The Aircraft Bluebook Price Digest is a quarterly print publication by Informa (also available on CD-ROM) that was established in the 1950s. It identifies and prices more than 3,000 used general aviation aircraft and helicopter make and model-years available in the United States.
The Rebel is a STOL aircraft and was designed to be a personal-use bush plane. It can operate from short, unimproved airstrips and can carry a useful load of up to 750 lbs. [ 4 ] [ 7 ] The aircraft features a strut-braced high-wing , a two or three seat enclosed cabin accesses via doors, fixed conventional landing gear and a single engine in ...
Designation of aircraft converted from 182G airframes. [6] Wren 460H Designation of aircraft converted from new 182H airframes. Certified June 1965. [6] Wren 460P Conversions by Advanced Lift Systems (later Peterson's Performance Plus). Modified from used 182H through 182M airframes, no option for reversible propeller. [3] Wren 460QB "Quiet Bird".
Energy–maneuverability theory is a model of aircraft performance. It was developed by Col. John Boyd, a fighter pilot, and Thomas P. Christie, a mathematician with the United States Air Force, [1] and is useful in describing an aircraft's performance as the total of kinetic and potential energies or aircraft specific energy.
When using the aircraft, owners also pay for the flight hours and a nominal amount for taxiing. [2] The final cost component is fuel, which has a surcharge above the hourly fee to compensate for price volatility. An owner's share allotment is depleted for actual hours of occupied flight, plus taxiing, with a 1– to 2–hour minimum.
Aircraft performance refers to the ability of airplanes and helicopters to accomplish certain useful things. [1] It is an important consideration when designing and testing aircraft, to ensure the aircraft can be operated in an efficient and economic manner. [ 2 ]
Aircraft engine performance refers to factors including thrust or shaft power for fuel consumed, weight, cost, outside dimensions and life. It includes meeting regulated environmental limits which apply to emissions of noise and chemical pollutants, and regulated safety aspects which require a design that can safely tolerate environmental hazards such as birds, rain, hail and icing conditions.
An analog true airspeed indicator for an airplane. The pilot sets the pressure altitude and air temperature in the top window using the knob; the needle indicates true airspeed in the lower left window. Here the speed is displayed both in knots (kn) and miles per hour (mph).
