Also, read the aircraft classification handout provided in class. Examine the FAA Advisory Circular 150/5300-13 (Airport Design). Specifically examine Appendix 13 of the FAA Advisory Circular which contains information about various aircraft. a) For the aircraft shown in Table 2.1, state the Airplane Design Group (ADG) class, the Terminal Areas Procedures Aircraft Speed Category, and the wake vortex class for each vehicle. b) For each aircraft, calculate the stalling speed (minimum speed for flight) from the known aircraft approach speeds published in the FAA AC. Stalling speed is just 30% below the approach speed. Table 2.1 Aircraft to be Studied.

Bogash (www.rbogash.com/B314.html) In the world of man-made objects, be they antique cars, historic locomotives, steamships, religious symbols, or, in this case - beautiful airplanes, certain creations stand out. Whether due to perceived beauty, historical importance, or imagined romance, these products of man’s mind and hands have achieved a status above and beyond their peers. For me, the Lockheed Super Constellation is one such object. So is the Boeing 314 Flying Boat the Clipper, (when flown by Pan American Airways) - an Icon in the purest sense of the word. The B-314 was the largest, most luxurious, longest ranged commercial flying boat - built for, and operated by Pan Am. It literally spanned the world, crossing oceans and continents in a style still impressive today. From the late 1930’s through the Second World War, these sky giants set standard unequalled to this day. Arriving from San Francisco at her namesake city, the Honolulu Clipper disembarks her happy travelers at the Pearl City terminal. The 2400 mile trip generally took between 16 and 20 hours depending upon winds.

Primary Responsibilities Research and Writing Currently at work on "The Struggle for the Long-Range Heavy Bomber: The United States Army air Corps, 1934-1939. This book examines the fight between the Army Air Corps, the Army, and the Navy over the introduction of a new generation of long-range heavy bombers during the interwar period. Questions of cost, of departmental responsibility, and of the relationship between business and industry, all play key roles in the search for this elusive aircraft and ultimately which military branch controls the air. Underlying all of these issues is the question of whether or not the United States needs a separate, independent air force. Also researching a book on the creation of Transcontinental & Western Air (TWA). This business history will trace the story of this important airline from its creation in 1930 from the ambitious but unprofitable Transcontinental Air Transport, formed by Clement Keys with technical assistance from Charles Lindbergh, and parts for the successful Western Air Express of Harris Hanshue through World War II and its reorganization as Trans World Airlines under Howard Hughes.

  • Pan Am's Historic Contributions to Aircraft Cabin Design
    German Aerospace Society, Hamburg Branch Hamburg Aerospace Lecture Series Dieter Scholz Pan Am's Historic Contributions to Aircraft Cabin Design Based on a Lecture Given by Matthias C. Hühne on 2017-05-18 at Hamburg University of Applied Sciences 2017-11-30 2 Abstract The report summarizes groundbreaking aircraft cabin developments at Pan American World Airways (Pan Am). The founder and chief executive Juan Terry Trippe (1899-1981) estab- lished Pan Am as the world's first truly global airline. With Trippe's determination, foresight, and strategic brilliance the company accomplished many pioneering firsts – many also in air- craft cabin design. In 1933 Pan Am approached the industrial designer Norman Bel Geddes (1893-1958). The idea was to create the interior design of the Martin M-130 flying boat by a specialized design firm. Noise absorption was optimized. Fresh air was brought to an agreea- ble temperature before it was pumped into the aircraft. Adjustable curtains at the windows made it possible to regulate the amount of light in the compartments. A compact galley was designed. The cabin layout optimized seating comfort and facilitated conversion to the night setting. The pre-war interior design of the Boeing 314 flying boat featured modern contours and colors. Meals were still prepared before flight and kept warm in the plane's galley. The innovative post-war land based Boeing 377 Stratocruiser had a pressurized cabin. The cabin was not divided anymore into compartments. Seats were reclining. The galley was well equipped. The jet age started at Pan Am with the DC-8 and the B707.

  • Once a Day”--Connie Smith (1964) Added to the National Registry: 2020 Essay by Barry Mazor (Guest Post)*
    “Once a Day”--Connie Smith (1964) Added to the National Registry: 2020 Essay by Barry Mazor (guest post)* Bill Anderson, Connie Smith and Bob Ferguson in the studio Just months before Connie Smith would step up to the microphone at RCA Records’ Music Row Studio B for her very first recording session, she was a virtually unknown Ohio housewife who’d performed at nearby fairs and on local television. Then, fatefully, at an August 1963 talent contest near Columbus, the contest judge proved to be recording star and country songwriting master Bill Anderson. He would note in his memoir, “None of us could believe such a big voice was coming out of such a petite lady.” He’d told her that if she ever came to Nashville to pursue a country career, he’d be there for her. It took her months to decide to give that a try. RCA’s Nashville label head, Chet Atkins, was impressed by her demo tapes, and when Anderson assured him that he’d have new songs for her that could help get her established, she was signed to the label and in the studio within three weeks. Constance June Meador Smith was 23 as her recording career began that day--July 16, 1964--a young wife and mother. The third song she recorded at that first session, Bill Anderson’s “Once a Day,” in which the singer tells us how the loss of a love to another can be devastating, and as a matter of fact, there’s no denying it has been, would become a country music phenomenon.

Coddington The Boeing 727-200 and 757-200 are both narrowbody aircraft designed for short- to medium-range flights carrying 164 to 214 passengers. Until recently, when overtaken by the Boeing 737, the 727-200 program was the most successful aircraft program in history. The 727 airplane has carried 2.3 billion passengers, equivalent to half the world's population (Sterling, 1992). More than half of all 727s sold were advanced 200s and as late as 1990 an incredible 50% of all U.S. passenger traffic had flown on 727-200s since the advanced model was launched in 1971.

WHEREAS, it is fitting that this General Assembly should recognize those gifted artists who have experienced great success in the world of country music; and WHEREAS, Constance June Meador, better known to her legions of fans as Connie Smith, was born August 14, 1941 , to parents Hobart and Wilma Meador in Elkhart, Indiana; she grew up in Ohio where she fell in love with country music listening to the Louvin brothers, George Jones, and Loretta Lynn on Grand Ole Opry broadcasts from Nashville, Tennessee; and WHEREAS, her love of singing was discovered in 1963 by singer-songwriter Bill Anderson. Connie was a housewife and mother with a four-month-old son in Warner, Ohio, when she and her husband went to see a country music show at Frontier Ranch near Columbus, Ohio. She was talked into entering a talent contest, which she won, enabling her to meet Bill, who invited her to sing on the Ernest Tubb Midnight Jamboree in March 1964. A few months later Bill invited her back to Nashville to record some demo records; and WHEREAS, in June 1964 Connie was signed to a contract with RCA Victor Records by Chet Atkins, who called her "the greatest girl singer he'd ever heard." She soon cut her very first recording entitled, "Once a Day," which would be a phenomenon in country music history.
