The Magic Behind Skiing Nordic skiing, my passion, it is not just about the training for races. It is about the ski preparation prior to race day. The preparation for skiing, yes includes a lot of training, but the one part that separates first place from second place: the waxing. I understand it seems farfetched, but after knowing the whole process of waxing it makes sense how important it really is. When it comes to waxing first of all it depends on what kind of skis…
The Wright brothers were never really known as “heroes” among others. They didn’t go around saving people or go around using magic healing powers to bring people back from the dead. What they did do was make travel and communication a lot easier. Orville and Wilbur Wright impacted generations to come as heroes while being viewed as complete nutjobs in their time. Together, Orville and Wilbur accomplished many tasks that make life more effortless in modern times. In 1900 when the brothers…
Catapults made a big impact in the history of aircraft carriers with the long process to launch. Catapults changed the way the US Navy launched fighter planes off carriers. Without the catapult technology, and the ground crew on aircraft carriers, The U.S would have not been able to launch planes off carriers because planes didn't have enough runway to go full speed to take off. One of the most important things before launching an aircraft is the ground crew. The ground crew gives the pilot…

Stigler could have easily shot down the bomber and it's crew, but instead he escorted them past an anti-aircraft battery and flew along side them for a while out over the North Sea. Stigler knew he would be court-martialed if anyone found out what he had done. For years he wondered if the bomber had made it home safely and he wondered, "Was it worth it?". It…
By only measuring between one to one hundred nanometres and some weighing less than 10 grams makes the nano drones the smallest drones available. A nano-drone is a billion times smaller than regular drone or 〖10〗^(-9) the size. Each piece of the Nano-drones has to be designed and functioning individually before they can be pieced together to form the final product. The naked eye cannot see the drones when they are one billionth the size of their counterpart. By making the drones to look like…
The Silver Bullet When I think back about all the memories that were made in my car, the Silver Bullet, there are simply too many to list. I have spent many hours in my car and I have come to have a deep understanding for the three basic areas: the front seats, back seats, and the trunk. Each of these areas are extremely important to the makeup of the car as a whole. No matter how many different cars I have, this car will always hold a special place in my heart. The front seats are broken…
became airborne supremacy. Early uses of close air support, during World War II and Korea, utilized fixed forward weapon systems, primarily through strafing roles. While these aircraft were very effective during their conflicts, a new issue arose out of the dense foliage jungle canopies of Vietnam. Many of these newer aircraft utilized jet engine propulsion, which led to pilots struggling to identify targets, especially during multiple engagement on the same target (Ballard, 1982). Given…

As the important of aerial reconnaissance was fully realized during the war, countries found the employ of many aircraft specifically designed for the purpose of aerial…
