Mode of transport is a term used to distinguish substantially different ways to perform. The most dominant modes of transport are aviation, ship transport, and land transport, which includes rail, road and off-road transport.

The Edge of the World In general, transportation is used for the movement of people, animals, and other things. Each mode of transport has a fundamentally different technological solution, and some require a separate environment.

How to Change World A fixed-wing aircraft, typically airplane, is a heavier-than-air flight vehicle, in which the special geometry of the wing generates lift.

Fixed-wing aircraft ranges from small trainers and recreational aircraft to large airliners and military cargo aircraft.

Melting Point For short distances or in places without runways, helicopters can be practical.

Other types of aircraft, like autogyros and airships, are not a significant portion of air transport.)

Air transport is the second fastest method of transport, after space travel. Commercial jets reach speeds of up to 955 kilometres per hour (593 mph) and a considerably higher ground speed if there is a jet stream tailwind, while piston-powered general aviation aircraft may reach up to 555 kilometres per hour (345 mph).

FEATURED STORY

THE EDGE OF THE

WORLD Travel by water often provided more comfort and speed than land-travel - at least until the advent of a network of railways in the 19th century.

CONQUERING THE PEAKS Travel may be local, regional, national (domestic) or international. In some countries, non-local internal travel may require an internal passport, while international travel typically requires a passport and visa. A trip may also be part of a round-trip, which is a particular type of travel whereby a person moves from one location to another and returns.

Once difficult, slow and dangerous, travel has tended to become easier, quicker, and more frivolous in the course of history. The evolution of technology such as horse tack and bullet trains has contributed to this trend. While travel in the Middle Ages offered hardships and challenges, it loomed large in the economy and in society.

When traveling abroad, the odds favor a safe and incident-free trip, however, travelers can be subject to difficulties, crime and violence.

Some safety considerations include being aware of one's surroundings.

It is also advisable to become oriented with the driving-rules and -regulations of destination countries. Wearing a seat belt is highly advisable for safety reasons; many countries have penalties for violating seatbelt laws.  FEATURED STORIES | 43
