Project-1: Powertrain for aircraft in runways
What is an Aircraft? An aircraft is a vehicle that is able to fly by gaining support from the air. It counters the force of gravity by using either static lift or by using the dynamic lift of an air foil, or in a few cases the downward thrust from jet engines. Common examples of aircraft include airplanes, helicopters,…
