aerial
aerial is an adjective that has its origin in the Latin word aereus and what does mention of that belonging to or relating to air. By extension, the term is used to name what is linked to the aviation.
The air Transport It is the controlled movement, through the air, of vehicles powered by their own engines or with the ability to glide. These aircraft allow passengers or cargo to move from one place to another, generally many kilometers away.
Among the advantages of air transport, the speed and the safety (despite the fear that the mere idea of flying generates in many people), while its disadvantages are the high costs and load limitations.
A air Line (or airline) is an organization dedicated to the transport of passengers or cargo. Companies that operate special flights and do not fly regularly are known as charters.
The Air Force It is the armed service of a country, which leads the war in the air. This force is made up of airplanes, airports and qualified personnel.
The airliftOn the other hand, it is the continuous communication between two geographical points by means of airplanes, in such a way that the movement of people or goods between both destinations is facilitated.
The Air mailFinally, it is the postal service that is developed through aircraft. It is usually faster than traditional mail, and also more expensive. In some cases, airmail is the only option for getting cards or packages.
Air sports
The sports aerial (also called aeronautics) are intended for people with great physical capacity, with certain particular abilities and with a great sense of competitiveness and a constant search for self-improvement. In addition, due to the risks involved in the various disciplines, it is essential to respect the rules established for each of them.
Since most of them require being suspended in the air, these sports offer a peculiar experience, while collaborating with the growth physical and mental.
Hot air ballooning
It consists of flying in balloons called hot air balloons, whose bag is made of non-porous and flexible materials, such as silk or rubber, and must be waterproofed. There are two basic modalities: airships, which allow the balloons to be driven as if they were aircraft; the captive balloons, which remain tied to the ground at all times, and simply admit movements of ascent and descent.
Skydiving
Fundamentally, this sport consists of falling from a certain height using a parachute to regulate the descent. It can be done starting from a helicopter, balloon aerostat or airplane, and may be for recreational or transportation purposes (as in military and fire personnel contexts). Within skydiving, various modalities are recognized, such as:
* sky surf, which requires the holding of a surfboard at the feet to perform stunts throughout the free fall;
* speed riding, which borrows techniques from skiing to give the feeling of skiing in the air;
* precision, with the aim of landing in a White determined, or in its vicinity;
* deformation, which is carried out in groups of four people who must perform certain figures while they fall;
* base jump, which is practiced from constructions of medium height, such as antennas, buildings, cliffs or bridges.
It is a highly technical sport, but at the same time, social. To practice it, it is essential to soak up a large number of scientific concepts, as hobbyists seek to get involved in the design, construction and control of aircraft, which are usually replicas of existing models.
