Beechcraft to aid aerospace study
Transporting a disassembled aircraft from Wichita to Lawrence was the problem facing the aerospace engineering department until Beech Aircraft Corporation of Wichita offered one of its vans.
The twin-engine, executive type "Duke" was given to KU by Beech to be used for research funded by a $57,000 grant from NASA.
In sections, and minus engine and propellers, the 30-foot craft was transported Tuesday. It will be stored in a laboratory in Learned Hall.
David L. Kohlman, associate professor and chairman of the aerospace engineering department, said the cockpit and cabin will be used for "fixed-base simulation." Working with Kohlman on the project will be Jan Roskam, associate professor of aerospace engineering.
Kohlman said that through flight simulation he and Roskam will work on basic improvements in light and general aviation aircraft to make them safer, easier to fly, more comfortable and generally better performing.
To create simulation, a computer will transmit the pilot's flight decisions to a television camera. The camera then scans a miniature landscape and airport and projects a picture in front of the pilot. The computer also transmits back to the cockpit instrument readings which would occur in actual flight.
