rockets and airplanes enchanted me. Also the “AERO INDIA” show exposed me to the various kinds of aircrafts that inspired and galvanized me. My respect for education and inclination towards applied science drove me to opt for math and physics in my higher secondary. With a strong background of these‚ I majored in Mechanical Engineering in undergraduate studies. Subjects like Mechanics of materials‚ Machine design‚ Dynamics of machines‚ Turbo machines‚ Fluid mechanics‚ Robotics‚ Automotive engineering‚ Control

Does a Longer Paper Airplane Fly Farther Than a Wide One? Most historians believe that the Chinese were the first to build paper aircraft because they are credited as the early inventors of paper. It seems logical that they would be the first ones to find a creative use for the substance because they were rich in papyrus and other materials used for making paper. In France‚ during the 1700s‚ the Montgovier brothers used paper to make hot air balloons. In 1783‚ they made the first human carrying hot

topics discussed are the Lift is a force that directly opposes the weight of an aircraft and holds the object in air. Since lift is a result of the thrust or motion of the aircraft it is therefore a force (vector) because it has a magnitude and a direction. But lift cannot be achieved without thrust. This is the mechanical force generated by the aircraft (engines) to overcome the drag and the weight of the aircraft. If the magnitude of thrust is lesser than the magnitude of weight‚ no motion is

Definition of Airport An airport is a location where aircraft such as fixed-wing aircraft‚ helicopters‚ and blimps take off and land. Aircraft may be stored or maintained at an airport. An airport consists of at least one surface such as a runway for a plane to take off and land‚ a helipad‚ or water for takeoffs and landings‚ and often includes buildings such as control towers‚ hangars and terminal buildings. Issues Last year‚ the country has experienced problems with the congestions of major

moment -- up is all that matters. If you are going to provide the upward force with a wing‚ then the wing has to be in motion in order to create lift. Wings create lift by deflecting air downward and benefiting from the equal and opposite reaction that results (see How Airplanes Work for details -- the article contains a complete explanation of how wings produce lift). A rotary motion is the easiest way to keep a wing continuously moving. You can mount two or more

even speed‚ and descended without damage. That machine was named "airplane". Their achievement was not the matter of only a single day. On the contrary‚ they had worked day-in and day-out with determination and had invented seven initial shapes of aircraft including one kite‚ three gliders‚ and three powered airplanes. Throughout their childhood Wilbur and Orville were encouraged to learn and experiment with new things by their loving parents. The father‚ Milton‚ was a bishop in the United Brethren

An airplane is an aircraft but the only difference is that an airplane is heavier. It has fixed wings and is power by propellers or jets. Orville and Wilbur Wright invented the first airplane‚ they were also known as the Wright brothers. The Wright brothers invented the airplane on December 17‚ 1903. The Wright

The pilot apparently decided not to return to the gate for reapplication of deicing‚ fearing that the flight’s departure would be even further delayed. More snow and ice accumulated on the wings during that period‚ and the crew was aware of that fact when they decided to make the takeoff. The crew did not activate the engine anti-ice system. The copilot announced and the pilot confirmed that the plane’s own engine anti-icing system was turned off. First Officer Pettit noted several times to Captain

Fruit Fly Genetics Lab Kelly Hernandez 5/31/14 Drosophila melanogaster is a small‚ common fly found near unripe and rotted fruit. It has been in use for over a century to study genetics. Thomas Hunt Morgan was the best biologist studying Drosophila early in the 1900’s. Morgan was the first to discover sex-linkage and genetic recombination‚ which placed the small fly in the forefront of genetic research. Scientists have used Drosophila for many reasons. For one they are very easy to maintain‚
