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 not reduce cruise speed.Antony D. Evans...
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...
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...
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. ...
Hong Kong is a hub. Bet on the ‘wet weekend’ scenario and planeloads of people might fly in for a connecting flight that is no longer operating. Instead, they’d be stranded in an empty terminal with shuttered shops and no transport options into the city. With man...
Single Engine Aircraft Compared to other types of planes, single-engine planes have a limited airspeed because they typically have propellers or piston engines. A Cirrus Vision SF50, for example, has a maximum cruise speed of 358 mph (576 km/h). Multi-Engine Aircraft Due to their size and...
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...
With a gross weight of 8,000 lb, it was powered by 2 Lycomings (250hp and later upgraded to 300hp). Considering its huge wing area, it was more akin to a powered glider than aircraft, with a cruise speed of 95 kts. Perfect for exploring down low and slow. The cavernous fuselag...
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...
