Those who want to learn to fly, either professionally or by testing themselves with new challenges, should know that an important part of their instruction will be carried out thanks to flight simulators.

The use of flight simulators in the training programs to obtain certain qualifications, such as instrument flight (IR), allows the student’s capabilities to be exponentially expanded in extremely diverse situations and scenarios, allowing to analyze, stop or repeat the maneuvers as many times as necessary to achieve optimal technification. Next, we explain what a flight simulator consists of, and in what situations its use is essential.

We are still far from flying at hypersonic speeds, but the aeronautical industry is beginning to be in a position to carry out tests that bring us closer to that future reality. In fact, the Stratolaunch company designed in the first half of the decade what could have been the first hypersonic aircraft in history, destined to launch special spacecraft and satellites in the upper atmospheric layers, but the project at the time of this writing lines is paralyzed.

During World War II, the world of aviation underwent an impressive technological revolution. Each time the aircraft were able to fly higher and faster. But pilots and engineers ran into the so-called ‘sound barrier’ over and over again. That is, the possibility of exceeding the speed at which sonic waves are transmitted through the air. Approximately 344 m / s at 20 ° C temperature, or what is the same, 1,238.4 km / h.

For students, future pilots, and even passengers with a certain concern to expand their knowledge, the automatic pilot of aircraft is not completely unknown. However, it is common to ask questions about its operation and role during the flight.
