First, is that both JFK and LHR are airports where there is little to no slack in their operational capacity.

Varying the amount of bleed air from this slot vectors the thrust line and gives pitch control. Roll control Slots in the trailing edge of the wing provides wing circulation control with bleed air from the engine being blown through at supersonic speeds. AEROSPACE BAE trials flapless flight BAE Systems has revealed that it in conjunction with University of Manchester researchers has flown a jet-powered sub-scale UAV demonstrator – MAGMA – designed to investigate flight without moving control surfaces. The UAV, a follow up to the earlier DEMON UAV, uses wing circulation control and fluidic thrust vectoring instead of conventional control surfaces. As well as the benefits of simpler maintenance and lighter weight for conventional aircraft, flow control may also have important applications for ultra-low observable air vehicles. 4 AEROSPACE / FEBRUARY 2018 Specifications Wingspan: 4m Weight: (without flow control) 40kg Weight (with flow control) 45kg Engine: Hawk 240N gas turbine Flight tests MAGMA has already been flown in flight tests in Wales using conventional moving controls. The next stage will see wing circulation control and fluidic thrust vectoring utilised, with the aim of seeing if all moving controls and even tailfins can be removed completely. A novel testbed As well as flapless flight, University of Man- chester researchers see the potential to use MAGMA to test other novel technologies and materials, including in situ health monitoring of composite structures and leading edge tubercles for improved high angle of attack stability and performance. @aerosociety i Find us on LinkedIn f Find us on Facebook www.aerosociety.com FEBRUARY 2018 5 Radome GENERAL AVIATION SPACEFLIGHT Aerion teams up with Mystery over secret Lockheed Martin on SSBJ satellite launch failure A SpaceX launch of a booster.

  • Design of Seaplanes
    APPENDIX C3: Design of Seaplanes This appendix is a part of the book General Aviation Aircraft Design: Applied Methods and Procedures by Snorri Gudmundsson, published by Elsevier, Inc. The book is available through various bookstores and online retailers, such as www.elsevier.com, www.amazon.com, and many others. The purpose of the appendices denoted by C1 through C5 is to provide additional information on the design of selected aircraft configurations, beyond what is possible in the main part of Chapter 4, Aircraft Conceptual Layout. Some of the information is intended for the novice engineer, but other is advanced and well beyond what is possible to present in undergraduate design classes. This way, the appendices can serve as a refresher material for the experienced aircraft designer, while introducing new material to the student. Additionally, many helpful design philosophies are presented in the text. Since this appendix is offered online rather than in the actual book, it is possible to revise it regularly and both add to the information and new types of aircraft. The following appendices are offered: C1 – Design of Conventional Aircraft C2 – Design of Canard Aircraft C3 – Design of Seaplanes (this appendix) C4 – Design of Sailplanes C5 – Design of Unusual Configurations Figure C3-1: A Lake LA-250 Renegade, shown here during climb after T-O, is a popular option for amphibious aircraft. The large deflected flap on the horizontal tail is a hydraulically actuated trim tab used for slow speed operations only. It trims out the thrust effect of the highly mounted piston-propeller, improving its handling.
