Essays on Plane

Introduction: According to Thaden and Alyssa (2008), “human error is the main cause of flight accidents in complex systems. Therefore since errors are inevitable in the commercial airline industry, it is doubtful to assure safety on the air.” On the other hand, Mangla and Haress (2011) claim that - “air travel is the safest mode in the history of aviation.” Whose statement is reliable between them? In aviation, it is true that human error leads to accidents in the sky, but it is also true that for every accident that happens on the air, the airline company reviews their ...

“A novel written by William Golding after World War II had become a well-known book in the United States and other countries” . The Lord of the Flies was an inspiration to him after returning from the war, and his basis for interpreting the characters scenarios with relations to the war. Humanity has a different image when being placed in a battle zone, and does not have the same outlooks as to someone who had never been in an attack. The inspiring writer changed the way ligature signified not only the look at humanity and how people react to different ...

Ideas are best communicated through the means of picture or drawing. The technical drawing which is used to clearly represent and fully define the requirements of the engineering items is called an Engineering Drawing. It is not just a drawing of pictures, but Engineering Drawing is also a graphical language which is used for sharing and communicating information and ideas amongst engineers. All the needed information is passed very clearly from the Engineer who designs it to the worker who has to work on it through engineering drawing.

Abstract

Salvador Dali can be considered the iconic painter of the surrealist movement. He was cheeky, provocative, ironic, and disrespectful in his attitude to all he came in contact with. He took the foundations of surrealism to their extreme. Dali raised surrealism to a higher artistic level by depicting emotions and thoughts ranging from realism to delirium. His unusual creativity is evocative because of its mysteriousness and uncertainty. This paper attempts to discover a little more about this Spanish artist and takes a look at one of his most famous paintings.

Curatorial Statement The exhibition, “Thirty Years of Dali” has ...

U.S. AIRWAYS FLIGHT 1549

Summary of Event

U.S. Airways Flight 1549 struck a at least two Canadian geese around 3:27 p.m. on January 15, 2009, after departing New York’s LaGuardia Airport headed to Charlotte, North Carolina. As a result, both engines on the plane lost thrust. The pilot notified air traffic controllers of the strike less than three minutes after takeoff, and an emergency was declared. As Captain Chesley Sullenberger communicated with air traffic control, he determined that he would be unable to turn the plane back to LaGuardia Airport and land safely. The captain made the decision to land the ...

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 ...

AMERICAN AIRLINES FLIGHT 587

According to the National Transportation Safety Board (2004) the Safety Board requested NASA-Langley to conduct a wake vortex investigation to determine the airplane performance study on whether American Airlines Flight 587 had encountered the wake Vortexes similar to Japan Air Lines flight 47. The investigation showed that the encounter will explain the two sets of load factor excursions, where the first occurred at 0915:35 where the aircraft reached the altitude of 1,750 feet, and the second occurred at 0915:51 where the aircraft reached the altitude of 2,430 feet based on the record of flight of 587 (National ...

Introduction

Almost all of the commercial airplane accidents that have been reported in the past are caused by human error which accounts for approximately 70% of the accidents (Griffin et al., 2015). Hence, it is important to appreciate the fact that human error is recently becoming a principal concern not only to flight operations but in the maintenance practices as well as air traffic control. The above concern has made the major airlines to employ human factor professionals who work closely with the engineers and pilots to embrace innovation on human performance as well as the airplanes to help enhance ...

Science fiction, regardless of its medium, is often thought to be a means of projecting our ideas of the future – what it could be, what it might become, how it should be, and so on. This is often demonstrated in the utopian and dystopian genres of SF, in which future societies, either good or bad, are showcased in order to explore sociological and philosophical ideas about humanity and society. As Jameson notes, this kind of future projection and prediction can be complicated to express, as semiotics and symbolism grants us the ability to investigate those ideas in more abstract ...

Traveling to America for the first time for my studies will remain to be my greatest adventure. Just like any other international student would behave, I was equally too nervous to see this aspiration come true. I got scared immediately I landed in the United States about the culture, the country I had only read in textbooks during my junior years in school, about their prowess regarding technology, economic strengths, and the military superiority. This also marked the first time I made my first flight to a foreign nation. How were these people going to treat me? Will they ...

It has been close to two years since Malaysian Boeing MH17 being downed over the disputed territory of eastern Ukraine. In the early hours and days of the tragedy, the media of most world countries, whether print, online, or television, seemed to be trying nothing else other than to cover the continuous story. While journalists are not tripping over each other in a bid to publish the sensational materials presently, the interest in the story has not ceased completely, neither has the investigation that is still to name the guilty party. Until it has, media will continue their coverage ...

In order to show how the possession of atomic weapons influences the strength of the United States in the world developments and the outcome of many processes in which the United States as a nuclear power state was taking part it is vital to dig a little bit deeper into the prehistory of the United States’ acquisition of the nuclear weapons. It is important in order to understand why it was significant for the state to acquire such weapon in the first place and what international developments led the state to the decision to. For the foreign policy of ...

The Federal Aviation Act of 1958 (hereafter referred to as “the Act”) was enacted mainly to make provision for promotion and regulation of aviation in the interest of safety and development (Federal Aviation Act, 1958). It was passed in response to what was felt to be inadequate regulation. There had been calls for comprehensive legislative reform but Congress was not convinced about the necessity for such reforms. A series of accidents laid bare the inadequacies of the existing regulation. The public outcry that followed these accidents forced Congress to react by passing the Act. Flying in the 1920s, when ...

Lubrication is an important function that sustains the life of an engine. Lubricants help in reducing friction and wear of the parts of the engine. Lack of lubrication can lead to corrosion and formation of rust on the engine of an airplane. All engines require lubrication regardless of the frequency of their use. Airplanes that are frequently used can have issues of rust formation and corrosion (EAI, 2015). The idle airplanes have a higher risk of rust formation and corrosion compared to the airplanes that are frequently used. It is easier to lubricate and maintain airplanes that are on ...

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. ...

Recent Airline Incident

Major airline incidences are overly hard to come across even though minor incidences, though also not an order of the day, happen sporadically. For instance this week on Tuesday, a Xian MA60 plane developed a mechanical problem while trying to land at China’s Zhengzhou-Xinzheng International Airport (Aviation Safety Network, 2014). No fatality was recorded to this plane that was carrying 37 passengers and seven crew members. Even though no report is out about the cause of the incident, it is reported that the undercarriage of the plane retracted leading to the nose of the plane touching the runway (Aviation Safety ...

The origin of simple machines is indefinite. Ancient people might have used the idea of a pulley when they lifted heavy objects by throwing crude ropes or vines over tree branches, or the first levers were probably logs used to move heavy objects. Notwithstanding their antiquities, simple machines are significant sources of ease and comfort for all people living until today’s generation.

Millions of people ride a bike or motorcycle everyday and almost everyone uses a switch to turn on the lights or need a simple handle to open a door. Generally, people use levers, pulleys, inclined planes, ...

2) There are justifications on the presence of the moon. Perhaps, collision-ejection theory of the moon gives an explains on the issues. The theory asserts that the moon exists due to the formation of debris ejected from the earth, especially when objects crushed. Collision-ejection theory claims that the newly formed earth collided with mars at an angle, which splashed the layers of the earth surface into the orbit around it. This implies that the Earth crust and mantle formed the moon though condensation. There are various facts on the moon that the theory is consistent with. Some of the ...

There are five phases of a terrorist attack. According to Sauter & Carafano (2005), they include the pre-incident phase, the initiation phase, the climax phase, the negotiation phase and the post-incident phase. The pre-incident phase is the stage whereby the terrorist leaders decide on the type of operation to undertake. Thus, it involves the selection or the identification of the target. At this stage, the terrorist comes up with a number of potential targets. This is based on extensive intelligence and surveillance. For example, the selected targets for the 9/11 attack were the World Trade Center, the Pentagon and the Capitol ...

Social theories are ideas generated by scholars in attempting to explain the social structures of the society. These theories touch on issues such as religion, crime, education, politics, philosophy and many other aspects of the society. Each theorist has held divergent views on different issues and such scholarly debate is always constructive. Social theories, that attempt to explain the manner in which a society tends to go in a different and repugnant, have been developed by different social theorists. An example of such social phenomena is rationalization developed by the great German sociologist Max Weber. He argues his assertion through his ...

The glider designs of George Cayley and Otto Lilienthal were a far cry from the technological sophistication of space flight, and 19th-century designs established basic principles still present in the design of the space shuttle. Mechanization, which started with the Wright brothers, powered flight, giving substance to the age-old human dream of manned flight. War and the onset of commercial flight produced massive improvements in aeronautical design and logistical advances. In the modern era, the very concept of flight has taken mankind into space and inspired plans for manned space travel.

Flight for life refers to a prehospital service concerned with the provision of care services especially during emergencies, and which has many centers throughout the United States (Kingsolver 12). Primarily, flight for life offers medical transport of critically ill individuals to healthcare centers throughout the United States where they receive specialized medical care. In addition, the flight for life service operates by using several land vehicles alongside the fixed-wing aircraft in facilitating the transport of critically ill patients to specialized hospitals across America. Notably, the transport services by helicopter are very valuable in saving lives of victims of emergencies or ...

The American Homeland Security Act contains a provision to arm pilots of commercial airlines and gives the deputy pilot the authority to use lethal force in protecting the flight deck against terrorism and other criminal threats. This act was later extended to include the cargo pilots as well. During the debate over the law, the opponents viewed such program as risky and expensive and outweighed the potential benefits suggested (Thurman 48). The proponents, on the other hand, saw the potential benefits of thwarting criminal acts outweighing the presumed risks associated with arming the pilots. In the wake of the September.11 ...

Abstract

Accidents are an inevitable element of the air carriage industry; however, a good number of these could have been avoided given proper human resource management efforts. The task of these specialists is to recruit, to train, and to evaluate industry employees like pilots. Instead, they often overlook health issues and psychological disorders leaving the wellbeing and lives of passengers exposed to mortal threat. Owing to HR specialists’ miscalculations, pilots with insufficient qualification, those willing to ignore the guidelines of dispatchers and act carelessly received their coveted positions. The liberalization of workplace regulations did the industry an ill favor allowing individuals ...

ABSTRACT

There are a number of important benefits that can be gleaned for humanity as a whole if production processes could be moved to space. This is a holistic investigation of the different benefits of moving manufacturing processes to space, and of the current processes that are capable of being carried out in space or in orbit. Full-scale production of space vehicles is the final end goal of the process, but a focus on small-scale production via 3-D printing technologies is also examined over the course of the study. A literature review and meta-analysis was conducted to determine the effects of manufacturing in Microgravity ...
