its technology and design that make the airplane safer‚ more efficient‚ and more comfortable. One of the main advances in technology that the 787 Dreamliner will boast is a one-piece fuselage section. This will eliminate 1‚500 aluminum sheets and between 40‚000 – 50‚000 fasteners that were used to create the fuselage on older models (Boeing). The new wing design is supposed to improve airflow and reduce drag. The new engines being designed by Rolls Royce and General Electric will provide 8% of

The Delta Wing Is a unique type of wing platform that has been part of the aviation engineering industry for many years. The Delta Wing has been used for numerous reasons. When working with delta wings‚ engineers must know that the design has both advantages and disadvantages. Through out the assignment‚ I will be using the research I have collected to identify the range of basic scientific principles and techniques relevant to the Delta Wing design and the history behind the Delta Wing.

As Boeing’s first fly-by-wire airliner‚ it has computer-mediated controls; it is also the first entirely computer-designed commercial aircraft. As of 2013‚ the 777 is produced in two fuselage lengths. The original 777-200 variant entered

AVIONICS SYSTEMS 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

In today’s commercial aviation world‚ airlines have for a long time understood the importance of flying an aircraft as economically as possible. Advances in technology have made this possible in a number of ways‚ one of which is the introduction of composite material use wherever feasible. Composite materials typically offer a weight saving of between 20 and 25% when used in place of historically manufactured components made predominantly from alloyed metals. The heavier the aircraft‚ the more fuel

I was not able to actually interview anybody for this project. My grandmother lived through WW2 but she was not old enough to remember any stories‚ details‚ or feelings. So‚ I decided to use Honor Flight Oral Stories website‚ and I was able to watch five videos. The videos I watched were of Karl and Helen Norton‚ Clarence “Bud” Schick‚ Edward Davis‚ Charlie Smith‚ and James Gau. I found the stories that these people told very interesting. Karl and Helen Norton met during the war and eventually

Aircraft Mechanics are also known as: Airframe or Power Plant Mechanics and Avionics or Aviation Technicians. As a valued and critical member of an airline’s chain of operations‚ the primary responsibility of this professional is aircraft preventive maintenance that ensures peak operation‚ performance‚ and safety. This is achieved through aircraft servicing‚ repairing‚ overhauling‚ and testing. A Mechanic performs all required maintenance and inspections of aircraft engines‚ landing gear‚ pressurized
