Walter Mikron III
The Walter Mikron is a four-cylinder, air-cooled, inverted straight engine for aircraft. Development Developed in Czechoslovakia in the early 1930s, the engine saw limited use in late 1930s and early 1950s. In the 1980s an initial batch of engines was rebuilt by Aerotechnik Moravska Trebova for use on L-13 Vivat motorgliders. Production of new engines followed. The company Aerotechnik was later bought by Parma Technik and production resumed in 1999, under a new name, in the same factory. The engine is mostly used on ultralight, LSA and experimental aircraft. The production is about 20-30 engines annually.

Luton Major
The Luton L.A.5 Major was a 1930s British two-seat high-wing cabin monoplane. Following World War II, plans were made available to suit construction as a homebuilt aircraft. History The original L.A.5 Major was a two-seat light aircraft powered by a 62 hp Walter Mikron II engine. It was designed by C.H. Latimer-Needham, and built in 1939 by Luton Aircraft Limited at its Phoenix Works, Gerrards Cross, Buckinghamshire. The prototype (G-AFMU), designated L.A.5 Major, first flew on 12 March 1939. During 1943, the Phoenix Works burnt down, destroying the prototype, and causing the Luton Aircraft company to close.Jackson 1974, p. 261 After World War II, Phoenix Aircraft Limited, formed by the designer C.H. Latimer-Needham and A.W.J.G. Ord-Hume, took over the design rights for the Luton Major. Latimer-Needham updated the design to make it more suitable for homebuilding, in which form it has become L.A.5A Major, with plans marketed by Falconar Avia of Edmonton, Alberta, Canada ...

Lemberger LD20b
The Lemberger LD20b was a single-engine cantilever biplane designed to be easily towable behind a car. Built in Germany in 1971, it made several flights but did not enter production. Design and development One of the main reasons for the popularity of the biplane in the early days of aviation was the wing strength provided by this arrangement. The two wings, without interplane struts and flying wires form a strong structure. Thus cantilever biplane wings are quite rare, though they do provide extra wing area for a given span and for the easy separation of wings from each other and from the fuselage. The Lemberger LD20b was one of this kind, designed with readily detachable wings and tailplane so that it could be towed by a car. Whilst towing, the wings were stowed alongside the fuselage. The tailskid was linked to the car via a luggage rack-like frame. The upper and lower wings of the LD20b were very similar, with the same span, area and straight, near-constant chord, plan. ...

Koolhoven F
N.V. Koolhoven was an aircraft manufacturer based in Rotterdam, Netherlands. From its conception in 1926 to its destruction in the Blitzkrieg in May 1940, the company remained the second major Dutch aircraft manufacturer (after Fokker). Although many of its aircraft were as unsuccessful economically as they were brilliant from a design standpoint, the company managed to score several 'hits', amongst them the Koolhoven FK-58, FK-58 single-seat monoplane fighter, the Koolhoven F.K.50, FK-50 twin-engine passenger transport, and the Desoutter Mk.II, FK-41, built in England under licence by Desoutter. History In 1920, aircraft designer Frederick Koolhoven, Frederick 'Frits' Koolhoven returned from England to his native Netherlands. The postwar years had not been good to him; the British Aerial Transport, British Aerial Transport Company for which he was chief designer went bankrupt and all other manufacturers were struggling for survival too hard to think of hiring.

Johansen CAJO 59
The Johansen CAJO 59 was a Danish twin-engined amphibious flying boat. Built in the late 1960s, it achieved certification but did not go into production. Design and development The CAJO 59 was designed by Carl Johansen (hence the name) as a general purpose 3-4 seat amphibious flying boat. It was a high- gull winged twin-engine monoplane with a wooden structure, mostly wooden skinned, apart from glass fibre/foam sandwich panels in the fuselage and fabric covered control surfaces. The wings inboard of the engines were built around two spars and had high dihedral (8.8°), which raised the engines well above the water. Outboard of the engines the wings had a single spar and were without dihedral. They carried full span slotted flaps and ailerons which were lowered when the flaps were fully extended. The fuselage was flat sided with rounded decking, with the cabin under the wings. Its conventional flying boat V-shaped planing bottom had a change of curvature near midpoint but ...

Jodel D11
The Jodel D.11 is a French two-seat monoplane designed and developed by Société Avions Jodel in response to a French government request for a low-wing aircraft for use by the nation's many emerging flying clubs. More than 3,000 examples have been built and flown.Tacke, Willi; Marino Boric; et al: ''World Directory of Light Aviation 2015-16'', page 99. Flying Pages Europe SARL, 2015. History Designers Édouard Joly and Jean Délémontez based the design on two of their earlier projects; they combined the wing of the projected D.10 with a lengthened and widened version of the D.9 fuselage. The first example flew on 4 April 1950. Of conventional tailwheel configuration, the D11 featured a fixed, spatted undercarriage, and accommodated pilot and passenger side-by-side. The wing panels outboard of the landing gear struts had a marked dihedral. Various powerplants were installed, typically Salmson 9, Continental O-170 or Continental O-200. The aircraft uses all-wood constr ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Isaacs Fury
The Isaacs Fury is a British homebuilt sporting biplane designed by John Isaacs as a seven-tenths scale replica of the Hawker Fury fighter. Development Using the Currie Wot construction methods as a basis, John Isaacs designed a single-seat wood and fabric sporting biplane for homebuilders. It was a seven-tenths replica of the 1935 Hawker Fury biplane fighter. It was a single-bay biplane with a fixed tailskid landing gear and powered by a Walter Mikron III piston engine in the nose with a two-bladed propeller. It has a single-seat open cockpit just aft of the wing. The prototype (''G-ASCM'') built by the designer between 1961 and 1963 at Southampton, England, first flew from Thruxton Aerodrome on 30 August 1963. Between 1966 and 1967 the aircraft was re-engined with a Lycoming O-290-D engine and first flown as the Fury Mk 2 in May 1967. The design was made available to amateur constructors. The rights to plans for the design are held by the UK Light Aircraft Association.Bay ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Gribovsky G-22
The Gribovsky G-22 (russian: Грибовский Г-22) was a low powered, single seat sports cantilever monoplane, designed and built in the USSR in the mid-1930s. It set at least one class record and flew from 1936 to at least 1940, though only one was completed. Design and development Before the G-22 all of Gribovsky's powered aircraft had monocoque fuselages and almost all had two spar wings. Though a wooden aircraft like them, the low wing G-22's structure was different, with a flat sided, truss framed fuselage and single spar wings. In plan its wing had a short parallel chord centre section and strongly straight tapered outer panels with the greatest taper on the trailing edges and with elliptical tips. The wing was plywood covered ahead of the spar and fabric covered aft. There were short span Frise ailerons hinged to the upper wing surface. Over its lifetime the G-22 was powered by three different engines. It began in 1936 with an inverted in-line engine, the fou ...

Gribovsky G-10
The Gribovsky G-10 (russian: ГРИБОВСКИЙ Г-10) was a single seat sports aircraft designed and built in the USSR in the early 1930s. Design and development Although the G-10 incorporated many structural feature from the earlier Gribovsky G-8 and later in its career had the same engine, it was a braced high wing monoplane rather than a low wing, cantilever design. The G-10's two spar wing was supported over the central fuselage on a very low, faired pylon and braced to the lower fuselage on each side by a V-form pair of faired struts. Like the G-8, the G-10 had a smoothly rounded, plywood skinned monocoque fuselage. It was initially powered by a , three cylinder Russian M-23 radial engine mounted in the short nose section. This was carefully streamlined and integrated smoothly with the spinner of the two blade propeller, though the cylinders protruded for cooling. Later, this engine was replaced by a , five cylinder Walter NZ-60 radial, the same type used by the G- ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
