Sir George Cayley ex Wiki
Sir George Cayley,[1]
6th Baronet (27 December 1773 – 15 December 1857)[2]
was an English
engineer,
inventor, and aviator. He is one of the most important people in the history
of
aeronautics. Many consider him to be the first true scientific aerial
investigator and the first person to understand the underlying principles
and forces of
flight.[3]
In 1799, he set forth the concept of the modern aeroplane as a fixed-wing flying machine with separate systems for lift, propulsion, and control.[4] [5] He was a pioneer of aeronautical engineering and is sometimes referred to as "the father of aviation."[3] He discovered and identified the four forces which act on a heavier-than-air flying vehicle: weight, lift, drag and thrust.[6] Modern aeroplane design is based on those discoveries and on the importance of cambered wings, also identified by Cayley.[7] He constructed the first flying model aeroplane and also diagrammed the elements of vertical flight.[8] He also designed the first glider reliably reported to carry a human aloft. He correctly predicted that sustained flight would not occur until a lightweight engine was developed to provide adequate thrust and lift.[9] The Wright brothers acknowledged his importance to the development of aviation.[9]
Cayley represented the Whig party as Member of Parliament for Scarborough from 1832 to 1835, and in 1838, helped found the UK's first Polytechnic Institute, the Royal Polytechnic Institution (now University of Westminster) and served as its chairman for many years. He was a founding member of the British Association for the Advancement of Science and was a distant cousin of the mathematician Arthur Cayley.
America Downgrading Israel's Aviation Safety Ranking
[
20 November 2008 ]
QUOTE
The U.S Federal Aviation
Administration is expected to announce the lowering of Israel's aviation
security ranking following an inspection on Wednesday that uncovered severe
security shortcomings in the Israel Civil Aviation Authority. As a result
the image of Israeli airlines in the United States and in Europe may be
harmed, as well as their profitability.
As a consequence of the announcement, Israeli airlines' flights to the
United States will be limited, meaning there will be no additional flights
to the U.S and no option for other aircrafts [ sic ] to be added. Moreover,
supervision on air traffic and the activity of Israeli airlines in the U.S
will be increased........
The Lapidot public committee, headed by former Israel Air Force Commander
Amos Lapidot,... stated that the aviation safety in Israel is in a
"catastrophic state."

You expect Jews to get this
sort of thing right because they are hated; quite reasonably of course. The
sensible answer is have nothing to do with them.
$285 MILLION B-1b STEALTH BOMBER MAKES BELLY-LANDING IN DIEGO GARCIA
[
3 December 2006 ]
That is a lot of money but it is only tax
payers' money so nobody really cares. If the driver had remembered to put the
wheels down it would have saved $7.9 million
on the aircraft and $14,025 on
the runway. All credit to the men who built the runway. The pilot might find
himself flying a desk hence forth and that is if he is lucky. The B1 is rather
beautiful. So is the background scenery.
There are also pictures at Bad Landings - https://www.premierflightct.com/newsletters/TrainingArticles/GearUpB-1.html. There are better pix and informed comments at B-1 Recovery, Diego Garcia - http://www.zianet.com/tedmorris/dg/bombers4.html
Build a Cruise Missile for $5K
Building your own cruise missile for US$5,000 may sound like
a fantasy if you know how much the tax payers get screwed out of for anything
airborne. It is not. $5,000 covers the parts One objective was to buy them
without getting noticed. It happened and a lot of them were exported from
America to New Zealand without problems. The man doing this one has solid back
ground in model aircraft, jet engines and computing.
Australia gets spyplane drones
[ 15 December 2005 ]
They sound useful. The customs and fishery protection people need
them too. At A$145 million they ain't cheap. They are from Israel with stolen(?)
American(?) technology.
Australian Forces Becoming Invaders
[ 15 December 2005 ]
The RAAF is getting the heavy lift capability to move their
main battle tanks by air. That means invasions just like the Russian army when
it was in East Germany. All of their tanks were equipped for river crossings and
you don't do those when you are falling back.
Jewish choppers in service of drug cartel [

American made choppers went to drug runners. American officials
are asking questions. Does this get worldwide media attention? Not on your life.
India to buy Zionist drones in 220 million dollar deal [ 5 November

Selling American technology to China annoyed the Americans. They
are still doing it. See the previous entry.
Colonel saw engine blast before air disaster
Fly Air Ethnic and take your chances? Not me. American air lines
are quite conscientious. They can't take the bad publicity. Remember PanAm? Nor
can anyone else after Lockerbie and it wasn't even their fault. Brits are all
right for the same reason. They can't hide from the publicity. Europeans? All
right but after that get very selective.
