Early Flight
By Alex "Right wing," "Check." "Left wing," "Check." "Elevator," "Check." "Hawkeye this is the control tower, you are safe for takeoff." You are about to learn about the dawn of aviation and the pioneers of flight! In 1894, Otto Linienthal developed his first hang glider. He considered it the safest glider of its kind. Unfortunately, he met his death during a flight on the same glider. Wilbur Wright was born on April 16 of 1867. Orville was born four years later on August 19, 1871. The brothers were very close, and even sounded the same! They got interested in flight when their dad brought home a rubber band "flying machine." The brothers started by watching birds in flight. Then they went to a remote beach in Kitty Hawk, North Carolina. They tested gliders and gained knowledge with every flight. The next step was to find an engine that was powerful and light. They also had to build a propeller to get the plane in the air. Finally on Thursday, December 17 the Wright Flyer was in the air! The flight lasted only 12 seconds, but launched the beginning of flight. There were many other famous planes in the early history of flight. The Wright EX "Vin Fiz" was the first plane to make a transcontinental flight. William Randolph Hearst flew the plane. The name "Vin Club Email address:moihighschoolkabarakaviationclub@yahoo.com Page 17

Fiz" came from a soda company that sponsored the plane. The Lockheed Vega was flown by Amelia Earhart. She had many record-breaking flights in this plane. The Lockheed Vega was the perfect plane for Earhart's love to fly. Amelia Earhart flew from California to Hawaii in her Lockheed Vega. She was the first person to complete this trip! She also carried, for the first time in the world, a two-way radiotelephone. In 1931 Charles and Anne Lindbergh flew to the Orient. They were the first people to fly as far east as the Orient. Ever since the Wright brothers made their first flight the world has been buzzing with aircraft. Oh, speaking of the Wright brothers, please remember, two wrongs don't make a right but, two Wrights make an airplane!

Types of Airplanes:
Modern airplanes are divided into five main types: 1. Commercial Transport Planes 2. General Aviation Planes 3. Military Planes 4. Sea Planes 5. Special Purpose Planes Commercial transport planes are large planes used for carrying passengers and sometimes cargo (also called airliners). Four-engine jets are more powerful than most airliners. That s because most airliners only travel 500 to 600 miles per hour or 805 to 966 kilometers per hour, and four-engine jets can travel faster and farther. The Boeing 747 is a four-engine jet that unlike most airliners, can carry 1. 1,000 passengers 2. Less than 200 passengers 3. More than 400 passengers 4. 50 passengers It can also carry six galleys (kitchens), twelve washrooms, and more than 47,000 gallons or 178,000 liters of fuel. In 1969, the Boeing 747 became the largest jet in the world. This airliner can fly 6,495 miles or 10,475 kilometers non-stop. That s farther than the distance between New York City and Tokyo.

Four-engine jets are not the only kind of commercial transport planes. There are also three-engine jets and twin-engine jets. As you probably can imagine, three-engine jets don t travel as far as four-engine jets and need less runway to take-off and land. But some three-engine jets can carry as many passengers as four-engine jets. Twin-engine jets are smaller than four or three-engine jets, but 90% of airliners today are twin-engine jets. Here s a question for you: Why do you think twin-engine jets are used the most? 1. Because they have less engine failures than three or four-engine jets 2. Because they cost less money to operate 3. Because people like the way they look Now let s learn a little bit about general aviation planes. Most general aviation planes have two to six seats, and one engine. General aviation planes are used for many purposes. Sometimes people use them to teach students how to fly a plane, or they are used to take pictures from a high-up view. Sometimes people use them for transportation, and sometimes people use them for enjoyment. Some farmers use them for planting seeds, checking soil erosion, and counting livestock. Military planes, as you probably know, are planes used by the military. Most military planes are used to attack enemies on the ground or in the air. Some military planes are used to carry equipment and soldiers to bases or battlefields. Sea planes are divided into three types: 1. Float Planes 2. Flying Boats 3. Amphibians Float planes have big floats instead of wheels. Flying boats are shaped like the hull of a boat, so they can stay on the water. Amphibians are: 1. Shaped like frogs 2. Able to go on land and water

Club Email address:moihighschoolkabarakaviationclub@yahoo.com

3. Able to fly without any wings

2011

Special purpose planes are planes that have special purposes such as performing tricks in shows or spraying chemicals on crops. Some amphibians also have a special purpose. They are used for putting out forest fires. They fly just above the lakes and ponds and suck up water so they can later spray it on forest fires. So, there are a lot of different types of airplanes, and as we have learned, it s because there are a lot of different jobs for airplanes to do.

seaplane, and that's what you're going to learn about.

2011

There are different kinds of seaplanes. Floatplanes use boat floats (called pontoons) at the bottom to float on water. Only the pontoons of a floatplane touch the water. The fuselage stays above the water. Floatplanes are good fishing planes, because the boat floats at the bottom hang out to the side so you can stand on them. They are also good rescue planes because they can go on water to save people from drowning. And of course, like most planes they are good for sightseeing. There are also flying boats. A flying boat stays afloat on its watertight fuselage, which acts like a ship's hull in the water. Most flying boats also have small floats on their wings to keep them stable. Flying boats are cool because they act like sleds in the water, because they just slide through the water when they land. There are also amphibians that can land on water or land. Amphibians can be either floatplanes or flying boats. They are special because in addition to being able to float on water they have retractable wheels for landing on, well land. These planes are very versatile because you could go fishing and then mountain climbing on the same plane. There have been some really famous flying boats. Howard Hughes (a famous pilot and aircraft designer) built a plane called the Hughes H-4 Hercules. It was nicknamed the Spruce Goose (even though it was made of birch), and is the largest flying boat ever built. The Spruce Goose was built to hold 792 people. Hughes flew the plane only once in 1947. Today you can see the plane in McMinnville, Oregon where it is on display. The Spruce Goose was important because it showed that the principles which make flight possible are not limited by the size of the aircraft. So now you know about amphibians, flying boats, and floatplanes.

Helicopters
By Zach A helicopter is a type of aircraft that uses spinning blades called rotors to fly. A rotor is a huge propeller that is pointed straight up Club Email address:moihighschoolkabarakaviationclub@yahoo.com Page 21

AVIATION CLUB CONSTITUTION


into the air. When the helicopter s engine makes the rotor spin fast enough, the helicopter lifts off the ground.

2011

There is one main problem that makes helicopters complicated torque. Torque is when the rotors are spinning fast and the main body of the helicopter wants to spin the other direction. The most basic solution to torque is a small rotor on the back of the helicopter called the tail rotor. This small rotor spins and pushes the body of the helicopter in a direction opposite of the torque. Another solution is tandem rotors. In this approach there are two large rotors and they each spin in a different direction. This allows the torque of the two rotors to equal each other out. Either of these approaches allows the helicopter to fly straight. When on the ground, helicopters rest on either wheels or skids. Skids are mostly used because they weigh less than wheels. On big helicopters wheels are used and not skids. Why? Guess. Why do you think that on bigger helicopters wheels are used instead of skids?

They look cooler For convenience and they hold more weight Wheels cost less

Most helicopters can fly about 200 to 350 miles per hour or 322 to 563 kilometers per hour. The farthest most helicopters can travel on one tank of fuel is 600 miles or 966 kilometers. This is not as fast as a plane but you don't want helicopters to go too fast. They aren't used for speed. They're used for hovering, landing in small places, and other things planes can't do. Helicopters have many benefits. They go much faster than cars, so they are an obvious way to get from place to place quickly. Since they can land in places that airplanes cannot, business people often use them for convenience. Helicopters are great for rescuing, because they can land in small spots. Sometimes helicopters are used to rescue people from places that cars can t even get to. Helicopters are also used for the military, because they can move people quickly and lift heavy things. Helicopters with two rotors are useful for lifting very heavy loads. Because all the engine power goes to the main rotors, and not to a tail rotor, full power goes toward lift. The most powerful helicopter in the world can carry 22 tons.

As early as the 1500 s, the Chinese played with a toy that when spun with your hands would lift into the air. Later, the Italian inventor Leonardo Da Vinci made drawings of a machine that we would later call a helicopter. How many years have today s modern helicopters been around?

200 or more years 100-199 years Less than 100 years

While early inventors tried to invent a helicopter, two problems kept them from making their dream a reality: an understanding of the concept of lift and a good engine. Over hundreds of years, many great minds worked on understanding lift for both airplanes and helicopters. As time went on, everyone got to know how wings and rotors create lift. However, there was still not enough power available to turn the rotors of a helicopter. At the end of the nineteenth century the invention of a gas powered engine was a great help to creating a helicopter. There were still a lot of problems that still had not been solved. Early helicopters did not have good solutions for torque. Over time the tail rotor and the double rotor were invented. Over the short history of helicopters they have already proven to be very useful. I can t wait to see what they come up with next!

2011 Airplanes

By Leo As you probably know, there are many types of transportation, and the fastest type of transportation is air travel. Not only is it faster than land and sea travel, but it is also proven to be much safer. In this report, we will be focusing on airplanes. Airplanes have many purposes. They re not just for taking passengers to their destination; they are also used for other reasons such as delivering mail or fighting wars. Did you know that some people use planes for doing tricks such as loop the loops or plunging down at a vertical drop and swooping up right before they hit the ground? These people perform their tricks at shows and ride special planes called Acrobats. Other planes are used for fighting wars and battles, like Jump Jets. Jump Jets are planes that need very little runway and can land vertically. Another kind of army jet is an Interceptor. An Interceptor is a plane that finds enemy aircraft and stops them from bombing targets. There are many different kinds of planes and some of them are really odd like the glider. The glider is a plane that has no motors. Instead, it is towed by another plane, then when let go, it relies on currents of warm air (thermals). Another weird kind of airplane is a commuter airliner. Commuter airliners are smaller than regular passenger planes and travel shorter distances. Commuter airliners typically have engines with six propellers that push the plane forward. This is why they re called pusher engines. Commuter airliners also have radar in their nose cones, so they can detect weather that s miles away from them. There are also planes that land on water instead of land. These planes are called seaplanes. Instead of wheels, they have floats so they can float on the water.

There are three main flying instruments on a plane, including:

2011

1. The Air Speed Indicator this tells the pilot how fast the aircraft is going. It s kind of like a speedometer on a car except in knots instead of miles per hour or kilometers per hour. 2. The Horizontal Situation Indicator - this picks up navigation beams from its destination and indicates the distance and time it will take to reach the destination. 3. The Attitude Detector this tells the pilot the difference between how straight the wings are compared to the horizon, so the pilot can match them up. There are also other instruments such as the compass (it tells the direction the plane is going) and the altimeter (it tells how high the plane is above the ground). Air travel is getting more advanced everyday. They think that someday people will be able to travel in a plane outside the atmosphere. Wouldn t that be great?
