  • Mikes WW1 Aircraft Models FOKKER D.VII
    FOKKER D.VII Mikes WW1 Aircraft Models I have always held a fascination with early military aircraft. After serving for 27 years in the Royal Air Force, I became a Military Aerospace Technical Author. Although, as most modelers, I got involved in the world of construction kits at an early age, I stopped for most of my service career and for some years afterwards. I started modeling again a few years ago and now enjoy the challenge of building aircraft of World War One. Since posting photographs of my completed models online, several people have asked if I would create a ’build log’ for future builds. I don’t consider myself a ‘master’ of this craft, but hope to be able to pass on what I have learned. As such, here is the tenth build log, which covers my build of the Wingnut Wings 1:32 scale model of the Fokker D.VII (Albatros built) ‘Nickchen IV’, Serial No.817/18 operating with Jasta 53 during August 1918 and flown by Offizierstellvertreter Fritz Blumenthal.

  • Aerospace Structures- an Introduction to Fundamental Problems Purdue University
    2011 Aerospace Structures- an Introduction to Fundamental Problems Purdue University This is an introduction to aerospace structures. At the end of one semester, we will understand what we mean by the “structures job” and know the basic principles and technologies that are at the heart of aerospace structures design and analysis. This knowledge includes basic structural theories, how to choose materials and how to make fundamental design trades, make weight estimates and provide information for decisions involved in successful aerospace structural design and development.

The Wind Rises (2013) i Acknowledgements Firstly, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to my advisor Prof. Llu´ısGil for the continuous support during the making of my Bachelor's degree thesis, for his patience, motivation, and immense knowledge. His guidance has helped me in all the time of research and design, and also in the writing of this thesis. My most sincere thanks also goes to my team mate and friend, Roger Serra. He has selflessly dedicated his precious time to help me so many times, not only allowing me to reach the solution of my problems, but also making me have a great time with him. I also want to acknowledge my team mate Oriol Chandre for his great company at the Trencal`osTeam workshop, in which we both have spent several hours working on our thesis. He always being in a great mood and his energy have always motivated me and influenced me very positively. Lastly, my highest appreciation goes to my family and friends, without whom I would not be who I am today. Special thanks goes to my mom, as she has supported me wholeheartedly throughout the making of this thesis - both in the good and bad moments I have experienced.

  • Review – Junkers J-1 Steve Monroe
    MODEL REVIEW Junkers J.1, Eduard 1:72 scale Reviewed by Steve Monroe It is widely recognized that there have been tremendous advances in aviation technology during times of war. The most commonly cited example has always been World War II, when 1939 saw frontline use of the Bf-109E and the P- 40B, compared to six short years later when those respective services saw the Me-262 and P-80 in the front ranks. These were major technological leaps in a short period of time. In comparison, World War I is seen as the era of the wood, fabric and wire biplanes. To be sure, there was marked advances in tactics, and even in the decision about how airplanes were to be utilized as a weapon of war. But advances in technology? Not in The Great War, where 1913 started out with wood and fabric and closed five years later still in wood and fabric. Not so fast, grasshopper. True, it may look to us in this age of space shuttles like a biplane is just a biplane, but there were some major design elements developed during this first world war. Professor Hugo Junkers was an early pioneer in the design and construction of all metal aircraft, beginning with a number of one off designs built with thin iron sheets for skinning. The iron, of course, made for a heavy and impractical airplane. Professor Junkers and his design team turned to duraluminum to solve the weight problem, and were able to design a metal airplane that was light enough to have performance capabilities that made it a practical combat airplane.

  • History of Flight: a Timeline
    Contacts: Isabel Morales, Museum of Science and Industry, (773) 947-6003 Renee Mailhiot, Museum of Science and Industry, (773) 947-3133 HISTORY OF FLIGHT: A TIMELINE The Museum of Science and Industry, Chicago’s temporary exhibit Above and Beyond celebrates the history and future of flight, from the first hot air balloon ride to the creation of the spacecraft that will one day transport humans far beyond the Moon. At a multilayered digital touchscreen timeline in the exhibition, with over 100 historical events presented through rare archival footage, photos, and art, guests can retrace the innovators and innovations that have transformed the world through flight. HIGHER Hot Air Balloon (1783) Humans take flight! Two French adventurers float over Paris in a hot air balloon made by brothers Joseph-Michel and Jacques-Étienne Montgolfier. The passenger basket is attached to a paper-lined silk balloon, which rises when the air in it is heated. Gas Balloon (1783) French scientist Jacques Charles and engineer Nicholas Robert make the first flight with a gas balloon. The balloon contains hydrogen gas, which is lighter than air. Gas balloons become the preferred method of flight until airplanes come along. Observation Balloon (1794) The French Revolutionary Wars inspire a new purpose for balloons—to track enemies. Colonel Jean-Marie-Joseph Coutelle builds a hydrogen observation balloon for the French Army. Coutelle uses the balloon to report Austrian troop movements. Passenger Airship (1852) French engineer Jules Henri Giffard invents and flies the first steerable passenger airship, or dirigible. A large hydrogen balloon keeps the craft aloft, while a steam engine turns a propeller to drive it forward.
