- W2502792269 abstract "This chapter discusses the design and development of Toucan and other contemporary aircraft machines. The evolution of man-powered aircraft design has become complicated by the fact that progress, even by the professional groups employing experienced aeronautical engineers, has in many instances been slow, and later designs that in current jargon might be described as second or third-generation machines, actually fly before less advanced machines being constructed on a long timescale basis. The design of Toucan, which was the creation of the Hertfordshire Pedal Aeronauts (HPA), was among the serious contenders for the Kremer prize. Of marginally greater wing span than the Weybridge aircraft, the Toucan is characterized by its two seat tandem crew arrangement and a large slab-sided fuselage. The first flights of Toucan were made in December 1972, and the longest flight made to date is 640 meters. The wing span of the aircraft has been subsequently increased to 43.5 meters, and further flights have been carried out, although several culminated in structural failure of one form or another. It is neither desirable nor practicable to continuously update one's design during such extended manufacturing runs to keep abreast of new material developments, although in some cases, a very simple modification might save the odd kilogram using the advantages of, for instance, carbon-fiber reinforced plastic resins." @default.
