ANTONOV AN-225



In the last class we saw five differents aircrafts, and I would like talk about the 
Antonov AN-225.
is a strategic airlift cargo aircraft that was designed by the antonov Design Bureau Company in the Ukranian SSR within the Soviet Union during the 1980s. It is powered by six turbofan engines and is the heaviest aircraft ever built, with a maximus take off weight of 640 tonnes
The Antonov An-225, initially developed for the task of transporting the Buran spaceplane.

 The first fligth of the Antonov An-225 was completed in 1988.
The airlifter holds the absolute world record for an airlifted single-item payload of 189,980 kilograms. This plane is not made to carry passengers. It only has the capacity to carry the two pilots and up to four more crew members.

HOW DO AIRPLANES FLY

Image
 According to Bernoulli's theorem,  In any ideal fluid (without viscosity or friction), incomprehensible, in laminar regime of circulation through a closed conduit, the energy that has the fluid remains constant throughout its entire journey. In our case we will focus in the pressure. There are two types of pressure, the static and the dynamic, and the addition of these will be constant in all of points of the route. The dynamic pressure depends of the density and the velocity, and this velocity increase when the fluid of air passes by the narrowing formed in the top of the wing, this increase of the velocity lowers the static pressure, and this difference of pressures between the top and the bottom of the wing is the fact what makes it fly. The difference of pressure varies according the profile of the wing, we can take into account: -Leading edge: the edge more advanced. -Trailing edge: the edge more delayed. -Chord: line that links the leading edge with the trailing edge.

MY WEEK #13

This week I returned to do calisthenics, this is based to do physical  exercise with your own body. The last year I started this sport with my class partner Vicente, but before summer we left to go. This year I want to take routine again, but my partner don't want to come back with me, fortunately I have more friends that they could go with me. The problem is that I am playing football, and now I will have training of calisthenics Monday, Wednesday and Friday, and trainning of football Tuesday and Thursday and match ob Sunday. I only will we able to rest one day at the week. The past weekend was "Sant Sebastià" and every year we make a barbacue, but this year was impossible because it was bad weather. Finally we cook the meat in the house of Álvaro. In class we are watching module 9, Human Factors, and we have Felipe and Jose María as teachers. With Felipe, we are learning the differents causes and reasons why accidents occur. And Jose María is teaching the sight and he

MY INVENTION

Image
Have you ever tried to mesure something with your hands or fingers? I am sure that yes. But this is always a bad mesure and never  works. For this reason I have invented "Mesufingers" Whats is "Mesufingers" and how do it works? I will explain you. C onsists of two caps with an interior in silicone to adapt to the different sizes of fingers that measure the distance between both caps by issuing signals that determine the distance between both fingers, calculating the distance from the delay in the arrival of the signal from one cap to the other. The measured distance is shown through LED. It isn't it to measure great distances, but it can be extremely useful for everyday tasks. You can use it in the same hand or use it hand to hand. T his would replace the tape metric and this would do it in a simpler and more effective way. My invention would be sould between 30-50 euros
