Superb
Dont explain very basic topics concentrate on topics which are not available in books
THANKS IT HAS HELPED M UNDERSTAND THE PARTS AND FUNCTIONS OF AN AIRCRAFT
Thank you so much! This helped me a lot by reducing the amount of studying I had to so for my science test!
THANKS I LEARN ALOT !!! 🙂
Sometimes when we go for designing of a very small and an important thing in a big machine, we tend to forget the other parts. This article helped me to remember the various parts while I am designing the EMA for Rudder. Cheers to Vinodh!!
Thank you so much. This has helped me tremendously, not just the term but it’s purpose means a lot.
thanks it has helped me in my one day homework very smart and helpful instruction
It’s Amazing to learn their about Aircraft parts and function.
Tq it is very helpful to me😊😊😊
