Dudu Frim la bordul unei avionete Klemm T25CP, în 1928 Cuvânt înainte e la primele ei începuturi, uzina de avioane IAR a fost încadrată Dcu o serie de piloţi de elită pentru încercări la zbor ale aparatelor executate de această uzină. Erau aşa-zişii “ piloţi de încercare”. Primii “test piloţi” din IAR au fost: căpitanii aviatori Romeo Popescu, cel cu care am făcut eu botezul aerului,Alexandru Papană, Dumitru Pufi Popescu, iar după moartea lui a devenit pilot şef de încercări inginerul pilot Dudu Alexandru Frim, unul dintre cei mai buni prieteni pe care i-am avut . Dudu Frim continuă zborurile de încercare şi punere la punct ale avioanelor IAR-80, IAR-81, după care execută zborurile în premieră absolută pentru avioanele IAR 47 şi a întreaga serie de bombardiere Savoia Marchetti. Istoric vorbind, evoluţia avionului IAR-80 este legată de numele lui Dumitru Pufi Popescu şi Alexandru Dudu Frim. Era o personalitate foarte complxă şi pentru a-l înţelege am să vă povestesc o aventură comună. Nu decisivă, nu foarte importantă dar definitorie. Datorită fur- tunii cei de la o cabană de ski au rămas izolaţi. Cum se putea rezolva problema ? Aeronautic ! Cu ajutorul unui bombardier ! Mecanicii de la hagar au demontat puntea de trecere dintre lansatoarele de bombe ale unui bombardier Savoia Marchetti, după care, prin trapele larg deschise, baloturile de paie au fost băgate în avion, al cărui fuzelaj s-a umplut până la coadă.

A Century of Romanian Industrial Tradition in Aeronautics Manuela RUSU*,1,a *Corresponding author *INCAS – National Institute for Aerospace Research “Elie Carafoli”, B-dul Iuliu Maniu 220, Bucharest 061126, Romania, [email protected] 1University POLITEHNICA of Bucharest, The Faculty of Engineering and Management of Technological Systems, 313 Splaiul Independentei, Bucharest 060042, Romania DOI: 10.13111/2066-8201.2017.9.1.14 Received: 09 January 2017/ Accepted: 14 February 2017/ Published: March 2017 © Copyright 2017, INCAS. This is an open access article under the CC BY-NC-ND license (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/) Abstract: Inter-war Romania developed 6 aircraft factories, the first starting its activity in 1916. Four of these, with three located in Bucharest, produced over 2000 aircraft, maily for the military use as Romania entered the Second World War. The activity of these factories was undertaken in times when nobody thought about formulating the principles of quality management and the research of the first scientists in quality, Deming, Shewhart and Juran had not yet been accepted or published. The work aims to present the inter-war Romanian aeronautical industry developments regarding the quality management. Key Words: Principles of quality, The General Aviation Reserve, The Aeronautic Arsenal, Astra Arad, SET, IAR, ICAR, Mircea Grossu-Viziru, Ion Grosu, Elie Carafoli, Radu Manicatide, Deming, Shewhart 1. INTRODUCTION We gladly celebrate a century since the first aeronautical industrial unit was founded (27th of September, 1916, Bucharest, The Romanian Old Kingdom). At the time we were among the few countries in the world building heavier-than-air flying machines.

  • Împlinirea a 100 De Ani De La Apariţia Primei Legi De Organizare
    editorial M E S A J U L MINISTRULUI APĂRĂRII NAŢIONALE TRANSMIS CU OCAZIA ANIVERSĂRII CENTENARULUI AERONAUTICII MILITARE ROMÂNE mplinirea a 100 de ani de la apariţia primei Legi de organizare a aeronauticii militare este un moment important în viaţa Înoastră și, în același timp, de cinstire a tradiţiei Forţelor Aeriene Române. Începuturile aeronauticii sunt marcate de nume ca Traian Vuia, Aurel Vlaicu sau Henri Coandă, care au dat României prestigiu și inovaţie. Aceștia, prin invenţiile create, au oferit o nouă viziune aeronauticii militare și au creat perspectivele Forţelor Aeriene Române. Istoria și faptele petrecute în trecut au dovedit deosebita importanţă a aeronauticii militare și a armelor conexe care alcătuiesc în prezent Forţele Aeriene Române, în conflagraţiile mondiale, în exerciţiile și misiunile multinaţionale și naţionale, atât în scopuri militare, cât și civile. Forţele Aeriene s-au dovedit a fi o entitate absolut necesară în procesul de evoluţie al armatei, iar eforturile depuse de militarii dedicaţi apărării spaţiului aerian naţional s-au ridicat la înălţimea așteptărilor acestui domeniu de elită, cu rol decisiv pe scena strategică mondială, în operaţii conduse de Alianţa Nord-Atlantică, Uniunea Europeană și Organizaţia Naţiunilor Unite. Militarii români s-au implicat nemijlocit în dezamorsarea zonelor fierbinţi de pe glob și au demonstrat că integritatea noastră în structurile euroatlantice nu a fost întâmplătoare, ci o consecinţă a muncii și a perseverenţei în timp. Datorită lor, România a devenit un aliat de încredere și un partener important al statelor membre NATO. Am convingerea că vor fi foarte mulţi tineri care se vor îndrepta către această carieră și care vor dori să facă parte din structurile forţelor aeriene.

  • Incursiune În Istoria Industriei Aeronautice Din Brașov
    INCURSIUNE ÎN ISTORIA INDUSTRIEI AERONAUTICE DIN BRAȘOV Ion ȘTEFAN1 [email protected] ABSTRACT: The theme i approached, was and will continue to be an obliga‑ tion of local patriotism, but also a moral responsibility of the educational institutions from Braşov over the past years regarding the development and evolution in our city of one of the most important industries in the last two centuries in the World – the aerospace industry. In this sense, we will try to synthesize and reveal the most important, often unfavorable moments (national political interests with corrup‑ tive origins or unfavorable international geopolitical connotations) regarding the emergence, development and evolution of the aerospace industry in Braşov in the three historical periods which have marked the evolution Romania after the First World War: the interwar capitalist period, the communist period and the capitalist period after December 1989. KEYWORDS: aeronautics, aircraft, education, engineers, inventors, indus‑ try history, Brasov. Introducere Tema abordată de noi a constituit și va constitui în continuare o obligație de patriotism local, dar și o responsabilitate morală a instituțiilor de învățământ brașovene față de înaintași, privind dezvoltarea și evoluția în orașul nostru a uneia dintre industriile de vârf ale ultimelor două secole pe plan mondial – industria aeronautică. Românii s‑au dovedit încă de la început că posedă talente, inventatori și ingineri de excepție care să‑i facă să fie printre reprezentanții puținelor State din Lume, în avangarda cer‑ cetării și a produceri de tehnică aviatică – Brașovul fiind creuzetul acestei spectaculoase industrii. În acest sens vom încerca, pe parcursul paginilor care urmează, să sin‑ tetizăm și să relevăm momentele cele mai importante, deseori neprielnice (interese politice naționale cu origini coruptive sau conjucturi geopolitice 1 Sociolog, membru al Filialei CRIFST – Brașov.

  • 1 IAR Brasov, Prima Uzina Aeronautica Româneasca Premisele Înfiintarii
    1 IAR Brasov, prima uzina aeronautica româneasca Premisele înfiintarii Existenta fabricii de constructii aeronautice de la Ghimbav Brasov, cât si a unora din marile uzine ale tarii noastre (Tractorul Brasov, Electroprecizia Sacele, Dacia Pitesti, Aro Câmpulung) se datoreaza unor oameni de exceptie, care prin puterea mintii, a sufletului, dar nu în ultimul rând a mâinilor, au reusit sa aduca un renume de prestigiu Industriei Aeronautice Române, contribuind la dezvoltarea mondiala a aviatiei. Înfiintarea uzinei IAR înca de la începuturile aviatiei este meritul unor astfel de oameni, pasionati de meseria lor, caci pe cei dintâi care au activat în cadrul IAR-ului îi regasim în unitatile industriale din timpul si dupa primul razboi mondial, dintre care amintim „Rezerva Generala a Aviatiei “ de la Iasi, transferata la Bucuresti în noiembrie 1919 si devenita „Arsenalul Aeronautic “ la data de 1 iulie 1920. Aici îl întâlnim, la conducere, pe maiorul inginer aviator Stefan Protopopescu, detinatorul primului brevet de pilot românesc. Tot aici, dupa proiectul realizat de acesta s-a construit avionul Proto, care urma sa fie în anul 1922 primul avion autohton construit într-o unitate industriala româneasca. Avionul era echipat cu un motor Hispano-Suiza ce dezvolta 180 CP, urcând la 4000 m în 29 min si având plafonul de 6000 m. În cadrul „Arsenalului Aeronautic “ s-au mai construit avioane Brandenburg si reparat diverse timpuri de avioane (Potez XV, Breguet, Spad etc.) dar si motoare ca Austro-Daimler (200 CP), Renault (300 CP) si altele. În 1924 a avut loc la arsenal, prima încercare statica a unei celule de avion, care consta în asezarea pe suprafetele portante a unor saci de nisip pâna la rupere, stabilindu-se astfel factorul de sarcina în exploatare.
