  • Life and Times of Dinner
    Life & Times of Dinner Key Gateway to the Americas: The story of modern Miami is intertwined with visions of the city's potential as a link to places far away. Once upon a time, Miami itself was a place far away. One wag said: "If you own both Miami and Hell, live in Hell, and rent out Miami." But not everyone was as inclined to dismiss the place. Industrialist Henry Flagler, a Standard Oil partner of John D. Rockefeller's, saw potential in Aviation Cadets at Dinner Key (Courtesy: History Miami) connecting Southern Florida with points north, south, and east. He pushed his Florida East Coast Railroad down the Florida peninsula just before the turn of the 20th century. The first train entered Miami on April 13, 1896 - the tangible beginning of transportation links that would fuel Miami's future. Fifteen years after the first train, Miami saw its first plane - a Wright Brothers' exposition flight in 1911. The next year, aviation pioneer Glenn Curtiss opened a flying school. Miami was an excellent location for aviation - plenty of nice weather, and not a mountain in sight. With the coming of World War I, a sandy bit of dry land in Biscayne Bay known as Dinner Key became a focal point for naval aviation. Miamians regarded the small island - or key in the local parlance - as a nice place for a picnic, hence the name. The US Navy thought it would be a great place for a Naval Air Station. With some dredging and engineering, the island was converted to a peninsula, with room for hangars, shops, barracks and other accouterments necessary to the job of training aviators and mechanics.

  • ESTIMATING AIRLINE OPERATING COSTS Dal V. Maddalon NASA
    -----------------_._---_.- ... _..... _... _.. _ ..... _- ...... - ...... -- ..... __ ... _- ESTIMATING AIRLINE OPERATING COSTS Dal V. Maddalon NASA Langley Research Center SUMMARY A review has been made of the factors affecting commercial aircraft operating and delay costs. From this work, an airline operating cost model was developed which includes a method for estimating the labor and material costs of individual airframe maintenance systems. The model, similar in some respects to the standard Air Transport Association of America (ATA) Direct Operating Cost model, permits estimates of aircraft-related costs not now included in the standard ATA model (e.g., aircraft service, landing fees, flight attendants, and control fees). A study of the cost of aircraft delay was also made and a method for estimating the cost of certain types of airline delay is described. All costs are in 1976 dollars. INTRODUCTION In 1976, Americans spent over $17 billion to obtain air transportation services (ref. 1). Of this amount, the airlines used roughly $8 billion to purchase and operate their aircraft fleet. The introduction of aircraft which incorporate new technology to reduce these costs is fundamental to the long­ term health of the U.S. civil aviation industry. The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) has the primary governmental role in developing new civil aircraft technology and is therefore concerned with the cost of applying this technology to future airline fleets. Examples of such NASA work include studies of supercritical aerodynamics, composite materials, active controls, terminal configured vehicles, very large cargo transports, supersonic airplanes, and hydrogen-fueled aircraft. A prime means of determining the payoff from specific examples of innova­ tive research is to incorporate the technological ~dvance into a specific airplane configuration study and economically compete the advanced design against a conventional aircraft (e.g., ref.

Copyright and re-use policy See http://shura.shu.ac.uk/information.html Sheffield Hallam University Research Archive http://shura.shu.ac.uk British Imperial Policy and the Indian Air Route, 1918-1932 Teresa Crompton A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements of Sheffield Hallam University for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy January 2014 Abstract The thesis examines the development of the civil air route between Britain and India from 1918 to 1932. Although an Indian route had been pioneered before the First World War, after it ended, fourteen years would pass before the route was established on a permanent basis. The research provides an explanation for the late start and subsequent slow development of the India route. The overall finding is that progress was held back by a combination of interconnected factors operating in both Britain and the Persian Gulf region. These included economic, political, administrative, diplomatic, technological, and cultural factors. The arguments are developed through a methodology that focuses upon two key theoretical concepts which relate, firstly, to interwar civil aviation as part of a dimension of empire, and secondly, to the history of aviation as a new technology.

Bogash (www.rbogash.com/B314.html) In the world of man-made objects, be they antique cars, historic locomotives, steamships, religious symbols, or, in this case - beautiful airplanes, certain creations stand out. Whether due to perceived beauty, historical importance, or imagined romance, these products of man’s mind and hands have achieved a status above and beyond their peers. For me, the Lockheed Super Constellation is one such object. So is the Boeing 314 Flying Boat the Clipper, (when flown by Pan American Airways) - an Icon in the purest sense of the word. The B-314 was the largest, most luxurious, longest ranged commercial flying boat - built for, and operated by Pan Am. It literally spanned the world, crossing oceans and continents in a style still impressive today. From the late 1930’s through the Second World War, these sky giants set standard unequalled to this day. Arriving from San Francisco at her namesake city, the Honolulu Clipper disembarks her happy travelers at the Pearl City terminal.
