    $3 vol libre • free flight 6/89 Dec - Jan POTPOURRI SAC was informed by Sport Canada on the 10th of July that we are not eligible for funding for 1989-90 and until further notice. Thus we are now totally on our own. The average yearly grant from 1979 to 1988 in 1989 dollars was $14,000, or $16 per person. Perhaps it’s a good thing as planning in an atmosphere of doubt is not conducive to good health and efficient use of funds. The cutback was not unexpected and steps were taken early on to ease the effects of this loss of revenue. Imaginative planning in our small store and a good response from our members through the use of the “Soaring Stuff” inserts resulted in in- creased sales. We will also receive higher than projected invest- ment income essentially due to careful cash management and short-term interest rates, which have remained higher for longer than generally expected. In addition, a small gain in projected receipts from an unexpected increase in membership – now at 1423 – which is the first time since 1982 that we have passed 1400. Total expenditures should come in well below budget projection, primarily as a result of scaling back meetings and travel expenditures. On balance it seems fair to say that a combination of some tight fistedness on the expenditure side and a bit of luck on the revenue side will leave SAC in a financially stronger position than was expected at the beginning of the season, despite the cutting off of govern- ment funding.

  • Circular Administration
    Advisory US.Depanment 01 Tronsporlolion Federal Aviation Circular Administration Subject: A HAZARD IN AEROBATICS: Date: 2/28/84 At No: 91-61 EFFECTS OF G-FORCES ON PILOTS Initiated by: AFO- 800 ; Change: AAM-500; AAC-100 1. PURPOSE. Because aerobatic flying subjects pilots to gravitational effects (G's) that can impair their ability to safely operate the aircraft, pilots who engage in aerobatics, or those who would take up such activity, should understand G's and some of their physiological effects. This circular provides background information on G's, their effect on the human body, and their role in safe flying. Suggestions are offered for avoiding problems caused by accelerations encountered in aerobatic maneuvers. 2. BACKGROUND. Aerobatic flying demands the best of both aircraft and pilot. The aircraft must be highly maneuverable, yet tolerant of G-loads. The pilot must possess skill and physiological stamina. He or she must be daring, yet mindful of the aircraft's limitations as well as his or her own. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Advisory Circular No. 91-48, "Acrobatics-Precision Flying with a Purpose," dated June 29, 1977, discusses some of the airworthiness and operational aspects of aerobatics, but does not consider biomedical factors. The most important of these biomedical factors is the pilot's response to accelerations (or G-loading). The major physiological effects of G-loaaing vary from reduced vision to loss of consciousness. The pilot who understands these effects will be better able to cope with them so that he or she can continue the sport of aerobatic flying. J.

AT THE DEP END OF THE RWY, THE ACFT PITCHED UP INTO A STEEP CLIMB. AT 600 FT AGL, THE ACFT ENTERED A LEFT AILERON ROLL, WHICH THE WITNESSES SAID WAS 'SMOOTH, COORDINATED AND WITH THE NOSE ON THE POINT.' AT THE INVERTED POINT OF THE ROLL, THE ROLL CHANGED FROM AN AILERON TO A BARREL ROLL. ONE PILOT WITNESS SAID THAT IT APPEARED THE 'CREW LOST IT AT THE TOP' AND THAT THE CREW 'HELD THE BACK PRESSURE TOO LONG AT THE TOP.' AT THE 270 DEG POINT OF THE ROLL, THE ACFT WAS SEEN TO 'FALL OUT' OR 'DISH OUT' OF THE ROLL; IT RECOVERED TO WINGS LEVEL FLT AT ABOUT 100 FT AGL IN A VERY NOSE HIGH ATTITUDE SETTLING INTO THE GROUND WITH A HIGH VERTICAL DESCENT RATE. NO PREIMPACT ENG OR CONTROL SYSTEM MALFUNCTIONS WERE FOUND. Probable Cause and Findings The National Transportation Safety Board determines the probable cause(s) of this accident to be: IN FLIGHT LOSS OF CONTROL BY THE PILOT FLYING WHILE PERFORMING AN INTENTIONAL LOW LEVEL AEROBATIC MANEUVER.

    [SU-27] DCS DCS: Su-27 Flanker Eagle Dynamics i Flight Manual DCS [SU-27] DCS: Su-27 for DCS World The Su-27, NATO codename Flanker, is one of the pillars of modern-day Russian combat aviation. Built to counter the American F-15 Eagle, the Flanker is a twin-engine, supersonic, highly manoeuvrable air superiority fighter. The Flanker is equally capable of engaging targets well beyond visual range as it is in a dogfight given its amazing slow speed and high angle attack manoeuvrability. Using its radar and stealthy infrared search and track system, the Flanker can employ a wide array of radar and infrared guided missiles. The Flanker also includes a helmet-mounted sight that allows you to simply look at a target to lock it up! In addition to its powerful air-to-air capabilities, the Flanker can also be armed with bombs and unguided rockets to fulfil a secondary ground attack role. Su-27 for DCS World focuses on ease of use without complicated cockpit interaction, significantly reducing the learning curve. As such, Su-27 for DCS World features keyboard and joystick cockpit commands with a focus on the most mission critical of cockpit systems.

    JOURNAL OF AIRCRAFT Vol. 51, No. 6, November–December 2014 Real-Time Flight Simulation of Highly Maneuverable Unmanned Aerial Vehicles Michael S. Selig∗ University of Illinois at Urbana–Champaign, Urbana, Illinois 61801 DOI: 10.2514/1.C032370 This paper focuses on full six degree-of-freedom aerodynamic modeling of small unmanned aerial vehicles at high angles of attack and high sideslip in maneuvers performed using large control surfaces at large deflections for aircraft with high thrust-to-weight ratios. Configurations, such as this, include many of the currently available propeller- driven radio-controlled model airplanes that have control surfaces as large as 50% chord, deflections as high as 50 deg, and thrust-to-weight ratios near 2∶1. Airplanes with these capabilities are extremely maneuverable and aerobatic, and modeling their aerodynamic behavior requires new thinking because using traditional stability- derivative methods is not practical with highly nonlinear aerodynamic behavior and coupling in the presence of high prop-wash effects. The method described outlines a component-based approach capable of modeling these extremely maneuverable small unmanned aerial vehicles in a full six degree-of-freedom real-time environment over the full 180 deg range in angle of attack and sideslip. Piloted flight-simulation results for four radio-controlled/unmanned- aerial-vehicle configurations having wingspans in the range from 826 mm (32.5 in.) to 2540 mm (100 in.) are presented to highlight the results of the high-angle aerodynamic modeling approach. Maneuvers simulated include tailslides, knife-edge flight, high-angle upright and inverted flight, rolling maneuvers at high angle, and an inverted spin of a biplane.

  • Modeling Propeller Aerodynamics and Slipstream Effects on Small Uavs
    AIAA Atmospheric Flight Mechanics 2010 Conference 2010-7938 2-5 Aug 2010, Toronto, Ontario, Canada Modeling Propeller Aerodynamics and Slipstream Effects on Small UAVs in Realtime Michael S. Selig∗ University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, Urbana, IL 61801, USA This paper focuses on strong propeller effects in a full six degree-of-freedom (6- DOF) aerodynamic modeling of small UAVs at high angles of attack and high sideslip in maneuvers performed using large control surfaces at large deflections for aircraft with high thrust-to-weight ratios. For such configurations, the flight dynamics can be dominated by relatively large propeller forces and strong propeller slipstream effects on the downstream surfaces, e.g., wing, fuselage and tail. Specifically, the propeller slipstream effects include propeller wash flow speed effects, propeller wash lag in speed and direction, flow shadow effects and several more that are key to capturing flight dynamics behaviors that are observed to be common to high thrust-to-weight ratio aircraft. The overall method relies on a component-based approach, which is discussed in a companion paper, and forms the foundation of the aerodynamics model used in the RC flight simulator FS One. Piloted flight simulation results for a small RC/UAV configuration having a wingspan of 1765 mm (69.5 in) are presented here to highlight results of the high-angle propeller/aircraft aerodynamics modeling approach. Maneuvers simulated include knife-edge power-on spins, upright power-on spins, inverted power-on pirouettes, hovering maneuvers, and rapid pitch maneuvers all assisted by strong propeller-force and propeller-wash effects. For each case, the flight trajectory is presented together with time histories of aircraft state data during the maneuvers, which are discussed.
