2016: Is Your Company Ready?

The year ahead will be a challenging one for aftermarket suppliers, but not in the ways you might think. To be sure, there are the usual adversities - budgets are still tight, just as they have always been; quality demands are still high and growing every day; and the need to innovate will continue to winnow the successful companies from the also-rans.

But what makes 2016 different is the potential for suppliers to face unprecedented demand for products and services. The events of the last 2 years are combining with U.S. domestic politics and overall, long-term trends to make the worldwide demand potentially overwhelming for aftermarket suppliers.

At the time of this writing, American and French warplanes are striking targets in Syria and Iraq in the fight against ISIS. Saudi Arabian warplanes are striking targets in Yemen as part of the ongoing proxy war against Iran. And Iran is turning into a nearly insatiable market for products and services as the old sanctions scheme falls away. All of this activity requires support by transports, tankers, and other auxiliary aircraft.

This activity also means that all of those aircraft are wearing out components and subsystems. Inevitably, this will drive demand for aftermarket products and services.

It also will drive demand for innovative new products and services that respond to new threats and deficiencies being revealed on the battlefield and in the maintenance, repair, overhaul, and service centers. In this context, aftermarket suppliers who are not ready to deliver on short notice may find themselves being relegated to second-tier status, despite having superior products. (This is particularly true for those in the consumables end of the market.)

Meanwhile, domestic politics will be driving pressure in the U.S. Congress to once again increase defense spending. With the possible exception of Democrat Bernie Sanders, none of the candidates in the U.S. presidential race wants to appear weak on defense. At the same time, mounting domestic political pressure to combat ISIS and other terror threats will not only lead to more frequent and longer deployment and engagement of American forces, it also will lead to commensurate increased wear and tear on our forces' air fleets. This, too, translates into more demand for aftermarket products and services.

Then, there are the ongoing upgrade programs for the Boeing F-15 and F/A-18 aircraft. And Lockheed Martin's continuous upgrade programs for all of its fighters and transports. And the U.S. Navy's upgrade program for the Sikorsky MH-60 Black Hawk helicopter. And the new U.S. Air Force's T-X trainer competition that will be moving into high gear this year. And the newly announced B-21 bomber program.

And the constant upgrade, replacement, refurbishment, and design of the U.S. armed forces' myriad unmanned aerial vehicles. And . . . well, you get the picture.

So 2016 will place unprecedented demands on aftermarket suppliers in nearly every corner of the industry. Whether your company makes primary components, complete subsystems, individual parts, or even paints and coatings, this year could offer amazing opportunities for sales growth. The question is: Is your company ready to capitalize on this unique confluence of events and demand?

Northrop Grumman to Produce First Japanese E-2D Advanced Hawkeye Northrop Grumman Corporation has received a U.S. Navy contract modification for non-recurring engineering and recurring support to configure the first Japanese E-2D Advanced Hawkeye. The E-2D is an all-weather, airborne early warning (AEW), command, and control aircraft that will meet the Japanese Defense Ministry's requirements for an emerging next-generation AEW requirement. The aircraft will be produced at the company's Aircraft Integration Center of Excellence in St. Augustine, Florida.

Under the approximately $2.86 million contract modification, Northrop Grumman will configure the Japanese E-2D aircraft utilizing the same E-2D multiyear production line used for U.S. aircraft to allow for an efficient and affordable delivery schedule. The E-2D is the world's only in-production AEW aircraft.

"The E-2D will provide a critical capability that will serve as a force multiplier for the Japanese government," comments Jane Bishop, Vice President, E-2D Advanced Hawkeye and C-2 Greyhound programs, Northrop Grumman.

"First responders will be able to receive and act on information more quickly than before with greater airborne early warning capability and a networked communications system."

The Japanese Air Self Defense Force has operated the E-2C Hawkeye since the late 1980s. The E-2C also is in use by Taiwan, Egypt, and France.

Lockheed Martin Lands $270 Million in Military Aircraft Contracts The U.S. Department of Defense announced that Lockheed Martin Aeronautics is being awarded three U.S. Navy contracts devoted to military aircraft.

Under a $141.9 million deal to modernize Greece's P-3's, Lockheed Martin will reactivate one of Greeces P-3B aircraft and deliver hardware kits that upgrade four more of the nation's P-3Bs. The company also will provide depot maintenance, a mission integration and management system made especially for Greece, new avionics, and additional hardware. The contract is part of the P-3B modernization program, which will extend the service life of the aircraft by 15,000 flight hours. The majority of the work will be conducted throughout the United States, with the remaining work taking place in Greece, and completion estimated in 2019.

The second lucrative deal being given to Lockheed Martin, an $81.3 million cost-plusfixed-fee contract, tasks the company with upgrading F-35A, F-35B, and F-35C aircraft so that the fighter jets can perform well against evolving threats. The contract will benefit the U.S. Air Force the most, with $25 million of the funds devoted to that military branch. The U.S. Navy, U.S. Marine Corps, and non-Department of Defense groups also will benefit from the cost-plus-fixed-fee contract.

Finally, Lockheed Martin is being given a $47 million delivery order aiding Japan and Israel's F-35A aircraft.

Beechcraft Signs T-6C Contract with U.K. Military Training System Beechcraft Defense Company, a subsidiary of Textron Aviation, announced that it has signed a contract with Affinity Flying Training Services to provide ten Beechcraft T-6C Texan II military training aircraft to the U.K. Ministry of Defense's Military Flying Training System (UKMFTS) program. A second contract also has been signed to include 5 years of engineering services, parts support, maintenance training, and the placement of onsite Field Service Representatives, who will provide ongoing technical expertise to U.K. Ministry of Defense maintenance personnel.

"We are proud to offer the U.K. Ministry of Defense a proven and highly capable solution that will meet their current and future training needs," says Russ Bartlett of Beechcraft Defense Company. "We look forward to continuing our successful relationship with the UKMFTS program, providing a superior platform to fill its mission requirements as well as outstanding product support."

With deliveries beginning in the first quarter of 2018, the aircraft will support Team Affinity, a joint venture between Elbit Systems and KBR (Kellogg, Brown, and Root), which was selected as the preferred bidder to provide aircraft and maintenance services to the UKMFTS program. The T-6C trainers will replace Shorts Tucano T1 aircraft and join the fleet of Beechcraft King Air 350ER turboprops already providing live and synthetic radar training for Royal Navy observers as part of the U.K. Ministry of Defense Rear Crew Training program.

French Government Confirms C-130J Purchase France has confirmed its purchase of four Lockheed Martin C-130J Hercules tactical transports. A contract for the acquisition was signed after the U.S. Defense Security Cooperation Agency authorized the sale of two C-130Js, two extended-range Lockheed Martin KC-130J tankers, and a spare set of four Rolls-Royce AE 2100D turboprop engines. The deal was valued at $355 million when approved in November 2015, and it includes the aircraft, engines, support, and training.

Ordered from the U.S. Air Force via the Foreign Military Sales program, the C-130Js will be delivered in 2017 and 2018, with the two tankers following in 2019. The variants will complement France's C-160R Transall and Lockheed C-130H Hercules aircraft, and the tankers are being acquired to support aerial refueling of its rotorcraft fleet. France also hopes to arm the type with the Lockheed AGM-114K1A Hellfire air-to-surface missile used aboard its Airbus Helicopters Tiger attack rotorcraft.

Cascade Aerospace Begins Block 7.0 Upgrade on Canada's CC-130J Hercules Cascade Aerospace announces the competition of the first Block 7.0 upgrade installation on a C-130J Super Hercules operated by the Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF). This also is the first C-130J Block 7.0 upgrade to be completed outside of an original equipment manufacturer (OEM) or government facility. All seventeen of the CC-130Js in the RCAF's fleet will receive the Block 7.0 upgrade, with Cascade Aerospace managing the installation process.

The Block 7.0 program adds twenty-nine capabilities to the C-130J Hercules, including Link-16 Tactical Data Link, which provides enhanced situational awareness by linking voice and graphic communications between allied aircraft, a New Flight Management System that complies with CNS/ATM mandates and includes vertical navigation coupled with auto throttle capacity, and two special mission display processor civil GPS ground power modules.

The added capabilities were selected by a multi-national C-130J Super Hercules user group that includes the United States, Canada, Denmark, Italy, Norway, the United Kingdom, and Australia. Canada will be the first C-130J operator to accomplish a full fleet Block 7.0 upgrade, scheduled to be complete in October 2016.

Boeing KC-46A Pegasus Passes First Midair Refueling Test for the U.S. Air Force Aircrews from the U.S. Air Force and Boeing completed the first KC-46A Pegasus tanker refueling mission 20,000 feet above Washington state.

During the flight, which lasted nearly 6 hours, the tanker aircraft was used to refuel an F-16 fighter aircraft. The test team was able to offload 1,600 pounds of fuel from the Pegasus into the F-16.

KC-46 system program manager Colonel Christopher Coombs says the flight officially kicked off the Milestone C aerial refueling demonstration, a prerequisite for low-rate initial production. According to Coombs, "We have a lot of work yet to do, but this is an exciting time for the airmen who are preparing to fly, maintain, and support the KC-46 Pegasus for decades to come."

The flight test, which involved multiple contacts between the Pegasus and the F-16, was performed to verify the tanker's ability to transfer fuel.

The aircraft flew with its 56-foot boom downward toward the F-16, and waited for the fighter to move into position, before fully extending the boom down to the F-16's refueling receptacle. The system automatically turned off the pumps once the transfer was complete.

The KC-46A, which first took flight in September 2015, is scheduled to perform more flight refueling tests with additional military aircraft, including the C-17, F/A-18, A-10, and AV-8B. The Boeing-made Pegasus aircraft is designed for refueling all U.S. and allied military aircraft, and it is also equipped with protection technology to detect, avoid, defeat, and survive threats during its missions.

StandardAero Wins MRO Contract to Support U.S. Army Special Forces C-27Js StandardAero was recently awarded a new contract to provide support for the U.S. Army Special Forces Aviation Group's engine maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) services for its fleet of eight C-27J aircraft. The contract will be administered by Lockheed Martin, which holds the overarching responsibility to provide maintenance for the U.S. Army Special Forces Aviation sector.

"We are excited to begin this new relationship with the U.S. Army Special Forces and Lockheed Martin and hope to exceed their expectations," says Fritz Wolkenstein, Vice President and General Manager of StandardAero's Defense and Energy business unit in Winnipeg, Canada. "We look forward to developing a long-term partnership." StandardAero is a leading aircraft engine MRO provider, supporting more than 700 military engine overhauls over the past 22 years. The company also is known as an industry leader in reliabilitycentered maintenance.

"We continue to hear from customers, 'It takes a Herc to replace a Herc,'" says GĂŠczy.

The Rolls-Royce T56 Series 3.5 Engine Upgrade program for the turboprop engines that power the C-130 and the P-3 also drew interest at both the HOC and the P-3 IOSC. The latter event was held at the Marriott Atlanta Northeast, October 26-29.

Co-hosted by the Japan Maritime Self Defense Force under the theme, "Kizuna," a Japanese word meaning "connecting and partnering for success," the IOSC drew more than 500 attendees from eighteen different countries and thirty-seven exhibitors, the highest count in at least 3 years, according to IOSC Co-Chairman Jim Beer of original equipment manufacturer (OEM) Lockheed Martin, which is based in Bethesda, Maryland.

The T56 3.5 upgrade features technology improvements in the Rolls-Royce engine's compressor and turbine. This upgrade can be installed during overhaul and provides reductions in fuel consumption and increased time on wing, reducing overall lifecycle costs. At both gatherings, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), launch customer for the upgrade program,

At the time of the gatherings, each engine had accumulated more than 300 hours, and recorded fuel consumption reductions of up to 12 percent, according to NOAA. EXHIBITORS MAKE NEWS Chris Culp, Rolls-Royce Vice President, Sales, reported that the company, with U.S. operations headquartered in Reston, Virginia, has secured its first contract with the U.S. Air Force for upgrading C-130 engines. It will be converting the Wyoming and New York Air National Guard H model fleets to 3.5 powerplants beginning in 2017.

The more efficient design allows the engines to be flown at lower operating temperatures, which is expected to translate to a 20 percent increase in time on wing.

The systems "allow quick mission changes and provides the aircraft with an open mission platform," said company president Rick Knight. San Antonio, Texas-based Knight debuted a mockup of its Universal Patient Module (UPM), a RORO medical suite, generating "a lot of interest from foreign countries," Knight said. The Universal Patient Module is for military readiness, humanitarian aid and disaster relief.

The company also recently introduced an Aeromedical BioContainment Module (ABCM) for patients with contagious diseases.

Knight is now developing a palletized passenger transport RORO solution for the LM-100J, as the company did for the L100, and is working on FAA certification for the units.

LOCKHEED MARTIN ENHANCES SUPPORT Lockheed Martin had developments of its own to report. For instance, the OEM used the P-3 IOSC to highlight SourcePoint, the company's "single point of contact for the entire P-3 program," states Beer. "It provides the smaller fleet operators the opportunity to collaborate on sustainment issues."

At the gathering, Lockheed Martin demonstrated the new SourcePoint Web site, which includes discussion forums enabling operators to communicate, collaborate, and pool resources. (No technical data

or ITAR data is exchanged on the site.)

Blue Aerospace, MHD-Rockland, and Kellstrom Defense Aerospace provide logistics support to SourcePoint site users. "They bring flexibility and speed to the table," says Beer. "They can bundle customer requirements, offering a reduced price for quantity buys."

Additionally, a solution to the shortage of P-3 tailpipes was announced at the IOSC. DCM Aerospace of Quebec, Canada, will put a run of the tailpipes into production; MHD-Rockland will be the distributor.

Meanwhile, a year after introducing Lockheed Martin's Herc Fusion trend analysis initiative at the 2014 HOC, GĂŠczy reported a prototype of the system is in operation. He says that Herc Fusion aims to harness the reams of data collected on the C130-J and legacy models from operational data, health monitoring systems, and supply chain and fleet management information to "laterally integrate the silos of extensive digital data and draw conclusions on trends, positive and negative."

PROVEN FIGHTER OPERATORS MEET IN OGDEN The prior month, on September 1318, the annual F-16 & Proven Aircraft TCG Worldwide Review was held at the Eccles Conference Center in Ogden Utah. This event, showcased sustainment support services for partner nations operating the F-5, F-4, A/T-37, and T-38 aircraft.

The F-16 & Proven Aircraft TCG provides the same service to partner nations flying all variants of the F-16. The Worldwide Review, the capstone service provided by the TCG each year, provides an opportunity for all partner nations to gather in one location to discuss common configuration, maintenance, and logistics issues, WWW.ABDONLINE.COM

t could be up, up, and away for biofuels when it comes to military aviation. But to realize that potential, challenges have to be overcome, chief among them economics. Aviation biofuels - or sustainable alternative jet fuels, as advocates call them - must be cost competitive with other fuels, a tough task given current low oil prices.

PRODUCTION AND CHALLENGES Synthetic jet fuels can come from an increasing number of sources, according to Steve Csonka, Executive Director of the Commercial Aviation Alternative Fuels Initiative (CAAFI). An industry coalition, CAAFI works to expand the production and availability of sustainable jet fuel alternatives.

One of the ways it does this is by helping new pathways become part of international biofuel production standards.

A few years ago there was one approved production process.

Now there are four, with half a dozen more in the pipeline.

Csonka predicts that there will be a new pathway approved every 6 months or so over the next few years. It should then be possible to create jet fuel from wood waste, waste fats, non-edible plants, and other biomass sources using one of various methods.

For each of these different WWW.ABDONLINE.COM

pathways, there is a company or companies championing it. The reason for this level of activity and the diversity in this field has to do with the urgent need to cut the cost of the alternative fuels, along with general disagreement as to the best way to do so.

"What you have is a bunch of entrepreneurs who believe that they have the technology and the secret sauce to lower the cost of production in one of two ways: either by coming up with processing where the capital expense of the facility is low, or by attacking the other side, which is going after lower operating costs, or by some combination of both," Csonka WWW.ABDONLINE.COM

existing petroleum refinery to make both jet and diesel fuel, using a process licensed from Honeywell UOP of Des Plaines, Illinois.

The technology allows the refiner to adjust the output to market conditions, says Veronica May, Vice President and General Manager of Honeywell UOP's renewable energy and chemicals business. Typically, this means that between 15 and 33 percent of the total production is jet fuel. Any biofuel that is produced is expected to sell at the same price as comparable fossil fuel.

May points out, "Actual cost of production varies mainly on feedstock market price."

Additionally, a number of variables impact feedstock cost. One factor is the expense of gathering up the material, which can be quite high.

That can be the case if widely scattered feedstock has to be collected and transported to a central processing facility.

Another feedstock cost element, somewhat surprisingly, is the very act of finding a use for what was formerly considered a valueless waste product.

According to May, for example, Honeywell UOP developed and deployed technology to convert waste cooking oil from restaurants into jet fuel. That can create a market for the waste oil and give it value, which can lead to an increase in the up-front price of waste cooking oil and change the economics of fuel production.

In addition to feedstock costs, another key element is government incentives - one example is what is known as the blender's tax credit. According to May, this has usually run about $1 a gallon. Beyond the size of any current incentive, however, is the question of whether such incentives will continue to be offered. Biofuel production projects, like other refineries, take 16 AVIATION AFTERMARKET DEFENSE | SPRING 2016

3 or more years to build. Investors, of course, want to know if incentives will be there when the project is finished and fuel is being produced.

The problem is that government policy guidance often does not extend far enough into the future. May says that was the case with guidelines published by the U.S. Environmental Protection agency in November 2015. These only ran until 2017, too short a timeframe for any new projects contemplating a launch in 2016.

The regulatory situation also is in flux. Many in the industry expect that California's carbon fuel standards may be the requirements eventually adopted by other states, May says. If that is the case, then biofuels have an advantage. As she points out, "The carbon intensity for our renewable fuels are significantly lower than fossil fuels, both for our

pyrolysis oil from biomass and in our nonedible fats, oils, and greases process."

According to the California Air Resources Board, switching from a fossil fuel to a biofuel can cut carbon intensity by as much as 90 percent, if there is no land use or other indirect effect raising the carbon impact of the biofuel. Even in cases where crops must be grown, harvested, and processed, the carbon savings can top 40 percent. For some feedstocks though, the carbon reduction is negligible.

The other big economic consideration, of course, is the price of oil. While it reached well over $100 a barrel a few years ago, it now looks like it could drop as low as $25 a barrel this year. That makes certain processes particularly those with higher feedstock costs - too expensive comparatively to be viable.

Honeywell Green Jet Fuel™ powers world's first transatlantic biofuel flight.

MEETING SPECIFICATIONS Finally, for the defense industry, another cost impact is posed by additional specifications. Most military jet fuel must meet either JP5 or JP-8 specifications, which differ slightly in freeze point and more significantly in flash point.

Both JP-5 and JP-8 call for a freeze point of about -46 degrees Celsius (-51 degrees Fahrenheit) or below. Honeywell UOP's technology leads to biofuels with a freeze point of -57 degrees C (-71 degrees F), meaning that the specification is easily met.

JP-5 is the safer of the two because it has a flash point of 60 degrees C (140 degrees F) versus the flash point of 38 degrees C (100 degrees F) for JP-8. Biofuels can meet the lower specification but not always the higher one without special treatment. In Honeywell WWW.ABDONLINE.COM

UOP's case, the flash point of fuels produced using its processes is 45 degrees C (113 degrees F). As May explains, hitting the higher flash point requires putting additives into the fuel, driving up its cost.

"The carbon intensity for our renewable fuels are significantly lower than fossil fuels, both for our pyrolysis oil from biomass and in our nonedible fats, oils, and greases process."

That, however, may not be too significant a barrier. JP-8 makes up the vast majority - by some reports 90 percent - of military aviation fuel.

So biofuels can be blended in without requiring the use of additives.

As for commercial fuel, the flash point is the same as JP-5. In the United States, Jet A, with a freeze

industry stated goal of having biofuels account for between 5 and 15 percent of total aviation fuel consumption by 2020. Hitting that target, which would require a significant ramp up in production of biofuels, would make it easier for military aviation to adopt greener, more sustainable fuels.

Modular process units to be used at ENVIA Energy's landfill gas-to-liquids plant in Oklahoma City.

LOOKING AHEAD Neville Hargreaves is Business Development Director of Velocys, which has its commercial center in Houston. The company designs, develops, and commercializes technology to produce synthetics from natural gas and renewable sources, such as waste biomass, via what is known as FischerTropsch synthesis. Velocys's technology is the basis of the fuel production to be used in a Red Rock Biofuels plant proposed for Lakeview, Oregon.

While more plants are in various stages of planning, design, or actual construction, no biorefinery producing a large volume of jet fuel is up and running yet. Part of the reason is caution in committing to such investments, a particular concern 18

AVIATION AFTERMARKET DEFENSE | SPRING 2016

when facilities take years to complete and cost at least tens of millions of dollars. Success may overcome that reluctance.

"To some extent, the first one is always the hardest. Establishing the whole pathway is important to people. Then once that's done, it's 'Oh, yes, we're going to do one just like the one over there'," Hargreaves concludes.

It could well be that biofuel production will quickly ramp up.

And depending on the outcome, looming rules regarding allowable carbon emissions could move the process along. That may be especially true if investors become convinced that airlines have to significantly cut the carbon intensity of their fuel. In that case, biofuels could be a solution.

Currently, though, hitting even

a 5 percent biofuel target by 2020, which is only 4 years away, still seems somewhat unlikely, Hargreaves admits. But that does not mean it cannot happen.

Regarding reaching this goal, he concludes, "It remains a challenge for everybody, the government, airlines, airports, all those involved in aviation to make sure that this gets done."

Flying and Maintaining the Airbus Lakota for Homeland Defense

efense is often considered a force to combat any external power that threatens our security as a nation. Defense, however, starts at home within our own fifty states. Frontline defenders include National Guard units, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, and more. While each National Guard unit is individually funded by the state where it is located, an examination of their diverse duties demonstrates that missions often exceed the state boundaries.

We visited Williamstown, West Virginia, where the Army Aviation Support Facility, No. 1, part of Company B of the 224th Aviation

Support Group is tasked with roles vital to Homeland Security. Flying the UH-72A Lakota Light Utility Helicopter manufactured by Airbus Helicopters, a division of Airbus Group, the unit is tasked with a range of missions. Warrant Officer 4 Charles Lloyd, reports that "the mission of our unit includes surveillance in conjunction with state and federal law enforcement agencies, as well as drug interdiction, medical rescue, and training."

As a highly rated pilot, instructor, and maintenance pilot, Lloyd is involved with all aspects of flying the Lakota. "The UH-72 is a pretty operator-friendly bird to fly," reports

this experienced pilot, "and even though the aircraft was originally designed as the Eurocopter 145, it performs well in our assigned Homeland Security roles. For example, the helicopter's rigid, as opposed to hinged, rotor blades make the aircraft far more responsive than, say, the Boeing UH-64 Apache. In addition, the airframe is very stable, and the avionics package is head and shoulders above anything else I have ever seen."

Both flying and maintaining these birds require a shift in thinking and practice, due to the differences between the supplied civilian-type technical orders and U.S.-oriented military tech orders.

Pilot flight checklists are also arranged differently and require familiarization to quickly find important sections, such as various emergency procedures.

On the maintenance side of the house, technical order specifications are primarily given in

Lakota crew chiefs report that one of the best things about operating the UH-72A is the excellent chain of supply, which is both efficient and fast.

Due to the quick turnaround times on parts ordered, the on-site bench stock for this unit is surprisingly small.

"Tooling up for this new helicopter involved the procurement of metric tools," says technician Staff Sergeant Scott Vreyens, another Lakota crew chief. "We have modified our toolboxes to include the necessary equipment. But there are some special tools which every base does not have. Instead, they are distributed to certain units and shared amongst them when needed."

As Riggs points out, "this board is a great idea that saves a lot of time searching for necessary parts when performing a task.

Additionally, you can be assured that you have performed all necessary steps, because the board is empty when the job is completed."

Defending our homeland is an important job made easier and more cost-efficient by the utilization of the Lakota light utility helicopter.

WHEN WORLDS COLLIDE

LOCKHEED MARTIN BUYS SIKORSKY This Acquisition Brings Uncertainty and Opportunity for Aftermarket Suppliers of Both Companies.

By John Likakis

W

hen word reached the business press in March 2015 that United Technologies was looking to sell or spin off Sikorsky, the conventional wisdom held that it would be difficult to find a buyer. In fact, it took United Technologies a remarkably short amount of time to find a buyer for the helicopter maker.

The next-nearest fit in the business, Textron, made a bid for Sikorsky, but then declined to 24 AVIATION AFTERMARKET DEFENSE | SPRING 2016

outbid Lockheed Martin. This probably was a wise decision, as a Textron purchase of Sikorsky would have faced intense anti-trust scrutiny. A foreign buyer, such as Eurocopter, might have run afoul of technology transfer regulations.

And while Sikorsky as a standalone company would be profitable, it would not have the margins that make Wall Street types excited enough to help the company raise substantial capital when needed.

So it was a bit of a surprise when, on June 20, 2015, Lockheed

Martin announced that it would buy Sikorsky from United Technologies in a deal worth an estimated $9 billion. Considering the size of the entities involved, it seemed unlikely that the deal would close by November. But close it did.

NOT QUITE STRANGERS In the months since, Lockheed Martin and Sikorsky have been busy figuring out how to best work together. However, the two companies have worked together WWW.ABDONLINE.COM

Together in the sky, together in business: Lockheed Martin's acquisition of Sikorsky from United Technologies has caused some concern among suppliers of aftermarket services and products for both companies, as well as planting hope for future expansion.

in the past. They teamed up in 2012 to offer a new version of the Sikorsky HH-60 Black Hawk, to serve as a combat rescue helicopter for the U.S. Air Force, and won the contract in 2014.

The $1.2 billion project calls for the production of four prototypes for testing and evaluation, with an option for as many as 112 aircraft should serial production get the go-ahead. Dubbed the HH-60W, the new chopper's first flight was slated for April 2016. However, the schedule has slipped, and the first flight is now expected in 2019. (The 2-year delay prompted one industry observer to wonder if the "W" in HH-60W stands for "wait.")

In recent years, Lockheed Martin and Sikorsky also have partnered to win contracts for maintenance and upgrades of Sikorsky's H-60 series helicopters for both the American armed forces and for foreign customers, such as Saudi Arabia. These upgrades include a broad range of components, from software and avionics to subsystems.

All of this was, and is, good news for Sikorsky.

But what about Sikorsky's aftermarket suppliers and vendors? What does this new combination mean for those companies? Will Sikorsky still deal directly with vendors? Or is it contemplated that Lockheed Martin will move this function in-house?

At the time of this writing in early 2016, there were no firm answers to these questions - at least, not yet. The deal is still so new that neither Lockheed Martin nor Sikorsky has had enough time to work out the myriad details and make many of the decisions that will impact Sikorsky's supply chain.

BUSINESS AS USUAL? In the immediate aftermath of the announcement WWW.ABDONLINE.COM

Lockheed Martin and Sikorsky have worked together on a number of projects, including on-going efforts to develop a new combat-rescue version of the HH-60 Black Hawk for the U.S. Air Force.

Mention the name Sikorsky, and chances are pretty good that the first thing that comes to mind is a helicopter.

And rightly so, given that Sikorsky helicopters can be found doing Here Igor Sikorsky is shown flying an early VS-300 helicopter. everything from The VS-300 incorporated all of the elements found in dipping sonar units modern helicopters. to locate lurking submarines to dipping water buckets to drop on raging brush fires. Today, Sikorsky is so synonymous with helicopters that it is easy to forget that the company's founder, Igor Sikorsky, first made his name with airplanes. Big airplanes.

Born in Russia in 1889, Igor Sikorsky first caught the world's attention when he designed and flew the first multi-engine airplane in 1913. He followed the flight of the Rusky Vityaz with the world's first airliner, the Ilya Muromets. In the wake of the Russian Revolution, Sikorsky moved to America in 1919. Four years, later he founded the Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation.

Under his leadership, the company gained international fame by designing the Pan American Airways Clipper series of flying boats. Those early airliners allowed Juan Tripp's Pan Am to offer service across the Pacific and around South America, transforming travel from a weeks- or months-long ordeal to something that could be accomplished in just a few days.

While the airplane business continued to grow, Igor had long been fascinated with the idea of vertical flight. His research and inspiration paid off in 1939 when the Vought-Sikorsky VS-300 took flight. The VS-300 was not the first helicopter to lift off, but it was prototypical in that it incorporated all of the design elements found in nearly every helicopter flying today.

Igor Sikorsky died in 1972 at the age of 83. In his lifetime, manned flight went from Otto Lilienthal's rudimentary gliding flights to Americans reaching the Moon. Sikorsky's company went from producing specialty flying boats to being one of the premier helicopter manufacturers in the world.

But beyond his legacy as an aviation pioneer, Igor Sikorsky also left us with one of aviation's most enduring mysteries: How did he manage to keep his fedora on while flying an opencockpit helicopter?

After the deal was announced last summer, Lockheed Martin spokespersons also commented that there could be as much as $150 million in such savings, once the companies had thoroughly analyzed all factors, including suppliers, facilities, and even their own workforces.

Speaking with a local Connecticut newspaper, Lockheed Martin spokeswoman Larisa Cioaca stated, "Upon closing of the Sikorsky acquisition, Lockheed Martin will review all operations to identify ways to improve efficiency and affordability, including supply chain savings, as well as potential future consolidations in footprint and headcount."

For its part, Sikorsky has continued business pretty much as it did before the deal was inked.

Sikorsky spokesman Paul Jackson told us: "We've made no changes" with regard to Sikorsky's suppliers, pointing out that "our suppliers are integral to our success."

At the same time, he also said that "the integration process remains ongoing and, as part of

the process, we are looking at every part of the company, including the supply chain, for opportunities to create greater value to ensure we remain competitive and provide affordable solutions to our government and commercial customers." It is this last part that looms ominously over many of Sikorsky's legacy vendors.

VENDORS WONDER Aftermarket companies we spoke with expressed various predictions of what all this may mean. One company spokesman (preferring to keep his name off the record) told us that he does not see the acquisition resulting in significant changes to standing business relationships. "However," he added, "they may see it differently." And that reaction pretty much sums up what Sikorsky's existing suppliers are feeling: a mixture of caution and optimism.

For example, Hexcel Corporation works with both Sikorsky and Lockheed Martin.

According to Hexcel spokesman Charlie Dunbar, "We [Hexcel and Sikorsky] have a long history of working closely together, solving design and engineering challenges with composite

solutions. We hope our relationship will only broaden with Lockheed Martin's acquisition of Sikorsky."

Many suppliers are taking a wait-and-see attitude and remain reluctant to comment on any aspect of either the deal or their view of the future. Most we spoke with offered up some variation of "It's going to be quite a while before the dust settles, and until it does, nobody knows what to expect."

Despite the trepidation expressed by many Sikorsky suppliers, there apparently is cause for optimism. In our recent conversation, Sikorsky's Jackson explained, "We anticipate new opportunities for both existing and new suppliers. As we take a disciplined, deliberate approach to the integration process, we are evaluating and will work with our suppliers for new opportunities with our government and commercial programs."

AN OPPORTUNITY FOR GROWTH There are some hints as to what lies ahead. The Sikorsky name and brand are recognized worldwide, with the company having built a reputation as a global leader in the helicopter business. It seems

A mere 8 years after the Wright brothers skimmed over the sands at Kitty Hawk, North Carolina, Allan and Malcolm Loughead founded the 26 AVIATION AFTERMARKET DEFENSE | SPRING 2016

Alco Hydro-Aeroplane Company in San Francisco. Four years later in 1916, they moved their venture south along the coast to Santa Barbara. That same year, they gave a young draftsman his first aviation job. That draftsman was Jack Northrop. The company, renamed the Loughead Aircraft Manufacturing Company, went on to design and fly the record-setting Model F-1 flying boat.

Then, the end of World War I in 1918 flooded the market with surplus military aircraft. Despite having some truly innovative designs, the

company shut down in 1921.

In 1926, Allan Loughead teamed up with Jack Northrop and Kenneth Jay. The three of them rounded up funding and started the Lockheed Aircraft Company. The name Lockheed was the phonetic spelling of Loughead, and Allan Loughead legally changed the spelling of his name to match that of the company.

The two companies are still working out the details of how they will ultimately fit together. In the meantime, Sikorsky continues to run largely as a standalone operation, and suppliers can continue to look for new opportunities with the company.

likely that Lockheed Martin will be reluctant to tamper with the management strategies that have produced such results and instead will allow Sikorsky to continue to function as a relatively independent business unit. In turn, it seems likely that Sikorsky will continue to manage its own supply chain.

If that is the case, few changes in the supply chain can be expected in

the near term, except in the most glaring instances of duplication of effort. At the same time, increased investment by the parent company potentially could mean substantial growth across the board for aftermarket service and parts suppliers.

Meanwhile, Sikorsky forges ahead, moving from success to success. What was an ad hoc

the Electra went from sketches on a drafting table to prototypes. Northrop, who had designed the successful Vega, left the company in 1929 to start his own string of aircraft companies. (The last of these ventures-Northrop Aircraft-is today part of Northrop Grumman.)

With Northrop no longer on the team, Lockheed sent its latest design for the Electra to the University of Michigan for wind-tunnel testing. A young grad student at the university working on the project concluded that the Electra was lacking in directional stability. His professor disagreed, but when Clarence "Kelly" Johnson went to work at

Lockheed as a tool designer in 1933, he soon convinced his boss that he was right about the Electra's stability problem. Johnson's changes to the Model 10 Electra helped make it an aircraft so ahead of its time that Amelia Earhart chose it for her around-the-world flight attempt.

Kelly Johnson, of course, went on to become one of the greatest aircraft designers of all time. Jack Northrop went on to design the famous Flying Wing bombers that laid the foundation for the B-2 stealth bomber in service today. Lockheed went on to merge with Martin Marietta and produce some of

THE BUDGET IN HISTORY

In the 1960s, defense budgets reflecting the Pentagon's need for multirole aircraft led to the development of models such as the McDonnell Douglas F-4 Phantom II. The relatively low unit cost of the F-4 allowed large numbers to be built over its production run. This F-4, photographed in 1987, was attached to U.S. Marine Fighter-Attack Squadron 321.

The increasing complexity of advanced electronics systems led planners of the 1970s and 1980s to craft budgets that called for aircraft with a higher per-unit price tag, including this General Dynamics (now Lockheed Martin) F-16 Fighting Falcon, seen here at Clark Air Base in the Philippines during a nighttime exercise in 1989. The overall cost of such platforms was balanced by the ability to frequently upgrade the aircraft's avionics and armaments.

The annual unveiling of the defense budget serves as a sort of milestone for the American journey.

It also serves as a timely reminder of how past expenditures reflected the tenor of their times. And how sometimes, even the best-laid plans go awry.

W

hen President Obama recently unveiled his proposed 2017 defense budget of $582.7 billion, the increase over the $580 billion allotted to the U.S. armed forces for 2016 seemed, in relative terms, a small amount.

However, the Pentagon's rationale for specific increases in spending to support U.S. allies in Europe, to deter potential threats in the East, and to combat the spread of terrorism - constitute a major statement about the nation's defense needs in a time of global unrest.

WWW.ABDONLINE.COM

COLD WAR BARGAINS In the 1960s, the annual blueprint for military spending was largely based on the potential of Cold War conflict with the Soviet Union. With the parameters of such a conflict being unknown, an aircraft was needed that could adapt to a wide variety of combat situations.

This need resulted in such models as the versatile F-4 Phantom

million for the F-4D to $2.4 million for the F-4E. The Northrop F-5 carried a similarly modest unit cost of $2.1 million per plane. As a result, it, like the F-4, was produced in large numbers.

THE 1970S INTO THE 1980S: COSTS INCREASE The use of increasingly sophisticated avionics and the need to accommodate incremental advances in technology led to far higher unit costs for aircraft produced under the defense budgets of the 1970s through the mid-1980s.

Emblematic of the trend was the McDonnell Douglas F-15 Eagle, introduced in 1976 with a unit cost of

THE BUDGET IN HISTORY As the end of the Cold War approached in the late 1980s, uncertainty about the global landscape led to unprecedented difficulties in the budgeting and procurement process. The A-12 Avenger II, as seen in this 1990 artist's depiction, was initially viewed as the U.S. Navy's advanced attack aircraft of the future, but delays in its development and unforeseen increases in its cost caused the Pentagon to cancel the program in 1991.

Falcon, introduced in 1978 with a cost of $14.6 million for each F16A/B. In stark contrast, the defense budgets of the late 1980s reflected the confusion and turmoil that accompanied the approaching end of the Cold War. The tumult of that era is embodied in one of the strangest of all budget stories: the sad saga of the A-12 Avenger II. A NEW ERA Jointly developed by McDonnell Douglas and General Dynamics, the A-12 was intended as a replacement for the A-6 Intruder, which, at that time, was well into its third decade as the primary medium-range, all-weather attack aircraft for the U.S. Navy and the U.S. Marine Corps.

The A-12 was developed under a $4.83 billion contract awarded by the U.S. Navy on January 13, 1988. The contract called for the production of eight prototypes.

The Pentagon initially anticipated 30

AVIATION AFTERMARKET DEFENSE | SPRING 2016

a total purchase of 620 aircraft, with the total value of the program estimated at $57 billion.

Compared to the A-6, the faster, longer-range A-12 represented an entirely new type of aircraft. It was anticipated that the A-12 could fulfill its predecessor's attack role, even as that role evolved well into the twenty-first century. However, the complexity of the A-12 design, including the stealth technology it would employ, led to unexpected delays and unanticipated increases in the cost of its development.

By December 1990, McDonnell Douglas and General Dynamics had already incurred costs beyond the $4.83 billion ceiling allotted for the project's first phase, and they sought reimbursement from the U.S. Department of Defense. The contractors argued that the original agreement was fundamentally flawed, in that it set a fixed price for the procurement of an aircraft that was largely

defined by still-evolving technology.

For its part, the Pentagon revealed that its outlay for the development of the A-12 had reached $1.2 billion by January 1991. It was further estimated that continuing development to the prototype stage would cost more than $7.5 billion. Ultimately convinced that the contractors would be unable to produce the aircraft within the terms set forth in the contract, the Department of Defense canceled development of the A-12 on January 7, 1991.

The end of the A-12 program began 23 years of acrimonious legal claims and counter claims that went unresolved until January 2014. At that time, Boeing (the successor to McDonnell Douglas, with which it merged in 1997) and General Dynamics agreed to a settlement that called for them to supply the U.S. Navy with $400 million worth of aircraft and services.

he Chinese pursuit of military-backed territorial expansion in the South and East China Seas is creating concern among South East Asian countries, which are just beginning to realize that China is strategically outmaneuvering them. Possession of this area as an exclusive economic zone (EEZ) would give China not only rights to mineral deposits and offshore oil and gas but also control over the maritime traffic passing through almost the whole region.

In addition, China had seized Scarborough Shoal, only 100 miles from the Philippine coast. Before that, on January 2, 2016, a Chinese civilian plane landed on an artificial island in the Spratly Islands. These

actions have fueled fears that military jets will follow, eventually resulting in the Chinese establishing an Air Defense Identification Zone (ADIZ).

TRIGGERING AVIATION GROWTH The United States, while having no territorial claim to any part of the region, is against the Chinese dominating the region through their militarization strategy. Other nations have established a range of airfields of different sizes in the South China Sea, which have largely remained benign. However, China's rapid building program, creating strategic airfields on islands in the region, together with the arrival of missiles, has quickly 34 AVIATION AFTERMARKET DEFENSE | SPRING 2016

increased its ability to deploy air power.

This is the latest in a play for dominance that has been progressing for some time. In November 2013, China declared an East China Sea ADIZ with air traffic restrictions. The area included in the zone ranges from the Japanese-controlled Senkaku Islands (also claimed by China and Taiwan), north to South Koreanclaimed Socotra Rock (known as Suyan Jiao in China). Half of this declared ADIZ area infringes on the existing Japanese ADIZ, and smaller parts of South Korean and Taiwanese ADIZs. During a discussion organized by the Washington, D.C.-based Center for Strategic and

International Studies (CSIS), Timothy Heath, a senior defense research analyst with the U.S. Rand Corporation spoke about China's potential airpower intensions with regard to the developments in the Spratly Islands. As a consequence of that new installation, he states, "The Chinese will be able to deploy maritime patrol aircraft on a much more persistent basis, giving Chinese decision [makers] much better situational awareness."

Heath surmises that initially the most likely aircraft would be "an MPA (maritime patrol aircraft) Y-8 [four-engine turboprop] variant [developed by Shaanxi Aircraft Industry Corporation, a subsidiary of AVIC 1], also an amphibious aircraft." (The "also" refers to the AG-600, seventeen of which have already been ordered by the Chinese government.) However, the construction of a 3,000-meter (approximately 1.86-mile) runway would allow the Chinese to deploy whatever type of aircraft they wish from fighters to bombers and special-mission aircraft.

Due to the current minimal level of ground and maintenance facilities, other than the runways, and considering the relatively harsh climactic conditions, due to the geographical position of the islands, Heath says, "It is unlikely that high-end aircraft will be there on a permanent basis. For training, we are likely to see a Shenyang J-11 [based on the Soviet-designed Sukhoi Su-27] or the Xian JH-7, until they can build hangers and facilities to better take care of [more complex] aircraft."

With rumors circulating of a possible second airstrip being built on the Spratly Islands, Heath notes that the "Chinese [would be] aware of the vulnerability of a single airstrip. Therefore, a second could provide redundancy and allow a quicker generation of sorties WWW.ABDONLINE.COM

should they be required."

Whether the eventual aim of the Chinese government would be to declare another ADIZ is open to speculation. Certainly, it would be difficult to enforce, and any support from the Chinese mainland would take a long time to arrive. If such a serious scenario were to develop, Heath observes that a single U.S. Navy aircraft carrier "could generate enough firepower to take them out [the island airfields]."

However, Heath predicts that the greater likelihood is continued peaceful "coercion," with the Chinese employing separate tactics against individual national claimants.

This would be an escalation of the "bullying" policy that has already been practiced by the Chinese People's Army Navy (CPAN) and the Chinese Coastguard, particularly against fishing vessels from Vietnam.

But as the Coastguard continues to increase in size, along with the number of vessels at its disposal, this policy could be widened to include vessels from the Philippines and perhaps from Malaysia in time.

Malaysia and Singapore are two countries that could be co-opted into a maritime patrol strategy. Malaysia has a direct need to counter China over its own claims in the South China Sea. While one look at the sea surrounding Singapore on any given day reveals just how dependent it is as a maritime commercial hub.

patrol, and it is powered by four IHI turbofan engines. The Japanese Maritime Self-Defense Force (JMSDF) has identified a requirement for seventy aircraft to replace its P-3C Orion fleet. So far, only the first ten P-1s have been received by the JMSDF; these are being tested from the Naval Air Facility Atsugi, near Tokyo.

The P-1s have an operational radius of over 1,300 nautical miles and have a fly-by-light flight-control system. One of the main advantages of this system is that it reduces the risk of electromagnetic interference.

The P-1 also features a large bomb bay and can carry the Harpoon missile for anti-surface warfare.

MARITIME MIGHT RETURNS So far, maritime clashes, mainly on a small scale and without weapons, have been the order of the day. On February 23, 2016, Admiral Harry Harris, head of the U.S. Navy's Pacific Command, reaffirmed to a hearing of the House of Representatives Armed Services Committee, regarding

promises a combined response if either Malaysia or Singapore are the recipients of armed aggression. An interesting comment made by Philip Dunne, the U.K. Minister for Defence Procurement at the Singapore Airshow linked Britain's new Queen Elizabeth aircraft carriers with potential operations in the region, thanks to a newly opened resupply port, HMS Juffair, in Bahrain (a move that mirrors the U.S. Navy's return to the Philippines). This new Gulf strategy would place the Royal Navy in a position where it could better deploy back to Asian waters. "We are re-assessing what role we can play in Southeast Asia," summarized Dunne.

In the meantime, the immediate future for the South and East China Seas is waiting to see how the contest over the region develops.

Whatever happens, it will impact not only the maritime realm but the airspace above it as well.

Proposals for the precursor of the modern jet aircraft engine were first published by Frank Whittle in England and Hans von Ohain in Germany in 1935. In 1941, U.S. military planners knew of Whittle's jet design and approached General Electric (GE) to refine the concept and bring it to production.

Why GE? Whittle's designs depended on turbines. GE knew turbines. It had decades of experience with power generation turbines and first developed the turbocharger for piston aircraft engines used nearly everywhere from 1918 on.

GE put together a group of engineers and technicians charged with the engine development. During wartime, their work was so secretive that they could not even call the plant maintenance department; they had to prepare their own workspaces, right down to using jackhammers to tear out walls when necessary.

The group became known as the "Hush-Hush Boys."

The government provided a working engine that Whittle had made available.

But the engine was built with metric units, and none of GE's tools fit. They had to be hand-ground to new sizes. The team persisted, redesigning parts, simplifying, tightening, and refining.

Within 5 months, they had an engine, the I-A. Principally, they redesigned the compressor, achieving more thrust; improved gas flow allowed longer operation. After another 5 months, they shipped off a working engine to be strapped onto Bell's experimental XP-59 aircraft. On October 2, 1942, the first American-made jet climbed to 6,000 feet.

Twilight The HESA (Iran Aircraft Manufacturing Industrial Company) Shafaq was widely reported as evidence that the Islamic Republic of Iran could develop advanced stealth aircraft, despite being isolated from much of the world's economy. The Shafaq was designed, originally with Russian assistance but then independently, as a subsonic aircraft with a skin of radar-absorbing material to be used for advanced training and attack roles.

A 1/7 scale model of the aircraft was built and wind-tunnel tested as early as 2003. Photographs released around the same time apparently showed that a fullscale prototype or model existed. Drawings of the Shafaq indicated an overall length of about 46 feet with a 39-foot wingspan. Reports stated that it was to be powered by a Klimov RD-33 turbofan, producing a normal thrust of 11,230 footpounds or up to 18,230 foot-pounds with afterburner.

Shafaq is commonly translated as "before the dawn." Aviation International News reports that following the recent lessening of economic sanctions on Iran, the Ministry of Defense is putting together plans for major military aircraft purchases from Russia, apparently setting aside Iran's indigenous development plans. Given that, an alternative translation of Shafaq may be more appropriate: "twilight."

The Sharp Sword The military aviation press has provided much high-profile coverage of the development and testing of China's J-20 stealth jet fighter. However, possibly appropriate to the aircraft's nature, the country's ambitious program to develop unmanned combat air vehicles has largely passed under the radar.

The Pentagon's Annual Report to Congress notes that "the acquisition and development of longer-range UAVs (unmanned aerial vehicles) will increase China's ability to conduct long-range reconnaissance and strike operations." The report points to estimates that China plans to manufacture and deploy $10.5 billion worth (about 42,000 units) of land- and sea-based UAVs between 2014 and 2023. A chief fear is that drones capable of covering the entire South China Sea can destabilize the area with flyovers, or even strikes, of the many disputed areas.

The best-known of the current UCAV (unmanned combat aerial vehicle) developments is the tailless, delta-wing Lijian or "Sharp Sword." Footage of a successful test flight was released in late 2013. Little definite information about the craft has been released, but analysts believe it has a wingspan of 46 feet, a payload of about 4,400 pounds, and a maximum range of about 2,160 nautical miles with a combat range of about 650 nautical miles. The craft is believed to be powered by a Klimov RD-33 turbofan and feature internal weapon bays that can carry at least two precision-guided bombs.

The Lijian has a blended fuselage design for reduced radar cross-section.

While the Chinese describe the craft as "stealth," analysts predict that the claimed stealthiness will be compromised by the big, relatively exposed engine.

Flaming Coffin There is no record of what World War I pilot trainees felt upon learning that their assigned aircraft was widely known as the "flaming coffin." Whatever their reaction, they took the controls of the De Havilland DH-4, bombed important targets, shot down a Zeppelin, and sank a U-boat.

The sturdy biplane entered combat service with the British Royal Flying Corps in 1917. The aircraft was built by Airco and powered by an early, but effective, RollsRoyce engine: the Eagle VII inline, liquid-cooled, piston engine producing 375 horsepower.

The United States entered the war in 1917 with no air force, no aviation industry, and no modern (by 1917 standards) aircraft design. The fledgling U.S. Air Service decided to manufacture the DH-4 to equip American combat fliers. That is where the flaming-coffin reputation came in.

The original design incorporated a pressurized fuel tank that was prone to exploding, even with relatively little, or even no, damage. Also, independently, the fuel lines were susceptible to bursting into flames. The pressure of war sent them into combat anyway, driven by the excellent American Liberty L-12 engine, producing 400 horsepower. The bomber specialization envisioned by the British was expanded, and the plane was armed as a general purpose combat attack fighter and bomber.

The total production run of DH-4s was 4,846. Not all of these were warplanes.

The U.S. Post Office adopted the aircraft for mail delivery in 1918. Beginning that year, U.S. producers substituted a mechanically pumped nonpressurized tank, moved the tank to a safer position, and improved the design of the fuel line.

American airmail was carried by DH-4s as late as 1932.

Asymmetrical Dr. Richard Vogt, chief designer for the aircraft manufacturing subsidiary of Blohm & Voss, seems to have been a little off-center.

In response to a World War II German Air Ministry request for a design for a singleengine reconnaissance aircraft with optimal visual characteristics, Vogt took an unusual approach.

His design, the BV 141, began with a conventional fuselage that smoothly led from the BMW 132N radial engine to a normally configured tail unit. But there was no cockpit in the main fuselage. Instead, the starboard wing carried a teardropshaped crew gondola mounted several feet away from the main body. The gondola was glazed with Perspex and carried the pilot, an observer, and a rearfacing gunner at the back.

This asymmetrical aspect looked lopsided and promised to cause both roll and yaw problems. The roll was accommodated by adjusted wing lift. The yaw, surprisingly, was easily managed with adjustment to trim at normal flight speeds.

Eight evaluation planes were made using the 853-hp 132N engines but were found to be underpowered. A further twelve craft used BMW 801 engines producing 1,539 horsepower, creating a successful aircraft. In the later test planes, Vogt apparently felt that the design was still too symmetrical, and the right half of the horizontal stabilizer was cut back nearly to the body to allow better sight lines for the gunner. In the end, the German government committed to a rival design, and further development was stopped.

MECANEX USA INC

In September 1972, a bulbous-nosed wingless aircraft with a huge, high-speed fan growling in its nose rose and hovered over a German test field. Its creator, Alexander Lippisch, made his name as a brilliant aeronautical designer before and during World War II. In 1931, his Delta I was the world's first tailless delta-wing aircraft to fly. He later perfected designs for rocketpowered craft at Messerschmidt.

After the war, Lippisch moved to the United States. He soon became interested in ground effect and forced air propulsion. This led to the aerodyne, a vertical takeoff-and-landing (VTOL) aircraft that achieved both lift and thrust from a single ducted fan forcing air through two flow channels. The two fuselage openings through which the compressed air exited had flaps to direct flow, providing different levels of thrust and lift.

The Federal German Ministry of Defense undertook prototype testing of the design - intending to possibly create a land- and ship-based reconnaissance aircraft - at Dornier Flugzeugwerke, a noted German aircraft manufacturer. The Dornier Aerodyne test craft used a 3-foot 7-inch fan powered by a 370-shaft-horsepower engine made by MTU in Munich. For all its bulbous appearance, the VTOL weighed only 959 pounds. Successful test flights were conducted from September through November 1972, but the project was dropped to concentrate on helicopters that could serve the same purposes.
