His invention changed short-take off and vertical-landing (STVOL) planes forever, making the Lightning II the first supersonic aircraft with this capability. To honour him, Lockheed Martin has released this new video, in which Dr. Bevilaqua explains how the project went from "napkin to production." <!-- Gawker Tags/Categories: airplanes, clips, dr. paul bevilaqua, f-35b, lockheed martin, skunk works, stovl, videos --> <a name="more"></a> Watching him explain it, the genius of Dr. Bevilaqua's F-35B Shaft Driven Lift Fan is obvious. After all, the invention is quite simple. According to Bevilaqua, the best way to create power from the engine is by using a turbine. That power then gets moved forward using a shaft that connects to a fan, providing the vertical lift on the front of the plane—and all while the turbine exhaust is redirected to the ground to lift the back of the plane. <img alt="x35_schem_05.jpg" src="http://gizmodo.com/assets/resources/2008/04/x35_schem_05.jpg" class="right" width="350" height="235">The result is a supersonic plane with great maneuverability. Like a car, Bevilaqua explains, the pilot starts the engine, engages the clutch that activates the lift fan, increases power—and off it goes. To make things even better, the bleed air coming off from the top runs over the winds so the F-35B handles smoothly while going vertically, "like if it was mounted on a hydraulic lift." <img src="http://gizmodo.com/assets/resources/2008/04/f35-lift.jpg" class="center" style="display: block; float: none;" width="770" height="402"> The idea, he says, came at the very end of a nine-month study to see if it was possible to do a supersonic successor to the Harrier for the Marine Corp. "I had to come up with a way to increase the thrust of a jet engine so that you could take off vertically, but yet not make it impossible for the aeroplane to go supersonic." Dr. Bevilaqua—who started working with Hans von Ohain, the German engineer who invented the jet engine with the Heinkel He 178, and encouraged him to think not about math but about engineering—sketched his first idea on a napkin, which was a turbine with a drive shaft sticking out the front of the engine. He got it to a propulsion expert at Skunk Works to see if it was feasible or not. From there it was transformed from paper dream to reality: Lockheed Martin applied for the patent in 1990, which ended up being one of the factors that landed them the massive $200 billion contract for the Joint Strike Fighter against Boeing's X-32. <img src="http://gizmodo.com/assets/resources/2008/04/F-l3_lift_fan.jpg" class="center" style="display: block; float: none;" width="800" height="398"> [<a href="http://www.govexec.com/dailyfed/0102/012202db.htm">Govexec</a>, <a href="http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/systems/aircraft/f-35b.htm">Global Security</a>, <a href="http://www.lockheedmartin.com/aeronautics/skunkworks/">Skunk Works</a> and <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skunk_works">Wikipedia</a> via <a href="http://www.flightglobal.com/blogs/the-dewline/2008/04/f35b-inventor-talks-on-youtube.html">The DEW Line</a>] <a href="http://www.gizmodo.com.au/2008/04/the_history_behind_the_f35b_vertical_lift_from_napkin_to_first_supersonic_plane-2.html"><strong>GISMODO</strong></a> 0 2008-12-23T12:51:31Z 2008-12-23T12:46:00Z 251768 the-history-behind-the-f-35b-vertical-lift-from-napkin-to-first 2008-12-23T12:51:30Z 1 1 2008-12-23T12:55:52Z 0.0.0.0 22627 14385 <object style="border: 0pt none ; margin: 0pt; background: transparent none repeat scroll 0% 0%; -moz-background-clip: -moz-initial; -moz-background-origin: -moz-initial; -moz-background-inline-policy: -moz-initial;" width="480" height="392"><param value="http://video.globo.com/Portal/videos/cda/player/player.swf" name="movie"></param><param value="high" name="quality"></param><param value="midiaId=911645&amp;autoStart=false&amp;width=480&amp;height=392" name="FlashVars"></param><embed flashvars="midiaId=911645&amp;autoStart=false&amp;width=480&amp;height=392" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" quality="high" src="http://video.globo.com/Portal/videos/cda/player/player.swf" width="480" height="392"></embed></object> Em Natal, no Rio Grande do Norte, pilotos de cinco países sul-americanos, além da França, realizam uma grande simulação de combate.

A advertência é da procuradora da República Eugênia Augusta Gonzaga Fávero. "Os prazos já estão esgotados, tudo já era para estar funcionando no caso do transporte aéreo. O que ainda não está funcionando pode ser objeto de denúncias para o Ministério Público Federal" disse, nessa quinta-feira (2), em fórum em São Paulo promovido pela Empresa Brasileira de Infra-Estrutura Aeroportuária (Infraero) sobre acessibilidade. O evento continua hoje. A procuradora destacou a existência de problemas ainda sem solução enfrentados pelas pessoas com deficiência quando pretendem fazer uma viagem aérea. “A gente não tem visto alternativa para os avisos sonoros [nos aeroportos] para as pessoas com deficiência auditiva. A maioria do atendimento das empresas aéreas é pelos sites, que ainda são muito pouco acessíveis para pessoas com deficiência visual”, disse. A procuradora ressalvou no entanto, que, de forma geral, os aeroportos do país estão em condições satisfatórias quanto à acessibilidade das pessoas com deficiência. "É muito difícil hoje em dia encontrar um aeroporto que não esteja bastante acessível, ou que pelo menos não tenha iniciado várias obras voltadas para a acessibilidade. Não estão perfeitos, mas eu acho que há um movimento muito forte e muito consistente para que essa acessibilidade esteja presente". 0 2008-10-03T10:58:56Z 2008-10-03T10:56:00Z 209047 prazo-aeroportos-se-adaptarem-normas-acessibilidade 2008-10-03T10:58:56Z 1 1 2008-10-03T10:58:56Z 0.0.0.0 22627 14385 <h5>Thierry Vigoureux, especialista em aviação fez uma viagem de Hamburgo até Dubai para avaliar para o Le Figaro o novo A-380 da Airbus, comprado pela Companhia de Aviação dos Emirados.
