Thoughts on Solo Flight Simulator (Wei Bin)

Hello! This week I have learnt how to control my own flight through the flight simulator game. It is not that hard to control an airplane through this game. After the game, I have found out that in order to lift an airpane, the air pressure above must be lower than the air pressure below the airplane. The lift force of an airplane depends greatly on the area of the wing, shape of aerofoil, angle of attack, altitude and speed of the aircraft. It is quite interesting to know about airplane and I hope to learn more from Mr Scott on the next few lessons.

Solo flight experience- Leyu

Through the past few weeks of lessons on aerodynamics, i thought that it might be easy to maneuver a plane with certain knowledge of it. But it seems that flying a plane is not as easy as i thought after trying out the solo flight. I feel that it takes many experiences to control a plane well without much faults. There may have alot of factors which would affect the plane's flight such as the speed, altitude, wing size and shape of the plane. With these knowledge, we need to know how to combine all of it and apply it in a actual situation of flying a plane. Will be looking forward to the next lesson!

Anthony's thoughts on Air Flight Simulation

I have learnt the 3 basic of aircraft controls. This 3 control allowed aircraft to move in 3 axis.

-Ailerons for movements around the horizontal longitudinal axis.
-Elevators for movements around the horizontal cross axis.
-Rudder for movements around the vertical axis.

I found that the air flight simulation game is very interesting because it can simulate to flying a aircraft.
I have played with the air flight simulation in mission 1. It Using this 3 control to move the aircraft to destination point. Without any 1 of the 3 basic control, The aircraft had no ability to fly and move around.

Thoughts on Air Flight Simulation (Wilson Ong)

Hi,

This week I have learned 3 basic aircraft control and 5 factor that influence the lift performance of an airplane's wing. It's a great explore and understanding to me as I get to know more about an airplane and how sophisticated are these design as any small error can cause a great danger to anyone in the flight. Many factor are take into consideration like area of the wing, shape of the aerofoil and etc.. All this factor can affect how fast, high and how sharp a plane can maneuver. Hope that next lesson I will be able to explore more about aerospace.

Jo's solo flight

Hi, I had my first solo flight today and I think that it isn't as hard as I thought it would be. After going through a couple of theory lesson with Mr Scott, I thought that it will be pretty hard to complete the missions for the solo flight. However, putting in the knowledge of what Mr Scott taught us, the missions became a whole lot easier to complete. Looking forward to the next hands on lesson!
