Milestone 2: Core Competencies, Key Strengths, & Key Weaknesses Lockheed Martin Corporation is the largest Defense Contractor in the world with $46 billion in net sales in 2015 (10-K, 2016). Has been the prime contractor in many of the Air Forces biggest projects in recent years. No other contractor has been awarded a fighter or attack aircraft contract since 1988. Strengths Market Leading Position. Lockheed Martin is the world’s leader in combat and logistical aircraft, anti-missile systems, maritime

In June of 1974, the Soviet Union’s approval was given to begin the Reusable Space System (MKS). The project eventually came to be known as Buran, the name of the first shuttle built for the program. Buran was originally created to rival the technology of the United States at the time. Although the Soviet Union seemed to surpass the U.S. in early space exploration milestones such as the launch of the first satellite, the first probe to reach the moon, and the first man to orbit the Earth in space

The Boeing 737 is the best-selling jet airliner in the history of aviation. The following report will look in depth at the company Boeing itself and its roots, the planning and production of the 737 series of aircraft, the progression of the aircraft and its upgrades, the aviation human factors and airport planning factors considered during production, the next generation upgrades the aircraft has seen, and an overall evaluation of the aircraft systems involved when referring to the Boeing 737 aircraft

1.2 Aims According to the flat plate collectors that were install on houses in Cyprus, the aim of this investigate project is to produce several different ideas of how the water temperature will be increased when it exiting a pipe of the collector. Also some tests will be made in computational fluid dynamics (CFD) software to come across with the best idea and an efficiency curve will be generated. 1.3 Objectives To learn how to use Solidworks in 3D To understand and find out how Computational

ACHIEVEMENTS OF INDIA IN SPACE RESEARCH (1960-1970) The Indian space program began establishing itself with the launch of sounding rockets, which was complimented by India's geographical proximity to the equator. These were launched from the newly-established ThumbaEquatorial Rocket Launching Station (TERLS) , built near Thiruvananthapuram in southern Kerala. Initially, American sounding rockets like the Nike-Apache, and French sounding rockets like the Centaure, were fired and used for studying

The first fifty years in space saw its start when Russia launched Sputnik, the first man made satellite in 1957. This ignited the “Space Race” and spawned a generation of enthusiasm in space travel and the scientific studies that was mainly fueled by the West versus East mentality. It seemed like every kid wanted to be Neil Armstrong during that era and that kept the following generation interested in manned space flight. But, how relevant is manned space flight going to be in the next fifty years

Undergraduate Research Prajeepkumar G Nair ID: 3767986 Prof: Yiding Cao EML 4911 Undergrad Research Mechanical and Materials Engineering Department Florida International University September 19th, 2014 Abstract The aerodynamic characteristics of a Circulation Control Wing (CCW) air foil have been investigated and comparison studies were made by different companies and aeronautic organization throughout world. The program has been very intense and many original results have been granted

Artificial Intelligence and the Modern Military Wayne K Sullivan Saint Leo University MGT 327, CA01, Management Information Systems Professor Lawrence Mister November 26, 2011 Purpose: In today 's military, leaders are continuously seeking ways to incorporate new technology to take the place of human soldiers. It has long been an important goal to be able to remove the human element from the modern battlefield, thus enabling high risk or sensitive political operations to

INTRODUCTION:- Definition of a glider:- A glider is a aircraft that is supported in flight by the dynamic reaction of the air against its lifting surfaces, and whose free flight does not depend on an engine. Working of a glider:- The wings on a glider have to produce enough lift to balance the weight of the glider. The faster the glider goes the more lift the wings make. If the glider flies fast enough the wings will produce enough lift to keep it in the air. But, the wings and the body of the
