INTRODUCTION TO AEROSPACE / AVIATION TRANSPORTATION SYSTEMS
ATMOSPHERIC TRANSPORTATION n Flight vehicles that rely upon the “forces of flight and are affected by aerodynamics. ”
LIGHTER THAN AIR VEHICLES n Balloons – Usually filled with some type of gas – Helium, hot air, or Hydrogen – Carries passengers
AIRSHIPS n n Dirigibles, Zeppelins Designed to replace the Ocean Liner – Almost as long as the Titanic! n n n Steel skeleton with a fabric skin Filled with Helium or Hydrogen Carries passengers
FACT The Empire State Building was built to actually dock Zeppelins. It was never finished. Airship passengers would get out, climb down the stairs and take an elevator to the ground floor.
HEAVIER THAN AIR VEHICLES n Powered Flight – Passenger Plane n Non-Powered – Glider
FIXED WING n n n The wings are attached and they cannot move Used in passenger, military and cargo applications Most aircraft use Fixed Wing construction
MOVABLE WING n HELICOPTER n VTOL – Vertical Take Off Landing
Early airplanes - Propeller n n Wright Brothers - 1909 – Orville and Wilbur
n Charles Lindberg 1927 – Spirit of St. Louis flies across the Atlantic. – The first solo Transatlantic flight with instruments.
Charles Lindberg, won the $25, 000 cash prize that a NY hotel tycoon had put up for the first aviator to fly across the Atlantic Ocean and land in Paris, France.
Amelia Earhart n First woman to fly across the Atlantic Ocean n One of the first woman flying instructors n Flew from the Atlantic to the Pacific Coast solo on several occasions. Amelia wanted to end her career by flying around the world. . . but crashed in the Pacific Ocean and didn’t survive.
Jet-engine airplanes n Chuck Yeager – 1947 breaks the sound barrier
n Jet Engine Marvels; by 1964 top speed reaches over Mach 3; SR-71 A spyplane
Commercial Jet Liners Transport passengers and cargo as fast and comfortable as possible. • With a unstable economy, most companies are filing for bankruptcy n
