Aviation Aviation fun for pilots and aviation hobbyists
Aviation involves the use of such crafts as fixed-wing aircrafts and rotary-wing vehicles, wing-less lifting bodies,
lighter-than-air crafts such as hot air balloons and airships.
Aviation also includes all of those activities dealing with mechanical flight and the industry surrounding the proper operation of these aircrafts.
And, there is a new type of wing, the morphable wing aircraft. This newly developed wing architecture is expected to be able to greatly simplify the
manufacturing process and reduce fuel consumption by improving the aerodynamics with such wings.
The development and operation of heavier-than-air aircraft shapes the framework of aviation.
That includes military aviation, the development and use of aircraft by the military, and
civil aviation, aircrafts used for all nonmilitary purposes such as used by airlines to provide air transportation
or for carrying cargo by commercial aircraft.
Jobs in aviation
Aviation offers many lucrative job opportunities. Jobs such as: Aircraft Electrical Installer or Technician,
Aircraft Manufacturing Engineer, Airline Pilot, Airport Operations Manager, Air Traffic Controller, Aviation Maintenance
Technician and Quality Control Personnel.
A little history of Aviation
Aviation and aeronautical engineering can be traced back many centuries. It could be said that aviation began in the 5th century with the invention of kites in China.
Leonardo da Vinci, the famous artist, created drafts for an aircraft in his paintings in the 15th century.
Tito Livio Burattini developed a model aircraft featuring four pairs of glider wings in 1647. Today, the dream of flight has become a practical reality where we can board
jets and travel around the planet at high speeds.
Sir George Cayley of England, developed some of the basic scientific principles of heavier-than-air flight as early as the 19th century.
Otto Lilienthal of Germany became the first person to make and fly successful gliders. This wa in the 1890s.
Inspired by Lilienthal, Wilbur and Orville Wright, two American brothers, developed a fully practical double-winged glider that could be controlled in every direction.
With their success by 1902, they went on to fit a small engine and two propellers to another biplane.
On December 17, 1903, the Wright brothers made the first successful human-carrying, engine-powered heavier-than-air flight in the world.
This took place at a site near Kitty Hawk, North Carolina.
Meteorology is a big factor in aviation
Meteorology is the branch of sciences which studies atmospheric conditions. Its major focus is on weather forecasting.
Although there has bensignificant progress made in meteorology, the study of meteorology dates back millennia,
it was not until the 18th century that we begin to see the greatest progress in the knowledge of meteorology.
Weather reports
The weather report predominantly used by aircraft pilots, and by meteorologists is a METAR.
The METAR information is used to assist in weather forecasting. It is a codified observation message indicating an airfield weather conditions observed at a given time.
METAR stands for 'METeorological Aerodrome Report'.
