In case of emergency, every animal needs a way to escape or defend themselves. Owls have better mechanisms that ostriches for defense and catching food. Owls and ostriches are two drastically different animals and they both have different ways of hunting, eating, and getting away from predators. Everything about these two creatures is different, for good reason. An ostrich is made for running fast in the deserts and plains and various places, while the owl is made for flying high and soaring to…

A crew of African American pilots in the Tuskegee training program, having faced segregation while kept mostly on the ground during World War II, are called into duty under the guidance of Col. A.J.

Urbanized Eagles American Bald Eagles have been sighted in many areas of Houston and the Gulf Coast. I call them urbanized eagles. Some photographers may select to use computer software to remove the trash in the photographs. I try to capture the moment and these photographs reflect the truth of that moment. William L. Morris III Flight Witnessing the American Bald Eagles in flight is an awesome sight. Capturing the moments of an eagle in flight requires patience. One of my…

A counter-drone program in California, named the Black Dart, demonstrates the apprehensiveness of the Department of Defense when it comes to drones. Navy Commander David Zook stated that "Small manned and unmanned aircraft have always been hard to find…it's hard to tell the difference in the radar cross section from that and other small airborne vehicles or even birds." (Ferdinando, par. 5). The project officer for Black Dart Air Force Major Scott Gregg said that…

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…

In addition to all the mentioned issues another problem that needs to be solved considering drone security, is the ability of drones to crash and collide with other aircrafts. One of the major issues that need to be dealt with is the fact that drones crash a lot. For instance, in the article “The Drones Come Home” on page 7, John Horgan suggests the possible security risks domestic drones present, and supports the reasons through statistics. Horgan points out that “Since 2001, according to the…

of the French company Aerospatiale Matra, its German competitor DASA and its Spanish pair CASA, the group has managed to develop a strong expertise in a large range of complementary businesses, such as commercial aircraft, military and defence equipment, helicopters, communication systems, missiles, satellites and related services. Reorganised in January 2014, the group is composed of three divisions: Airbus, Airbus Helicopters (formerly Eurocopter), and Airbus Defence and Space (merger of the…

sucked into the engine air intakes during takeoffs and landings, thanks to its engines and their air intakes being mounted far from the surface of the runway. In addition to its robust structure and tough landing gear, this makes A-10 the perfect aircraft to deploy in such a location. As the long abandoned airfield had no control tower, lightning or runway markings anymore, the deployment was supported by a Combat Controllers (CCT) team from the 321st Special Tactics Squadron, which…

cost. Drones have been used since WWI and have developed greatly throughout recent years. The first drones in WWI would be catapulted to their destinations however this process would rarely work because it would either crash on takeoff or would have system failures. The use of drones was expanded on in WWII but they were not much better than their earlier types. These drones were manned by…
