Fighter Aircraft JAK - 141

Fighter Aircraft   JAK - 141


First JAK-141 test multipurpose fighter aircraft was built in 1986 in A.S.Jakovlev's Design Bureau. This is first aircraft in it's class, passed supersonic speed. New fighter have gained 12 global records including vertical speed up, reaching maximum height with 1 and 2 t load with vertical take-off and landing. In vertical speed up in 12 km JAK-141 "Freestyle" surpassed vertical take-off and landing fighter aircraft AV-8B"Harrier II" in 10 seconds. Furthermore it reached record in warm season with 1 t load while "Harrier" took-off without load in cold season (better conditions for aviation engines). JAK-141 "Freestyle" was firstly publicly shown Le'Burge in 38-th international airspace exhibition.

JAK-141 "Freestyle" is multipurpose vertical take-off and landing supersonic fighter intended to intercept air targets, attack ground and sea targets. It can be used on unprepared or small dimension runways or on ships as Naval multipurpose fighter. JAK-141 is able to take-off without maneuvers on runway directly from aviation dugout's run-track. This factor allows to make quick massive JAK's-141 squadron take-off involving in air combat or taking away from nuclear attack what was especially important during the "Cold War".

Navigational complex provides manual and automatic aircrafts piloting from take-off to landing day or night and in different weather condtions at all geographical regions. Aircraft's control system includes multi regime board radiolocation station with common indication and allows to use different weapon types. Some time ago developer's team decided the main aircrafts JAK-141 modernization directions: increasing flight and technical characteristics in case of increasing vertical engines power, increasing maximum fuel capacity and lowering aircrafts radiolocation visibility.

In case of financial troubles JAK-141 "Freestyle" haven't been developed serially yet. However such countries like Italy, India, Argentina have stated desire to purchase this aircraft for their national Air Force's. JAK-141 modernized variant got indexation JAK-41M

Solar powered aircrafts

Solar powered aircrafts

HELIOS project was a part of NASA's ERAST programme (Environmental Research Aircraft and Sensor Technology). It was developed by NASA and Californian company AeroVironment Inc. ERAST programme develops pilotless solar powered airplane technology. The HELIOS construction is based upon its predecessors like NASA's solar plane Pathfinder, which was successfully tested a few years prior to HELIOS. Due to its speed HELIOS was able to flew over the same spot for days or weeks, therefore, in the future such aircrafts could substitute communication satellites. In the test flight on 13th August 2001, HELIOS reached the height of almost 30,000 meters. HELIOS was a slow airplane - if you ride a bicycle fast, you are quicker than HELIOS. It was a remotely controlled plane with no crew weighting less than most cars. However, it flew higher than any other plane powered solely by solar energy.

HELIOS - technical data

Wing span: 75,3 m Length: 3,6 m Wing thickness: 0.3 m Height: 2 m, without upper blades of the propelers Wing area: 186.6 m2 Mass: 600 kg - unloaded plane Allowed mass: up to 930 kg, depends on flight purpose and available energy. Cargo: up to 330 kg, depends on measurement equipment weight. Propulsion: 14 DC brushless electric motors (the power of each motor is 1,5 kW) with two blades, specialy designed for high altitude flights. The weight of each motor is less than 5 kg. Length of both propeller blades is 1,7 m. Energy source: Bifacial solar cells - dimmensions 1.25" x 2.75" (Front side efficiency 22 %, backside efficiency 11 %) placed on transparent wings. Energy source in the dark are lithium batteries. Fuell cells will be used as main energy source in the dark in the future. Speed: Typical flight speed is 30 to 40 km/h. The highest speed is 270 km/h. Flight height: Maximal flight height is 30000 m - typical height depends on flight mission and it is typical 15000 to 22000 m. Flight: The anticipated authonomy in the future together with fuell cells will reach for uninterupted flights (several months of authonomy). Materials: All main parrts of the plane are made of carbon fibres and styrofoam. Wings are covered with special designed and produced plastic sheet.

Two hours before flight

Two hours before flight, Air India aircraft’s nose wheel gear collapses

Mum, May 16 Ground engineer under belly has narrow miss as engineer in cockpit puts front wheel lever into retract position; both engineers suspended; leased aircraft was to depart for Dubai
The nose wheel gear of a Dubai-bound Air India Boeing 777 collapsed today around 1.30 pm, two hours before it was bound to take off, the second incident involving the airline’s aircraft in two days at the Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport. An engineer carrying out maintenance work under the aircraft’s belly had a narrow escape.
The incident occurred when the aircraft was still in the maintenance area, at Bay 48. “It’s a leased aircraft and not owned by Air India,” said an Air India spokesperson. “Prima facie, the nose gear seems to have collapsed but the plane was still in the maintenance area while designated to fly to Dubai.”
He said nobody was injured in the incident.
On Thursday, the door of an Airbus A-320 was damaged after the still-attached aerobridge slammed against it as the pushback vehicle at the rear wheels began to move. he passengers had already boarded.
It is standard procedure for engineers to carry out maintenance tests on a departing plane. Sources said the plane’s landing lever, known technically as a retraction lever, was put into the ‘retract’ position forcing the front wheel of the plane to collapse while it was still standing. The landing lever is put into this position once the aircraft hits airspace, allowing the wheels of the plane to retract into the aircraft.
“Prima facie, it appears to be a case of human error as the ground engineer should have fixed the nose pin on top of the front wheel before testing the landing lever,” said an air safety expert, not wishing to be named. The nose pin is a thick titanium pin that fixed on top of the front wheel of the aircraft so that even when the lever is ‘retracted’, the front wheel cannot collapse.
While an aircraft engineer named Panchal was testing the plane from the cockpit, it was ground engineer Manoj Nair, under its belly, who reportedly saw the plane vibrating violently. He escaped unhurt, narrowly. The Dubai-bound plane, the AI 717, is a Boeing 777 and among the new aircraft in Air India’s stable, leased from the United Airlines.
The airline spokesperson said that while human error could not be ruled out, the two engineers concerned have been suspended pending an inquiry. He also refuted charges of the aircraft had vibrated before its nose collapsed, saying no aircraft can vibrate when its engine is switched off.
“While nothing can be said before investigations are completed as you have to carefully go through every minute detail. However, you cannot ignore the fact that it is a very serious incident — there is no doubt about that,” said senior civil aviation advisor and a former Director of Civil Aviation, H.S Khola.

Similar incident last year in Delhi
On April 9, 2007, at New Delhi’s IGI Airport, an Air India Shanghai-Bangkok-Delhi flight made an emergency landing after its landing gear collapsed. The plane had landed under full emergency conditions as a technical snag occurred in the locking system of the front landing gear. Just as the aircraft was being towed away, its nose wheel gear had collapsed, blocking the main runway.

Aviation - a growing industry

                                                                                                               
                                                                                               

Aviation - a growing industry

Among all transport modes aviation is the one with the highest growth rates. The annual growth is at the moment and most likely in the near future about 5% for passenger transport and 6% for freight transport.

The present climate influence of aviation on the greenhouse effect is maybe smaller than some of us think, but the emissions increase and reductions are much more difficult to achieve than in other areas.

Aviation carbon dioxide emissions, the most important greenhouse gas, presently stand at around 2% of total carbon dioxide emissions from human activities. This share is projected to grow to about 3% by 2050. However, the contribution to global warming is higher, because there are additional mechanisms triggered by emissions from aircraft. We are going to learn about the details in this chapter.


1. Aviation is a transport sector still on the way up. Airbus A319 Source: freefoto.com


The total contribution of aviation on climate change is therefore estimated to be in the range of 3 – 3.5% and could grow to 5% by 2050 (estimations published by IATA*). This does not yet include the impact of cirrus clouds about which the present knowledge is still too poor.



2. So far and projected growth in freight in freight ton kilometers (FTK) according to an estimation from Boeing 2002. Source: Aviation and Sustainability, Stockholm Environment Institute.
Therefore, reducing the impact of aviation to global warming is a necessary and relevant process and a big challenge. The aviation industry has a strong interest to optimise fuel efficiency, so that the engine efficiency of new airplanes is usually the best possible at the respective date of construction. Thus, technical progress in engine efficiency will not offset the high growth rates. It never did in the recent past.
 Commercial aircrafts flying on other fuels than kerosene are not yet developed for the day-to-day market. Since the life time of a new airplane is about 30 years, it is clear that the technical development will not prevent that kerosene consumption in aviation will grow during the next 40 years. Other measures have to be taken, if the global warming impact of aviation shall be reduced. We have to focus on a reduction of air transport during the next 30-50 years as long as no clean technologies are found.

Holland opens their first offshore wind farm

Holland opens their first offshore wind farm

Wednesday marked the opening of the Netherland's first offshore wind farm, built by Shell and Nuon, a Dutch power utility. The 200 million euro project boasts a 108 megawatt farm on the North Sea, which will also be function as a research center to expand knowledge and observe how marine life is affected.
Going off land seems to be the only way that Holland's new coalition government can accomplish their (and the EU's) goal of 20 percent of their energy coming from renewable sources by 2020. In 2006, 2.37% of the Netherlands' total electricity came from wind power. Until recently, the licensing process for wind power projects took five years, and the government had prohibited building wind farms on the North Sea.
Offshore windfarms are good for several reasons. For one thing, the wind is much stronger at sea, and the open space allows for much larger turbines. The trend is more popular in Europe, where land area is limited and shallow water is abundant and accessible. The US generally has enough land space to accomodate windmills, although an offshore park is to be built off Cape Cod in the next two years. Much of America's coast is to deep for off-shore farms to be a practical solution, as production cost increases with a greater water depth and larger waves.
Offshore farms are said to be barely visible from land and designed in a place that won't interfere with shipping. Boston based energy consulting firm La Capra Associates predicts the Cape Wind project in Massachusetts to save the New England electricity market $25 million per year, and will decrease the region's harmful emissions. The system will lower demand for natural gas, which could lead to lower natural gas prices in the region.

Bloomberg's Big Plans

Bloomberg's Big Plans

This year's Earth Day proved to be a bigger affair than usual due to recent attention to global warming, and the city of New York was no exception. In a speech at the Museum of Natural History, Mayor Bloomberg unveiled PlaNYC: A Greener, Greater New York, his grand scheme to make NYC the cleanest and most efficient of them all. The speech highlighted 127 separate initiatives that the government will take to improve 9 broader problems, from transportation to water quality. The plan includes a goal of reducing carbon emissions by 30% by the year 2030. With 984 days left in office, Bloomberg cites the thriving status of the city as reason to actively persue such an ambitious project that will accommodate more people in the 5 burroughs.Brownfield remediation is one of the 9 areas of focus. The implementation of on-site testing, soil analysis, a new City office to focus on brownfield treatment, and a $15 million dollar fund for brownfield redevelopment are just a few of the initiatives planned to attack the problem.In terms of housing, Bloomberg proposed development in areas with easy access to public transport, restoring unused waterfront property around the city, converting vacant schools, hospitals, and outdated municipal facilities into new housing, and constructing decks over transportation infrasturcture to create inhabitable land.He stressed the need for more open space and parkland that is accessible to residents of every neighborhood. This will be implemented by opening city-wide schoolyards as public playgrounds, giving access to the better sports fields to all athletic teams, converting asphalt into multi-use turf fields, and installing lights at fields to allow for nighttime use, among several other initiatives.A steep tax for cars entering the city below 86th street is one of the several initiatives aimed at improving transportation in the city. In addition to that, Bloomberg hopes to provide new and improved commuter rails to Manhattan, make transit more accessible to neglected areas and improve the transit system throughout the city, finish the city's 1,800 mile bike master plan to increase bicycle use, and many other transit and toll related plans.
Many of the 127 points fall under the energy reform plan, and some of these include adapting building codes that support energy efficiency, creating a city department that focuses on efficient energy use, enpanding New York's natural gas infrastructure, more solar energy in city buildings, and exploring waste-to-energy technology (I knew it wasn't far off!).
To improve water networks, Bloomberg plans to build an ultraviolet disinfection plant, build a filtration plant to protect the Croton supply, begin a water conservation plan to lower consumption by 60 million gallons per day, and complete and repair several of the water tunnels around the city, including a backup tunnel to Staten Island.
In terms of water quality, the plan includes implementing ribbed mussel beds, reduce combine d sewage overflow, and complete the long term control plans for the 14 watersheds in NYC.
Bloomberg connects air quality improvements to the transportation initatives, and also plans to waive sales tax on clean cars, help the MTA, port authority, and dept. of transportation to promote hybrid vehicles, expand the use of biodeisel and alternative fuels for city trucks, ferries, schoolbusses, and taxis. The plan also aims to reforest 2,000 acres of parkland and plant 1 million trees in empty lots over the next 10 years.
To combat climate change, Bloomberg hopes to reduce emissions by 60-80% by the year 2050. This requires creating a special taskforce to maintain the city's infrastructure while implementing new initiatives, teaming up with coastal neighborhoods to create site specific remedies, update FEMA's 100-year floodplain maps to take climate change impacts into account, and changing building codes within the city to address climate change.
It's a very ambitious plan, but I can't quite figure out where all the money for the big clean up will come from. On top of that many of the initiatives are rather vague and don't actually specify WHAT the government will DO to accomplish the goal. But this is the kind of action that all cities need to take, and it's better to be overly ambitious than indifferent. It'll be interesting to see what he DOES accomplish in the 984 days left in office....

McCain lost five U.S. Navy aircraft

McCain lost five U.S. Navy aircraft

Navy pilot John Sidney McCain III should have never been allowed to graduate from the U.S. Navy flight school. He was a below average student and a lousy pilot. Had his father and grandfather not been famous four star U.S. Navy admirals, McCain III would have never been allowed in the cockpit of a military aircraft.
His father John S. "Junior" McCain was commander of U.S. forces in Europe later becoming commander of American forces in Vietnam while McCain III was being held prisoner of war. McCain III's grandfather John S. McCain, Sr. commanded naval aviation at the Battle of Okinawa in 1945.
During his relative short stunt on flight status, McCain III lost five U.S. Navy aircraft, four in accidents and one in combat.
Robert Timberg, author of The Nightingale's Song, a book about Annapolis graduates and their tours in Vietnam, wrote that McCain "learned to fly at Pensacola, though his performance was below par, at best good enough to get by. He liked flying, but didn't love it."
McCain III lost jet number one in 1958 when he plunged into Corpus Christi Bay while practicing landings. He was knocked unconscious by the impact coming to as the plane settled to the bottom.
McCain's second crash occurred while he was deployed in the Mediterranean. "Flying too low over the Iberian Peninsula," Timberg wrote, "he took out some power lines [reminiscent of the 1998 incident in which a Marine Corps jet sliced through the cables of a gondola at an Italian ski resort, killing 20] which led to a spate of newspaper stories in which he was predictably identified as the son of an admiral."
McCain's third crash three occurred when he was returning from flying a Navy trainer solo to Philadelphia for an Army-Navy football game.
Timberg reported that McCain radioed, "I've got a flameout" and went through standard relight procedures three times before ejecting at one thousand feet. McCain landed on a deserted beach moments before the plane slammed into a clump of trees.
McCain's fourth aircraft loss occurred July 29, 1967, soon after he was assigned to the USS Forrestal as an A-4 Skyhawk pilot. While seated in the cockpit of his aircraft waiting his turn for takeoff, an accidently fired rocket slammed into McCain's plane. He escaped from the burning aircraft, but the explosions that followed killed 134 sailors, destroyed at least 20 aircraft, and threatened to sink the ship.
McCain's fifth loss happened during his 23rd mission over North Vietnam on Oct. 26, 1967, when McCain's A-4 Skyhawk was shot down by a surface-to-air missile. McCain ejected from the plane breaking both arms and a leg in the process and subsequently parachuted into Truc Bach Lake near Hanoi.
After being drug from the lake, a mob gathered around McCain, spit on him, kicked him and stripped him of his clothing. He was bayoneted in his left foot and his shoulder crushed by a rifle butt. He was then transported to the Hoa Lo Prison, also known as the Hanoi Hilton.
After being periodically slapped around for "three or four days" by his captors who wanted military information, McCain called for an officer on his fourth day of captivity. He told the officer, "O.K., I'll give you military information if you will take me to the hospital." -U.S. News and World Report, May 14, 1973 article written by former POW John McCain.
"Demands for military information were accompanied by threats to terminate my medical treatment if I [McCain] did not cooperate. Eventually, I gave them my ship's name and squadron number, and confirmed that my target had been the power plant." Page 193-194, Faith of My Fathers by John McCain.
When the communist learned that McCain's father was Admiral John S. McCain, Jr., the soon-to-be commander of all U.S. Forces in the Pacific, he was rushed to Gai Lam military hospital (U.S. government documents), a medical facility normally unavailable for U.S. POWs.
The communist Vietnamese figured, because POW McCain's father was of such high military rank, that he was of royalty or the governing circle. Thereafter the communist bragged that they had captured "the crown prince."
For 23 combat missions (an estimated 20 hours over enemy territory), the U.S. Navy awarded McCain a Silver Star, a Legion of Merit for Valor, a Distinguished Flying Cross, three Bronze Stars, two Commendation medals plus two Purple Hearts and a dozen service medals.
"McCain had roughly 20 hours in combat," explains Bill Bell, a veteran of Vietnam and former chief of the U.S. Office for POW/MIA Affairs -- the first official U.S. representative in Vietnam since the 1973 fall of Saigon. "Since McCain got 28 medals," Bell continues, "that equals out to about a medal-and-a-half for each hour he spent in combat. There were infantry guys -- grunts on the ground -- who had more than 7,000 hours in combat and I can tell you that there were times and situations where I'm sure a prison cell would have looked pretty good to them by comparison. The question really is how many guys got that number of medals for not being shot down."
For years, McCain has been an unchecked master at manipulating an overly friendly and biased news media. The former POW turned Congressman, turned U.S. Senator, has managed to gloss over his failures as a pilot and collaborations with the enemy by exaggerating his military service and lying about his feats of heroism.
McCain has sprouted a halo and wings to become America's POW-hero presidential candidate.

Gravity powered aircraft flies with no fuel

Gravity powered aircraft flies with no fuel

January 21, 2004 The concept of sustained flight without the use of fuel seems far reaching even by today's advanced aviation standards. Even more so when you consider that aircrafts should ideally be able to carry heavy loads of passengers and cargo. However one innovator's astounding new designs could transform the air transport industry of the 21st Century if they turn out to be valid
Former nuclear designer, Robert D. Hunt of Hunt Aviation Corp has come up with a new "gravity powered aircraft technology" that he claims can accomplish sustained fuel-less flight. Hunt has designed a new hybrid aircraft: a "gravity-powered aircraft" which is a fixed wing, ridged skin airplane made of lightweight and modern composite materials. By October 2003, Hunt Aviation Corp had already begun the first phase of prototype construction, assembling a consortium of aviation manufacturers and suppliers that wish to support the revolutionary aircraft technology.
Interestingly, because this hybrid plane uses technology of gliding and aerostatic lift, the idea for sustained flight actually has more in common with the older technology of Leonardo Da Vinci's first primitive hang glider, than it does from the Wright Brother's engine powered airplane only a century ago.
The "Gravity-Plane", as Hunt Aviation likes to call it, uses gravity's dual properties - buoyancy which creates an upward motion in order to gain altitude, and gravity acceleration which creates a forward and downward gliding motion. The two motions combined form the heart of Hunt's new gravity powered technology, a technology that could make for a much healthier and cleaner environment.
Lighter-than-air (Aerostatic) lift may be explained by the principal of buoyancy, also known as the Archimedes Principal. Gravity exerts a greater pull on more dense materials than on less dense materials, which causes buoyancy. For example, a bubble rises in water and helium rises in air because they are less dense than the surrounding "lifting" fluid.
In the Hunt Aviation's "Gravity-Plane", buoyancy is created by gas bags filled with helium within two large rigid pontoon shaped lifting bodies. This buoyancy lifts the "Gravity-Plane" to high altitudes to create lighter-than-air lift.
Despite being a better "lifting gas" than Helium, Hydrogen is generally not used in this way because it is combustible. Inert Helium, widely used in lighter-than-air airships, can now be used to attain altitudes of over 100,000 feet and may be built very large to carry heavy loads of passengers and cargo approaching 1,000 tons according to Hunt. By comparison, a U. S. military C-17 heavy lifter only carries 70 tons.
Even better than Helium , according to Hunt, is the idea to use a vacuum-lift system in the hybrid aircraft. During normal operation of the aircraft, lift is provided by the vacuum contained within rigid cells. As a precautionary measure, the new hybrid aircraft will use a Dual-Aerostatic-Lift system that will include the use of vacuum-lift and the use of a lifting gas. The lifting gas is expanded into collapsible gas bags, in the event of rupture of the vacuum-lift cell wall.
Obvious benefits of the technology are that the aircraft does not require fuel, which is aviation's main cost. This also makes the aircraft safer in terms of fuel burning or exploding. Furthermore, having no waste emissions or noise, the aircraft is extremely environmentally friendly. "Hunt's invention is the first practical use of gravity to provide a motive force by forming a continuous cycle out of two forces of gravity with the result being, for the first time ever, self-sustained fuel-less flight and this is a tremendous and historic accomplishment", stated Gene Cox, President of Hunt Aviation Corp.

The Lockheed Martin F-16 Fighting Falcon, the first of the US Air Force multi-role fighter aircraft, is the world's most prolific fighter with more than 2,000 in service with the USAF and 2,000 operational with 23 other countries. The F-16 and the F-15 Eagle were the world's first aircraft able to withstand higher G forces than the pilots. The Fighting Falcon entered service in 1979. The last of 2,231 F-16 fighters for the US Air Force was delivered in March 2005.
"The F-16 Fighting Falcon is the world's most prolific fighter."
Recent orders include Bahrain (ten delivered), Greece (60 Block 52 all delivered), Israel (50), Egypt (24 Block 40), New Zealand (28), United Arab Emirates (80 Block 60, first delivered 2005), Singapore (20), South Korea (20 Block 52 all delivered), Oman (12, first delivered August 2005), Chile (10 Block 50, first delivery 2006) and Poland (48 Block 52, first delivery 2006).
Israel, with the world's largest F-16 fleet outside the USAF, has ordered 110 F-16I aircraft, of which the first was delivered in December 2003. These aircraft have Pratt & Whitney F100-PW-229 engines, Elbit avionics, Elisra electronic warfare systems and Rafael weapons and sensors, including Litening II laser target designator pods. Italy has leased 34 aircraft until the first tranche of Eurofighter deliveries are completed. Hungary will acquire 24 ex-USAF fighters.
In December 2005, Greece ordered a further 30 Block 52+ fighters (20 F-16C single seat and 10 F-16D two-seat) to be delivered from 2009.
In June 2005, Pakistan requested the Foreign Military Sale (FMS) of 36 F-16C/D block 50/52 aircraft. In June 2006, the Pentagon notified Congress of its intention to agree the sale and Lockheed Martin was awarded a contract for 12 F-16C and 6 F-16D block 52 aircraft in December 2006. The aircraft will be armed with AMRAAM and Sidewinder missiles and the Sniper targeting pod.
In September 2006, Turkey requested the sale of an additional 30 advanced block 50 F-16 aircraft. The order was signed in May 2007. The aircraft will be delivered in 2011 and 2012.
In June 2007, Taiwan requested 66 F-16C/D aircraft but the US government has indicated that approval is unlikely to be granted before 2008.
In December 2007, Morocco requested the sale of 24 F-16C/D block 50/52 aircraft.

F-16 COMMON CONFIGURATION IMPLEMENTATION PROGRAMME (CCIP)

650 USAF Block 40/50 F-16s are being upgraded under the Common Configuration Implementation Program (CCIP). The first phase of the program (first aircraft completed in January 2002) provides core computer and colour cockpit modifications.
The second, which began in September 2002, involves fitting the advanced AN/APX-113 interrogator/transponder and Lockheed Martin Sniper XR advanced FLIR targeting pod.
The third, which started in July 2003, adds Link 16 datalink, the Boeing Joint Helmet-Mounted Cueing System and an electronic horizontal situation indicator. Operational testing of the M3 upgraded fighters was completed in September 2004. Deliveries are planned to complete in 2010.
"Israel has the largest F-16 fleet outside the USAF."
A216 Block 40/50 F-16 aircraft of the Turkish Air Force are to be upgraded with elements of the CCIP, under an agreement reached in April 2005. Lockheed Martin was awarded the contract to supply the modernisation kits in December 2006. The upgrade is scheduled for completion in 2016.
The export version of the Sniper XR pod, the PANTERA, has been ordered by the Royal Norwegian Air Force. The first was delivered in November 2003.

BLOCK 60 UPGRADE

The Block 60 F-16E/F, which is being developed for the United Arab Emirates, features extra payload and range, in part due to the new F110-132 engine being developed by General Electric, which produces 145kN of thrust.
New avionics for the Block 60 includes a higher-speed mission computer, a new display processor, 3 large colour LCD displays, advanced data transfer unit with a fibre-optic data transfer network Precision targeting is achieved by the Northrop Grumman integrated navigation FLIR and targeting FLIR system using mid-wave infrared arrays and Northrop Grumman's APG-80 agile beam active electronically scanned (AESA) radar.
Northrop Grumman is providing the Integrated Electronic Warfare Suite. First flight of the Block 60 aircraft took place in December 2003. Deliveries of 80 block 60 aircraft to the UAE began in May 2005 and are scheduled to conclude by 2008.

COCKPIT

Advanced equipment being fitted on the current build of the F-16 includes Honeywell colour flat-panel liquid crystal multifunction displays, digital terrain system, modular mission computer, colour video camera to record the pilot's view of the Head-Up Display (HUD), a colour triple-deck video recorder and an enhanced programmable display generator.
Under the USAF Project Sure Strike, the F-16 is being equipped with an Improved Data Modem (IDM), which automatically provides target data to the HUD using data transmitted by a ground observer.
"USAF F-16 aircraft are scheduled to receive the Boeing Joint Helmet-Mounted Cueing System (JHMCS)."
A follow-on program, Project Gold Strike, integrates an upgraded IDM for the transmission of images to and from a range of sources, including ground units and unmanned aircraft. The system can transmit images from the LANTIRN targeting pod and display video imagery to the cockpit.
USAF F-16 aircraft are scheduled to receive the Boeing Joint Helmet-Mounted Cueing System (JHMCS), currently in full-rate production. Deliveries of production systems begin in 2004, although the system has been deployed operationally during Operation Iraqi Freedom

WEAPONS

The aircraft has nine hardpoints for weapons payloads: one at each wing tip, three under each wing and one centreline under the fuselage. The ordnance is launched from Raytheon LAU-88 launchers, MAU-12 and Orgen bomb ejector racks. The port wing is fitted with a 20mm General Electric M61A1 multi-barrel cannon and the gunsight is interfaced to the cockpit HUD.
Air-to-air missiles which have been carried on the F-16 include the Lockheed Martin/Raytheon AIM-9 Sidewinder, Raytheon AMRAAM, Raytheon Sparrow, MBDA (formerly Matra BAe Dynamics) Skyflash and ASRAAM, and the MBDA R550 Magic 2. In April 2004, the F-16 first fired the new-generation AIM-9X Sidewinder, which is in full-rate production for the USAF.
Air-to-surface missiles carried on the F-16 include Maverick, HARM and Shrike missiles, manufactured by Raytheon, and anti-ship missiles include Boeing Harpoon and Kongsberg Penguin. Flight tests with the Lockheed Martin Joint Air-to-Surface Standoff Missile (JASSM) are being conducted from the F-16.
The first guided launch of the new Joint Direct Attack Munition (JDAM) was successfully carried out from an F-16. The F-16 was the first USAF aircraft to be fitted with the Joint Standoff Weapon (JSOW) in April 2000.
The F-16 can be fitted with Lockheed Martin Wind Corrected Munitions Dispenser (WCMD), which provides precision guidance for CBU-87, -89, and 97 cluster munitions. The system corrects for launch transients, ballistic errors, and winds aloft.
The F-16 will be the first aircraft to use the USAF's new weapon rack, the Edo Corporation BRU-57. The BRU-57 is a vertical ejection rack which doubles the aircraft's capacity for precision-guided weapons like JDAM and WCMD.

PARTS OF AIRPLANES

PARTS OF AIRPLANES

This page shows the parts of an airplane and their functions. Airplanes are transportation devices which are designed to move people and cargo from one place to another. Airplanes come in many different shapes and sizes depending on the mission of the aircraft. The airplane shown on this slide is a turbine-powered airliner which has been chosen as a representative aircraft.
For any airplane to fly, you must lift the weight of the airplane itself, the fuel, the passengers, and the cargo. The wings generate most of the lift to hold the plane in the air. To generate lift, the airplane must be pushed through the air. The jet engines, which are located beneath the wings, provide the thrust to push the airplane forward through the air. The air resists the motion in the form of aerodynamic drag. Some airplanes use propellers for the propulsion system instead of jets.
To control and maneuver the aircraft, smaller wings are located at the tail of the plane. The tail usually has a fixed horizontal piece (called the horizontal stabilizer) and a fixed vertical piece (called the vertical stabilizer). The stabilizers' job is to provide stability for the aircraft, to keep it flying straight. The vertical stabilizer keeps the nose of the plane from swinging from side to side, while the horizontal stabilizer prevents an up-and-down motion of the nose. (On the Wright brother's first aircraft, the horizontal stabilizer was placed in front of the wings. Such a configuration is called a canard after the French word for "duck").
At the rear of the wings and stabilizers are small moving sections that are attached to the fixed sections by hinges. In the figure, these moving sections are colored brown. Changing the rear portion of a wing will change the amount of force that the wing produces. The ability to change forces gives us a means of controlling and maneuvering the airplane. The hinged part of the vertical stabilizer is called the rudder; it is used to deflect the tail to the left and right as viewed from the front of the fuselage. The hinged part of the horizontal stabilizer is called the elevator; it is used to deflect the tail up and down. The outboard hinged part of the wing is called the aileron; it is used to roll the wings from side to side. Most airliners can also be rolled from side to side by using the spoilers. Spoilers are small plates that are used to disrupt the flow over the wing and to change the amount of force by decreasing the lift when the spoiler is deployed.
The wings have additional hinged, rear sections near the body that are called flaps. Flaps are deployed downward on takeoff and landing to increase the amount of force produced by the wing. On some aircraft, the front part of the wing will also deflect. Slats are used at takeoff and landing to produce additional force. The spoilers are also used during landing to slow the plane down and to counteract the flaps when the aircraft is on the ground. The next time you fly on an airplane, notice how the wing shape changes during takeoff and landing.
The fuselage or body of the airplane, holds all the pieces together. The pilots sit in the cockpit at the front of the fuselage. Passengers and cargo are carried in the rear of the fuselage. Some aircraft carry fuel in the fuselage; others carry the fuel in the wings. As mentioned above, the aircraft configuration in the figure was chosen only as an example. Individual aircraft may be configured quite differently from this airliner. The Wright Brothers 1903 Flyer had pusher propellers and the elevators at the front of the aircraft. Fighter aircraft often have the jet engines buried inside the fuselage instead of in pods hung beneath the wings. Many fighter aircraft also combine the horizontal stabilizer and elevator into a single stabilator surface. There are many possible aircraft configurations, but any configuration must provide for the four forces needed for flight.
Airplanes are transportation devices which are designed to move people and cargo from one place to another. Airplanes come in many different shapes and sizes depending on the mission of the aircraft. The airplane shown on this slide is a turbine-powered airliner which has been chosen as a representative aircraft.
The fuselage, or body of the airplane, is a long hollow tube which holds all the pieces of an airplane together. The fuselage is hollow to reduce weight. As with most other parts of the airplane, the shape of the fuselage is normally determined by the mission of the aircraft. A supersonic fighter plane has a very slender, streamlined fuselage to reduce the drag associated with high speed flight. An airliner has a wider fuselage to carry the maximum number of passengers. On an airliner, the pilots sit in a cockpit at the front of the fuselage. Passengers and cargo are carried in the rear of the fuselage and the fuel is usually stored in the wings. For a fighter plane, the cockpit is normally on top of the fuselage, weapons are carried on the wings, and the engines and fuel are placed at the rear of the fuselage.
The weight of an aircraft is distributed all along the aircraft. The fuselage, along with the passengers and cargo, contribute a significant portion of the weight of an aircraft. The center of gravity of the aircraft is the average location of the weight and it is usually located inside the fuselage. In flight, the aircraft rotates around the center of gravity because of torques generated by the elevator, rudder, and ailerons. The fuselage must be designed with enough strength to withstand these torques

List of World War II military aircraft of Germany

List of World War II military aircraft of Germany

This list covers German aircraft of the Second World War that served in the Luftwaffe during World War II as defined by the years 1939–1945. Number designations are largely by the RLM designation system, although in this list they are partially organized by manufacturer and role.
The Luftwaffe of the Third Reich officially existed from 1933–1945; training for a German air force had been going on as early as the 1920s, before the Nazis came to power. The first list attempts to focus on the more significant aircraft that participated in the main part of the war. The second is a more all-encompassing list to include the time before, although projects are not covered. Captured aircraft also have a list. Internal projects of manufacturers are not listed, nor are many prototypes. A list of aircraft of the period from 1933–1945 can be found at list of RLM aircraft designations in the form of the Reich Aviation Ministry's list of aircraft. Planes from all branches are currently listed.

Introduction to Listings

A plane's number was usually related to its RLM designation and sometimes to its manufacturer (foreign ones with captured aircraft). The RLM-GL/C designations are not all correct and sometimes are used twice. The RLM would sometimes reassign numbers. Some pre-1933 aircraft just used their company names, etc.. The Aircraft names are the most common names. Other key data are sometimes listed afterward. See RLM aircraft designation system for a full explanation of the RLM system.

Primary Aircraft

This list does not primarily include projects, prototypes or captured aircraft but consists mostly of the most common aircraft of the German Luftwaffe that participated in the Second World War. A full list of project aircraft and captured aircraft can be found at list of RLM aircraft designations in the form of the Reich Aviation Ministry's list of aircraft.
See German aircraft production during WW2 for the most produced types.
