RMS Titanic

The airships are aerospace vehicles that get most of their lifting capability from aerostatic or buoyant lift, using gases which are lighter than air. They were widely used in the first half of the 20th century, for a variety of purposes. During this period the airships were employed for military applications by the US Army performing search and patrol operations. In 1921 the US Army acquired the Italian semi-rigid airship “Roma”, the largest semi-rigid airship in the world. After its crash in…

the Titanic, it was unsinkable. The people involved in the building of the Titanic became too cocky, believing that if they said it was unsinkable, then it would be. They ignored the precautions that were told to make sure that there was an equal amount of space on the life boats as there were people on the ship, just in case the ship did sink. On April 14, 1912, over a year after the first launch date, the Titanic hit an iceberg and sank killing almost 70% of the people onboard the Titanic. …

When the Titanic collided with the iceberg, the hull steel and the rivets failed because the hull body and rivets were made by brittle materials. At extremely high speeds, the brittle fracture caused plastic deformation. The reasons of plastic deformation include low temperature, poor properties of the hull steel, and high sulphur content of the material. When the Titanic disaster happened, each of these three factors was present: The water temperature was very low, the Titanic was travelling at…

Today, May 6th, we remember the devastating tragedy from over half a century ago. It has been almost 80 years since the Nazi propaganda aircraft, the Hindenburg Zeppelin, burned and crashed taking several lives on its way down. This day, every year we remember the lives lost and the death of the largest and most magnificent aircraft ever constructed. The Hindenburg, a Nazi propaganda mission, was constructed from 1931-1936 in Germany. It completed hundreds of successful missions without…

America has been through many different tragedies in its lifetime. Three of the biggest disaster that occurred in early American history were the Triangle Shirtwaist Company fire, the sinking of the Titanic, and the flu epidemic. Many citizens have lost their lives for things like doing a job to make ends meet, being on a vacation, or even just living an everyday lifestyle, which is why these disasters had such a high impact on the American Population. It may seem like people don’t care about…

This is significant as there were a lot of changes happening during that time period as this was the time of the Russian revolution, the “unsinkable” Titanic sinking after colliding with an iceberg, two horrific world wars, and the Holocaust. Priestley tries to make Mr.Birling look injudicious by making him say ironic references on how the Titanic will never sink, which it did, or how it is impossible for another war to happen, which did end up happening in 1914. This creates a lot of dramatic…

Have you heard the story of Pearl Harbor? The Harbor that was bombed by the Japanese over 70 years ago?The 8 ships at the harbor were either sunk or damaged. Now people are exploring new ways to find information and explore the wrecks of the ships, like the SS Arizona. People are using ROVs, also known as Remotely Operated Vehicles, to explore the SS Arizona and other ships at Pearl Harbor. I definitely think that ROVs are critical for underwater research. In a different theory, people think…

travel in flight was a huge deal that everyone wanted to see. This made Germany an amazing place that was about to lead the Way in air travel. The Hindenburg was a lot bigger Than any other zeppelin it was the same length of the titanic This was like putting the titanic in the air and making It fly it was unimaginable. The Hindenburg was flying and was to land at Lakehurst new jersey. The Hindenburg was going to be the best…

n 1970, engineers from Fraoli-Blum-Yesselman Associates began a project to design the proposed Hartford Civic Center Arena. The engineers came up with a unique roof frame design they called a space roof. The 300 by 360 ft. roof frame consisted of top and bottom square grids with joints 30 feet on center, connected by diagonal bars that caused staggered nodes on the top and bottom grid bars, resembling pyramid trusses when they were finished. This non-standard design was intended to save on costs…

T he Hindenburg Disaster occurred 79 years ago today. On May 6,1937 in Lakehurst, New Jersey the world’s largest aircraft ever built caught fire and burned to the ground in seconds. The Hindenburg was a zeppelin aircraft. Zeppelins were made of helium but for some odd reason the Hindenburg was made of hydrogen, a very flammable gas. The Hindenburg was over eight-hundred feet long and carried over 2656 people across the Atlantic between Germany and New York and Rio de Janerio before the…
