	Aerial Oddities
		This strange aircraft was the General Aircraft GAL/56.
		It was a tailless experimental glider which arrived at the Royal Aircraft Establishment, Farnborough in the spring of 1946.
		By August 1947 the tests were completed at the R.A.E. and the aircraft was flown to nearby Lasham where General Aircraft's chief test pilot, Robert Kronfeld was to repeat some of the tests for his own benefit.

	Flying wings
		If the center section of the wing stalls, the tip airfoils are not near the angle to stall.
		A great deal of control power can be generated by a relatively small surface.
		By staggering the surface aft (like Blohm and Voss did), you can generate a good deal of longitudinal control as well.

	Tailless and Canard Experimental Aircraft of the RAF
		It is this book that allowed me to learn about some of the most interesting experimental aircraft in the RAF history, those in the series of tailless and canard configuration experiments.
		Between 1941 and 1944, Miles Aircraft pursued the concept of tandem-wing aircraft, which resulted in development of the M.35 and M.39 Libellula.
		Originally there were to be six aircraft of the GAL 56 series, with different wing angles and control configurations, but in the end only three were made and flown, the first in November 1944.

	Worst aircraft of WW2? (Continued) - Page 51 - Aircraft of World War II - Warbird Forums
		At this point in time, "they were tired of being out-flown by the unexpected MIG-15, and had to some extent tried to rectify things by throwing out all they could from their F-80s, F-84s, F-86s, and F9Fs to get more performance".
		The Walter rocket motor weighed a fraction of a normal fighter engine and propelled the aircraft to 30,000 ft in about 3 mins to make combat with the bombers - which was the main objective.
		I think the Boomerang did shoot down one Zero but the Boomerang was a close support aircraft as its limitations as an air to air fighter was realized early in its career.

	Dixie Wing, Commemorative Air Force
		In January of 1951, this aircraft was dropped from the USAF inventory and transferred to Canada under the Mutual Defense Assistance Program.
		In December of that year she was repainted with invasion stripes and coded VFG, and at this time the members referred to the aircraft* as "Old Red Nose." She was officially donated to the CAF in 1977 and became part of the collection of the American Airpower Heritage Flying Museum in 1991.
		The P-51 Mustang's combat record is generally considered to consist of: 4,950 aerial victories, and 4,131 ground kills resulting in an 11:1 "kill ratio".

	Bell XP-83 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		It was redesigned as a long-range escort fighter, retaining the general layout of the P-59 Airacomet.
		The two General Electric J33-GE-5 turbojet engines were located in each wing root, which left the large and bulky fuselage free for fuel tanks and weaponry.
		The first prototype was used in 1946 as a ramjet testbed, and on 14 September one of the ramjets caught fire - the pilot Chalmers "Slick" Goodlin and engineer Charles Fay had to parachute out.

		The general assessment is that the PA is involved in a massive effort to amass stocks of illegal weapons and ammunition to enable it to have an extended fighting capability.
		The American call for reforms corresponded with a general feeling on the Palestinian street that the security forces and their chiefs, recipients of almost half of the PA’s budget, have been riddled with corruption and have failed the people.
		The general atmosphere in the PA is that if attacked by Israel, the Palestinian people would be called to fight for their survival using all available means.

	Unreal Aircraft - Beating Gravity - Lockheed A-11, A-12, SR-71 and YF-12A Blackbird
		Lockheed were asked to design a jet aircraft which would be at home for long periods in a domain which had usually only been visited briefly by rocket planes.
		The new aircraft would have to be capable of handling prolonged exposure to high altitude and high temperatures.
		Some general heat reduction was achieved by building chordwise corrugations into the wings to accommodate expansion and increase the area available to dissipate heat.

	Westland Wapiti in Indian Air Force Service - Polly Singh
		This was later traced to an omission in construction of a foot and half of a fuselage bay (as compared to the wind tunnel model) thereby reducing the tail volume of the rudder and its lever arm.
		As the drawings were completed, no change was made to the first 25 aircraft already planned, and the rudder and fin of the aircraft was to grow continuously in subsequent batches until from the original ‘Nine Ack’ configuration emerged the large tail so characteristic of later Wapitis.
		The aircraft are K1290 (Mk IIA ex 27 Squadron RAF Kohat), J9483 (Mk IIA ex 28 Squadron RAF, Ambala) and J9755 (Mk V ex 11Squadron RAF at Peshawar).

		The fund invests a portion of the state's mineral revenue, including revenue from the Trans-Alaskan Pipeline System, "to benefit all generations of Alaskans." In March 2005, the fund's value was over $30 billion.
		Manufacturing is limited, with most foodstuffs and general goods imported from elsewhere.
		The smallest towns and villages must rely on scheduled or chartered Bush flying services using general aviation aircraft such as the Cessna Caravan, the most popular aircraft in use in the state.

		When the General Dynamics design was chosen the other selectee on merit, Boeing was no doubt a bit miffed that its loss was caused by USAF changing the rules in mid-competition.
		General Dynamics and Northrop were asked to build prototypes, which could be evaluated with no promise of a follow-on production contract.
		The first aircraft upgraded under CCIP were delivered to combat units in December 2001 (1).

		The oldest of these aircraft are 12 DC-9s that were purchased secondhand from various airlines in the early 1980s and then converted to fit the Navy's needs.
		A large cargo door was added to each aircraft, which made it possible to convert from a passenger to a cargo configuration easily or to have a mix of both.
		Because this is a commercial-off-the-shelf aircraft, and because the value for potential resale is higher, it made sense to accept FAA certification.

		Manufactured by Aviat Aircraft of Afton, Wyoming, the latest arc of the line’s fortunes began with the company’s 1996 purchase by Stuart Horn, and has now been redrawn with the debut of the newest model, the S-2C, which was introduced this year.
		Since buying Aviat Aircraft in 1996, Horn has installed new management, introduced new methodology (he has a new lawyer and accountant), and perhaps most significantly, got Curtis Pitts to design the S-2C, by “expressing the desire to do new things,” as Eddie Saurenman, company demo pilot and product development specialist put it.
		We were minutes from Lake Parker when a chilling transmission came over the radio: All inbound aircraft were to hold at Lake Parker and circuit the lake until a backup at the airport caused by one of the Sun series air races ended.

		Prior to GPS and the latest generation of inertial systems, when an aircraft was asked to fly a track, it would be on the correct route, with plus or minus up to 5 nautical miles either side, particularly over desertic environments (ie, pacific or atlantic for the greater part!).
		With today’s aircraft flying precisely the track requested, it has been discovered (particularly over the atlantic, where the airways are used to pretty much full capacity) that it has generated issues of a new kind.
		Aircraft manufacturers all recommend a “firm” contact with the runway, ensuring optimal deployment of the braking systems, so as a passenger, you should not be surprised if you come back to earth with a (small) bump.

		Power is simply the rate at which energy is generated (i.e., gathered or converted into a useful form by a power plant, reactor or engine) or consumed.
		In general, a realistic treatment of relativity is inappropriate for a game book, so it's usually a good idea to avoid dropping the term.
		It is interesting to note, however, that a character who travels near the speed of light does not age as quickly as one who stays put, because time appears to pass more slowly to him.

		The commanding general of the US Army Air Corps, H. 'Hap' Arnold, studied the plans of the Model 32 in January 1939 and told Laddon to go ahead, and "build a bomber that will fly the skin off any rivals." Consolidated received a contract for the Model 32, designated XB-24, on 30 March 1939.
		To enter the aircraft the usual drill was to flick a small hydraulic lever on the right side of the bay.
		From spring 1944 all five plants delivered aircraft to USAAF service depots where any of a wide range of tail armament and equipment schemes could be installed according to the destination theatre.

		The additional aircraft are used as backups in case of problems with the primary aircraft.
		Low wing-loading (the ratio of aircraft weight to its wing area) is a vital factor in maneuverability and, combined with the high thrust-to-weight ratio, enables the aircraft to turn tightly without losing airspeed.
		In the winter of 2004, the aircraft was sold to a collector and warbird enthusiast in central New Jersey, Tom Duffy.

	The Grumman Avenger TBF & TBM WWII US Navy Torpedo bomber.
		Indeed, at first sight the Avenger could well have been a scaled-up Wildcat, but the resemblance had to be confined to external contour owing to its sheer size and r6le, and I hardly expected this torpedo-bomber to offer in the air any of the exhilaration that I had experienced with its smaller stablemate.
		The cowl gills and the oil cooler shutters were retained fully open throughout all ground running, the revs being steadily increased to 1800, at which the two-speed supercharger was exercised, the operation of the constant-speed propeller checked and the magnetos tested.
		Relative lack of inanoeuvrability was to be expected in an aircraft of its size and purpose, but then, it was not designed to turn with a Zero-Sen but to provide a rock-steady platform for launching a torpedo.

		The new generation of additive packages for gasolines include components that will dissolve existing carbon deposits, and have been shown to improve fuel economy, NOx emissions, and driveability [49,50,111].
		There was a 12% increase in cruising speed, 40% increase in rate of climb, 20% increase in ceiling, and 40% increase in payload for a DC-3, if the fuel went from 87 to 100 Octane, and further increases if the engine could handle 100+ PN fuel [134].
		A 12 cylinder Allison aircraft engine was operated on a 60% blend of triptane (2,2,3-trimethylbutane) in 100 octane leaded gasoline to produce 2500hp when the rated take-off horsepower with 100 octane leaded was 1500hp [14].
