We all know manufacturing airplanes is hard. It has been a tough ever since 1903 to come up with a perfect airplane. There are many opportunities and chances for improvements. Many engineers and intelligent people have been working on developing the best planes. They always have ideas on how to make it better. There are many weird aspects in an airplane and it takes a long time to builds the perfect airplane. When you go in a place there are many things that are built to make sure that the airplane functions perfectly for example, instructions to not using our phone, or seat belts, or warning us for takeoff and dimming the lights. finally, even the fact that they have tiny holes in the windows is pretty cool.

Gulfstream aerospace has been around for a long time. They have been creating and delivering the world’s finest aviation experience. It has been leading the evolution of the business and aviation since 1958 debuted of the Gulfstream.

Andreas Rupprecht, a known Chinese aviation expert and Regular Aircraft contributor has recently published pictures of a newly discovered Chinese air-launched missile under the wing of the Shenyang J-16 fighter. Analysts believe it is a big one at about 6m long based.

Airbus and Arconic have agreed to enter into two agreements for the production of 3D-printed metal parts and components. Both types of parts will be produced of two different types of materials such as high-temp nickel super alloys and titanium for the aircrafts parts that will be used on the Airbus’ commercial aircraft. These parts that are in the process of being produced are to be used on the A320 Airbus aircraft family. The material of the products was determined for certain reasons by Airbus to be used on their aircrafts such the nickel super alloy.

President Elect Mr. Donald Trump has put much thought into his advisory and has his eye on a certain Senator to be placed to lead the pentagon. US Senator Mr. Thomas Cotton, who served as an infantry officer on missions in Iraq and Afghanistan. The choices for who to put in the Sectary of Defense position where varied from retired generals and many more contenders.

If people have reached a very high level of technology and helicopters have become very useful in numerous aspects of life from personal use, to emergencies, to military, armed forces, to industrial and corporate use. A Helicopter is not only useful but it can be essential in some cases. Aurora Flight Sciences is determined to find ways to develop new and advanced ways to fly vertically from the ground without the help or the need for a pilot. This system has been at work for many years where people are trying to achieve autonomous flight system for vertical take-off and landing (VTOL). This project is being planned to create an unmanned UH-1H helicopter, an UH-1H helicopter that is fully capable with advanced VTOL systems making it one of the few helicopters of its kind.

We don’t usually think about light but people began to learn about light more than a thousand years ago. What are the characteristics of light and is the light we see the only light that exist? This was discovered by one of the most famous physicist of all time, Isaac Newton. When he was studying the different wavelengths of light he was experimenting with the different characteristics of the colors of the rainbow. He discovered that at every wavelength or every color of the rainbow carries different energy and the way he found that out is by placing a thermometer under each color. He had a piece of crystal that can reflect the suns light to all the colors of the rainbow on the table he placed it placed on. He placed a thermometer under each color and he saw a steady increase of temperature as he moved from one color to the next. The most interesting thing is that after he passed all the colors he placed the thermostat on the table close to the rainbow but not under any of the colors reflected from the crystal, what he saw was astonishing because the thermostat had the highest reading from all colors. That’s when the infrared light was discovered.
