boats is an integral part of naval operations. Boats are used for many purposes including rescue at sea, boarding operations, embark- ing and disembarking personnel, transferring stores, harbour surveys, harbour defence, and support of diving operations. Modern naval boats must be powerful, fast and manoeuvrable, and require highly skilled crews to effectively accomplish these missions. Chapter 11 provides a description of small boats being used in the Canadian Navy, and outlines the procedures to be followed in their launch and recovery. The organization for rescue at sea is also described. Even in today’s Navy, the old service saying that “A ship is known by her boats” still applies. A smart boat and a seamanlike boat’s crew is a sign of a tight and well-led ship. 11.2 General Service Boats The following boats are used in the Canadian Navy. 11.2.1 Inflatable Rubber Boats (IRB) All small boats except the RIB PC and the Landing Craft Vehicle Personnel (LCVP) are categorized as IRBs. The RIB 540 and RIB 472 are classified as IRBs because they use outboard motors for propulsion. Figure 11.2-1 - Six-Man IRB 11-7 CHAPTER 11 Boats and Rescue a.

  • Field Trips Guide Book for Photographers Revised 2008 a Publication of the Northern Virginia Alliance of Camera Clubs
    Field Trips Guide Book for Photographers Revised 2008 A publication of the Northern Virginia Alliance of Camera Clubs Copyright 2008. All rights reserved. May not be reproduced or copied in any manner whatsoever. 1 Preface This field trips guide book has been written by Dave Carter and Ed Funk of the Northern Virginia Photographic Society, NVPS. Both are experienced and successful field trip organizers. Joseph Miller, NVPS, coordinated the printing and production of this guide book. In our view, field trips can provide an excellent opportunity for camera club members to find new subject matter to photograph, and perhaps even more important, to share with others the love of making pictures. Photography, after all, should be enjoyable. The pleasant experience of an outing together with other photographers in a picturesque setting can be stimulating as well as educational. It is difficullt to consistently arrange successful field trips, particularly if the club's membership is small. We hope this guide book will allow camera club members to become more active and involved in field trip activities. There are four camera clubs that make up the Northern Virginia Alliance of Camera Clubs McLean, Manassas-Warrenton, Northern Virginia and Vienna. All of these clubs are located within 45 minutes or less from each other. It is hoped that each club will be receptive to working together to plan and conduct field trip activities. There is an enormous amount of work to properly arrange and organize many field trips, and we encourage the field trips coordinator at each club to maintain close contact with the coordinators at the other clubs in the Alliance and to invite members of other clubs to join in the field trip.

  • A Study of Vehicle Structural Layouts in Post-WWII Aircraft
    A Study of Vehicle Structural Layouts in Post-WWII Aircraft Mark D. Sensmeier* Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, Prescott, Arizona, 86301 Jamshid A. Samareh† NASA Langley Research Center, Hampton, Virginia, 23681 In this paper, results of a study of structural layouts of post-WWII aircraft are presented. This study was undertaken to provide the background information necessary to determine typical layouts, design practices, and industry trends in aircraft structural design. Design decisions are often predicated not on performance-related criteria, but rather on such factors as manufacturability, maintenance access, and of course cost. For this reason, a thorough understanding of current “best practices” in the industry is required as an input for the design optimization process. To determine these best practices and industry trends, a large number of aircraft structural “cutaway” illustrations were analyzed for five different aircraft categories (commercial transport jets, business jets, combat jet aircraft, single- engine propeller aircraft, and twin-engine propeller aircraft). Several aspects of wing design and fuselage design characteristics are presented here for the commercial transport and combat aircraft categories. A great deal of commonality was observed for transport structure designs over a range of eras and manufacturers. A much higher degree of variability in structural designs was observed for the combat aircraft, though some discernable trends were observed as well. Nomenclature Frames = Circumferential fuselage structures which help maintain fuselage shape and prevent skin buckling Longerons = Lengthwise fuselage structures which carry bending loads Ribs = Chordwise wing structures which maintain wing shape, carry shear, and prevent skin buckling Spars = Spanwise wing structures which provide primary wing resistance to aerodynamic bending loads I.

  • Juneau Grand Banks Dory
    Photo Essay of How to Build a Juneau Grand Banks Dory Plans for this boat are available online at: http://www.spirainternational.com Building the Juneau Grand Banks Dory The Juneau, like all of the Spira International framed boats, is begun by building the ribs. These are laid out on a rib jig, then the rib members are cut from stock sized lumber and attached together. After the ribs are assembled they look something like this: Next, a strongback is built. This is simply a rigid beam used to keep the components of the boat aligned while they’re attached together. It also serves to raise the boat up to a comfortable working height. The ribs are then blocked up to their proper heights and temporarily fastened to the strongback. The keelson is added and attached to the ribs. This is the main longitudinal member of the boat. It ties the ribs together. The chine logs are added next. These form the joint where the sides and bottom meet and provides a watertight attachment surface. They also serve as a pattern to cut out the bottom once in-place. Next the sheer clamp members are added. These form the gunwale (upper edge of the boat sides.) The completed frame is then faired, that is, angled so that the sides and bottom of the ribs provide conforming surfaces so that the planking has the widest possible gluing area. The planking is then cut out by sitting the stock on the boat and tracing out the rough shape a bit oversized. This is then clamped in-place and trimmed to accurately fit the framework.

  • Construction & Maintenance
    Cub Clues #123 • July/August 2004 rear post. Also adjust the front post vertically into its mating bracket just aft of the trim jackscrew location, to allow a nice parallel clearance of about 1/2” across the top of the vertical fin rib and the rudder counterbalance rib. I would definitely check the rudder before doing this to make sure that the counterbalance lower rib forms a 90 degree angle with the rudder main spar tube. Once the vertical fin is jigged into position, drill the front attachment hole ONE SIDE AT A TIME, then install the bolt. Now, drill the front portion of the rear attachment hole, temporarily install the very tip of a bolt to keep the fin from dropping down, then remove the rudder frame, and finally drill the rear portion of the attachment hole installing the AN3-11A bolt from the back to front. This is done so the nut and the exposed threaded end of the bolt is hidden inside the fabric and won’t foul the rudder movement. Some of the very old models had the rear bolt mounted installed sideways, and made it very difficult to install the rear stabilizer cover plates or “kidney” plates due to the lump on both sides of the fabric. I would go ahead and drill a new hole about 1/2” above the old one in this case and install the bolt from back to front. Remember to use the rudder, again, as a locating fixture. All these tubes were mild steel and were relatively thin wall materials, so be CONSTRUCTION careful and use good sense when tightening the two mounting bolts so as not to crush the tubes at these areas.
