Glider aircraft

Medical support in the army air forces was essential in WW2. Inventions such as the G-suit countered the effects of physiological effects of G-forces that are experienced during high speed maneuvers.” From 1941 to 1943, most volunteer doctors in the AAF worked as aviation medical examiners, giving physical and mental examinations to candidates for skilled flying jobs as pilots, navigators, bombardiers, and aerial gunners” (Nanney,pg.7) ‘The first large scale aeromedical evacuation consisted of…

: In a true act of heroism, Navy Blue Angel pilot died reportedly maneuvering his aircraft away from an apartment building before it crashed. Article: On the same day, two jets from the military's premier flight, demonstration squadrons, the Blue Angels and Thunderbirds, crashed. One pilot survived, but the other died reportedly maneuvering his aircraft away from an apartment building before it crashed. Now some are asking are these elite fighter jets a threat to safety, and should they be…

After the trial the Lindbergh’s and their son traveled to France and Germany to tour their air bases. While staying in Germany, a man named Hermann Goering awarded Lindbergh the German Medal of Honor because the aircraft in Nazi area Germany had fascinated Lindbergh. Many Americans saw this as a support for Nazism. During World War 2 Lindbergh and his family returned to the United States and started an anti-war organization. Charles Lindbergh wrote many speeches…

Drones started about ten years ago in February of 2002. They were first used to track other people and also unknown places that might have missiles or other heavy equipment. The CIA were the first people to use the first drone. THat means the military didn’t make it. The CIA was the first people to work with the drones and make changes to them as years passed. The first person to make the first drone was Reginald Denny. He served in the military. The war he served in was World War 1. He said he…

After reading both of the stories “Uncle Marcos” and “To Fly” and looking through them, going through the details I have in my own opinion that “To Fly” has the best information and description rather than a more fictional story. I see in the story in the text that it describes flying as it has transformed the way we do things differently such as exploration, our perspective on things in the world, and we always had flying set as an achievement. I have a few reasons as to how I think “To Fly”…

Jet engines are commonly known to be on various aircraft. Whether it be an airplane or a rocket, jet engines are what allow these aircraft to fly through the air at tremendous speeds. In 1926, Frank Whittle had to write a thesis in order to graduate from officer training. Whittle chose his thesis topic to be over the future of aviation. In his paper, he discussed that with the way planes were gaining thrust, which was by propellers, the planes would never be able to fly higher than twenty…

It gives it the aerodynamic shape, it carries a share of the loads, it helps to carry torsional loads, it acts as fuel tanks and allows inspection and maintenance. Using the skin to carry part of the loads is called stressed skin. Almost all aircraft have their wing structure made entirely in metal, or a mixture of metal and composite. The skin may be fixed to the internal structure by rivets or bonding. The volume between the spars is often used for storing fuel. An alternative to attaching…

Cirrus vs Cessna Flying a Cessna is great experience. Flying a Cirrus is a spectacular experience. Although both of these are aircrafts that do the same thing, they are very different. Technology has come a long way in aviation and especially in the new 2017 cirrus. Comparing to the 1970’s Cessna’s which is the common aircrafts flown right now, there has been a huge noticeable difference in design and innovation. One of many differences in the Cirrus compared to the Cessna, is the avionics.…

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…
