The Civil Aeronautics Board was established in 1938 by none other than the Civil Aeronautics Act. This act gave power to the Civil Aeronautics Board, or CAB, to regulate the airline industry. This regulation has been the most impactful decision possibly ever in the industry. Since then, the airline industry has been regulated, deregulated, and is facing the possibility of reregulation. Each change has benefits and disadvantages that affect all of those involved with the aviation industry. With…

Edgar Wright is a really great director who knows how to make people laugh. He is known for his Comedic Cornetto Trilogy, and the movies I will be talking about are “Shaun of the Dead”, and “Hot Fuzz” are the two of them. The scenes display the kind of style he uses in the films, and by using film techniques it helps show the style by how effective it is. Techniques such as music, sound effects, camera work e.g close ups, mid shots, and characters. Wright uses these techniques to grab people’s…

symbolism to reveal the motive and killer. Throughout, three specific characteristics within the house uncover the truth behind Mr. Wright’s death. The symbolism that Glaspell used creates a mystery that can only be solved if every line is read. Mrs. Wrights quilt, dirty kitchen, and dead song bird all guide the reader towards the mental abuse and sadness she went through. The two women, Mrs. Hale and Mrs. Peter’s piece together the small uncertainties and trifles they find within the stale,…

Summary Before the Wright Brothers by Don Berliner tells how 13 scientists experiment with flight. From jumping off a hill and gliding to the bottom, to flying over 600 feet all within about 100 years. Most of the scientists provided good information of flight but then Otto Lilienthal built gliders that improve to fly better. Later in 1896 he flew his glider then crashed and died. None of the scientists could figure out how to control the aircraft. Until Gustave Whitehead who had the first…

“Delta 1541, Cleared for takeoff.” These are the words every aviation enthusiast wants to hear. The ability to soar into the sky at lightning fast speeds is an incredible feat. To me aviation is not just a hobby, but instead aviation has been what I have dedicated my life to. Aviation has been both a passion and an interest of mine for the better half of 12 years. Stemming from these enthusiasms is how my personality has formed and has molded into the person I am today. My premier exposure to…

Notes of a Native Son are composed of James Baldwin’s thoughts and views of when he was 19-years-old during, WWII and the Harlem Riot of 1943. Baldwin’s Notes of a Native Son are centered around racism and hatred towards his father, which are the main topics of his writing. James Baldwin is the main character of the story and he uses stream of consciousness to voice his thought process during times like his father’s funeral or when he’s being discriminated against for being African American.…

Hughes had been interested in aviation long before his father’s death. The Hughes family was known for their engineering background; and growing up Hughes Jr. would take things apart and put them back together. Before the age of twelve, Hughes built Houston’s first radio transmitter and a motorized bicycle. And by the age of fourteen, Hughes started taking flying lessons. One day Hughes Sr. and Jr. were at a Harvard-Yale boat race. Hughes Sr. promised Jr. anything he would like if Harvard won…

The Wright brothers’ inventing the airplane paved the way for air travel in America. Because of this event, America saw a new way of transportation. “It was there, on December 17, 1903, their airplane soared for 12 seconds, traveling 120 feet [...] before landing” (Nelson). The Wright brothers created a whole new business for aviation for America when they “achieved the first manned flight of a power-driven, heavier-than-air machine” (“The Airplane”). This made all of America open their eyes…

Drones. Helicopters. Quadcopters. They all have to do with aerospace engineering. The first quadcopter was made in 2008 (Brain,2015). Aerospace engineering is a great career pathway for people who enjoy spacecraft and aircraft. Some questions people have about aerospace engineering are; “What is aerospace engineering? How can you become an aerospace engineer? What are a couple good colleges to go to for aerospace engineering? Why do people want to become aerospace engineers?” All of these…

The Fathers of Modern Aviation were born in the heart of the American Midwest in 1867 and 1871. Their names were Orville and Wilbur Wright, two brothers that would go on to build and fly the first airplane. Their parents, Milton and Susan, were of English and German ancestry. Orville and Wilbur were just two of the seven children born into the Wright family. Orville was the second youngest and Wilbur was born just before him. Orville was quite mischievous in school and often got in trouble,…
