to minimize the air drag. But at high speeds‚ cars developed lift forces‚ which affected their stability. In order to improve their stability and handling‚ engineers mounted inverted wings profiles1 generating negative lift. First such cars were Opel’s rocket powered RAK1 and RAK2 in 1928. However‚ in Formula‚ wings were not used for another 30 years. Racing in this era 1930’s to 1960’s occured on tracks where the maximum speed could be attained over significant distance‚ so development aimed on

Aircraft Mechanics are also known as: Airframe or Power Plant Mechanics and Avionics or Aviation Technicians. As a valued and critical member of an airline’s chain of operations‚ the primary responsibility of this professional is aircraft preventive maintenance that ensures peak operation‚ performance‚ and safety. This is achieved through aircraft servicing‚ repairing‚ overhauling‚ and testing. A Mechanic performs all required maintenance and inspections of aircraft engines‚ landing gear‚ pressurized

Archimedes’ principle. Although they are not entirely the same in the they apply these theories but in a way they are similar. Whether fixed or rotating the wing achieves lift due to it’s shape. The upper side is rounded causing passing air to accelerate. This makes the air less dense creating a low pressure compared to air below the wing which generates the lift. On top of that‚ both helicopters and airplanes are widely use in many different fields. Comercial‚ military‚ search and rescue‚ and law

Aircraft Basic Components & Controls Aircraft Powerplant The airplane engine and propeller‚ often referred to as the aircraft powerplant‚ work in combination to produce thrust. The powerplant propels the airplane and drives the various systems that support the operation of an airplane. Wing A wing is a type of fin with a surface that produces aerodynamic force for flight or propulsion through the atmosphere‚ or through anothergaseous or liquid fluid. As such‚ wings have an airfoil shape‚ a streamlined cross-sectional shape

An aircraft is a machine that is able to fly by gaining support from the air‚ or‚ in general‚ the atmosphere of a planet. It counters the force of gravity by using either static lift or by using the dynamic lift of an airfoil‚[1] or in a few cases the downward thrust from jet engines. The human activity that surrounds aircraft is called aviation. Crewed aircraft are flown by an onboard pilot‚ but unmanned aerial vehicles may be remotely controlled or self-controlled by onboard computers. Aircraft

aerodynamic features of large passenger aircraft‚ with the use of relevant pictures‚ diagrams and sufficient referencing. INTRODUCTION In this essay I will discuss a brief history of flight and also its evolution through time. I will look into the different principles of flight and their respective origins. It is essential when discussing flight that we look into the atmosphere and its effect; also the aerodynamic features have been incorporated into aircraft design and their respective operation. I

which have the same meaning. They are aircraft‚ airliner and aeroplane‚ plane‚ for short. S. What does the airplane consist of? T. The airplane consists of five principal structural units: the fuselage‚ the wing‚ the tail unit‚ the landing gear and the power plant. The wing means ’kphjio’. It is the main plane of the aircraft. The word ’plane’ has two meanings

ensuing roll of the aircraft due to the un-commanded retraction of the left wing outboard leading edge slats and the loss of stall warning and slat disagreement indication systems‚ resulting from maintenance-induced damage leading to the separation of the number one engine and pylon assembly at a critical point during take-off. Contributing to the cause of the accident were the vulnerability of the design of the pylon attach points to maintenance damage; the vulnerability of the design of the leading
