Ever since I was little I was amazed at the ability for a machine to fly. I have always wanted to explore ideas of flight and be able to actually fly. I think I may have found my childhood fantasy in the world of aeronautical engineering. The object of my paper is to give me more insight on my future career as an aeronautical engineer. This paper was also to give me ideas of the physics of flight and be to apply those physics of flight to compete in a high school competition.
He was dedicated to promote the idea of using airplanes in battle. Long before anyone else, he vigorously promoted the theory that the airplane would replace the fleet as America’s first line of defense. At first not very many people were willing to accept his theory, but he never gave up the idea of bringing in Airplanes to the United States army. After two years of Mitchell promoting his ideas the Army began to use airplanes in the battles at sea. The bombers that were brought in dominated the battle field and gave the United States a large advantage over their enemies. The outcome of William’s dedication was enormous, now there are over three-hundred thousand pilots serving on active duty today. Without William the air force would not be as large of an organization as it is today.
William was born in 1821 to former slaves in Burlington County, New Jersey. His father, Levin Steel, settled in a New Jersey farm after receiving his own freedom. Mr. Steel changed his name to Still to protect his wife, Sidney, who had permanently joined him when she succeeded in her second attempt to escape from slavery in Maryland. The first time she tried to escape, she fled with her four children but was recaptured. The second time, to secure their freedom, she escaped with only her two daughters. She was forced to leave two sons behind, Peter and Levy who were sold to slave owners in Alabama. She after changed her name from Sidney to Charity. Just simply that Williams father Levin...

He went to a place in Nebraska that would teach you how to fly for 500 dollars.. After he learned how to fly at this airfield. He became a show pilot once he learned how to fly .He wanted to fly faster planes so he started flying in the army then he started carrying US Mail.
George Hearst, William’s father was born in 1820 on a frontier plantation in Franklin, Missouri. George’s father died when he was 26. George was a very hard worker and loved his family very much. He worked odd jobs and in mines to pay off his fathers debt and to take care of his mother, sister and little brother. Mining fascinated young George and even though he could barely read he dwelled into geology books to learn more.

Wilbur and Orville Wright were American and pioneers of flight. Those two Wright brothers acquired the first mechanical, constant, and composed airplane flight in 1903. They exceeded their own discovery two years later when they built and flew the first fully constructive airplane. According to The Wright Brothers Article on Biography, both brothers were born four years apart, and they grew up in a small town in Ohio. They shared an intelligent concern and a propensity for science, at a time when the possibility of human flight was beginning to look like a reality. Together with each others support, the Wright brothers developed the first successful airplane in Kitty Hawk, North Carolina and they became national heroes. Considered the fathers
Wilbur and Orville Wright spent their lives building and working with mechanical devices. They began with little toys as children and then grew up and began working with bicycles. These works lead them towards their work with airplanes. The Wright Brothers tried for many years to build a successful flying machine and succeeded. The Wright Brothers laid the foundation for aviation when they made history by being the first to create a successful flying machine.
The Boeing Corporation is one of the largest manufacturers in the world. Rivaled only by European giant Airbus in the aerospace industry, Boeing is a leader in research, design and manufacture of commercial jet airliners, for commercial, industrial and military customers. Despite enjoying immense success in its market and dominating an industry that solely recognizes engineering excellence, it is crucial for Boeing to ensure continued growth through consistent strategy formulation and execution to avoid falling behind in market share to close and coming rivals.
No black school was available locally so he was forced to move. He said "Good-bye" to his adopted parents, Susan and Moses, and headed to Newton County in southwest Missouri. Here is where the path of his education began. He studied in a one-room schoolhouse and worked on a farm to pay for it. He ended up, shortly after, moving with another family to Fort Scott in Kansas. In Kansas, he worked as a baker in a kitchen while he attended the High School. He paid for his schooling with the money he earned from winning bake-off contests. From there he moved all over bouncing from school to school. "College entrance was a struggle again because of racial barriers."2 At the age of thirty he gained acceptance to Simpson College in Indianola, Iowa.

This was a reformatory and an orphanage. His father signed over custody to the Brothers, who were the Missionaries that ran the school.
Boeing has looked at everything from the design of the anti-collision lights, to the reduction of small gaps in the airfoil. This has created an aircraft that is extremely aerodynamic and efficient at any task it performs. The 737 was originally created on May 11, 1964, however it wasn’t until November 9, 1964 that production was officially approved. On February 19th 1965 Lufthansa placed its first order for the 737-100, and on the 9th of April 1967 the 737 flew for the first time. In 1970, Boeing had less than 35 orders for the 737 and considered canceling the program.
