The Wright Brothers, Wilbur and Orville, were pioneers of aviation and the invention of the airplane. They conducted extensive research and experiments with gliders from 1900-1902 to understand control of flight and aerodynamics. This included testing gliders as kites and building a wind tunnel to obtain accurate data on lift and drag of airfoils. In 1903, they built and flew the first successful airplane, achieving controlled, sustained flight. Their invention resulted from years of systematic research and was a pivotal achievement in the history of aviation and transportation.

“History of Aviation the Wright Brothers”
Claim: Wright Brothers started the history of aviation.
Reasons:
· Bishop Wright one day brought Wilburn and Orville Wright a small toy helicopter that was made up of wood and two curled rubber bands as a small propeller. Both the brothers played with it until it broke. After that, they made new copies of toys themselves. They also sold their toys to their friends. So it developed an interest of flying in them.
· Wright Brothers started the printing business in 1889 together but after 3 years they started the business of bicycle. They started selling repaired bikes initially. They establish their own brand in 1896. By working on bikes Wright Brothers generated an idea of flight.
· They used the technology about which they got knowledge from bicycles on airplanes.
· That technology included spoke wires, sprockets, chains, and ball bearings. From bicycles they learned to balance and control their aircraft.
· Orville and Wilburn Wright performed different experiments to fulfill their dream of inventing an aircraft.
· They also learned different techniques to control aircraft such as they realized the need of 3 axes of motions.
· Orville and Wilbur got this idea from the flying bird. They saw the birds twisting and curving their wings.
· They also performed Kite/glider Experiments.
· In 1899 the Wright Brothers began their research on aeronautical research. They used to test their notions of aircraft with a small kite having a five-foot wingspan. They built a machine in 1900 that carry a pilot in it.
· Their 1900 aircraft was not that successful so they flew it as a kite and collected information to improve the functioning of their machine.
Assumptions:
· Innovators made several assumptions about the development of flight. Since all the animals that fly have wings so innovators though of developing strap on wings. To test their assumption they would have to jump from the tall building.
· Some other innovators built flying machines and took years to build costly prototypes. All of them failed during the testing process.
· The modern innovators can learn from the approaches adopted by Wright Brothers.
· The Wright Brothers were flawless experimenters.
· They adopted simple and low-risk ways to test their assumptions.
· Wright Brother flew kites to test their assumptions.
· The Innosight advised a big consumer product company to deliver a device to centralized points on campuses.
· The business plans were assumed to take 3 months to get approval to sell their devices at school. They could pilot the idea at dew schools. But school slowly processes that approval because they assumed to approach it differently.
Backing:
· As Wright Brothers started their aeronautical research in 1899, the first aircraft they flew was a kite.
· Their first experiment did not produce less lift than expected. They tested small wing model to simulate fl ...

Three Primary Standards ofMeasurement in the Ancient WorldRoland Boucher
Three primary standards of length, volume and weight were developed in the ancient world probably
as far back as the fourth millennium BCE. Each was derived using a pendulum timed by a fraction of
the daily rotation of the earth. Each used either the sun, the stars, or the planet Venus to divide the
day. Examples of each can be found throughout the Ancient world from England in the west to Japan
in the East. There is also some evidence that some versions may be found in the western
hemisphere.

The Lost Winchester Bushel
And the origin of the Troy and Scottish (mercantile) Pounds
The volume of the lost Winchester Bushel has been found. It is exactly a one foot cube.
This ancient foot was used to build the Minoan palaces on Crete in the second
millennium BCE. Its cube may well have been the origin of both the Troy system of
weights and the Scottish (mercantile) pound of medieval England.
The Ancient search for a Universal Standard of length 05/03/2014Roland Boucher
When the French Academy of Science proposed a new Metric System in the
eighteenth century, they may not have realized that theirs was simply the latest
attempt in a centuries-old desire for a universal standard of measure.
A Proposal to reduce the top Federal tax rate from 35% to 20 % by eliminating the deduction for State and Local Taxes and folding the personal exemption into the Standard deduction. This proposal we presented to the Prsidents Panel on Tax Reform in 2006
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

Wilbur becomes interested in mechanical flight
1896 Lilienthal is Killed
Wilbur concludes that control by shifting a pilots his weight is Not Safe
Wilbur contemplates how control might be achieved
Wilbur contemplates how a pilot might learn to fly
Wilbur contacts the Smithsonian Museum to learn about other attempts
Wilbur contacts Octave Chanute to learn of his achievements
WILBUR TAKES A DIFFERENT APPROACH
1 Airplane need not be STABLE ..It Must be Controlled by the pilot
2 Wilbur demonstrates Control in both Roll and Pitch with a kite 1899

1 Lilienthal Airfoil lift data is wrong by almost 50%
Wind Speed of 25 mph required (not 17 mph from tables)
2 Lilienthal Airfoil Pitch data is all wrong
Wing Airfoil is unstable .. The center of pressure moves the wrong way
3 Wright Design works...pitch & roll can be controlled

12. The Wright Brothers
and the invention of the Airplane
Why the Wrights built a wind tunnel
1 Glider Test of 1901 indicate errors in airfoil data
Lift of the wing was much less than predicted
Center of pressure moves in wrong direction
2 Lift (pounds) = 0.005 Vsq x Area x CL
0.005 = Smeaton’s Coefficient is wrong!
V = speed in miles per hour
A = Wing area in square feet
CL = Coefficient of Lift
P13
13. The Wright Brothers
Wrights mount a balance in front of bicycle to test airfoil data
Conclusions reached from bicycle tests
1 Lilienthal table showed balance at 5 degrees but the Wrights measured 18 degrees
2 A flat Plate airfoil required 24 degrees to balance .... a curved surface produced more lift
3 A long thin airfoil produced more lift than a square one
4 The Lilienthal tables were wrong. He failed to take into accountthe pitch moment
5 A wind tunnel would be neededto obtain reliable data
P14
14. Wright Wind tunnel Balance using Dual Parallelograms
The Wrights measure small forces accurately by balancing the force
of 60 different airfoils to a fixed size flat plate in their wind tunnel
The Lift force on the test airfoil will
rotate the parallelogram in a clockwise
direction
The drag force on the flat plate will
tend to rotate the parallelogram
counter clockwise restoring a balance
with the angle of rotation equal to the
ratio of lift to drag
Drag Force on the flat plate

23. Early Otto Cycle four stroke internal combustion Engines
In 1876 when Wilhelm Maybach designed the first production Otto Engine it began a revolution in the development of
the internal combustion engine. This 1250 pound 4.4 HP engine replaced current designs weighing over 4000 pounds.
Six years later, after both Gotlieb Daimler and Wilhelm Maybach had left the Deutz Company to develop engines for
automobiles, Maybach designed the first “ high speed” four cylinder motor. Both motors used Vacuum operated intake
valves as was common the practice at the time. Both used hot tube ignition which limited rpm.
1876 First Deutz Otto Cycle Engine 4.4HP @ 160 RPM 1893 Daimler 5HP @620 RPM
Displacement 372 Cubic Inches Weight 1250 Pounds 146 Cubic Inches Weight 331 Pounds
24. Orville builds engine for 1903 flyer
In 1894 Daimler, concerned about the fire hazard caused by the hot tube igniters, switched to spark
ignition which had been invented by Robert Bosch. This new ignition system removed the RPM limits
of the hot tube igniters and allowed the development of more powerful high speed motors. In1901 the
new Daimler 4 cylinder motor had a displacement 366 cubic inches and was producing 35 HP @ 1000
RPM. This motor made of cast iron weighed 535 Pounds.
In 1903 Wilbur Wright and Charlie Taylor designed and constructed the first Wright aircraft motor in
only six weeks. With a displacement 201 Cubic Inches it produced 12 HP @ 1200 RPM and weighed
180 pounds. (IN 1906 a modified version produced 24 HP @ 1300 RPM with no increase in weight)
The initial Wright design weigned 15 pounds per horespower by 1906 this was improved to 5 lbs per hp
25. 1902 Wilbur Develops the first Aircraft propeller
Prop Diameter = 28 inches
Blade Width at tip = 7 inches
Fan Speed = 1600 Rpm
Fan Thrust = 12 pounds
Drive Power = 0.8 HP
The thrust was found to vary
as the square of the Rpm
Wind Speed = 25 mph
Prop Diameter = 8.5 feet
Blade width at tip = 6 inches
Blade Area = 2 sq. ft.
Prop speed = 245 Rpm
Speed at C.P. = 61 mph
Normal pressure = 12.4 lb./sq. ft.
Thrust = 18.75 lbs.
CL = 18.76/24.8 = 0.756
Angle for airfoil #31 = 7.25 deg
Measured torque = 3.5 lbs
Measured power = 0.58 HP
L/D of propeller airfoil = 5.4
The Wrights Estimated that the thrust required to fly the 925 pound 1903 Flyer at 24MPH was 90 Pounds. The speed at 330 Rpm at the
center of pressure of the 8.5 foot wright props would be about 80 mph. The dynamic pressure on the blade would be 11 times that of the
wings. The thrust required was estimated at 9.7% of the aircraft weight. The required blade area of both props would then be 0.88% of the
wing area or 4.5 sq. ft. The 1903 Wright Propellers were 8 inches wide and had a total blade area of 5.4 sq. ft. The 12HP 1903 Wright Motor
turned the Propellers at 350 rpm and produced 120 pounds of thrust. P26

27. The Wright Brothers
and the invention of the Airplane
Modern analysis shows that The 1903 wright flyer produced enough thrust to accelerate to 31 mph against a 24 mph wind. It would not have been possible to
accelerate to flying speed without a strong wind down the launch rail. Early tests in 1905 showed that a catapult was necessary to insure a consistant launch.

30. Wilbur Lands at end of historic flight
He flies 59 seconds at an average speed of 31 mph
P31
31. 1904 Flights resume at Huffman Prarie Ohio
Increases in fuel and cooling water raised flyer weight to
The engine cylinders were bored out 1/8 inch and both a fuel and oil pump were incorporated.
This 16Hp motor produced 21 HP by the end of 1905

33. Three View Drawing of Final 1905 flyer
On July 14 1905 Orville Crashes on takeoff. The rebuilt 1905 Flyer is now easier to fly.
The wrights double the size of the elevator and move it 12 ft ahead of the wing.
This change vastly improve the stability of the Machine
P34
34. During a flight on Sept 28, 1905 Orville discovered how to get out of a spin.
Now they could fly as high and as far as fuel allowed The Next day they proved to a
large crowd of spectators that they had mastered the dynamics of flight.
Within a week flights up to 38 minutes were achieved.

In 1903 Orville Wright and Charlie Taylor designed and built a light weight 4 cylinder aircraft engine which
produced a power to weight ratio equal to some of the best race car engines in Europe. Over the next
three years they would improve this motor, doubling its power to 24 HP without any increase in weight.
In 1907/1908 the Wrights designed and built the 40 hp motor for their 1908 two place demonstration
aircraft. This new motor produced more than three times the power of the original 1903 motor with only
a modest 10 percent increase in weight.
