Argumentative Essay

Military innovation contributes to the success of states in war. However, it has been shown in the literature that the U.S. and Britain failed to significantly innovate or revolutionize their military in the interwar period. This paper argues that this failure is primarily rooted in two major factors: anti-militarism attitudes, and a military culture that disregards the usefulness of past military experiences to future wars. During the interwar period, few refuted the importance of mechanized, powered means of transportation and tanks. The debate revolved around whether this technology could be integrated into traditional processes or strategies or whether more ...

I think it happened when I was 5 or 6 years old. My family spent that summer near the big river; I do not remember its name now. It had several beaches and a landing pier. It became the reason of this story. That summer I already knew how to swim. I did not have any significant skills, but could move without any support and felt quite well in the water. Of course, parents did not let me go to the beach alone. That day we went to the landing pier with my father. He liked to speak with ...

General Overview of Weather-related Accidents For every accident investigation attributed to a weather-related factor, NTSB was able to attach a subject modifier to the individual weather condition. This is because a single accident may be linked to several weather phenomena hence resulting in a citation of several subject modifiers for a single accident. For the purpose of this paper, several subject modifiers were amalgamated into one weather phenomenon for example under the category of wind; the paper includes reports whereby the NTSB was more specific on dust whirlwind, sudden wind shift, high wind, and crosswind as ...

The Cold War: Space Race

Introduction The final frontier in the exploration of man during the 20th century was space. For decades, the man had been intrigued by the vastness and the boundlessness of his surroundings. The untapped cradle that formed the home to the planet remained a mystery to man. It was this fascination that created the basis for space exploration even as the man struggled to understand not only his surroundings but also his existence. The desire to understand space created the much needed scientific and technological advancement of humanity. In an effort to understand and conquer space, the man helped advance ...

Aircraft control surfaces are components of an aircraft used to control an aircraft. Normally, the control surfaces are movable parts in the plane wings and the tail. The surfaces help the pilot adjust attitude or plane orientation by creating differential pressure on different parts of the aircraft. The difference is pressure produces a force which then acts on the plane to produce the desired effect. Control surfaces employ the principle of lift just like the wings but in different directions. The lift forces produced by a control surface can act independently or in combination with a force from another ...

Abstract The successful flight of an aircraft is often attributed to the finesse of its pilots as well as the dispatcher. It is a common practice in air crash investigations to put the blame of such a mishap on the shoulders of its pilots and the air traffic control unit. Most often, the other factors that are inclusive in any successful flight, is omitted. This paper tries to analyze these causes from the perspective of National Transport Safety Board, to generate an independent view about the crash of UPS Flight 1354. After thorough inspection of NTSB reports three main ...

Introduction

All aircraft are constructed with the identical simple elements: wings for lifting, engine to enhance drive power, a fuselage to carry load and controls, and a tail assembly which typically regulates the bearing of flight. The fuselage or body of the airplane clutches all the fragments together. The pilots sit at the front of the cockpit at the fuselage. Travelers and cargo stay in the rear of the fuselage. Some aircraft carry fuel in the fuselage; others aircrafts have engines in the wings. The wings lift the weight of the aircraft itself, the fuel, the travelers, and the cargo. ...
