  • Vought - Wikipedia
    10/27/2020 Vought - Wikipedia Vought Vought was the name of several related American aerospace firms. These have included, in the past, Lewis and Vought Corporation, Chance Vought, Vought Vought-Sikorsky, LTV Aerospace (part of Ling-Temco-Vought), Vought Aircraft Companies, and Vought Aircraft Industries. The first incarnation of Vought was established by Chance M. Vought and Birdseye Lewis in 1917. In 1928, it was acquired by United Aircraft and Transport Corporation, which a few years later became United Aircraft Corporation; this was the first of many reorganizations and buyouts. During the 1920s and 1930s, Vought Aircraft and Chance Vought specialized in carrier-based aircraft for the United States Navy, by far its biggest customer. Chance Vought produced thousands of planes during World War II, including the F4U Corsair. Vought became independent again in 1954, and was purchased by Ling- Temco-Vought (LTV) in 1961. The company designed and produced a variety of The VE-7 was the first aircraft to planes and missiles throughout the Cold War. Vought was sold from LTV and owned launch from a U.S. Navy aircraft in various degrees by the Carlyle Group and Northrop Grumman in the early 1990s. It carrier was then fully bought by Carlyle, renamed Vought Aircraft Industries, with Industry Aerospace headquarters in Dallas, Texas. In June 2010, the Carlyle Group sold Vought to the Triumph Group. Founded 1917 Founders Birdseye Lewis Chance M.

    NATIONAL AIR AND SPACE ARCHIVES Herbert Stephen Desind Collection Accession No. 1997-0014 NASM 9A00657 National Air and Space Museum Smithsonian Institution Washington, DC Brian D. Nicklas © Smithsonian Institution, 2003 NASM Archives Desind Collection 1997-0014 Herbert Stephen Desind Collection 109 Cubic Feet, 305 Boxes Biographical Note Herbert Stephen Desind was a Washington, DC area native born on January 15, 1945, raised in Silver Spring, Maryland and educated at the University of Maryland. He obtained his BA degree in Communications at Maryland in 1967, and began working in the local public schools as a science teacher. At the time of his death, in October 1992, he was a high school teacher and a freelance writer/lecturer on spaceflight. Desind also was an avid model rocketeer, specializing in using the Estes Cineroc, a model rocket with an 8mm movie camera mounted in the nose. To many members of the National Association of Rocketry (NAR), he was known as “Mr. Cineroc.” His extensive requests worldwide for information and photographs of rocketry programs even led to a visit from FBI agents who asked him about the nature of his activities. Mr. Desind used the collection to support his writings in NAR publications, and his building scale model rockets for NAR competitions. Desind also used the material in the classroom, and in promoting model rocket clubs to foster an interest in spaceflight among his students. Desind entered the NASA Teacher in Space program in 1985, but it is not clear how far along his submission rose in the selection process. He was not a semi-finalist, although he had a strong application.

  • Celebrating the Centennial of Naval Aviation in 1/72 Scale
    Celebrating the Centennial of Naval Aviation in 1/72 Scale 2010 USN/USMC/USCG 1/72 Aircraft Kit Survey J. Michael McMurtrey IPMS-USA 1746 Carrollton, TX [email protected] As 2011 marks the centennial of U.S. naval aviation, aircraft modelers might be interested in this list of US naval aircraft — including those of the Marines and Coast Guard, as well as captured enemy aircraft tested by the US Navy — which are available as 1/72 scale kits. Why 1/72? There are far more kits of naval aircraft available in this scale than any other. Plus, it’s my favorite, in spite of advancing age and weakening eyes. This is an updated version of an article I prepared for the 75th Anniversary of US naval aviation and which was published in a 1986 issue of the old IPMS-USA Update. It’s amazing to compare the two and realize what developments have occurred, both in naval aeronautical technology and the scale modeling hobby, but especially the latter. My 1986 list included 168 specific aircraft types available in kit form from thirty- three manufacturers — some injected, some vacuum-formed — and only three conversion kits and no resin kits. Many of these names (Classic Plane, Contrails, Eagle’s Talon, Esci, Ertl, Formaplane, Frog, Griffin, Hawk, Matchbox, Monogram, Rareplane, Veeday, Victor 66) are no longer with us or have been absorbed by others. This update lists 345 aircraft types (including the original 168) from 192 different companies (including the original 33), many of which, especially the producers of resin kits, were not in existence in 1986, and some of which were unknown to me at the time.

There is simply not sufficient time or space to acknowledge everyone who has helped me make it through graduate school and finish this document. First and foremost, my wife, Laura, has helped keep me sane throughout the many stressful times and transitions that have occurred in my life since beginning grad school. From providing me encouragement when things were getting overwhelming, to picking up the slack around our home when I was slammed with work, to being an awesome mother to our kids, she has helped me more than any other person to complete this work.

Thank you. The club encourages all our members to visit the club’s Facebook page and check out the latest content, announcements and club event’s www.facebook.com/groups/148353592007739. Also check out the clubs website at www.hampshirecountyrc.com Hampshire County Radio Controllers Business Meeting of May 2, 2019 MINUTES The meeting was brought to order by V.P. Santiago M. after pizza was brought in from Florence Pizza for the small group attending. As was noted, the weather was a factor in moving to the VFW when May’s meeting is usually held at the field. The attendance was 10 including two of the club officers, so the meeting rules for voting were suspended due to a lack of a quorum. As the secretary mentioned; the only time a vote is valid without a quorum is when an applicant for membership is presented. Santiago then asked the secretary to read the minutes (waived by consensus) and the treasurer’s financial report for the month of April. As there were no objections or change the financial report was accepted as read. Under Old Business , Santiago said we would forgo the usual 50/50 raffle but would have a free raffle of donated hobby items later in the meeting. Next, he went over some of the tasks completed at the Spring Clean-Up that included: new bleacher seating (metal frame donated by the SPARKS CLUB) needing completely new wood for the seats and steps.

  • THE GENESIS of an EXPERIMENT Or the Framework of Experimental Development
    Session 3226 THE GENESIS OF AN EXPERIMENT or The Framework of Experimental Development Donald V. Richardson, Emeritus Waterbury State Technical College, Connecticut Abstract Every experiment, when performed for the first time, is done in order to further develop a sci- ence, or technology to enhance military or civilian equipment. This paper shows that experiments into unknown territory always use the same fundamental steps, regardless of if or how they are named. When these experiments are repeated as student work, sometimes these steps are only implied. Instruction delivered by computer simulation frequently ignores most of these steps. I. INTRODUCTION While computer simulations of experimental processes can be valuable because they save time and allow greater progress in limited class time, both professors and students must recognize and understand the essential steps of an experiment as detailed below. Class discussion should ex- plore these steps at the beginning of a course. The seven essential steps of any experiment are: a.) PROBLEM: Recognizing a need to either find answers to a new situation or further de- velop a field of study. b.) DESIGN: The experimental apparatus and procedure visualized to accomplish the desired result whether using standard instruments and apparatus or something entirely new. c.) DATA: The records which document the experimental procedure. These may be written, recorded, photographed, or researched from old records; whether quantitative or subjec- tive. d.) INTERPRETATION: Selecting, sorting, filtering, and reducing the mass of raw experi- mental data to expose consistent results. e.) DECISION: Determining the next step to resolve the original problem, or determining if the experimental results are acceptable.

  • Chance Vought XF5U Skimmer
    Was Sie schon immer mal wissen wollten – oder die letzten Geheimnisse der Luftfahrt Eine lose Folge von Dokumentationen vom Luftfahrtmuseum Hannover-Laatzen Stand Frühjahr 2014 - Seite 1 Diese Dokumentationen werden Interessenten auf Wunsch zur Verfügung gestellt und erscheinen in einer losen Folge von Zeiträumen. Compiled and edited by Johannes Wehrmann 2014 Source of Details Wikipedia and Internet Chance Vought XF5U Skimmer AIC = 1.022.2752.20.10 Typ Jagdflugzeug-Prototyp Entwurfsland: USA Hersteller: Chance Vought Erstflug: nur Rollversuche Stückzahl: 1 Entwicklungsgeschichte Die Chance Vought XF5U (Werksbezeichnung VS-315) war der Prototyp eines geplanten extrem kurzstartfähigen (ESTOL) Jagdflugzeugs des US-amerikanischen Herstellers Chance Vought aus den 1940er Jahren. Der inoffizielle Beiname Flying Flapjack (Fliegender Pfannkuchen) rührt von der ungewöhnlichen konstruktiven Auslegung mit einer angenähert kreisförmigen Tragfläche her. Die Entwicklung der XF5U basierte auf den Ergebnissen des Erprobungsträgers Chance Vought V-173. Nachdem bereits die V-173 inoffiziell als „Zimmer-Skimmer“ (nach ihrem Konstrukteur Zimmerman) bezeichnet wurde, trug die XF5U auch den Beinamen „Skimmer“. Bereits vor dem Erstflug der V-173 erteilte die US Navy am 17. September 1942 Chance Vought den Auftrag zum Bau eines auf der V-173 basierenden Jagdflugzeug-Prototyps XF5U-1. Die V-173 diente bei über 200 Flügen als Testflugzeug, den Schritt zur Erprobung der Senkrechtstartfähigkeit wurde jedoch nicht unternommen; hierzu hätte es einer grundlegenden Umkonstruktion der Maschine bedurft. Der Auftrag umfasste den Bau einer Bruchzelle und eines Prototyps für die Flugerprobung. Verantwortlicher Konstrukteur war E. J. Greenwood. Eine aus Holz aufgebaute Attrappe konnte am 7. Juni 1943 inspiziert werden, wobei noch Dreiblatt-propeller mit 4,88 m Durchmesser verwendet wurden, die später gegen eine Vierblattausführung ausgetauscht wurden.
