The Wright brothers studied birds in flight and noticed that the wind flowing over their wings created lift, allowing them to fly. Over the next few years, the Wright brothers built and tested gliders to explore this concept, leading to piloted flights and kite designs. They worked to apply principles of lift to design and build the first successful airplane.

Richthofen
(The Red Baron)
..was shot down and killed near Amiens on 21 April 1918. There has been considerable discussion and debate regarding aspects of his career, especially the circumstances of his death. He remains perhaps the most widely known fighter pilot of all time .
Richthofen received a fatal wound just after 11:00 am on 21 April 1918, while flying over Morlancourt Ridge, near the Somme River. 49°56′0.60′′N 2°32′ 43.71′′E
At the time, the Baron had been pursuing (at very low altitude) a Sopwith Camel piloted by a novice Canadian pilot, Lieutenant Wilfrid "Wop" May of No. 209 Squadron, Royal Air Force. In turn, the Baron was spotted and briefly attacked by a Camel piloted by a school friend (and flight commander) of May's, Canadian Captain Arthur "Roy" Brown, who had to dive steeply at very high speed to intervene, and then had to climb steeply to avoid hitting the ground. Richthofen turned to avoid this attack, and then resumed his pursuit of May.
It was almost certainly during this final stage in his pursuit of May that a single .303 bullet hit Richthofen, damaging his heart and lungs so severely that it must have caused a quick death.
in the last seconds of his life, he managed retain sufficient control to make a rough "landing"( 49°55′56′′N 2°32′16′′E) in a field on a hill near the Bray- Corbie road, just north of the village of Vaux-sur-Somme, in a sector con- trolled by the Australian Imperial Force (AIF).[ Several witnesses, including
Gunner Ernest W. Twycross, Gunner George Ridgway and Sergeant Ted Smout of the Australian Medical Corps, all later claimed to have been the first man to reach the triplane and reported various versions of Richthofen's last words, generally including the word "kaputt".Aviation History by Mocanu Alexandra

Behind panam’s end
Pan American World Airways (Pan Am) was the largest international air carrier from the 1920s until its collapse in 1991. Founded in 1927, it pioneered international commercial aviation and was a leader in the industry until the 1970s. However, the 1973 energy crisis, deregulation, and terrorist attacks in the 1980s severely damaged Pan Am's finances. It suffered billions in losses, was forced to sell assets, and declared bankruptcy in 1991, bringing an end to one of the most influential airlines in history.
Helicopters at Warfare
The document discusses the evolution and increasing use of helicopters in warfare from World War II through modern times. It notes that helicopters saw limited early use but became more prominent in the Korean and Vietnam Wars, where the U.S. used them to rapidly deploy and extract troops. Helicopters also took on new roles like medical evacuations and gunship support. Their tactical value was further proven in conflicts like the Gulf War. While helicopters still have limitations compared to fixed-wing aircraft, ongoing innovations continue to broaden their military applications.
Brand failure- Pan American Airline
Pan American World Airways (Pan Am) was a major international airline from the 1920s to the 1990s that was renowned for innovations but suffered a fatal loss of public trust. At its peak in the 1960s-70s, Pan Am carried over 6 million passengers annually to many countries. However, a series of hijackings and bombings in the 1970s-80s eroded confidence. The 1988 bombing of Pan Am Flight 103, which killed 270 people over Lockerbie, Scotland, destroyed the remaining trust in the airline's security. Despite Pan Am's efforts, people refused to fly with them and the company declared bankruptcy in 1991 after years of declining business following the Lockerbie disaster.
Pan American2008
Juan Trippe was the founder of Pan American World Airways. The document provides a historical overview of Pan Am through photos and descriptions of its earliest planes and routes from the 1920s to 1930s connecting the Americas. It then shows the expansion of its global routes and fleet through the 1940s-1980s with the introduction of jets and expanded service to Asia, Africa, and Europe. The document concludes with photos of Pan Am's operations and planes in the 1980s before it ceased operations in 1991, having helped pioneer international commercial aviation.

History of Aviation by Robert Andrei
The history of aviation spans over 2000 years from early kites and gliders to modern powered flight. Some key developments include:
- The earliest recorded use of kites was in China around 200 BC to measure distances. Early attempts at human flight included Greek inventor Archytas' steam-powered "pigeon" around 400 BC.
- In the 9th century, Abbas Ibn Firnas constructed a basic glider and is said to have flown short distances in Spain, while in 1010 the English monk Eilmer of Malmesbury flew a glider around 200 meters.
- Lighter than air flight began in 1783 with hot air balloons invented by the Montgolfier

North Africa Campaign
The document summarizes the North African campaign of World War 2 between the Allied and Axis forces from 1940 to 1943. It describes the key battles as the forces pushed back and forth across Libya and Egypt, culminating in the Allied victory at the Second Battle of El Alamein in late 1942. This turned the tide and allowed the Allies to take the offensive, invading Tunisia and forcing the surrender of Axis troops in North Africa in May 1943.
9/11 attack on America
On September 11, 2001, four commercial airliners were hijacked by al-Qaeda terrorists. Two planes crashed into the World Trade Center towers in New York City, a third hit the Pentagon just outside Washington D.C., and the fourth crashed in a field in Pennsylvania. Nearly 3,000 people were killed during the 9/11 terrorist attacks, which were orchestrated by Osama bin Laden and led by hijacker Mohamed Atta on behalf of al-Qaeda. Every year on September 11th, Americans gather to commemorate and honor those who lost their lives in the deadliest terrorist attack on U.S. soil.
Belfort Instrument History
- Julien Pierre Friez established the Belfort Observatory in his home in East Baltimore in 1896 to produce meteorological instruments. It was one of the first private weather observatories in the US.
- The observatory housed numerous weather instruments on its roof and surrounding buildings. It played a key role in weather data collection and instrument production for over 50 years until operations expanded and moved to a new location.
- In addition to producing precision weather instruments, the observatory also conducted weather balloon launches and experiments with emerging technologies like aircraft that advanced scientific understanding of weather patterns and conditions.
Beauty of wildlife
This document depicts various wildlife animals living peacefully together in nature, including lions, giraffes, zebras, elephants, rhinoceros, cheetahs, tigers and monkeys. The title suggests the theme is wildlife peace and harmony as different species are shown coexisting without conflict in beautiful natural scenes.
AIR PLANE SAFETY SYSTEM
The document discusses an airplane safety system that could help save passengers in the event of a crash. It first describes a recent plane crash of a cargo flight in Norway. It then explains how planes fly using four forces: lift, thrust, drag, and weight. The document outlines ICAO statistics on accident rates during different phases of flight. It proposes an airplane safety system involving escape capsules that detach from the fuselage and float to safety, protecting passengers. Potential advantages include saving lives during crashes, while disadvantages include difficulty of implementation and high costs.
Animal 5th grade
This document provides an introduction to animals for students to learn their names, including lions, leopards, tigers, seals, swans, wild horses, eagles, foxes, deer, owls, wolves and bucakh. Visual aids are included to help students learn about different animals they can see at the zoo.
Water conservation.
Water conservation refers to reducing water usage and recycling wastewater. This can be done through implementing measures like fixing leaks, using appliances that use less water, collecting rainwater, and educating people on water conservation. Some benefits of water conservation include reducing water bills, lowering waste water flows which pollute the environment, protecting ecosystems, and improving drinking water quality.
Airplane
The document discusses how airplanes have changed the world by allowing for faster travel over long distances. It provides background on the invention of the airplane by the Wright Brothers in 1903, when their aircraft flew 120 feet in 12 seconds on the first successful flight. It then explains basic concepts like how airplane wings generate lift through airflow and how airplanes helped reduce travel time significantly compared to ships.
How does a plane fly?
Air transportation is the safest form of transport. There are approximately 200,000 flights per day worldwide. The presentation discusses how airplanes fly through aerodynamic forces of thrust, drag, lift, and weight. It explains how jet engines produce thrust to propel planes and how the shape of wings generates lift. Control surfaces like ailerons, elevators, rudders, and flaps help pilots control the aircraft during different phases of flight such as takeoff, cruise, descent, and landing.
SAFER AND MORE NATURAL WAY TO PREVENT COLD AND FLU
The document discusses the benefits of exercise for mental health. Regular physical activity can help reduce anxiety and depression and improve mood and cognitive function. Exercise causes chemical changes in the brain that may help protect against mental illness and improve symptoms for those who already suffer from conditions like anxiety and depression.
Water Cycle[1] Power Point
The water cycle describes the continuous movement of water on, above, and below the surface of the Earth. The sun warms water in oceans and lakes, causing it to evaporate into water vapor in the air. Water vapor condenses to form clouds, and air currents move clouds around the world. When clouds become too full, water falls as precipitation like rain or snow. Precipitation returns to oceans, lakes, and rivers, where the cycle repeats.
