In Flanders Fields,
By: John McCrae
In Flanders Fields, the poppies blow,
between the crosses row on row
that mark our place;
and in the sky,
the larks, still bravely singing fly,
scarce heard amid the guns below
We are the dead.
short days ago
We lived felt dawn saw sunset glow
Loved, and were loved,
and now we lie in flanders fields
Take up our quarrel with the foe
to you from falling hands we throw
the torch, be yours to hold it high
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep
though poppies grow
In Flanders Fields

The Book Recommendation
Fly-by-Wire The Geese The Glide The Miracle of the Hudson
By: William Langewiesche
Take a tour about the Hudson River and how an aircraft ditched on that very river in January 2009. Go back to the very design of the aircraft, the Airbus A320 to its engineers then the airline and the ditching itself.

How Does an Afterburner Work?
How does an Afterburner Work?
A jet engine, like many other engines is a reaction engine. It works by absorbing air, compressing the air in a combustion chamber where the air expands greatly and then it is shot back out at the back of the engine as air and exaust at about Mach 2 or about 1500 miles/hour. This is known as thrust. An engine absorbs air and shoots it out as a hot gas.
An afterburner is a part of an engine that acts like a booster. The afterburner is another stage fitted on only a certain amount of their engines like that of a Rolls Royce/SNECMA Olympus 593 fitted on the Supersonic Concorde. The afterburner injects fuel directly into the exaust stream expanding the air even more and creating nearly 50% more thrust to the engines' thrust.

Modern jet engines use a turbine to improve the fuel effiency of a jet engine. This allows the jet engine to work at lower speeds and therefore lower temperatures. The turbine compresses the air before fuel is injected in the combustion chamber. This modern engine is extremely efficent. For example, on a Boeing 747-400, the aircraft can earn up to 19 miles per passenger gallon.
An afterburner is a part of an engine that acts like a booster. The afterburner is another stage fitted on only a certain amount of their engines like that of a Rolls Royce/SNECMA Olympus 593 fitted on the Supersonic Concorde. The afterburner injects fuel directly into the exaust stream expanding the air even more and creating nearly 50% more thrust to the engines' thrust.
The advantage of an afterburner is it can significantly add more thrust without adding weight, complexity and higher speeds and temperature to the engine. An afterburner is basically just a number of fuel injectors to compress the air further and increase the thrust of an engine.
The disadvantage of the afterburner is that it uses a lot of fuel to generate its power.
The afterburner was an amazing design for the 1970s to 1990s but now has come out of commercial service due to the retirement of the Concorde. Military aircraft like the F-18 and the SR-71 still has afterburner to aid with special missions or to take-off from a short airstrip.
To learn more about the afterburner, click here - very interesting
Summary:
This article is about an afterburner which is a stage in certain jet engines that compresses the air to create more thrust. The afterburner does have to burn more fuel to perform this. Military aircraft still use afterburners to help aid the performance of the aircraft and this is very important.
Reflection:
This article is very important to me because it was essential to the developpement of many military aircraft and the supersonic Concorde. To develop new technologies, it is important to look to the past to build the future. With advancing technology, we don't know if previous technology is best for us. The afterburner, in my opinion, is an aviation and aeronautical symbol. The afterburner is a great design giving its excellent performance. What is good about the article is the way the afterburner works. Very cool and interesting.

Turtles Create Delays at John F. Kennedy International Airport
Summary:
On a Wedensday morning, The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey were forced to shut down a runway after turtles were spotted crawling on the surface at John F. Kennedy International Airport. The closure of the runway forced delays of 90 minutes. The Federal Aviation Administration reported that turtles do come from the water every year and according to their Wildlife Strike Database, luckily there have been no recent strike causing damage to any aircraft.
Reflections:
This article is very important because air transportation is a very sophisticated method of transportation and travel. Animals and our planet is also very important to us and we should make sure that animals remain and stay unharmed. It's important that despite frustrating delays at airports and miserable pilots waiting to continue on with their flights, our animals and nature should be safe. On another flight in January 2009, A plane taking off from LaGuardia Airport (Another major airport in the New York area) struck birds despite the pilots trying to somewhat avoid the birds. The Airbus A320 had to ditch in the Hudson River so it would not hurt people and more birds which is why we should take precaution despite the frustrating delays.
If you would like to learn more about the 2009 accident click here for a wikipedia article ( It's safe - I modified 1 day ago with true information) and if you would like to watch a video, click here for a documentary on YouTube. The documentary is about 30-45 minutes long.

Turtles create delays at John F. Kennedy International Airport
Turtles create delays at John F. Kennedy International Airport
(Turtles delay flight at JFK airport)
To go to the article, click here
A runway at one of New York' major airports was closed after about 80 turtles began emerging from the waters and into the runway and its surrounding taxiways. It started when the flight crew of an American Eagle flight reported that about 3 turtles were emerging while taxing to the runway for departure. After only a few minutes, many pilots began reporting about turtles approaching the runway' threshold and the grass. The Federal Aviation Administration stopped flights to give time for the local authorities to clear them up and then was forced to shut down operations with the runway after more pilots began reporting massive numbers on the runway' surface. The authorites then had to clear the turtles back into an area further from the airport property. These forced delays for 90 minutes stranding many passengers officals accounced. The turtles appeared to be Diamondback Terrapins, a species common in the area which surrounds the airport. Every year, aircraft to strike the turtles sometime during the year according to the FAA wildlife strike database. According to their database, there have been no recent reports of any strike causing damage to any aircraft.

OWA - How To Play Dodgeball
My favourite game is dodgeball because it is a very simple, easy and fun game to play. There are many versions of Dodgeball including Doctor Dodgeball and Elimination Dodgeball but we'll stick with Elimination Dodgeball because it's easier to play. The objective of the game is to not get hit with the ball by the opposing team and to get many people from the opposing team out. How play is very simple. First, you need to find a large rectangluar field, preferably the size of a gym you would normally find in a school. That field needs to have lines dividing the field into two congruent seperate rectangles. Second, you need to find many soft balls. About one dodgeball for every 3 people. For example, 5 dodgeballs for 18 people or 7 dodgeballs for for 20 people. If you feel, that there is not enough dodgeballs, add more to the game. Third, place the dodgeballs in the centre line of the area and make all the players go to the 2 ends of the field; one team goes to one end and the other goes to the other end. Countdown backwards from 3. 3. 2. 1. Game's on! Start the game with everyone running to get the ball but be careful! If you get hit with a dodgeball by the other team, you're out! The game ends when everyone has become out. To become out, the dodgeball has to hit you below the waist and may not bounce before hitting the player. If the ball bounces before hitting the player, the player is not out. But, if the ball doesn't bounce, the player is out. Start the game and have fun!My Design Choices
I chose to have a blog with a picture of the wing of what look like the wing of a member of the Airbus A320 family. I did this because I like airplanes a lot. I have also created a chat page to go to the page, click here
