Breguet’s Formula for Aviation Range
This non-fictional piece discusses a specific mathematical model that is used in creating safe practices in the world of aviation: the Breguet Range equation. By evaluating basic parameters and variables, the derivation of the equation in this piece involves some single-variable calculus. I chose to research and organize this project because of my unwavering passion for math and its applied subject of aerospace engineering. Exploring this deep connection has allowed me to share the fact that valuable, real-world applications of math are hidden. In this case, they are hidden while they protect our everyday lives.
