Commercial Human Spaceflight Crew Training Survey February 2008 About the Office of Commercial Space Transportation
FAA CommercialCommercial Space Space TransportationTransportation HQ-080204 Commercial Human Spaceflight Crew Training Survey February 2008 About the Office of Commercial Space Transportation The Federal Aviation Administration, Office of Commercial Space Transportation, licenses and regulates U.S. commercial space launch and reentry activity as well as the operation of non- federal launch and reentry sites as authorized by Executive Order 12465 and Title 49 United States Code, Subtitle IX, Chapter 701 (formerly the Commercial Space Launch Act). The Office’s mission is to ensure public health and safety and the safety of property while protecting the national security and foreign policy interests of the United States during commercial launch and reentry operations. In addition, the Office is directed to encourage, promote, and facilitate commercial space launches and reentries.

Het Grote LUCHTVAARTKENNIS Register
Het grote LUCHTVAARTKENNIS register Het register van het Luchtvaart Historisch Tijdschrift ‘LUCHTVAARTKENNIS’ en de daaraan voorafgaande ‘Mededelingen’ van de Afdeling Luchtvaartkennis van de KNVvL geeft een overzicht van hetgeen in de afgelopen jaren is gepubliceerd, m.u.v. de eerste jaargang, die helaas niet meer te traceren blijkt. Uiteraard is v.w.b. De eerste jaargangen selectief opgetreden, aangezien daarin veel summiere feiten (vliegtuiggegevens etc.) staan, die zo niet achterhaald, dan toch eenvoudiger elders te vinden zijn. Ook de diverse publicaties van het vooroorlogse Nederlandse burgerlucht- vaartregister zijn weggelaten, omdat deze na het verschijnen van het boek ‘75 jaar Nederlandse burgerluchtvaartregisters’ als overbodig kunnen worden beschouwd. Aangezien eerst in 1987 een volledige paginanummering voor het gehele jaar werd ingevoerd, wordt tot dat jaar de vindplaats aangeduid met jaartal en nummer van de betreffende aflevering van de ‘Mededelingen’. Vanaf 1987 geschied zulks per pagina. De in de Luchtvaartencyclopedie verschenen onderwerpen worden aangeduid conform de aflevering waarin deze verschenen. In een enkel geval uit 1985/86 bleek dit niet te achterhalen. Wanneer in een artikel de gehele productie van een bepaalde fabriek wordt weergegeven, wordt volstaan met de vermelding van de fabriek en worden niet de afzonderlijke types vermeld.

G Glider Used at the USAF Test Pilot School
UNITED STATES MILITARY AIRCRAFT by Jos Heyman Tri-service G=Glider Many of the aircraft included in the G series were used by the USAF Academy and received civilian registrations as well as serials. Most of the latter used out of sequence Fiscal years as well as numbers in the 9xxxxx range based on the aircraft’s construction number. Last updated: 1 January 2016 G-1 Schweizer SGS 2-25 Specifications: span: 60’0, 18.29 m length: max. speed: The TG-1A was a two-seat glider used at the US Air Force Academy. Being the only example built, it was used in the 1954 and 1956 World Championships before being donated to the US Air Force Academy where it was registered as N225AF and was used until 1986. It has been suggested that its serial was 54-90001. G-2 Schweizer 2-22E Specifications: span: 43’0”, 13.11 m length: 25’1”, 7.63 m max. speed: 89 mph, 143 km/h The TG-2A was a two-seat glider used at the US Air Force Academy. Serials included 64-900200 which aircraft also carried civilian registration N5824V (c/n 200). It was subsequently sold and remains in use as at 2008. Refer also to S-1 G-3 Schweizer SGS 1-26B Specifications: span: 40', 12.19 m length: 21'7", 6.58 m max. speed: 114 mph, 183 km/h (Source: www.aetc.af.mil/photos/mediagallery) The TG-3A was a single-seat glider used at the US Air Force Academy. Aircraft included serials and registrations 66-900354 (N2426W), 66-900358 (N2426W), 77-900265 (N5830V), 77-900484 (N1155S), 91-0515 (used by the US Army) and 92-624 (N33894). -
The Incomplete Guide to Airfoil Usage Page 1
The Incomplete Guide to Airfoil Usage Page 1 The Incomplete Guide to Airfoil Usage David Lednicer Analytical Methods, Inc. 2133 152nd Ave NE Redmond, WA 98052 [email protected] Last update 3/6/2002 what's new Frequently, the question arises as to what airfoil or airfoils were used in the wing design of a particular aircraft. Jane's All The World's Aircraft has been a good source of this information, but in many cases (particularly military aircraft) it doesn't list this information. To answer this perennial question, the following list has been created. Besides conventionally configured aircraft, canard configured aircraft, tandem wing aircraft, three-surface aircraft, helicopters, tilt rotors and autogyros are addressed. This list is titled as "Incomplete", as there are many aircraft that are still not included. Many of the airfoils listed below can be found at the companion site:UIUC Airfoil Data Site. A note: this list has grown to the point where it is quite large. For this reason, it takes a while to load. I apologize for the inconvenience but assure you that the wait is worth it! On designations: many of the airfoils listed here have "mod" at the end of their designation. Typically, this means that either the camber line has been modified, the leading edge contour has been modified or that the trailing edge thickness has been changed. Some common airfoil name prefixes and their designers are: ARA - the Aircraft Research Association, Ltd. in Britain Clark - Col. Virginius Clark of the NACA Davis - David Davis, an independent airfoil designer DLBA - Douglas Long Beach Airfoil Do - Dornier DSMA - Douglas Santa Monica Airfoil DFVLR - the German Research and Development Establishment for Air and Space Travel DLR - the German Aerospace Center Drela - Dr.
