  • Airshow Accident Review 2014
    1 AIRSHOW ACCIDENT REVIEW 2014 Des Barker The tenets expressed in this review are those of the author and addresses a sample of significant accidents and incidents at aerial events worldwide in 2014, both during the actual events and during rehearsals and includes, airshows, air races, flypasts, and air capability demonstrations; in fact, any event at which an aircraft is displayed or rehearses for a public air event in which the flow of the event is jeopardised. Des Barker Introduction There is a Frank Sinatra song with lyrics: “When I was seventeen, it was a very good year”, - 2014 could have been a good year for the airshow community had it not been for the seventeen accidents and incidents worldwide resulting in the deaths of ten pilots and injury to one crew member. Most certainly, it was the best year since 2000 in terms of the number of accidents and incidents and also the fact that there were no injuries to spectators although a passenger died being ‘flipped’ during a low level display! As an international airshow community we have continued to reduce Airshow Accidents/Incidents 1998 to 2014 accidents and incidents at airshows; decreasing from 37 in 2010 to 17 in 2014. 40 The question over the past three years has been whether the apparent decrease 35 was attributable to some statistical spike or a genuine all-round improvement to 30 airshow safety worldwide from the contributions of the display pilots, safety 25 officers, air bosses, airshow organisers and spectators. Could it just be that the number of air events have reduced? 20 Unfortunately, there are no accurate figures available for the number of air 15 events worldwide, nor the number of hours flown annually from which to draw 10 scientific conclusions.

  • Red Bull Air Race World Championship, March 2015
    Sport Tim Barnes-Clay gets our engines revving with a Red Bull look at the most thrilling World air race in the world Air Race reated in 2003, and officially the World Championship of air racing since 2005, the Red Bull Air Race is followed by Championship millions of fans across the globe. The fastest motorsport series in the world Cfeatures 14 of the best race pilots in a pure motorsport competition that combines speed, precision and skill. Using the fastest, most agile and lightweight racing planes, pilots navigate a low-level aerial track made up of air-filled pylons 25 meters high. New since 2014 is the Challenger Cup, a competition which enables young talented pilots to work towards gaining entry into the Master Class of the Red Bull Air Race World Championship. When the 2015 Red Bull Air Race World Championship kicked off in Abu Dhabi on 13th/14th February, defending champion Nigel Lamb had his work cut out for him. The Brit was pushed to the limits by the 2008 world champion Hannes Arch who finished second overall last year – and the two-time world champion Paul Bonhomme, who won last year’s season opener in Abu Dhabi and was third overall in 2014. 1 waterfrontmagazines.co.uk 2 Sport In what is shaping up to be one of the most competitive fields in the history of the world’s fastest motorsports series, Lamb will also be trying to stay on top of the expanded roster of 14 pilots in the high-speed, low-altitude sport. “Those sudden changes make the track even more difficult for the pilots when they’re flying through it at 370 km/h.” There were five different winners in the eight races last season as the gaps between victory and defeat dwindled to their closest ever, just a mere thousandth of a second separating some heats, and nine of the 12 pilots made it onto the podium at least once.

  • Red Bull Air Race World Championship Returns in 2014
    Red Bull Air Race World Championship returns in 2014 The Red Bull Air Race World Championship will be back in the skies in February 2014 with a full seven-race World Championship staged in 6 countries on 3 continents including the UK. The return of the world’s fastest motorsport series was announced at a news conference at the Putrajaya Maritime Centre in Malaysia today. PUTRAJAYA (Malaysia), October 8th 2013. “We’re delighted to announce that the new Red Bull Air Race World Championship will be launched on February 28th in Abu Dhabi (UAE),” said Erich Wolf, CEO Red Bull Air Race GmbH. “We’ve all worked very hard over the last three years fine-tuning some of the safety aspects to bring the sport to a new level. We never took our eye off the target and neither have these fantastic pilots or the great fans around the world. Their interest in the sport remained unbelievably high during these past few years. We can’t wait to get back in the air in February 2014.” The fourth stop on the 2014 calendar brings the Championship to Ascot Racecourse (UK). Charles Barnett, CEO Ascot said, “The Red Bull Air Race World Championship, like Ascot, is a respected global brand and showcases elite pilots to a worldwide audience. This is a tremendously important announcement for us as this is by far the most significant event outside Horse Racing that we have staged at the racecourse. The UK has a reputation as a leader in staging major sports events – the recent Olympic Games, of course, and high profile annual events such as Wimbledon, The Open Championship and, of course, Royal Ascot.

  • The 2014 Air Race Season So
    WHEL – Aerospace Resources & more (www.whel.de) The 2014 air race season so far Now that the spectacular first-ever Red Bull Air Race in Putrajaya, Malaysia, has come to a close it’s probably the right time for an early review. Following a three year break, the return of the air race in 2014 was desperately sought after by pilots and fans alike. Expectations were certainly high, but also clearly some things had to be changed. Now, have these changes paid off? Here’s the lowdown fol- lowing three exiting races with three different winners on three fairly different race tracks. Standardised engines, propellers and exhaust systems This has probably been the most important move to re-establish the Red Bull Air Race as a competi- tion among the best, most skilful aerobatic pilots in the world. Rather than allowing it to further evolve into a “who will spend the most on tuning his engine”-game, Formula 1-style. At the end of the 2010 season the final race at EuroSpeedway Lausitz made clear the airplanes apparently weren’t on level playing ground. There was said to be an advantage of around 20% in power from the strongest over fairly stock engines on some airplanes. We are talking some extra 50 horse powers here. At the same time lightweight props were adding performance but also safety risks. Now the standardised Lycoming Thunderbolt AEIO-540-EXP engines are quoted to be within 2% of each other. That translates to around 5 horse powers margin; something that may not make all the difference in the world.
