Early FlightBy Alex

"Right wing," "Check." "Left wing," "Check." "Elevator," "Check." "Hawkeye this is the control tower,you are safe for takeoff." You are about to learn about the dawn of aviation and the pioneers of flight!

In 1894, Otto Linienthal developed his first hang glider. Heconsidered it the safest glider of its kind. Unfortunately, he met hisdeath during a flight on the same glider.

Wilbur Wright was born on April 16 of 1867. Orville was born fouryears later on August 19, 1871. The brothers were very close, andeven sounded the same!

They got interested in flight when their dad brought home a rubber band "flying machine." Thebrothers started by watching birds in flight. Then they went to a remote beach in Kitty Hawk, NorthCarolina. They tested gliders and gained knowledge with every flight. The next step was to find anengine that was powerful and light. They also had to build a propeller to get the plane in the air. Finallyon Thursday, December 17 the Wright Flyer was in the air! The flight lasted only 12 seconds, butlaunched the beginning of flight.

There were many other famous planes in the early history of flight. The Wright EX "Vin Fiz" was thefirst plane to make a transcontinental flight. William Randolph Hearst flew the plane. The name "Vin



Fiz" came from a soda company that sponsored the plane. The Lockheed Vega was flown by AmeliaEarhart. She had many record-breaking flights in this plane. The Lockheed Vega was the perfect planefor Earhart's love to fly. Amelia Earhart flew from California to Hawaii in her Lockheed Vega. She wasthe first person to complete this trip! She also carried, for the first time in the world, a two-wayradiotelephone. In 1931 Charles and Anne Lindbergh flew to the Orient. They were the first people tofly as far east as the Orient.

Ever since the Wright brothers made their first flight the world has been buzzingwith aircraft. Oh, speaking of the Wright brothers, please remember, two wrongsdon't make a right but, two Wrights make an airplane!

Types of Airplanes:

Modern airplanes are divided into five main types:1. Commercial Transport Planes2. General Aviation Planes3. Military Planes4. Sea Planes5. Special Purpose Planes

Commercial transport planes are large planes used for carrying passengers andsometimes cargo (also called airliners).

Four-engine jets are more powerful than most airliners. That s because mostairliners only travel 500 to 600 miles per hour or 805 to 966 kilometers perhour, and four-engine jets can travel faster and farther.

The Boeing 747 is a four-engine jet that unlike most airliners, can carry1. 1,000 passengers2. Less than 200 passengers3. More than 400 passengers4. 50 passengers

It can also carry six galleys (kitchens), twelvewashrooms, and more than 47,000 gallons or178,000 liters of fuel. In 1969, the Boeing747 became the largest jet in the world. Thisairliner can fly 6,495 miles or 10,475kilometers non-stop. That s farther than thedistance between New York City and Tokyo.



Four-engine jets are not the only kind of commercial transport planes. There arealso three-engine jets and twin-engine jets.

As you probably can imagine, three-engine jets don t travel as far as four-enginejets and need less runway to take-off and land. But some three-engine jets cancarry as many passengers as four-engine jets.

Twin-engine jets are smaller than four or three-engine jets, but 90% ofairliners today are twin-engine jets. Here s a question for you:

Why do you think twin-engine jets are used the most?1. Because they have less engine failures than three or four-engine jets2. Because they cost less money to operate3. Because people like the way they look

Now let s learn a little bit about general aviation planes. Most general aviationplanes have two to six seats, and one engine. General aviation planes are used formany purposes. Sometimes people use them to teach students how to fly a plane,or they are used to take pictures from a high-up view. Sometimes people usethem for transportation, and sometimes people use them for enjoyment. Somefarmers use them for planting seeds, checking soil erosion, and countinglivestock.

Military planes, as you probably know, are planes used by the military. Mostmilitary planes are used to attack enemies on the ground or in the air. Somemilitary planes are used to carry equipment and soldiers to bases or battlefields.

Sea planes are divided into three types:1. Float Planes2. Flying Boats3. Amphibians

Float planes have big floats instead ofwheels. Flying boats are shaped like thehull of a boat, so they can stay on thewater. Amphibians are:1. Shaped like frogs2. Able to go on land and water



Seaplanesby Jake

Did you ever think of making a boat fly or a planefloat? Well there is such a thing, and it's called a

3. Able to fly without any wings

Special purpose planes are planes that have special purposes such as performingtricks in shows or spraying chemicals on crops. Some amphibians also have aspecial purpose. They are used for putting out forest fires. They fly just abovethe lakes and ponds and suck up water so they can later spray it on forest fires.

So, there are a lot of different types of airplanes, and as we have learned, it sbecause there are a lot of different jobs for airplanes to do.

seaplane, and that's what you're going to learn about.

There are different kinds of seaplanes. Floatplanes use boat floats (called pontoons) at the bottomto float on water. Only the pontoons of a floatplane touch the water. The fuselage stays above thewater. Floatplanes are good fishing planes, because the boat floats at the bottom hang out to theside so you can stand on them. They are also good rescue planes because they can go on water tosave people from drowning. And of course, like most planes they are good for sightseeing.

There are also flying boats. A flying boat stays afloat on its watertight fuselage, which acts like aship's hull in the water. Most flying boats also have small floats on their wings to keep them stable.Flying boats are cool because they act like sleds in the water, because they just slide through thewater when they land. There are also amphibians that can land on water or land.

Amphibians can be either floatplanes or flying boats. They are special because in addition to beingable to float on water they have retractable wheels for landing on, well land. These planes are very

versatile because you could go fishing and thenmountain climbing on the same plane.

There have been some really famous flying boats.Howard Hughes (a famous pilot and aircraftdesigner) built a plane called the Hughes H-4Hercules. It was nicknamed the Spruce Goose(even though it was made of birch), and is thelargest flying boat ever built. The Spruce Goosewas built to hold 792 people. Hughes flew theplane only once in 1947. Today you can see theplane in McMinnville, Oregon where it is ondisplay. The Spruce Goose was important becauseit showed that the principles which make flight

possible are not limited by the size of the aircraft.

So now you know about amphibians, flying boats, and floatplanes.

HelicoptersBy Zach

A helicopter is a type of aircraft that uses spinning blades calledrotors to fly. A rotor is a huge propeller that is pointed straight up



into the air. When the helicopter s engine makes the rotor spin fast enough, thehelicopter lifts off the ground.

There is one main problem that makes helicopters complicated torque. Torque is whenthe rotors are spinning fast and the main body of the helicopter wants to spin the otherdirection. The most basic solution to torque is a small rotor on the back of the helicopter

called the tail rotor. This small rotor spins and pushes the body of thehelicopter in a direction opposite of the torque. Another solution is tandemrotors. In this approach there are two large rotors and they each spin in adifferent direction. This allows the torque of the two rotors to equal each

other out. Either of these approaches allows the helicopter to fly straight.

When on the ground, helicopters rest on either wheels or skids. Skids are mostly usedbecause they weigh less than wheels. On big helicopters wheels are used and not skids.Why? Guess.

Why do you think that on bigger helicopters wheels are used instead of skids?

• They look cooler• For convenience and they hold more weight• Wheels cost less

Most helicopters can fly about 200 to 350 milesper hour or 322 to 563 kilometers per hour. Thefarthest most helicopters can travel on one tankof fuel is 600 miles or 966 kilometers. This is notas fast as a plane but you don't want helicoptersto go too fast. They aren't used for speed.They're used for hovering, landing in small places,and other things planes can't do.

Helicopters have many benefits. They go muchfaster than cars, so they are an obvious way to get from place to place quickly. Since theycan land in places that airplanes cannot, business people often use them for convenience.Helicopters are great for rescuing, because they can land in small spots. Sometimeshelicopters are used to rescue people from places that cars can t even get to. Helicoptersare also used for the military, because they can move people quickly and lift heavy things.

Helicopters with two rotors are useful for lifting very heavy loads. Because all the enginepower goes to the main rotors, and not to a tail rotor, full power goes toward lift. Themost powerful helicopter in the world can carry 22 tons.



As early as the 1500 s, the Chinese played with a toy that when spun with your hands wouldlift into the air. Later, the Italian inventor Leonardo Da Vinci made drawings of a machinethat we would later call a helicopter.

How many years have today s modern helicopters been around?

• 200 or more years• 100-199 years• Less than 100 years

While early inventors tried to invent a helicopter, two problemskept them from making their dream a reality: an understandingof the concept of lift and a good engine. Over hundreds ofyears, many great minds worked on understanding lift for bothairplanes and helicopters. As time went on, everyone got to knowhow wings and rotors create lift. However, there was still notenough power available to turn the rotors of a helicopter. At theend of the nineteenth century the invention of a gas powered engine was a great help tocreating a helicopter. There were still a lot of problems that still had not been solved.Early helicopters did not have good solutions for torque. Over time the tail rotor and thedouble rotor were invented.

Over the short history of helicopters they have already proven to be very useful. I can twait to see what they come up with next!

AirplanesBy Leo

As you probably know, there are many typesof transportation, and the fastest type oftransportation is air travel. Not only is itfaster than land and sea travel, but it is alsoproven to be much safer. In this report, wewill be focusing on airplanes.

Airplanes have many purposes. They re notjust for taking passengers to theirdestination; they are also used for otherreasons such as delivering mail or fighting

wars. Did you know that some people use planes for doingtricks such as loop the loops or plunging down at a verticaldrop and swooping up right before they hit the ground?These people perform their tricks at shows and ride specialplanes called Acrobats. Other planes are used for fightingwars and battles, like Jump Jets. Jump Jets are planes thatneed very little runway and can land vertically. Another kindof army jet is an Interceptor. An Interceptor is a plane that

finds enemy aircraft and stops them from bombing targets.

There are many different kinds of planes and some ofthem are really odd like the glider. The glider is a planethat has no motors. Instead, it is towed by anotherplane, then when let go, it relies on currents of warmair (thermals). Another weird kind of airplane is acommuter airliner. Commuter airliners are smaller thanregular passenger planes and travel shorter distances.Commuter airliners typically have engines with sixpropellers that push the plane forward. This is whythey re called pusher engines. Commuter airliners alsohave radar in their nose cones, so they can detect weather that s miles away fromthem. There are also planes that land on water instead of land. These planes arecalled seaplanes. Instead of wheels, they have floats so they can float on thewater.



There are three main flying instruments on a plane, including:

1. The Air Speed Indicator this tells the pilot how fast the aircraft is going.It s kind of like a speedometer on a car except in knots instead of miles perhour or kilometers per hour.

2. The Horizontal Situation Indicator - this picks up navigation beams from itsdestination and indicates the distance and time it will take to reach thedestination.

3. The Attitude Detector this tells the pilot the difference between howstraight the wings are compared to the horizon, so the pilot can match themup.

There are also other instruments such as the compass (it tells the direction theplane is going) and the altimeter (it tells how high the plane is above the ground).

Air travel is getting more advanced everyday. They think that someday people willbe able to travel in a plane outside the atmosphere. Wouldn t that be great?
