High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles A parasite aircraft is a component of a composite aircraft which is carried, and air launched by, a mother ship aircraft.The first use for parasite aircraft was in 1916, when the British used a Bristol Scout, flying from a Felixstowe Porte Baby, a giant flying boat of its time. This eventually developed into modern jet bombers carrying fully capable fighter aircraft. In some cases, these aircraft are able to return to their mother ship. As fighter capabilities increased, this role was seen as less and less necessary. Author: Surhone, Lambert M./ Tennoe, Mariam T./ Henssonow, Susan F.

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles An aircraft report, colloquially air report, is a message from an inflight aircraft to a ground station. These reports describe weather conditions in the upper layers of the atmosphere. AIREPs are prepared in conformity with requirements for position and operational and/or meteorological reporting and are also the name for coding of the report, being encoded according to the AFMAN manual 15124 pages 3235. An AIREP normally consists of the aircrafts identifier, position, date and time, flight level, ETA over its next reporting point, destination ETA, fuel remaining, and meteorological information. AIREPs are usually reported at intervals of 10 degrees longitude and are used primarily by airline class aircraft due to the increased tendency of these aircraft to fly at higher altitudes.

Glider aircraft are heavierthanair craft that are supported in flight by the dynamic reaction of the air against their lifting surfaces, and whose free flight does not depend on an engine. Mostly these types of aircraft are intended for routine operation without engines, though engine failure can force other types of aircraft to glide. There are a wide variety of types differing in the construction of their wings, aerodynamic efficiency, location of the pilot and controls. Some may have powerplants to take off and/or extend flight. Some are designed simply to descend, but the most common varieties exploit meteorological phenomena to maintain or even gain height. These types are principally used for the air sports of gliding, hang gliding and paragliding. Perhaps the most familiar type is the paper aeroplane.

Aircraft Maintenance Technician, as used in the United States, refers to an individual who holds a Mechanic certificate issued by the Federal Aviation Administration; the rules for certification, and for certificateholders, are detailed in Subpart D of Part 65 of the Federal Aviation Regulations (FARs), which are part of Title 14 of the Code of Federal Regulations. Aircraft Maintenance Technicians (AMTs) inspect and perform or supervise maintenance, preventive maintenance, and alteration of aircraft and aircraft systems. In the U.S., Aircraft Maintenance Technicians usually refer to themselves as APs, for Airframe and Powerplant Mechanics. The Canadian equivalent of an AMT is an Aircraft Maintenance Engineer.

Aircraft carriers are warships that evolved from ballooncarrying wooden vessels into nuclear powered vessels carrying dozens of fixed and rotary wing aircraft. Since their introduction they have allowed naval forces to project air power great distances without having to depend on local bases for staging aircraft operations. Balloon carriers were the first ships to deploy manned aircraft, used during the 19th and early 20th century, mainly for observation purposes. The advent of fixed wing aircraft in 1903 was followed in 1910 by the first flight from the deck of a US Navy cruiser. Seaplanes and seaplane tender support ships, such as HMS Engadine, followed. The development of flat top vessels produced the first large fleet ships. This evolution was well underway by the mid 1920s, resulting in ships such as the HMS Hermes, Hsh, and the Lexingtonclass aircraft carriers. World War II saw the first largescale use of aircraft carriers and induced further refinement of their design, leading to several variants. Escort aircraft carriers, such as USS Bogue, were built as a stopgap measure to provide air support for convoys and amphibious invasions Author: Miller, Frederic P./ Vandome, Agnes F./ McBrewster, John Binding Type: Paperback Number of Pages: 72 Publication Date: 2009/11/24 Language: English Dimensions: 5.98 x 9.01 x 0.17 inches
Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The Royal Aircraft Factory S.E.4a was an experimental British singleengined scout aircraft of the First World War. Four S.E.4a aircraft were built, being used for research purposes and as homedefence fighters by the Royal Flying Corps. In spite of its type number it had little or no relationship to the earlier S.E.4. In 1915, Henry Folland of the Royal Aircraft Factory designed a new singleengined scout aircraft, the S.E.4a. While it had a similar designation to Follands earlier Royal Aircraft Factory S.E.4 of 1914, which had been designed to be the fastest aircraft in the world, the S.E.4a was fundamentally a new aircraft, intended to investigate the relationship between stability and manoeuvrability, and for possible operational use.

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles Submarine aircraft carriers are submarines equipped with fixed wing aircraft for observation or attack missions. These submarines saw their most extensive use during World War II, although their operational significance remained rather small. The most famous of them were the Japanese I400 class submarine and the French submarine Surcouf, although a few similar craft were built by other nations navies as well. Except for the I400 and AM classes, those submarine aircraft carriers which were actually built used their aircraft in a supporting role (usually for reconnaissance), unlike the typical surface aircraft carrier, which describes a ship whose main function is serving as a base for combat aircraft. However, both real concepts and many fictional submarine aircraft carriers were created with the same role. Author: Surhone, Lambert M./ Timpledon, Miriam T./ Marseken, Susan F.

Have any production aircraft used an electric power taxi system?
I'm not talking about demonstrators - I know of lots of those.
Because of fuel prices, airlines are looking at this again. At least one company - WheelTug - is trying to get their product accepted. Potential fuel savings could be quite large if main engines are left off during taxi.
No it's never been done. There's no need to duplicate anything in an airplane except for flight safety reasons. If an airplane can get around on the ground with its flight engines, that's good enough. Why add 500lbs of electric power when the existing power does the job just fine? The extra 500lbs means the airplane would carry 3 fewer paying passengers.
