build something to make people fly. So they started to try to make this happen. They started off by making a biplane that was flown like a kite so they could test how they could control the plane by bending the tips of the wings so the airplane could stay balanced. They called this wing warping‚ and it did help. They had made the first airplane. They began testing more airplanes‚ making them bigger and bigger every time. They have given us a chance to fly to where we need or want to go. Next‚ I’ll explain

In numerous errors and experimental fails of treacherous take offs‚ the Wright Brother’s expanded a new‚ rapid way of flying aircraft that changed the U.S aviation. The expansion of transportation due to the Wright Brother’s showed how influential they were in order for citizens and objects

An investigation to find out whether the mass of an object attached to the bottom of a paper helicopter affects the time it takes to travel a fixed distance Aim: Does the mass of an object affect the time it takes to travel a fixed distance? Introduction: This is an experiment to find out the relationships between mass‚ distance‚ velocity and time. Dependent Variable: The height where the helicopter is dropped from. Independent Variable: The velocity of the helicopter‚ the time it takes for

take a closer look at icing conditions on aircraft and give examples of icing related accidents Body Icing‚ or ice buildup on the wings‚ is a particular problem for aircraft. When ice builds up on wings‚ it can disrupt airflow‚ robbing an airplane of lift and can decrease its angle of attack‚ which keeps it in the air. Wind tunnel and flight tests have shown that frost‚ snow‚ and ice accumulations (on the leading edge or upper surface of the wing) no thicker or rougher than a piece of coarse
