Gordon, BS Captain, USAF September 2006 APPROVED FOR PUBLIC RELEASE; DISTRIBUTION UNLIMITED. AFIT/GAE/ENY06-S04 GAE 06S Abstract Dynamic soaring is a unique flying technique designed to allow air vehicles to extract energy from horizontal wind shears. Dynamic soaring has been used by seabirds like the Albatross to fly hundreds of kilometers a day across the ocean. Small hobby radio controlled sailplanes have also used this technique to achieve sustained speeds of over 200 miles per hour from just a simple hand toss. Dynamic soaring, however, has never before been studied for use on full size aircraft. The primary goal of this research was to prove or disprove the viability of dynamic soaring for enhancing a full size aircraft’s total energy by using a manned sailplane as a demonstration air vehicle.

I learned to fly at Crazy Creek Soar- Pilots ing, in Middletown, CA. I’ve been flying gliders a little over 2 years, and earned my private certificate in October, 2001. The process Doris Grove: of learning to fly and soar has been one of the best experiences of my life! “I don’t teach men to fly” In 1983, while watching a hang gliding national competition in Dunlap, CA, the power and grace of silent flight captured my imagina- “The first 1000 km flight” tion and interest. I enrolled in Chandelle SF’s training program, and a year later, was a rated hang glider pilot flying the Sierra. Soon after, I met my partner in life, Wally Anderson, who now owns and operates Merlin Flight School, a paragliding school in the SF Bay area. About 10 years ago, I learned to fly paragliders, so now have the choice of 3 types of soaring flight to participate in. Last Page 8 summer I bought a Pegasus, and have been doing most of my flying in it. She is a sweet flying glider, known as 5 Fox.

    The Soaring Pilot

    PORTING GLIDING has developed Ofar since its simple beginnings in 1922. Now the World's records stand at 540 miles distance, 42,000 feet altitude, and 60 m.p.h. average speed. The gliders themselves are fine ex­ amples of superb design and workman­ ship, and the technique of using them a combination of individual initiative and scientific knowledge. The authors have taken a foremost part in the development of British glid­ ing, and this book is the result of many years close co-operation in operating gliders, including expeditions all over Europe which they have made together. Its object is to discuss the modern glider and the technique of using it. They show how this fascinating sport still gives opportunities for great experiment and new ideas. That this is possible to-day at a price which the ordinary person can afford gives gliding a charm which is now irrevocably lost in those other sports which have reached stagnation point in their development. Ann Welch, one of the authors of this book, has already published, under the name A. C. Douglas, Cloud Reading for Pilots which is in its 3rd printing and Gliding and Advanced Soaring.

  • Accidents Happen

    Accidents Happen

    ANTICIPATION • AVOIDANCE • SURVIVAL ACCIDENTS HAPPEN ANN WELCH Why do light aeroplane pilots fly clouds stuffed with mountains? Whai causes balloonists to sever high-voltage power cables? How has a yachtsman had his bowsprit run over by a train? According to Ann Welch errors such as these - some­ times resulting in fatalities - cannot be attri­ buted only to carelessness, misapprehension or poor memory; the reason lies deeper. At a time when opportunities for involvement in sports such as diving, flying, mountain­ eering and sailing are at their greatest, we risk becoming less capable of doing them safely or competently through lack of prac­ tice in being responsible for ourselves. The problems of confusions and mistakes which can arise in leisure activities using sophisticated equipment, such as gliders or scuba gear, are examined. The author goes on to discuss many related aspects ranging from the effects of poor equipment design in light aeroplanes to the disorientating consequences of alien environments, for ex­ ample being trapped under water or lost in fog. As a sailor, a highly qualified aeroplane pilot and experienced gliding instructor, Ann Welch lays particular emphasis on the role of the instructor as a maker of safety or potential disaster, and on the importance of clear communication. Numerous true stories - some ludicrous, others hair-raising - illustrate not only what sort of predicaments ordinary, sensible human beings can so easily become invol­ ved in, but how such situations develop and how people can overcome them.

    The Lilienthal Gliding Medal

    The Lilienthal Gliding Medal To reward a particularly remarkable performance in gliding, or eminent services to the sport of gliding over a long period of time, the FAI created this medal in 1938. It may be awarded annually to a glider pilot who has : - established an international record during the past year ; or made a pioneer flight (defined as a flight which has opened new possibilities for gliding and/or gliding techniques) ; or rendered eminent service to the sport of gliding over a significant period of time, and is still an active glider pilot.

    75 Jahre E.Indd

    1 History has Future In August 1994, I thought the world ought to come to a standstill, though I soon found out that it continued to revolve merciless. And that was good, we needed to shape the future of our enterprise and preserve its legacy. The support of our employees, my sons and of many friends gave me the essential assistance needed to continue the enterprise after the sad loss of my dear husband. This year we celebrate the 75th anniversary; looking back at a time of tradition and power, closely connected to the names Wolf Hirth, Martin Schempp and Klaus Holighaus. And today, continuously striving towards new developments; a young team, led by my son Tilo, is successfully developing the ideals of the preceding two generations. This gives me confidence, and I am grateful for the solidarity I experience again and again from our employees, our customers and especially from my family.
