    Beautiful. Timeless. Still Available... Resident Spotlight: Robert N. Hartzell The Hartzell Propeller Company began in the 1860s in Greenville, Ohio when John T. Hartzell borrowed $25 to begin a lightning rod company. By 1875 John turned his business into the The Hartzell Farm Wagon Company and in the 1880s, son George W. Hartzell joined the lumber supply and wagon manufacturing business and renamed the company George W. Hartzell Company. By the early 1900s, the company moved its location to Piqua, Ohio. In 1917, George's son Robert owned a small airplane and dreamed of being a barnstormer. His father encouraged him to focus his efforts on airplane repair and rebuilding. He soon discovered a high failure rate with wood propellers. Robert's friend Orville Wright suggested that the company use its walnut wood to manufacture airplane propellers. This marked the beginning of the Hartzell Walnut Propeller Company. During WWI, Hartzell provided Liberty aircraft propellers for warplanes. In 1923, Hartzell built its first airplane primarily out of plywood - the FC1. It won first place in its class at the International Air Races in St. Louis, MO. Hartzell then built a second all-wood plane, the FC2, which won even more prizes, money and notoriety for the company. In 1926, Hartzell installed wood propellers on the Aeronca C-2 aircraft and then manufactured propellers for the USS Shenandoah, the first ridged airship. In 1933, Robert became the sole owner of Hartzell Industries and the Hartzell Propeller Company after the death of his father, George. In the late 1930s, Hartzel began the manufacture of metal blades for the Hamilton Standard and Curtiss companies.

    BEECH D18S/ D18C & RCAF EXPEDITER Mk.3 (Built at Wichita, Kansas Between 1945 and 1957)

    Last updated 10 March 2021 BEECH 18 PRODUCTION LIST Compiled by Geoff Goodall PART 2: BEECH D18S/ D18C & RCAF EXPEDITER Mk.3 (Built at Wichita, Kansas between 1945 and 1957) Beech D18S VH-FIE (A-808) flown by owner Rod Lovell at Mangalore, Victoria in April 1984. Photo by Geoff Goodall The D18S was the first new commercial Beechcraft model at the end of World War II. It began a production run of 1,800 Beech 18 variants for the post-war market (D18S, D18C, E18S, G18S, H18), all built by Beech Aircraft Company at their Wichita Kansas plant. The “S” suffix indicated it was powered by the reliable 450hp P&W Wasp Junior series. The first D18S c/n A-1 was first flown in October 1945 at Beech field, Wichita. On 5 December 1945 the D18S received CAA Approved Type Certificate No.757, the first to be issued to any post-war aircraft. The first delivery of a new model D18S to a customer departed Wichita the following day. From 1947 the D18C model was available as an executive version with more powerful 525hp Continental R-9A radials, also offered as the D18C-T passenger transport approved by CAA for feeder airlines. Beech assigned c/n prefix "A-" to D18S production, and "AA-" to the small number of D18Cs. Total production of the D18S, D18C and Canadian Expediter Mk.3 models was 1,035 aircraft.

    Bankruptcy Tilts Playing Field Frank Boroch, CFA 212 272-6335 [email protected]

    Equity Research Airlines / Rated: Market Underweight September 15, 2005 Research Analyst(s): David Strine 212 272-7869 [email protected] Bankruptcy tilts playing field Frank Boroch, CFA 212 272-6335 [email protected] Key Points *** TWIN BANKRUPTCY FILINGS TILT PLAYING FIELD. NWAC and DAL filed for Chapter 11 protection yesterday, becoming the 20 and 21st airlines to do so since 2000. Now with 47% of industry capacity in bankruptcy, the playing field looks set to become even more lopsided pressuring non-bankrupt legacies to lower costs further and low cost carriers to reassess their shrinking CASM advantage. *** CAPACITY PULLBACK. Over the past 20 years, bankrupt carriers decreased capacity by 5-10% on avg in the year following their filing. If we assume DAL and NWAC shrink by 7.5% (the midpoint) in '06, our domestic industry ASM forecast goes from +2% y/y to flat, which could potentially be favorable for airline pricing (yields). *** NWAC AND DAL INTIMATE CAPACITY RESTRAINT. After their filing yesterday, NWAC's CEO indicated 4Q:05 capacity could decline 5-6% y/y, while Delta announced plans to accelerate its fleet simplification plan, removing four aircraft types by the end of 2006. *** BIGGEST BENEFICIARIES LIKELY TO BE LOW COST CARRIERS. NWAC and DAL account for roughly 26% of domestic capacity, which, if trimmed by 7.5% equates to a 2% pt reduction in industry capacity. We believe LCC-heavy routes are likely to see a disproportionate benefit from potential reductions at DAL and NWAC, with AAI, AWA, and JBLU in particular having an easier path for growth.
  • The Reims Air Races

    The Reims Air Races

    Reims Air races and the Gordon Bennett Trophy Bleriot's cross-Channel flight excited Europe as nothing else had. The City of Reims and the French vintners of the Champagne region decided to sponsor a week of aviation exhibition and competition, putting up large purses in prize money, the most prestigious being the International Aviation Cup, known as the Gordon Bennett Trophy, after its sponsor, James Gordon Bennett, the flamboyant American publisher of the New York Herald and the Paris Herald. The meet attracted the cream of European society, from royalty and generals to ambassadors and the merely wealthy, to the Betheny Plain outside Reims from August 22 to 29, 1909. While there were to be many other such meets before and after World War 1, none would match Reims for grandeur and elegance or for sheer excitement. The major European manufacturers, all French, entered various events. There were 'planes by Bleriot, Voisin, Antoinette, and Farman, and even several French-built Wrights. The Wrights themselves had passed on an invitation to race at Reims, which was awkward since the Gordon Bennett Trophy was crowned with a large replica of a Wright Flyer. The Aero Club of America, which had sponsored the Scientific American trophy won by Curtiss a year earlier, turned to Curtiss. Curtiss' June Bug was not as well developed a plane as the Wright machines (and possibly the Wrights were hoping to drive this point home if Curtiss failed at Reims) and while it was more maneuverable than the European planes, it was not nearly as fast. 1909 Voisin 1 Curtiss worked feverishly to produce a more powerful engine and stripped down his airplane to give it greater speed.

    Celebrate National Aviation History Month AVIATION FUN FACTS! Celebrate National Aviation History Month Aviation Fun Facts brought to you by Releasing on Blu-ray™, DVD & Digital HD on November 19 November is Aviation History Month, making it a great time to let your children’s imagination take wing, and introduce them to the exhilarating world of flight. Over the years, aviation has given us tremendously influential role models, from the Wright Brothers to Charles Lindbergh and Amelia Earhart, who challenged herself to become the first female pilot to fly around the globe. Much later there were early astronauts like Neil Armstrong who would never have landed on the moon if it weren’t for the pioneering science of aviation. Aviators have always shown us no matter how high our dreams, with imagination, hard work and perseverance, almost anything we dream can become possible. Below are some Aviation Fun Facts to celebrate National Aviation History Month: National Aviation Day, August 19, is a United States national observation that celebrates the history and development of aviation. It was established in 1939 by Franklin Delano Roosevelt, who issued a presidential proclamation which designated the anniversary of Orville Wright’s birthday to be National Aviation Day. The National Aviation Hall of Fame was founded in 1962 and is located in Dayton, Ohio, the home of the Wright Brothers and the “birthplace of aviation.” The Wright Brothers decided who would make the historic first power, controlled manned flight with the flip of a coin. Wilbur Wright actually won the toss and made his first attempt on December 14, 1903.
