Abstract

I AM delighted to dedicate my hundredth publication to a young and forward‐looking institution with clearly defined long‐term objectives and well considered determination to live up to the requirements of modern aeronautics and space technology— to the Department of Aeronautics and Space Technology (DEPAST) of the Northampton College of Advanced Technology. Unavoidably, I am looking at the DEPAST‐NCL, through the critical eyes of experience gained in the U.S.S.R., U.S.A., Germany, France, Holland and, of course, in Great Britain; and yet I feel I can say coram populo—coram publico that here we have something British, yet as dynamic and vigorous as any Continental or American educational/ research establishment known to me.

Abstract

Kagati airfield in Kenya is to be the scene or an interesting first flight on Christmas Day, according to a report in the Daily Nation, of Nairobi. The aircraft is at present under construction by Mr Morris Tito Gachamba. Span is to be 39 ft., with an 18 ft. long fuselage. The powerplant is a 650 cc. motorcycle engine. The machine is to be painted green and it will have the Kanu flag colours on the fin. This is the second home‐built aeroplane that Mr Gachamba has constructed, and has been named ‘Kenya One’. Mr Gachamba has spent £42 10s. on the project to date, and is now seeking a sponsor. Mr G. N. Githinji, vice‐chairman of the Nyeri County Council, inspected the aircraft recently and has donated four corrugated iron sheets for the wings.

Abstract

THE development of a shock tube by the Department of Aerodynamics and Space Technology commenced in September, 1961, and was completed towards the end of 1962. The shock tube and the shock tunnel will fulfil two functions. They will serve primarily as teaching facilities, with post graduate courses in view and will also be used as an advanced tool for staff research.

Abstract

IN major airlines now, the engineering function has progressed far beyond simple maintenance. When less complicated aircraft were operated on simpler route patterns, the scope of skilled licensed engineers sufficed, but complexity has so multiplied the problems that now management of maintenance has assumed a large role in the engineering function. Further, many airlines now employ technical staff to study and improve the equipment in use, to compare alternative possible replacements and to specify the engineering requirements of aircraft for future operations.

Abstract

A team from Lockheed led by Carl Kotchian, executive vice‐president, were in London towards the end of October to confer with B.O.A.C. on their SST proposal. International and some U.S. domestic airlines had been asked to submit comments to the F.A.A. on the two U.S. SST proposals by October 31, and the company wanted to make sure that B.O.A.C. had no queries in their submission before the deadline. A decision on Phase 3 of the U.S. SST programme, which covers the construction of two prototypes and a hundred hours of development Hying, is to be taken by January 1, 1967.

Abstract

MAIDEN FLIGHT OF FIRST PRODUCTION BEAGLE 5.206. On February 28, the first production Beagle B.206 from the assembly line at Rearsby, Leicester, plant of Beagle Aircraft Ltd., made its maiden flight. This aircraft is the first of a batch of 22 to be delivered to the Ministry of Aviation and the Royal Air Force for whom it will replace the veteran Anson as a communications aircraft.

Abstract

From an article discussing inerlial navigation systems for civil applications published in the January 1964 issue of Aircraft Engineering: ‘The indications are that current inertial navigation systems might cost anything between £15,000 and £50,000 and … some of the airlines are taking the attitude that they are only prepared to invest a sum of this order if there are financial savings elsewhere.’ ‘For example, dispensing with one of the crew.’
