The year was 2026, the time was 5:03 pm, it was 14-year-old, Max Fleisher’s 365th day stranded on a small patch of sand in the pacific. Right about now Max could remember the feeling of his mom rubbing her hands through his luscious, slightly gelled, curly, lengthy blonde hair, then, him staring down his little sister Mel with his piercing green eyes and him telling his father he loved him for the very last time. The miserable day crossed Max’s mind once again, the day he lost his whole family in

Leonardo Da Vinci’s Aerial Screw is said to be the predecessor of the modern day helicopter, which came 450 years later. The idea was to build a machine that would compress air and allow it to fly, like how most modern day helicopters function. Like many of Da Vinci’s ideas, the Aerial Screw was never physically built or tested by himself, but his sketches and notes explained exactly how it was supposed to have worked. This machine was also called the Helical Air Screw, which originated from the

I always knew I had a purpose. Seven simple words were written in straight, clean lines on the top of M’s stack of notecards. They were her introduction, an introduction to a speech that M had slaved over because it needed to be perfect. One by one, she riffled through the cards in her deck, reading and whispering the speech aloud. This was going to be, perhaps, the most important hour in M Freeman’s life. She had agonized over her speech during the entire ride to New York City. It was rare for

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

Robert M. Carton Principles of Accident Causation March 12, 2017 APT #10  1. How do airspeed indicators and altimeters work? Both airspeed indicators and altimeters are relatively similar to one another. The airspeed indicator utilizes and receives data from the pitot tube and the static port on an aircraft. In short the air pressure is collected by the pitot tube is compared to the static air pressure to give the pilot an accurate indication of how fast the aircraft is moving. The pitot

influence the success of the organization through their productivity and efficiency in performing routine tasks and duties. Regarding Lockheed Martin and specifically the Sikorsky sector, these are the people who develop and create the military helicopters to be sold for a profit. Sikorsky wants its employees to be more than satisfied; happy employees will maintain or even hopefully increase productivity and efficiency in the workplace driving more sales and generating more revenue. The employees

A quadcopter is four rotor helicopter or quadrotor, that is a multirotor helicopter that is lifted and propelled by four rotors and the quadcopters are identified as rotorcraft and not to be confused with the fixed-wing aircraft, because the lifting force of a quadcopter is provided by four rotors. Quadcopters uses four fixed propellers out of which two rotors are rotating in clockwise direction and the other two are rotating in anticlockwise direction. The quadcopter uses self sustaining variation

photography was used just as a hobby but now it has gained a professional status. You may have watched in some movies and advertisements, some mesmerizing aerial views of mountains, valleys and landscapes. Big budget films and companies can arrange for a helicopter to get this job done. But a cheaper alternative is provided by these drones. These drones are available at small expenses. A simple drone can be rented from online market places at just 30 to 40 $. Even though these drones cannot be used for heavy

vertical take-off aircraft. When he returned to the United States, Weygers joined Marian in Los Angeles, where he wound up working for Northrop Aviation before moving to Carmel Valley. The helicopter was just being developed and Weygers was attracted to the project. Instinctively Weygers realized that helicopters were highly vulnerable. They had ungainly boxlike shapes and their exposed rotors were clearly a weak
