AVIATION PIONEERS

                         SOME OF AVIATION PIONEERS

                        LEONARDO DA VINCI(1452-1519)


  • Leonardo da Vinci or simply Leonardo, was an Italian polymath of the Renaissance, whose areas of interest included invention, painting, sculpting, architecture etc
  • Leonardo da Vinci designed ornithopter wings to flap simultaneously downward and backward for lift and propulsion
  • the idea of ornithopter was from the flight of birds with flapping wings. 

                                  WRIGHT BROTHERS

                                     

Orevelle wright(1871-1948)

wibur wright(1867-1912)


  • The Wright brothers, Orville and Wilbur were two American aviators, engineers, inventors, and aviation pioneers
  • who are generally credited with inventing, building, and flying the world's first successful airplane.
  • wright brothers are known as inventors of practical airplane
  • The history of first flight was made on Thursday , December 17,1903 in wind-swept sand dunes of kill devil hills
  • wright flyer is the name of  the airplane of wright of wright brothers that made history

                       SIR GEORGE CAYLEY(1773 – 1857)


  • first person to understand the underlying principles and forces of flight
  • sir george cayley was an English engineer, inventor, and aviator.
  • sir geroge cayley is known as true inventor of airplane
  • he is the first person to include the concept of fixed wing for generating lift and separated mechanism for propulsion and horizontal and vertical tail for stability
  • sir george cayley built the flew the world's first human carrying glider which is known as boy carrier

the sources of all aerodynamic forces

THE SOURCE OF ALL AERODYNAMIC FORCES A knowledge of four basic aerodynamics quantities (P, 𝞺,T and v ) at each point of the flow fully defines the flow field  The air flow over the surface of any body in the flow creates anaerodynamic force on the body the aerodynamic forces by the airflow on the surface of an airplane,missile,.....etc stems from only two natural sources                                         1. pressure distribution on the surface                                         2. shear stress distribution on the surface pressure exerted by the gas on the solid surface of the object always acts normal to the surface the net unbalance of the varying pressure distribution over the surface of airplane creates an aerodynamic force which is known as lift the s...

BUCKINGHAM'S PI THEOREM

BUCKINGHAM'S PI THEOREM  The  Buckingham  π  theorem  is a key  theorem  in  dimensional analysis . Buckingham ' s Pi theorem states that:    If there are n variables in a problem and these variables contain m primary dimensions (for example M, L, T) the equation relating all the variables will have (n-m) dimensionless groups.   Buckingham referred to these groups as π groups.   The final equation obtained is in the form of :                                                               π l = f(π 2 , π 3 ,….. π n-m )   The π groups must be independent of each other and no one group should be formed by multiplying together powers of other groups.   This method offers the advantage of being ...
