Hurel-Dubois Miles HDM.105
The Hurel-Dubois Miles HDM.105 was a transport aircraft fitted with very high aspect ratio wings for research purposes, building on research carried out with the Hurel-Dubois HD.10, and a stepping point to the planned production HDM.106 Caravan. The HDM.105/HDM.106 provided the starting point for the design of the Short SC.7 Skyvan. Design and development , a French aircraft designer, became a champion of very high Aspect ratio (aeronautics), aspect ratio wings in a bid to significantly reduce induced drag, similar to the "Davis wing" of the Consolidated B-24 Liberator, but with much higher aspect ratios. After testing his wing design on the diminutive HD.10, Hurel was ready to progress to a full size transport aircraft, a joint venture between Miles Aircraft, F.G. Miles Ltd. and , fitting a Miles Aerovan with a very high aspect ratio wing and carrying out comparison tests. The HDM.105 utilised the fuselage, tail unit and engines from Miles Aerovan Mk.4 ''G-AOJF'', fitted with a ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
WikiProject Aircraft
A WikiProject, or Wikiproject, is a Wikimedia movement affinity group for contributors with shared goals. WikiProjects are prevalent within the largest wiki, Wikipedia, and exist to varying degrees within sister projects such as Wiktionary, Wikiquote, Wikidata, and Wikisource. They also exist in different languages, and translation of articles is a form of their collaboration. During the COVID-19 pandemic, CBS News noted the role of Wikipedia's WikiProject Medicine in maintaining the accuracy of articles related to the disease. Another WikiProject that has drawn attention is WikiProject Women Scientists, which was profiled by '' Smithsonian'' for its efforts to improve coverage of women scientists which the profile noted had "helped increase the number of female scientists on Wikipedia from around 1,600 to over 5,000". On Wikipedia Some Wikipedia WikiProjects are substantial enough to engage in cooperative activities with outside organizations relevant to the field at issue. For e ...
