The first few pieces of debris that was found is, “A piece of aircraft wing found on an island off Tanzania in June came from the missing Malaysia Airlines Flight 370, Australian investigators said.” “ Malaysia Airlines flight 370 disappeared on March 8, 2014. As of October 2016, authorities have definitively linked three pieces of debris to the plane, while four other pieces are believed to "almost certainly" come from the missing aircraft “. But not only did they find parts of the plane but,…

In, “A Solemn Warning to Wingsuit Flyers” the author, Lola Jones, explains how a very intelligent man was able to improve wingsuit flying. The man’s name was Geoffrey Robson. He worked hard his whole life to get where he was. He was a qualified mechanical engineer and mathematician who combined that with wingsuit flying. Robson did end up dying doing what he loved, which was wingsuit flying. “You can’t cross the sea merely by standing and staring at the water.” I feel this quote goes perfectly…

Everybody wants to fly one day and Wilbur Wright and Orville Wright made that a possibility.They took flight on December,17,1903 where their lives changed. Wilbur was born in Millville,Indiana on April,16,1867 he was the first child in his family.His brother Orville Wright was brother and 2nd child of the Wright family. Where they moved to Dayton,Ohio where they grew up to work in their bicycle shop.Where they worked with their sister and his other brothers worked their to earn money. When the…

World War 1 aircrafts have been a major, progressing, factor in not only the U.S. but all over the world. Over the century, aircrafts have helped transport anything from mail, people, animals, and even food, to different places all over the world. Flying has made transportation faster, easier, and all around better. Of course there has been a few mishaps along the evolution of flying but modern technology, a better understanding, and better training have brought the pilots and their aircrafts a…

blueprints, they were able to create a better aircraft that was able to fly 1,060 mph and reach roughly 15,500 feet in altitude. Astonishingly, out of the Avro Arrows 120 built, only one survives, though unable to make another flight. These jets had their beginnings when engineers continued to build stronger, better aircrafts for the oncoming war. Unbeknownst to a group of engineers, the government was well on their way to creating their aircrafts,…

Paper planes Will more weight of the paper airplane affect how far it flies. Throwing paper plane. How paper planes get affected in the air. How to make paper planes fly better. If I put more weight on the paper plane than it won’t fly as far. How to throw the paper airplane better. The way you throw the paper plane will affect the flight of the plane. Don’t throw it too hard, but also not too soft, throw it almost like a football. Throwing the paper plane up at 15-degree angle to make it fly…

Some of the greatest improvements in both the technologies and strategies involved in aviation took place in the period of time between the end of WWI and the end of WWII. “Forgotten Progress: The Development of Close Air Support Doctrine Before World War II” explains that the greatest developments in aviation was not in the technology, but instead in the strategies. The article “The Tu-4: The Travails of Technology Transfer by Imitation” focuses on the Soviet Union’s improvements in aviation,…

Wright Brothers, Invention of the airplaneHow exactly were the Wright Brothers successful? On August 19, 1871, in Dayton, Ohio, two men Orville and Wilbur Wright were born. Orville and Wilbur Wright made many inventions, but their biggest would have to be when they invented the first plane, which skyrocketed their fame. The invention of the plane was a great invention, and changed humanity as we know it. When they invented the plane, it wasn’t all that easy, it took many tries, and hard work,…

80%. This EA is being created to establish a set of guidelines for when it is necessary replace these rubstrips. By creating this EA, it will allow us to also start creating wear limits on these rubstrips. This EA affects all s-CAL and s-UA 777 aircraft. Action Operation 1: Determining the wear on the rubstrip located on engine 1 1. Gain access to where the fairing and strut meet 2. Locate and identify the rubstrips 3. Measure any wear found on these rubstrips 4. If…

the first successful airplane design. As the only sustained, controlled, heavier-than-air, human flight of the time, it was groundbreaking. Furthermore, their three-axis control became and remains the standard steering system on various fixed-wing aircrafts. Their basic design would be developed into the much-more-practical Wright Flyer III. However, large scale usage of aviation technology would not be observed until World War One. At the time, militaries around the world saw little potential…
