Ceas Is Courageously Continuing Its Climb The Quarterly Bulletin of the COUNCIL OF EUROPEAN AEROSPACE SOCIETIES 3AF– AIAE– AIDAA– DGLR– FSAE– FTF– HAES– NVvL– RAeS– SVFW • GENERAL • AERONAUTICS • SPACE • Issue 1 – 2009 • March • Editorial CEAS IS COURAGEOUSLY CONTINUING ITS CLIMB In my observer’s position, I bear witness to the continuous and significant pro- gress accomplished within the space of two years only by the CEAS since the conversion of its statutes from Confederation into Council on 1st January 2007. As a matter of fact, it is more broadly known within Europe , it is admit- ted now by the main European institutions - EC, EASA, ASD, EDA, ESA - as an Association with which it is important to keep up close co-operation links, and it has clearly defined its objectives in the form of a “Deliverables’ List” which constitutes a sort of Charter. This is the result of the continuous work Jean-Pierre Sanfourche of its Management Board, firmly led successively by Sir Colin Terry, President Editor-in-Chief, 2007 then Georges Bridel, President 2008. These two Past-Presidents deserve CEAS Quarterly Bulletin our warmest appreciation. However, the CEAS is still far from having reached its cruise altitude! Will we be able to continue, or even accelerate, our climb? I believe the answer is "YES".

However, surprisingly, while we are full in course of the election campaign for the renewal of the European Parliament, we hear almost nothing about education and culture, and we see no proposals from the candidates on how to prepare the students and young professionals to live in an increasingly integrated Europe. The question is a very broad and difficult one, due to the large number of Member States and the diversity of languages and cultures; but this is all the more reason to concentrate great efforts on it. In the aerospace sector, the projects, more and more complex, are developed across several national borders and include the highest technologies. So, to overcome the Jean-Pierre Sanfourche numerous challenges which confront us in a fierce world-wide aerospace market, Editor-in-Chief, CEAS Quarterly Bulletin talented engineers are needed. Unfortunately, in the past two or three decades within Europe, there have been clear indications that the most brilliant students pre- fer careers in business and finance to those in science, technology and engineering. Action is clearly necessary to reverse this trend by taking the measures that will CONTENTS allow us to attract and then retain the best talent in the air and space activities.

  • 2021-03 Pearcey Newby and the Vulcan V2.Pdf
    Journal of Aeronautical History Paper 2021/03 Pearcey, Newby, and the Vulcan S C Liddle Vulcan to the Sky Trust ABSTRACT In 1955 flight testing of the prototype Avro Vulcan showed that the aircraft’s buffet boundary was unacceptably close to the design cruise condition. The Vulcan’s status as one of the two definitive carrier aircraft for Britain’s independent nuclear deterrent meant that a strong connection existed between the manufacturer and appropriate governmental research institutions, in this case the Royal Aircraft Establishment (RAE) and the National Physical Laboratory (NPL). A solution was rapidly implemented using an extended and drooped wing leading edge, designed and high-speed wind-tunnel tested by K W Newby of RAE, subsequently being fitted to the scaled test version of the Vulcan, the Avro 707A. Newby’s aerodynamic solution exploited a leading edge supersonic-expansion, isentropic compression* effect that was being investigated at the time by researchers at NPL, including H H Pearcey. The latter would come to be associated with this ‘peaky’ pressure distribution and would later credit the Vulcan implementation as a key validation of the concept, which would soon after be used to improve the cruise efficiency of early British jet transports such as the Trident, VC10, and BAC 1-11. In turn, these concepts were exploited further in the Hawker-Siddeley design for the A300B, ultimately the basis of Britain’s status as the centre of excellence for wing design in Airbus.

  • Handley Page, Lachmann, Flow Control and Future Civil Aircraft
    Handley Page, Lachmann, flow control and future civil aircraft John Green ABSTRACT Frederick Handley Page and Gustav Lachmann independently developed and patented the concept of the slotted wing as a means of increasing maximum lift. Subsequently they co-operated on the project and Lachmann joined Handley Page Ltd. The Handley Page slotted wing became used worldwide, generating substantial income for the company from use of the patent, and its descendents can be found on all modern transport aircraft. In the years following World War II, Lachmann led research at Handley Page to reduce drag by keeping the boundary layer laminar by surface suction. Handley Page led this field in the UK and developed a number of aircraft concepts, none of which came to fruition as full scale projects. However, looking to the future, the basic concept of laminar flow control holds out arguably the greatest potential of all technologies for reducing the fuel burn and environmental impact of future civil aircraft. 1. INTRODUCTION This is the story of two men of genius, Frederick Handley Page and Gustav Lachmann, Figs. 1 and 2. They were brought together by chance, as a result of having independently, and unknown to each other, invented and patented the same aerodynamic concept. During World War I they had been on opposite sides. Handley Page, who had been 28 at the outbreak of hostilities, established his company’s reputation as the designer of the large biplane bombers, the ‘bloody paralysers’ sought by the Royal Navy in 1914, that made a great contribution to the war effort in 1917 and 1918.
