It had outstanding maneuverability, and an excellent rate of climb. Initially, the Nieuport 17 retained the above wing mounted Lewis gun of the "11", but in French service this was soon replaced by a synchronized Vickers gun. In the Royal Flying Corps, the wing mounted Lewis was usually retained, by now on the improved Foster mounting, a curved metal rail which allowed the pilot to bring the gun down in order to change drums or clear jams. A few individual aircraft were fitted with both guns - but in practice this reduced performance unacceptably, and a single machine gun remained standard. The type reached the French front in March 1916, and quickly began to replace the smaller Nieuport 11 and 16 in French service. The type went into service with Escadrille N.57 on May 2, 1916. With the British DH.2 the Nieuports were responsible for ending the reign of the Fokker Eindecker - the so-called 'Fokker scourge' period, proving a severe shock to German aviation high command.

  • Sns College of Technology
    SNS COLLEGE OF TECHNOLOGY (An Autonomous Institution) COIMBATORE-35 DEPARTMENT OF AERONAUTICAL ENGINEERING BIPLANE A biplane is a fixed-wing aircraft with two main wings. The first powered heavier-thanair aircraft, the Wright brothers‟ Wright Flyer, used a biplane design, as did most airplanes in the early years of aviation. While a biplane wing structure has a structural disadvantage, it produces more drag than a similar monoplane wing. Improved structural techniques and materials, as first pioneered by Hugo Junkers in 1915, and the need for greater speed, made the biplane configuration obsolete for most purposes by the late 1930s. In a biplane aircraft, two wings are placed one above the other. Both provide a portion of the lift; although they are not able to produce twice as much lift as a single wing of similar planform. This is because a wing's effect is imposed on a circular cylinder of air as the craft moves forward. In the case of the biplane, the upper and the lower are working on nearly the same portion of the atmosphere. In a wing of aspect ratio 6, and a wing separation distance of one chord length, the biplane configuration can produce about 20 percent more lift than a single wing of the same planform. In the biplane configuration, the lower wing is often attached to the fuselage, while the upper wing is raised above, although other combinations have occurred. Almost all biplanes also have a third horizontal surface, the tailplane, to control the pitch, or angle of attack of the aircraft (although there have been a few exceptions).

  • If These Airplanes Could Talk
    National Aeronautics and Space Administration GRADES 5-12 If These Airplanes Could Talk Aeronautics Research Mission history of flight Directorate Museum in a BO SerieXs www.nasa.gov Background History of Aviation For many thousands of years, man has looked at the sky and dreamt of flying. Evidence of this can be found in stories such as “Daedalus” from Greek mythology and “Pushpaka Vimana of Ravana” in Hindu mythology. The earliest known attempts to fly were made by fashioning wings, modeled after birds’ wings and strapping them to human arms. This method was unsuccessful but it did not deter people from continuing to attempt to fly. The kite was the first successful unmanned flying device and was invented in China around 400 BC. Kites work by generating lift, just as today’s modern airplanes do. Devices that use this type of technology are referred to as “heavier-than-air” aircraft. MUSEUM IN A BOX About 100 years later in 300 BC, the Chinese invented the Kongming lantern (Img. 1). Kongming lanterns (also called paper lanterns) were constructed of a thin paper shell with a lamp or candle burning underneath. The heat from the lamp warmed the air in the bag which caused the lantern to rise. The Montgolfier Brothers expanded on this discovery in 1782 and built the world’s first hot air balloon, which works (Photo courtesy of Wikipedia, GNU Free Documentation License) according to the same principles only on a larger scale. Img. 1 Kongming latern Kongming lanterns and hot air balloons both fly because gases, including air, become less dense when heated.

  • Aviation Oddities
    AIAA AEROSPACE M ICRO-LESSON Easily digestible Aerospace Principles revealed for K-12 Students and Educators. These lessons will be sent on a bi-weekly basis and allow grade-level focused learning. - AIAA STEM K-12 Committee. AVIATION ODDITIES Most of us have a clear idea of what an airplane looks like; the word conjures up images of airliners and fighter jets, or perhaps old-fashioned biplanes and general aviation stalwarts like Cessna Skyhawks and Piper Cherokees. These planes all share generally similar layouts: long, relatively slender fuselages, wings mounted on the left and right sides, and stabilizers (vertical and horizontal fins) mounted at the tail. This has been the “standard” configuration for aircraft for over a hundred years (probably dating back to Glenn Curtiss’ “Headless Pusher,” one of the first aircraft to go into production), but over the years there have been a dizzying variety of different configurations for airplanes, ranging from the unexpected to the downright bizarre. Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS): * Discipline: Engineering, technology, and applications of science. * Crosscutting Concept: Structure and function. * Science & Engineering Practice: Constructing explanations and designing solutions. GRADES K-2 NGSS: Engineering Design: Ask questions, make observations, and gather information about a situation people want to change to define a simple problem that can be solved through the development of a new or improved object or tool. What does an airplane need in order to fly? First, it needs enough lift to counteract its weight and keep it in the air. Then it needs some means to keep its front end pointing forward.

  • Number 7 SMITHSONIAN ANNALS of FLIGHT SMITHSONIAN AIR
    Number 7 SMITHSONIAN ANNALS OF FLIGHT SMITHSONIAN AIR AND SPACE MUSEUM & SERIAL PUBLICATIONS OF THE SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION The emphasis upon publications as a means of diffusing knowledge was expressed by the first Secretary of the Smithsonian Institution. In his formal plan for the Insti­ tution, Joseph Henry articulated a program that included the following statement: "It is proposed to publish a series of reports, giving an account of the new discoveries in science, and of the changes made from year to year in all branches of knowledge." This keynote of basic research has been adhered to over the years in the issuance of thousands of titles in serial publications under the Smithsonian imprint, com­ mencing with Smithsonian Contributions to Knowledge in 1848 and continuing with the following active series: Smithsonian Annals of Flight Smithsonian Contributions to Anthropology Smithsonian Contributions to Astrophysics Smithsonian Contributions to Botany Smithsonian Contributions to the Earth Sciences Smithsonian Contributions to Paleobiology Smithsonian Contributions to Zoology Smithsonian Studies in History and Technology In these series, the Institution publishes original articles and monographs dealing with the research and collections of its several museums and offices and of professional colleagues at other institutions of learning. These papers report newly acquired facts, synoptic interpretations of data, or original theory in specialized fields.
