3 Utilizing your notes and past knowledge answer the following questions: 1) What type of aircraft led to gaining control of the air? 2) Describe the first type of bullet deflection used on propellers. 3) What influence did the invention of the interrupting gear have on the use of fighter aircraft? 4) Describe the problems associated with the wing mounted machine guns? 5) Describe the first all metal, low wing monoplane.

4  As more and more bombing raids took place, clear need for control of the air was needed.  Fighter or pursuit aircraft were needed to drive off bombers.

5 Utilizing your notes and past knowledge answer the following questions: 1) What type of aircraft led to gaining control of the air? 2) Describe the first type of bullet deflection used on propellers. 3) What influence did the invention of the interrupting gear have on the use of fighter aircraft? 4) Describe the problems associated with the wing mounted machine guns? 5) Describe the first all metal, low wing monoplane.

6  1915 – French pilot – Roland Garros ◦ Mounted an automatic rifle on aircraft ◦ Fired through the propeller ◦ To keep from shooting off propeller, the rear of the propeller was armored with steel plates

7  Angled metal guards on the propeller in line with the path of the bullets  The guard is a "V" shaped piece of steel   "U" shaped bullet "gutter" intended to direct the deflected path of the bullet striking it away from the propeller.  sending a ricocheting bullet back into the pilot.  bullet striking the plate could create fractures in the propeller causing it to fail.

8 Utilizing your notes and past knowledge answer the following questions: 1) What type of aircraft led to gaining control of the air? 2) Describe the first type of bullet deflection used on propellers. 3) What influence did the invention of the interrupting gear have on the use of fighter aircraft? 4) Describe the problems associated with the wing mounted machine guns? 5) Describe the first all metal, low wing monoplane.

9  Germans captured Garros and his plane  Dutch – airplane designer – Anthony Fokker improved on design  Fokker designed a machine gun that fired through a spinning propeller  This gave Germans total control over the skies for over a year

10 Utilizing your notes and past knowledge answer the following questions: 1) What type of aircraft led to gaining control of the air? 2) Describe the first type of bullet deflection used on propellers. 3) What influence did the invention of the interrupting gear have on the use of fighter aircraft? 4) Describe the problems associated with the wing mounted machine guns? 5) Describe the first all metal, low wing monoplane.

11  Allies tried to mount a gun to the top of the wing but was ineffective due to increased drag

12 The Wing-Mounted Gun Solution: Fire above the path of the propeller: Fitted with either drum or clip ammunition feed systems Two issues: Unreliable and prone to jamming difficult task of reloading ammunition or clearing a round from a jammed gun while flying

13 Utilizing your notes and past knowledge answer the following questions: 1) What type of aircraft led to gaining control of the air? 2) Describe the first type of bullet deflection used on propellers. 3) What influence did the invention of the interrupting gear have on the use of fighter aircraft? 4) Describe the problems associated with the wing mounted machine guns? 5) Describe the first all metal, low wing monoplane.

14  May 1918 ◦ German designer Hugo Junkers built world’s first all metal, low-wing monoplane fighter called the Junkers D1 ◦ Arrived too late to make a difference in the war but was the fighter of the future

16  October 14  1921 — Loening Monoplane “Flying Yacht,” during an efficiency contest held by the Aero Club of America, establishes a new seaplane efficiency record, making six round trips between Port Washington and New London, in 5 hours 33 minutes, with 24 passengers carried in all, at a total cost of operation of $65.

17  October 14  1947 — Capt. Charles “Chuck” Yeager becomes the first person to fly faster than sound.  Yeager “breaks the sound barrier” in his Bell X-1 airplane, “Glamorous Glennis,” named after his wife.  He was able to reach 670- mph or Mach 1.015 at Muroc Dry Lake, California.
