Aircraft


Aircraft is perhaps one of the most amazing inventions of mankind in recent years, even the idea that such a huge "steel bird" can rise thousands of kilometers above the ground strikes. Therefore, I would like to write a few interesting facts about them.

Of course the crash one of the worst, so they paid a lot of attention, but they happen very rarely. Imagine that every 3 seconds in the world landed on the aircraft, and the accidents occur infrequently. Had a chance to crash the aircraft would have been only 0.01%, the day was broken to more than 13 aircraft.

In 1972 there was an accident with the aircraft, in consequence of which he fell out of a flight attendant at an altitude of 10 160 meters. The most amazing thing is that of all the people in the disaster, survived it alone.

One of the most horrible zones for passengers is a zone of turbulence. It is due to the discharged air portion. In this case, the turbulence is very rarely leads to disaster, even though the strong shaking of the aircraft, but pilots still trying to fly around these areas so as not to irritate passengers.

Most of the time the aircraft is under the control of the autopilot, which allows pilots to rest, read the paper, have a snack, watch a movie on DVD, but in fact it is forbidden for them.

If you ever have the desire during the flight open the door, you know - it's impossible. In door built barometric switch that blocks the door during flight.

The famous black box actually has not black, and is not always a box. Usually the black boxes are round (for greater operating shock rating) and bright colors (yellow, red) to make them easier to find. Black as he is called foreshadows bad events.

You must pay attention to hlyupkie seat on the plane and wondering why they are needed. In fact, the belts were not just believe me, hitting a pocket of air at a speed of 800 km / h you will fly around the cabin, if you are not wearing.

In the world every day at least one plane hit by lightning, but does not bring him any damage. People see a bright flash, a powerful roar, but the aircraft continued to fly further, thanks to its special device that is protected against lightning strikes.

Aircraft refueled always full, but at the first non-standard situation, they immediately sit down at the alternate airport, why do so? The fact that jet fuel is very expensive and airlines not to leave at a loss have to save every liter of fuel.

In 1901, several professors have shown that the aircraft is able to fly banal, because it is heavier than air. This allowed the Senate to close down all funding development of aircraft in the US, but after only 3 years of the famous Wright brothers made their aircraft, which gave way to the latest aviation developments.
