Flight is the process by which an object moves either through the air, or movement beyond earth's atmosphere (as in the case of spaceflight), by generating lift, propulsive thrust or aerostatically using buoyancy, or by simple ballistic movement.

Types

Buoyant flight

Humans, although not apparently other animals, have managed to construct lighter than air vehicles that fly due to their buoyancy in air.

Gliding versus powered flight

Some things that fly are not pushed forwards through the air and can only glide, for example flying squirrels, this is termed gliding. Others have a source of useful forward power and can climb, this is termed powered flight.

How to become a flight attendant elsewhere?
Q. I live in Canada and I want to become a flight attendant. But I want to become a flight attendant in Dubai because I am planning to live there, I am planning to learn Arabic in the future too. Do I study in Dubai to become a flight attendant there? and also, how can I become a citizen of Dubai in the future?
Asked by Curiousgirl - Sat Nov 29 12:29:42 2008 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Dubai is the right choice. If you asked where that is the place i would recommend. Emirates hires international staff. Apply from www.emiratescareers.com as far as i know you become trained there. The requirements are: Minimum age 21 years at the time of application Minimum arm reach of 212 cms (on tip toes), which will enable you to reach emergency equipment on all aircraft types Educated to at least high school standard Medically fit to meet aircrew requirements Fluent in written and spoken English (fluency in another language is an asset) Previous experience in the service/hospitality industry is an advantage. If you work for emirates this would be what you will get A three year renewable contract A tax-free starting salary of AED 3, [cont.]

Do you have to take an outbound flight to validate the return flight?
Q. What I mean is, if I need to change an outbound flight, and because it is a non refundable cheap fare I need to book another one, will my existing return fare still be valid, or will the airline assume that because I never got on the original flight I don't need the return... Thank you!
Asked by Tracy K - Tue Oct 9 11:36:36 2007 - - 8 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Now this one makes me angry at the airlines. If you dont take the outward part of a return ticket, their computer cancels your return part automatically. I have even had trouble when the airline has rerouted me outbound and I found the return part "cancelled". If that ever happens keep all boarding cards and documentation to fuel your fight. Just last year I had to book 2 separate tickets, one to get to London and another to get to Bucharest. My first airline let me down so I didnt make London but I made Madrid instead and when I spoke to the second airline for Bucharest, they could not change my original ticket but sold me a couple of new one way tickets from Madrid to Bucharest saying that I could reconfirm the return Bucharest to… [cont.]

Aviation refers to flying using aircraft, machines designed by humans for atmospheric flight. More generally, the term also describes the activities, industries, and regulatory bodies associated with aircraft.
