Landing accident / DFW C.V reconnaissance aircraft
Image by drakegoodman
Nothing on reverse.
The DFW C.V series of aircraft was particularly noted for its good handling characteristics, power derived from its Benz engine and strong dog-fighting capabilities, even when matched against the best aircraft fielded by the Allies. Primarily fielded as a reconnaissance aircraft the C.V was in actuality a multipurpose platform capable of handling most sorties of the day.
Some 3,250 DFW C.V aircraft were produced under the banners of DFW, Aviatik and Halberstadt among others.
One of the more interesting design characteristics of the C.V (and other World War 1 aircraft) was the tall chimney-type exhaust tower for the engine. One can only think that such a structure did not endear itself well to pilots in a dogfight, considering the engine and chimney assembly sat in front of the pilot. Wings were of standard fair, though not staggered but the lower assembly shorter than the upper.
Construction was mostly of wood covered in fabric though some metal was used in the tail section. Armament of the C.V consisted of a single 7.92mm Spandau type MG08/15 synchronized machine gun in a fixed-forward position operated by the pilot and a single 7.92mm Parabellum type MG14 machine gun in the rear cockpit operated by the observer/gunner. Up to 100 kilograms of external stores could also be utilized when in the strike role. It should be noted that the C.V utilized some impressive aerodynamic designing in its fuselage.
In combat, the C.V proved to be an ace-maker especially when coupled with the impressive Benz series engines. Speed and handling were reportedly quite good and made even better in experienced hands. The C.VI appeared in single example form as an improved C.V model but this never materialized into a full production run. The C.V went on to see life after the conflict for a time and ultimately saw service with Estonia, Finland, Poland and the Ottoman Empire to name a few.

What determines the amount of speed a turning aircraft loses?
Question by kenwg051: What determines the amount of speed a turning aircraft loses?
I’m trying to model characteristics of various aircraft for a WWII air combat game, and need to know how turns affect speed for various aircraft profiles; ex, light aircraft like the Japanese ki-27 Nate or Zero vs heavier aircraft like the F4F Wildcat or P-40 Warhawk. Thanks.
All the answers so far have been helpful. Nobody mentions weight as a factor – so I assume that given the same bank, angle of attack, etc, a heavy plane will decelerate at the same rate as a light one?

1951 Gloster Aircraft Company
Image by brizzle born and bred
Gloster Aircraft Company Gloucestershire UK
The Gloster Aircraft Company was formed at Hucclecote, Gloucestershire in 1915, as the Gloucestershire Aircraft Company. In 1926 the name of the company was abbreviated to Gloster because customers outside of the United Kingdom found the original name too difficult to pronounce.
The company produced the Gloster Gladiator; Hawker Hurricane; Hawker Typhoon; Gloster Meteor and Gloster Javelin and its test runway became famous for the first flight of Sir Frank Whittle’s turbo-jet aircraft.
The Gloster Aircraft Company (known locally as GAC) drew upon an employment pool from the surrounding area and it was responsible for much of the growth in the development of housing estates which were halted by the outbreak of World War II.
During the war Brockworth and the surrounding area was bombed by the Luftwaffe in an attempt to halt its production of vital war materials.
In 1939 the company built 1,000 Hawker Hurricanes in the first 12 months of World War II and it delivered its last of 2,750 Hurricanes in 1942.
Production was then switched to building 3,330 Hawker Typhoons for the Royal Air Force. On April 8, 1941 the first test flight of the Gloster E28/39 with a turbo-jet engine invented by Sir Frank Whittle took off from company airfield at Brockworth.
This formed the basis for the Gloster Meteor, the only jet to be used by the Allied Forces during World War II.
In 1945 it gained a world speed record of 606 mph and it was eventually put into service by 12 nations.
Following World War II it took the area many years to revive; but after the mid-1950s, renewed housing growth, the development of motorways and redistricting eventually changed the entire look of Brockworth and what were once adjoining villages.
In 1952 the Brockworth factory produced the two seat, delta-winged Gloster Javelin which was developed as an all weather fighter that could fly above 50,000 feet at almost the speed of sound.
In 1962 the Gloster Aircraft Company closed down and its once famous test runway fell victim of redistricting and it is now within the boundary of Hucclecote.
The site of the airfield has now been redeveloped as the modern Gloucester Business Park, with additional housing developments continuing to grow around it.

Ensure Airworthiness with Aircraft Corrosion Control
Ensure Airworthiness with Aircraft Corrosion Control
Overview
Most aircraft components are made of metal, making them susceptible to corrosion. From the time an aircraft is exposed to the elements, particularly damp, salty marine environments, corrosion becomes a concern. Even with the advent of better materials, staying on top of aircraft corrosion inspections and performing immediate repair and treatment of corroded areas is extremely important to ensure your aircraft is airworthy.
Corrosion is the deterioration of metal by either chemical or electrochemical attack, and can take place on either internal or external surfaces. Corrosion typically changes the surface of your aircraft, weakening the interior or loosening or damaging adjacent components. There are many factors that affect corrosion, including climate and foreign material, such as soil, oil, great, salt water, spilled battery acids, caustic cleaning solutions, welding and brazing flux residues. That is why continual inspections, prevention treatments and repairs are necessary parts of a good aircraft corrosion control program.
Aircraft Corrosion Inspection
There are two general classifications of corrosion – direct chemical attack and electrochemical attack. In both types, the metal is converted into a metallic compound such as an oxide, hydroxide or sulfate. Forms of corrosion include:
Surface
Dissimilar Metal
Intergranular
Stress
Fretting
To perform a thorough inspection, it is important to know what areas are most prone to corrosion. These include:
Exhaust Trail Areas
Battery Compartments and Battery Vent Openings
Bilge Areas
Wheel Well and Landing Gear
Water Entrapment Areas
Engine Frontal Areas
Cooling Air Vents
Wing Flap and Spoiler Recesses
External Skin Areas
Inspections should be performed daily, particularly on those aircraft that are on or near water.
A detailed inspection will include the following steps:
Thorough cleaning of the area being inspected.
Perform a visual inspection with a magnifying glass.
Remove paint from areas that are of concern.
Perform a second visual inspection with a magnifying glass.
Refer to the appropriate structural repair manual for damage limits. It is important to consider prior metal loss, including metal on each side of the damage, when assessing corrosion damage.
Upon completion of the aircraft corrosion inspection, any damage found must be evaluated. Typically the severity of corrosion damage is grouped as follows:
Light – scarred protective coating or light surface corrosion characterized by discoloration and pitting to a depth of approximately 1-mil maximum.
Moderate – similar to light except there are typically blisters of evidence or scaling and flaking. Pit depths may be as deep as 10 mils.
Severe – Often includes severe intergranular corrosion, blistering, scaling or flaking. Pit depths are deeper than 10 mils.
Repairable damage –Corrosion damage exceeds the limits of the MIM or SRM. The affected part may be used after repair.
Nonrepairable damage – damage exceeds established repair limits and must be replaced or require a special depot-level repair.
Aircraft Corrosion Repair and Treatment
Complete corrosion treatment involves cleaning and stripping the area, removing as much of the corrosion as practical, neutralizing any residual materials in pits and crevices, restoring protective surface films and applying temporary or permanent coatings or paint finishes. There are various blasting techniques that remove corrosion while leaving as much metal intact as possible, including:
Vapor
Soft-grit
Dry vacuum
Dry honing (the only approved method of removing corrosion on assembled aircraft)
If the corrosion is severe, then an abrasive wheel can be used. This device is meant to be used on thick metal and requires eye protection to be used at all times. All aircraft corrosion repairs must be made in accordance with the appropriate manuals while using proper measures to ensure the safety of the person making the repairs.
Aircraft Corrosion Control
While many improvements have been made to the materials and coatings used to protect aircraft from corrosion, developing a solid aircraft corrosion treatment and control program is an important part of every maintenance plan. Detailed daily inspections are needed, and all preventative maintenance programs should include:
Thorough rinsing and cleaning to remove salt and other corrosive agents. Pay special attention to exposed areas such as landing gear.
Periodic lubrication to seal the metal against moisture.
Immediate treatment of corrosion and touchup of damaged paint areas.
Keep drain holes free of blockage.
Drain fuel cell sumps daily.
Wipe down exposed critical areas every day.
Seal aircraft against water for protection during foul weather,
Proper ventilation of aircraft to prevent moisture from gathering.
Use protective covers on parked aircraft, particularly during inclement weather.
Aircraft corrosion repair can be very costly, particularly if the corrosion goes unnoticed for a period of time. Developing an aircraft corrosion control program that includes appropriate inspections, treatments and timely repairs will save time, money and ensure the safety of your aircraft while in flight.

In a jammed city or a concrete jungle city, parking problem exist not only for vehicle drivers in the city but also to major airlines companies. Due to lesser space, parking becomes a big problem. The aircraft storage and parking is highly expensive. These expenses are huge add-ons on list of expenditure for airlines companies. The duration to park the aircraft at lesser rates on long or short term basis totally depends on airlines companies and their necessity. Many aircraft operators require storing aircraft for more than one reason like: seasonal and climatic fluctuation or specific market condition or leasing contract termination. The aircraft parking is permitted for a limited period of time as per the documented communication. The airline companies need to have a written permission that they can park their aircraft for specific period of time specifically allocated for aircraft parking.
The aircraft storage and aircraft parking is a concern of EASA Part-145 AMO that takes care of parking the airbus at all geographic locations. The inspection of aircraft is a big challenge for EASA Part-145 AMO. Apart from aircraft parking; it also takes charge of aircraft maintenance. Aircraft like other machines need to undergo regular maintenance procedure in order to keep the aircraft functional. The cost of the aircraft maintenance is expensive though. Poor maintenance can lead to heavy risk and huge uncertainty. However, aircraft maintenance is quite a large course of an action; one should adhere to it and undertake it at regular intervals. Aircraft maintenance is not a rocket science. There just few procedures and hierarchy that repairs team has to follow. As per the norm, after every flight, the aircraft have to undergo an examination by the engineers of aircraft maintenance squad. Inspection and audit of engines follows a specific schedule. Work such as replacing tires, inspection plates, checking cylinder compression and washing windows, this all falls under aircraft maintenance.
Once the utility term of the aircraft expires, it is outsourced to the dispose department i.e. aircraft disposal. This is a big challenge for EASA Part-145 because it’s a lengthy process and it takes a whole lot of time. Aircraft Dispose team undertakes the decomposing of airbus. Most of the parts are burned while some aircraft parts are thrown at trash area. The aircraft is assembled in one area. Parts such as airframes and engine modular are recycled. It’s mandatory to dispose the hazardous materials that are harmful for health and to also relocate some parts. EASA Part-145 AMO is located in most part of the world which includes all the top airlines companies that deals with aircrafts maintenance disposal, storage and parking. EASA Part-145 AMO also provides service certification for parts and machinery that is removed from the aircraft subject to the severe criteria. It’s means once done with aircraft disposal, then the parts that can be recycled or used for any other purpose should taken out and outsourced to other companies and then finally have the aircraft disposed completely.

Cost, Condition and Documents Forms the Basics for Aircraft for Sale PKW: Aircraft for Sale
Aircraft sale and purchase of used aircrafts is a total different thing when compared to purchase and sale of other commodities. There are many enthusiasts who crave for having a used airplane. Though the idea of buying an aircraft can seem to be very out of the ordinary but the number of enthusiasts are also not few when it comes to be the owner of an aircraft. We see advertisements such as buy and sell car but we hardly find any advertisement as aircraft for sale anywhere. There can be many online websites from where we can find out information on aircrafts but proper information and ideas on aircraft for sale is very hard to find out. Certain things have to be kept in mind when looking to buy a used aircraft or so.
Buying an aircraft is totally different when compared to buying a car and is really a difficult task. Certain important things need to be properly scrutinized and verified before arriving at the final decision of buying a used aircraft. Some of the important features which need to be kept in mind and then analyze before arriving at any decision is being discussed at the latter portion of the article.
Prerequisites for Aircraft for sale
When looking to buy a used aircraft there are few things which should be checked properly. Condition of the aircraft for sale is the most essential part of your search as both the exterior and interior of the aircraft has to be in a proper condition. It must have a good engine and must be in good shape though it can be hard to find used aircraft for sale to be in a good shape and size. Like when buying a car or a motorbike, test drive is conducted on that particular model, similarly a test flight is also necessary to have a taste of the aircraft which you are looking to purchase. A thorough checkup of the aircraft for sale needs to be done by a proper trained aircraft mechanic.
The cost part is a major concern when buying any used items. A thorough market survey has to be conducted by the buyer before buying an aircraft. There are very few people who have knowledge on aircrafts so a correct payment is being offered or not for the aircraft for sale is also very important. Cost and condition are two important factors considered for aircraft for sale but the documents need to be examined properly as well. It is very important that original documents for the aircraft for sale are in place as owning an aircraft is like possessing a property so documentation is very crucial.
A proper market survey is required for everything and it is important as you will not want to spend more on something which has already been used. Thus it will help you in quoting a correct price for the aircraft for sale which will make you happy and satisfied after purchasing it. So, when entering a market of aircraft for sale you will find lots of brokers and sellers offering to sell their products.
