Aero Telemetryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01895084003355312832noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-654608491747492912.post-10749626824651079282017-12-21T14:05:00.000-08:002017-12-21T14:06:27.143-08:00Lawrance L-5 RestorationThe Lawrance L-5, 5-cylinder radial engine. A very rare and relatively
unknown radial engine developed by Charles Lawrance, whose company
Lawrance Aero Engines Ltd. was purchased by Wright Aeronautical in 1923.
Lawrance then went on to develop the extremely successful Wright
Whirlwind for which was used by Charles Lindbergh and Amelia Earhart on
their record setting long distance flights.<br />
This specific engine is unique in that it was designed to operate
mounted vertical as a auxiliary power unit on airplanes designed to
operate from remote locations or over the ocean. A Martin PBM Mariner
used during World War Two may have used this engine to provide enough
28VDC power to start one of the main engines while at some remote South
Pacific island. Incredibly compact and smooth running, the L-5 produces
about 35 HP.<br />
After the War, airplane enthusiasts obtained a few L-5 engines as
surplus and attempted to convert them for use on small ultralight
airplanes. There were several issues that made the conversion
problematic. The oiling system and sump were setup for vertical
operation and there was no provision for mounting and driving a
propeller (as in thrust bearings or splined prop shaft)<br />
These issues added some complexity to the rebuild, however using a
pusher type propeller in an "airplane-style" mount and some modification
to the oiling system allowed the Aero Telemetry team to complete this
rare radial restoration in less than a month...it is most likely the
only reliable running example in the world.<br />

V-1710-27 engine. This engine traces its history back to a starboard
engine mount on a Lockheed P-38 Lightning during 1943. Previously
removed from a P-38 during the war and shipped back to the United States
for overhaul on December 31st, 1943. An incredible piece of American
history that has survived the years to be brought back to life once
again.<br />

Continental R-670 Radial Engine in for top overhaul by Aero Telemetry. Built in the 1930's it was used on many training airplanes of that era, like the famous PT17 Stearman Biplane. The short shaft version was also used in many WW2 tanks and even in a US Navy Landing Craft. <a class="ot-hashtag aaTEdf" href="https://plus.google.com/u/0/s/%23aviation" rel="nofollow">#aviation</a> <a class="ot-hashtag aaTEdf" href="https://plus.google.com/u/0/s/%23radialengine" rel="nofollow">#radialengine</a> <a class="ot-hashtag aaTEdf" href="https://plus.google.com/u/0/s/%23enginerun" rel="nofollow">#enginerun</a> <a class="ot-hashtag aaTEdf" href="https://plus.google.com/u/0/s/%23WWII" rel="nofollow">#WWII</a> <a class="ot-hashtag aaTEdf" href="https://plus.google.com/u/0/s/%23restoration" rel="nofollow">#restoration</a></div>

recreate the flying sequences in the Academy Award winning film The
Aviator. The scene depicted Leonardo DiCaprio as Howard Hughes flying
with Cate Blanchett as Katharine Hepburn. This little airplane was shot
against a green screen and digitized to simulate flying conditions over
Los Angeles at night. There are several other scenes in the movie which
include our S-38 model airplane, as well. Another interesting Hollywood
movie behind the scenes fact!<br />

better practical effects companies worldwide, this would be an
outrageous, excessive waste of a rare historic artifact! Large scale
unmanned airplanes would be 1/10th the cost and provide better and more
reliable footage....11 Academy Awards.... Airplanes of The

give me a specifically unique perspective when designing unmanned air
vehicles and systems for airplanes. The really great part is being able
to truly appreciate airplanes and aircraft engine designs not only for
their historic and aesthetic value, but also as a clear manifestation of
functional art.”

Initially commissioned for a History Channel Television Show
commemorating the 100<sup>th</sup> Anniversary of the start of World War I, the
full-size replica of the Kettering Bug will now be the subject of an intense
one-hour TV documentary that will feature the various aspects of the airplanes
design, it’s secretive military history, the famous people behind the
development, and the airplane’s contribution to the advancement of early
aviation technology. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The background and technical details of the Kettering Bug
have been meticulously researched for historical accuracy and re-designed with
many of the same materials and techniques that were used to build the original.
In commemoration of the 100 year anniversary of WWI, this amazing full-size
replica is being prepared for its first flight by Joe Bok and his Aero
Telemetry Team. </div>

The
Spruce Goose flew several times over two days in the Long Beach Harbor.
The first test flight took place on the afternoon of Sunday November
23, 2003.<br />
Joe Bok's rendition of the <a href="http://seaplaneforum.com/viewtopic.php?f=17&t=2434">Hughes Flying Boat</a>
made its' Hollywood Film debut on November 24, 2003. The airplane was
loaded onto a barge and moved into a location near the Queen Mary.
Several vintage Navy boats were moved into a position that would align
them with the camera and the model's anticipated flight path. The Aero
Telemetry Spruce Goose made several breath-taking flights that day.<br />

Part of the crew launched and recovered the huge model from a floating
barge, while the flight crew were positioned on a vintage World War II
US Navy Patrol boat. Academy Award winning visual effects director, Rob
Legato, filmed the amazing footage of the Spruce Goose as it passed by
the stern of the PT boat to recreate the famous flight of the Spruce

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="apple-style-span"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10.5pt;">An extraordinary crew works at Aero Telemetry Corporation. Founded
by Joe Bok, the Aero Telemetry Corporation (ATC) has been providing airborne electronics and custom built unmanned
air vehicle (UAV) systems to the military since the early 1990s. Many of our
readers also know that this remarkable company specializes in scale aircraft for
movies and in UAV’s. Remember the movie, <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">The
Aviator</i>? Joe's team provided 11 different models for the production. Notably, the giant
scale Hughes XF-11 (30-foot wingspan), H-4 Hercules (Spruce Goose), and Hughes
H-1 Racer were all flown safely and successfully.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As noted at the <a href="http://www.aerotelemetry.com/The%20Aviator%20Movie%20Airplanes" target="_blank">company's website</a>, these models
“are still considered to be some of the largest flyable scale airplanes ever built for
use in a movie. Long hours of hard work, perseverance, and technical know-how
by the Aero Telemetry team made these extraordinary airplanes possible.”</span></span>
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span class="apple-style-span"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10.5pt;">But
many may not know the diverse additional areas of expertise Aero Telemetry has
expanded into over the last decade, building on robust project successes in
military based UAV programs. One of the coolest projects in aerospace today is
the <a href="http://www.aerotelemetry.com/boeing-x-48" target="_blank">Boeing X-48 Blended Wing Body</a> aircraft or BWB. </span></span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10.5pt;">Aero Telemetry was contracted by The
Boeing Company to build the front landing gear for the X-48 blended wing body
unmanned air vehicle. “The design and fabrication of the landing gear required
the Aero Telemetry team to perform dynamic load testing with data acquisition
sensors to match deceleration rates to acceptable airframe load limits.”</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10.5pt;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10.5pt;">Aero
Telemetry also specializes in vintage engine restorations. <span class="apple-style-span">Joe Bok and his team took great pride in restoring an
Allison V-1710-27 engine. That engine was once a starboard engine mount on a
Lockheed P-39 Lightning during WWII. It was shipped back to the United States
for overhaul in late 1943. It is an incredible piece of American history that
has survived the years to be brought back to life once again by the ATC
team—see the projects pages at <a href="http://www.aerotelemetry.com/">www.aerotelemetry.com</a>
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>for more on this and the other diverse
programs at ATC. Their technology is also used at academic institutions and in
one project, ATC designed a package to detect the <a href="http://www.aerotelemetry.com/vector-sports-project" target="_blank">impact energy of football helmets</a>, while in use, on the playing field.</span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10.5pt;">As the AMA planned
its 75<sup>th</sup> anniversary celebration, which will be held in Muncie this July, it
inquired with Joe whether ATC might do something special for the gala event.
Joe’s team came up with a 50 percent scale H-1 Racer. The H-1 in <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">The Aviator</i>, designed based on countless
photos of the original at the Smithsonian, weighed 450 pounds. The new model
looked to weigh in at 225 pounds ready to fly. “Too heavy,” said the AMA. It
would have to top out at 125 pounds to be legal at the event. Joe’s
indefatigable team went back to the drawing board—a 3<sup>rd</sup> plane had to
be designed and built! <br /><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10.5pt;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>And true to form, ATC
developed new technology. Precisely engineered resin-infused carbon fiber cloth
would comprise the new H-1’s skin. This will be the largest and perhaps the most
sophisticated 50 percent scale model in the world, with custom engineered
retracts and sophisticated electronic control systems. The 5-cylinder, 4-stroke
radial initially envisioned for the project may have to be replaced with a
lighter mill. But Joe, an aerospace engineer with a can-do attitude, is not
fazed. He says this has been a useful challenge that has expanded ATC’s
markets. </span></div>

project, and also the contributions of the ATC team in other arenas. Joe and
his people are making a difference by providing electronic systems to the
military, and for this reason this aerospace group also wears a badge of honor.</span><br />

the biggest challenges for the Aero Telemetry team. Joe and his team
had to <a href="http://www.aerotelemetry.com/The%20Aviator%20Movie%20Airplanes">design, build, and test</a>
a custom set of hydraulic, retractable landing gear, fabricate an
ultra-strong airframe, coordinate a complex airborne flight control
system, and integrate all of these systems seamlessly to overcome the
aerodynamic stresses of high speed and heavy payload.<br />
<br />
The primary scale models for <em>The Aviator</em> were the Aero Telemetry XF-11 and the H-4 Hercules or <a href="http://www.h4hercules.com/sprucegoose">Spruce Goose</a>.
Both of these airplanes would be designed and fabricated over a period
of 3 months by Joe Bok and his Aero Telemetry team. At the time, they
were the worlds largest (unmanned) flyable<strong> </strong>scale aircraft ever flown for a big budget Hollywood movie.<br />
<br />
The
aerodynamic profile of the wing, engine thrust-lines, CG location, main
airfoil angle of attack, incidence angles (between wing and horizontal
stabilizer), counter-rotating propellers, and vertical stabilizer offset
angles were just a few of the critical design criteria addressed and
implemented correctly by the Aero Telemetry engineering design team. All
these specific details contributed directly to the success and margin
of safety exemplified in all the flights of the Aero Telemetry XF-11.<br />
