Aerospace Facts

Aircraft don’t really exactly know their altitude. They fly at a pressure, that is indicated as an altitude via equations in the Standard Atmosphere. What is the altitude of a plane in flight? When flying a plane, the pilot needs to know exactly how high above the earth the plane is traveling, a measurement that is called altitude. Types of Altitude: Indicated Altitude Let's start with the easiest - indicated altitude is simply the altitude you read directly off your altimeter. If uncorrected for pressure changes, your altimeter won't be very useful. True Altitude True altitude refers to the height of an aircraft above sea level. This type of altitude is measured in terms of “feet above mean sea level". Pressure Altitude Pressure altitude is a measurement of the aircraft’s altitude above a standard datum plane Pressure altitude is also used in many flight planning calculations, including determining takeoff and landing distances. Density Altitude Density altitude is pressu...

The First Question comes in our mind,  The Man Who built Eiffel Tower,  How he has became a Pioneer in Experimental Aerodynamics?  So lets start to answer the question and some  Aerospace  Facts. Who Was Gustave Eiffel? Gustave Eiffel was a French engineer who designed and oversaw construction of the Eiffel Tower. Alexandre-Gustave Eiffel was born in Dijon, France on December 15, 1832.he attended the École Polytechnique (Polytechnic School) and later the École Centrale des Arts et Manufactures (College of Art and Manufacturing) in Paris, graduating in 1855. Short Information about Eiffel Tower:  Eiffel is most famous for what would become known as the Eiffel Tower. The work started in 1887 for the 1889 Universal Exposition in Paris. The tower is composed of 12,000 different components and 2,500,000 rivets, all designed and assembled to handle wind pressure. How he has became a Pioneer in Experimental Aerodynamics: The most used term Aerodynam...
