Jones, who championed the idea that flight surgeons should fly on a regular basis “to better understand the physiologic consequences of flight.” (History of Flight Medicine) From these beginnings, medical professionals have been included in all aerospace milestone, from Col. Chuck Yeager’s flight to break the sound barrier to the extensive medical staff at NASA that prepares every astronaut for space flight. Were it not for the information gained and shared from the early experimetns, one could…

One of the most famous aviation companies in the world, Boeing has a long and storied history which few other businesses can equal. The first origins of Boeing came in 1910, when William E. Boeing bought the first airplane factory for his eventual company, The Boeing Company. In 1917, the company helped develop aircraft for World War I. From the 1920s to the 1930s, the company successfully sold numerous aircraft designs to the U.S. Military, which is still does to this day. Prior to and during…

Men earn more money than women—or do they? This statement depends completely upon how one reads and evaluates the information and facts. Years ago, the earth was thought to be flat. Upon basic observation, that theory makes perfect sense. When examined closer, thoroughly, and scientifically, the flat-earth theory was debunked. This scenario can be paralleled to other theories and ideas, like the gender wage gap. From a broad perspective, the gender wage gap looks legitimate. Upon further…

In American society, cars play a very important role in the daily lives of Americans. According to a study completed in 2014 by the “AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety”, the average American drives for 29.2 miles per day and 10,658 miles per year (“American Driving”). Cars have become an irreplaceable part of society, and have provided many benefits, but as they have been improved upon, they have also done a lot of damage, leading some to wonder if the changes to automobiles have been positive or…

System identification is a branch of systems theory that characterizes behavior of a system through its interactions with the environment described as inputs and outputs. The relationship between the input and the output can be quantitatively described in form of a mathematical model. This description could be outlined through a parametric model which uses a group of parameters usually incorporated in a few differential equations governing the physics of the system or a non-parametric model…

Today, Elon Musk is an inventor and CEO of SpaceX, “an American aerospace manufacturer and space transport services company” (wiki) in California. Growing up, he taught himself to code and was enrolled in prestigious schools in Africa and Canada. He earned two bachelor degrees at University of Pennsylvania and just as…

and/or aircraft. Unfortunately for many, such equipment is too expensive and will remain so for the foreseeable future. But there is a new twist on an old idea coming to fruition: solar-electric airships. Solar Ship Inc. is a Toronto, Canada-based aerospace firm with a vision of what could be a life-saving solution to the transportation woes of this world, especially for the…

Long time ago space exploration was only a dream, people saw this as something impossible and far away from reality, but that dream became true. After many failures and mistakes humans were able to travel to space, as it is described by The Aerospace Corporation (n.d.) “Russian Lt. Yuri Gagarin became the first human to orbit Earth in Vostok 1. His flight lasted 108 minutes, and Gagarin reached an altitude of 327 kilometers.” This first trip opened people eyes and make them believe that there…
