RB145R engine Top view, showing the air intake for the two fuselage lift engines. Both Heinkel (based on Heinkel He 231) [7] [8] and Messerschmitt (Messerschmitt Me X1-21) [9] [10] had developed designs to meet the requirements of VTOL flight and by 1959, the two companies, along with Bölkow, had created a joint venture company, called EWR, to develop and manufacture an envisioned supersonic ...
Heinkel was the first to develop a jet fighter to prototype stage, the Heinkel He 280, the first Heinkel design to use and fly with retractable tricycle gear. In early 1942, the photographic interpretation unit at RAF Medmenham first saw evidence of the existence of the 280 in aerial reconnaissance photographs taken after a bombing raid on the ...
The Airbus A320 family was the first airliner to feature a full glass cockpit and digital fly-by-wire flight control system. The only analogue instruments were the radio magnetic indicator, brake pressure indicator, standby altimeter and artificial horizon, the latter two being replaced by a digital integrated standby instrument system in later production models.
Heinkel He 178 Jet-powered experimental aircraft, world's first turbojet-powered aircraft to fly (August 1939) Heinkel He 274 Four-engine high-altitude heavy bomber development of the He 177 , two prototypes (of six ordered) completed by the French after war.
Bartini, in collaboration with the Beriev Design Bureau intended to develop the prototype VVA-14 in three phases. The VVA-14M1 was to be an aerodynamics and technology testbed, initially with rigid pontoons on the ends of the central wing section, and later with these replaced by inflatable pontoons.
Accelerate-by-wire or throttle-by-wire, [3] more commonly known as electronic throttle control; Brake-by-wire; Shift-by-wire in automatic transmissions that are manumatic or in automated manual transmissions. This may include park by wire which actuates the parking pawl as part of the shifting system. Steer-by-wire; Fly-by-wire in aviation contexts
Heinkel was born in Grunbach, today a part of Remshalden.As a young man he became an apprentice machinist at a foundry.Heinkel studied at the Technical Academy of Stuttgart, [1] where he initially became interested in aviation through a fascination with Zeppelins, and in 1909 attended an international airshow in Frankfurt am Main.
The Heinkel HD 39 was a special-purpose cargo aircraft developed in Germany in the 1920s to distribute the Berlin newspaper B.Z.. It was a conventional single-bay biplane with staggered wings of equal span , and a fuselage that nearly filled the interplane gap.
