Free Flight Vol Libre
3/96 Jun/Jul free flight • vol libre Liaison CANDIDATE WANTED SAC representative to the board of the Aero Club of Canada • Lives in SW Ontario to minimize travel cost for SAC • Wants to pitch in and contribute to the wellbeing of our sport by representing the views of SAC to the other air sports • Reports to the board of SAC Very, very low wages but high perceived value Apply by contacting the National office (fax, mail, phone, Internet, carrier pigeon, etc) Approximately 130 SAC members are currently on the Internet. If you just recently got hooked, please let the office know your address as we plan to use this cost–efficient route more and more. SAC now has its very own web home page ( http://www.pubnix.net/~rmacpher/sac.html ). This net address is temporary and we are routing email through the Carleton freenet. It will be easier for our staff to manage this communication channel when we get a permanent SAC address. We are getting soaked! All of us by various governments, but in eastern Canada at least by Mother Nature. This probably explains why few clubs have sent in the membership fees. Remem- ber, the insurance requires that you be a registered member to be insured, be it your own glider or a club ship! If you have any doubt, ask your treasurer first if your SAC membership has been sent to the National office. On the topic of rainy weather, how would you feel if you had spent serious money to practise at the site of the 1997 World’s and experienced the worst weather that area has seen in 18 years. -

Optimal Dynamic Soaring for Full Size Sailplanes
OPTIMAL DYNAMIC SOARING FOR FULL SIZE SAILPLANES THESIS Randel J. Gordon, Captain, USAF AFIT/GAE/ENY06-S04 GAE 06S DEPARTMENT OF THE AIR FORCE AIR UNIVERSITY AIR FORCE INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio APPROVED FOR PUBLIC RELEASE; DISTRIBUTION UNLIMITED The views expressed in this thesis are those of the author and do not reflect the official policy or position of the United States Air Force, Department of Defense, or the United States Government. AFIT/GAE/ENY06-S04 GAE 06S OPTIMAL DYNAMIC SOARING FOR FULL SIZE SAILPLANES THESIS Presented to the Faculty Department of Aeronautical and Astronautical Engineering Graduate School of Engineering and Management Air Force Institute of Technology Air University Air Education and Training Command In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Science in Aeronautical Engineering Randel J. Gordon, BS Captain, USAF September 2006 APPROVED FOR PUBLIC RELEASE; DISTRIBUTION UNLIMITED. AFIT/GAE/ENY06-S04 GAE 06S Abstract Dynamic soaring is a unique flying technique designed to allow air vehicles to extract energy from horizontal wind shears. Dynamic soaring has been used by seabirds like the Albatross to fly hundreds of kilometers a day across the ocean. Small hobby radio controlled sailplanes have also used this technique to achieve sustained speeds of over 200 miles per hour from just a simple hand toss. Dynamic soaring, however, has never before been studied for use on full size aircraft. The primary goal of this research was to prove or disprove the viability of dynamic soaring for enhancing a full size aircraft’s total energy by using a manned sailplane as a demonstration air vehicle. -
Free Flight Vol Libre
3/02 Jun/Jul free flight • vol libre Priorities Air Cadets I would like to start this column by offering greetings to the cadets enrolled in the 2002 Air Cadet Gliding Scholarship Training Course who are receiving this issue of free flight. Free flight is published by the Soaring Association of Canada (SAC), a volunteer organization dedicated to promoting the sport of soaring in Canada. Virtually all soaring in Canada, outside of the Air Cadets, takes place at SAC clubs. In a typical SAC club, more emphasis is placed on post-licence flying than on flight training and issuing licences. Most clubs have modern composite single seat sailplanes available for their members. Pilots are encouraged to soar, to fly cross-country and pursue FAI badges. There are a couple of programs that SAC offers to assist Air Cadets who are interested in flying with a SAC club. SAC sponsors a number of continuing flying scholarships through the Air Cadet League. SAC membership is free for any active cadet who joins a SAC club. Cadets interested in finding out more about SAC and soaring as it is practised at SAC clubs, can look at our website <http://www.sac.ca>. There you will find a list of clubs and their locations, back issues of free flight in electronic format that you can download, and other soaring-related pages. There is also some good information on <http://edmc.net/ soar/cadets/>. SAC members who wish to learn more about the Air Cadet League of Canada can visit their website at <http://www.aircadetleague.com>. -
The History of Lasham Airfield
GLIDING HERITAGE CENTRE A HISTORY OF LASHAM AIRFIELD Author Glyn Bradney Description Lasham airfield in WW2 and how it became a major gliding centre Date 28th April 2015, version 1.) INTRODUCTION The articles I’ve written for the Gliding Heritage Centre website to-date have been intended to fulfil the educational remit that the GHC has through being a registered charity. Given that the GHC is based at Lasham, which is one of the very largest gliding organisations in the world, it seems appropriate that I should write something on the history of Lasham itself. However, I’m not going to go into huge detail in covering every single one of the airfield’s many facets, there are other sources which I will reference should the reader really wish to “dig deep” into its evolution and past in particular areas. ("Lasham Airfield" by fr:Utilisateur:Steff - Personal picture ex Wikipedia, taken during a London Stansted-Dinard flight, May 2006, looking SE. Lasham village is at “3 o’clock”, the ATC maintenance facility at “5 o’clock”.) Lasham airfield, pronounced as “Lash-am” throughout the gliding world, was built by McAlpines in 1941/1942 using Irish labourers and Italian prisoners of war. The usual airfield naming convention was used, namely that of the nearest significant habitation, in this case Lasham village. The history of Lasham village itself goes back a long way. It’s recorded in the Doomsday All rights Reserved | The Gliding Heritage Centre, Lasham Airfield, Alton, Hampshire, GU34 5SS| GLIDING HERITAGE CENTRE book of 1086 as being of “2 ½ hides”, at that time called “”Esseham”. -

~GC 'News No SS Suidider 1:985 President: C
~GC 'News No SS SUIDIDer 1:985 President: C. Wills Hon. Secretary: R. Traves Hon. Treasurer: K. Crack Rally Secretary: G. Moore Sales Manager: P. Woodcock Archivist: Sally Shepard V.G.C. News No.55 SUMMER 1985 EDITORIAL The long winter gave way to a wet spring. Those of our gliders which were lucky enough to have had winter storage were brought out only to have their woodfs moisture content topped up by deluges of rain. In Britain, one thinks that if only we can get through to March, then the winter will have passed. But to have had to wait until mid May before anything resembling a soaring day should occur••• is a long wait indeed. The Spring was livened up for the President by him being invited to give an account of the "objects and state of the VGC" before the Conference International de Vol a Voile (C.I.V.V.) in Paris on the 21st March. In spite of being fully aware that he was in the presence of such great pilots as Hans Nietlispach, Edward Makula, etc., etc., who had flown our vintage gliders rather further and better than some of us are ever likely to fly them, C. Wills, being finally invited by Bill Ivans, the President, to speak, was able to give an account which appeared to be received like a breath of fresh air. Unfortunately, the VGC's International events could not be accepted by the FAI for inclusion in their annual calendars, as the VGC is not one of their members. However, it has now become clear that our International events and their locations can be submitted to them for inclusion in their calendars, providing they are sent in by National Aero Clubs, in whose countries our events are to be held, which are members of the FAI.
