its merit leading to the development of allied counterparts to German camera technology such as the British Watson Camera in (381-382). As the important of aerial reconnaissance was fully realized during the war, countries found the employ of many aircraft specifically designed for the purpose of aerial…

In addition to all the mentioned issues another problem that needs to be solved considering drone security, is the ability of drones to crash and collide with other aircrafts. One of the major issues that need to be dealt with is the fact that drones crash a lot. For instance, in the article “The Drones Come Home” on page 7, John Horgan suggests the possible security risks domestic drones present, and supports the reasons through statistics. Horgan points out that “Since 2001, according to the…

On May 25, 1979 a McDonnell Douglas DC-10 wide body aircraft operated by American Airlines as Flight 191 was scheduled to fly an afternoon flight to Los Angeles International Airport from Chicago’s O’Hare International Airport carrying 258 passengers and 13 crewmembers. During the aircraft takeoff roll on runway 32 R at O’Hare International Airport, the engine #1 fell off the left wing. Initially, the aircraft climbed away from the runway in a wings level attitude, but shortly after, the DC-10…

These days many people argue about the best aircraft in the world, there are two aircrafts that people argue about first A380 from airbus family and the other one B747 from boeing family , each one of them has its advantages and disadvantages . However airbus 380 and Boeing 747 are the largest commercial aircrafts but there are similarities and differences between them. In this paper I am going to examine which aircraft is better A380 or B747. In order to do this I will present two main…

flight attendant fall into two categories, primary roles ( safety, emergency and first aid) and the secondary roles (the comfort of the passenger). The crew is responsible for the overall safety and security of the aircraft and passengers. Flight attendants have to constantly check the aircraft before, during and after departure. The checks include the seats, the lavatory, the cabin and storage, among others. They also have to constantly check on the passengers, in case there is any emergency,…

Air Missile Defense Radars. The invention of the radar system help create more jobs in the Navy and created more training as well. According to the Naval Research Laboratory, “Before the development of radar, Navy ships could track other ships or aircraft only by using optical techniques, sound ranging, or primitive radio direction finding” (n.p). The researchers came to a realization that it was necessary to find a new method of detection and ranging. Thus, upon the work on the radar system we…

Although the missile greatly altered tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs), logistics, and even support organizations, it did not seek to alter the fighter pilot culture and was therefore readily embraced by the pilots and the USAF. Unmanned aircraft provide a striking example of the opposite effect. As discussed above, the character of aerial combat had changed dramatically since its inception, but because culture remained constant, pilots across the time…

fleet in service nowadays. The aircraft industry is widely impacted by regulations and restrictions related to international trade, tax policy, and competition. But the Company has always managed to respect the laws and to get the necessaries approvals to continue the development of new technologies. It works with many nations in the defense industry which brings a lot of growth opportunities.…

Ever since I was just a youngster I have always had a fascination with airplanes. When I took my first trip on an airplane I was really uneasy about it. Then they brought me into the cockpit and let me see all the instruments and we talked about how planes worked. My fears all turned into fascinations and I realized how relaxing being in the air really was. After that I was almost sure that I wanted to get involved with planes. I found out about a program that could help me become more involved…

the Cold War the USSR was very hard to survey due to its size and security. Aircraft that got anywhere near Russian airspace were shot down which made it almost impossible to gain intelligence on Soviet Russia. Within a month of its first test flight the U-2 attempted to breach the “Iron Curtain” as it was called. As the plane…
