Talk:Aeronautics

Clean up tasks

This looks like a cross between a disambiguation page, a series of dictionary definitions and a stub. --Theo (Talk) 15:22, 2 Mar 2005 (UTC)

1. Merge the definitions of 'Aeronautics' into a single statement of the subject. --Theo (Talk) 15:22, 2 Mar 2005 (UTC)
2. Explain the differences between 'aeronautics', 'astronautics' and 'hydronautics' and the relationship to 'fluid dynamics' with appropriate links. --Theo (Talk) 15:22, 2 Mar 2005 (UTC)
3. If Aerodynamics and Aeronautics are different things (and I think they are), move the external links about Aerodynamics to Aerodynamics. --Theo (Talk) 15:22, 2 Mar 2005 (UTC)

This page needs more information to be usable since aeronautics is a fairly broad category. It probably should be a stub. Phoenixflight 18:45, 14 November 2005 (UTC)

1. Give more information on early and modern aeronautics. Phoenixflight 18:47, 14 November 2005 (UTC)

This page vs Aviation History

I can't help but wonder how much this page will be similar to the one that already exists on aviation history to the point where I have to wonder just how much useful information will be found independently on this page beyond a definition for aeronautics. Any suggestions? Andromeda321 19:34, 12 February 2006 (UTC)

Just what I was thinking - I wrote up to Caley's glider before I noticed the Aviation History article. Right now I'm leaning towards a See Aviation History link myself. Feezo 01:15, 13 February 2006 (UTC)

• Exactly... if the aviation history page was lacking in information I'd be tempted to write more on this page, but as that one was a former featured article canidate it seems silly. Andromeda321 01:25, 13 February 2006 (UTC)

Images available

There are some high quality images that sould be used on this page as it expands, here are some for easy picking :D

• Image:Hotairballooninflation.jpg
• Image:Apollo 15 Space Suit David Scott.jpg
• Image:Crash.arp.600pix.jpg
• Image:F-15 vertical deploy.jpg
• Image:F-16 Fighting Falcons above New York City(2).jpg

I am going to add that last one as the top picture for now anyway. - cohesion★talk 21:02, 12 February 2006 (UTC)

Space flight

Aeronautics sometimes refers to flight in space. --Banana04131 01:35, 17 February 2006 (UTC)

Maybe. Though that would typically be called "astronautics". AERO implies atmospheric flight. --ABQCat 01:41, 17 February 2006 (UTC)

caption?

There is no caption on the second image in the article. Could someone with more knowledge than I insert one? Thanks--Acewolf359 (talk) 01:07, 19 November 2007 (UTC)

Abbas Ibn Firnas

I removed the following text:

But long before that, in 852, Abbas Ibn Firnas jumped from the minaret of the Mezquita mosque in Córdoba using a huge wing-like cloak to break his fall, which he survived with minor injuries. This was the first example of an early parachute. Ibn Firnas recognized that aviation was a difficult task and asked himself in a personal ledger:

"What man-made machine will ever achieve the complete perfection of even the goose's wing?"[5]

In 875, at age of 65 years, Ibn Firnas made the earliest attempt at flight using a rudimentary glider and launched from the Mount of the Bride (Jabal al-'arus) in the Rusafa Area, near Córdoba, Spain. However, it ended in a crash and he injured his back. This failure left critics saying he hadn't taken proper account of the way birds land and that he had provided neither a tail, nor a means for landing.[6][5]

Ibn Firnas died twelve years later in 887, at the age of 77 years old.

There were no references included, and some of the information is not pertaining to this article (death, age at death) and incorrect information (first example of an early parachute). Since I can't verify the source, I removed the information, but include it here in the event that adequate sources are provided. --Born2flie (talk) 04:39, 27 October 2008 (UTC)
