Lecture 12: dream of flight Flashcards
who made the engine for the wright brothers?
Charles Taylor
what are transonic speeds?
supersonic and subsonic airflows acting together
what airplane changed the way built airplanes, conduct warfare, and travel today?
ME 262
what did Zepplin use to make his airship?
hydrogen/silver paint (cuz they had no helium)
what were the 3 innovations of the wright brothers?
- long and narrow wings with curve
- good for low speed
- control center
- modern propellor
who was/were the first to fly
Chinese
yuan huangtou
who built the first jet plane that we know of?
Henry Coanda
(internal combustion car engine with a turbine)
what aircraft still holds the speed reccord
SR 71 black bird
what was the problem with Whittle’s engine?
no way of increasing power
who capitalized on Schawrz’s design?
zepplin
who was the english monk who attached wings to himself and tried to fly
Eilmer of malmesbury
the ____ was the paradigm for the modern aircraft
Sikorsky S-22
what are the 3 types of plane engines?
- turbojet engine
- blades
- compressed air entering combustion chaimber
- exhaust powers flight (thrust)
- Turbo Fan engine
- works on cold thrust
- quiet and efficient
- Ramjet
- tube with fuel injector and spark plug
- no movable parts
- the faster you go, the more efficient it is
first plane started with the ___ engine
steam
who was responsible for the first company to produce jet engines?
Frank Whittle
who made the Dirigible airship?
David Schwarz
what was the first opperational passenger aircraftt?
Sikorsky S-22
what doesnt the SR 71 have?
no armament
who was responsible for the first mass produced aircraft engines?
Hans Von Ohain
who was Ader? talk about his importance

what airplane made by the wright brothers was strictly a war plane?
the flyer 3
who was the french engineer who powered flight?
Henry Giffard
the wright brothers plane became obsolete technology
True
what lead to the creation of rocket fuel?
the silver paint from the zepplin
what is probably the first flying machine? made by whome>
hydrogen-controlable
Giffard
Henry Giffard made the best airplane at the time
FALSE: wright brothers
the ME 262 did ltos of damage cus of its superior design
FALSE: hitler made it a bomber and supressed its full potential as an airplane
what are the 4 things necessary to break the sound barrier?
- swept wing design
- more powerful engines
- large control surfaces with no tail
- coke bottle principle
why is david schwarz important?
- made the dirigible airship (crayon looking thing)
- based his work on french engineers
- made an airship with aluminium metal frame with daimler engine
