06/01/2011 - Started Research into Possible Future Developments - 2 Hours
Researched into possible future developments that may happen to commercial jet aircrafts in the up coming years. During this two hour period I looked into the environmental damage that jet aircrafts have on the atmosphere. I researched into how much damage jet aircrafts cause to the environment. As well as finding out what damages the atmosphere, I looked up possible future developments/solutions that can minimise the damage that jet aircrafts cause.
30/12/2010 - Continued Research on Air Safety - 3 Hours
Continued research into air safety. I looked into terrorism especially 9/11 and how that had an impact on the safety on commercial jet aircraft. From my research findings, I discovered that 9/11 did have an influence on air safety. Once the incident happened, they had stricter security schemes and set new laws done to avoid something like that happening again. As well as terrorism, I also touched on the evacuation and navigations of commercial airplanes.
16/12/2010 - Continued Research on Commercial Aviation - 2 Hours
Researched in short and long haul flights and what arlines come under each of them. For example, EasyJet specailise in short haul flights whereas Virgin Alantic are known for their long haul flights. As well as looking into different types of flights, I also researched into a number of notable aircrafts (landmarks) and how their interior features such as first class have changed since the twentieth century.
09/12/2010 - Began Research - 3 Hours
Started research on general commercial jet aircraft. I researched in to the two main aviaiton manufacturers Boeing and Airbus. I found out how they had a impact on the safety and devlopment of commercial jet aircraft. I also discovered what they are currently developing/working on now which will be launched in the market in the future.
25/11/2010 - Started to develop Gantt chart - 1 hour
I started to begin my Gantt chart that will help me manage my time throughout the project. The Gantt chart will allow me to structure my project and break down tasks. This tool will be very effective when I am planning my time for my planned research. Researching is one of the most important elements of the project and it is vital that I have enough time to research in different topic that relates to my project title and what mind map. A Gantt chart is an effective tool which will also help me achieve my personal targets and objectives.
25/11/2010 - Completed 'Planning Review' section in documentation - 1 hour
In this section I planned the next steps in my planned research. I touched on the use of a delious accout, mind maps, gantt charts and blogging. This section has also allowed me to be organise and know what research I need to carry out in the coming months. It is important that I plan my time well so I have a enough time to research in all areas associated with my project. I will use a Gantt chart that has been converted from my mind map to help with my time management and make sure I spend the same amount of time on different areas of my project.
