Aeronautics is the science or art involved with the study, design, and manufacturing of air flight-capable machines, and the techniques of operating aircraft and rockets within the atmosphere. While the term originally referred solely to operating the aircraft, it has since been expanded to include technology, business, and other aspects ...
In United States and Canadian aviation, the Aeronautical Information Manual (AIM) [1] (formerly the Airman's Information Manual) is the respective nation's official guide to basic flight information and air traffic control procedures.
Aeronautics is a term sometimes used interchangeably with aviation, although aeronautics includes lighter-than-air craft such as airships and balloons, while "aviation" does not. Random page in this category
Balloon – In aeronautics, a balloon is an unpowered aerostat, which remains aloft or floats due to its buoyancy. A balloon may be free, moving with the wind, or tethered to a fixed point. It is distinct from an airship, which is a powered aerostat that can propel itself through the air in a controlled manner.
F1B Model by Stepan Stepanchuk. Free flight is the segment of model aviation involving aircraft with no active external control after launch. Free Flight is the original form of hobby aeromodeling, with the competitive objective being to build and launch a self controlling aircraft that will consistently achieve the longest flight duration over multiple competition rounds, within various class ...
In aeronautics, inertia coupling, [1] also referred to as inertial coupling [2] and inertial roll coupling, [3] is a potentially catastrophic phenomenon of high-speed flight in a long, thin aircraft, in which an intentional rotation of the aircraft about one axis prevents the aircraft's design from inhibiting other unintended rotations.

Küchemann was born in Göttingen where he studied at its University of Göttingen, home of the largest German institute of aerodynamics.He was originally going to move on to pure physics research under Max Born, a friend of his father's, but lost this chance when Born and several other Jewish members of the University staff were expelled from the country by the Nazi regime.
