Although the Terni is somewhat obstructed, it is believed that it could easily be made navigable for small craft.

The term most commonly applies to a spacewalk made outside a craft orbiting Earth ( such as the International Space Station ), but also has applied to lunar surface exploration ( commonly known as moonwalks ) performed by six pairs of American astronauts in the Apollo program from 1969 to 1972.

Parchment craft appears in hand made cards, as scrapbook embellishments, as bookmarks, lampshades, decorative small boxes, wall hangings and more.

Through most of the 20th century, many of these techniques were expensive and involved a small number of dedicated craft practitioners, while the reusability of props, models, effects, or animation techniques made it easier to keep using them.

All team members in the pyramid are either killed or taken into the pyramidal craft by means of transport-rings made of the power-mineral.

Atsby is a New York vermouth made from a base of locally-sourced Chardonnay ( North Fork of Long Island ), and are fortified with craft apple brandy from the finger lakes region.

As the car example demonstrates, the ability to make multiple simultaneous recordings of the same subject — through the use of several DAT or multitrack recorders — has made sound recording into a sophisticated craft.

Like Ruskin, Arts and Crafts artists tended to oppose the division of labor and to prefer craft production, in which the whole item was made and assembled by an individual or small group.

However, the Finnjet also illustrated the shortcomings of gas turbine propulsion in commercial craft, as high fuel prices made operating her unprofitable.

Navigation of the assault craft was made difficult by the smoke and mist obscuring the landmarks they were to use in guiding themselves in, while a heavy current pushed them continually eastward.

Tolkien writes that the Elves made many lesser rings as essays in the craft, but eventually with Sauron's assistance they forged the Seven and the Nine.

Lewen Tugwell, a Farnham sculptor in the 1960s, invented a technique for production of a unique craft product made from resin, Shattaline.

The craft entered commercial service in August 1968, with the Princess Margaret ( of British Rail's Seaspeed ) initially operated between Dover and Boulogne but later craft also made the Ramsgate ( Pegwell Bay ) to Calais route.

Occasional individual reconnaissance flights were made in the following month by the two craft.

Yayoi craft specialists made bronze ceremonial bells ( Dōtaku ), mirrors, and weapons.

There is a main gate leading to paved streets that are named after religious and secular dignitaries ; a summer school program focused on the arts with some classes available for university credit ; a fire hall and movie theater ; a world-renowned amphitheater as well as familiar summer amenities like ice cream pavilions, tourist shops, craft fairs and beaches.

Interestingly, the Periplus informs us that Rhapta, was under the firm control of a governor appointed by Arabian king of Musa, taxes were collected, and it was serviced by " merchant craft that they staff mostly with Arab skippers and agents who, through continual intercourse and intermarriage, are familiar with the area and its language.

The two men dismissed the suggestion that they had seen F-86 jets, since they were intimately familiar with the design of that craft.

All of these preceded the RNLI craft that are now such a familiar part of coastal heritage.

In his review for Allmusic, William Ruhlmann referred to Browne's often overlooked songcrafting, but wrote "... the craft, and the familiar tightness of Browne's veteran studio / live band, couldn't hide the essentially retread nature of much of this material.

Unlike previous printmaking technique such as engraving which required advanced craft skills, lithography allowed the artist to draw directly onto the plate with familiar pens.

Moller has been developing VTOL craft since the late 1960s, but no Moller vehicle has ever achieved free flight out of ground effect.

In the suborbital flight, the space craft went directly from launch to re-entry at the highest point ( point E on the picture ); in the orbital mission on the other hand, the craft went into an orbit around the Earth.

* 1909 – Eugene Lefebvre crashes a new French-built Wright biplane during a test flight at Juvisy, south of Paris, becoming the first ' pilot ' in the world to lose his life in a powered heavier-than-air craft.

However the first free flight ( i. e., untethered ) by manned craft was by balloon built by the brothers Joseph-Michel and Jacques-Etienne Montgolfier in Annonay, France in 1783.

Above the eighth lock down the flight, a short arm ( now used as pleasure craft moorings ) used to serve Southam cement works.

A Glider is a heavier-than-air craft that is supported in flight by the dynamic reaction of the air against its lifting surfaces, and whose free flight does not depend on an engine.

The lifting force was so great that they lost control of their craft on its very first test flight on 14 December 1782.

This and the initial civilian designs were done under the Soviet Chief Designer Sergei Pavlovich Korolev, who did not live to see the craft take flight.

According to the Encyclopædia Britannica, the first successful monoplane flight was on 18 March 1906, covering just 12 m ( 40 feet ) at Montesson, France in a craft fashioned by Traian Vuia, a Romanian inventor.

Although all airplanes fly through ground effect at some point, craft that do so in a dedicated manner are designed in such a way that their wings are normally unable to take them into flight out of ground effect ( free flight ).

The craft had no landing gear, the plan being to descend into the water after demonstrating flight which if successful would entail a partial, if not total, rebuilding of the machine.

The equipment deck at the base of the craft held the battery, transponder, flight programmer, inertial reference unit ( IRU ), Canopus star tracker, command decoder, multiplex encoder, traveling wave tube amplifier ( TWTA ), and the photographic system.

Recovering from the dive and the resumption of severe buffeting once subsonic flight was resumed would have been very likely to damage the craft terminally.

Experiments with gliders provided the groundwork for heavier-than-air craft, and by the early 20th century advances in engine technology and aerodynamics made controlled, powered flight possible for the first time.

On May 6, 1896, Langley's Aerodrome No. 5 made the first successful sustained flight of an unpiloted, engine-driven heavier-than-air craft of substantial size.

Of all circumlunar Zond craft launches, Zond 7 would have been the first to make a safe flight for a crew had it been manned.

Early in the flight, the crew noticed the craft gradually yawing left:

Amphibious transport docks perform the mission of amphibious transports, amphibious cargo ships, and the older LPDs by incorporating both a flight deck and a well deck that can be ballasted and deballasted to support landing craft or amphibious vehicles.

However, the chosen margins on the design of the heat shield and the thermal loads it can withstand are such that the burn-up scenario is unlikely, and even the worst case density variations certainly are not such that, given the steep entry flight path angle at entry, the craft could conceivably have left the atmosphere again ( see also Section 6. 1 of the Inquiry Report, which states explicitly: " the Commission concludes that deviation of the atmospheric entry conditions is not a probable failure mode of the mission ");

* January 11 – 13 – Max Anderson and Don Ida make a failed attempt to circumnavigate the world by balloon, although their craft, the Jules Verne, makes a flight of 2, 900 miles ( 4, 667 km ) from Luxor, Egypt, to New Delhi, India, in 48 hours before they give up.

While the craft was found to handle " heavily " on takeoff, and required rather longer take-off distances than expected, 5 August 1914 was selected as the trans-Atlantic flight date.
