Bernoulli's Principle

Hey, what is up folks hope you all are having a wonderful day. On today's blog, we will discuss a very basic topic that most of us have already learned back in school, BERNOULLI'S PRINCIPLE. So, without any further ado, let's get straight into it, shall we? 

Alright, so in fluid dynamics, Bernoulli's Principle states that an increase in the speed of a fluid co-occurs with a decrease in static pressure or a decrease in the fluid's potential energy and vice-versa. A quick note air-flow is treated as a fluid. Now, let's understand what all the fuss about. To do so we're gonna take the help of a VENTURI TUBE.
Alright, folks so this what a venturi tube looks like. So let's start from the extreme left of the tube, we can see it has a large area of cross-section facilitating the flow of the fluid with HIGH PRESSURE and LOW SPEED. As we move towards the right we can see the tube converging into an area with a much smaller cross-section, and it is due to this constriction we see an INCREASE in SPEED and a DECREASE in PRESSURE. As we move more towards the right, we can see the tube diverging into an area with a larger cross-section area and thus the HIGH PRESSURE and LOW SPEED.

Hope this article helped you understand a fundamental principle that we will be referring to time and again in the future blogs; until then keep dreaming big, and this is your Soaring Pilot signing off 🛫💖.

The First Step

Hey there folks, hope you all are having a wonderful day. In this blog, I am going to give you a basic intro about all the topics an aspiring/trainee pilot must learn in order to clear the DGCA exams and get their CPL licence.  For any of you thinking of starting a career as a pilot, you need to clear a total to 5 exams in addition to 200hrs of flying experience. These 5 exams are on 5 very important subjects that a pilot needs to be extremely well versed in to ensure the safety of himself and the entire crew.  The 5 subjects are namely: Meteorology Air Regulation Navigation Technical General Radio Telephony Restricted (Aeronautical) or RTR-A The first 4 exams are conducted by DGCA which is the Directorate General of Civil Aviation. It is the regulatory body in India. The exam for the RTR-A is conducted by WPC i.e. the Wireless Planning Coordination Wing, the process for this exam is a bit more complicated so we will discuss that in the future blogs. As of right now, we will b...

Introduction to Jet Engines

Hey what is up folks, hope you all are doing well. So the wait is finally over. We are going to start with the first topic of our primary curriculum, JET ENGINES . With this blog, I want to introduce you all to the basics of jet engines. So without any further ado, let's get straight into it, shall we?  The above picture is a cross-sectional diagram of a JET ENGINE also known as a GAS TURBINE ENGINE . A jet engine generates power in 4 stages: Induction: This is air being sucked into the engine through the air intake. Compression: This is air being compressed by the compressors to increase the pressure and decrease air volume. Combustion: The addition of fuel to the air creates an air-fuel mixture, burnt in the combustion chamber. This combustion causes a rise in volume at a constant pressure. Exhaust: In this stage, the hot gasses generated by combustion pass through the turbine. The hot gasses passing through the turbine make it rotate, which facilitates the rotation of the compre...
