REFLECTIVE ESSAY ON THE NEW NASA X-59 QUIET SUPERSONIC TRANSPORT (QUESST)

Image
Greetings to whom reading this. To begin this essay, I’d like to first introduce myself. My name is Siti Nuruljannah Mohamad Zamri, a third-year student from the School of Aerospace Engineering. I am writing this reflective essay to share with you my view on the new NASA X-59 Quiet Supersonic Transport.   Isn’t it amazing if you could travel around the world in just a matter of second? Much to our disappointment, teleportation has not yet been implemented in the real world. However, we can still rely on aeroplanes or helicopters! Air transport is said to be the fastest method of transport. Commercial jets can reach speeds up to 955 kmph (593 mph). Let’s say you want to go to America to see Donald Trump, it would take you quite the whole day to reach there! The total flight duration from Malaysia to the United States is 19 hours 6 minutes but what if you can travel there in just about half of the duration? That would be cool right?  Over the decades, NASA has done a lot of research abou

Reflective Essay on the Remote Teaching & Learning during the COVID-19 Pandemic

Location: Johor Bahru, Johor, Malaysia

Hola a todos! ¿Cómo están, gente? Espero que estés bien. Me llamo Jannah Zamri. As titled above, I write this essay to reflect my experience on the remote teaching and learning (T&L) in ESA368 High-Speed Aerodynamic course during the COVID-19 pandemic. 17 November 2019, the first case of Coronavirus was identified in Wuhan, Hubei. In December 2019, more confirmed cases were reported. During this period, the rest of the world was laughing at China, oblivious to the coming virus outbreak that would shake this sphere planet, Earth. As of 26 July 2020, more than 16 million cases have been reported across 188 countries and territories, resulting in more than 640,000 deaths. Who would’ve known that a single case may lead to millions? Who would’ve known that thousands of people would die because of human’s ignorance, stubbornness, and inferior educations? No one knows, because no one ever prepares for the arrival of this new virus. Months had passed, no vaccine created. Of course, becaus

Good day everyone! How's your day? Due to Movement Control Order, I am sure that most of you are not feeling great for months being trapped indoors. But, you know what, it is what it is. A new norm for everyone, whether you like it or not. To stop this virus outbreak, we have to join forces and abide by the rules. Not for anybody else, but for us, ourselves, our family. Therefore, please, stay home, stay safe, stay healthy.  #kitajagakita Question: Covid-19 front-liners like health officers are hailed as heroes. In your opinion, who else are equally important? On January 25, 2020, the Covid-19 pandemic was confirmed to spread in Malaysia. In December 2019, the infectious disease was first identified in Wuhan, China, and has spread throughout the world since then. Coronavirus disease 2019 is caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) and can cause viral pneumonia and multi-organ failure. As the world has come to terms with this disaster, all people on ear

Analyzing and Improving the Range of Sukhoi Su-57

Image
GROUP Z TEAM PHYTON PROJECT REPORT V1 A challenging task to analyze and improve a flight performance parameter on an aircraft was assigned to the students taking ESA366 Flight Performance course with the primary goal that to offer them a platform to broaden their learning context and window of opportunity as well as utilizing the knowledge and skills learned from the course into the project. This report is basically discussing the students' insight and understanding about Sukhoi Su-57 and flight parameter chose (Range) to be improved. Most of the fundamental context learned throughout the course was implemented in this project and will be discussed further in the report. Students conceptualize and brainstorm their abstract thought on how to put the theories together, so they could methodize a strategy to solve the problem at hand.  This project was one hell of a ride. Preparing for Whiteboard Presentation already gave me nightmares. Choosing an aircraft was tricky. We  picked an ol

GOES-17: OPERATIONAL METEOROLOGY

Image
GOES-17 (in the past GOES-S) is the second of the momentum age of climate satellites worked by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). The four satellites of the arrangement (GOES-16, - 17, - T, and - U) will broaden the accessibility of the GOES (Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite framework) until 2036 for climate gauge and meteorology inquire about. The satellite was working with Lockheed Martin, depended on the A2100A stage, and will have a normal valuable existence of 15 years (10 years operational following five years of the reserve as an on-circle substitution). GOES-17 is planned to convey high-goals unmistakable and infrared symbolism and lightning perceptions of the greater part of the globe.  The satellite was propelled on 1 March 2018 and arrived at the geostationary orbit on 12 March 2018. In May 2018, during the satellite's trying stage after dispatch, an issue was found with its essential instrument, the Advanced Baseline Imager. GOE
