Aviation

NASA's vision of future air travel

Hobbies in Aviation

Fairmont Flyers - That's me in the middle with my eyes closed. I'm helping present an outreach award to the Fairmont Flyers from the AMA.

The Guy on the end does research for NASA's Dryden

Unmanned Drone

Another job in WV in AVIATION!!!!!

Academy of Model Aeronatics

Anatomy of an Airfoil

Angle of Attack too steep = an unstable Aircraft which = a stall which = CRASH!!!!

There has to be an Angle Attack for lift to be created and an airplane to fly!!!

There are 4 Forces on an Airplane

**Remember** gravity X mass = weight

Bernoulli observed an interesting phenomenon when a laminar fluid passed through a venturi tube

Bernoulli's Principle

Low Pressure = High Velocity

High Pressure = Low Velocity

Inverse Proportional Relationship

Some surprises result in cool things like carburators, airfoils, and race car spoilers!!! Bernoulli was an awesome, wig wearing fool!!!

The Mid Atlantic Aerospace Complex (MAAC) has an Educational Page for Surface Controls. Check out the LINK provided!!!

The coolest thing about MAAC is that it is located in Bridgeport, WV!!!! This means jobs in aviation are in demand in WV. Which means WV is ultimately awesome!

4 Control Surfaces on an airplane which allow a pilot to adjust and control the aircraft's flight attitude

Thrust control forward movement and speed

Rudders control the yaw

Ailerons control the roll

Elevators control the pitch

NASA = National Aeronautic and Space Administration!!!

NASA's Dryden does awesome research which includes unmanned drones.

A Little History President Dwight D. Eisenhower established the National Aeronautics and Space Administration in 1958, partially in response to the Soviet Union's launch of the first artificial satellite the previous year. NASA grew out of the National Advisory Committee on Aeronautics (NACA), which had been researching flight technology for more than 40 years.

The Science of Flight explained by the coolest scientist - Bill Nye the Science Guy!!!

Subtopic

Shrink the size of geographic areas affected by objectionable airport noise by 83 percent

Emit 75 percent fewer harmful emissions

50 percent less fuel than aircraft that entered service in 1998
