This category contains documentaries and video materials that focus on the various types of aircrafts and aircraft related stories. Learn about their history, development through time and also their success and failure stories capable of inspiring, causing fear and, above all, admiration for these machines and people that stand behind them.
Many ages ago, humans first gazed upon the skies and noticed that it was the domain ruled by a peculiar kind of creatures. The thing that they all had in common, we noticed, were the things giving them the ability to elevate themselves, a pair of wings. Our fascination with the ability to fly has set us on a path of discovery of the scientific principles behind it, and it fueled our ever growing desire to master that ability ourselves.
That resulted in the birth of a specific branch of science or art, if you will, dealing with the study, design and manufacturing of air flight capable machines, and the techniques of operating them called aeronautics. Aviation is nothing more than putting in practice the principals of aeronautics.
Enjoy the materials that we provided for you and discover a range of outcomes from constructing, operating, exploiting and even abusing the extraordinary abilities that these marvelous machines provide.
You will discover a wide specter of incredible stories from the airplanes being used to release chemicals into the atmosphere and altering the weather, to the spectacular maneuver of the airplane on Air Transat flight 236, preventing an enormous tragedy. Watch the documentary on an aviation gem called the Boeing, and learn about its history, development and gain profound knowledge on the topic through inspection of never before seen footage. Further on, see what happens when a fatal maintenance error occurs and because of it, a cockpit window falls out of place at an altitude of 30, 000 feet.
Bare witness the incredible stories of the heroes and the villains of the skies. Find out what key roles the airplanes have had since the very first ones took off to the vast spaces above us. Discover the extraordinary stories of the people responsible for the breakthroughs in the relevant fields of science and improving the overall safety and the quality of the flights.
In 1930, her peer voted her “best female pilot” in a group including Amelia Earhart. Her records for endurance, altitude, and speed in 1920s and 1930s helped her gain worldwide fame. She was the ...
The Wright brothers were always interested and fascinated by flight. They attribute their interest in aviation to a small toy helicopter
There have been reports in the past few years that the jet had been built in part from plans of US war planes. To be specific, there were plans obtained from the F-22 raptor by Chinese hackers. Beijin...
On May 20, 1932, Earhart broke down barriers as the first female to solo pilot a plane across the Atlantic
In June 1963, Valentina orbited Earth 48 times, spent almost three days in space in Volstok 6, and she exchanged communications with another spacecraft
The aircraft took its first flight from Toulouse-Bagnac Airport at 10:42 am local time
These airports are as challenging, as they are amazing and strange. Incredible landings, incredible takeoffs in extreme conditions and strong wind make these airports a challenge for every pilot.
With demand for international airline travel going through the roof in recent years, we can expect longer and longer flights
