...Forward Swept Wing Fighter Needed For US ME 363 Engineering Tools, Analysis, and Communication Abstract When looking for the next best thing in aviation, sometimes it is important to look back at old ideas that have not been used yet. A forward-swept wing provides better lift to drag ratios, compared to a swept-back wing of the same area, higher lift to drag ratio; higher capacity in dogfight maneuvers; higher range at subsonic speed; improved stall resistance and anti-spin characteristics; improved stability at high angles of attack; a lower minimum flight speed; and a shorter take-off and landing distance. Comparing the only U.S. forward-swept wing jet (X-29A) to contemporary fighters, the X-29A outperforms them in angle of attack and lift to drag ratios. Forward Swept Wing Fighter Needed For US Introduction A forward swept wing design has been tested and dismissed by the United States, though it just might be the right configuration for the next United States fighter aircraft. NASA tested the X-29, a forward-swept wing jet, back in the early 90’s and submitted their data, but a fighter aircraft was never produced. Over the years since then certain areas of engineering have advanced and are now up to the task of supporting an aircraft featuring a forward-swept wing. This forward-swept wing configuration gives several advantages to a fighter aircraft which could be the deciding factor of a dogfight. “In 1936...

The first recruit mental state was unstable because of the shock of war. Erich Maria Remarque shows that even Himmelstoss, has a small case of shellshock. Himmelstoss would not move out of the trench. Paul yelled “You lump, will you get out--you hound, you skunk, sneak out of it, would you?" His eye becomes glassy, I knock his head against the wall--"You cow"--I kick him in the ribs--"You swine"--I push him toward the door and shove him out head first.” Himmelstoss did not move out of the trench until the lieutenant saw paul and him and yells “Foward, foward, join in, follow”... “Himmelstoss hears the order, looks round him as if awakened, and follows...

...I am home, however, I like to fill the house with some form of noise....to block out the road and neighborhood noise. Seems silly to want to distract myself from one noise and replace it with another, but I do! While the music is playing, I try to complete as much schoolwork as possible. The effectiveness of my listening varied from song to song. Since I stream music online through the use of Pandora or the likes, it chooses random music based on your likes and dislikes. Whenever a song was on that I did not care for, I would either zone out of listening to that and really focus on my work in front of me until the next song came on, or I would stop what I was doing completely, and switch my focus 100% on skipping foward onto the next song. Next, I continued foward to further disect my listening style. To better understand this, I had to compare my results with real human interaction, not an online music station! After completing the textbook evaluation, It heavily pointed towards my hunch that I am both a Critical and Task-Oriented Listener. I am good at quickly evaluating the information that I hear while listening for the underlying bottom line. As well, depending on the situation, I listen to figure out what exactly it is that is needed to be done to complete a task. I like it quick and straight to the point! As for my apprehension when...

Pershing expressed his thoughts on the victory, “This striking victory completely demonstrated the wisdom of building up a distinct American army.” From July 28, 1914 till November 11, 1918 the world was in great despair pleading for a resolution yet fought as brothers amongst each other. “In all your work remember the arduous duties of the troops on the ground… Their losses correspond to yours. You must protect them and show them the way foward. Work closely with them, because only by the combined wirk of all arms will our full power be developed” stated, General William Mitchell expressing the importance of teamwork in the art of war.

Affecting them to do bad things without knowing it was bad because they dont know the real consequences. Another author who i agree with is Paul thompson who is foward with abolishing the mandatory life in prison for juveniles who commit murders, he also agrees that young adolecents dont commit murders just because they want to but because they go through changes which makes them act the way they do. Thompson researches on the human brai he says that any young teenager is far from adulthood. Also he gives facts on how theirs a “massive loss brain tissue occurs in teen years” also how the tv programs is a major factor on the brain and how the brain changes its development because of that. On June 25, 2012 the supreme court ruled that the juveniles commiting murder will not be sentenced to life in prison because it violates the eight amendment on no cruel and unsual punishment.

News of the birth was posted in accordance with tradition by a royal footman on an ornate “Roccoco revival-style” easel inside the railings of Buckingham Palace as a crowd gathered outside celebrated. It was also confirmed that Catherine, 31, and her son were “doing well” and will remain in hospital overnight. In an unusually forthright statement, Prince Charles announced that he was relishing the prospect of grandfatherhood, announcing that he and Camilla were “overjoyed”. The heir to the throne said: “Grandparenthood is a unique moment in anyone’s life, as countless kind people have told me in recent months, so I am enormously proud and happy to be a grandfather for the first and we are eagerly looking foward to seeing the baby in the near future.” In its statement, Kensington Palace said: “Her Royal Highness The Duchess of Cambridge was safely delivered of a son at 4.24pm.

...Alfred Foward November 4, 2015 The Right Choice: The Brutal Slamming of a Girl Like many others, I was totally stunned by a video from South Carolina, about a sixteen year old African American girl, getting brutally slam by an enormous assistance police officer, because she didn’t put her cellphone away. This was an outrageous thing to do to a child. This inhumane act against this girl totally burns-out the simple rights given by every child. Slamming a girl across the room and probably choking her, is one hundred percent, NOT OK. She is just a student, a girl, a child, not a criminal or aggressive gang member. Childs of every age and raze are supposed to be treated with respect and care. But apparently this young African American girl was the exception. Luckily, the video of the attack, was introduce to the world by one the fellow classmates of the assaulted girl in the video. This student was bravely and smart enough to tape the video and do something magnificent about the awful aggression. She show the video to the world media. But, even after doing the right a civil thing we all need to do, the student got arrested and fine a thousand dollar bail. Therefore, I asked myself, “Is this the senseless act we are teaching our children?” To be cautious when doing the right thing, because you may get trouble or even arrested. “No, is not!” The brave student who taped the video got an unfair treatment for something that should had been rewarded with a golden statue...

...wives and if they do they will be punish by the law. Women have the freedom to choose the education they wish to pursuit. According to times magazine “In the 25-34 age group, 37.5% of women have a bachelor's degree or higher, while only 29.5% of men do.” This percentage represent that women that are in the same age group as men have a higher number of bachelor’s degree or higher. However, women are not equally getting payed as men, although they be doing the same job task. According to document 5 The Feminist Movement it states “ Despite steady advances by women toward achieving equal pay with men, in 2005 on average women were paid just $.75 for every $1.00 earned for men in the same job.” This evidence shows that we still have not move foward and women are still getting discriminated because of their gender. In Conclusion, we do need a Seneca Falls Convention because they fight for what is fair. Womens from the 20th century have changed drastically but there are people that think women should be submissive and not have right. Do we need a Seneca Falls Convention? Yes, because some women are getting lower salaries than men, discriminated, and harassed in some workplace. ...
