    La storia del logo Isotta Fraschini Isotta Fraschini Nazione Italia Fondazione 1900 a Milano Fondata da Cesare Isotta Vincenzo Fraschini Oreste Fraschini Antonio Fraschini Chiusura 1949 Settore casa automobilistica Prodotti automobili e motori automobilistici, marini e per l'aviazione Isotta Fraschini è un marchio italiano storicamente noto soprattutto per la produzione di automobili tra le più lussuose e prestigiose della storia. Fu fondata a Milano nel 1900 ad opera di Cesare Isotta e dei fratelli Vincenzo, Oreste e Antonio Fraschini. Le prime automobili prodotte dalla casa milanese nacquero nel 1902: una con un motore Aster di 699 cm3, una a due cilindri di 2251 cm3 ed infine una con un motore De Dion-Bouton di 785 cm3. Nel 1903 l'azienda produsse una vettura equipaggiata con motore autocostruito della potenza di 24 CV. Storia Nel 1905 l'ingegnere Giustino Cattaneo diventò direttore tecnico del marchio milanese e ad esso rimarrà legato fino al 1933. Nel 1907,in seguito ad un accordo che prevedeva anche la partecipazione dei francesi al capitale azionario della azienda, De Dietrich acquisì i diritti per la produzione di 500 autotelai Isotta Fraschini. Questo fatto, unito anche ai successi nelle competizioni sportive, ebbe un grande effetto positivo sul prestigio della Casa. Un altro successo di Isotta Fraschini avvenne nel 1908, quando negli USA una vettura appartenente alla Casa milanese stabilì un record di velocità media: 105 km/h. Sempre nel 1908 venne progettata la Tipo FE, un'auto dalle caratteristiche tecniche molto avanzate per l'epoca che suscitò grande interesse, così come ne destò la Tipo KM, un'auto sportiva prodotta dal 1911 al 1914, equipaggiata con un motore di ben 10.618 cm3.

  • Comparison of Helicopter Turboshaft Engines
    Comparison of Helicopter Turboshaft Engines John Schenderlein1, and Tyler Clayton2 University of Colorado, Boulder, CO, 80304 Although they garnish less attention than their flashy jet cousins, turboshaft engines hold a specialized niche in the aviation industry. Built to be compact, efficient, and powerful, turboshafts have made modern helicopters and the feats they accomplish possible. First implemented in the 1950s, turboshaft geometry has gone largely unchanged, but advances in materials and axial flow technology have continued to drive higher power and efficiency from today's turboshafts. Similarly to the turbojet and fan industry, there are only a handful of big players in the market. The usual suspects - Pratt & Whitney, General Electric, and Rolls-Royce - have taken over most of the industry, but lesser known companies like Lycoming and Turbomeca still hold a footing in the Turboshaft world. Nomenclature shp = Shaft Horsepower SFC = Specific Fuel Consumption FPT = Free Power Turbine HPT = High Power Turbine Introduction & Background Turboshaft engines are very similar to a turboprop engine; in fact many turboshaft engines were created by modifying existing turboprop engines to fit the needs of the rotorcraft they propel. The most common use of turboshaft engines is in scenarios where high power and reliability are required within a small envelope of requirements for size and weight. Most helicopter, marine, and auxiliary power units applications take advantage of turboshaft configurations. In fact, the turboshaft plays a workhorse role in the aviation industry as much as it is does for industrial power generation. While conventional turbine jet propulsion is achieved through thrust generated by a hot and fast exhaust stream, turboshaft engines creates shaft power that drives one or more rotors on the vehicle.

  • Story of the Alfa Romeo Factory and Plants : Part 1 the Early Portello
    Story of the Alfa Romeo factory and plants: Part 1 The early Portello Factory Patrick Italiano Special thanks go to Karl Schnelle, Indianapolis, USA, for his patient proofreading and editing of the English version of this text Over the last few years, we have had to deal with large changes in Alfa Romeo-related places and buildings, as we witnessed the destruction of the old Portello factory, step by step in the late 80s, and also the de-commissioning of the much more modern Arese plant. Sad tales and silly pictures of places and people once full of pride in manufacturing the most spirited cars in the world. As reported by historians, it has long been – and still is for few – a source of pride to belong to this “workers aristocracy” at A.L.F.A.. Places recently destroyed to make place for concrete buildings now containing commercial centres or anonymous offices, places where our beloved cars were once designed, developed and built. It’s often a mix of curiosity and thrill to have the chance to look behind the scenes and see into the sanctuary. Back in 1987, when the first part of Portello was being torn down, Ben Hendricks took us on a visit to the Portello plant in Het Klaverblaadje #40. That was, as Jos Hugense coined the title 15 years later, the “beginning of the end”. Today, one can see Alfas running on the Fiat assembly lines along with Fiat Stilos and at best Lancia Thesis. These Fiat plants are no longer the places where distinguished and passionate brains try to anticipate technical trends five years into the future, thus ensuring that the new generation of Alfas keep such high company standards, as Ing.
