Last summer, the head asiacruise Vnukovo house of culture (Moscow) Amateur pilot, Andrey Chernikov demonstrated are designed and built with his own hands a single biplane rather complicated maneuvers over the airfield Expanse in the Vladimir region.
The plane does not yet have a certificate of airworthiness due to financial and organizational difficulties. However, it was built in accordance with the requirements for aircraft of this type. Today Andrey is your plane the readers of our website.
Before proceeding to describe the structure of the aircraft, will have to talk a little bit about the history of its creation And it was created ultralight aircraft (ULTRALIGHTS or ultralight) in the circle of aviation at Vnukovo DK. Guys, as in other similar clubs, has built various sports models were (and not without success) in the competition. Mastering the basics of the theory and practice of aircraft, the club came to the idea of building this aircraft, however small, on which it would be possible to climb into the sky.
The court, using for movement the muscular strength of a man, never belonged to the category of speed. The only exception is racing boats for rowing, which is the most fleet of vessels musculoides. Due to their known good configuration and the most complete use of the muscle energy of athletes, boats-“eight” is capable of two-kilometer distance to reach the speed of 12 knots. But this does not mean that this speed is the limit of possibilities of human movement on the water surface. If you deviate from canonical constructions of rowing boats, designed for official competition, then there is a possibility of creating a spacecraft-muskurahaton reach speeds up to 20 knots!
Before you start talking about the car “Adrenaline” – built student engineering group of Moscow automobile and road Institute (MADI) to participate in the international competition “Formula Student”, it is necessary to say a few words about the history of this event.
Despite the fact that the industry produces many different small vessels (including yachts), the number of homemade, Amateur-built, grows from year to year. They boldly experiment with various materials used in their projects are interesting technical solutions.
In the last decade, especially popular among Amateur designers use motor vehicles on light wheels with cameras-Pneumatics. The amazing maneuverability of these machines prompted the sailing enthusiasts to use the unique properties of the wheel-Pneumatics when you create year-round sailing.
The first little micro-car “mouse” I built for my kids. As far as he was able, the readers of “Modeller-designer” can tell, after reading his description and drawings, published in “
A certain enthusiast by the name of Simon Whitlock set out to build not just powerful, but very powerful motorcycle. You can go simple way – to attach to a motorcycle frame any brutal engine of a large volume, such as from a Viper or Corvette, but then the design would be too bulky and large, which is undesirable.
Dream-the idea of making a car, even simple, like buggy, appeared in his teenage years, when machines were in short supply. But for many UNDERSTANDABLE reasons (had neither the experience nor the tool nor the means) she could not at that time be done — and ended only with drawings on paper. Over the years the opportunity came to build, and the boyish idea has revived in my mind. On the profile of their work by this time, I’m already quite versed in the device of conventional cars, which helped me during the implementation of the project.
Student design Bureau Carian Polytechnic Institute named after A. M. Gorky is known not only in redkach edges, but also far outside the Republic. The original snowmobile, transport on an air cushion, knapsack aredigital and other developments, which are not repeatedly described in “M-To” attract the attention of specialized organizations.
Almost from childhood read the magazine “modelist-Konstruktor”. It has taught a lot of information about new designs, interesting ideas. Inspired by the publication in the journal, while still a high school student, remade old bike in all-terrain vehicle on low-pressure tires, then made a snowmobile with a crawler gear. And still with great pleasure interested in technical creativity.
