Aerial Combat How it has affected the war and its outcome‚ or was changed by it: - Key tasks that aircrafts could perform were discovered‚ experimented with‚ and refined: observation and reconnaissance‚ tactical and strategic bombing‚ ground attack‚ and naval warfare. - Importance and influence of aircraft grew and the need to control the air arose. - The war fostered the general public’s respect for aviation - Spawned a new generation of pilots and aircraft designers‚ who would go on

is considered as a modern application of the above listed fields of interests. This research presents the design of a quadcopter with the motor‚ propeller selections and balancing mechanical structure and the implementation of the control system. The control design of the quadcopter is decided to be different from the common design‚ giving two propeller power at a given single motion. The control system is powered by a dsPIC microcontroller‚ the onboard range detectors‚ gyroscopes and accelerometers

challenging. We encountered some problems but worked them out just fine. One of them was our propeller. We just couldn’t seem to get it right. At first it was too small‚ and then too long. So we went with the smaller one and changed the rubber band. Our sticks at the end were a little flimsy so we had to add thicker wood to the end to strengthen it. We could have improved it by making it less heavy and making our propeller the exact size we needed. In the end it all worked out and we got second place!

other small plane. A Rotax 914‚ four-cylinder‚ four-stroke‚ 101-horsepower engine‚ the same engine type commonly used on snowmobiles‚ turns the main drive shaft. The drive shaft rotates the Predator’s two-blade‚ variable-pitch pusher propeller. The rear-mounted propeller provides both drive and lift. The remote pilot can alter the pitch of the blades to increase or decrease the altitude of the plane and reach speeds of up to 135 mph (120 kts). There is additional lift provided by the aircraft’s 48.7-foot

hydrogen which is elongated or streamlined to enable easy passage through the air‚ these Airships could reach speeds up to 10mph with a 5hp steam engine propeller. The first successful airship was that of the French engineer and inventor Henri Giffard‚ who constructed in 1852 a cigar-shaped‚ non-rigid gas bag 44 m (143 ft) long‚ driven by a screw propeller rotated by a 2.2-kw (3-hp) steam engine. He flew over Paris at a speed of about 10 km/hr (about 6 mph). Giffard’s airship could be steered only in

INTRODUCTION A. Background of the Study A wind turbine is a device that converts kinetic energy from the wind‚ also called wind energy‚ into mechanical energy in a process known as wind power. If the mechanical energy is used to produce electricity‚ the device may be called a wind turbine or wind power plant. If the mechanical energy is used to drive machinery‚ such as for grinding grain or pumping water‚ the device is called a windmill or wind pump. Similarly‚ it may be referred to as a wind
