Ok so cool we are publishing! we are a little ahead on our aircraft template codex code and this
morning we are working on tomorrow and eating cinnamon swirl toast with that Swedish coffee they have been advertising on
TV (Majestic blend) with OLIOVO margarine! It is very good!
The Convair ( Consolidated-Vultee) B-39
Peacemaker first flew on the 8th of August 1946 and had the longest wingspan of any war plane in the world 230 feet! It had
a range of some 10,000 miles and had both piston and jet engines and had pusher propellers!
My
apartment/department here in Stuart Florida we are slowly buying folders at the business supply store to store and organize
our spaceship airplane drawings and extra material(s) related to our company operation and tinker has and has pretty much
made all my appointments!
At the department/apartment we have had this group of people operating
on us and we are looking to move but there is such a hub bub about this and that and then right in the middle one of these
guys who we think uses or has used the name Phillip Johnson, ( the captain of the Titantic Richard says his name that
he is using is Phillip Lindekamp (unsure of the proper spelling), that was connected to this famous violin theft 35 years
ago in 1980 and only just recovered and was worth 5 million dollars has been riding his blue Kawasaki crotch rocket and has
been sitting in Tammy's office this last week or so! We also like to reference special days in the past and
Last week was the anniversary of the missing Jimmy Hoffa from the teamsters in 1975!
So we are
hunkered down and paid our web site fees and are looking through our airplane magazines to put interesting story line related
pictures if we can find them!
Terms Associated With Airfoils
Fight
equilibrium is straight and level flight.
Stability is being able to return
to flight equilibrium after outside force action on the aircraft such as air turbulance.
Lift
is the rise to the airfoil.
Redirected lift factor is a term which can
be both simple and complicated in relation to its use. Simple movement of the flight controls
can redirect the lift factor to the airfoil. In highly critical aircraft designs redirected lift factor can
be a term used to discuss such things as an airplane flying backwards and a winged spacecraft going
into orbit.
Rearward component of lift sometimes relates to the position of high
pressure area against the wing when its going through its operation.
Thrust
is usually considered in basic aircraft terms that pushes or pulls the aircraft through the air.
Drag's
basic character in avation manner relates to the resistance that the structure has as it flies through
the air.
Parasitic drag comes from structures such as landing gear
that's down, radio attennas...
Induced drag is drag induced from different movements
using the flight controls.
Vortex and vortices are terms related to the characteristics
of developed sections of air that change and don't change as the aircraft flies through
the sky at varying degrees of flight operation.
Downwash is both a simple and complicated
term. The use of this term basically relates to the angle of attack and the style of airfoil
as it goes through its geometric plane of operation in flight.
Chord line is an imaginary
line drawn through the center of the airfoil from a leading edge to the trailing edge.
Critical angle is a angle at which a stall ususally occurs at particular
degree station of its geometric position.
Angle of attack is a word that usually
relates to the position of the airfoil as it's controlled through the flight control system
when it flyies through the air. However, critical angle and angle of attack can be built into the aircraft
when it is manufactured or configured without movement of the flight control systems.
Spanwise
flow is usually the movement of the air from the center of the airplane down the wing.
Relative
wind is stationary air that envelops the airfoil that doesn't move as the airfoil travels through its
environment.
Reynold's numbers are airfoil number formula components
created to describe windtunnel models as its relates o full size aircraft.
Airfoil
numbers are used by the Civil Aviation Administration, The Federal Aviation Administration and NASA to
catagorize and number different styles and airfoil designs.
Wing
loading is a structural engineering term that usually described in factors. A component in understanding
wing loading would be the weight of the aircraft as it goes through a particular flight operation such
as tight turns and aerobatics with a full fuel load.
Compressability
is usually a term related to just before or just after an aircraft or airfoil goes faster than
the speed of sound. Compressability can make flight controls disfuntional if not properly balanced or designed
for that operation of flight.
The first
thing to think about in Tinkerbells giant spaceship design that flys backward into orbit
is that in a strong headwind airplanes can actually fly backwards and the issue of large size comes into the aspect
of propeller compressability over the fuselage and wings.Propeller blade bite and blade twist
all repond to the numbers of propeller RPM and engine RPM and torque and the work that
the propeller design can do in moving the aircraft down the runway and into the air.
The design of the BF and ME-109 the wings are of an old 1930's design simple and large to be
able to generate high pressure areas under the wing at relativley low speeds.Fighter planes of the 1940's
used laminar flow wings which were thinner in their shape and consequently used and had
higher takeoff speeds.Tinkerbell thought the old big wing off of the WW2 german fighterplane
was a plus in understanding that the BF-and ME-109 were relatively smaller fighters compared
to others, many of them allied.
Just in case as the giant hostest
with the mostest as Me's were sometimes called Tinkerbell added pulse jets on top of the
wing to boost its take off capacity with large amounts of fuel and propellants on bored.
This facter and the factor that Christafer Robin and Udets platform use a circle wing around
the fuselage and fly backward give the Hexagon's giant airplane-spaceship idea its unique design operation.
