Flight: What is one of mankind’s greatest achievements, has taken many changes, cosmetic and internal. It has transformed from the Wright brother’s plane at Kitty Hawk to today’s modern jet fighters and massive commercial airlines. These days, many engineers strive to increase efficiency in numerous ways, such as aerodynamics or weight, but did you know, that just by changing the angle of a planes airfoil, it is possible to drastically alter the amount of lift, and drag, produced by the airplane? Even though it may seem as easy as changing an angle, other factors like those previously mentioned, pressure, temperature, and air density, all have an effect on how much lift force is produced.
According to Sir Isaac Newton's third law of motion, for every action there is an equal, yet opposite reaction. When regarding a plane’s airfoil this it true, in the fact that while the front of the airfoil is lifted, the accelerated air is displaced in the opposite direction, causing lift.

I recently purchased a car with a salvage title. This is my first car, and I'm in deep enough that it wouldn't make sense to get rid of it at this point. I would like to get collision insurance on it if possible. Really, there are a couple questions here:

*NOTE: I live in Ohio. I'm not sure the answer to this question will be the same in all states.

Can I have a car with a salvage title retitled with a clean title through some sort of govermnent inspection? If so, how would I go about this?

Is there any way I can get collision insurance for my car? Will insurance rates be higher for me?

Anything you can tell me will be much appreciated!

Recently had a small car wreck in which my lower back was hurt. Found out that I had a problem with my spine and had to go to physical therapy. The wreck was not my fault. What do I need to expect from a settlement with the other person's car insurance?

I currently drive a 2000 Focus. It's recently got some mechanical problems that might take over $1000 to fix. For now, it's drivable without any issues. I'm moving to Japan for 3 years and am crazy busy until I leave and won't have much time to get it fixed or sell. We still owe $4K on it. My question is this: do we give it to the gov't to store for free while I'm gone? I could use it as a trade-in or fix it once I got back when I have more time and resources. I would be making $200 payments on it another 20 months. Or, should I sell it and possibly take a loss on what we owe and be rid of it and start over once I'm back?

I have been leasing a car from JD Byrider for 9 months now and my family income has changed drastically. I have been diagnosed with cancer and the payments are just too much now. I am supposed to pay $360 a month but it's just not feasible. The agent at JD Byrider told me that I owe just over 10 grand!!! He says that by law he has to auction the car off and if he can only get 2 or 3 thousand from the auction, that I would have to come up with $7000!!! for a car I no longer own. Please help, is this even true? Is there no legal manuveur I can use to get out from under this? As of today I have to put my rent off for a month to pay this. Am I stuck with this car? I believe that JD Byrider operates it's own auction house, meaning that they could buy the car for real cheap, then stick me with the rest...is this true?

It now only blows out cold air.

Up to recently it would blow cold, but if i went over a bump or shoock the car (breaked quick) it would make the hot air come out.

You could hear a bump noise and then get hot air.

But now that does not work.

Is this going to be hard to fix?
