509th Bomb Wing

The mere mention of martyrdom may arouse an array of reactions because of its association with killing, violence and/or death in everyone who is familiar with the practice; and although martyrdom is not limited to any person, religion, or society and often, we find ourselves faced with a moral dilemma. But at what cost, are we willing to sacrifice in order to be happy and/or to find what we consider true happiness? Many like to say true happiness is dependent upon various circumstances and/or…

afterwards one sees things previously taken for granted. Magical Realism was created by two South American authors, Marquez and Borges. Marquez is also the author of A Very Old Man with Enormous Wings, so it makes sense that he wrote about a literary classification he helped create. A Very Old Man with Enormous Wings is a clear example of Magical Realism; it is shown through the plot, as well as the character’s actions. No matter how unreal or unbelievable the situation seemed, the entire town…

Once in a land far far away lived a fairy named Freya. Freya was a special fairy not because she had powers but because she only had one wing. Being born with only one wing unheard of in the land of Blossom City. Living with one wing did not affect Freya as a child because she did not know anything different. It was normal for her to have just a wing even if everyone else had two. It did start to have an impact on Freya when she started to get older. There were other fairies who would make fun…

propellers, legs, etc. Nobody can precisely tell the origin of mankind’s desire to fly as it is lost in the distant past. There are legends of people strapping birdlike wings and jumping of a tower. People even tried to strap themselves to a kit in order to try flying. Some primitive designs include the Chinese rotor wings, hot air balloon and Leonardo Da Vinci’s ornithopter. The hot air balloons made up of paper were…

been studied (Vielmeter, 1954) will be used to determine which basking method Danaus plexippus utilize often and to figure out which basking posture is favored to keep the specie warm. Time where the butterfly spends basking in the sun, as well as wing position will be recorded to determine the heat transfer…

Teacher: Mrs.Estep Class: Honors Physical Science Period: 4th By: Ethan Haas Airplane Experimentation Introduction: I am doing my project and research on how far you can get an airplane to go. There are many possible ways to improve the airplane's flight length. In the next…

Determining the effect of the mass on the drop time of a parachute Introduction and hypothesis The drop time of a parachute is dependent on multiple factors. Apart from mass, there is the obvious height, area of the parachute and other external factors such as wind. Mass is one of the main effectors of the drop time of a parachute, which can be proven through Newton’s second law, F=ma (Force=mass*acceleration). Rearranged, this gives a=F/m, where acceleration can also be gravity, if falling down…

The drag depends linearly on the shape and size of the object moving through the air. The object’s cross-sectional shape determines the form drag which is created by the pressure variation around the object and affects the induced drag of the lifting wing. The surface roughness of the object also affects the amount of drag. The material with smooth and waxed surface will produce less drag than a material with roughened surface. This skin friction effect is included in the measure…

helps the plane move up due to the air that moves under and over the wings. Drag force makes the paper airplane slow down because the air pushes back against the plane. Gravity is the force that pulls the plane down. There were many factors that influenced the flight and speed of the plane. One factor that greatly affected the flight and speed of the plane was the design/wing surface area of the plane. The surface area of the wings of the plane needed to be firm and stable in order for the plane…

definition of the word “fly” is “moving through the air with wings” which he does not do by himself, and the laws of aviation also is consider to why he can not fly. Let's get more into detail on why I say he can not fly . One reason I believe he can not fly is because he uses props to keep him falling to the ground. First he bounced into a ball that throws him to the air, then he stands on top of a moving toy car, and finally he gets his “wings” stuck…
