The second machine, for example was used for airscrew experiments, flying in 1929 with a variety of duralumin propellers. The Gorcocks were also fitted with a variety of ventral radiators of different cross-sections and intake configurations. Despite their research role, the Gorcocks flew armed ...
the Cockle began life with a pair of Vee-twin Blackburne Tomtits. Ungeared and so limited to the maximum 2,400 rpm of the propellers, the Tomtits could only produce 16 hp (12 kW). It is not surprising that, when it came to the first flight the Cockle was underpowered. Before ...

Early in World War I, when aircraft were first being used for military purposes, it became apparent that existing inline engines were too heavy for the amount of power needed. Aircraft designers needed an engine that was lightweight, powerful, cheap, and easy to manufacture in large quantities....
An airfoil is a shape that's used in airplane wings, propellers, and fans to generate lift. The reason that airfoils work is...
Designing and Building Beautiful RC Airplane: Hello everyone this is my first Instructable but I am excited and eager to share with all of the great people on here how to design and build a remote control airplane. Aviation has been a passion of mine all
Rather, basic airplane aerodynamics can be explained with simple applications of the physics theories of Isaac Newton. Generally put, the airplane's power source, or engine, causes the wing to push against air with a high velocity, or speed. This forces massive amounts of air below the wing...
The four lightweight aluminum variable pitch propellers that were used on the bombing mission to save weight ended up at Texas A&M University.[citation needed] One of them, trimmed to 12.5 ft, provides the thrust for the Oran W. Nicks Low Speed Wind Tunnel.[citation needed] A 1,250 kVA...
Drivers are not easily available in North America; try your local Radio Controlled Airplane hobby shop. Most RC Helicopters use JIS screws to mount the propellers. Fellow instructable members gentry & Joe Katz: talk about the early Japanese motorbikes, as in the 1950's and 60's, the first ...
While I'd love to take a flight in a WWI airplane, I can't say I'd be at ease. Not sure why... 34 of 75Geoffrey Morrison/CNET Engine experimentation The early years of flight saw some fascinating experiments with planes, engines and everything. This is a Napier Dagger, which has...
