Here is a space weather update as we head into Saturday, August 13th. The solar X-Rays during the past 24 hours was at fairly quiet, although increased levels with a number of low level minor C-Flares detected. AR 3076, newly assigned AR 3079 and a new active region forming in the northeast quadrant will be the most likely sources for additional C-Flares. An isolated moderate M-Flare could also become a possibility should sunspot growth and magnetic complexity continue to evolve as well. A long coronal hole (CH14) stretching from the southern hemisphere to the north could be the source of a high speed solar wind stream past Earth later next week. This will be monitored over the next several days. All imagery courtesy of SDO/HMI/AIA. Stay tuned to SolarHam.com for the latest space weather news and information.

Video: Sustainable Space Finland’s first Science Satellite will be sent to space in June 2022. Right now we are launching more spacecraft to space than ever in the human history and that is then seen as a space debris problem. There are two debris problems, the old debris, which is already there, and the new debris which is coming from the new launches. And this satellite is looking at the new debris problem. Most important points in preventing new debris is this satellite measures the environmental conditions, so that we can understand what the environment is, so that we can build more durable spacecraft. The other thing that we are doing here is we are testing the orbiting technology, which is going to take the spacecraft out of the orbit when the mission is done. We think we know how near earth space works. We do not. And that is why it is very important to send spacecraft to take measurements from the near-earth space.

Featured below is an unedited email from Robert Barrow from August 2017 keeping us up to date with his fantastic experimental aircraft which Race Paint/Fleeting Image painted in a multi award-winning design. VH-EFX continues to win major awards. At the Avalon International Airshow earlier this year it won Best Amateur-Built Aircraft. Avalon is the biggest airshow in the southern hemisphere and the competition for this award was keen, a LOT of amateur-built aircraft were there vying for this award. As a result of the awards it has won and the publicity attached thereto, the plane is becoming one of the best known Experimental aircraft in Australia, ever! Of course the eye-catching paint job is a big part of the appeal. No-one can forget it. When we first discussed the paint job I told you that I was building a very fussy show plane. I had 6500 hours over 11 years invested in the build and I was looking for a paint job that would be commensurate with the quality of the construction. Actually I had you earmarked for the paint job years before the plane was due to be painted. I was convinced years earlier that you had both the technical expertise and the artistic creativity to produce a showplane finish to the quality I desired. In the end we obviously both came to the conclusion that handpainting a fixed wing plane properly to an artistic finish is a very demanding task from a logistical point of view. So many parts to dismantle and reassemble. And all of them so very fragile and easy to damage. The painting process was a very nervous time for me. At various times I was concerned that the sliding canopy could be damaged, or a wing dropped, or small but difficult-to-replace parts lost etc etc. So I was a bit stressed through the ordeal and I probably passed some of that stress on to you, sorry for that! But in the end we worked together to produce something that was both beautiful and worthwhile. I see you have the plane on your Fleeting Image website, that’s terrific! In retrospect I think if I was doing something similar again I’d do it differently. I’d paint the aircraft a single base colour myself and get you to apply some groovy wraps. I’ve attached a pic of the plane taken earlier this year in Bendigo (where I now live). That’s me in the plane with my daughter Skye and my grandson Arkady. Anyway, I haven’t forgotten you John. We did something special together. And give my regards to Lucy.

Stuttgart-based German aerospace firm H2FLY has claimed a brand new world file for its four-seater HY4, which grew to become the primary hydrogen-powered passenger plane to succeed in an altitude above 7,000 ft (2,134 m) on April 13. In addition, the HY4 made the primary flight by a hydrogen-powered passenger craft from one main airport to a different, touring 77 miles (124 km) from Stuttgart to Friedrichshafen on April 12. First taking to the air in 2016, the HY4 with its distinctive twin-fuselage design relies on the Pipistrel Taurus G4 plane. However, the place the G4 is an all-electric plane, the HY4 is a hybrid design powered by a low-temperature hydrogen gas cell system developed by the DLR Institute of Engineering Thermodynamics (DLR) in affiliation with Hydrogenics. To save weight, the hydrogen is saved below a stress beneath 5,800 psi in two carbon composite tanks, one in every fuselage. These feed into the gas cell, whereas lithium-ion batteries present an influence increase throughout moments of peak demand by the 80-kW electrical motor. The plane has a cruising pace of 90 mph (145 km/h) and a projected vary of as much as 900 miles (1,500 km) below minimal payload and optimum flight circumstances. “This is a remarkable achievement for H2FLY, as no other hydrogen-powered passenger aircraft has flown between two commercial airports to date,” mentioned Dr. Josef Kallo, co-founder and CEO of H2FLY. “We are also thrilled to have set what we believe to be a new world record by reaching an altitude of over 7,000 feet with our HY4 aircraft. We want to thank our long-time partners Stuttgart Airport, University of Ulm, DLR Stuttgart, Friedrichshafen Airport, and AERO Friedrichshafen, for supporting us in our mission to make sustainable travel a reality.” Looking to usher in an period of emission-free, sustainable air journey, H2FLY expects to be flying hydrogen-electric plane carrying as much as 40 passengers distances of as much as 1,240 miles (2,000 km) in “just a few years.” Source: H2FLY (pdf)

First flights for the UK team last weekend. Unfortunately the wind speed was only 2, or 3M/sec so the competition was cancelled. But as you can see that even in this tiny breath of air, the Redshift still flew very well. Words from Top UK pilot and Redshift F3f Team member: "Loving the airframe - design, colours, flight attributes....it represents such a different approach to F3F. Very impressed with the straight line speed, tracking and responsiveness. As we predicted, its caused a bit of a stir within the UK F3F community, and that was in 2.5 - 3m/s wind speed!" Other UK team members John Philips and Mark Passigham's planes should take to the air this coming weekend - if the weather permits. Last weekend's video can be seen here: Well, Greg and I managed a good result on Sunday with the Redshifts, there first competitive outing in the UK. Greg was 6th and I was 5th. Greg was fastest in two rounds and me one out of the nine flown Only a point or two apart, the plane shows a lot of potential and make a fantastic noise when moving at speed. I’m sure Greg is off the same opinion. I intend to fly the Redshift as my number one plane this year in the UK, as to the European/world cups not so sure it will work in the lighter air we tend to have there, but it will be with me so could happen Still more to come from this plane, it’s different in looks but I feel the wing is right. You don’t want to change the look of the plane, just the handling, the main thing is to keep the noise it makes Hi Konrad, the Redshift uses a new wing design which concentrates on trying to manage the airflow. This means that I wanted to know pretty much whats happening with any of it when its traveling at competition speeds. A few things came out of the study. 1. There is no substitute for aspect ratio if you want a fast sailplane. 2. The planform makes a lot more difference than people might think. 3. You don't want moving control surfaces close to the wing tips. YES the further out they go, the more effective they become. But the wingtips are where most of our trouble starts on sailplanes, and the more you disturb them, the greater the chance of that trouble occurring. I wanted to keep them clean. 4. I want the vortices concentrated where I know where they are, and where they can hopefully be controlled by the wing shape and the tip profiles. What I don't want is a ragged shedding of the boundary layer here, there, and everywhere - even if it is quieter. If the planform works - with the wing getting to high speeds, then the vortices will be there at high pressure and they will be noisy. The Redshift has a strange kind of noise ONLY at high speed and I call it a "Twistle" The Redshift makes a very special noise - its quite unlike anything you have heard.

The National Transportation Safety Board on Thursday released the preliminary results of its investigation into the mid-air plane crash last month at Watsonville Municipal Airport that killed three people. While not offering any fresh information, the report does give a detailed look at the crash, which occurred Aug. 18 at about 2:55pm. According to the report, a Cessna 152 flown by Stuart Camenson was performing touch-and-go landings, and was coming in for another landing when Carl Kruppa, flying a Cessna 340 northeast of the airport, reported that he was 10 miles out and planned to land on runway 20. About one minute later, Camenson reported that he was on the crosswind leg, then shortly after reported that he was on the downwind leg for runway 20. Kruppa reported that he was three miles out and straight-in for runway 20, and soon radioed that he was one mile out and straight in for the runway. He also said he was looking for air traffic. Camenson reported that he saw the Cessna 340 behind him, and added that he was going to go around, “because you are coming up on me pretty quick.” Multiple witnesses then said they saw and heard the two airplanes collide. A pilot who was flying over the airport at 1,300 feet said he saw the Cessna 340 close on the Cessna 152’s tail. The Cessna 340 then banked to the right, and its left wing struck the Cessna 152. The pilot then saw both airplanes crash. Another witness who took a photo of the two airplanes as they approached the airport said that the Cessna 340 appeared to be in a steep right bank, and that the Cessna 152 appeared to be in a slight “nose-low attitude.” Camenson’s plane crashed on the airport property about 1,200 feet northeast of the approach end of runway 20. The left wing separated from the airplane and came to rest about 500 feet northeast of the main wreckage. The left horizontal stabilizer and elevator separated and came to rest about 380 feet northeast of the main wreckage. Two small sections of the Cessna 340’s left tip tank were located near the Cessna 152 wreckage. The Cessna 340 came to rest in a hangar located on the southeast side of the airport. All major pieces of the Cessna 340 were located in the debris area. Both aircraft were recovered and secured in a storage facility pending further examination. The crash also killed Kruppa’s wife, Nannette Plett-Kruppa, and a dog that was also aboard their plane.

The management of Dana Air, on Thursday, disclosed that the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) suspended its operations in order for the Airline to undergo a full operational audit from midnight of July 20, 2022. Responding to the suspension of their operations, the management of the Dana Air blamed the recent skyrocketing cost of aviation fuel, also known as Jet A1 at 830/litre, unavailability of forex and inflation, as the reasons behind NCAA’s action. Recall that the director-general of NCAA, Capt. Musa Nuhu, had on Wednesday night, announced the suspension of Dana Airlines’ Air Transport Licence (ATL) and Air Operator Certificate (AOC) indefinitely, with effect from midnight of Wednesday, July 20, 2022. The suspension, according to NCAA, was made pursuant to Section 35(2), 3(b) and (4) of the Civil Aviation Act, 2006 and Part 18.104.22.168(a)(1) of the Nigeria Civil Aviation Regulations (Nig.CARs), 2015. He said, “The decision is the outcome of a financial and economic health audit carried out on the Airline by the Authority, and the findings of an investigation conducted on the Airline’s flight operations recently, which revealed that Dana Airlines is no longer in a position to meet its financial obligations and to conduct safe flight operations. “The NCAA acknowledges the negative effect this preemptive decision will have on the Airline’s passengers and the travelling public and seeks their understanding, as the safety of flight operations takes priority over all other considerations.” Meanwhile, the Airline has also expressed readiness and commitment to the cause of the audit, saying Dana Air is safe, efficient and reliable. The statement reads, “our operations have been suspended as advised by the NCAA in order to undergo a full operational audit with effect from midnight 20th July, 2022. Operational audits are regulatory and airlines are obligated to suspend their operations when the NCAA calls for it and we understand the impact this suspension will have on our partners, staff, passengers and the general public but we are very confident that we would come out stronger as we have done in the past. Read Also: Oyo gets new police commissioner “We wish to assure the NCAA that we are fully ready and committed to cooperating with them in the course of this audit and to also reassure our customers and partners that we are safe, efficient and reliable.” “The recent skyrocketing cost of Jet A1 at 830/litre, unavailability of forex, inflation are also contributory factors to this decision regrettably. “We crave the understanding and patience of our customers, travel and business partners and sincerely apologize for any inconvenience our short absence from the market might cause. “Our customer service team will continue to operate 24/7 to assist affected customers with necessary information on refunds and our offices will be open to all our existing partners.” Kindly contact us @ [email protected] Call or Whatsapp: 07035262029, 07016666694, 08129340000

CBS News Space shows launch windows for STS-135, from the July 8th projected date all the way until July 28th. I really hope it isn’t delayed. As with all the Tweetupers, I’m trying to figure out how long I could wait. Saturday the 9th? Sure. Monday the 11th? I don’t know. With uncertainty rising with each passing day. The launch window starts at 11:26AM on July 8th, for 10 minutes. On the other hand, if it’s delayed as far as, say, July 23rd, the launch window is around 5:30AM. It will be a (dum dum DUM!) Night Launch! Yes, that could be better.

Starliner Launch Brings Learning to Life This post was written by Elizabeth Jones, a member of the FLVS social media team. I recently had the opportunity to watch Boeing’s CST-100 Starliner make its debut flight to the International Space Station. This was a great opportunity to see the impacts of career and technical education in action! As part of NASA’s Commercial Crew Program, this was the first uncrewed Orbital Flight Test for Boeing’s CST-100 Starliner. The Starliner’s mission was to dock with the International Space Station and test various systems – bringing it one step closer to becoming an astronaut spacecraft. The Starliner launched atop the United Launch Alliance (ULA) Atlas V rocket from Cape Canaveral on Friday, Dec. 20 at 6:36 AM EST. Prior to launch, I had the opportunity to tour the Kennedy Space Center facilities to learn more about Boeing’s Starliner. On my tour, I visited areas used to prepare vehicles for their trip to space, including the Vehicle Assembly Building (VAB), Boeing’s Commercial Crew and Cargo Processing Facility (C3PF), and the gate of Cape Canaveral Air Force Station’s Space Launch Complex 41. When we got to the Launch Complex, we were met by NASA Administrator Jim Bridenstine who shared his excitement for the upcoming launch: “We’re on the cusp of launching American astronauts on American rockets from American soil. One of those rockets, the Atlas V, is behind us with the Starliner on top…this is the beginning of this new era and tomorrow’s flight is really the first end-to-end test of the Starliner so we can learn what we need to learn, make adjustments, and then get ready to launch our astronauts again for the first time since 2011, the retirement of the Space Shuttle. So, this is a big deal for us. It’s a big deal for the United States of America and, in fact, for the world.” Although the Starliner didn’t carry humans during this trip, it had its first passenger, Rosie, an anthropometric test device present to collect data from the commander’s seat! The data gives NASA and Boeing more insight on what an astronaut will experience. “We’re going to learn things on this uncrewed test flight that will allow us to make them better,” said former astronaut Bob Cabana. As the launch ticked closer, the NASA and Boeing teams worked through the night to prepare the Atlas V and Starliner for the early morning flight. The launch was scheduled for 6:36 AM with a window of opportunity of only a few seconds. With a new day just breaking, the Atlas V and Starliner successfully launched! Starliner was scheduled to connect to the International Space Station and return to Earth nine days later. Unfortunately, because of miscalculations, the Starliner did not reach it’s intended orbit to connect with the International Space Station. The NASA and Boeing teams were able to reroute Starliner safely back to Earth. On Sunday, Dec. 22 the Starliner successfully landed in White Sands, New Mexico, just two days after its initial launch. “We know that we’ve got a lot of learning in front of us,” said Bridenstine “but we have enough information and data to keep moving forward in a very positive way.” As this mission proved, there is always something new to learn – even when things don’t go as planned. As Boeing and NASA prepare Starliner for its next test flight, Bridenstine says that there’s “no shortage of opportunities, from an engineering to a science perspective, maybe even from a human space-life perspective,” encouraging students to pursue STEM programs and careers! Florida Virtual School continues to expand STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) and CTE (career and technical education) course offerings for students in all grade levels. Our newest addition, M/J Coding Fundamentals, teaches middle and junior high students how to code and creates a strong foundation for future opportunities in programming, software development, engineering, and more.

The Supermarine Spitfire was a single-seater fighter plane, one of the most important aircraft of the Second World War (1939-45). Employed by the Royal Air Force in such crucial encounters as the Battle of Britain in the summer of 1940, the Spitfire gained legendary status thanks to its graceful lines and superlative manoeuvrability. In the pre-war years, the Royal Air Force (RAF) remained preoccupied with biplanes, but designer Reginald J. Mitchell came up with a new concept, the Spitfire single-seat monoplane with distinctive elliptical wings. It was also armed with eight machine guns and so could certainly spit fire. The company that built these supermodern machines was Supermarine, a firm that had already won three Schneider Trophies, the annual prize for the fastest seaplane in the world. Supermarine was owned by the giant armaments firm Vickers Armstrong and was able to secure powerful new engines from Rolls Royce. A Spitfire prototype was built in January 1935, and the first flying model appeared in March 1936. The first test pilot was impressed and stated as he climbed out of the plane, "Don't touch anything" (Saunders, 15). The first operational planes were coming off the production line by May 1938. The delay in production highlighted the need to diversify the building process, and the Morris car company was approached to ensure the new fighter could be mass-produced quickly enough to meet the growing threat from Nazi Germany. 1,000 Spitfires were ordered, then the largest-ever aircraft contract in Britain's history. Not a few upgrades were soon made such as fitting machine guns and a cannon in each wing, making the windscreen bulletproof, and adding armour plating around the engine. By 1939, one Spitfire found itself in the French Air Force, but such was its performance and manoeuvrability, the fighter was eventually used by many countries, including Australia, New Zealand, Canada, the United States, Greece, Turkey, Egypt, and the USSR. A raging success, the Spitfire was the only Allied fighter to be continuously manufactured throughout WWII, and the RAF alone operated over 20,000 of the fighters between 1938 and 1947. There was even a naval version with folding wings, which was built for use on aircraft carriers and was called the Supermarine Seafire. The Spitfire had a total length of 29 ft 11 in (9.12 m) and a wingspan of 36 ft 10 in (11.23 m). Constantly updated through its years of war service, the specifications of the Spitfire varied across 24 models, with capabilities depending not only on design tweaks but also on armament configuration and the altitude flown at. Most Spitfires had a Rolls-Royce Merlin supercharged V12 engine, like the Lancaster bomber, Hawker Hurricane (the RAF's second-choice fighter), and American P-51 Mustang. The Mark XIV Spitfire was given an even more powerful Rolls-Royce Griffon V12 engine capable of 2,050 hp (1529 kW). The Spitfire's maximum speed was 448 mph (721 km/h), although something around 350 mph (563 km/h) was more usual. The maximum operational altitude was around 35,000 ft (10,668 m), although later versions could reach up to 43,000 ft (13,105 m). The Rolls-Royce engines were a crucial factor in performance: "It seemed that Merlins could withstand any amount of abuse. It was one of the few engines that could tolerate full power loads for long periods" (Cawthorne, 140). The undercarriage was retractable, which greatly increased the aerodynamics, but this innovation for British planes caused many a pilot to forget to put the wheels down, and so they not infrequently performed a "belly-landing" to the horror of squadron leaders. The initial armament was eight (0.303 in / 7.7 mm) Browning machine guns, but these evolved into a standard two machine guns (0.5 in / 12.7 mm) and two Hispano cannons (0.8 in / 20 mm) in each wing (although there were other variations, too). The Spitfire carried ammunition drums of 300 or 350 rounds for each machine gun, which meant that in reality, a pilot could only fire these for a total of 14 to 15 seconds (a German Me 109 could fire for 55 seconds). On the other hand, a three-second burst would fire 60 rounds per gun, so all four firing could plough 240 bullets into a target in a short burst, which was usually aimed under the enemy aircraft as the fighter approached from below. The canons fired at a much slower rate and had 60 shells each (later doubled to 120). The 0.303 bullets could pass through non-vital areas of a bomber and do little harm, but a cannon shell left a hole the size of a fist and so was much more effective against larger planes. Pilots had illuminated gun sights positioned in front of the lower part of the windscreen, which could be adjusted depending on the wingspan of the enemy plane. The Spitfire was designed as a fighter, but it could also carry a single 500-lb (227 kg) bomb or two 250-lb bombs or rockets fired from launchers fixed under the wings. The normal range of a Spitfire was around 575 miles (925 km). An extra fuel tank could be fitted to each wing and under the fuselage for long-range missions, adding an extra 100 gallons (420 litres) of fuel or more. Some later Spitfires had their distinctive wing tips clipped to a straight edge, which improved their ability to roll. The plane's colour scheme varied depending on location. For Europe, a light blue undercarriage and dark green-brown camouflage on the upper part was common while in desert warfare the camouflage scheme was yellow and brown. The first Spitfire squadron was formed in July-August 1938, No. 19 Squadron based at Duxford; more quickly followed. The standard squadron had 12 Spitfires. Arranged in groups of three, they flew sorties over the Continent, but their range was limited. The first enemy planes to be shot down in British air space, two German bombers over Scotland, were victims of a Spitfire attack on 16 October 1939. Spitfires were stationed in France at the beginning of the war but were withdrawn after the debacle of the Dunkirk retreat in May-June 1940. Fighters desperately tried to protect the evacuation fleet – 106 fighters were lost; of these, 67 were Spitfires. The RAF now had to regroup and prepare for a German invasion of Britain, an attack that would be preceded by a bombing campaign. Sandy Johnstone, then a Flight Lieutenant, describes flying a Spitfire hunting enemy bombers over Britain: As the twelve Spitfires manoeuvred into formation, and climbed for the east, I glanced down at my watch. Under ninety seconds. Not bad…I started to wonder if we'd be too late again…I had to start thinking tactics, we should really add a couple of thousand feet to our directed height, better to be a little too high than caught in the murderous fire raining down from the 109s…Simmering in the morning sun, wave upon wave of bombers, driving for London. Stepped above and behind, the serried ranks of Messerschmitts. Covering mile upon mile of sky, as far as the eye could see. It was at once magnificent and terrible. (Cawthorne, 25). Another pilot, Group Captain Adolph "Sailor" Malan, who was the top RAF ace of 1940, wrote down the following rules for new pilots, a list which was distributed by Fighter Command and so was often found tacked to the wall of fighter mess halls: - Wait until you see the whites of their eyes. Fire short bursts of one or two seconds and only when your sights are definitely "on". - While shooting think of nothing else, brace the whole body, have both hands on the stick, concentrate on your ring sight. - Always keep a sharp lookout. "Keep your finger out". - Height gives you the initiative. - Always turn and face the attack. - Make your decisions promptly. It is better to act quickly even though your tactics are not the best. - Never fly straight and level for more than 30 seconds in the combat area. - When diving to attack always leave a proportion of your formation above to act as a top guard. - INITIATIVE, AGGRESSION, AIR DISCIPLINE and TEAMWORK are words that MEAN something in air fighting. - Go in quickly - Punch hard - Get out. The fighter plane, still being developed in response to active use, would become crucial to the defence of Britain, taking on enemy fighters and providing escort for RAF bombers going the other direction. Spitfires were also used as fighter-bombers. When fitted with two vertical cameras, Spitfires could be used as long-range reconnaissance aircraft. There was also a version with a pressurised cabin that could operate at high altitudes, useful for tracking high-altitude bombers and weather patterns. During WWII, Spitfires saw service in the Mediterranean, northern Europe, Italy, North Africa, the Middle East, Malaya, Burma, and the Pacific. Of all these theatres of war, one in particular would secure the Spitfire's iconic status: the skies over Britain. Battle of Britain After the fall of France, Adolf Hitler turned his attention to invading Britain (Operation Sea Lion), but first, he would have to secure the skies and free them from the enemy planes which would wreak havoc on any invasion force crossing the English Channel. So began what became known as the Battle of Britain in the summer of 1940, officially dated as 10 July to 31 October by the Air Ministry. At the start of the Battle of Britain, the RAF had just 19 Spitfire squadrons. The combined number of Spitfires and Hurricanes was 331, although many more aircraft were in production. The Luftwaffe (German Air Force) was numerically far superior to the RAF, now in desperate need of more pilots as well as more planes. Home advantage was an important factor since the German fighters had far less time in the skies above Britain before their fuel ran out. Another advantage was that German pilots obliged to bail out and use their parachutes, if they survived, became prisoners of war. This was a battle where men were just as vital as machines, and training pilots and replacing losses became problematic for both sides. Another British advantage was radar, which communicated to fighter squadrons approximately when and where German planes were flying. The Observer Corps, a volunteer group, took over from radar when the planes passed the electronic listening stations. The Luftwaffe, because of the production emphasis on dive bombers, lacked the heavy bombers needed to really obliterate strategic targets such as airfields. On the other side, a bomber could withstand a great deal of punishment from the small calibre machine guns of fighter planes. It was also true that because it took the British fighters up to 20 minutes to assemble and reach the necessary altitude, the German escort fighters were often ready and waiting for them. The battle would be finely balanced with both sides never entirely sure of their enemy's losses. To ensure as many planes as possible could be put into battle, there began the Spitfire Fund campaign, which called for civilians to give what they could. The campaign called for £5,000 to fund a Spitfire (they actually cost around £12,000 each). People responded, townsfolk got together, Boy Scouts raised funds by doing odd jobs, local newspapers ran subscription campaigns, and collection tins were rattled in offices, pubs, and churches. Lord Beaverbrook, head of the Ministry for Aircraft Production, was behind the scheme, and he was utterly ruthless in getting more aircraft made as quickly as possible. Paperwork was eliminated, production problems immediately dealt with, and labour rules ignored so that by June 1940, 300 aircraft were being built each week, and 250 damaged ones were repaired back into service (a crucial statistic since up to 30% of planes were damaged by accidents as opposed to enemy fire). To guard against destruction by enemy bombers, Spitfire factories were dispersed throughout Britain. The Spitfire was more manoeuvrable than its main German fighter rival the Messerschmitt Bf 109 (aka Me 109E), but the latter could dive better thanks to its fuel-injection engine. Both planes had a similar top speed. The German fighter had a better firing range, but the Spitfire could fire its armaments in a more concentrated fire of bullets (at the right distance from the target). The two planes were evenly matched at the outset, but crucially, the Spitfire was continuously improved with design tweaks as the intense air battle progressed, such as a better cooling system for the engines which tended to overheat. The second fighter of the RAF was the Hawker Hurricane, slower than the Spitfire and Me 109E but a reliable aircraft. Much to the chagrin of pilots, there were many more Hurricanes than Spitfires available. In the latter stages of the Battle of Britain, Spitfires and Hurricanes were used as a single tactical unit of 60 aircraft, a formation known as a 'Big Wing'. These fighters, as all fighters, were ordered to prioritise hitting the bombers. The Luftwaffe could attack from bases across the Channel and in Scandinavia. The Germans also kept the British guessing by continuously switching targets such as Channel shipping, coastal towns, airfields, radar stations, and London. In the end, RAF fighter pilots, who included many from the Empire nations and allies such as Poland and France, fought off the Luftwaffe threat, whose losses became unsustainable. The RAF had won the Battle of Britain, and the Spitfire entered legendary status. The RAF's total aircraft losses were around 788 compared to the Luftwaffe's 1,294 (Dear, 127). By October, the Germans changed strategy again and focussed on the nighttime bombing of cities, a heavy blow for civilians but strategically a much less important target. The Luftwaffe's decision ensured that the RAF maintained air superiority. Operation Sea Lion was abandoned. This new phase of the war included the London Blitz, but many other cities suffered too, as did German ones as the RAF retaliated in kind. Suddenly, the Western Front had changed from a conflict involving relatively few highly trained military specialists to one involving hundreds of thousands of civilians. In the Battle of Britain, Spitfires shot down 529 enemy aircraft while 361 Spitfires were lost (Saunders, 27). Crucially, the RAF ended the battle stronger overall than it had started in terms of planes and pilots available. The Luftwaffe more or less maintained its strength, but it had lost many of its best pilots, a result which had consequences for Germany's subsequent attack on Russia in Operation Barbarossa in June 1941. The Spitfires continued in service, but their short range limited their role in Europe until after D-day in June 1944 when they could begin to fly from bases in France again. The Rolls-Royce Merlin engine fitted to Mark IX Spitfires was fitted to the P-51 Mustang, the American plane that, thanks to the greater altitude the engine permitted and its superior range, changed air warfare from 1944. The RAF's last operational Spitfires were withdrawn from service in 1954. The Spitfire, largely because of its crucial role in the Battle of Britain, has gained iconic status. Surely, no other model plane has adorned children's bedrooms in greater numbers. The Spitfire, with its speed and grace of line, remains a star performer at air shows worldwide thanks to the 50 or so examples still flying, and various museums have Spitfires on permanent display, notably the Imperial War Museum and Science Museum, both in London, the city the plane did so much to defend.

Soldiers with the Alaska Army National Guard’s 1st Battalion, 207th Aviation Regiment rescued two stranded men and a pilot on a moose hunting trip last fall after their plane crashed near St. Mary’s, Alaska. The Alaska Rescue Coordination Center (AKRCC) at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson was contacted by a commercial air taxi service after the pilot of the aircraft activated his SPOT personal satellite beacon and reported the crash. The AKRCC contacted the Alaska Army National Guard to request assistance from the aviation unit in Bethel. A UH-60 Black Hawk helicopter and aircrew from the 1-207th departed the Army National Guard’s Army Aviation Operating Facility (AAOF) in Bethel around 9 p.m. on Sept. 3, 2018. “The pilot had a SPOT beacon and satellite phone, which helped tremendously with finding their location and being able to help them out as quickly as possible,” said CPT Andrew Adams, the Black Hawk pilot and commander of the AAOF. CPT Adams said the AAOF was informed that the passengers had been moose hunting, and after harvesting the moose, they flew back to their vehicles to drop off their gear. They were headed back to pick up the carcass when the crash occurred. “We found them on a hillside near the ridge line with the plane flipped over,” CPT Adams said. “They didn’t have any of their gear, so they weren’t prepared for the elements and had no source for a fire. They were huddled near the fuselage under a tarp or cover waiting for us, and it had become pretty dark at that point.” CPT Adams said the Guard team was able to communicate with the pilot en route to the accident location, allowing them to discuss protocols once the helicopter landed. The pilot agreed to flash lights from the plane headlamps when he and his passengers saw the incoming helicopter. “It saved time, although we already had the exact coordinates,” CPT Adams said. “It was just helpful to be able to see them as they waited for us.” Alaska State Troopers were waiting to assist the pilot and passengers after the Guard team delivered them to the AAOF. The AKRCC requests that all pilots traveling in Alaska have an emergency locater beacon on their aircraft and supplies for long-term survival. A satellite phone is also highly recommended. The AKRCC and the 1-207th Aviation Battalion were awarded three saves for this mission. By LTC Candis Olmstead, Alaska National Guard

In Industry News on Coinis takes part in the first Montenegrin space program! Remember Felix Baumgartner and his jump from the edge of space? Remember the view from 38,969.3 meters (135,000 feet) altitude? You sure do. So does the group of young people from Montenegro – Nina, Nikola, and Filip (Montenegro Space Research) who were fascinated with that accomplishment. Today, they started working on an exciting project consisting of three stages. The first should send a CubeSat device to the same altitude to perform some interesting measurements and take several cool photos. The second stage -“Luča 1”- aims to bring a payload to an even higher altitude, the so-called Kármán’s line – 100 km (62 miles) or to get close to it. And in the last, third stage, they hope to send the payload into orbit from that same altitude – and in that case, it would become the first Montenegrin satellite. And all of that with a balloon! Yes, you heard it well! Balloons, such as weather balloons, have been used for years to send objects to higher altitudes; however, unlike fuel-powered rockets, which spend most of their fuel just to leave Earth’s atmosphere. Weather balloon launches are also more eco-friendly as they generate less air pollution, which means cleaner skies for everyone! CubeSats are a miniaturized satellite class based around a form factor of 10 cm cubes. These satellites have a mass of no more than 2 kg per unit. And they often use commercial off-the-shelf components for their electronics and structure. These small devices were initially designed to assist with remote sensing and communications, but space agencies now use them as emissaries on interplanetary journeys! In 2018, NASA deployed a pair of CubeSats on a mission to Mars (Mars Cube One – MarCO). Since then, CubeSats have been in consideration for missions to the Moon and Jupiter. In the first phase, a cube is attached to the balloon by a rope over a parachute. Inside this cube is the following equipment: The CubeSat will return to Earth after collecting the appropriate data. Once it reaches a certain altitude, it should release a parachute which should help it to descend slowly and safely back to the surface. Since this way of launching is very delicate and highly dependent on weather conditions, we only know that it should be held between the 3rd and the 9th of October, probably from a village called Viš near Danilovgrad. Still, the location can also vary due to weather conditions. No, not technically. To become a satellite, a payload must be placed in orbit. That requires the payload to reach very high speeds, which is impossible with a balloon. However, a balloon can bring a lightweight rocket to a high altitude, from which the payload can be released into orbit. This approach is much cheaper than traditional satellite launch methods, and it may revolutionize the satellite industry. We leave that for stage three. The main problem with this way of launching is that heavy weight can not go very high using a balloon-based launch system, so sending a man to orbit or the Moon this way is theoretically impossible. But for launching a small satellite, a micro or nanosatellite – this should be a convenient, cheap, and effective way to go. Coinis is currently supporting this project through funding, media campaign support, and its continuous efforts to help young people and the local community. We know this is a very ambitious and challenging project, both technically and logistically, so It is essential to mention that it may be necessary to repeat each phase several times before. Hopefully, all the goals are achieved. Nevertheless, we truly admire these young people in pursuing their dreams and we are sure this is just the beginning of their best! So, wish us all luck! Enjoyed this piece of content? We have written so many cool blogs and we totally recommend that you go through them. We suggest you start with these: Want to know more?

At Instrumxx Industries, we specialize in providing high-quality aerospace tube fittings that meet the stringent standards of the aerospace industry. Our fittings are manufactured using advanced materials and production processes to deliver exceptional performance and durability in the most demanding environments. What are Aerospace Tube Fittings? Aerospace tube fittings are specialized connectors that join tubes or hoses in an aerospace fluid or gas transfer system. These fittings come in a wide range of shapes, sizes, and materials to accommodate various application requirements. Some common types of aerospace tube fittings include: Flared fittings: These fittings have a cone-shaped end that flares outwards to seal with the flared end of a tube. Flared fittings are used in low-pressure applications where ease of installation and serviceability are important. Swaged fittings: Swaged fittings are similar to flared fittings but use a mechanical tool to compress the fitting onto the tube. This process creates a tight and secure seal, making swaged fittings suitable for high-pressure applications. Compression fittings: Compression fittings use a threaded nut and ferrule to compress and seal the fitting onto the tube. These fittings are versatile and easy to install, making them a popular choice for aerospace applications. Quick-disconnect fittings: These fittings allow for fast and easy connection and disconnection of tubes or hoses in a fluid or gas transfer system. Quick-disconnect fittings are ideal for applications that require frequent maintenance or component replacement. Why are Aerospace Tube Fittings Important? Aerospace tube fittings play a critical role in ensuring the safe and reliable operation of aircraft, spacecraft, and other aerospace vehicles. These fittings must withstand extreme temperatures, pressures, and vibration, as well as exposure to corrosive and hazardous fluids. A faulty or unreliable fitting can cause leaks, blockages, or other failures that can compromise the performance and safety of the entire system.

Although it greatly saddens me that NASA has become a pathetic political tool, focusing more on global warming and Muslim outreach than space flight, I can’t help but be excited that the private sector is taking over the space industry. Since man first landed on the moon, we haven’t progressed much in manned space flight in fifty years. I predict that with capitalists breaking into the field, we are in for some huge advancements in the next twenty years. Unless I die young, I think my dream of going into space (and not having to spend millions to do so) will be realized. Wait. I was filled with hope for a moment. But then I remembered that our monolithic government will just regulate and tax the hell out of the industry. Maybe it will be forty years before I get my dream.

by Rick Nini, Corporate Eagle In an increasingly interconnected world, new digital tools make it easier than ever to communicate with clients and professional partners. Around the corner or around the world, technology keeps us in touch and in sync. But, as experienced real estate professionals know so well, there are limits to emails and videoconferencing, details that are not always apparent in digital renderings or virtual walkthroughs There are many times when there is simply no substitute for being there in person. As a result, more real estate companies looking for effective ways to boost their business are turning to private aviation, or, as we say in the industry, “Business Aviation.” This allows them to carve out more face-to-face time with clients and get where they need to be in a timely and efficient manner, ahead of the competition. The benefits of business aviation are significant and potentially dramatic. In a fast-paced and increasingly competitive marketplace, the ability to get deals done and move projects forward in a wider variety of locations can constitute a defining advantage. Determining whether or not business aviation makes sense for you and understanding the programs and possibilities that come with different business aviation solutions begins with an overview of the benefits of business aviation for real estate companies. Real estate decision makers looking to find out more about business aviation would also be wise to educate themselves about the different types of business aviation programs, and about what questions they should be asking to vet potential partners and determine the best fit for their company. Business aviation is a significant investment. But, as more businesses of all sizes are discovering, the ROI can be extraordinary, both from a revenue and business generation standpoint and an employee retention perspective. According to the National Business Aviation Association, a staggering 97 percent of the businesses that utilize private business aviation are small to mid-size businesses. Further, a 2009 study conducted by the organization found that businesses using business aircraft had superior financial performance (generating more income based on productivity and efficiency), reduced recession impact and achieved better customer access. Investing in business aviation boosts employee efficiency and productivity, and delivers the most valuable asset of all: more time. And in a world where we are connected 24/7 and pushed constantly to do more with less, even just a few extra hours can make a world of difference. With business aviation, brokers gain significant efficiency and productivity by being able to dictate the flight dates and times to fit their schedules, and by having access to nearly 10 times as many locations as commercial airliners do—a huge advantage for brokers looking to invest in secondary and tertiary markets that may not be served by commercial airports. Unlike commercial airliners that can reach roughly 500 airports and are limited to set, inflexible and at times unreliable schedules in a finite number of destinations, business aviation options make it far easier to capitalize on new opportunities in secondary and tertiary markets far quicker than ever before. And, with today’s modern technology, aboard most modern business aircraft you will find worldwide satellite telephone systems, high-speed Internet capabilities, personal PDA “Text and Talk” features and audio and visual presentation technology with on-board monitors and sound systems. Utilizing business aviation keeps you always connected and continually productive. Different types of business aviation programs function in very different ways. Options include charter, jet card programs, fractional aircraft ownership and whole aircraft ownership. Understanding which option or options is right for you and your company depends on many factors, including financial considerations, travel needs and other logistical details. Making an informed decision requires a basic understanding of each of the four categories: Fractional aircraft ownership Fractional aircraft ownership is an appealing solution and potentially cost-effective for real estate professionals who fly fairly frequently, 50 to 200 hours per-year, and may not need their own aircraft. Similar to a timeshare, fractional programs allow you to purchase or lease a portion of a plane and gain access to that plane for a proportionate amount of time each year. This program might be a good fit if you or your team often needs to travel on short notice, fly to multiple locations in one day or requires the flexibility to fly during peak periods such as holidays and heavy business travel days. Fractional ownership comes with a guaranteed level of service and safety standards. Whole aircraft ownership Owning an aircraft is a good fit for heavy flyers with a need of 250 hours or more per year. This option grants outstanding flexibility, but comes at a much higher price point. Total costs and the responsibilities associated with managing an aircraft are significant and should be carefully considered. If your company is not equipped to manage the aircraft in-house, and most are not, many business aviation companies offer turn-key management solutions. Charter services can be a good fit for real estate professionals who travel only occasionally, but whose schedules are unpredictable or take them to smaller markets difficult to reach through commercial airlines. However, very few charter providers operate their own aircraft directly, while the large majority function as charter brokers and, therefore, the aircraft availability is mostly determined by the aircraft owner. Because charter brokers are typically focused on identifying the lowest-cost provider or simply go with what happens to be available at the time, quality control can be unpredictable and consistency is not a strong point—thus it’s crucial to ask the right questions to ensure the fit is right. Pre-paid private jet cards are a potential solution for real estate professionals who fly less than 50 hours per year. A jet card program presents less of a long-term commitment, which may be appealing to some companies. Be aware, however, that many jet card programs are essentially charter brokerages, and they consequently have the same set of advantages and disadvantages as charters. Perhaps the single most important thing that real estate executives and decision-makers can do when evaluating their business aviation service providers is to ask a lot of questions. Ask about everything from safety and security standards to pilot selection, training and experience, and operational and financial details. Be specific. What are the credentials of your pilots, and how long have they been with the organization? What does your training for your staff entail—how lengthy is it, and how often do they train? How often are you audited by third-party organizations, and what level of certification have you earned? How often do you perform maintenance on each aircraft? What kinds of insurance programs do you offer? Ask about aircraft age, history and specifications, and inquire about operational details such as scheduling, cabin details and facilities. Your potential partner should be able to outline in-depth safety, staffing and maintenance certifications, training and procedures. Most importantly, visit your business aviation provider and see firsthand the facilities, operations and aircraft. Even the business aviation beginners will recognize quality, professionalism and commitment to safety when they see it. Ultimately, real estate is not about brick and mortar or bits and bytes, it’s about personal contact. It’s about making the connections that strengthen professional relationships and get deals done. It’s about seeing job sites firsthand and experiencing site plans and sight lines for yourself. Increasingly, savvy real estate companies are making those connections and facilitating those experiences for more projects in more markets by using business aviation as a powerful new business tool. Those who choose the right program for their needs are seeing their business literally and figuratively take off. Rick Nini is the President and CEO of Waterford Township, Michigan-based Corporate Eagle, a provider of fractional and managed business aviation programs.

NASA will launch a multimillion-dollar spacecraft today, with plans to crash it into an asteroid in 2022, as a test for a possible asteroid defense system. It’s the first test of a new planetary-defense system that NASA has created to help keep asteroids in check. NASA is already tracking large asteroids slated to pass close to the Earth. In 2018, another asteroid hit the Earth. If successful, the test could give us a way to protect Earth from asteroids on a path to collide with the planet. The post NASA is testing a planetary-defense system like nothing we’ve ever seen appeared first on BGR.

Object of the month: Astronaut visits Chile during the government of Eduardo Frei Montalva During the government of Eduardo Frei M., two groups of NASA astronauts visited our country. One of them even brought a gift to the former President, a few rock fragments of moon, which are now displayed on the second floor of House Museum Eduardo Frei Montalva. In 1961 U.S. President John F. Kennedy announced to the world that the Apollo space program’s goal would be to put a man on the moon before the end of the decade. Within the group of astronauts chosen for this important project were Neil Armstrong and Richard F. Gordon, who in October 1966 were visiting our country for four days, sent by President Lyndon B. Johnson. The astronauts arrived in Santiago on October 27 accompanied by their wives, as well as the U.S. Ambassador Ralph A. Dungan and Deputy Director of the Spacecraft Center Manned by NASA(1), George Low. His visit was a token of appreciation from the U.S. government and NASA for the support given in the scientific exploration of outer space, materialized in the installation of satellite tracking stations in Antofagasta (1959) and Peldehue (1961), the last one still operating under the administration of the Centre for Space Studies at the Universidad de Chile. Both Armstrong and Gordon were in the Gemini Program, which preceded the Apollo Program, which aimed to prepare astronauts, maneuvering and the implements for a future moon landing. At the time of the visit, Eduardo Frei Montalva was ill, so he received the astronauts with his family at home, on the Hindenburg Street. The collection of the Museum preserves a gift from this mission that brought them to Chile: a photograph of the approach of Gemini 8 (which Neil Armstrong manned) to an Agena, a docking a ship (2), dedicated to the sons of former president, with the signatures of Armstrong and Gordon (3). “One small step for man …” In 1968, ENTEL (National Company of Telecommunications) installed in Longovilo the first satellite communications antenna in South America. This allowed that Sunday 20th of July, 1969, about 8 million of Chileans could see from the TV one of the most important history events: the Apollo XI moon landing. Nearly three years after the first visit by the NASA astronauts, and also the TV in the living room on the second floor of the same house where they were received (which later became desk), Frei Ruiz-Tagle family saw Neil Armstrong become the first man to walk on the Moon. Such was the expectation of the Chilean public by the space race that President Eduardo Frei Montalva declared holiday until noon on Monday, so no one will lose the details of the moon landing. Then in November of the same year, Richard F. Gordon, who also visited Chile with Amnstrong, piloted the Apollo XII Command Module, the second space mission that will put a man on the Moon. In this ship were also Alan Bean and Charles Conrad, who landed on the moon on November 19, 1969. Like the crew of Apollo XI, after that awesome feat, the astronauts made a world tour over 40 countries, as envoys of President Richard Nixon. The three astronauts and their wives, the U.S. Ambassador Edward Korry, diplomats and U.S. and Chilean officials came to our country on February 18, 1970. Its first activity was to fly by helicopter to the Cerro Castillo (Castillo Hill) Presidential Palace in Viña del Mar, where Eduardo Frei Montalva and his wife Maria Ruiz-Tagle were expecting them. There, they held an exchange of present and former president received a pedestal with three small pieces of moonstone, a Chilean flag that flew to the moon by the Apollo XI, and a plaque of Apollo XII. To this was added a photograph of the Apollo Lunar Module XII orbiting natural satellite, where you can also see the Ocean of Storms, landing site of this mission. The picture is dedicated and has the signature of the three man of the crew. All these objects are now part of the House Museum collection and can be appreciated during the tours. Back in Santiago, the astronauts were cheered during their car rides through the avenues: Apoquindo, Providencia and Alameda, and they were decorated with the Order of Merit in the rank of Commander in the Palacio La Moneda (La Moneda Palace). (4) Of course not only a Chilean flag traveled to the moon in July 1969, also did different phrases of world leaders. The wishes of Eduardo Frei Montalva were: “That people of our planet carry to the moon a message of peace and goodwill from earth, and this country called Chile.”(5) The house Neil Armstrong visited at the time now saves pieces of moon rock in the same room where the former president and his sons saw the feat of Apollo XI. There you can also read the following message: “This flag of your nation was carried to the moon and brought back by Apollo XI, and this fragment of the lunar surface was brought to earth by the first manned lunar voyage by men.” (1) Acronym for National Aeronautics and Space Administration. (2) In the press release dating from October 28, 1966, specifies that the photograph in question is the Gemini XI, which is incorrect. The original picture that corroborates that belongs to the Gemini VIII database is part of NASA data and can be verified at this link: http://images.jsc.nasa.gov/luceneweb/caption.jsp?searchpage=true&selections=GT8&browsepage=Go&hitsperpage=5&pageno=9&photoId=S66-25781 (3) They were the only gifts that EFM received from astronauts. He also received a photograph of Chile taken from outer space and a Chilean flag carried in the flight of Gemini XI, who manned Richard F. Gordon. This information appears in the press release of October 28, 1966, folder 51. (4) El Mercurio, February 18, 1970, pg. 19. To Neil Armstrong and Richard Gordon, who came in 1966, they were also given this honor on that occasion. (5) May the men of our planet take to the moon a message of peace and good will from this place on the Earth that is Chile.

The US is pushing to develop a new ground-based laser weapon. It sees the technology as the future of air and missile defense against proliferating artillery, drone, missile, and possibly hypersonic weapon threats. This month, Breaking Defense reported that the US Army had selected Lockheed Martin to develop a new high-energy laser prototype to defend fixed and semi-fixed sites from air attack under a US$220.8 million contract. The source says the contract mandates Lockheed Martin to “develop, integrate, manufacture, test and deliver” an Indirect Fire Protection Capability-High Energy Laser (IFPC-HEL) prototype weapon system. It notes that, at present, the US Army has provided Lockheed Martin with $154 million in fiscal 2023 funding, and the remaining funds could be redirected toward the effort between now and mid-October 2025. While Breaking Defense says Lockheed Martin deferred questions about the contract to the US Army, the company has been working on HEL projects, including a 300-kilowatt laser under the Pentagon’s High Energy Laser Scaling Initiative (HELSI). However, the source notes that it is not clear if other companies are competing for the project, as the US Army’s Rapid Capabilities and Critical Technologies Office (RCCTO) issued a request in March for white papers on 100-kilowatt lasers and shed some additional light on program plans. More bang for the buck Regarding ground warfare, IFPC-HEL may be the future of counter-rocket, artillery, and mortar (C-RAM) capability. Michael Libeau notes in a 2012 article for the Naval Surface Warfare Center (NSWC) that lasers have a greater magazine depth than gun and missile systems, since they only use electricity for operation, giving them a potentially unlimited magazine.

Individuals who join the Air National Guard often have a dream to be flying one of the aircraft used by the reserve force. However, it is not easy as there are a lot of things that you have to do. Check out the steps on how you can be one of the pilots for the Air National Guard of the United States. 1. Complete the preliminary requirements There are various things that you have to prepare as the first step to becoming a pilot. One of them is that you should have gone through the training to be a pilot even before you reach thirty. There is a physical exam that you need to pass. Aside from that, you should be a four-year degree holder. You should also possess an experience when it comes to flying. 2. Take all the necessary tests needed If you want to be a pilot for the Air National Guard, the passion you have for flying is not enough. There are a couple of tests that needs to be completed. You need to take AFOQT or Air Force Qualifying Officer Test. It will test your academic skills though it is more inclined on the technical aspect. Aside from that, you also need to pass the Test of Basic Aviation Skills. It is like a practical exam, and there will be just a couple of question in the end. 3. Get your PCSM You will not be able to get this Pilot Candidate Selection Member number if you fail the Basic Aviation Skills test. Through this number, your performance during the training will be assessed. 4. Find a unit and apply Among the three steps indicated, finding a group seemed to be the easiest, but it’s not. There are a lot of people applying for the position, and that means the competition is fierce. It is highly recommended to apply for different units, so you will have a better chance of getting hired. If you can complete all these steps, you are one step closer to your dream in becoming a pilot for the Air National Guard.

You’ve heard about it, you’ve seen others doing it, and now it’s time to get a drone of your own. A quick glance at options makes you realize that you have some decisions to make, first of which is comprising a budget. Some models are hundreds while others thousands of dollars. How much should you shell out for your first drone? RTF, ARF, Etc The drone industry is filled with acronyms, so you’ll need to invest a bit of time in learning some of the lingo. For example, RTF or ready to fly drones are just about the closest thing you can find to something you can use out of the box. ARF stands for almost ready to fly and requires assembly and a bit of know-how. You may have to pay more for a drone that requires no assembly. ARF, on the other hand, means “almost ready to fly.” This may require some assembly and usually don’t come with transmitter or receiver. Ease of Flying Get to know more about a drone’s flight controller. While you’re concerned about how much a drone costs, you should also be familiarized with how it flies. Your skill level and preference will play into how much you’re willing to spend now versus what you want to put into an upgrade in the future. You want to have fun with your drone rather than be frustrated about how to fly it. If you’re a beginner, you’ll want to think about the punishment for having little flying experience. If you invest in an expensive drone and you damage or destroy it, you’ll only have yourself and your lack of flying experience to blame. Therefore, cheaper models are usually reserved for beginners who adopt either of two directions. You can invest in a small model that allows for some control and maneuvering, or you can invest in a larger model that is limited in features. Either direction asks for a minimal investment while providing beginners with experience. Shop for the best drones under $200. At this price point, you can find models that host some advanced features. However, like a beginner, those with a bit of experience should not be bewitched by what looks cool or the latest developments in drone technology. Rather, someone looking to invest this amount should be thinking about how this drone can prepare them for later investments. A person looking to spend over $1000 should have considerable flying experience, enough that there is minimal risk of them making a mistake that could damage their model. Moreover, those who are looking to make such an investment may want to consider ways to make money from owning a drone, such as working for a marketing company or a hotel. There’s no need to spend so much money unless you’re a total drone junkie, you have more than a couple years of experience, and you are aware of ways to make a side or full-time income from your drone. There’s plenty of opportunities to pour money into drones in order to make them have longer ranges, fly faster, turn harder, etc.

“Flight” was a 35’ sq. cu. Ft. Multi-media installation that was composed of a 16 ft. wooden lath airplane (raised on a steel stand), two video monitors, and a 4.5’ acrylic stand/steel gun rack loaded with 100 + paper airplanes displaying the text “TO BE FREE”. The two video monitors played synchronized video images. The 16 ft. lath plane was constructed in four sections. The sections were made of 1/8” H x 1 ½” W wooden strips (pop riveted together) and hardware fabricated of sheet metal. A harness was attached to the plane at its balance point. The harness locked into slots on the 10 cu. ft. trapezoidal (tubular steel) base. The harness allowed the plane to pivot vertically and move delicately.The plane is fully pivotal but was cabled at an angle for safety reasons.

In India, using a drone to make film videos has become commonplace. There are various restrictions on operating a drone. Drone technology is being developed in a number of countries outside of India. Drones of all types and sizes are available for purchase online. While we only utilise drones in India to make films, other countries have begun to test drones for delivering items to clients. There's even a drone that can transport both goods and people. A thorough video of one such passenger drone may be found here. Rajni Chaudhary has posted the video to her YouTube channel. The YouTuber goes into great depth regarding the passenger drone in this video. She discusses the drone's design, both inside and out, as well as its range. The drone in this video is not from India. In the video, she makes no mention of the location. She begins with the passenger drone's external design. This passenger drone has a design that is comparable to the ones we use to film videos. It has four arms, each of which has two blades. The propeller blades are actually made of carbon fibre to keep the drone from becoming too heavy. The drone's four limbs are all attached to its body. This is the seat for the passenger. It features a simple design with a little light in the front. The cabin where the camera gimbal and other components were formerly housed has been turned into a passenger compartment. All of the crucial wiring and components are most likely hidden beneath the cabin's floor and in the back. The vlogger unlocks the door and demonstrates how to sit inside the drone. Only one person may be carried at a time by this drone. Interestingly, no control panels exist within the cabin to assist the passenger in controlling the drone. The passenger will sit inside the drone, just like a conventional drone, and it will be operated by an expert from the ground using remote controls. He'll have a remote control and other tools to assist him steer the drone to its intended targets. Because there are no controls within the cabin, it will be quite uncomfortable. The Vlogger then emerges and begins discussing the technical specifics. Two motors are mounted on each arm to launch the drone into the air. This passenger drone, like our ordinary drone, has a battery pack that must be charged. When completely charged, the drone can fly for up to half an hour and has a range of around 50 kilometres. It has a peak speed of 160 kilometres per hour, although most nations limit it to 100 kilometres per hour, which is still rather fast for a drone. This is an excellent technology, but only time will tell if people will utilise it to go from one location to another.

And the funny thing is that despite the big words: "innovation", "high technology", "technology of the future" - prototypes of drones have long been used in everyday life. Take, for example, the function of any modern car – cruise control. Well, why don't you have a drone? And he rides without the help of a driver, and he regulates the speed himself, and adheres to the lane. However, it's not that simple. Russian legislation does not allow driving drones without the pilot himself. Here is such a paradox. And even the pilot project for the operation of drones launched in Russia in 2018, approved by the Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation of 26 N 1415, did not allow specialized cars to drive without the presence of a technologist who will observe the integrity and safety of driving. Tests are continuing, the promised leap in the field of innovative cars was promised by mid-2023: it is planned to launch space navigation aids, a number of specialized routes for unmanned trucks will be formed, for example, along the M-11 and M-2 highways.

Okay, so sorry I exaggerated in my title. I had possibility to spent three hours in fly simulator. My wife gave to me a birthday gift which I’ll never forget, to learn to fly a commercial aircraft DC-9 in a simulator. Those who have read my About me page, know that my career was among aviation and I made part of ground personnel. During five years I was flying onboard as a flying officer. That meant that I was sent here and there around the world to survey ground handling at destinations and to make balance and load sheet calculations for our airplanes. During these years I sat in cockpit, but mainly in Super Caravelle, and observed how pilots were flying. Many times I thought that it would be wonderful to fly an airplane. The farthest destination, where I went as a flying officer was Buenos Aires. The big day: On Monday May 9th, 2011, the day after my birth day, I drove with my wife to Finnair’s Flight Academy nearby the Helsinki-Vantaa airport. I was a little bit nervous without any reason, because at the destination we were met heartily by ex-pilot which I knew before from my working days. After some recollection of old good days, he my instructor (Matti also) lead us to the briefing room. There we went thru the flying process. After that it was high time to go inside to the flight simulator because I was tender hooks. At that moment I felt again a little bit nervous, because my dream to fly was going to come true. Inside there was four seats, two in real cockpit and two at background. My wife who was photographer and film maker sat at background, I took the left-hand seat, captain’s seat and my trainer right-hand seat which is first officer’s seat. Once more we went thru the process and Matti taught me once more the most important instruments which I had to survey during the flight. Normal process is that captain is flying and first office (also called co-pilot), surveys and controls instruments. If something happens, captain must fly really, because somebody must fly the air plane and that task is important. So, after making correct settings for flight, we were ready to go thru the check list, to start engines, setting flaps and when everything was okay, I started first motor, then second motor. I added readings of rounds of both motors up to the calculated amount. Simulator trembled little bit and then my instructor released brakes. We were rolling. I steered DC-9 in the middle of runway. My instructor gave to me info about the rolling speed by saying V1, V rotate and V2. At V1 it is possible to interrupt take-off. At V rotate nose wheel leaves the ground. V2 is minimum takeoff safety speed. So At V2 I pulled up the yoke and we were airborne. I had to follow carefully the Attitude indicator and my climbing angle was 15 degrees. When copilot took flaps in, had problems with the climbing speed and the altitude. This is very normal and one must be aware of it. Slowly I reduced climbing angle to 10 degrees and finally to zero after passing 1000 and 2000 feet. After reaching flight level 3000 feet, I could take it easier. Now I had possibility to admire Helsinki at dawn. To maintain the flight level was not as easy as one might consider. When looking out of the cockpit’s window, I missed at that moment the correct flight level. So, I had to make adjustments. At first I made too strong adjustments and it meant that DC-9 was wobbling. It took “long time” to me to adjust the correct cruising speed smoothly. Matti told to me that it is easier to fly a real DC-9 than simulator. When turning DC-9 for final, I again had problems to maintain correct speed and flight level. Landing we made in visual approach and one important thing was keep the air plane on line of runway. When wheels touched the runway, air craft made some bounces. I rolled on the middle of runway and stopped. First flight was over. Phew. Landing was bad, I confess. When repeating more flies, I started to manage better and better landing and so it went also to keep right flight level and speed when turning back for landing. I went thru all this with my instructor after my first flight. Next flight went better. I also wanted one curiosity in my flying course. That was thru landing which means landing without stopping, accelerating and straight away to take-off. That was really nice. That I love very much. Once we stopped our flight in the air just to admire Helsinki from the air trying to identify known places. The landing of last flight was made by ILS or let us say using Instrumental Landing System. It went really very good. My wife not even noticed that we made the landing and all this fabulous training was over! During all my flying my wife took some photos and video. I captured many photos from videos and combined them with photos taken by my camera. Those photos during flight were not so excellent, because my wife could not use flash. When driving back to our home I was excited yet. Next night I could not sleep much, but I was dreaming flying and I went yesterday thru again and again. About Finnair’s DC-9 flight simulator: This simulator is about 40 years old and during these years it has been in use during 70000 hours. Those people who were trained in it came from all over the world. Now it is open for everybody and instructors are ex-pilots. So was mine too and I know him since I was working as a flying officer onboard of Super Caravelle. Maybe You noticed that I was flying only in visual and not using autopilot. To fly in visual is more interesting and it is just that which educates the best way.

Industries Served – Aerospace The continuous increase of air traffic and the need to transport people and goods with more and more capable aircraft, powered by more efficient motors, with low carbon consumption and little environmental impact, presents a growing challenge for producers of metallic materials. Jet engines, in particular, are one of the most hostile operating environments: high temperatures, corrosive fluids, centrifugal forces, friction, high pressures and cycle fatigue. Even the structural components such as those of the airframe, the landing gear, or the fasteners (rivets) must fulfil very serious tasks: they must offer the greatest performance in environments subject to great fluctuations of temperature and extended cycle fatigue while guaranteeing absolute reliability, operational safety and efficiency. For this reason it is necessary to use metallic materials with high performance adapted to the different applications listed below: - Nickel alloys, Iron & Nickel based superalloys capable of combining great resistance to high temperature and surface stability (i.e. resistance to corrosion and oxidation) used, for example, for components such as the riveting or discs, vanes, rings, valves, shells, shafts and others parts that make up the jet engines and in particular of the “hot” part of the motor, i.e. the turbine. - Titanium alloys capable of exhibiting a specific weight vs. mechanical resistance ratio superior to any other metallic material, in addition to an excellent resistance to corrosion. Particularly rigorous chemical specifications and microstructures make such materials adapted to a great variety of aerospace applications: structural components, hydraulic components and the “cold” part of the jet engine (compressor), as well as fastenings (rivets) and missile components. - Special steels such as alloyed steel with high resistance or stainless steels, melted in air or re-melted with a consumable electrode exhibit, in addition to good corrosion resistance, the advantageous qualities of mechanical resistance and tenacity. In particular, the ample choice of stainless steel (austenitic, martensitic and precipitation hardening) guarantees a versatility capable of including a wide range of aerospace components including structural, motor and fixing components.

The addition of air ambulance service at French Valley Airport was cheered this week by business leaders and Riverside County Supervisor Chuck Washington, who said it’s a key piece of the grand plan for both the airport and health care in the region. “We thought going in that we were on the front end a healthcare growth curve/wave and hearing Supervisor Washington talk about the journey from rural to a more suburban community reinforces that,” said Matt McLuckie, a former pilot who serves as spokesman for REACH Air Medical Services. “I loved his line about Murrieta back when ‘there were more veterinarians than doctors.’ The community is growing from there to world class health care for the residents and REACH is excited to be a part of that for many years to come.” REACH landed at the airport in April of this year but it took a few months for the Santa Rosa-based company to get settled in its new digs. On Monday, Oct. 30, they showed off their Airbus helicopters and new REACH-branded workspace at a ribbon-cutting ceremony inside the airport’s Hangar 51. “We’ve experienced what a really great community it is, as evidenced by the welcoming atmosphere at the ribbon cutting. We ‘knew’ it, but again a whole new experience to really be there,” McLuckie said following the ceremony. The French Valley base, which includes office space and crew quarters for the service’s on-call pilots, is the first in western Riverside County for the company, which operates another seven bases in Southern California. The plan is for the French Valley facility to serve as a “backup resource” for the bases serving Imperial, Riverside and San Diego counties. Other bases are in Thermal and Upland. The flight crew on a REACH helicopter includes a critical care nurse and a paramedic, or two nurses, and a pilot. The company uses an Airbus EC-135 with dual engines that can fly at air speeds of up to 150 mph, according to a release. “The helicopter’s (instrument flight rules) capability allows it to fly when other aircraft may be grounded due to weather,” said Anna Blair, vice president of strategy for REACH. “It has the capacity to transport the patient, flight crew and whenever possible a family member.” For local residents, McLuckie said the French Valley airport is about 10-15 minutes closer by air than the facility in Hemet, where Mercy Air, REACH’s main competition, has a base. There is a significant cost associated with the use of an air ambulance if a flight is not covered by insurance – some companies charge tens of thousands of dollars – but people can sign up for a membership with AirMedCare Network, which covers out-of-pocket expenses in the event of an emergency transport. A membership for a family runs around $65 a year and helps prevent cases in which an insurer will cover only a portion of the cost, which is called “balance billing.”

Cessna 210 Centurion është një avion me gjashte vende, me performane te larte, me karrel uljeje ne piste me një motor ne aviacionin e përgjithshëm qe fluturoi për here te pare ne janar te 1957 dhe është prodhuar te Cessna qe nga 1985. Dizajni dhe zhvillimi[redakto | redakto tekstin burimor] Cessna 210 e hershme (210 dhe 210A) ka pasur 4 vende me Continental IO-470 engine of 260 hp (190 kW). Ne thelb ishte një Cessna 182B to which was added a retractable landing gear, swept tail, and a new wing. Ne 1961 the fuselage and wing were completely redesigned - the fuselage was made wider and deeper, and a third side window was added. The wing planform remained the same (constant 64" chord from centerline to 100 inches (2,500 mm) out, then straight taper to 44" chord at 208 inches from centerline), but the semi-Fowler flaps (slotted, rear-moving) were extended outboard, from Wing Station 100 to Wing Station 122, which allowed a lower landing speed (FAA certification regulations state that a single-engine aircraft must have a flaps-down, power-off stall speed no greater than 70 miles/hour). To compensate for the reduced aileron span, the aileron profile was changed and its chord enlarged. The 1964 model 210D introduced a 285 hp (213 kW) engine and 2 small child seats, set into the cavity which contained the mainwheels aft of the passengers. Ne 1967 modeli 210G futi një krah cantilever duke replacing the strut-braced wing. Its planform changed to a constant taper from root chord to tip chord. In 1970 the 210K became the first full 6-seat model. This was achieved by replacing the flat leaf-springs used for the retractable main landing gear struts (undercarriage) with tapered tubular steel struts of greater length. This allowed the tires to be nested farther to the rear of the fuselage, making room for the full size rear seats. Ne 1979 210N model eliminated the folding doors which previously covered the two retracted main wheels. The tubular spring struts retract into shallow channels along the bottom of the fuselage and the wheels fit snugly in closed depressions on the underside of the fuselage. Some models featured de-icing boots as an option. Avioni was offered in a normally aspirated version, designated the model 210, as well as the turbocharged T210 and the pressurized P210 versions. The Centurion II was an option introduced in 1970 with improved avionics, and was available in both noramlly aspirated and turbocharged versions (Turbo Centurion II) Ne 21 maj 2012 the airworthiness authority responsible for the design, the US Federal Aviation Administration, issued an emergency Airworthiness Directive requiring 3,665 of the cantilever wing Cessna 210s to be inspected for cracks in the spar cap, wing spar and wing. Aircraft with more than 10,000 hours of airframe time were grounded immediately pending a visual inspection. Vazhdimësia[redakto | redakto tekstin burimor] Ne nëntor 2007, Cessna acquired the assets of Columbia Aircraft Company. The Columbia 350 and 400 models were integrated into the Cessna single engine range and redesignated as the Cessna 350 and Cessna 400. Ky avion zevendesoi Cessna 210 at the top end of the Cessna single-engine model line. Modifikimet[redakto | redakto tekstin burimor] There are a wide range of modifications available for the Cessna 210, including : - Aeronautical Engineers Australia has developed a life extension package for 210s suffering from wing spar carry-through beam corrosion. - Aerospace Systems and Technologies offers a TKS technology weeping fluid ice protection system for the Cessna 210, models L, M and N. - Crownair Aviation developed a “Centurion Edition” T210, which is a remanufactured aircraft introduced in November 2008 that features a glass cockpit and new engine along with other minor refinements. - O&N Aircraft offers a Rolls-Royce Model 250 turboprop conversion of the Pressurized Cessna P210N known as the "Silver Eagle". - Vitatoe Aviation offers the TN550 conversion which uses a Continental IO-550P engine with an IO-520 turbocharger with dual intercoolers and a larger alternator. Variantet[redakto | redakto tekstin burimor] Cessna 210 u prodhua ne 26 variante modelesh, C210, C210A-D, the Centurion C210E-H&J, Turbo Centurion T210F-H&J, the Centurion II C210K-N&R, the Turbo Centurion II T210K-N&R and the P210N&R. The 210N, T210N (turbocharged), and P210N (pressurized) versions were produced in the greatest quantity. The rarest and most expensive models were the T210R and P210R, which were produced only in small quantities in 1985-86. Several modifications and optional fittings are also available including different engine installations, wing tip tanks, speed brakes, STOL kits and gear door modifications. The early strut-winged Cessna 210B was developed into a fixed-gear aircraft known as the Cessna 205. This spawned an entirely new family of Cessna aircraft including the 206 and the eight seat 207. - Four-seat production variant with a Continental IO-470-E engine, 40 degrees hydraulic flap, gear doors, introduced in 1960., first flown in 1957, 575 built. - A 210 with a third cabin window on each side, introduced in 1961, 265 built. - A 210A with a cut-down rear fuselage, a rear vision window and a Continental IO-470-S engine, introduced in 1962, 245 built. - A 210B with some minor changes, introduced in 1963, 135 built. - 210D Centurion - A 210C fitted with a 285 hp (213 kW) Continental IO-520-A engine and increased take-off weight to 3,100 lb (1,406 kg), introduced in 1964, 290 built. - 210E Centurion - A 210D with some minor changes, introduced in 1965, 205 built. - 210F Centurion / Turbo Centurion - A 210E with some minor changes and optional 285 hp (213 kW) turbocharged Continental TSIO-520-C engine, introduced in 1966, 300 built. - 210G Centurion / Turbo Centurion - A 210F with a strutless cantilever wing and modified rear window, increased take-off weight to 3,300 lb (1,497 kg), introduced in 1967, 228 built. - 210H Centurion / Turbo Centurion - A 210G with a new flap system and instrument panel, 210 built.

As one of the most notorious cases of paranormal activity, the stories about the ghosts of flight 401 have more credibility than most and are often used as proof for the existence of ghosts. While a haunted airplane doesn’t fit the typical description of a spooky place, nearly two dozen people have reportedly witnessed the friendly and protective ghosts of Eastern Airlines, with many of the sightings being from very credible sources. In 1972, Eastern Airlines Flight 401 was making a routine flight from New York City to Miami. As they were flying over the Florida Everglades, the pilot and co-pilot faced problems when lowering the landing gear. While communicating with the control tower to try and solve this problem, they didn’t notice that the plane was steadily descending. By the time the pilots realized, it was too late and the plane crashed, killing 101 people including the pilot, Bob Loft, and the fight engineer, Don Repo. The two are said to still be watching over the airline’s passengers and crew in spirit. Eastern Airlines reportedly recycled the salvageable parts from flight 401 by using them on other planes and most of the sightings of Don Repo and Bob Loft have occurred on the planes with these recycled parts. The two ghosts have never been seen on the same flight or by the same people, but several credible reports have been made. People who knew the pilot and engineer have seen and identified their ghosts and people who did not know them have been able to identify them in pictures. It’s said that these Eastern Airlines ghosts appear very lifelike—to the point that people have believed they were speaking with a real person until the apparition suddenly disappeared in front of their eyes. One of the first sightings was reported by a pilot and two flight attendants. They claimed to have spoken with Loft’s ghost before the flight, believing that he was another pilot, before he suddenly disappeared. The pilot was so shaken by this experience that he decided to cancel the flight. Another passenger approached a stewardess to ask about the silent, still man dressed as a pilot sitting in her row. As the flight attendant glanced over at the man, he vanished in front of both women, leaving the passenger frightened. Many people believe that Loft and Repo watch over the passengers and crew to prevent another fatal crash, and several witnesses have claimed that Loft or Repo spoke to them. In one instance, Repo reportedly appeared in front of an Eastern Airlines captain and told him “there will never be another crash. We will not let it happen.” Repo has also been frequently seen doing routine flight checks and fixing objects aboard the aircraft before the flight. One flight engineer reported that while he was doing the pre-flight check, a very lifelike Repo walked up to him and said “you don’t need to worry about the pre-flight. I’ve already done it.” One of the most ominous sightings was when Faye Mayweather, an Eastern Airlines flight attendant, noticed the face of a man looking toward her from one of the plane’s ovens. She quickly ran to fetch two of her coworkers, one of which had been friends with Don Repo and identified him immediately. He warned them, “watch out for the fire on this plane”. Strangely, the airplane faced serious engine problems during the flight and was not able to fly the second leg of the course due to safety concerns. Even one of the company’s Vice Presidents claims to have seen Bob Loft. He was seated in first-class and talking with a man who he believed to be the pilot of the aircraft. After several minutes, he recognized this person as pilot Bob Loft and the apparition immediately vanished. Needless to say, this left the Vice President shocked. In total, these Eastern Airlines ghosts have been sighted over 20 times by various pilots, flight engineers, flight attendants, and passengers. The sheer number and credibility of the sightings make this a more believable story than most. Could Bob Loft and Don Repo really still be taking care of passengers? Why haven’t their souls been able to move on? Regardless, it’s definitely not a bad thing to have two skilled and passionate spirits watching over your flight to ensure your safe arrival.

Willow Run Airport The Willow Run Airport is one of the largest international cargo airports in the Unites States. The airport boasts four runways, including cross wind runways and an ILS all-weather runway. There are also 24-hour Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) tower operations and 24-hour US Customs Service Monday-Friday. - 200 million pounds of cargo transported - $123 million economic impact - Brings 950 jobs to the region Along with the Detroit Metropolitan Airport, the Willow Run airport was recognized for Airport Rescue and Fire Safety in Excellence. In the U.S., these independent airport authorities are the only ones to receive this distinction (Wayne County Airport Authority, 2016). In 2010, Willow Run was awarded the “All Cargo Airport of the Year” (Internationalairportreview.com). This award is voted on by the supply chain professionals. Willow Run was developed in 1941 by Charles Lindbergh and Henry Ford, who built a bomber facility on a portion of the 2,600 acres. During World War II, it was used to manufacture the “Liberator” bombers. After WWII, Willow run was transformed into a passenger terminal and in 1947 The University of Michigan purchased it. In 1966, Willow Run was converted to a cargo, executive aviation, and general aviation airport. The University of Michigan sold the airport to Wayne County in 1977 and it is now one of the largest cargo airports in the country (Willowrunairport.com).

Developed in the early 1950s, the Napier Eland turbo prop engine was first bench tested in 1952. The first air tests were carried out in 1953 with a modified Vickers-Armstrong Varsity aircraft. Within its first ten hours of flight test, the Eland had been operated at an altitude of 30,000 feet and successfully restarted at 25,000 feet. These milestones are thought to be a first for a turbo prop engine. Seeing a market for the Eland, in re-engining current piston aircraft, Napier purchased a Convair CV-340. Napier replaced the CV-340’s two R-2800 piston engines with Elands. The changeover was straight forward and no modification were made to the engine firewall or to the airframe. The Royal Canadian Air Force placed an order for ten Eland-powered Convairs in March 1958. These airframes were to be built by Canadair in Montreal, as the CL-66. The first CL-66B for the RCAF flew on January 7, 1960 and the all ten were delivered by March 1961. The CL-66 was redesignated the CC-109 Cosmopolitan in RCAF service. Suffering from reliability problems and a short life between engine rebuilds the RCAF decided to re-engine the Cosmopolitan with the more reliable Allison T-56 turbo prop engine. In 1961 Rolls Royce acquired the assets of Napier’s engine division and the Eland was dropped from production. The Convair 540 and CL-66 were the only production aircraft to be fitted with the less than successful Eland engine.

Access to Space to Undergo Dramatic Changes It's finally happening... In the United States, private companies such as Space Exploration Technologies Corporation (SpaceX), and Boeing are actively involved in developing the space services market. It's become a staple of NASA's strategy in promoting access to space for private companies. But in Russia, it's a different story. In Russia, access to space is managed exclusively by state-owned enterprises and organizations. Roscosmos, Russia's Federal Space Agency plans to change that model. In a statement this last Tuesday, Russian Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Rogozin, who oversees the country's space industry, laid out a strategy that will allow private companies in Russia access to the space services market. As Rogozin said: By 2020, we plan to form an effective system of support for Russian corporations on the market of space services and allow private companies onto the market. Effectively, this could allow private companies to create and develop new innovations that could compete with their American counterparts. As Rogozin pointed out in his statement: The effective development and commercialization of space production and services should not be forgotten. According to Rogozin, Russian President Vladimir Putin will get a report by Roscosmos in the near future on the program. The report will describe the program in detail in order to gain the approval it needs in order to advance to the next stages. In the United States, there is a strong belief that the innovation and independence of private companies in their access to space will revolutionize the space services market. SpaceX in particular has already demonstrated an ability to shake up the market. What will happen when Russian companies enter the market? We'll find out in a few years.

Nearly 20 years ago a council staff member sent me an application to a NASA training at Macy called Exploring the Solar System. I was one of the lucky 30 out of hundreds of applicants who was selected. Over the years I went to another 6 trainings at the Johnson Space Center, Jet Propulsion Laboratory and Goddard Space Flight Center. I have stayed connected with many of the adult Girl Scouts I meet and we are a close circle of friends. My training led to STEM programs for girls, program kits, patch programs and leader and older girl trainings. I have reached thousands of girls and adults over the years. I think what I love best is the “Ah ha” moment when you see a girl has just figured out the concept I am teaching. Girl Scouts has taken me on adventures to places I may never have gone, like the extraterrestrial samples lab at Johnson Space Center, where I was able to suit up and handle moon rocks! My life is richer for the experiences I have had and the friends I have made, all thanks to Girl Scouts.

How do satellite transmitters work? There are 4 polar orbiting satellites that are currently used for tracking animals. The satellites are operated by the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Organization (NOAA) and are the same satellites used to monitor global weather patterns. Attached to these satellites are special instruments operated by a French company, ARGOS CLS.. These special instruments are designed to listen for transmitters like those we place on turtles and to determine where those transmitters are located. While such task would seem simple, it is not. Each transmitter circles the earth every 101 minutes and so is only over any one place on the planet for about 10 minutes. At the equator, this means that the satellites make about 6-8 passes per day for 10 minutes each. For the satellite to determine the location of the transmitter it takes about 3-5 minutes, and the transmitter must be on the surface to be detected. However turtles rarely remain on the surface for that long, and their surfacing must coincide with the satellite passing overhead. Thus it is uncommon to receive a location from a turtle every day. back to turtle travels SeaWorld/Busch Gardens Animal Information Database www.seaworld.org / www.buschgardens.org ©2002 SeaWorld, Inc.

You may remember the effort called Mars One: “Mars One was a small private Dutch organization that received money from investors by claiming it would use it to land the first humans on Mars and leave them there to establish a permanent human colony.” A bold idea, to put a colony on Mars funded as a “reality show”. Started in 2012 it was all over by 2019. The project attracted many dreamers, but not so many dollars. It also attracted significant criticism to the extreme that it boarded on derision for the Mars One vision being so far from reality as to be a scam. In fact, sitting around thinking about what it would be like for these colonists is what provided the inspiration to write this whole business here. I recently stumbled across this 2015 article from National Geographic discussing an approach to taking people to Mars and bringing them back. It includes a short video interviewing four regular Earthlings hoping to get the chance to go to Mars and never come back. I get the urge to go, but anyone seriously considering this should lock themselves in their bedroom with three strangers for a week before deciding to climb into the space capsule.

Project: Currently this plane is being overhauled by Missionary Maintenance Services in Ohio. After the work is completed the Pathfinder plane will be serving our project in Palawan, Philippines. The Cessna Skylane is a perfect Mission plane because it is a single-engine, four-place aircraft, can carry over 1,200 pounds, is able to operate out of 1,000 foot airstrips, travels at 170 MPH and has a range of 900 miles. In 1999, Adventist World Aviation and the International Pathfinder clubs together purchased and rebuilt this Skylane for mission service, thus the “Pathfinder Plane” was born. At the 2014 “Forever Faithful” International Pathfinder Camporee in Oshkosh, Wisconsin, AWA along with Thunderbird Adventist Academy and Andrews University, ran a ground school, flight simulator program, and offered “Young Eagle” flights for all interested. The “Pathfinder Plane” was on display, and Pathfinders from all around the world were not only able to see and touch it, but also meet the missionary who has been flying this plane in Guyana for the past several years. This special plane is back in the U.S. for necessary maintenance. After five years of service, it needs a complete overhaul. Unfortunately, while it is sitting here waiting for the required work, the mission services it was providing in Guyana have come to a halt. A second “Pathfinder Plane” has been commissioned to replace this one in Guyana, and it is nearly ready to deploy. However, funds are desperately needed to make this possible. We also need funding to provide the overhaul of the original “Pathfinder Plane” and return it to service in the mission field. It is slated to go to the Philippines where it is desperately needed as soon as the work is completed. Encourage your Pathfinder Club, your Sabbath School class, or your school to raise funds to help get this plane ready for its return mission service—it is urgently needed. Without it, people in the hard to reach places are not receiving medical assistance or hearing the stories from the Bible. Last updated: June 2017 Our Cessna 182 Pathfinder plane is flying again! The Pathinder plane is AWA’s flagship and it’s been in service for many years. Click [ here ] to learn about Pathfinder plane.

I recently saw The Martian in the cinema. The story is based on a book with the same title by Andy Weir. I still have to read the book1, but I found the movie to be quite nice. It can perhaps best be summarized as ‘MacGyver in Space’ and deals with the adventures of astronaut Mark Watney. He was left alone on Mars after a severe dust storm caused the Ares 3 Mars mission he was part of to be aborted. His fellow crew mates thought he was dead and went back to Earth leaving Watney behind. To be able to get back home (#bringhimhome) he needs to travel great distances on Mars. That triggered my interest: could I calculate the best possible route that Watney might have taken? First I needed to know the locations. Watney is based in Acidalia Planitia at the Ares 3 landing site. I emailed Andy Weir and he told me the location is 28.6306°W and 31.3889°N2. Watney his first mission is to fetch the Mars Pathfinder, which is located at 33.22°W and 19.13°N. The second mission is to the Ares 4 landing site in Schiaparelli crater. This location was a bit harder to pinpoint. But luckily the people from the HiRISE camera on board the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter have a special page dedicated to The Martian. One HiRISE image covers the possible future Ares 4 landing site. I chose the center coordinates of this image to be the location of the Ares 4 landing site: 15.2°E and 3.964°S3 Next step is to calculate the most efficient routes from Ares 3 to Pathfinder and from Ares 3 to Ares 4. The data I wanted to use is Mars Orbiter Laser Altimeter (MOLA) on board the Mars Global Surveyor orbiter4. This is almost 500 meter per pixel data, so not the most detailed, but enough to make sure Watney doesn’t bump into the most obvious mountains or falls down steep rims of the larger craters. I asked this question on the Stackexchange website and an answer came back shorty after: use Least Cost Path Analysis5. This method sounded promising and after some tweaking in python and ESRI ArcGIS I was able to get the following result6. As you can see Watney didn’t travel in a straight line. In reality we would of course need the best resolution elevation data out there. That is the 50 cm/pixel Digital Terrain Models (DTMs) created by matching two overlapping pairs of HiRISE images. Unfortunately, these are only available for a small portion of the Martian surface. In the figure above their locations are shown as the blue strips7. Interestingly both the Ares 3 and Ares 4 locations have coverage of these HiRISE DTMs. Were they used in the movie? As far as I could find the Mars scenes of the movie were shot in Jordan. Ah well, maybe the future explorers of Mars won’t need HiRISE anymore and instead will use data from some fancy advanced future mission? What about a crowdfunded mission to Mars where thousands of cheap drones, sent using CubeSats, will map the surface of Mars in high detail? Drones equiped with LIDAR like the ones shown in this TED talk? Sounds like a plan?

The Global Positioning System (GPS) is the only fully functional Global Navigation Satellite System. Using a constellation of at least 24 medium Earth orbit satellites that transmit precise microwave signals, the system allows the receiver to GPS, to determine its location, speed/direction and time. Developed by the Department of Defense, it was officially named NAVSTAR GPS (Contrary to popular belief, NAVSTAR is not an acronym, but simply a name given by Mr. John Walsh). Satellite group is managed by the U.S. Air Force 50th Space Wing. The cost of maintaining the system is about $ 750 million per year, including the replacement of aging satellites, and research and development. Despite these costs, GPS is free for civilian use as a public good. GPS has become a widely used aid to navigation worldwide, and a useful tool for map-making, land surveying, commerce, and scientific uses. GPS also provides a precise time reference used in many applications including scientific study of earthquakes, and synchronization of telecommunications networks.

At the Kennedy Space Center, you can touch a small piece of the moon not far from a looming Saturn Five rocket, then test your G-force mettle on a launch-simulating ride that cost $70 million to build.Space travel, to earth orbit and beyond, is opening a whole new chapter of commercial tourism, but the price tag to experience Zero-G usually includes lots of zeros. For memorable thrills at a lower fare, you can enjoy some cosmic experiences here on earth. You can touch a moon rock or meteorite, talk to an astronaut, strap into a simulator, peruse the remarkable vehicles that have been to space, or head out to New Mexico’s Space Port a home to some of the spaceships of the future. And whether you are a child or an adult, you can immerse yourself in Space Camp in Huntsville, Alabama. The President of the Space Tourism Society, John Spencer, says earth-bound space travel is becoming increasingly popular. He cites that more than 8.6 million people visited the National Air and Space Museum in Washington, DC last year. Rides and attractions at Disney’s EPCOT Mission to Mars attracted 4.1 million. Three of the US Space Centers – the Kennedy Space Center in Florida, the Johnson Space Center in Texas, and the Space Camp in Alabama – entertained 1.9 million visitors curious about life beyond earth. Good Lunacy – Touch and Be Touched During the six Apollo space missions back in the 60s and 70s, 842 pounds of lunar geology were brought back to earth. Most of these celebrities of the rock world are under lock and key in special conditions in Texas, but some have been made available for earthlings to touch. One of the great highlights of the Smithsonian’s Air and Space museum in Washington, DC, is a real piece of the moon literally at your fingertips, and not far from the Apollo 11 capsule that carried the first people to walk the lunar surface. At the Kennedy Space Center, you can touch a small piece of the moon not far from a looming Saturn Five rocket, then test your G-force mettle on a launch-simulating ride that cost $70 million to build. To put your paws on something much larger than a moon rock and from further away in our galaxy, head to the Rose Center for Earth and Space in New York, where the Willamette Meteorite now rests. Scientists think the 15-ton space rock may have journeyed to earth from an asteroid belt between Jupiter and Saturn more than 10,000 years ago. Spencer says more than $300 million dollars will be spent in the next few years developing the three “retired” space shuttles that once orbited millions of miles around earth and helped build the International Space Station. The shuttle Discovery holds the record for the most space trips (39) and gets kudos for launching the Hubble Telescope. Admission is free at the Steven F. Udar-Hazy Center in Virginia (). The Endeavour, named by school children, is now settled at the California Science Center in Los Angeles. Space lovers visiting LA can also tour NASA’s Jet Propulsion Lab (JPL) () to learn about exploring other planets, then head to the Griffith Observatory to see stars that have been around a lot longer than Hollywood. The last shuttle to fly in space, Atlantis, will open to the public June 29, 2014 as part of Florida’s Kennedy Space Center. For a peek at the first shuttle, head to the Hudson River in New York. The Enterprise (yes, it was named in honor of the Star Trek starship) never flew into space, but now sits on an aircraft carrier at the Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum. Temporarily closed due to Hurricane Sandy, it should be open again by July 10, 2014. While shuttling from coast to coast for space-blasts from the pasts, you can land in the heartland to learn about Russian and American launches at the Cosmosphere in Kansas (). This Smithsonian-affiliated museum boasts the largest collection of Russian space artifacts outside of Moscow, as well as a diverse collection of American memorabilia, including spacecraft from the Mercury program (Liberty Bell 7), the Gemini program (Gemini 10), and the Apollo program (Apollo 13). As the countdown to summer vacation begins, these are just some of the many ways your family’s mission for fun can include a flight plan for earth-based space travel.

A rocket is a spacecraft, guided missile, or flying vehicle that gets a boost through the rocket’s reaction to the rapid ejection of fluid material from the rocket engine’s output. The action of the exhaust in the combustion chamber and the developer nozzles, is able to make the gas flow at hypersonic speeds causing a large reactive thrust for the rocket. Most rockets today are chemical rockets. This rocket engine requires solid or liquid fuel, such as liquid fuel Booster / booster Space Shuttle and the main engine is used to escape the gravity of the earth. The chemical reaction is initiated in the combustion chamber with the fuel (with air or oxygen if in space) and the hot gases produced flow under high pressure out of the ducts leading to the rear of the rocket. The pressure of the gas that shoots out is what produces the thrust for the rocket so that the rocket can move forward or up. Rocket and Parts of Rocket Gallery For Coloring Rocket and Planets Rocket and Smiling Sun Letter R Is For Rocket Rocket Flying and Stars Parts of Rocket A rocket is a spacecraft, guided missile, or flying vehicle that produces thrust through the combustion reaction of a rocket engine. This boost occurs due to the rapid combustion/explosion reaction of one or more of the fuels carried in the rocket. Often the definition of rocket is used to refer to a rocket engine. Rocket engine parts and functions: The frontmost part of which is usually filled with a scientific payload warhead or sensing/control equipment Cylindrical tube (cylinder) The main body of a rocket which is usually filled with fuel and its combustion apparatus The very rear contains the combustion source channel (nozzle) of the control mechanism Aerodynamic control device, which serves as both steering and stability pemberi Rocket and Three Stars Space Ship and Rocket Space Ship Ready To Go Astronouts and The Rocket Rocket in Simple Rocket Ship Among Stars and Planets Rocket and The Letter Rocket in Sharp Nose Rocket and Space Space Rocket And Planets Origins or A Rocket Rocket’s origins date back to the 9th century, when Chinese chemists discovered black powder (gunpowder) while trying to find the elixir of immortality. This coincidental discovery then led to experiments in the form of weapons such as bombs, cannons, and incendiary fire arrows, which used the black powder as a trigger. The first use of rockets occurred in 1232, when China was fighting the Mongols. At that time, Chinese troops used large iron pots fired with gunpowder, and the pans were capable of traveling up to 25 kilometers (15 miles), and could detonate target zones of up to a radius of 600 meters due to the fragments. In addition, the Chinese troops also used fire arrows which also used gunpowder as a means of propulsion. Rocket technology was first recognized in Europe when the Mongol armies under Genghis Khan conquered parts of Russia, Eastern Europe, and Central Europe. By that time, the Mongols had become acquainted with rocket technology after defeating northern China, and recruited rocket workers there as mercenaries. The spread of rockets to Europe was also influenced by the Ottoman Turks, when they besieged Constantinople in 1453, although the Ottomans themselves were influenced by the Mongol invasions centuries earlier. Entering the 15th century, rockets also began to spread to Korea. In the late 18th century, rockets were also used by Indian troops when fighting against the British. Then, the British who were new to the technology took and developed it further in the 19th century. From there, the use of rockets in the military spread throughout Europe. The red glow of the rocket as it shoots even inspired the American national anthem, The Star-Spangled Banner.

The US space agency's latest orbiting observatory, the gamma ray large area space telescope, blasted off from Cape Canaveral today on a mission to investigate the most energetic phenomena in the universe. Glast will scour the heavens for gamma ray radiation, which is released by exotic objects and events in the universe, from supermassive black holes to colliding neutron stars. The telescope, which lifted off aboard a delta II rocket, will spend its first year in orbit creating a gamma ray map of space, which is expected to identify up to 10,000 new sources of the high-energy radiation waves. The observatory will target enormously powerful cosmic explosions that produce intense bursts of gamma rays. A gamma ray burst (GRB) releases as much energy in a second as the sun will in its lifetime. It could also unravel some of the mystery of dark matter, the mysterious - and elusive - substance that pervades space and gathers around clusters of galaxies. The mission is a significant upgrade to Nasa's existing gamma ray telescope, Egret, which is attached to the Compton telescope.

The artwork of second-graders from Morning Star Elementary School in Bozeman was launched into space this week for a six-month stay on the International Space Station as part of a larger Montana State University research project into developing more durable computers for NASA. Stickers bearing a mission patch logo created by students in Cheri Jakovac’s class were aboard the SpaceX Falcon 9 resupply rocket that was launched Sunday night and broadcasted live on NASA TV. The stickers will remain on the ISS until December when they will be loaded onto a return capsule to be given back to the students. The logo art activity was an outreach component of an ongoing research project at MSU to develop a new radiation-tolerant computer technology. MSU has been researching this technology for nearly a decade under the direction of Brock LaMeres, associate professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering in the College of Engineering and principal investigator of the project. “Future NASA missions will require faster computers, but the radiation environment of space causes earthbound computers to fail,” LaMeres said. “MSU has been researching how to make computers that not only meet the computing needs of future missions, but that will be reliable in the harsh environment of outer space.” MSU’s computer has been tested in radiation chambers, on high altitude balloons, and on rockets that reach the beginning of outer space. The current project to put the computer on the ISS will be its most rigorous test yet and will set the stage for the next level of development, LaMeres said. “Our next milestone is to operate the computer in a real space environment for an extended amount of time,” he said. “The ISS is the perfect platform for the next stage of our development.” The MSU computer will be flown to the space station this fall. There, astronauts will install it in an experiment locker owned by NanoRacks, a Texas-based company that facilitates access to the space station. NanoRacks contacted LaMeres in January about flying a small amount of memorabilia related to his current ISS project. NASA provides scientists who are working on ISS research an opportunity to fly memorabilia to the station and be returned as keepsakes for the research team. LaMeres contacted Jakovac, his daughter Kylie’s teacher, about having her class design a logo for the project as a way to show them how the math and science they are learning is used in real world applications. “Exposing students at an early age to the exciting things that people working in STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) get to do is very important,” LaMeres said. “Hopefully having them hear about the research we are doing at MSU will leave a lasting impression that might lead to them choosing degrees, and ultimately careers, in STEM.” Working with LaMeres on the project are Connor Julien, an electrical engineering graduate student, Daniel Mills, a senior in electrical engineering and Brandon Klise, a sophomore in computer engineering. They, with LaMeres, visited the class in February and explained the current mission. The students were shown examples of mission logos and asked to draw their own version that represented MSU’s work. The research team used the common themes in the students’ drawings to create the final mission logo, which depicts the process of going to and returning from the ISS through illustrations of a rocket being launched, the ISS, and the return capsule bearing Montana’s 406 area code floating down via parachute. Also on the logo is the acronym RTcMISS, pronounced “Artemis,” which stands for “Radiation Tolerant computer Mission on the International Space Station.” “NanoRacks” also appears on the logo along with acronyms designating the Montana Space Grant Consortium, MSU’s College of Engineering, NASA EPSCoR and the MSU Space Science and Engineering Laboratory. Student designers from Jakovac’s class are: Connor Baller, Jaden Bateson, Cooper Bourret, Grace Brandon, Claire Brown, Oliver Carey, Myles Faerber, Geno Graf, Ibrahim Al-Kaisy, Inga Lee-Eichenwald, Kylie LaMeres, Cameron Mansfield, Olivia Morgner, Reese Navarro, Helen Nelson, Katelyn Pahut, Daniel Peace, Bobby Pratt, Heidi Rich, Owen Riendeau and Quinn Werner.

The drone is flying at Chikweti Forests, Mozambique Is it a bird? Is it a plane? Is it Superman? No, it's a camera with wings powered by a battery pack. by James Luckhoff The Swiss-made Swinglet CAM weighs in at a hefty 500 grams with a wingspan of 80cm and a 16 mega-pixel camera on board. It is used for aerial surveying, and flying at a height of 400m, it covers an area of up to 400ha in 30 minutes. For more detailed photos, the drone will fly at a lower height and has an image resolution of 3-30cm/pixels depending on flight altitude. The drone is hand launched, reaches speeds of up to 35km/hour, can manage winds of up to 25km/hour and has a landing radius of 20m. The drone has become part of Mozambique- based Chikweti Forests' planning team and is used for aerial photos to update maps, measure roads and fire brakes, plan contour ripping, monitor field operations and even to determine compartment stocking. The system is GIS compatible and to set up the flight path takes five minutes at most. Using Google Earth as the base map, the four corners of the area to be surveyed are marked, the flying altitude is entered into the computer and the drone is launched. No remote control is needed as the flight path is calculated and controlled by the drone communicating with the laptop computer, which is the base station on the ground. Landing is easy as the drone returns to the spot from where it was launched and flops down on the grass. After the flight, the memory chip from the camera is plugged into the computer with the appropriate software, from where the images are downloaded and processed into the aerial photo. Your old Google photo is replaced with an up-to- date image. Distances and areas to be measured is now just a click away. Software for the production of 3D images enables the planning team to produce maps with contour lines for field use. Contours of 3m are used for the planning of rip lines in the field. These maps are then down- loaded on hand-held GPS for field use, which makes compartment planning a breeze. Cross sections can be drawn through any object or structure on the photo to determine the height of the object. Further research will still have to be done to see what the accuracy is for measuring tree heights in-field.

AS 9100 is the QMS for organizations that provide products or services to the aviation, space and defense industries. Unlike ISO, AS 9100 is governed by the International Aerospace Quality Group (IAQG) with the help of representatives from aviation, space and defense companies in the Americas, Asia and Europe. AS 9100 builds off general ISO 9001 standards for QMS’, but adds industry-specific guidelines for the safe development, production and distribution of quality aerospace parts, products and services. Though not required by law, AS9100 certification is often required by aerospace OEMs in order to become an approved supplier. Whether you’re in Boston, Hartford, Springfield or Providence, our industry professionals are ready to apply our AS9100 experience and knowledge to help you achieve certification in the fastest, most efficient manner possible. We say that because the New England Lean Quality Team is exclusively made up of industry professionals – people who have worked on the shop floor, who have made parts that fly overhead or sail the seas every day. We don’t just check a list of requirements so that you can pass an audit; instead, we help the organization realize the full value that can be derived out of the AS 9100 certification process.

Aviation workers have shut down Aminu Kano International Airport (MAKIA), Kano over a dispute between Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) and Nigerian Airspace Management Agency (NAMA). Flights scheduled to leave Kano on Monday morning were disrupted as the Air Traffic Controllers suspended their operations which affected landing and taking-off of flights. An airport official said AZMAN and Max Air flights scheduled for Abuja and Lagos were not allowed to leave, and that passengers after boarding the flights were later told to disembark as the Air Traffic Controllers shut down their operations. It was gathered that the dispute between the two bodies of the airport started after the Nigerian Air Traffic Controllers Association (NATCA) shut down air navigation services for flights in and out of the Airport, over power supply to NAMA facilities and staff accommodations that were disconnected. It was gathered that on Friday that FAAN disconnected power supply to all NAMA staff accommodations due to non-payment of electricity bills. Sources said that very important personalities stranded at the airport, including some federal lawmakers, deputy governors and others, were already intervening to sort out the differences so as to restore flights operation.

This diagram shows the orbits of Jupiter's irregular satellites as they are known at the end of the year 2000. The 11 new satellites, including S/2000 J1, are shown in green to distinguish them from the previously known satellites (white). The orbits plotted in the figure will be refined by measurements to be taken in the months and years ahead. The 10 million kilometer scale bar corresponds to about 70 times the diameter of Jupiter. Jupiter (shown as an inset) has radius 71,400 km. Although the orbits look very dense in the figure, the space they traverse is huge and collisions are rare. For comparison, the distance between the earth and the moon is 380,000 km, slightly smaller than the radius of the orbit of Jupiter's satellite Io (the innermost yellow circle in the Figure).

A week ago, Frank Fierro was forced to land his single-engine plane on Sunrise Highway after experiencing engine trouble. On Friday afternoon, Fierro, 75, took the ultralight Challenger plane back to the air for the first time, but more engine trouble after taking off from Lufker/Spadaro Airport once again forced him to put the plane down on Sunrise Highway in East Moriches, police said. Fierro, who is from Lake Ronkonkoma according to FAA records, landed the plane safely on the eastbound side of the highway at about 12:50 p.m. and he was able to move the plane to the right shoulder, police said. Suffolk Police Highway Patrol and Seventh Precinct officers assisted airport personnel to tow the plane back to the East Moriches airport. There were no injuries reported. Fierro told NBC 4 that a burnt fuse caused the homemade plane to stall on both occasions.

One of the two people who died after a plane crashed in New York Thursday evening after experiencing engine trouble reached loved ones in his final moments, officials said. Pilot Boruch Taub and passenger Binyamin “Ben” Chaffetz died when they crashed near Westchester Airport, north of New York City, while attempting to make an emergency landing after taking off from JFK International Airport. A single-engine Beechcraft en route to the Cuyahoga County Airport near Cleveland, Ohio, malfunctioned after takeoff after the pilot reported to air traffic control that the plane had a “dead cylinder” and was losing oil pressure. “The pilot realized he only had a few minutes to try to land the plane safely — he just couldn’t do it,” Westchester County Executive George Latimer said during a news conference. As the plane struggled to stay in the air, Chaffetz texted the family, expressing love and asking for their prayers. CNN affiliate WEWS in Ohio. Chaffetz contacted his wife in the final minutes of the flight and told her “goodbye,” Latimer said. According to Latimer, Taub and Chaffetz were members of an orthodox Jewish community in Ohio. Rabbi Nissim Abrin of Bais Avrohom told WEWS they are comforting their community amid the tragic loss. “I think those messages really reflected what was most important in his mind, and that was his love for his family,” Abrin said. “We have lost two of our best – wonderful husbands, fathers, friends, people, pillars of our community, who would drop anything they were doing to help someone else at any time,” he said. Before the crash, the pilot and air traffic control engaged in a quick exchange of information about problems with the plane, according to LiveATC.net’s audio of the incident. “We are going to declare a state of emergency. We’re losing oil pressure,” the pilot is heard telling the top air controller. When the controller asks Taub if he has engine power, the pilot says, “No, the engine is overriding.” A few minutes later, Taub signals a distress call, “Mayday, mayday, mayday.” As the controller tries to give Taub directions to help him land safely on the Westchester Airport runway, the pilot asks for more directions. “I can’t see anything here,” said Topp. The controller guides the pilot along the cleared runway. Then at some point, the controller says that radar contact is lost, and the pilot stops responding. Later, according to preliminary findings from the Federal Aviation Administration, officials found the plane crashed about a mile from Westchester Airport. The bodies were properly examined and released for burial in Ohio, Latimer said. The accident is being investigated by the FAA and the National Transportation Safety Board.

International Space Station, 248 miles above Earth’s surface – Far away from the familiar green, gold and brown hues of Mother Earth’s palm, astronaut Mark Vande Hei lays in a near-fetal position with his knees pressed to his chest. He is a co-pilot on a small, Russian spacecraft whose thrusters are in the active phase. During this time, the astronauts inside the vessel feel about 3G’s (three times the normal gravitational force that one experiences on Earth’s surface) pressed directly into their chests. For the first time in his career, he is preparing to orbit the Earth on his way to the International Space Station (ISS). Launched in November 1998, the ISS is an international space laboratory on which astronauts and cosmonauts conduct space research. According to The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), the spacecraft travels at 17,500 miles per hour and orbits Earth every 90 minutes. Finally, the third and final thruster stops firing. The gravitational force gluing Vande Hei to his seat diminishes to tolerable levels, followed by a new unsettling sensation of falling forward, suspending Vande Hei’s stomach despite being firmly strapped to the spacecraft. Unsettling as it is, this is exactly what is supposed to happen. The ever-present falling sensation signals that the spacecraft is finally in orbit. “It’s very unsettling, lots of new sensations, that sense of falling. In fact, once you’re in orbit, you literally are just falling towards the center of the earth all the time, but we’re moving so quickly horizontally, that we keep missing the earth. But I remember feeling like it was just amazing,” said Vande Hei of the experience. “That’s all being in space is, at least being in orbit around the earth is. Falling.” Once in orbit, the astronauts have approximately six hours of falling left before reaching the ISS. Squished inside what is easily the tightest quarters that exist outside of the earth’s atmosphere, there is only room for essentials on the vessel. Vande Hei’s attention is laser-focused on flying the spacecraft, but if any brave observer could perform a quick scan of the vessel’s cabin with x-ray vision, they would find a treasure: tucked securely among those essentials is an illumination from The Saint John’s Bible, titled“To the Ends of the Earth.” This illumination is a special one. Plucked straight from the final page of the Gospels and Acts volume of the work, the illumination was crafted using a view of planet earth inspired by the Apollo 8 mission. The brushstrokes and colors of this particular piece of art, were painstakingly and thoughtfully executed by Donald Jackson, Artistic Director of the project and world-renowned calligrapher, with contributions from Sally Mae Joseph and Andrew Jamieson. The artists collaborated to conclude this volume with a striking invitation to examine humanity’s place among the cosmos – a perfect Earthly token to serve as a companion on Vande Hei’s trip to the Heavens. 168 Days of Falling, Falling, Falling The space station has been continuously occupied since November 2, 2000, but Vande Hei’s first time on the station occurred in 2017. On his first space flight, Vande Hei lived on the International Space Station for 168 days, alongside two Russians, three Americans, an Italian astronaut, and, in the second half of his journey, one Japanese astronaut. Vande Hei returned home from his second space flight in 2022, extending the record for a continuous US spaceflight to 355 days. “I remember some great moments when someone would say, ‘Hey, we’re flying over the Northern Lights,’ and, we’d cram five people into the cupola (a small, dome-shaped window through which those on the ISS can gaze outside) whispering to each other, because somehow it just seems more appropriate to whisper,” said Vande Hei. “It’s similar to being in a cathedral, these amazing moments in the dark in the cupola with all the lights turned off and seeing this constantly changing Aurora Borealis with fellow astronauts from all across the world.” Busy as he was, Vande Hei, who graduated from Saint John’s University in 1989, had no shortage of sacred moments such as this during his time on the ISS. Conceptualizing outer space, let alone living in it, can seem as foreign or daunting as existing in an entirely different reality. However, the laws of physics don’t actually change in “outer space.” “We have this sense that space is someplace else, when really we’re in it all the time,” said Vande Hei. “When you go outside and look up at the stars, you’re just standing on a surface looking at the rest of everything else. It’s like we’re a microorganism in a puddle in a parking lot, and that’s what the atmosphere looks like from outside. It feels, to me, much more like we are not separate from space.” Mass is subject to the same conditions of the universe within and outside of Earth’s atmosphere. However, one’s perspective and physical relationship to those conditions change in a very significant way on either side of the veil. For example, the space station completes 16 orbits of Earth in 24 hours. This means that astronauts and tourists on the space station witness 16 sunrises and 16 sunsets on any given “day.” Because the astronauts are outside of Earth’s atmosphere, sunlight isn’t scattered like it is on Earth. In fact, sunlight appears similar to a spotlight, rather than a soft sprinkling of warmth. “It’s a very surreal feeling. It was just a little unsettling, even though it was beautiful,” said Vande Hei. “Looking back on the atmosphere from outside of it, it dawned on me that the atmosphere is a very special place that is very worthy of protection. I contemplated how the whole solar system is illuminated by sunlight, but there are very few places on planets that collect enough atmosphere to the point that sunlight is scattered, and the one we are in happens to be perfectly suited for life to form.” Larger than a Molecule, Smaller than a Planet, Much Smaller than the Universe When the time came for Vande Hei to take a photo of the “To the Ends of the Earth” illumination from the cupola, all these ideas and more were swirling through his mind. “The illumination is certainly iconic, but what was special about it to me was this awe-inspiring idea of where humanity, in general, and even an individual human fits in a very, very small piece of the universe,” said Vande Hei. “That’s a very real experience when you’re in orbit, looking at the earth, and being able to see places that you recognize but at a scale that you’ve never experienced before. It makes you feel incredibly small, and it’s much like the mysteries of faith. It’s hard to get your head wrapped around it.” Hard is an understatement. Though he was equipped with the illumination as a spiritual token from home, decades of research in astrophysics, a real-life visual of the Earth from 250 miles away, and fellow astronauts who were moving through similar emotions — by the end of his first time on the ISS, Vande Hei still felt lost. Counting down the days until re-entry into the Earth’s atmosphere, he was all the more disheartened by his own confusion. “You tend to think about your own mortality before you’re going to go through the heat of reentry in the atmosphere. That perception of being so small and insignificant really hit home for me before I went home,” said Vande Hei. “I was really having a hard time. I felt like I needed to come home with a changed perspective, and I wasn’t sure I had it.” Thankfully, in the days before his scheduled return home, Vande Hei found a moment of solitude to watch a movie. The chosen movie was 25 in 24, a film about the American rock band Switchfoot’s attempt to perform 25 concerts in 24 hours. Alone in his crew quarters, Vande Hei watched as a scene played of the band tucked into their van at 3 a.m., finding a moment of peace together before they would go on stage yet again. “One band member said something that really helped me,” said Vande Hei. “He said, ‘I think we’re all God’s song.’ Somehow that made me feel like I didn’t have to figure everything out. I didn’t have to make sense of it all. I just had to play my notes in the song.” The Saint John’s Bible Heritage Program: Pushing Curiosity to the Ends of the Earth For more stories similar to this one, visit the Heritage Program blog, or subscribe to the program’s monthly e-newsletter, Sharing the Word.

Every other year, MCAS Cherry Point opens its gates to visitors and locals for the air show. Families pile into cars and trek to the tarmac to watch aerial stunts and wander through displays learning about the air station, the military and aviation history. This year’s event is scheduled for May 16-18. MCAS Cherry Point’s air show is the largest air show in the Carolinas and one of the largest military air shows in the Southeast. Friday’s show features nighttime performances, while Saturday and Sunday offers many daytime performances. Gates open for the Friday night show at 5pm with flying from 5:45-10pm. On Saturday and Sunday, gates open at 8am with flying from 10:30am-4:30pm. The theme for this year’s show is “Inspiration to Innovation,” submitted by Chris Kling of Vanceboro. Kling’s theme was selected from 237 entrants in the biennial theme contest. Because he submitted the winning theme, Kling gets to ride with one of the performing aircraft. This year’s air show keeps the tradition of top-notch air performers. Featured in the air entertainment includes the Black Diamond Jet Team, the Smoke-n-Thunder JetCar, Aeroshell, Bill Leff and his restored T-6 Texan, Dan Buchanan with his glider, OTTO the helicopter, New Bern resident Hubie Tolson, a B-25 Panchito, Chris Avery and the CAF Corsair, the MiG-17F, Mike Wiskus and Lucas Oil Airshows, the Black Daggers parachute demonstration team and many others. Other highlights include a Marine Air-Ground Task Force demonstration, the Smoke-n-Thunder jet car, a host of civilian and military aerobatic demonstrations, a fun zone for the kids, plus historic and modern static aircraft displays on the flight line. The night show includes a variety of night-oriented aerial pyrotechnic displays, afterburner flybys, the roaring afterburner display of the Smoke-n-Thunder jet car, the Black Dagger skydivers, a wall of fire ordnance demonstration and a large fireworks display set to patriotic music. The show is providing a series of buses to take guests from the parking area to the tarmac. Don’t forget to bring a lawn chair or blanket, hearing protection, sunscreen and a visor or cap for spending a day in the sun. For those interested in premium seating, several options are available on the air show’s website and include bleacher, box and chalet seating. It’s also important to be mindful of the fact that guests are entering a government facility and are subject to searches at any time.

“Space is the new black,” said menswear designer Nick Graham, who introduced his “Life on Mars” collection during Men’s Fashion Replica Designer Handbags UK in January. Along with chiseled-jawed models in metallic sharkskin suits, Apollo 11 astronaut Buzz Aldrin and Bill Nye the Science Guy walked the runway during the New York show. Sure, you can opt for a kid’s T-shirt at Target, which will run you $8.99. Or you can get a T-shirt/ball cap combo at the Kennedy Space Center Visitors Complex for $19.99. But if you want haute couture, it’s going to cost you. Replica Designer Handbags Space collection includes a $95 purse charm and a space varsity jacket for $895. A black leather space jacket sells for $1,450. “Space is great for fashion because of the different materials used that aren’t everyday fabrics,” Graham said. “Silvers, metallics, all make great statements. Plus, it’s super trendy right now.” Mica Perry, who owns the Melbourne boutique Mica and Molly’s with her sister, Molly Perry Wilson, said space has never gone out of style along the Space Coast. But she was surprised while traveling out West recently to discover her friends in California are fascinated by the launches taking place at Cape Canaveral and Kennedy Space Center. Entrepreneurs such as Elon Musk of SpaceX and Tesla, Amazon and Blue Origin founder Jeff Bezos and Richard Branson of Virgin Atlantic and Virgin Galactic are reaching back into their childhood interests in space, and they have the replica handbags to make it happen, Pearlman said. “They’re bringing an excitement surrounding their own activities to today’s generation,” he said. “Space flight is not just a spectator sport anymore, but something they can take part in. Space is mysterious and huge, Cheap YSL Handbags Graham said. It has a strong hold over our imagination.

Why has Aon decided to partner with Space Expedition to offer space tourism coverage? Aon has a long history in space, and space tourism is an emerging industry. We recognize that it has a lot of potential. Our mission is to not just provide insurance but to help support our customers’ overall business case. Space Expedition Corporation has partnered with a company based in Mojave, California, XCOR Aerospace. Space Expedition, in partnership with XCOR, is offering flights beginning at $95,000. It’s a two-seater, a pilot and a passenger, and they’ll go up to 100 kilometers or 60 miles, which is considered the beginning of space. What does the policy cover? For a space buff, $95,000 is quite an expensive proposition. This coverage provides for a refund in the event the mission is delayed or cancelled. In the worst-case scenario, if the passenger becomes ill or disabled, they would get the refund. Are there opportunities for brokers in space beyond tourism? We’re going to support space entrepreneurs. A current topic that is very popular is on-orbit refueling and servicing for communications satellites. There’s no reason satellites can’t last 20 to 25 years, but they can hold only so much fuel. Another interesting thing is the Google Lunar X Prize, which is offering $30 million for the first commercially funded company that can land a robot on the moon. How did you get into space coverage? I started out doing property casualty insurance. My father was one of the founders of International Space Brokers. ISB was acquired by Aon in 2008. Are you a big sci-fi fan? I’m not. “Star Wars” was good, but I never got into “Star Trek.”

Ever since the United States launched the Vanguard 1 satellite into space on March 17, 1958, solar panels have been an integral part of nearly every satellite, orbiter and space station. Now, after decades of lackluster development, both technologies– solar and space flight– are “taking off.” For many of us who grew up in the last century, our first awareness of photovoltaic (PV) panels was seeing photos of the futuristic blue wings that powered the Russian Soyuz spacecraft, or the American Skylab space station, or the plethora of communications satellites that were being launched into orbit. It wasn’t until a little later that PV panels began to spring up as power plants for remote outposts, and finally, for off-grid homes. Now, solar arrays are becoming ubiquitous here on earth, and after a long period of stalled funding and conflicted priorities at NASA, privately-funded space travel is finally becoming a reality as well. This exponential growth in both areas, solar and space travel, bodes well for a future of collaborative development that could help bootstrap both technologies to the next level. Space Based Solar Power, or SBSP, is one concept that might allow for the production of solar power in space that could be used on earth. The motivation behind SBSP is that Earth’s atmosphere blocks more than half of the sun’s energy before it reaches our planet’s surface. This is a really good thing for those of us living on the surface (otherwise we would all be scorched), but it does seriously hinder our ability to harvest all of the solar energy available to us. To access a lot more solar power, orbiting solar platforms could capture the sun’s energy and convert it into a form that could be transmitted to earth, Microwaves are one idea, or lasers could be used. Last year, Dr Paul Jaffe, a spacecraft engineer at the US Naval Research Laboratory, told CNN that the concept is scientifically sound.”NASA and the US Department of Energy did a study in the late 70s that cost $20 million at the time and looked at it in pretty great depth,” Dr Jaffe told CNN. “The conclusion at that time was that there was nothing wrong with the physics but the real question is the economics.” Now, in an era of advanced robotic to build the arrays, inexpensive and more efficient solar panels and relatively cheap privately-owned launch vehicles to carry the equipment into space, We could see serious development in SBSP in the next decade. Solar Powered Space Travel In June of 2015, Bill Nye– known to several generation of TV viewers as “Bill Nye the Science Guy”– along with his organization The Planetary Society, launched LightSail, an experimental 11 pound solar-powered spacecraft, into earth’s orbit. The Planetary Society is a non-government organization that promotes space research, and its goal is to make it possible for spacecraft to travel great distances affordably- powered by the sun. LightSail, as it’s name suggests, is pushed along by the photons of solar “wind” much as a sailing ship on earth is moved by moving air (which is also the result of solar power, BTW.) LightSail is not the first project to experiment with the solar sail. Japan’s space agency successfully launched IKAROS (Interplanetary Kite-craft Accelerated by Radiation Of the Sun) in 2010. The 700 pound satellite sailed past the planet Venus seven months later, successfully completing its planned mission. Both LightSail and IKAROS are pushed directly by the power of the sun, although IKAROS also uses PV panels to generate electricity. Larger, interplanetary vehicles in the future may use the solar sail idea, but whatever mode of propulsion, they will most certainly use PV as a source for electricity. Mars One is a somewhat controversial privately funded project aiming to travel to the red planet and establish a colony there. Solar is the projects power source of choice. The Mars One Website states that: “The Sun is a reliable, robust, and plentiful energy source. Using solar panels is the best choice for Mars One since it takes away the requirement to develop and launch a nuclear reactor, thereby saving time and money while avoiding the risks and concerns of the use of a nuclear power source….Thin film solar (photovoltaic) panels will power the Mars One settlement. These are less efficient than those more commonly used in aerospace, but have the advantage of being extremely light, and are thus easily transportable. The first settlement will install approximately 3000 square meters of power generating surface area.” Aside from the difficulty in getting public support for launching a nuclear reactor into space, thin-film solar would be much easier to transport, undoubtedly. However, Mars rovers to date have taken a tremendous beating from the dust and dust storms on Mars, so keeping panels clean and functional will be a major challenge for Mars One, or any other explorers, that reach Mars. As we can see, solar and space travel are as closely allied as technology now as they were in the days of Vanguard 1. Unfortunately, there are still many hurdles to jump over before either solar, or space travel, or solar space travel, reach their full potential.

At last, we come to the last. In our final aircraft radio call anatomy class, we will look at the remarks section of your radio call. Remarks are always optional. If you make them wisely, they can help you or your fellow pilots in certain situations. I’ll explain with some examples. “Cessna 5569 Delta*, left crosswind. There’s a flock of birds here at 800 feet, heading north.” Think other pilots in the traffic pattern might be helped by this remark? You bet. “Eleanor Tower, Tomahawk 273 Charlie Papa, five mile straight-in for Runway 3, touch and go. Student pilot.” Telling ATC you are student pilot will usually help your cause if you are still learning the ropes. When possible, ATC will talk a bit slower to you, and give you more breathing room to complete whatever maneuver you need to accomplish. “Middleburg Ground, Archer 5143 X-ray, clearing the runway at Yankee. The braking action was fair.” This is an example of a mandatory remark. Anytime, the braking action on a runway is less than good, pilots are obligated to report the braking action they encountered. If you lose traction on a runway, report it. “Falcon 44 Lima Pirep. Falcon 44 Lima had a loss of 15 knots at 500 feet on climb-out.” When you say “Pirep,” short for Pilot Report, anything you say in your remarks will repeated by ATC to other pilots flying the same flight path as your aircraft. In this case, ATC will alert other pilots with something like this: “Windshear alert. Previous aircraft reported a loss of 15 knots of airspeed at 500 feet on climb-out.” If you feel a remark would help, by all means add one. Avoid making an extended speech: “Tower, Skylane 62 Victor. Usually when I fly into here I can see the big yellow hangar from over the reservoir, but here I am on a 4 mile final and I still can’t see it.” Instead try: “Tower, Skylane 62 Victor estimates 3 miles visibility.” There are as many remarks as there are flying situations. While there are a few mandatory remarks, such as reporting less than good braking action, most remarks are optional. Feel free to add a remark to your radio call when you believe it can help you or your fellow pilots fly safely; and, keep your remark brief. *All call signs, aircraft, and locations in this article are fictional, and designed for training purposes only. Any resemblance to actual people, places, or aircraft are coincidental.

drone motion controller Wanna hear the story of some guys building drones and crafting motion controllers in a garage? Let us introduce you to Tim and MotionPilot, a startup he created with some friends a little while ago. Their goal was to create a brand new type of remote controller for immersive flights with drones. Their idea was to create a device that would enable the pilot to control the drone just by the moves of hand, in a much more intuitive way than with conventional remotes. As filmmakers, we took the opportunity to test it and here’s the story of what went down! Hint: it’s a game changer.

Hello Tony Stark here. I have been quite busy saving the world from evil from Earth and across alien worlds. I require weaponry innovations to protect Earth from these evils and also looking for upgrades to my armoured suits. I could develop it all with my geniuses, but that would be no fun. After all, there is not enough of me to go around. Here are a list of public companies that are potential candidates: Raytheon Technologies (RTX) - Has technology in the aerospace system, intelligence and space, and most importantly missiles and defence. Lockheed Martin Stock (LMT) - Has technology in aeronautics (aircraft), missiles and fire control (air and missile defence), rotary and mission systems (submarines, helicopters), and space (satellites). Northrop Grumman (NOC) - Has technology in aeronautics systems (aircraft systems, surveillance), defence systems, mission systems (communications, controls, radar), and space (satellites, payloads). Looks like we have some heavy weaponry here on Earth to blow anyone away. If I invest and employ these companies under Stark Industries the world will be a better and safer place when I’m not here. - Investors.com – The Best Defense Stocks For Today – And The Future - Yahoo Finance – Stock Tickers and Profiles - Daily Super Heroes – Tony Stark Photo

It is said that during the Second World War, Hitler wanted to deal with the Allied military order to reverse the defeat of Nazi Germany, and ordered Nazi German scientists to secretly develop a kind of flying saucer shaped aircraft. This is what we have always called the Nazi flying saucer, which is also called German flying saucer. today, I will tell you about German Nazi flying saucer News of Nazi UFO in Germany When Germany was about to be destroyed, it is said that soldiers who attacked German cities saw a flying saucer like flying object rising slowly from somewhere in the city. However, when the flying object reached a certain height, it fell again for some unknown reason. No matter what happened to the flying saucer or whether the incident was true or not, the news about Nazi flying saucer spread from then on after the surrender of Germany, both the Western allies and the Soviet Union in Eastern Europe were said to have found the remains of giant disk-shaped flight tests from many German arsenals or laboratories This led those who experienced the scene to conclude that Germany was working on a secret weapon, namely the “Nazi UFO”; According to the inference, it is not difficult to see that the Nazis wanted to use this kind of super weapons to recover their disadvantages in the battlefield. But like many other German super weapons, the same is true of German flying saucers. When the Nazis are stepping up the development of these super weapons, the crisis has already come So these Nazi flying saucers, German flying saucers, were defeated before they were completely developed. This made allied officers or soldiers who entered Germany find many incomprehensible weapon prototypes in German military facilities, including the Nazi flying saucer which has been widely discussed by the outside world, and the reason why a considerable number of people fly to Germany To confirm the authenticity of the UFO, it is not only to find the experimental prototype of the Nazi flying saucer, but also to find the design drawings of the Nazi flying saucer and German flying saucer Evidence of Nazi flying saucers in Germany This almost became a strong evidence of the existence of Nazi flying saucers. Therefore, a relatively complete conjecture emerged later, that is, some people thought that Hitler did not die when Germany was defeated, but fled to the south pole through secret passage, and established an underground base in the South Pole – “Aryan city”; It is not difficult to imagine that if this is true, then most of the Nazi flying saucer incidents witnessed around the world are related to the Nazis. however, such a major event must have solid evidence to prove its authenticity, so it can only be regarded as a legend However, a lot of advanced weapon data collected from Germany are real, and their authenticity is beyond doubt. Although some people say that the test remains of German flying saucers are only left for test helicopters, there is no other statement about the design drawings of Nazi flying saucers. It is so true that people can not doubt that the United States later made special use of Nazi flying saucers The shape of the flying saucer, that is, the German flying saucer, made a kind of disk-shaped aircraft. and in the process of making the aircraft, German scientists participated in the process Some scientists analyze the shape of the Nazi flying saucer. They think that the disc shape of the Nazi flying saucer can enable it to obtain extremely strong maneuverability in flight, realize 90 degree turning, and its speed potential can also be infinitely exploited. Therefore, if the Nazi flying saucer is successfully developed, it will be more advanced than any other aircraft in the world. However, when the Nazi flying saucer is manufactured in the United States, it will be more advanced than any other aircraft in the world After that, it was very unsatisfactory because it was very difficult to fly high and could only fly under ground effect. Naturally, its flying speed was not hard to imagine. Therefore, after the United States made several Nazi flying saucers, it stopped the project Western media reveal the legend of Nazi flying saucer The Spanish newspaper abesai recently published an article entitled “Nazi flying saucer and its so-called moon landing plan”, written by munius middot; Gomez Fernando, translated as follows: the effort to create history (which is often absurd) makes people feel interesting precisely because of the many strange speculations put forward If we choose some of the sayings carefully, we can’t help laughing. For example, Captain Werner Heisenberg of the Naval Shipyard landed on the moon and confirmed that this is a livable place with oxygen. We can walk on the moon in the clothes we wear now; . But if we don’t dwell on the details, we can infer from these legends that the Third Reich of Germany in World War II successfully completed a space program, sending a captain from a naval shipyard to the moon. if so, then Werner middot; Heisenberg was the first Nazi to step on the surface of the moon And the basis of these lunar journeys is the incredible “Harper” series of German flying saucers Nazi flying saucer will realize the plan to bring human beings to Mars According to legend, the Nazis began to build these aircrafts in 1940. The original prototype data of the was amazing, and the speed of the new model was faster. The anti gravity engine of the may have been an important factor in the birth of these unprecedented “big guys”. The most convincing version of the is: “Harper”; A series of Nazi flying saucers took off from the new Swabia secret base in Antarctica. It is said that Hitler built this mysterious base in Antarctica. After Berlin failed, many Nazis fled here This is where the so-called “hollow Earth theory” came into being, saying that Hitler entered the underground world from the South Pole and began to build a new German Empire to rule the world again; The Nazis’ flying saucers conquered space 30 years before the Russians. The absurdity of these anti gravity engined aircraft has been exaggerated to the extent that it even claims that the “Hubble III” set off for Mars in April 1945; After eight and a half months of flight, he finally arrived at Mars in mid January 1946;
