San Javier Airforce 0 Section A-1

Write a descriptive essay of an airplane (around 150 words). You have 20 minutes to do it. You cannot search the internet. Write it in a separate document and then copy and paste it here. Remember to write down your surname and name.


An airplane is a machine powered by engines that was first constructed by the Wright brothers in 20th century. An airplane usually is usually composed of some esential parts. 


First of all, a body of an airplane is needed to carry either passengers or cargo depending on the type of plane. The cabin is found most of the times at the front of the plane. The cabin is the room where pilots and other personnel, who are in charge of the vehicle, are placed. Next, airplanes always carry also wings that vary from long, big wings to small and more aerodynamical wings like jet airplanes. 


At the back, airplanes also have a tail that provides the machine the capability to manouver. Most of the times, wheels are disposed under the body but there also exist planes that do not have them because they land on water. Other parts that a plane could carry could be guns, extra engines, etc

We could start by looking at the word airplane. It is formed by the the two words: air and plane, althought plane now means the same, I guess if we were learning english, one could think of a "flat surface" (plane) that flies in the "air" . The flat surface would be the wings. 

I think everybody get astonished when seeing an airplane fly. Now I want to describe one of the planes that most intrigue me: the CASA C101. The spanish air force military training airplane. It is an spanish made jet, with fighting capabilities, conceived to train the future spanish air force pilots. There are multiple locations where we can find this plane around the national territory, but where it develops its main function is in the AGA (Academia General del Aire) in San Javier. It's shame it is in the end of its functional live, and it will be retired before I will be able to try it. It will be replaced by the swiss Pillatus. Also a training plane.

Airplanes are one of the most amazing means of transport that have been developed up to our current times. They include all the facilities of any conventional transport, except for the fact they are way faster than the rest.
 

            On the one hand, if we are talking about planes used to transport people , they usually have the ability to transport many passengers at once. Indeed, if they carry out international flights they would allow you as a passenger to travel huge distances within a really small period of time. That’s one of the main reasons of why planes are considered to be so fascinating nowadays.

            

            On the other hand, if we focus more on the technical aspects of planes, we will see that every single piece that builds up this huge machines have a high complexity level of comprehension in order to study them. 


To sum up, planes are not only popular due to all the fascinating mechanisms they have, but also because of all the facilities they have brought to out modern society.

 Airplanes are one of the best inventions of humanity and they are nowadays the best way to travel all around the world.

 

Generally, we can divide an airplane in two big parts, the cockpit which is the part where the pilots go in and inside it we can find the controls. The second big part is the fuselage, a wide section where the rest of people travel. In the sides of the fuselage we can find the wings, one of the most important parts which is formed by flaps and aileron and have a crucial role in takeoffs and landings.

 

All planes can fly due to the engines, which are very expensive and are located in different parts depending on the type of the aircraft. This part is fundamental for the flight because it is the responsible of the power of planes and this is the reason why mechanics have to do taught revisions.

An airplane is a machine invented to be able to fly. The initial goal was to fly, however nowadays is used for many functions. 

It is necessary to take into account that it has been used for violent activities, for example they could take photos from their enemy, transport arms in short periods of time, and moreover, they were able to attack from the air with bombs. Nowadays, it is used to transport merchandise and people among other things. The plain has built bridges between countries and continents, helping the development of globalization. Nevertheless, it is a means of transport that not many people have access to it.

To end, I think that the plan has evolved so much, it was and object made of wood and currently the mechanics try to build on lightweight materials, as plastics. In my personal opinion, I think that it is the best means of transport and gives you high level of commodity a security.

Aviation 

Some people might think that an airplane is just a machine, a brilliant humankind invention, or even just a means of transport. Personally I think it is much more than that, it is true that it is also a machine and a very complex invention, but it goes further than that. When you take off for your first time in your life you immediately understand that the aeronautical world is also about sensations and feelings. It is difficult to get your head around the fact that a 50-tonnes, 60-meters-long metal giant is capable of floating in the air, and not only that, it is also capable of cruising the air at amazing speeds up to 1200 kilometers per hour.

But this beautiful world isn’t only about feelings and mouth-opening gigantic planes flying over our heads, it has a lot of effort and sacrifice behind it. Normally the first reaction to a perfectly uniformed pilot walking into an airplane walking into an A330 is: “How lucky, I wish I was there!”. But there are hundreds of hours of study, thousands of hours away from home and family and not so many hours of sleep. And it is all that passion given to the beautiful world of aviation which makes it so mesmerizing.

 Whereas the whole aviation industry has been evolving, we the europeans felt the need to catch up with our friends the Chineses, Russians or the Americans. The world of fighter planes has jumped into the 5th generation with models like the American F22 Raptor or F35 Lightning, the Russian MiG-35 PAK-FA or the Chinese J-20 and we have released the Eurofighter as a try to compete with these models. 


These plane is quite different to other fighter planes we are used to see because it has two main things that makes it uncommon, delta-type wings and two frontal spoilers which give to the plane a huge capacity of maneuvering, very similar to the Russian planes. 

Apart from the amazing maneuverability it has also an hyper powerful engine which can make the plane reach velocities near Mach 2, these means the plane can fly at a speed that is two times the speed of the sound (Approximately 1235 km per hour). 

 Finally, other input the Eurofighter is known for it is its modern in-flight computers and the new helmets which are compatible with sensors that recognize if the pilot is looking forward or not so as to send him the proper information according with the moment of the flight. 


In conclusion, the Eurofighter is an amazing machine and personally I am very proud that our Air Force can count with them.

When it comes to airplanes, there are lots of different types according to its shape, capacities and purposes. The plane I like most is the C-101, which is the one used by the “Patrulla Águila” of the Spanish Air Force.

This model is well-known for its aerodinamic design, which can be noticed by the brightness and smoothness it shows while flying. It is made of a light kind of metal, so it has the perfect balance between  weight and power.

This “metallic bird” is the one that people in 4º grade of the Air Force Academy use, so one of its main characteristics is the intuitive controls it has. Despite the age of this plane, it still continues giving an exceptional level in terms off light, and its a pity the fact that ir is going to be changed in two years by the Pillatus, due to the fact that I would have loved to be able to sit and control this marvelous beast.

Airplanes are machines that have the ability of flying. In the spanish air force we use them in order to protect our aerial space. These airplanes are very expensive due to their complexity and to the materials that compounds them.

They have several parts like wings, that give them stability, motor engines, which give it the potence to fly or its bottom that is used to directionate the plane. There are lot of different types of airplane which different functions, since throwing water to fires to destroying enemies airplanes. 

Airplanes are like big birds which goes through protecting and serving us so they are essential in the task of protecting the society and also giving help in some places like poor countries.

An aeroplane is a machine which was invented by the “Wright Brothers”.Aeroplanes have become very common these days, they connect most of the cities or countries in the world. There are more than a hundred of aeroplane companies.

It is mainly of two different types, the militar and the civil aeroplanes. The first type is used to carry people or objects instead within the country and from one country to another.

The second type of the plane could be used for dyfferent types of objectives. For example they are used to carry soldiers or ammunition, or to rescue people who is trapped, or in a war, they are used as weapons, throwing bombs and stuff like that.

So the plane has been a great benefit to he world, allowing us to move everywhere in the world without any complication. But is true that the prices changes depending on the distance, although it is much cheaper than if you go by car or bus, and is faster.

Nowadays, international flights are very common in our society. Obviously airplanes play an important role. Without that machines, we wouldn’t be able to travel around the world.


An airplane is a powered heavier-than-air vehicle with fixed wings. This first fact is very important, because if the airplane wasn’t heavier than air, it wouldn’t be able to fly. Another part that is very important in this vehicle are the wheels, they must have the correct pressure. If not, the security of the tripulación would be in danger. 


To conclude, I consider that airplanes are the most important and complex vehicles in the world. They allow us to travel anywhere in the world in hours. Without the shadow of a doubt, I’d say that these vehicles are the future of mobility.

Airplanes, a common obsession in here. Most of us have dreamt about them since we can remember and it’s not a secret, we have all been raising our heads almost all our life just after hearing to an airplane.

Fantastic machines that reflect perfectly ambition as well as elegance. Those feelings of freedom, peacefulness, breathtaking situations while flying make them capable of leaving no one unsurprised after their appearance. Furthermore, not only their function but also their symbolism encourages me to say that airplanes are one of the most important and revolutionary inventions of humanity. They are the representation of the technological evolution, the entire world requires the services that airplanes provide us such as transportation of people, goods delivery, security and defense, rescue and thousand more activities they do every day and we don’t even realize it.

So concluding, we can affirm that planes have arrived at a certain level of importance in our lives that no one could imagine live without them. Just think about the daily limitations we would have to face in the hypothetical case of not having them to make our life easier.

Just impossible.

 Airplanes are a relatively new invention, people have been using them for long journeys for less than a hundred years. They have made world communication much easier.

On the one hand, they were a key point in communications years ago when letters must be sent the quickest possible. They also help now when packages are sent to other continents. It is also very cheap nowadays to take a flight, almost anyone can pay for it.


On the other hand, they are not the most efficient transport and contribute a lot to the pollution of the world. Years ago it was very expensive and only rich people could use it. In addition they are generally very noisy and that is problematic when flying above cities.


In conclusion, they are great machines and have helped humanity for years. However they are going to be outdated in some years if another method of propulsion is not found.

The aim of this essay is to try to make a general overview of what an airplane is and to answer why it has become so important in our lives over the last few decades. 
In the first place, the age of this magnificent invent has to be remarked. Planes are not older than 100 years old, which gives us an idea of how incredible the quick advances have been. 
Technology has improved our daily lives and planes contribute to this fact. 
This object allows us to reach far away places in just a few hours. Places that in the past where only reachable after long and exhausting trips. 
They are formed of two main parts. On the one hand the body of the plane. Where the pilot and the passengers are located. On the other hand we have the wings, which are responsible for its capability of flying due to differences of air pressure in both sides of the wing.
All in all, it’s undoubtedly one of the most innovative inventions of last centuries. And I am sure, it is going to continue being an essential part of our lives.

Since the begining of civilization, humans have dreamed of reaching the sky and sail it like an eagle. Centuries after that, some inventors like Leonardo Da Vinci created early prototypes of what later will became the first airplane, an object made to fly with the aid of a human.

An airplane has a lot of components and pieces, however it can be described easily saying that a physical principle is what lies under that huge piece of metal or other more sophisticated materials and components. I am talking about Venturi effect which can be explained with the difference of pressures on both sides of the airplain.


Finally, it is necessary to remark that a description from an engineering point of view would be more precise, however it is important to have always in mind the physics which make humans capable of reach the sky.

In the past many people tried to create a machine that allow them to fly above the earth. One of the inventors that worked on it was Leonardo da Vinci, unfortunately he could not reach his aim and the airplane had to wait for many decades to be invented.

Nowadays technology and science is in constant progress, obviously airplanes are also being improved all the time. An average plane has two wings, a front cabin where the pilot has the control of the plane and some turbines that allow the plane to land off.

There are many models of airplanes because they can have many uses, for example, they can transport persons or materials between countries, they can be used just for fun or they can have a military use.

In conclusion airplanes are for sure one of the most important transport on these days.

 There are many types of planes, which can be classified depending on their function; fighters, others for transport of people or material, there are also others that are used for teaching new pilots how to flight... Today I am going to focused on the C101, the plane used by the students of the Spanish Airforce Academy to learn the basic concepts of flight. 


It has two cabins, one at the back for the teacher and the front one for the future professional pilot. The two cabins have exactly the same controls, it has been designed this way in case the teacher has to take full control of the machine. 


Talking about the exterior part of the plane, we can see it’s characteristic red colour, but it also has some silver coloured parts.


Another point to take into account when talking about this is aircraft is that is used by the Spanish Eagle Patrol for its shows.
