"The Lockheed R6V Constitution was a large, propeller-driven, double-decker transport aircraft developed in the 1940s by Lockheed as a long-range, high capacity transport and airliner for the U.S. Navy and Pan American Airways. "

The first four test missions of the Space Transportation System (STS) - flights STS-1, 2, 3, and 4 - are covered.

"Tunnel Through! Contributed by: Integrated Teaching and Learning Program, College of Engineering, University of Colorado at Boulder Photo shows two men looking at metal prongs coming through the side of a mountain with a crumbling rock pile in front of them. Workers look at the TBM cutterhead after it reached daylight in April 1997, after a 2.5-year journey excavating through Yucca Mountain, NV. TBM is a tunnel boring machine. Students apply their knowledge about mountains and rocks to transportation engineering, with the task of developing a model mountain tunnel that simulates the principles behind real-life engineering design. Student teams design and create model tunnels through a clay mountain, working within design constraints and testing for success; the tunnels must meet specific design requirements and withstand a certain load.

"That would place our photo likely before 1929 (before the logo would have picked up Eastern Air Transport and be painted on the Mailwing). "

"Amelia Earhart's notoriety was established the previous year when she became the first woman to cross the Atlantic. Earhart felt her celebrity status was unfounded since she was only a passenger on the famed flight. Entering the race would add credibility to her as a pilot as well as prove the safety of aviation as a mode of transportation. "

"The 85-ton space shuttle was to be transported from Los Angeles International Airport through 12 miles of city streets in Los Angeles and Inglewood to the California Science Center, where it will go on permanent display. Nothing like this had ever been moved through a city."

"NASA and private space firms are determined to strengthen partnerships in the next phase of development in the agency's commercial crew transportation program, which is due to kick off in February, officials said last week. "

"The astronauts of the 21st century will continue to work aboard the International Space Station in cooperation with our international partners; help to build and fly a new NASA vehicle, the Orion Multi-Purpose Crew Vehicle (MPCV) designed for human deep space exploration; and further NASA's efforts to partner with industry to provide a commercial capability for space transportation to the space station."

In the second part of his four-part series, civilian public affairs officer David Elias is about to witness how Canadian Forces crews conduct search and rescue (SAR) exercises. He is boarding a CC-130 Hercules from 435 Transport and Rescue Squadron, 17 Wing Winnipeg, Man aircraft departing for a simulated SAR response above Lake Superior. He's never flown in an aircraft cockpit before, much less a cool military cockpit.

Small electric aircraft could solve the transportation problems of the near future by providing quick hops between neighborhood airports, according to a presentation at the Future of Electric Vehicles conference held earlier this month in San Jose, Calif. The "pocket" airports could support 120 operations per hour, limited to small air-taxi vehicles only, while occupying only two acres in urban areas

classroom activity ideas and unit plans about aviation. Learn how aircraft fly and try to solve word problems and other mathematical equations relating to aviation. Includes links to resources on Transportation: Aircraft, Aviation: Military Aircraft, and Aviation: Wright Brothers.

This series of curricular units focus on themes that NASA engineers and scientists -- as well as future generations of explorers -- must consider when planning future human explorations into space. This includes such themes as Energy and Power, Transportation and Lunar Plant Growth Chambers (the STS-118 Design Challenges).

"The "Supersonic bi-directional flying wing" has wings of alternating length at each compass point and therefore can solve both situations, by taking off in one orientation, then essentially flying sideways when it's time to go supersonic. I'd like to see video of how this happens in motion, but from what I can see in the stills, it looks like the dual engines up top determine the direction of flight, and that the rest of the plane rotates around them.
