The document traces the evolution of airplanes from the Wright Brothers' first flight in 1903 to modern jet aircraft. Early designs used biplanes and triplanes made of wood with weak engines. Developments included all-metal construction, more powerful piston engines, the introduction of turbojets and swept wings for higher speeds. Modern aircraft have fly-by-wire controls, more fuel efficient turbofan engines, and composite materials. The commercial industry has enabled mass transportation by air. However, aircraft emissions contribute to climate change and approximately 1.5 million people fly in the US daily.

I did my P3 on airplanes. I did my project on airplanes because I think that airplanes are very interesting, and they are a big part of human evolution. I think that airplanes let humans go across the ocean very fast. Airplanes are very advanced in tecnology, and they are part of the new generation

A Brief Study on Airship Using Aerospace, Electronic and Communication Applic...IJERA Editor
Recent years have seen an outpour of revived interest in the use of high altitude airships for a number of applications. Present day developments in materials, propulsion, solar panels,Wireless Communication and energy storage systems and the need for a more eco-oriented approach to flight are increasing the curiosity in airships, as the series of new projects deployed in recent years show; moreover, the exploitation of the always mounting simulation capabilities in CAD/CAE, CFD and FEA provided by modern computers allow an accurate design useful to optimize and reduce the development time of these vehicles. The purpose of this contribution is to examine the different aspects of airship development with a review of current modeling techniques for airship dynamics and aerodynamics along with conceptual design and optimization techniques, structural design and manufacturing technologies , wireless and energy system technologies .A brief history of airships is presented followed by an analysis of conventional and unconventional airships including current projects and conceptual designs
A collection of some of the most influential and important aircraft designs in history. These aircraft aren't necessarily the most famous, but each have played vital roles in the evolution of aviation.
HEAVY DUTY AIR TRANSPORT VEHICLE (HDATV)vivatechijri
There are various technologies emerging from Aeronautics and Aerospace fields which results into
different problems being solved yet there are some which will be very beneficiary in near future for military as
well as for civil purpose. We as students are working on a problem which will benefit in our near future. In our
project we are designing an electric propelled HDATV (heavy duty air transport vehicle) which utilizes VTOL
technology. The aircraft which we are designing consists of fuselage with two nacelles at the end of high placed
fixed wing and two horizontal stabilizers and a vertical stabilizer along with it. The fuselage and the nacelles are
lifting bodies that are configured to jointly form an aerodynamic lifting body which cooperates with the horizontal
stabilizer to provide aerodynamic lift to the aircraft in forward flight. The nacelles houses two propellers which
are highly pitched and powered by the BLDC Motors operating in counter-rotating directions. The nacelles will
be designed to perform tilting operation in the direction of flight whenever necessary. The aircraft will be
unmanned and controlled via radio controller. The main aim of our project is to demonstrate the use of electric
VTOL technology and to perform basic tasks like avoiding obstacles, to carry loads and to perform some air
manoeuvres.
2. What is an aircraft? An aircraft is a vehicle which is able to fly by being supported by the air, or in general, the atmosphere of a planet. Rockets are not considered aircraft because they do not rely on lift from aerodynamics to fly, relying instead on rocket thrust.
