He was dedicated to promote the idea of using airplanes in battle. Long before anyone else, he vigorously promoted the theory that the airplane would replace the fleet as America’s first line of defense. At first not very many people were willing to accept his theory, but he never gave up the idea of bringing in Airplanes to the United States army. After two years of Mitchell promoting his ideas the Army began to use airplanes in the battles at sea. The bombers that were brought in dominated the battle field and gave the United States a large advantage over their enemies. The outcome of William’s dedication was enormous, now there are over three-hundred thousand pilots serving on active duty today. Without William the air force would not be as large of an organization as it is today.
No black school was available locally so he was forced to move. He said "Good-bye" to his adopted parents, Susan and Moses, and headed to Newton County in southwest Missouri. Here is where the path of his education began. He studied in a one-room schoolhouse and worked on a farm to pay for it. He ended up, shortly after, moving with another family to Fort Scott in Kansas. In Kansas, he worked as a baker in a kitchen while he attended the High School. He paid for his schooling with the money he earned from winning bake-off contests. From there he moved all over bouncing from school to school. "College entrance was a struggle again because of racial barriers."2 At the age of thirty he gained acceptance to Simpson College in Indianola, Iowa.
His parents were fed up with him and realized they had to do something to straighten him out. On June 13, 1902, his father took him to St. Mary's Industrial School for Boys. This was a reformatory and an orphanage. His father signed over custody to the Brothers, who were the Missionaries that ran the school.

Wilbur and Orville Wright were American and pioneers of flight. Those two Wright brothers acquired the first mechanical, constant, and composed airplane flight in 1903. They exceeded their own discovery two years later when they built and flew the first fully constructive airplane. According to The Wright Brothers Article on Biography, both brothers were born four years apart, and they grew up in a small town in Ohio. They shared an intelligent concern and a propensity for science, at a time when the possibility of human flight was beginning to look like a reality. Together with each others support, the Wright brothers developed the first successful airplane in Kitty Hawk, North Carolina and they became national heroes. Considered the fathers
Wilbur and Orville Wright spent their lives building and working with mechanical devices. They began with little toys as children and then grew up and began working with bicycles. These works lead them towards their work with airplanes. The Wright Brothers tried for many years to build a successful flying machine and succeeded. The Wright Brothers laid the foundation for aviation when they made history by being the first to create a successful flying machine.
Howard Robert Hughes was born in Huston, Texas in 1905(Moore 92). His father, Robert Hughes, became well known for building oil drilling tools for major corporations such as Standard oil (Nicholas 48). His mother Jane was a frail woman who had a serious case of obsessive compulsive disorder towards hygiene and lived and made her son live in fear of germs for his whole life (Simikin 10). At the age of 52, Robert Hughes died of stomach cancer and left his company to his son Howard (Nicholas 48). Having no interest in the oil machinery business, Howard left the company to his cousins and left Texas.
The Boeing Corporation is one of the largest manufacturers in the world. Rivaled only by European giant Airbus in the aerospace industry, Boeing is a leader in research, design and manufacture of commercial jet airliners, for commercial, industrial and military customers. Despite enjoying immense success in its market and dominating an industry that solely recognizes engineering excellence, it is crucial for Boeing to ensure continued growth through consistent strategy formulation and execution to avoid falling behind in market share to close and coming rivals.

Ever since I was little I was amazed at the ability for a machine to fly. I have always wanted to explore ideas of flight and be able to actually fly. I think I may have found my childhood fantasy in the world of aeronautical engineering. The object of my paper is to give me more insight on my future career as an aeronautical engineer. This paper was also to give me ideas of the physics of flight and be to apply those physics of flight to compete in a high school competition.

After having a separate airline, they needed a new president to fresh sta...
He did not excel there, but managed to graduate in 1791. His family was a well accomplished one, his oldest brother becoming a lawyer, another of his brothers a captain of his own ship, which he died on, and his youngest brother entered the church and rose to be Master of Trinity College in Cambridge. William’s father was a legal representative for James Lowther, 1st Earl of Lonsdale. They lived in a mansion in their small town and because of his father’s business he was away from home frequently. William was taught to read by his mother; his father encouraged him in his readings and allowed him to use his library.
