Paradigm Shifts





In science discoveries that are very different from the existing view that it makes a major shift in the models of the universe, are made in regular intervals. These discoveries include Galileo Galilee's observation of Jupiter's moons, Isaac Newton's work on the implication of gravitational force and Albert Einstein's theory that time was not an absolute quantity. These men of science were responsible in bringing dominant paradigm shifts.

What is Arrested landing?

What is Arrested landing? An aircraft, to land on the flight deck, each plane needs a tail-hook, which is exactly what it sounds like, an extended hook attached to the plane's tail. A plane landing on a carrier moves from about a 150 mph to zero in seconds. Aside from planes capable of vertical flight like the Harrier, tail-hooks are a required feature on carrier-based fixed-wing aircraft. Such a hook is designed to snare a thick arresting wire strung across the deck of an aircraft carrier that slows the plane and allows it to land in a confined space for safer landing.

Evolution of Aircrafts

Since that fateful day in December of 1903, airplane design has changed dramatically. The Wright Brothers built a biplane with two propellers that were chain-driven by a gasoline motor. Our dependence on air travel over the years has forced airplane design to catch up with the times. On December 17, 1903, Wilbur and Orville Wright made four brief flights at Kitty Hawk with their first powered aircraft. The Wright brothers had invented the first successful airplane. The Wrights used this stopwatch to time the Kitty Hawk flights. Aircrafts have evolved so much from the initial days. From 2 seater to the latest air bus type, they have come a long way.  The history of aviation extends for more than two thousand years, from the earliest forms of aviation such as kites and attempts at tower jumping to supersonic and hyper-sonic flight by powered, heavier-than-air jets. Kite flying in China dates back to several hundred years BC and slowly spread around the world. Sir George Cayley...
