THE BATTALION
Seven students propose
new flying lesson idea
Joe Blow, who has never set
foot in an airplane cockpit and
veteran of only two commercial
flights, straps into the bucket
seat of a two-place aircraft and
starts a pre-flight check.
Moments later, a rail-mounted
ground truck eases into motion,
a nylon rope tightens and the
plane moves forward.
Speed builds, the canard-type
glider rises silently into the air
and the instructor turns the con
trol stick of the 20-foot-long air
craft over to the fledgling pilot.
Far ahead over the circular
rail, another plane dips its wing
into a gentle turn. The side per
spective reveals a rather unusual
airplane configuration.
A slender nose section carrying
the stabilizer nine feet ahead of
the wing tapers back to the side-
by-side seating cockpit. The
plane’s 41-foot wing expanse is
connected to the fuselage on the
very back section. Twin rudders
bracket an area in which a push
er-configuration engine could be
mounted.
This scene is painted in a tech
nical proposal by seven Texas
A&M aerospace engineering
seniors. The idea and design
answers Dr. Charles A. Roden-
berger’s “proposal request” for
a recreational airpark at which
people can learn to fly. Very
safely and at low cost.
Proposals tendered by two
other seven-member groups of
students in the aerospace vehicle
design course take more standard
approaches to low-cost, high safe
ty factor planes that could be
flown in an airpark or sold as
certificated aircraft.
The airpark concept proposals
called for by Rodenberger take
into consideration that disposable
income has been growing con
stantly in the last decade and
money spent on recreation has
been growing even faster.
“Income expenditures related to
boating has doubled since 1966,”
the professor points out. “During
the same period, general aviation
sales have increased by only one
half.”
An innovation approach such
as an airpark would help establish
aviation as a recreation and in
crease the number of persons who
participate in flying.
“The aircraft would be designed
so that it would be completely
safe to fly with a minimum
amount of instruction. Being re
stricted to the airpark boundary,
it would not require licensing,”
Rodenberger added. “The theory
is that people would learn to fly
in a safe vehicle in the airpark
and thus be encouraged to enter
general aviation.”
Built-in safety is the main fac
tor of the “backward flying” craft
designed by a student-team head
ed by Charles W. Dickson III of
Houston.
They designed the canard so
that it stalls — or loses lift —
before the wing stalls as the
plane approaches a nose-up at
titude.
“But instead of stalling com
pletely, the canard is designed to
gently lower the nose of the air
craft to regain a safe flight
speed,” the students’ report
states. The action of the canard

does not allow the wing to stall,
eliminating spin and a major
cause of airplane accidents.
The long nose, specially con
structed to collapse like an ac
cordion, provides a crash attenu
ating structure that lowers G-
forces occupants of the craft
might he subjected to if the ship
should crash nose-first.
Dickson, Ronald L. Absolom of
Smithfield; Craig Anderson and
John L. Thaxton, Austin; Tom R.
Hazel, Houston; Stephen T. Pol
lock, Alexandria, Va., and Daniel
T. Whitt, Wellborn, noted that
installation of a 60 to 65-horse
power engine turns the glider
into a highly stable powered plane
capable of 93 mph cruising speeds.
They also designed a tow truck
operated on an industrial four
cycle engine that would pull the
glider around the circular track
— a concrete embedded rail — at
speeds of about 60 mph.
Using their design criteria and
S^-inch steel tubing as the rail,
the students computed that a
franchisable airpark consisting of
three gliders at $4,320 each, three
tow trucks at $2,000 each and
three miles of track at $2,000 per
hundred feet would require a
financial outlay of $214,560.
“As can be seen, the profit
margin will be low on a franchise
basis, but with many franchises
operating throughout the U. S.,
profits will be substantial,” they
pointed out.
Side products such as glider
kits for home construction, and
such airpark facilities as a para-
drop, kiddie merry-go-round or
boat-towed riding kites, golf and
picnic areas, the airpark could
be a going concern, they believe.
