INTRODUCTION Traffic jams are the bane of any commuter. Many of us spend an hour or so stuck in traffic every week. The growing population is partly to blame for our congested roads‚ but the main problem is that we are not expanding our transportation systems fast enough to meet ever increasing demands. One solution is to create a new type of transportation that doesn’t rely on roads‚ which could one day make traffic jams a 20th century relic. To do this‚ we must look to the sky and water. WHY

speeds. Wing taper reduces the effectiveness of winglets because of the lower outboard wing loading with taper. Wing taper may also affect the optimum angle of attack for lift to drag improvements. For optimum winglet effectiveness‚ an untampered airfoil must be used. At low speeds‚ a symmetric winglet is at least as effective as a supercritical section winglet. So‚ there is no reason to use the more difficult to construct supercritical shaped winglet. It is found that there is no need to sweep the

The Saab 340A is a Swedish twin turboprop passenger plane which was first produced in 1983. Although they are no longer in production‚ they are still actively used. It was designed in a partnership between Saab and Fairchild with each company being responsible for certain aspects. Fairchild’s portin included the wings‚ engine housing‚ and empennage‚ while Saab handles the fin‚ fuselage‚ and final assembly. They agreed upon a General Electric CT7-5A2 engine and a Dowty Rotol 4 Bladed Composite propeller
Premium Aviation terminology Aerodynamics
An airplane or aeroplane (informally plane) is a powered fixed-wing aircraft that is propelled forward by thrust from a jet engine or propeller. Airplanes come in a variety of sizes‚ shapes‚ and wing configurations. The broad spectrum of uses for airplanes includes recreation‚ transportation of goods and people‚ military‚ and research. Most airplanes are flown by a pilot on board the aircraft‚ but some are designed to be remotely or computer-controlled. Etymology and usage First attested in

Aerodynamics is a branch of dynamics concerned with studying the motion of air‚ particularly when it interacts with a solid object. Aerodynamics is a subfield of fluid dynamics and gas dynamics‚ with much theory shared between them. Aerodynamics is often used synonymously with gas dynamics‚ with the difference being that gas dynamics applies to all gases. EARLY IDEAS Humans have been harnessing aerodynamic forces for thousands of years with sailboats and windmills.[1] Images and stories of flight
