Brothers; Inventors of the Airplane The incredible interest of Orville and Wilbur Wright in flying‚ was said to be initially sparked with their experience of a toy given to them by their father. The foot long toy “helicopter” was made out of paper‚ bamboo and cork with a rubber band to turn its rotor. The Wright brothers played continuously with their toy until it broke and after that they built one of their own. Wilbur Wright was born on April 16‚ 1867 in Millville‚ Indiana. He was the third welcomed

The renaissance period was the most influential time period of all time. The renaissance took place in the late 13 and early 14 century. Renaissance means rebirth or revival (Renaissance). The reason it’s called a rebirth or revival is because this time period led to advancements in art‚ science‚ architect‚ and machinery. Although there were a lot of people who contributed to these advancements‚ two very important people that helped are Leonardo Da Vinci and Michelangelo. Leonardo Da Vinci was

Pressure distribution on an aerofoil Aim: The aim of this experiment is to examine the pressure distribution on an aerofoil and its variation with incidence. Introduction: An aerofoil is the two-dimensional cross section of a wing‚ tail or helicopter rotor blade. The lift and pitching moment on an aerofoil is determined by the pressure distribution on it. The pressure distribution changes with the angle of incidence. Understanding the behaviour of aerofoils requires some understanding of the

pioneers/experiments‚ advancement during/after the war‚ all the way up to current applications of the propeller. The creation of the propeller can be traced back to Leonardo da Vinci. Da Vinci’s “helical screw” helicopter is believed to be the ancestor of the air propeller and the helicopter rotor. The first idea of a propulsive airscrew‚ however‚ belongs to J.P. Paucton‚ a French mathematician. Paucton envisioned a flying machine that had two airscrews‚ one for propulsion and the other for sustaining

In the history of cryptography‚ the Enigma was a portable cipher machine used to encrypt and decrypt secret messages. More precisely‚ Enigma was a family of related electro-mechanical rotor machines comprising a variety of different models. The Enigma was used commercially from the early 1920s on‚ and was also adopted by the military and governmental services of a number of nations most famously by Nazi Germany before and during World War II. The German military model‚ the Wehrmacht Enigma
