Countries With The Highest Number Of Fatal Plane Crashes Air travel is considered one of the safest traveling means in the world as, considering the traffic, fewer accidents occur as compared to road travel. However, aviation accidents do occur from time to time and is considered as the most fatal. Statistically, those who survive plane crushes are few. Plane crushes are taken seriously and always followed by vigorous investigations to mitigate future crashes. Worldwide, the top ten countries…

Chapter 4: Dynamics of aircraft degradation The dynamics of the number of failures is accumulated to help predications of mechanical failures especially basing on last repairs or periodic inspections. Factors are related to procedures and the time as well as extent of maintenance being the variable under control as the methodology is applied. The aircraft system is designed with an intended or expected life period, where period refers to time units (hours) of being used. Failed state, is reached…

Mitigating Risks for Molon Labe Designs’ Side-Slip Seat Product launches fail for many reasons, but three of the main causes are: 1) Spending too much money on the development and manufacture of the product, and not enough on marketing the launch; 2) Falling in love with one’s own product and not adapting it to market priorities or educating the consumer; and 3) Not thinking through distribution (Harvard Business Review, 2011). Molon Labe has spent considerable time and resources on the…

Downtown Seattle is interesting to visit through the year there is always something different each time. Downtown Seattle is full of sight, sound and smells to enjoy in different parts of the year. Walking through downtown from far away the space needle is visible with the…

An airline’s business model is a description of the value the company delivers to targeted customers and of how it configures resources internally and externally to achieve this (Holloway (2012). Tretheway (2004) states that from 1945 to end of the 20th century, the world’s airline industry built a product that offers passengers to fly seamlessly to almost any other part of the world by purchasing a single ticket. However, to develop this product, airlines had to invest costly systems and…

Aviation developed very fast in last century. From aircrafts to drones. There are many interesting aircraft types and different usage of air vehicles. Especially some war technologies develop very well like war aircrafts.In todays conditions of war and military necessitate very devoloped aircrafts like F22 and B2. Under this circumstances wars are very hard. With today technologies aircrafts makes unbelievable things. Especially F22 Raptor and B2 aircrafts are the most devoloped war aircrafts…

The Invention of Airplane Wilbur and Orville Wright were the first American inventors to invent the airplane. On Dec. 17, 1903, the Wright brothers achieved the first powered, sustained and controlled airplane flight; they surpassed their own milestone two years later when they built, and flew the first fully practical airplane. The Wright brothers showed the world that man could fly (“Wright Brothers”). Their invention of the airplane astounded everyone; poor people, rich people, and especially…

3:1 TurboProp Engines: A turboprop is a variation of a Jet Engine which has been optimised to drive a propeller instead of a Fan blade. Aircraft’s that are fitted with a TurboProp engine are very efficient at lower airspeeds, Burn less fuel per Nautical Mile an requirer shorter distances for take off and landings. Common among many small charter airlines and freight companies is the use of turboprop engines rather than turbine or turbofan engines mainly due to the reduced costs associated with…

Gladwell makes a very interesting argument in chapter 7 of Outliers (2008). He claims that the flight crew and their inability to communicate effectively is the number one cause of plane crashes. He supports his argument with studies on different cultures and their ability to communicate with persons in authority or of higher ranks. This inability for the “second in command” to communicate with the pilot, leads to information not being heard or in some cases said, and can have a fatal outcome.…
