Having covered the basic physics of flight and the ways in which an airplane uses them to fly, the next obvious step is to consider navigation. How does an airplane turn in the air? How does it rise to a higher altitude or dive back toward the ground? First, let's consider the angle...
To fire the weapon, the soldier aims the missile at the target. When the seeker locks on, it makes a distinctive noise. The soldier pulls the trigger, and two things happen: A small launch rocket shoots the missile out of the launch tube and well clear of the soldier who is firing it...
Its primary job is to serve as an aerial platform to launch SpaceShipOne into space. White Knight takes off like a plane from a normal airstrip, with SpaceShipOne attached to its belly. The two ships fly together under White Knight's power to a predetermined altitude. Then White Knight ...
It naturally falls to the ground, which causes the paper to bend slightly upward due to lift. When your paper helicopter falls, air pushes up against the blades with equal force, and the shape causes the copter to spin. This is because the blades are designed so that the incoming air is...
Getting a good deal on flights can all come down to timing. And in many cases, it has less to do with when you buy your flights and more about when you actually get on the plane. It's all about capitalizing on thecheapest days to fly. Flying on off-peak days like Tuesdays, Wednesd...

Here "energy" refers to the effort put in by the launch vehicle and the sum of the maneuvers of the rocket motors aboard the spacecraft, and the amount of propellant that is used. In space travel, everything boils down to energy. Spaceflight is the clever management of energy. Some ...

But despite the speed of light's reputation as a universal constant, scientists and science fiction writers alike spend time contemplating faster-than-light travel. So far no one's been able to demonstrate a real warp drive, but that hasn't slowed our collective hurtle toward new stories, new...
