Low-cost carriers emerged in the 1970s, with Southwest Airlines in…
Breaking the Sound Barrier: A Leap in Aviation History
The sound barrier is one of the oldest aviation challenges referring to the speed at which an aircraft converts from subsonic to supersonic- at 767 mph (1,235 km/h) on sea level. This is considered an impossible and risky aim, as it is quite probable for the airframe structure to collapse and to lose control. Before…

Did you know, A brief dissertation on weird aeronautical experiments
My malicious mind was thinking of how much the human race has to thank experimentation due to the things we have learned from it. Even in the most questionable, anti-ethical experiments, there was always something new to comprehend. For instance, everything we know about pneumonia and hypothermia is thanks to the tortures made in Japanese…
