...Alexander Bolonkin Purpose This paper aims to suggest a new revolutionary method and installation for flight on Earth and into outer space. Design/methodology/approach Methods of electromagnetic physics are used for research and the theory of levitation vehicles is developed and its...

... of helicopters in maneuvering flight is given. Three aerobatic maneuvers for loop, roll and turn are specially analyzed in detail and the sample calculations are presented. The method established in this paper is of practical significance for aerobatic employment and design of helicopters. © Emerald Group...

...Sait N. Yurt; İbrahim Ozkol; Chingiz Hajiyev A flight simulator must be designed to generate the correct acceleration cues, attitudes and vibrations to the flight compartment to provide an extra degree of realism for the pilots. Therefore, such a system, which has six degrees of freedom (dof...

...E.C.P. Ransom In this paper, a brief history of the links between the Wright brothers and the Aeronautical Society has been discussed. © MCB UP Limited 2003 Flight History The first man carrying powered flight on 17 December 1903 was hardly noticed by the public. Only a few days...

... formations according to missions. © MCB UP Limited 2003 Aerospace Flight According to the , it is obvious that the relative dynamics () includes explicitly the independent variable θ rather than the time t. That is, cannot be expressed directly with the independent...

... orbit to the moon and earth parking orbit are carried out separately and some computations for the flight trajectory concept have been made too. To reduce the fuel needed for error in orbital maneuver efficiently and satisfy the requirements on the launch window, some detailed design and analysis...

... for advanced manoevrability airplanes: Cobra, Kulbit, Hook, Bell, Herbst manoeuvre. Although helicopter is “originally” thrust controlled, systematic researches on this field are still not conducted. The paper deals with the problem of helicopter flight mechanics at low flight speeds. The purpose of performed...
