The Messerschmitt Bf 109, also known as the Me 109, was a short, sleek German plane. It could climb and dive faster than British planes, but could not turn nearly as well. The Me 109 could reach up to 398mph with a maximum altitude of 39,370. The Me 109 had a wingspan 32.5 ft and 32,984 were built. The Hawker Hurricane, a British plane, claimed more than half of the German planes shot down during the Battle of Britain. The Hawker Hurricane had a top speed 325mph with a maximum altitude 34,000ft. The British plane had a wingspan 40ft with a total of 14,533 built. Radar worked by sending out a radio wave and analyzed the reflected wave once it bounced off objects. With radar the user was able to know if any submarines, ships, or planes were
On April 4, 2011, the Governor of California Edmund G. Brown signed AB 109. Signing this bills redefined felonies and also gives responsibilities to watching over certain criminals and parolees who live in the State or County Prisons. "Public Safety Realignment Act" also know as AB 109 is commonly grouped with bills AB 117 and AB 118 which prevents anyone who commits a Non-Violent Crime, Non-serious, Non-sex offender after the day of October 1 in the year 2011, would no longer be sent to state prison and will instead be placed in a County jail. Anyone who is going to be released from the state prison for committing any of the previous mentioned crimes, will now be placed under supervision of a local County Probation Department and with a state parole officer.
Unit 10 was a closure for the previous four units in the process of inventing Canada. This unit based on the earliest resources on Canadian history and on the first nations whom lived in this country. This resources were about pre-Cartier and his explorations. Some nations, for example the people who lived in St. Lawrence valley – whom did not have a specific name to be called at- and historians still lacking enough evidence on their existence or what happened with them. These people who are identified as St. Lawrence Iroquoians were lived in the contact area which means the conquerors reached them first. The Iroquoians were exposed to all the dangers Europeans carried into the native lands, different types of diseases they were not immune
The many different models of planes were helpful in their own unique way. It seems the most helpful of all was the Supermarine Spitfire. Not only did we pay money for the Air Force, we paid for it with the lives of the courageous members of the Force. The dark time of WWII definitely scared this Earth for many years, and military aircraft are just a reminder of the time. However, the reminder of WWII doesn’t have to be painful. Since 1945, people have begun to love the old planes used in battle. Many people like to go to airshows, where old military aircraft set to the sky in a performance of skill. My own grandpa, who is past 80 years old, decorates his house with models of aircrafts from the time. Air & Space magazine says, “Combat Aircrafts that were everyday companions to airmen in the WWII generation have become extraordinary treasures to many in the next”, and many have proved this to be
The attacks on Hamburg were not a turning point of the war as Bomber Command’s fortunes had completely disappeared once they started targeting Berlin, where their loss rates peaked to unacceptably high levels. Therefore Gee made less of an impact in assisting the Allied strategic bombing of Germany compared to Window. However the impact on Hamburg caused by Window was relatively short-lived because the Germans countered. On the other hand the long range escort fighters, disposable fuel tanks and The Thousand Bomber raids had a long-lived impact. The P-51 Mustang was an important aircraft in the war that had an American airframe and a British Rolls-Royce ‘Merlin’ Engine. Disposable fuel tanks, which increased the Allied fighter’s range were loaded onto the P-51 Mustang and by March 1944, the modified Mustang had a 1800 mile armed range and could fly with the bombers to Berlin and back. Richard Ovary said ‘The long-range escort fighter transformed the air war overnight.’ Lastly the thousand-bomber raid on 30th to 31st May 1942 against Cologne saw the destruction of a third of the inner zone of Cologne along with the destroying of 20000 houses and the evacuation of 200000 people.
“Gender the quality is not a woman's issue, it is a human issue. It affects us all”. What does that mean? It means that all people are created equal in God's eyes. Yet this is still a serious topic that has been going on for ages and ages. Even in the sports industry. In today's world there is been a new law called Title IX. Title IX has been around for a long time now, yet it still creates a controversy. Many people put title IX only with sports, but that is what it is only involved in. It is involved in things like education, occupational things also. This paper will talk about Woman's life before Title IX, Title IX his head a kooky past history., who and what it applies to, how it has helped men and woman, how it has helped woman, if it
Allied bombing campaigns relied on the presence of escort fighters, and the Luftwaffe simply could not spare any from the Defense of the Reich campaign. Despite the abysmal state of the German air force, a glimmer of hope was present in the form of a new wonder-weapon: the jet engine. Turbojet aircraft could fly higher, faster, and longer than their prop counterparts, but were poorly researched and experimented upon at the time. Nevertheless, desperate for a wonder weapon, the Luftwaffe funded the development of the first jet fighter, the Me 262 Schwalbe, in 1942. Equipped with air-to-air rockets and a quadruple 30mm cannon pack, the Schwalbe was frighteningly effective in its role as an interceptor. Of course, it was entirely unsuitable for long-range bomber work. However, now that jet engines could be more easily produced, the Luftwaffe sought to revive the strategic bomber program, hoping to create an aircraft which could evade enemy interception with its superior speed and altitude. Thus, Hermann Goering announced that a military contract would be awarded to any manufacturer capable of producing a bomber with a range of 1000 kilometers, a speed of 1000 km/h, and a payload of 1000 kilograms. At the time, these requirements were nigh
Airplanes were in a similar position as tanks - the technology was really too new and immature for effective combat use. At best, the airplane provided better observation and reconnaissance ability than previously available, but, in a static trench-warfare setting (with the commonly poor European weather), the amount of benefit this provided is easy to overstate. Tactical and strategic bombing was non-existent; the airplane would have to wait for the wars of
World War One was a time of tremendous sadness and great innovation. One of the fruits of war that can still be seen today is the airplane. At the time before the war, aircrafts were extremely bulky and inefficient to a point where they served no purpose in war. Until one day in World War 1 when everything changed forever. As BBC News stats “For the British it all started on 13 August 1914 at 08:20, when Lieutenant H D Harvey-Kelly landed the first Royal Flying Corps (RFC) aircraft to deploy in WW1 at Amiens in northern France.” (BBC News). To the average person this is not that grand of an achievement. But on the contrary, this was a hefty order for Harvey-Kelly to fulfill with the conditions of the battlefield. Harvey-Kelly faced not just
The creation or reinvention of the radar was one of the most important inventions in World War II. ETHW states that a “radar works by sending out radio waves and detecting any reflections from distant objects”. In other words is a way of getting information. This object was placed in airplanes, ships, or submarines to locate their enemies and bombing targets. A great question could be asked, why is this innovation so important? The invention of the radar changed completely the way of how troops attacked their opponents, and made it easier for them to locate an attack made from other parts, not to mention that it could be used from miles away.
The most used German bomber of WWII is the Heinkel HE 111 H-3. This plane was originally created in 1935. It was produced as a prototype but later became the most used bomber for the Reich. The Heinkel HE 111 H-3 is a medium bomber with a maximum speed of 270 mph, and a maximum range of 2,640 miles. This monster of the skies was designed to bomb Britain.
The wingspan was 37 feet with an area of 233 square feet and was 32 feet 3 inches long. Height was 13 feet 8 inches. The Packard-built Merlin V-1650-7 was capable of delivering 1,695 horsepower which provided a speed of 437 mph at 25,000 feet. Weights were 7,125 lbs. empty and 10,100 lbs. normal gross, but an additional 2,000 lbs. could be carried. The internal fuel capacity was 105 gallons, giving a range of 950 miles at 362 miles per hour at 25,000 feet. The P-51H series was the final production that included several changes making it the fastest production variant with a maximum speed of 487 mph at 25,000 feet. Five hundred fifty-five P-51H's were delivered before VJ Day out of an original order for 1,445 planes The P-51 mustangs considered to be the best piston aircraft of World War II and became one of the world's most elite aircraft. A total of 14,819 Mustangs of all types were built for the USAAF. American Mustangs destroyed 4,950 enemy aircraft making them the highest scoring US fighter in the Europe Theater of Operations. They were used as dive-bombers, bomber escorts, ground-attackers, interceptors, for photo-recon missions, trainers, transports (with a jump-seat), and after the war, high performance
Whittle’s first prototype met with limited success in 1937. The National Academy of Science’s Committee on Gas Turbines reported that Whittle’s jet engine “couldn’t fly.” Whittle’s response was, “Good thing I was too dumb to know this.” Whittle’s E.28/39 engine first flew in the Pioneer airplane on 5 May 1941, tested by pilot Gary Sayer. Whittle’s next hurdle was the control of his invention. Now that Whittle had proved himself, the aircraft industry and government wanted outsource production of the jet engines to the companies that had made the piston driven engines. Rover was the first company given the building contract but quickly fell behind schedule. In 1943 the contract was given to Rolls Royce. Whittle thought that development should have been left with his company Power Jets, they knew what they were doing. The plans and an engine were sent to America to copy for its experimental P-59 Airacomet. Whittle was impressed with the level of enthusiasm the Americans showed. Meanwhile the Meteor was not ready to enter combat until 1944. The Me-626 airplane (German) never saw action with the Meteor because Hitler decreed that the Me-626 should be used as a ground attack aircraft instead of a fighter. The British 619 Squadron was the first unit to operate jet powered fighters in victory in August 1944. The Allies win the war but Whittle loses another battle.
Radar is an electromagnetic system for the detection and location of reflecting objects such as aircraft, ships, space craft, vehicles, people, and the natural environment. It operates by radiating energy into space and detecting the echo signal reflected from an object, or target. The reflected energy that is returned to the radar not only indicates the presence of a target, but by comparing the received echo signal that was transmitted, its location can be determined along with the target-related information.
RADAR is one of the military force development. It has many military purposes behind. It is an item recognition framework which works by radio waves. According to BBC News, “It can be used to detect aircraft, ships, spacecraft, guided missiles, motor vehicles, weather formations, and terrain” (RADAR, Par. 1). RADAR allows to see the objects in airspace. It is used to protect areas. It is utilized by most civil landing strips everywhere throughout the planet as a part of flying and wellbeing
Radar is a tool that uses microwave radiation to find out and locate faraway objects that are usually shown on the screen.
