We conclude that for a market to exist for a reduced speed concept, a combination of relatively high fuel burn reductions and/or low speed reductions would be required relative to a similar technology that does
When you shout into a well, the sound of your shout travels down the well and is reflected off the surface of the water at the bottom of the well. If you measure the time it takes for the echo to return and if you know the speed of sound, you can calculate the depth of the well...
you start the trip planning process on the Maps screen. The touch-planning tools make it easy to quickly enter departure/destination airports, determine the optimum route and altitude, and calculate time en route and fuel burn using stored aircraft profiles. ...
For an aircraft to be listed in the Purchase Planning Handbook, a production-conforming article must have flown by March 1 of this year. The dimensions, weights and performance characteristics of each model listed are representative of the current- production aircraft being built or for which a t...
In September, one of the worst storms in a generation was indeed heading for Hong Kong. Sustained winds around the eye of Typhoon Mangkhut reached 200 kilometres an hour. For Cathay Pacific, ensuring the safety of customers, aircrew, ground staff and aircraft came first. ...
Each Tu-95MS bomber is capable of launching Kh-101 nuclear-capable cruise missiles and is valued at approximately $50 million. The Tu-22M3, a supersonic strike aircraft, plays a key role in Russia’s regional power projection. Neither aircraft is currently in full-scale production...
The multipurpose control and display unit is the heart of a passenger plane. Proper pre-flight programming allows you to cruise basically with a few clicks. Together with the autopilot, the computer will monitor the route and the performance of the aircraft, including speed, altitude, and landin...
Become a part of Aviation World and join other like-minded individuals looking to improve their aeronautical know-how. Helicopter pilots, airplane captains, Air Traffic Controllers—if you're into flight, this is the place to be. Checklist for new membe
what sort of flying you expect to do with the model. You also need to pick the generic motor type you're using (such as "cheap brushless outrunner"). Finally, you enter the battery voltage (I use 3.5 volts for each lipo cell) and desired motor current, click "Calculate", and WebOC...
Speed and endurance: To make legs a comfortable length, as mentioned in the preceding paragraph, the aircraft should have a speed of not less than 140 knots. As an example, at the bottom of the scale, a Cessna 206, A Piper Lance or a Bonanza might be chosen. The Beechcraft Bonanza has...
