"Mars" by Gustav Holst (in his "The Planets" orchestral suite)
Name that planet... tune.
|
Hydrogen and nitrogen.
Hydrazine consists of these two chemical elements.
|
Wilbur and Orville Wright.
The first successful airplane was built and tested by these brothers in 1903.
|
Dr. Jeanette Epps
This UMD aerospace engineering alumna is currently a NASA astronaut.
|
Rock-et-Roll
A new music genre, or a great way to evenly distribute solar heating through angular displacement.
|
|
Pull Up
What should you do when you hear this noise?
|
Pressure, direction of flow (one or both acceptable)
These stay constant across a slip line.
|
Bell X-1
This airplane was the first to achieve supersonic on October 14, 1947.
|
James Webb Space Telescope
This telescope was launched into space in late December 2021.
|
Rock Kit Science.
The children of geologists love to do this kind of mail-order science.
|
|
Permission to enter (doorbell)
For fans of the Star Trek universe, this sound asks what?
|
1.4
The adiabatic ratio for an ideal, diatomic gas at STP.
|
X-15
This plane was part of NASA and US Air Force research flights and was the first to pass the Karman line.
|
ENAE432 - Control of Aerospace Systems
This UMD aerospace engineering class features bode plots of transfer functions.
|
The Rocket Rockettes ("The Rockettes" also acceptable)
You'll kick yourself when you hear about these fiery Radio City Music Hall additions.
|
|
"Supersonic" is in the title.
"Supersonic" by Oasis "Supersonic" by Skrillex et al. "Supersonic" by Bad Religion "Supersonic Rocket Ship" by The Kinks
What do these songs all share in common?
|
Mach diamonds.
A nozzle engineer’s wealth does not increase when these exhausting awe-inspiring status symbols appear.
|
R4D-5 Douglas Skytrain
This airplane was the first ever to land on Antarctica.
|
Artemis
This NASA program's goal is to send humans back on the moon.
|
Rocket-by, Baby
Legend has it, Robert Goddard's mother sang this lullaby to put him to sleep.
|
|
"Jingle Bells" by James Lord Pierpont (during the NASA Gemini 6A space flight.) Admittedly, about a land-based vehicle, but kind of about Santa's sleigh...
On December 16th, 1965, this 1857 tune (sort of) about another type of mythical aerospace vehicle became the first to play in space.
|
Helium (in fuel lines). It sublimed while LOX/Hydrogen emptied to keep pressure, and thus flow, constant. Totally inert and safe for pets and children. Okay, maybe not pets and children.
"Pogoing", an jerking axial oscillation, is an undesirable effect that can lead to catastrophic failure, but don't squeal about it! The Saturn V engineers lifted themselves above failure with this noble solution.
|
Curtiss Model D biplane
Pilot Eugene Ely flew this airplane while carrying out the first takeoff and landing on a ship in 1911.
|
Bede BD-5J Microjet
This holds the Guinness World Record of being the smallest jet ever.
|
Rocket-Tree.
Not to throw shade, but rocketry usually just becomes ______-______.
