Over time, I’ve been amazed by how many of you genuinely enjoy and appreciate the little aviation facts, information and knowledge I share! 💙 Your comments and curiosity have inspired me to take it a step further.

So, I’m excited to announce that I will be starting a new series right here on Facebook called “Learning Aviation by Accident ”

With learning Aviation by Accident, I’ll be sharing uncommon and fascinating aviation knowledge in a fun, easy-to-understand way. Whether you’re an aspiring pilot, aviation enthusiast, or just someone who loves to learn new things, this series is for you. It is a series everyone will enjoy.

With time, I hope to expand this series even further to teach subjects I’m strongest at, which are mathematics, physics and fashion designing (pattern making) in a fun, simplified way. Maybe even with a YouTube channel someday! 🎥

But for now, let’s take off with Learning Aviation by Accident where we’ll explore the sky one curious question at a time. 🌍✈️

🎥 Expect:
• Short videos, reels, photos and posts packed with bite-sized aviation insights
• Behind-the-scenes photos from the world of flight
• Occasional live sessions every week where we’ll explore topics and answer your questions in real time.

You all can help me by letting me know topics you’re interested in, things you are curious about and questions that you have lingering on your mind. Drop them in the comments section. Remember no question is stupid or uncalled for. We all learn everyday.

Let’s make aviation knowledge something everyone can enjoy — one story, one fact, one flight at a time. 🌍✈️

Don’t forget to follow and share. Also encourage others you know will find this interesting to follow and engage. Thank you.

We’ve all heard someone say, ‘They flew in on a private jet.’ From private jets to fighter jets, we even talk about jet lag. We use the word ‘jet’ all the time. But here’s the thing: not every airplane is a jet. So, what actually makes a jet… a jet?

The engine you see here in the photo below is a jet engine and jet airplanes use these engines to produce thrust, a forward force that pushes the aircraft through the air. They do this by taking in air, compressing it, mixing it with fuel, igniting it, and then shooting the exhaust gases out the back at high speed.

Picture this: when you blow up a balloon and let it go without tying it, the air rushes out and the balloon zips off in the opposite direction. That’s basically the same concept , except in a jet engine, it’s controlled and continuous.

There are different types and sizes of jet engines. Also, Propeller airplanes, on the other hand, are different from jets, they use piston or turboprop engines, which spin a propeller to pull the aircraft forward.

The main point is this: airplanes are called jets simply because they use jet engines and not because they’re luxury planes or belong to celebrities. There are passenger or cargo airplanes used by airlines that are still jets. So next time you hear the word ‘jet,’ you’ll know it’s all about the engine.

Remember, if you’ve questions or intriguing aviation topics you want me to talk about, drop a comment in the comments section below. 👇

🛥️✈️ Boats and Airplanes are More Alike Than You Think!

Did you know that air is also fluid just like water?

That’s why boats and airplanes, even though one floats and the other flies, rely on the same science to move!

Here’s how:

Floating vs. Flying
• A boat floats because the water pushes upward with a force called buoyancy. If the boat displaces enough water, it stays up.
• An airplane flies because its wings create an upward push called lift.

Sails vs. Wings
• A sailboat moves forward because wind flows around its sails, similar to how it flows around a wing.
• Airplane wings are shaped so air moves faster on top and slower underneath creating lift (Bernoulli’s Principle).

Action & Reaction (Newton’s Third Law)
• A boat pushes water backward, and the water pushes it forward.
• with Airplanes, there is a downward push, and the air pushes it upward.
• The engines push air backward to create thrust, while air resistance pushes back against the plane as drag.

So really, both boats and airplanes use the power of fluids water for boats, air for planes to balance four main forces:
• Lift vs. Weight
• Thrust vs. Drag
In the end, both boats and airplanes use the power of fluids to overcome gravity and move us from one place to another.

Are there any other cool comparisons you’d love me to break down like cars vs. planes?
