Aeronautical Defence and Space Company)‚ also known as Airbus‚ manufactured and delivered 305 aircraft. This made it the largest aeroplane company in the world. It now sells more commercial aircraft than its nearest competitor‚ the American company Boeing. Some 50‚000 people work for Airbus worldwide. Since the 1970s‚ they have sold nearly 5‚000 aircraft to more than 180 customers. Today‚ an EADS Airbus aircraft takes off somewhere in the world every four seconds. In 2003‚ the company’s budget was

By Introduction:- A helicopter is a very unique type of aircraft that uses rotating blades (wings of a airplane‚ and a helicopter must be curved from the front and gradually smooth out at the back to generate lift. This shape is called an airfoil ) to acquire lift .Unlike an airplane that is dependent on speed‚ an airplane must fly in a certain speed to move enough air over its wings to provide lift. A helicopter’s rotor also allows it to move forward ‚backward‚ upward

What is the worst thing that a force can do before going into battle? The worst thing that a force cannot do is have improper planning. In the article Anaconda- A Flawed Joint Planning there was some key steps that were missed in the Military Decision Making Process (MDMP). The article describes five errors that the unit could have avoided by using MDMP. However I am only going to discuss four out of the five errors and there are as follows: Poor Intelligence Preparation of the Battlefield‚ Underestimating

departure‚ crosswind‚ downwind‚ base‚ and final leg which are the main legs to focus on for a good landing. In a left traffic pattern the pilot should be able to look out to the side and see the “captain’s bars” or the aiming point directly across the wing‚ this is called being abeam the runway. At this time he or she should set up for a normal landing. First‚ still on the downwind leg‚ the pilot will turn on the carburetor heat for any possible icing‚ pull the power back‚ and bleed off any extra speed

96% of unstabilised approaches do not result in a go-around when 54% of all aircraft accidents could have been prevented by a go-around (Trautvetter‚ 2013). A stabilised approach is defined as: The aircraft is on the correct flight path; Only small changes in heading/pitch are necessary to maintain the correct flight path; The airspeed is not more than VREF + 20kts indicated speed and not less than VREF; The aircraft is in the correct landing configuration; Sink rate is no greater than 1000

The idea of flight can best be described as no less than a phenomenon. Throughout history‚ crude designs and even attempts were put forth to bring human closer to the sun. Eventually this dream was realized in the early twentieth century. In the 1500’s Leonardo da Vinci studied birds and their flight in order to design a way to enable humans to fly. In nineteenth century England‚ Cayley makes the first practical attempts to fly using large glider models of planes. In 1903‚ Orville and Wilbur Wright

The machine also had a hand crank for increased energy output‚ and a head piece for steering. As the busy pilot spins cranks with his hands and feet‚ the wings of the machine flap. The inspiration of nature in the invention is apparent in the way the wings

The Cessna 172 is the most common and most produced aircraft in the world. With an illustrious history of use in multiple fields‚ the Cessna 172 has secured its position in the history books and in the hearts of many first time pilots. Many new pilots will take their first flights in a Cessna 172 during their trek towards their private pilot certificate. Who are these that fly like a cloud‚ and like doves to their windows?

TABLE OF CONTENT INTRODUCTION This report looks through basic description of aircraft motions using standard terminologies such as stability‚ control and modes of flight. This also influences various controls and components on keeping the aircraft in its desired flight path with the aid of an explanation on the purpose of the design features of high-speed aircraft parts. Furthermore‚ as fluid dynamics refers to the relationship between fluid and an object‚ that is passing through it.
