The match is based on an almost identical airframe/engine combination Note 2: The C-5 is equivalenced with the B-747 since it is the heaviest model that is available. No equivalence report was made for this aircraft. Note 3: An insufficient amount of information was available to establish an equivalence report this aircraft. The equivalence is based on the identical airframe Note 4: The C551 is a special version of the C550. These two types are therefore equivalenced. No equivalence report was made for this aircraft. Note 5: All military jet fighters are equivalenced with the generic fighter model (FGTR). Equivalence reports are not produced for these aircraft. December 1996 Page 3 EEC Note No. 30/96 Equivalences Report for BADA 2.5 2.2 Modified Equivalences One modified equivalence is proposed for BADA 2.5. This equivalent was modified from B747 to B74F in order to offer a higher maximum altitude to the B74S. Table 2-2: Modified Equivalence Aircraft for BADA 2.5 Equivalenced Aircraft Referenced Aircraft (Directly Supported) B74S B74F 2.3 Equivalence Data In all, a total of 39 aircraft equivalences are evaluated with the results given in Appendix A. These summary reports compare the attributes of the equivalence and reference aircraft, that is: Ø maximum take-off weight (MTOW); Ø number and type of engines; Ø service ceiling; Ø maximum operating speed; Ø maximum range; Ø year of introduction (FAA certification or first flight); and, Ø maximum rate of climb at sea level. An equivalence is accepted when the average error between the equivalence and the reference aircraft for MTOW, ceiling, rate of climb at sea level, range and speed does not exceed 20 %. The speed can be given in Mach number or knots depending on the data that was available. The sources for this information are Jane's All the World's Aircraft. In the source field only the volume of referenced Jane's is mentioned. For all data it is assumed that Source (1) is used unless indicated otherwise in the Aircraft Equivalence Reports in Appendix A.

    Technical Supplements S1 The IG JAS Investment In this Technical Supplement the JAS 39 Gripen product concept is outlined, the procurement process documented, the Industry Group IG JAS presented and the critical role of the competent public procurement agency, the FMV, highlighted. S1.1 The Procurement of the JAS 39 Gripen Aircraft with Swing-Role Capabilities The JAS 39 Gripen multirole combat aircraft (J stands for fighter, A for Attack and S for Surveillance/reconnaissance) is a fourth generation aircraft that entered operational service in 1997. It replaced the Viggen, the last of which was taken out of service in 2006. JAS 39 Gripen is a combat aircraft with swing-role capabilities that can change mission in flight. This swing-role capability was unique when Gripen was launched but has later been introduced on the French Rafale and the Eurofighter. Other competing multirole aircraft first have to land to reconfigure its information, guidance, and weapons systems for a new role. Gripen was the first “unstable” aircraft in the world which meant that in order for the aircraft to be stable at all speeds and in all maneuvers many more navigation surfaces are needed than the pilot can possibly control himself to minimize air friction at each moment. He needs incredibly sophisticated computer systems support to maneuver the aircraft effectively and safely. Competing fourth generation combat aircraft are F-35/JSF (the USA, not yet (2009) delivered to market), the Eurofighter Typhoon (the UK, etc.) and Rafale (Dassault, France). JAS 39 Gripen also competes with upgraded versions of the third generation aircraft of Lockheed Martin F-16 (the USA, first delivered in 1978), Boeing F/A18 Hornet (the USA, first delivered in 1983), Dassault Mirage 2000 (France, first delivered in 1983), and Mig-29 (the former Soviet Union, first delivered in 1977).

  • Aviation Activity Forecasts BOWERS FIELD AIRPORT AIRPORT MASTER PLAN
    Chapter 3 – Aviation Activity Forecasts BOWERS FIELD AIRPORT AIRPORT MASTER PLAN Chapter 3 – Aviation Activity Forecasts The overall goal of aviation activity forecasting is to prepare forecasts that accurately reflect current conditions, relevant historic trends, and provide reasonable projections of future activity, which can be translated into specific airport facility needs anticipated during the next twenty years and beyond. Introduction This chapter provides updated forecasts of aviation activity for Kittitas County Airport – Bowers Field (ELN) for the twenty-year master plan horizon (2015-2035). The most recent FAA-approved aviation activity forecasts for Bowers Field were prepared in 2011 for the Airfield Needs Assessment project. Those forecasts evaluated changes in local conditions and activity that occurred since the previous master plan forecasts were prepared in 2000, and re-established base line conditions. The Needs Assessment forecasts provide the “accepted” airport-specific projections that are most relevant for comparison with the new master plan forecasts prepared for this chapter. The forecasts presented in this chapter are consistent with Bowers Field’s current and historic role as a community/regional general aviation airport. Bowers Field is the only airport in Kittitas County capable of accommodating a full range of general aviation activity, including business class turboprops and business jets. This level of capability expands the airport’s role to serve the entire county and the local Ellensburg community. The intent is to provide an updated set of aviation demand projections for Bowers Field that will permit airport management to make the decisions necessary to maintain a viable, efficient, and cost-effective facility that meets the area’s air transportation needs.

  • Saab-Väggen I Flygets Hus
    Saab-väggen i Flygets Hus Saab, Svenska Aeroplan Aktiebolaget, grundades år 1937 i Trollhättan och slogs 1939 sam- man med ASJA, Aktiebolaget Svenska Järnvägsverkstädernas Aeroplanavdelning. Huvud- kontoret flyttades till Linköping där ASJA utvecklat och byggt flygplan sedan 1931. Saab och Scania-Vabis fusionerades 1969 till Saab-Scania AB där Saab Flygdivisionen blev en av fyra divisioner. Saab-Scania-koncernen delades 1995 upp i två företag – Saab AB och Scania AB. Saab-väggen visar de flygplan som utvecklats och tillverkats av Saab samt personer som haft en central roll för utvecklingen av såväl företaget som dess produkter eller varit nyckel- personer inom olika teknikområden. De flesta personerna har belönats med Thulinmedaljen som instiftades 1944 av Flygtekniska Föreningen för att hedra minnet av flygpionjären Enoch Thulin. Den utdelas i guld, silver eller brons såsom en ”utmärkelse och erkänsla för flygteknisk gärning”. Alla Saabanställda som tilldelats Thulinmedaljen i guld fram till år 2019 är representerade i porträttgalleriet medan silvermedaljörerna presenteras i en lista i slutet av skriften. Porträttguide Marcus Wallenberg, bank- och industrimannen, var drivande vid bildandet av Saab och betydde mycket för företagets ut- veckling genom åren. Han var ledamot i företagets styrelse från starten 1939 och dess ordförande 1969 – 1980. Ragnar Wahrgren var 1939 chef för ASJ och blev efter samman- slagningen 1939 Saabs förste vd i Linköping. Han ledde företa- get under krigsåren och därefter fram till 1950. Elis Nordquist anställdes vid ASJA 1934 och var vid samman- slagningen 1939 dess chef. I det ”nya” Saab var han chef för tekniska avdelningen fram till 1950 då han utnämndes till vvd.

  • Chapter 3 – Projections of Aviation Demand
    Chapter 3 – Projections of Aviation Demand Chapter 3 Projections of Aviation Demand This chapter contains aviation activity forecasts for the University Park Airport (Airport) over a 20-year planning horizon. Aviation demand forecasts are an important step in the master planning process. Ultimately, they form the basis for future demand-driven improvements at the Airport, provide data from which to estimate future off-airport impacts, such as noise and traffic, and are incorporated by reference into other studies and policy decisions. This chapter, which presents aviation activity forecasts through 2030, is organized as follows: 3.1 Forecasting Approach 3.2 Enplaned Passengers 3.3 Based Aircraft 3.4 Based Aircraft Fleet Mix 3.5 Total Operations 3.6 Commercial Aircraft Operations 3.7 General Aviation Operations 3.8 Military Operations 3.9 Instrument Operations 3.10 Cargo Activity 3.11 Peak Operations 3.12 Design Aircraft 3.13 Forecast Summary and FAA TAF Comparison 3.14 Revised Enplanement Forecast The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) projects future aviation activity through its Terminal Area Forecasts (TAF) which were used to compare projections prepared for this master plan. Forecasts that are developed for airport master plans and/or federal grants must be approved by the FAA. It is the FAA’s policy, listed in Advisory Circular (AC) 150/5070-6B, Airport Master Plans, that FAA approval of forecasts should be consistent with the TAF. Master plan forecasts for operations, based aircraft and enplanements are considered to be consistent with the TAF if they meet the following criteria: • Forecasts differ by less than ten percent in the five-year forecast and 15 percent in the ten- or 20- year period If the forecast is not consistent with the TAF, differences must be resolved prior to using the forecast in FAA decision-making.

  • Aircraft Designations and Popular Names
    Chapter 1 Aircraft Designations and Popular Names Background on the Evolution of Aircraft Designations Aircraft model designation history is very complex. To fully understand the designations, it is important to know the factors that played a role in developing the different missions that aircraft have been called upon to perform. Technological changes affecting aircraft capabilities have resulted in corresponding changes in the operational capabilities and techniques employed by the aircraft. Prior to WWI, the Navy tried various schemes for designating aircraft. In the early period of naval aviation a system was developed to designate an aircraft’s mission. Different aircraft class designations evolved for the various types of missions performed by naval aircraft. This became known as the Aircraft Class Designation System. Numerous changes have been made to this system since the inception of naval aviation in 1911. While reading this section, various references will be made to the Aircraft Class Designation System, Designation of Aircraft, Model Designation of Naval Aircraft, Aircraft Designation System, and Model Designation of Military Aircraft. All of these references refer to the same system involved in designating aircraft classes. This system is then used to develop the specific designations assigned to each type of aircraft operated by the Navy. The F3F-4, TBF-1, AD-3, PBY-5A, A-4, A-6E, and F/A-18C are all examples of specific types of naval aircraft designations, which were developed from the Aircraft Class Designation System. Aircraft Class Designation System Early Period of Naval Aviation up to 1920 The uncertainties during the early period of naval aviation were reflected by the problems encountered in settling on a functional system for designating naval aircraft.
