Through the course of the Second World War, Germany partook in numerous courses of research and development of weapons systems and platforms that were believed that they could help win the war more quickly and later hopefully turn the tide of the war. Of these the more ambitious and advanced attempts without doubt were the projects dubbed as Germany’s Wunderwaffen, or “Wonder Weapons”, by the nation’s Propaganda network. Several of these projects proved instrumental to advancement of many people

The first name that comes to mind when talking about the history of airplanes are The Wright Brothers. Orville and Wilbur were American inventors who are credited with the inventing, building, and flying the first self propelled airplane that could be controlled and could land safely. On December 17, 1903, the Wright brothers set for the skies and made the first controlled flight near Kitty Hawk, North Carolina. From the first powered, manned, and controlled flight many aspects of the airplane has

The Innovation of War War is an unforgettable event in our history, but through them, they can create some great opportunities to better the future. There have been some remarkable inventions as a byproduct of war, and that has in turn revolutionized our way of life in communication, transportation, and medicine. Many of your everyday items were develop during a time of war, mainly because war has always been an accelerator for technological advancements. It brings the research phase to the utilization

Have you ever wondered how engines work? That is exactly what this paper is about, engines. I will explain how Wankel engines, Diesel engines, turbojet engines, Gnome rotary engines, two stroke engines, and four stroke engines work. I will also explain their histories. Some times when you look at an engine it looks like a mess and you wonder how it could make anything move. The two stroke engine was very popular in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Two stroke engines were used in cars, tractors

Air Breathing Engines Author: Mohsin Rehman Abstract: This paper mentions the history and early attempts at propulsion and the basic principle and theory of propulsion. Different types of air breathing engines like turbojet turbofan ramjet scramjet etc. their basic working principle along with their different working parts and the air planes on which these engines successfully worked are discussed down the path. Progresses made on historical basis, future planning for the betterment of

The heat engine I chose to research was the jet engine. The jet engine is a heat engine specialized to use jet propulsion for forward thrust. The first credible theory on jet engines was made by Sir Isaac Newton. He theorized that a backward-siphoned explosion could move a machine forward at a momentous rate of speed. This theory was based off of his third law of motion which is for every action there is an equal and opposite re-action. This law states that for every force there is a reaction force

I. Summary After World War II, aircraft structures had to be redesigned to enable the use of turbojet power instead of piston engine power. After its first flight on February 15th, 1946, the DC-6 piston powered aircraft quickly became the workhorse for passenger aircraft. With a wingspan of one-hundred and seventeen feet, six inches, and a total length of one-hundred feet, seven inches, this airframe was able to hold roughly one-hundred and five individuals. For nearly ten years, the DC-6 was incomparable

Ramjet, is the latest evolution of the jet engine family. NASA made the news with each test of the X-43A scramjet craft, so I set about to discover why this type of jet engine should garner so much scientific attention. Turbojet The most basic jet engine is the turbojet. As soon as the air enters the front of the engine, the blades of the compressor, compresses the air before funneling it into the combustion chamber. During the compression, not only is the density of the air increased by

AERONAUTICAL PROPULSION SYSTEMS This report is an investigation into the evolution and mechanical functionality of aeronautical propulsion systems, from the early attempts at propulsion to modern propulsion system such as propeller, internal combustion engine, ramjet engine and gas turbine. As this report will focus of aeronautical propulsion systems, rocket propulsion systems are almost exclusively involved in astronautics and will not be discussed. As an engineer will have to decide the best
