbur Wright, the trophy is awarded annually to a living American for “…significant public service of enduring value to aviation in the United States.” Rutan is a world-renown aerospace engineer noted for his originality in designing light, strong, and energy-efficient aircraft. He designed the record-breaking Voyager, which was the first plane to fly around the world without stopping or refueling, and the sub-orbital spaceplane Spaceship One, which became the first privately funded spacecraft to enter the realm of space twice within a two-week period. Rutan also has five aircraft on display at the Smithsonian’s National Air and Space Museum in Washington, DC. “For 40 years Burt has been one of the giants in aerospace development and engineering,” said Jim Albaugh, Chairman of NAA. “So much of his work has had an impact on aircraft design and performance, and he is very worthy of one of the most important awards in aviation.” From 1965 to 1972, Rutan was a civilian flight test project engineer for the United States Air Force at Edwards Air Force Base. He left to become Director of Development of the BD-5 aircraft for Bede Aircraft, a position he held until 1974.

The Doolittle Raiders Doolittle's Tokyo Raiders America's First Response to Pearl Harbor On April 18, 1942, 16 B-25 Mitchell medium bombers launched from the deck of the USS Hornet to attack Japan. Led by Lt. Col. James H. Doolittle, the daring mission was America’s first response to Pearl Harbor and stands as one of the most courageous events of World War II. Although the raid caused minimal damage, American morale soared from the depths to which it had plunged following the Pearl Harbor attack. The surprise attack on the previously untouched home islands of Japan is considered by many historians to be a primary cause of the Japanese decisions that led to their defeat at the Battle of Midway only six weeks later. Planning for the raid was one of the most closely held secrets and the Japanese did not learn how the raid was conducted until after the war was over. Thirteen of the 80 men on the raid were from Texas, more than from any other state. §110.24.

INDIA . 2,3,5,7Student , Department Of Aeronautical Engineering , MLR Institute Of Technology and Management , Dundigal ,Hyderabad. INDIA . ABSTRACT:Elevators are flight control surfaces, usually at the rear of an aircraft, which control the aircraft's lateral attitude by changing the pitch balance, and so also the angle of attack and the lift of the wing. The elevators are usually hinged to a fixed or adjustable rear surface, making as a whole a tailplane or horizontal stabilizer. The effect on lift coefficient due to an elevator deflection is going to find by assuming the baseline value, initializing the aircraft at a steady state flight condition and then commanding a step elevator deflection. By monitoring the aircraft’s altitude and other related measurements, you can record the effect of a step elevator deflection at this flight condition. Repetitions of this experiment with various values will demonstrate how variations in this parameter affect the aircraft’s response to elevator deflection. Deflection of the control surface creates an increase or decrease in lift and moment. In this paper we are going to derive the different equations related to the longitudinal stability and control. The design of the horizontal stabilizer and elevator is going to do in CATIA V5 and the analysis is going to perform in ANSYS 12.0 FLUENT.
