study |
On July 17th,
1943, Army Air Corp, Lt. Col.
Joseph P. Duckworth flying a single-engine AT-6 trainer becomes the first pilot to intentionally fly
his plane through a storm and into the eye of a hurricane. His
intention was to prove it could be done. In his report he states
"The only embarassing episode would have been engine failure,
which, with the strong ground winds, would probably have
prevented a landing, and certainly would have made a descent via
parachute highly inconvenient." His successful flight paved
the way for further study of hurricanes by aircrafts. Today the
Air Force has a special unit based out of Mississippi for flying
planes into storms of 150 mph or higher for the purpose of
scientific study of the storms.
