  • Flight Testing Simulations of the Wright 1902 Glider and 1903 Flyer
    FLIGHT TESTING SIMULATIONS OF THE WRIGHT 1902 GLIDER AND 1903 FLYER Ben Lawrence Gareth D Padfield Ph.D Research Student Professor of Aerospace Engineering Department of Engineering Department of Engineering University of Liverpool, UK University of Liverpool, UK [email protected] [email protected] ABSTRACT It was the Wright Brothers who successfully used the process and discipline of flight-test one hundred years ago. Annual flight test campaigns in the years 1900- 1905 clearly show how the Wright brothers used flight-testing to assess the performance, analyse the flight dynamics and propose improvements to their aircraft designs. This paper will present an analysis of the 1902 Glider first flight- tested in the fall of 1902 and the 1903 Flyer first flight-tested on December 17th 1903. Results will be taken from a research project underway at the University of Liverpool where the technical achievements of the Wright Brothers in the period 1900-1905 are being assessed using modern analytical and experimental methods. Results from piloted handling tests conducted on the Liverpool Flight Simulator, featuring six motion axes and six visual channels will be presented. The results show how the simulation trials were treated with a contemporary approach in terms setting handling qualities requirements and assessing the aircraft in a predefined ‘role’. Investigations have been made into the different types flown in 1902-1905 and variations on those, including some ‘what if’ configurations. One example is the critical innovation of 3-axis flight control, a direct result of flight-test. In conclusion the paper will present how the Wrights understood the importance of flight control and pilot skill and how both were developed through a controlled and systematic programme of flight-test.

    INDIEN-INCENTIVE Welcome to the face of incredible India (The Golden Triangle) Delhi - Agra – Jaipur - Delhi 06 Nights / 07 Days Namaste !!! Traditional greeting of India Program Details Day 01: Arrive at Delhi Arrive in Delhi. On arrival, you will receive a Traditional welcome with Garlands by our representative and later transferred to the hotel. (Rooms will be available from 1400 hrs) DELHI – It is a city that bridges two different worlds. Old Delhi, once the capital of Islamic India, is a labyrinth of narrow lanes lined with crumbling havelis and formidable mosques. In contrast, the imperial city of New Delhi created by the British Raj is composed of spacious, tree-lined avenues and imposing government buildings. Delhi has been the seat of power for several rulers and many empires for about a millennium. Many a times the city was built, destroyed and then rebuilt here. Interestingly, a number of Delhi’s rulers played a dual role, first as destroyers and then as creators. On arrival in Delhi, transfer to the hotel. Overnight at the hotel Day 02: Delhi After breakfast proceed for a tour of Delhi, including following – Visit the Jama Masjid - This great mosque of Old Delhi is the largest in India, with a courtyard capable of holding 25,000 devotees. It was begun in 1644 and ended up being the final architectural extravagance of Shah Jahan, the Mughal emperor who built the Taj Mahal and the Red Fort. The highly decorative mosque has three great gates, four towers and two 40 m-high minarets constructed of strips of red sandstone and white marble.

  • Bulgaria: “Our Footprint in the World”
    BULGARIA: “OUR FOOTPRINT IN THE WORLD” BULGARIA is one of the oldest European countries and is the only one that hasn’t changed its name ever since it was founded. FIRST SLAVIANIC ALPHABET CREATED BY CYRIL AND METHODIEUS The Bulgarians were the first people to use the CYRILLIC alphabet immediately after the inception in the IX century. Today the Cyrillic alphabet is the third official alphabet of the EU. According to the statistics, BULGARIA ranks third in Europe only after Greece and Italy for the number of its valuable archeological monuments. THE OLDEST GOLDEN TREASURE in the world was found in BULGARIA (in 294 graves were discovered more than 3000 golden objects dating back 6000 years.) PROTOTYPE OF THE MODERN COMPUTER The inventor of the first electronic computer “ABC” JOHN VINCENT ATANASOFF is of Bulgarian origin. Professor John Atanasoff together with his student Cliff Berry built the world’s first electronic digital computer at Iowa State University, between 1939 and 1942. An asteroid near to Mars discovered by Bulgarians was named after JOHN ATANASOFF PROTOTYPE OF THE WORLD’S FIRST ELECTRONIC WRISTWATCH In 1971 , the Bulgarian inventor, engineer and scientist PETAR PETROFF presented the prototype of the world's first digital wristwatch, named "Pulsar".

  • Assen Jordanoff - the Man Who Contributed to America's Airpower
    Assen Jordanoff - the man who contributed to America's airpower Brief biography of a great Bulgarian 19th revision, 15 Apr 2008 By Plamen Antonov Available also at http://www.pantonov.com/thoughts/assen_jordanoff This study follows the life of Assen Jordanoff from his birth and childhood, through his striking career in Bulgaria and America, to the end of his life, trying to keep close to the facts and avoid exaggerations and typical overworks and myths. It is mostly based on the book by Jordanoff's sister Milka Markowa-Totevy, written in tribute to her brother, on Jordanoff's own books, and on some other sources as well. Assen Jordanoff's career, after its brilliant beginning in Bulgaria, belongs to the development of aviation in America. Jordanoff occupied a distinct place among distinguished airmen at a given time - the golden age of aviation. "Jordanoff's contribution was essential to the advancement of U.S. aviation, thanks to his instructional/analytical books in the field of aeronautics and its processes, as well as thanks to the direct application of his engineering and practical skills in the building of aircraft. Jordanoff directly participated in the creation of important flying craft during WWII. One of them was P-40, which was present on all the combat sites and played a major part in air-to-air or air-to-ground confrontations. Another plane that greatly owes to him was the P-38, a 2-motor fighter having a large degree of mobility and range. It had a predominant role in the Pacific War, although it could be useful for many other purposes as well.
