A second reason cited for moving production to Shenyang Aircraft Corporation was Cessna had no plant capacity available in the USA at the time.

Aircraft sextants are now out of production, but had special features.

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 had a presence in all the major battles of World War II.

Aircraft Transport and Travel had been allowed to continue to operate until December 1920.

In June, 1940, formal announcement was made that the de Havilland Aircraft Co., Ltd., had completed negotiations for the purchase from Swan, Hunter and Wigham Richardson, Ltd., of that firm's holding of Airspeed ordinary shares.

Official War Office policy was to purchase only aircraft designed by the Royal Aircraft Establishment, and Bristol had already built a number of their B. E. 2 two-seater reconnaissance aircraft.

They then met John Parker, an investment banker who had run a Chase Aircraft glider subsidiary, Northwest Aeronautical Corporation ( NAC ), in St. Paul, Minnesota.

Smye, born in Hamilton, Ontario, had risen through the ranks of the government's departments overseeing wartime aircraft production, to Assistant General Manager of Federal Aircraft Limited, the Crown Corporation managing production of the Avro Anson at the National Steel Car / Victory Aircraft plant.

Also in the UK in 1967 the go-ahead had been given for the UK's ( separately developed ) three-stage Black Arrow rocket launcher ( made by Westland Aircraft, with Bristol Siddeley rocket engines developed at the Rocket Propulsion Establishment at Westcott, Buckinghamshire )-Britain did not need to rely on Europa, and Black Arrow would be ready first.

At the beginning of July the Chairman of Jowett Cars Limited, AF Jopling ( who at the time was also a senior employee with Blackburn Aircraft ), informed Jowett shareholders at their Annual General Meeting that difficulties had arisen over the future supply of car bodies.

* Later in 1930: The Surrey Aero Club was formed at the aerodrome by a Ronald Waters, who had been the manager of Home Counties Aircraft Service Ltd based at Penshurst Airfield in Kent.

In addition, most of the prime contractors for launch vehicles and related major items ( including North American Aviation, Chrysler, Boeing, Douglas Aircraft, Rocketdyne, and IBM ) collectively had approximately a similar number of employees working in MSFC facilities.

While the first few " Beechcraft " were built in the vacant Cessna Aircraft plant, which had also closed during the depression, Beech later leased and then bought the Travel Air plant from Curtis Wright and moved his factory to this plant.

By 1954, several Aircraft Control and Warning ( Radar ) squadrons had been formed at the base.

Only one week later, on 24 October 2011, Piper Aircraft announced it had “ indefinitely suspended ” all work on the Altaire project and would be laying off 150 of its 850 employees, plus 55 contract workers, due to the program ’ s cancellation.

The loss of Piper Aircraft contributed to an unemployment rate of more than 20 % in Lock Haven in the early 1980s, though the rate had declined to about 9 % by 2000.

Because of this systemic approach UAS have been not included in the United States Munitions List Category VIII – Aircraft and Associated Equipment.

" In January 2011, the licensing agreement with Piper was abruptly ended with Piper CEO Geoffrey Berger saying " the company has a different business perspective and approach to the market than Czech Sport Aircraft ".

The RFC, on the other hand, was reliant on the Royal Aircraft Factory and a lack of competition led to its equipment being over-standardised, inflexible in design approach which generally retarded progress in development.

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

Aircraft making a visual approach are advised of the relevant recommended spacing and are expected to maintain their own separation.

A newer approach is the Electromagnetic Aircraft Launch System ( EMALS ).

Pilot Controlled Lighting ( PCL ), also known as Aircraft Radio Control of Aerodrome Lighting ( ARCAL ) or Pilot Activated Lighting ( PAL ), is a system which allows aircraft pilots to control the lighting of an airport or airfield's approach lights, runway edge lights, and taxiways via radio.

This is because they present a more covert type of precision approach for use on Aircraft carriers.

On July 27, 2010, Roush crash-landed in his Hawker Beechcraft Premier 390 jet, ( registration N6JR ,) during an approach to the Experimental Aircraft Association ( EAA ) AirVenture Fly-In in Oshkosh, Wisconsin in the late afternoon.

Aircraft designed for these races introduced innovations like streamlining and more powerful engines that would find their way into the fighters of World War II.

Douglas Aircraft, builder of the S-IVB stage, was asked to prepare proposals along these lines.

Aircraft use thermometers and hygrometers to determine if atmospheric icing conditions exist along their flight path, and these measurements are used to initialize weather forecast models.

Contributing to these rudder pedal inputs were characteristics of the Airbus A300-600 sensitive rudder system design and elements of the American Airlines Advanced Aircraft Maneuvering Training Program.

Some of these vessels are amongst the largest ( such as supertankers ), most complex ( such as Aircraft carriers ), and highly valued movable structures produced by mankind.

Roe Canada Ltd. was restructured in 1954 as a holding company with two aviation subsidiaries: Avro Aircraft Ltd. and Orenda Engines Ltd., which began operating under these names on 1 January 1955.

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.

This was a devastating setback for Kartveli and Republic Aircraft because Kartveli knew the XP-44 could not be redesigned to meet these new requirements.

Included in this list are the Cody and Dunne designs built and / or tested at Farnborough-although these were not strictly Royal Aircraft Factory types.

Aircraft flying through these clouds seed an abrupt crystallization of these droplets, which can result in the formation of ice on the aircraft's wings or blockage of its instruments and probes, unless the aircraft are equipped with an appropriate de-icing system.

Aircraft specially built for these routes included some of the largest aircraft built between the wars.

Aircraft follow these pre-defined routes to complete a flight plan.

Other types of military engines produced in the second half of the 20th Century include the Avon and Viper ; these engines powered many of the British Aircraft of this period.

More than 5, 000 inmates were incarcerated in these two subcamps, where they were forced to hollow out massive tunnels and build underground factories for Junkers Aircraft of Aircraft Motors Construction Company, which produced military aircraft.

Aircraft storage and the cocooning of some of these planes was the last major activity at Pyote Airfield, which was the responsibility of the 2753d Aircraft Storage Squadron.

Such aircraft included ( apart from the products of the Farman company itself ) the Voisin bombers ( 3, 200 built ), the Vickers F. B. 5 " Gunbus ", and the Royal Aircraft Factory F. E. 2, however even these would find themselves being shunted into training roles before disappearing entirely.

The DeLorean solved these problems by using a solid-steel torsion bar ( supplied by Grumman Aircraft Engineering Corporation ) to counterbalance a full-sized door and then used simple pneumatic struts similar to those found in hatchback cars to open the doors and damp their movement.

Aircraft of these units consisted of a combination of propeller-driven World War II-vintage fighters, modified trainers, Douglas B-26 attack bombers and transports.

Aircraft warning lights continue to operate on each of the 10 43m platforms, however some of these lights have since stopped working.

For the remainder of the First World War the squadron was employed in the Home Defence role in Lincolnshire, guarding against German airship raids against northern England, being first equipped with Royal Aircraft Factory BE. 2s, these being supplemented with Royal Aircraft Factory FE. 2s.
