454 examples of Aircraft in a sentence

We have license plates on cars, tail numbers on aircraft.
So what we need is space inside the aircraft, inside a very dense area.
And my belief is that we will get more and more new materials which we can put into structure later on, because structure is one of the key issues in aircraft design.
So this technology, 3D printing, and new design rules really help us to reduce the weight, which is the biggest issue in aircraft design, because it's directly linked to greenhouse gas emissions.
We have social areas inside the aircraft which might turn into a place where you can play virtual golf.
Well, the kind of drone I'm talking about is simply a model aircraft fitted with an autopilot system, and this autopilot unit contains a tiny computer, a GPS, a compass, a barometric altimeter and a few other sensors.
We've developed a preventive maintenance system which can be installed on any aircraft.
The aircraft, while in flight, will communicate with technicians on the ground.
So one of the first things we need is we need an aircraft that can take off and land in small spaces and quickly take you where you want to go.
If you use electric motors, you can have many of them around the aircraft, and it doesn't add a lot of extra weight.
Autonomy allows the transportation network to scale, and I actually think it makes the aircraft safer.
The technology need to mature in terms of safety, to get to the safety levels that we expect from aircraft.
I think they'll probably feel even stronger about aircraft.
If you look at the emissions associated with long-haul trucking and commercial aircraft, they add up to about five percent.
I haven't been shot at in six years, and I was woken up very abruptly this morning by a nightmare that I was being strafed by aircraft, six years later.
I've never even been strafed by aircraft, and I was having nightmares about it.
So again, they don't have to be weight; they could be a general trying to move troops, and he's got to move an aircraft carrier versus a little boat.
In my cell phone, I have an app that tells me where every plane in the world is, and its altitude, and its speed, and what kind of aircraft it is, and where it's going and where it's landing.
They drove at night or in the early morning to avoid air strikes, and watchmen were ready to warn drivers of enemy aircraft.
Vietnamese forces even used deception to get the U.S. aircraft to bomb mountainsides in order to make gravel for use in building and maintaining roads.
This attack results in a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier almost melting down, which was stopped just short of killing thousands of soldiers and civilians.
Finally, in 1947, design improvements, such as a movable horizontal stabilizer, the all-moving tail, allowed an American military pilot named Chuck Yeager to fly the Bell X-1 aircraft at 1127 km/h, becoming the first person to break the sound barrier and travel faster than the speed of sound.
The Bell X-1 was the first of many supersonic aircraft to follow, with later designs reaching speeds over Mach 3. Aircraft traveling at supersonic speed create a shock wave with a thunder-like noise known as a sonic boom, which can cause distress to people and animals below or even damage buildings.
This involves solving the famous Navier-Stokes equations to find the variation of pressure in the air due to the supersonic aircraft flying through it.
Well, the sonic boom occurs when there is a sudden change in pressure, and the N-wave involves two booms: one for the initial pressure rise at the aircraft's nose, and another for when the tail passes, and the pressure suddenly returns to normal.
It's an aircraft that tries to have its cake and eat it.
Like other fixed-wing aircraft, it is efficient in forward flight, much more so than helicopters and variations thereof.
Unlike most other fixed-wing aircraft, however, it is capable of hovering, which has huge advantages for takeoff, landing and general versatility.
The idea is for the aircraft to recover no matter what state it finds itself in, and through practice, improve its performance over time.
It turns out that decades ago, skilled pilots were able to fly remote-controlled aircraft that had only two moving parts: a propeller and a tail rudder.
