The Spirit of Butts' Farm (also known as TAM 5) was the first model aircraft to cross the Atlantic Ocean on August 11, 2003. The aircraft was launched from Cape Spear (47°31.216′N 52°37.428′W / 47.520267°N 52.623800°W) near St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador, and landed at (53°26.462′N 10°7.892′W / 53.441033°N 10.131533°W) near Clifden, Ireland 38.9 hours later. It was recognized by the FAI as a double world record flight for its duration of 38h 52 min 19 sec and straight-line distance of 1,881.6 mi (3,028.1 km) using an autopilot, and using the Argos System for telemetry to track the flight's progress; the team's use of technology also spurred the FAI to create new record categories. The aircraft was controlled by autopilot for >99% of the flight in a manner similar to that used b

  • TAM 5 (TransAtlantikModell) ist ein ferngesteuertes Modellflugzeug mit Autopilotfunktion der TAM-Serie von Maynard L. Hill (USA) und seinem Team Barrett J. Foster und David G. Brown. Die TAM 5 – The Spirit of Butts Farm genannte Maschine dieses Baumusters überquerte vom 9. bis 11. August 2003 im Nonstopflug den Nordatlantik. Durch die Autopilotfunktion ist es auch ein unbemanntes Luftfahrzeug. (de)

The aircraft was controlled by autopilot for >99% of the flight in a manner similar to that used by the Insitu Aerosonde UAV "Laima" that crossed the Atlantic in 1998. The flight used 99.2% of its fuel and left only 1.5 US fluid ounces (44 ml) (or 44 minutes of flight time) remaining when it reached its destination. The aircraft was built by a team led by , a retired metallurgist. Hill had previously set 25 model airplane records and was inducted into the Model Aviation Hall of Fame in 1977. The Spirit of Butts' Farm was the 25th of 28 airframes the team had built in the attempt to cross the Atlantic; the five best models were selected for actual transatlantic flight attempts. The 25th airframe was the fifth selected for the record attempt and was redesignated TAM-5. Later, describing his reaction to learning that the flight had been successful, Hill said, "I just grabbed my wife, hugged her and cried like a baby." The aircraft was named after , an aviation enthusiast who allowed the use of his farm for testing of the aircraft. The name echoes that of the Spirit of St. Louis, the aircraft used by Charles Lindbergh in his transatlantic flight. The aircraft is on display at the . A backup plane for the transatlantic effort is in the collection of the National Air and Space Museum. An article on the flight can be found in the October 2003 edition of Model Aviation Canada magazine. The Society for Technical Aeromodel Research (S.T.A.R.) was organized to help support the costs of the project. (en)
  • 巴茨农场精神号(The Spirit of Butts Farm),也被称为TAM 5,是2003年8月11日成为第一个横跨大西洋的模型飞机。它从的斯必尔角起飞,38.5小时后,抵达爱尔兰克利夫登曼宁海滩。它被批准完成了两项世界纪录:「最长飞行时间」和「使用自动驾驶仪直线飞行3030公里」。飞机99%以上的飞行由自动驾驶仪控制,方式类似1998年横跨大西洋的Aerosonde无人机"Laima"。在飞行结束后,剩余了约60克燃料。 该飞机由一个退休的冶金学者梅纳德·希尔领导的团队建造。希尔此前有25项模型飞机记录,并于1977年被选入。 巴茨农场精神号是团队建造的第25个尝试横渡大西洋的模型。得知飞行已经成功后,希尔说,“我只是抓住了我的妻子,一把抱住她,哭得像个婴儿。” 该飞机取名来自比彻·巴茨,一个航空爱好者,他允许飞机团队在他的农场中进行测试。同时该名字与圣路易斯精神号(查尔斯·林德伯格横跨大西洋飞行的飞机)相呼应。这架飞机目前陈列在。它的后备飞机放在了美国国家航空航天博物馆。 加拿大航空模型杂志在2003年10月版上,报道了该飞机。 (zh)
