Human Factors

Human Factors Class used to be very bored and dull during Cat A programme. However, ever since the remedial class recently, I have changed my perspective. Now, the lesson is more lively with more focus on practical application rather than just theoretical study. Our lesson today is very much interesting and different as Mr Shaharil plans something 'unexpected' for us ...

We started off with building a paper aeroplane with an A4 paper. To make our aeroplane looks realistic, we were asked to write on our aeroplane's name, logo, and registration marks. Next, this is something very cool. We get to try on this "Paper Aeroplane Simulator" on the following address : http://www.workman.com/etcetera/games/fliersclub/

Click on this link and see whether you can fly your aeroplane at the furthest distance; our record: 90feets

After completing the simulator, we put our designed paper aeroplane to fly outside METC compound. It was really fun, and we managed to emerge as 1st runner up, one position behind Vicki's and Nantha's group. Yeah ... Hurrray, Group4

This is how our aeroplane looks like, the Boeing's Concorde ... Haha :)

The aerodynamics design of Concorde aircraft
enables its to fly at maximum speed up to Mach4


This is actually how our aeroplane looks like; a typical paper aeroplane
Does it looks similar to Boeing's Concorde? Hurray ... (",)


During the whole process at the very first beginning, we actually learn alot of Human Factors aspects which cover in our module. The method of learning is fun and meaningful, with everyone is really having an enjoyable and exciting moments.
Hurrayy ...
Human Factors in Aviation?
Complicated but manageable ... ;)
