Video: "CONSTRUCTION OF BUCKER BU-181 AIRCRAFT RANGSDORF, GERMANY 73572"

 


This silent German educational film shows the construction of a Bücker Bü 181 Bestmann aircraft, one of the Luftwaffe's standard training airplanes throughout WWII.

The prototype Bü 181 (D-ERBV) made its maiden flight in February 1939 with Chief Pilot Arthur Benitz at the controls. After thorough works and official flight testing by the Reichsluftfahrtministerium (RLM) the Bü 181 was nominated to be the standard primary trainer for the Luftwaffe. Series production of the Bü 181 commenced in 1940. The production types were designated B to C with only slight variations between each, and could be powered by the Hirth HM 500 A or B.

The Bü 181 aircraft was a single-engine low-wing monoplane with fixed undercarriage, split flap, twin controls and two adjustable seats arranged side-by-side. The cabin section of the fuselage was of a tubular steel frame construction whereas the rear of the fuselage had a wooden shell. The wing assembly and tail unit were also of wooden shell construct...

The Old Flying Machine Company – Pt.1 – The Founding Father & Son

by Elliott Marsh
Ray and Mark Hanna established the Old Flying Machine Company (OFMC) at IWM Duxford in the mid-1980s. For more than 30 years, it has been at the pinnacle of vintage aircraft operation, setting the bar for dynamic airshow and movie flying. In the first part of our extensive series charting the OFMC's history, Sarah Hanna discusses the organisation's formative years.

Brussels Airport Company : Passenger growth of 11% in February at Brussels Airport


Passenger growth of 11% in February at Brussels Airport

In February, Brussels Airport welcomed more than 1.5 million passengers. That is a considerable rise of 11.2% compared to the same month last year. This rise is partly due to the leap day. The cargo volume at Brussels Airport dropped by 1.8% compared to February last year. Full-freighter traffic, however, has dropped even sharper, with the departure of Ethiopian Cargo.

F-35, F-35 and F-35 again ...

This is not my intention and I am not in the capability to have any influence in the choice of the future fighter to be ordered to replace our F-16's. In the last weeks, the F-35 made at last significant progresses with the first aircraft delivered in Italy and in the UK demonstrating the capability of the fighter to cross the Atlantic Ocean.

Everyonehope to see at least one F-35 at the next Belgian Air force airshow.

However there is still a lot of discussion about this aircraft. You will find hereafter 2 articles I received about the Lightning II.

In conclusion, 2 reflexions I heard a few days ago. "In the last years, The Belgian Air Force always selected the best solutions in term of technology, potential and capability. This is particulary true with the SF-260, the Sea King, the Embraer or the F-16. We can hope the persons in charge of the F-16 will make the same good choice"


"More and more and specially with the new generation of fighters operating in complex environment, the training of the pilots is critical and the needed ressources must be available." This is another reason to be stay optimistic as the training of our pilots stay a high priority for our air force. 




The Planned Acquisition of the F-35 Lightning II (Joint Strike Fighter)
(Source: compiled by Defense-Aerospace.com; posted Feb 26, 2016)
PARIS --- The Australian Senate’s Foreign Affairs, Defence and Trade Committee is currently conducting an inquiry into Australia’s planned acquisition of the F-35 fighter, on which it is due to report in May.

The committee sought submissions from interested parties, and had received 36 by the closing date of Feb. 19. All are available in PDF format on the committee’s web page.

The great majority of these submissions are opposed to the F-35 acquisition, but three – submitted by retired Australian general officers and a Danish air force pilot – are of special interest as their authors, at some point, were involved with the F-35 program and so recount their direct experience rather than opinions.

[Vintage_and_Warbirds_Pictures] VIDEO: RCAF WWII Aviation in Colour

Forwarded message - From: Jeff Rankin-Lowe siriusproductions



 
Library and Archives Canada has uploaded some very interesting WWII colour films. The title is a bit misleading because it's not all RAF and not all from Burma, but don't let that stop you from watching the video. There are lots of items well worth a look.
