Mountain Flying Safety Considerations
... First, weather in the mountains is always a critical factor, especially in the winter when winds can reach speeds of over 100 mph over the ridge tops and through the many mountain passes even though the winds at the surface may be only 25 mph. This produces not only up and down drafts, but wind shea ...

Flight in Nature

In some insect orders, most notably the Odonata, the wings move independently during flight. As the forewing lifts, the hindwing lowers. Insect flight requires more than a simple up and down m ...

Bernoulli`s principle

Put simply, a moving fluid has less pressure than if that fluid was not moving. This relationship was derived by Daniel Bernoulli, who was a Swiss ...

Flight
Flight is the process by which an object moves, through an atmosphere (especially the air) or beyond it (as in the case of spaceflight), by generating aerodynamic lift, propulsive thrust, aerostatically using buoyancy, or by ballistic movement, without direct support from any surface.Many things fly, from natural aviators such as birds, bats and insects to human inventions such as missiles, aircraft such as airplanes, helicopters and balloons, to rockets such as spacecraft.The engineering aspects of flight are studied in aerospace engineering which is subdivided into aeronautics, the study of vehicles that travel through the air, and astronautics, the study of vehicles that travel through space, and in ballistics, the study of the flight of projectiles.
