This book was released on 2017 with total page 12 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Landing wheeled aircraft on snow runways is uncommon and minimally documented. This report describes the modeling used to evaluate design and construction of the new compacted-snow Phoenix runway in Antarctica for the first wheeled C17 aircraft landing. Snow density from the target design and snow density of the as-built Phoenix runway structure were used to determine basic elastic parameters for use in layered elastic analysis formulation (LEAF). LEAF is part of a software package developed by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) that allows for forward calculation of runway stress, strain, displacement, and associated principal stress and strain based on design aircraft loading. Stress responses for the Phoenix runway were modeled for the C17, A319, and B757 aircraft. Two construction vehicles were also modeled for comparison. Results show the comparison of the stress profiles and effect of subgrade stiffness on stresses in the layers just above the subgrade. This is the first time the model was used for a snow runway and it provided valuable insight for design, construction and runway performance for the first landing of the C17 on compacted snow. The model is flexible enough for simulating additional aircraft that might use the runway in the future. The successful construction and use of the new compacted-snow Phoenix runway is significant and demonstrates the heaviest wheeled aircraft (C17) operating on a compacted snow runway, ever.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A vicious civil conflict erupted on the Korean peninsula in 1950 and sucked 24 nations into a new round of fighting. The world’s two atomic superpowers – the United States and the Soviet Union – menaced each other across an arbitrary border as Korea became the proving ground for a new Cold War. The odds faced by Australia’s young pilots were one in three, that they’d not come back. Or perhaps they’d just never be found, crash in flames into a foreign mountain and become nothing but names in a faraway cemetery. Most had no combat experience. Their planes were obsolete. Their orders were to dive upon a well-armed enemy with their bellies exposed, where one bullet to a fuel-tank meant an inescapable fireball. The Korean Kid is the story of Jim Kichenside and the Australian pilots who took to the skies in the ‘forgotten war’ on the Korean peninsula. Within a week of the North Korean invasion of the South on June 25, 1950, No.77 Fighter Squadron RAAF were in the air: the first United Nations air unit committed to the defence of the overrun South. Of the 340 Australians who perished in Korea, 41 were from 77 Squadron. In 1952, Jim Kichenside was the youngest pilot in 77 Squadron, at just 21 years of age. He entered the Korean theatre with just 8 hours of training on his Meteor jet. Dubbed ‘The Korean Kid’, Jim’s is a story of youth and resilience, of luck and loss, of young men thrust into a war against impossible odds – the first war of the jet age.
Download or read book Construction of a Snow Runway at Camp Century for Wheel Landings with Lightweight Aircraft written by Gunars Abele and published by . This book was released on 1964 with total page 6 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Use of wheeled aircraft on the Greenland Ice Cap, particularly for support of Camp Century, may present certain advantages in view of the difficulties encountered with skis on the 'Caribou' type aircraft during 1962. During June, July, August, and September, when the support requirements of Camp Century are quite heavy, be tween 60 and 70% of the time is suitable for flying. A snow runway capable of supporting wheel landings with lightweight aircraft would be required. The construction of such a runway appears to be within the capability of the U.S. Army Polar Research and Development Center, with U.S. Army Cold Regions Research and Engineering Laboratory providing technical assistance. The following discussion describes briefly the type of runway required, the method of construction, the effort involved, and suggested maintenance of the runway. (Author).
Download or read book Testing of a Compacted Snow Runway U written by James Arthur Bender and published by . This book was released on 1956 with total page 38 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The processing of the snow for the runway, by modified pulvimixers using heat, was started on 6 July and completely finished by 1 September. Successful landings on the 200 x 10,000 ft strip were made by C-47, C-54, and C-124 type aircraft. The conclusion that the strip could support these aircraft and the decision to land the planes were based on the laboratory testing. This report describes the methods and techniques used in testing a snow runway built on deep snow, and gives suggested requirements of a snow runway to support various type aircraft. It is not intended as a report on the operational aspects of making such a runway, nor as a critique on the techniques used. Also, it should be realized that this represents the beginning of a long-range program and that additional theoretical work and field work are still necessary. (Author).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The strength properties of a Peter miller-processed and -compacted snow runway test strip at McMurdo, Antarctica, and the snow pavement performance during simulated C-130 and C-121 aircraft wheel-load tests are discussed and evaluated. The correlation of shear strength with ram hardness and unconfined compressive strength of high-density snow is discussed and an approximate relationship is developed. Data from actual aircraft and simulated aircraft wheel-load tests on snow pavements are compared with previously developed criteria for snow pavement supporting capacity. (Author).
