FREE VANATOR - ROMANIAN HUNTER: THE I.A.R.80 AND I.A.R.81 IN ULTIMATE DETAIL PDF Radu Brinzan | 368 pages | 19 Feb 2015 | Mushroom Model Publications | 9788363678401 | English | Poland » Vânator – Romanian Hunter Development of the serviceable IAR 80 was slow and, though the fighter was of a capable breed when it first appeared, the system was highly outclassed by When first unveiled inthe Romanian-produced I. A total of consisting of both aircraft types were known to be produced and the fighter pressed on into wartime service up toby which time it was all but made obsolescent by new and more powerful entries appearing on the global stage. The aircraft suffered throughout its production life due to a shortage of adequate armament to fit the design. IAR was the only one of the three state-created aviation companies to answer the call locally, offering up several complete prototypes for review, while external providers were also considered. The high-monoplane wings of previous PZL production fighters was abandoned in favor of the more modern low-wing monoplane mounting, this wing component said to be taken straight from an Italian Savoia-Marchetti bomber design. In essence, the IAR 80 would be pieced together from various successful working designs and re-engineered into a more capable platform. Even the open cockpit approach of the PZL designs were retained for the prototype. Bythe first prototype was made available for flight, this aircraft sporting a IAR version of the French license-produced Gnome-Rhone 14K II Mistral Major engine - a powerplant brand that IAR had already achieved a good deal of experience constructing at their plant. Follow-up flights shown the IAR prototype to produce favorable results, particularly in the area of maneuverability, with a competently-arranged airframe to boot. The following year would be spent mostly on addressing several issues resulting from these test flights. The new-look IAR. This change forced the cockpit position a ways back in the design to which the pilot's seat had to be raised and a bubble canopy added to improve his forward vision - particularly while taxiing along the ground. Along with these changes, additional fuel was added in the newly created fuselage spaces effectively increasing the aircrafts original intended range. Production of the IAR 80 immediately followed with an initial order of examples though these were delayed with the fall of Belgium, as Fabrique-Nationale was the intended armaments supplier for the IAR The armament issue was somewhat rectified with the inclusion of Romania into the Axis fold. This finally allowed the IAR 80 to begin its delivery schedule into Romanian air groups for some valuable operational experience. The first IAR 80 was made available in January ofsome three years after its first flight in prototype from. Production models were only allowed an armament suite Vanator - Romanian Hunter: The I.A.R.80 and I.A.R.81 in Ultimate Detail 4 x 7. In-field feedback also resulted in the use of the KIV C32 series engine of horsepower as many Romanian pilots felt the aircraft lacked much punch in terms of performance. As the war progressed in Germany's favor, the IAR 80 benefitted by the delivery of more guns. This resulted in the aircraft now coming off the production lines with its full bevy of 6 x 7. A newer 1, horsepower engine KA engine was also fitted for improvements in performance and armor plating and a bulletproof windshield was added to the cockpit area. These additions, however, came at a lofty price. The added weight of the new engine, extra machine guns and armor no doubt slowed the overall top speed of the aircraft, though these additions were seen as detrimental to improving the type for the long run. The IAR 80A model series clocked in at miles per hour with a mile range and a ceiling of 31, feet. Wartime experience of the IAR 80A showcased the aircraft to be weak in several areas. A follow-up design produced the IAR 80B deliveries beginning mid with new longer wings and heavier-caliber The communications suite was also further upgraded. The base IAR 80 could hit miles per hour and ceiling of 34, feet while achieving a range of miles. The similar IAR 81 was designed to fulfill the Romanian need for a dive bomber platform. Modifying the IAR 80A was an economical response to the requirement considering the atmosphere in Europe at the time. This dive bomber derivative eventually sported a centerline bomb rack position for lb ordnance and underwing racks mounting lb bombs as well. The IAR 81C hit a top speed of miles per hour, a range of miles and a ceiling of 31, feet. Design Design-wise, the base IAR 80 fighter displayed a very distinct layout when compared to her contemporaries, with the pilots position located well aft on the pencil-like fuselage, positioned behind of the wing trailing edges. A radial piston engine - a single IAR-produced K. The low-wing monoplanes were fitted behind and below the Vanator - Romanian Hunter: The I.A.R.80 and I.A.R.81 in Ultimate Detail compartment, well ahead of the cockpit - this was a necessity with changes brought about after the initial prototype was revised as mentioned earlier. The single seat cockpit featured a bubble style canopy offering good vision with the forward piece showcasing framing. The fuselage compacted into a tight empennage to which was adorned a traditional rudder and elevator assembly. These systems were mounted in the wings. The IAR 80A saw this armament increase to 6 x 7. The IAR 81C retained Vanator - Romanian Hunter: The I.A.R.80 and I.A.R.81 in Ultimate Detail original 4 x 7. Conclusion In the end, Vanator - Romanian Hunter: The I.A.R.80 and I.A.R.81 in Ultimate Detail IAR 80 as a series was a limited success. With more potential early on to compete with the likes of other fabled designs, the Romanian air industry had to make do with what it could manifest. Tight control of supplies by their German overseers allowed the IAR 80 to suffer and limited production of the fighter to the extent that it played only a minor role in the conflict. The aircraft would serve in the Romanian air forces up untilthose these later models were nothing more than modified trainers, themselves replaced by more capable Soviet types. Year: Crew 1.

Dudu Frim la bordul unei avionete Klemm T25CP, în 1928 Cuvânt înainte e la primele ei începuturi, uzina de avioane IAR a fost încadrată Dcu o serie de piloţi de elită pentru încercări la zbor ale aparatelor executate de această uzină. Erau aşa-zişii “ piloţi de încercare”. Primii “test piloţi” din IAR au fost: căpitanii aviatori Romeo Popescu, cel cu care am făcut eu botezul aerului,Alexandru Papană, Dumitru Pufi Popescu, iar după moartea lui a devenit pilot şef de încercări inginerul pilot Dudu Alexandru Frim, unul dintre cei mai buni prieteni pe care i-am avut . Dudu Frim continuă zborurile de încercare şi punere la punct ale avioanelor IAR-80, IAR-81, după care execută zborurile în premieră absolută pentru avioanele IAR 47 şi a întreaga serie de bombardiere Savoia Marchetti. Istoric vorbind, evoluţia avionului IAR-80 este legată de numele lui Dumitru Pufi Popescu şi Alexandru Dudu Frim. Era o personalitate foarte complxă şi pentru a-l înţelege am să vă povestesc o aventură comună. Nu decisivă, nu foarte importantă dar definitorie. Datorită fur- tunii cei de la o cabană de ski au rămas izolaţi. Cum se putea rezolva problema ? Aeronautic ! Cu ajutorul unui bombardier ! Mecanicii de la hagar au demontat puntea de trecere dintre lansatoarele de bombe ale unui bombardier Savoia Marchetti, după care, prin trapele larg deschise, baloturile de paie au fost băgate în avion, al cărui fuzelaj s-a umplut până la coadă.

This is an open access article under the CC BY-NC-ND license (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/) Abstract: Inter-war Romania developed 6 aircraft factories, the first starting its activity in 1916. Four of these, with three located in Bucharest, produced over 2000 aircraft, maily for the military use as Romania entered the Second World War. The activity of these factories was undertaken in times when nobody thought about formulating the principles of quality management and the research of the first scientists in quality, Deming, Shewhart and Juran had not yet been accepted or published. The work aims to present the inter-war Romanian aeronautical industry developments regarding the quality management.

    editorial M E S A J U L MINISTRULUI APĂRĂRII NAŢIONALE TRANSMIS CU OCAZIA ANIVERSĂRII CENTENARULUI AERONAUTICII MILITARE ROMÂNE mplinirea a 100 de ani de la apariţia primei Legi de organizare a aeronauticii militare este un moment important în viaţa Înoastră și, în același timp, de cinstire a tradiţiei Forţelor Aeriene Române. Începuturile aeronauticii sunt marcate de nume ca Traian Vuia, Aurel Vlaicu sau Henri Coandă, care au dat României prestigiu și inovaţie. Aceștia, prin invenţiile create, au oferit o nouă viziune aeronauticii militare și au creat perspectivele Forţelor Aeriene Române. Istoria și faptele petrecute în trecut au dovedit deosebita importanţă a aeronauticii militare și a armelor conexe care alcătuiesc în prezent Forţele Aeriene Române, în conflagraţiile mondiale, în exerciţiile și misiunile multinaţionale și naţionale, atât în scopuri militare, cât și civile. Forţele Aeriene s-au dovedit a fi o entitate absolut necesară în procesul de evoluţie al armatei, iar eforturile depuse de militarii dedicaţi apărării spaţiului aerian naţional s-au ridicat la înălţimea așteptărilor acestui domeniu de elită, cu rol decisiv pe scena strategică mondială, în operaţii conduse de Alianţa Nord-Atlantică, Uniunea Europeană și Organizaţia Naţiunilor Unite. Militarii români s-au implicat nemijlocit în dezamorsarea zonelor fierbinţi de pe glob și au demonstrat că integritatea noastră în structurile euroatlantice nu a fost întâmplătoare, ci o consecinţă a muncii și a perseverenţei în timp. Datorită lor, România a devenit un aliat de încredere și un partener important al statelor membre NATO. Am convingerea că vor fi foarte mulţi tineri care se vor îndrepta către această carieră și care vor dori să facă parte din structurile forţelor aeriene.

In this sense, we will try to synthesize and reveal the most important, often unfavorable moments (national political interests with corrup‑ tive origins or unfavorable international geopolitical connotations) regarding the emergence, development and evolution of the aerospace industry in Braşov in the three historical periods which have marked the evolution Romania after the First World War: the interwar capitalist period, the communist period and the capitalist period after December 1989. KEYWORDS: aeronautics, aircraft, education, engineers, inventors, indus‑ try history, Brasov. Introducere Tema abordată de noi a constituit și va constitui în continuare o obligație de patriotism local, dar și o responsabilitate morală a instituțiilor de învățământ brașovene față de înaintași, privind dezvoltarea și evoluția în orașul nostru a uneia dintre industriile de vârf ale ultimelor două secole pe plan mondial – industria aeronautică.

    1 IAR Brasov, Prima Uzina Aeronautica Româneasca Premisele Înfiintarii

    1 IAR Brasov, prima uzina aeronautica româneasca Premisele înfiintarii Existenta fabricii de constructii aeronautice de la Ghimbav Brasov, cât si a unora din marile uzine ale tarii noastre (Tractorul Brasov, Electroprecizia Sacele, Dacia Pitesti, Aro Câmpulung) se datoreaza unor oameni de exceptie, care prin puterea mintii, a sufletului, dar nu în ultimul rând a mâinilor, au reusit sa aduca un renume de prestigiu Industriei Aeronautice Române, contribuind la dezvoltarea mondiala a aviatiei. Înfiintarea uzinei IAR înca de la începuturile aviatiei este meritul unor astfel de oameni, pasionati de meseria lor, caci pe cei dintâi care au activat în cadrul IAR-ului îi regasim în unitatile industriale din timpul si dupa primul razboi mondial, dintre care amintim „Rezerva Generala a Aviatiei “ de la Iasi, transferata la Bucuresti în noiembrie 1919 si devenita „Arsenalul Aeronautic “ la data de 1 iulie 1920. Aici îl întâlnim, la conducere, pe maiorul inginer aviator Stefan Protopopescu, detinatorul primului brevet de pilot românesc. Tot aici, dupa proiectul realizat de acesta s-a construit avionul Proto, care urma sa fie în anul 1922 primul avion autohton construit într-o unitate industriala româneasca. Avionul era echipat cu un motor Hispano-Suiza ce dezvolta 180 CP, urcând la 4000 m în 29 min si având plafonul de 6000 m. În cadrul „Arsenalului Aeronautic “ s-au mai construit avioane Brandenburg si reparat diverse timpuri de avioane (Potez XV, Breguet, Spad etc.) dar si motoare ca Austro-Daimler (200 CP), Renault (300 CP) si altele. În 1924 a avut loc la arsenal, prima încercare statica a unei celule de avion, care consta în asezarea pe suprafetele portante a unor saci de nisip pâna la rupere, stabilindu-se astfel factorul de sarcina în exploatare.
