These designs are referred to as high-, mid-, and low-wing, respectively. The number of wings can also vary. Airplanes with a single set of wings are referred to as monoplanes, while those with two sets are called biplanes.

.... there is a way that you can experience the feeling that something like this is happening. If you're open to new ideas, and you have a good imagination, virtual reality may be a toy for you. What is VR? Virtual Reality grew out of flight simulation research during World War II and early computer graphics research in the 1960's. In 1965, computer scientist Ivan Sutherland published a paper describing "The Ultimate Display" and set the stage for research on the technology of Virtual Reality. Here's an excerpt from his paper: "The ultimate display would, of course, be a room within which the computer can control .....

.... and various other applications. Society has not fully acknowledged the benefits of virtual reality as of yet because it is still under development. The reason for virtual reality remaining in its development for so long is mainly due to its complexity. The hardware that has developed so far is unable to make the large calculations required by a virtual reality based machine. However, as apparent in recent years, technology is advancing at an extreme rate. This is another reason why society's hopes for virtual reality should and have remained unwaivered. In Orenstein's story, she gives the perspective of the average citizen who is obvi .....

Not all countries have the privilege of living in a democracy and under the Bill of Rights. As a result, the Internet as brought newfound freedom to most people who are oppressed by tyrannical governments, or those that disagree with governments but are not allowed to express it. People in these countries can .....

.... hypothesis that upgraded cable networks can deliver residential Internet access more cost-effectively, while offering a broader range of services.
