Titanium is a strong, light metal. It is as strong as steel and twice as strong as aluminum, but is 45% lighter than steel and only 60% heavier than aluminum. Titanium is not easily corroded by seawater and is one of the elements in the periodic table discovered by the British chemist, Reverend William Gregor in 1791, in Cornwall, Great Britain. Titanium was originally named Gregorite after William Gregor. As he was mining one day he found a residue he couldn't identify and thought it might be a
Titanium (Ti) is an element found in group 4 and period 4 on the periodic table. The atomic number of Titanium is 22. Titanium is the ninth most abundant element on the earth’s surface, and the fourth most common metallic element. Titanium is not found alone in nature; rather it has to be extracted from titanium dioxide or titanium iron oxide. Titanium dioxide (Ti02) is commonly found in rutile and titanium iron oxide (FeTiO3) is commonly found in ilmenite. Rutile and ilmenite are found predominately
After studying the Aloha aircraft accident in 1933, our group is interested in the investigation in Human performances factors in maintenance and inspection. We have divided the investigation into 5 aspects: Investigation: 1. The lack of inattention of the mechanics in practical procedures and policies planning. Aloha Airline operated inter-island flight in Hawaii, therefore, Aloha 243 was operating in salt water environment. During each flight, there was a risk that the air saturated with
Drones are unmanned remote controlled aircraft. They have been used by many industries, by government agencies and consumers. The government wants to be able to use them in international issues and also in the city for crimes. Consumers want to be able to deliver goods to customers quickly and efficiently. Then, you have the everyday consumer that just wants them for the entertainment aspect, for sporting events or discovering new land. In the last few years, drones are starting to be used for
Frequency" and has wavelengths of around 2m. This is where you find stereo "FM" radio stations, such as "Galaxy 101" and "GWR FM". Further up the VHF band are civilian aircraft and taxis. [IMAGE]UHF stands for "Ultra High Frequency", and has wavelengths of less than a metre. It's used for Police radio communications, military aircraft radios and television transmissions. Large doses of radio waves are believed to cause cancer, leukaemia and other disorders. Some people claim that the very low
History of BMW1916- 1960 A. B.M.W was founded in Munich Germany in 1916 to assemble aircraft engines. B. In 1923 the first motorcycles leave the B.M.W. plant and would set the standard for motorcycles for the next 70 years. C. The first car ever produced by B.M.W was the "Dixi" in 1932 D. The BMW 328, built between 1936 and 1940, is a milestone in automobile history and was the most successful sports car of the 30s. It was created very quickly at a low budget but still showed the attention
varied and essential. Many different aspects of the club used physics principles including the winch (for take-off), the launch cable, the tow plane, the glider itself and many more. The glider is an aircraft in the simplest sense of the word. Equipped with only a large pair of wings, a light fuselage and a pilot and no engine a Glider can only glide. This means that a Glider must come down sooner or later. To discover how the Glider stays up in the air we must look at the most basic laws
type of supervision and delivery methods are not efficient and enhancing advertising features. Commerciail Use The use of drones to deliver goods to remote areas make a lot of sense especially in areas where there are no facilities for light aircraft to land and the supplier only has the choice of a helicopter. Helicopters are very expensive to operate and when a small item needs to be delivered to a person needing a medical device such as a respirator a drone is well suited to do so.
However, depending on what you want to do with a drone you might need to be certified first. RCA’s do not require any sort of certifications, but still must comply with certain operating conditions. Recreational UAV’s are hobby aircrafts that are equipped for extended duration autonomous flight, but the US government still classify these as RCA’s so a certification is not required. Commercial RCA’s must meet the equipment and certification requirements of actual drones. A government
United States had been in a period of isolationism since the close of the First World War. The citizens of this country were not expecting the attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7th , 1941 although there have been some pieces of evidence brought to light that the government had an idea that Hawaii might be a possible target if Japan were to attack. Over the following 4 years after the attack the United States went through some drastic changes and the citizens of this great nation pulled together and
start broad and work your way in when it come to security of an airport. The first part that one would want to think about when it comes the security of an airport is the grounds itself. I would ask myself if there is fencing around the perimeter, lights, and camera’s. The next aspect would be the personal, who are they and where are they positioned. Once you have the perimeter and personal I would start looking at the facility itself. Meaning the terminal, FBO’s, hangers etc. When considering security
Question 1: Question 2: When materiel choose to be part of making any kind of products several specifications and tests must be satisfied to make sure that the materiel is 100% suitable , materiel choice must satisfy the terms of productivity, price, performance and safety . Manufacturers depend on steel to protect us. Because of its strength, durability and dependability, steel is also the key to recycling all automobiles at the end of its long life as it is continuously recyclable

by saying, “It hadn’t been that easy to fight the resentment expressed by players on other teams, by the team owners, or by bigoted fans screaming “n---.” He continues by saying, “I had been forced to live with snubs and rebuffs and rejections.” In light of these painful and difficult events Robinson continued to grow and develop. Robinson decided to focus on his accomplishments, which helped him to appreciate the courage and love that the team owner and his wife

JetBlue Airways Corporation – You above all JetBlue Airways Corporation is a premier non-union airline headquartered in Long Island City of New York, and operating out of John. F. Kennedy airport as its primary base. Several of their initial employees, including founder David Neeleman, were former employees of Southwest Airlines. They brought the low-cost flying experience from their former workplace, but married it to better array of amenities. That helped JetBlue carve a unique identity which competed
At the ripe old age of 18, my firm conviction is that experience builds character. Growing up, I have been through interesting times, some good and others bad. This, I feel, has made me who I am and what I stand for. I characterize myself as someone who is hungry to effect change, not just to the world, but in the way people look at the world. My experiences have guided me to the conclusion that my prime interest lies in Engineering. One of my earliest memories is of my grandfather calling out

NASA's Contribution to Technological Advances on Earth Abstract NASA is more than just a space administration; it shows itself everyday in the world although at first it might not be apparent. There are not many people that know the variety of what it has brought to everyday life. NASA is not limited to just aerospace technology. The three main fields of development have been medical, environmental and consumer products. Each field is equally important to technological development. NASA’s
