	TSB Reports - Air 1994 - A94O0316
		The aircraft was not engaged in towing operations at the time of the accident, but the passenger occupied the rear seat of the aircraft when a glider was in tow at the commencement of the flight.
		When the aircraft stalls in a climbing turn, the high wing is at a greater angle of attack than the low wing and therefore stalls first, which results in a rolling motion toward the high wing, creating asymmetric lift and drag.
		The aircraft was operated under the legal custody and control of the DND through an official lease agreement with a waiver enabling the owner of the aircraft to be named on the certificate of registration.

		Bellanca tried in 1909 to build his own flying machine, but the attempt failed due to lack of money for an engine.
		Bellanca answered their call by building the Wright-Bellanca WB-2, a plane that swept the air races in 1926 and set a non-refueled endurance record of 51 hours.
		His company became established as a leading manufacturer, but he continued to specialize in quality aircraft rather than in quantity of production until his retirement in 1954, when he sold his interest in the company.

	RAYMER AIRCRAFT DESIGN : A CONCEPTUAL APPROACH
		An aircraft designer needs to be well versed in these and many other specialties, but will actually spend little time performing such analysis in all but the smallest companies.
		In the larger companies, aircraft analysis is done by the sizing and performance specialists with the assistance of experts in aerodynamics, weights, propulsion, stability, and other technical specialties.
		Conceptual aircraft design (i.e., starting with nothing but a set of performance criteria to be met) is a multi-variable problem in which the value of most of the variables depend on other variables.

		The Bellanca Cruisemaster was a sleek, fast, and yet affordable family plane from the golden days of aviation.
		It was not widely known that Bellanca Aircraft Company would soundproof their planes, so the interior sound levels are much lower inside then outside, which is superb for online flights.
		If you like unique aircraft and planes of the golden era and would like a total change of pace, and some nice planes to add to your hanger collection, then the Bellanca Cruisemaster might be for you.

	The Eldorado Radium Silver Express
		This aircraft was designed in 1928 by Giuseppe Bellanca, to fly non-stop from New York to Rome - which it never did - but the essential design survived as a passenger and freight aircraft.
		CF-AWR was built in 1935 by the Bellanca Aircraft Corporation of New Castle, Delaware, and was the first of five of its type used in Canada.
		The company became Eldorado Nuclear Limited in 1968, Eldorado Resources Limited in 1982, and later still it was merged with the Saskatchewan Mining and Development Corporation (in 1988) to form Cameco, now the largest uranium producer in the world, headquartered in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan.

	Bellanca Super Viking
		The nature and tradition of Bellanca was to produce an inexpensive, durable yet high performance aircraft and this was achieved by using old materials and tried and true construction techniques.
		Though it was an impressive aircraft it is odd that I remember it best for being the first aircraft I had seen with wing strobe lights.
		Bellanca fitted out their aircraft with a full panel including auto pilot as standard equipment.

	Bellanca CF
		Bellanca introduced the C.F., though, before the government authorized private airmail contracts and instituted the initiatives and regulations that would bring about the rise of the commercial aircraft industry.
		Bellanca built two airplanes in his native Sicily before constructing the Parasol in the back of his brother's grocery store in Brooklyn in 1911 and he then proceeded to test fly the aircraft, while at the same time, teaching himself how to fly.
		Instructor pilot Paul Kotze was ready to test-fly the aircraft on a marginal day of high winds and low ceilings but veteran pilot Bert Acosta arrived and announced his intention to fly the airplane because it was the one type that he had never flown.

	Mooney Aircraft Corporation
		Another small aircraft company, Monocoupe Aircraft, quickly recognized Mooney's genius for design and convinced him to join the company as vice-president and chief engineer, resulting in the development of its Model G “Dart” and the Monocoach.
		A Plexiglas “porthole” in the aircraft floor allowed the pilot to observe the nose-wheel, and the shock absorbers were fitted with nearly indestructible rubber disks.
		After building 290 Mites in Wichita, Al Mooney moved the company headquarters and manufacturing capability to Kerrville, Texas, in 1953 to be closer to the family's dairy farm (and to escape from the shadows of the rapidly expanding U.S. Air Force base).

	Mooney Mite History (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		The Dart was unmistakably an Al Mooney airplane, and when Culver Aircraft purchased the design, prototype and tooling for the Dart in 1938, Al followed right along with it.
		During the War, the Culver Company turned to the production of radio controlled target drones, and by the war's end had produced over 3000 of the PQ-8 (a drone version of the Cadet) and the PQ-14 (its successor) target drones.
		To celebrate his 25th anniversary as an aircraft designer, Al Mooney set an unofficial distance record of 1312 miles in a Mite.One drawback of the Mite was its limited carrying capacity.

	Systems of Designation
		During the period from 1909 to 1919, there was no organized system of designation for Army aircraft; all aircraft were operated by the designations of individual manufacturers.
		Aircraft were designated by a letter assigned to the current manufacturers.
		However, on March 10, 1923, it was decided that the emphasis should be placed on type of aircraft, not the manufacturer, so the manufacturer's letter was placed after the mission letter.

	Bellanca Decathlon 8KCAB N215RV
		The Citabria template is recognizable all the way back to the first few planes developed by this company but the first model that was eventually sold as the Citabria was the 7AC Champion also known as the Champ.
		Presumably the existence of a large fleet of existing planes is both a blessing and a curse to the current company.
		At the end of the day, though it may be the fact that the aluminum spar is not subject to a tedious and therefore costly AD inspection that is required of wooded spars at each annual, that will drive demand for retrofits marketed by American Champion.

	Charlie Levine and his flying machine
		By 1926, he was a multimillionaire and when Wright Aircraft, the earliest major airplane manufacture, sought to divest itself of a new model Wright monoplane, the Bellanca, Levine snapped up not only the plane, but the services of its designer, an immigrant Sicilian, Giuseppe Bellanca, and its pilot, Clarence Chamberlin.
		Columbia Aircraft was a tall, lanky, pilot from St. Louis named Charles "Slim" Lindbergh, who offered to buy the Bellanca monoplane for a proposed solo flight from New York to Paris.
		Levine, whose bravery bordered on foolhardiness, was not perturbed by the aircraft's aberrations.
