Airspeed Comes Up for Air from Airspeed by Stephen Force (Steve Tupper) | You might be wondering, "Where the heck is Airspeed?" And you could be forgiven for wondering that. I haven't gotten a new episode out for some time. But it's all going to be worthwhile. I haven't been idle! Unless you've hidden your iPod under a rock, you know that I've been working on the Acro Camp movie project with virtually every spare moment of time. It turns out that there's an unreal amount of stuff to get in order for making a movie. And, being that I'm both a lawyer and persnickety about how the legal structure of a project works, I've had to draft virtually every document from scratch after researching the subject matter pretty thoroughly…

Winter comes to Australia's loneliest jet runway from Plane Talking by Ben Sandilands | Wilkins gets busy, photo Martin Boyle © Commonwealth of Australia - After a 'summer' in which melt water caused hassles for researchers, and even an Airbus A319, the darkness and cold of polar night has closed in on the Wilkins Blue Ice runway, a 70 kilometres and three hours long big tractor ride from Australia's Casey Station. The last flight on the Hobart-Wilkins run flew on March 2, but the photos and stories that can be accessed on the Casey web site are too interesting to overlook any longer…

Museums Special Section - Aboard the Intrepid, Putting a Fighter Jet Back Together - NYTimes.com from http://www.nytimes.com/ THE Grumman F9F Cougar had seen better days, some of them flying in Navy fighter squadrons in the 1950s. But then it was retired and ended up spending years in a park in New Jersey as perhaps the world's coolest jungle gym. Now it's a mess — the once-smooth metal skin rough and spotted, holes here and there. The fuselage is in two pieces. And the wings have been taken off, which, for a high-performance jet aircraft, is a real insult…

Swisscopter Dragonfly DF1: Tip-Jet Helo That Might Actually Work! by Martt - During the first minute of this video you're very likely gonna think: watch out, crazy people alert! But that will soon transform to something more like: hmm, this thing is very interesting and really seems like a totally stable flying platform with serious potential. What strikes me is that this may be the first time we've seen a truly viable solution to the idea of having a tip-powered rotor. As the video of the Hiller HJ-1 I posted a while back shows, the tip-powered rotor idea has been around for a long time. It just seems like there's always been hurdles too high to clear that have keep the concept from having a genuine application…
Dragonfly jet-powered helicopter runs on H2O2, shuns traditional tail rotors (video) from Engadget by Tim Stevens | Your average whirleybird is driven by a big motor in the middle, spinning the blades one way and, as per Newton, rotating the body of the craft the other. A tail rotor counteracts the force, but a more efficient solution is to have the rotors power themselves, which is exactly how the Dragonfly DF1 works. It has tiny, hydrogen-peroxide jets on the blade tips, spinning them up without pushing the body of the helo in the other way -- though a small tail rotor is still needed to turn the craft. It's much like the tech that propelled James Bond toward his waiting DB5 in Thunderball, but unlike that jetpack this copter can fly for up to 50 minutes…
Aviation Trivia of the Day by JP Santiago | One of the more unique flying boats to be built was the Dornier Do 212 which began its water trials in 1942.

A Fairey What? from Ares by Bill Sweetman - When Jetcal commented on an earlier post that the JSF was shaping up as a modern-day Breda Ba88 and I remarked that the Lince was an Italian Fairey Battle, less historically minded readers might have been confused, However... The Fairey Battle was not, as you might think, a brawl on Old Compton Street but one of Britain's less successful bombers. Resembling a scaled-up fighter, it looked fast in pre-WW2 publicity photos and was intended to survive by speed, with only a single .303 machine gun for rear defense…
