	Aircraft
		Aircraft were used on occasion to drop supplies to cut-off or besieged forces, but the methods were primitive in the extreme: bags of food, medical supplies, or munitions were dropped from bomb racks or simply heaved over the side.
		Beginning in the 1920s, steady advances in aircraft performance had been produced by improved structures and drag-reduction technologies and by more powerful, supercharged engines, but by the early 1930s it had become apparent to a handful of farsighted engineers that speeds would soon be possible which would exceed the capabilities of reciprocating engines and propellers.
		Many aircraft of this generation employed variable-geometry wings, permitting the amount of sweep to be changed in flight to obtain optimal performance for a given speed.

	George Miles
		GEORGE MILES, the aircraft designer and test pilot who has died aged 88, was a member of the remarkable Miles aviation family.
		George Miles was involved in the designs of the Messenger (one of which was used by Field Marshal Montgomery), Monitor, Gemini, Aerovan and Merchantman aircraft.
		Among the aircraft which he helped to build for them was the Ambassador, known to airline passengers as the British European Airways Elizabethan.

		Division presidents were also able to obtain aircraft on a regular basis, however some stated that they had to vary their schedule to accommodate existing schedules.
		Aircraft range should be at least 1,800 nautical miles, 30 percent greater that the Falcon 100.
		An aircraft type the same as one currently operated or at least one made by the same manufacturer should be sought to reduce technician and pilot complexity and scheduling problems.

	Miles M.52
		The British Miles Aircraft[?] company was responsible for a range of aircraft right back to the early days of flight, but their name is relatively unknown, not being associated with any of the great classic designs.
		The Bell Aircraft company was given all of the drawings and research on the M.52, but the US renegued on the agreement and no data was forthcoming in return.
		Unbeknownst to Miles, Bell had already started construction of a rocket powered supersonic design of their own, but were battling the problem of control.

	Miles M.52 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Miles M.52 was a British supersonic research aircraft project which was undertaken in top secret conditions between 1942 and 1945.
		The pilot sat in a small cockpit inside the shock cone in the nose of the aircraft, and in an emergency the entire area would be thrown free of the aircraft using explosive bolts.
		The Bell Aircraft company was given all of the drawings and research on the M.52, but the US reneged on the agreement and no data was forthcoming in return.

		Since air temperature and composition varies significantly with altitude, mach numbers for aircraft are related to the speed of sound at sea level.
		The project resulted in the development of the prototype Miles M.52 aircraft, which was designed to reach 1000 mph (1600 km/h) at 36,000 feet (11 km) in 1 minute 30 seconds.
		Later experimentation on the Miles M.52 design proved that the aircraft would indeed have broken the sound barrier, with an unmanned 3/10 scale replica of the M.52 achieving Mach 1.5 in October 1948.

		F.G. Miles, one of the sons of a laundry owner at nearby Portslade decided that his future was to be in aviation.
		Miles then acquired an Avro Baby biplane, a number of Avro 504K's and other assorted airframes, and then decided that the Baby could be suitably modified to make a really aerobatic, sporty, aeroplane this became the Southern Martlet, one of which survives to this day in flying condition, at Old Warden with the Shuttleworth Trust.
		By then Miles had decided that the way forward was with low wing, cantilever, monoplanes, to be built of wood and so the Miles Hawk was born - the prototype making its first flight, from Woodley, on 29th March 1933.

		Unless an aircraft is operating within Class A airspace or omission is requested by the pilot, issue traffic advisories to all aircraft (IFR or VFR) on your frequency when in your judgment their proximity may diminish to less than the applicable separation minima.
		Unless advised by other aircraft that they are also responding to a TCAS RA, do not assume that other aircraft in the proximity of the responding aircraft are involved in the RA maneuver or are aware of the responding aircraft's intended maneuvers.
		Once the responding aircraft has begun a maneuver in response to an RA, the controller is not responsible for providing standard separation between the aircraft that is responding to an RA and any other aircraft, airspace, terrain or obstructions.

	Past Employees of Miles Aircraft
		My late father worked for Miles Aircraft at Woodley and, although I don't have the full story, I do know that he thoroughly enjoyed his days with the family company.
		He was posted (with Miles Aircraft) to Montrose in Scotland and, if my memory serves me, also spent time at South Cerney and Tern Hill, and was then called-up to join the Army.
		I worked at Shoreham for F G Miles during 1955, in the design drawing office, mainly on the M100 doing design and stress work, also sub contract work on the SR177.

		The primary goal of this plane was to study the flight characteristics of swept wings at subsonic speeds and provide data for the Comet jet-powered airliner.
		This aircraft was also equipped with new automatic slats on the wing leading edges and powered controls to improve controllability at higher speeds.
		Unfortunately, this aircraft was lost in a tragic crash on 27 September 1946 that killed pilot Geoffrey de Havilland, Jr., son of the company's founder.

		Ton-miles are computed by multiplying the revenue aircraft miles flown (410) on each flight stage by the number of tons transported on that stage.
		Revenue aircraft miles flown are computed based on the airport pairs between which service is actually performed; miles are generated from the data for scheduled aircraft departures (Code 520) times the inter-airport distances (Code 501).
		The elapsed time, computed from the moment the aircraft first moves under its own power from the boarding ramp at one airport to the time it comes to rest at the ramp for the next point of landing.

		The AC-130A on display was modified at Wright-Patterson AFB by the Aircraft Modification Division of the 4950th Test Wing as the prototype for the gunship version and was initially equipped with four 20mm and four 7.62 multi-barrel guns, a searchlight, and target sensors.
		This aircraft was flown on Nov. 18, 1972, by Major Colin A. Clarke on a nine-hour rescue support mission in Southeast Asia for which he was awarded the Air Force Cross, the Air Force's second highest award for valor in combat.
		The initial plan called for converting eight aircraft, two prototypes (69-6567 and 69-6568) and six operational planes (69-6569 to 69-6574) for delivery not later than 1 January 1972 since the gunships were needed for Commando Hunt VII - interdiction of enemy trucks and sampans moving through the panhandle of Laos (Steel Tiger area).

		Miles' most famous aircraft were the Master and Magister trainers for the RAF, and the target tugs, Martinet and Monitor.
		There are some differences between the two aircraft: the Martinet was longer than the Master Mk.2 to counter the weight of the target towing equipment, the Martinet was heavier than the Master Mk.2, the Martinet was slower than the Master Mk.2, the and the Martinet canopy was different.
