New study area This week I have learned more about the interior part of the aircraft which is the cabin layout in most aircraft . Seats are frequently equipped with further amenities. Airline seats may be equipped with a reclining mechanism for increased passenger comfort‚ either reclining mechanically or electrically (usually in long-haul first class and business class). Most aircraft also feature trays for eating and reading‚ either in the seatback which folds down to form a small table

What Are Aircraft? Everyone has seen a jet streaking across the sky leaving a trail of vapor as it goes. Maybe you have heard the distinct thud‚ thud‚ thud as a helicopter slows in its descent. You have probably marveled at a plane so massive that it seems to just hang in the air by some invisible force. These wonderful marvels of human engineering have captured the hearts of many. They are known the world over as aircraft. But what is an aircraft? Aircraft’s are comprised of many different things

ERAST programme develops pilotless solar powered airplane technology. The HELIOS construction is based upon its predecessors like NASA’s solar plane Pathfinder‚ which was successfully tested a few years prior to HELIOS. Due to its speed HELIOS was able to fly over the same spot for days or weeks‚ therefore‚ in the future such aircrafts could substitute communication

looking into history. Studying the airplanes of the World Wars will reveal their function‚ effectiveness‚ and inform about the pilots who flew them. The aircraft for World War I (WWI)‚ and their purpose‚ greatly differed from those in World War II (WWII). Their value was defined by the author R. G. Grant‚ who said‚ “The principle role of aircraft in World War I was to support the armies in the trenches.” Basically‚ the army on the ground was viewed as the primary fighting force of the war‚ not airplanes

AGING AIRCRAFT: STRUCTURAL FAILURE Introduction 1. The term ‘Aging Aircraft’ generally applies to the aircraft getting older in its operational service. An aircraft begins to ‘Age’ as soon as it first flies and various effects begin to occur. However‚ the term is usually applied to the issues which can begin to arise as the time-since-new becomes significant. Aircraft design methodologies and approved maintenance schedules take account of the effects of the continued use of aircraft. Non Destructive

Transportation of Cargo on Passenger Aircraft Embry Riddle Aeronautical University Abstract This paper provides information into the lack of aviation security with regard to cargo transported on passenger aircraft. Passengers and their luggage traveling on aircraft are subject to screening‚ security searches and body scanning prior to boarding. However‚ the cargo loaded may not have been inspected‚ allowing for potential security vulnerabilities to be exploited. Currently international flights

1 Contemporary Methods of Aircraft Construction and Design The construction of aircraft is a complicated process requiring precise calculation and innovative design in order to improve and maintain the structural integrity of the aircraft. Aerospace engineers must find a balance between reliability‚ strength and weight of the many components used in the fabrication of the aircraft. The design of an aircraft must take into account the magnitude of forces‚ such as lift and drag‚ acting upon the

Executive Summary Goodrich Company was suspected of publishing falsified qualification report of its new-designed aircraft brake for the A7D. Kermit Vandiveer‚ a data analyst and technical writer in Goodrich‚ was ordered by the executives to issue a false qualification report. Initially‚ Vandiveer refused and got support from his supervisor. However‚ under the pressure he had to offered artificial graphic presentation in the report. After the failing flight test‚ Vandiveer disclosed the misconduct
