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.

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 antistatic bags, and assemble all the accompanying manuals.

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.

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.

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

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 modulatordemodulator.

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.
