From about 2004 to 2011, [4] [5] U.S. military planners used various "Tier systems" to designate the various elements in an overall plan for integrated operations. [6] The Tiers do not refer to specific models of aircraft, but rather roles the aircraft would fill.
Gliders are classified by the FAI for competitions into glider competition classes mainly on the basis of wingspan and flaps. Ultralight "airchair" Goat 1 glider. A class of ultralight sailplanes, including some known as microlift gliders and some known as airchairs, has been defined by the FAI based on weight. They are light enough to be ...
A Medium-Altitude Long-Endurance (MALE) UAV, the Gray Eagle has an increased wingspan compared to the original MQ-1 Predator and is powered by a Thielert Centurion 1.7 Heavy Fuel Engine (HFE). [24] This is a Diesel piston engine that burns jet fuel, giving the aircraft better performance at high altitudes.
The flaperons stretch for 11.0 meters of the full wingspan and their range of motion varies from positive landing L +8°, to +4° for thermalling, to 0°, -4°, and S -8° reflex positions for cruising. Schempp-Hirth-type spoilers extend on the upper wing surface only. There is a fixed main wheel behind the pilot, with shock absorber and drum ...
[1] The highly modified version, the Alisport Silent Club-J is a self-launching aerobatic jet motor glider shown on the U.S. airshow circuit and all over the world by Bob Carlton. [ 2 ] It is powered by twin AMT-USA AT-450 jet engines (200 N (45 Lbf) of thrust each) originally developed for radio-controlled aircraft .
The T-47A was a modified version of the Citation S/II (Model 552) for the U.S. Navy, featuring a 5 ft (1.5 m) wingspan reduction and hydraulically boosted ailerons for enhanced maneuverability, 2,900 lbf (13 kN) thrust JT15D-5 engines, a cockpit roof window for better pilot visibility during hard maneuvering, strengthened windshields for ...
The Lange Antares is a glider built by Lange Aviation produced with three different wingspans, 18, 20 and 23 meters. The 20 and 23 meter variants can be equipped with a 42-kW electric motor and SAFT VL 41M lithium-ion batteries.
18 metre Class (Flaps allowed, 18 m wing-span, water ballast allowed) Open Class (No restrictions except a limit of 850 kg for the maximum all-up weight) Two Seater Class (maximum wing-span of 20 m), also known by the German name "Doppelsitzer" Club Class (This class allows a wide range of older small gliders with different performance, so the ...
