The stretched version of the 787-9–>the 787-10 is the newest and longest member of the super-efficient 787 families. Often compared with the long-range, wide-body- A350, manufactured by Airbus in response to the 787 Dreamliner, the two incorporate the most efficient technology available. The A350 can handle more passengers than the B787 in a two-class configuration, while the B787 takes the top spot when it comes to fuel efficiency. In other words, the A350 obviously has a longer range while the B787 simply burns the fuel better. If reports are anything to go by, Boeing is now in plans of launching a High Gross Weight (HGW) version of the 787-10-the largest variant of the Dreamliner family. Why would Boeing go for a new design, now that it is already beset with numerous 787 production and quality issues? Despite the 787-10’s range being lesser than other variants of the family, it has played a significant role in the trans-Atlantic, before the pandemic. The aircraft type has also often been deployed on trans-pacific routes such as San Francisco – Auckland and Los Angeles – Shanghai Pudong. Reportedly, Air New Zealand, which is planning to retire its entire 777 aircraft and simplify its long-haul fleet to a single type, has held talks with Boeing for a higher MTOW version of the 787-10 so that the airline can use these aircraft without cargo and passenger restrictions on its transpacific routes to Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Vancouver. The A350 vs B787 The 787-10 has a capacity of seating up to 440 passengers with a maximum range of 6,430NM (7,400 miles). The A350 can fly 8,100NM (9,320 miles) at the same passenger capacity as the 787. The massive difference in the overall range restricts the 787 to operate only on regional or select long-haul routes, with ultra-long routes totally out of the cards. Boeing clearly wanted that to change, which is quite evident from its recent announcement. The B787-10 ER (Extended Range) As the very name suggests, the reprised model would have a higher take-off weight (MTOW) and carry more fuel for extended operations. While the concept of an “extended range” is not new to the 787-10, basically, it would allow: - Easy replacement of the 777-200ER with more than 25% improved fuel efficiency, also not withstanding the added benefit of adding upto 42 seats more - Addition of 60 extra seats for the same range as in for an A330-900 neo. This would tactically reduce operational costs by 17% while also allowing for 20% additional payload. - A noteworthy payload advantage over the -900 version of the A350, with 9 more seats, a 2% lower trip, and 8% lower cost per seat Reportedly, the High Gross Weight (HGW) version of the 787-10 would be a boon for several operators in the transpacific market to ultimately replace their entire ageing fleet of the 777s, without adding a new group of pilots. The “extended range”-a feature of the 787-10 would once again bring the aircraft type into the spotlight after having been replaced over for other types in the past, for instance, when Emirates preferred to choose the 787-9 over -10 citing the latter’s lack of overall range. Furthermore, there are also talks of an HGW version of the B787-9 in the making. The 787-9 has had a pivotal role in ultra-long-range flights since its inception-making 5 of the 10 longest flights in the world. The -9 has been Qantas’ test model on experimental Project Sunrise flights between Sydney to New York and London Heathrow. Project Sunrise is an ambitious initiative by Qantas to operate the world’s longest nonstop flights, which would allow travellers to fly between London and New York to the eastern Australian cities of Sydney and Melbourne. The inaugural flights of Project Sunrise – named the double sunrises which passengers and crew would experience on these epic journeys – were initially slated for 2023. The completion of the 787-9 HGW could help realize Qantas’ dream and initiate a new era of ultra-long-range flights. Historically, rolling out the “Extended Range(s)” version of in-service flights have worked wonders for the Boeing company, which again, is quite evident from the record sales of the 767-300ER and 777-300ER. That said, although the Dreamliner program is shrouded with numerous production and quality issues, there’s still hope about the continuation of the 787 programs. COVER: Rishworth Aviation

Build it, and it will fly Luca Magni is on a mission. He's building an aircraft against the clock. Next to the spectators' stand at the FAI World Air Games Palm Dropzone, the Italian from Varese, has been turning the contents of three large packing crates into a fully functioning gyrocopter. He's been beavering away with a colleague for days now, and expects to be ready to fly it after four days' work. "The aim is to show people that they can build these kits. It does takes a certain level of expertise of course, but it's quite accessible," said Magni, who makes and sells kits like the one he's assembling. Next to him is a part-assembled Aiero 1 aeroplane, designed in the United Arab Emirates. It is also being constructed during the World Air Games by Thomas Hartzdorf and, although it's not a race, there is some gentlemanly rivalry between the two teams to see who will take off first. Hobbyists around the world are responsible for building and flying their own small aircraft with one to six seats. Some are designed for increased efficiency and speed. But even children are able to build their own aircraft here at the World Air Games in Dubai. Next to Hartzdorf and Magni, up to 50 children have been building and decorating polystyrene model planes before test flying them around the venue.

Kittyhawk has announced a collaboration with Jeppesen, a Boeing Company, where the companies have started working toward being to offer digital airspace authorization directly from the FAA into Kittyhawk’s platform. Upon FAA approval, Kittyhawk’s elite enterprise customers will be able to receive digital authorization to operate within thousands of square miles of airspace in near-real time and will be able to send digital flight plan notifications. Kittyhawk’s unwavering commitment to quality and utility means that this will be a Low Altitude Authorization and Notification Capability (LAANC) implementation unlike any other LAANC implementation currently on the market. Starting with their dedication to intuitive design, Kittyhawk and Jeppesen will streamline the LAANC authorization process to be as easy to use as modern drones are to fly. Jeppesen and Kittyhawk’s combined capabilities will deliver industry-leading navigation data from Jeppesen and UAS platform operations management from Kittyhawk, to simplify commercial drone operations. As a global leader in aviation services, Jeppesen provides long-standing experience and credibility to fortify a disruptive, early stage company in Kittyhawk. “We’re approaching LAANC as more than just a faster authorization, but a critical piece to an effective drone operation,” said Jon Hegranes, CEO of Kittyhawk. “Real-time authorization without real-time visibility, enforcement, or compliance leaves more problems than solutions for commercial operators.” Over the coming months, the FAA will release over 2,000 square miles of new airspace for drones to fly in densely populated areas and near airports. This new airspace will be a boon to the commercial drone industry and enable more flights than ever before. Some of Kittyhawk’s enterprise customers estimate that they will be able to fly up to twice as many flights with LAANC versus what had been an up to 90-day manual authorization process. “This strategic alliance with Kittyhawk will help us gain a strong foothold in the dynamic and expanding UAV/drone market for commercial operations,” said Mike Abbott, director, Jeppesen Data Solutions. “Eliminating manual processes through data-driven navigation and LAANC operations management matches perfectly with our dedication to simplifying complex procedures in traditional aviation fields and we look forward to exciting new developments with our Kittyhawk relationship, moving forward.” Kittyhawk plans to start deploying LAANC to enterprise customers in the coming weeks and will have a full deployment available to the public shortly after. Kittyhawk and Jeppesen will continue to work together to safely empower the commercial drone industry with more flight opportunities. Looking ahead, LAANC is just the beginning of larger unmanned traffic management (UTM) objectives that Kittyhawk and Jeppesen have the opportunity to explore as the national airspace evolves Source: Press Release UAV DACH: Beitrag im Original auf https://www.uasvision.com/2018/05/03/boeing-and-kittyhawk-team-up-on-laanc-drone-authorizations/, mit freundlicher Genehmigung von UAS Vision automatisch importiert, Der Beitrag gibt nicht unbedingt die Meinung oder Position des UAV DACH e.V. wieder.

In April, when the FAA removed restrictions on additional flights at Newark Liberty International Airport, the hope was that other airlines would increase their share of the airport’s flights, in the process eroding United’s dominance and near-monopoly pricing in that important market. As it turns out, those hopes were not in vain. Last week, Alaska Airlines announced plans to significantly expand its Newark flight offerings, with new service to Portland and San Diego, from November 2016; new service to San Jose, California, from March 2017; and increased frequency to Seattle, from May 2017. And yesterday, Virgin America revealed its plans to launch extra Newark flights to both Los Angeles and San Francisco, from November 18. The new Alaska and Virgin America flights will be in addition to new Newark services previously announced from Southwest, JetBlue, Allegiant, and WOW Air. Newark will remain a fortress hub for United at least until October 30, the earliest date other airlines may launch their new flights. Thereafter, it will be a lot less fortress-like.

CNN shared the findings of the study, published in the journal Icarus, pointing to evidence that eruptions could have taken place on Mars within the last 50,000 years. Up until now, scientists believed that the planet was volcanically active between 3 and 4 billion years ago, with some isolated eruptions likely continuing about 3 million years ago, so this new time span is much more recent than records indicate. The research team at the Planetary Science Institute found evidence of recent volcanic activity on Mars after studying imagery and data obtained from orbiters circling the planet. They discovered what appears to be a recent explosive volcanic deposit around a fissure in the Cerberus Fossae system — which extends across a broad plain in the region of Elysium Planitia, located near the equator of Mars. The image shows a dark area extending eight miles around both sides of the crack and scientists believe that this shadowed stretch matches that of a pyroclastic flow, produced as a result of certain explosive eruptions that occur when rapidly expanding gases bubble over with magma. If correct, then scientists may have just discovered the youngest volcanic deposit yet documented on Mars. "This feature overlies the surrounding lava flows and appears to be a relatively fresh and thin deposit of ash and rock, representing a different style of eruption than previously identified pyroclastic features," said Dr. David Horvath. "This eruption could have spewed ash as high as 6 miles into Mars' atmosphere. It is possible that these sorts of deposits were more common but have been eroded or buried." "When we first noticed this deposit, we knew it was something special," added study coauthor Jeff Andrews-Hanna, an associate professor at the University of Arizona Lunar and Planetary Laboratory. "The deposit was unlike anything else found in the region, or indeed on all of Mars, and more closely resembled features created by older volcanic eruptions on the Moon and Mercury."Scientists also believe that volcanic deposits such as the one recently documented could raise the possibility of recent habitable conditions below the surface of Mars, with Horvath suggesting that, "the interaction of ascending magma and the icy substrate of this region could have provided favorable conditions for microbial life fairly recently and raises the possibility of extant life in this region." The site of the volcanic deposit is located approx. 1,000 miles from NASA's InSight lander, which has been exploring the deep interior of our terrestrial neighbor since 2018. It isn't the only vehicle traversing the Red Planet either, having most recently been joined by NASA's Perseverance rover. The rover successfully landed on Mars' Jezero Crater in February of this year to begin its own mission. Perseverance is not only equipped with a microphone to let NASA and the world know what it sounds like on Mars, it's also equipped with a special drill that will collect core samples of rocks and soil to eventually come back to Earth. The Ingenuity helicopter also hitched a ride with the robotic explorer to attempt the first powered, controlled flight on another planet. The Ingenuity helicopter successfully executed its flight on Mars on April 19, with data showing that it had taken off, ascended to around 10ft (three meters) above the surface of Mars, and landed again. NASA says the aircraft has now transitioned to the operations demonstration phase of its mission to explore how future rovers and aerial explorers can work together.

John Batchelor and I welcomed back William (Bill) Harwood, CBS Space News Reporter, to update us on the ISS crew staffing situation, astronaut Peggy Whitson and her record breaking extended flight, the research being done on the ISS around life support issues and living in microgravity, plus we talked about the Russians saying they had resolved their Soyuz and other rocket quality control problems. Our 22 minute discussion in two segments started out by talking about Astronaut Whitson who was already the world's most experienced female spacewalker. Given her extended mission aboard the ISS, she will soon become NASA's most experienced astronaut with more than 534 days aloft. When she returns from her extended mission on Sept. 3, she will have flown for 666 days on three missions. Bill had just interviewed Peggy and shared with us many of the highlights of his interview. In terms of crew staffing, with 3 crew members they mostly keep the station going but when the crew will expand up to five in a few weeks, they can resume an active lab presence with their experiments. In the second part of this Hotel Mars program, we talked about how much longer the ISS would remain viable. Bill had much to say about 2024 and later through to 2028. Don't miss his comments. We also talked about some of the researching being conducted on board for life sciences and human factors including optical research for human eye problems and testing out new and better life support equipment. Bill also mentioned that there would not likely be a new US research module. You can email Mr. Batchelor or Bill Harwood through me at firstname.lastname@example.org.

The Federal Aviation Authority (FAA) is giving low-cost carrier JetBlue Airways US$4.2 million towards equipping up to 35 of its Airbus A320s with automatic dependent surveillance-broadcast (ADS-B) avionics in exchange for data on these flights on the East Coast and to the Caribbean. The FAA said the deal will also permit JetBlue to fly a new route to the Caribbean, and could lead to the development of two new, shorter routes to the Caribbean from Boston, New York and Washington. About 25 percent of JebBlue’s flights currently serve the region. Because of this partnership, and the data it assumes will show the economic benefits of the satellite-based NextGen air traffic management program, the FAA hopes other airlines will step forward and equip their own aircraft. NextGen is a multi-billion dollar effort to modernize US air traffic flows. The agency said it even has more money available for equipage in an account set up to further NextGen. “Best-equipped will be best-served,” said FAA Administrator Randy Babbitt. US Transportation Department Secretary Ray LaHood, JetBlue CEO Dave Barger and Babbitt made the announcement at Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport. The airline said it will be installing ADS-B on its A320s in the next two years. It also said it will pay for the cost of downtime while its young fleet is being fitted with the system. In addition, JetBlue said it also will pay for any training needed for flight crews and dispatchers. LaHood, calling Barger an “innovator,” said he stepped up to the plate to work with the FAA on this partnership. Babbitt said these data will give other airlines a glimpse of future benefits to equipping their aircraft for more NextGen advancements. Babbitt noted that this is not the first partnership FAA has had, pointing to other airlines that already have GPS and are installing ADS-B. “We want our partners to know it is better to come on board sooner,” he said. The FAA said the goal of the test is to track the 35 Airbus jets more precisely with satellite than current radar systems allow. That will let JetBlue fly a new route, farther east, along the coast, as well as to use two areas over the ocean where radar coverage isn’t available, the FAA said.

SpaceX's revised filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission shows that an equity financing round has brought in an additional $314 million for the Hawthorne, California-based company, two months after it disclosed initial proceeds amounting to $850 million, SpaceX reported Thursday. The Elon Musk-owned aerospace outfit attracted 30 more investors to its funding round, but the amended SEC filing did not list sources of the new capital, according to the report. Funds raised in February gave SpaceX a valuation of $74 billion as the company worked to build its Starship launch vehicle and Starlink satellite internet constellation. Teslarati reported Wednesday the company has conducted 23 Falcon 9 launch missions to deploy 1380 Starlink v1.0 satellites over an 18-month period. To date, SpaceX has secured $6.2 billion across 15 equity funding events, the report noted.

Investigators are piecing together the events that lead to the death of Troy Gentry. An investigator with the NTSB offered a few comments to explain the crash that killed Troy Gentry. An invitation to take an “impromptu ride” was a spur of the moment decision says Brian Rayner when he spoke to People Magazine. The pilot was having problems with the RPM’s of the helicopter and announced he was attempting an auto rotational decent which is when a helicopter hovers to the ground with no engine power. The helicopter crashed in a marshy area near the runway. A public celebration of Troy Gentery’s life will be held at the Grand Ole’ Opry this Thursday at 11am. RIP Troy.

Proving its ability to react and adapt in a difficult period, the Aerostructures branch was selected in the middle of the pandemic to lead the reindustrialization project of the passenger airstair of the VIP version of the A320 of Airbus Corporate Jets (ACJ), an XXL-sized business aircraft that connects the biggest capitals non-stop. The first delivery is scheduled for June 2021. The electromechanical airstair is around 4 meters tall, it folds and stows in the baggage hold, under the door. This is a series-produced piece of equipment, which means that it is featured on all the models in this family of aircraft. The added value of this equipment is a definite increase in autonomy in airports around the world where the aircraft may land. It offers greater freedom of operation. The production of the airstair is mainly internalized, and relies on the synergy of the Latecoere sites. The Toulouse-Montredon (France) and Prague (Czech Republic) factories manufacture some of the elementary parts, and final assembly is carried out in Gimont (France). It is also an inter-branch project since the Interconnection Systems teams are involved in the electrical aspects of the airstair. Learn more about this aircraft on ACJ official website.

Contact: Chris Bryant STARKVILLE, Miss.—The Tennessee Valley Authority and a Mississippi State flight research laboratory have agreed to collaborate on expanding the company’s use of unmanned aircraft systems for inspections in order to improve safety and lower costs. The partnership between TVA, which supplies electricity to nearly 10 million people across seven southeastern states, and Mississippi State’s Raspet Flight Research Laboratory draws from the flight lab’s expertise in evaluating unmanned aircraft systems, known as UAS, and its associated technologies. “TVA is building the energy system of the future, and we need to use the latest technology to do it,” said David Hill, general manager TVA Aviation Services. “We currently utilize small UAS at generation sites and across our transmission system. This partnership will facilitate the next evolution of this technology, allowing TVA to continue providing low-cost, clean, reliable power.” MSU’s Raspet Flight Lab was designated in 2020 as the Federal Aviation Administration’s UAS Safety Research Facility, placing the lab at the helm of studying and developing safety and certification standards as UAS become increasingly integrated in the U.S. national airspace system. Central to the new joint effort is the utilization of larger UAS, categorized as Group 3 unmanned aircraft, to scale the power provider’s existing UAS operations. Group 3 aircraft can weigh up to 1,320 pounds and fly at altitudes not exceeding 18,000 feet. With more than 16,300 miles of line, more than 100,000 transmission structures, and hundreds of communication towers and properties located throughout an 80,000-square-mile region, TVA has the second largest transmission system in North America. Inspecting its resources regularly, including after weather events, is key in TVA sustaining its 99.999 percent service reliability since 2000. Finding new ways to safely increase inspection efficiency helps reduce operating costs, keeping TVA power rates some of the lowest in the nation. UAS are not presently permitted to operate unless they can be seen visually by the pilot or a trained observer working with the pilot. The FAA and UAS industry leaders worldwide, including Raspet, are researching and evaluating methods to expand UAS operations safely past this present limitation. For example, Raspet researchers are among those investigating various technologies which enable UAS to reliably detect and avoid other aircraft in surrounding airspace. “Future FAA-approved implementation of detect—and—avoid systems will allow UAS to operate safely beyond visual line of site – a necessary step for these systems to reach their full potential,” said Tom Brooks, director of the Raspet Flight Lab. “We’re eager to work alongside TVA in evaluating UAS technologies and determining how they align with TVA’s present and future operational needs.” UAS Program Manager Madison Dixon is Raspet’s principal investigator for the project. “TVA and Raspet will closely collaborate on this research effort,” said Dixon. “Group 3 aircraft have tremendous potential to expand safe, efficient unmanned inspections. Together, we’ll work to ensure this potential is reached.” About Tennessee Valley Authority The Tennessee Valley Authority is a corporate agency of the United States that provides electricity for business customers and local power companies serving nearly 10 million people in parts of seven southeastern states.

Paragliding, a globally celebrated air sport, boasts a strong safety record. The primary factor contributing to its safety is the wind. It’s crucial to monitor weather conditions and avoid flying when the wind exceeds 20 knots. Equally important is ensuring the equipment is up-to-date and has passed international safety standards like LTF and DHV. Partnering with a seasoned and professional pilot is essential. When these factors align, you’re set for a secure and delightful experience. Children can start paragliding in Ölüdeniz from the age of 4. Those below 4 years are not permitted to fly. Teenagers under 18 require family consent. Remarkably, there’s no upper age limit! An Oludeniz paragliding flight typically spans about 30 minutes. Factoring in the 30-minute minibus ride from Ölüdeniz to Babadağ, and time for preparations, set aside roughly 1.5 hours for the entire experience. Certainly! During your flight, the pilot captures moments with a GoPro and shares them with you immediately afterward. Note: This service comes at an extra cost, which is discussed before take-off. There are two convenient routes to Babadağ from Ölüdeniz. First, you can hop on a minibus. Fly Infinity ensures a safe commute for pilots and passengers with their minibuses. Alternatively, enjoy a scenic ascent with the newly installed cable car. If you’re new to paragliding, it’s natural to have questions. Relax, trust your pilot, and follow their instructions. Remember, “jumping” is a misnomer. With the pilot’s guidance, you’ll gently lift off the slope—just remember not to sit until you’re airborne. Landing in paragliding is smooth. You’ll gracefully touch down, much like a bird, with a team ready to assist you on the ground. Opt for comfy clothing that doesn’t restrict movement. Given Babadağ’s elevation, even summer can feel chilly, so dress accordingly. Avoid tight pants and consider layering based on the season. Yes, weight plays a role in paragliding safety. Typically, the limit for a single passenger averages between 100-110 kg. For safety, it’s best to embark on your flight unencumbered. Leave personal items behind. Fly Infinity offers paragliding sessions at five distinct times: 09:00, 11:00, 13:00, 15:00, and 17:00. Just ensure you book ahead! Fethiye Oludeniz welcomes paragliders year-round. The prime months are during the summer, especially July, August, and September. If you plan to soar during this peak period, secure your reservation early. Paragliding is typically a solo or tandem activity. In Fethiye, the passenger is seated in front, with the pilot behind. Helmets are worn for takeoff and landing but can be removed during the flight. Trios aren’t permissible. Risk is inherent in any activity. However, with the right precautions, paragliding is safer than many everyday activities, like driving. Each paraglider has its weight limit. On average, including the pilot, passenger, and equipment, it’s about 230 kg. Most companies set the passenger weight between 100-120 kg. Most paragliding flights range between 20 to 30 minutes. Due to weight constraints, a maximum of two people can paraglide simultaneously. All our pilots are professionally trained and experienced. Additionally, we use equipment that has passed international safety tests. Weather conditions, especially wind speed, are closely monitored to ensure safe flying conditions. No prior experience or training is required for passengers. Before the flight, our pilots will provide a brief orientation and safety guidelines. Yes, safety is our top priority. If the weather conditions are not conducive to flying, we will reschedule your flight to a suitable time. While no special gear is required, we recommend wearing comfortable clothing. Helmets will be provided and are mandatory during take-off and landing.

The arrival day of the Saudis at Lossie proved to be in very good weather. The low sun made the warm colors of the aircraft even warmer. As support for the Tornado deployment the Saudi AF sent a great number of Hercules. 1624 was one of them. Still operating in the colours of the now disbanded Strike Attack and Operational Evaluation Unit(SAOEU). After the Kosovo crisis many Super Etendards had mission markings underneath the cockpit. This one had flown just five operational sorties. During the colder months Tornadoes produce nace vortices while doing their circuits.

Just over a month after the announcement of Draken Europe’s three-year £100m interim contract providing red air ‘aggressor’ training to the RAF on April 8, two of the eight Aero Vodochody L-159E Advanced Light Combat Aircraft (ALCA) are expected to touch down today at Draken’s facility, Teesside International Airport in Northern England. Also known as the ‘Honey Badger’ the two L-159E airframes’ serials N159EM and N267EM departed the US, taking the transatlantic route of Greenland and Iceland, using the callsigns Arctic 1 and Arctic 2. At the the time of writing, both aircraft are currently en-route to Prestwick airport in Scotland. The pair are due to arrive at Teesside at 18:30pm [May 11]. One of Draken Europe's Falcon 20s is expected to depart Teesside at 16:30pm and meet up with the two Honey Badgers for an aerial photoshoot prior to their arrival at Teesside. This arrival matches with Key.Aero’s report in April that the first two Honey Badgers would arrive in early May, the other two airframes (N264EM, and N265EM) are due to fly from Nellis AFB to Lakeland Linder International Airport in Florida where Draken International is based. This is to undergo an ADS-B upgrade and are expected to receive a new digital paint scheme before joining the first two at Teesside at the end of May. It is unclear when the other half of the fleet will arrive in the UK, but it expected to be in the latter term of 2022. The contract with the RAF is to commence on July 1, four months after the UK MOD retired its dedicated aggressor squadrons and its fleet of Hawk T1As at RAF Leeming and RNAS Culdrose. The fleet of eight will provide a higher capability to the RAF than the Hawk T1As, operating a FIAR Grifo air to air radar and radar warning receiver. Leonardo are responsible for this radar and are allegedly not supporting the radar system on the Draken Honey Badgers although, this is likely to be rectified. Draken Europe hold the UK red air training torch for three years with the contract due to expire on June 30, 2025, with the option to extend up to another three years. The latter depends upon the implementation of the the UK's Next Generation Operational Training (NGOT) programme which will cover Red Air/Adversary training.

The Servo Transparency phenomenon, also known as Servo Reversibility or Jack Stall, can be encountered during abrupt manoeuvring of any single hydraulic system equipped helicopter, particularly at high speeds. The phenomenon marks a flight envelope boundary. This aircraft phenomenon occurs smoothly and is not dangerous if properly anticipated by a pilot during an abrupt or excessive high load manoeuvre such as a high positive g turn or pull-up. The factors that affect Servo Transparency are airspeed, collective pitch input, gross weight, "G" loads and density altitude. How does it Happen? Because of the higher control forces in larger helicopters, hydraulically boosted servo actuators are used to assist the flight controls. The maximum force that these servo actuators can produce is constant and is a function of hydraulic pressure and servo characteristics. Engineers design the hydraulic system to adequately handle all aerodynamic forces required during approved manoeuvres. Some manufacturers state that the design of the flying controls hydraulic system is to limit its power so as to protect the helicopter from excessive flight loads. So, with certain aggressive maneuvering it is possible for the aerodynamic forces in the rotor system to exceed the maximum force produced by the servo actuators. At this point, the force required to move the flight controls becomes relatively high and could give an unaware pilot the impression that the controls are jammed. To prevent servo transparency, pilots should avoid abrupt and aggressive maneuvering with combinations of high airspeed, high collective pitch, high gross weight, and high-density altitude. Note that the effects of Servo-Transparency are generally pitch-up and a roll towards the retreating side of the rotor disk. In this respect the phenomenon presents similarly to Retreating Blade Stall. Servo Transparency can be managed if the pilot anticipates it during an abrupt or high-G load manoeuvre. On clockwise-turning main rotor systems, the right servo receives the highest load, so servo transparency produces an un-commanded right and aft cyclic movement accompanied by down collective. The pilot should follow (not fight) the control movement and allow the collective pitch to decrease while monitoring rotor rpm, especially at very low collective pitch settings. The objective is to reduce the overall load on the main rotor system. It normally takes about two seconds for the load to ease and hydraulic assistance to be restored. However, be aware that if the pilot is fighting the controls when this happens, the force being applied to the controls could result in an abrupt undesired opposite control movement. Many of the accidents attributed to servo transparency have happened while aggressively flying the helicopter at low altitudes, leaving very little time to recover. Most important for avoiding this kind of accident is to follow the aircraft limitations published in the helicopter’s flight manual. Accidents and Serious Incidents - AS50, Dalamot Norway, 2011: On 4 July 2011, an Airlift Eurocopter AS 350 making a passenger charter flight to a mountain cabin in day VMC appeared to suddenly depart controlled flight whilst making a tight right turn during positioning to land at the destination landing site and impacted terrain soon afterwards. The helicopter was destroyed by the impact and ensuing fire and all five occupants were fatally injured. The subsequent investigation came to the conclusion that the apparently abrupt manoeuvring may have led to an encounter with ‘servo transparency’ at a height from which the pilot was unable to recover before impact occurred.

You might not realize it, but new satellites are sent into orbit on an incredibly regular basis. Scientists, universities, space agencies, and communications companies are constantly putting new hardware in space, so when the CEO of private launch company Rocket Lab decided to stick one of his personal pet projects into orbit, it might not have seemed like a very big deal. The object, a giant disco-ball-like fake “star,” didn’t sit well with much of the scientific community, but thanks to the wonders of gravity they won’t have to worry about it much longer. The big reflective orb, called “The Humanity Star,” was supposed to float around our night skies for most of the year, but apparently the odd piece of space art is making an early exit. Peter Beck, the aforementioned CEO of Rocket Lab, announced that the useless ball is poised to reenter Earth’s atmosphere within days. When it does, it’ll be met with intense friction that will incinerate it. “Visible from earth with the naked eye, the Humanity Star is a highly reflective satellite that blinks brightly across the night sky to create a shared experience for everyone on the planet,” Rocket Lab said of the project prior to launch in January. “Created by Rocket Lab founder and CEO Peter Beck, the Humanity Star is a geodesic sphere made from carbon fibre with 65 highly reflective panels. It spins rapidly, reflecting the sun’s rays back to Earth, creating a flashing light that can be seen against a backdrop of stars.” Unfortunately for Beck, the object’s path was poorly planned and now the “star” will make its not-so-grand exit much sooner than was initially thought. The good news is that, because the object is little more than a hollow husk, it should be completely destroyed upon reentry, leaving no debris to fall back down to Earth. This comes as good news for researchers and astronomers who were concerned that a “space art” trend could further contribute to the incredibly dire space junk problem that already exists. “The exact moment of re-entry is challenging to predict,” the website dedicated to the Humanity Star explains. “Based on the current rate at which its altitude is dropping, the Humanity Star is predicted to re-enter the Earth’s atmosphere on Thursday, 22 Mar 2018 UTC.”

(CNN April 8,2014) — The optimism that bubbled up over the weekend when an Australian navy ship detected pulses that appeared to signal the nearby presence of Malaysia Airlines Flight 370’s so-called black boxes had subsided somewhat by Tuesday, as continuing listening efforts yielded nothing. Searchers are still scouring the waters, but their optimism is “more cautious,” said U.S. Navy Cmdr. William Marks. “As hours pass,” he said, “our optimism is fading away, ever so slightly.” His restraint contrasted with the cheers that erupted Saturday when the team aboard Australia’s Ocean Shield detected a possible signal from the plane’s flight data recorder or its cockpit voice recorder. A second possible signal was heard soon after. The signals, detected about 1,100 miles (1,750 kilometers) northwest of Perth, Australia, were consistent with those sent by a flight data recorder and a cockpit voice recorder, retired Air Chief Marshal Angus Houston said. They were heard in seawater about 14,800 feet (4,500 meters) deep. nvestigators hope the signals were from locator beacons that were attached to the data and voice recorders that were stored in the tail of the Boeing 777-200ER when it disappeared from radar screens on March 8. “The audible signal sounds to me just like an emergency locator beacon,” Houston said. “We are encouraged that we are very close to where we need to be.” If the signals are heard again, searchers could deploy an underwater drone to take photos to determine whether they do mean the discovery of the black boxes. That process could take more than a week. “Until we have stopped the pinger search, we will not deploy the submersible,” Houston said. “We will not deploy it unless we get another transmission in which we’ll probably have a better idea of what’s down there.”

There are quite a lot of people who are now taking air travel as a leisure choice up from Charter Flights OKC company. There are people who take on flying as aviators just looking to have a great time through tours and experiences. Others are always working on airplanes during their free time and take part in the engineering side of air travel. We’ve got others who gather toys and air travel memorabilia. Along with gathering things, air travel photographers are another group thinking about air travel for just recreational purposes. Despite the fact that it is taken by those engaged in air travel for leisure upward for diversion goals, many end up making money. You can find many aviators who start flying for pleasure and find yourself as guides on tours that are flying. Having flown over specific regions for an extended time they become specialists on various fascinating facets of these locations. Before long of flying for pleasure the avocation becomes an income source. Air Travel engineering enthusiasts also have made money from their avocation. Some have reconstructed airplanes and managed to offer them to collectors for really good prices. Photographers and collectors also have managed to make some cash from their avocations in air travel. There are those who’ve sold things, images and playthings which are considered classics. Though they are going to generally make less cash when compared with another aviation enthusiasts photographers have more chances to make regular income from their avocation. It’s crucial that you point out that, pilots and engineers who get excited about air travel as a hobby can also be required to get permits that will enable airplanes which are flying to legally fly and engineer. The reason being of the protection and safety issues that relate to air travel. Those taking up air travel as a hobby should know about the fact that these avocations can be very pricey besides getting licensing. Those who find themselves competent to work in clubs or teams will find it more economical as they are able to share the prices which can be as an outcome of the avocation. Air Travel as a leisure choice supplies opportunities, challenges and delights that few other avocations can manage. An excellent spot to begin is by getting to understand what type of actions they’re involved in and locating other air travel enthusiasts in your area. Then you’re able to expect to have tons of enjoyment as you join the sphere of recreational aviation. As aerial survey aviator and a bush. I’ve been from An Exclusive Pilot License, Instrument Evaluation through the whole procedure for pilot training through into a Commercial Pilot Permit.

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. – A rocket engine nozzle concern has delayed the maiden test launch of a new private space capsule to no earlier than Thursday (Dec. 9), the spacecraft's builder said. The California-based private spaceflight company Space Exploration Technologies, or SpaceX, was planning to launch its Falcon 9 rocket and Dragon space capsule on Tuesday (Dec. 7). But the company now says it will will need until at least Thursday to make the attempt. "Turns out in the final review of closeout photos, we found some indications on second stage nozzle that we're spending some time investigating," said Gwynne Shotwell, president of SpaceX, during a Monday press conference. The teams are now "doing test and root cause analysis." If the engine nozzle must be replaced, SpaceX would aim for a Friday launch. The company has until Saturday to lift off the rocket, and then must stand down and wait until another launch window becomes available. The Dragon capsule will blast off from Launch Complex 40 at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station here. It will launch on SpaceX's two-stage Falcon 9 rocket. It is that rocket's second-stage engine nozzle that SpaceX engineers are studying. The Dragon spacecraft is intended to carry cargo – and eventually people – to low-Earth orbit. SpaceX already has a contract with NASA to use the system to resupply the International Space Station after NASA's space shuttles are retired next year. Ultimately the company hopes to use Dragon to carry astronauts and tourists to space. For its maiden flight, the Dragon capsule is expected to make as many as four orbits around Earth, demonstrating the ability to transmit telemetry data, receive commands and maneuver, SpaceX officials have said.

Golden Spike, which hopes to land people on the Moon and return them to Earth, has released new details about its technical and business cases. The company intends to complete integrated systems studies in 2014, with an eye to starting construction the following year. By 2017 Golden Spike hopes to conduct at least one of five planned test flights, culminating in a Moon landing in 2019. The first test flights will be unmanned, says president and chief executive Alan Stern, a former top NASA science official. Golden Spike is planning two to three round trips to the Moon each year thereafter, but Stern says the business case will close with only one flight annually, with $1.5 billion missions (or one of the two seats for $750 million). "We think we can develop this entire programme for between five and eight billion dollars, including the flight test programme. And $1.5 billion, that's the kind of cost that countries routinely pay to fly planetary missions and Earth-orbital flagships," says Stern. The flights are aimed mainly at nations with an interest in lunar science but without the aerospace industry or political will to build their own programmes. Putting a person on the Moon to conduct experiments is potentially much more effective than using a robotic lander. "We expect it to be vastly dominated by nations and space agencies, with a small but significant fraction of companies and tourists," Stern continues. A study commissioned by the company says that up to 30 nations have the resources and interest to buy flights. "They're pretty creative with what they want to do," says Stern. The company expects to have $13.7 billion in revenues by 2022, based largely on pre-payments from customers. Media rights, including sponsorship, will be sold to defray the costs.

It's unlikely that humans will call Mars home any time soon, but researchers think the arid Australian outback could help give us a clearer understanding of how to survive on the Red Planet. Mars Society Australia has renewed its push for a Mars research station simulation to be built in the Arkaroola Wilderness Sanctuary, in outback South Australia. The site would replicate a future Mars community, complete with a fake rocket ship, laboratories, rovers and scientists in spacesuits doing field experiments in rocky outcrops. "It will allow us to do a wide range of activities that support the vision of human presence on Mars," the society's president, Jonathan Clarke, said. "We can train people in field science and space operations in the area, and we can do education and outreach programmes. "We would do experiments on monitoring human performance in remote areas, test medical procedures and monitoring, and also develop and test technology like hand tools and robotics." The society has been advocating for what it calls its Mars analogue research station for 18 years, but it now has a better reason for one to be built. It's leveraging off the creation of Australia's new space agency, as well as US president Donald Trump's hasty plan for America to return to the Moon by 2024, and hopefully go on to Mars. "Australia has been lagging behind in the space sector for many decades," Dr Clarke said. "The establishment of the Australian Space Agency is a gamechanger for anyone wanting to develop space technology in Australia. "This makes it possible to look for actual funding for an (analogue research station) from commercial and government sectors." Australia's plans for space In September, the Australian government announced it would invest $A150 million ($NZ162m) for Australian businesses and researchers to join the US's Mars exploration project. "It is a gateway not only for lunar exploration but also asteroid missions and going on to Mars," Dr Clarke said. "It is important we be a part of this because it is one of the big visionary projects of the 21st century." Saber Astronautics, a company with offices in Sydney and around Colorado (US) that makes next generation mission control software, has used Arkaroola before to trial its technology. However, the company's CEO Jason Held said the prospect of a permanent facility - equipped with pretend rocket ships, labs, communication service and living quarters - would be more useful. "I think it's a critical component because you want to know not just what it's like for people on Mars, but how you communicate with them and work with them from Earth," Mr Held said. "Australia has got really good Mars-like geography and terrain, so that walking on the ground feels like Mars." He suggested Australia's research stations in Antarctica could also be used to help scientists prepare for life on Mars, given the freezing climate. "It gets people practising and learning new techniques and procedures for beyond an isolation state and how you would actually do your science at these places," Mr Held said. Mars research stations already exist in Utah in the US and another in a polar desert on Devon Island, in the Arctic region of Canada. They are used by international space agencies, such as the European Space Agency and NASA, as well as research institutes and private companies wanting to practise Mars work. Dr Clarke said while the idea of having one in Australia seems far fetched, it was a good money maker for the state's economy, especially as the private space sector continued to grow. "The Utah station takes about 10 to 15 teams every year and is booked up two years in advance with people from all over the world." he said. "There is a two-year waiting list to get on, and two-thirds of the applications get knocked back, so there is a huge demand and global interest in this facility." South Australia's outback simulates life on Mars The Arkaroola Wilderness Sanctuary is spread across 610 square kilometres of freehold and pastoral lease land in South Australia, and is a 10-hour drive from Adelaide. "We selected the Arkaroola region over 30 or 40 sites all over central Australia as being the one where all the ducks lined up in terms of scientific interest, access and land tenure," Dr Clarke said. Doug Sprigg, the owner of Arkaroola Wilderness Sanctuary, said there had been eight Mars simulations at Arkaroola over the past two decades, however, the researchers worked in temporary structures rather than a permanent state of the art analogue. He said while some groups came to test software and equipment, others had come to dig for fossils and search for microscopic life.

The debris from the SpaceX launch fell on a farm in Washington State, leaving nearly four inches of dents on the ground. The Grant County Sheriff’s Office said last week that SpaceX had recovered a composite-wrapped pressure vessel from the Falcon 9 reentry compartment, which was found in private property in southwest Grant County. It said the object may belong to the second phase of the Falcon 9 rocket, which was launched from NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida on March 4. County Sheriff’s spokesperson Kyle Foreman said his understanding was that ships about five feet were used to store helium. According to the Associated Press, he confirmed that no one was injured. Foreman said that a farmer suspected that the debris might have come from the launch site and contacted the sheriff̵ On March 25th, mysterious bright lights were seen illuminating the sky in Washington and Oregon. The Seattle National Weather Service initially mistaken them for meteor showers, but its informal message was that the bright object was “fragment from the second stage of the Falcon 9 rocket, which was not successfully burned out of orbit.” Astronomer Jonathan McDowell of the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics said that what people saw on March 25 was part of the SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket launched in early March. He said: “After 22 days of operation, the debris re-entered the atmosphere.” Mr. Forman said that there were no reports of damage caused by the March 25 incident and no other reports of debris. The Falcon 9 rocket is a reusable two-stage rocket designed by SpaceX to transport personnel and payloads to the orbit of the earth and beyond. So far, 111 Falcon 9s have been launched, 71 of which have landed.

The path of the ISS appears like a wave on a map because it is a projection of a 3-dimensional path onto a 2-dimensional map. The ISS actually follows a nearly circular path around Earth, but this is not evident on a 2-dimensional map. If you’ve ever seen the footage of an artificial satellite’s orbit, this is what you would have seen: From the image given above, it’s evident that the satellite has a wave-like orbit, but doesn’t it look a bit unusual for a satellite’s path around Earth? It certainly doesn’t seem very efficient! The question is, do all artificial satellites, including the ISS, really have such wavy orbits when they circle Earth? Recommended Video for you: Why The ISS Path Appears Like A Wave On The Map Of The World? Short answer: ISS, just like any other artificial satellite, follows an (almost) circular path around Earth. The reason its orbit looks like a wave is because the orbit is 3-dimensional in nature, but when it’s projected on a 2-D Mercator map of the world, it flattens and appears distorted, so it looks like a sinusoidal wave. Although all artificial satellites trace a (nearly) circular path around the planet, in this article, we will only consider the ISS. ISS Orbit Around Earth Every space enthusiast knows about the International Space Station – a habitable artificial satellite that acts as a manned space station in low Earth orbit and plays hosts to 5-6 astronauts at a time who conduct different kinds of scientific and technological research onboard. Just like any other artificial satellite, the ISS also circles Earth in a predefined path, called an orbit. The ISS’ orbit is located at an altitude above Earth where it still experiences a strong gravitational pull from Earth. Contrary to popular belief, it’s not ‘zero gravity’ up there… not by a long shot. In fact, the ISS experiences as much as 90% of the gravity that we experience back here on Earth. It’s perpetually falling towards the Earth, but thanks to its huge orbital speed (17,200 mph/27,6000 kmph) and Earth’s rotundity, it never actually hits the surface. One noteworthy thing about the ISS orbit is that it doesn’t coincide with Earth’s equator. Whenever we talk about a satellite revolving around the Earth, we generally tend to visualize its orbit coinciding with the equator, but in reality, the ISS orbit looks more like this: It’s evident from the picture above that the ISS follows a circular path around the planet. Still, when the same path is represented on the world map, it undergoes a drastic change to look like this: Why the dramatic change? The Mercator Projection The maps that we saw in schools when we were kids, the maps shown on TV… basically (almost) every world map that we come across is wrong. There’s actually a good reason behind that. You see, our planet is a 3D object, whereas maps are always 2-dimensional. In order for us to see and visualize the boundaries of countries and large land masses on the face of the Earth, we need a way to project all that 3-dimensional stuff onto a 2-dimensional piece of paper. That’s exactly what a Mercator map does. It nicely represents physical features and land masses of the world on a rectangular sheet of paper, where latitudes and longitudes are straight lines that intersect perpendicularly and the shapes of countries are well-defined. However, apart from causing certain problems when it comes to the relative sizes of countries, the Mercator projection also distorts the path of the ISS on the world map. Projecting The ISS Orbit Looks Like A Wave On A 2-D Map The ISS orbit looks wavy because its path is aligned with the equator of our planet on a 2-D world map (for our visual convenience). Below is an animation that will help you visualize and understand this with more clarity: If you represent the orbit of the ISS how it really is (i.e., circular) on a 2D map, then the equator would appear like a sinusoidal wave. In a nutshell, the path of the ISS (and other artificial satellites) appears like a wave because it’s projected onto a 2-D screen, and not because artificial satellites follow a wavy path around Earth.

As I'll be flying on AA 2479 DFW-LAX next week before connecting to SQ 29 LAX-TPE-SIN, I've been following the flight lately. In the past week, AA 2479 has been chronically late -- yesterday by more than 4 hours. There haven't been serious weather events in Dallas or LA, and the other DFW-LAX flights have generally been on time. What's behind these chronic delays on 2479? It's flown on a 738, not an aging aircraft. I'm a bit concerned as to making my interline connection ... should I fly stand-by on an earlier DFW departure?

The US Air Force intends to learn from its own mistakes in the development of the sixth fighter What is known The US Air Force wants to avoid the mistakes made inother programs. For example, when creating the fifth generation fighter F-35 Lighting II. In particular, the service wants to have access to all the data that the contractor will have. This was stated by Secretary of the US Air Force Frank Kendall (Frank Kendall). The F-35 project was launched over 20 years ago.The service then adopted a procurement philosophy called Total System Performance. This means that the contractor has a monopoly on the aircraft for the entire life cycle. Also, the US Air Force wants to avoid problems associated withparallelism. We are talking about a situation where purchases occur at the stage of aircraft development. The service wants the contractor to complete work on the fighter first, and only then can they move on to the issue of procurement. According to Frank Kendall, the US governmentshould have much more control over the NGAD than the F-35. The authorities will ensure that the main contractor and subcontractors use the modular open system. This will allow in the future to attract new suppliers to upgrade individual aircraft systems. Brigadier General will lead the new projectDale White. He is Executive Director of the Air Force Fighter and Advanced Aircraft Program at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio. Last week, the US Air Force openedmultibillion-dollar competition for the full-scale production of the sixth generation fighter. The service accepts applications from companies and plans to sign a contract as early as next year. Earlier we wrote that the US Air Force will choose only onecompany to design a fighter jet. This is due to the high cost (several hundred million dollars). The service simply cannot afford to choose several contractors.

Staying with a wintery theme for today, I came across this old photo of a sidecar recently and had to do a bit of digging to find an explanation for the aviation monument it's parked in front of. In 1928 a twenty man expedition had set off from Italy on the airship Italia to explore the polar area from their base in Spitsbergen. Two successful flights had been made but bad weather during the third caused the airship to crash on the icepack on May 25. Nine survivors of the crew were stranded on the ice, and during the next month and a half a multi-nation sea, surface and air search took place until the crew and various would-be rescuers were all retrieved from various locations by August 14th. The monument commemorates the French seaplane Latham 47-02 which joined the search, but disappeared over the Barents Sea on its flight to Spitsbergen. Four men were lost, including the explorer Roald Amundsen. More details here on Normandy Here and Now page.

In Douchebag Space Travel News, the Two and A Half Men and some-other-stuff-star is the 500th “astronaut customer” to sign up for a trip on Virgin Galactic, the space line founded by billionaire Sir Richard Branson. “I gave Ashton a quick call to congratulate and welcome him,” Branson wrote in a blog post Monday. ”He is as thrilled as we are at the prospect of being among the first to cross the final frontier (and back!) with us and to experience the magic of space for himself.” Tickets for the flight are $200,000 for a two-and-a-half hour flight and require a $20,000 deposit. Kutcher won’t actually be leaving earth until sometime next year, so there’s plenty more time for him to annoy us down here. Of course, he isn’t the only celeb to sign up for the once in a lifetime space trip, reportedly Katy Perry, Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie and world renowned physicist (and stripper enthusiast) Stephen Hawking have also bought tickets. I say we leave Ashton and Katy up there. Seriously.

RC drone Elementary Knowledge Multicopter basic knowledge Multicopter is a special copter with more than three motors. It has six modules, include flying platform, flight control system, propulsion system, remote controller, remote control receiver, PTZ camera. 1. Flying Platform The size of flying platform is depend on size of oar wing and volume of motor; oar wing longer, larger motor, and then the platform will be increased accordingly. The platform is mainly use light material to reduce drone payload. 2. Flight control system Flight controller usually contains built-in sensor such as controller, gyroscope, accelerometer and barometric. The drone is depend on this sensor to stability of body, and then cooperate with GPS and barometric to locking at the specified position and height. 3. Propulsion System Drone propulsion system includes the oar wing and motor composition. When oar wing rotation, it can produce air flow forces to lead drone body flight. The propulsion built-in electronic speed control system then adjusts speed of motor. 4. Remote Controller Pilots control the drone through remote controls. 5. Remote control receiver Main function is to make the aircraft received by the remote control signal from remote control commands. 6. PTZ camera Nowadays some manufacturers allow user to mount a third party drone camera, such as GoPro Hero 4 and Canon EOS 5D series. Recently some manufacturers have also adapted the M4/3 system for aerial shooting (such as Panasonic LUMIX GH4) Cameras are normally installed on the Gimbal on the aircraft. Gimbal is the most important part in aerial system. It can make shooting pictures more stable. In addition to six modules above, players can also match their favorite FPV glasses, let experience the feeling of immersive. What parts need to prepare for DIY quadcopter? 1. Brushless Motor (4 pcs) 2. Electronic Speed Controller (Abbreviation: ESC, 4 pcs. Common brands have Hobbywing, Tatttu, Little Bee T-motor etc.) 3. Propeller (4 pcs) 4. Flight controller (The common brands have KK, FF,ADUINO Open pilot etc.) 5. Battery (11.1v RC lipo battery) 6. Remote control 7. Flying Platform (Not a choice) 8. Charger (Try to choose balance charger) Ⅰ. Flight controller and remote control 1.Usage of flight controller The flight controller is control gyroscope, to rapid adjustment of quadcopter condition. If there is no flight controller, quadcopter will not be able to flight due to flight power imbalance. So flight controller is one of most important parts of a drone. 2.What is X mode and + mode? Above is the different between X mode and + mode, compare with them X mode is harder to fly, but more flexible. + mode is easy to fly, but flexible almost, so it befit for the newbie. Pay special attention to, X mode and + mode have different flight controller installation. If the flight controller is installed the wrong way, the drone will violent shaking and can't fly. How high can I fly my RC airplanes? It depends on the type, the material and the power system of your airplane. Each relates to the other. Normally you will be able to fly it up to 1000 meters high. How far can I fly? It depends on two factors: Your plane's energy source and the operation range of your controller. Normally it ranges up to 2000 meters. But in most case you will only fly them within 500 meters radius in order to see the move clearly. Material of the airplane The airplane is normally formed of the frame body and power electronic equipments. Materials of the frame include foam, plastics, metal, carbon fiber, nylon, wood, Fiberglass and so on. In order to reduce the body weight, foam and carbon fiber, light wood and empty inner or KT broad and carbon fiber are normally seem as materials combination for frame body. As seem similar in kites. Taking off and the wind direction? Fixed wings normally take off against the wind. While small airplanes are suggested stop flying in moderate breeze or stronger wind, due to the weak ability in wind proof. What's a naked plane? A naked plane refers to a plane that only has body frame, not including any electronic compartments. What does PNP version mean? A Plug-N-Play electric RC airplane has the motor, ESC and a servo installed but is missing the transmitter, receiver and motor battery pack (& charger). You will need to supply your own transmitter, receiver and battery pack. What does RTF version mean? RTF stands for ready to fly. When you buy an RTF RC plane everything comes with it in the purchase, including the radio control gear to fly it. Most of the RTF airplanes come with only very basic configurations. Pros & Cons in Electronic powered and oil powered? Early age UAV was powered by methanol or petrol due to the low energy density of batteries and inefficiency of brushed motors. As development of Li-ion batteries and the brushless motors, electronic powered UAVs are now as good as methanol or petrol powered UAVs, plus the electronic UAVs are more easy to fly and maintenance. Electronic UAVs requires brushless motors, extra Li-ion batteries and chargers as power source, these are recommended for newbie. What is a simulator? A simulator is a piece of software that simulates the environment in actual UAV flying situations. So that the pilot can practice the basic operations in flying a UAV such as controlling of the accelerator, direction control and movement control. Simulator software that are normally used includes phoenix RC, Real fight G4, Reflex XTR, Flying Model Simulation etc. How to operate a UAV? You normally operate a UAV with a remote control. Signals will be sent out by trigging the Rocker on your remote control. UAV then will do the corresponding action according to your operation. What is a remote and receiver? A device on UAV to receive the signal you send with a remote control on the ground is called the receiver. Remote and receiver are communicating with 2.4GHz radio wave. Differences between Japanese controller and US controller UAV hobby are widespread from Japan and North America in the early age. Definitions of the function button on the controller are different from then on. For example, in Japanese version: we use the left stick to control up down and left right. We use right stick to control accelerate and aileron. In the U.S version it's vise versa. Normally most UAV controllers are in Japanese version and RC Helis controllers are in U.S version. Ⅱ. ESC and Motor Why do we need ESC? The role of the ESC is to transform the signal of flight control board into the size of the current to control the motor Revolutions (RMP). Because the motor current is very high, when motor normal work, there is the average current of about 3amps, if there is no ESC, the flight control board simply can not afford such a high current (and also it without the function of driving brushless motor). At the same time in the four-axis, ESC also acts as a voltage changer, change 11.1v voltage into 5v to supply power for the flight control board and remote control. Buy high current ESC or low current one? ESC will be marked with the number of 'A', such as '20A', '40A', which mean the current that ESC can provide. ESC of high current can be compatible with low current things. Conversely, low current of ESC can not be used for high current. The specification of ESC The 'A' in ESC is the unit to measure how much current can the ESC constantly outputs, such as 60A, that is, the maximum constantly output current is 60A. Please do not discharge the current over the 'A' on ESC, otherwise the ESC will burned. What is quadcopter ESC? There are fast response and slow response in ESC, and in quadcopter flying, the ESC need to response quickly, so quadcopter usually this fast response one, which called quadcopter ESC. In fact, most ESC can be programmed, can be programmed to set the response speed. So in fact there is no exclusive one to say. What is the meaning of ESC programming? First of all to explain that ESC own a lot of functional mode, select this function is to program the ESC. The programming path can be used to connect the ESC to the throttle output channel of the remote receiver (usually 3 channels), according to the instructions, in the remote control by moving the rocker to set, this method is more trouble, but economic. In addition, you can also through the manufacturer's programming card to set (need to buy separately), the method is simple, no need to access the remote control. Make sure that consistent settings of purchased ESC, otherwise it's difficult to control it. For example, if ESC start mode is not the same, then some are very fast, and some are still very slow, there's something wrong with it. To set the ESC through the remote control, keep in mind that ESC is connected to the motor, and you'll hear the dripping sound, that is, you're right. and if there's no sound, that mean you didn't connect to your motor. The brand of motor Align, scorpion, T-motor in common use, and align, scorpion most use in heli. About Motor model Motor model, each manufacturer has its own number of rules, mainly for KV value, that is, motor code. take 2216 for example, '22' is the diameter of a motor. '16' is the length of motor. Compared to 2212, 2216 is more powerful than 2212. What is the meaning of KV value? KV value, it means every additional voltage, and revolutions of motor (RMP) increase how much. For example, KV 2000 means when the voltage is at 10, and motor turns 20000 times. The meaning of this parameter is: to help you determine the performance of the motor, motor of high KV is violent, small internal resistance, high current, high power, fast speed. Or the same voltage out of the power has a very good limit of revolutions, but it's restricted by the motor's own design and material, there will be a power cap, generally said that high KV match with a small high-speed propeller, low KV match with large propeller, this is similar to driving car. The Model of Propeller Similar to motor, the model of propeller also has four number, like 1040, 7040, the previous two numbers mean its diameter (inch) and the behind two numbers mean its angle. What is positive and negative propeller and why they are needed. In order to offset the propeller spin of quadcopter, the direction of rotation of Separated propeller is different. This why positive and negative propeller are needed. But their winds are both blown down. The positive propeller is suitable for clockwise rotation, but the negative propeller, on the contrary. When installing, remember put the side with words upturned regardless of positive and negative propeller. (The propeller's fruity side is the same with the direction of motor rotation.) The installation direction of the propeller Generally, put the side with printed specifications on the propeller (6*4) forward. You could simply feel the wind, and the wind of propeller is always from head to tail. At the same time, pay attention to the motor steering is normal. If reverse, just exchange the three wires on the motor at random. The collocation of motor and propeller This is a very complicated problem, though theory can be described. The greater the propeller, the greater the lift, which means more power needed to drive; the higher propeller speed, the greater the lift; the smaller the KV of the motor, the greater the rotational power. To sum up, big propeller needs to use low KV motor, and small propeller requires high KV motor (because the speed has to be used to make up for a lack of lift). If High KV with big propeller, the power will be not enough and it will be difficult to drive. In this case, it still rotates a low speed and motor and ESC will be easy to burned. If low KV with small propeller, it will be no problem. But the lift power will be not enough and it cannot take off, eg: 1000kv motor with about 10 inches propeller. Ⅳ. Steering Engine Analog Servo and Digital Servo Digital Proportional Servo is a better Servo type of Analog Servo. If without MCU microcontroller in the Electronic circuits, it is commonly called Analog Servo, while for the Digital Servo, it is with MCU microcontroller in the Electronic circuits. Digital Servo has faster response speed, smaller no reaction zone, high location accuracy and stronger anti-interference ability. The fixed wing foam Airplane which needs not so high precision response, like Surfers and Cessna, could use Analog Servo. But for helicopters, whose inclined plate Servo and lock tail Servo need high response speed and location accuracy, Digital Servo will be needed. The function of Servo Servo can be understood the motor with precise control, which divides into Analog Servo and Digital Servo. Its function is used to perform specific rudder surface changing and change flow, make we input in the actual movement of parts. It is just like when we need to change the direction a boat sailing, we will operate the rudder, so as to let the water change, and then let the boat change direction. When choosing servo, according to the rudder surface request of the airplane to decide its Torsion size, response speed, weight, size, etc. Because when the airplane fly with high speed, rudder surface will be affected by the strength of wind resistance, so you should choose different servo. Usually the servo strength is measured by torque, the unit is oz/inches or kg/cm. Torsion means in setting range, how much rotating force it can make. For?example, the 1.6 kg/cm servo can pull 1.6kg thing in 1 cm distance. The farther away from the axis, the smaller torque. In 2 cm distance, it can only pull 0.8 kg thing. Another servo related quantity is servo speed, which means the time for servo turning 60 degrees (0.01 s / 60°) Why Digital Servo has higher speed? Either analog or digital Servo, at constant load torque, motor speed depends on the size of the drive signal on duty cycle and has nothing to do with the frequency. Digital servo can accept higher frequency PWM external control signal, and get the location information in a shorter period of time and adjust Servo radial position. The reaction speed of Digital Servo is higher than Analog Servo, rather than motor speed. Why make a squeaking noise after Servo gets powered? Servo always makes a squeaking noise to adjust sound by back and forth locating, because some servos have no hysteresis control function and if no hysteresis control dead zone range is small, as long as the input and feedback signals fluctuate, and the difference is beyond its dead zone control, servo will send signal to drive motor. But with no hysteresis regulating function, if the mechanical precision of servo gear is poor, with big gear phantom, will drive the rotation of feedback resistor, and the range is beyond dead zone control, then the servo will adjust and make a squeaking noise all the time. Ⅴ. The battery knowledge What are the parameters of UAV battery? The parameters of UAV battery have voltage, discharge rate, capacity and internal resistance etc. For example: 3s 2200mah 25c 5c-charge battery. 3s stand for 3 cell batteries in series, a single cell voltage is 3.7v, so this battery voltage is 11.1v, the capacity is 2200ma, 25C discharge stand for the battery can reach 25c*2200ma=55A Maximum current discharge. 5c-charge stand for battery can reach 5c*2200ma=11A Maximum current charging. Common battery brands have: Gens Ace, Tattu, Hobbyking etc. What is the voltage of RC battery storage? Due to character of UAV batteries, usually full charged few hours before the batteries are being used will be recommended. When the batteries are not in used, please store them at voltage from 3.8v - 3.9v. Over charge or discharge would affect the battery performance. The right way to storage can extend batteries' lifetime and maintain them in certain capacity.

D & T Centre at Felsted School, dedicated to Major F.B. Halford CBE ,Prof R.H. Macmillan & Sir M.I. Prichard The de Havilland Goblin the second British jet engine to fly (originally known as the Halford H-1 engine) was an early turbojet engine designed by Major Frank Halford (pictured left). It was the primary engine used on the de Havilland Vampire. John L. P. Brodie on the right met Frank at Arrol- Johnston in 1915 and Brodie was the first member of Halford's consultancy staff at Aircraft Disposal Company (London)1923. Major Halford, Frank Bernard, CBE (1894-1955, OF 1907-1910): Youngest son of Harry Baker (estate agent) and Ethel Halford (née Grundy); born in Nottingham, Nottinghamshire. In 1913 he left the University of Nottingham before graduating in order to learn to fly at the Bristol Flying School at Brooklands, later becoming a flight instructor for Bristol. In 1914 he joined the Aeronautical Inspection Department of the War Office. On the outbreak of WWI he joined the Royal Flying Corps as Pilot where he fought at the front in France; Sgt RFC, Mention in Despatches twice and Major in the RAF, Inspector of Aeronautical Material, Aero Engine Designer since 1919. Recalled to engineering duties he improved and enlarged the water-cooled six-cylinder Austro-Daimler, producing the 230 hp (170 kW) Beardmore Halford Pullinger (BHP). This engine was further developed by Siddeley-Deasy as the Puma. Winner of World Speed Record for 500cc motorcycles 1921. In 1922 he rode a 4-valve Triumph Ricardo in the Senior TT, finishing 13th. That same year he was commissioned to produce a luxury motorcycle for Vauxhall. Based on aero-engine principles, it featured an in-line unit construction four cylinder engine, with shaft drive to the rear wheel. Four examples were made, one exists in a private collection in the Isle of Man. Working for Airdisco, he redesigned the Puma engine as the Nimbus and also developed a V-8 engine based on the company's large stores of surplus Renault engine parts. There in 1924 he designed the first of the long-running Cirrus series at the request of de Havilland. In 1923 he set up his own consultancy in London, alongside the equally influential engine designer Harry Ricardo. From 1926 he designed the famous de Havilland Gipsy air-cooled inline engines, repeating the success of the Cirrus. During this period Frank Halford also designed and had built the AM Halford Special racing car which he raced at Brooklands in the 1926 RAC British Grand Prix, as well as in many other races in 1925 and 1926. During the 1930s Halford and Harry Ricardo became interested in the sleeve valve as a method of increasing the allowable operating RPM and compression ratio of piston engines, thereby increasing the power from an otherwise smaller engine. From 1928 Halford worked with D. Napier & Son, eventually producing the Sabre, which became one of the most powerful piston aero engines built, producing 3,500 hp (2.6 MW) from only 2200 cubic inches (36 L) in late-war versions. He was Chairman and Technical Director, de Havilland Engine Company. Silver Medal, R.Ae.S 1935. Silver Medal Royal Society of Arts 1946. CBE 1948. Designed the 230 B.H.P. aero-engine, 7000 of which were used by the RAF, also the ADC Cirrus, Nimbus and Airdisco, the de Havilland Gipsy and the Napier Rapier engines. Designed 215hp of DH Comet, which won Melbourne Air Race, Oct 1934. Designer of Gypsy Engine for the de Havilland Comet and Goblin the second British jet engine to fly (originally known as the Halford H-1 engine) was an early turbojet engine designed by Major Frank Halford (above pictured on the left). It was the primary engine used on the de Havilland Vampire. Designed Napier-Halford Sabre engines for Typhoon. In 1941 designed de Havilland Goblin jet engine as used in de Havilland Vampire fighters. In 1945 designed de Havilland Ghost jet engines fitted to the de Havilland Comet, the first jet air-liner. During the war he became interested in jet engines, and designed a simplified version of Frank Whittle's centrifugal-flow designs with the air intake on the front and "straight-through" combustion chambers. Known initially as the Halford H.1, the project was undertaken for de Havilland who produced it as the de Havilland Goblin. Halford's company was eventually purchased outright by de Havilland in 1944. Halford continued working on jets, turboprop and rocket engines.

NASA NIAC phase 1 studies development of a nuclear fission fragment rocket engine (FFRE) that is exponentially more propellent efficient than rocket engines currently used to power today’s space vehicles and could achieve very high specific impulse (>100,000 sec) at high power density (>kW/kg). Fission Fragment rockets are several proposed nuclear rocket designs made since the 1980s with the highest potential theoretical top speed. The fission-fragment rocket is a rocket engine design that directly harnesses hot nuclear fission products for thrust, as opposed to using a separate fluid as working mass. The designs can, in theory, produce very high specific impulse while still being well within the abilities of current technologies. The new aerogel design proposal seems to be the most buildable version yet. It should be smaller, cheaper and simpler to make. A previous proposal by Rodney L. Clark and Robert B. Sheldon theoretically increases efficiency and decreases complexity of a fission fragment rocket at the same time over the rotating fibre wheel proposal. In their design, nanoparticles of fissionable fuel (or even fuel that will naturally radioactively decay) are kept in a vacuum chamber subject to an axial magnetic field (acting as a magnetic mirror) and an external electric field. As the nanoparticles ionize as fission occurs, the dust becomes suspended within the chamber. The incredibly high surface area of the particles makes radiative cooling simple. The axial magnetic field is too weak to affect the motions of the dust particles but strong enough to channel the fragments into a beam which can be decelerated for power, allowed to be emitted for thrust, or a combination of the two. With exhaust velocities of 3% – 5% the speed of light and efficiencies up to 90%, the rocket should be able to achieve over 1,000,000 sec Isp. Current proposed designs for Fission Fragment Rocket Engines are prohibitively massive, have significant thermal constraints, or require implementing complex designs, such as dusty plasma levitation, which limits the near-term viability. Ryan Weed and his team propose to develop a small prototype low-density nuclear reactor core and convert the nuclear energy stored in a fissile material into a high velocity rocket exhaust and electrical power for spacecraft payloads. The key improvements over previous concepts are: 1. Embed the fissile fuel particles in an ultra-low density aerogel matrix to achieve a critical mass assembly 2. Utilize recent breakthroughs in high field, high temperature superconducting magnets to constrain fission fragment trajectories between moderator elements to minimize reactor mass. The aerogel matrix and high magnetic field (B>20T) allows for fission fragments to escape the core while increasing conductive and radiative heat loss from the individual fuel particles. NIAC work will provide detailed mission analysis of fast transit to SGL for direct imaging and high-resolution spectroscopy of a habitable exoplanet at a distance of up to 100 light years. The FFRE propulsion system could provide delta-V to reach the SGL in less than 15yrs and provide the slowdown and maneuvering capability at SGL. The telescopes would act as a single pixel detector while traversing the Einstein Ring region, building an image of the exoplanet with enough resolution to see its surface features and signs of habitability. Fission Fragment Concepts Review Theoretically, there was the idea that a mature fission fragment rocket capability could have a 200 gigawatt system enabling a 10% of lightspeed travel to Alpha Centauri. The 200 gigawatt system is 200 times larger than most commercial nuclear fission energy reactors and it is about double the power of all nuclear fission reactors in the USA currently and about 40% of the nuclear fission reactors on earth. The ultimate potential is there but the NASA NIAC study is lets make something much smaller and simpler.

Storied electric motor donated to OAIRE Monday, September 20, 2021 Media Contact: Jeff Hopper | Marketing Media Specialist | 405-744-2745 | email@example.com On Sept. 14, in a ceremony held at the OSU DISCOVERY building in Oklahoma City, an electric motor which was once onboard an unmanned aircraft that circumnavigated the globe was donated to the Oklahoma Aerospace Institute for Research and Education (OAIRE) at Oklahoma State University. Skydweller Aero Inc. — whose global headquarters is now located in Oklahoma City — donated the motor as part of a partnership created to promote research and education opportunities in the area of long-endurance, unmanned aircraft development. “University research and development partnerships are one of Skydweller’s top priorities,” CEO Dr. Robert Miller said. “We are thrilled to be donating our electric motor to Oklahoma State University’s Unmanned Systems Research Institute and look forward to continued opportunities for collaboration.” The motor was originally flown on the Solar Impulse 2, a piloted solar-powered aircraft which circumnavigated the globe in 2016. Skydweller Aero acquired the aircraft in 2019 and is now in the process of converting and enhancing this aircraft to use as a testbed for developing an ultra-persistent unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) for defense and commercial industries. The OAIRE team first plans to house and test the motor in its lab space at OSU DISCOVERY to gather valuable data and specifications for the engine to determine which projects will yield the most beneficial results. “We are excited to be working with Skydweller Aero on their advanced technology. This is a unique opportunity for OSU students and researchers at OAIRE to work on cutting edge systems and push the leading edge of aeronautics,” said Dr. Jamey Jacob, OSU professor of aerospace engineering and director of OAIRE. “OSU has been working on solar-powered aircraft for over 20 years, but this remains one of the hardest problems in aerospace engineering — to be able to assist in the pinnacle of solar flight is truly exciting.” Jacob said the partnership and donation will provide exciting opportunities for researchers to focus on new horizons that will benefit the aeronautics industry for years to come. Students and researchers plan to evaluate the current motor’s performance and advanced designs for Skydweller’s future vehicles. OAIRE will be testing the systems in their propulsion test lab, which will provide performance curves for them to optimize flight profiles and improve flight efficiency. Developing new motor designs and low speed propellers are some of the team’s specialties that they will rely on to give the motor a new life.

Woodside to trial NASA’s ‘Robonaut’ for dangerous jobs Woodside Energy will work with National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to see if its can use the organisation’s so-called Robonauts within its own operations. Under the partnership, NASA will lend Woodside an Anthropomorphic Robonaut System for a 60-month deployment in Perth. Robonauts are robots designed by NASA to be humanoid to perform the same manual tasks as a person. NASA began working on the Robonaut project in 1996, initially to work on the International Space Station, but is now looking to broaden its applications on earth. Woodside and NASA will explore how the robotic technology could be used to improve safety, reliability and efficiency in the high-risk and remote offshore environments where Woodside operates. The WA-based oil and gas producer will contribute its advanced cognitive science technology, being developed in its WA operations, and NASA will share its expertise in Robonauts that are already being used for simple, repetitive, or especially dangerous tasks in places such as the International Space Station. As part of the project, Woodside will begin by researching ways in which the Robonaut could perform tasks from more than 300 ideas suggested by the company’s operators, engineers and maintenance workers. Woodside’s senior vice president and chief technology officer Shaun Gregory welcomed the collaboration. “This is a unique partnership for NASA and is an exciting opportunity to accelerate Woodside’s innovative cognitive science program,” he said. “The partnership fits well with our collaborative approach to innovation. “We want the best thinkers from inside and outside our company to be working on solutions that unlock value in our operations. “It also supports the WA innovation agenda and will help our state realise its potential to be a global centre for scientific and technological excellence.” Woodside shares were up 28 cents to $32.28 shortly before the close.

He had arrived at this small, remote airport, about 250 kilometers west of Barcelona, a few months earlier. Its operator, Atlas Air of New York, had parked it there due to lack of demand in the cargo sector – until the coronavirus pandemic occurred and turned the world upside down. Lleida-Alguaire, and other industrial airports like this one, is the place where the planes that have been decommissioned are waiting in pre-trial detention. For some, like this 747, there will be a reprieve. For others, it’s Death Row. The Boeing 737 Max has been immobilized for over a year now, but the plane was still out of the assembly line in the summer of 2019. With hundreds of undelivered planes piling up and space in its facilities starting to run out, the American manufacturer has transformed one of the employee parking lots at its Paine Field facility near Seattle into a temporary depot. planes. Boeing 737 MAX aircraft are stored in employee parking lots near Boeing Field on June 27, 2019. Stephen Brashear / Getty Images North America / Getty Images For those already delivered to airlines around the world, the solution was less obvious. There was an urgent need to find alternative storage places for them. Where Europe keeps its 737 Max One of Icelandair’s 737 Max. It is at this stage that remote industrial airports come to the rescue. In Europe, Lleida-Alguaire is the airport that currently maintains the largest number of Boeing 737 MAX aircraft in stock. Considered a white elephant since its inauguration in 2010, the lack of regular commercial traffic (before the current crisis, it handled a few regular flights per week, plus occasional charter) offered this small airport a chance to specialize a little . known but essential segment of the aerospace industry. Two Nordic companies – Norwegian and Icelandair – have sent their MAX fleets to be stored at Alguaire, a total of 10 new brilliant aircraft. Some of them literally left the factory: they just had time to record a few chargeable flights before being immobilized. This is where the analogy ends with parking. Planes that are temporarily stored but are scheduled to return to service follow an intense daily program to protect and preserve them for the day they are due to resume flight. There are careful processes to avoid corrosion and to ensure that all systems remain in perfect working order. Motors, always particularly sensitive equipment, are subject to special attention and are constantly monitored. Humidity is an enemy, with sensors in different locations that take measurements and transmit them to engineers in real time. “We aim to keep humidity below 40%. We use dehumidification bags and specialized devices that suck in moisture from the air, ”explains Miguel Martín, technical director of Servitec Aircraft Maintenance, the firm that deals with MAXs stationed in Lleida. Alguaire. This time in life As owners of classic cars are well aware, engines must be started from time to time – and the same goes for airplanes after they have been idle for a while. “Not all planes need it. It really depends on the program they’re on, but, yes, we also start the engines and run them for a while to make sure when they’re called up. flying again everything works. “ This is something that all visitors to Alguaire will not be able to do, as this airport also serves as a termination point for old aircraft that are retired from service. In fact, many of these devices are still perfectly airworthy. What is happening is that they have reached the point of their operational life where it is no longer economical to invest in their maintenance. In fact, the parts and spares they contain are worth more than the plane as a whole. It’s sad to see the mighty Queen of the Skies, the Boeing 747 Jumbo, broken down and turned into scrap, but that’s exactly what’s going on in Alguaire. The rupture of an aircraft is a specialized process. Once the decision to remove an aircraft has been made, an inventory of all its parts and spare parts is drawn up. Many of them will eventually find their way to other planes. The plane is then flown to an industrial airport, such as Lleida-Alguaire or Teruel, in Spain, Tarbes in France or Victorville, in California. There it is inspected and tested before being disassembled. The first elements to move are mobile elements such as fire extinguishers or ramps. Fluids, oils and other chemicals are also eliminated. A very specific protocol must be followed to avoid any environmental or security risk. Engines are usually the most valuable item. Once the pods are removed, the engine itself is completely disassembled, leaving the internal mechanisms intact. “Death of the plane” This cockpit will no longer be able to accommodate pilots. With the engines gone, it’s the turn of the panels, which protect key areas of the plane. The structure is laid bare so that technicians can access the most internal systems of aircraft and recover the parts of interest. “When we cut the power, it is the official death of the plane, there is no possible return”, explains Miguel Martín de Servitec, before adding that on an Airbus A330 being dismantled, they managed to extract more than 4,600 different coins. Each item that is removed from the aircraft is cataloged, cleaned and processed so that the owners of the aircraft can take them where they are needed. Visitors to the airport can see how carefully different parts are stacked all around the aircraft as it undergoes this classification process. If the aircraft is owned by an airline with a larger fleet of the same type, it can use these spare parts internally, but very often this is not the case. There are companies that specialize in purchasing end-of-life aircraft for the purpose of dismantling them and selling their parts and spare parts in what is called the aftermarket – where the spare parts and equipment are exchanged. In most cases, these parts cannot go directly to another plane, because by the time they are struck from the plane, they become technically unusable (even if they are in perfect condition). They must be transferred to an authorized repair workshop to undergo a new certification. Even if produced in series, components of a specific type are not always the same. Some of them have experienced a certain degree of customization at the request of operators and manufacturers often also introduce small modifications. This is why each part must be identifiable individually. Each part that enters an airplane must be traceable, explain Alex Duran and Jasin Kolar, co-founders of Nexspares, a Zurich-based consultancy that helps airlines plan their spare parts supply strategy. There must always be a written record. Once the cell has been removed from all valuables, it is literally cut for scrap.

How to Invest in Space Exploration Space exploration may long have been the domain of national governments due to the huge budgets required. Investment from the private sector was slow to pick up due to uncertain economic returns and the concern that their involvement will in some way downplay the virtues of science. However, recent developments have seen increased participation by the private sector, ranging from partnerships with federal space programs to commercial space flights. As an investor, determine whether there is value to be unlocked from your support of space exploration activities, the feasibility of making a consistent return on investment and your capacity for risk. Invest in Stocks You do not need to be a billionaire to invest in outer space. Several exchange-traded funds invest in aerospace companies likely to be involved in space exploration technology and related equipment. You can opt to buy stock in individual aerospace firms after diligent research to find firms that have the best track record. Investing in space ventures directly is too risky, and you have to be experienced and knowledgeable about the respective companies' technology, management and business plans. In addition, their stocks are likely to plummet hard after setbacks or major disasters, so getting a diversified fund spreads the risk. You can choose to invest your money in mutual funds with diversified holdings in aerospace companies. The mutual fund will be a collection of stocks, bonds and other securities. Your investment will yield money from dividends, distribution if the fund makes capital gains, or by selling your portfolio if the fund's shares increase in price. Choose an investment that is low risk if you are new to the investment world or the space technology industry. Space Exploration Start-Up Private enterprise, especially individuals with deep pockets, can start their own aerospace technology firms for either space exploration and transportation or mining activities on various celestial bodies. For transportation, you will not be reinventing the wheel, as you will be in good company among the few businesses that make such flights. Mining materials from asteroids is an idea that has gained ground in some quarters, the only handicap being the cost and expertise for such a mission. In either investment, you can team up with partners with expertise in aerospace technology while you finance the venture. Patent with NASA Since its inception, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration has been instrumental in developing many new ideas and ground-breaking technologies used in day-to-day living. These include digital image processing currently employed in Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRIs) and CT ("cat") scans, polyurethane-silicon plastic used in memory foam mattresses, and satellites for global positioning systems used in car GPS units and in cell phones, among other technologies. These developments were a result of private companies teaming up with NASA. You can leverage NASA expertise in testing out your new ideas that can later be patented for commercial use.

Forstner's Long History Connection to the Space Program Before NASA selected the Omega Speedmaster Professional as the standard-issue watch for manned space missions, astronauts used their own timepieces, and their own watch bands. In these early days of the space program, certain astronauts personally purchased the Omega Speedmaster Professional, and paired it with the Komfit band. The benefits of the "Komfit" design, including the ability to easily resize the band without tools, and remove it easily in case of emergency, made it a natural choice. The band even fit over space suits of that (Mercury) period. And the pairing became ubiquitous throughout NASA. The Komfit band almost immediately became the watch band of choice for astronauts, as shown in the NASA image archive, which is packed with photos of astronauts wearing the Komfit band. These photos are beautifully cataloged in the MoonwatchUniverse tumblr page. In the Mercury years, the Komfit band fit over the space suit -- accordingly, it was often worn in this manner, both during training on Earth and in space. Entering the Mercury-Atlas 8 Capsule for Pre-Launch Checks The Komfit Gets Re-Branded In about 1963, Forstner was purchased by Jacoby-Bender, which continued the "Komfit" style, but re-branded it the "JB-Champion." In 1964, NASA started the well-documented process of selecting one "highly durable and accurate chronograph to be used by Gemini and Apollo flight crews," per a requisition memorandum from Donald Slayton, former NASA Director of Flight Crew Operations. The full text of that requisition memo can be found here. However, by that time, NASA was already using the Komfit (and later JB Champion) bracelet. It even purchased a dozen JB Champion "Komfit" style bands for in the chronograph requisition memo: The JB Champion version of the "Komfit" band was subsequently flown on numerous missions during the Gemini and Apollo periods. During the Gemini program, it was flown at least on the Gemini III and Gemini X missions. Preparing to Enter Gemini III Capsule with Komfit Worn Outside of Suit During the Apollo program, the JB Champion "Komfit" style band was flown on Apollo 10, Apollo 12, Apollo 14, and Apollo 17. In Flight During Apollo 17 (Komfit clearly shown on left wrist) And, on Apollo 17, the band was worn on the moon. Post-EVA Photograph during Apollo 17 - Notice Komfit Band on Left Wrist After the Apollo program, this band continued to be worn periodically on Space Shuttle missions. However, the band eventually was lost to time after Jacoby Bender shut its doors. In 2019, Forstner, and its Komfit band, were re-launched. We were thrilled to reissue this unique and historically-significant band, and have much more to come. Thanks for reading, and stay tuned for updates!

When Boeing Co. (NYSE: BA) rolls out its first 737 Max on Tuesday, the occasion will be marked by … not much. Perhaps that’s because the new plane is still about two years away from first delivery to customers, and given Boeing’s recent performance with the 787 Dreamliner, a little less hubbub and a lot more attention to detail may help calm skittish investors. Recent stories related to airlines looking at leasing older planes rather than placing orders for new ones have introduced a note of caution into bragging about the huge backlogs at Boeing and Airbus, its main rival. Boeing’s order book shows 2,955 of the 737 Max planes in the backlog. Airbus, which launched its A320neo program several months before Boeing launched the 737 Max, has firm orders for around 4,400 A320neo jets at the end of November, according to aircraft tracking website pdxlight. The following chart tells the story: Worse, for Boeing, is that so far in 2015 the company has taken net new orders totaling 568 aircraft. The company plans to sell around 755 aircraft this year. That means unless Boeing has a spectacular December, the company’s book-to-bill ratio will be less than one. Total firm orders for both single-aisle, narrow-body jets is 7,345, of which Airbus has nabbed 60% to Boeing’s 40%. Not a particular surprise because Airbus has held the lead in narrow-body sales for years now while Boeing’s advantage has come in the wide-body market. Airbus has just announced a production increase to 60 planes a month in 2019, and Boeing is currently mulling whether to match that. Boeing has said it will boost 737 production to 52 by 2018. And then there’s the leasing story. With fuel prices at multiyear lows, more airlines may choose to lease and refurbish older planes rather than buy new ones. The new narrow-bodies from Boeing and Airbus have both been designed and built to be more fuel efficient. Since then, however, fuel costs have been halved and the calculus for buying new, more economical planes has changed. In an article at Leeham News, Aengus Kelly, CEO of AerCap Holdings N.V. (NYSE: AER), noted airlines saw an annual savings of about $1 million a year on an Airbus 320neo when fuel prices were double what they are now. But that’s not what aircraft buyers primarily look at: [W]hen the airlines are looking out 12, 14 years, which is what they do when they take new aircraft, where fuel is today is not something they look at. … [A]irlines can’t hedge themselves [and] of course no bank will write a derivative for the long-term for an airline to hedge fuel. The only way to do it ultimately is have the most fuel efficient assets out there. No one knows what fuel prices are going to be next month, let alone in 12 or 14 years. In the first decade of the 21st century, we could be reasonably sure that oil prices would rise over time. Some predictions had oil at $200 a barrel. That is no longer the case. The Saudi oil minister has said the world will never see $100 oil again. If Kelly is right, that should have little to no effect on sales of either Boeing or Airbus narrow-body jets. The first flight of the 737 Max is scheduled for early in 2016, and first delivery is set for the third quarter of 2017 to launch customer Southwest Airlines.

Religare group's Air Mantra has said it will start passenger services from July 23. Initially, it would operate daily flights between Amritsar and Chandigarh. Through its services, Mantra plans to connect cities that are out of the radar of most airlines. With further expansion on the cards, the company foresees Jammu and Dharamshala entering its fold soon. Sanjay Godhwani, Managing Director and group chief executive, Mantra, stated: "Better service and connectivity is our primary objective. Every possible detail has been taken into consideration to ensure our passengers have a wonderful experience, with safe and comfortable flights." Air Mantra is part of Religare Voyages, set up about five years ago with the launch of air charter services. It has a fleet of 12 aircraft, ranging from five-seater turboprops to 17-seater corporate luxury jets. Sandeep Bhatt, chief executive officer, Religare Voyages, said the company was graduating from operating just air charter services to being a regional airline. It would not compete with commercial airline companies. Instead, it would serve as a feeder service.

A Nevada Army National Guard Chinook helicopter was destroyed in a non-hostile incident after the crew attempted to land it in eastern Afghanistan, but no one on board was significantly injured, Guard officials in Carson City said Tuesday. The Associated Press in Kabul reported that a coalition Chinook helicopter was heavily damaged during a hard landing late Monday night in Logar province, and the crew destroyed it before they were evacuated. A Nevada National Guard spokeswoman in Carson City, Air Force Maj. April Conway, confirmed that the helicopter was destroyed but couldn't confirm whether the crew destroyed it. She said the helicopter involved in the hard landing was a CH-47 Chinook assigned to the Nevada Army National Guard's 1st Squadron, 189th Aviation Regiment, based in Stead. "There were no significant injuries and all guardsmen have returned to duty," Conway said in a news release. The crew consisted of four Nevada Guard soldiers and one soldier from the Montana National Guard. "The cause of the incident and possible damage to the aircraft is still under investigation," the news release said. Six Chinooks are assigned to Nevada's 1st Squadron, 189th Aviation Regiment. The incident is the first involving a Nevada Guard Chinook or crew in Afghanistan since two were attacked in 2005. On Sept. 25, 2005, a rocket-propelled grenade struck the fuel tank of a Chinook belonging to the Oregon National Guard, killing Nevada National Guard Chief Warrant Officer John M. Flynn, of Sparks and Sgt. Patrick D. Stewart, of Fernley. The $18 million Chinook from the 113th Aviation Regiment was operated jointly by the National Guard in Nevada and Oregon. On Dec. 3, 2005, a Nevada National Guard Chinook with five crew members and 30 soldiers on board went down in a mountainous region in eastern Afghanistan after it came under attack on a combat mission. The Chinook, known as Mustang-69, was destroyed by fire after the pilot made an emergency landing. Two soldiers were wounded, and two crew members suffered minor injuries but returned to duty the next day. Contact reporter Keith Rogers at firstname.lastname@example.org or 702-383-0308.

Why would you use a Duocel® foam CO2 scrubber? Amine powder granules can selectively absorb and desorb carbon dioxide at specific temperatures, but generate or require heat for the reaction. The high thermal conductivity foam matrix increases the response rate and efficiency of the system. The foam also electrically grounds the powder and disrupts its packing structure to improve gas flow and increase its lifetime. Who uses Duocel® foam CO2 scrubber? Duocel® aluminum foam is used as the heat exchange media and granulated chemical support matrix for the atmospheric carbon dioxide control system on the space shuttle and International Space Station.

WASHINGTON, DC, March 15, 2011 – The General Aviation Manufacturers Association (GAMA) welcomes the completion of the final step required for implementation of the landmark U.S. - EU Aviation Safety Agreement. Following an exchange of diplomatic notes earlier today in Brussels between the U.S. and the European Commission, the agreement will enter into force on May 1, 2011. GAMA President and CEO Pete Bunce stated, “It has been a long and sometimes challenging road toward implementation, but today is a very good day for the U.S. and European aviation industries. It would be difficult to overstate the importance of this agreement for the continued health and vitality of general aviation and for international aviation safety cooperation between the Federal Aviation Administration and the European Aviation Safety Agency.” Implementation is vitally important to the entire aviation industry. Specifically for manufacturers, it will streamline transatlantic regulatory cooperation on certification, continued airworthiness and maintenance. The agreement creates the ultimate “one-stop shop” by reducing redundant certification activities through validation and acceptance of design approvals and repairs between all 27 European Union (EU) member states and the U.S. Moreover, as the European Aviation Safety Agency’s (EASA) authority is extended to areas not currently covered under the agreement, the two sides will be able to negotiate new annexes to the bilateral agreement that will cover important areas such as pilot licensing and training. In addition, implementation will provide a mechanism to resolve the long-running dispute over unfair certification fees assessed by EASA on U.S. manufacturers. With this major step completed, GAMA strongly urges the FAA and the European Commission to move promptly on the vital next steps. First and foremost is the establishment of the institutional mechanisms and implementation procedures called for in the agreement, but also a list of priority items for follow-on action, such as a new annex on licensing and training and another on operations. “GAMA congratulates the many dedicated aviation safety professionals from both sides of the Atlantic who worked hard to bring this important agreement to fruition,” added Bunce. GAMA is an international trade association representing 70 of the world's leading manufacturers of general aviation aircraft, engines, avionics and related equipment. GAMA's members also manage fleets of aircraft, fixed based operations, and pilot training and maintenance training facilities. GAMA is headquarted in Washington, DC, with a European office in Brussels, Belgium. For additional information, visit GAMA’s website at www.GAMA.aero

Can pilots disobey ATC? Yes, pilots can disobey ATC (Air Traffic Control) instructions, but it is not advisable except in cases of emergency. ATC instructions are designed to ensure the safety of all aircraft in the airspace, and any deviation from an ATC instruction could lead to a dangerous situation. When a pilot receives an ATC instruction, they must comply with it unless they have a valid reason not to. A valid reason could include an emergency situation or a mechanical issue with the aircraft. In such cases, the pilot must inform ATC of the reason for their decision. In some cases, a pilot may feel that an ATC instruction is incorrect or might not be the safest course of action. In such cases, the pilot should contact ATC to discuss their concerns and explain why they feel the instruction should not be followed. If ATC agrees, they may modify the instruction or provide an alternative course of action. In cases where the pilot feels that an ATC instruction is incorrect and ATC does not agree, the pilot can still decide to disobey the instruction. However, this should only be done as a last resort, and the pilot should be aware of the risks involved. Disobeying an ATC instruction could result in legal action, fines, or even the suspension of the pilot's license. In addition, it is important to remember that ATC is responsible for the safety of all aircraft in the airspace. If a pilot disobeys an ATC instruction, they are endangering not only their own aircraft but also other aircraft in the vicinity. This could lead to a dangerous situation, and the pilot must be aware of the consequences of their actions. In conclusion, while a pilot can disobey an ATC instruction in some cases, it is not advisable unless it is an emergency situation or the pilot has a valid reason to do so. The pilot must also be aware of the risks involved, as disobeying an ATC instruction could lead to legal action and fines.

A prospective security concern prompted an unexpected emergency landing at LaGuardia Airport and led law enforcement to place a person of the plane’s travellers into custody for questioning, federal and airline officers verified Saturday. The Federal Aviation Administration verified the safe and sound landing of Republic Airlines Flight 4817 at the Queens airport close to 3 p.m. next a “stability incident.” All 80 passengers and crew deplaned the plane on the taxiway devoid of incident. The airplane manufactured an crisis landing soon after passengers noted suspicious habits from a person on board the flight, a Port Authority spokesperson explained. A senior law enforcement formal briefed on the incident explained the passenger was unruly and when confronted by the flight crew allegedly proposed he experienced a product aboard the plane. The airplane’s pilot radioed in advance for an emergency and ready officials to reply once the flight landed. According to the FAA, Flight 4817 departed Indianapolis about 1 p.m. bound for LaGuardia. Several films posted to social media all over the time of the plane’s landing showed a important unexpected emergency reaction from area hearth and law enforcement models. There was no indicator of any sizeable menace to the plane or the travellers and crew of the flight, officials said. Authorities have because swept the plane and cleared the scene of any opportunity menace. The passenger has been taken into custody for questioning. Video captured by a passenger and shared with NBC News reveals firefighters attending to a single person lying facedown on the taxiway.

|Manipulator-actuated Adaptive Integrated Translational and Rotational Stabilization for Spacecraft in Proximity Operations with Control Constraint Feng Zhang* and Guang-Ren Duan International Journal of Control, Automation, and Systems, vol. 16, no. 5, pp.2103-2113, 2018 Abstract : "This paper tackles the problem of integrated translation and rotation stabilization of the spacecraft in proximity operations by proposing a novel manipulator actuation strategy. To do so, by theoretically integrating the attitude/position motion of the spacecraft and the joint motion of the manipulator, a coupled translational and rotational kinematics of the spacecraft with a single space manipulator mounted is formulated, where system unknown parameters and residual system momentum are taken into account and analyzed. Taking the joint motion as the control input, a projection-based adaptive control scheme is then developed such that the translation and rotation of the spacecraft can be robustly stabilized with the manipulator-based actuation. The closed-loop asymptotic stability is guaranteed within Lyapunov framework. Meanwhile, considering the constrained joint motion of the manipulator, the resulting control constraint issue is handled by developing an optimization based bound analysis method, which also facilitates the determination of control parameters. Two scenario numerical simulations demonstrate the effect of the designed control scheme."

Upgraded plane receives Pilbara name A QantasLink plane part of a company aircraft repainting program has been named for a Pilbara location. Fokker 100 plane registration number VH-NHQ was officially named “Karratha” after it received a newly painted Qantas logo and branding last week. QantasLink has been using the repainting project as an opportunity to name its aircraft after regional Australian towns and cities, with most of the fleet currently unnamed. It is the second consecutive plane to win itself a Pilbara name after the first aircraft part of the progarm was christened “Paraburdoo”. A QantasLink spokeswoman said the company was proud to have updated another plane. “Customers and plane-spotters should keep an eye out for the repainted aircraft, registration VH-NHQ, now named ‘Karratha’”, she said. “Naming our regional fleet after regional cities and communities is a great opportunity to encourage travellers to explore more of Australia.” The repainted Karratha plane will go back into circulation with the Qantas regional network this week. The Qantas and QantasLink aircraft repainting project began last October and is part of a program to update its aircraft by the company’s centenary in 2020.

Air Antwerp suspended operations on June 11, 2021. (Bankruptcy) The Belgian airline Air Antwerp suspended operations on June 11, 2021. The company operated a single 50-seat Fokker 50 aircraft between Antwerp and London City Airport. There were three daily flights before the Covid-19 pandemic. Air Antwerp, established in May 2019, has also concluded a code-sharing agreement with KLM. The company was founded following the collapse of the Belgian airline VLM, with a focus on business travel, launching flights to London in September 2019. A company spokesman said: "The board of directors of Air Antwerp has therefore decided to completely suspend the operational activities of the regional carrier and to dissolve the company. The first six months went very well and, until the beginning of the coronavirus pandemic, the airline was in line with the business plan. " The flights resumed for a short time, from September last year until the beginning of the second wave of the pandemic. "The very limited number of current bookings will be reimbursed, and contracts with suppliers will be terminated by mutual agreement." The failure also coincided with the collapse of the franchise airline, Aer Lingus Stobart Air. Thus, passengers have to look for alternative flights connecting Ireland and Northern Ireland with the British mainland.

Design and Development of a Two-Axis Thruster Gimbal with Xenon Propellant LinesA Two-Axis Thruster Gimbal was developed for a two degree-of-freedom tip-tilt gimbal application. This light weight gimbal mechanism is equipped with flexible xenon propellant lines and features numerous thermal control features for all its critical components. Unique thermal profiles and operating environments have been the key design drivers for this mechanism which is fully tolerant of extreme space environmental conditions. Providing thermal controls that are compatible with flexible components and are also capable of surviving launch vibration within this gimbal mechanism has proven to be especially demanding, requiring creativity and significant development effort. Some of these features, design drivers, and lessons learned will be examined herein.

NASA is currently tracking three objects near Earth (NEO) due to fly off Earth on November 20. Worryingly, two of the three were spotted only at the weekend, once again raising tensions over planetary defense. The first of the spacecrafts on Wednesday and the largest, measuring 157.5 meters to 360.8 meters (48 to 110 meters), will be the asteroid 2019 UK6, which will accelerate from approximately 6.20 pm by mail GMT (1.20 pm EDT). ). It is 2019 UK6 that we had earlier warned about, since it was first observed on October 24th. NEO 2019 UK6 is an asteroid asteroid that orbits the Sun and the Earth, occasionally, but rarely, crossing the Earth's path. Apollo asteroids, on the other hand, intersect with the Earth's orbit as the planet travels around the Sun. The second of the spacecrafts on Wednesday will be WF 2019, first observed by NASA's asteroid hunters just two days ago on November 17. however, there is no danger of extinction event. The last will be 2019 CE, 2019, also recorded in the last second on 17 November. This asteroid will sail past our planet at about 1.3 million kilometers. According to the NASA Center for Near-Earth Object Studies (CNEOS), all three will have what is called "Approaching the Earth," but fortunately, no one is believed to be a threat.

NASA has awarded $1.13 million to researchers from the University of Nebraska Omaha (UNO) and Chilean nanotechnology company Copper3D to develop and test two new recyclable and antimicrobial materials for in-space manufacturing. Fully funded by NASA’s Established Program to Stimulate Competitive Research (EPSCoR), the collaboration will help explore novel ways to keep astronauts safe from microbial and parasitic contamination during space missions, which tend to increase notably in microgravity and confined spaces. Through this grant funding, two new antimicrobial materials will be developed by Copper3D, then manufactured and tested for safety on Earth in a replica of the Additive Manufacturing Facility (AMF), a commercial manufacturing platform that operates within the International Space Station (ISS) in low Earth orbit (LEO). Once the safety of the material has been validated, the team will prepare the materials for launch, operation, testing, and return-to-Earth activities. Researchers from UNO’s Department of Biomechanics will work with NASA and 3D printer manufacturer Made in Space (now a subsidiary of space company Redwire and creator of the AMF in-space 3D printer) to create the printed representations of the final in-space devices or test coupons and conduct post-testing of the antimicrobial effectiveness on Earth. As one of the researchers collaborating in this project, UNO’s professor of 3D printed prosthetic and orthotic devices, Jorge Zuniga, described the importance of having new materials tools, medical devices, and other objects with antimicrobial properties in space missions. In addition, the co-director of the Biomechanics Rehabilitation and Manufacturing Initiative (BRMI) at UNO said that the most demanding challenges include finding solutions to help long-term space mission crews that suffer from an “immune system dysregulation,” which means a body can’t control immune responses. Most importantly, Zuniga said they have been seeking solutions to bacteria and viruses that tend to become more resistant to microgravity, which, added to the previous factor, makes space missions of more than six months in orbit very risky. However, an additional logistical factor has to be factored into the research, according to Zuniga. Considering the limited space available on the ISS and other future space exploration stations, crewed missions demand logistical support systems that are increasingly autonomous and decentralized, so they don’t need to use up precious cargo room for supplies and materials. One of the best solutions that have come up in recent years for this problem is 3D printing technology. Ideally, astronauts could manufacture their own spare parts and medical devices completely on-demand during long space missions. However, as space agencies and private companies prepare the space technology that will supply in-space, on-demand manufacturing devices that will be sustainable enough for space exploration, Copper3D has already begun incorporating a few concepts of circularity into their research. The idea is to use the same material several times for different applications. Thereby, the material would have to be subjected to several recycling and re-manufacturing processes without losing its antimicrobial properties. In turn, this would save weight, time, resupply missions, and other logistical and medical complications that would make future space missions much more feasible and safer. The partnership between UNO and Copper3D has a history of collaborations with NASA, which began in 2018 with funding to test Copper3D’s flagship antibacterial 3D printing filament in microgravity. The PLA used at the time is called PLACTIVE and integrates a patented additive based on copper nanoparticles that can remove viruses and bacteria. Then in 2019, funding from the NASA Nebraska Space Grant office was awarded to evaluate the feasibility of 3D printing a set of medical devices for astronauts under zero-gravity conditions. A pioneer and global leader in antimicrobial materials and applications for the 3D printing industry, Copper3D seeks to solve unique problems in extreme environments, including space exploration bases. Regarding the expectations of this study and the future of the technology, Copper3D Co-Founder and Director of Innovation Daniel Martínez said the startup’s antimicrobial 3D printing technology has quickly found multiple areas of impact since it was created in 2017. He also suggested that the ongoing collaboration with UNO and NASA encourages his team to continue developing new materials and antimicrobial applications “for the big future challenges that we will have face in the fight against viruses and bacteria.” “We sincerely believe that our technology can prevent infections and save lives on a global scale, and we are about to prove that on an interplanetary scale as well,” revealed Martínez.

What’s the difference between the Sport Pilot License and the Private Pilot License? One of the biggest differences between the sport pilot and private pilot license is the number of hours required to obtain each license. The Sport Pilot license only requires 20 hours of training while the Private Pilot license requires a minimum of 40 hours of training. You could potentially pay half of what it costs to become a private pilot by just getting your sport pilot license. But you do need to consider that the national average to obtain each license is close to double the minimum number of hours. If you study hard and fly two to three times a week, you should have no problem obtaining your license with close to the minimum number of hours that are required. I’ve listed a few differences between the sport and private pilot license below. If you have any questions feel free to ask them in the comments below. |How many hours do I need to get my license? |What type of airplane can I fly? |You will only be able to fly a light sport aircraft (LSA). LSAs have a 1,320 lb max certified gross weight. LSAs can only have two seats. |You can fly just about any airplane that weighs up to 12,500 lbs and has a max hp rating of 200hp. You can fly other types of aircraft with additional training. |Can I fly an airplane with retractable landing gear? |YES – With additional training. |How many passengers can I fly with? |You can fly with a maximum of 1 passenger. |More than 1 passenger. |Can I fly at night? |NO – Not allowed to fly at night. |Where can I fly? |You can fly in Class G or E airspace. You can fly in Class B, C or D airspace after you receive special training and an endorsement from a flight instructor. You are not allowed to fly in Class A Airspace. |You can fly in any airspace except class A, unless you have an instrument rating. |Can I fly in the clouds or when the visibility is low? |NO – You need to Maintain VFR Conditions |NO – You need to Maintain VFR Conditions. But you can fly in clouds and low vis condition if you have an Instrument Rating. |BasicMed self-certification or FAA Medical. |BasicMed self-certification or FAA Medical. There are some restrictions if you go the self-certification route. |Can I fly outside of the United States

The objectives of WINGS training are: • To assess pilot knowledge, judgment, and skill in critical flight and ground tasks and, • To improve pilot performance in risk management, planning, and execution of general aviation flight operations. In other words; WINGS training confirms that pilots can perform to the minimum standards associated with their certificate level and seeks to improve that performance level. Aviation instructors are the key to aviation safety. Flight Instructors are the General Aviation safety gate keepers. When aviation instructors emphasize safe practices in aviation it tends to have a long-lasting effect on students. WINGS instructors should be a role model who has set the bar at a high level of safety. They should instruct beyond the minimum standard and set the example in aeronautical decision making, starting at the before flight briefing and following through to the debriefing. WINGS Flight Activities include both ground and flight elements that are accomplished as a proficiency training event - not as a test. Instructors are expected to provide evaluation and training necessary to ensure airmen are proficient in each element of each WINGS activity. At the beginning of any WINGS activity, Instructors should evaluate the experience, currency, and routine flying practices of the pilot and develop a suitable plan to achieve the objectives of the activity. The most effective WINGS training activities are holistic and scenario-based. By that we mean that WINGS Instructors evaluate and train pilots in the performance of flight operations – not to execute an isolated series of maneuvers. Scenario-based holistic training emphasizes and accelerates development of critical thinking, risk management, and flight management skills that are necessary to prevent pilot-induced accidents. WINGS should expand pilots’ horizons. Earning a WINGS phase should be challenging and fun. Planning and successful execution of an operation slightly beyond a pilot’s comfort zone is very satisfying. T he pilot has not only demonstrated minimum standards of performance but has learned something new that improves performance on common operations and adds a new capability to the repertoire. Therefore, a prime objective of every WINGS flight is to learn something new and/or learn how to do something better. The WINGS mission (lesson) plan: WINGS pilots are rated aviators who should participate in planning their scenario-based training experiences. It is essential for WINGS Instructors to observe WINGS pilots functioning as Pilots in Command. Thus it may be more appropriate to think of the lesson plan as a mission plan. Together, the WINGS pilot and WINGS Instructor plan and discuss a mission that will incorporate one or more WINGS flight activities. During preflight the WINGS, mission is resourced with pilot knowledge, skills and flight planning information. Effective Risk Management is an essential element in every WINGS activity. WINGS Instructors should guide WINGS pilots in the identification of hazards and elimination or mitigation of risks associated with each WINGS mission. The use of a Flight Risk Assessment Tool to facilitate risk management is highly encouraged. In flight – The WINGS Instructor ensures the safety of flight, evaluates and critiques pilot performance, and provides instruction that leads to improved performance. A post-flight critique is conducted after landing and securing the aircraft but the WINGS Instructor should evaluate and critique performance throughout the mission and offer suggestions and demonstrations for performance improvement either on-the-spot or after the flight. WINGS Flight activities can be accomplished as a standalone or combined with other WINGS flight activities in preparing pilots for completion of a WINGS Phase. Depending upon the airman’s proficiency, the activity might be accomplished in a single session, however more than one session is often advantageous because an interval in training enhances absorbing and retaining of subject matter.

By Staff Sgt. C. Todd Lopez WASHINGTON (Oct. 14, 2006) -- The spires of the Air Force memorial represent the air power component of the most powerful force in the world. Teshoma Hailu is a taxi cab driver in Arlington, Va. He came to the United States in 1975, with his wife, to escape political issues in his home country and to pursue educational opportunities here. Today, he has a Bachelor's degree in education and is a citizen of the United States. Mr. Hailu has watched as the spires of the Air Force Memorial were assembled here and raised slowly over the Arlington skyline. He says the memorial illustrates the power of the United States. "It indicates the military power of the United States aviation service," he said. "We are the number one world power, in military, manpower, and economics. Everything. There is nothing in the world like the United States." Earlier in the week, Mr. Hailu had seen Air Force aircraft flying over the memorial to practice for the dedication here Oct. 14. He says he knows those same aircraft are there to protect him and wife. "They protect us against attack from outsiders, he said, "They can fight for the United States." Many of those who attended the dedication of the Air Force Memorial might not have ever had the experience of living in another country where freedom was available to all citizens. Mr. Hailu left Ethiopia, in part, to escape the communism there. Today, and in the past, he said, he defends his choice to come to the United States. "I used to quarrel with my friends," he said. "They would say this is a capitalist country. I told them go to the Soviet Union and try to find work there. Who forces you to stay here in the United States? You have to appreciate what we have here in America." The Air Force Memorial, dedicated Oct.14, 2006, comes at the beginning of a year-long series of commemoratory events leading up to the Air Force's 60th anniversary, Sept. 18, 2007. The memorial is meant to honor the millions of men and women who have served in the Air Force since it was created, Sept. 18, 1947. It is also meant to commemorate the contributions of those who served in the many predecessor organizations that were combined to create the Air Force. Those organizations include the aeronautical division and aviation section of the U.S. Signal Corps; the Secretary of War's division of military aeronautics; the Army Air Service; the U.S. Army Air Corps; and the U.S. Army Air Forces. In all, more than 54,000 individuals have died in combat while serving in the Air Force and the organizations that were combined to create it. The memorial honors the memory of those individuals, the service of Airmen today, and the service of Airmen in the future. The Air Force Memorial, while not inside the District of Columbia, is within walking distance of both the Pentagon and Arlington National Cemetery. From the memorial site, visitors can see the Pentagon, the Washington Monument, and the dome of the U.S. Capitol Building. The Memorial's spires can be seen on the horizon from miles away. The predominate feature of the Air Force Memorial is a set of three stainless steel spires that jut from the ground, the tallest of which reaches some 270 feet into the air. The spires are meant to represent the Air Force's three core values as well as the "total force," which include members of the active duty Air Force, the Air National Guard, and the Air Force Reserve. Visually, the three spires remind visitors of the smoke trails left by aircraft of the Air Force Thunderbird Demonstration Team when they perform the "bomb burst" maneuver. The memorial also includes a bronze statue that features four Air Force Honor Guard members, two granite inscription walls, a parade ground area, and a glass wall with engravings illustrating the "missing man" aircraft formation. The Air Force Memorial was designed by the late architect, James Ingo Freed. Inside Washington, D.C., his designs include the Ronald Reagan Building and International Trade Center, the Washington Opera House, and the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum.

11/18/2010 – JOINT BASE ELMENDORF-RICHARDSON, Alaska — The pilot of the F-22 aircraft that crashed Tuesday night has been identified as Capt. Jeffrey Haney, assigned to the 525th Fighter Squadron. Capt. Haney’s current status is missing. The aircraft lost contact with air traffic control at 7:40 p.m. Alaska time Tuesday, while on a nighttime training mission. Search and rescue teams discovered the wreckage of the F-22, assigned to the 3rd Wing at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson, Wednesday at 10:15 a.m. Rescue teams from the 11th Rescue Coordination Center, Alaska Air National Guard, the 3rd Wing and Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson continue to search the area, approximately 100 miles north of Anchorage. The family was notified on Tuesday evening and continues to receive support from the JBER family and leadership. “This is a very uncertain and difficult time for the family,” said Col. Jack McMullen, 3rd Wing commander. “We ask that the public continue to work with us to respect their privacy and keep them in your thoughts and prayers.” ANCHORAGE, Alaska — Evidence found at the remote, rugged Alaska site where an F-22 Raptor crashed indicates the pilot died, an Air Force official said Friday evening. Part of the jet’s ejection seat was found at the site, which means Capt. Jeffrey Haney of Clarklake, Mich., could not have survived the Tuesday night crash, Col. Jack McMullen said. Also found were pieces of the flight suit Haney had been wearing. No body has been recovered. Haney’s single-seat fighter jet crashed during a training run about 100 miles north of Anchorage. He was assigned to the 525th Fighter Squadron at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson. Searchers found the crash site Wednesday but had not previously been able to extensively inspect the hard-to-reach wreckage. Haney was married with two children. Officials said he joined the Air Force in 2003 and has been at the Anchorage base for 4 1/2 years. The F-22 took off Tuesday from the joint Air Force and Army base for a training run. The jet and a second F-22 practiced “intercepts” and were nearing completion of the exercise when one aircraft disappeared from ground radar tracking and from communications with the other F-22 at 7:40 p.m. Tuesday. An air search had been ongoing, with searchers looking for any sign of a parachute or a fire the pilot might have started had he been able to eject from the plane. By Patty Welsh – 66th Air Base Group Public Affairs 11/19/2010 – HANSCOM AIR FORCE BASE, Mass. (AFNS) — The next step in the largest block upgrade in the history of the E-3 Sentry, or Airborne Warning and Control System aircraft occurred Nov. 18 at Tinker Air Force Base, Okla., when the first aircraft receiving the block 40/45 modification was inducted by the Oklahoma City Air Logistics Center. New mission software will enhance tracking and combat identification capabilities, in addition to providing operators with a better picture of the battlespace. “This modification replaces a mission computer system originally installed in the 1970s,” said Maj. Brett Johnson, the AWACS the 40/45 Production chief. “The new system will have an open, network-based architecture, enabling future net-centric modifications.” The upgrade also allows for more sensor integration both on- and off-board the aircraft, improves the aircraft’s data link infrastructure, improves machine-to-machine interaction and compresses the timeline from threat engagement to neutralization. “Think about technology thirty or forty years ago, or even five years ago, and compare it to the capabilities a smartphone has today,” Major Johnson said. “We need to give our warfighters improved technological capabilities so they can do their jobs more efficiently and effectively.” The upgrades are being performed at the same time as programmed depot maintenance to minimize aircraft operational downtime. “Doing a modification of this size during PDM has never been done before,” Major Johnson said. “The scheduling, planning and coordination has been a key piece to get us to this event.” Other program office planners are expressing interest in trying to do something similar for their modification efforts. While Oklahoma City Air Logistics Center technicians are set to perform the upgrades, Electronic Systems Center officials are the lead integrators. In late October, ESC officials awarded a contract to Boeing for $65 million to procure and manage the thousands of parts needed, and also provide on-site production and installation support throughout the upgrade. “ESC’s role as lead integrator is to ensure all the pieces are in place, so before a wrench is turned, everything needed is there,” Major Johnson said. This first aircraft is the centerpiece of low rate initial production, he said. Modifications to the first aircraft are scheduled for completion by September 2011. During LRIP, six aircraft are scheduled to be upgraded by 2014. “This first aircraft is critical,” the major said. “It puts us on the path to our full rate production decision, which is planned for 2012.” All the aircraft in the AWACS fleet are scheduled to be at full operational capability by 2020, he said. As a significant amount of the equipment being installed is commercial-off-the-shelf, ESC members are also thinking ahead with regard to technology obsolescence. “Anyone who has bought a laptop computer over the last few years knows how quickly technology can change,” Major Johnson said. “We’re replacing all of the onboard computer work stations with laptops over the next several years, one aircraft at a time. In a modification of this complexity, laptops are only one of many components we are carefully watching.” To accomplish that, ESC officials awarded a contract to Boeing for $15 million in September to support active management of diminishing manufacturing sources and materiel shortages. “There are a lot of moving parts, and a lot of interdependencies to this upgrade,” Major Johnson said. “It has taken a lot of people from ESC, OC-ALC and Boeing to keep us on the right track.” The E-3 Sentry is an airborne warning and control system, or AWACS, aircraft with an integrated command and control battle management, or C2BM, surveillance, target detection, and tracking platform. The aircraft provides an accurate, real-time picture of the battlespace to the Joint Air Operations Center. AWACS provides situational awareness of friendly, neutral and hostile activity, command and control of an area of responsibility, battle management of theater forces, all-altitude and all-weather surveillance of the battle space, and early warning of enemy actions during joint, allied, and coalition operations. The E-3 Sentry is a modified Boeing 707/320 commercial airframe with a rotating radar dome. The dome is 30 feet (9.1 meters) in diameter, six feet (1.8 meters) thick, and is held 11 feet (3.33 meters) above the fuselage by two struts. It contains a radar subsystem that permits surveillance from the Earth’s surface up into the stratosphere, over land or water. The radar has a range of more than 250 miles (375.5 kilometers). The radar combined with an identification friend or foe, or IFF, subsystem can look down to detect, identify and track enemy and friendly low-flying aircraft by eliminating ground clutter returns that confuse other radar systems. Major subsystems in the E-3 are avionics, navigation, communications, sensors (radar and passive detection) and identification tools (IFF/SIF). The mission suite includes consoles that display computer-processed data in graphic and tabular format on video screens. Mission crew members perform surveillance, identification, weapons control, battle management and communications functions. The radar and computer subsystems on the E-3 Sentry can gather and present broad and detailed battlefield information. This includes position and tracking information on enemy aircraft and ships, and location and status of friendly aircraft and naval vessels. The information can be sent to major command and control centers in rear areas or aboard ships. In time of crisis, this data can also be forwarded to the president and secretary of defense. In support of air-to-ground operations, the Sentry can provide direct information needed for interdiction, reconnaissance, airlift and close-air support for friendly ground forces. It can also provide information for commanders of air operations to gain and maintain control of the air battle. As an air defense system, E-3s can detect, identify and track airborne enemy forces far from the boundaries of the United States or NATO countries. It can direct fighter-interceptor aircraft to these enemy targets. Experience has proven that the E-3 Sentry can respond quickly and effectively to a crisis and support worldwide military deployment operations. AWACS may be employed alone or horizontally integrated in combination with other C2BM and intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance elements of the Ground Theater Air Control System. It supports decentralized execution of the air tasking order/air combat order. The system provides the ability to find, fix, track and target airborne or maritime threats and to detect, locate and ID emitters. It has the ability to detect threats and control assets below and beyond the coverage of ground-based command and control or C2, and can exchange data with other C2 systems and shooters via datalinks. With its mobility as an airborne warning and control system, the Sentry has a greater chance of surviving in warfare than a fixed, ground-based radar system. Among other things, the Sentry’s flight path can quickly be changed according to mission and survival requirements. The E-3 can fly a mission profile approximately 8 hours without refueling. Its range and on-station time can be increased through in-flight refueling and the use of an on-board crew rest area. Engineering, test and evaluation began on the first E-3 Sentry in October 1975. In March 1977 the 552nd Airborne Warning and Control Wing (now 552nd Air Control Wing, Tinker Air Force Base, Okla.), received the first E-3s. There are 33 aircraft in the U.S. inventory. Air Combat Command has 28 E-3s at Tinker. Pacific Air Forces has four E-3 Sentries at Kadena AB, Japan and Elmendorf AFB, Alaska. There is also one test aircraft at the Boeing Aircraft Company in Seattle. NATO has 17 E-3A’s and support equipment. The first E-3 was delivered to NATO in January 1982. The United Kingdom has seven E-3s, France has four, and Saudi Arabia has five. Japan has four AWACS built on the Boeing 767 airframe. As proven in operations Desert Storm, Allied Force, Enduring Freedom and Iraqi Freedom, the E-3 Sentry is the premier C2BM aircraft in the world. AWACS aircraft and crews were instrumental to the successful completion of operations Northern and Southern Watch, and are still engaged in operations Noble Eagle and Enduring Freedom. They provide radar surveillance and control in addition to providing senior leadership with time-critical information on the actions of enemy forces. The E-3 has also deployed to support humanitarian relief operations in the U.S. following Hurricanes Rita and Katrina, coordinating rescue efforts between military and civilian authorities. The data collection capability of the E-3 radar and computer subsystems allowed an entire air war to be recorded for the first time in the history of aerial warfare. In March 1996, the Air Force activated the 513th Air Control Group, an AWACS Reserve Associate Program unit which performs duties on active-duty aircraft. During the spring of 1999, the first AWACS aircraft went through the Radar System Improvement Program. RSIP is a joint U.S./NATO development program that involved a major hardware and software intensive modification to the existing radar system. Installation of RSIP enhanced the operational capability of the E-3 radar electronic counter-measures and has improved the system’s reliability, maintainability and availability.

Klich said Poland has decided to accept an US offer for the rotating stationing of F-16s and Hercules planes on its territory, reported BGNES citing radio TOK FM. The US planes will be taking part in joint drills together with the Polish Air Force, and will be returning to the US. According to Klich, the presence of the US military planes in Poland will be similar to the stationing of the American Patriot missiles that were placed on Polish territory earlier in 2010. Poland, which is traditionally seeking ways to balance its location between Russia and Germany, has drown even closer to the United States with respect to defense coopeartion. Once taboo, talk has resurfaced about the possibility of buying more F-22s. —John A. Tirpak Air Force Magazine Nov. 16, 2010—The Air Force has apparently gotten over one of its biggest taboos: talking internally about the possibility of buying more F-22s. Until recently, USAF was under strict orders not even to think about it, but recent developments have caused the possibility to crop up in some “what if” PowerPoint slides. Those developments include likely further slips in the F-35 strike fighter’s schedule and an upcoming defense acquisition board review of the F-35 expected to be fraught with bad news on cost. That would come on the heels of various deficit-cutting proposals that already suggest cutting the F-35 buy. Without F-35, Air Force fighter inventories will plummet below minimums in coming years as F-16s age out. Extending F-22 production could be the dealmaker if F-35 foes carry the day and compel USAF to take mostly new-build F-16s instead. The Raptors would provide the extra stealth force required to make the non-stealthy F-16s acceptable. Also, if you’ve listened carefully, USAF has gone from saying it will retain a “portion” of F-22 production tooling to “most” and, most recently, to “all.” Gen. William Fraser, head of Air Combat Command, acknowledged last week that Lockheed Martin is filming all F-22 tooling processes as the earliest parts of production shut down, so that it can go back to production of parts—ostensibly for repairs or service life extension—in the future. Also last week, Rep. Phil Gingrey (R-Ga.) said he might spearhead an effort to get more F-22s into the budget. But he acknowledged it could be a difficult task given pressures to rein in spending. Gingrey complained bitterly that the Pentagon prematurely terminated F-22 production, centered in Marietta in his Congressional district, before Russia rolled out its own F-22 clone, the PAK FA, last year.

LeoStella, a specific satellite constellation design and collecting association, passed on its first satellite to Loft Orbital Solutions Inc. (Space Orbital). LeoStella passed on the “Yet Another Mission-3” (YAM-3) satellite to Cape Canaveral for a looming SpaceX launch. The YAM-3 satellite will have a collection of payloads, including a show for the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency’s (DARPA) Blackjack program and an Internet of Things payload for Eutelsat. The satellite is significant for a more broad contract to build and integrate satellite buses for a couple of impending Loft Orbital missions. The delivery of this satellite shows LeoStella’s ability to utilize its reliable amassing line of commercial satellites to respond to transient mission needs. “We have collected a staggering partnership with Loft Orbital,” said Brian Rider, manager development official at LeoStella. “By pulling satellites off our production line, we can tailor them for Loft’s Payload Hub and get them passed on in less than a small part of the time routinely required for a satellite build cycle. Space has a fascinating method to manage ‘Improve on Space’ for their customers. We are happy to be significant for their ecosystem of engaging developments and cycles.” LeoStella’s wise manufacturing office utilizes a software-described electronic measure got together with a generous supply chain to make satellite production more versatile and capable. The assembling plant is designed to help capability, turning out up to 40 satellites every year, and is versatile to keep awake with the rapidly accelerating market demand. “We’re anxious to utilize LeoStella’s gathering abilities to outfit our customers with our in-orbit organizations,” said Pierre-Damien Vaujour, Loft Orbital prime ally and CEO. “We’ve been fascinated by the LeoStella gathering’s deftness and dedication, and we’re expecting expanding our partnership for future missions. Since our Payload Hub is totally practical with LeoStella’s thing, our looming missions will be essentially more trustworthy and passed on to orbit significantly faster.”

An all-metal cantilever monoplane with a twin-fin tail and a retractable landing gear system with tail wheel. This aircraft was designed by OKB-29 of the NKVD's Special Technical Bureau, under the direction of Andrei N. Tupolev, as a twin-engine bomber to operate near the front lines and in raids at the enemy's rear (the project was called "FB," which stood for "front-line bomber"). The 103 (ANT-58) prototype plane made its first flight on January 25, 1941. A production version of the aircraft having two Shvetsov M-82 fourteen-cylinder double-row radial air-cooled engines with a take-off power of 1,700 hp was designated as the 103VS. It differed from the 103V prototype model in its enlarged main landing gear wheels and its simplified equipment. Full-scale production of the aircraft started in March 1942, and the plane was then renamed the Tu-2. The first series was armed with five 7.62mm ShKAS machine guns (including two fixed guns mounted in the nose), two 20mm ShVAK cannons located in the wings, and ten RS-132 unguided rockets. The firepower of the ShKAS machine guns was already considered insufficient by then, and thus the defensive armament on planes already built was upgraded. When the first Tu-2s arrived at the front lines, they were equipped with two or three 12.7mm UBT machine guns instead of the ShKAS models. The final version of the aircraft's defensive armament consisted of two 20mm ShVAK cannons with 150 rounds each, a BUSh-1 blister mount with a 190-round UBT machine gun, an upper VUM-1 defensive turret with a 250-round UBT machine gun, and a LU-UBT hatch mount with a 300-round UBT machine gun. The Tu-2's standard load was 1,000 kg, and its maximum load was 2,000 kg. When overloaded, the aircraft could carry up to 3,000 kg of bombs over a short distance. The payload could be placed inside the bomb bay or on external mounts, and dive bombing was possible in either case. The Tu-2 could carry bombs of different types in various combinations, including FAB-2000, FAB-1000, BRAB-1000, FAB-500, FAB-250, FAB-250TsK, BRAB-220, BRAB-DS-150, and FAB-100 bombs. Ten RS-132 or RS-82 rockets could be suspended under the wings. In some cases, the aluminum used in construction was deficient, so some of the plane's structural parts had to be made of wood, most notably the forward fuselage, the tail cone, and the wing tips. After its combat debut, the Tu-2 received high accolades. It was praised for things such as its high bomb capacity, powerful and lasting air-cooled engines, comfortable crew space, powerful armament, and good flight performance. But the first series of Tu-2s were extremely costly. Moreover, the aircraft suffered from a great number of defects and low production quality. In October 1942, due to the plane's high cost and the urgent need for fighter planes, a strategic decision was made to discontinue production of the Tu-2. Only a total of 80 aircraft had been produced.

The United States Air Force (USAF) awarded US-based defense technology company L3Harris a contract to upgrade the electronic warfare and radar system of its B-52 Stratofortress aircraft. The contract, valued at $947 million, will help the USAF modernize the B-52 heavy bomber’s avionics system for combat operations until 2031. L3Harris will enhance the Stratofortress’s electronic warfare (EW) self-protection system and integrate a combat-proven radiofrequency system that can simultaneously counter multiple electronic spectrum threats without interfering with the aircraft’s operations. “Competition for the electromagnetic spectrum is fierce, and without spectrum dominance, our armed forces lose competitive advantage,” stated Ed Zoiss, president of L3Harris space and airborne systems, on October 5, 2021. “It’s critical to continue upgrading our platforms to maintain spectrum superiority.” L3Harris says it has an option to expand the scope of its work from software sustainment to hardware upgrades under the new contract. The B-52 bomber aircraft have specially-designed countermeasure systems to avoid aerial defensive systems, including radar detection and jamming. L3Harris has supported the B-52 heavy bomber aircraft’s electronic warfare systems for the past five decades. The workhorse of US deterrence The USAF has been focusing on modernizing its B-52 heavy bombers for warfare and combat operations. Rolls-Royce was recently awarded a contract to supply F130 engines for the B-52 Stratofortress fleet under the Commercial Engine Replacement Program (CERP). The B-52 Stratofortress aircraft is a long-range strategic bomber aircraft built and designed by Boeing in the 1950s. The plane can carry weapon payloads up to 70,000 pounds (32,000 kilograms) and fly more than 8,800 miles (14,080 kilometers) without aerial refueling. It is powered by eight engines and was designed to carry nuclear bombs for missions during the cold war. The USAF currently operates 58 of the B-52 bombers in its fleet, which are expected to serve until the 2050s.

The goal of the project The Hound is it to reach an altitude of 100 km using solid rocket motors. That would mean a student world record. After our first attempt failed in 2018 with only reaching an altitude of 13 km, a second attempt was made in September 2019 – again in the desert of Nevada in the US. The team of the The Hound corrected the known issues that were responsible for the failure of the first attempt in 2018 and rebuilt the whole rocket with some small improvements. On launch day in September 2019 however, for up to this day still unknown reasons, the angle of attack of the rocket increased to 16° after 3.5 seconds at a height of 1700 m above ground. That caused the airframe of the upper stage to seperate from the booster motor which further prevented an electric supply of the sensors of the booster. Even though the tracker in the upper stage continued to send data, the apogee could be detected only at about 2200 m over ground instead of 100 km as planned. However, the The Hound team continues to be motivated and is already working on The Hound III, which is supposed to launch in September 2020. After a very succesful CanSat competition in 2018, it was decided to repeat the event in 2019. During the competition highschool student teams build a satellite at the size of a beverage can, which is then ejected from a rocket at an altitude of about 500 m over ground. While approaching ground, the satellite is supposed to measure data which is analyzed and presented on the next day. The competition is hosted by ESERO Austria and the rocket launch is provided by the TU Wien Space Team. It was very successful and many teams participated, which is one of the reasons why it will be held again in 2020, of course again as a cooperation between ESERO Austria and TU Wien Space Team. The project FIRST was first organized in fall 2018. It is supposed to teach new members of the TU Wien Space Team the basics of rocket mechanics in a simple and uncomplicated way. After the recruiting event, which is usually held in the beginning of the winter semester, teams of up to four students are supposed to form. Each team is then supposed to build a small rocket until February, all of that, of course, under the wise eyes of more experienced members. In March 2019 six teams launched their rockets in Straubing/Bayern, all of which had a successful start. All participants were very enthusiastic about the project which is therefore held again in 2019/20. This time it attracted even more attention. Currently (January 2020) 17 teams are motivated to build their very first rockets. Two of the major problems when building a satellite are supplying it with energy and also receiving permission for using suitable frequencies for communication since they are limited. DISCO One wants to solve those problems by using a technology called modulated retro reflectors (MRR). A pulsed laser is sent from ground to the satellite where it is reflected to the ground station by the moduled reflectors. Using that modulation data can be sent back to the ground station. That technology enables the team to save space on the satellite as well as energy onboard. It also solves the problem of limited frequencies for sending data to the ground station. After the recruiting event in 2019 many new members were interested in the project which led to the DISCO One team growing from five to thirteen people. A two day workshop was held to introduce them to the project and also to the team. As soon as the satellite is constructed and built, the goal is to launch DISCO One with the help of ESA’s program “Fly your Satellite”. Cooperating with the University of Toronto Aerospace Team (UTAT) the TU Wien Space Team takes part in the Base11 Space Challenge. The goal is to launch a rocket to space (an altitude of 100 km) using a self-built one stage liquid propellant rocket in a time period of two years. In spring 2019 the Preliminary Design Review (PDR) was composed together with the UTAT colleagues. It holds the complete concept for a “spaceshot” with liquid propellant. In the course of the challenge the team was also able to visit the New Space Company “Firefly Aerospace”. In summer the team was able to conduct the first successful fluid engine tests in Austria. In order to build a bigger test stand the team members were then looking for a trailer for some time. After one was found and bought, the construction of the test stand is at work. It will be suited for engines up to 10 kN and will the first in Austria of it’s kind. Before FIRST was introduced, the STR-series used to be the project best fit for new Space Team members. It was carried out again this year. As usual, the rocket was launched at the international rocket flight day C’Space in France in July. Even though the launch itself was a partial success, after a few seconds the fins broke off as they were not connected well to the body tube. A hard lesson for the Space Team newbies. A part of the STR-project is to test something new and innovative using the STR rocket which can later also be used for other projects. With STR-09 a new mechanism for separating the top from the body tube should have been tested. Already in 2016 the Space Team started to work on so-called SpaceSeeds together with students from Würzburg, Germany. Inspired by the shape of maple seeds the Daedalus SpaceSeeds were designed to slow down their decent from an altitude of 75km without requiring a parachute. A successful launch from Kiruna, Sweden, in early 2019 ended the Daedalus project. We managed to recover all three SpaceSeeds and are already thinking about a Daedalus follow-up project. As every year, in 2019 the TU Wien Space Team presented itself at different occasions and events. Some examples are two United Nations fora, the German Aerospace Congress, the Ars Electronica in Linz, a career fair at Freihaus TU Wien and at the Comic Con Vienna. Of course, like every year, the TU Wien Space Team also organized a Space Event which was the sixth of its kind. At the event several people held a speech, among them also the former project leader of the ESA-mission MarsExpress Rudolf Schmidt. Also, a comedian which is known as “Gunkl” had a performance at the event, which was loved by the audience.

SINGAPORE/SEATTLE (Reuters) - An optional warning light could have alerted engineers about mechanical faults on Lion Air’s Boeing 737 MAX jet that crashed last month, experts said, sparking an industry debate over whether installing the system should become mandatory. Lion Air did not install the AOA DISAGREE alert, which warns pilots when the “angle of attack” (AOA) readings do not match, because it is optional and not required by regulators, Managing Director Daniel Putut told Reuters. The angle is a key flight parameter that must remain narrow enough to preserve lift and avoid an aerodynamic stall. A faulty AOA reading led the doomed Lion Air jet’s computer to believe it was stalled, prompting the plane’s new anti-stall system, called the Maneuvering Characteristics Augmentation System (MCAS), to repeatedly push down the nose. That made it harder for pilots to control the Boeing jet which crashed on Oct. 29, killing all 189 people on board, Indonesian investigators told parliament last week. “In retrospect, clearly it would have been wise to include the warning as standard equipment and fully inform and train operators on MCAS,” said Clint Balog, a professor at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University. “I expect you will see this warning included in future MAX production and retrofitted into already delivered MAX aircraft.” Boeing and the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) made the AOA alert an optional feature for the 737 MAX, meaning it was not deemed critical for safe operation. The FAA has said it will continue to participate in Indonesia’s investigation into the Lion Air crash and take further action if needed based on findings from the probe. Indonesia’s civil aviation regulator said it would follow the FAA’s lead as to whether the AOA DISAGREE alert should be made mandatory for local airlines. (GRAPHIC: Lion Air crash investigation - tmsnrt.rs/2RiugFP) DEBATE ON COCKPIT INFORMATION There has been a long-running industry debate about how much information should be displayed in the cockpit, notably about the angle at which the wing is slicing through the air. Several carriers, including American Airlines, Southwest Airlines, Canada’s WestJet, Singapore Airlines offshoot SilkAir and Dubai’s flydubai, said the AOA DISAGREE alert was installed on their 737 MAX jets before the Lion Air crash. Some airlines have also installed a separate optional gauge that gives pilots a direct AOA reading in the cockpit. American Airlines and SilkAir already have the gauge, while Southwest said it decided after the Lion Air crash to install the gauge on future 737 MAX deliveries to provide “supplemental visual feedback for identifying erroneous AOA data”. Air Canada said it would install the gauge “soon” but did not clarify whether it had made the decision before or after the Lion Air crash. Boeing declined to comment on customer selections. (GRAPHIC: Lion Air crash report - tmsnrt.rs/2PZxjWN) The planemaker has come under fire in the wake of the Lion Air crash for not outlining the automated system, MCAS, in the flight manual for the 737 MAX. The new anti-stall system had also automatically pushed down the nose of the doomed Lion Air 737 MAX jet on its penultimate flight from Denpasar to Jakarta on the evening before the crash. The pilots had told engineers there had been a disagreement of altitude and airspeed readings based on cockpit alerts, a preliminary report released by Indonesian investigators shows. There was, however, no mention of an AOA disagreement in their write-up, according to the report, and the plane was dispatched on its final flight the next morning from Jakarta. It crashed into the Java Sea and investigators have yet to determine the cause. Having the AOA DISAGREE alert installed would “definitely” have helped, “not in the least for discussion with the mechanic and entry in the flight log as information for the mechanics”, Leeham Co analyst Bjorn Fehrm said. “I think given the introduction of MCAS, Boeing should make AOA DISAGREE a free and mandatory update,” Fehrm added. The alert was offered as an option on the 737 MAX’s predecessor, the 737NG, and several carriers contacted by Reuters said they had installed it on the older model too. The alert light turns on when the AOA indications disagree by more than 10 degrees for 10 continuous seconds, according to an American Airlines 737 MAX flight manual obtained by Reuters. The doomed Lion Air jet had a 20 degree disparity throughout its last two flights, the Indonesian report shows. The AOA DISAGREE alert could have aided if it was reported after the penultimate flight, professor Balog from Embry-Riddle said. “Maintenance, if they knew about MCAS, would have known the potential for trouble that warning light would indicate.” “The bigger question here is did Boeing realize the potential for this scenario if MCAS received bad AOA data?” Boeing is weighing whether to launch a software upgrade to MCAS in six to eight weeks to help address the scenario faced by the Lion Air crew, Reuters reported, citing two people briefed on the matter.
