  1. Airmanship 2 Aircraft Recognition Leading Cadet Training Lecture 1

  2. Aircraft Naming and Designations Aircraft Recognition

  3. Why name aircraft? • Identify different aircraft types • Identify different roles • Identify different equipment • Quick reference to complex systems Aircraft Recognition

  4. Reporting Name “Role” Training Upgrade to correct fuel issues “Mark” 1stversion • How it works... Aircraft Recognition Typhoon T 1 A

  5. How it works... • The differences between various marks • may be quite extensive and obvious, • e.g. the two seat training Typhoon T1A • and the single seat fighter Typhoon F2. • At other times the differences may be very • minor and hardly noticeable. Aircraft Recognition

  11. The Avro Lancaster is possibly the most famous of the British wartime bombers. The first Lancaster flew in January 1941. Altogether, 7,377 Lancasters were built, with a peak of 293 made in one month, August 1944. Famous operational changes to the Lancaster included structural alterations to accommodate the massive 9,979kg Grand Slam bomb, and the Barnes Wallis “bouncing” bomb as used by No 617 “Dambusters” Squadron Lancaster B1 BBMF

  12. Reporting NameSpitfire • ROLE BBMF Historic Fighter WINGSPAN 11.2 m. LENGTH 9.1 m. CREW 1 SPEED 378 kts (700 km/h) at sea level ENGINES 1 Rolls-Royce Merlin Piston Engine Spitfire BBMF

  13. The Supermarine Spitfire was a development of a famous Schneider trophy racing aircraft designed by R.J. Mitchell. It was vital to the defence of the United Kingdom, and ultimately victory, in the Second World War. It is a tribute to R.J. Mitchell’s design, that over 22,000 Spitfires were produced in 36 separate Marks. Distinctive because of the elliptical shaped wing and the roar from the powerful piston engine. Spitfire BBMF

  15. The Hawker Hurricane predates the Spitfire by some two years, being designed in 1934, by Sydney Camm who later designed the Hunter and Harrier aircraft. • It was the first monoplane fighter in RAF service and also the first to exceed 260 kts (482 km/h) in level flight. • Although not quite as well known as the Spitfire, the Hurricane contributed more to the Battle of Britain, by destroying a greater number of enemy aircraft. • This was due to its better turning performance, and its more rugged and damage-tolerant construction.

  17. The most famous American-built transport aircraft ever built. Nearly 13,000 where made by the Douglas Corporation since 1935. Several hundreds are still flying and working today. Renowned for its rugged construction, Dakotas have transported passengers and freight around the world. The fin and rudder appear large and the tail wheel juts out below the fin. On the ground the nose sits high in the air, on the balloon tyres of the retractable under- carriage. Another good feature is the rectangular window shape. Dakota DC3 BBMF
