TEST PILOT ANSWERS
from page 34

1. World War II. An inexpensive twinengine drone manufactured by
Interstate Aircraft and carrying a
2,000-pound bomb was flown into a
Japanese anti-aircraft battery near
Bougainville on September 27, 1944.
The TDR-1 had an RCA television camera in its nose and was guided by a
pilot in a Grumman Avenger.
2. A. The automobile was called the
Beech Plainsman and featured an
air-cooled engine. The project was
abandoned in 1946 when it became
apparent that the development of new
aircraft models-including the Model 35
Bonanza-would require all of Beech's
available talent.
3. It was the same Ercoupe. Eleven days
later the propeller was removed and six
JATO bottles attached under the wings
thrust the airplane and its pilot, Army
Capt. Homer Boushey, into the air from
March Field, California, for a short but
memorable flight.
4. 187.5 knots, irrespective of the distance between points A and B. To verify
that this is so, determine the out and
return times required to fly any arbitrarily
selected distance. Then use the total time
required to make the round trip to determine average groundspeed. It's a simple
time-speed-distance problem.

Aviation destinations
There's a lot to see out there
CRISTA VIDERIKSEN WORTHY has been flying around the United States with her pilothusband Fred and their children since 1995, and writing about fun places to fly since
2006. So AOPA enlisted her aid in writing about some of her flying adventures and the
result is a gold mine of aviation destinations, now published on AOPA online.
Worthy has gathered information on the top aviation museums across the country,
categorizing them by region. She has written about an amazing variety of destinations-
from the Oregon Coast to the Chesapeake Bay; from the aviation boneyards in Arizona
to the entertainment capital of Branson, Missouri; and from California's Morro Bay to
Montana's Great Falls.
She says her favorite places to explore are the backcountry strips of Idaho and Utah's
red rock country, but the volume of aviation trips she chronicles will astound you. Worthy
lives in Idaho and serves as both the managing editor of Pilot Getaways magazine and
editor of The Flyline, the monthly publication of the Idaho Aviation Association.

5. The term was coined by Charles
Willard (one of Glenn Curtiss' first flying students) in 1910 when he returned
from a flight saying, "The air was as full
of air pockets as Swiss cheese is full of
holes."
6. The rocket-powered Messerschmitt
Me 163B-1a Komet had a maximum
speed in level flight of 596 mph, an
initial climb rate of 9,800 fpm, and an
endurance of 7.5 minutes. More than
350 were produced.
7. D. An around-pylon can be conducted at any altitude; however, the pivotal
altitude of an on-pylon depends on
groundspeed.
8. 37 degrees north. Latitude is equal
to the altitude (angular elevation) of
Polaris above the horizon. When the
observer is at the North Pole (90
degrees north latitude), Polaris is
directly overhead (90 degrees above
the horizon), and when at the Equator
(zero degrees latitude), Polaris is on the
horizon (zero degrees of elevation).
