MH4

Tried to make the plane more eco-friendly (as one of my goals is to design eco-friendly planes one day) by increasing the scale factor of wings, rudder, horizontal stabilizer, and propeller so the engine could use less energy while in flight.

MIG-21

Here is one of my edited designs (I'm sorry I do not have the original form, I forgot to save it. Although you cannot really see the difference of the designs...) It is the MIG 21, a jet fighter aircraft. To give you a quick summary of what kind of "war plane" it is, it was the most produced supersonic jet in aviation history. It started being developed in the 1950s and was a successful Soviet aircraft.

Aviation Designs

One of my new hobbies lately is to edit other peoples' designs of planes. It may sound odd at first but it is actually really fun- similar to solving a puzzle. It makes you think about how a plane really works, and how you could improve it. Right now, I am only at the step of studying other people's designs, but soon I think I will try designing some myself.

National Geographic

A little earlier, I was looking for a good website without annoying ads, viruses, and most important- wanted news articles about space with proof. This is when I found out that National Geographic had not only worldwide news articles, but a whole section about space. I always had interest in National Geographic magazines, and believe that the articles have definite proof. So, if you are looking for a good website about outerspace, I would definitely recommend National Geographic.

The Endeavour

The Endeavour Space Shuttle is now at the LA Science Center. But before it retired, it had made many goals and had been in the center or attention many times. In 2011 it had also been captured at the ISS (International Space Station) for the first time since 1996. It had flown 122,853,151 miles and lived 299 days in space. That is why I felt it and honor to be able to see the space shuttle when I went to LA. I had also seen its departure in 2008 Florida and also felt excited to see it up close.

Domino's uses Drone to Deliver Pizza

Domino's, a pizza place that is known for having fast delivery, has finally reached the point of studying a way to deliver pizza by the Drone. I think this is fascinating because this proves that aviation is not only advancing in the ways of transporting people, but is also used in many other ways. (I will post about that later). 

Although, many states in the U.S. have already banned this idea, I think this is a great idea. The pizza would not be stuck in traffic and be cold by the time it reaches its destination. It would also reduce the cause of a car crash, because many pizza deliverers drive "dangerously" to get the pizza on time. 

When there are pluses, there are always minuses. A thing that I would be concerned about would be that there are some crazy people in the world, and might break the Drone. This would cause a lot of arguments, and might even reach to law suits. Another thing I might be concerned about would be that if it was windy or rainy, there is a chance that the Drone could fall anywhere. It could be a highway or even on someone's house. This would lead to serious accidents, and to more arguments.

Air Fact!

Air New Zealand used to be the only airline to circumnavigate the world until in March 2013, when they canceled flights from Hong Kong to London.
