Aeronautics & Aviation

About This Group

This group is designed for everything aeronautical: wartime aircraft, space exploration, hot air balloons, everything and anything to related to flight. Open to photographs and art as well as writing of all sorts: articles, stories and poems. Any images not following the guidelines will automatically be removed without notification.

Synoposis: Aeronautics is the science involved with the study, design, and manufacture of flight-capable machines, or the techniques of operating aircraft. While the term—literally meaning “sailing the air”—originally referred solely to the science of operating the aircraft, it has since been expanded to include technology, business and other aspects related to aircraft. One of the significant parts in aeronautics is a branch of physical science called aerodynamics, which deals with the motion of air and the way it interacts with objects in motion, such as an aircraft. Aviation is a term sometimes used interchangeably with aeronautics, although “aeronautics” includes lighter-than-air craft such as airships, while “aviation” does not.

Please abide by this group’s guidelines:

1. Two uploads per day only.
2. Don’t critique an art piece unless explicitly stated by the artist that they want critique.
3. All uploads must have a “Aviation” theme.
4. No views from aircraft unless a significant part of the aircraft is visible in the image – the only exception is if it is a photo of an airport. Photos of the ground/clouds etc. taken from an aircraft are not acceptable (no matter how beautiful!) and may be better suited to other groups.
5. Any images not following the guidelines will automatically be removed without notification.

Any questions/suggestions, Bubblemail me.
