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

Helicopters have the unique ability to take off, hover, and land anywhere, unlike traditional planes. Along with providing lift, helicopter main rotors are the source of destructive vibrations that can severely damage the aircraft, if not dealt with properly. Helicopter track and balance, or rotor smoothing is a maintenance procedure done to minimize airframe vibrations that consequently cause cracks, crew fatigue, and premature component failure. Track and balance is both time consuming and expensive

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

Warrior The U.S. Army has always recognized the need for an aerial scout helicopter, however following the Vietnam War, the Army slowly realized a need to also arm its aerial scouts. The following development lasted over 30 years and encompassed the A to F models. The OH-58 Kiowa Warrior helicopter began development in 1962 under the Army’s Light Observation Helicopter program. Originally designed as the D250 by Bell Helicopter, it was selected by the Army and subsequently designated the YHO-4A. Bell

ABSTRACT Helicopter is known for being extremely challenging to fly. The helicopter flight controls enables the pilot to attain a controlled flight. The flight controls differ drastically when compared to the fixed wing aircraft. The advancement in flight controls namely fly-by-wire system has resulted in reducing the complexity of the system. The state of the art fly-by-wire system has resulted in increasing the performance and at the same time reduces the workload of a pilot. The four main controls

An Influential Experience for Me: Going Abroad to Study Many people experience an event that changes their habits and attitudes, and so have I. Having never imagined going to another country to study, I was satisfied with my daily life: having nine classes every day, a vast amount of homework, and endless cramming for school just like most students in China. Until one day, after being told the idea of going abroad, I started to change my life. Going abroad to study, the most influential event to

“Thank You Ma’am” is an American short story written by Langston Hughes. The story was published in 1958; however, some people, including me, seem to believe that it was written in the 1930’s due to the racial undertones (www.americanliterature.com 1). Also, Langston wrote many of his short stories in the 1930’s. In the story, a boy named Roger tries to steal a purse from what seems to be a large, African American, elderly lady named Mrs. Luella Bates Washington Jones. When Roger reaches out and

Prompt 1: The problem with helicopter parenting Some parents believe that protecting their children and over focusing on their children at all time can be advantageous for their children. However, that’s not always the case. Parents over focusing on theirs children can have a lot of negative effects on the kids. Some parents are doing everything they can for their children and that’s a good thing, yet, doing everything for the kids when their kids are adult can lead to some problems too. There are

Overparenting has been a popular media topic recently. Whereas parents used to stop supporting their children as soon as they turned eighteen (Etterson 5), more and more parents are continuing to hover, which is commonly referred to as helicopter parenting (“Helicopter” 1). This type of parenting involves “... inappropriate levels of parental directiveness, tangible assistance, problem-solving, monitoring, and involvement into the lives of children” (Segrin, et al. 1). Even though helping a child learn

On December 24, 1905, an aviation prodigy who would eventually change the entire industry was born. Howard Hughes, son of wealthy oil business owners inherited the family fortune at 18 after his parents’ untimely demise. He would go on to found several successful companies including the Hughes Aircraft Company, which would go on to create several aviation breakthroughs. I chose Howard Hughes for my report because my grandpa just retired from working at Raytheon which merged with Hughes Aircraft back
