Distinguish Boeing and Airbus Aircraft from Each Other


A very quick look into the matter! Carefully look at the picture below:


The aircraft on the left is Airbus A330 and one on the right is Boeing 777. These two are very common aircraft and have typical features of their respective manufacturers.
Look at their tails and look at their cockpit windows
1) The tails of Airbus aircraft make a smooth curve with the fuselage while those in Boeing make a sharp angle with the fuselage. 


2) Similarly in the cockpit portion, the outer most windows in Airbus aircraft have diagonally cut upper edge as compared to Boeing aircraft where the outer most windows have a slight curve on lower side. 
Look at the pictures and see the difference! Comments are welcome!

“Earth Scrapers” on the Papers Now!


The world has inhabited hundreds of thousands of sky scrapers around, some reaching heights as much as 2700 feet above the ground. Talk of Burj Khalifa, the tallest building of the world. Standing at the Observation Deck at 124th floor can really shake one’s legs! So what if these tall buildings were all underground instead of shooting up to the sky?
Yes, an architect from Mexico named Esteban Suarez has proposed an idea of having “Earth Scrapers” which will be constructed completely underground. The motivation behind this idea comes from a local law in Mexico City that restricts buildings from having more than eight floors. 
The newly proposed earth scrapers, as suggested by Suarez, will be inverted pyramid shaped buildings dug inside the ground. These earth scrappers will be as much as a thousand feet deep in the ground and will provide enough accommodation for good about one hundred thousand people.
Architecture has always evolved into innovative trends around the world but this idea of earth scrapers in one of its kind!

Speed Up Your PC without any Software or Cost

For Windows users who find their PCs or laptops too slow or sometimes even jammed, this article will tell you the very basics to ensure that your computer remains healthy and fast at the same time. 
To make it brief, here are some of the tips to make sure your PC works swiftly:

1) Always keep the number of running programs to minimum. Check this from the taskbar hidden icons (near the clock) and exit any unwanted programs.
2) Keep only those icons on desktop which are used often. Always place “shortcuts” on desktop. Do not put actual files on the desktop. A heavy desktop slows down a PC a lot.
3) Run the Windows Disk Cleanup after every four to five days. Windows keeps on creating log files in its directories which slow down the PC. Perform a clean up on the Windows partition frequently (Accessories > System Tools > Disk Cleanup).
4) Use a light Internet browser like Google Chrome or Safari, which will not consume much system resources.
5) Also use a simple and light Anti Virus program like Microsoft Security Essentials. It will give you same protection but with almost no hassle.
6) Clean the Internet Browser history every week.
7) Do not install unnecessary programs. Keep your PC simple and light at all the times.

Three Largest Aircraft of Our Age


As commercial demand for air travel and transport of cargo sky rocketed over the past few decades, the aircraft manufacturers have since tried to make an impact in the market by delivering large airplanes. This article will give you an exposure of some of the largest airplanes of the current times.
Every major region of the world including America, Europe and Russia has delivered large aircrafts for passengers and cargo transport. Three major aircraft are worth mentioning in this regard.
On the third place comes the famous Airbus A380 which has ushered a new trend of full Double Decker aircrafts. With a length of 73m and a wingspan of 80m, the Airbus A380 has come forward as one of the “Giants” in the history of aviation.



Next comes Boeing 747-8 which flew its first flight in February 2008. It has a length of 76m which makes it the longest passenger aircraft of the world.
And the largest aircraft of the planet is a six-engine Russian made Antonov An-225 which has a length of 84m and wingspan stretching as much as 89m. It serves as a cargo aircraft and can carry large quantities of cargo across the continents.
