Are Airplanes Safe? TWA Flight 800‚ Egypt Air Flight 990‚ and Alaska Air Flight 461 and countless other flight numbers from the past decade all have one major thing in common with each other. All three are commercial airline flights that have gone down with no survivors‚ and all of these flights have happened in the past five years. All three of these mentioned accidents got extensive publicity in the few weeks after they occurred‚ the reason for this was because of the great number of people that

Boeing Gets a Second Chance‚ And a Third Boeing is the world’s largest aerospace firm‚ providing goods and services for military and industry buyers around the world. The company makes jets‚ helicopters‚ missiles‚ satellites‚ and more‚ and is the United States’ largest exporter. With 153‚000 employees and net earnings exceeding $1.5 billion in 2005‚ Boeing is one of the largest corporations in the world. Surely such a well-known and visible firm would not be able to get away with unethical actions

The Boeing 7E7 Boeing is one of the largest and one of the most well-know companies for their aerospace developments in the commercial airplane and integrated defense systems markets. At this time the company currently lost its number one position in the commercial airplane market to Airbus‚ whom has over 50% market share in units sold and in dollar value of sales received. Boeing’s company is composed 54% from their commercial segment and 46% from their defense system segment. Earlier this year

A350 is expected to take off for the first time in 2011 with over 50 % of its total weight made up of fibre-reinforced composite materials. The Dreamliner‚ Boeing 787 – 50% of the components are produced from composite materials. Airbus itself manufacture ribs‚ stiffeners and other elements from the PPS composites. The individual components are welded together to form a strong‚ inseparable unit. This process

Paper Airplanes Project Design Plan: * I want to know what type of paper airplane model will fly the farthest. I believe airplane design is very important when trying to see how far a paper airplane will fly. The different shape and narrowness or width as well as weight distribution are all factors in flight distance. So if I have a narrow paper airplane‚ a very wide one‚ and one in between‚ which on will fly the farthest? * The relevance of this experiment is similar to understanding

Leonardo Da Vinci did some research in the 1400’s that held the engineering of many gliders done by George Cayley‚ Otto Lilienthal and the Wrights brothers. George Cayley made the first glider capable of carrying a human. Otto Lilienthal marked the beginning of the experimental

Air plane I. High Speed: Air transport is the fastest mode of transport and therefore suitable carriage of goods over a long distance requiring less time. There is no substitute for air transport when the transport of goods is required urgently. II. Quick Service: Air transport provides comfortable‚ efficient and quick transport service. It is regarded as best mode of transport for transporting perishable goods. III. No Infrastructure Investment: Air transport does not give emphasis on construction

I had a great desire to fly in an aeroplane. It was a sort of obsession‚ with me since childhood. Whenever I heard the droning of an aeroplane. I looked round to see where it was. How I wished to be in it flying over the world like a kite! When I grew up‚ I persuaded3 my father to take me to the aerodrome. The inside view of the plane was breath taking. Such a huge structure with rows of seats! I could not imagine how this aeroplane could fly up and beyond the clouds‚ sometimes‚ at a height of
