Spectrum Chart - 209 : Air Transport

  1. Hot Air Balloon - Hot air balloon is the first successful human-carrying flight technology. It is lifted by heating the air inside the balloon, usually with fire. The hot air inside the balloon has lower density than the air outside, allowing it to rise and float in the air. People stand in a basket that is under the balloon during flight. Hot air balloons are used primarily for recreation today.
  2. Space Shuttle - Space Shuttle was a spacecraft which was used by the NASA. Space Shuttles were used to carry astronauts and cargo into space. Cargo such as satellites, parts of the International Space Station or scientific instruments were taken up into space by the space shuttle.
  3. Pilot - Pilot is a person who actively and directly operates the directional flight controls of an aircraft while it is in flight. Passenger plane normally has 2 pilots in cockpit while in operation.
  4. Air Ship – An airship is a type of aerostat or lighter-than-air aircraft that can navigate through the air under its own power. Aerostats gain their lift from large gas bags filled with a lifting gas that is less dense than the surrounding air. Airships were the first aircraft capable of controlled powered flight, and were most commonly used before the 1940s.
  5. Propeller Aircraft – A propeller aircraft comprises a set of small, wing-like aerofoil blades set around a central hub which spins on an axis aligned in the direction of travel. The blades are set at a pitch angle to the airflow, which may be fixed or variable, such that spinning the propeller creates aerodynamic lift or thrust, in a forward direction.
  6. Passenger Plane - Passenger planes are mostly used for carrying passengers from one place to another. They are most common & widely used aircrafts.
  7. Helicopter - A helicopter is a kind of flying machine or aircraft. A helicopter lifts up off of the ground and moves because of its rotors.
  8. Private Jet - Private jet is a jet aircraft designed for transporting small groups of people. They may be adapted for other roles, such as the evacuation of casualties or express parcel deliveries and some are used by public bodies, government officials or the armed forces.
  9. Float Plane – Float plane is a type of seaplane, with one or more slender pontoons mounted under the fuselage to provide buoyancy. It may also have landing gear suitable for land, making the vehicle an amphibious aircraft.
  10. Airplane Maintenance - Aircraft maintenance is the overhaul, repair, inspection or modification of an aircraft or aircraft component. The maintenance of aircraft is highly regulated, in order to ensure safe and correct functioning during flight. The maintenance tasks, personnel and inspections are all tightly regulated and staff must be licensed for the tasks they carry out.
  11. Cargo Plane - Cargo Aircraft is a fixed-wing aircraft that is designed for the carriage of cargo rather than passengers. Aircraft designed for cargo flight usually have a wide/tall fuselage cross-section, a high-wing to allow the cargo area to sit near the ground, a large number of wheels and a high-mounted tail to allow cargo to be driven directly into and off the aircraft.
  12. Assembling the Aircraft – Aircraft assembling takes place in the manufacturing unit of aircraft. Millions of parts are put together by various expert technicians to complete the process of assembling of the aircraft.
  13. Airport Terminal – An airport terminal is a building at an airport where passengers transfer between ground transportation and the facilities that allow them to board and disembark from aircraft. Within the terminal, passengers purchase tickets, transfer their luggage and go through security checks. Smaller airports have one terminal while larger airports have several terminals.
  14. Air Traffic Control - Air traffic control (ATC) is a service provided by ground-based controllers who direct aircraft on the ground and in the air. The primary purpose of ATC worldwide is to prevent collisions, organize and expedite the flow of air traffic and provide information and other support for pilots.
  15. Airport - An airport is a place where airplanes can land or take off. Most airports in the world have only a long strip of level ground called a runway. Many airports have buildings which are used to hold airplanes and passengers.
  16. Fighter Jet Plane - Fighter jet planes are small military airplanes that are made to fight other airplanes. They are often fast, having aerodynamic shapes and very powerful engines for their size. Fighters can carry many different kinds of weapons, including missiles, machine guns and bombs. While fighters may be used as attack aircraft to attack vehicles, soldiers or buildings on the ground.
  17. Rocket - A rocket may be a missile, spacecraft, aircraft or other vehicle which is pushed by a rocket engine. Some rockets are manned & some unmanned to travel in outer space.
  18. Air Hostess - Air Hostess are members of an aircrew employed by airlines primarily to ensure the safety and comfort of passengers aboard commercial flights & on select business jet aircraft. The number of flight attendants required on flights are mandated by international safety regulations.
