True, this is not a military project but it still represents a historic aviation fi rst and a measure of confi dence in the aircraft. Yet, ironically, this symbol of national aerospace pride and achievement is also representative of today’s globalised economy – where the manufacturer integrates a number of different international suppliers. 32 Like Airbus and Boeing, who use the same suppliers, the key part is the high 20 value design, the integration and fi nal assembly.

Boarding the sky-train One way that the system could be used is that passengers could board one or more of the capsules in the same way that they would board a train. This boarding could either be at an airport or from a railway station and the passengers could be transported by rail as part of their journey. Once at the airport, the capsules would be fi tted beneath the Clip-Air which would carry them for the air part of the journey. The passengers could then remain in the capsule either for transfer to the airport or by rail to another station. As well as increasing effi ciency one other advantage from separating passenger pods from the fl ightdeck would be increased security. EPFL / TRANSP-OR / LIV ICOM AIR TRANSPORT Multi-modal air transport A research project conducted by Prof Michel Bierlaire at the Transport and Mobility Laboratory at the Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) in Switzerland, the modular Clip-Air is a fl ying wing fi tted with engines which can carry between and one to three tubular capsules containing passengers, freight or fuel. Each capsule would be around 30m long and weigh around 30t. Passenger capsules would be similar to an aircraft fuselage in that they would be pressurised. The aim is that the capsules can be also be used for other modes of transport, such as railways and transit systems without loading the passengers or cargo – saving time and money. 4 AEROSPACE / JUNE 2017 A phased approach While the 60m wingspan, three capsule modular transport is some 40-50 years away, Clip-Air researchers believe that a modular air transport system could be developed in a phased approach – starting with light aircraft or reduced scale mode, before moving on to a bizjet and then an A320-sized aircraft in 10-15 years.

  • 633 Squadron Battle of Britian
    P3 633 squadron Battle of Britain Dam Busters Music Cardboard wings (9 boys) Each boy comes in to hall in turn and a little about each plane is read out, then they all return together. During the second world war many young men where sent to fight in the skies over Britain and France in the RAF. It was due to their bravery skill and sacrifice that Germany never felt able to invade Britain. Here at Anchors we have been looking at some of the Aircraft which they flew, contrary to popular belief they weren’t all spitfires. Planes Fighters Miles M20 Emergency fighter, designed for quick production should the RAF have a shortage of fighters. The M-20 was an all-wood monoplane with fixed landing gear, using many parts of the Master trainer. It was designed and built in only 65 days and had good performance, but the R.A.F. did not need the M.20. Later the M.20 was considered as an expendable shipboard fighter. Farley Firefly Two-seat reconaissance fighter. It was a low-wing monoplane with a wide-track undercarriage, smaller than the Fulmar that preceded it, and provided with a more powerful engine. The design was deliberately conventional, to bring it into service quickly. Early Fireflies had a deep 'beard' radiator, later models had wing leading root intakes. The concept of the two-seat fighter may have been mistaken, but the Firefly was a versatile aircraft, taking part not only in WWII but also in the Korean war. The last of the 1702 built was delivered in 1956.

    THE WOMEN OF RED CLYDESIDE THE WOMEN OF RED CLYDESIDE: WOMEN MUNITIONS WORKERS IN THE WEST OF SCOTLAND DURING THE FIRST WORLD WAR By MYRA BAILLIE, B.A., M.A. A Thesis Submitted to the School ofGraduate Studies in Partial Fulfilment ofthe Requirements for the Degree Doctor ofPhilosophy McMaster University © Copyright by Myra Baillie, September 2002 DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY (2002) McMaster University (History) Hamilton, Ontario TITLE: The Women ofRed Clydeside: Women Munitions Workers in the West ofScotland during the First World War. AUTHOR: Myra Baillie, B.A., M.A. (McMaster University) SUPERVISOR: Professor R.A. Rempel NUMBER OF PAGES: x,320 11 ABSTRACT During World War One, the Clydeside region became one ofthe most important centres ofwar production in Britain. It also had one ofthe most volatile male workforces, earning it the reputation 'Red' Clydeside. Previous historical accounts have focussed on the skilled workers, debating the extent to which they were red-hot revolutionaries or narrow craft conservatives. To date, there has been no study ofthe region's large, capable, hard-working female workforce. This thesis traces the experience ofthe tens ofthousands ofwomen employed in the Clydeside munitions industry, paying particular attention to the working conditions in local factories. This thesis contributes to the long-standing historiographical arguments over the nature ofRed Clydeside by offering a new view ofthe dilution crisis which stands 11t the epicentre ofthe debate. It finds more cooperation between male and female munitions workers than has previously been recognized, and suggests that class confrontation, not craft conservatism, was at the root ofthe deportation ofthe shop steward leaders in March 1916.
