Fruit Fly Genetics Lab Kelly Hernandez 5/31/14 Drosophila melanogaster is a small‚ common fly found near unripe and rotted fruit. It has been in use for over a century to study genetics. Thomas Hunt Morgan was the best biologist studying Drosophila early in the 1900’s. Morgan was the first to discover sex-linkage and genetic recombination‚ which placed the small fly in the forefront of genetic research. Scientists have used Drosophila for many reasons. For one they are very easy to maintain‚

there’s a 92% chance he/she will spill it on you. 92%!! Not only this‚ but for some reason the people that board the aircraft with you are always weird lunatics. One time I was boarding an Aeroplane and a rather large African-American shouted “THAT WING SURE DOES LOOK RUSTY!” Another time whilst the plane was still on the ground‚ an elderly woman‚ two rows back started rocking back and forth in her seat shouting “THIS TURBULANCE SURE IS

approach are stabilized if they also fulfil the following: ILS approaches must be flown within one dot of the glide-slope and localizer; a Category II or III approach must be flown within the expanded localizer band; during a circling approach wings should be level on final when the aircraft reaches 300 feet above airport elevation; and‚ An approach that becomes unstabilised below 1000 feet above airport elevation in IMC or 500 feet above airport elevation in VMC requires an immediate go-around

ASCI 310: Aircraft Performance Research Project Objectives One of the requirements for this course is an Aircraft Performance Research Project that entails planning a flight from Denver International Airport (KDEN) to Chicago O’Hare International Airport (KORD) for a given aircraft‚ weather conditions‚ and assumptions. The objective is to apply what has been learned throughout this course. Drawing on aeronautics theory and using the performance charts and equations presented in the course‚
Premium Aerodynamics Aircraft Lift
On a swept wing aircraft if both wing tip sections lose lift simultaneously the aircraft will a) roll b) pitch nose up c) pitch nose down 2. Lift on a delta wing aircraft a) increases with an increased angle of incidence (angle of attack) b) decreases with an increase in angle of incidence (angle of attack c) does not change with a change in angle of incidence (angle of attack 3. On a straight wing aircraft‚ stall commences at the a) root on a high thickness ratio wing b) tip on a

The wing of an aircraft comprises of skin‚ spar‚ ribs and stringer. We will further discuss into the properties‚ test standards and factors of the materials being chose for each part of the wing. However the materials used differ depending on the models and the company that produces it‚ therefore we set up Boeing 737-700 as our model. Various
