Discussion: Putting it All Together – The Crossroads of Science, Technology, and Society
Write a postcard to a famous aviator that makes specific connections between your personal interest in aviation-related sciences and their contributions to aviation.
Describe a key flight that changed the world and how it has influenced you.
Describe how a ground-breaking aircraft has impacted your life.
Develop an evidence-based argument that supports the claim that humans have and continued to gain inspiration from nature in developing and improving flight technology:Discuss?
Question 2
Applying published scientific research along with concepts involved in the evolution of birds, bio-aerial locomotion, and the basic principles of flight, develop an evidence-based argument that supports the claim that frigate birds can stay aloft for months during transoceanic flights.
Now, synthesize and apply the information you reviewed on the concept of density altitude to address the following:
Using terms that an average person could easily understand and by applying related concepts and terms, present a practical definition of density altitude.
Fill in the blank: If the value of density altitude is relatively high, the air density is relatively _______.
Of the four main forces acting on aircraft, name the ones that are reduced by high density altitude flying conditions.
Of the four main forces acting on aircraft, name the one that can be altered, in the process of proper flight planning, to reduce the impact of high density altitude flying conditions.
Explain why a combination of high, hot, and humid conditions creates high density altitude flying conditions. Your explanation should involve a discussion of how air temperature, pressure, humidity affect air density and thus the density altitude.
Apply your understanding of density altitude to answer the following scenario-based question:
A general aviation pilot in training is scheduled to do repeated touch and go’s (landing and taking off again without coming to a full stop) in a Cessna 172 at Bob Adams Field in Steamboat Springs, Colorado (elevation 6882 feet) on a mid-afternoon in early August. Explain why the aircraft’s ability to take off, land, and climb during the touch and go’s will be negatively impacted. Include an image within your document that visualizes the explanation.
Rossy, thank you, An unregulated public forum can expose people and ideas to uninformed inflammatory comments and reactions based on power struggles rather than logical thought. This power struggle can negatively influence public opinion. This interaction can also be positive by the initiation of conversation and by generating awareness of the situation. Knowing the potential negative effects of social media, it can still be a powerful agent for promoting awareness and support for change and should be a part of the campaign for policy change. Other media outlets should be used, in order to reach people who do not frequently use social media. A broad range of media can reach the most people.
How do you feel about regulating social media?Discuss.
Cowboys of the American West: Myth vs Reality:Discuss?
Over the last decade, biodiversity (the variety of all living things on Earth) has continued to decrease due to human behavior and climate change. However, an increase in the number of zoonotic diseases (diseases transmitted from animals to humans) such as AIDS, Ebola, West Nile virus, severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS), and now COVID-19 has made us more aware of how animals and humans interact in an ecosystem.
What do you think–does biodiversity protect humans against infectious disease?
