  • Design of Seaplanes
    APPENDIX C3: Design of Seaplanes This appendix is a part of the book General Aviation Aircraft Design: Applied Methods and Procedures by Snorri Gudmundsson, published by Elsevier, Inc. The book is available through various bookstores and online retailers, such as www.elsevier.com, www.amazon.com, and many others. The purpose of the appendices denoted by C1 through C5 is to provide additional information on the design of selected aircraft configurations, beyond what is possible in the main part of Chapter 4, Aircraft Conceptual Layout. Some of the information is intended for the novice engineer, but other is advanced and well beyond what is possible to present in undergraduate design classes. This way, the appendices can serve as a refresher material for the experienced aircraft designer, while introducing new material to the student. Additionally, many helpful design philosophies are presented in the text. Since this appendix is offered online rather than in the actual book, it is possible to revise it regularly and both add to the information and new types of aircraft. The following appendices are offered: C1 – Design of Conventional Aircraft C2 – Design of Canard Aircraft C3 – Design of Seaplanes (this appendix) C4 – Design of Sailplanes C5 – Design of Unusual Configurations Figure C3-1: A Lake LA-250 Renegade, shown here during climb after T-O, is a popular option for amphibious aircraft. The large deflected flap on the horizontal tail is a hydraulically actuated trim tab used for slow speed operations only. It trims out the thrust effect of the highly mounted piston-propeller, improving its handling.

The City’s plan for 2000, as documented in the accompanying report, provides information regarding the availability of passenger terminal facilities, the use of passenger facility charge (PFC) revenues to fund terminal facilities, airline leasing arrangements, patterns of airline service, and average airfares for passengers originating their journeys at the Airport. The plan also sets forth the City’s current and planned initiatives to encourage competitive airline service at the Airport, construct terminal facilities needed to accommodate additional airline service, and ensure that access is provided to airlines wishing to serve the Airport on fair, reasonable, and nondiscriminatory terms. These initiatives are summarized in the following paragraphs. Encourage New Airline Service Airlines that have recently started scheduled domestic service at Philadelphia International Airport include AirTran Airways, America West Airlines, American Trans Air, Midway Airlines, Midwest Express Airlines, and National Airlines. Airlines that have recently started scheduled international service at the Airport include Air France and Lufthansa. The City intends to continue its programs to encourage airlines to begin or increase service at the Airport.

The GFC 700 AFCS, like most autoflight systems, includes both a flight director (FD) and an autopilot (AP). The FD calculates the pitch and bank angles needed to fly the desired course, heading, altitude, speed, etc., that the pilot has programmed. It then displays these angles on the primary flight display (PFD) using magenta command bars. The pilot can follow the desired flight path by manipulating the control wheel to align the yellow aircraft symbol with the command bars. Alternately, the pilot can activate the AP, which uses servos to adjust the elevators, ailerons, and elevator trim as necessary to follow the command bars. Controls The AFCS is activated and programmed using buttons on the left bezel of the PFD and the multifunction display (MFD).

  • Cessna Denali Has Been Realigned to Beechcraft Turboprop Family
    50SKYSHADESImage not found or type unknown- aviation news CESSNA DENALI HAS BEEN REALIGNED TO BEECHCRAFT TURBOPROP FAMILY News / Business aviation, Manufacturer Image not found or type unknown © 2015-2021 50SKYSHADES.COM — Reproduction, copying, or redistribution for commercial purposes is prohibited. 1 Textron Aviation is realigning its turboprop aircraft lineup as the single-engine Beechcraft Denali (previously branded the Cessna Denali) joins the legendary twin-engine Beechcraft King Air 260 and King Air 360/360ER as part of the company’s high-performance turboprop product lineup. The aircraft development program continues to progress toward a first flight anticipated later this year. “The Beechcraft Denali represents our continued strategy to invest in clean-sheet and current products in both our Beechcraft and Cessna iconic brands. Beechcraft turboprops are renowned for their versatility and reliability, and the single-engine Denali is a perfect complement to this legendary family of products,” said Ron Draper, Textron Aviation, president and CEO. “Pilots and passengers will appreciate the aircraft for its enhanced capabilities, innovative technology and all-around passenger comfort.” The Beechcraft Denali is designed to outperform its competition with projected lower operating costs, Garmin G3000 avionics, and the largest cabin in its class. Engineered to achieve cruise speeds of 285 knots with a full fuel payload of 1,100 pounds, the Denali will have a range of 1,600 nautical miles at high speed cruise with one pilot and four passengers. “We continue to receive interest around the world from turboprop and piston owners of competing aircraft, who are looking to move into an aircraft with greater performance and enhanced passenger experience,” said Lannie O’Bannion, senior vice president, Global Sales and Flight Operations.

  • Glider Handbook, Chapter 2: Components and Systems
    Chapter 2 Components and Systems Introduction Although gliders come in an array of shapes and sizes, the basic design features of most gliders are fundamentally the same. All gliders conform to the aerodynamic principles that make flight possible. When air flows over the wings of a glider, the wings produce a force called lift that allows the aircraft to stay aloft. Glider wings are designed to produce maximum lift with minimum drag. 2-1 Glider Design With each generation of new materials and development and improvements in aerodynamics, the performance of gliders The earlier gliders were made mainly of wood with metal has increased. One measure of performance is glide ratio. A fastenings, stays, and control cables. Subsequent designs glide ratio of 30:1 means that in smooth air a glider can travel led to a fuselage made of fabric-covered steel tubing forward 30 feet while only losing 1 foot of altitude. Glide glued to wood and fabric wings for lightness and strength. ratio is discussed further in Chapter 5, Glider Performance. New materials, such as carbon fiber, fiberglass, glass reinforced plastic (GRP), and Kevlar® are now being used Due to the critical role that aerodynamic efficiency plays in to developed stronger and lighter gliders. Modern gliders the performance of a glider, gliders often have aerodynamic are usually designed by computer-aided software to increase features seldom found in other aircraft.

  • The Expected Wave-Off by Richard Carlson SSF Chairman
    The Expected Wave-Off by Richard Carlson SSF Chairman The February morning was bright and clear, just as the forecast had predicted. It was a perfect day to go out to the glider school and knock some rust off and beat those Chicago winter blues. With the forecast for temperatures in the low 40’s and no snow on the grass runway, a group of us made arrangements to meet Saturday morning for some winter flying. Nobody expected thermals, and we were not disappointed flying only sled rides in our trusty Blanik L-13. We all pitched in to ready the glider for flight, doing the pre-flight inspection and securing the rear seat belts as everyone was going solo to get current. Today our Green Citrabria would be doing the towing duties. It was pre-heated, started and test flown, all systems go. My turn finally arrived and I eagerly climbed into the front seat, buckled up , ran the flow, and conducted the checklist. The lack of an electrical system meant no radio or audio vario, just basic analog gauges for Airspeed, Altitude, and Vario - Check. Belts on and adjusted, rear seat belts fastened to avoid any fouling of the controls - Check. No ballast installed and none required – Check. Flaps and Dive brakes closed and handles in the lock detent, stick and rudder pedals free travel in all directions, trim set for take-off – Check. Towplane in position, no knots in the rope, proper towring attached and verified – Check. Canopy close and locked, vents open to keep it from fogging over – Check.
