1) The Wright Brothers' aim of building a flying vehicle had finally been realised. It all began when Orville was seven years old and Wilbur was eleven. Bishop Milton Wright, their father, gifted them a toy helicopter.
2) Shivkar Bapuji Talpade, not the Wright brothers, was the first to fly a plane over Chowpatty in 1895, eight years before the American siblings.
3) Leonardo da Vinci was attracted by the concept of aviation, and he did create a flying machine, but it was never completed and was not capable of continuous flight during his lifetime.
4) With his No. 14-bis, Brazilian aviation pioneer Alberto Santos-Dumont accomplished the first substantial powered aeroplane flights in Europe in 1906.
5) Planes can now fly nonstop for 21 hours.
6) One million volts or 30,000 amps can be found in a single lightning strike. Aerials, compasses, and avionics can all be damaged by lightning, as well as small puncture holes in the fuselage, radomes, and tail fins. Furthermore, lightning can briefly blind the flight crew, especially at night.
7) The magnetic fields that pervade the polar regions pose particular navigational challenges. Because the polar areas interfere with magnetic navigational equipment, this can make it harder for planes to navigate.
8) The 787's raked wingtip, where the wing sweeps upwards at the end, is one of its most distinctive features. Its purpose is to improve the aircraft's fuel efficiency and allow it to climb more efficiently. This is most likely the first time we've seen something like this in a commercial service.
9) To summarise, aeroplane cabin lights are dimmed during nighttime takeoffs and landings for safety reasons. It offers a safer environment by making emergency exits easier to locate and allows passengers to adjust their vision in the event of an emergency.
10) The "bleed hole" is a little hole in the centre of the two. Its major function is to maintain air pressure equilibrium. Between the middle and outer panes, there is a little gap. The "bleed hole" permits pressure between the passenger compartment and the air gap to be balanced.
