It can be seen as a transition between a hovercraft and an aircraft. As it flies just above a surface, it is also classified as WISE or WISES (Wing In Surface Effect Ship). WIGs are also classified as Ground Effect Vehicles, or Sea Skimmers. The IMO has classifed the WIGs as ship, with effect of (GEV).[1] In conventional aircraft, "flare" is the rotation of the aircraft's nose up, used at the final part of landing to arrest the descent rate before touch down. In WIG vehicles, this is the basic attitude to sustain level flight.

This steam provides the necessary force to propel the pistons at high speed, slinging the plane forward to generate the necessary lift for takeoff.Loading Antonov An-124 Jumbo to Chinajannej3122008-02-26 | Loading Antonov An-124 Jumbo with two cars to China.

Singapore Airlines took delivery of the world's first A380 at Airbus headquarters in southern France. The handover took place at the Henri Ziegler Delivery Centre, Toulouse, at a ceremony attended by over 500 people, and officiated by Chief Executive Officers Tom Enders (Airbus), Sir John Rose (Rolls-Royce) and Chew Choon Seng (Singapore Airlines).
The A380 is the largest passenger plane ever built and the first completely new design of a passenger aircraft in decades. Components have been built in plants around the world before being brought together for assembly at key Airbus facilities in Europe. Final assembly took place in Toulouse, France, while the painting of the livery and installation of the aircraft cabin took place in Hamburg, Germany.Airbus A340 in Wind Tunneljannej3122007-09-18 | Airbus A340 in Wind Tunnel sometime 1980's.Car Crash Testjannej3122007-09-08 | Mini Crash Test - gets full 5 starsHow a Car Engine Works (Internal Combustion Engine)jannej3122007-08-30 | Four-stroke cycle (or Otto cycle) shown.

A total of 856 aircraft were produced in four models, all distinguished by a distinctive triple-tail design and graceful, dolphin-shaped fuselage.
The Albatros D.III was a biplane fighter aircraft used by the Imperial German Army Air Service (Luftstreitkräfte) and the Austro-Hungarian Air Service (Luftfahrtruppen) during the First World War. The D.III was flown by many top German aces, including Manfred von Richthofen, Ernst Udet, Erich Löwenhardt, Kurt Wolff, and Karl Emil Schaeffer. It was the preemininent fighter during the period of German aerial dominance known as "Bloody April" 1917.
i am working on two albatros D III OEFFAG series 253.
the second one is in its final assembling state.it is a cooperation with a german enthusiast.
austro daimler engines 225 hp for the series 253 albatros are extremly rare. only five examples are known to exist worldwide.
engine one is on loan from the town museum in wiener neustadt and is currently installed in the 253.01 . this engine is a zero hour example and complete in every aspect so it is listed as national heritage and therefore is not allowed to be run. the plane is built to airworthy standards so it is a potential flyer.this engine was very valuable during the building and the museum had given it to me for several years so in return the complete aircraft is now on show in the museum. until mid of 2009.
engine two is on loan from a private company which is the successor of austro daimler. basicly a zero hour engine built in oktober 1918 so too late for going to war.
unfortunatly this engine had sufferd from the attention of thives and other not favorable circumstances over 80 years but we managed to restore it and it is now running at the bench to our full satisfaction.
the first testruns installed in the plane can be expected within a few month.
it is our goal to fly this plane eventually,so please be a bit patient .
may i say a few personal words here.
i am happy that my work is inspiring others and i can only say it is immensly satisfying to start with a piece of paper and finally you have this plane in front of you.
to go through a project like this over so many years is an extraordinary expierience and certainly you know more about yourself after it.
it can get pretty lonesome in the workshop and one is learning that frustration can come in many ways but any way it was and still is worth any single hour.and yes i am still related to the same wife .
cheers
