Recent improvements in information and armoured fighting vehicles (AFV) technologies have introduced new directions in development of electronic devices for vehicle control and a new tactical approach for the use of AFVs in battlefields. Vetronics (Vehicle electronics) is becoming a key feature of both new AFV developments and upgrades of existing vehicles. In general, the architecture of the vetronics system includes some of functional subsystems [1]: i. fire control system; ii. vehicle control; iii. active suspension; iv.
• Airfoils are connected using balsa support rods. • The structure is partially covered with 1mm sheet balsa throughout the wing span (near the leading edge). • Ailerons are also made in the similar way. • Both the wings and ailerons are covered with heat shrink covering film. ADVANTAGES Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV), as a flexible aerial photography platform, have been widely used in many applications, such as agriculture, water conservation, mapping, 3D reconstruction, and disaster relief.
CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV), also commonly known as drone is either an autonomous or remote controlled state-of-the-art aerial flying vehicle without a human onboard. During the recent years, small scale UAVs are increasingly gaining attention due to the fact that they are highly agile, capable and maneuverable apart from being cheap and can be constructed using easily available parts. Hobbyists and researchers use them as advanced and versatile platforms to implement and test new ideas in a number of different fields including, but not limited to robotics, intelligence, control systems, navigation and real-time systems. There has been a tremendous rise towards the work of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles in the recent years.
1. INTRODUCTION This report, focusing on the Atlas V (spoken Atlas five) rocket, a launch system designed to send payloads into orbit of the Earth and beyond [2], will outline the following in specific detail: • The original design mission of the Atlas V launch system • The structural design and construction of the Atlas V launch system • Unique aerodynamic features of the Atlas V launch system • The propulsion systems contained within the stages of the Atlas V launch system • The operation requirements of the Atlas V launch system • The safety features and safety record of the Atlas V launch system The Atlas V was chosen as the focus of this report for two specific reasons. Firstly, the combination of Russian and United States technology,
That means that in order for the ice to melt, it needs to absorb even more energy. Once salt is added to the ice, it makes the ice colder, allowing it to freeze. Additionally, large crystals of salt are used because it takes more time for larger pieces of salt to dissolve in the water, which allows the ice cream to cool even more. In this experiment, the way to see and determine the freezing point depression is by measuring the temperature of the ice in the gallon bag before salt is added and to measure the temperature of the ice and salt once the ice cream is formed in the quart bag. By having these two measurements of temperature before and after the salt was added, shows the freezing point depression and how it works once salt is added to the
An experimental X-band, high-frequency transmitter was included within the electronics package, which was the first of its kind to be sent into space [2]. Also included was an imaging system, infrared radiometer, UV airglow spectrometer, UV occultation spectrometer, two magnetometers, a charged-particle telescope, plasma analyzer, and low gain antenna [2]. All this equipment was powered by two solar panels. It was propelled into orbit on a hydrogen fueled Atlas-Centaur rocket [1]. Once in orbit, the probe used nitrogen gas jets to keep itself stabilized along with a suite of navigation tools, such as the Canopus star tracker, to keep the probe on the correct path to Venus and then Mercury [2].
Based off of my personal experiences with this icebreaker activity, both the instructor and the class tends to learn a lot about each individual student as a person, specifically due to the questions asked. Additionally, compared to introducing oneself, this activity provides some comfort because introducing and sharing facts about someone else is less stressful than doing the same for yourself. Furthermore, the exit ticket activity allows for a fun way to get everyone in the class acquainted by having students recall a specific classmate and their fact, and helps ensure that students were paying attention. While I admit that this activity is not one of the most exciting icebreaker activities, it can be one of the most impactful simply due to the inconspicuous and intentional steps it takes to create a classroom community. Because of this, I plan on implementing this specific icebreaker activity in the future, with the hopes of creating the sense of classroom community and familiarity between my students and
They also thought due to their physical characteristics, they could not be good aviators. The definition of Aviation is the flying and/or operating of an aircraft. In Howard Zinn’s book A People's History Of The United States, he explains a reason for racism shown against Japan before Pearl Harbor. He says, “Hatred against the enemy, against the Japanese, particularly, became widespread. Racism was clearly at work.
