Air Traffic Services (ATS) Analysis To analyse the role of Air Traffic Services (ATS) in this accident, the facts pertaining to this domain were considered, by segregating them into various essential activities of ATS and determine the specific areas which could have contributed directly or indirectly towards the causation of the accident. The possible activities related to ATS could…
Farther, faster, higher For German women, it was not easy to even attempt record flights during the years between the Wars. Under the terms of the Versailles Treaty, Germany was prohibited from having aircraft that might conceivably be employed for military purposes. Fliers were generally restricted to gliders or small sport planes, and they were…
The Table of Differences: the diagram shows the derivative paths of the significant differences in flying qualities between jet transport aeroplanes and piston-engined transport aeroplanes. In the science of air transport, and probably in all methods of transportation, there must be an optimum unit size from an overall economic point of view. This will…
MANOEUVRING FLIGHT Although no airplane is completely stable, all airplanes must have desirable stability and handling characteristics. An inherently stable airplane is easy to fly, and it reduces pilot fatigue. This quality is essential throughout a wide range of flight conditions – during climbs, descents, turns, and at both high and low airspeeds. You will…
One of the first things you are likely to notice during a visit to your local airport is the wide variety of airplane styles and designs. Although, at first glance, you may think that airplanes look quite different from one another, you will find that their major components are quite similar. THE FUSELAGE The fuselage…
The characteristics of fluids to have zero velocity at the surface of an object explain why one is not able to hose dust off a car. Flight is a relatively simple and widely studied phenomenon. As surprising as it may sound, though, it is often misunderstood. For example, most descriptions of the physics of lift…
