THIS DAY IN AVIATION April 10 1837 — The earliest known aeronautical experiment in Canada is conducted by Canadian schoolteacher John Rae. He successfully launches a paper balloon able to carry weight. Its lift is provided by the heating of its blackened surface by the sun.
THIS DAY IN AVIATION April 10 to May 10 1919 — Remarkable records were made by the Victory Loan Flying Circus. The circus, composed of three flights, each flight consisting of 15 pilots and many types of airplanes, tours the United States. Performances were given in 88 cities and 45 states. A total of 1,275 flights were made, 368 civilians were taken as passengers and 19,124 miles were flown.

Chapter 6 – Advances in Aeronautics
Today’s Mission Requirements Discuss the importance of composite materials Describe the developments with airfoil design Describe the U-2, SR-71, B-2 and F-117A Discuss the advancements in civil aviation and general aviation. EQ: Explain the advances in aeronautics and its impact on aircraft development.
B-2
Aeronautical Research Other Research In the 1970s, fuel efficiency and environmental considerations became driving forces. Advances in construction materials also overcame problems with weight and in-flight stress.
Aeronautical Research Other Research Super-strong, lightweight, nonmetallic, epoxy graphite composite materials were developed.
Aeronautical Research Other Research Other research was conducted on airfoil design, which produced: forward-swept wings(FSW) oblique wings (OWA) joined wings mission-adaptive wings Winglets canards.
Aeronautical Research U-2 and SR-71 The U-2 and the SR-71 were developed to fly at high altitudes over enemy territory. SR (Strategic Reconnaissance)
Aeronautical Research B-2 and F-117A The B-2 and the F-117A are stealth aircraft designed to be invisible to enemy radar. Radar signature of .1meter Carry 80 - 500lbs F-117A – scatter radar signature Retired 2008
Research and Development and Civil Aviation In 1954, Boeing unveiled the 707, which revolutionized commercial aviation. (size, speed, range, & capacity) The 707 also became the Air Force’s C-135.
Research and Development and Civil Aviation Shortly thereafter, Douglas introduced the DC-8, which was also very successful. In 1963, Boeing introduced the 727, the most successful jet ever built, a trijet.
Research and Development and Civil Aviation In 1966, companies entered the jumbo jet field. Boeing announced the 747 Wingspan - 65 ft longer than 707, Over 90 ft longer – carry 385 passengers with upstairs cocktail lounge Lockheed – the L-1011 Trijet (350 pass; range 4,000 mi) Douglas – DC-10
Research and Development and Civil Aviation In 1962, British Aircraft Corporation and the Sud- Aviation agreed to build the supersonic Concorde. In 1976, the Concorde began flying from London and Paris to Washington DC. The flight takes less than 4 hours. – retired 2003
Research and Development and General Aviation From 1958 to 1982, General Aviation in the US grew at a faster rate than military or commercial aviation. Generally not true in other parts of the world. Limitations (geography, expense, & freedom to fly) In the 1950s, manufacturers began making twin-engine aircraft.
Research and Development As R&D continues, military, commercial and general aviation will continue to benefit. Aviation will continue to get better, faster and less expensive.
