Techtalk: Moth Handout-1
BRINGING BRITISH COLUMBIA’S AVIATION PAST INTO THE FUTURE CCAANNAADDIIAANN MMUUSSEEUUMM OOFF FFLLIIGGHHTT TTEECCHHTTAALLKK:: DDHH TTIIGGEERR MMOOTTHH The Canadian Museum of Flight is presenting a series of informal technical talks on aircraft in its fleet. These talks will cover topics ranging from the history of the com - pany; the history of the aircraft type; its development; production methods and places; the history of the engine and its development. Also covered will be the challenges in maintaining and flying these classic aircraft in today’s environment; how the mechanics find the parts and how the pilots keep current on flying a 70 year old flying machine designed before the dawn of the jet age. This will be followed by details of how the aircraft is prepared for flight; how the engine is started; followed by an engine start and flight. During the procedings a draw will be conducted entitling the lucky winner to a flight in the aircraft being discussed (some conditions apply). 2 The History of the de Havilland Moth family By 1931 the basic wooden DH60 Moth had evolved into an aircraft with a welded steel tube fuselage and 120hp engine, a combination more than capable of satisfying a growing requirement for initial training aircraft with added ca - pacity for actual or pseudo military aggression. Bearing this in mind the de Havilland Aircraft Company decided there was still potential development to be wrung out of their current airframe and even more from the engine. On 10 July 1931, an aircraft identified as a ‘DH Training Moth T1’ fitted with a Gipsy ll engine, was weighed at the de Havilland factory at Stag Lane. -
