Have you ever wondered how skydiving works? What kind of equipment do skydivers use? How safe is skydiving as a sport? How do you become a skydiver and how much does it cost? In this article, we will answer all of these questions and many more. The next time you watch someone...
" is an educational and fun game for learning how flying machines work: the plane, the helicopter, the drone and the hot air balloon... Pilot the different aircraft and watch the different forces interact. What makes an airplane fly? How do you turn or descend? How can a hot air ...
Morgan quickly adds, “Gentle! Be very gentle when you press on the pedals.” What he doesn’t mention is that putting too much pressure on the brakes too early can blow a tire, causing Harrison to lose contr...
Sure, steel ships can float and even very heavy airplanes can fly, but to achieve flight, you have to exploit the four basic aerodynamic forces: lift, weight, thrust and drag. You can think of them as four arms holding the plane in the air, each pushing from a different direction. ...
When we're out in space, all you need to do is release a puff of air in a direction to give you a reaction force to push you the other way. That's pretty much what [a reaction control system] is. We have high-pressure air stored in bottles on the ship, and we release a littl...
I do not know what moves in the trees below, but I find the thought that so much does enchanting. Even without seeing the creature we came to track, the wildness of this place, unshackled from modern trends and inseparable from its people, is wonderful. As we descend, we can see the ...
Our annual World Air Forces directory – published in association with Embraer – details the military aircraft fleets of 162 nations, and analyses the main events of the last 12 months.
There are a few downsides to this antenna. The first is that it is approximately 68 feet (almost 21 meters) long. That’s a lot of wire to get in the air. Some POTA sites just don’t have that much room or support structures to effectively use this antenna. Another downside is that...
Give a detailed scientific explanation. What would decrease the stability of an air mass? How does a parachute reduce terminal velocity? Is air resistance tension or applied force? When an object is thrown upward, how much speed does it lose each second (ignoring air resistance)? What type ...
