Here you can learn all about Aviation such as flight crash investigation, groundbreaking technologies, industry trends, and more that help you understand the vast spread world of aviation with the comfort of your couch.
All you need to know about jet aircraft. Hello, my dear reader! Have you ever heard the cliche term ‘jet speed’?Primarily known for their speed, they fly at speeds very much higher than the usual aircraft. At the highest efficiency, jets travel at the speed of sound. Hence, they are famous for their increased speed …

Everything you need to know about Piston Aircraft. The propeller of a piston-powered aircraft is connected to one or more piston-powered engines. The engines of these aircraft are powered by piston engines. These aircraft are used for flying below 15,000 feet. Technically used for short flight missions, these aircraft cover 300- 400 miles(to know more …

All you need to know about turboprop aircraft. Passengers fasten your seat, for we are about to take off in our very own turboprop aircraft. This type of aircraft has a turbine that turns the propeller of the aircraft. The air in this type of aircraft enters right through the intake and is compressed by …
Everything that flies gaining support from the air is called aircraft. Aircraft propel into the air using static and dynamic lifts of the airfoil(check out what is a lift in aerodynamics)The basic forces of aerodynamics play a vital role in the flight of aircraft(Read: basic aerodynamics of flight).To frame it in simple words, thrust accelerates …

The history of Air travel goes back to over 2000 years. Wright brothers were a build-up of all work done by many ancestors.
Tracing back history of helicopters There is a story of Chinese children playing with bamboo flying toys. The year told is about 400 BC that is a long long time.. Certain designs similar to renaissance paintings were found in the renaissance paintings too. Leonardo da Vinci in the early 1480s described vertical flight using an …

BOMBARDIER Bombardier is certainly considered one of the biggest enterprise jet manufacturers. It has its headquarters in Canada. Initially, the agency transformed itself into a snowmobile manufacturer and subsequently improved its activity in the rail, air, and then the public transport sectors. It mainly focused on the manufacture of products, structures, and the supply of …
The force that moves the aircraft across the skies is called thrust. Thrust comes into action when the weight of the aircraft as well as the drag affects the motion of the aircraft. Still, confused? Go ahead and read the articles on Drag in aerodynamics. Thrust is the only force that moves forward whereas the …

Tracing back the history of Aerodynamics The branch of dynamics that is reliant on the study of the motion of air is called aerodynamics. Right-back in the 2nd and 3rd centuries BC, Aristotle and Archimedes(the bathtub guy obviously), had their hands work on the fundamental concepts of aerodynamics. The quantitative theory only began when Isaac …
What is drag coefficient? The measure of the effectiveness of a streamlined aerodynamic body shape that promotes reducing the air resistance to the forward motion of a vehicle is called the drag coefficient. Any solid in the air is subjected to the basic forces of flight( read: Basic forces of flight). The function of the …
Embraer Brazilian aeronautics company: Embraer is a great Brazilian multinational aerospace manufacturing company. It was founded on August 19, 1969, by Ozires Silva. Brazil is the headquarters of Embraer. The company is the third-largest producer of civil aircraft, which comes after Boeing and Airbus. The main products are Business, commercial and military aircraft and mission …

Aerodynamics comes from the Greek words, ἀήρ aero (air) + δυναμική (dynamics). The study of the motion of air when it is subjected to a solid object is called aerodynamics. In general, it can be stated as the study of gases in motion. However, when we think about aerodynamics the first thing that pops up in our head is a picture of an airplane, it found to be applied in various applications such as designing automobiles and trains, etc. Also if interested you can read more about aviation here on my author page.
What is drag? The drag in aerodynamics can be defined as an opposing force on the motion of the aircraft. Every part of the aircraft, along with the engine is found to produce drag. This mechanical force is not formed due to a force field(gravitational field or electromagnetic field). The force field arises even when …
The lift in aerodynamics can be defined as an upward force acting on an aircraft. Any aircraft in the air tends to experience an upward lift force, along with the thrust of the engine. The force of its weight and a drag force acts along.
Introduction: The wing of the aircraft has a unique feature called the airfoil. An airfoil is a unique shaped surface that is used to lift and drag the aircraft while propelling. Airfoil can also be spelled as an aerosol. The lifting of an airfoil is solely due to the angle of attack. Check out our other …
