| 1860 Mojaiski first airplane of the worldWed, 07 Jan 2009 08:40:23 -0800 by NewVizaarAleksandr F. Mozhaiski was an Imperial Russian Naval officer who spent a total of 24 years in the service of The Czar. As a young man Mozhaiski studied bird flight and the wings of birds, and contemplated the requirements for a heavier-than-air flying machine. He applied for and received funds from the Ministry of the Military in the 1870's to pursue his aerial research. When, in 1878, he sought additional funding to study designs for aerial propellers, he was denied. Within two years he was using his own resources, building large kites, and about 1880 he was lifted off the ground by an array of such kites.In mid-1880, he applied for a patent on his design for a large steam powered monoplane, which was granted in November of 1881. Apparently his design was seen as having merit for he was given a grant of 2,500 Imperial Russian rubles (a considerable sum of money) with which he was to build his steam powered monoplane. The construction of the machine took approximately a year. He purchased three steam engines, two of 20 h.p. and one of 10 h.p. His flying machine had three four-bladed propellers, one mounted as a tractor driven by the 10 h.p. steam engine, and two inset in slots in the surfaces of the wings as pusher propellers driven by a single 20 h.p. steam engine through chains and gears. A large horizontal tail surface and a large vertical rudder comprised the flight controls. It appears that Mozhaiski had also planned to use a differential in power to the two inset propellers as a method of turning. The Mozhaiski monoplane was a very large machine, having an overall length of 75 feet 6 inches and a wing span of 74 feet 9 inches. The extreme chord (width) of the wing, 46 feet 6 inches, in relation to the span (the "aspect ratio"), would have limited the lift which the large surface area could generate. Another lift limiting factor would have been the fact that the wings were constructed as literal "aeroplanes" (flat wings), having no camber (curve).

| From Boullée to EternityWed, 07 Jan 2009 06:56:42 -0800 by citysoninfoFrom Boullée to Eternity est une sculpture architecturale qui fut pensée en 1988 puis réalisée en 2006 par lartiste New-Yorkais Dan Graham, dans le cadre de la commande publique pour le nouveau tramway parisien. Elle se situe entre le parc des expositions de la porte de Versailles et larrêt du tramway T3 du même nom.Cette ?uvre se compose de deux grandes plaques de miroir sans tain montées en arcs de cercles dans des cadres métalliques qui sont imbriqués lun dans lautre afin de former un ovale.Ici, Dan Graham sattache à dégager les potentialités perceptibles du verre et ainsi il invite le spectateur à entrer librement dans un monde de reflets où les effets de parois du verre transforment les figures alentours.Depuis de nombreuses années, Dan Graham sest interrogé sur larchitecture et la standardisation des éléments de construction des maisons populaires américaines. Il sest insurgé contre larchitecture de masse et répétitive et opta pour une vision utopique de larchitecture.Son expérience artistique prit, à partir de la fin des années 70, principalement la forme de ce quil appelle des « pavillons », des petites sculptures architecturales aux murs de verres et de miroirs.Cette sculpture sinscrit dans lesprit des pavillons mais plus précisément il sagit ici dun hommage rendu à Louis-Etienne Boullée qui était un architecte français néoclassique du 18ème siècle, et dont le travail fut énormément admiré ainsi quétudié par Dan Graham.En effet, tout au long de son ?uvre, Boullée avait imaginé des édifices utopiques qui unissaient la philosophie des lumières, une échelle élevée, des formes géométriques simples ainsi que des lignes épurées.
