The Checks Required To Perform Aircraft Maintenance
Airplanes are one of the most complicated machines ever built by humans. People often overlook the sheer level of engineering that goes into manufacturing a metal machine that can sustain flight for several hours, cross oceans, land countless times and repeat the same procedures the next day. When boarding a modern jet airplane, it’s easyContinue reading “The Checks Required To Perform Aircraft Maintenance”
Where do some strange sounds come from during flight?
While traveling in planes, passengers may feel some strange actions and sounds during take-off, flight, and landing.

How Do Gliders Fly?
Gliders are planes without an engine. They have four forces acting on them – lift, weight (gravity), drag and thrust.
