Schneider Trophy Aircraft 1913-1931

At the end of 1912, Jacques Schneider announced his intention to present an annual trophy for an international seaplane contest. There were only twelve Schneider contests, but these were major international events, which came to rival others in Britain, Italy, France, and the US.
Biplane seaplanes and flying boats predominated the early contests and some very advanced twin-float biplanes were among the winners as late as 1925. Of all contenders, it was the monoplane which was to become the symbol of the Schneider Trophy, when its Supermarine and Macchi designs reached the apex of seaplane -racing performance.

The final, winning combination of a Supermarine airframe and Rolls-Royce engine made a vital contribution to Britain's defence in 1940, in the form of the Rolls-Royce powered Hurricane and Spitfire.

This book gives a detailed account of the contests; the design, development, and achievements of both aircraft which took part and which failed to; and the advanced ? and sometimes unrealistic ? ideas behind the projects themselves.

An engineering apprenticeship at the Gloster Aircraft Company initiated Derek James' lifetime career in aviation. He went on to join the ATC, Royal Observer Corps, Royal Navy, RAF, SBAC, and Dowty Group, and is the author of 19 aviation books.

Classic Light Aircraft : An Illustrated Look, 1920s to the Present

A visual celebration of the wide and colorful variety of the world's light aircraft, old and new, organized from A to Z by manufacturer, this book illustrates more than 800 light aircraft types that are likely to be seen when visiting smaller airports and airfields across the globe.
The text explains how each type relates to other models from the same manufacturer and describes the differences between sub-variants, giving the numbers built. For some types, an indication is also given as to how many are currently active.

The aircraft fall into the following categories: mass production aircraft built in the thousands by major manufacturers such as Beechcraft, Cessna, De Havilland, and Piper; lesser-known but important production and homebuilt aircraft, typically built in reasonable numbers and likely to be seen at the local airfield; and finally, a selection of older aircraft that continue to be flown and cherished.

Kunstflugzeuge - seit 1957 (Typenkompass)

Kunstflugzeuge gelten Vielen als die Königsklasse in der Allgemeinen Luftfahrt, überschreiten sie doch routinemässig die Grenzen dessen, was der "Normalflieger" in seinem Alltag erfahren kann. Diese hochspannende Flugzeugklasse wird vom bekannten Red Bull Air Race-Pilot Matthias Dolderer beschrieben.

Jeder Typ wird mit einem Foto, einer historischen Beschreibung und einem technischen Datenblatt vorgestellt.

IFR kompakt - Das Wissen zum Instrumentenflug

IFR steht für "Instrument Flight Rules" und bezeichnet das Fliegen ausschliesslich nach Instrumenten. Es ist die Königsklasse in der Privat-fliegerei und der Einstieg in die "ernsthafte" Pilotenkarriere.
Ohne Instrumentenberechtigung darf man nur nach Sichtflugregeln unterwegs sein, was die fliegerischen Möglichkeiten stark beschränkt.

Dieser Band des erfahrenen Fluglehrers Winfried Kassera ist aufgebaut nach dem EASA-Syllabus für die IFR-Ausbildung und bereitet ganz konkret auf die Prüfung vor. Dabei werden alle wichtigen Themenfelder, wie Instrumentenkunde, Meteorologie, Luftrecht usw. detailliert dargestellt.
