Airplane has allowed people and their cargo to go to another
place or country faster and more convenient. Imagine how travelling could have
been without the invention of the airplane. It would certainly be stressful and
difficult for you to go the other side of the world.
Airplane Facts You Must Know
Did you know that there are four forces of flight? These are
thrust, drag, lift, and weight. These forces push the plane up, forward, down, or
slow it down.
Do you know who invented and flew the first airplane? It was the
Wright brothers in 1903, and they called their aircraft, the Wright Flyer. It
flew about 120 feet. During its first flight, Orville Wright did not sit in the
aircraft; rather, he laid flat of the lower wing in the middle of the plane.
The incidents of airplane turbulence increase when the carbon
dioxide in the atmosphere increases too. The oxygen in emergency oxygen masks
in an airplane, on the other hand, can just last for 15 minutes.
Based on Popular Mechanics, your chance of accident survival will
be improved by 40% if you are sitting in an airplane’s tail. Other studies
indicate that people sitting farther than 5 rows away from the exit area are
less likely to be successful in exiting an airplane during an emergency. Another
research also showed that the first 3 minutes after takeoff and the last 8
minutes prior to landing are when 80% of plane crashes occurs.
