Flight

“Delta 1541, Cleared for takeoff.” These are the words every aviation enthusiast wants to hear. The ability to soar into the sky at lightning fast speeds is an incredible feat. To me aviation is not just a hobby, but instead aviation has been what I have dedicated my life to. Aviation has been both a passion and an interest of mine for the better half of 12 years. Stemming from these enthusiasms is how my personality has formed and has molded into the person I am today. My premier exposure to…

could end in a catastrophe. An upcoming and possible solution to the issue could be NextGen Network Enabled Weather (NNEW).NNEW works by providing an integrated weather picture to pilots predicting possible weather patterns likely to show up in their flight. In addition, it would relay the…

Deep bonding with flights I developed as a toddler. The flights’ landing and takeoff, I watched curiously when I was waiting in the airport launch for boarding Lufthansa flight to India. Fading of sawing noise as the plane disappeared in the sky during takeoff and puffs of smoke from the wheel as they touched the ground on landing captivated me.

cleared to take off on runway 28.” "Roger, we are rolling on runway 28, Cherokee 952.” I always wanted to fly since I was young. When I was seventeen, I got myself into the world of flight. Stepping into aviation needed a lot of preparation, and I spent a long and dedicated year to prepare myself. I applied to a flight school after I immigrated to America; however, I was rejected because of my language ability and physical fitness. In the following year, I worked hard on English in school,…

different pioneers that have contributed in some way to our present day knowledge of aviation. The two people that I think contributed the most to aviation are the Wright brothers. They were able to be the first successful people to create a controlled flight of a power driven airplane. This completely changed the game in aviation. It taught others new and safer techniques on how to fly. During this time they were at the top in aviation. They both became very successful in their business…

Ornithopter The Human-Power Ornithopter, a wing-flapping device, was designed in 1485 with the intent to fly. However, there is no evidence that he attempted to build the machine, but his ideas of human powered flight device followed for the next several hundred years. His inspiration came from birds or bats, which lead to the two-wing device feature. The wingspan exceeded 33 feet and the frame consisted of pine covered in raw silk, which is light but sturdy. The pilot, laying down in the…

During flight, many pathogens come on board with the passengers such as: Influenza, Sars (Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome), Tuberculosis, H1N1(Swine Flu), Meningococcal disease, and Ebola. “Wang referenced two cases of these viruses spreading on a plane, with the H1N1 flu virus spreading it to 17 other travelers and Sars spreading to 22 passengers” (McGuire). One passenger with H1N1 spread to 17 people in that flight and was spread to 22 people during that flight even though the…
