HISTORY OF AIR INDIA

Air India was founded by J. R. D. Tata in 1932 as Tata Airlines, a

division of Tata Sons Ltd. (now Tata Group). On 15 October 1932, J. R. D.

Tata flew a single- engined De Havilland Puss Moth carrying air mail (postal

mail of Imperial Airways) from Karachi's Drigh Road Aerodrome to

Bombay's Juhu Airstrip via Ahmedabad. The aircraft continued to Madras

via Bellary piloted by former Royal Air Force pilot Nevill Vintcent.

Following the end of World War II, regular commercial service was restored

in India and Tata Airlines became a public limited company on 29 July 1946

under the name Air India. In 1948, after the Independence of India, 49% of

the airline was acquired by the Government of India, with an option to

purchase an additional 2%. In return, the airline was granted status to

operate international services from India as the designated flag carrier

under the name Air India International. On 8 June 1948, a Lockheed

Constellation L-749A named Malabar Princess (registered VT-CQP) too

off from Bombay bound for London via Cairo and Geneva. This marked the

6

airline's first long-haul international flight, soon followed by service in 1950

to Nairobi via Aden.

On 1 August 1953, the Government of India exercised its option to

purchase a majority stake in the carrier and Air India International Limited

was born as one of the fruits of the Air Corporations Act that nationalised

the air transportation industry. At the same time all domestic services

were transferred to Indian Airlines. In 1954, the airline took delivery of its

first L-1049 Super Constellations and inaugurated services to Bangko ,

Hong Kong, Tokyo and Singapore

On 8 March 2004, International Women's Day, the airline operated an "All

Women Flight" from Mumbai to Singapore. Captain Rashmi Miranda, who

became Air-India's first female Commander in November 2003 and Captain

Kshmata Bajpai piloted the flight, an Airbus A310-300 aircraft. The flight

dispatch activities relating to this flight were also coordinated by a female

Flight Dispatcher, Vasanti Kolnad. The Safety Audit on board was also

conducted by another woman, Harpreet D Singh. The airline has seventeen

female pilots, including five trainee pilots.

Expansion

In 1970, Air India moved its offices to downtown Bombay. The next year,

the airline took delivery of its first Boeing 747-200B named Emperor

Ashoka (registered VT-EBD). This coincided with the introduction of the

'Palace In The Sky' livery and branding. A distinctive feature of this livery is

the paintwork around each aircraft window, in the cusped arch style of

windows in Indian palaces. In 1986 Air India too delivery of the Airbus

7

A310-300; the airline is the largest operator of this type in passenger

service. In 1988, Air India also took delivery of two Boeing 747-300Ms in

mixed passenger-cargo configuration. In 1989, to supplement its

"Flying Palace" livery, Air India introduced a new "sun" livery that was

mostly white but had a golden sun on a red tail. Only applied to around a

half of Air India's fleet, the new livery did not succeed, as the Indian flying

public complained about the phasing out of the classic colours. The new

livery was dropped after two years and the old scheme was returned.

In 1993, Air India took delivery of the flagship of its fleet when the first

Boeing 747-400 named Konar (registered VT-ESM) made history by

operating the first non-stop flight between New York City and Delhi.

In 1994 the airline was registered as Air India Ltd. In 1996, the airline

inaugurated service to its second US gateway at O'Hare International

Airport in Chicago. In 1999, the airline opened its dedicated Terminal 2-C

at the newly renamed Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport in Mumbai.

On 1 March 2009 Air India made Frankfurt Airport its European Hub for its

Trans-Atlantic North American Operations.Air India is planning to add

Washington, D.C. to its North American destinations from December 1,

2009; the flight starts at Washington's Dulles International Airport and

stops at John F. Kennedy International Airport in New Yor k City and

then flies non-stop to New Delhi Indira Gandhi International Airport.

HUB,SWITCHES,INTERNET PROTOCAL

SECTION 3

Its about avionics and aerodynamic principles

SECTION 4

Its about DSL, router ,dialup connection and broadband connection.

ITS ABOUT ISDN,INFORMATION OUTLET,LAN,WAN etc..

SECTION 6

ITS ABOUT WEB DESIGNING AND RECOLLECTION OF EARLIER TOPICS.

11

SECTION-1 INSTALLATION OF OPERATING SYSTEM AND ASSEMBLING A

SYSTEM

Basic tools

Before you begin building or refitting a computer, you will need some basic

tools:

1. #2 Phillips- head (cr oss-shaped) screwdriver

2. Needlenose pliers

3. Anti-static Wrist Strap

4. A large level working space

Optional, but useful tools

Some other tools and equipment can come in handy as well, such as:

1. Spring action par ts grabber.

2. Electrical tape

3. Wire or nylon ties

4. Flashlight, prefer ably hands-free

5. A second, working computer to swap parts, look for tips, ask for help

online, download driver s and patches, etc. - very useful

12

6. A can of compressed air - useful when working with older parts that

have collected dust. A better alternative but also more costly, is a vacuum

cleaner designed for cleaning electronics.

Preparation

Proper preparation is the key to a successful build. Before you begin, make

sure you have all the tools you will need, secure a clear, well- lit workspace.

Gather all the components youwill be using and unpack them one at a time,

verifying that everything that is supposed to be there is actually present. At

this point you should leave the parts themselves in their pr otective anti-

static bags, and assemble all the accompanying manuals.

13

SECTION-2 HUB,SWITCHES,INTERNET PROTOCAL

‘Hubs and Switches

The biggest difference between using coaxial cable and twisted-pair cable is

that when you use twisted-pair cable, you also must use a separate device

called a hub. Years ago, hubs were expensive devices — expensive enough

that most do-it-yourself networkers who were building small networks

opted for thinnet cable in order to avoid the expense and hassle of using

hubs.

Nowadays, the cost of hubs has dropped so much that the advantages of

twisted-pair cabling outweigh the hassle and cost of using hubs. With

twisted- pair cabling, you can more easily add new computers to the

network, move computers, find and correct cable problems, and service

the computers that you need to remove from the network temporarily.

A repeater is a gizmo that gives your network signals a boost so that the

signals can travel farther. It’s kind of like a Gatorade station in a marathon.

As the signals travel past the repeater, they pick up a cup of Gatorade, take

a sip, splash the rest of it on their heads, toss the cup, and hop in a cab

when they’re sure that no one is looking.

A bridge is a device that connects two networks so that they act as if they

are one network. Bridges are used to partition one large network into two

smaller networks for performance reasons. You can think of a bridge as a

kind of smart repeater. Repeaters listen to signals coming down one

network cable, amplify them, and send them down the other cable. They

do this blindly, paying no attention to the content of the messages that

they repeat.

14

An IP address is a number that uniquely identifies every host on an IP

network. IP addresses operate at the Network layer of the TCP/IP protocol

15

stack, so they are independent of lower-level Data Link layer MAC

addresses, such as Ethernet MAC addresses. IP addresses are 32-bit binary

numbers, which means that theoretically, a maximum of something in the

neighborhood of 4 billion unique host addresses can exist throughout the

Internet. You’d think that would be enough, but TCP/IP places certain

restrictions on how IP addresses are allocated. These restrictions severely

limit the total number of usable IP addresses, and today, about half of the

total available IP addresses have already been assigned. However, new

techniques for working with IP addresses have helped to alleviate this

problem, and a new standard for 128-bit IP addresses (known as IPv6) is on

the verge of winning acceptance.

Networks and hosts

IP stands for Internet Protocol, and its primary purpose is to enable

communications between networks. As a result, a 32-bit IP address actually

consists two parts:

The network ID (or network address): Identifies the network on

which a host computer can be found.

The host ID (or host address): Identifies a specific device on the

network indicated by the network ID.

16

Section-3 Its about avionics and aerodynamic principles

• Forces Acting on An Airplane

• There are four forces acting on the airplane all the time during airplane is

flying.The four forces are

(1) Lift, (2) Gravity force or Weight, (3) Thrust, and (4) Drag.

• Lift: is produced by a lower pressure created on the upper surface of an

airplane's wings compared to the pressure on the wing's lower

surfaces,causing the wing to be LIFTED upward. The special shape of the

airplane wing (airfoil) is designed so that air flowing over it will have to

travel a greater distance and faster resulting in a lower pressure area (see

illustration) thus lifting the wing upward. Lift is that force which opposes

the force of gravity (or weight).

• Weight: The weight acts vertically downward from the center of gravity

(CG) of the airplane.

• Thrust: is defined as the forward direction pushing or pulling force

developed by aircraft engine . This includes reciprocating engines ,

turbojet engines, turboprop engines.

• Drag: is the force which opposes the forward motion of airplane.

specifically, drag is a retarding force acting upon a body in motion through

a fluid, parallel to the direction of motion of a body. It is the friction of the

air as it meets and passes over an airplane and its components. Drag is

created by air impact force, skin friction, and displacement of the

air.

17

Take off

• After taxiing to the runway, a pre-takeoff check list is accomplished. This

check is to ensure that all systems are working normally. When this is

completed, the airplane is taxied to the center of the runway and aligned

with it. The throttle is opened fully to start the takeoff run (also called

take off roll).During this takeoff run, the control wheel, or stick, is usually

held in the neutral position, but the rudder pedals are used to keep the

airplane on the runway's centerline

• LANDING

A good landing begins with a good approach (see figure 5-7 ). Before

the final approach is begun, the pilot performs a landing checklist to

ensure that critical items such as fuel flow, landing gear down, and

carburetor heat on are not forgotten. Flaps are used for most landings

because they permit a lower- approach speed and a steeper angle of

descent. This gives the pilot a better view of the landing area. The airspeed

and rate of descent are stabilized, and the airplane is aligned

with the runway centerline as the final approach is begun. When the

airplane descends across the approach end (threshold) of the runway,

power is reduced further (probably to idle). At this time, the pilot slows

the rate of descent and airspeed by progressively applying more back

pressure to the control wheel. The airplane is kept aligned with the center

of the runway mainly by use of the rudder

18

SECTION-4 Its about DSL, router ,dialup connection and broadband

connection.

DSL is the most popular alternative to cable for broadband Internet access.

DSL, which stands for digital subscriber line, is a digital phone service that

works over POTS (plain old telephone service) lines. In other words, DSL

runs on the phone lines that you already have installed in your home.

DSL speeds are comparable to cable modem speeds. Typically, 1.5Mbps is

the maximum you can expect for downloads. Uploads are usually

considerably slower, but Internet users download much more than they

upload, so the difference is not usually noticeable.

modem: A device that converts signals the computer understands into

signals that can be accurately transmitted over the phone to another

modem, which converts the signals back into their original form. Computers

use modems to talk to each other. Modem is an abbreviation of modulator-

demodulator.

A router is like a bridge, but with a key difference. Bridges are Data

Link layer devices, so they can tell the MAC address of the network node to

which each message is sent, and can forward the message to the

appropriate segment.However, they can’t peek into the message itself to

see what type of information is being sent. In contrast, a router is a

Network layer device, so it can work with the network packets at a higher

level. In particular, a router can examine the IP address of the packets that

pass through it. And because IP addresses have both a network and a host

19

address, a router can determine what network a message is coming from

and going to. Bridges are ignorant of this information.

SECTION-5: ITS ABOUT ISDN,INFORMATION OUTLET,LAN,WAN etc..

ISDN:

1. Integrated Services Digital Network.

2. A digital telephone service that provides fast, accurate data transmission

over existing copper telephone wiring.

3. The fast way to go online

ISDN is based on a number of fundamental building blocks. First, there are

two types of ISDN "channels" or communication paths:

B-channel

The Bearer ("B") channel is a 64 kbps channel which can be used for voice,

video, data, or multimedia calls. B-channels can be aggregated together for

even higher bandwidth applications.

D-channel

The Delta ("D") channel can be either a 16 kbps or 64 kbps channel used

primarily for communications (or "signaling") between switching

equipment in the ISDN network and the ISDN equipment at your site.

20

ISDN requires different equipment than analog dial-up or even digital

leased line service. To connect to the Internet, your equipment should

include:

Network Termination Device 1 (NT1) and Power Supply

Network Termination Device 1 (NT1)

The NT1 is a simple device that serves as an interface between the ISDN BRI

line and your other ISDN equipment. It converts the physical wiring

interface delivered by Southwestern Bell to the wiring interface needed by

your ISDN equipment, and also provides a testing point for troubleshooting.

Many ISDN terminal adapters and some ISDN routers (see below) have the

NT1 function built-in. This makes for an easier installation and also reduces

the total cost of your ISDN setup. However, a separate NT1 is more flexible

in that it can support multiple ISDN devices.

Power Supply The power supply plugs into a standard wall outlet

and provides power to the ISDN line. Unlike a standard phone line,

21

Southwestern Bell does not provide the power on the ISDN line. For

this reason, we recommend that customers consider keeping their

analog phone service as insurance for use during emergency power

outages.

ISDN Routers

These devices perform a function similar to that of a standard router. Using

an ISDN router, multiple computers on a LAN can share a single ISDN BRI

connection. Because ISDN routers use Ethernet connections (typically 10

Mbps), they can take full advantage of ISDN's speed. Many of the most

popular ISDN routers also support analog voice, modem, or fax

applications, as well as sophisticated network management capabilities.

ISDN routers are typically more than twice as expensive as TAs, but they are

often worth the money since they allow multiple computers on a small LAN

to leverage your ISDN investment.

ISDN Phone Jacks

There are three types of jacks associated with ISDN. It is important to

check your equipment documentation to verify which jacks you need and

then order the correct jack. Most terminal adapters come with the

necessary cabling to plug into regular RJ11 phone jacks.

• RJ11

This is the standard analog phone jack, and is used to deliver 2-wire

service. The phone company will often install this jack for ISDN unless

otherwise requested. However, some NT1s required the wider RJ45

or SJA11C jack. The 3Com Impact phone cable has an RJ11 plug on

one end to connect to a RJ11 wall jack.

22

• RJ45

This jack is slightly wider than the RJ11, and has 8 pins but can still be

used to deliver 2-wire service such as ISDN BRI. Again, some NT1s

require this jack and their associated connecting cable with the RJ45

plug will not fit into an RJ11 jack. The 3Com Impact phone cable has

an RJ45 plug on one end for the RJ45 jack on the back of the Impact

unit itself.

• SJA11

This is identical to the RJ45 jack, but is a non-regulated product and

therefore is significantly less expensive than the RJ45. Specifically

request this jack when ordering your ISDN service.

SECTION-6 ITS ABOUT WEB DESIGNING AND RECOLLECTION OF EARLIER

TOPICS.

In the last day of inplant training, we designed one website for c language using web

plus software and published in the local host.

We learned about personal communication software and whats up gold software and

recollect the earlier topics.

CONCLUSION

The 1 week of training at AirIndia has greatly benefited us in several ways.

we have learnt several things besides engineering which include,

but are not limited to the working of a giant organization,

interaction and communication skills, analytical skills, importance of safety

in industry, time management and the most important fact that no work is

small.The training has also inculcated in our professionalism and dedication

to work.. It has proved to be an important milestone in our academic life.
