Türk ve yabancı yayıncılığa başlamak, şu savunma ve havacılık an bulunduğum noktadan kurum ve firmalarına, baktığımda büyük bir cesaret artık dostlarımız olan tüm gibi görünüyor. çalışanlarına, basın mensubu tüm meslektaşlarımıza Dergi yayınlamaya çok teşekkür ediyorum. başladığımız ilk günlerde Defence Turkey ekibimiz, Muharrem DÖRTKAŞLI, çalışmaktan çok mutlu TUSAŞ’a yeni Genel Müdür olduğum ve keyif aldığım, olmuştu ve şöyle demişti değerli arkadaşlarıma, bir basın toplantısında: en başta Cem Akalın’a; “Savunma sanayi firmaları, Yeşim Bilginoğlu Yörük’e müşterileri ve basınıyla ve Şebnem Akalın’a, bir bütündür”. O zaman editörlerimiz İbrahim kendimi sektörün bir parçası Sünnetçi ve Saffet Uyanık’a; gibi hissetmiş, uzun bir yolda tasarımcılarımız Gülsemin bana güven vermişti bu Bolat ve Görkem Elmas’a; sözler. Şimdi görüyorum ki fotoğraf sanatçımız Sinan bu bütünlük duygusu beni Kutsal’a,; çevirmenimiz sektöre bağlayan. Tanyel Akman’a; editing ve proof reader Mona Bütün firmalara, kişilere Melleberg Yükseltürk’e ve basın etiği içerisinde eşit tüm değerli danışma kurulu mesafemizi koruyan yayın üyelerimize de çok teşekkür anlayışımızın yanında, belki ediyorum. Birlikte harika bir de en büyük başarımız insan ekibiz… biriktirmek ve insana yatırım yapmak oldu. Unvanlar, Bir teşekkürüm daha var görevler değişiyor ama güzel o da “kendime.”. Cesaretle anılar, kalpten dokunuşlar adım atarak bu işe girdiğim, unutulmuyor. İçten bir çok severek yol aldığım, Ayşe AKALIN gülümseme, başarıları, güzel insanlar biriktirdiğim Publisher & Editor in Chief sevinçleri, üzüntüleri ve bunun için emek verdiğim içtenlikle paylaşmak ve yaşadığım tüm bu gerçek bildiğimiz, kuralları deneyimler için…. katı ve disiplinli olan iş hayatlarımızda bizleri Şairin dediği gibi: birbirimize bağlıyor ve soluk oluyor hayatlarımıza. “Bütün iyi kitapların Defence Turkey olarak sonunda, yüzümüzdeki içten Bütün gündüzlerin, bütün gülümseme bu nedenledir gecelerin sonunda, ki belki de bizi gerçekten biz yapan. Meltemi senden esen, soluğu sende olan Hayat yolları zaman zaman taşlı hepimizin yaşadığı Yeni bir başlangıç vardır” gibi. Ama 100 sayı boyunca öğrendiğim inancından “Defence Turkey 100. Sayısı vazgeçmemek ama hiç. yeni ve parlak bir geleceğin Hayat bazen direndiğinde, başlangıcı olsun..” bazen direnmekten 100TH ISSUE BUILDING A STRONG FUTURE Hundreds of interviews, articles, news... Visits, fairs, meetings, press conferences, events... And hundreds of memories... Taking up a career in the publishing business as a woman in the defence industry, which is a male-dominated industry both in Turkey and in the world is a feat of courage, when I look back on it. These 100 issues represent so much: hard work and an undying passion... When I first started as publisher, Muharrem DÖRTKAŞLI had become the new general manager of TUSAŞ and he once said in a press conference that “Defence industry companies are a whole with their customers and the press”. At that time, these words made me feel like a part of the industry and gave me confidence in this long journey. Now I see that this sense of integrity connects me to the defence sector. In addition to our understanding of objectivity for all companies and people in ethical journalism, perhaps our biggest success was to invest in people. Job titles and responsibilities change, but good memories and relationships are not Ayşe AKALIN forgotten. Publisher & Editor in Chief This network we have established in the Defence Industry both in our country and abroad, and our neutral and ethical journalism approach will open a new era for Defence Turkey Magazine after 100 issues. Without our readers, advertisers and content providers and our Defence Turkey team, we wouldn’t be celebrating our 100th issue. Thanks so much for making it all happen… Stick around! We have another 100 ahead of us, and we’ll continue to try to make each issue better than the previous one. Enjoy this issue... I congratulate the 15th anniversary and 100th issue of Defence Turkey magazine, one of the distinguished organizations of our defence industry media. The Defence Industry Executive Committee, chaired by the then Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan in 2004, constitutes an important milestone in the target of becoming a country that can meet its own needs in the defence industry. During the last 15 years, our Turkish defence industry has met the needs for systems required by our security forces mostly with domestic and national production. In this process, while becoming one of the leading countries of the world in certain areas, new technology acquisitions have been achieved in certain areas, and significant progress has been achieved regarding the systems of the future. Defence Turkey has been announcing to the industry and the public the developments in the best way over the past 15 years since its establishment. Besides, it has been providing a better understanding of these developments with its analyses and evaluation. Today, our defence industry has reached a vast ecosystem, from our main contractor companies to subcontractors and SMEs at all levels, from our clusters and universities to our techno-parks and research centers. While our ecosystem is moving towards the “Fully Independent Defence Industry” target with all its stakeholders, we know that our defence industry press enlightens the public both within the country and abroad with the same target. On this occasion, I congratulate once again those who contributed to the achievement of Defence Turkey's 15th year and 100th issue and all the employees who have worked since its establishment. Prof. Dr. İsmail Demir President of Defence Industries 6 Congratulations for the 100th issue Serdar Demirel Celal Sami Tüfekçi SSB, Vice President SSB, Vice President With the establishment of the Republic, our country On the occasion of its 15th anniversary,

  • Glider Handbook, Chapter 2: Components and Systems
    Chapter 2 Components and Systems Introduction Although gliders come in an array of shapes and sizes, the basic design features of most gliders are fundamentally the same. All gliders conform to the aerodynamic principles that make flight possible. When air flows over the wings of a glider, the wings produce a force called lift that allows the aircraft to stay aloft. Glider wings are designed to produce maximum lift with minimum drag. 2-1 Glider Design With each generation of new materials and development and improvements in aerodynamics, the performance of gliders The earlier gliders were made mainly of wood with metal has increased. One measure of performance is glide ratio. A fastenings, stays, and control cables. Subsequent designs glide ratio of 30:1 means that in smooth air a glider can travel led to a fuselage made of fabric-covered steel tubing forward 30 feet while only losing 1 foot of altitude. Glide glued to wood and fabric wings for lightness and strength. ratio is discussed further in Chapter 5, Glider Performance. New materials, such as carbon fiber, fiberglass, glass reinforced plastic (GRP), and Kevlar® are now being used Due to the critical role that aerodynamic efficiency plays in to developed stronger and lighter gliders. Modern gliders the performance of a glider, gliders often have aerodynamic are usually designed by computer-aided software to increase features seldom found in other aircraft.

  • The Expected Wave-Off by Richard Carlson SSF Chairman
    The Expected Wave-Off by Richard Carlson SSF Chairman The February morning was bright and clear, just as the forecast had predicted. It was a perfect day to go out to the glider school and knock some rust off and beat those Chicago winter blues. With the forecast for temperatures in the low 40’s and no snow on the grass runway, a group of us made arrangements to meet Saturday morning for some winter flying. Nobody expected thermals, and we were not disappointed flying only sled rides in our trusty Blanik L-13. We all pitched in to ready the glider for flight, doing the pre-flight inspection and securing the rear seat belts as everyone was going solo to get current. Today our Green Citrabria would be doing the towing duties. It was pre-heated, started and test flown, all systems go. My turn finally arrived and I eagerly climbed into the front seat, buckled up , ran the flow, and conducted the checklist. The lack of an electrical system meant no radio or audio vario, just basic analog gauges for Airspeed, Altitude, and Vario - Check. Belts on and adjusted, rear seat belts fastened to avoid any fouling of the controls - Check. No ballast installed and none required – Check. Flaps and Dive brakes closed and handles in the lock detent, stick and rudder pedals free travel in all directions, trim set for take-off – Check. Towplane in position, no knots in the rope, proper towring attached and verified – Check. Canopy close and locked, vents open to keep it from fogging over – Check.

    United States General Accounting Office Report to the Chairman, Joint Economic GAO Committee, U.S. Senate June 1998 CHINA Military Imports From the United States and the European Union Since the 1989 Embargoes GAO/NSIAD-98-176 United States General Accounting Office GAO Washington, D.C. 20548 National Security and International Affairs Division B-279891 June 16, 1998 The Honorable James Saxton Chairman, Joint Economic Committee United States Senate Dear Mr. Chairman: In June 1989, the United States and the members of the European Union 1 embargoed the sale of military items to China to protest China’s massacre of demonstrators in Beijing’s Tiananmen Square. You have expressed concern regarding continued Chinese access to foreign technology over the past decade, despite these embargoes. As requested, we identified (1) the terms of the EU embargo and the extent of EU military sales to China since 1989, (2) the terms of the U.S. embargo and the extent of U.S. military sales to China since 1989, and (3) the potential role that such EU and U.S. sales could play in addressing China’s defense needs. In conducting this review, we focused on military items—items that would be included on the U.S. Munitions List. This list includes both lethal items (such as missiles) and nonlethal items (such as military radars) that cannot be exported without a license.2 Because the data in this report was developed from unclassified sources, its completeness and accuracy may be subject to some uncertainty. The context for China’s foreign military imports during the 1990s lies in Background China’s recent military modernization efforts.3 Until the mid-1980s, China’s military doctrine focused on defeating technologically superior invading forces by trading territory for time and employing China’s vast reserves of manpower.

  • Missilesmissilesdr Carlo Kopp in the Asia-Pacific
    MISSILESMISSILESDr Carlo Kopp in the Asia-Pacific oday, offensive missiles are the primary armament of fighter aircraft, with missile types spanning a wide range of specialised niches in range, speed, guidance technique and intended target. With the Pacific Rim and Indian Ocean regions today the fastest growing area globally in buys of evolved third generation combat aircraft, it is inevitable that this will be reflected in the largest and most diverse inventory of weapons in service. At present the established inventories of weapons are in transition, with a wide variety of Tlegacy types in service, largely acquired during the latter Cold War era, and new technology 4th generation missiles are being widely acquired to supplement or replace existing weapons. The two largest players remain the United States and Russia, although indigenous Israeli, French, German, British and Chinese weapons are well established in specific niches. Air to air missiles, while demanding technologically, are nevertheless affordable to develop and fund from a single national defence budget, and they result in greater diversity than seen previously in larger weapons, or combat aircraft designs. Air-to-air missile types are recognised in three distinct categories: highly agile Within Visual Range (WVR) missiles; less agile but longer ranging Beyond Visual Range (BVR) missiles; and very long range BVR missiles. While the divisions between the latter two categories are less distinct compared against WVR missiles, the longer ranging weapons are often quite unique and usually much larger, to accommodate the required propellant mass. In technological terms, several important developments have been observed over the last decade.
