To test the low-speed characteristics of swept wings, the US Navy contracted Bell Aircraft to modify two P-63 Kingcobras [note 1] as test aircraft for use by NACA. [2] These aircraft, assigned the bureau numbers 90060 and 90061, [ note 2 ] were designated L-39-1 and L-39-2 , based on Bell's code letter "L" and the aircraft's model number "39".
Aircraft recycling is the process of scrapping and disassembling retired aircraft, and re-purposing their parts as spare parts or scrap. Airplanes are made of around 800 to 1000 parts that can be recycled, with the majority of them made from metal alloys and composite materials.
The standard engine used is the in-house developed 100 hp (75 kW) Spyder Corvair automotive conversion four-stroke powerplant. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] The manufacturer estimates that building the aircraft from the supplied kit requires 500-1,000 hours of labor at a total completion cost of US$ 40,000-50,000.
The Hipp's J-3, J-5 and Reliant are all very similar aircraft developed from the original J-4, and differing only in fuselage design and wingspan. [1] All aircraft in the series have a 4130 steel tube fuselage and tail assembly. The wings are built from wood, and both the fuselage and wings are covered with doped aircraft fabric. The engine ...

In the 1980s, the B-29 Superfortress Association was formed to acquire aircraft built at United States Air Force Plant 6. [a] After many years, it was incorporated in 2002.. Then, in 2005, a parcel of 15.5 acres (0.063 km 2) was leased from the United States Air Force to the government of Cobb County for the creation of a 45,000 sq ft (4,200 m 2) muse
The aircraft has a 4130 steel tube frame fuselage and a wing constructed from aluminium tubing, all covered in doped fabric. The wings are equipped with slotted-style flaps and fold for transport or storage without a requirement to disconnect the flaps and ailerons. The landing gear is bungee suspended. The Sky Raider has a fully enclosed ...
