Aerospace technology in its present form has developedalong certain basic principles of aerodynamic forces. Differentparts in an airplane have different functions to balance theaircraft in air, provide a thrust, and control the general mechanisms.Profusely illustrated descriptions provide a picture of whatkinds of aircraft are used for cargo, passenger travel, bombing, and supersonicflights. Propulsion principles and descriptions of differentkinds of engines are quite helpful. At the end of each chapter,new terminology is listed. The book is not available on the market andis to be used only in the Air Force ROTC program. (PS) SC AEROSPACE EDUCATION I U S DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH.

Lyngby Denmark http://www.bvg.dtu.dk 2001 DISCLAIMER Portions of this document may be illegible in electronic image products. Images are produced from the best available original document Report BYG DTU R-021 2001 ISSN 1601-2917 ISBN 87-7877-076-9 Executive summary This summary describes the results of a Ph.D. study that was carried out in the Energy Planning Group, Department for Civil Engineering, Technical University of Denmark, in a three-year period starting in August 1998 and ending in September 2001. The project was funded by a research grant from the Danish Energy Research Programme. The overall aim of this project is to investigate the linkages between energy use, life style and environmental impact. As a case of study, this report investigates the future possibilities for reducing the growth in greenhouse gas emissions from commercial civil air transport, that is passenger air travel and airfreight. The reason for this choice of focus is that we found that commercial civil air transport may become a relatively large energy consumer and greenhouse gas emitter in the future. For example, according to different scenarios presented by Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), commercial civil air transport's fuel burn may grow by between 0,8 percent a factor of 1,6 and 16 between 1990 and 2050. The actual growth in fuel consumption will depend on the future growth in airborne passenger travel and freight and the improvement rate for the specific fuel efficiency.

  • Mérignac Au Temps Des Hélices Histoire D'un Port Aérien
    1 Mérignac au temps des hélices 1910 - 1960 Histoire d’un port aérien 2 Maquette du projet Mothe Au milieu des années cin- quante, ce sont des bâti- ments provisoires en bois, construits après la Libéra- tion, qui accueillent les pas- sagers. Il faut une grande, et belle, aérogare pour Bordeaux. Le projet Mothe propose un ensemble intégré pour la totalité des bâtiments com- merciaux et techniques. A l’arrière-plan de cette ma- quette d’architecte, l’aéro- gare et son hall en avancée. Relié à celui-ci, à gauche, le bloc technique, avec la tour de contrôle. Au premier plan, un par- terre à la française entouré d’une allée engravillonnée en guise de parking automo- bile. En partie cachée sur la gauche, la centrale élec- trique. Deux garages, non visibles ici, abritent le parc automobile et les véhicules des pompiers. La construction s’est faite en conformité avec cette ma- quette, à l’exception du pe- tit bâtiment de deux étages à côté de la tour. Celui-ci a été prolongé pour accueillir le centre de contrôle régio- nal et le bureau central des télécommunications pré- cédemment placés dans le flux des réacteurs des avions Dassault en essai. L’aérogare Mothe est au- jourd’hui dissimulée et par- tiellement intégrée au ter- minal A. La tour de contrôle a été arasée à hauteur du 3ème étage.

  • Overwhelmed by Success: What Killed Douglas Aircraft
    Overwhelmed by Success: What Killed Douglas Aircraft Jonathan S. Leonard Haas School of Business University of California at Berkeley Adam Pilarski Avitas We thank Noam Yuchtman for his comments and Thomas Rhodes of Smith, Gambrell & Russell for his assistance. I. Introduction Despite the virtues of learning from other’s mistakes, students of business rarely find inspiration in the death of a company, even one as successful as Douglas Aircraft had been. Douglas dominated commercial aircraft manufacturing before WWII. In 1939, Douglas aircraft flew 90% of the world’s commercial airline traffic [U.S. Centennial of Flight Commission]. As in any post-mortem, we know how this story ends: Douglas was acquired by McDonnell Aircraft in 1967. We even know who pulled the trigger: Lazard Frères, acting on behalf of Douglas’ banks, triggered a liquidity event that forced Douglas’ sale. While the fall of the mighty is hardly unique, the path from 90% market share to sale of the company is not an obvious one. Most companies fail when customers do not buy their products. Douglas failed because customers did buy its products. Douglas fell with a successful innovative product, the DC-9, and an order backlog in excess of $3 billion and growing, enough work to keep its production lines humming for years. How can a company fail with a $3 billion book of unfilled orders? The answer involves both the alignment of Douglas ‘ strategy with the characteristics of the aircraft industry, and Douglas’ tactics as it operated in that industry. The first explanation is that at a technological discontinuity, Boeing enjoyed a first mover advantage into jets that Douglas and others never recovered from.

  • Dassault Mercure 100
    Was Sie schon immer mal wissen wollten – oder die letzten Geheimnisse der Luftfahrt Eine lose Folge von Dokumentationen vom Luftfahrtmuseum Hannover-Laatzen Stand Winter 2017 - Seite 1 Diese Dokumentationen werden Interessenten auf Wunsch zur Verfügung gestellt und erscheinen in einer losen Folge von Zeiträumen.Compiled and edited by Johannes Wehrmann 2017 Source of Details “Bredow-web.de”,“Das Flugzeug-Archiv”,FliegerWeb, Wikipedia Dassault Mercure 100 AIC = 3.311.226X.10.81 Die Mercure war ein Passagierflugzeug des französischen Herstellers Dassault Aviation. Die Planungen begannen Mitte der 60er Jahre und der Erstflug fand am 28. Mai 1971 statt. Die letzte Maschine wurde 1995 außer Dienst gestellt. Beschreibung Die Mercure war ein Gemeinschaftsprojekt von Dassault Aviation mit Fiat (Italien), CASA (Spanien), ADAP (Belgien), FW (Schweiz) und Canadair (Kanada), somit das erste wirklich international hergestellte Flugzeug. Man könnte es als einen indirekten Vorgänger der Airbusfamilie bezeichnen. Abgesehen von den genannten Partnern trug Dassault selbst 14 % und die französische Regierung 45 % der Entwicklungskosten. Die Endmontage fand bei Dassault in den eigens dafür neu gebau- ten Fabrikhangars in Istres, Südfrankreich, statt. Die Gesamtauslegung der Mercure erinnert stark an die Boeing 737, die ihren Erstflug im April 1967 hatte. Im Vergleich zur B737 hatte die Mercure einen 5 cm breiteren Rumpfdurchmesser und war etwas länger. Auch die Passagierkapazität war mit ca. 150 höher. Dennoch ist, in erster Linie durch die Verwendung und die gleiche Anordnung der zwei Pratt & Whitney JT8D-11 Turbofan-Triebwerken bei beiden Typen, das optische Erschei- nungsbild der Mercure und den ersten B737-Versionen fast gleich. Insgesamt wurden nur 10 Maschinen und ein Prototyp gebaut, die alle an Air Inter ausgeliefert wurden (auch der Prototyp wurde auf Wunsch von Air Inter nachträglich umgebaut und als Passagiermaschine eingesetzt).
