Unlike soarplane gliders, hang gliders have neither movable surfaces on the wing nor a tail to deflect airflow and maneuver the craft. Instead, the pilot is suspended from the hang glider's center-of-mass (hence the term "hang" glider) by way of a harness, maneuvering the hang glider ...
In the 1960s, the term astronaut was used briefly outside of NASA. The Department of Defense awarded the rating of astronaut to military and civilian pilots who flew aircraft higher than 50 miles (81 kilometers). Seven pilots received this rating for flights in the X-15rocketplane, a craft...

Lift is an element of force that moves perpendicular to the direction of an object's motion. The rotating arm had a serious side effect, however, in that it chopped up the air as it spun, basically creating hellacious turbulence that greatly impacted all results and observations. But the ...
1 One part of my laptop is now newer than the rest of it, which should mean I don’t have to spend quite as much time with two other parts of the computer. But should I feel that good about having to send a second computer from the same vendor back to the shop? I spent a lo...
The thrust from one or more engines pushes a plane forward, forcing air past its scientifically shaped wings to create an upward force called lift that powers it into the sky. That, in short, is how planes work—but how do jet engines work?
Private Pilot to Airline Pilot and Beyond: What to Expect Completing flight training is a major accomplishment, and one that everyone should be proud of. Imagine walking through the doors of PEA having never flown a plane, and leaving with every license and certificate from Private Pilot to Fli...
A smooth inclined plane has a gradient of 1 in 5. A body having a mass of 60 kg rests on the plane. Draw the force diagram to a scale and, from the diagram, determine the effort required to pull the body at a uniform speed up the plane if the effort makes ...
How to Make RC Plane: We love RC toys, especially RC planes. You can easily buy one, but you can't personalize it. So why not to make it? In this instructable I'll show you how to make fully working RC plane. Where to start? There are two ways: you mak
