The aim of this experiment is to understand the non-linear aerodynamic characteristic of a slender wing-body (rocket shaped) by installing the slender wing-body inside the wing tunnel and run the wing tunnel at subsonic speed and changing the incidence angle of the slender from -14 to 28 degrees over period of time and record the lift and induced drag readings from a computer which is connected to the wind tunnel.…

Choose the right method of transport depends on the distance, the geographic location of the destination, the nature of the goods and the budget. For example, transport by sea can be used if a company need to deliver goods of high volume, not in an immediately period and spending less money. Shipping by air, instead, is used if the goods are required in few days but it is more expensive than sea or land, depending on the weight of the goods.…

- In order to operate a successful air –express transportation industry requires the injection of large capital investments. This requirement can impede the entry of new firms into the industry. Airborne at this stage has its own sets of aircrafts and operates its own airport, making it more difficult for a new firm to compete with these realities.…
Despite regulated land transport, and unregulated freight handling on the docks, the result is the same: inertia in the evolution of both road and rail, and competences to handle cargo. Despite awareness of production line efficiencies, these are not applied to the logistics channels, and their labour-intensiveness remains unquestioned. Levinson describes in great detail the value in managing cost, and optimising resources by applying economies of scale.…

If the initial choice of transportation is air, I would recommend that an ocean freight company is lined up for the future when the demand grows. This is due to the fact that in the long run it would be much cheaper to have all merchandise transported by ocean versus air. Additional…

INTRODUCTION: It gives me great pleasure to be invited to present a paper at this one day sensitization seminar with Theme Optimizing opportunities in the Airfreight industry, organized by the Nigerian Shippers Council for importers/exporters, operators regulators and other stakeholders in the Airfreight sector as part of its continuous effort to educate and sensitize shippers on useful procedures in international trade and movement of goods. The aviation industry is a vital sector in any nation s economy. It facilities the global movement of people, goods and services. It diminishes constraints of time and space for man. It is efficient and reliable and it promotes business. Abundant opportunities exist in Air freighting in Nigeria. Nigeria the giant of Africa is strategically located and has 4 international Airport Muritala Mohammed international Airport, Lagos, Aminu Kano Int l Airport Kano, Nnamdi Azikwe Int l Airport, Abuja and Port-Harcourt Airport, Port Harcourt, which serve as import/export routes to African Countries and other countries of the world. The present Federal Government Policy Investment in manufacturing industries especially non oil sector e.g. agricultural exports. Consequently, Nigeria is witnessing a lot of imports and exports of raw materials and finished products. Some of our exports of agricultural food commodities because of the perishable nature are air freighted. Likewise, thermolabile, high potency products such as Biological/vaccines that need to be transported quickly under special conditions are air freighted; hence that aviation industry plays a very important supportive role globally. Consequently optimizing opportunities available in the Air freight sector requires a legal…
