assisted flight. While working on the telephone‚ Bell mentioned to his partner that their next big project would be to design‚ build‚ and successfully fly a flying machine. Bell chose to begin his experiments testing light weight wind supported designs before testing human powered flight trials. In 1894‚ Bell began experimenting with wings and propellers. When he is successful‚ he moves onto helicopter models. Bell finally decided that a kite would be the most stable structure for human flight. His

streams are playing an important role in the economy of the aviation industry. Since 1952‚ commercial airlines have made use of the benefits of the jet stream to a large advantage by reducing flight times by up to 33 percent‚ resulting in huge savings in fuel and money. This is so when Airplanes have flight routes going eastwards that go along with the jet streams thus gaining advantage of the powerful boost that they can provide which helps to push the plane along. However if any airplane flies

Besides that‚ they both uses the same basic principle of flight which are aerofoil and the Archimedes’ principle. Although they are not entirely the same in the they apply these theories but in a way they are similar. Whether fixed or rotating the wing achieves lift due to it’s shape. The upper side is rounded

and its pathways and no matter what we are always going to be in the same place. Sometimes since the lighting is so bad they have to cancel the flights of the planes because its too bad to fly and if we weren’t in the center of that region then we would not have to worry about that issue. But if they had a lightings strike when in trying to have a flight go up then the plane might act as a giant lighting rod and then things don’t turn out good what so ever.
