Newton to Stalingrad

  • Principia first published

    Principia first published
    Isaac Newton's book Principia (Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy) was first published in 1687. It states the three laws of motions, which is used to explain and investigate the motion of many physical objects.
  • Balloning

    Balloning
    "Balloning" as they called it triggered people to start thinking about the creation of planes and motorized aircrafts. It also uses one of Newtons laws of motion from principia that states every action has an equal or opposite reaction.
  • How Inertia Effects The Making Of Aircrafts

    How Inertia Effects The Making Of Aircrafts
    After balloning advanced, the first plane used Issac Newtons first law of Motion Inerta has been in mind while bulding all aircrafts. If the velocity of an object is zero, then it remains at rest, however if an additional external force is applied, the velocity changes. The four forces in aircrafts all are corresponding with this law, however when bulding the plane, thrust is used the most. The weight of anything determins the balence of the drag, and also the acceleration.
  • Lighter Engines

    Lighter Engines
    Frederick Brant Rentschler designed the air cooled engine, which in relation to Newton's first law and the force of weight. Fredrick knew aircrafts needed lighter-weight engines to balence the drag.
  • Improvement To Aircrafts For Stalingrad

    Improvement To Aircrafts For Stalingrad
    Semyon Alexseyevich Lavochkin transformed the combat aircraft La-5 by using an extremely lighter engine, which like in the past was influenced by knowing the first law of motion and how weight effects motion. He also gave the aircraft less resistance in the front section of the two seater, making it one of the best Soviet fighters of the entire battle.
  • The Battle Of Stalingrad

    The Battle Of Stalingrad
    From August 23, 1942 to February 2, 1943, Germany fought the Soviet Union in Stalingrad, Russia. It was part of the Eastern front in World War two. In this battle, German Luftwaffe (Aka Germany's airforce) used the most technologically advanced aircraft to attack Stalingrad, and the Soviet Union combated them with their best planes.
