It was only a fifteen-minute flight, but before it was through Greg felt himself developing a case of claustrophobia.

He was about to make a gas check on his flight when Todman's voice broke in: `` Sweeneys!!

during long weeks the plan for his flight was rehearsed.

for what had happened on the common was only terror and flight ; ;

He was prancing along the hall, heading for the next flight of stairs.

Their flight was delayed, Dunn said, when a boarding ramp inflicted some minor damage to the wing of the plane.

It was probably man's first successful flight in a missile.

Her first actual flight, for she and her kind had made mock flights on dummy panels since she was eight, showed her complete mastery of the techniques of her profession.

The first manned flight of Apollo was in 1968 and it succeeded in landing the first humans on Earth's Moon in 1969 through 1972.

While the Mercury capsule could only support one astronaut on a limited Earth orbital mission, the Apollo spacecraft was to be able to carry three astronauts on a circumlunar flight and eventually to a lunar landing.

The rival forces met at Sievershausen on 9 July 1553, and after a combat of unusual ferocity Albert was put to flight.

Scalich saved his life by flight, but Funck was executed.

In the general engagement which followed, Abner was defeated and put to flight.

Peter felt insulted: the flight of the tsarevich to a foreign potentate was a reproach and a scandal, and he had to be recovered and brought back to Russia at all costs.

American Airlines Flight 77 was a passenger flight which was hijacked by five al-Qaeda terrorists on September 11, 2001, as part of the September 11 attacks.

Hani Hanjour, one of the hijackers who was trained as a pilot, assumed control of the flight.

By the time mission control issued the wake-up call to the crew for flight day two, the spacecraft was approximately away from the Earth, traveling at about.

As the Apollo 16 spacecraft was not due to arrive in lunar orbit until flight day four, flight days two and three were largely preparatory days, consisting of spacecraft maintenance and scientific research.

The remainder of flight day four was spent making observations and preparing for activation of the Lunar Module, undocking, and landing the next day.

The penultimate day of the flight was largely spent performing experiments, aside from a twenty minute press conference during the second half of the day.

Today automated flight control is common to reduce pilot error and workload at key times like landing or takeoff. Autopilot was first invented by Lawrence Sperry during World War II to fly bomber planes steady enough to hit precision targets from 25, 000 feet.

Following the Glorious Revolution, the line of succession to the English throne was governed by the Bill of Rights 1689, which declared that the flight of James II from England to France during the revolution amounted to an abdication of the throne and that James ' son-in-law, ( and nephew ) William of Orange, and his wife, James ' daughter, Mary, were James ' successors, who ruled jointly as William III and Mary II.

On July 2 – 3, 2005, American adventurer Steve Fossett and co-pilot Mark Rebholz recreated the flight in a replica of the Vickers Vimy aeroplane.

( In 1998 Australian Lang Kidby recreated this flight in a similar 1927 Avro Avian ).

The flight deck set of the Jupiter 2 was recreated as the backdrop for parts of the special.

About 200 of the special V-1 rocket-bombs were to be made ready for manned flight with an explosive warhead.

Other FBI men, talking with the pilot from the tower, conspired with him to delay the proposed flight to Havana.

As the body prepares to deal with a threat, blood pressure, heart rate, perspiration, blood flow to the major muscle groups are increased, while immune and digestive functions are inhibited ( the fight or flight response ).

Shortly after waking up on the morning of flight day six three and a half minutes early, Young and Duke discussed with mission control in Houston the day's timeline of events.

Nowadays most commercial planes are equipped with aircraft flight control systems in order to reduce pilot error and workload at landing or takeoff.

DeCelles kept his flight log, according to the article, but he did not file a report with authorities.

Earnest P. “ Larry ” Pletch shot Carl Bivens, 39, a flight instructor who was offering Pletch lessons in a yellow Taylor Cub monoplane with tandem controls in the air after taking off in Brookfield, Missouri.

The modern age of aviation began with the first untethered human lighter-than-air flight on November 21, 1783, in a hot air balloon designed by the Montgolfier brothers.

According to FBI director Robert Mueller and the 9 / 11 Commission, Omari entered the United States through a Dubai flight on June 29, 2001, with Salem al-Hazmi, landing in New York.

Image showing shock waves from NASA's X-43A hypersonic research vehicle in flight at Mach 7, generated using a computational fluid dynamics algorithm. On September 30, 1935 an exclusive conference was held in Rome with the topic of high velocity flight and the possibility of breaking the sound barrier.

Busemann gave a presentation on the need for aircraft with swept wings for high speed flight.

Computational fluid dynamics was started as an effort to solve for flow properties around complex objects and has rapidly grown to the point where entire aircraft can be designed using a computer, with wind-tunnel tests followed by flight tests to confirm the computer predictions.

Through coupling of this magnification method with time of flight mass spectrometry, ions evaporated by application of electric pulses can have their mass-to-charge ratio computed.

The detected events thus become a point cloud data with attributed experimentally measured values, such as ion time of flight or experimentally derived quantities, e. g. time of flight or detector data.

Although he was selected for additional security by CAPPS and screened, he was able to board the flight without incident, with only his checked bags requiring extra screening for explosives.

But the charge succeeded and with their cavalry in headlong flight, the remaining nine French infantry battalions fought with desperate valour, trying to form square.

Eugene, however, became exasperated with the performance of his Imperial cavalry whose third attack had failed: he had already shot two of his troopers to prevent a general flight.

But on his arrival, all was chaos – " Scarcely had my troops got over when the dragoons and Swiss who had preceded us, came tumbling down upon my battalions in full flight … My own fellows turned about and fled along with them.

It is derived from the washing of the bell with holy water by the bishop, before he anoints it with the oil of the infirm without and with chrism within ; a fuming censer is placed under it and the bishop prays that these sacramentals of the Church may, at the sound of the bell, put the demons to flight, protect from storms, and call the faithful to prayer.
