Boeing Commercial Aircraft Marketing Documentation (1952-1985) The 720, a derivative of the 707, followed, as did the 727 short/medium range aircraft (design work began in June 1959), 737 short range aircraft (announced February 1965), 747 wide-body long-range aircraft (announced April 1966), 757 advanced short/medium-range aircraft (announced early 1978), and 767 advanced wide-body medium-range aircraft (announced early 1978). For a short period (1928-34), Boeing was a subsidiary of the United Aircraft and Transport Co. (now United Technologies Corp.) but withdrew, with Stearman Aircraft and Boeing Aircraft of Canada, to form a new company under the Boeing name. The Boeing Airplane Co. was established in 1916 in Seattle, Washington. www.nasm.si.edu /research/arch/findaids/boeing/boeing_print.html   (265 words)

Bomber - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Perhaps the one meaningful distinction at present is the question of range: a bomber is generally a long-range aircraft capable of striking targets deep within enemy territory, whereas fighter bombers and attack aircraft are limited to 'theater' missions in and around the immediate area of battlefield combat. Strategic bombers are primarily designed for long-range strike missions against strategic targets such as supply bases, bridges, factories, and shipyards. Similarly, the Soviet Union fielded the intermediate-range Tupolev Tu-22M in the 1970s, but the Mach 3 bomber project came to naught. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Bomber   (265 words)

Air Force Technology - Tornado - Multirole Combat Fighter Tornado F3 Air Defence Variant has been designed to fulfil the requirement for a long-range, long-endurance fighter intercept aircraft. Tornado F3 aircraft were the first aircraft to be fitted with the short-range MBDA ASRAAM air-to-air missile which entered service in January 2001 and was declared ready for operational deployment in September 2002. Tornado GR 1 Interdictor/Strike (IDS) aircraft are in service with the German Air Force and Navy (290), Italian Air Force (90), UK Royal Air Force (186) and the Royal Saudi Air Force (96). www.airforce-technology.com /projects/tornado   (265 words)

AIRSAR Description Near range in the images is closest to the aircraft and far range is furthest away. where h is the altitude of the aircraft (typically about 8 km), R0 is near range in the image (typically 8-10 km), [[Delta]]R is the size of the (slant) range pixels in meters and i is the line number of the object in the image. Ground range is a measure of the distance of the object from a point directly below the aircraft. southport.jpl.nasa.gov /desc/AIRSdesc.html   (1222 words)

F-16I The aircraft are equipped with FLIR (forward-looking infrared) viewers, for target designation, and features increased external fuel capacity in conformal fuel tanks, increasing the aircraft range to 800 miles (1,500 km). The aircraft can be distinguished by its removable conformal fuel tanks (CFTs), which add 2,271 litres of fuel to the aircraft's internal load, increasing mission range and endurance and reducing dependence on inflight-refuelling aircraft. It is expected that the Israelis will equip the F-16s with the advanced RAFAEL Derby medium-range air-to-air missile, RAFAEL Python-4 and Python-5 short-range air-to-air missile. www.israeli-weapons.com /weapons/aircraft/f-16i/F-16I.html   (1222 words)

Navaids V.O.R(VHF Omni Directional Range) is a ground-based navaid which gives to the aircraft pilot the capability to know the aircraft azimuth site È from the magnetic North and needle VOR, independently from the route and in regard with aircraft receiver. VOR is a transmitter operating in the frequency range of 108-118MHz. Marker beacons are VHF transmitters operating at 75 MHz.The Outer Marker (OM) is used to indicate that an aircraft should intercept the glide path when over the transmitter. www.hcaa-eleng.gr /en/systems/navaids_en.html   (1222 words)

education.htm The VOR receiver on board the aircraft measures the phase difference between the two signals to determine the azimuth angle of the aircraft in relations to the VOR transmitter. As VHF transmission are line of sight, low- flying aircraft were unable to receive the VOR signal if they were flying below the horizon. The elapse time between the interrogation and the receipt of the reply, which is the range, is electronically calculated. www.aerothai.com /education.htm   (1222 words)

FLUG REVUE update: Week ending July 25, 2004 Since the first EVS was installed on an in-service Air Force C-37A aircraft in May 2002, Gulfstream has installed another 56 in the large-cabin, ultra-long-range GV; 15 in the large-cabin, long-range GIV-SP; 8 in the large-cabin, long-range G400; and 2 in the large-cabin, mid-range G300 aircraft. The aircraft are to transferred to Germany from the autumn of 2005 to the spring of 2006, and will equip Naval Aviation Wing 3. The aircraft is scheduled for delivery to the Japan Air Self Defense Force in the September 2004 timeframe. www.flug-revue.rotor.com /FRNews1/FRNews04/FR040725.htm   (1222 words)

VOR Navigation If the 165° radial were set into the VOR, the FROM flag would properly show, because the aircraft is away from the Omni on that radial. A one-line recap: to know whether you are flying TO or FROM an Omni, the OBS setting must be approximately the same as the aircraft heading. If the OBS is rotated until the needle centers and the FROM flag shows, it will always show the correct radial from the Omni that the aircraft is on regardless of the aircraft heading. www.navfltsm.addr.com /vor-nav-pt1.htm   (1222 words)

FLUG REVUE update: Week ending March 21, 2004 In its 2.45-hour mission, the new aircraft successfully performed a range of systems validation tests and started the expansion of its flight envelope. As is already known, the Office of the Prosecutor General of the Swiss Confederation is considering extending its investigations relating to the loss of a Crossair aircraft near Bassersdorf, Switzerland in November 2001 to individual persons. The first two aircraft were recently integrated into the Austrian fleet, and will be introduced to the public on 17 March 2004 within a ceremony to be held at the Austrian Technical base. www.flug-revue.rotor.com /FRNews1/FRNews04/FR040321.htm   (1222 words)

De Havilland Mosquito Long range day fighter, used mainly against german bombers and maritime aircraft, and later against V-1 cruise missiles, with a massive firepower of four 20mm guns and four machine guns, all in the nose, and a total of 9200 rounds and bullets. There were missions that no other aircraft could perform, like precision bombardment of far targets located among the dense occupied population of european cities, which of course could not be mass bombed like german cities. In 1934 De Havilland built the wooden Comet racer aircraft, which won the 11,000 mile England-Australia air race. www.2worldwar2.com /mosquito.htm   (1222 words)

aeprojectreport.doc Interceptor should have a range of 1000 miles, be controllable from a launch/control aircraft such as a modified 777, and have a ceiling of over 75,000 feet. To increase the range without significantly increasing the size of the aircraft, it may be possible to boost the fuel fraction to.45, which would increase the maximum gross weight to 10,500 lbs and thus increase the range of the interceptor to 317 miles at 80,000 feet at a speed of Mach 4. Carrier aircraft would be a modified cargo aircraft and would consist of a bay area which carries the aircraft and a rack system which lowers the aircraft into the airstream, allowing the engine to be lit. www.prism.gatech.edu /~gtg079h/AE1350/Noweb/aeprojectreport.doc   (1155 words)

Articles - Bomber Perhaps the one meaningful distinction at present is the question of range: a bomber is generally a long-range aircraft capable of striking targets deep within enemy territory, whereas fighter bombers and attack aircraft are limited to 'theater' missions in and around the immediate area of battlefield combat. Tactical bombers are smaller aircraft that operate at shorter range, typically along with troops on the ground. Even that distinction is muddied by the availability of aerial refueling, which greatly increases the potential radius of combat operations. www.storegolf.com /articles/Bomber   (1155 words)

IHS ESDU: Data Item 74018 ESDU 74018 gives simple formulae, derived from an analysis of a wide range of aircraft operating data, that enable still-air estimates of range, fuel used, and time based on cruise performance to be adjusted for the net loss of energy during climb (including acceleration) and during descent (including deceleration). 74018: Lost range, fuel and time due to climb and descent: aircraft with turbo-jet and turbo-fan engines. The method, suitable for project estimates of block distance, fuel and time, applies to stages in which climb and descent are not substantial portions of flight and where they are flown at small angles and at equivalent airspeeds similar to that in cruise. www.esdu.com /graphics/dataitem/74018a.htm   (136 words)

Shackleton Project Interesting to note that scale aircraft modeling was part of the Shackleton story from the start - AVRO presented (what apears to be) 1/144 scale models of the aircraft to the SAAF. In 1946 the Royal Air Force realized that not one of the landplanes then in use for long range maritime reconnaissance, were actually designed for the role. The aircraft also contributed considerably towards peace - being responsible for the safe-guarding of the shipping lanes around South Africa, during the Cold War. www.shackletonproject.co.za /saaf.html   (136 words)

guided missile on Encyclopedia.com Air-to-air missiles are fired by aircraft at enemy aircraft and are often guided by self-contained controls that detect and target the missile toward heat sources. Surface-to-air missiles, such as the U.S. Patriot missile, operate against aircraft or other missiles. Missiles may be aerodynamic, i.e., controlled by aerodynamic surfaces and following a straight-line trajectory to the target, or ballistic, i.e., powered during flight and following a parabolic trajectory. www.encyclopedia.com /html/g1/guidedmi.asp   (136 words)

II - OVERVIEW: TYPES OF AIRCRAFT Important categories include the size and warload capacity of the aircraft, which can range across several orders of magnitude, as well as the vintage of aircraft, since more recent variant typically possess greater resistance to hostile action. Older versions equipped with long-range cruise missiles include the Russian Bear and American B-52, while newer penetrating bombers armed with short range air-launched ballistic missiles and gravity weapons include the Russian Backfire and Blackjack, and the American B-1B and B-2. Aircraft in this category generally carry anywhere from 1 to 2 tons of ordnance to a combat radius of from 300 to 700 kilometers at supersonic speeds. www.fas.org /spp/aircraft/part02.htm   (136 words)

McDonnell F-4 Phantom II The F-4 Phantom II (simply "F-4 Phantom" after 1990) is a two-place (tandem), supersonic, long-range, all-weather fighter-bomber built by (originally McDonnell Aircraft Corporation) McDonnell Douglas Corporation. Some aircraft, however, remained in service aboard the Midway class ships, as their decks and hangars were too small to handle the much larger F-14. Its primary mission capabilities are: long range, high-altitude intercepts utilizing air-to-air missiles as primary armament; long-range attack missions utilizing conventional or nuclear weapons as a primary armament; and close air support missions utilizing a choice of bombs, rockets and missiles as primary armament. users.bart.nl /users/wbergmns/info/f4.htm   (689 words)

II - OVERVIEW: TYPES OF AIRCRAFT These standards, which are readily applicable to combat aircraft, (1) encompass virtually the entire range of military combat aircraft, down to some the smallest trainers. Aircraft in this category generally carry anywhere from 1 to 2 tons of ordnance to a combat radius of from 300 to 700 kilometers at supersonic speeds. Although these aircraft typically lack the advanced electronic and other countermeasures needed to survive in a high-threat environment, they continue to pose a significant challenge to less sophisticated foes lacking in modern air-defenses, or deprived of air defenses by combat. www.fas.org /spp/aircraft/part02.htm   (689 words)

SF3D / Ma.K ZbV3000 Gaming So, what we do, is to use the range between the current firing unit, and the target of the ground attack aircraft that is the current target of the firer. However, as ground attack aircraft aren't placed on the map, there can be a bit of a discussion as to what this range really is. In the rules, it states that in the mutual combat phase, ground attack aircraft can be attacked by ground units at normal range modifiers. staff.bus.bton.ac.uk /fesg/sf3d/rules/gaarange.html   (281 words)

List of military aircraft of Germany - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Simultaneously, another long range aircraft was in the development stage, Projekt 1061, which was to be powered by four individual engines, and have a range of 20000 km (12428 miles). However, since this aircraft wasn't supposed to be ready before 1946, it was decided that the Ju 290, He 177 and the Ju 390 should be produced in the interim to provide maritime reconnaissance. The initial requirements were for a 20000 km (12428 miles) range, capability for military and civilian roles, at least a 5000 kg (11023 lb) bomb load to be carried in an internal bomb bay, smaller bombs to be carried externally on under-wing pylons and to have a very clean airframe. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/List_of_military_aircraft_of_Germany   (281 words)
