  • Bulgaria: “Our Footprint in the World”
    BULGARIA: “OUR FOOTPRINT IN THE WORLD” BULGARIA is one of the oldest European countries and is the only one that hasn’t changed its name ever since it was founded. FIRST SLAVIANIC ALPHABET CREATED BY CYRIL AND METHODIEUS The Bulgarians were the first people to use the CYRILLIC alphabet immediately after the inception in the IX century. Today the Cyrillic alphabet is the third official alphabet of the EU. According to the statistics, BULGARIA ranks third in Europe only after Greece and Italy for the number of its valuable archeological monuments. THE OLDEST GOLDEN TREASURE in the world was found in BULGARIA (in 294 graves were discovered more than 3000 golden objects dating back 6000 years.) PROTOTYPE OF THE MODERN COMPUTER The inventor of the first electronic computer “ABC” JOHN VINCENT ATANASOFF is of Bulgarian origin. Professor John Atanasoff together with his student Cliff Berry built the world’s first electronic digital computer at Iowa State University, between 1939 and 1942. An asteroid near to Mars discovered by Bulgarians was named after JOHN ATANASOFF PROTOTYPE OF THE WORLD’S FIRST ELECTRONIC WRISTWATCH In 1971 , the Bulgarian inventor, engineer and scientist PETAR PETROFF presented the prototype of the world's first digital wristwatch, named "Pulsar". ASSEN JORDANOFF One of the Creators of the USA Civil Aviation, constructor of Boeing THIRD WING IN THE AIRCRAFT In 1915 the Bulgarian aeronautic engineer Assen Jordanoff constructed the FIRST BULGARIAN engine plane. FOR THE FIRST TIME IN THE WORLD, in aircraft. Assen Jordanoff introduced the "third wing" and was one of the founders of the airbags.

  • Assen Jordanoff - the Man Who Contributed to America's Airpower
    Assen Jordanoff - the man who contributed to America's airpower Brief biography of a great Bulgarian 19th revision, 15 Apr 2008 By Plamen Antonov Available also at http://www.pantonov.com/thoughts/assen_jordanoff This study follows the life of Assen Jordanoff from his birth and childhood, through his striking career in Bulgaria and America, to the end of his life, trying to keep close to the facts and avoid exaggerations and typical overworks and myths. It is mostly based on the book by Jordanoff's sister Milka Markowa-Totevy, written in tribute to her brother, on Jordanoff's own books, and on some other sources as well. Assen Jordanoff's career, after its brilliant beginning in Bulgaria, belongs to the development of aviation in America. Jordanoff occupied a distinct place among distinguished airmen at a given time - the golden age of aviation. "Jordanoff's contribution was essential to the advancement of U.S. aviation, thanks to his instructional/analytical books in the field of aeronautics and its processes, as well as thanks to the direct application of his engineering and practical skills in the building of aircraft. Jordanoff directly participated in the creation of important flying craft during WWII. One of them was P-40, which was present on all the combat sites and played a major part in air-to-air or air-to-ground confrontations. Another plane that greatly owes to him was the P-38, a 2-motor fighter having a large degree of mobility and range. It had a predominant role in the Pacific War, although it could be useful for many other purposes as well.

In diesem ersten Teil berichte ich über den Übergang vom Sicht- zum Ins- trumentenflug, von den Anfängen der Funknavigation bis hin zu den ersten „Blindlandungen“. Im zweiten Teil des Artikels werde ich die Suche nach dem elektronischen Gleitweg nachzeichnen, der ebenfalls zur „Blindlandung“ führen sollte, es aber nur bis zum Instrumenten- Anflug geschafft hat. Am Ende entbrennt ein erbitterter Streit um die Einführung des ILS in den USA und weltweit. Und dann der Höhepunkt: Ein vollautomati- scher Flug über den Nordatlantik im Jahr 1947 ...

    Dr. J. S. Owenst The death of Dr. J. S. Owens on December 6 removes a most useful and public-spirited man of science. For nearly thirty years Dr. Owens has been the moving spirit in the investiga- tion of atmospheric pollution on its quantitative side. He devised the instruments in use, and co-ordinated, tabulated and prepared for publication all the data on which the progressive changes in the amount of pollution in the atmosphere are evaluated. As the result of the Smoke Abatement Exhibition in 1912 a committee was formed for the systematic investigation of atmospheric pollution, and Owens became its secretary. In 1917 the work of this committee was transferred to the Meteorological Office and Owens was appointed part-time superintendent in charge of the Atmospheric Pollution Division. In 1927 the Department of Scientific and Industrial Research took over the investigation of atmospheric pollution from the Meteorological Office, and in order that the supervision of the instruments and the compilation of statistics should remain in his charge, Owens was appointed superin- tendent of observations. For the quantitative investigation of atmospheric pollution Owens devised three main instruments and several instruments of lesser importance. The most widely used of these instruments was the standard deposit gauge. This consisted of a simple collecting basin having an opening of approximately four square feet exposed in the open on a stand at a height of four feet. All the pollution and rain which fell into the basin was collected and analyzed, giving valuable information as to the amount and nature of the pollution deposited from the atmosphere.
