Dunne designed a highly stable aircraft during a time when aircraft and stability were not terms normally used in the same breath. Dunne originally worked at Great Britain’s Army Balloon Factory (precursor to Farnborough England’s center of aviation science and engineering). Forming the Blair Atholl Aeroplane Syndicate, Dunne began aircraft design in earnest. Ultimately creating the D.8 for stability in flight. A wing swept of 32° made it distinct as well as eliminating the requirement (and weight) of a tail structure. Wing camber increased away from the fuselage while incidence decreased with the wingtips washing out. Distance between the wings also reduced outboard. This was not a simple box kite-like design with its subtle though effective aerodynamic design details yielding excellent longitudinal st

Douglas Skyhawks Which Were Peculiar To Malaysia?

Travel for Aircraft By joseph may on February 23, 2021 at 10:39 AM Douglas A-4PTM Skyhawk Royal Malaysian Air Force Museum Kuala Lumpur ©2013 Joseph May/Slipstream Photography Eighty-eight Douglas Skyhawks in C and L types were purchased by the Tentera Udara Diraja Malaysia (Royal Malaysian Air Force) with most to be converted to their particular specifications, or PTM. Commonly PTM is known as “Peculiar To Malaysia” but this is a bit of geographical jest as the acronym was created from the formal Persekutan Tanah Melayu title, which translates to Federation of Malay States (Malaysia has 13 states). The majority of conversion work was accomplished in the early 1980s by Grumman in their St. Augustine FL facility with the ultimate aircraft delivery tally of 34 A-4PTM and 6 TA-4PTM Skyhawks, plus 52 spare Wright J65 turbojet engines (modified Sapphire engines built under license from Armstrong Siddeley).
