 Missing Sukhoi airplane found
An official said on Thursday morning that the Russian Sukhoi Super Jet 100 airplane that went missing on Wednesday afternoon had been spotted by one of the rescue helicopters.
Atang Sanjaya Airbase spokesman Major Ali Umri Lubis told Metro TV that the airplane was found at 9:15 a.m. by the helicopter on a hill of Mt. Salak in Bogor, West Java, at the height of 5,500 feet above sea level.
“However, I have not received reports on the details of the plane’s condition, “he said.
The ill-fated Russian Sukhoi Superjet 100 went missing near Mt. Salak in West Java on Wednesday at around 2:50 p.m. As of midnight, search and rescue missions had not found any clues to the whereabouts of the missing plane, which was carrying 50 people on board.
The airplane was on a “road show” in several Central and Southeast Asian countries to introduce the airplane by conducting demonstration flights.

How to make a balloon fly

How does a hot-air balloon work (in theory)? In a word: buoyancy . Hot-air balloons float in the sky for pretty much the same reason that boats float on the sea. A boat floats because it's supported by the water beneath it: the weight of the boat (pulling downward) is exactly counterbalanced by the pressure of the water beneath it (pushing upward). A boat doesn't float perfectly on the water surface but sinks partly into the water according to how heavy it is. The bigger the boat, the bigger the area of water beneath it, the greater the force of the water pressure pushing upward on it, and the more weight it can carry. Here's another way to look at it: generally speaking, an object will float if it's less dense than water (in other words, lighter than an equal volume of water) and sink if it's more dense (heavier than an equal volume of water). Imagine a block of lead the size of your arm dropped into a bathtub filled with water. An "armful of lea...
