Theories of Lift Airfoil Definition: Have you noticed the curved shape of a bird ’s wing? An airplane ’s wing is curved also. A wing is designed for flight. It has a special shape called an airfoil. The airfoil shape provides a lifting force when air flows around it. Airfoil shapes can be found on wings‚ fans and propellers. Importance: An airplane’s airfoil plays a very important role in lifting the aircraft. The airfoil is designed to increase the velocity of the airflow above its surface

includes a long intricate history of trial and error‚ and success and failure. Leonardo da Vinci‚ the great Italian artist‚ experimented with aircraft so far back as the 15th century. He used his engineering skills‚ along with his curious mind‚ to create 160 pages full of sketches of different “flying machines”. He only ended up actually building one‚ but his designs were very advanced for their time. (Murtaugh‚ “Leonardo da Vinci: The Engineer”). An Englishman named Sir George Cayley was the first

understand how airplanes fly‚ we must break down the parts of an airplane and understand the physics behind the airplanes most important components: the engine/propeller‚ and the wings. In the earlier days‚ airplanes gained thrust only by a single propeller. Nowadays huge turbofans are attached to the wings or the tail of the aircraft instead. Of course propelled airplanes are still used‚ most modern planes have jet engines. I will be going over the physics of propellers‚ and how airplanes gain lift.

Flight is a phenomenon that has long been a part of the natural world. Birds fly not only by flapping their wings‚ but by gliding with their wings outstretched for long distances. Smoke‚ which is composed of tiny particles‚ can rise thousands of feet into the air. Both these types of flight are possible because of the principles of physical science. Likewise‚ man-made aircraft rely on these principles to overcome the force of gravity and achieve flight. Lighter-than-air craft‚ such as the hot

Components (or Sections) of an Airplane 1. Fuselage a. This is the body of the airplane generally from nose to tail. b. It consists of the main airplane structure like frames‚ stringers‚ longerons‚ keel beam and skin. 2. Wings a. This is the component or section of the airplane that is responsible for aerodynamic lift. b. Lift is the force that raises the airplane up. 3. Empennage a. This is the airplane’s tail section which consists of the vertical

eyes turned skyward‚ for there you have been‚ and there you will always long to return.” Leonardo da Vinci. Wilbur and Orville Wright are known throughout the world as the first men to fly an airplane. This‚ however‚ is a myth. “The first fixed-wing aircraft -- a kite mounted on a stick -- was conceived and flown almost a century before Orville and Wilbur made their first flights” (Engler). The Wright Brothers‚ however‚ were the first to control an airplane in the air. Though not the first to fly‚

The Future of Airport Management The civil aviation system that exists in this century was virtually unimaginable 100 years ago‚ around the time the Wright Brothers made flight using powered‚ fixed-wing aircraft . With this in mind‚ let us consider the next 100 years .Surely there will be changes in the industry that will render the current civil aviation system obsolete. Airports in the distant future may be completely unrecognizable to their present-day counterparts‚ and the management of

general term of flight refers to all aircraft‚ the experiment does not deal with powered aircraft. Due to this‚ paper airplanes should be looked at more like a glider or sailplane.(Aerodynamics of flight‚ n.d.) Considering that the design‚ and airframe of each aircraft will be different‚ this experiment specifically looks at the horizontal velocity as dictated by Bernoulli’s principle in relation to lift‚ and the principle of glide in relation to the aircraft.
