NH Industries WAS founded IN 1992 by Agusta of Italy, Eurocopter Deutschland of Germany, Eurocopter and Fokker to develop and produce the twin-turboshaft NH90 tactical transport (TTH) and multirole NATO frigate helicopter (NFH). First flown December 1995, production deliveries Were expected to begin in 2003, first to the Netherlands (navy). Planned orders were for France to receive between 68 and 133 TTHs and 27 NFHs, Germany 205 TTHs and 38 NFHs, Italy 160 TTHs and 64 NFHs, and the Netherlands 20 NFHs.

Newman Australia II
The Australia II was owned, designed and built by Sydney Engineer Mr. Harley Newman. The advantages of Australia II over the original gyrocopter, named Australia, include a more streamlined overall design, lighter weight and a single rudder to reduce the air drag created by the twin rudders on the original machine.
The engine is a turbo charged 900cc BMW motor bike engine. Features of the aircraft include a Streamlined Cabin, Hydraulic Pre-Spin Wind Up for the Rotor Blades, Full Instrumentation, Hydraulic Disc Brakes, Self Starter, Radio Communication, Cabin Controlled Adjustments for Advance and Retarding the engine, altering the Fuel Mixture of the Carburettor and directing the Oil Flow from the Hydraulic Pump to the Hydraulic Motor in the Rotary Head.
The fuel tank has been designed to be an integral part of the cabin area. Also of note was the design of the Tail Plane and Rudder.
Australia II was never flown. However, a considerable amount of Ground Testing and Development on the Engine, particularly the Turbo Charger had been carried out. At the time of Mr. Newman’s death this machine was producing high Horsepower and Static Thrust. At the time of it’s construction, Australia II was by far the most technically advanced Gyrocopter in Australia.
Australia II was donated to the Australian Aviation Museum by Harley Newman’s son Gordon, as this was his father’s wish.
Newman Australia
Mr. Newman died on Saturday September 13th, 1986 while flying his Gyrocopter, named Australia. No reason for his death could be found.
Newman, Harley
Australia.
Harley Newman had very little education, virtually none in fact. He came from Victoria to Sydney at the age of 14 and later qualified as a Boilermaker. This was his only formal qualification. Mr. Newman became a self taught Engineer over the period of his life, having been born with a great gift for all things mechanical.

New Century Aerosport Radial Rocket / Altitude Radial Rocket / P85 / Ackland Radial Rocket
The Altitude Radial Rocket is an American amateur-built aircraft, produced by the Altitude Group of Overland Park, Kansas. The aircraft is supplied as a kit for amateur construction.
The aircraft features a cantilever low-wing, a two-seats-in-tandem enclosed cockpit under a bubble canopy, fixed conventional landing gear or retractable tricycle landing gear and a single radial engine in tractor configuration.
The aircraft is made from composites. The wing span and area as well as gross weight varies depending on the model. The Radial Rocket’s recommended engine power range is 360 to 400 hp (268 to 298 kW) and the standard engine used is the 360 hp (268 kW) Vedeneyev M-14P four-stroke powerplant.
Jeff Ackland planned to sell kits under the company name New Century Aerosport. By October 2012 five examples had been registered in the United States with the Federal Aviation Administration. Unit cost US$74,500 (RG model, kit only) in production in 2011.
The P85 is the result of installing powerful, light, all aluminum liquid cooled V8 engine technology into the Radial Rocket airframe.
The focus of the P85 was on a simple, relatively low cost V8 firewall forward powerplant option. Toward this end, the P85 cowling has been lofted around the LS series of high performance V8’s.
The engine installed in the first P85 was a 402 CID LS2/LS3 hybrid designed to deliver 400+ HP to the prop at 5000 crankshaft RPM. A 1.8:1 ratio PSRU (prop speed reduction unit) reduces prop rpm to 2800 max. This single mesh gearbox drives a Catto 3 blade, 80 inch diameter fixed pitch propeller.
Also contributing to the goal of simplicity is single-lever power management – no mixture or prop controls to manage, thanks to electronic fuel injection controlled via an ECU.
