de Havilland DH.60 Moth – 사진 및 비디오

Tthe 드 하빌랜드 DH.60 나방 is a 1920s British two-seat touring and training aircraft that was developed into a series of aircraft by the de Havilland Aircraft Company. The DH.60 was developed from the larger DH.51 biplane. The first flight of the Cirrus powered prototype DH.60 Moth (registration G-EBKT) was carried out by Geoffrey de Havilland at the works airfield at Stag Lane on 22 February 1925. The Moth was a two-seat biplane of wooden construction, it had a plywood covered fuselage and fabric covered surfaces, a standard tailplane with a single tailplane and fin. A useful feature of the design was its folding wings which allowed owners to hangar the aircraft in much smaller spaces. The then Secretary of State for Air Sir Samuel Hoare became interested in the aircraft and the Air Ministry subsidised five flying clubs and equipped them with Moths.

Tthe 드 하빌랜드 DH.60 나방 is a two-seat biplane that was designed and built by the British aircraft manufacturer de Havilland in the 1920s. It was one of the most popular and successful light aircraft of its era, and was used for various purposes such as training, touring, sport flying, and military service. The Moth was based on the earlier de Havilland DH.51, but featured a smaller and lighter airframe, a more powerful engine, and a folding wing mechanism that allowed it to be stored in a standard garage. The Moth was also the first aircraft to use the de Havilland Gipsy engine, a reliable and economical inverted inline four-cylinder engine that became the standard powerplant for many de Havilland designs. The Moth was produced in several variants, such as the DH.60G Gipsy Moth, the DH.60M Metal Moth, the DH.60T Moth Trainer, and the DH.60X Moth Major.
나방은 많은 국가에 수출되었으며 왕립 공군, 캐나다 왕립 공군 및 미 육군 항공대를 포함한 다양한 민간 및 군사 조직에서 운영했습니다. 나방은 또한 1930 년 영국에서 호주로 집시 나방을 단독으로 비행 한 에이미 존슨 (Amy Johnson)과 1928 년 최초의 태즈 먼 횡단 비행을 위해 집시 나방을 사용한 찰스 킹스 포드 스미스 (Charles Kingsford Smith)와 같은 많은 유명한 비행사들에 의해 비행되었습니다. 나방은 다양한 조건과 환경에서 잘 작동할 수 있는 다재다능하고 내구성 있는 항공기였습니다. 취급 용이성, 안정성 및 성능으로 찬사를 받았으며 많은 조종사가 비행의 즐거움으로 여겼습니다. 나방은 또한 비행을 취미와 스포츠로 대중화하는 데 도움이 되었고 다른 많은 경비행기 설계에 영감을 주었기 때문에 항공 발전에 영향을 미쳤습니다. 나방은 1933년까지 생산되었으며 de Havilland DH.82 Tiger Moth로 대체되었습니다. 그러나 많은 나방은 그 후 수십 년 동안 계속 사용되었으며 일부는 오늘날에도 여전히 소중한 빈티지 항공기로 비행하고 있습니다.
