Kinetic Flight: To break the system of gasoline by studying the Flight of the Seagull.
A draft created by the trim as the wing both gives and pulls to the body of method should enhance deep Space flight to create the speed of light at the narrow price of returns. To engage the thoughts of more to carry to a planet would also inhabit the ability to tow a trailer with supplies. These characteristics for NASA and or for the the flight of Domestic Airlines would bring the cost to the vehicle itself. The weight would have to be in the wing as the mechanics would allow the harness to alter the carriage and not bind the body of the vehicle to tact. A wind on that would not bridle any particular vehicle.
To gravity:
The basis of our atmosphere or that of any planet is on the swell of the environment of the Planets inhabitants. To unknown the gentle or fragile entry to not despair the native enviroment must be considered as NASA would be able to practice on our moon. Perhaps the structure of said vehicle should consider not the current method of metals but look into a future made product: Adamantine glue as used in India for the Ancient Temples; https://www.slideshare.net/ashoknene/building-materials-of-ancient-india
To understand soil as the Aztec understood a mountain rain or as the Roman built 'The Baths' is to comprehend both 'Pressure and Time'. In the archaic glib such maintenance from the need to protect the slip. These basic drawn pictures will be worked upon the dirt that granite is to crumbly and gold to soft. A diamond to hard and silver to transparent causing the shine to increase reflection thus increasing the burn. What may bring to technology today is the ability to transcribe nothing as that is common era, what would march envelope is stucco and the brass. Navigation from maps is all fine and dandy however opening the cast of staffed to the idea of travel is also to journal the return as well as to build upon landing i.e. 'The moon'.
The effect of heat must be considered as the drying aspect is no verb. To silent cold and unprecedented unknowns our ability to make and bring an object (glue) to form as rigid and able to endure is of great importance. So, my idea stems further as the sourdough bread in San Francisco has an origin: The Starter!! This format to the years expected to be spent in Space by NASA on excursions would formulate 'The Cure'. To be advised of native planets and their native products on any planet landed would make building structures more than (>) and not less than (<) in simple mathematics as the source would not be drained but increased. Relate subject to chewing a piece of tough meat, and, remember Nana and Papa by explanation on how the piece of meat while exposed to chewing gets bigger and bigger in your mouth but has not lost its wealth of nourishment. And how that one piece of meat must be broken back down by both chewing properly and the time in the mouth as the acids in our mouth do work too; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Venison
"The physical process of chewing food in your mouth helps to break down larger particles of food into smaller particles. This helps to reduce stress on the esophagus and helps the stomach metabolize your food. When you chew each mouthful properly, you also release a lot of saliva, which contains digestive enzymes." http://heritageihc.com/blog/chewing-your-food/

Quill and a parchment
Feathers in stages of being made into quills
Ink bottle and quill
Quill with stripped barbs and insets of tips
Contents
Description
In a carefully prepared quill the slit does not widen through wetting and drying with ink. It will retain its shape adequately and only requires infrequent sharpening and can be used time and time again until there is little left of it. The hollow shaft of the feather (the calamus) acts as an ink reservoir and ink flows to the tip by capillary action.Sources
The strongest quills come from the primary flight feathers discarded by birds during their annual moult. Generally the left wing (it is supposed) is favored by the right-handed majority of British writers because the feather curves away from the sight line, over the back of the hand. The quill barrel is cut to six or seven inches in length, so no such consideration of curvature or 'sight-line' is necessary. Additionally, writing with the left-hand in the long era of the quill was discouraged, and quills were never sold as left and right-handed, only by their size and species.Goose feathers are most commonly used; scarcer, more expensive swan feathers are used for larger lettering. Depending on availability and strength of the feather, as well as quality and characteristic of the line wanted by the writer, other feathers used for quill-pen making include those from the crow, eagle, owl, hawk, and turkey. On a true quill, the barbs are stripped off completely on the trailing edge. (The pinion for example only has significant barbs on one side of the barrel.) Later, a fashion developed for stripping partially and leaving a decorative top of a few barbs. The fancy, fully plumed quill is mostly a Hollywood invention and has little basis in reality. Most, if not all, manuscript illustrations of scribes show a quill devoid of decorative barbs, or at least mostly stripped.[1]
Uses
Quill pens were used to write the vast majority of medieval manuscripts, including the Magna Carta and the Declaration of Independence. Quill pens are still used today mainly by professional scribes and calligraphers.Quills are also used as the plectrum material in string instruments, particularly the harpsichord.[2]
History
Sharpening a quill
Quill pens were the instrument of choice during the medieval era due to their compatibility with parchment and vellum. Before this the reed pen had been used, but a finer letter was achieved on animal skin using a cured quill. Other than written text, they were often used to create figures, decorations, and images on manuscripts, although many illuminators and painters preferred fine brushes for their work. The variety of different strokes in formal hands was accomplished by good penmanship as the tip was square cut and rigid, exactly as it is today with modern steel pens.
It was much later, in the 1600s, with the increased popularity of writing, especially in the copperplate script promoted by the many printed manuals available from the 'Writing Masters', that quills became more pointed and flexible.
According to the Supreme Court Historical Society, 20 goose-quill pens, neatly crossed, are placed at the four counsel tables each day the U.S. Supreme Court is in session; "most lawyers appear before the Court only once, and gladly take the quills home as souvenirs."[3] This has been done since the earliest sessions of the Court.[4]
Quills are denominated from the order in which they are fixed in the wing; the first is favoured by the expert calligrapher, the second and third quills being very satisfactory also, plus the pinion feather. Flags the 5th and 6th feathers are also used. No other feather on the wing would be considered suitable by a professional scribe.
Information can be obtained on the techniques of curing and cutting quills[5]
In order to harden a quill that is soft, thrust the barrel into hot ashes, stirring it till it is soft; then taking it out, press it almost flat upon your knees with the back of a penknife, and afterwards reduce it to a roundness with your fingers. If you have a number to harden, set water and alum over the fire; and while it is boiling put in a handful of quills, the barrels only, for a minute, and then lay them by.[6]An accurate account of the Victorian process by William Bishop, from researches with one of the last London quill dressers, is recorded in the Calligrapher's Handbook cited on this page.
Today
Line art representation of a quill pen
Following the decline of the quill in the 1820s, after the introduction of the maintenance-free, mass-produced steel dip nib by John Mitchell, knives were still manufactured but became known as desk knives, stationery knives or latterly as the name stuck "pen" knives.
A "pen" knife by contrast has two flat sides. This distinction is not recognised by modern traders, dealers or collectors, who define a quill knife as any small knife with a fixed or hinged blade, including such items as ornamental fruit knives.
Music
Plectra for psalteries and lutes can be cut similarly to writing pens. The rachis, the portion of the stem between the barbs, not the calamus, of the primary flight feathers of birds of the crow family was preferred for harpsichords. In modern instruments, plastic is more common, but they are often still called "quills".[2] The lesiba uses a quill attached to a string to produce sound.See also
