The engines of AERO Part II

Monday, May 7th, 2012

Your blogger href="http://www.generalaviationnews.com/2012/04/22/the-engines-of-aero-friedrichshafen/" >briefly mentioned the engines on display at AERO Friedrichshafen 2012 in a previous report on April 22. With Europe’s largest general aviation show now two weeks past, I thought it was time to provide a few more details. With the previous two shows having focused great attention on electric propulsion, AERO organizers wisely chose 2012 to showcase advances in piston and turbine engines, and there was a great deal to see indeed. href="http://www.generalaviationnews.com/2012/05/07/the-engines-of-aero-friedrichshafen-2012-part-ii/">Continue Reading »

The engines of AERO Friedrichshafen

Sunday, April 22nd, 2012

Your blogger is attending the AERO Friedrichshafen show in sunny southern Germany. Among the hundreds of exhibits are many new aircraft engines, some with names like Continental and Lycoming most Americans would recognize, but others that are relatively unknown in the U.S. While a full report will have to wait until next week, one thing is very clear: Europeans have already accepted a lead-free aviation future. href="http://www.generalaviationnews.com/2012/04/22/the-engines-of-aero-friedrichshafen/">Continue Reading »

Should AOPA be at the NY Autoshow?

Wednesday, April 11th, 2012

 Terrafugia’s Cliff Allen reports more than 2,000 people have seen his flying car fold and unfold its wings. He’s finding pilot prospects.

Terrafugia at NY Autoshow

Here is his comment in an e-mail from the show: ” I’m talking with 5 to 10 people PER HOUR, about the Sport Pilot certificate.” 

Some are asking if all small planes fly at 30,000 feet, and if a pilot certificate takes years to complete. He is curing them of such misunderstandings and snapped the phone picture with this posting. The Terrafugia, Allen said, is getting the most press of all the vehicles at the show. Allen added that AOPA needs to attend car shows to attract new pilots to aviation.
