He is the first person to achieve sustained human flight using a jet-powered fixed wing strapped to his back. This jet pack has led to his being nicknamed Jet Man, Rocket Man and Fusion Man. Rossy developed and built a system comprising a back pack with semi-rigid aeroplane-type carbon-fiber wings with a span of about 2. 4 metres (7. 9 ft), powered by four attached jet engines modified from model aircraft engines. His first flight occurred in November 2006 in Bex, lasting nearly six minutes and nine seconds. Yves later successfully flew across the English Channel on 26 September 2008 in 9 minutes 7 seconds, reaching a speed of 299 km/h (186 mph) during the crossingLater in 2008, he made a flight over the Alps, reaching a top descent speed of 304 km/h (189 mph) and a top average speed of 124 mph. In November 2009, Rossy attempted a crossing of the Strait of Gibraltar, hoping to be the first person to fly between two continents using a jetpack. He leapt from a small plane about 1950 m (6500 ft) above Tangier in Morocco in the direction of Atlanterra in Spain. The flight was expected to take about a quarter of an hour but, due to strong winds and banks of cloud, Rossy …
(Kindle eBook) Bushwhack – www.amazon.com – a serial story of off trail hiking in the pacific northwest. 1944. The Third Reich. The United States airforce launches a campaign of precision daylight bombing missions on targets within Germany’s mighty industrial complex while the British Royal airforce concentrates on carpet-bombing German civilian targets during the night. On the ground, the allied advance continues eastward towards the heart of the Nazi war machine. Hidden in secret cashes around Berlin, invading allied troops discover vast amounts of war booty, pillaged and looted by the German Military from all over Europe. A United States airforce B-25 Mitchell bomber survives the anti aircraft fire and swarms of night-fighters in the skies over Germany and is sold to the Canadian military after World War 2. The twin-engine bomber is converted into a cargo plane by the Canadian airforce for the soul purpose of carrying valuable military cargo. Stationed just outside of Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, the B-25 now proudly shows the air force insignia of Canada on her wings. On the morning of the fifth of January, 1953, ground crews spot a highly sensitive cargo being secretly loaded by special personnel into the bomb bay of the B-25. They are strongly advised not to talk about what they witnessed. A flight plan is filed outlining the journey to Sea Island Airport, just outside of Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. The cargo manifest lists the cargo hold as empty, and the …
From the Bell X1 to the SR71 a high altitude pursuit. Watch in full screen your going flying. The World record for both speed and height by an air-breathing aircraft (not a rocket) was 85135 feet. It was set in an SR-71 Blackbird in 1976. The speed record is also held by an SR-71, at 2193 mph. This is not as high or as fast as the airplane can fly, however, it’s absolute speed and altitude limits are classified. Most US military aircraft can exceed 50000 feet, if they really really try. Again, the limits are classified. Most commercial jetliners cruise somewhere between 30000 and 45000 feet above mean sea level. At higher speeds and altitudes, there isn’t enough oxygen in the air to continuously burn the jet fuel required to stay up there. Engines designed to work very well that high, have serious limitations when they are operated closer to the surface. There are aircraft that have flown higher and faster (the X-15) but they really aren’t aircraft, they are rockets, because they carry their own source of oxygen, instead of using the air. However, the fastest and highest airplanes are the American SR-71 Blackbirds. As aircraft climb to higher altitudes, the air outside gets thinner. The actual equation for the change in pressure with altitude gives an exponential rather than linear decay. This is essentially because air is squash-able so is compressed together at lower altitudes. Therefore pressure is decreased more rapidly near the ground than at higher altitudes. It is …
bit.ly A flight Sim Pro is software that is intended to give the users the feeling of flying an actual aircraft. Today, there are a number of flight simulation games, which guarantee to give you the thrill of flying an actual airplane, while keeping you away from the risks involved in doing so. The civil and military aviation industries have been constantly using these systems to train pilots how to actually fly with different types of planes and how to act in different tricky situations. By having a simulator the pilot could develop skills in environment that cost less, and had minimal hazards. With the evolution of this type of software, actual aircraft flying is now available to anyone who wants to experience the thrill. Flight pro sim is one of the newest games, offering unmatched flight simulation experience. From normal play station games to state of the art home-built virtual cockpits, there is a simulator to suit everyone’s taste and pocket. You can invest on a good flight simulation game and build a real life like cockpit yourself. With the technology that is now available in the market and your boundless imagination, the sky is now not the limit. So, go on for it, grab a good game, design your own cockpit and enjoy flying!

Flying the U-2 “Dragon Lady” is a challenge at best. You treat her good, and she’ll act like a “Lady.” But let your attention slip just a little and that lady turns into a “Dragon.” And after a mission flying at the edge of space, one of the hardest parts still lies ahead; landing the Dragon Lady. With only two wheels, limited visibility due to wearing a space suit, and a plane that flies just above stall speed, landing is just as hard as flying it. But while you fly alone at 70000 feet, when you come down, your life is in the hands of one of your fellow pilots in a Pontiac as he drives 100+ mph next to you and calls out how high you are above the ground. 10 feet…7…5…3…2…1. Contact. And like that you’re back on the ground. Video created by WalterColby.com
