tragedy in Irkutsk is due only to Russian disorder: such a catastrophe could have taken place in any country and involved any aircraft. This is proved by the statistics. Hundreds of planes crash during landing or take-off claiming the lives of hundreds of passengers in many counties in Asia‚ Africa‚ Europe‚ and America. What is happening? Experts believe that today’s aircraft are designed the way that a man’s error is inevitable in an emergency situation. Obviously‚ no constructor can ackowledge the

Avionics is a term used to describe all of the electronic systems used on aircraft‚ artificial satellites and spacecraft. Avionic systems include communications‚ navigation‚ the display and management of multiple systems and the hundreds of systems that are fitted to aircraft to meet individual roles. These can be as simple as a searchlight for a police helicopter or as complicated as the tactical system for an airborne early warning platform. | | [edit]History The term avionics is

an aircraft’s main body section that holds crew and passengers or cargo. In single-engine aircraft it will usually contain an engine‚ although in some amphibious aircraft the single engine is mounted on a pylon attached to the fuselage which in turn is used as a floating hull. The fuselage also serves to position control and stabilization surfaces in specific relationships to lifting surfaces‚ required for aircraft stability and maneuverability.

corrosion damage in the lap joints of aircraft skins has become a major safety concern‚ particularly after the Aloha airlines incident. On April 28‚ 1988 a nineteen-year-old Boeing 737 aircraft‚ operated by Aloha airlines‚ lost a major portion of the upper fuselage near the front of the plane‚ in full flight at 24‚000 feet. The Aloha incident marked a turning point in the history of aircraft corrosion. In 1998‚ the combined commercial aircraft fleet operated by U.S. airlines was

TECHNICAL PAPER (FINAL): - EXTERIOR AIRCRAFT LIGHTING SYSTEMS Exterior Aircraft Lighting Systems Author: Peter Mann Abstract There are many forms of lighting on an aircraft and each has its own purpose. Aircraft lighting can be split into two distinct categories: exterior and interior. This technical paper will look at exterior aircraft lighting systems. It will examine the purposes of these exterior lighting systems‚ their implications on the aircraft as a system of systems‚ and the

The Importance of the Aircraft Carrier in Defense of the United States of America The aircraft carrier has been around in various forms since the First World War. Its emergence as the key denominator of naval power is legendary‚and its continuing prestige in this role is even yet spawning building programs among established and growing navies. The aircraft carrier is the largest and most complex of all warships and in most cases the most expensive. In addition to the cost of the ship itself
