  2. Questions / Comments

  3. Warm-Up – 10/14 – 10 minutes Utilizing your notes and past knowledge answer the following questions: • What type of aircraft led to gaining control of the air? • Describe the first type of bullet deflection used on propellers. • What influence did the invention of the interrupting gear have on the use of fighter aircraft? • Describe the problems associated with the wing mounted machine guns? • Describe the first all metal, low wing monoplane.

  4. Introduction • As more and more bombing raids took place, clear need for control of the air was needed. • Fighter or pursuit aircraft were needed to drive off bombers.

  5. Warm-Up – 10/14 – 10 minutes Utilizing your notes and past knowledge answer the following questions: • What type of aircraft led to gaining control of the air? • Describe the first type of bullet deflection used on propellers. • What influence did the invention of the interrupting gear have on the use of fighter aircraft? • Describe the problems associated with the wing mounted machine guns? • Describe the first all metal, low wing monoplane.

  6. Fighter Development • 1915 – French pilot – Roland Garros • Mounted an automatic rifle on aircraft • Fired through the propeller • To keep from shooting off propeller, the rear of the propeller was armored with steel plates

  7. The Steel Deflector Plate Fix • Angled metal guards on the propeller in line with the path of the bullets • The guard is a "V" shaped piece of steel • "U" shaped bullet "gutter" intended to direct the deflected path of the bullet striking it away from the propeller. • sending a ricocheting bullet back into the pilot. • bullet striking the plate could create fractures in the propeller causing it to fail.

  8. Warm-Up – 10/14 – 10 minutes Utilizing your notes and past knowledge answer the following questions: • What type of aircraft led to gaining control of the air? • Describe the first type of bullet deflection used on propellers. • What influence did the invention of the interrupting gear have on the use of fighter aircraft? • Describe the problems associated with the wing mounted machine guns? • Describe the first all metal, low wing monoplane.

  9. Fighter Development • Germans captured Garros and his plane • Dutch – airplane designer – Anthony Fokker improved on design • Fokker designed a machine gun that fired through a spinning propeller • This gave Germans total control over the skies for over a year

  10. Warm-Up – 10/14 – 10 minutes Utilizing your notes and past knowledge answer the following questions: • What type of aircraft led to gaining control of the air? • Describe the first type of bullet deflection used on propellers. • What influence did the invention of the interrupting gear have on the use of fighter aircraft? • Describe the problems associated with the wing mounted machine guns? • Describe the first all metal, low wing monoplane.

  11. Fighter Development • Allies tried to mount a gun to the top of the wing but was ineffective due to increased drag

  12. The Wing-Mounted Gun Solution: • Fire above the path of the propeller: • Fitted with either drum or clip ammunition feed systems • Two issues: • Unreliable and prone to jamming • difficulttask of reloading ammunition or clearing a round from a jammed gun while flying

  13. Warm-Up – 10/14 – 10 minutes Utilizing your notes and past knowledge answer the following questions: • What type of aircraft led to gaining control of the air? • Describe the first type of bullet deflection used on propellers. • What influence did the invention of the interrupting gear have on the use of fighter aircraft? • Describe the problems associated with the wing mounted machine guns? • Describe the first all metal, low wing monoplane.

  14. Fighter Development • May 1918 • German designer Hugo Junkers built world’s first all metal, low-wing monoplane fighter called the Junkers D1 • Arrived too late to make a difference in the war but was the fighter of the future

  16. THIS DAY IN AVIATION • October 14 • 1921 — Loening Monoplane “Flying Yacht,” during an efficiency contest held by the Aero Club of America, establishes a new seaplane efficiency record, making six round trips between Port Washington and New London, in 5 hours 33 minutes, with 24 passengers carried in all, at a total cost of operation of $65.

  17. THIS DAY IN AVIATION • October 14 • 1947 — Capt. Charles “Chuck” Yeager becomes the first person to fly faster than sound. • Yeager “breaks the sound barrier” in his Bell X-1 airplane, “Glamorous Glennis,” named after his wife. • He was able to reach 670-mph or Mach 1.015 at Muroc Dry Lake, California.
