FLIGHT International. 23 April 1964 681 Right, Nora SS.I2 Left, model of North American F-IOO with Rolls-Royce Spey Lower left, Napier Spraymat applied to Dart spinner, showing heater and the finished spinner Lower right, BAC One-Eleven 6Qlbj min cold-air unit by Normalair in a display devoted to "Sierracote" electrically heated transparencies. With the "Sierracote" electrically conductive coating, the trans- parencies are claimed to retain excellent light transmission characteristics while their lami- nated construction ensures a high degree of protection against thermal stress and bird im- pact; a C.I60 plastic windscreen which has successfully passed independent bird impact tests is on show. Among other applications on display are compound-curvature plastic win- dows for the Piaggio PD.808. The "Spraymat" aircraft electrical ice pro- tection system is exhibited with a range of applications demonstrating the system's versa- tility, from primary airframe to component ice protection. A tailplane leading edge section of a Vanguard with "Spraymat" applied is shown, together with component and auxiliary air intake ice protection by "Spraymat" on the Lightning and Buccaneer. An example of a "Spraymat" applied Dart propeller spinner currently in service with airlines in the UK, Europe and the USA is also to be seen. A specially constructed demonstration unit for the new "Sierraglo" electroluminescent lighting system is seen in operation. Already on order for a number of European and UK civil and military aircraft, "Sierraglo" is claimed to represent an important advance in the effective area lighting of all types of instru- ment and switch panels. Alternating current is used to energize the panels which consist of a lightweight thin plastic sandwich construc- tion in which a special type of phosphor is located between two electrical conductors. Among ancillary equipment on show are tnermal controllers specially designed and manufactured by Napier for controlling the .apraymat" and "Sierracote" systems, and ice detectors. «n-^JS"S GeseUschaft i»»>H, Postfach 186,750s Ettlmgen-Baden, West Germany. successor to the famous pre-war aircraft ngme company, Neue Argus now specializes "nose assemblies, couplings and valves of ainL°UJL-types' manufactured to German ^worthiness requirements and interchange- m appropriate cases with US MIL specifi- cation standards. TFE hose made entirely in Germany and designed for temperatures between -55°C and 23O°C will shortly be introduced. Valves include plastics and metal types, mechanically actuated and servo-driven, single-way and multi-way. Nord Aviation, 12 bis Avenue Bosquet, Paris 7e, France. In addition to an N.262 feeder-line transport Nord are showing the CT.20 aerial target and the SS.12 and AS.30 missiles. The N.262, which is powered with two Turbomica Bastan VI turboprops, is capable of rapid conversion from passenger configura- tion to mixed or all-freight operation, or vice versa. An executive version is also planned. Low-pressure tyres make possible operations from semi-prepared strips. Cruising speed at 70 per cent power is 242 m.p.h. and take-off ground run 1,840ft. The CT.20 is a command-guided, ramp- launched target, propelled by a Turbomeca Marbore turbojet. It is recovered by parachute and is used for the development of guided missiles. The SS.12 is a wire-guided, auto-rotating missile, designed for the attack of surface targets (an air-to-surface version is designated AS.12). The missile has four cross-mounted detachable wings and propulsion is by means of a two-stage booster-sustainer powder rocket. The AS.30 is a supersonic radio-command- guided missile for the attack of surface targets. Propulsion for acceleration and sustained flight is by means of a two-stage powder rocket. Length is 12.42ft. Normalair Ltd, Yeovil, Somerset, England. The theme of the Normalair dispay stand illustrates the company's ability to design, develop and manufacture aircraft environ- mental control systems as complete and inte- grated installations. Special prominence is given to the integrated pressurization and air conditioning systems being supplied for the Transall C.I60. Prominent among the com- ponents which form a part of these systems, are the fully automatic, engine-driven, two-speed cabin air compressors which provide the neces- sary air supply at all altitudes and under all operating conditions. These units have been developed especially for this application and two are installed in each aircraft. Normalair is supplying complete pressuriza- tion, air conditioning and oxygen breathing systems for the H.F.B. 320 Hansa executive aircraft. These systems have been developed specifically for aircraft of the executive class, and are suitable for machines with a carrying capacity of up to 20 persons and a cruising, altitude and speed of approximately 30,000ft and 0.6 Mach respectively. The BAC One-Eleven air conditioning; and pressurization systems are claimed to form "the most advanced cabin atmosphere control installation currently available for short-range jet passenger aircraft." Pressure control is achieved by means of an electro-pneumatic system, which is a development of the Normal- air system used in the Vickers VC10 and the air conditioning installation incorporates air cycle cooling equipment and fully automatic, electronic temperature control. The electro-pneumatic pressure control system was first developed for installation in the VC10. In addition to these complete systems the following equipment is on show: portable vapour cycle cooling equipment for ground conditioning of small aircraft; range of cooling turbines of lOlb/min to 1251b/min capacities; range of liquid oxygen converters; range of reciprocating and centrifugal refrigerant com- pressors; seat-mounted oxygen system for high-performance military aircraft. North American Aviation, Inc, 1700 East Imperial Highway, El Segundo, Calif, USA. The display by North American is charac- teristic of the company's present-day diversi- fication. Items cover a broad sweep from missiles and advanced aircraft to space engines and microelectronic computers. The firm's Space & Information Systems Division (S&ID) shows a 7-ft scale model of the Saturn V space booster, the second stage of which is produced by North American. Saturn V is the vehicle that will carry to the
