Abstract

Purpose

The purpose of this paper is to provide a description of the state of corruption in Serbia, based on available empirical evidence produced by the penal law‐enforcement agencies themselves.

Design/methodology/approach

The paper uses an analysis of available documents, criminal cases of the Municipal Court of Belgrade, data from the Public Prosecution Office and the National Statistical Bureau. Given the scarcity of research in Serbia, the usual inaccessibility of judicial sources, the study is a first reconnaissance based on what is available at present.

Findings

The basic finding is a huge gap between what the people experience about corruption and what is eventually prosecuted. The law‐enforcement agencies address this phenomenon haphazardly and in a fragmented manner, displaying a fundamental lack of data management, resulting in lack of transparency.

Research limitations/implications

Research in such a sensitive area and within a political culture of opacity, addressing incomplete data, will in its first stage yield limited results. The project will be continued with additional interviews with knowledgeable people, extension of the statistics and validation and comparison of other anti‐corruption bodies as far as they have a measurable output.

Practical implications

The short‐term practical implication is that researchers “got over the threshold” and entered the law enforcement “chambers”. Practical applications concern the contribution to transparency, which is required for doing research and impacts on the way the practitioners address their own practice.

Originality/value

The paper addresses a certain field in a country that has so far been only scantly researched.

Abstract

Purpose

This paper presents the longitudinal stability analysis of a single tractor propeller airplane LASTA at high engine power settings. This analysis is part of the ongoing process of certifying the airplane for civil use according to the civil regulations CS-23.

Design/methodology/approach

The design methodology that is presented in the paper consists of comparing flight test aerodynamic and calculation results. The methods used here are standard and routinely used in flight testing.

Findings

Flight testing results indicate that at low airspeeds the cumulative destabilizing effects because of high values of the angle of attack and high power settings are about 6 per cent of MAC. This value is in a very good agreement with published data.

Practical implications

The information presented in this paper are new, and are very specific to this one aircraft configuration. The methods used here are standard and widely used in flight testing.

Originality/value

The information in this paper presents flight test results. There are not many publications in this area.
