Tony Jannus: American Aviator
www.youtube.com A group of St. Petersburg College video production students have teamed up with local PBS affiliate WEDU to produce and air a 30-minute television documentary about the man credited with pioneering the commercial aviation industry. The program, "Tony Jannus: American Aviator," will air Thursday, July 15 at 8:30 pm on WEDU. It shows how the trillion dollar commercial aviation industry started from the purchase of one ticket for a flight on the St. Petersburg-Tampa Airboat Line airplane piloted by Tony Jannus. "I hope that the audience gets a sense of what a daring and intelligent person it took to be a pilot in those early days, and how St. Petersburg is really the birthplace of scheduled passenger airline service," said Executive Producer Michael Johnson. "It's a huge benefit to the local community. Knowing our own history and where we fit in the world—it's a sense of pride and of belonging." The documentary explores five themes: Aviation firsts, Jannus the pilot, St. Petersburg-Tampa Airboat Line, Tony Jannus' legacy & Today and tomorrow. "We are, as an organization, committed to providing local content to the communities that we serve and reach 16 counties in Central Florida through our public television station," said Jack Conely, Vice President of Content for WEDU, West Central Florida's primary PBS television station. "This sort of content is relevant locally, and we feel like we're providing an opportunity to the students here in the media arts ...

Abbas Ibn Firnas was the First aviator to fly a scientific way. part 1.flv
Abbas Ibn Firnas (810 887 AD), also known as Abbas Qasim Ibn Firnas and العباس بن فرناس (Arabic language), was Berber polymath. an inventor, engineer, aviator, physician, Arabic poet, and Andalusian musician. He was born in Izn-Rand Onda, Al-Andalus (today's Ronda, Spain), and lived in the Emirate of Córdoba.Ibn Firnas designed a water clock called Al-Maqata, devised a means of manufacturing colorless glass, made corrective lenses ("reading stones"), developed a chain of rings that could be used to simulate the motions of the planets and stars, and developed a process for cutting rock crystal that allowed Spain to cease exporting quartz to Egypt to be cut. In his house he built a room in which spectators witnessed stars, clouds, thunder, and lightning, which were produced by mechanisms located in his basement laboratory. He also devised "some sort of metronome. (((((Aviation))))) He is also said to have made an attempt at flight using a set of wings. In the words of the Moroccan historian Ahmed Mohammed al-Maqqari (d. 1632):Among other very curious experiments which he made, one is his trying to fly. He covered himself with feathers for the purpose, attached a couple of wings to his body, and, getting on an eminence, flung himself down into the air, when according to the testimony of several trustworthy writers who witnessed the performance, he flew a considerable distance, as if he had been a bird, but, in alighting again on the place whence he had started, his back was ...

Aero-TV Gets A Look At Flight Design's New MC Model LSA
'Metal Concept' Intended To "Swallow The Flight School Market Whole" The Aero-News and Aero-TV teams participated in the Oshkosh 2008 unveiling of an all-new light sport aircraft (LSA) produced by Flight Design, the 2009 MC or Metal Concept Model. The aircraft has been in development for approximately 36 months and with significant user input, was designed to respond to the needs of flight schools, flight clubs and the preferences of aviation enthusiasts who value the characteristics and maintainability of a metal fuselage. Flight Design's new MC uses aluminum for the fuselage, wings, and tail, with a complete steel internal fuselage and carbon fiber used on the nose cowl. A welded steel safety cell surrounds the cabin. As with Flight Design's other offerings, the MC comes standard with a whole airframe emergency parachute system. The overall length of the MC is similar to the CTLS, but has a wider wing span and is designed with a conventional stabilizer-elevator, intended to improve pitch stability and allow for "easier landings." With the student pilot in mind, the aircraft includes urethane polymer shock absorbers in the nose gear designed to absorb more than 50% of the energy generated on the first bounce. The aircraft controls include a center, floor-mounted stick and will be available with the Classic or Advanced Instrument Panel options similar to the other CT lines, provided by Dynon, Garmin, and PS Engineering. The MC provides a roomier cabin as compared to the ...

First Flight | A Resort for the Personal Aviator | by Jeremy Roh
Vacationers aspire to rejuvenate their souls through learning, relaxation, and discovery by collecting experiences. The future traveler is an individual captivated by affinity travel—the paring with other individuals that share similar interests. In order to remain competitive, the hospitality industry caters to the specific needs of the individual. The success of a resort in the year 2055 depends on formulating a destination that inspires a niche market, connects the vacationer to memorable events, and is designed as a one-of-a-kind excursion. "First Flight Resort" is a timeless resort that seeks to capture the "essence" of an event while offering personal pilots the opportunity to rediscover their "spirit" in aviation. Pilots claim that every aviator feels obligated to make a pilgrimage to the Wright Brothers' National Park on the Outer Banks of North Carolina. On December 17, 1903, two brothers, Orville and Wilber, accomplished powered and controlled flight for the first time; thus embedding a significant piece of history into the land. The proposed resort design was derived from the significant first four flights, which were analyzed by key-framing moments along each flight path in animation software. The flights were inputted based on flight path diagrams and detailed descriptions from Wilbur Wright's diary. The resulting animation snapshots created the conceptual landscape where the spaces of the resort were carved and inserted. The public facilities are contained ...

Ibis Magic GS700 flight over Greece
Elias and Andrew fly over Alepohori located near Athens. Elias is a student pilot in Maveric Aviation Ultralight pilot school located in Athens Greece. Maveric is the biggest ultralight pilot school in Greece with a fleet of 6 brand new aircrfts (2 ibis magic gs700, 2 Corsario MK5 Amphibians, 1 pioneer P300hawk Acro, 1 Maveric Faos). Maveric is also distributor for these aircrafts for Greece and many other european countries. The aircraft is Ibis Magic GS700 ultralight equiped with 80 hp rotax 912. Ultralights in Greece have a MTOW 550kg so all of maveric aircrafts are fully equiped. Ultralights in Greece are treated like general aviation aircrafts and fly from even to international airports. The base airport of Maveric is Magera LGMG 30 km from Athens and it is the bussiest general aviation airport in Greece. The airport is used by many flight schools for commercial pilot training. Since megara is inside the TMA of El. Venizelos LGEL airport the flights require full ATC interaction and the use of VFR routes and altitudes. Although our students are ultralight aircraft pilots they fly in the same conditions like the CPL and ATPL student pilots are.
