CAFE Foundation Electric Aircraft Symposium, Part Two
One jet turbine, three generators, 24 ducted fans and 74 “effectors” to control it all. John Langford: Aurora Flight Sciences and the Lightning Strike Dr. Langford opened the second day...
Engine Theory: Forced induction
...go-to forced induction. Conceptually, a turbocharger couples a centrifugal supercharger with a turbine wheel in the exhaust stream to provide the rotational power. Thus, the good efficiencies of the centrifugal...
Best Practices – Fastener Safety
...sufficient, because a too-long pin can always be cut off. Always resist the temptation to reuse a cotter pin once it has been put in place and removed. Any cotter...

Javron Super Cub
...30 kits, with three now flying. In addition, Javron made components for Smith Cubs (later Turbine Cubs of Wyoming) for many years, so it can borrow some of that much-longer...
Lycoming iE2 + Evolution = Great Numbers
...high and fast with turbine power, the pressurized Evolution seems well-suited to turbo-assisted piston power as well. At 17,500 ft the cabin pressure is a low 2500 ft for non-fatiguing...
Lancair Piston Evolution Video
At Sun ‘n Fun 2016, Lancair flew in both versions of its flagship Evolution, one turbine and one piston. The piston version has the Lycoming IE2 electronic engine. Kitplanes interviewed...
Piston-Powered Evolution
Lancair originally introduced their Evolution kit with either a Pratt & Whitney PT-6 engine or the Lycoming TEO-540 piston engine. However, as they began selling the turbine-powered kits the...
Flying Legend’s Tucano Replica
...has nicely tapered wings and a generous right-side tilt canopy. The front cowl section definitely gave me the idea that the word “replica” is important to Flying Legend—two faux turbine...
