Flight History Of Aeroplanes And Steps Of Flying

Saturday, 22 August 2009

The invention of flight by the Wright brothers has brought about a revolution in the world. The concept of speed and distance started changing. The impossible started looking possible. The perfect combination of strength
weight
and carrying capacity has been experimented and finally achieved.

The airplanes were previously called “Kites”! They did not have much power and were supplied with a lot of wing area. The streamlined aircrafts came up just before the World War I. they has cleaner aerodynamic shapes and had increased horsepower. During the First World War
the traditional wooden frames were replaced by welded steel tubing. Duraluminum was used to prepare all the assembly-wings
fuselage and tail of the flight.

Slowly metal was used to replace the use of wood in preparing the body of the flight. The revolutionary Boeing 247 combined the streamlined all-metal semi-monocoque construction
retractable landing and variable pitch propellers. Whenever there is a war
the nation tries to utilize the best technology. During World War 2
the jet fighter was developed. An all-composite design was appreciated during 1980s. The flight design by Brut Rutan made history by flying non-stop around the world without refueling.

The Voyager’s composite airframe was lightweight and circled the earth in nine days. Not only for transporting people from place to place
certain space shuttle is prepared for space flight. The various mechanical flights include aircraft
aeroplanes
helicopters
airships
balloons and spacecraft. Flying an aeroplane is no easy task. It involves various methods like taxiing; take off
climb
cruise
descent
flight planning
and landing. Some of the early flight pioneers were Abbas Ibn Firnas
Amelia Earhart
Alberto Santos Dumont
Armen Firman
Charles Lindbergh
Richard Pearse and ultimately the Wright Brothers.

A taxiway is used for flights to move from one place to another with the help of wheels
within the airport. The process when the flight
after gathering speed from the runway
leaves the ground and flies into the air is called takeoff. For light flights
usually full power is used. Climb involves getting the flight into the desired cruising altitude. Cruise involved changing the direction of the flight. The landing of the flight by decreasing its altitude is known as descent of a flight. Flight planning is an essential part in both private and commercial flights. Landing the flight to ground level is the ultimate part of safely handling a flight.
