Gmail Upgrade Hits Android Market, brings the user interface improvements and Priority inbox
When we were in Baltimore for Phandroid Live admin AndroidForums.com Dave(otherwise affectionately known as Shivers316 ) can not contain his excitement when he heard that Gmail was published in the Android Market, and ready for download. Shortly after I laughed at him for not having a device running Android 2.2, I downloaded the upgrade, and exclusivity Froyo takes things a step further in the user interface. Things are almost like a flying header before getting a bit of a visual inspection of repairs. Nothing groundbreaking, but it looks nice.
will also receive a limited support a new priority function Gmail inbox, but they set them on the desktop version of Gmail, not otherwise will be seen that all important Important label. It also drives home the fact that Google wants to further separate applications from the system, any improvement of Gmail would otherwise have to come from system updates that users may find yourself waiting forever, depending on the carrier and the manufacturer(Sony Ericsson user feel the pain .) If youre on a device running Android 2.2, you must scan the QR code below updated Gmail, or find yourself by searching the market with Android.

Intel’s Next-Generation Notebook Cpus, Announced At The Consumer Electronics Show In Las Vegas, Are So Powerful They Can Compress The Contents Of
The Samsung R466-DS09 laptop’s glossy material appears elegant. The frosted metallic surface texture and silver palmrest are very good, like piano paint materials. The whole laptop gives a delicate texture feeling, with Samsung’s LOGO in a decorative mirror, making the laptop even more genuinely dignified.
To see if the Core i7 family lives up to its billing, I gathered three new notebooks for a high-performance shootout: Fujitsu’s LifeBook E780, Hewlett-Packard(HP DV2000 Battery)’s EliteBook 8540w and Lenovo’s ThinkPad W510.
That may soon change. Intel’s next-generation notebook CPUs, announced at the consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, are so powerful they can compress the contents of a PC display on the fly and stream it wirelessly to a soon-to-be-introduced Netgear set-top box, the Push2TV (PVT 1000), that you’ll connect to your set via HDMI or component cables.
IBM and Lenovo, a Chinese-owned company that bought the brand in 2005, have at times been bold with the ThinkPad’s engineering. For instance, in 2008, Lenovo(ThinkPad X61 battery) launched a very thin but full-width line, the X300 series, which uses cutting-edge materials and goes to head-to-head with Apple’s ultrathin MacBook Air.
The bag makes no pretensions to being stylish. Mostly big: 13x19x14 inches (HWD) and 6.5 pounds. It’s a ballistic nylon brick on steroids. Square corners are the order of the day and the one color is, of course, black. Pull back the overhanging rain flap, unzip the top, then lift out the freestanding laptop sleeve that’s at the top of the bag. In the inside front half are three vertical dividers designed to hold virtually any lens up to a 300mm f/2.8 lens that’s about 10 inches long and 5 inches diameter, or a camera with most any lens smaller than that. In the back half are six divider pockets that can hold one big lens or flash per section, or with a horizontal divider in place, two medium lenses per divider. Because of its size, you don’t have to squeeze your gear into place.
Assuming Apple(Apple A1189 Battery) doesn’t immediately reduce the price of this puppy, I’ll go with the published prices. For a video product you need at least 32GB of memory. Since you can’t add 3G after purchase – and I expect most people will want that feature – that brings the initial price to $729. The folks I know that have tried it also say you absolutely want the keyboard for $69, the case for $39 so you don’t crack the screen, the dock for $29, and the camera adapter for an estimated $19. That gives you a total working budget of $885 for the device and all its accessories.
At first blush, the feature set is appealing. The system includes a Core i5 430M CPU with a base clock speed of 2.26GHz, plus 4GB of DDR3 memory. Housed in a sleek, relatively thin blue plastic chassis, the laptop comes with Windows 7 Home Premium, a built-in Webcam, and 802.11n wireless networking.
That makes the $349 Dell iM1012-687OBK the least expensive of the three versions of this system we’ve seen this year. At the same time, you can configure a similar system, with the same Intel Atom N450 CPU and 160GB hard drive, plus upgrade to 802.11n Wi-Fi, for $299 through Dell(Inspiron 6400 battery)’s online configurator. Though it’s hard to recommend paying more, retail laptops have the distinct advantage of instant gratification, and the $50 may be worth it if you need a system right away and can’t wait for one to ship (order that $299 configuration from Dell’s Web site today, and the estimated shipping date is 10 days from now).
At first blush, the feature set is appealing. The system includes a Core i5 430M CPU with a base clock speed of 2.26GHz, plus 4GB of DDR3 memory. Housed in a sleek, relatively thin blue plastic chassis, the laptop comes with Windows 7 Home Premium, a built-in Webcam, and 802.11n wireless networking.
In fact, aside from Asus and Apple(Apple A1175 Battery) who seem to be the closest to their claims (in my admittedly completely unscientific opinion), it seems just about everyone else is fudging the numbers to stand out in a competitive field.
The Archos 13 A13PS is based around the same 13.3-inch as its predecessor but it’s not clear at this stage whether it will come with the same 1280 x 800-pixel resolution or whether Archos will update it to a 16:9 aspect ratio panel with 1366 x 768 pixel resolution. With a super-slim body, the 1,5kg chassis is the ideal size for life on the move. What’s more, with a 10-cell battery you’ll find an eight hour 255-3S4400-F1P1 battery life easy to achieve.
The Zero Charger is in fact a USB charger, so it’s good for iPods and other devices, too. It should really come with every one of AT&T’s cellphones, but it appears that you’ll have to buy one (big surprise. Thanks AT&T). Given that anyone savvy enough to buy the Zero Charger is also likely to already unplug their chargers, it seems more like a rather pointless PR exercise.
Witness the Acer Aspire 5538G. On the surface, it is hardly noteworthy. 4 GB of RAM, 320-GB hard drive and a modest ATI Radeon HD 4330 graphics card, and powered by a 1.2-GHz Athlon X2 L310. The 15.6-inch LCD offers a minimum-standard 1366 x 768-pixel resolution with somewhat below-average brightness. It’s a touch above average weight (5.3 pounds) but below average in Aspire One battery run time (2 1/4 hours). Performance clocks in at the level of the cheapest Intel-based machines in this class, but within the realm of acceptability. If nothing else, having the discrete graphics card is a nice touch that at least makes gaming a possibility, albeit a bumpy one.

Learn Digital Photography Pentax Digital Camera Review
Pentax Digital Cameras – the words echo in the mind, when we hear this name. Pentax has always been our one of the premier choices when it comes to buying cameras, or for that matter, digital cameras. In this digital era, Pentax has made its presence felt all over the world.

The Optio Digital Cameras are perfectly suited for novice camera users and photo enthusiasts. The various cameras under these categories are very easy-to-use and some of them are highly sophisticated and advanced. These cameras provide many user-friendly features and many image-enhancing options as well. The usages of these cameras elevate the experience of real time photography. Let us study some of the specification these cameras offer us.
These cameras are available in a range of 2.0-6.0 megapixels resolutions. These cameras have a 1/ 2.5 inch interline transfer CCD. The LCD monitor is a TFT 1.8 inch color screen with 100% LCD resolution and a resolution of about 130,000 pixels.

The computer system requirements of the system for data transfer through these cameras are a standard USB port, Windows 2000, XP, Me, 98, 98SE.
The other category of Pentax Digital Cameras is known as Pentax *ist. This category marked the second entry of the company into the market of digital SLR consumers. These cameras are available as 6.1 megapixels resolutions, an APS format sensor and 2.5 inch LCD display with 210,000 pixels resolutions.

Brother 110
In Bible versus Quran: seven brothers married the same sole wife
The Sons of the Lord God in Bible versus Quran (12)
This is the 12th article of the series:” The Sons of the Lord God in Bible versus Quran”.
In the Bible, the Lord Jesus said: for they cannot even die anymore, because they are like angels, and are sons of God, being sons of the resurrection. And the Lord is not a God of dead men, but of living, for all live to Him; He is not the God of the dead, but of the living, for to him all are alive
In the Quran, Allah, the Almighty Creator has no son, no children and no partner. Also, the sons of the resurrection are not either the sons of God nor they are like the angels. The Angels are created from pure clear, plain, splendid and noble light. In addition, Allah is the God of the living and the dead and He is the God of everything.
Also, the Quran says that it is an unforgivable sin when you say or believe that the Almighty Creator has a son or sons; this major sin will lead to the Eternal Fire in the Hereafter.
—————————————————————————————–
The Sons of the Lord God in the Bible (12)
Some of the Sadducees, who deny and say that there is any resurrection, came to the Lord Jesus with a question. The Sadducees said to the Lord Jesus, “Moses wrote for us that if a man’s brother dies and leaves a wife but no children, the man must take (marry) the widow and have children for his brother. Now there were seven brothers; and the first took a wife and died childless; and the second took her to wife, and he died childless; and then the third married her, and in the same way the seven died, leaving no children. Finally, the woman died too. Now then, at the resurrection therefore, which one’s wife will she be? since the seven brothers were married to her?”
the Lord Jesus said to the Sadducees, who deny the resurrection, “The sons of this age marry and are given in marriage, for they cannot even die anymore, because they are like angels, and are sons of God, being sons of the resurrection; and He is not a God of dead men, but of living, for all live to Him; He is not the God of the dead, but of the living, for to him all are alive.
Now, there are some questions:
How come that a single women marry seven brothers? What if she does not like of them? Was she an inheritance without having any decision about her special life?
How come that the Angels are like the sons of the resurrection although the physical features of both are very different?
If God is only the God of the livings, then who is the God of the dead?
——————————————–
Luke 20:27-40 in four different versions of the Bible:
New International Version
27Some of the Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection, came to Jesus with a question.
28″Teacher,” they said, “Moses wrote for us that if a man’s brother dies and leaves a wife but no children, the man must marry the widow and have children for his brother.
29Now there were seven brothers. The first one married a woman and died childless. 30The second
31and then the third married her, and in the same way the seven died, leaving no children.
32Finally, the woman died too.
33Now then, at the resurrection whose wife will she be, since the seven were married to her?”
34Jesus replied, “The people of this age marry and are given in marriage.
35But those who are considered worthy of taking part in that age and in the resurrection from the dead will neither marry nor be given in marriage,
36and they can no longer die; for they are like the angels. They are God’s children, since they are children of the resurrection.
37But in the account of the bush, even Moses showed that the dead rise, for he calls the Lord ‘the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.’
38He is not the God of the dead, but of the living, for to him all are alive.”
39Some of the teachers of the law responded, “Well said, teacher!”
40And no one dared to ask him any more questions.
New American Standard Bible
27Now there came to Him some of the Sadducees (who say that there is no resurrection),
28and they questioned Him, saying, “Teacher, Moses wrote for us that IF A MAN’S BROTHER DIES, having a wife, AND HE IS CHILDLESS, HIS BROTHER SHOULD MARRY THE WIFE AND RAISE UP CHILDREN TO HIS BROTHER.
29″Now there were seven brothers; and the first took a wife and died childless;
30and the second
31and the third married her; and in the same way all seven died, leaving no children.
32″Finally the woman died also.
33″In the resurrection therefore, which one’s wife will she be? For all seven had married her.”
34Jesus said to them, “The sons of this age marry and are given in marriage,
35but those who are considered worthy to attain to that age and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry nor are given in marriage;
36for they cannot even die anymore, because they are like angels, and are sons of God, being sons of the resurrection.
37″But that the dead are raised, even Moses showed, in the passage about the burning bush, where he calls the Lord THE GOD OF ABRAHAM, AND THE GOD OF ISAAC, AND THE GOD OF JACOB.
38″Now He is not the God of the dead but of the living; for all live to Him.”
39Some of the scribes answered and said, “Teacher, You have spoken well.”
40For they did not have courage to question Him any longer about anything.
English Standard Version
27There came to him some Sadducees, those who deny that there is a resurrection, 28and they asked him a question, saying, “Teacher, Moses wrote for us that if a man’s brother dies, having a wife but no children, the man must take the widow and raise up offspring for his brother.
29Now there were seven brothers. The first took a wife, and died without children. 30And the second
31and the third took her, and likewise all seven left no children and died.
32Afterward the woman also died.
33In the resurrection, therefore, whose wife will the woman be? For the seven had her as wife.”
34And Jesus said to them, “The sons of this age marry and are given in marriage, 35but those who are considered worthy to attain to that age and to the resurrection from the dead neither marry nor are given in marriage,
36for they cannot die anymore, because they are equal to angels and are sons of God, being sons of the resurrection.
37But that the dead are raised, even Moses showed, in the passage about the bush, where he calls the Lord the God of Abraham and the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob.
38Now he is not God of the dead, but of the living, for all live to him.”
39Then some of the scribes answered, “Teacher, you have spoken well.” 40For they no longer dared to ask him any question.

The Sons of the Lord God in the Quran (12)
On the other hand, the Quran makes it very clear and says that Allah, the Almighty Creator, has neither a son nor a partner.
The Quran decisively forbids saying that Allah has a son.
It is not befitting for the Majesty of Allah to take to Himself a son.
Allah has not taken any son either from the Children of Adam or from the angels.
if there were a god along with Allah, each god would have taken away what he created, he would have made it exclusively his and prevented the other [god] from having any mastery over it; and some of them would surely rise up against others, in challenge, just as the kings of this world are wont to do.
Allah is the Knower of the Unseen and the visible, what is hidden and what is observed. And exalted, magnified, be He above what they associate!, with Him of son or partners. Allah is far transcendent above all that they ascribe unto Him!
In Islam, this point is very important faith wise.
- Again, it is unforgivable sin to say or to believe that the One Almighty Creator [who is Allah or God or the Lord or Jehovah or whatever name(s) you are giving Him] has a son or Sons.
From the Islamic point of view, the conclusion of this essential topic that may establish or destroy the faith is that:
Any one who believe that the Almighty Creator has a son or Sons; he messes his faith up and is considered as a disbeliever and in the afterlife he will end up as an eternal inhabitant of the hell.
Any one who believes that the Almighty Creator has neither a son nor a partner he has a good faith and is considered as a believer and in the afterlife he will end up as an eternal inhabitant of the paradise.
Verses 17:110-111 make the topic of the son(s) of God clear.

The meanings of verses 17:110-111
The meaning of verse 17:110
The Prophet Muhammad would often say, ‘O Allah, O Compassionate One’.
So the disbelievers said, ‘He [Muhammad] forbids us to worship more than one god, and yet he calls upon another [god] together with Him [God]’.
The verse was then revealed:
Say, to them: ‘Invoke Allah or invoke the Compassionate One, that is to say, invoke Him by either of these [Names] or call upon Him by saying, ‘O God! O Compassionate One!’, whichever of these two [Names], you invoke, is beautiful to Him, to the One called by these two [Names], belong the Most Beautiful and Perfect Names’, these two [Names] being from among them.; and they [the other Names] are [the following] as [mentioned] in Hadith:
Allah, there is no god except Him, the Compassionate, the Merciful, the King, the Holy, the Peace, the Securer, the Controller, the Mighty, the Compeller, the Sublime, the Creator, the Maker [out of nothing], the Fashioner, the [ever] Forgiving, the Almighty, the Bestower, the Provider, the Deliverer, the Knower, the Seizer, the Extender, the Lowerer, the Raiser, the Glorifier, the Abaser, the Hearer, the Seer, the Arbiter, the Just, the Subtle, the Aware, the Forbearing, the Tremendous, the Forgiver, the Thankful, the High, the Great, the Preserver, the Conserver, the Reckoner, the Majestic, the Generous, the Watcher, the Responsive, the Embracing, the Wise, the Loving, the Glorious, the Resurrector, the Witnessing, the Truth, the Guardian, the Strong, the Firm, the Patron, the Praiseworthy, the Numberer, the Initiator, the Restorer, the Life-giver, the Death-maker, the Living, the Eternal Sustainer, the Originator, the Magnificent, the One, the Single, the Everlasting Refuge, the Powerful, the Omnipotent, the Advancer, the Deferrer, the First, the Last, the Outward, the Inward, the Ruler, Exalted, the Benign, the Relenting, the Avenger, the Pardoning, the Gentle, Master of the Kingdom, One of Majesty and Munificence, the Equitable, the Gatherer, the Independent, the Availing, the Restrainer, the Harming, the Benefactor, the Light, the Guiding, the Innovator, the Enduring, the Inheritor, the Reasonable, the Patient.
The meaning of verse 17:111
And say:
Praise be to Allah, Who has neither taken a son, nor has He any partner in sovereignty, in divineness, nor has He taken any ally, to assist Him, out of, because of any, weakness, That is to say, He would never become weak and thus need an assistant.
And magnify Him with the magnifications worthy of Him; extol Him with a perfect extolling above that He should have taken a son or a partner, and above any weakness and above all that does not befit Him.
He is the One worthy of all praise, because of the perfection of His Essence and the fact that He alones possesses those attributes (and Names) of His.

Verses 17:110-111 of the Noble Quran in four different translations:
Verse 17:110
QARIB: say: ‘call upon Allah, or call upon the merciful; whichever (name) you call upon, to him belong the most beautiful names. ‘ pray neither loudly nor to quietly, rather, seek a middle course between them.
SHAKIR: say: call upon Allah or call upon, the beneficent Allah; whichever you call upon, he has the best names; and do not utter your prayer with a very raised voice nor be silent with regard to it, and seek a way between these
PICKTHAL: say (unto mankind): cry unto Allah, or cry unto the beneficent, unto whichsoever ye cry (it is the same). his are the most beautiful names. and thou (Muhammad), be not loud-voiced in thy worship nor yet silent therein, but follow a way between.
YUSUFALI: say: “call upon Allah, or call upon rahman: by whatever name ye call upon him, (it is well): for to him belong the most beautiful names. neither speak thy prayer aloud, nor speak it in a low tone, but seek a middle course between.”
Verse 17:111
QARIB: say: ‘praise be to Allah who has not taken a son; who has no associate in the kingdom; nor out of humility any guardian. ‘ and exalt him repeatedly with exaltations.
SHAKIR: and say: (all) praise is due to Allah, who has not taken a son and who has not a partner in the kingdom, and who has not a helper to save him from disgrace; and proclaim his greatness magnifying (him)
PICKTHAL: and say: praise be to Allah, who hath not taken unto himself a son, and who hath no partner in the sovereignty, nor hath he any protecting friend through dependence. and magnify him with all magnificence.
YUSUFALI: say: “praise be to Allah, who begets no son, and has no partner in (his) dominion: nor (needs) he any to protect him from humiliation: yea, magnify him for his greatness and glory!”

My brother is 11 years old and feet tall and weighs 110 pounds should i be worried about his weight?
I am and adult and wealthy and im not sure if i should be worried
he is 5 feet tall
you didn’t say how tall he actually is but would watch what he eats,if he eating a lot of junk food I would worry,if he is not in sports worry, calories add up on the younger people who are inactive.

The Curtiss Model D “Pusher”
Initial inspection of the Curtiss Model D aircraft at Old Rhinebeck Aerodrome reveals a biplane, deviating from the other flying pioneer designs in the collection, the Bleriot XI and the Hanriot, which sport single wings and are therefore considered “monoplanes.” Yet, the Model D’s unique features do not end there. Indeed, there is neither an open nor an enclosed fuselage, but, instead, an almost box kite-resembling assembly of bamboo, beams, and booms; a horizontal, deflecting surface extending in front of the pilot, reminiscent of a canard; a seat, with a shoulder high, half-circle brace which appears more like something one would wear than sit in; an aft-facing propeller, mounted behind it, which seems as if it could not be definitively determined which end had constituted the “front;” small, horizontal surfaces, located midway and behind, the two wings, leaving one to temporarily wonder if this were a triplane; a tailwheel, prevalent on early-century airplanes, replaced by a nose wheel and resulting in a tricycle configuration; and a small arresting hook below hinting at carrier-based naval aviation. These features, extensions of the ground-based transportation technology from which they had been derived, comprise geometrically-arranged design solutions to aerodynamic flight, and are innovations and expressions of the man who had conceptualized them all, Glenn Hammond Curtiss.
Born on May 21, 1878 in Hammondsport, New York, Curtiss, whose middle name had been given in honor of the city’s founding father, had, as a schoolboy, always been interested in mathematics and mechanics and had forged a life path which had closely paralleled that of the contemporary Wright Brothers. That path would ultimately lead to a mirror-cracking, nine-year lawsuit between the two.
Although his formal education had ended after the eighth grade, he had nevertheless had a penchant and passion for technical matters and, buoyed by this inspiration, had been entirely self-taught. Opening, like the Wrights, a local bicycle shop in the wine-cultivating, Finger Lakes region of New York State, he had first repaired them before designing and selling them, establishing, unknown to him at the time, a foundation upon which his interests and abilities would ultimately elevate him as high as the sky, by means of intermittently designed motorized bicycles, or “motorcycles,” light-weight engines, and the airplanes those engines would propel.
A national bicycle champion at 20, and the first person to be issued a US pilot’s license, he was a founding member of the Aerial Experiment Association (AEA) with the likes of Alexander Graham Bell, and won the Scientific American trophy by flying the first aircraft, the bow-winged June Bug biplane, for one kilometer on July 4, 1908. Although the event had lagged the Wright Flyer triumph at Kitty Hawk, North Carolina, by four-and-a-half years, it had been the first to be publicly demonstrated and verified.
But it had been only the first of many record-breaking flights and feats, none of which, like those of the competing Wright Brothers, had been performed in secrecy. Indeed, with the Rheims Racer, a development of the June Bug, Curtiss had been able to win the speed prize by flying at 52.63 mph in the Grande Semaine d’Aviation de la Champagne, in Rheims, France, competing against such names as Latham, Farman, Bleriot, and Comte de Lambert, and even beating Bleriot in his native country by six seconds and garnering the Gordon-Bennett Trophy
In the United States, Curtiss had subsequently won the $10,000 Hudson-Fulton Prize by piloting his Albany Flyer from Albany to Manhattan, and his NC-4 design, intended for the Navy, had made the first transatlantic crossing to the Azores in 1919, some eight years before Charles Lindbergh had flown the more northerly route to Paris. Acquisition and restoration of Samuel Pierpont Langley’s ill-fated Aerodrome had even enabled him to successfully fly that design, thus validating its merits.
Curtiss, whose nationally-renowned Curtiss Aeroplane Company, the largest during World War I with two plants and more than 100 employees, had succeeded in making numerous, fundamentally important innovations and creating aeronautical designs during the early 20th century, and had, according to Augustus Post, Secretary of the former Aero Club, “worked his way up from the making of bicycles to the making of history.”
The Curtiss Model D embodied all this experience. Most closely based upon the Rheims Racer of 1909, which itself had incorporated several Aerial Experiment Association design characteristics, it had significantly deviated from other concurrent aircraft. The Rheims Racer itself, having evolved into the larger design which had flown between Albany and New York and the ultimate Model D, had featured two identical, directly superimposed, cambered airfoil surfaces constructed of Baldwin rubber silk tacked to spruce ribs and laced to the frame, and mounted five feet apart, forming its biplane configuration.
Power, formerly provided by four-cylinder, air-cooled, 25-hp, vertical engines, which themselves had been little more than adaptations of automobile types, had later been replaced by the more capable V-arrangement, doubling the number of cylinders to eight and horsepower production to 50. Because of its continuous, full-power requirement, the rear cylinders, mounted in longitudinal configuration, had been more prone to overheating, requiring a cooling method change from the previous air to the present water. Although the eight-cylinder V-type necessarily bore a weight penalty over the earlier-generation of powerplants, it had offered continuous horsepower for considerable intervals, rendering Curtiss’s biplanes the fastest then in existence.
Characteristic of these earlier designs had been two, 12-square-foot, interconnected ailerons which, in an attempt to deviate from the Wright-patented wing-warping method of inflight blanking, had provided transverse control, while two 24-square-foot elevators, forming a second, smaller biplane and mounted at the end of two bamboo outriggers, pivoted at their meeting point ahead of the pilot in a canard arrangement, effectuating a climb, or upward pitch, and descent, or downward pitch, by means of a respective pull or push of the control column.
The tailplane had been formed by a 15-square-foot, rigid, horizontal surface, providing a stabilizing keel, and a 6.6-square-foot, pivotal, vertical surface mounted at the intersection of bamboo outriggers and connected to the pilot’s steering wheel through their hollow centers, facilitating yaw control.
The aircraft rested on pneumatic, springless, bicycle-like wheels.
All these design features had been incorporated in the later Curtiss Model D, whose ultimate configuration, echoing the methodology applied by the Wright Brothers, had been the result of a systematic approach to overcoming aerodynamic obstacles with design solutions.
The aircraft, with a 26-foot overall length, features neither an open nor an enclosed fuselage, but instead a geometric collection of spruce, ash, and bamboo serving as a common flight surface, control, and undercarriage attachment point, and is comprised of a trapezoid to support the forward elevator; a lower triangle for the pilot’s seat, control column, and nose wheel; dual, horizontal airfoils for lift, below which are the main wheels; and an aft, tailboom-formed triangle extending to the vertical and horizontal tailplane. The engine, mounted between the two wings, is sandwiched between these forward- and rearward-extending geometries. Somehow resembling a box kite, which had been dawning, heavier-than-air aviation’s only flying predecessor, it is a prime example of form following function.
Two interplane ailerons, tracing their origins to those developed by Curtiss during his Aerial Experiment Association involvement, had initially been mounted ahead of the cambered wings on the forward struts, but their inter-surface air foil disruption had necessitated their relocation to the rear ones, behind the wings. Unlike the wing-warping method, which had entailed the twisting of the entire airfoil, these “ailerons,” which translate as “little wings” from the French, and initially appear like a third wing forming a triplane, hinge up or down, creating more lift on one side and inducing a bank in the opposite direction. Four moveable, triangular-shaped surfaces, mounted on the wingtips of the Curtiss White Wing aircraft, an AEA design, had constituted an earlier attempt to provide lateral control.
The “cockpit,” consisting of little more than an exposed, wooden seat, a wheeled control column, and food pedals, had been based upon the motorcycle and automobile from which the new pilot, according to Curtiss’s ideology, would most likely transition. Mechanical controls should be a natural connection to the limbs, imitating the dexterity of the human form. Its controls were the key to the extension from one to the other, resulting in a human-machine interface, and the Model D uniquely introduced three car-like foot pedals.
The first of these, located on the left, released a spring-loaded “claw” beneath the airframe to snag, brake-like, dirt and grass, while the second, in the center, engaged the nose wheel brake, whose simple arrangement had entailed the release of a block which provided friction as it depressed the actual wheel, slowing its rotation. But the third of the three, located on the right, had, more than any of them, echoed automobile operation, replacing the traditional engine throttle and fully replicating the ground-based gas pedal.
Unlike a car’s steering wheel, which turns its wheels, or an aircraft’s yoke, which differentially deflects its ailerons, the Curtiss Model D’s circular control operated the rudder for aerial banking, a movement traditionally controlled by foot pedals, while the column on which the wheel is mounted actuates the forward, single elevator for pitch, or longitudinal, control, by means of a simplistic bamboo pushrod connection.
The triangular-shaped surfaces extending above and below the horizontal elevator augment yaw-axis stability.
Aileron actualization, whose method had been introduced by the June Bug, is another example of motorcycle technology transfer, its pilot seat-attached shoulder yoke, akin to something one would “wear,” pivots to either side in order to differentially deflect the aileron surfaces themselves, mounted on struts located beyond and between the main wings’ trailing edges. The pilot only needs to lean toward the raised wing in order to return the airplane to its neutral position.
A radiator separates the pilot from the 80-hp, eight cylinder, V-configured, A-3 Hall-Scott engine built in 1911 and sports an aft-facing, two-bladed wooden propeller, which extends above and below the two trailing edges, thus earning the aircraft its designation of “Pusher.” A long, cylindrical, almost torpedo-resembling fuel tank is installed below the upper wing.
The aircraft, although primitive in appearance, is actually advanced in operation, incorporating several Curtiss-designed innovations, inclusive of the shoulder yoke aileron control, the ailerons themselves, the foot controls, and the tricycle undercarriage.
Instrumental in the development of naval aviation, the Curtiss Model D, piloted by Eugene Ely, had been the first aircraft to operate from an aircraft carrier, taking off from the USS Birmingham on January 18, 1911 and landing on the USS Pennsylvania ten months later, on October 11, requiring the installation of an arrester hook to do so. Pontoon-fitted, it had also conducted water operations. A two-person military version, the Model D Type IV, had been acquired by the US Army Signal Corps, on April 27 of that year, and had been designated “Signal Corps Airplane Number 2.” “Signal Corps Airplane Number 1” had been a Wright Brothers design.
The Curitss Model D’s unique flight control configuration and tail-heavy balancing require some degree of pilot familiarization.
Engine starting, like that of all early designs, is a two-person procedure, requiring the seated pilot to move the spark advance lever to the “retard” position and to lightly rest his foot on the throttle pedal, while the standing ground attendant, sandwiched between the rear tailbooms, turns the propeller extending from the eight-cylinder engine. After it has been turned, the spark lever is engaged and it rotates into air and noise circulating life.
The field staff, more than the aircraft’s inherent capabilities, provide guided direction on the ground, since it is devoid of nose wheel steering, despite its novel, tricycle undercarriage configuration, and its rudder is ineffective at slow, initial speeds.
Full engine run-up, with the aircraft pointed toward the wind, ensures fouled plug clearance.
With the biplane pointed in the desired take off direction, and water and oil temperatures within safe ranges, the pilot signals the ground staff to release its grip and the foot-throttle pedal is completely depressed, at which time fuel is piped to the Hall-Scott engine and its full, 80-hp production is verified by its propeller rotation.
Up-elevator deflection, hitherto relieving the nose wheel of excessive ground pressure, is progressively diminished until the air, routed over and down the two cambered, fabric-covered wings with sufficient speed, reduces upper-surface pressure and they react by taking the path of least resistance–upward, and taking the geometric, beam-formed structure to which they are attached with them.
Surrendered to the air, which requires three axes of control, the Model D negotiates the wind with its shoulder yoke-deflecting ailerons, its column-connected canard elevator, and its steering wheel-activating rudder. The former, directly connected to the pilot’s shoulders, is an interactive maneuver, rendering the aircraft very much an extension of him, as if it were a larger, aerial “body.”
Because of its tail-heavy stability, it requires some degree of down-elevator deflection to maintain straight-and-level flight, and its wooden beam, flat-plate devoid geometry easily results in skids without corrective, coordinated aileron-and-rudder turns.
Aircraft drag, quickly resulting in stalls, and the shock absorber-devoid undercarriage, necessitates gentle, power-on landings.
Initial acquisition of a Curtiss Model D for the Old Rhinebeck Aerodrome collection had occurred in the mid-1950s when Cole Palen had attempted to purchase one from a museum in Connecticut, but it had been intermittently sold to someone else. Never deterred or daunted by obstacles, he had built one himself. Subsequently preparing it for an Air Force air show, and conducting nocturnal, high-speed taxi tests, however, he had pulled back on the canard elevator-deflecting column and the biplane had rotated into a virtually vertical climb, stalling and crashing back on to the ground with minimal personal injury.
He later built two more reproductions, one of which, completed in 1976 and powered by the original, 1911 Hall-Scott engine obtained from the Smithsonian Institution, had been intended for the Saturday “History of Flight” air shows and still flies today. It had been demonstrated in Hammondsport, New York, shortly after it had been completed to honor its original designer.
Like all of Old Rhinebeck’s pioneer aircraft, it is restricted to a short hop above the rolling grass field.
Subjected to an extensive reconstruction in the spring of 2002, the aircraft received an upper wing center section refabrication, a new propeller, and an overhaul of its A-3 powerplant, which had entailed disassembly of its crankcase, magnetos, carburetor, cylinders, and heads, taking to the skies so configured on August 10 and making its first aerial circuit in its 27-year history from the Avalon Airport in Geelong during the 2003 Australian International Airshow.
Despite its primitive- and frail-appearing, wood beam, strut, and wire construction geometrically collected in the form of a biplane, the Model D, incorporating many significant, early, 20th-century innovations and advancements, was the product of Glenn Hammond Curtiss’s systematic solution to aerodynamics and aerial flight. Its controls are an extension of the pilot who flies it. Its airframe, to which they are attached, is an extension of the man who designed it.
