  • Flight Testing Simulations of the Wright 1902 Glider and 1903 Flyer
    FLIGHT TESTING SIMULATIONS OF THE WRIGHT 1902 GLIDER AND 1903 FLYER Ben Lawrence Gareth D Padfield Ph.D Research Student Professor of Aerospace Engineering Department of Engineering Department of Engineering University of Liverpool, UK University of Liverpool, UK [email protected] [email protected] ABSTRACT It was the Wright Brothers who successfully used the process and discipline of flight-test one hundred years ago. Annual flight test campaigns in the years 1900- 1905 clearly show how the Wright brothers used flight-testing to assess the performance, analyse the flight dynamics and propose improvements to their aircraft designs. This paper will present an analysis of the 1902 Glider first flight- tested in the fall of 1902 and the 1903 Flyer first flight-tested on December 17th 1903. Results will be taken from a research project underway at the University of Liverpool where the technical achievements of the Wright Brothers in the period 1900-1905 are being assessed using modern analytical and experimental methods. Results from piloted handling tests conducted on the Liverpool Flight Simulator, featuring six motion axes and six visual channels will be presented. The results show how the simulation trials were treated with a contemporary approach in terms setting handling qualities requirements and assessing the aircraft in a predefined ‘role’. Investigations have been made into the different types flown in 1902-1905 and variations on those, including some ‘what if’ configurations. One example is the critical innovation of 3-axis flight control, a direct result of flight-test. In conclusion the paper will present how the Wrights understood the importance of flight control and pilot skill and how both were developed through a controlled and systematic programme of flight-test.

(Rooms will be available from 1400 hrs) DELHI – It is a city that bridges two different worlds. Old Delhi, once the capital of Islamic India, is a labyrinth of narrow lanes lined with crumbling havelis and formidable mosques. In contrast, the imperial city of New Delhi created by the British Raj is composed of spacious, tree-lined avenues and imposing government buildings. Delhi has been the seat of power for several rulers and many empires for about a millennium. Many a times the city was built, destroyed and then rebuilt here. Interestingly, a number of Delhi’s rulers played a dual role, first as destroyers and then as creators. On arrival in Delhi, transfer to the hotel.

It was begun in 1644 and ended up being the final architectural extravagance of Shah Jahan, the Mughal emperor who built the Taj Mahal and the Red Fort. The highly decorative mosque has three great gates, four towers and two 40 m-high minarets constructed of strips of red sandstone and white marble.
