  • Efficient Light Aircraft Design – Options from Gliding
    Efficient Light Aircraft Design – Options from Gliding Howard Torode Member of General Aviation Group and Chairman BGA Technical Committee Presentation Aims • Recognise the convergence of interest between ultra-lights and sailplanes • Draw on experiences of sailplane designers in pursuit of higher aerodynamic performance. • Review several feature of current sailplanes that might be of wider use. • Review the future for the recreational aeroplane. Lift occurs in localised areas A glider needs efficiency and manoeuvrability Drag contributions for a glider Drag at low speed dominated by Induced drag (due to lift) Drag at high ASW-27 speeds Glider (total) drag polar dominated by profile drag & skin friction So what are the configuration parameters? - Low profile drag: Wing section design is key - Low skin friction: maximise laminar areas - Low induced drag – higher efficiencies demand greater spans, span efficiency and Aspect Ratio - Low parasitic drag – reduce excrescences such as: undercarriage, discontinuities of line and no leaks/gaps. - Low trim drag – small tails with efficient surface coupled with low stability for frequent speed changing. - Wide load carrying capacity in terms of pilot weight and water ballast Progress in aerodynamic efficiency 1933 - 2010 1957: Phoenix (16m) 1971: Nimbus 2 (20.3m) 2003: Eta (30.8m) 2010: Concordia (28m) 1937: Wiehe (18m) Wooden gliders Metal gliders Composite gliders In praise of Aspect Ratio • Basic drag equation in in non-dimensional, coefficient terms: • For an aircraft of a given scale, aspect ratio is the single overall configuration parameter that has direct leverage on performance. Induced drag - the primary contribution to drag at low speed, is inversely proportional to aspect ratio • An efficient wing is a key driver in optimising favourable design trades in other aspects of performance such as wing loading and cruise performance.

  • 2007 Chapter Officers
    OUR ROOTS: AEROBATICS IN THE ‘60’s With the onset of cold weather and the lack of chapter news, I will take liberties with this installment to share some of our heritage. I first participated in formal aerobatic competition in 1968. At that time US competition was sanctioned by the ACA (Aerobatic Club of America) and was divided into three competition categories: Primary, Advanced and Unlimited. After three wins, Primary contestants were required to move up. In 1968 I was married with two boys and earning a whopping $820 a month as a chemistry instructor. I competed that year in Primary with a stock 65 hp J3 Cub. The ’68 Primary sequence was well designed and accommodated good energy management: Spin Loop Immelman 45 down snap Half Cuban Barrel Roll Hammerhead Slow Roll Reverse Half Cuban Four Point Roll Those of us without inverted fuel often experienced loss of power during the Immelman and appreciated the subsequent 45 down line in order to restart our engines. Contests in ’68 were held at Monroe, LA; Vandalia, IL; Ottumwa, IA; Rockford (Harvard) IL and the Nationals at Oak Grove airport, Fort Worth, TX. One of the pleasures of this era was the wide variety of competing aircraft. They included a lively mix of both monoplanes (clipped Cub and T-Craft, Luscombe, Ryan PT-22 and STA, Citabria, Stitts Playboy, Cassutt Racer, Chipmunk, Dart, and Zlin) and biplanes (Smith Miniplane, EAA Biplane, Pitts Special, PJ-260, Stampe, Bucker Jungmeister and Jungmann, Great Lakes, Wacos, and Stearman). Many of these early airplanes were modified to enhance their strength, control systems and to implement inverted power.
