  • Design of Seaplanes
    APPENDIX C3: Design of Seaplanes This appendix is a part of the book General Aviation Aircraft Design: Applied Methods and Procedures by Snorri Gudmundsson, published by Elsevier, Inc. The book is available through various bookstores and online retailers, such as www.elsevier.com, www.amazon.com, and many others. The purpose of the appendices denoted by C1 through C5 is to provide additional information on the design of selected aircraft configurations, beyond what is possible in the main part of Chapter 4, Aircraft Conceptual Layout. Some of the information is intended for the novice engineer, but other is advanced and well beyond what is possible to present in undergraduate design classes. This way, the appendices can serve as a refresher material for the experienced aircraft designer, while introducing new material to the student. Additionally, many helpful design philosophies are presented in the text. Since this appendix is offered online rather than in the actual book, it is possible to revise it regularly and both add to the information and new types of aircraft. The following appendices are offered: C1 – Design of Conventional Aircraft C2 – Design of Canard Aircraft C3 – Design of Seaplanes (this appendix) C4 – Design of Sailplanes C5 – Design of Unusual Configurations Figure C3-1: A Lake LA-250 Renegade, shown here during climb after T-O, is a popular option for amphibious aircraft. The large deflected flap on the horizontal tail is a hydraulically actuated trim tab used for slow speed operations only. It trims out the thrust effect of the highly mounted piston-propeller, improving its handling.

  • Norske Heinkel He 115
    Norske Heinkel He 115 Tekst: Kjell Dahle Foto: billedmontasjer av modell v/Kjell Dahle Da Tyskland angrep Norge 9. april 1940 disponerte Marinens flyvåpen seks nye og moderne sjøfly. De deltok aktivt i forsvaret av landet, for det meste i oppgaver av typen transport og observasjon. Da Norge kapitulerte ble fire av flyene evakuert til Storbritannia. Teknisk beskrivelse. Utviklingen av Heinkel He 115 startet i 1935 av Ernst Heinkel Flugzeugwerke G.m.b.H. i Rostock i Tyskland. Flyene ble produsert tre serier (-A, -B, -C) i mange varianter. Flyet var designet for rekognosering, torpedobombing og minelegging, og ble produsert i ca 300 eksemplarer. Flyet var i helmetall med to kraftige BMV-motorer, besetning på tre. Flyene ble eksportert til Norge, Sverige, Finland og Bulgaria. Storbritannia overtok fire fly fra Norge. Marinens flyvåpen bestilte en modifisert versjon, med 20mm kanon i nesepartiet, og mitraljøse i bakre cockpit. Spesifikasjoner Heinkel He 115A-2(N): Vingespenn 22,30 m Lengde 17,30 m Høyde 6,60 m Nettovekt 5 300 kg Maksimal startvekt 9 1000 kg Topphastighet 320 km/t Marsjfart 285 km/t Topphøyde 5 500 m Rekkevidde 2500 km 2 stk BMV 132N 9 sylindret Motorer stjernemotor, 975 HK 1 stk mitraljøse Bestykning 1 stk 20 mm kanon En torpedo på 800 kg Våpenlast Tre 250 kgs bomber I norsk tjeneste. De seks flyene skulle erstatte de gamle torpedoflyene Douglas DT2B og MF11-flyene. Flyene ankom Horten august 1939, fløyet hit av norske flygere. Ytterligere seks fly var bestilt for levering i april 1940, men disse ble ikke levert. I september 1939 ble det vedtatt å opprette en nøytralitetsvakt på grunn av den spente situasjon i Europa, og de nye flyene ble fordelt på marinebasene rundt i landet.
