Rheinische FR-2 Schwalbe
The Raab-Katzenstein KL.1 Schwalbe (Swallow) was a German two-seat biplane produced in the 1920s. About fifty were built and the type became well known as an aerobatic aircraft, performing at many displays in the hands of pilots like Gerhard Fieseler. Design and development In November 1925 test pilot Antonius Raab and engineer Katzenstein formed the Kassel-based company that bears their name. They had previously worked at Dietrich Flugzeugwerke, a company which ran into financial problems in 1925. Their first design, known initially as the KL.1 Schwalbe, was a development of the Dietrich-Gobiet DP.XI. Later, in a rationalisation of the company's naming system, it became the RK.1 Schwalbe. The Schwalbe was a single bay biplane with thick section, unequal span wooden wings which were built around twin spars and fabric covered. The wings had marked stagger and were braced between the spars with forward leaning, steel tube, N-form interplane struts. The lower wing was attach ...

Rad Aviation
Rad Aviation was a British aircraft manufacturer based in Kidlington. The company was formed by John Radford and specialized in the design and manufacture of paramotors in the form of ready-to-fly aircraft for the European microlight rules.Bertrand, Noel; Rene Coulon; et al: ''World Directory of Leisure Aviation 2003-04'', page 74. Pagefast Ltd, Lancaster UK, 2003. ISSN 1368-485X The company was founded in 1989 as a powered paragliding research and development enterprise, producing their first production paramotor in 1995. By 2006 they reported that they had shipped more than 450 paramotors, selling mostly in the UK and Europe, plus the Middle East. The company went out of business in about 2006. The company focus was on very lightweight paramotors with low-powered engines. Designs produced included the Rad Arrow, MXL, RXL and the SXL Custom.

Rackett A
The rackett, raggett, cervelas, or sausage bassoon is a Renaissance-era double reed wind instrument, introduced late in the sixteenth century and already superseded by bassoons at the end of the seventeenth century. Description There are four sizes of rackett, in a family ranging from descant (soprano), tenor-alto, bass to great bass. Relative to their pitch, racketts are quite small (the descant rackett is only 4½ inches long, yet its lowest note is G2). This is achieved through its ingenious construction; the body consists of a solid wooden cylinder into which nine parallel bores are drilled. These are connected alternately at the top and bottom, resulting in a long, cylindrical wind passage within a compact body so that one can carry in one's pocket an instrument that will descend as low in pitch as a modern bassoon. However, its unusual construction requires its fingering to be somewhat different from other period woodwinds; it is similar to the front seven holes of t ...

William Rackett
William is a masculine given name of Norman French origin.Hanks, Hardcastle and Hodges, ''Oxford Dictionary of First Names'', Oxford University Press, 2nd edition, , p. 276. It became very popular in the English language after the Norman conquest of England in 1066,All Things William"Meaning & Origin of the Name"/ref> and remained so throughout the Middle Ages and into the modern era.

Scottish diminutives include Wull, Willie or Wullie (as in Oor Wullie or the play ''Douglas''). Female forms are Willa, Willemina, Wilma and Wilhelmina. Etymology William is related to the German given name ''Wilhelm''. Both ultimately descend from Proto-Germanic ''*Wiljahelmaz'', with a direct cognate also in the Old Norse name ''Vilhjalmr'' and a West Germanic borrowing into Medieval Latin ''Willelmus''. The Proto-Germanic name is a ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Raceair Skylite
The Raceair Skylite is an American ultralight aircraft that was designed by Ed Fisher and made available in the form of plans for amateur construction, by Raceair Designs.Cliche, Andre: ''Ultralight Aircraft Shopper's Guide'' 8th Edition, page E-35. Cybair Limited Publishing, 2001. The Skylite design was started in 1988 and the completed aircraft was first shown at Oshkosh in 1991. It was also sold by Wings of Freedom, but by late 2019 the company website had been taken down and it is likely that production had ended. Design and development The aircraft was designed to comply with the US FAR 103 Ultralight Vehicles rules, including the category's maximum empty weight of . The aircraft has a standard empty weight of . It features a strut-braced high wing, a single-seat, open cockpit, conventional landing gear and a single engine in tractor configuration. The design is intended to resemble the high-wing air racers of the 1930s. The Skylite is constructed with a welded 4130 ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Rabouyt D2
The Rabouyt D2 was a two-seat autogyro, with an engine driven rotor for vertical take-offs. In level flight the aircraft was powered by the same engine driving a shrouded, pusher configuration propeller. It was designed and built in France in the early 1970s by Denis Rabouyt. Design and development The D2 was primarily an autogyro driven by a pusher configuration, shrouded propeller whilst supported by an autorotating undriven two blade rotor. It was unusual in that the rotor could be powered, by the same engine that drove the propeller, during a vertical take-off phase to overcome the autogyro's normal limiting need for a take-off run. The D2's main rotor had constant chord blades of laminated wood, covered with geodesic glass fibre fabric. They were pillar mounted, together with a torque limiting coupler, at mid fuselage between the cabin and engine compartment. The fuselage was a steel-chromium-vanadium pod, with two side by side seats in a cabin glazed to the nose ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
