cleared to take off on runway 28.” "Roger, we are rolling on runway 28, Cherokee 952.” I always wanted to fly since I was young. When I was seventeen, I got myself into the world of flight. Stepping into aviation needed a lot of preparation, and I spent a long and dedicated year to prepare myself. I applied to a flight school after I immigrated to America; however, I was rejected because of my language ability and physical fitness. In the following year, I worked hard on English in school,…

“Ladies and gentlemen, please take your seats and fasten your seatbelts, we will be departing shortly.” I find myself clutching my seat's armrests as the plane begins to move down the runway. I await the turbulence signaling the plane’s flight, my eyes glued to the window on my left, witnessing the ground getting further and further away. The thrill finally comes, the adrenaline coursing through my body as the plane takes off into the sky, and soon my surroundings are nothing but clouds, pure…

On February 12, 2009, Colgan Air Flight 3407 experienced a stall warning during its final approach into Buffalo International Airport. The two pilots responded by pitching up the airplane without applying maximum engine power. This mishandling of stall warning induced the airplane to stall. The airplane crashed into a residential area, killing 49 persons on board and 1 on the ground. The airplane that crashed in this accident was a Bombardier Aerospace Q400. The Q400 is a twin-engine airliner…

The ability to fly has been available for many generations. The first flight by man was by Wilbur and Orville Wright. Even though it only lasted for a few seconds, flight has made life easier. Now, airplanes can transport people and goods over large bodies of water and land, and even make war easier (and harder) to win. With flight, lives have been changed, and the four forces, angle of attack, Bernoulli's Principle, and lift come to work when an airplane flies! There are four forces that…

different pioneers that have contributed in some way to our present day knowledge of aviation. The two people that I think contributed the most to aviation are the Wright brothers. They were able to be the first successful people to create a controlled flight of a power driven airplane. This completely changed the game in aviation. It taught others new and safer techniques on how to fly. During this time they were at the top in aviation. They both became very successful in their business…

about the history of it and Puerto Rico, and finally, we finished off our day in San Juan looking out into the crystal clear ocean at a beautiful sunset. After that, we headed back to the hotel, I had about 2 hours left before having to leave for my flight. Consequently, we decided to just chill out talk and play some card games, and we had a great time. Finally that time had come, in which we had to part ways, it was very emotional because I had gotten really close to my cousins and I knew…

Ever since I was just a youngster I have always had a fascination with airplanes. When I took my first trip on an airplane I was really uneasy about it. Then they brought me into the cockpit and let me see all the instruments and we talked about how planes worked. My fears all turned into fascinations and I realized how relaxing being in the air really was. After that I was almost sure that I wanted to get involved with planes. I found out about a program that could help me become more involved…

air” (Brown). During flight, many pathogens come on board with the passengers such as: Influenza, Sars (Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome), Tuberculosis, H1N1(Swine Flu), Meningococcal disease, and Ebola. “Wang referenced two cases of these viruses spreading on a plane, with the H1N1 flu virus spreading it to 17 other travelers and Sars spreading to 22 passengers” (McGuire). One passenger with H1N1 spread to 17 people in that flight and was spread to 22 people during that flight even though the…

vehicle is more advanced than the Husban X4 and comes with a camera capable of shooting high quality photos as well as videos. The Parrot Bebop has a number of sensors that help you in flying it in a more controlled manner. To control the movements and flight of this machine, you can use the FreeFlight 3 app which is available on all major platforms and is extremely easy to use. Top Race Micro F22 Stunt Fighter Jet…

gain. From the stolen blueprints, they were able to create a better aircraft that was able to fly 1,060 mph and reach roughly 15,500 feet in altitude. Astonishingly, out of the Avro Arrows 120 built, only one survives, though unable to make another flight. These jets had their beginnings when engineers continued to build stronger, better aircrafts for the oncoming war. Unbeknownst to a group of engineers, the government was well on their way to creating their aircrafts,…
