Leonardo da Vinci - The Man Who Wanted To Know Everything Leonardo da Vinci was one of the greatest genius’s that’s ever lived, also known as the first modern mind. He was a painter, sculptor, architect, musician, mathematician, engineer, inventor, anatomist, geologist, cartographer, botanist, and writer. Leonardo has often been described as the archetype of the Renaissance man, a man of "unquenchable curiosity" and "feverishly inventive imagination". He is widely considered to be one of the

People have dreamed of flying ever since they first gazed into the sky and saw birds flying overhead. Early attempts at flight often resulted in failure. This failure was not primarily due to airfoil design but instead was attributable to the lack of technology needed to produce a source of power sufficient to sustain flight. The development of aviation power plants has resulted from utilization of principles that were employed in the design of earlier internal-combustion engines. During the latter

* Flight testing: * Stability and control augmentation * Certification: requires an airplane to satisfy certain handling and flying qualities requirements. This design process thus have nearly always left the stability and dynamics aspects to the end, where six degrees of freedom of motion are used to evaluate flying and handling qualities of aircraft. Finally, if these criteria do not match with the required satisfaction level of pilot or the industry standards, design of control systems

On Saturday, March 8th, 2014, Malaysian Airlines flight MH-370 mysteriously vanished. The world was in shock. Everyone was asking, how does one of the largest commercial airplanes disappear? My point of writing this essay is to give more information on what we know happened, what experts & theorists think happened, and what could have happened. With that being said, this specific plane crash is one of the most bizarre of all time. It was a learning experience to a lot of people, and a tragedy to

strategy of inclement weather procedures. Inflight attendants failed to identify passengers with close-connecting flights and to notify employees at destination airport to hold planes. Resulted in loss of revenue and possible long term customers. 3. Poor management control over gate boarding and gate closing, failure to monitor departure time schedule for flights. International flight departed ahead of scheduled time without regard as to passenger list and reasons for possible passenger delays

Leonardo da Vinci (1452-1519) wrote a treatise, the Codex on the Flight of Birds, which put forth the first scientific observations on the subject of flight. He discovered the vortices that are produced off the wings, and observed the alulae, or "thumbs" of the wings. He was concerned with the center of gravity, stability, and manoeuvrability. Leonardo sketched several types of flying machines: helical wing, beating wings, parachute, and bat's wings. Through real life trial and error Da Vinci
