The Rutan Model 202 Boomerang is an aircraft designed and built by Burt Rutan, with the first prototype taking flight in 1996. [1] The design was intended to be a multi-engine aircraft that in the event of failure of a single engine would not become dangerously difficult to control due to asymmetric thrust .
The CAC Boomerang is a fighter aircraft designed and manufactured in Australia by the Commonwealth Aircraft Corporation between 1942 and 1945. Approved for production shortly following the Empire of Japan's entry into the Second World War, the Boomerang was rapidly designed as to meet the urgent demands for fighter aircraft to equip the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF).
The Rutan model 76 Voyager was the first airplane to fly nonstop, without refueling around the world. Piloted by Rutan's brother Dick and Jeana Yeager the airplane made the round the world flight over 9 days in December 1986. [43] Around-the-world flights had been accomplished by military crews using in-flight refueling. [44]

The CA-15, piloted by Flt Lt J.A.L. Archer, over Melbourne, photographed from the rear turret of an Avro Lincoln bomber. Development was further slowed by the end of the war, with the prototype flying for the first time on 4 March 1946, [6] and was flown by CAC test pilot Jim Schofield, who also flew the first Australian built P-51.
Comparison of the Grumman F4F Wildcat between folded and unfolded wings North American XB-70 in flight with 65% percent (fully folded) wing position. Since the monoplane supplanted the biplane in the late 1930s, virtually all fixed-wing aircraft designed for shipboard duty have been equipped with folding wings.

An asterisk (*) indicates that the program is also airing on MeTV Toons. Two asterisks (**) indicate that the program is also airing on Discovery Family.
Longitudinal dihedral is a comparatively obscure term related to the pitch axis of an airplane. It is the angle between the zero-lift axis of the wing and the zero-lift axis of the horizontal tail. Longitudinal dihedral can influence the nature of controllability about the pitch axis and the nature of an aircraft's phugoid -mode oscillation.
