	Airspeed Ltd
		The Airspeed company was established to build aeroplanes in 1931 in York, England by A.H. Tiltman and N.S. Norway.
		In 1940, de Havilland bought into Airspeed and, besides adapting some surplus Oxford aircraft as AS65 Consuls for the commercial market, they went on to produce a superbly streamlined twin-engined piston airliner called the AS57 Ambassador.
		Airspeed completely merged with de Havilland in 1951.

	Science Fair Projects - Airspeed Oxford
		The Airspeed AS10 Oxford was a twin-engine aircraft used for training British Commonwealth aircrews in navigation, radio-operating, bombing and gunnery during World War II.
		The Oxford was based on Airspeed's commercial 8-seater Envoy III, seven of which had been modified for the South African Air Force as the "Convertible Envoy", equipped with a single machine-gun in a hand-operated Armstrong Whitworth dorsal turret for training air-gunners.
		In producing the Oxford Mk I for the Royal Air Force, Airspeed increased the wingspan, modified the nose and employed fully-cowled Armstrong Siddeley Cheetah IX radial engines.

		Airspeed has become an ever-evolving skydiving project, continuing to grow the foundation of training and competition techniques developed by the original team established in 1994.
		Airspeed is more than a world class competition team - it's an organization that works hard to share what it has learned over thousands of jumps with the rest of the skydiving community.
		Arizona Airspeed is continuing to train full time as the 2004 U.S. 8-way team and will compete at the 2004 World Meet in Rejika, Croatia for the Ottley Sword once again.

		The airspeed indicator and altimeter are pressure gauges.
		The airspeed indicator is a differential pressure gauge, the altimeter is an absolute pressure gauge.
		Since the airspeed indicator is calibrated at standard temperature and pressure, its readings are inaccurate at different temperatures and altitudes.

	style.org > Estimating the Airspeed Velocity of an Unladen Swallow
		We can estimate the airspeed of the European Swallow to be roughly 11 meters per second (15 beats per second * 0.73 meters per beat).
		Airspeed can also be predicted using a published formula.
		The maximum speed the birds could maintain was 13–14 meters per second, and although the Lund study does not discuss cruising flight in particular, the most efficient flapping (7 beats per second) occurred at an airspeed in the range of 8–11 meters per second, with an amplitude of 90–100° (17–19 cm).

	Airspeed Oxford
		The first Oxfords joined the Central Flying School in November 1937, and by the time of the outbreak of World War 2 nearly 400 were in service.
		Production was subsequently stepped up, Airspeed building nearly four and a half thousand Oxfords, and with sub-contracts placed with de Havilland, Percival and Standard Motors the total number of Oxfords completed came to 8751.
		Although used most widely in its intended role as aircrew trainer, the Oxford gave valuable service on communications and anti-aircraft co-operation duties, and was also used in some numbers as an ambulance, particularly in the Middle East.

		Airspeed refers to the speed of an aircraft in relation to the air which may be different from groundspeed which is the speed of the aircraft in relation to the ground.
		The difference between airspeed and groundspeed is a function of the velocity and direction of the wind.
		Airspeed is important because it determines the aerodynamic characteristics of the aircraft.

		By the early 1930's de Havilland and Airspeed were competitors in the civil aircraft field.
		De Havilland, despite clinging to slow biplanes compared to Airspeed's faster, retractable undercarriage monoplanes, continued dominating the market due to their proven record, and their extensive sales, marketing and service forces.
		After the cancellation of the Airship Program in 1930, Tiltman and Norway jointly founded Airspeed, Ltd. The following year, despite the recession, the company was able to secure £5,000, well short of their target of £40,000.

	Biographical and Bibliographical note on Nevil Shute
		The Airspeed Oxford, a twin engined trainer, was used to train most bomber command pilots and 8751 were built (most under licence by other manufacturers).
		The peak for Shute was selling one of their aircraft, an Airspeed Envoy, to the King's Flight in 1937 but this had been at the cost of little home life with his wife and two daughters except for occasional weekend cruising in their yacht, Skerdmore.

	Henry Warren
		I believe that Warren is based on two real life characters: the author himself, and Lord Grimthorpe, the wealthy English nobleman who risked his fortune to keep Airspeed, Ltd. afloat, while Nevil risked his own reputation and freedom toward the same end.
		As Julian Smith remarked in his biography of Nevil Shute: Many of the motives and traits of Warren and Nevil Shute are interchangeable: Both are hard-working, imaginative men, who had great faith in English industry and in their mission to provide work.
		Henry Warren goes to prison for writing a falsely optimistic prospectus for his shipyard, and Shute, to keep Airspeed viable in 1934, had gained a reputation with his co-directors for reckless and unscrupulous optimism that came close to dishonesty.

		Shute's first novel was published in 1926 without making much impact and most of his energies during that decade were devoted to establishing his own aircraft plant, Airspeed, Ltd., in Portsmouth.
		The company prospered while his literary efforts were largely ignored, apart from the 1936 filming of The Lonely Road, based on his 1932 book.
		Finally, in 1938, he left Airspeed to devote his attentions to writing, leading to the novel Kindling, which he regarded as his first important book.
