We all without exception face the consequences of the financial crisis. The challenges that Czech entrepreneurs have to deal with at home become even harder in the global market. The world has been globalised for some time now and as a result changes are much less predictable than in previous years. These turbulences must be seen as challenges of opening markets. We must not baulk, on the contrary, we must search for opportunities and use all possibilities for our entrepreneurs to the maximum extent possible, be active when identifying and extending export opportunities with good prospects for the whole Czech economy, and approach any potential business possibilities in a sophisticated way. In recent years every company manager – no matter whether their company is small or large, Czech or international – has performed rationalization of costs. Firms currently consider all their expenses and count every penny and the state does the same. The support to exporting activities must be provided with top efficiency. We must help Czech companies to come out of this uneasy crisis period with their heads held high, with an offer of promising opportunities of participation in international trade, with secured trade outlets and an operational foreign network. Dear Exhibitors and Customers, I am honoured to address you on behalf of the agency responsible for running the Specialized Exhibitions and Fairs Project, CzechTrade, which has spent the last thirteen years supporting mainly small and medium−sized Czech firms as they seek to establish business operations on foreign markets. Many of you are already familiar with our services, and I am confident that you have transformed their added value into export success. Our trump card, unmatched by other similar entities, is our network of experts in 33 countries. Their contacts and knowledge of the specific local situation can be your springboard to both the correct choice of market and business development in a particular country. We strive to provide our clients with a personal service; we ask them for as much specific feedback as possible and, based on this output, we modify the way we work. Statistics revealing the growing business of our clients prove that we are following the right path. We accept this as a success but also as a major commitment. A commitment which compels us to keep developing our services for exporters and to respond flexibly to their needs, developments on the global markets and the international trade situation. Every year the Ministry of Industry and Trade in cooperation with other institutions systematically supports numerous presentations of our exporters at exhibitions and fairs abroad. There are fewer funds available and it is true these days more than ever that you get what you pay for but our task is to try to get more than what we pay for, that is, we must offer the entrepreneurs the same services with the limited amount of financial resources we have. The gains from participation of Czech companies in fairs are obvious beyond any doubt: surveying of competitive markets, identification of business opportunities, acquisition of direct contacts followed by cost saving electronic communication, presentation of one’s own business activities and products, adaptation of the relation between the quality of our products and their prices to competition, finding of power-efficient and simpler production processes respecting environmental standards and modern technological trends. All this leads to the broadening of outlook of companies and to new contracts developing their life cycles. I am glad I may welcome all exhibition and fair participants and to encourage them on their way to foreign markets. I highly regard their active approach and support their steps. Good luck! Martin Kocourek Minister of Industry and Trade of the Czech Republic The economic recession is just one of the factors that have seen enterprises become much more discerning about quality than they used to be, and the standard of services provided by the State is no exception in this respect. Therefore, it is more important than ever for all those who genuinely want to help our exporters to see beyond the confines of their own organizations and work together to raise the bar of the State’s export promotion services. The Specialized Fairs and Exhibitions Project, hand in hand with the cooperation provided by its main partners – the Ministry of Industry and Trade, the Economic Chamber and CzechTrade – will be both a great opportunity and a major test in this regard. CzechTrade, already on a par with Europe’s leading export agencies, certainly wants to be part of that trend. If you like our work and want to continue conquering new markets with us and share your achievements and experience, I believe that, together, we will have plenty to offer the world in the 21st century. I am confident that we will bring back home not only Olympic gold medals, but also the joy of successfully engaging in business.

A sustained development in all its areas, though, did not take place until the independent Czechoslovak Republic was founded in 1918 with the first Czech aircraft manufacturers successfully building upon the excellent reputation of the local machine industry. Over the course of the next several decades (with the exception of the Second World War, during which the independent aircraft industry ceased to exist) the Czech aircraft industry mainly focused on producing small transportation and military aircraft as well as a considerable number of outstanding training, sport and touristic light aircraft designs, including some agricultural utility aircraft. Over the last century, the Czech aircraft industry grew to produce nearly three hundred different types of aircraft, mostly powered by locally made engines. Many of these aircraft have been successfully sold abroad and operated and flown on all continents with the exception of the Antarctic. Since late 1970’s, Czech experts have been actively participating in the development of instruments and satellites for space research. Both small and large Czech aircraft companies alike now participate in the continuing efforts of the aircraft and space industry. The high potential and creativity of this industry’s work force is very apparent in this fifth issue of the catalogue appropriately titled Czech Aviation 2011. Nonetheless, we are proud to note that a majority of the reviewed aircraft are light aircraft focused solely on sports, recreation, tourism and other peaceful purposes. The year 1990 saw the beginnings of a new development of their production, and now these aircraft are among the most wide-spread in their category throughout the world. In addition to these aircraft, the Czech industry still offers successful training and tourist “classical” category aircrafts as well as smaller transportation aircraft, now growing in popularity. The Czech Republic places great emphasis on development and progress in the aviation and airspace industry; these are fields that hold immense potential for those with the appropriate share of knowledge, skills, and expertise, and in which even a small country may play a crucial role in the international sphere.

Every year they introduce a range of new types, whose performance and other features surpass the previous one. These companies have given wings to three thou- sand paraglider pilots in the Czech Republic alone and other tens of thousands the world over. This catalogue lists currently manufactured single-place paragliders, top-notch racing paragliders, tandem paragliders and many kinds of special paragliders. The suitability of the given type of paraglider for the specific skill level of its potential pilot is shown on a colour scale. The scale shows the range of skill from an absolute beginner to the most experienced pilot. The sizes of the canopy are shown according to their respective manufacturers’ methods of designation. The weights listed are the take-off ones (weight of pilot including full equipment, weighing from 15 to 20 kg for free paragliding and 40 kg for flying with paramotors). www.axispara.cz pilot: beginner Vega III Mercury II -

Certification Administration • The LAA ČR system of proving the airworthiness is based on technical inspectors. For the three-axis control UL category there are 24 appointed inspectors. • The technical inspectors are appointed and managed by the Chief Technical Inspector, who is an employee of the LAA ČR. • The inspectors are not employees of the LAA ČR and their duty is carried out on the voluntary (activist) basis. • The inspectors are spread regionally accross the Czech Republic. • The inspectors file their registers of aircraft and have allotted their identification letters in the registration mark. LAA ČR recognises 3 types of technical certificates: „Z“ a technical certificate (TC) of airworthiness of a prototype of an aeroplane, built by an individual builder. The documentation of the basic calculation is required; a building process supervision by the technical inspector and at least strength test of the wing is mandatory. Validity of the TC = 1 year „P“ a technical certificate of airworthiness of an aeroplane that was granted a LAA ČR type certificate. A comprehensive range of stress (load) tests is carried out and the aircraft is tested up to ultimate (maximum calculated) loads. The approval procedure is carried out as an opponency. The final decision lies with the Technical commission of the LAA, where 10 top class specialists convene and decide. The technical commission is managed by the Chief Technical Inspector. The complete documentation is filed in the LAA ČR archive. The result of the process is the Type certificate. Validity of the TC = 2 years „A“ a technical certificate of airworthiness of an aeroplane, amateur/home-built according to a documentation of aeroplane that was granted a Type certificate. The documentation has to be purchased officially from the Type certificate holder. The technical inspector carries out the supervision during the building process; a wing stress test to the maximum operational (limit) load is always required. Validity of the TC = 2 years. 38 LAA ČR Concept of Certification Stress/Strength Tests • Serve to prove the basic structural strength of all primary structure parts of the aircraft, such as wing, fuselage, empennage etc. • Each structure has to pass a system of strength tests covering the requirements of the regulations to at least the calculated limit loads. • The tests are carried out by the manufacturer under the supervision from the LAA ČR. • Simple loading methods are used. • The tests are carried out until the calculated limit stress/load is achieved. • The visual checks and measurements of the deformation are carried out too. • Wings ultimate strength (loading to destruction) tests are preferred to ascertain the actual strength reserves of the airframe – for „P“ Technical Certificate. • The failed critical points of structures are often appropriately strengthened and the tests are repeated to find eventual other critical points. • The tests results are in case of failures compared to the design calculations and thus they serve to precise design calculation methods.

During operation with mechanical flaps there are possible unwanted changes of the flight attitude caused by: - insufficient space in the cockpit - flaps lever is too long or in improper position and therefore abrupt flaps setting The positions of the electrical flaps depending on the aircraft model are easy programmable by everyone. There are only 2 buttons on the backside of the control unit for programming the requested flaps positions. When the flap positions are programmed, the compact electrical actuator brings the flaps in the correct position by a simple change of the lever position. The LED-indicator of the last flaps position lights until the next resp. requested position is reached. During this time flashes the LED-indicator of the requested position given by the lever. If the force exceeds the programmed limit (e.g. by flaps setting during too high flight speed), the flaps return to the previous, lower position. Also reaching of this flaps position and the activation of the security system is indicated by the LED-indicator and so is the pilot advised to his mistake. Because of reliability reason, for the changing the flaps position instead of an electrical switch we have used a mechanical lever which position is checked by 4 Hall-sensors (non contact switch).

Among its most important tasks belongs the development of the high-precision micro-accelerometers for measuring the extremely small accelerations in the spacecraft. These very accurate devices enable to measure the effects of non-gravitational forces on the parameters of trajectory of the artificial satellites, orbiting the Earth. Subsequently the processed data enable to produce and make more accurate the dynamic models of the Earth’s thermosphere. Currently the ARTI/VZLÚ participates in the SWARM project, part of the “Earth observation “programme, supported by ESA. The project is devoted to the research of the magnetic field of the Earth and the near space environment, with the EADS Astrium concern serving as the main implementer and prime contractor. The purpose of the order for the ARTI/VZLÚ is a supply of one engineering model and three flight examples of the micro-accelerometer for measuring accelerations of low frequencies and amplitudes. Besides the SW also the EGSE - a ground test unit - is included in the scope of the task. 62 Space research and development have a long tradition in the Czech Republic starting back in October 1969. In 1978, the first Czech astronaut Vladimir Remek spent 6 days on-board of the Salyut 6 orbital station and Czechoslovakians thus became the third nation to enter the space. The first Czech satellite Magion 1 reached its orbit in October 1978. The Automated Stabilised Platform was the most sophisticated space equipment manufactured in Czechoslovakia. It was used on the Soviet Vega Spacecrafts in 80’s and also installed on the Mir orbital station. Second half of 90’s brought increasing level of cooperation with the European Space Agency (ESA), which culminated in November 2008 when the Czech Republic became the ESA full member. Starting from the 2010, the Czech Republic is also full member of EUMETSAT. The ESA membership has opened new opportunities for Czech companies and institutions engaged in space. The Czech Republic has committed 45.6 million Euro to the ESA programmes until 2013. Space related research and innovation projects are also eligible to get funding from the Czech Grant Agency, the Ministry of Industry and Trade, the Czech Academy of Sciences and universities. The Czech Space Office (CSO) is the national information and advisory centre for space opportunities and activities in the Czech Republic and serves the national space community as the central contact point for communication with ESA. The CSO has close relations with the Association of the Aviation Manufacturers and Czech Space Alliance, two bodies where larger companies and SMS, respectively, of the Czech space industry are organised. The space industry is one of the new emerging sectors in the Czech Republic. Several Czech manufacturing companies have already a contract to supply mechanical and/or electronic parts and sensors for satellites. Apart from companies already approved to deliver to the space, there are many with a potential to transfer their technological skills into the space sector. The main Czech hardware competencies include materials thermal processing; high-precision mechanical parts and assemblies; PCB assembling in a clean room; mechanical, structural and environmental testing; high-quality opticalmechanical/-electronic devices; telecommunication systems; robotic systems and nanotechnology products. In the field of software development, the major skills cover vehicles health monitoring, flight/ground segment software, complex software solutions, solutions for safety-critical systems, digital image processing and signal processing. www.czechspace.cz CZECH AVIATION 2011 Aerospace Engineering at Czech Technical University in Prague The Czech Technical University in Prague (ČVUT/CTU) is one of the most important and respected Czech technical universities. Since 1926 it trains aviation engineers and also carries many high-level scientific, research and development activities in the realm of aerospace, under-taken at the University departments (faculties) - the machine engineering, electric engineering and transport engineering. These departments have a number of specialized sites, serving the need of University as working as needed for the aerospace industry R&D, and for the air transport.

Brno University of Technology in the aerospace research and development The aviation education has a long−standing tradition at the universities of Brno; it brought, besides e.g. the development of the turbine aero engines, also some pioneering aircraft designs and high−performance gliders of the thirties and sixties. In 1982 at the Brno University of Technology the Aviation Department has been re-established and in 1993 the University had founded its Institute of Aerospace Engineering (IAE), led by prof. Ing. Antotnín Píštěk, CSc., as a part of the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering. IAE belongs to very few institutes in Czech Republic, who offer university degree study in aerospace. It covers wide range of speciali zations in 2 master´s and 1 bachelor´s study programmes. The Institute offers master degree in "Aircraft Design" and in "Aeronautical Traffic", bachelor´s study for "Professional Pilots" and also the doctoral (PhD) studies. The work of the IAE is from the beginning aimed at a close cooperation with companies of the Czech aerospace industry. In 2000 the Aerospace Research Centre (ARC) has been created, based on the programme of research centres of the Ministry of Youth, Education and Sports of the Czech Republic (MŠMT). The Aerospace Research Centre's work is supervised by a fifteen−member council, with an absolute majority of industry representatives, thus the Centre ensures a transfer of research results to the aviation industry and the feedback of the industry knowledge to the research sites. The activities of the IAE and ARC are aimed at aerodynamics, modern technologies and materials, systems' reliability, hydraulic systems, space research and at the aeronautical structures, strength and life of aircraft and also at the economic aspects of the aircraft development. An important asset of the IAE is the test facility with the Czech CAA certificate for static and fatigue testing of aircraft structures. The wide scope of work is documented by some of the many tasks in which the IAE participated or participates. Here belong e.g. the: ● The development of the KP−2U Sova ultralight and its further upgrading. ●Collaboration in the development of the Aero Ae-270. ●Collaboration in the development of the JA600 Light Sport Aircraft for Jihlavan Airplanes. http://lu.fme.vutbr.cz www.fme.vutbr.cz ●Design of the ●Collaboration VUT100 Cobra five−seat touring aircraft. with the HPH company in the development of the HPH−304S high−performance all−composite glider. ●Design and production of "Marabu family" of experimental aircraft: VUT 001 Marabu and its modifications VUT 051 RAY and VUT 061 Turbo. ●Collaboration on modernization program for L-410 transport aircraft. ●Cooperation with the Jihlavan Co. in the development of hydraulic components for small transport airplanes. ●Collaboration in the development of the EV-55 light transport, build by Evektor Co. ●Cooperation on the EU projects: CESAR, DATON, CELPACT, PPLANE, DAEDALOS, SPARTAN. 63 64 CZECH AVIATION 2011 The Czech Republic lies land−locked among many countries in the very heart of Europe. Thanks to its location it experienced many dramatic moments during the ages, but it also became a meeting point of European cultures, growing, welcoming and giving home to many world−class thinkers, writers, architects, painters, sculptors and musicians. One meets their ideas materialised in works of art gracing the historic Czech towns and cities, castles and chateaux as well as country manors. Paying a visit to the capital of Prague, to Moravian Kroměříž, to South Bohemian Český Come and fly-in to see ... Foto Lubor Kubát Krumlov and many other places is therefore akin to taking a living arts history course, it is a meeting with beauty. Also the nature of Czechia is something to behold − it offers deep forests with lurking game, slopes of mountains, both steep ranges and gentle uplands, fertile basins and lowlands around curving rivers, a fisher's paradise. The vast mirrors of ponds and deep river dam reservoirs teem with fowl and fish. Flying over the landscape of Czech Republic you will enjoy the kaleidoscopic change of shapes and colours − beneath the wings pass the large, neatly tilled fields, apple orchards, pictu−resque villages and colourful cities with parks and gardens. It is without doubt these romantic vistas, offered by flying over our lands, contributed to make flying so popular activity in our country − we simply feel that the air is our sea. In the Czech Republic there are nine international aerodromes, over fifty general aviation airfields, and over hundred and fifty sports airfields and airstrips, including the ultralight ones. In the mountains there are many summits, ridges and slopes with launch platforms and ramps for paragliding and hang gliding. In the recent years, the free flying over Czechia has attracted many pilots from abroad, in addition to the already hooked domestic aviators. Many Czech airfields now offer a good accommodation for aviation tourists, providing at the same time the technical base for the needs of their winged mounts… The Czech Republic is a beautiful and friendly country, both for the land−bound tourists and for those who would prefer the bird's eye perspective and free motion in the blue sky. It is as easy as just flying in and seeing for yourself … 65 There are several groups of individuals and companies in the Czech Republic dedicated to building replicas, renovating vintage aeroplanes and flying with them. These include: Martin Kindernay's Flying Circus in Hradec Králové, Metoděj Vlach Aeroplane Endowment Fund in Mladá Boleslav, Czech & Slovak Old Timer Glider Club, Czechoslovak Historic Flight and Heritage of Flying Legends. There are also several individual enthusiasts who build their own vintage aeroplane replicas and many others who fly them. The following photographs were taken during airshows as well as leasure flying. As in the automobilism also in the aviation many enthusiasts covet the veteran and vintage machines. Some restore them, often to a state better than the original series production veteran enjoyed when it left the production shops, some build the replicas true to the original that disappeared long ago, according to old blueprints and often with almost detective finding of information. Some of the replicas belong to the category of ultralight aircraft. In Czechia this activity is a domain not only of entusiastic individuals and volunteer groups, but also of small, highly specialised firms. All of them repair, restore or build from stratch their machines for their owners' personal pleasure as well as for education and enlightenment of the general public in matters of technical beauty. The vintage sailplane enthusiasts aggregate in the Czech 66 This precise replica of Tatra T-101 was built from scratch by the Sklenář brothers POTC (Oldtimer gliding Club) and organize their own aviation contests. The restorers, builders and pilots of historic powered airplanes meet the public at air shows organised from spring till autumn at many airfelds around Czechia and also at the historic aircraft fly−ins. Their dexterity and profound knowledge of their matter has been used to advantage several times by film−makers to build replicas, both flying and otherwise, for historic motion pictures. Thanks to effort of hundreds of these enthusiasts it is possible to see in the sky, besides the sleek and sometimes mundane all metal or all−composite "spam can", also the old and "hairy" classic aeroplanes built of wood and rag. They shine with a special beauty and despite their antique (or antiquated) looks most of them fly pretty well.
