A similar double deck concept was used in Boeing's later Ultra-Large Aircraft study intended to replace the 747, but ultimately the double deck concept would not see the light of day until the Airbus A380 in the 2000s.

Realising that a British company would have more chance to sell his models to the British government, in 1915, he set up the Blériot Manufacturing Aircraft Company Ltd.

Working for the Ministry of Aircraft Production, as well as doing his own job at Vickers, he works feverishly to make practical his theory of a bouncing bomb which would skip over the water to avoid protective torpedo nets.

During World War II, Winston Churchill, the new British Prime Minister, would appoint him as Minister of Aircraft Production and later Minister of Supply.

However, local campaign groups, including Luton and District Association for the Control of Aircraft Noise ( LADACAN ) and Stop Luton Airport Plan ( SLAP ) opposed the new expansion plans, for reasons including noise pollution and traffic concerns ; LADACAN also claimed that various sites, including Someries Castle, a Scheduled Monument, would be threatened by the expansion.

Alexander Kartveli was called to the Army's Experimental Aircraft division and told of the new requirements, and that the P-44 would not be ordered in its current configuration.

Aircraft deviation from the optimal path is indicated to the flight crew by means of a display dial ( a carry over from when an analog meter movement would indicate deviation from the course line via voltages sent from the ILS receiver ).

NASA administrator T. Keith Glennan decided on 19 April that Douglas Aircraft Company would be awarded the contract.

Aircraft would be serviced by other airlines at airports without CA operations.

The Harrier is a well-known vertical take-off and landing ( VTOL ) aircraft designed at Hawker Siddeley, which would later merge into the British Aircraft Corporation ( BAC ), now known as BAE Systems.

In a conference held on January 16, 1941, it was decided that the General Aircraft Hamilcar, under development at the time, would be used to transport a single tank or two Universal Carriers.

On August 1,, the day before the first anniversary of the accident, the Yankees filed a $ 4. 5-million lawsuit against Cessna Aircraft Co. and Flight Safety International, Inc. ( the company who was training Munson to fly ) with team spokesman John J. McCarty saying " we asked for $ 4. 5 million because that is what Munson would be worth if the Yankees traded him.

English Electric Aircraft would become a founding member of the British Aircraft Corporation in 1960 with the other industrial operations acquired by GEC in 1968.

In January 1985 the trustees announced they would sell Hughes Aircraft either by private sale or public stock offering.

He had been an Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association member for more than 50 years, and would occasionally talk about flying to his radio audience.

After World War One he co-founded Hawker Aircraft, the firm that would later be responsible for a long series of successful military aircraft.

This case is politically distinct in the sense that the government of Israel-which strongly denounced other cases of Aircraft hijacking-endorsed this one and declared its participants to be heroes and martyrs for the Zionist cause.

Aircraft with special characteristics that give them unique capabilities will often display those in their demos ; For example, Russian fighters with Thrust vectoring may be used to perform Pugachev's Cobra or the Kulbit, among other difficult manoeuvers that cannot be performed by other aircraft.

Aircraft systems may be quadruplexed ( four independent channels ) to prevent loss of signals in the case of failure of one or even two channels.

Subsequent work at the Royal Aircraft Establishment investigated axial turbine designs that could be used to supply power to a shaft and thence a propeller.

Aircraft designed according to Whitcomb's area rule looked odd at the time they were first tested, ( e. g., the Blackburn Buccaneer ), and were dubbed " flying Coke bottles ," but the area rule is effective and came to be an expected part of the appearance of any transonic aircraft.

* February 2 – The word Aerospace is coined, from the words Aircraft ( aero ) and Spacecraft ( space ), taking into consideration that the Earth's atmosphere and outerspace is to be one, or a single realm.

Aircraft may be stored or maintained at an airport.

Aircraft which are only passing through the airspace must also contact Tower Control in order to be sure that they remain clear of other traffic.

Aircraft were to be used for systematic air observation of German troop movements to and on the battlefield, to avoid the failures of previous battles where too few aircraft had been burdened with too many duties in bad weather.

Aircraft or scaled models of them can be mounted on the three struts in the foreground which in this picture hold individual airplane wing portions.

Two years later, learning that Geoffrey de Havilland, who was then at the Royal Aircraft Factory in Farnborough, might be available, Holt Thomas invited de Havilland to join Airco as chief designer.

Aircraft and projects designed under the Ha and BV designations can be found at:

Aircraft with APUs can also accept electrical and pneumatic power from ground equipment when an APU has failed or is not to be used.

Aircraft noise can be reduced by using quieter jet engines.

The Royal Aircraft Establishment at Farnborough was given the job of considering how the missile could be adapted as a satellite launching vehicle, in conjunction with other rocket stages.

At the time of the merger, Douglas Aircraft was estimated to be less than a year from bankruptcy.

Aircraft with tail-wheel undercarriages had not been greatly affected by slush, due to the geometry of these undercarriages in relation to the aircraft's centre of gravity, but newer types, such as the Ambassador, with nose wheel landing-gear and the main wheels behind the centre of gravity, were found to be vulnerable.

Aircraft may be used for instruction or flown by pilots with a valid private license, and at least 30 hours flight time.

Aircraft using the approach can be observed from various parks on the river's west bank.

British intelligence at the Air Ministry, led by R V Jones, were aware of the system initially because a downed German bomber's Lorenz system was analysed by the Royal Aircraft Establishment and seen to be far too sensitive to be a mere landing aid.
