Experimental measurements of the speed of sound in air were carried out successfully between 1630 and 1680 by a number of investigators, prominently Mersenne.

The seeds of life which continued floating in the air were carried down with the rains and produced vegetation.

Some tanks and armoured vehicles are transportable by helicopter, dropped by parachute, or carried by air transport.

The transport ( and smuggling ) of minerals with a high value for weight is also carried out by air, and in the east, some stretches of paved road isolated by destroyed bridges or impassable sections have been turned into airstrips.

The speed of light and other EMR predicted by Maxwell's equations did not appear unless the equations were modified in a way first suggested by FitzGerald and Lorentz ( see history of special relativity ), or else otherwise it would depend on the speed of observer relative to the " medium " ( called luminiferous aether ) which supposedly " carried " the electromagnetic wave ( in a manner analogous to the way air carries sound waves ).

In the context of propulsion systems, an air-breathing engine is one that uses atmospheric air to oxidise the fuel carried rather than supplying an independent oxidizer, as in a rocket.

Air-breathing combustion engines are combustion engines that use the oxygen in atmospheric air to oxidise (' burn ') the fuel carried, rather than carrying an oxidiser, as in a rocket.

Deflation is divided into three categories: ( 1 ) surface creep, where larger, heavier particles slide or roll along the ground ; ( 2 ) saltation, where particles are lifted a short height into the air, and bounce and saltate across the surface of the soil ; and ( 3 ) suspension, where very small and light particles are lifted into the air by the wind, and are often carried for long distances.

* 1940 4 July – French bombers, based in French Morocco, carried out a retaliatory air raid over Gibraltar as a reprisal for the destruction of the French fleet at Mers-el-Kebir, Algeria, by the Force H ( about 1, 300 French sailors were killed and about 350 were wounded in the action against the French fleet ).

His first aerodynamic experiments, an investigation of the air resistance of surfaces, was carried out by dropping the surface to be investigated together with a measuring apparatus down a vertical cable stretched between the second level of the Eiffel Tower and the ground.

They carried Kurtz to the pilot-house: " there was more air there "-The natives once again assembled on shore, and the native woman returned-they all began to shout.

Later when Paris was encircled by German troops, Gambetta fled Paris by means of a hot air balloon and he became the virtual dictator of the war effort which was carried on from the rural provinces.

* On July 25, 1993, following Hezbollah's killing of seven Israeli soldiers in southern Lebanon, Israel launched Operation Accountability ( known in Lebanon as the Seven Day War ), during which the IDF carried out their heaviest artillery and air attacks on targets in southern Lebanon since 1982.

Most air accident investigations are carried out by an agency of a country that is associated in some way with the accident ; for example, the Air Accidents Investigation Branch conducts accident investigations on behalf of the British Government.

* 1917 – World War I: the deadliest German air raid on London during World War I is carried out by Gotha G bombers and results in 162 deaths, including 46 children, and 432 injuries.

Alternatively, if the last step is carried out in air:

While one is working the land, the other is carried upside-down in the air.

Major conservation work has been carried out since, due to the effects of London's air pollution, and extensive repairs took place after the Second World War, including the reconstruction of the Commons Chamber following its bombing in 1941.

Thus a rocket would need about 6x more energy ; and allowing for the specific energy of rocket propellant being around one third that of conventional air fuel, roughly 18x more mass of propellant would need to be carried for the same journey.

They carried small payloads that allowed them to measure attributes including air temperature and cosmic ray impacts.

Traditionally, politically driven talk radio from the United States does not air on Canadian stations, with a few scattered exceptions ( e. g. the now-defunct CFBN, which carried political programming such as the Glenn Beck Program and Dennis Miller, and the also-discontinued talk format of CHAM, which carried Miller ).

Argon, carried in a small, separate tank, connected only to the inflator of the drysuit is preferred to air, since air conducts heat 50 % faster than argon.

The information is furnished by each of the guests, is sent by oral broadcasting over the air waves, and is received by the ears.

The boundless blue air was stretched over the zenith like the skin of a drum.

He then pushes his seat into the air and the teacher guides it over.

We take leave of Pumblechook as he gloats over Pip's loss of fortune, extending his hand `` with a magnificently forgiving air '' and exhibiting `` the same fat five fingers '', one of which he identifies with `` the finger of Providence '' and shakes at Pip in a canting imputation of the latter's `` ingratitoode '' and his own generosity as Pip's `` earliest benefactor ''.

There he'd take a compass reading, figure his air speed, and deduce that in a certain number of minutes he'd be over the broad meadows of the Merrimack Valley where it would be safe to let down through the overcast and see the ground before it hit him.

The vision of a Lord Tennyson expressed in a poem 100 years ago took visible form over London in the air blitzes of 1941.

When he turned into the highway that led to the outskirts of the city and then rose toward home, he had to pull over to the curb and wait for a few minutes, sucking in air and squinting and blinking his eyes to clear them of tears.

The radiation station of the Chicago board of health recorded a reading of 1 micro-microcurie of radiation per cubic meter of air over Chicago yesterday.

Then the monk praised Yang Shan saying: `` I have come over to China in order to worship Manjucri, and met unexpectedly with Minor Shakya '', and after giving the master some palm leaves he brought from India, went back through the air.

In most species, the sound is produced by expelling air from the lungs over the vocal cords into an air sac or sacs in the throat or at the corner of the mouth.

Depending on the thickness of the adobe bricks, the framework has been performed using a steel framing and a layering of a metal fencing or wiring over the framework to allow an even load as masses of adobe are spread across the metal fencing like cob and allowed to air dry accordingly.

In general, winds transport moisture and air over land areas.

Between the two countries, there are political disputes over several aspects of political control over the Aegean space, including the size of territorial waters, air control and the delimitation of economic rights to the continental shelf.

Economic requirements triumphed over environmental considerations when the Soviet-era Nairit plant was reopened in January 1992 after being closed in 1989 because of the massive air pollution it caused.

Adiabatic heating also occurs in the Earth's atmosphere when an air mass descends, for example, in a katabatic wind or Foehn or chinook wind flowing downhill over a mountain range.

* 1986 – Aeroméxico Flight 498 collides with a Piper PA-28 over Cerritos, California, killing 67 in the air and 15 on the ground.

One characteristic of the Missileer ancestry was that the radar sent it mid-course corrections, which allowed the fire control system to " loft " the missile up over the target into thinner air where it had better range.

It was then decided to ban private air traffic over Central Berlin.
