Jet airliner

a critical role. Airframes, avionics, the use of turboprop and jet engines were all introduced during the war. This war caused a huge push towards modern aviation today, and started a golden age for airplanes, which occurred in the 1950’s. In World War II planes such as bombers, fighters, and reconnaissance were used greatly as a tool to win the war and have the edge over the enemy. Even aircraft such as blimps,. gliders and even jets war used majorly in WW2. Germany and Japan launched their…

The 747, defined by Wikipedia, is “A wide-body commercial airliner and cargo transport aircraft, often referred to by its original nickname, Jumbo Jet, or Queen of the Skies.” From the 747’s design, to its fuselage, and its wings and engine, the Boeing 747 is truly a geometric plane. The Boeing 747-100B has a very detailed design. It’s original design included a double decked fuselage (body) with 8 seats across on the lower deck and 7 seats across for the upper deck. Though, this idea was…

The military was on full alert once the announcement came out regarding the towers being destroyed by jets. The North American Air Defense Command (NORAD) had been notified regarding American Airlines Flight 77, but did not send any pilots up in the air until several minutes after. According to Victor Thorn, author of “Who Commanded our Air Force to 'Stand…

1st, 2001. While I was reading this article I learned that the twin towers were designed to withstand a 150 year storm or an attack such as something like 9/11. With this being said, there could have been no way that just the jet fuel could have melted the steel beams, the jet fuel could have weakened them but it certainly wasn’t enough to melt them and cause the building to collapse the way that they did. Another fact that I found out was that people inside the building actually heard bombs…

Southwest and Delta are shown in the defensive category. Ries and Trout give three principles to effective defensive warfare. The first principle is for only leaders should play defensively. This is especially important when two leaders are identical in market share. An attack from an opposing airline would quickly send one opponent into offense. After all, each competitor’s market share is shifting and today’s leader may not be the leader next year when companies like Southwest and Delta remain…

Throughout human history, people have dreamed of flying. Leonardo Da Vinci drew images of flying contraptions, the Montgolfier brothers invented the hot air balloon, and George Cayley invented the first glider. But, humanity had yet to achieve man-controlled flight until 1903. Two brothers, who developed their mechanical passions through a bicycle shop, opened up the world to a new realm of airborne possibilities. The Wright brothers were the first to make the dream of flight a reality. The…

CACQ Qantas is the world’s second oldest airline, and this is due to the four hubs located in Sydney, 2 Melbourne, Brisbane and Perth.

thirty-five feet above the ground, but luckily, my legs had never broken free of my unicycle's pegs. I engaged the stabilizing rocket boosters on my unicycle to combat against the tumbling motion I was set into. After it was stabilized, I engaged the jet propulsion system, but when I tried to turn it off, my efforts were futile, for the switch was stuck. The unicycle reached an unimaginable…

An aviation enthusiast once said "Aviation is proof that given the will we can do the impossible" Eddie Rickenbacker. This quote comes from a man that served our country as an American Fighter Ace in World War 1. He had twenty-six aerial victories and he earned the Medal of Honor for being the best ace in the war. We still have to give credit to the first founders of aviation because without them we wouldn 't be where were are today. Aviation still consists of some of the technologies that were…

clear… War. Suddenly, there are enlistment signs on every corner. And some of the most extraordinary inventions were born from the massacre that ensued in the following years. Today, so many people take things for granted. Like, the microwave oven, jet…
