After looking at locations in Florida, Wilbur came to Montgomery, Alabama in February 1910 and decided to open the nation’s first civilian flying school on an old cotton plantation near Montgomery that subsequently become Maxwell Air Force Base (AFB).

    Administration of Barack Obama, 2012 Commencement Address at the United States Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs, Colorado May 23, 2012 The President. Thank you so much. Please be seated. Good morning, everybody! Audience members. Good morning! The President. It is wonderful to be at the United States Air Force Academy on such a spectacular day, and it is a privilege to join you in honoring the class of 2012. [Applause] I want to thank Secretary Donley for his introduction, but more importantly, for his leadership. Generals Gould, Clark, and Born; Academy faculty and staff; the Governor, Hickenlooper; Members of Congress; distinguished guests, ladies and gentlemen—I especially want to acknowledge a graduate of this Academy who has kept our Air Force strong through a time of great challenge, a leader I've relied on and for whom today is his final commencement as Chief of Staff, General Norton Schwartz. Norty, Suzie, we could not be prouder of you, and we are grateful for 39 years of extraordinary service to our Nation. And although he is not with us today, I'm proud to have nominated another Academy graduate, General Mark Welsh, as the next Chief of Staff. Now, this is my second visit to the Academy. I was here in the summer of 2008, and you were getting ready to head out to Jacks Valley. So I was proud to be here when you began this journey, and I thought I'd come back and help you celebrate at the end. [Laughter] It's great to be back at a school that has produced so many of the airmen I've known as President.

For the past several years, the Air Force has tried to retire its fleet of A-10s, Asuggesting that its other platforms, including newly-arriving F-35s, could assume the CAS mission from the venerable but aging Warthog. These more modern plat- forms armed with an array of high-tech weapons, Air Force officials often explained, could better achieve the desired CAS effects across any battlespace, including regions where enemy defenses might otherwise imperil the low, slow A-10.1 The service’s position met significant opposition, however, extending from the blogosphere to Summer 2017 | 17 Fino congressional chambers. Advocates for the A-10 countered that the relatively simple, battle-hardened Warthog brings irreplaceable capability and weapons effects to the battlefield, and at a fraction of the procurement and operating costs of the service- favored F-35.2 To prove their point, several A-10 proponents repeatedly called for a fly-off between the two platforms, but in August 2015 Air Force Chief of Staff Gen Mark Welsh quipped that such a test “would be a silly exercise.”3 Then in the sum- mer of 2016, Rep.

  • Vývoj Letectva Od Roku 1914 Do 1918
    Vývoj letectva od roku 1914 do 1918 Na začiatku 20. storočia došlo k výraznému pokroku vo vývoji lietadiel, vzducholodí a helikoptér. Keď 28. júla 1914 vypukla I. sv. vojna, tak armády Dohody a Trojspolku používali vo svojom bojovom arzenáli i tieto stroje. Vojnové konflikty urýchlili vývoj, výrobu a uplatnenie lietajúcich strojov, ktorým sa začalo venovať čím ďalej, tým viac ľudí a firiem, ktoré vznikali už počas I. sv. vojny. Caproni Ca.4 Bol to ťažký bombardér z I. sv. Vojny. Jeho konštruktérom bol Gianni Caproni. Bol to trojmotorový trojplošník drevenej konštrukcie, pokrytej tkaninou. Otvorené hlavné gondoly boli pripojené k spodnému a strednému krídlu. Lietadlo malo jeden tlačný motor a dva motory boli umiestnené v prednej časti trupu. Gondola bola určená pre pilota a strelca, pozorovateľa, ktorý bol v zadu za pilotom. Dvaja zadný strelci boli umiestnený po jednom v strede krídla. Výzbroj sa skladala zo štyroch alebo ôsmich guľometov Revelli 6,5 mm alebo 7,7 mm. Bomby boli uchytené na spodnom krídle. Firma Caproni vyvinula ešte ďalšie modely: Caproni Ca. 40, Caproni Ca. 42, Ca.43, Ca. 48, Ca 51, Ca 52, Ca. 58 a Ca. 59. Lietadlo Ca. 4 bolo testované v roku 1917 a do bojov zasiahli v roku 1918 na ciele Rakúsko – Uhorskej armády. Po vojne boli nahradené v Taliansku Ca. 36. I napriek jeho nestabilnému a krehkému vzhľadu Ca. 4 bol dobre navrhnutý. Na pohon použili motory Liberty, ktoré mu zabezpečovali dostatočnú rýchlosť s veľkou bombovou záťažou. Technické hodnoty lietadla Ca. 42 posádka : 4 osoby dĺžka : 13,1 m (43 ft) rozpätie : 29,9 m výška : 6,3 m nosná plocha : 200 m2 váha lietadla : 6700 kg (14 791 libier) vzletová váha : 7500 kg motor : 3x Liberty L12 s 298 kW max.
