Thulin Aircraft
AB Thulinverken was a company in Landskrona, Sweden, founded in 1914 as Enoch Thulins Aeroplanfabrik by the airman and aircraft technician Enoch Thulin. The company became Sweden's first aircraft manufacturer. In 1920, Thulin also started manufacturing automobiles, which continued until 1928. During World War I, the company came into financial difficulties and was reconstructed in 1922 as ''AB Thulinverken''. The manufacturing of brake systems became a main focus of the company. In 1958, Thulinverken merged with Svenska AB Bromsregulator (founded in 1913). The remains of Thulinverken are now a part of SAB Wabco AB, which is owned by the French Faiveley Transport company since 2004.

Aerospace
Aerospace is a term used to collectively refer to the atmosphere and outer space. Aerospace activity is very diverse, with a multitude of commercial, industrial and military applications. Aerospace engineering consists of aeronautics and astronautics. Aerospace organizations research, design, manufacture, operate, or maintain both aircraft and spacecraft. The beginning of space and the ending of the air is considered as 100 km (62 mi) above the ground according to the physical explanation that the air pressure is too low for a lifting body to generate meaningful lift force without exceeding orbital velocity. Overview In most industrial countries, the aerospace industry is a cooperation of the public and private sectors. For example, several states have a civilian space program funded by the government, such as NASA, National Aeronautics and Space Administration in the United States, European Space Agency in Europe, the Canadian Space Agency in Canada, Indian Space Re ...

Thulin LA
The Thulin LA was a Swedish two-seat, single-engine biplane designed by Enoch Thulin in 1917 and made by his company AB Thulinverken in Landskrona. It was based on the earlier Thulin L and E aircraft, with a new engine, fuselage and empennage. The L and E types were in turn based on the German Albatros B.II aircraft, like the NAB Albatros. The Thulin LA was used in Sweden, the Netherlands (10) and Finland (1). This type also made the first passenger transport flights between Sweden and Denmark in 1919. Altogether there were 15 Thulin LAs built. Engine The engine used was a Thulin G, which was an 11-cylinder Le Rhône 11F (bore x stroke ),The Le Rhône 11F was essentially an enlarged 9-cylinder Le Rhône 9C with two extra cylinders, developing more. manufactured under licence by Thulinverken in Sweden. Thulin had journeyed to France in 1915 and acquired the licence to manufacture it from Gnome et Rhône, as well as the Le Rhône 9C, which was sold as the Thulin A. The Thulin- ...

Thulin L
The Thulin L was a Swedish reconnaissance plane built in the late 1910s. Design and development The Thulin L was a two-seat biplane derived from the unsuccessful Thulin E. It differed from the latter in that the wing surface was increased and the float location was made easier. Four production Thulin L floatplanes were ordered July 4, 1916, and they were delivered from November 1916 to March 1917.

Le Rhône
Le Rhône was the name given to a series of popular rotary aircraft engines produced in France by Société des Moteurs Le Rhône and the successor company of Gnome et Rhône. They powered a number of military aircraft types of the First World War. Le Rhône engines were also produced under license worldwide. Although not powerful (the largest wartime version produced ), they were dependable rotary engines.Le Rhone Rotary Engine Retrieved on 18 February 2009. The Le Rhône 9 was a development of the Le Rhône 7, a seven-cylinder design. Examples of nine-cylinder Le Rhône rotary engines are on public display in s with several remaining airworthy, powering vintage aircraft types. ...

Thulin K
The Thulin K was a Swedish naval fighter aircraft in the 1910s. It was operated by both the Swedish and Dutch armed forces. Development Dr. Enoch Thulin, of AB Thulinverken, designed the Thulin K in December 1916. It was a shoulder-wing monoplane of wooden construction employing wing warping for lateral control. Powered by a 90 hp Thulin A Gnôme derived rotary engine, it could be configured as a single seat or tandem seat aircraft. Operational history After initial flights in early 1917, the Swedish Army purchased two of the single seat K versions. However, it was more successful as an export plane; the Royal Netherlands Navy bought twelve Ks between 1917 and 1918 and three Thulin KAs. Both types were delivered without armament but the Dutch Navy fitted theirs with machine guns firing through the propeller arc and also experimented with 20 mm Madson cannons. The aircraft's performance was good - Thulin himself broke the Swedish altitude record in it in 1919. Howev ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Trimotor
A trimotor is an aircraft powered by three engines and represents a compromise between complexity and safety and was often a result of the limited power of the engines available to the designer. Many trimotors were designed and built in the 1920s and 1930s, when engine power lagged behind the designers' power requirements. See also * Trijet A trijet is a jet aircraft powered by three jet engines. In general, passenger airline trijets are considered to be second-generation jet airliners, due to their innovative engine locations, in addition to the advancement of turbofan technology. ...

Thulin H
The Thulin H was a Swedish reconnaissance/bomber plane built in the late 1910s. Design and development The Thulin H was a five-seat biplane powered by three engines, one tractor and two arranged in separate nacelles in pusher form. It was designed to take off and land on water. The Type H flew in August 1917 and passed tests, but the end of World War I obviated the need for a large reconnaissance bomber floatplane. Enoch Thulin offered the Thulin H to the civilian market for use as a transport plane, but no orders were placed.

Thulin GA
The Albatros B.II, (post-war company designation L.2) was an unarmed German two-seat reconnaissance biplane of the First World War. Design and development Designed by Robert Thelen based on his 1913 Albatros B.I, the B.II was the aircraft that brought the aircraft manufacturer Albatros Flugzeugwerke to the world's attention (Ernst Heinkel claimed to have designed this aircraft, which is considered untrue by aviation historians).Grosz, Peter M. ''Albatros C.I'', Windsock Datafile No. 57, Albatros Productions, 1996, , p.5, 10 The B.II had a shorter wingspan than the B.I and used a variety of engines up to 89 kW (120 hp). In 1914 it set an altitude record of 4,500 m (14,800 ft). The seating arrangement was not ideal; the pilot occupied the rear cockpit, the observer sat in front over the wings which greatly reduced his downward view while the protruding engine block almost completely obscured the view over the nose. When Albatros developed the armed C.I based o ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Thulin G
The Thulin G was a Swedish military reconnaissance aircraft built in the late 1910s. Design and development The Thulin G was a two-seat biplane of conventional configuration derived from the Albatros B.II that seated the observer and the pilot in separate cockpits in tandem. The upper wing was supported by 12 struts from the underwing and four supports from the fuselage. The inline engine was mounted in the aircraft's nose where it drove a wooden propeller . The exhaust gases from the engine were led via a manifold to pass above the upper wing. The pilot was seated in the front cockpit which was placed under the wing while the observer was seated in a cockpit behind the wings to allow good visibility to the sides. The Type G used floats for takeoff and landing on water. Operational history Five Type G and two Type GA aircraft were built for the Swedish naval air force, serving from 1917-1922. All but two aircraft were lost in accidents or destroyed in hangar fires. Operators ; ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Thulin FA
The Thulin FA was a Swedish reconnaissance aircraft built in the late 1910s. Design and development The Thulin FA was a two-seat biplane with the lower wings mounted at the bottom of the fuselage. The upper wing was supported by four wing struts and two V-shaped supports from the fuselage. Only the upper wings were fitted with ailerons. The fuselage was provided with two open cockpits in tandem under the upper wing. The wheel ground was fixed with a spur spring under the height knob (??). The Type FA was alternatively equipped with floats for water operation. Eight Type FA airframes were built, seven with the Benz Bz.III and the eighth with a Thulin D The Morane-Saulnier L, or Morane-Saulnier Type L, or officially MoS-3, was a French parasol wing one or two-seat scout aeroplane of the First World War.
