Aircraft Winglets Many of us who fly regularly have most probably seen a so-called winglet or wingtip device at the end of the wing of an airliner at least once. It is showing up more and more often on more and more types of aircraft‚ thus we felt it’s time to give an overview to our readers about these sometimes funny‚ sometimes cool and stylish looking aircraft parts. History‚ Reason and Benefits The initial theoretical concept goes back to times before even the Wright Brothers first took to

dangerous to flight but most accidents can be avoided if the right precautions are taken to avoid potential bad weather situations. I will 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

TABLE OF CONTENT INTRODUCTION This report looks through basic description of aircraft motions using standard terminologies such as stability‚ control and modes of flight. This also influences various controls and components on keeping the aircraft in its desired flight path with the aid of an explanation on the purpose of the design features of high-speed aircraft parts. Furthermore‚ as fluid dynamics refers to the relationship between fluid and an object‚ that is passing through it.

major weather hazards that cause a number of aircraft accidents. It is a hazard that can snowball out of control and cause problems such as reduce aircraft efficiency by increasing weight‚ reduce lift‚ decrease thrust and increase drag. These effects can cause the aircraft to increase stalling speed or cause the aircraft to force downward in flight. Over the years‚ aircraft engines and airframes have changed dramatically. Modern day aircraft are aerodynamically less accepting of airfoil

be found on cars‚ metal pipes‚ aircrafts and anywhere with iron‚ copper and aluminium. Corrosion can be concentrated locally to form a split or crack‚ or it can extend across a wide area which causes corroding on surfaces. Because corrosion is a diffusion-controlled process‚ it occurs mainly on exposed surfaces. Besides costing millions of dollars in aircraft inspections and repair work‚ corrosion can lead to massive safety risks if it is left untreated. Aircraft mechanics and technicians have

Introduction: This paper is about a company called Adam Aircraft that manufactures designs and ultimately intends to sell aircrafts in the aerospace industry. Rick Adam‚ a successful entrepreneur that has a passion for flying‚ established the company in the year 1993. Rick Adam identified a need in the market through analysis and research by various means. His passion for flying was fueled by his father that served in the US Air Force. Pilots and computer engineers socially surrounded Rick‚ which

| Case Analysis | | | | The one of the macro problems Wengart Aircraft is having is that they are the second largest company in the industry but are only ranked sixth in profitability (Brown‚ 2011). Wengart gets a large amount of contracts but they are spending a lot of money reworking most of the aircrafts after they come off of the production line. Another problem is the quality of their aircrafts is in question with the Secretary of Defense and other private customers. The Secretary
