| Meet
the Boss |
|
|
FAA Administrator Jane Garvey and U.S.
Transportation Secretary Norman Mineta received a generally warm
welcome from a standing-room-only audience at Friday’s “Meet the
Boss” Forum at AirVenture 2001. |
| EAA
Aviation Foundation and NASA Ink Agreement |
|
|
An alliance and partnership
between the EAA Aviation Foundation and NASA should allow both
organizations to integrate their resources and maximize their
educational efforts. |
|
Teaching
the Teachers |
|
|
Education always has been an
integral part of the EAA, from the earliest days when it was
essentially just homebuilders of airplanes to the present, as it
reaches out to young people. |
|
On
the Road to Kitty Hawk |
|
|
In 1901, Orville and Wilbur
Wright were getting very frustrated. They had just built the largest
glider ever and couldn’t get it to fly as they wanted. “They weren’t
getting good results at all,” said Ken Hyde of The Wright
Experience, which is spearheading an effort to re-create the
aircraft and knowledge of the Wright brothers. “In fact, once they
threw it off the hill backwards, and it flew just as well.”

Keyt
Speeds to Record at AirVenture |
|
|
It’s unofficial, but Dick Keyt and his
crew are celebrating anyway after besting the previous 500 km record
for his aircraft weight by nearly five minutes. The Granbury, Texas,
pilot performed the record-breaking flight on Thursday afternoon
during the air show, flying from the Oshkosh VOR to Monticello
Airport in Iowa and back in 70 minutes and three seconds at an
average speed of 307 mph. |
|
Composites
Primer |
|
|
Homebuilders really launched
the use of composite construction in aircraft. Now, even with many
commercial examples of entire composite airplanes and airplanes with
major composite components available on the market, composite
construction is still a great way to build an airplane
yourself. |
| Goodrich,
AvroTech, and NASA Spotlight SmartDeck Technology
|
|
An advanced “glass cockpit”
system being developed for general aviation is on display in the
NASA Pavilion and at the Goodrich Corporation booth at AirVenture
2001. |
| Double
Vee is One of a Kind |
|
Each warbird at AirVenture
has a story to tell, some more exciting than others. But Steve
Cowell’s AT-6, on display at AeroShell Square, has a legacy that no
other known warbird can claim. |
| Relief
for Glasair and GlaStar Builders |
|
Glasair and GlaStar are
undeniably some of the more popular kit-built aircraft designs, but
builders, prospective builders, and owners have had a rough go of it
since the bankruptcy of Stoddard-Hamilton Aircraft, manufacturer of
both kits. Things should be much better now. |
| From
Young Eagles to Solo … in a Month! |
|
When Karrie Shank,
Circleville, Ohio, took her first airline flight earlier this year,
it lit a spark that has been hard to extinguish. The 17-year-old
high school senior immediately hopped on the Internet to look for
some way to get into flying. Luckily for her, she found EAA’s Young
Eagles website. |
| Oldest
Active Pilot Visits AirVenture |
|
With a birth date of November
6, 1899, and flying an Aeronca Defedru, Ralph Charles of Somerset,
Ohio, may very well be the oldest active pilot in the world.

| Crossfield
Enthralls Audience |
|
Record-setting pilot Scott
Crossfield drew an overflow crowd Thursday at the AirVenture Museum
as he stood before a mock-up of the famed X-15 rocket plane and
described some of the events in the development of that incredibly
fast machine. |
