	Victory Aviation - Aircraft Management
		Perhaps you're considering aircraft ownership for the first time, or are not fully satisfied with your current aircraft management firm.
		While we recognize that flight departments may in some cases be preferable to managed aircraft, we also know that an aircraft utilized less than 300 hours annually is unlikely to be cost-effective to the owner.
		From aircraft selection and acquisition, to crew selection, training, maintenance, payroll, regulatory compliance, operational summaries and accounting, Victory does it all.

		The fuselage, wing, and empennage were strengthened to enable the aircraft to carry an increased offensive weapons load and to handle the stresses of low-altitude combat missions flown at high speeds.

		The surprise attack was conceived by Japanese Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto, with a strking force of 353 Japanese aircraft led by Commander Mitsuo Fuchida.
		Aircraft losses were 188 destroyed and 159 damaged, the majority hit before they had a chance to take off.
		The Japanese success was overwhelming, but not complete; as fate would have it, U.S. aircraft carriers that were to be primary targets in the attack were absent from the harbor.

		Remarks by Bill Ewing: "Built by Victory Aircraft, Malton, Ontario, in 1944, this aircraft was given to a group in Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ontario for an attempt to set up a museum there, but the idea collapsed and the Lanc was barged across the lake to Oshawa, Ontario.
		The aircraft was purchased by Doug Arnold of England after an attempt to acquire the aircraft by the Canadian Warplane Heritage fell through.
		This aircraft was almost finished an extensive refurbishing in England when a heavy snow collapsed the hangar roof onto it, damaging all the top surfaces and the main spars.

		The aircraft belonging to the U.S. Army Air Corps were parked in groups as defense against possible saboteurs at Hickam, Wheeler, and Bellows airfields.
		These were thought to be either aircraft flying in from the carrier USS Enterprise or an anticipated flight of B-17s from the mainland, so no action was taken.
		Although the U.S. Pacific Fleet was shattered, its aircraft carriers (not in port at the time of the attack) were still afloat and Pearl Harbor was surprisingly intact.

	Technical Aspects of the Avro CF-105 Arrow
		They also decided to design and manufacture these aircraft in Canada, as a hard lesson was learned during World War II when the Canadian government found that it was low on the priority list for new equipment and was dependant upon other countries for the supply of first line aircraft.
		This situation arises because the elevators are closer to the front of the aircraft on the delta wing design and must be deflected through a greater angle to be effective (causing drag), than if they were located further back (the delta wing design does not have a tail structure to support the elevators).
		The damping system was duplicated in yaw (side-to-side movement of aircraft's nose), however, as this was the critical (directional) axis and of major importance to the safety of the airplane in the high speed range.

	The Avro CF-105 Arrow
		The new aircraft would be armed only with missiles stored in an internal weapons bay, and would use a sophisticated radar fire-control system to allow collision-course intercepts, instead of tail-chase pursuit.
		Delta winged aircraft tend to be "hot" on landing, and so a drag chute was fitted in the tail cone.
		Wind tunnel tests were used to refine the aircraft's aerodynamics, which were tuned by the application of the "area rule" contour.

	Europe Secures Victory Over Aircraft Noise
		The deal is an important victory for the European Union in the face of increasing pressure from citizens to cut aircraft noise.
		The final deal allows the noisiest planes to be restricted, and if necessary withdrawn, at certain times of day or under certain conditions on an airport-by-airport basis, once a preliminary assessment looking at the noise mitigation options has been carried out.
		The impact of the agreement on the long standing dispute over hushkitted aircraft remains to be seen, but the European Commission may be able to use it to break the current deadlock between the European Union and the United States.

		When Great Britain needed an aircraft factory out of reach of German air attack during World War II, the plant was declared a Crown Corporation and renamed "Victory Aircraft." During the war, its employees turned out 430 Lancaster bombers and more than 3,000 Anson utility aircraft for the Royal Air Force.
		As modern military aircraft became more technologically advanced, and thus more expensive, they needed to be capable of carrying out multiple missions to justify costs.
		DeHavilland Aircraft of Canada, the fourth owner of the facility, entered into a joint venture with Douglas to manufacture wings and tail assemblies for the DC-9 jetliner.
