Jet aircraft

“Well that was an enjoyably pointless trip…” I probably would have dropped the suitcase if my mentor’s bony hand hadn’t swiped it from my own and threw it into the hammock. “Ah, there was no harm in travelling in an aircraft for several hours, was there?” I pulled on a displeased frown. “No, I just missed four hours of the only three days Evra has left in the Circ!” I snipped back. Mr. Crepsley ran his hand through his hair and slumped his thin shoulders. “I am sure he did not mind,”…

Gaddafi targeted the Americans for retribution for small conflicts in the Gulf of Sidra. The Gulf of Sidra stretches from Tripoli to Benghazi. The US Navy sunk four Libyan ships and two Libyan fighter jets. Gaddafi ordered the destruction of a West German nightclub for revenge for the sunken ships. US soldiers often visited the club. Three soldiers perished while 230 sustained injuries in the attack. Because of this, President Reagan began to bomb Libya…

Introduction To understand aircraft propulsion it is important to understand the term propulsion first. Propulsion is a means of producing force required for movement of object. The propulsion system has some source of mechanical power and some means of using this power to generate force such as wheels, propellers, legs, etc. Nobody can precisely tell the origin of mankind’s desire to fly as it is lost in the distant past. There are legends of people strapping birdlike wings and jumping of a…

one to do it nonstop. Lindbergh has campaigned against the American involvement in World War two, before Japan attacked Pearl harbour in 1941. He has served as an adviser in the aviation industry from the days of the wood and wire to the supersonic jets. Lindbergh was born on February 4th, 1902 in Detroit. He grew up on a farm near Little Falls, Minn, and was the son of Charles Augustus Lindbergh Sr, who was a lawyer and his wife, whose name was Evangeline Lodge Lan. In Lindbergh’s childhood, he…

the ins and outs. The best part of it is putting it back together or solving the faults giving me a great sense of achievement. My secondary school was near the Kai Tak airport where I watched take-off and landings and listened to the roaring of the jets every day. This continued to grow my passion for flying. Many years ago after my studies in Canada, I attempted for the position however, due to the previous requirement of perfect eyesight I was turned down so I joined Cathay Pacific, renowned…

Tuskegee Airmen “The skies buzzed with the sounds of gunfire and fighter jets flying around, We advanced through enemy lines, the Soviet Union was retreating as their fighter planes kept getting taken out. The Red Angels were the cause of this. They were our fighter planes, also known as the 99th Squadron. This was a special group of black men who performed as well as us whites, it was truly amazing.” That was what it was like for the Allied Powers during World War two whenever the 99th…

for military aviation, the biplane open cockpit design of WW1 aircraft were slowly being replaced with the all metal monoplane. Aircraft progressively were being designed with retractable undercarriages for streamlining, avionics and more powerful radial engines or supercharged piston engines. These created aircraft that were able to fly much further, faster and higher than the WW1 aircraft with greater manoeuvrability. Fighter aircraft such as the Supermarine Spitfire and Hawker Hurricane…

for others. I carefully determined to pursue a prosthodontics program because of my skills as a design engineer and my desire to work with restorations and cosmetics. My responsibility as a lead engineer was to design and fabricate intricate turbine jet engine parts. The process of designing complex components demanded a deep understanding of manufacturing processes, a talent for using machining and CAD/CAM tools, precision, esthetics and creativity. My background has led me to believe that I…

To identify the preferred rotation direction, a blower performance analysis is needed. A blower is usually an enclosed multiblade rotor that compresses air to a higher discharge pressure. Blower is also known as fan, but, traditionally, blowers do not discharge air at low pressure as some fans do. Figure 1.6 – CENTRIFUGAL BLOWER Dryers use centrifugal blower, where air is radially discharged from the impeller, (or fan wheel), so turns 90° from its inlet to its outlet (Figure 1.6). Air…

the sand that made it painful to walk on. Once we pushed off the sand and began swimming it was very relaxing; the repetitive sound of the waves crashing gave me sense of comfort. The loud rawr of the jet ski was enough to wake me from my trance and flip relaxation into pandemonium. Riding the jet skis to the rhythm of the waves was a blast. We also took a ride on a luxurious yacht that brought us to an interesting…
