Fixed-wing aircraft

mechanics of airplanes improved as well as its design. However, in the design of an airplane come several different factors that must be taken into consideration. As an engineer, we pushed to come up with the finest, most creative new “thing”. For an aircraft, there are design constraints…

Aircraft technology has been constantly under refinement since the first successful flight. Fly-by-wire is the complete replacement of the mechanical linkages between the pilot's stick and the control surface actuators by electrical signal wires, which offers a convenient and logical solution to many of the control system problems associated with modern high performance aircraft and aerospace vehicles. However, there exists a strong reluctance on the part of both pilots and flight control system…

and the best of modern technology. Over the past years, many different types of fighter jets have been designed and built to fight in the sky. Below is the list of the world's best fighter jets, based on technology, performance, armament fit and aircraft specifications. F-22 Raptor The F-22 Raptor is the fifth-generation stealth fighter in the U. S. Air Force, using modern avionics, efficient engines, and low-observable technology. This fighter…

Lord of the Flies Lord of the Flies was a book written by William Golding. The theme of the story is developing order among the survivors of a plane crash. In order to do that survival plays an important role, different strengths, such as physical, mental, and survival skills are traits that the characters demonstrate in this book. If they work together they can survive, if they don’t they will not survive. In the book you will meet many different characters and personalities, the most…

I remember that exact moment. The moment where my life would change with the next step I took. Looking out the window of the airplane, I wondered how my new home, Hong Kong, would be like. So many questions were whizzing around in my head. “Will the kids at my school be nice?” “How are the teachers going to be like?” “How will I communicate with the locals there? I don’t even speak Chinese!” As the thundering roar of the plane began to fill the cabin and the safety announcements began to play, I…

To say that Wilbur and Orville created the first aircraft is not necessarily true. Gliders and hot air balloons have been around longer than airplanes. The Wright Brothers were the first person to build a "Heavier than air" aircraft. The study of aviation has seriously been studied since the 15th century. Da Vinci was the first person to seriously study aviation. He tried to copy birds with flapping wings. However, humans are not capable of that so Da Vinci created Ornithopters . Leonardo…

The Wright brothers had one heck of a life. They are two guys that will forever be remembered for their ideas and old techniques. They had a dream that they stuck with through all the failures and soon came to be the most used advance technology used today. Both of the brothers were drop outs who choose ideas over school. They made a huge impact on the world today and will always be the "fathers of aviation." If it was not for the brothers, the U.S. would be different. We might 've lost some…

Wrights are famous for.the flight would inspire more people to design and test their own flying machine. This flight would open the way for the Wrights to advance the aircraft and change designs to carry more people, go faster, fly higher. Without this flight they would not have the ability to improve their design of the aircraft, because they would not have a base to advance on a design that worked. The Wrights continued to make airplanes to sell from their family business. They sold each…

Throughout history, many inventions have been made, some successful, others not so much. A well-known invention that is used more frequently to this day would be the air-plane. This contraption flies around and can carry just about anything that is not attached to the ground. The creators of the first successful plane flight, as we all know well, are the Wright brothers, Wilber and Orville Wright. Their invention throughout time was revolutionized, even women, during this period, and took part…

Airplanes are a real tactile weapon of war now they can take on the task like recon, cargo, carry troops for long distances where the used to ride on a boat, aerial combat, many others too. The mass production of aircraft helped our country for military reasons and civil reasons. Aviation made it to where people could see the world like never before. Makes long distance travel much easier and we could now transport goods all over the world. Aviation has aided us in…
