Using Oil And Its Byproducts
INTRODUCTION
Throughout the years mankind has been using oil and its byproducts as a means of propulsion.
However, we live in a world of finite resources and as oil is depleting it is necessary to find different
resources. Using electricity as means of propulsion instead of internal combustion engines which is
the current trend in most mechanical applications such as those in cars, ships and airplanes is what
the world has deemed to be a solution to the over use of oil and its byproducts. Electricity is a
resource which is significantly cleaner to the environment than that of oil, especially if generated by
"green" means such as solar power, wind energy, etc.
With this concept in mind, airplanes, which provide a means of transportation, ... Show more

THE MORE ELECTRIC AIRCRAFT
The more electric aircraft (MEA) is a concept which describes the use of electronics in the existing
airplane designs. As per (Kostakis, et al., 2014) cabin pressurization, air–conditioning and anti–ice
wing protection require pneumatic power, flight surface actuation, landing gear and breaking require
hydraulic power, and finally, engine fuel and oil pumps require mechanical power. Electrical power
is limited to cabin lights, fans and avionics. However, on a MEA electrical power is used to power
some or all the above mentioned loads. Additionally, two new technological features are
incorporated on a MEA, the bleed–less engine and the electrical self–start of the engine. In a bleed–
less engine, all of the air–intake is converted into thrust, without it having to be bypassed away from
the compressors, as it would in a conventional engine, to power pneumatic loads. Bleed air is still
required on the engine for operability reasons, but by reducing the amount of bleed–air required,
this could allow the removal of some heavy equipment such as fans and ducts, and provides
potential improvements in engine reliability. This architectural shift has brought benefits such as
weight reduction, optimized performance and reduced life–cycle costs for the plane operator.
Nonetheless, the increase in on–board electrical energy

Boeing D-340 Pointer
Bell–Boeing conceived the D–340 Pointer TiltRotor UAV in 1986 as part of the a Bell Helicopter
Textron and Boeing Helicopter TiltRotor Teaming Agreement to develop a V/STOL short range
surveillance and reconnaissance drone. Development of the D–340 proceeded throughout 1987. The
Pointer made its first public appearance at Farnborough in September 1988 and flew for the first
time (albeit poorly using Boeing flight controls) on November 21, 1988. But the partnership ended
in September 1989 when Boeing dropped out of the program after only 12½ hours of flight trials
and 40 hours of wind tunnel testing. A friend of mine, Keith Cedras, controlled Bell's portion and
was forced out of MBD in the first force reduction. I believed in the concept, ... Show more content

The design reduced overall length during transport and storage. The nose section mounted using
hinges to permit easy access to the avionics and other mission equipment. The center section
incorporated the wing–box, fuel tanks engine and landing gear. Because of its dual, hover and
conventional aircraft flight requirements, Burt designed a complex structural arrangement. The
Allison C20 gas turbine engine, attached to a combining transmission was integrated into the center
fuselage. Drive shafts from the combining transmission pass through the center of the wing and
connect to transmissions (Bell 206 tail rotor gear boxes) in nacelles at each wing–tip. The
cantilevered wing box experienced very diverse structural loads during hover and conventional
forward flight, and an additional challenge required the wing–box wet fuel tank preserve the dry
integrity of the transmission drive shaft conduits. The removal of the entire top part of the fuselage
provided access to the engine and center gear box. The removable tail was attached using a
lightweight screw row. The tail contained various antenna and actuators for the pitch control
surfaces. Scaled Composites installed the hard points and mounts

China Sea Research Paper
Introduction
The current global security climate is one of unease and uncertainty. An aggressive Russia, an
unsettled Middle East, and a resurgent China all pose threats to American national interests. The
Islamic State undoubtedly invokes the greatest amount of fear in the hearts of the world, but it may
be the rise of China that truly tests American resolve. The China Sea is of extreme economic,
political and military importance to the United States. This is evident from the Obama
administration's strategic "pivot" to Asia, the recent Trans–Pacific Partnership (TPP) and the U.S.S
Lassen challenging China's territorial claims to the Spratley Islands. America's security guarantees

As the heart of the Carrier Strike Group (CSG) and Seventh Fleet, the aircraft carrier must carry its
100,000 ton weight in this fight. The CSG must find a way to counter the A2/AD threat in order to
be an effective tool in the South China Sea, and the reported $14 billion dollar price tag says that it
better. The planned composition of a Carrier Air Wing (CVW) consists of 3 FA–18E/F, 1 F/A–18G,
1 F–35C, 1 E–2D, and 2 MH–60 squadrons. The scope of this research is limited to the need to
protect the carrier strike group from attacking aircraft and striking ground and sea based targets on
the Chinese coast. For this intent, the capabilities and limitations of the E–2D and MH–60 are not of
immediate concern. However, it is important to fully analyze not only the capabilities, but the
limitations of the strike–fighter aircraft in the air wing. Each FA–18E/F squadron consists of 12
aircraft that have the ability to perform both the air–to–air and air–to–ground role as well as perform
airborne refueling. The requirement to perform airborne refueling is extremely important as the S–3
Viking was removed from service in 2009. The FA–18E/F has a limited combat radius of less than
400nm without airborne refueling, considerably less than what would be required to strike any
targets under the 1200nm protective ring of Chinese DF–21 missiles. A

How Could Magnetically Levitated Trains Relieve the...
Introduction
Transportation is one of the most essential spheres of human's life in such aspects as economic
growth, communication, tourism, and utilization of space. Thence, it is very important for it to have
minimal effect on the environment, be safe, cheap, comfortable, and fast in use. Conventional
transport, such as trains and airplanes, causes a number of problems including air pollution, high
amounts of energy consumption, huge need of maintenance, high prices, and risks of safety, thus not
being efficient enough. Therefore, new generation of transport must correspond to definite
requirements: be efficient, reliable, and environmentally sound. The technology of the new kind of
transport – magnetically levitated trains – could be ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
Moreover, according to Figure 2, the amount of CO2 increases with the rise of speed. Conventional
trains are also not efficient in economic aspect, since there is a demand for constant maintenance
(Figure 1), such as periodic replacement of gear, wheels, rails, etc., which may lead to huge
financial expenses. Figure 1. Comparison of Maglev and Wheel–On–Rail Systems. Source: H.–W.
Lee, Kim, and J. Lee 2006, 1917. Figure 2. The Energy Consumption of a Train Calculated for
Different Speeds and its CO2 –Emissions per Passengers. Source: Garcia, 2010, 41.
Air transport is constructed to be faster and more convenient than trains, however there are also
several burdens that are associated with airplanes. The most important aircraft problem is vast fuel
utilization – European Commission 2009 indicates that airplanes have huge CO2 emission – 51.5
gram per passenger–kilometer. In addition, serious risks of safety usually worry people, for instance,
there is a recent loss of Boeing–777 airplane with all the passengers, which is usually considered to
be very safe, and still cannot be found (Ranter 2014). Airplanes are also very dependent on weather
conditions, – as can be seen on Figure 3, number of delays lead to considerably high financial
expenses – more than 7 billions in 2012. Figure 3. Annual and Per–Minute Cost of Delays to U.S.

Environmental Analysis:
Economic
Increased interest rates & credit crunch in US are affecting people to spend on luxuries like long
distance air travel. The economic environment of the airline sector has been characterized by growth
in relation to most key figures. Air travel demand has closely mirrored the cyclical pattern shown by
gross domestic product (GDP) figures in that it responds to cyclical upswings and downswings.
However, air travel growth has far exceeded GDP growth over the period. Between 1960 and 1995
the total world economy, measured by GDP, grew by a factor of just over three, while air transport,
measured by tonne–kilometres, grew by a factor of nearly 20 (Hanlon, 1999).Furthermore, fuel and
aircraft prices are major expenditure items subject to fluctuations and the international orientation of
the industry means that movements in foreign exchange rates can have major effects upon industry
profitability. Holloway (1998) maintained that aviation managers face the need to pursue strategies

capable of sustaining profitability throughout entire economic cycles.
Social
Increased popularity in foreign travel is leading to a boom in demand for air travel. However, this
has been adversely affected by international terrorism. A number of demographic factors point
towards a greater use of air travel. Thus an increasing proportion of the population is relatively
healthy and prosperous, increasing

A Report On Aircraft Fuel Efficiency
Report on research Project. Abstract: Aircraft fuel efficiency has improved significantly since the
beginning of the jet era in the 1960s, and from 1970 to 2000 total energy intensity was reduced by
more than 60%. Fuel burn is a key determinant of aviation economics given that fuel costs account
for up to 35% of total aviation costs. The aviation industry has therefore focused on fuel efficiency
improvement through engine and aircraft innovation which has resulted in a reduction in total
energy intensity of more than 60% since 1970. There are a number of evolutionary technologies that
could help achieve further fuel efficiency improvements in new aircraft over the next 20 years.
Aviation engineers have been working on silent aircraft and using 3D systems in aircraft to make
precise aircraft design which will be very useful for cargo purposes and for travellers to reach their
destinations. Students of Cambridge university are also been working on silent aircraft which will
reduce the aircraft noise and improve the fuel efficiency. I set out to analysis that main sections.

An Investigation into How the British could have achieved victory in the American War of
Independence
The American War of Independence was perhaps the first colonial war of independence during the
period of European dominance across the globe. Great Britain, a relatively new country with a
stable, democratic government, established an enormous trading empire which stretched from North
America to East India and was the greatest superpower on Earth. It came to be so, firstly by its
highly effective navy which allowed it to transport goods and defeat other rival fleets. Its
government of elected officials allowed it to function more effectively compared to an Absolute
Monarchy in terms of generating revenue from its colonies, and finally, ... Show more content on

It is believed she gave word to Paul Revere that the British were planning on destroying the
armouries at Lexington and Concord and thus he spread the famous line of 'The British are coming!'
Many British Generals serving throughout the French–Indian War began to sympathize with the
colonists who fought alongside the British. This meant that many of the experienced and greatest of
British Generals, including Gage himself, did not believe that war was the right option and did not
believe in the British cause. So to prevent the catastrophes that Gage caused during the first months
of the War, the British should have given the position to a General who was both capable but also
sensible. Historians believe that if General Charles Cornwallis had of served in his stead then the
early British disasters could have been avoided and the colonists would have been crushed in the
first few months. Cornwallis was a competent commander, but when he inherited his Lordship, he
often voted against heavy taxation of the colonies. Many blame him for the British defeat of the War
because of his surrender at Yorktown but with his intervention at an earlier date, such a competent
commander could have increased the odds of the British winning the war.
The British Army was a well trained but in no way was it 'battle–hardened'. Being an island nation,
Britain predominantly used its navy as its main weapon and the regular army for sea–to–land
assaults e.g. assault on

Analysis Of The Interactive Model Of Product Development
Introduction:
In design and fabrication of metallic equipment and structures, often weight saving is often used to
improve efficiency in in–service performance of the item. This paper will explore the interactive
model of product development, which includes the important of: the uses of alternative materials on
the design, fabrication and in– service behaviour of the item in order to provide awareness of how
issue of the underlying principles of each of these weight saving alternatives and the advantages to
be gained, using the benchmark grade 350 steel.
Grade 350 steel
In general, the strength of a steel is controlled by its microstructure which changes according to its
chemical composition, its thermal background and the deformation processes it undergoes during its
production schedule. Hence, different steels will have different strengths and most nations measure
its strengths by a national standard. According to engineers Australia, Australia grades their steel
according to their yield strength, thus the value of applied stress at which permanent deformation
occurs, in smooth lab specimen. (Engineering austraila,2008 ).So, a grade 350 means yield strength
of 350 Mpa. We typically uses a 350 grade which is classified as a medium steel to design bridges,
high rise building, storage tanks, structural members and general fabrication. This medium strength
structural steel is excellent of weldability, good formability and guaranteed minimum strength
levels.

World Record For Fastest Production Car
You might be familiar with the car company Bugatti, now owned by Volkswagen. Their Bugatti
Veyron Super Sport holds the Guinness World Record for Fastest Production Car. The Bugatti brand
has a long history, beginning in 1909 with "Automobiles Ettore Bugatti," a company founded by
Ettore Bugatti.
Ettore Bugatti was born in Italy in 1881 to a family of artists. Bugatti began to establish himself as a
car designer as early as 1901, when his Bugatti Type 2 car won a gold medal at the International
Breeding and Sport Exhibition in Milan, Italy. Bugatti carried on his family's artistic legacy in the
design of his race cars, which became renowned for their speed, power, and elegant design. But he
didn't just make cars.

Here is a quote about De Monge's design philosophy from an article in the Air and Space Magazine:
"De Monge left no written record of the thinking that went into the airplane (though he made some
intriguing remarks during an interview conducted late in his life, while he was working as an
automotive engineer in the United States). But [Scotty] Wilson is convinced that de Monge adhered
to the design philosophy espoused by Antoine de Saint–Exupéry, the beloved French author and
World War II P–38 pilot: 'Perfection is achieved, not when there is nothing more to add, but when
there is nothing left to take away.'"
An example of this philosophy was the removal of a conventional canopy (the glass enclosure
around the pilot). Most fighter aircraft at the time were built with the engine in the nose just behind
the propeller. To allow the pilot to see past the engine, these fighters were built with raised canopies
that sat on top of the fuselage. But having these extra bulges increases drag. Bugatti got around this
by putting the pilot in the nose of the aircraft, and moving the engines. The engines were put behind
the pilot and a system of drive shafts powered the propellers.
After the designs were mostly finalized, construction began. The airplane was built in Paris in the
second floor of a furniture shop.
The frame and skin of the airplane were made almost entirely out of wood, despite the difficulties
involved with shaping wood into rounded shapes. Usually, body

Write An Essay On Fly Fishing
Fly fishing is a unique and traditional angling method in which fish are caught by using artificial
flies. This method is employed to trap fish of different species like trout, salmon, pike, bass, panfish
and tarpon. The two types of fly fishing are dry and wet. In dry fly fishing the insect sits on the
water without getting wet. Contrary to this in wet fly fishing, the insect goes deep inside the water
and tries to draw the attention of the fish. The types of castings modes are roll cast, haul cast (single
and double), curve and tuck cast. Fly fishing is the fastest growing favorite sport worldwide. This is
because fly fishing is more relaxing and entertaining. The basic fly fishing tackle is reel, gear, fly,
rod and vest. Fresh water fishing is the most popular sport across the United States. The famous
waters comprises of Glacier National Park, Yellowstone, Henrys Fork River, Blackfoot and Madison
Rivers, Kenai River, the Rogue Rivers, Lee's Ferry on the Colorado River in Arizona, Owens and
the East Walker Rivers in California and the Nueces and Guadalupe Rivers of Texas.
The artificial flies are weightless and fixed to hook with thread, feathers and fur using either natural
or artificial material. The insect should have ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
The most critical step in the fly fishing is controlling the landing of fly and its movement on or
below the water. This is to ensure that the fly looks natural and the fish is attracted to the bait
without any doubts. The angler tries to cast the fly line landing perfectly on the water surface. The
working of angler relies greatly on the movement of the fly and water flow. When the fish hits the
target, the angler pulls the fly line and raises the rod tip. This facilitates the hooking of the fish's
mouth. The angler still continues to hold the fly line and the fish are played in hands to control the
tension applied by

Aircraft Hydraulic Systems
I. LANDING GEAR SAFETY DEVICES
Most airplanes with a retractable landing gear have a gear warning horn that will sound when the
airplane is configured for landing and the landing gear is not down and locked. Normally, the horn
is linked to the throttle or flap position, and/or the airspeed indicator so that when the airplane is
below a certain airspeed,configuration, or power setting with the gear retracted, the warning horn
will sound. Accidental retraction of a landing gear may be prevented by such devices as mechanical
downlocks, safety switches, and ground locks. Mechanical downlocks are built–in components of a
gear retraction system and are operated automatically by the gear retraction system. To prevent
accidental operation of the ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
What happens is that atomic hydrogen found in such substances interacts chemically with the high
tensile steel in the gear, causing the affected areas to transform chemically into a brittle alloy with a
risk of fracturing. "The only way to counteract hydrogen embrittlement is to remove the affected
component and bake it in a special oven at 375 F for 23 hours," Lind tells AMT. "This allows the
hydrogen atoms to migrate to the surface and then escape."
Maintenance best practices
When damaged aircraft landing gear comes into the shop, it costs more to overhaul than landing
gear that has been maintained properly. Here is what you can do to keep your landing gear costs
down. The first step is lubrication. It may sound simple, but insufficient lubrication during regular
usage causes unnecessary wear–and–tear in many of the system's components. "Lubrication is
critical to the movement of all articulated parts and joints of landing gear," says Lind. "Proper
lubrication ensures smooth functioning, less friction and wear, and the appropriate transfer of forces
throughout the gear during use. Lubrication is key to keeping out water, de–icing fluid, and other
corrosion–causing substances. Make no mistake; corrosion is a real problem for landing gear."
Before you lubricate, be sure to check the aircraft's manual to find out what substances you can and
cannot use. "In some cases, using the

consider offshore sourcing. 5. To establish additional sources of supply. Don't put all your eggs in
one basket. That is why we make contingency plans, and that is s why working with multiple
suppliers is a good thing. Shoe and athletic apparel giant Nike, is one of many examples. It contracts
with more than 700 factories in 52 nations. Having such a broad supplier base ensure that supply
chain disruptions in one factory or region can be absorbed by suppliers in other regions, and thus
minimize the impact to Nike. With globalization being a key influence in the outcome of sourcing
and eventual complete market product, it is evident that with global supply and resources, a
manufacturer can tap into the various options in resources, technology, methodology and lower
production costs. However, it is also vital for the manufacturer to

Advantage And Advantages Of Airplanes
I. INTRODUCTION Vertical Take–off and Landing (VTOL) and Short Take–off and Landing
(STOL) flight has been one of the main interests of both the civilian and military aviation
communities throughout the history of flight. The first patented VTOL design concept was by
Nikola Tesla in 1928. In May 1951, Lockheed and Convair were awarded contracts in the attempt to
design, construct, and test two experimental VTOL fighters. As a result, Lockheed produced the

Another advantage, both to operators and to nearby residents, is the large reduction in ground noise
level made possible by the utilization of the steep descent and climb–out capability of the VTOL
aircraft. The VTOL airplane has great potential value in its military applications too. The most
obvious advantage is its utilization in delivering ground troops and supplies, the requirement being
only that a clearing of sufficient size exist in a reasonably level region. Tactical close air support
VTOL airplanes can operate in close proximity to zones of action out of these same clearings, thus
reducing the time required to deliver ordnance on a target, or the number of airplanes required
airborne on station. Destruction of or damage to airfield runways loses significance if the aircraft
utilizing the field have a VTOL capability. Consistent with weight and size limitations, each VTOL
airplane is capable of shipboard operations, without the requirement for arresting hooks, catapult
fittings, and the usually associated structural beef–up. By the same token, many ships, with the
relatively simple addition of a landing area, are capable of operating VTOL airplanes without the
requirement for heavy and complicated arresting

Essay on Social Commentary in Catch-22
Social Commentary in Catch–22
Life is filled with situations that are very difficult to find an escape. Even once in a while, life
presents a situation that is beyond difficult, and completely impossible to escape from. These
situations were expanded upon and brought to obvious light in Joseph Heller's novel, Catch–22.
This novel was such a masterful work that the phrase, catch–22 came to be synonymous with the
situations that Heller portrays in his novel. Set in the final months of World War II, Catch–22 tells
the story of a bomber squadron on the mythical island of Pinosa, just off of Italy. The story is told
through the eyes of Captain John Yossarian, one of the few sane men in the novel, who sees all of
the impossible ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
Holding characters in the war, and not allowing them to return home. Hungry Joe always completes
his required missions, packs his bags, and waits for the orders transferring him home, hoping they
arrive before Colonel Cathcart raises the missions again. The waiting builds up such huge pressure
for Hungry Joe that he drives himself mad, screaming all night long in nightmares. The catch is
simple, Hungry Joe wants to go home so much that he can't stand to wait for the orders sending him
home to the US. The waiting and wanting is so strong that he stays on fight duty all the time to
avoid the pain of it. Hungry Joe flies because he wants to go home, and is completely trapped in his
catch–22, until he is killed during the missions that were both his torture and his comfort (Heller
60).
Other characters are forced into their catches by personal quirks, or fears. Doc Daneeka is a flight
surgeon who hates to fly so much that he will not enter a plane, and instead bribes a pilot, McWatt,
into entering his name on the flight register once a month so that he may collect flight pay. The
catch arises when McWatt accidentally kills a pilot on the ground when he flies too low over the
beach. McWatt crashes his plane, killing himself. The catch is that Doc Daneeka was entered on the
flight register, therefore officially dead. The gears of the system begin to churn, and Daneeka

Nuclear Weapons Of Mass Destruction
Karla Ximena Leyte
Though Paper #3
Weapons of mass destruction and their ability to challenge security and create large–scale
obliteration have become the most significant threat in international politics, causing vast concern of
the consequences that may arise if they were to emerge in the hands of dangerous non–state actors.
Chemical, nuclear, and biological weapons not only possess the ability to end the life of many but
also pose negative effects on the environment and global economy. While their ability to wipe out a
mass of civilians causes terror throughout the world, the major concern in regards to WMD is the
possibility of their landing in the hands of treacherous terrorist groups. This fear expanded in 2001
after the terrorist use of anthrax in the United Sate's postal services (Reed). Although all nuclear,
chemical, and biological weapons acquire the ability to terrorize a civilization, nuclear weapons
pose the deadliest threat. Chemical weapons seize the ability to wipe out thousands of lives with
effective "gas" attacks while biological threats influence the spread of deadly diseases. What makes
these two forms of WMD less severe than nuclear weapons is that protective clothing and gear can
be worn to avert lethal gas and it is difficult for a pandemic disease to become large scale in today's
era (Macfarlane). The United States should focus its concern on nuclear weapons and the fatal threat
they pose not only on human life but also on infrastructure. Arming an

Advantages And Disadvantages Of Composites
1 CHAPTER. 1 COMPOSITES 1.1 Introduction A "composite" is when two or more different
materials are combined together to create a material which is superior and unique and holding
different properties than earlier. Light weight high strength materials are essential in fabrication of
aerospace structures like airframes, rocket motor casings, nozzles and wings. The composites are the
materials formed by embedding fibers in the plastic that add characteristics like high resistance to
fatigue, anticorrosive, high tensile strength or stiffness with weight savings up to 25–45% compare
with conventional metallic designs. Composites possess greater reliability, which are capable to
meet the design requirements, easier to achieve smooth aerodynamic profiles against drag reduction
and high resistance to impact damage. The capacity to tailor the fundamental material properties of
a cover has permitted new ways to deal with the plan of air flexible flight structures. The above
preferences make an interpretation of into aero plane as well as into the rocket frameworks that can
go with high speed under extreme warm condition amid reentry period of the rocket. Despite ...
Epoxies are widely used in primary construction composite materials for high strength performance,
adhesives, casting compounds, sealants, varnishes and paints as well as laminating resins. Epoxies
generally have higher values of fracture toughness than polyesters and vinyl–esters which may
result in superior fatigue performance of the laminates. There are two types of epoxies one with
bisophenol–A and another is novolac type compositions are commercially available. These resin
systems are curable both at room and high temperatures. Epoxies are most suitable to prepreging,
filament winding and laminating

A380 Essay
The Airbus A380 is a double–deck, wide–body, four–engine jet airliner manufactured by the
European corporation Airbus, a subsidiary of EADS. It is the largest passenger airliner in the world.
Due to its size, many airports had to modify and improve facilities to accommodate it. Designed to
challenge Boeing's monopoly in the large–aircraft market, the A380 made its maiden flight on 27
April 2005 and entered commercial service in October 2007 with Singapore Airlines. The aircraft
was known as the Airbus A3XX during much of its development, before receiving the A380
designation. The nickname Superjumbo has since become associated with it. The A380's upper deck
extends along the entire length of the fuselage, and its width is equivalent to ... Show more content
It was chosen because the number 8 resembles the double–deck cross section, and is a lucky number
in some Asian countries where the aircraft was being marketed.[13] The aircraft's configuration was
finalised in early 2001, and manufacturing of the first A380 wing box component started on 23
January 2002. The development cost of the A380 had grown to €11 billion when the first aircraft
was completed.[9] [edit] Production Diagram showing flow of aircraft part in western Europe. Land

Aerodynamic Characteristics Of A Circulation Control Wing
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 though different models of Circulation Control Wings. CCW
system as tested will be difficult without examining the noise field of an isolated thin slot of span
comparable to that used in the CCW itself. Moreover, many more work has been done like
extremely high aspect ratio jets similar to the CCW slot. This technology mainly use on the main
wing of an aircraft in order to increase the maximum lift coefficient when large lifting forces at low
speeds. The implementation of CCW system can create more air flow over the surface of flaps and
slates consequently aircrafts can allow much more lift at low speeds. Introduction What is CCW?
Circulation Control Wing (CCW) is one type of control technology of air blowing around a surface
like flaps and redder edge to change the force and moment characteristic of an aerodynamic body.
CCW technology is widely using in the aircraft wings and helicopter rotors and even to automobile
industry for improved aerodynamic performance.

1. The triple disaster of March 2011 and its impact on Japanese politics and economy The triple
disaster: earthquake, tsunami and Fukushima nuclear accident. The earthquake and tsunami caused
extensive and severe structural damage in north–eastern Japan, including heavy damage to roads
and railways as well as fires in many areas, and a dam collapse. Naoto Kan said, "In the 65 years
after the end of World War II, this is the toughest and the most difficult crisis for Japan." Around 4.4
million households in northeastern Japan were left without electricity and 1.5 million without water.

Rebuilding will lift the economy a bit, but it will be outweighed by the probable increase to the
national debt –– already twice as big as Japan 's annual economic output.
The quake and tsunami damaged or closed down key ports, and some airports shut briefly. This
disrupted the global supply chain of semiconductor equipment and materials. Japan manufactures
20% of the world 's semiconductor products, including NAND flash, an indispensable electronic
part of Apple 's iPad. Japan also supplies the wings, landing gears and other major parts of Boeing 's
787 Dreamliner. Automakers Toyota, Nissan, Honda, Mitsubishi and Suzuki temporarily suspended
production. A total of 22 plants, including Sony, were shut in the area.
2. Japan's energy policy after Fukushima disaster The country lacks significant domestic reserves of
fossil fuel, except coal, and must import substantial amounts of crude oil, natural gas, and other
energy resources, including uranium. Japan relied on oil imports to meet about 42% of its energy
needs in 2010. Japan was also the first coal importer in 2010 (about 20% of total world coal import),
and the first natural gas importer (12.1% of world total gas import).
With 54 active nuclear power generating reactor units in 2009, that year Japan ranked third in the
world in that respect, after the United States (104 reactors)

Incarceration: Prison and Inmates
INTRODUCTION
Law enforcement officers are authorized by federal, state, and local lawmakers to arrest and confine
persons suspected of crimes. The judicial system is authorized to confine persons convicted of
crimes. This confinement, whether before or after a criminal conviction, is called incarceration.
Incarceration is one of the main forms of punishment for the commission of illegal offenses.
Juveniles and adults alike are subject to incarceration. Incarceration is the detention of a person in a
jail or prison. The federal, state, and local governments have facilities to confine people. Individuals
awaiting trial, being held pending citations for non–custodial offenses, and those convicted of
misdemeanors (crimes which carry a ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
Federal laws are those laws that are passed by the federal government and enforced by the U.S
.Government Agencies. These are laws against the federal government. The penalties may range
from long or short prison sentences in federal prison and may include fines. The federal prison
system is operated by the Federal Bureau of Prisons, created by Congress in 1930 and administered
by the U.S. Department of Justice (Roberts, 1994). Federal inmates are those convicted of federal
offenses, such as kidnapping, bank robbery, and tax evasions, as well as various violent crimes and
drug violations. State laws are those that are passed and enforced by the state. They cannot
contradict the federal laws and apply only to that specific state. The state enforcement agencies also
have a duty to insure that federal laws are not being broken. Most criminal laws are state created
and penalties include fines and short or long prison incarceration. State prisons are operated state
officials, usually under the direction of a state commissioner of corrections (or secretary of
correction) who is appointed by the governor. State inmates are those convicted of criminal statues
enforced by that particular state. These penalties differ from state to state for like offenses.
Juvenile Incarceration
Another area of incarceration is juvenile delinquent incarceration. Juvenile delinquents are minors
that are charged with crimes

The Amazing Sessna throught the Years
The Cessna 180 is a light general aviation aircraft, first ever flown in the late 1952, produce
between 1953 to 1981, Even though the model is no longer in production nowadays, many of these
aircraft are still in use as personal aircraft and in utility roles.
Cessna introduced the heavier and the greater power performer; the 180 as a updated version to the
Cessna 170. The 180 is an outstanding prime bush plane, it has an unretractable conventional and
adjustable–incidence tricycle tail wheel undercarriage, can be replacing by the float and skis,
normally fitted with 4 seats, additionally 2 extra seats can be added (According to the series).
Geraldine Mock is the first woman who achieved the solo flight around the world back in 1964, the
trip started on 19/03/1965 from Columbus, Ohio, United State. The flight spent 29 days to travel
more than 22000 miles, the chosen aircraft that she flew with is the brilliant Cessna 180, and she
named it as the "Spirit of Columbus" (Charlie). The flight is conducted with a refit fuel tank to
improve the endurance and range, the installation of two extra fuel tanks in place of passenger seats
that added 180 gallons of extra fuel onboard, boosting the little Cessna's range to 3,500 miles. When
it carried full fuel, the Cessna weighed nearly 900 pounds out of the envelope; however, the FAA

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 be conducted
without the fear of capture or exploitation of US military personnel. One such incident occurred

Currently the key areas the Army is looking to artificial intelligence are chemical biological
detection, counter explosive hazards, security, interdiction attack, and long–range strike capabilities
(US Army, 2010). Deployed soldiers have dozens of pounds of batteries, ammo, communications
equipment and other Items such as food and water they have to carry on their backs, on top of heavy
body armor, encumbering solders with up to 100lbs of additional weight. While this large amount of
technology, is useful in combat, it can greatly fatigue solders prior to engagements and can render
soldiers severely limited or even ineffective during sustained engagements with the enemy (Knapik,
1989). It is this reason that the U.S. Army is experimenting with a variety of remotely controlled and
even wearable machines to lighten this load. Some are deeply quirky, designed to resemble a
headless dog. The spooky Big Dog quadruped robot, which is being developed by robotics company
Boston Dynamics, has some of the most advanced artificial intelligence and navigation systems in
the planet. In fact, US Army officials are stunned by its programmed behaviors, which make Big
Dog extremely helpful in the battlefield. Big Dog can run along soldiers, walk slowly, or lay down
to be loaded or unloaded with up to 400 lbs of gear, equivalent to one full squads (6 men)

Description of a Hybrid Vehicle
A hybrid vehicle is a vehicle that uses two or more distinct power sources to move the vehicle.[1]
The term most commonly refers to hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs), which combine an internal
combustion engine and one or more electric motors. However other mechanisms to capture and
utilize energy are included. Power Power sources for hybrid vehicles include: * On–board or out–
board rechargeable energy storage system (RESS) * Coal, wood or other solid combustibles *
Electricity * Electromagnetic fields, Radio waves * Compressed or liquefied natural gas * Human
powered e.g. pedaling or rowing * Hydrogen * Petrol or Diesel fuel * Solar * Wind Vehicle type A

Rail transport Main article: Hybrid train East Japan Railway Company HB–E300 series Europe The
new Autorail à grande capacité (AGC or high–capacity railcar) built by the Canadian company
Bombardier for service in France. This has dual mode (diesel and electric motors) and dual voltage
capabilities (1500 and 25000 V) allowing it to be used on many different rail systems.[7] The
locomotive has been on trials in Rotterdam, the Netherlands with Railfeeding, a Genesse and
Wyoming company. China The First Hybrid Evaluating prototype locomotive was designed and
contracted by rail research center MATRAI in 1999 and the sample was ready in 2000. It was a G12
locomotive that was converted to hybrid by using a 200KW diesel generator and batteries and also
was equipped with 4 AC traction motors (out of 4) retrofited in the cover of the DC traction motors.
Japan The first operational prototype of a hybrid train engine with significant energy storage and
energy regeneration capability was introduced in Japan as the KiHa E200. It utilizes battery packs of
lithium ion batteries mounted on the roof to store recovered energy.[8] North America In the U.S.,
General Electric introduced a prototype railroad engine with their "Ecomagination" technology in
2007. They store energy in a large set of sodium nickel chloride (Na–NiCl2) batteries to capture and
store energy normally dissipated during dynamic braking or coasting downhill. They expect at least
a 10% reduction in fuel use

Changing The Measure Of Camber
Changing the measure of camber, or bend, present in an airfoil is an effective method for controlling
the strengths and minutes that it creates under liquid stream. Moreover, the control power gave is
huge regardless of the possibility that lone a humble part of the airfoil harmony can change camber.
This is the situation with trailing edge folds, which make camber change through revolution of a
discrete segment of the harmony, regularly the last 20–30%, in respect to whatever remains of the
airfoil. The straightforwardness and adequacy of these gadgets has prompted their close pervasive
use as the control effectors of settled wing airplane and as high lift devises for departure and
landing. They have likewise been utilized for quite a while as a part of an extensive variety of
utilizations over an expansive range of liquid control applications, including helicopter rotors, ship
rudders, submarines, and hydrofoil pontoons amongst others.
Trailing edge folds are not without downsides be that as it may. Chief among these is a huge
increment in drag when they are utilized. Because of the sharp, discrete way in which they change
the airfoils camber, sudden changes in weight and stream detachment are average, bringing about
expansive increments in drag over the standard airfoil, especially everywhere lift coefficients.
Numerous analysts and creators have looked to address this deficiency by utilizing "transforming"
structures to make a smooth and constant change in camber along

In many cases, it has been the awareness that change was even happening at all, the understanding
that the solid base from which prediction was being made might be about as solid as quicksand.
Even the most apparently immutable system or structure may be experiencing change even as you
look at it. By change I mean, of course, not just change in the sense of bigger and better models and
new ways of doing the same things you were doing before, but qualitative change in the structure
and behavior of the society in which you live. I mean new philosophies as well as new gadgets. I'm
not saying that the appreciation of change is easy; far from it, particularly today. As one of your

The Vought F4U Corsair first flew May 1940. It was created by Chance Vought, the Corsair was an
American aircraft. This aircraft was created to be a fighter airplane, it attracted eyes from all over.
The corsair was introduced in World War II it was the most feared airplane in the sky's. Its known
by the Japanese as the Whistling death. As Americans battled across the pacific closing in on Japan.
The corsair earned a fearsome name, not only as a fighter but also a bomber. At sea the Corsair shot

For it was made to be practically bullet proof. The hole airframe was a one of a kind structure. Many
engineers argued over how exactly you can put such a massive powerplant for the size of a plane it
was installed in. It was a almost impractical goal. Chance Vought team battled to figure out the best
possible design. It couldn't just work it had to be strong, reliable, and untouchable. Many
considerations were to take in when creating this aircraft. For one of the most challenging parts of
this build was the propeller of its time it was larger than any one before on that size of aircraft it had
a 13ft long propeller. Vought team had to find a way to clear such a massive propeller. So the
Engineers made many design trying to find perfection. Many failed some worked but with the
combination of all ideas the landing gear with bent wing was created. Its swept wings with high
angle bend made it look like a segal in flight, the Vought team came upon the idea so they could
raise the aircraft another 3ft giving it a total 16ft 1 inch in from floor level. The landing gear
underneath the swept wing was created to be sleek as possible. When the landing gear was designed
they look for the most aerodynamic design. Instead of a traditional gear where it folds inward
towards the fuselage or outward towards the wing tip. The landing gear would sweep straight back
to a locking
