In this module, some of the background considerations for jet and propeller aircraft performance were introduced by taking a closer look at the different propulsion systems. During the next module, you will apply these fundamentals to your aircraft example and its unaccelerated performance. Nevertheless, since all of your example aircraft are propeller-driven, it makes sense to divert your attention for a moment to introduce some of the application of performance principles in jet aircraft. Choose a jet aircraft to use as your example for this activity. It should not be an exotic jet aircraft, as you will need to find data online for the aircraft. If you choose a military aircraft, make sure you are not using classified data to support your work. Only use data that is available to all on the internet. You will then use the data you gathered for this particular aircraft to show examples of your performance problems and how you derived them.To provide an outlook to some of the aspects of next module's unaccelerated performance, select a jet aircraft of your choice, choose three (3) of the following items of performance, and prepare an instructional presentation (utilizing a presentation tool of your choice - see resources in the Online Tools section) that explains in-depth how to find these different items of performance for a jet aircraft. This will be a standalone presentation and will not be attached to your comprehensive presentation project. Available choices: maximum forward speed in level flightabsolute ceilingbest angle of climb airspeedangle of climbbest rate of climb airspeedrate of climbmaximum endurance airspeedmaximum range airspeedinfluence of weight on performanceinfluence of altitude on performanceinfluence of configuration on performanceYour presentation should be created using Powerpoint or the presentation platform of your choice.

Option #2: Observational Research for Leadership Specific to Gender and Ethnic DiversityThe evolution of leadership theory brought attention to early study findings that identified leader traits based on a narrow segment of the population. As diversity in leadership gained consideration, the subject was often added to the foundation of earlier studies. Western (2013) warned that “diversity issues are marginalized in management circles and business schools” (p. 99). This assignment focuses on leadership specific to gender and ethnic diversity.Leaders in all settings have an obligation to recognize their own biases and observe individuals and cultural dynamics as objectively as possible. Take the opportunity in this Critical Thinking Assignment to practice objectivity in research.This Critical Thinking Assignmentculminates in the form of a management report* based on data from your own observational research within your work environment or community organization. The problem that you are investigating is the low percentage of women in formal leadership positions in the organization. Gather scholarly articles on two leadership theories associated with diversity and especially gender diversity to serve as a backdrop for your investigation.To prepare for the observational research, Western (2013) [required reading] suggests that observers work to set aside any preconceived notions of what might be discovered. Western uses the term “follow the actors” to describe how an objective observer strives to follow the leads of the group members rather than assuming what is might be involved. Also, look beyond the human actors to note the role of non-human elements of the setting. Select a group or team within the organization to observe and answer the following:Who is sitting at the leadership table and who is absent?Whose voices are heard and whose aren’t, and why?Whose values and interests are being represented?Is there leadership that goes unnoticed?[NOTE: if you are unable to physically access a location for observational research or to conduct such observations in general, you may complete this assignment by doing one of the following: a) enlisting the support of another person who can help you interpret the group; b) write a paper on the best practices to employ, using a group scenario that you construct and describe. Address all the questions and requirements in the regular assignment; or c) ask a group if you may observe them using SKYPE or FaceTime, for example. Reach out to your instructor for more assistance]Once the observations are completed, prepare the data for analysis. You might define categories or identify themes based on what was recorded. Then analyze the data according to relevant diversity leadership theories that you gathered, from this weeks required readings, and from the lecture. Prepare a management report* for a hypothetical audience of managers that have a stake in the stated problem.The management report:Include five (5) sections within a maximum of five pages (in addition to the required title and reference pages and appendices). The report sections include:The Introduction of your investigation including a statement about why the research is important (remember your audience!)A description of how you collected the observational data, prepared data, and analyzed for results. Explain why these methods are appropriate (support with scholarly sources)A literature review of the two associated theoriesA discussion of the results and how the managers might use the findings to address the stated problemA summary of the investigative process and a closing statement of what you, the researcher, learned from the study.Use appendices to include raw data, data preparation worksheets, or analytic tools. Include associated citations and reference pages. Format your entire report according to the CSU-Global Guide to Writing and APA.

Using the Internet, and the data from the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), research comparative international work and compare the United States and Canada with respect to which country is more effective in the areas of (1) economic growth; (2) expenditure (public and private expenditure on health); (3) information and communications technology; and (4) health.Click here to access data from the OECD.On the basis of your observations, create a 1- to 2-page report.Your report should address the following questions:After going through the statistics:What information or statistic you find either surprising or reasonable?Do you anticipate the statistics will be similar in ten years? Why or why not?The current structure of healthcare coverage in the United States has a combination of employer-based coverage and public program (e.g., Medicare, Medicaid) coverage, with a large uninsured population. If a single-payer system is implemented where Medicare is expanded to cover all citizens for those who prefer private insurance, there will be comparable coverage under the same range of private insurance plans already available. Keeping in mind these considerations, answer the following questions:What do you think about allowing some people to purchase additional insurance, thereby creating a two-tier health system based on affordability?What are the advantages and disadvantages of this initiative?Considering the fact that healthcare is not a guaranteed right for everyone in the United States, there are different kinds of barriers and obstacles in obtaining healthcare. In contrast to this fact, the notions of equity and fairness are considered very important. You will notice that these notions aren't considered when we discuss people's access to other goods, such as cars and computers.What are these barriers? Give examples of the different barriers to health care under the following headings:Financial barriersScarcity of healthcare providersBarriers to access healthcareCultural barriersBarriers of healthcare resourcesHow would you define the term, "equity and fairness", in the context of the healthcare situations prevailing in the United States and Canada?Why are they considered important when discussing people's access to care?It is believed that government funded healthcare for all citizens is consistent with a capitalist economy and the cultural values of self-determination and free enterprise.Do you agree with this statement? If not, what other approaches do you think will resolve the current inequities in the system?
