  • 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.

  • The Icon A5 Is the Closest Thing to a Flying Car You Can Buy Today. It
    50SKYSHADESImage not found or type unknown- aviation news THE ICON A5 IS THE CLOSEST THING TO A FLYING CAR YOU CAN BUY TODAY News / Manufacturer Image not found or type unknown It’s a $250,000 amphibious plane you can fold up and store in your garage. This past Tuesday a plane went down in New York’s Hudson River. © 2015-2021 50SKYSHADES.COM — Reproduction, copying, or redistribution for commercial purposes is prohibited. 1 The cops were called. Firefighters and emergency medical technicians arrived on the scene. But instead of a frantic group of passengers floating in a downed Airbus A320, like 2009’s Sully Sullenberger “Miracle on the Hudson” moment, officials encountered a delighted group of reporters gathered to test out the Icon A5, a small seaplane that was using the river to take off and land. Everything was going fine, but unknowing onlookers were not used to seeing planes flying so close to the river, so they'd called for help. Firefighters and cops, realizing nothing was amiss, stuck around to admire the spectacle. Indeed, the only potential damage at the event was what the Icon A5 will do to the $219 billion private aviation industry1. A view of the Jersey City skyline and the busy Hudson River during our NYC test flight. Photographer: Justin Ocean/Bloomberg “If I already have a float plane, why would I want this?” asked one fireman, whose son is currently learning to fly the more traditional seaplanes in flight school. He was snapping a smartphone pic of the 28-foot-long, white-and-red amphibious aircraft bobbing calmly at the dock.

  • Title of Design: Eapt: the Electronic Airport Planning Tool Design Challenge Addressed: Airport Management An
    Title of Design: eAPT: The Electronic Airport Planning Tool Design Challenge Addressed: Airport Management and Planning Team Member Names and Status: Marcus Peterson‐ Undergraduate Amanda Peterson ‐ Undergraduate Andrew Reinlieb‐ Undergraduate Stephen Tignor‐ Graduate Nathalie Vazquez‐ Graduate Michael Vincent‐ Graduate Hemali Virani‐ Graduate Advisor’s Names: Kelly Neville and Marty Lauth University Name: Embry‐Riddle Aeronautical University Executive Summary Planning large airport events such as air shows requires the coordination of a large amount of information across professionals from a wide range of areas. A single event can take months of planning on the part of airport staff and can require the use of information buried deep in technical documents. A program that allows planners to access and share information easily and intuitively has the potential to reduce planning time while providing a shared picture of an event to all members of a planning team. We propose eAPT, a map-based planning tool that combines airport pavement information with aircraft specifications to allow users to create and share airport event plans. Our team utilized human factors and systems engineering methods to elicit requirements from airport planning subject matter experts (SMEs) as well as other stakeholders involved in the planning of airport events. Human-computer interaction standards, guidelines and principals were then referenced in the design of the user interface and system architecture. eAPT is a program designed to give airport event planners a reliable and easy-to- use tool for assessing airport surfaces in order to plan aircraft movement and storage. eAPT is designed around SMART board technology to provide a collaborative planning environment for event planners.
