From 2023 (YouTube edition): The Resurgent Gyroplane Existing at the confluence of the airplane, the helicopter, and the pinwheel, the machine known alternately as the autogiro and the gyrocopter is among powered flight’s stranger birds. Invented by Juan de la Cierva, a Spanish engineer seeking to create an aircraft capable of flying safely at low speeds, the gyrocopter is characterized by a free-spinning rotor impelled to rotation by the passage of air across its blades from below. The downward component of the rotor’s total aerodynamic reaction imparts lift to the vehicle while a separate, longitudinally-oriented, powered-propeller provides forward thrust.

Aero Linx: Brodhead Pietenpol Association The Brodhead Pietenpol Association is a newly reorganized (in 2017) non-profit educational corporation that grew and developed from an earlier type club for owners, pilots, builders, and aficionados of the Pietenpol Aircamper and Sky Scout. The original BPA was started in 1975 (then called the National Pietenpol Association) as a social and builder support group. It has evolved over the years and now, after four decades, has blossomed into a newly re-organized Pietenpol-focused educational organization with part of its mission now including among other activities, promoting aviation safety related to antique amateur-built aircraft, disseminating safe…

Receiver Autonomous Integrity Monitoring (RAIM) A technique whereby a civil GNSS receiver/processor determines the integrity of the GNSS navigation signals without reference to sensors or non-DoD integrity systems other than the receiver itself. This determination is achieved by a consistency check among redundant pseudorange measurements.

In a real-world engagement, the Eurofighter is likely to win the day despite the Tomcat’s still impressive capabilities, maneuverability, and, surprisingly, higher top speed. The technology of its computer-aided flight systems allows the Typhoon to out-maneuver the swing-wing F-14. The weapons of the Typhoon are significantly superior, not only thanks to the missiles themselves, but also the sensors and control systems have the benefits of decades of advances in digital technology. The Grumman F-14 Tomcat is surpassed by the Eurofighter Typhoon in terms of sensors, agility, and survivability. It detects targets long before the F-14 can react, thanks to its…

United Airlines has revealed a raft of major changes to its schedules for the upcoming 2025 / 2026 winter season in the Northern Hemisphere. The carrier is adding flights to a grand total of 15 cities this winter, and, while much of this extra capacity will be deployed domestically, there is also an international flavor. With other major American carriers facing various struggles at present, United is also using its boosted winter schedules as a means of offering extra capacity, should it need to capitalize on passengers from other US airlines needing fresh options. Let’s take a look at the…
