Fighter aircraft

Throughout his childhood, he had longed to be involved with the young and growing aviation industry. With very little to no experience in designing aircraft or understanding the science behind flight, he began to do incredible feats of courage and motivation. From testing the use of machine guns on airplanes to winning race with an airplane with three working pistons instead of four, Tony Jannus’ reputation…

One of the planes that the ship had had was a fighter plane, which had two guns on the front and one in the back for the passenger to defend the backside of the plane with. The biggest and baddest plane on the USS Yorktown was a carrier plane that flew up to one hundred twenty-five people at one time…

It was believed to be said that the Tuskegee Airmen never lost a bomber due to enemy fire, a statement made in the film by a bomber pilot. This claim is historically inaccurate due to…

These aircraft were used as prototypes for the “Dash 80” which was in turn the prototype of the commercial 707. The B-47 Stratojet was a turbojet engine strategic bomber aircraft that first flew in 1947. Many elements of its design formed the foundation for a large scale jet transport aircraft (Boeing 367-80 Jet Transport). While most planes at the time were straight wing, both of these military aircraft had a swept wing and tail angle design of 35 degrees…

locating and identifying logistical support areas and major supply routes (MSR). There were significant issues with the existing airframes and camera systems as they were susceptible to vibration and covered very limited areas directly below the aircraft at NADIR or offset to slight angles. Other issues which limited the full utility of aerial reconnaissance was the limited range of…

authority very serious and he became a student pilot being trained by the aviation pioneer Glenn Curtis (Miller). He chose to pursue this interest at his own expense paying $1470 for training (Miller). On his first solo flight Mitchell flipped the aircraft upside down while landing, this won him the honor of having this maneuver named the “Mitchell” (Miller). This experience benefitted Billy because in 1917 the War Department wanted an aviator observer in Europe to report on the war in…

What Aerospace Engineers do (504 words) Aerospace engineers are individuals who use technology to create, model and test mechanisms such as aircraft, and spacecraft. This type of Engineer works to improve the technology of space exploration, defense systems and so on. In the aeronautical field you could be working on a project to send people into outer space or working on projects that could be working with the latest ground and sea transportation. When working in aeronautics this type of…
