U.G. Krishnamurti Photojournal: NASA's Image Access Home Page Rutan Voyager - Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum On December 23, 1986, Voyager completed the first nonstop, non-refueled flight around the world. Voyager, a unique aircraft constructed almost entirely of lightweight graphite-honeycomb composite materials and laden with fuel, lifted from Edwards AFB, California at 8:01:44 a.m., Pacific Standard Time, on Dec. 14 1986, and returned 9 days later at 8:05:28 a.m., Pacific Standard Time on Dec. 23, 1986. For their record-breaking flight, the pilots, Dick Rutan and Jeana Yeager, the designer, Burt Rutan, and the crew chief, Bruce Evans, earned the Collier Trophy, aviation's most prestigious award. Voyager is the result of six years of design, construction, and development by a talented team of individuals. The aircraft was designed by Burt Rutan, Dick's brother, a well-known designer of homebuilt airplanes such as the VariViggen and VariEze and corporate aircraft such as the Beech Starship. Gift of Dick Rutan and Jeanna Yeager Country of Origin United States of America Manufacturer Date Location

Gila National Forest 2013 Flood Impacts Remain in Some Areas Some areas of the forest remain impacted by last year's floods. While the main roads are passable, roads that tier off of the arterial roads may still be impassable. Beginners Guide to Aerodynamics At this Web site you can study aerodynamics at your own pace and to your own level of interest. Some of the topics included are: Newton's basic equations of motion; the motion of a free falling object, that neglects the effects of aerodynamics; the terminal velocity of a falling object subject to both weight and air resistance; the three forces (lift, drag, and weight) that act on a glider; and finally, the four forces that act on a powered airplane. Because aerodynamics involves both the motion of the object and the reaction of the air, there are several pages devoted to basic gas properties and how those properties change through the atmosphere. This site was created at NASA Glenn as part of the Learning Technologies Project (LTP). There is a special section of the Beginner's Guide which deals with compressible, or high speed, aerodynamics. This site has been intentionally organized to mirror the unstructured nature of the world wide web. Activities: Navigation..
