Bernoulli’s principle

State that the in a steady flow of a fluid the pressure of the fluid decreases when the velocity of the fluid increases.

Menyatakan bahawa kawasan bendalir yang bergerak dengan halaju tinggi akan menghasilkan tekanan yang lebih rendah.





Archimedes’ principle

State that an object, whether completely or partially immersed in a fluid is acted on by a buoyant force which is equal to the weight of the displaced fluid.

Menyatakan bahawa jasad yang direndam atau separa rendam dalam bendalir akan ditindakkan oleh satu daya julangan ke atas yang sama nilai dengan berat bendalir yang tersesar oleh jasad itu.




Pascal principle
State that in an enclosed fluid an externally applied pressure is transmitted uniformly in all directions.

Menyatakan bahawa tekanan yang dikenakan pada satu titik cecair akan dipindahkan ke seluruh cecair.




The principle of conservation of energy
State that the energy cannot be created or destroyed. It can be transformed from one form to another, but the total energy in a system is constant.

Menyatakan bahawa tenaga tidak boleh dicipta atau dimusnahkan tetapi boleh berubah bentuk ke benntuk yg lain.



The principle of conservation of momentum

The total momentum of a system is constant, if no external force acts on the system.

Jumlah momentum sebelum perlanggaran = Jumlah momentum selepas perlanggaran.

What is Aeronautics?

Definition


Aeronautics is the study of the science of flight. Aeronautics is the method of

designing an airplane or other flying machine. There are four basic areas that

aeronautical engineers must understand in order to be able to design planes. To

design a plane, engineers must understand all of these elements.



Design Process


1 Aerodynamics is the study of how air flows around the airplane. By studying the

way air flows around the plane the engineers can define the shape of the plane. The

wings, the tail, and the main body or fuselage of the plane all affect the way the

air will move around the plane.




2. Propulsion is the study of how to design an engine that will provide the thrust

that is needed for a plane to take off and fly through the air. The engine provides

the power for the airplane. The study of propulsion is what leads the the engineers

determine the right kind of engine and the right amount of power that a plane will

need



3. Materials and Structures is the study of what materials are to be used on the

plane and in the engine and how those materials make the plane strong enough to fly

effectively. The choice of materials that are used to make the fuselage wings, tail

and engine will affect the strength and stability of the plane. Many airplane

materials are now made out of composites, materials that are stronger than most

metals and are lightweight.



4. Stability and Control is the study of how to control the speed, direction,

altitude and other conditions that affect how a plane flies. The engineers? design

the controls that are needed in order to fly and instruments are provided for the

pilot in the cockpit of the plane. The pilot uses these instruments to control the

stability of the plane during flight.

Flight level

A Flight Level (FL) is a standard nominal altitude of an aircraft, in hundreds of

feet. This altitude is calculated from the |international standard pressure datum of

1013.25 hPa (29.92 inHg), the average sea-level pressure, and therefore is not

necessarily the same as the aircraft's true altitude either above mean sea level or

above ground level.

Black box

Black box is a technical term for a device, system or object when it is viewed in terms of its input, output and transfer characteristics without any knowledge required of its internal workings. Almost anything might occasionally be referred to as a black box: a transistor, an algorithm, humans, the Internet.

The opposite of a black box is a system where the inner components or logic are available for inspection (such as a free software/open source program), which is sometimes known as a white box, a glass box, or a clear box.

Morse code

Morse code is a type of character encoding that transmits telegraphic information using rhythm. Morse code uses a standardized sequence of short and long elements to represent the letters, numerals, punctuation and special characters of a given message.

The short and long elements can be formed by sounds, marks, or pulses, in on off keying and are commonly known as "dots" and "dashes" or "dits" and "dahs". The speed of Morse code is measured in words per minute (WPM) or characters per minute.

Originally created for Samuel F. B. Morse's electric telegraph in the early 1840s, Morse code was also extensively used for early radio communication beginning in the 1890s.

In the early part of the twentieth century, the majority of high-speed international communication was conducted in Morse code, using telegraph lines, undersea cables, and radio circuits.

However, the variable length of the Morse characters made it hard to adapt to automated circuits, so for most electronic communication it has been replaced by machine readable formats, such as Baudot code and ASCII.

The most popular current use of Morse code is by amateur radio operators, although it is no longer a requirement for amateur licensing in many countries. In the professional field, pilots and air traffic controllers are usually familiar with Morse code and require a basic understanding.

Navigational aids in the field of aviation, such as VORs and NDBs, constantly transmit their identity in Morse code. Morse code is designed to be read by humans without a decoding device, making it useful for sending automated digital data in voice channels.

For emergency signals, Morse code can be sent by way of improvised sources that can be easily "keyed" on and off, making Morse code one of the most versatile methods of telecommunication in existence.

Making Them Fly

The "secrets" to making paper airplanes fly well are largely the same adjustments which make hand launched gliders fly well.

Most people have the unfortunate idea that a good paper airplane needs no adjustments after the basic folds are finished. All real airplanes have trim tabs to make small adjustments to the plane, and all paper airplanes need small adjustments to fly their best.

There are a few basic adjustments and principles which will transform the paper airplane novice into a paper airplane expert.

The following flying tips are generally covered in my books, but I go into a little more detail here.

ATA chapter numbers

The ATA Chapter numbers provide a common referencing standard for all commercial aircraft documentation. This commonality permits greater ease of learning and understanding for pilots and engineers alike.

The standard numbering system is controlled and published by the Air Transport Association.

The unique aspect of the chapter numbers is its relevance for all aircraft. Thus a chapter reference number for a Boeing 747 will be the same for a BAe 125.

Examples of this include Oxygen (Chapter 35), Electrical Power (Chapter 24) and Doors (Chapter 52).
