Cessna Denali Has Been Realigned to Beechcraft Turboprop Family
50SKYSHADESImage not found or type unknown- aviation news CESSNA DENALI HAS BEEN REALIGNED TO BEECHCRAFT TURBOPROP FAMILY News / Business aviation, Manufacturer Image not found or type unknown © 2015-2021 50SKYSHADES.COM — Reproduction, copying, or redistribution for commercial purposes is prohibited. 1 Textron Aviation is realigning its turboprop aircraft lineup as the single-engine Beechcraft Denali (previously branded the Cessna Denali) joins the legendary twin-engine Beechcraft King Air 260 and King Air 360/360ER as part of the company’s high-performance turboprop product lineup. The aircraft development program continues to progress toward a first flight anticipated later this year. “The Beechcraft Denali represents our continued strategy to invest in clean-sheet and current products in both our Beechcraft and Cessna iconic brands. Beechcraft turboprops are renowned for their versatility and reliability, and the single-engine Denali is a perfect complement to this legendary family of products,” said Ron Draper, Textron Aviation, president and CEO. “Pilots and passengers will appreciate the aircraft for its enhanced capabilities, innovative technology and all-around passenger comfort.” The Beechcraft Denali is designed to outperform its competition with projected lower operating costs, Garmin G3000 avionics, and the largest cabin in its class. Engineered to achieve cruise speeds of 285 knots with a full fuel payload of 1,100 pounds, the Denali will have a range of 1,600 nautical miles at high speed cruise with one pilot and four passengers. “We continue to receive interest around the world from turboprop and piston owners of competing aircraft, who are looking to move into an aircraft with greater performance and enhanced passenger experience,” said Lannie O’Bannion, senior vice president, Global Sales and Flight Operations. -

SPONS AGENCY Bureau of Elementary and Secondary Education (DHEW/OE), Washington, D.C. PUB DATE [73] NOTE 117p. EDRS PRICE MF-$0.65 HC-$6.58 DESCRIPTORS *Aerospace Education; *Course Descriptions; Curriculum Guides; Grade 10; Grade 11; Grade 12; Independent Study; *Program Descriptions; *Program Evaluation; Skill Development; Student Evaluation; Vocational Aptitude; Vocational Counseling; Vocational Interests IDENTIFIERS Elementary Secondary Education Act Title III; ESEA Title III ABSTRACT The objectives of a three-year comprehensive aerospace education program at Kenston High School, Chagrin Falls, Ohio, funded under Title III ESEA, were to provide marketable skills for non-College-bound students as well as counseling for the student planning on college or technical school education in the aviation field. Students also were taught skills of other disciplines such as math, geography, cartography, and science under real job-training conditions. The entire three-year program in aerospace education included three year-long courses, totaling three units of high school credit and was made available to all interested tenth, eleventh, and twelfth grade students. The program was supplemented with speakers, audio-visuals, and field trips; students in each course were required to do an independent study project. An evaluation of the project reflects aviation student profiles, class attendance, course interest, future vocational goals of students, and interest-aptitude survey. Other aspects covered are the impact of Title III, cooperating agencies, information dissemination, and costs. More than half of this document is devoted to appendixes describing student aviation projects and reports, curriculum guides of courses, students survey, photographs, evaluation samples (OVIS, Strong, and GATB),- and phase-in report. -
The US Army Air Forces in WWII
DEPARTMENT OF THE AIR FORCE HEADQUARTERS UNITED STATES AIR FORCE Air Force Historical Studies Office 28 June 2011 Errata Sheet for the Air Force History and Museum Program publication: With Courage: the United States Army Air Forces in WWII, 1994, by Bernard C. Nalty, John F. Shiner, and George M. Watson. Page 215 Correct: Second Lieutenant Lloyd D. Hughes To: Second Lieutenant Lloyd H. Hughes Page 218 Correct Lieutenant Hughes To: Second Lieutenant Lloyd H. Hughes Page 357 Correct Hughes, Lloyd D., 215, 218 To: Hughes, Lloyd H., 215, 218 Foreword In the last decade of the twentieth century, the United States Air Force commemorates two significant benchmarks in its heritage. The first is the occasion for the publication of this book, a tribute to the men and women who served in the U.S. Army Air Forces during World War 11. The four years between 1991 and 1995 mark the fiftieth anniversary cycle of events in which the nation raised and trained an air armada and com- mitted it to operations on a scale unknown to that time. With Courage: U.S.Army Air Forces in World War ZZ retells the story of sacrifice, valor, and achievements in air campaigns against tough, determined adversaries. It describes the development of a uniquely American doctrine for the application of air power against an opponent's key industries and centers of national life, a doctrine whose legacy today is the Global Reach - Global Power strategic planning framework of the modern U.S. Air Force. The narrative integrates aspects of strategic intelligence, logistics, technology, and leadership to offer a full yet concise account of the contributions of American air power to victory in that war. -

Round 4 1. The first truly scientific study of these objects was undertaken nearly simultaneously by JeanBaptiste Lamarck and Luke Howard. Howard’s Latin naming system is still used for these objects found in the homosphere,* the 3 lower layers of the Earth’s atmosphere. Silver iodide is used to “seed” these objects, which has been suggested as an alternative to the severe heat expected in Dubai for the 2022 World Cup. For 10 points, name these objects, which come in varieties such as “cirrus,” “stratus,” and “cumulonimbus.” Clouds 2. The first draft of this document was written in 1792 with the assistance of James Madison, but set aside for this man’s final term as President, chiefly due to internal struggles within his Cabinet. The revised version of this document, which warns against “foreign entanglements,”* and refers to the actions of political parties as a “frightful despotism,” was edited by Alexander Hamilton. For 10 points, name this document, first published in the American Daily Advertiser in 1796, written by George Washington, that also warns against sectionalism, and is still read aloud by the Senate on his birthday.

Twins in an Ever-Changing Business Aviation World, Turboprops
Textron is betting big 16 with the Cessna Denali that turboprops have a solid future. Twins Dornier Seastar After several years of uncer- tainty, the centerline push-pull, all-composite amphibian twin appears back on track after the Dornier family formed a new joint venture (Dornier Seawings) to manufacture the aircraft with China’s Wuxi Industrial Development Group and the Wuxi Communications Industry Group. It then struck a deal in February this year for component airframe parts for the first 10 aircraft to be manu- factured at Diamond Aircraft’s by Mark Huber plant in London, Ontario, and shipped to Dornier Seawings in 16 Oberpfaffenhofen, Germany, In an ever-changing business aviation world, turboprops for final assembly.

Box 471 • Boulder, Colorado 80306 • www.bouldercounty.org BOULDER COUNTY PLANNING COMMISSION May 15, 2013 – 3:00 pm Hearing Room, Third Floor Boulder County Courthouse Staff: Abigail Shannon, AICP DC-13-0001 Various Policy Clarifications and “Clean-Up” Amendments Text amendments to Articles 1, 3, 4, 7, 8, 9, 13, and 17 to correct and clarify miscellaneous provisions within the Boulder County Land Use Code related to: advertising requirements for BCCP public hearings, eligibility of floodplain variances, clarification in the Kennel use classification, clarification in the Vehicle Service Center use classification, applicability of SPR in the Rural Community Districts, reinstating the Airport regulations, clarification to boundary line adjustment criteria, correcting references to Community Uses in the Sign regulations, and correcting the name of Boulder County Public Health throughout the Code. Public testimony will be taken – Action requested SUMMARY The Land Use Code is a living document. While some amendments are large in scope (such as the recently completed Agricultural amendments), other amendments are more discrete. County staff, members of the public, and decision makers will occasionally identify areas in the Code that are ripe for amendment but not in need of urgent change. We like to package these possible changes into one docket in order to achieve a higher level of efficiency in reviewing and approving these proposals. IDENTIFIED AMENDMENTS Staff has identified nine topics which could be included in an upcoming clarification and “clean-up” docket. Italicized words indicate Land Use Code language – if words are stricken, staff is proposing to delete these words from the Code; if words are underlined, it means staff is proposing to add these words to the Code.
