I) What are the two primary classes of aircrafts:

1) Lighter-than air:

2) Heavier- than air:

8:43:57 AM

1) Lighter-than air: 1.Hydrogen was used (flammable gas). 2.Uses gas to keep it aloft 3.Eventually slighter heavier helium (non flammable) was used

8:43:57 AM

II) Lighter-than air: 1) Non-rigid: free balloon or hot air balloon, has no internal or external framework. Has no steering mechanism. 2) Rigid: blimp, gas is contained in a fabric covered wooden or metal frame work. A gondola (control car) is underneath which carries engines and personnel.

Note: The Hindenburg was a German Zeppelin, after a successful passenger flight began across the Atlantic caught fire while landing in New jersey in May 1937, killing 36 people and injuring many.

2) Heavier-than air:

All other types.

8:43:57 AM

III) Heavier-than air: 1) Rotary wing: Lift is generated by moving blades overhead which act as revolving wings A) Autogiro: non powered air driven blades. Forward flight is accomplished by use of a conventional engine and propeller. Forward motion caused free wheeling rotating blade.
8:43:57 AM

B) Helicopter:
Powered by rotating blades. blades may be tilted in any direction to control flight path.

8:43:57 AM

2) Fixed wing: A) Seaplanes: (flying boats) uses floats or hulls in place of conventional landing gear to take off and land on water . B) Landplanes: classified by location of wing, landing gear type etc

8:43:57 AM

8:43:57 AM

C) Amphibians: can operate either on land or on water.
