Wing

reason behind the designing of oblique wings. This design has been found to reduce wave drag for a supersonic aircraft and can be believed as an aerodynamic evolution to swept wings on symmetric aircraft configurations. This wing is not symmetric at supersonic speeds, but rotates about a central pivot, which allows the maximum cross sectional area perpendicular to the flow to be half that of a similar symmetric design. The…

The main argument of Wings of Defeat is that Kamikaze attack pilots were not always willing to sacrifice their lives for their country as if they don’t have minds. They were not what some people call “Crazy bombers”. Orders from their superior officers were absolute and no one could complain about when they are commanded to attack enemies with their fighters. They didn’t have a choice. This video helps us understand the truth of Kamikaze and true story of its pilots. In the video, there some…

SHEEL store was nice and big to be selling sport equipment or product and it was my first time there, so I don’t know much about them. The presentation was interesting, but some are not new to me. I know that a sport store or most store offer guarantee and services for the product in their sale and I do not trust much because before I buy something I want to make sure that it will be very useful and if not than it’s not worth to buy those services. However, I also make wrong choice and buy…

diagonal line). This creates lift because air blowing up to the wing bounces off, pushing the wing up. This is the reason why if you stick your hand out of the window of a fast moving car, your hand moves up, which is lift. The second reason is Bernoulli's Principle. As seen is F3, the principle says that if there is an increase in velocity (speed) on the top of the wing, there will be less pressure on the top too, lifting the wing up. For example, if you blow really hard on top of a piece of…

genes effecting fly behavior. We compared the courtship index between normal wild type flies to curly wing flies, FraxE flies, and flies with a change in the lilli gene. We did this by setting up normal flies in a confined space and observed the amount of time they spent courting a wild type female. We hypothesized that curly wing flies would have difficulty courting past the flapping of its wings to create a “love song”. The FraxE flies are model organisms of a mutation that causes mental…

Ornithopter The Human-Power Ornithopter, a wing-flapping device, was designed in 1485 with the intent to fly. However, there is no evidence that he attempted to build the machine, but his ideas of human powered flight device followed for the next several hundred years. His inspiration came from birds or bats, which lead to the two-wing device feature. The wingspan exceeded 33 feet and the frame consisted of pine covered in raw silk, which is light but sturdy. The pilot, laying down in the…

Capitol Mall is known for being so close to campus and having stores of everyone’s interest that demonstrate good rhetoric. Buffalo Wild Wings, relies on their company and media for advertisements. In order to show the rhetoric, I have examined articles, videos, and menus. Also, I have conducted an interview with a customer that utilizes the space often. Buffalo Wild Wings uses multiple types of advertisements to establish the business inside rhetoric. For example, in some sitting areas, there…

propellers, legs, etc. Nobody can precisely tell the origin of mankind’s desire to fly as it is lost in the distant past. There are legends of people strapping birdlike wings and jumping of a tower. People even tried to strap themselves to a kit in order to try flying. Some primitive designs include the Chinese rotor wings, hot air balloon and Leonardo Da Vinci’s ornithopter. The hot air balloons made up of paper were…

“A Very Old Man with Enormous Wings,” written by Gabriel Marquez, is portrayed as dreamlike quality within the fictional story. The subtitle is specified for a “tale for children” meaning there is a huge fictional side that can appeal to children and Marquez does this through symbolism. There is a universal truth is profound throughout the story; there is a conjunction of cruelty and compassion. There are also motifs used such as prosperity and suffering at another's hand. These are strongly…
