Description | Explore the social and economic factors as well as the engineering innovations that have driven—and continue to drive—both higher and faster commercial flight, in this interactive produced by WGBH and The Documentary Group. The first part of the interactive focuses on high-altitude flight. Using diagrams, infographics, and still images, it describes the benefits of flying higher with respect to safety, comfort, and fuel efficiency. It also explains the technological breakthroughs, namely in cabin pressurization and jet propulsion, that have enabled higher flight. The second part focuses on faster flight and, in particular, the challenges in aerodynamics, propulsion, and materials that manufacturers face as they seek to deliver new generations of high-speed passenger airplanes capable of supersonic (and even hypersonic!) flight. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
