The hang glider's wing, called a delta wing or Rogallo wing, is an outgrowth of NASA engineer Francis Rogallo's research on kites and parachutes in the 1960s. Rogallo had proposed the wing as a method of returning spacecraft to Earth. The delta-wing parachute was lightweight, durabl...
It is easy to take the physics of flight for granted, as well as the ways in which we exploit them to achieve flight. We often glimpse a plane in the sky with no greater understanding of the principles involved than a caveman. How do these heavy machines take to the air? To answer ...

This Paper Airplanes Page is a free page that illustrates how to make and fold unique folded Paper Airplanes that you'll find nowhere else - because these paper airplane models are original. Some are easy to build, some are advanced space shuttle paper airplanes as well aseasy to fold paper...
So any charge buildup dissipates too quickly to create noticeable static electricity, and it can transfer into other objects unless it's completely insulated from the rest of the environment. Because current can't flow in an insulator, the static build-up quickly creates a notable charge imbalan...
To many locals, the kites might just seem like another piece of quirky décor. But not so. Dermer, who spoke with us before he passed away in March 2014, was an avid kite enthusiast, and each has a personal meaning. “Three of those kites were made by people who won national ...
In order to maintain genome stability and integrity, cells have evolved a wide variety of DNA repair pathways which counteract different types of DNA lesions, also referred to as the DNA damage response (DDR). However, DNA in eukaryotes is highly organized and compacted into chromatin representing...
