  • A Nation of Aviation Pioneers

    A Nation of Aviation Pioneers

    ICAO TIE-INS By Albert Pelsser Romania - A nation of aviation pioneers At the beginning of the 20th century, Romania was among the few nations in the world which brought essential contributions to aviation and flying because there were people who dedicated their life and work to fulfilling the human desire to fly and developing aviation. Among the most well-known inventors who contributed to the flight development by means of apparatuses heavier than the air, Traian Vuia, Aurel Vlaicu and Henri Coanda played a distinct role. In parallel to the above developments, schools of piloting were established and airships from other countries were purchased, with provision for specially designed workshops for the maintenance and repairing of aircraft. The first school of piloting was initiated by the Romanian lawyer Mihail Cerchez, after his return from Paris in the summer of 1909. It started its activity in the spring of 1910, on the field near Chitila, where the first aerodrome of the Romanian aviation was settled. Once the infrastructure for the construction and repair of the airships had been completed, Mihail Cerchez purchased four aircraft from France: two biplane Farman aircraft that were intended to carrying out the training flights of the future pilots, one Demoiselle aircraft and a Wright aircraft for the ground instruction. Second Lieutenants Ştefan Protopopescu and Gheorghe Negrescu were among the first six military pilots trained. Cerchez also obtained that the Farman aircraft be assembled in his workshops. Chitila’s infrastructure in 1911. Farman IV biplane. Having obtained their Pilot Licences in July 2011, Protopopescu and Negrescu, along with other pilots, participated in military maneuvers on Farmans in the fall of 1911 and carried out a series of raids to popularize aviation among youth and to maintain a high degree of readiness among pilots.

    Technical Details of the Elliott 152 and 153

    Appendix 1 Technical Details of the Elliott 152 and 153 Introduction The Elliott 152 computer was part of the Admiralty’s MRS5 (medium range system 5) naval gunnery project, described in Chap. 2. The Elliott 153 computer, also known as the D/F (direction-finding) computer, was built for GCHQ and the Admiralty as described in Chap. 3. The information in this appendix is intended to supplement the overall descriptions of the machines as given in Chaps. 2 and 3. A1.1 The Elliott 152 Work on the MRS5 contract at Borehamwood began in October 1946 and was essen- tially finished in 1950. Novel target-tracking radar was at the heart of the project, the radar being synchronized to the computer’s clock. In his enthusiasm for perfecting the radar technology, John Coales seems to have spent little time on what we would now call an overall systems design. When Harry Carpenter joined the staff of the Computing Division at Borehamwood on 1 January 1949, he recalls that nobody had yet defined the way in which the control program, running on the 152 computer, would interface with guns and radar. Furthermore, nobody yet appeared to be working on the computational algorithms necessary for three-dimensional trajectory predic- tion. As for the guns that the MRS5 system was intended to control, not even the basic ballistics parameters seemed to be known with any accuracy at Borehamwood [1, 2]. A1.1.1 Communication and Data-Rate The physical separation, between radar in the Borehamwood car park and digital computer in the laboratory, necessitated an interconnecting cable of about 150 m in length.
