Flight

Post Reply New Topic

I want to know if anyone is interested in flight because I'm very lonely at school because I don't have anyone to talk to.

Flight?

Flight? You mean like airplanes, rockets and the like?

If so... I love that stuff! To be honest, I know a lot less about it than I should, but I've always found flight fascinating (I could spend hours making and flying paper airplanes, and failing at it).

If you like rockets and planes there's a very cool video game called Kerbal Space Program which is mainly based on rockets but it has airplanes too. It's basically a giant simulator, and the rocket parts and engineering/physics principles involved are very realistic--so realistic that I managed to fail miserably and still have fun.

Flight as in the actual thing, simulator games like Microsoft flight or like remote control stuff?
I like all 3 and have been involved in them since I was a couple of years old.

Sure, for a long time one of my "special interests" were all things airplanes and rockets, but especially any sort of military airplanes from WW2 on. I could quote all sorts of stuff on it for hours. And I love flight simulators as well.

More into ships than planes.

But planes are cool too.

Flight in nature is also fascinating.

Atleast four groups of animals evolved flight indendepentally of each other: the insects, the reptiles ( the extinct pterasaurs), the birds (or small 'dinosaurs' if you will), and mammals (one sixth of all mammal species are bats), and one other mammal of the primate persuasion unrelated to bats recently also evolved flight as well.

Yes I mean Jets and Rockets.

Soaring planes (aka gliders) are more fun.

They are solar powered aircraft.
