  • Nº 23 Maio 2018
    Ano IX - Nº 23 Maio 2018 Imagem desta Edição A imagem mostra um hidroavião britânico Short Type 184, utilizado na Primeira Guerra Mundial em operações de patrulha, bombardeio e lançamento de torpedos, tendo sido a primeira aeronave torpedeira a afundar um navio. Para as operações em Gallipoli em 1915, dois protótipos foram embarcados no HMS Ben-my-Chree. Pilotando um deles, Charles Edmonds fez história ao lançar o primeiro ataque aéreo com um torpedo a um navio mercante turco, que afundou embora já tivesse sido atingido pelo submarino britânico HMS E14. No entanto, cinco dias depois, em 17 de agosto, outro pilo- to a bordo de um Type 184 – o então tenente G B Dacre - foi obrigado a pousar por problemas no motor e, ao notar a aproximação de um rebocador turco taxiou na sua direção e lançou seu torpedo, afundando o reboca- dor. Sem o peso do torpedo, Dacre foi capaz de decolar seu avião e retornar ao Ben-My-Chree. Este avião também foi pilotado por brasileiros, servindo junto a RAF na base de Cattewater, localiza- da no sudoeste da Inglaterra, em missões de patrulha anti-submarinos, durante a Primeira Guerra Mundial.

  • Air Travel, Life-Style, Energy Use and Environmental Impact

Lyngby Denmark http://www.bvg.dtu.dk 2001 DISCLAIMER Portions of this document may be illegible in electronic image products. Images are produced from the best available original document Report BYG DTU R-021 2001 ISSN 1601-2917 ISBN 87-7877-076-9 Executive summary This summary describes the results of a Ph.D. study that was carried out in the Energy Planning Group, Department for Civil Engineering, Technical University of Denmark, in a three-year period starting in August 1998 and ending in September 2001. The project was funded by a research grant from the Danish Energy Research Programme. The overall aim of this project is to investigate the linkages between energy use, life style and environmental impact. As a case of study, this report investigates the future possibilities for reducing the growth in greenhouse gas emissions from commercial civil air transport, that is passenger air travel and airfreight. The reason for this choice of focus is that we found that commercial civil air transport may become a relatively large energy consumer and greenhouse gas emitter in the future. For example, according to different scenarios presented by Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), commercial civil air transport's fuel burn may grow by between 0,8 percent a factor of 1,6 and 16 between 1990 and 2050. The actual growth in fuel consumption will depend on the future growth in airborne passenger travel and freight and the improvement rate for the specific fuel efficiency.

Who were the people to first inhabit the northern and southern continents? Why did they come? How did they get here? How long was their migration? A possible narrative suggests that the movement of ancient people to the New World began when they crossed a land bridge that once existed between what we today call Siberia and Alaska, a bridge that later dis- appeared because of glacial melting and is now covered by water and known as the Bering Strait. It is also possible that these early people were motivated by wanderlust or the need for a new source of food. Perhaps they were searching for a better climate, and maybe they came for religious reasons, to escape persecution or find a more congenial area to practice their partic u lar beliefs.

This case involves the acquisition for the U.S. Army National Guard of a commercial aircraft converted to a military aircraft, the C-23B+, under a sole-source fixed-price contract. The finished product is quite the success; the C-23B+ is in service today, and some of the military aircraft are with our nation’s servicemembers in Iraq. The success did not come without cost. Defendant agreed to pay approximately $150 million for twenty-eight aircraft. Plaintiff sued in the United States Court of Federal Claims to recover cost overruns that, as of trial, plaintiff calculated at $58.9 million. Trial demonstrated that plaintiff, a sophisticated original manufacturer and maintenance provider of aircraft, undertook a major modification effort that it had never performed before, underestimated the effort that the scope of work required, grossly underestimated hours and costs, and was hobbled by its production subcontractor. For its part, the military underestimated the effort that the scope of work required and exhibited questionable candor concerning the risks and costs that plaintiff faced.
