Whois & Analysis for bellflight.com

A tiltrotor is an aircraft which generates lift and propulsion by way of one or more powered rotors (sometimes called proprotors) mounted on rotating engine pods or nacelles usually at the ends of a fixed wing or an engine mounted in the fuselage with drive shafts transferring power to rotor assemblies mounted on the wingtips.

It combines the vertical lift capability of a helicopter with the speed and range of a conventional fixed-wing aircraft.

For vertical flight, the rotors are angled so the plane of rotation is horizontal, lifting the way a helicopter rotor does.

As the aircraft gains speed, the rotors are progressively tilted forward, with the plane of rotation eventually becoming vertical.

In this mode the wing provides the lift, and the rotor provides thrust as a propeller.

Since the rotors can be configured to be more efficient for propulsion (e.g. with root-tip twist) and it avoids a helicopter's issues of retreating blade stall, the tiltrotor can achieve higher speeds than helicopters.

"Welcome to the Future" is a song co-written and recorded by American country music artist Brad Paisley released in July 2009 as the second single from his album American Saturday Night.

It is the twenty-fourth chart single of his career.

In July 2009, Paisley played the song at the White House for President Barack Obama.

The song was written by Paisley along with Chris DuBois.

The Moon is an astronomical body that orbits planet Earth, being Earth's only permanent natural satellite.

It is the fifth-largest natural satellite in the Solar System, and the largest among planetary satellites relative to the size of the planet that it orbits (its primary).

Following Jupiter's satellite Io, the Moon is second-densest satellite among those whose densities are known.

Flight is the process by which an object moves, through an atmosphere or beyond it, as in the case of spaceflight.

This can be achieved by generating aerodynamic lift, propulsive thrust, aerostatically using buoyancy, or by ballistic movement.

Spaceflight (also written space flight) is ballistic flight into or through outer space.

Spaceflight can occur with spacecraft with or without humans on board.

Examples of human spaceflight include the U.S. Apollo Moon landing and Space Shuttle programs and the Russian Soyuz program, as well as the ongoing International Space Station.

Examples of unmanned spaceflight include space probes that leave Earth orbit, as well as satellites in orbit around Earth, such as communications satellites.

These operate either by telerobotic control or are fully autonomous.
