		<description><![CDATA[Airplane tires are a subject that I have never really thought about until just lately when my eight years old granddaughter asked what would happen if an airplane got a flat tire. I told her that I did not think that they could. Until I looked into it, I did not know just how close to right I came. The airplane tire is an amazing design of technology. It has to withstand extreme centrifugal force; it must bear the weight of the aircraft and absorb the shock of that weight when landing. The average Boeing 747 commercial passenger jet weighs approximately 180 tons or 360,000 lbs. That is a lot of weight to drop on a tire moving over a hundred miles per hour.

Aircraft tires have to have excellent traction while maintaining support under extreme weight. However, unlike a car tire, an airplane tire will not experience a high volume of rotation in its lifetime. This adds to the longevity of the tire. An airplane tire will obviously have to have some flexibility however; the flex factor is not as great as on a regular vehicle tire. This is because airplane tires only flex on landing.

Most standard airplane tires are a pneumatic tire, which means that the tire uses air and inflates. Airplane tires use some measure or air although not for the same reason a car tire would. A car runs pneumatic tires to help ensure a smooth ride and increase the mileage. Airplanes use it merely as an shock absorption when touching down. They perform in conjunction with the systems shock absorbers.

The airplane tire is made up of bead cords that are tightly wrapped with a carcass with its ends turned at an upwards angle that matches the body or fuselage of the planes angle. There is another row of corded beads that are wrapped in the opposite direction and these layers continue throughout the construction of the tire. An extremely durable and strong rubber material is used. The high modus cords are entwined into the rubber at a ratio of 6 for every 28 per inch making it very dense and yet pliable enough to give when it hits the runway at one hundred and fifty miles per hour which is the speed that a plane the size of a 747 must travel when it touches down.

Since we have used the 747 as an example, we will continue to describe how the landing gear plays its part in protecting the wheels and placing them for landing. The landing gear is retractable on this type of aircraft including the smaller wheels in the front of the plane making it a tri-touchdown point, wheeled aircraft. The nose wheel assembly is exactly like the four sets of shock absorbing main wheels except they are slightly smaller. There are a total of 18 wheels counting the two nose-cone wheels, which are only used for weight bearing to keep the nose of the plane off the ground. They are positioned side by side and are separated by a small axel and cover. There are four sets of four wheels. Two sets in a cluster of four each under the wings and two sets again clustered in fours, side by side under the fuselage. They all retract into the plane to reduce drag during flight. The front wheels also retract although they are positioned so that they do not present themselves as drag.

The majority of all landing gear work through hydraulics but can be cranked up and down manually in the unlikely event of hydraulic system failure. While the smaller wheel can be physically turned left or right from the cockpit to steer the taxiing aircraft, the actual "steering" is done by applying the brakes on one side or the other causing the plane to turn in the opposite direction.

When you arrive at London's Heathrow Airport, you will need wheels to take you home, to take you to your hotel, or to take you to the great tourist attractions in London. Except the wheels you need will be attached to a vehicle. The best place to find reliable wheels with great customer service in London is Leading Route Cars. They are friendly and reliable and the drivers really know London. You can find Leading Route Cars online at http://www.leadingroutecars.com. Give them a call and you will find that you will be very happy that you did.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[People have different preferences when it comes to travelling. Some would prefer to ride in their own vehicles while others love to navigate the sea. But if there is one mode of transportation that most people would love to experience, it is to ride those high-flying airplanes. It is a fact that not everybody is given the chance to experience it that makes the flight very appealing to most people. Most people prefer business class flight, or what they prefer to call as luxury flight, rather than the coach type. It is different from that first class but it could also give you the different facilities and services for more a reasonable price.

To be able to have a business class flight will make you feel as if you are a very important passenger of the airplane. It includes better amenities offered to passengers that will surely make them more comfortable while traveling. The common misconception of most people who are opting this kind of flight is that it is just a waste of their money when they can save by just preferring to ride the coach type. The business class will give you more comfort by providing you better seats and lots of those personal assistances and privileges that you cannot simply find in other type of flights.

Opting on this kind of flight is just like imagining you are also experiencing a first class flight you wanted so badly. Most people want to experience being treated special, where they could enjoy their own private space with great meals that are being served to them. These things are what most people think when they ride in a first class. But with the availability of the business class, people will now have other options to enjoy a great travel and services at the same time.

Deciding which class flight to choose is not that hard to do when you already have an idea what to expect from these different flights. Traveling is a wonderful experience but it could also be a stressful one. Moreover, to have that kind of ride where you can be comfortable and fascinated with your travel, you need to make a serious consideration when choosing the kind of flight that would be perfect for you. It would be a simple task for you to do if you really want to have that perfect vacation and tour you're waiting for.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Strange to say but once you have mastered the basics of building a model airplane and have a few spare bits lying around your workshop or garage it becomes very easy to produce your very own design of RC model airplane.  Simple Plastic Airplane Design (SPAD) is really cheap and fun alternative to constructing expensive remote controlled model airplanes kits.

The concept of SPAD started in the late 90's and has evolved into a highly detailed and solid method for building RC model airplanes. While using traditional building materials and techniques can take weeks or months to put an airplane together, applying the SPAD concept can reduce the build time down to days, or even hours.

SPAD materials are widely available and are less expensive than those used in standard balsa model airplane kits. Plans and help for building a SPAD can be found online and are completely free. The best part about flying a SPAD is its survivability when it comes to the inevitable crashes as your enthusiasm gets away from you!

The basic RC model airplane SPAD concept revolves around using inexpensive building materials that can be found at local hardware stores and sign shops - or even picked up for nothing from builders cast-offs.  While the materials required for constructing a SPAD vary from one design to another, the basic materials used include; PCV downspout pipe for the fuselage, CoroPlast(corrugated platic) sign material for the wings and controls surfaces, HDPE cutting boards for firewalls and landing gear blocks, and CA (superglue) to hold everything together.

Because of the simplicity involved in putting a SPAD RC model airplane together, even an inexperienced modeler can complete the job in a single weekend. A basic fuselage made from PVC downspout can be made in a matter of minutes, CoroPlast wings and control surfaces in just a few hours, and all the miscellaneous parts to complete the project in just a few hours more. Acquiring the materials needed for a RC model airplane SPAD project may require no more than a trip to the local hardware store and a few phone calls to local sign shops.

Aside from these readily available materials, there are a few other items that you will need; self tapping sheet metal screws, zip ties, a utility knife and a few wood sticks(4mmx27mmx1m Pine lathing/lattice). Other items needed to complete your RC model airplane, such as wheels, landing gear and control arms, will need to be fabricated or purchased from your favorite hobby store.

Plans for building a SPAD RC model airplane are available online, free of charge, from many different sources. SpadToTheBone.com, the original home for the RC model airplane SPAD concept, has plans to suit just about anyone. From the ever popular trainer called the Debonair, to the more sophisticated Coro Edge 540 sport/funfly model. A community has been built around the RC model airplane SPAD concept at SpadWorld.net where model builders from all over the globe help each other learn better and more exciting ways to make SPADs.

One of the greatest benefits to building with the RC model airplane SPAD materials is just how tough they are. Whether you're trying a new aerobatic maneuver and just can't seem to pull out of it, or just learning to take off for the first time and cartwheel your airplane down the runway, the chances that your plane will survive are very good. Compared to easily breakable balsa, plastic is a very forgiving material that can survive higher impact speeds without damage - and is easily fixed when broken.

Ease of construction, low cost and survivability all add up to a package that encourages modellers to experiment with design concepts and methods that extend the envelope of their experience and knowledge.  Why not give it a go yourself?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Model airplane building has been around for a long time. Leonardo DaVinci made sketches of aircraft before they were ever invented. Man has tried to simulate flight by watching the birds and many early airplanes were made similar to bird wings but did not have the proper lift to make them successful. It is from the bird wing that we get the aerodynamics for lift in the wings of modern airplanes and helicopters. As the design and innovation increased, small airplanes made out of paper became successful and helped to launch more experimentation. The Wright brothers took it to the next level and added engines on static wings for the first flight of heaver-than-air airplanes.

As the technology got better, so did the materials to make the airplanes. The engines developed first with gasoline and then to nitromethane fuel that fueled glow plug engines. Nitromethane fuel contains methanol (a type of alcohol), oil, and usually nitromethane. Different combinations are used for different engines and are mixed by manufacturers or enthusiastic model aircraft builders.

Model aircraft are built from light weight materials; usually from balsa wood, paper and glue. There are many different ways to go about building your own airplane. There are kits that have all the materials pre-cut with instructions (some items don't come with the kit but they are noted on the box) and with several hours (practice makes it easier and more rewarding) you end up with your airplane. These are called Almost Ready-to-Fly (or ARF) airplanes. There are also Ready-to-Fly (RTF) airplanes that are pre-assembled except for attaching the wing to the fuselage and charging the batteries. They come painted and are easy to snap together. With these you can be off the ground very quickly with your field equipment such as fuel, glow plug battery and attachment, starter (a hand held device to turn the engine but you can be adventuresome and use a "chicken-stick") and spare parts.

All RC airplanes need the receiver and batteries along with the throttle, rudder and elevator servos installed into a servo tray that is securely glued into the fuselage near the wings. The radio channels operate the functions of the airplane. The more channels (there is a minimum of two: power and rudder) you have the more aerobatics can be performed with the airplane. Some exotic (advanced) models have retractable landing gear, smoke maker and other items that the novice would not need.

Almost all RC modelers will agree that making your airplane and flying it is very exciting and addictive. There is a thrill of making something yourself with time, effort and patience that can be rewarded by taking it out to a field and flying it. And with today's modern plastics that are lightweight are also almost indestructible. This is very helpful for the novice; it takes a lot of practice (and crashes) to learn the art of flying your own airplane. As your skill increases, your desire to make and fly more advanced RC airplanes also increases.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Want to add a special touch to a room in your home? Maybe you are planning an event, setting up a display for a school or a library or just have the urge to do something new. How about expressing your creative aspirations with kites? The kite has become a respectable new member in the world of design. Kites have been used to decorate homes, doctor offices, clinics, libraries, classrooms, aquariums, lobbies, and a whole host of events. It is literally true that the sky is the limit.

In several healing centers kites have been used to brighten up the space for the patients. This year students and faculty at San Diego State University created the (1) "Visual Therapy Sky Mural". Student Lauren Holland spent long hours in the SDSU Fitness Clinic receiving therapy. The room was so dull and uninviting that Lauren dreamed of creating something wonderful for future patients to be surrounded by. The idea for the "Visual Therapy Sky Mural" began to blossom in her mind.

The Faculty/Student Mentoring Program in the College of Arts and letters took the project on. Professor Iisdro D. Ortiz Ph.D. helped to raise funds and a whole host of volunteers joined in to help with the project. The "Visual Therapy Sky Mural" is a childs dream-scape of a Pacific sky and sandy beach that runs the length of the 26-foot ceiling and continues onto the side wall. The ceiling is adorned with a beautiful arrangement of butterfly kites, ship kites and airplane kites that complement the mural. The results are stunning.

School teachers and librarians are using kites for special projects and displays. This year insects, butterflies and birds have been big hits. The kites make teaching and learning fun.

Aquariums use a variety of fish kites to highlight their themes. Imagine numerous Angel Fish Kites, Orca Whale Kites, Dolphin Kites, and even Octopus Kites decorating a major aquarium lobby. It really is impressive.

Grocery stores have even used kites as decoration. Hand painted Bali Butterfly Kites are stunning when used as wall art. Customers love to have the added touch of color during their shopping experience. The Bali Butterfly kites are available in several colors and the wing spans up to seven feet.

Are you planning a birthday party for a child? Little boys are wild about the pirate ship kite, the F-16 kite, the Red Baron kite and the ever popular Kitty Hawk kite. When the party is over, use the kite to decorate their room. You will be a hit for years to come. Miniature kites make great favors for kids of any age and make for wonderful entertainment.

If you are decorating your home, office, school or event, be sure to explore the possibility of using kites as art.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Many people have deep rooted fears of flying. Some people even refuse to ever put a foot on a jet plane and instead choose to drive very long distances instead if they have to be somewhere. The ironic thing about avoiding flying on a large plane is that you are statistically far more likely to die in a car accident, especially if you are travelling great distances in short amounts of time as when traveling. The only time when fear of flying is actually rational is when flying in small aircrafts.

While it is very unlikely that you will be in an accident while traveling on a large plane, if you frequently take out or ride in small aircrafts, the likelihood of a serious injury or death is relatively large. Because operating a small aircraft is so inherently dangerous, only the most astute pilots should do it. The slightest error on the part of a pilot can lead to a deadly crash. The most common cause of airplane accidents are pilot error and a pilot who engages in negligent behavior that results in a plane crash can be sued in a personal injury lawsuit for injury or wrongful death if a passenger is hurt, or if, in the case of a airplane on airplane collision, anyone in the opposing aircraft is injured or killed.

Why Airplane Accidents Happen

The most common reasons for airplane crashes resulting in serious injury or death include:

• Pilot error-this includes bad decision making on the part of the pilot when it comes to things such as bad weather, landing or checking for air traffic 
• Faulty equipment-it is up to the owner of the plane to ensure that the equipment on the plane is up to part before it is taken out 
• Violations of FAA regulations-these regulations are in place to keep everyone in the air and on the ground safe and should be followed very closely 
• Design or structural problems-this is often a problem with plane owners who choose to fix their own planes or built their own planes rather than hiring a professional 
• Air traffic controller error 
• Third party carrier negligence 
• Maintenance or repair negligence 
• Fueling error

		<description><![CDATA[Throughout the history of Piper Aircraft Inc., just about 144,000 aircraft have been manufactured. Of that number, just about 35,000 were manufactured under the Piper Cub line, albeit in various models. The very first was simply known as the Piper J2 Cub, which was built between 1937 and 1947. This plane went on to be one of the best sellers of all time in the single engine light aircraft industry.

The Piper Cub aircraft had its first flight in 1938. Prior to that, it was known as the Taylor E2 Cub, manufactured by Taylor Aircraft in 1930. The manufacture of the Taylor E2 Cub was sponsored by William T. Piper to be an affordable aircraft that helped spark interest in aviation. Unfortunately, Taylor Aircraft went bankrupt in 1930, thereafter being bought out by Piper. At that point, Piper changed the name to the Piper J2 Cub after it received some minor alterations. Prior to a fire in 1938 that burned down the Piper factory, about 1200 of this aircraft were made. When the company moved to a new location, the J2 was modified and re-branded as the Piper J3 Cub.

This small light aircraft was originally intended for flight training. However, everybody including Piper himself was surprised at the fact that it became one of the most popular light aircraft in history. With the standard yellow paint as its signature, just under 20,000 of the J3 Cub were built. The Piper Cub airplane also etched its place in history because it participated in World War II on behalf of the Civilian Pilot Training Program in the USA. It became even more popular when First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt took flight in the J3 Cub for publicity photos during the war.

In terms of specifications, the Piper Cub is 22' 5" long and 6' 8" high. Its maximum speed is 76 knots while its maximum cruise speed is 65 knots. The maximum weight of this aircraft is 1220 pounds, and it can reach a service ceiling of 11,500 feet. Being a one pilot, one passenger aircraft allowed it to be suitable for flight training and other light aircraft needs. And although this aircraft was so small and light, it was able to effectively stand out against other light aircraft that were somewhat heavier and carried more room.

The Piper Cub aircraft is one that will forever stand out in the history of general aviation because of its physical features as well as its effectiveness as a light aircraft. The role it played in American history will also be remembered because it enabled the American air force to successfully participate in World War II by being one of their light aircraft of choice.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Study hall can be a real torture chamber. The study hall monitor is usually some low level employee that likes nothing more than ruling the room with an iron fist. That's where building paper airplanes comes in. If you do it right, you can fly your airplane all the way across study hall when the monitor's back is turned and no one will know it was you.

Here's a quick guide to making sturdy paper airplanes to launch in study hall or any other boring setting.

Selecting Your Paper

You'd think the thickest heaviest paper would be the best for making a good sturdy paper plane, but that's not true. You want a paper that is light enough to fly without too much effort and easy enough to fold without using a book to weight the plane down.

That's why I recommend standard 8 1/2 by 11 inch paper. Once you become more of an origami expert you can experiment with card stock and harder materials, but until then stick to regular printer paper.

Selecting Your Airplane Style

Eventually you'll be able to fold fancy plane designs that do tricks or move in funny ways, but for building sturdy paper airplanes for study hall, stick to the fastest fold that produces the best result. The basic design--a piece of paper folded in half lengthwise with two small triangle flaps to form the nose will fly, but with a few tweaks it can really soar.

Launching Your Design

A light touch is best when tossing a traditional sturdy airplane design. You're not launching the plane so much as holding it gently and letting it go. Use the motion of your hand to give your airplane creation a little bit of lift. Too much forward momentum will send the plan straight into the ground. Even the best and sturdiest paper aeroplane will make you look like a loser if it crashes immediately into the ground.

Choosing the Right Moment

Knowing how to make sturdy paper airplanes in study hall is about more than building a sturdy design. You have to pick your time of attack for the best results. Wait until the study hall monitor isn't looking and when your friends least expect you to send the plane into the air. That way you surprise everyone, and can sit back and bask in the glory of your awesome flying design without fear of getting caught.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Emma is having a very bad year. It seems like all kinds of things have gone wrong for her over the past 12 months.

Her sales numbers at work dropped significantly, so she's been trying to turn that around. In the meantime, her oldest daughter has become a teenager in full force. She has started dating and it seems like this daughter requires more supervision than she did when she was a toddler!

To top off all of this stress, Emma's husband has been very distant for the past month or more. He is almost unbearable to be around and there are days when Emma questions why they are still married. She is beginning to wonder if he is having an affair.

It wasn't always this way and Emma yearns for the early days of their marriage when she and her husband couldn't get enough of one another...

Even if you feel like you are having a pretty great-- or even an okay-- year, you can still wake up one day and realize that your relationship is headed in a direction that you do not want it to go.

Whether you are married or not, your partner and you may have unintentionally put your relationship on autopilot. This is one very common way that couples accidentally "screw up" their love relationship or marriage.

As you probably already know, when an actual airline pilot puts the airplane in autopilot mode, depending on the settings, a computer will then temporarily control key systems on the airplane. The invention of this technology has certainly been an improvement for the field of aviation.

However, putting your relationship on autopilot will only bring decline and possible disaster for you and your mate!

When you put your relationship on autopilot, you ostensibly "check out" and stop paying as close attention to one another and to yourself. Habits that drive a wedge between you and your partner are allowed to grow, become bigger and end up more difficult to deal with.

If you realize that you have put your own relationship on autopilot, here's what you can do to avoid or repair distance and disconnection...

*Pay attention to you.

To turn things around, you need to wake up and take back control. (This is NOT the same as being controlling, by the way.) Tune in to yourself regularly and notice the places where you feel you are building resentment, irritation, dissatisfaction and maybe even neglect.

Don't put responsibility for disconnecting habits totally on your partner's shoulders. Instead, look at the ways that you help perpetuate them and then take a first step in trying to find solutions that both of you can be satisfied with.

Make it your intention to be fully present in your relationship-- just as you probably want to be in your career, for example.

*Pay attention to your partner.

Be sure to tune in to your mate as well. Stop multi-tasking every time that you two are together and really listen to what he or she has to say. Even if your partner is talking about something mundane or seemingly insignificant, set aside some time when you can fully engage with him or her.

When tensions arise, try to stay open to what your partner wants. While it's not a wise idea to automatically agree to whatever he or she would like, it is almost always beneficial to keep your mind open and consider all possibilities to a challenge that arises-- even if you are initially uncomfortable with it.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It's been a while, but I've been busy doing what we all love and had to take some time off from writing (ok, you caught me, I've also had a bit of writers block). However, I found the best cure to writers block in an airline-related site is to get back on the line. Inspiration is EVERYWHERE when working. As I spent my first day on a jet, it struck me like a brick. I dealt with a multitude of passengers (some happy and some angry). So I decided to dedicate this one to those unhappy people by giving them some incite from a flight attendant point of view.

· Our craziest points of flight are boarding and preparing the cabin for landing. When you board, we have about a million things we need to do to get that door closed and make it possible to get the plane in the air. Unless you're sitting in First or Business Class, where most airlines have a dedicated FA for taking care of them, we don't have time have time for specific requests. Your requests for a glass of water, soda, etc only serve to distract us and reduce our chances of getting you in the air and getting you to your destination on time. We're only asking you for a minimal amount of patience on this one. Once we're in the air, we're at your complete disposal. I don't think a few minutes of patience is too much to ask. During the landing process, we only have a small window to get the cabin ready to land. If all pieces don't fall into place, the plane is forbidden to land by FAA standards. So don't ask for beverages during that time and forget about using the lav. We can't land the jet until all passengers are securely in your seats. I've been on planes going into O'Hare where one passenger decided to get up to use the lav during "sterile" and we had to abort the landing. We lost our place in line and it took another 45 minutes in the air before getting approval to land. Many passengers missed their connections due to that one passenger.

· You're not the only passenger on that jet. You may feel the temperature is too warm or too cold, but we won't contact the flight deck on the request of one single passenger. It usually takes the complaints of several passengers in your section before we will take any action.

· During flight, STAY AWAY FROM THE COCKPIT DOOR!!!!!!! Post 9-11, our first objection is to protect the flight deck at all costs. If you make any attempt to go near it during flight, it makes us nervous and makes red flags go up.

· During take-off and landing, TURN OFF YOUR ELECTRONIC DEVICES All OF THEM. FAA requires that ALL electronic devices are turned off. It won't kill you to do without them for 20 minutes (10 during take-off and 10 during landing). FAA states all must be turned off, so we must enforce that rule.

· Flight Attendants have more power than you realize. If you choose to start fights with us, YOU WILL NOT WIN. There is an array of laws put forward that favor flight crews. We don't want to use them, but will if the circumstances call for it. The results will be you getting kicked off the plane while on the ground before take-off or being escorted off the jet by the police after landing.

· If you're starting your trip at an out-station (that's an airport that flies into a HUB), show up early. You may think that the airplane will wait for you, but it won't. You should arrive at that airport 2 hours before boarding and at the gate 30 minutes before boarding. If you're late at a HUB, we understand because things beyond everyone's control can happen. If you're late at an out-station, the fault is clearly your own and 50 to 120 people shouldn't be penalized for your poor planning.

· During delays, the flight crew doesn't have the power to call and demand your connecting jet be forced to wait for you to arrive. No airline will delay a flight of 250 people to wait for 1 person. Don't waste your breath asking.

· Many airlines allow us to close the doors 10 minutes early, so if everyone shows up a bit early, we can depart 10 minutes early.

· When boarding, put one bag under your seat, one in the overhead, and then sit down so others can do the same. It's that simple.

· Because of 9-11 rules, the pilots can NEVER exit the flight deck in-flight to answer your specific questions about a delay or connection, so don't bother making that ridiculous demand.

· On board, we will go out of our way to accommodate a friendly passenger. Conversely, we will also go out of our way to avoid and ignore a rude and insulting passenger.

· All passengers are ranked by the airline by how often they fly that airline. Frequent Flyers (even if not seated in Business or First) will always get more amenities than those who aren't. We get a list upon boarding and know who is who on the jet.

· Those of you with young children. FAA forbids any passengers from entering the flight deck during flights. However if your child is well-behaved and you ask, the pilots will often still allow your child to visit the flight deck after we land and the cockpit door is opened. Between you and me, they still get a charge in introducing children to the world of aviation.

· Those of you tempted to put laptop computers in the seat pockets, DON'T. It's not an FAA approved stowage area for your computer, and the pockets aren't designed to support the weight of your computer. I've seen many computers destroyed when they slam to the floor.

· Did you know that many parents ignore the changing tables in the lav and change the diapers of their infants on the very tray tables you use on your flight? To answer your next question, the tables aren't always scrubbed and sanitized between flights.

· The blankets are usually replaced between the flights, but the pillows aren't. To avoid getting sick, it's advised to avoid sleeping on the pillows and only using them for lumbar support during the flight. I recommend bringing your own blankets and pillows for your journey.

· Most airlines don't provide snacks in coach anymore. It's wise to being something to munch on during the flight.

I could go on, but I'm going to stop there. I'll save more suggestions for a future article. I hope all passengers reading this will heed my advice. It will go a long way towards making their flight (and especially ours) much more pleasant.

Till Next Time, Fly Safe Everyone,
