The following post contains the details of different space exhibits at the Museum of Flight.

Bridge connecting Museum of Flight main building to Space gallery

Visitors crossing the T. Evans Wyckoff Memorial Bridge are immersed in a unique and pleasurable acoustic experience as they walk along the “aviation-like structure.” Commissioned by the Museum and created by local interdisciplinary artist and musician Paul Rucker, Trails of Vapor is a collection of sounds from milestone events in the history of aviation and space exploration and popular aviation-themed music broadcasted by speakers strategically placed along the length of the bridge.  

Boeing Rolls Out it's 737-Max Before time..!!

Boeing rolled out its first Boeing 737 MAX Tuesday(8-Dec) morning in Renton, Wash.

Boeing to roll out first 737 Max ahead of schedule

Boeing plans to roll out its first 737 Max jetliner on Dec. 8, a significant step in moving toward delivery of the latest version of Boeing’s (NYSE:BA) smallest jet.

Such roll-outs are media events, a signal that flight testing will soon begin.

Actual deliveries to airlines are to start in the third quarter of 2017 to launch customer Southwest Airlines, one of the strongest buyers of the single-aisle jet.

Boeing Completes 737 MAX 8 Power On

737 Max 800 getting close to completion

Boeing has completed the power-on milestone for the first 737 Max 8 as the re-engined and updated single-aisle aircraft is pieced together on a new assembly line in Renton, Washington.

The power-on milestone activated a modernised cockpit featuring four 787-style multi-function displays supplied by Rockwell Collins.

The 737 Max electrical s system was adapted to support the improved cockpit systems, as well as the addition of electronically-controlled spoilers.

The following post contains the details of different  exhibits inside the Museum of Flights building.

Detailed explanations of each plane would be in separate post.

When you enter the museum you will find 3 paths. One will lead you to the aircraft gallery, Other leads to the WW2 aircraft gallery & the last path leads to a bridge which transfers to the other side of the road where there is gallery of space modules.

Museum of Flight Part 1: A Must go place for all Aviation Lovers

Hi Everyone.! Greetings for the Day.! This post is about my experience at Museum of flight Seattle. During a short visit to Seattle I had got  chance to experience the Museum of flight at Seattle. Its an amazing place where a person ought to go if he/she wishes to see the evolution of aircraft. The museum of flight is situated at 9404E Marginal way S. It has got legends of aircraft history like The Concorde, Airforce One, First B747 etc. The current post consists of the aircraft which are found outside the Museum of flight. Details of each aircraft will be given in separate posts

Main Entrance of Museum of Flight

Aircrafts at the entrance seem to be welcoming you to visit the museum.

Fiat G.91 Pan

The Fiat G.91 was designed in the mid-1950s to meet NATO requirements for a tactical fighter and ground support aircraft. Several features, especially the swept wings, tail, and fuselage structure, bear a great resemblance to the North American F-86 Sabre jet fighter. As recently as the mid-1990s, G.91s were still flying with the air forces of Italy and other European countries.

Boeing 787 : A dream come true

Dreamliner

Its a plane which will make you feel of your dreams coming true. Inside the flight one will not be able to hear the outside noise. The mood lighting inside the cabin makes you feel comfortable to sleep & also helps you avert jet lag. Its aerodynamically very efficient & glider type plane. It is fuel efficient.  There are 3 variants of 787(-8,-9,-10) out of which only -8 & -9 are currently operational.
The major differences between all the models is fuselage length, capacity and range. The more the capacity & length the less is the range.

Understanding Reynolds number (Re) and its effects on Aircraft design

Hi everyone, Greetings from Aviation Dreamers..

By reducing the dimensions of a full-sized aircraft proportionally, a scaled model will be obtained, however, it seldom becomes an easy flying one.The main aerodynamic differences between a model and a full-sized aircraft are originated from the boundary layer, the thin layer of air close to the wing
surface that is slowed down by skin friction.

According to Osborne Reynolds, there are two main types of flow: The laminar and the turbulent.
Which flow type occurs within the boundary layer at a given point of the wing's surface depends on the wing's form, the surface's roughness, the chord length, the airspeed and the ratio of density to viscosity of the air.Reynolds combined all those factors (except the surface condition) into a non-
dimensional number known as Reynolds Number Re.

Re = (air density/air viscosity) x air speed x wing chord

Boeing Begins Assembly of First 737-Max

First Look of 737-Max Assembly

Boeing has started the final assembly of its first 737-max. The wings & the advanced technology winglets have been attached to the fuselage. This aircraft will be giving a competition to its rival Airbus A320 neo. According to Boeing this aircraft has got 1.8% additional fuel efficiency. The tails section is yet to arrive for assembly.

The MAX is being built on a dedicated production line at Boeing's Renton factory.

Future of Flight Aviation Center Experience

On 29th Aprils 2015, I had got the opportunity to visit Future of Flight Aviation Center & also experience the Boeing Everett Factory tour. It's the best experience an aviation lover can get.

First Look : I was awestruck seeing the complete field area, as soon as I got down from the cab.
There were around 20 dream liners ready for delivery. There was even pre delivery testing of 777ER and 787-9 was going on. The thing which I liked the most was that people are not allowed to take their vehicles into the factories other than most experienced person.

Please do post your queries & experiences with other ratios than mentioned so that we can also learn new things. Please do share your views.

With the following steps one can build his/her own small scale RC plane.

Electronic Speed Controller(ESC)

Electronic Speed Controller known as ESC has 2 major functions :
1) Converts battery voltage down to 5v which is what a receiver runs off if. Not all speed controllers have this capability. When buying one what you are looking for is  ESC which says on it BEC or UBEC. This stands for [ (Universal) Battery Elimination Circuit]

Forces on an Aircraft

Hi Everyone, greetings from Aviation Dreamers

Talking about the forces on an Aircraft, There are basically 4 forces that are assumed to be acting on an aircraft.

 

Forces on a plane

The forces acting on a plane are:

1. Lift
2. Weight
3. Thrust
4. Drag
