TCF study #15
 

  • See Wenham for early structures in 1800s.

  • TCF join to keel or other airframe parts

  • Staying TCF by cable (noticed strongly in Breslau gliding club in 1908); this is the most used method.

  • Staying TCF by rods

  • Staying the TCF by struts

  • Legs, downtubes, uptubes, sides, down tubes, up tubes,

  • Basebar

  • John Worth demonstrate the A-frame clearly in holding payload in stardard Rogallo hang glider.

  • James Hobson clearly had A-frame in hang glider.

  • Phony claim of invention was later made by JD-GH. 

  • ADEYTO & World's smallest "One-Man Helicopter" GEN-H4    Echo of the early TCF of Bensen gyrocopter.  Timeline full helicopter and gyrocopter histories for control.

  • Notice the TCF with tensional basebar and rigid downtubes: PH - Personal Helicopter     Austria, 2007. Co-axial ..  Two counter-rotating propellers on same axial.
    CONSIDER:  I am wanting the mass of the driving engine or motor to be low with the pilot, perhaps pilot's seat space; drive the rotors from that distance; what would be the difference?

  • Sub-basebar structures

  • TCF in demonstration rigs

  • Consider leg-angle-area shoe or boot that has a catch for hanging from a basebar upside down.

  • Consider thoracic shell with cushion; shell would hold the shape of the body during crash-splat.  Is this a safe-splat option? [[Note image.]]

  • TCF in practice rigs

  • TCF as face of tetrahedral practice rig.

  • TCF as face of tetrahedral practice rig that has motion of TCF guiding wheels of rig, perhaps as a cart that rolls down hills.

  • TCF hung from trees.

  • TCF hung from single slanted pole, which pole is cable stayed to sand anchors.  Perhaps put a high hat that will give some pressures on the TCF. Practice light touch of TCF uprights and basebar; hang for long sessions to get practice at the relaxation and of the balling knees up without overcontrolling the TCF parts.

  • TCF as near-universal aircraft control (partial or full control; e.g. control position of landing and launching wheels, position of added motor. ) rig since 1800s.

  • TCF

  • Wheels

  • Handling TCF at launch

  • Handling TCF at landing

  • Handling TCF during flight

  • Products related to TCF

  • Surfacing of the TCF parts

  • Using the interior of the TCF parts

  • VG lines and TCF

  • Aerodynamic controls and TCF

  • Sizes

  • Fuel contained in TCF legs

  • Variable geometry control lines in the TCF parts

  •  

  • Materials

  • Monkey flying

  • Extra lines considered

  • Instrument base (on, in, on surface)

  • Fuel-holding in TCF

  • Battery-holding in TCF interior

  • TCF poetic space

  • Memory post

  • No-more-whacking and the TCF

  • Patents involving the TCF

  • TCF in trikes

  • TCF in microlights

  • TCF in Bensen

  • TCF in Spratt

  • TCF in powered aircraft

  • TCF in itself

  • TCF in X-winging

  • TCF in Tet-winging

  • TCF in Paramontante

  • TCF embedded in multiplanes

  • Undercarriage TCF

  • Gliding to Freedom by Brian Milton    Note the truncated A-frame photo. :: New Scientist article  Page 728 in New Scientist, 23/30 December 1976.
