Flugzeug - Die Deutsche Luftwaffe 1914-Heute


Die Jeonnin - Stohltauben gehörten zu Beginn des 1. Weltkrieges im August 1914 zu den ersten einsatzföhigen Frontflugzeugen der deutschen Heeresfliegertruppe. Diese verfügte bereits wenige Toge nach der Mobilmachung über 33 Feldfliegerob-teilungen. 8 Festungsfliegerobteilungen und 8 Etoppenflugzeugporks an der West -und an der Ostfront. Die Kriegssollstarke jeder Feldfliegerabteilung betrug 15 Offi ziere, 117 Unteroffiziere und Mannschaften Sie war mit 6 Flugzeugen und Lastkraftwagen ausgerüstet. Die Festungsfliegerobteilungen hotten eine Stärke von 4 Offizieren, 37 Unteroffizieren und Mannschaften, 4 Flugzeugen, sowie 2 Reservemaschinen. Das Soll jedes Etoppenflugzeugporks betrug 2 Offiziere. 69 Unteroffiziere und Mannschaften sowie 3 Flugzeuge mit Besatzungen Aufgabe der Etoppenflugzeugporks war es, Ersatz für die Fliegerabteilungen zu stellen.

In 1980 the Soviet Union were hosts to the Olympic Games and as a result Aeroflot became the Official Carrier: the 'Official' title was hardly surprising when you consider that Aeroflot were the only airline in that vast country covering eight and a half million square miles. A majority of their fleet, consisting entirely of Soviet-build types, carried the 'Official Olympic Carrier1 titles throughout that year. When the Soviet Union fragmented Into fifteen separate countries in 1991, breaking the state-owned aerial monopoly. Aeroflot became a much more streamlined operation. Within four years over five hundred airlines had been created. Today Aeroflot is no longer entirely dependent on Soviet types, and an Airbus A310. a Boeing 767 and a DC-10 can be seen flying in Aeroflot colours. The Tu-154 first entered service with Aeroflot in November 1971 and over six hundred are believed to have been delivered to Aeroflot; today fewer than thirty remain in service with the airline. Illustrated is Tupolev Tu-l54B-2, CCCP-85375, which was seen at Prague, Czechoslovakia in May 1980.

Air Pictorial 1958 07


In the following pages an attempt has been made to present an outline picture of the turbine powerplant in its current state of development and to clarify some of its applications. In general, examples are based upon British engines, since in most fields we still maintain the flying start which was gained by the pioneering work of Sir Frank Whittle and Power Jets Ltd. The gas turbine family tree indicates how the simple compressor/turbine cycle evolved by Whittle and Heinkel almost contemporaneously in the late 'thirties has flourished in an active airborne life of less than twenty years. Ironically, the simple little engine, weighing a quarter of the conventional ones and containing only a fraction of the components, was to lead to the most elaborate and by far the costliest engines ever. This rapid development into complexity was caused simply by the fact that the turbine offered prospects of power far greater than ever before, power which was eagerly grasped by the aircraft designer who, no sooner did he get it than he greedily demanded more, and more—and yet more.
