Attack helicopter

The Evolution of Attack Helicopters in Vietnam Every technological advance has a time in place were it grows expeditiously to a point where most of the technology has been developed and from there on it is just a matter of improving it. For example, fixed wing aviation has been around for more than one hundred years and the aircraft have evolved quickly at first but after the first 30 to 40 years they haven’t change from the original configuration much. For attack aviation that was Vietnam 1958-1975

On our way there we had seen several attack helicopters, I am guessing it’s an attack helicopter company that makes them. So I had an idea to go and try to steal one. The only tough part about infiltrating the company was that you had to have an employee badge. We needed a way to disguise ourselves. So, what we did was

Assessment – Helicopters You need to research information (using the internet) that includes answers for the following questions: 1. How the turning rotor makes a helicopter move upwards 2. How the rotor is made to turn in a helicopter and in an autogyro 3. How autorotation is used to help land a helicopter safely if the engine fails 4. Why a helicopter; falling during autorotation, could reach a terminal speed without the pilot changing any controls 5. The effect of the weight of the helicopter on terminal

operations through movement to contact, attack, recon, security, air assault, air movement, and aeromedical

Austria had the idea to float a hot air balloon over the city of Venice and open a trap door causing explosives to rain down on the city. Some of the attacks were successful, but there were many factors that had not been taken into account. The major issue was getting the balloons where they needed to be. If the wind was not gusting in the right direction, it made navigation impossible. Another UAV attempt

Items such as automated external defibrillators used for heart attacks, insulin medications used for diabetic attacks, epinephrine pens used for anaphylactic shock from an acute allergy attacks. These devices can be used by bystanders while paramedics are in-route. IR Camera Infrared cameras are not new technology. However, when secured to a drone, that drone would have the

that are taken from a high point or elevated location. It captures different subjects from a completely new perspective, thereby producing shots that are great and unique. Aerial photographs are taken from an aircraft such as drones, balloons, helicopters, parachutes, satellites, kites, etc. Why Use Aerial Photography? Aerial photography can be a challenging yet rewarding experience because it can give you spectacular and memorable aerial photos that are different from terrestrial photographs.

The basic principle of close range (terrestrial) photogrammetry will be explained in this section. “Photogrammetry is the art and science of deriving accurate metric and descriptive information from analog and digital images” (Habib et al., 2006; Habib Ghanma Al-Ruzouq Kim a; Ayman Paper A.F. Habib, K.I. Bang, M. Aldelgawy). Wolf, 1983 defined the photogrammetry as the art, science and technology of obtaining reliable information about physical objects and environment through the process of recording

CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION 1.1 Overview In this modern era, technology may have seem to be taking its limit off, be it in any kind of industry. Where in aviation, the innovation keeps continuing to discover new ideas. World-wide no longer discuss about The Wright Brothers, the main spotlight now has been given to Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (best known for its acronym UAV). This is where the drones and robotics story comes together in much more advance collaboration. UAV is a type of aircraft designed

Although multirotors on a small scale offer the advantages of having fixed pitch rotors and simpler linkages for rotor actuation, a helicopter with a single rotor will actually have a smaller footprint (Hoffman, 2007; Beckett, 2014). This makes it easier to navigate into difficult landing zones. Small multirotors also generally have a separate motor for each rotor, which would make the
