Due their weight difference, airplanes and birds differ in power requirement for flying. The power to bring balance between the lift and gravity, drag and thrust such that any flying object can fly comfortably varies as power the weight of these objects. Depending on the power capability of birds and airplanes there are limits for weight requirements for these objects. Airplanes require powerful engines to fly their heavy weight. Most commonly heavy airplanes use jet engines to fly the ...

Is it or is it not Magical Realism?

When speaking about García Márquez’s inventive narratives, Spiller (1999) a professor of Renaissance literature, notes that his use of magical realism (MR) demands that the reader “accommodate both fantasy and reality within a single narrative structure” (475, para. 2). Magical realism is similar to (or perhaps the same as) fantasy and science fiction because the reader is asked to do the same thing; that is accept fantasy as reality. Gene Wolfe (science fiction and fantasy author) was asked to explain the difference between science fiction, fantasy and magical realism. He explained that the difference is “Plausibility. . . . ...

Introduction:

Airfoil design and selection is an important deciding factor in aircraft performance. Airfoil is a term used to describe the cross section of the aircraft wings. By observing birds in flight, man has understood that flat plates, resembling bird’s wings can produce the necessary lift to set the aircraft flying. However the actual importance of airfoil in designing the wings of the aircraft was recognized only in 1800. Since then many engineers have designed, tested and patented a number of variations in airfoil pattern. Over the years, there has been a remarkable advancement in technology of airfoil construction ...

Every commercial aircraft is fundamentally designed for safety, passenger acceptance, fuel efficiency and airport compatibility among other important features. Numerous challenges face all current passenger aircrafts, for instance the conventional wing consists of a number of moving parts which increase the weight of the plane and are difficult to adjust and maintain.

A Very Old Man With Enormous Wings: Narrating From Outside
The story by Gabriel Garcia Marquez entitled “A Very Old Man With Enormous Wings” is a very strange tale. It is set within the courtyard of the two characters’, Pelayo and Elisenda’s, house.

Writings of any kind and form and movies represent humans’ projection upon life, their feelings, thoughts, desires and aspirations regarding the world they live in. As such, Anouilh's version of “Antigone” (based on Sophocles’ play with the same title) and Wim Wenders movie “Wings of Desire” reflect the author, respectively the director’s view upon the world they lived in, with the realities specific of those times. The key common component of these two representations stays in their theme, which is the loss of innocence, the awakening and the fight for freedom, rejecting imposed ideologies and authorities.
Based on ...

Understanding the evolution of animals and their traits in fact provides clues to the adaptation of animals in the changing environmental conditions. Different hypothesis and assumptions are associated with the evolution of flight in vertebrate groups and still there appear no solid proof that points out to a single line of evolution with regard to the flight in vertebrates. But evolutionary biologists clearly find some form of association between the morphological and physiological adaptation of dinosaurs with that of the present day structures that assist flight in vertebrates and details of the evolution and its related aspects ...

Evolution is the change animals and species undergo over time to adapt to certain environmental changes and eventually produce multiple descendent species. Evolution and natural selection are often taken as complimentary to each other. However, evolution, by definition, is a historical process of change, while natural selection is merely a mechanism that results in this change. Advances in technology and biology has thrown light on several causes and consequences of evolution. Some of the deepest understandings of evolution come from understanding fossils and examining phylogeny and from the study of natural selection. Evidences suggest that when natural selection is ...

The Asian gypsy moth was introduced later for the first time to Oregon and Washington in the year 1991. They were brought about by ships from Russia infested with Asian gypsy moth eggs and were blown by the offshore wind to the shore line. Scientists believe that the docked ships with those eggs blown to the shore hatched into larvae. However, human activities like spraying to control insects like mosquitoes, ensured that the moth was eradicated. Trapping was another ...

One of the main problems of classical mechanics is that of turbulent fluid flow. The reason for this is that there is the presence of thin no-slip boundary which requires a lot of meshpoints in order for the solution to be arrived. There is a research which has been arrived and researched upon which shows that with the use of slip boundary condition to be the model for friction to be achieved for the small skin, there is the possibility for predictive simulation for mean quantities. An example of such mean quantities is the drag and lift turbulent flow ...

The first successful powered flight was carried out by Orville and Wilbur Wright in 1903. However, there was human flight before the Wright brothers made their accomplishments. These pre-twentieth century fliers were not foolish dreamers, since their desire for human flight was usually more often than not informed by what were then valid scientific principles. Those who attempted flight before the twentieth century actually formed the basis on which the developers of human flight in later centuries applied (Crouch, 2004).

One of the pre-twentieth century fliers was Leonardo da Vinci, who seems to have developed many of the initial ...

Goya’s aquatint No. 43, “El sueño de la razón produce monstrous” (El sueño) or “The Sleep of Reason produces monsters,” has been subject to many complex interpretations. As part of eighty fantastical and bizarre aquatints of his 1799 collection, “Los Caprichos,” El sueño dramatically illustrates a conglomeration of symbols. This work appears to represent Goya’s dream of an enlightened Spain.
The allegorical significance of so-called monsters ominously hovering over a dreamer is, in some ways, ambiguous. Some interpreters have claimed that the print represents evil in the guise of ominous bats. Others emphasize ...

In their book The Macro Polity, Robert Erikson and his coauthors strongly disagree with the theory that American political parties are weak or that the partisan and activist cores of their coalitions are relatively lacking in ideology and commitment. On the contrary, they found that there were very durable partisan loyalties in the United States that only shifted as a result of major upheavals and realignments, such as the Civil War, the depressions of the 1890s and 1980s, and (arguable) the great crises over Vietnam, civil rights and the cultural rebellions of the 1960s and 1970s. In between these ...

Fluid mechanics is one of the major disciplines of physics applied in the design of airplane wings. Out of the many things considered is the relationship between angle of attack, airspeed, and lift. The angle of attack is measured in degrees between the chord and the direction of flight. Lift is an artificial force generated by the wings and can be manipulated by a pilot. Lift has varying characteristics during different times of the flight for instance during a level cruise it equals weight, its greater than weight during a climb and during descent its less than weight.

It is an allusion because it does not necessarily convey mainly, the story of Icarus failing in his goal to fly. Instead, it uses the modern times to present the story of someone from ancient Greece who liked to pursue something ...
