The History of Commercial Aviation and Passenger Travel

In 1903, the Wright brothers made the dream of human flight possible by inventing the first-ever aeroplane.   It is no hyperbole to say that this brought about a revolution in the world, which could not have even imagined that flying was possible. Commercial aviation is much more than just a mode of transport. It also brings cultures together, advancing economies and creating new prospects.

The Rise of Jet Engines and Supersonic Flight

  The evolution from piston engines to jet propulsion marks a notable moment in the history of aviation, significantly reducing travel times. By the late 1930s, the masters understood that propeller-driven aircraft were approaching a physical "ceiling." As the tips of the propeller approached the speed of sound, they encountered considerable drag and lost the ability to produce thrust effectively. As a result, aviation innovators such as Sir Frank Whittle in the UK and Hans von Ohain in Germany are credited with the development of the gas turbine engine. The process of a jet engine is on the basis of the principle of "suck, squeeze, bang, blow, drawing in air, compressing, mixing it with fuel for ignition and then burning it at high velocities. This led to the first jet-powered flight of the Heinkel He 178 in the year 1939.

When Do the Wheels of an Aeroplane Open and Close?

The landing gear of an aircraft is an essential component. It helps the plane to land on the runway and take off. A pilot needs to know when to open and close the wheels of the plane. This process is followed for technical reasons and also to ensure safety, efficiency and aerodynamic performance of an aircraft. The wheels of an aircraft are in contact with the runway during takeoff and landing.   The Landing gear usually consists of three or more wheels, shock absorbers, a brake system and a hydraulic or electro-mechanical retraction system. In larger aircraft, these wheels are recessed into the fuselage after takeoff to decrease aerodynamic drag and save fuel. This blog will help you learn about the details of how the process of opening and closing the wheels of an aircraft works and how aviation academies assist pilots in learning it.
