Every astronaut is subjected to stringent health checks before embarking on a mission to space and is constantly monitored while in orbit, in particular their cardiovascular and respiratory systems. The Danish company Damec Research ApS develops medical devices to monitor astronauts' respiratory systems. Its respiratory monitoring system - the Portable Pulmonary Function System (Portable PFS) - is a permanent component on the International Space Station (ISS) and is used for regular checks of the astronauts' health as well as for scientific experiments.
An important part of the Portable PFS is the measurement of gas flow. For this, Damec Reseach ApS trusts the proven technology of Sensirion's mass flow controllers, which guarantee the fast and highly precise control of gas flows. Like all Sensirion sensors, it is based on the innovative CMOSens® Technology. At the centre of every mass flow controller is a calorimetric microsensor (MEMS) which is integrated with the entire signal conditioning electronics on a single, tiny chip. While the flow is measured using a thermal measuring principle, efficient control of the flow is provided by an analogue control switch. This unique integrated technological approach results in excellent performance and reliability even in the zero-gravity space. | aerospace |

USS Henry Hudson Science Department Mission Statement
As Science Officers, we are concerned with all of the scientific, technical and technological aspects behind "Star Trek." We study the various science fiction concepts as seen on each of the various TV series and films, and we learn about how they were often developed from real-life space exploration. Toward this end, we are the 'keepers' of our various cosplay props and such, as well as our models of the various 'Ships of the Line.' We also take an avid interest in 20th/21st century space exploration, and we will at times educate our fellow members on current developments.

How many golf balls can you fit in a 747?
The first thing that strikes your mind is the size of this aircraft, right? But it is not just the size, it is the capacity of the golf balls that make it possible.
The size of this aircraft is equal to almost one hundred thousand square feet, and the weight of this aircraft is around 700,000 pounds. You may wonder how you can fit so many golf balls in it.
It is true that there are a lot of golf balls, and golf balls are used for practice purposes and are also available at golf courses. But the point is that you can’t fit more than two dozen golf balls in it.
But did you know that there are also golf balls in a plane that is flying above us and is in the space of an aircraft carrier?
And is the golf balls that are used for practice purposes and also in case of the flight, you will find them on the inside of the cabin. It is interesting to know that the length of this golf ball is equal to the length of the aircraft.
So, next time you take a flight on an aircraft carrier, you will find that there are golf balls and many more.
I am sure that this video will help you to learn how many golf balls fit in a Boeing 747. So, do watch it and share your experience with other people. | aerospace |

He marched with Surf for a year before heading to the U.S. Navy as an Aviation Support Equipment Technician. Kramer served as a flight deck troubleshooter for Aircraft Crash and Salvage and on a combat deployment with NAVCET Bahrain doing support operations for SEAL Team 3, Army Ranger, and Nightstalkers.
After his two deployments, Kramer received a unique opportunity to rush for the U.S. Navy Blue Angels. He is now a Crew Chief for the #5 Lead Solo jet. In this role, Kramer is responsible for engine turn up operations, instrument checks, and daily aircraft inspections along with maintaining the cockpit, survival equipment, and the overall aircraft appearance.
Kramer says, “The Jersey Surf has definitely prepared me for the high tempo operations of the Navy Flight Demonstration Squadron.” After a summer on the road, he was well adjusted for the high-intensity Blue Angels schedule that includes 64 airshows in 32 cities between March and November. He says that in both drum corps and in the Navy, “Practice makes perfect. Repetition translates to muscle memory which is key when executing maneuvers that require a lot of concentration, and take pride in what you do.” | aerospace |

Compared with the overall vastness of space, the moon is very close to us: it's just 238,900 or so miles away. But compared with our daily experience, absolutely everything in space is absurdly far apart. In the gap between us and the moon, you could neatly slide in all seven of the other planets — with a bit of room to spare. That includes Saturn and Jupiter, which are about nine and 11 times as wide as Earth, respectively. | aerospace |

I was born in NY and have, since earliest memory, been completely obsessed with all things aeronautical. I can still remember sitting on the floor in front of the TV as ‘Live From the Moon’ appeared onscreen for the first time. The greatest technical achievement of mankind.
I lived in Boston and worked in the computer networking field for many years, eventually becoming Director of Operations for a dot com company in the late nineties. I retired at the end of ’99 and, having been a pilot and flight instructor for a long time, spent the next five years or so playing with airplanes. I built a plane, flew it all over the country, wrote for some aviation magazines, and eventually sold it.

BA (Hons) Graphic Design students Emily Hood and Natalie Carr won a competition for their film promoting the festival.
The AUB students produced the film as part of a competition run by Bournemouth Air Festival and local digital design studio Createful, which tasked students to create a 20-second film to promote the festival.
Emily and Natalie received an award for winning the competition and were featured in the Bournemouth Echo, with their campaign also being shared across Createful, Limited Space and Bournemouth Air Festival’s social media channels. Their winning film has been played in numerous shopping centres up and down the country, from Bluewater in Kent, to Derby, displayed on Limited Space advertising screens.
Emily also secured an internship with Createful, and has been working on further promotional pieces for this year’s air festival.
Speaking about their film Natalie said:
“We wanted to focus on presenting the air festival as more than just planes and show the festival in it’s entirety. With just a 20 second timeframe it was a challenge to fit everything in with some kind of narrative, as well as choosing a piece of music that complemented the video.
“We are very proud of our achievement. It has been great to work with Createful, Limited Space and Bournemouth Air Festival.”
Watch the film:

Peter Kämpf, Trained aerospace engineer

Originally Answered: Can planes fly faster?
Airliners can fly a little faster but would consume disproportionally more fuel, and the most economical speed is actually a little slower than what most of them are designed for.
Going supersonic adds a new type of drag (called wave drag) and drives down fuel economy. The Concorde was an excellent design but could not compete once the oil price became a real factor after 1973. Therefore, commercial flying is still subsonic and will stay so for the foreseeable future.
The second generation of jet airliners (Boeing 707, DC-8) were designed for Mach 0.85. The increase in fuel prices since then would have driven down the most economical speed, but advances in aerodynamics have compensated for that and the maximum cruise Mach number is still at Mach 0.85. Please note that we are talking about the maximum cruise Mach number; all airliners will fly more economically at slightly lower Mach numbers between 0.78 and 0.82. Flying any faster than that will drive up drag disproportionally.
Now we need to define efficiency. For airliners this is haul capacity per time and can be expressed by the product of payload, range and speed. When none of the three constituents can be changed without making the product more costly to achieve, you have reached the point of best efficiency.
It appears we will remain at the status quo for a while which reminds me of one of my favorite quotes from Laurence Peter:
Nothing much happens until the status quo becomes more painful than change.

A well worth while visit to Temora today to the Aviation Museum. We had fully intended staying, and still do, at Temora with the main attraction being the Aviation Museum. We had heard several stories about it, and today’s visit proved more than what we had heard. The museum has quite a few old war planes of various types, but today’s visit revealed that they have all been fully restored and are in working order. Every now and then they have a ‘Flying Day’ and today was one of them. At $15.00 admission this proved a day of real value to see all these old planes fly with running commentary. Some larger planes were also flown in for the day from H.A.R.S. (Historical Aviation Restoration Society) on the coast somewhere near Sydney.
Linda was heard to say that on her part it was an awesome day as she had never seen these type old planes in action before, rather than just on display. Any other day the planes are stored in the hangars which are open to the public, along with many other articles. As I said we fully intend returning for a stay and return to the museum to check it out under normal museum conditions, so we didn’t bother looking at any more today, not that we had time anyway. | aerospace |

Today, we're delving into the fascinating world of astronaut suits and uncovering a celestial secret that will leave you starry-eyed. So, fasten your seatbelts, or should I say, spacesuit belts, because we're about to embark on a cosmic journey like no other!
Space Fashion 101
When we think about astronaut suits, our minds often conjure images of gleaming helmets, snazzy white jumpsuits, and those irresistible moon boots. But there's one crucial component of these cosmic costumes that often goes unnoticed: the trusty but oh-so-underappreciated space belt.
Imagine floating in the vast expanse of space, surrounded by stars and planets. Pretty cool, right? But there's a catch: there's no gravity to keep your pants from falling down! Enter the astronaut belt, the unsung hero of space fashion. Its job? To make sure our intrepid space explorers don't accidentally reveal their interstellar undies.
The Belt that Defies Gravity
You might be thinking, "Hey, why not just wear elastic waistbands or suspenders?" Well, that's where it gets interesting. Astronaut belts are not your average run-of-the-mill belts; they are specially designed to withstand the extreme conditions of space.
There's a constant battle between the vacuum of space trying to suck everything out and the astronaut's need to stay put. The belt is pivotal in keeping astronauts securely fastened to their suits, ensuring they don't float away like a rogue asteroid. It's like the ultimate fashion-meets-function combo!
The Cosmic Velcro
Now, you might be wondering how these belts work their magic. Astronaut belts often employ a system that's a cross between Velcro and a seatbelt buckle from the future. These high-tech fasteners provide a snug fit, preventing the suit from ballooning up like a cosmic marshmallow.
These belts also serve as a connection point for various tools and equipment. Astronauts can attach their tethers, utility belts, and even portable life support systems to these cosmic clasps, allowing them to easily carry out their spacewalks.
A Space Odyssey for Fashionistas
While functionality is vital in the world of astronaut suits, there's no denying that style also plays a role. Space agencies take great care in designing suits that protect astronauts and look out-of-this-world chic. Astronaut belts are often adorned with space agency logos, adding a touch of cosmic flair to the ensemble.
Imagine floating through the cosmos with a sleek, high-tech belt, subtly showcasing your affiliation with NASA or another space agency. It's like being part of an elite intergalactic fashion club!
So there you have it, fellow adventurers of the unknown – the role of belts in astronaut suits is far more than just holding up space pants. They're the cosmic connectors that keep our spacefarers tethered to reality while allowing them to explore the great unknown.
Next time you watch a rocket launch or gaze up at the night sky, take a moment to appreciate the humble yet essential astronaut belt. It's proof that even in the far reaches of the universe, fashion and function can come together in perfect harmony. So, until next Fun Fact Friday, keep looking up and stay fabulously cosmic! | aerospace |

Aviation giants celebrate successful biannual show
American aviation manufacturer Boeing and European rival Airbus have celebrated a successful Farnborough International Airshow.
Boeing, which celebrates its centennial tomorrow, has seen multi-billion dollar orders and commitments across the company, including defence platforms, commercial airplanes and services agreements.
At the same time, Airbus won $35 billion worth of business for a total of 279 aircraft, covering by single-aisle and widebody aircraft families.
The deals comprise firm orders for 197 aircraft worth $26.3 billion and commitments for 82 aircraft worth $8.7 billion.
John Leahy, Airbus chief operating officer, customers said: “Our orders this week at Farnborough confirm a buoyant industry in which we have once again surpassed our competitor.
“In addition, airlines upsizing to the A321neo shows that this aircraft is the undisputed ‘middle-of-the-market’ champion.”
Customers announced orders and commitments during the week for a total of 182 Boeing commercial airplanes, valued at $26.8 billion at list prices.
Boeing has booked 321 net orders in 2016, as updated today on the Boeing Orders & Deliveries website.
Customers also announced commercial services agreements valued at multiple billion dollars over the life of the contracts, including the largest commercial services order in Boeing history.
“As the birthplace of British aviation, there are few better backdrops to celebrate the accomplishments and wonders of the aerospace industry and mark our centennial than the Farnborough Airshow,” said Boeing chairman Dennis Muilenburg.
“Throughout the show, we demonstrated and discussed our innovative and cost effective products and services and the tremendous value they provide our commercial and defence customers.”
“On the commercial side of the business, we were pleased at the confidence our customers displayed in our portfolio of airplanes and services with significant orders and other announcements,” Muilenburg said. | aerospace |

The National Transportation Safety Board has released thousands of documents in connection to the helicopter crash that killed Kobe Bryant, his daughter Gianna, and other passengers.
Before and during flights Kobe would have group texts with personnel and the texts reveal that weather was a concern before the flight.
According to text messages, the pilot, Ara Zoboyan, may have become disoriented while flying the helicopter in thick fog and reported that he was climbing when in reality he was descending toward a hillside.
The report all but confirms earlier findings that the helicopter was functional, but still doesn’t give a clear picture of what actually caused the helicopter crash that killed all passengers.

Rocket-maker United Launch Alliance is putting in motion efforts to modify its Atlas 5 rocket pad at Cape Canaveral into a human launch site capable of loading astronaut crews in commercial spacecraft of the future.
The firm announced this week it has hired Hensel Phelps Construction Co. of Orlando, which built the site a dozen years ago, to manage the upcoming project.
“Hensel Phelps brings significant experience working major construction projects including the original construction for Atlas 5 at SLC-41, as well as Atlas modifications at SLC-3 in California,” said George Sowers, ULA vice president of Human Launch Services. “We are honored that The Boeing Company with its Crew Space Transportation (CST)-100 spacecraft has selected our flight-proven Atlas 5 launch vehicle and will be our partners as we move into this next phase of development.”
ULA says the project could ultimately create 250-300 aerospace and construction jobs in Brevard County.
Hensel Phelps will partner with ULA, officials said, to design the crew accommodation tower and access arm needed for astronauts at Complex 41 to board their spacecraft.
What’s more, an emergency egress system will be created to provide astronauts and pad workers a way to rapidly evacuate the area in the event of a dangerous situation.
The deal also includes developing the overall project requirements, cost and schedule projections, and risk mitigation for modifying to the existing launch facilities for commercial crew operations in a 21-month program.
“Hensel Phelps is excited about teaming with ULA and their partners on the modifications of SLC-41,” said Kirk Hazen, vice president of Hensel Phelps. “It is an honor and privilege to be a part of the next generation of human spaceflight.”
The Atlas 5 rocket family has been flying since August 2002, carrying out 33 successful missions from both coasts combined, including 10 flights dedicated to the Defense Department, 9 commercial missions with communications spacecraft, seven for NASA and seven with spy satellites for the National Reconnaissance Office.
The Cape vehicles are assembled inside the 293-foot tall Vertical Integration Facility located 1,800 feet from the pad, then wheeled out aboard a mobile launching platform the day before flight.
The 1.4-million pound mobile platform is what the Atlas 5 sits upon from the time it is stacked together until the main engine is fired at liftoff. Umbilicals feeding fuel, power and all other lines from the ground to the rocket run through the platform and its towering mast.
But the concept of Atlas 5 is meant to spend very limited time on the pad, which does not feature a service gantry or permanent umbilical tower like other sites. That makes creation of the commercial crew structures a critical step in launching humans instead of only satellite payloads.
Work to build Complex 41 began in 1963 and the pad opened for business in 1965, hosting 27 Titan rocket launches through 1999 that sent NASA’s Viking landers to Mars, the twin Voyager probes to the solar system’s outer planets and various other communications and military satellites into Earth orbit.
In October 1999, amid much fanfare, the Titan’s mobile service tower and umbilical tower were explosively toppled to the ground, allowing workers to safely dismantle the structures that Atlas 5 would not need given the “clean pad” concept.
The most visible parts of the pad — all left over from the Titan program — are the four lightning protection masts, designed to shield the rocket during Florida’s frequent thunderstorms, and the massive flame duct.
There are also four fuel tanks scattered around the pad. The largest is the sphere-shaped 465,000 gallon liquid oxygen tank that holds the super-cold cryogenic for the Atlas first stage. Two 48,000 gallon RP-1 tanks are filled with the highly-refined kerosene fuel, also for the Atlas booster. The Centaur upper stage consumes liquid oxygen and liquid hydrogen, which are stored in separate 28,000 gallon and 48,000 gallon tanks, respectively.
“With 33 successful missions spanning a decade of operational service, the commercially developed Atlas 5 is uniquely qualified to provide launch services for the Crew Transportation System,” said Sowers. “We look forward to working with Hensel Phelps to take the next steps in launching crew from SLC-41 and providing safe and reliable crew launch services as early as 2015.”
Atlas 5 is the rocket of choice for Boeing’s CST-100 capsule and Sierra Nevada’s Dream Chaser vehicle in NASA’s Commercial Crew Integrated Capability (CCiCap) program to launch astronauts from U.S. soil into low-Earth orbit, ending the gap in human spaceflight after retirement of the space shuttles. | aerospace |

Known as the Airspace Technology Demonstration (ATD-2), the project involved the development of software that calculates gate pushbacks at busy hub airports, allowing each airplane to roll directly onto the runway to take off. The FAA plans to deploy the capability as part of a larger investment in surface management technology at 27 airports in the U.S. starting next year.
Over the past six years, NASA’s ATD-2 project demonstrated the benefits of a suite of airport operations tools known as Integrated Arrival, Departure, and Surface (IADS) technology. The tools, flight tested over the past four years with the help of Southwest Airlines at Dallas Love Field and American Airlines at Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport and Charlotte Douglas International Airport in North Carolina, proved the software’s ability to aid taxi and departure efficiency, saving fuel and time and cutting CO2 emissions.
During testing at Charlotte Douglas International Airport, the program reduced taxi times, helping to save more than 275,000 gallons of fuel annually, or enough to fly 185 Boeing 737 aircraft between New York and Chicago. The program also reduced greenhouse gas emissions by eight tons of carbon dioxide daily and cut delays by 916 hours over four years, equivalent to an average of 15 minutes of wait time on a taxiway for more than 3,600 departing flights.
The FAA plans to implement IADS capabilities via a new program called Terminal Flight Data Manager (TFDM). It expects to deploy TFDM at 89 airports, beginning next year with Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport. More advanced IADS capabilities demonstrated under ATD-2 will go to 27 of the nation’s busiest airports under TFDM.
Speaking Tuesday during the joint NASA-FAA webcast, NASA administrator Bill Nelson noted that the program dovetails with the Biden Administration’s efforts to address climate change. The project traces its roots to navigation technology developed for space travel and already has proven its effectiveness in civil aviation.
“We had already done this with the FAA years ago on descent,” he explained. “You think when you’re cruising along, say coming from the south into [Reagan Washington National Airport], you start descending over Richmond and it is continuous. It’s not a stair-step…It’s continuous and it’s saving fuel.”
FAA administrator Steve Dickson explained that the software calculates the best time for an aircraft to push back from the gate, allowing it to roll directly to the runway and reduce taxi delays and ramp congestion. And after takeoff, the system allows air traffic controllers to merge the flight directly into the stream of jet traffic, again saving time and fuel.
“Passengers love it, and we’re documenting great results,” said Dickson. “Across these 27 airports, we estimate the savings are more than seven million gallons of fuel and the elimination of more than 75,000 tons of CO2 emissions every year.” | aerospace |

Aircraft cleaning is an important component of the maintenance matrix, but cleaning is often ignored or minimized. Cleaning ought to be a priority, and it shouldn’t be neglected by the owner/operator.
“each person performing an annual or 100-hour inspection shall thoroughly clean the aircraft and aircraft engine.” FAR 43, Appendix D
The condition of your aircraft’s exterior is very important for both aesthetics and safety. A clean aircraft is a healthy aircraft and a thorough cleaning aircraft reveals problems that may be developing prior to becoming safety of flight issues. Through our “Dry Wash” method, we have experienced finding a tiny crack or broken rivet or a budding batch of filiform corrosion while washing aircraft.
This method involves no water and eliminates all environmental issues. Dry Wash is a more detailed and thorough aircraft cleaning than a traditional wet wash. Arizona Aircraft Painting uses a specialized solvent applied in four-foot sections, then hand polishes each section to a long-lasting shine plus UV protection. The landing gear is protected from water penetration by using a special cleanser that meets Boeing specifications.
- Mobile Dry Wash Service Another distinct advantage of our Dry Wash system is that we can service your aircraft anywhere.
- Save Money More aircraft owners, pilots, and operators are switching to a Dry Wash system not only for amazing results but for the cost savings it offers.
- Lasts up to three months
- FAA approved
Arizona Aircraft Painting will restore transparency to clear and colored acrylics, i.e. Plexiglas, Acrylite, Lucite, Polycast. We use a unique liquid along with hand polishing technology to remove hairline scratches, haziness, and halos. Our product contains no fillers or waxes that cause yellowing.
Emergency mobile service available for aircraft grounded by the FAA.
Permagard is a specialized permanent deep gloss paint protection system. Once applied to your aircraft’s paint surface, the annual maintenance costs are substantially reduced – with the bonus of added protection against corrosion, fading, and oxidation caused by UV & IR. Additional advantages of Permagard include:
- Brilliant long lasting deep gloss and shine
- Eliminates swirl marks
- Does not contain wax or silicates and does not have to be stripped off
- Easy to clean, no need to polish ever again
- Dramatically reduces cleaning time by up to 45%
- Reduces drag resulting in reduced fuel costs
A thorough cleaning results in scrutiny that is extra-diligent and even more detailed than the most careful visual inspection. Inside the aircraft, we start work from the cockpit, back through the entire cabin. In the cabin, we take care of every detail. Standard interior detailing includes:
- Interior Service Cleaning interior Windows, Instrument Panel & Lenses, Headliner, Brow, Interior Plastics, Seats & Door Panels, as well as cleaning of all carpets and upholstery. ( Standard carpet cleaning includes vacuuming and spot cleaning.)
- Carpet Extraction Carpet extraction goes a step beyond, using steam cleaning to bring the original texture and appearance back to the carpet. Our Extraction Service will restore carpet appearance, pile, and smell.
- Leather Treatment Cleaning and conditioning all leather seats. The aircraft interior is exposed to dry air at altitude. This can significantly shorten the life of expensive leather. By having us meticulously clean and dress your aircraft’s leather you will have soft and uncracked seats.
Hand waxing the exterior restores life to the finish of your aircraft. This procedure is recommended at least once a year. Machine buffing gives your aircraft that high gloss look. Soaps and de-greasers often cause stripping of the paint. Machine buffing with a high-quality wax removes oxidation and staining and leaves your aircraft sparkling.
Metal Polish (AKA Bright Work)
Polishing Brightwork not only enhances the appearance of your aircraft, but it also reduces corrosion. Protection with corrosion inhibitors is a simple way to prevent metal from degrading. Airborne moisture can begin damaging metals rapidly after just 6 months. We can polish any airplane part regardless of its size. A mirror finish is guaranteed.

Since September 1st, 2018, Korean Air has been operating the new Seoul – Zagreb flight service three times a week, on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday.
Flights from Seoul/Incheon to Zagreb depart at 11:05 and arrive in Croatia at 15:45 on the same day, whereas return flights depart from Zagreb at 17:20 and land in Seoul at 11:30 the next day. The new service is operated with an Airbus 330-200 that seats 218 passengers.
Korean Air is the first airline to connect Croatia and Asia with a direct flight. Business results of Seoul – Zagreb flight have already matched the airline’s expectations, and it’s entirely possible they will soon introduce flights to other destinations in Croatia. ‘We continue to promote Zagreb as our newest European gateway’, they’d said in a statement issued before the service was launched.
Croatia has been seeing an impressive inflow of tourists from South Korea in recent years, their number increasing by 250% in the first half of 2014 alone.
Koreans’ interest in Croatia as a destination is probably owed to a popular reality show titled ‘The Romantic’ that was filmed in Croatia in 2012. The recorded number of tourists from South Korea has only been growing ever since. | aerospace |

Piantadosi (The Biology of Human Survival: Life and Death in Extreme Environments, 2003) reviews the history of the space program, with special emphasis on the biological challenges of human space exploration in a zero-gravity environment. In his view, establishing a manned moon base is a critical first step. “To get to Mars,” he writes, “astronauts must function in deep space for years and will face huge challenges in doing so.” While the moon is readily accessible, a population living on Mars would face the significant constraints imposed by distance and orbital mechanics. A Mars-based society would need to be self-sufficient, with fail-safe life-support systems in place (even a temporary loss of power would be catastrophic.) Further, colonists on the moon or Mars would face increased exposure to cosmic radiation, the loss of bone and muscle density, and possible challenges to their cardiovascular and immune systems. Despite the lower cost and reduced risk of the unmanned space program, Piantadosi believes that America (“the unquestioned leader in space since Project Apollo”) should also maintain its commitment to manned space exploration in order to keep its technological edge. While robots on the moon are already gathering important scientific information, only humans have the flexibility and imagination to allow scientists to pursue the unexpected. The author also considers the prospect of going beyond Mars to colonize the outer planets and beyond in the foreseeable future. He puts forth the lesson that the difficulties involved offer “the best incentives we have to take the best possible care of Spaceship Earth.”

These ambulances are fully equipped and are capable of beginning emergency care at the site of incident and through the journey to a hospital. These ambulances are named "Hospital on Wheels" to distinguish them from traditional transport ambulances.
The ambulances are located at strategic locations in the city providing easy access to people living in different parts of the city.
Are used in cases where the transport by ground ambulance could endanger the life of a patient or in remote areas where there is no ground accessibility. The services can be provided by mostly fixed wing aircrafts and sometimes helicopters. Aircrafts are much cheaper when compared to helicopters but the patient must be located at a site where an airstrip is available.
These services are offered across the country and details of contact persons can be obtained from Department of Emergency Medicine, Apollo Hospitals Bangalore. While aviation companies will provide the aircraft and take care of aviation logistics, National Network of Emergency Services will take care of the medical aspects like providing trained personnel, equipment and medical care during the flight. | aerospace |

Made of large, ultra-thin plastic sheets, solar sails will be "pushed" by sunlight—essentially light particles or photons. In the 1860s, Scottish physicist James Maxwell demonstrated that light does indeed exert pressure, convincing scientists and engineers that solar sailing can be used to propel spacecraft to the stars.
Closer to home, NASA engineers believe that solar sails are an ideal propulsion system for exploring the outer edges of our solar system. Solar sails don't need huge tanks of fuel and oxygen. And unlike rockets, spacecraft powered by the "wind of the sun" accelerate constantly. So speeds could far exceed those achieved by rocket propulsion.
The engineering part of this science has progressed at a steady and promising pace. In May, Japan successfully launched IKAROS--the first-ever spacecraft to use a solar sail--now headed toward Venus. NASA plans to launch a sail this fall and the Planetary Society has scheduled a launch sometime in 2011.
The biggest challenge facing NASA engineers in their quest to harness solar sail power is to lighten the sail's supporting booms. Reducing the sail's overall mass increases the acceleration imparted by light particles from the sun. Engineers are evaluating a whole new generation of tough, lightweight materials for these supporting structures.

In 2013 alone, over 100 people have been killed in a total of eight fatal incidents all involving Russian aircrafts.
From 1945, there have been over 300 reported incidents of air crashes in Russia, second only to USA. The latest crash happened in December 2013 when a cargo plane crashed in Siberia and killed nine people. Before that, fifty people died in a Boeing 737 crash when it was trying to land at the Kazan International Airport. Poor crew training, bad airport service, neglect by the government and crumbling airports has been blamed upon for these crashes.
Several crashes have been blamed upon pilot, counterfeiting and engineering errors as well since most of the planes in these aircrafts are Russian built. The country has the proper know-how in aviation since the Russians have always been a leader when it came to aerospace domination. One of the worst airline crashes in Russia took place in 1983 when a Korean plane to Seoul was mistakenly diverted towards Russia who thought it was a spying plane and attacked it killing 269 passengers.
Aeroflot, the country’s flag carrier is the oldest and the largest airline of Russia. They also have the history of having the most number of plane crashes in Russia, the latest being the 2008 crash in the Bolshoye Savino Airport involving a Aeroflot Nord airline which killed all the 88 people who were on board. Over the last decade, the following are the worst crashes in Russian aviation history.
- In 2004, the Domodedovo Airport was breached by two female Chechen suicide bombers who destroyed two planes, a Volga-Avia Express Flight and a Siberia Airlines Flight which killed 90 passengers. This led to the country spending $20 million on security equipment including full body scanners, making this airport one of the most advanced airports in that time. More information about Domodedovo airport you can read on the Russianblogger.me website.
- Yet again, in 2011, Domodedovo Airport was breached by another suicide bomber who caused an explosion which killed 37 people and injured another 173.
- In 2006, a passenger flight of Tupolev Tu-154 belonging to Pulkovo Aviation flying from Anapa crashed in Ukraine killing all the 160 passengers and 10 crew members aboard.
- On 9th July 2006 witnessed another horrifying plane crash, this time in Irkutsk when Flight 778 of S7 Airlines en route from Moscow crashed at the Irkutsk International Airport killing 124 of the 203 people aboard due to bad weather conditions. The plane slid over hundreds of meters of wet runway and crashed through a barricade made of concrete proceeding to hit a group of garages and then burst into flames. It is the third highest death toll in an aviation accident involving an airbus A310 in the world.
- The Sochi International Airport witnessed an airplane crash in May 2006 when an Armavia plane crashed into the Black Sea en route from Yerevan resulting in the death of all the 113 passengers aboard. This was the first major accident in commercial airlines during that year.
- In 2008, Aeroflot Flight 821 crashed because of the turbulent weather and resulted in the death of 88 people.
Apart from these, the country has witnessed many more plane crashes which had lesser or no causalities. Russia is preceded only by U.S.A. when it comes to plane crashes and that too by over 900 crashes. Factors from neglect to sheer carelessness, to counterfeit parts have been held accountable for these crashes. | aerospace |

As this is a technology demonstration, this experiment was filled with great challenges and firsts, with a planned experiment session 31 days long. The rover will monitor flights, measure meteorological data, and provide long-range communications for the helicopter. It is the first aircraft of any kind to land on another planet.
The first design challenge is the thin Mars atmosphere, which is just 1% as thick as the air we breathe. Since the air was so thin, scientists designed Ingenuity to be as light as possible, so it has miniaturized computers, sensors, and motors. It is 19 inches high with a 4-foot (1.2 m) carbon-fiber rotor that will spin at an incredible 2,400 RPM to generate enough thrust to lift the four pounds into the thin Martian atmosphere. That design also meant a small 5.5 inch (14cm) cube chassis. Given the weight limits, batteries needed to be small, limiting flight time to 90 seconds.
One factor helping this challenge was the significantly lower gravity of Mars, which is just 38% of Earth’s gravity. It would be much more difficult to achieve flight in that thin are with Earth’s gravity. On Earth, the altitude record for helicopters is 40,814 ft (12,442 m), but the pressure on Mars is equivalent to 22 miles (35km) above Earth’s surface.
The next design challenge was to survive the severe temperatures from -115°F in the night to -10°F during the day, which it did thanks to the excellent lightweight insulation. To save weight and space, scientists designed thin sheets of insulation with air trapped between them, just as layers of feathers trap air around a duck or goose.
The final design challenge was that the flight needed to be autonomous because the communications delay between Mars and Earth is several minutes. Given the weight and power restrictions plus temperature extremes, scientists combined new controllers, sensors, and cameras with smartphone devices to create the helicopter’s control system.
The first step after arriving on mars was to drop the protective shield and land on Martian soil. The sequence looked something like this test of the rover-helicopter equipment before launch:
Ingenuity touched Martian soil on April 3rd, landing on its feet. Here is a shot of Ingenuity hanging under Perseverance rover, ready to drop:
On the ground, after initial diagnostics, it send back this first photo from beneath the rover, proving all was well:
From April 3rd to the 19th, the helicopter absorbed the Sun’s rays, charging the batteries and scientists tested the navigation camera, accelerometer, gyroscope, and laser altimeter. Then diagnostics included testing the rotor without lifting off and finally loading the first flight plan.
The flight plan is a set of steps or milestones that Ingenuity’s brains will move to meet. Imagine someone telling you to get up from the couch and get a glass of water. They don’t need to tell you which muscles to move or individual waypoints. The flight plan works the same way – It will tell Ingenuity to spin the rotors for a set time, fly this high in this direction, take a few photos, and land. The processor then uses the sensors and rotor spin to match that path as closely as possible. Since this was a technology demonstration, the flights would start simple and increase in complexity as Ingenuity passed each step.
Since the rover cannot move the helicopter upright after a crash or after topping over and there are so many unknowns about operating in thin atmosphere and light gravity, NASA is taking baby steps. Each flight will test one or two maneuvers, then land and recharge while scientists examine all the data.
Ingenuity’s first flight on April 19 was short and simple, but historic – It climbed to an altitude of 10 feet, hovered for 30 seconds, then descended safely to the surface for a total of 39 seconds of flight. This was the first flight on Mars and like the Wright brothers’ flight simply proved flight was possible and that all systems worked as expected:
NASA has named the location for the Ingenuity flights “Wright Brothers Field”. Here’s’ the first shot of the field from Ingenuity at 10 feet:
The second flight on April 22 was a slightly higher altitude of 16 feet (5m) with a slight tilt of 5° to move 7 feet (2m) sideways. Then the helicopter hovered, rotated to point the camera in different directions, then headed back to the center of Wright Field and landed again.
Ingenuity’s third flight was again more complicated, this time moving 164 feet (50m) sideways at 6.6 fps (2mps) at same altitude as the second flight, 16 feet (5m):

Cameron Balloons Limited has applied for European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) Third Country Production and Maintenance Organisation approvals. These approvals will provide continuity after Brexit day with regards to Cameron Balloons Limited being able to manufacture, maintain and release products in conformance with the applicable EASA type approvals and applicable European Commission regulations.
In the event that the United Kingdom should leave the European Union without a deal being agreed between the two parties then the EASA Type Certificates and Design Organisation Approval applicable to Cameron Balloons Limited will remain valid for at least nine months after Brexit day (EU regulation 2018/1139). During this nine month period, we would expect EASA and the UK Civil Aviation Authority to make positive arrangements regarding the future relationship of general aviation including manufacturing, maintenance etc.
In the event that the United Kingdom Government and European Union can agree a deal prior to Brexit day then it is likely that the UK Civil Aviation Authority and EASA will be able to maintain a close working relationship with regards to general aviation including manufacturing and maintenance of aircraft including balloons and airships.
Cameron Balloons has also agreed to pay any extra costs for the importation of their balloons which derive as a direct result of Brexit for orders confirmed before 31st Oct 2019.
To summarise, it is our intent that our customers will see no difference in price, service or operation of their balloons after Brexit to their experience now.

Kitty’s War is available in print or e-book at Amazon and other online outlets.
Kitty’s War Back Cover Blurb
Seeking adventure, shy Kitty Greenlee joins the Women’s Army Corps. In 1944 England, as secretarial support to the 8th Air Force, she encounters her dream man, a handsome lieutenant who only has eyes for her blonde friend. Uncomfortable around men, Kitty doesn’t think the handsome officer could want someone like her.
Recovering from wounds, Ted Kruger wants to forget about losing his closest friends and have fun before returning to danger as a bomber navigator. When Ted recognizes Kitty as the girl who rescued him two years before, he must choose between dating the sexy blonde or pursuing quiet, serious-minded Kitty even though he knows he’s not nearly good enough for her.
As the war gears up with the D-Day invasion, will Kitty and Ted risk their hearts as well as their lives?
Last February when we went for a ride on the B-17 Nine-O-Nine, we also got an up-close view of the B-24 Witchcraft. The Collings Foundation had three WWII vintage airplanes on display that day and all flew passengers. The third plane was a P-51 Mustang or, more specifically, a TF-51D Mustang which is a two-seated training fighter. Since it was in the air most of the afternoon, we didn’t get as close to the fighter.
While researching for my novel, Kitty’s War, I read up on America’s two heavy bombers trying to decide which one to use in my story. The B-17 won out but I was impressed by the B-24’s capabilities.
The B-24 Liberator was a heavy bomber designed by Consolidated Aircraft. It’s design was more modern than Boeing’s B-17. The B-24 had a faster speed, heavier load capacity and the ability to fly at higher altitudes. Many crews preferred the B-24 over the B-17, but the B-17 had a reputation for making it back to its home base despite heavy damage. The B-24 had a tendency to break up when heavily damaged, especially when it hit the water. That’s because of the structure and location of the bomb bay.
I climbed inside the Witchcraft to get a feel for the aircraft. Pictures from inside show the ammunition boxes and the oxygen bottles. Looking from the waist gunner positions behind the wings forward through the bomb bay you can see all the way to the bombardier’s seat. The walkway through the bomb bay was wider and less obstructed than on the B-17. I didn’t get into the nose of the B-24 where the Bombardier sat.
The B-24 was the plane that Jimmy Stewart flew during his time overseas in WWII. If you saw the movie “Unbroken,” Louis Zamperini was shot down over the Pacific in a B-24.
While inspecting the aircraft before we went on our flight in the B-17, we met a WWII veteran. James Connelly was there to take one last flight in a B-24, the same plane he flew in during WWII. During the war Connelly flew twelve missions before his B-24 was shot down over Germany. He then spent nine months in a German POW camp. Mr. Connelly was fascinating and I hope to talk to him again.
I got some pictures of the P-51 fighter as it sat on the runway ready to take off with a lucky passenger.
During WWII, the two bombers that carried the load in European air war for the Americans were the B-17 Flying Fortress and the B-24 Liberator. In my latest work-in-progress I am trying to decide which airplane my hero/navigator would have flown. My first thought was to use the B-17 since it seemed more glamorous, but with more research about both planes, I found that the Liberator was quite a plane, too. After all, Jimmy Stewart flew the B-24. How’s that for glamor?
Almost everyone has heard of the iconic B-17. When we think of bombers of that era, images come to mind of planes shot full of holes, with sections blown off and engines not functioning, yet landing safely on air fields in England. Those images are usually of B-17’s. Its crews loved the Flying Fortress because it took lots of damage and still brought them home.
Anyone remember the Memphis Belle? It was the first bomber that finished the required 25 missions in 1943. (Mission requirements were increased to 30 and then to 35 in 1944) Major William Wyler, the famous director and movie maker, as part of the First Motion Picture Unit of the US Army Air Forces, directed a film depicting the final flight of the Memphis Belle. The footage became the documentary “The Memphis Belle: A Story of a Flying Fortress.” As a morale booster for the Army and the folks back home, the crew, the plane and the movie toured the US selling war bonds and recruiting flyers for the Army Air Force. In 1990, Hollywood made a movie about that last flight, “The Memphis Belle.” Both films depict the lives of bomber crews in WWII and are well worth seeing.
But what about the B-24 Liberator? In researching accounts of WWII bomber crew members, I discovered that Jimmy Stewart (Yes! the movie star) flew combat missions over Europe in B-24’s. Starr Smith wrote in “Jimmy Stewart Bomber Pilot”about Jimmy enlisting before the war even started. He earned his wings and became an instructor flying B-17’s. Apparently the military feared Stewart would be harmed if sent overseas, which frustrated Stewart. Finally in 1943 his wish for combat duty came true with his assignment to the 445th Bomber Group, part of the Eighth Air Force. He quickly learned to fly the B-24 and within months received orders for England. Captain Stewart commanded the 703rd Squadron of the 445th Bomber Group and regularly flew combat missions. Promoted to Major and transferred to the 453rd Bomber Group as Operations Officer, Stewart continued to fly combat missions, including flying on D-Day (June 6, 1944). In July 1944, Lt. Colonel Stewart’s transfer to Second Combat Wing Headquarters severely limited his combat flying. In his twenty-three months overseas, Stewart flew 20 combat missions over Europe, all in B-24 Liberators.
Data for a head to head comparison of the B-17 and the B-24 can be found on several websites for anyone who likes statistics. One interesting difference I found was that the B-17 was slower than the B-24. The difference in speed meant that the two bombers could not fly in the same formations, although they were often sent on the same missions. But the B-17 could fly at higher altitudes. There is no doubt that the Flying Fortress crews and the Liberator crews each believed their plane the best and maintained an ongoing, good-natured rivalry.
Some believe that the B-17 got better press during the war and many thought it a better looking plane. It is definitely the one most people associate with WWII.
So, which plane will I use in my book? I haven’t decided. But I’m leaning toward the B-24 because it’s less known and because I have found some good books to use as reference material. Among them are: “A Reason To Live” by John Harold Robinson who flew as a gunner and engineer on a B-24; “Lucky Penny’s Tail” by Gregory J. Matenkoski recounting the story of Edmund Survilla, a tail gunner on a B-24; and “Jimmy Stewart Bomber Pilot” by Starr Smith.
For additional research, I plan to travel to Savannah, Georgia, to visit the Mighty Eighth Air Force Museum sometime in the near future. This museum should give me additional details and insight into the WWII air war. Wouldn’t I love to take a ride on one of those old planes? I’m watching for an opportunity. | aerospace |

The next launch attempt will be this Saturday, May 30.
American astronauts Robert Behnken and Douglas Hurley will be on the flight, and they will fly on “SpaceX’s Crew Dragon spacecraft, lifting off on a Falcon 9 rocket at 3:22 p.m. EDT May 30, from Launch Complex 39A in Florida, for an extended stay at the space station for the Demo-2 mission,” according to NASA’s website.
This mission is apart of NASA’s Commercial Crew Program which works with the aerospace industry as new spacecrafts and launch systems are developed to carry different crews. You can learn more about this program here. Click here to watch the launch live on Saturday!
“As the final flight test for SpaceX, this mission will validate the company’s crew transportation system, including the launch pad, rocket, spacecraft, and operational capabilities,” according to NASA. “This also will be the first time NASA astronauts will test the spacecraft systems in orbit.”
The length of the mission has yet to be determined. | aerospace |

At the study meeting held to discuss the ideal state of technical regulations related to safety, the bureau claimed that their hope is that the flight plans would be submitted at the same time as the tariffs and charges for charter flights. At present, the screening process of the approval of tariffs and charges for charter flights operated by Japanese airlines takes 3-4 days.
With regard to the flight plan of charter flights run by Japanese air carriers, the "20th day in the previous month" has become a crucial deadline in line with the standards for the inclusive travel charters (ITC) of passengers. As for sporadic deals, the CAB accepted applications within the permitted period, but the demand pertaining to the shortening of the approval period for flight plans still surfaced.
As for the approval of tariffs and charges for charter flight, it used to require about seven days of evaluation, but modifications to shorten that period by about half have been underway since the turn of fiscal 2011. The CBA expressed its intention to enable the submission of the flight plans of charter flight at the same time as the application for tariffs and charges.
"With regard to the sporadic charter flights by Japanese airlines, we want to flexibly cope with them within the feasible range henceforth. We also hope to consult with those concerned on a case-by-case basis," claimed an official of the CBA.
The application for the approval of charter flights by foreign capital-funded airline companies is currently 10 days prior to the flight.
Meanwhile, the CBA pointed out its intention to disseminate and thoroughly implement the non-necessity of advanced explanations about the service area and maintenance system in relation to the procedures accompanying charter flight operation by Japanese airlines. In this regard, the CBA claimed that, "Operators need to verify in advance the operation/maintenance system of the service area of charter flights. However, we do not require advanced reporting to the CBA, and in the future, we will thoroughly enforce the non-necessity of advanced reports by air carriers."
Some airline companies provide advanced explanations to the CBA on the operation/maintenance system of the service region when operating charter flights in accordance with their internal regulations. At the above study meeting, requests surfaced calling for the omission of the prior explanation when applying for charter flights.
Now the CBA noted that, "With regard to the appropriateness of the operation/maintenance system of the service region of charter flights, we will check this through audits, if deemed necessary." | aerospace |

During landing, left side wheel of the front pair of wheels had friction with a piece of sharp corrugated iron sheet and was cut slightly. Despite this, the aircraft landed safely without any casualties. After necessary repairing, the flight departed Chittagong again for Abu Dhabi at around 1230 am.
According to sources, the piece of tin (corrugated iron sheet) may have been on the runway due to the inclement weather derived from the incoming Cyclone “Mohasen” which is assumed to hit coastal area of Chittagong, Cox’s Bazar area this evening. | aerospace |

Breitling completes the golden era of the aviation with the TWA Edition in its Capsule Collection.
Celebrating the brand’s important role in the golden era of aviation and some of the most emblematic airlines of that time, Breitling has recently launched its first capsule collection – the Navitimer 1 Airlines Edition. The collection took off with Swissair, and the second airline to join the team was Pan Am. Now, these iconic carriers have been joined by TWA, whose aircraft were a familiar sight in the world’s skies throughout much of the twentieth century.
Breitling’s first capsule collection captures the spirit of a memorable time for the commercial flight and revives the cool and evocative style of the 1960s and 1970s. the Navitimer 1 Airline Editions pay an affectionate tribute to the pioneers of civil aviation and celebrate some of the most emblematic airlines of the era.
Breitling CEO Georges Kern says, “We are introducing these Airline Editions in a new capsule collection that will be produced for a limited time and consequently in a limited volume, but the watches are not numbered. With these capsule collections, Breitling aims to tell specific stories rooted in the history of its core collection. This distinguishes them from our limited editions, which will retain their original intent: to be limited to a small, fixed number of watches.”
Breitling Chief Marketing Officer, Tim Sayler also highlights the storytelling aspects of the capsule collection adding, “We are delighted that our first capsule collection underscores Breitling’s important role in aviation in the mid to late twentieth century – truly the golden era of commercial flight. The watches also focus on the young, cool design styles of the 1960s and 1970s, which are particularly relevant right now and have a huge influence on the current design trend.”
The three Navitimer 1 Airline Edition watches are powered by Breitling Manufacture Caliber 01. The in-house mechanical chronograph movement has been acclaimed as one of the world’s finest and delivers both remarkable precision and a power reserve of approximately 70 hours. All models feature a bidirectional rotating bezel fitted with the famous circular slide rule, which serves to perform the entire range of calculations relating to airborne navigation. Their distinctive straight hands give the watches a dynamic, contemporary interpretation of a classic look. This first Breitling capsule collection will be available from April 2019 at Breitling boutiques and official retailers for a limited period of time.
The Navitimer 1 B01 Chronograph 43 TWA Edition has a transparent sapphire caseback with the TWA logo printed on it. Trans World Airlines, which was based in the United States, was a familiar sight at the world’s major airports throughout most of the twentieth century. This stainless-steel watch has a silver dial, anthracite subdials, and a vintage-inspired brown leather strap or a stainless steel mesh bracelet. And, like the other editions in the capsule collection, which honour Swissair and Pan Am, it commemorates one of the airlines that played such an important role in the emergence of commercial flight in the twentieth century and which were largely responsible for introducing passenger aviation as we know it today.

SAMURAI BLUE refers to the Japanese national soccer team, and the aircraft (besides featuring SAMURAI BLUE the titles) will also feature an image depicting the Japanese national soccer team at the International Friendlies that were held last November.
SAMURAI BLUE Support Jet No. 1
The livery will be worn by JA8979 which will fly with the decals for the first time in late March – and will wear the modified livery until the end of September 2018.
Given that the aircraft is officially titled “SAMURAI BLUE Support Jet No. 1,” we can expect one more aircraft to receive similar markings. And, while “No.1” will be used on domestic routes – if history is anything to go by – we can expect “No. 2” to fly internationally.
The tradition of Japan Airlines supporting the Japanese national soccer team with a special livery started in 2002 (minor “special titles” were applied in previous years as well).
The first one that I photographed was the livery’s previous version – cheering the team during the 2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil. Unfortunately, that version didn’t feature images of the players (only small silhouettes) and so it wasn’t the best special livery out there.
With that in mind, I have to say that the upcoming version looks much better! At the very least, compared to its predecessor. | aerospace |

Departing from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre today 2 September 2023 at 11:50 IST, the mission promises to revolutionize our understanding of solar phenomena.
All systems were nominal during the entire launch process.
This marks India’s first focused endeavor to investigate the Sun’s outermost layer, the corona, and its magnetic behavior.
Earlier, Chandrayaan-3 made a successful soft landing on the lunar south pole, and now the successful launch of Aditya-L1 just days after is a major achievement for ISRO.
Aditya L1 is not just an orbital mission but an exploratory endeavor that aligns with global scientific pursuits to better understand the role of solar activity on the Earth’s climate and satellite functionality.
With advanced instruments like VELC and SUIT, the mission aims to decipher key mysteries surrounding solar activities, like magnetic fields and solar flares.
Aditya L1 will position itself at the L1 Lagrange point, enabling an uninterrupted view of the Sun, a first for Indian space exploration.
As the Sun is an immediate cosmic entity influencing various aspects of life on Earth, the insights from Aditya L1 could be transformative for multiple scientific disciplines, including astrophysics, climate science, and space technology.
What’s Next for Aditya-L1?
The spacecraft is fitted with groundbreaking instruments, such as the Visible Emission Line Coronagraph (VELC) and the Solar Ultraviolet Imaging Telescope (SUIT).
These are designed to measure key parameters like magnetic field variations, solar flare intensities, and characteristics of coronal mass ejections.
This will further our understanding of the Sun’s intricate processes that have far-reaching effects on our solar system.
Aditya-L1 spacecraft will now undergo complex maneuvers to position itself at the L1 Lagrange point.
This location allows for a stable gravitational relationship between the Earth and the Sun, providing an uninterrupted observational platform.
Once stationed, it will commence its mission phase, offering real-time data that will be invaluable for ongoing and future scientific research.
The mission’s successful launch places India into a league of select countries capable of solar observation and data collection at this scale.
With the successful launch of Aditya-L1 ISRO becomes the 3rd space agency to have a mission at the L1 point.
This will not only boost India’s image as a formidable player in space exploration but also offer avenues for international collaboration.
The data collected could play an essential role in preparing humanity for space weather events that can impact global communications and energy grids. | aerospace |

JUNKERS F 13 RELAUNCH
"It all started with the Junkers F 13. Allowed us to explore new worlds and broaden our horizons. It is time we bring her back to scale new heights and perspectives."
Dieter Morszeck - CEO, JUNKERS Flugzeugwerke AG
As a passionate private pilot Dieter Morszeck began his project to bring the Junkers F 13 back to life in 2013. The first hand-built prototype made its maiden flight in 2016; in January 2018 it was successfully certificated as a transport aircraft. At the same time "JUNKERS Flugzeugwerke AG" was founded in Duebendorf, Switzerland. To recognize the 100-year-anniversary of the Junkers F 13’s first flight custom aircraft production delivery is slated in 2019.
Through the efforts of JUNKERS Flugzeugwerke AG in Dübendorf, Switzerland, the Junkers F 13 has made a comeback, combining tradition with modern technologies. It's capable of long-range flights, while providing the experience of a long-gone era of air transport.
Upon its introduction in 1919, the Junkers F 13's all-metal construction was revolutionary. Over 300 units of this unique design were built between 1919 and 1930.
The construction of the replica required rediscovery of long-forgotten construction techniques, particularly with regard to corrugated sheet metal. Supervised by the Swiss Federal Office of Air Transportation (BAZL), our engineers and aircraft builders gradually were able to bring a piece of aviation history back to life.
The Junkers F 13 accommodates two pilots and four passengers.
Since many of the original drawings and construction plans were no longer available, one of the very few original Junkers F 13s still in existence was measured accurately using laser technology.
The Junkers F 13 replica completed in 2016 has the typical Junkers “corrugated” look, and is held together by over 35.000 individual rivets, each installed by hand.
Compromises with modern technology were made in only a few areas.
The search for a readily available, reliable, and easily maintainable powerplant resulted in the decision to install a nine-cylinder Pratt & Whitney radial engine rated at 450 horsepower.
In addition to traditional flight and engine instruments, the standard equipment of the new Junkers F 13 includes modern communication and navigation radios, an ATC transponder and an engine monitor. | aerospace |

Future CEV launch?
From Billmon, a highly interesting bit of news from the February 2001 issue of Petroleum News that could explain NASA’s inexplicable timorousness over the “Martian mud”, the seeming death of robotic exploration and the on-the-cheap look of the recycled human exploration technology:
Dr. Geoffrey Briggs, director, Center for Mars Exploration at the NASA Ames Center, told “Meet Alaska”… NASA has been working with Halliburton, Shell, Baker-Hughes and the Los Alamos National Laboratory to identify drilling technologies that might work on Mars…The earliest drilling opportunity would be 2007…a 2014 Mars mission…would put astronauts on the planet to assist [drilling]… Halliburton and Baker-Hughes are working on some very advanced systems, Briggs said, some so advanced they aren’t willing to talk much about them.
From a January 10th posting on MarsNews.com:
The Crew Exploration Vehicle (CEV), will take the shape of a capsule, and become the central component of future Moon/Mars exploration hardware. The first test flights of the CEV may occur as soon as 2007.
The CEV will initially be launched aboard a man-rated version of one of the Evolved Expendable Launch Vehicles, the Boeing Delta 4 or Lockheed Martin Atlas 5.
Regarding NASA’s highly successful robotic planetary explorations, the MarsNews.com story continues:
NASA will also be directed to fold in any robotic exploration programs to the new efforts.
Look for Halliburton to advance the idea of low paid Bangladeshi crewed exploration in the closet-sized vehicles!

He is a strong supporter of a well-trained, well-equipped military to defend our freedoms and keep America safe.
As a member of the Homeland Security Committee and the Air Force Caucus, Jon has a record of strengthening America’s borders, Malmstrom Air Force Base in Great Falls, and the Montana Air National Guard.
Jon recently got the Pentagon to keep MANG’s F-15 mission in Great Falls through the end of 2013. He also secured a new C-130 cargo mission to replace the F-15s if they leave.
A longtime opponent of the Patriot Act and the federal REAL ID Program, Jon also believes that effectively defending America can happen without invading privacy or trampling on constitutional rights.
He also believes that living up to the promises made to America’s veterans is a cost of war that should never be ignored. That’s why Jon is a champion for America’s veterans. | aerospace |

There was no need on our part to inform anyone – Air Malta were doing a pretty good job there, and it is not really our role to speculate on internal politics (or propensity to sickness!) at Air Malta.
However, the recent statement by Air Malta on the subject is extremely interesting, and I think says a lot (without saying a lot).
We set out the key paragraphs below:
For the sake of record, Air Malta can confirm that 17 pilots were on sick leave when normally we would expect an average of between two and four pilots to report sick.
Only the ALPA [Malta pilots’ union] Executive Committee and pilots involved know what control each had over the unfortunate spike in crew sickness. Had ALPA chosen to encourage their healthy members to help crew flights, then less passengers would have been disrupted.
Air Malta remains committed to develop a positive working environment with our pilots and ALPA at all times.
We leave you to make your own conclusions.
Whatever the exact reasons and motivations here, the sad truth is that this episode has inconvenienced passengers, cost Air Malta a huge amount of money (that it cannot afford), and dented its reputation. It is not our place to point fingers, but it is very much hoped that similar scenarios can be avoided in future, and indeed it is essential if Air Malta is to survive. | aerospace |

Japan, for its part, is “paying attention” to a Chinese aircraft carrier, which was spotted heading to the Western Pacific on Sunday, the country’s top government spokesman said Monday, calling the movement “a show of expansion of the abilities of China’s naval forces.”
The aircraft carrier Liaoning was part of a fleet that was spotted sailing in the East China Sea by a Japanese defense force destroyer and airplane, about 110 kilometers northeast of the Japanese island of Miyako at around 10 a.m. Sunday, Yoshihide Suga said at a press conference.
It marks the first time the Maritime Self-Defense Force confirmed a Chinese aircraft carrier advancing toward the Pacific Ocean, the chief Cabinet secretary said, adding that the Japanese government will continue to monitor carefully the movements of Chinese ships sailing in waters around Japan.
FLEXING MILITARY MUSCLE
The test comes as the nation flexes its military muscles, sending its sole aircraft carrier the Liaoning into the western Pacific in recent days to lead drills there for the first time.
The newest version of the J-31 – now renamed the FC-31 Gyrfalcon – took to the air for the first time Friday, the China Daily reported.
The so-called ‘’fifth-generation’’ twin-engine jet is China’s answer to the US F-35, the world’s most technically advanced fighter.
The new FC-31 has “better stealth capabilities, improved electronic equipment and a larger payload capacity’’ than the previous version which debuted in October, 2012, the newspaper said, quoting aviation expert Wu Peixin.
“Changes were made to the airframe, wings and vertical tails which make it leaner, lighter and more maneuverable,’’ Wu told the paper.
The jet is manufactured by Shenyang Aircraft Corp., a subsidiary of the Aviation Industry Corp of China (AVIC).
The fighter is expected to sell for around $70 million, the article said, aiming to take market share away from more expensive fourth-generation fighters like the Eurofighter Typhoon.
AVIC has said that the FC-31 will ‘’put an end to some nations’ monopolies on the fifth-generation fighter jet,’’ the China Daily reported.
China is aggressively moving to develop its domestic weapons industry, from drones and anti-aircraft systems to homegrown jet engines.
In the past it has been accused of copying designs from Russian fighters, and some analysts say the FC-31 bears a close resemblance to the F-35. | aerospace |

Watching the early astronauts like Alan Shepard, John Glenn, and Neil Armstrong blasting off into space made him want to follow in their footsteps. And thirty three years later he would do exactly that.
Don started his professional career as a Senior Member of the Technical Staff at the Bell Laboratory’s Engineering Research Center in Princeton, NJ working on materials issues in semiconductor devices. From there he joined Lockheed Sciences and Engineering in Houston, TX as an engineer working on the Space Shuttle program.
Selected as a mission specialist astronaut in NASA’s 13th group of astronauts in 1990, he is a veteran of four Space Shuttle missions, three aboard Columbia and one aboard Discovery. He has spent 44 days in space completing nearly 700 orbits of the Earth and traveling 17.6 million miles in the process. Today he is the director of the Hackerman Academy of Mathematics and Science at Towson University working to encourage and inspire young students to follow in his footsteps to become our next generation of scientists, engineers, astronauts, and explorers.

Center's Aviation Heritage
Center, Texas, was the location of the first aircraft manufacturer in the State of Texas. States Aircraft Corporation was the first incorporated aircraft manufacturer by the State of Texas on September 8, 1933. They constructed a small aircraft which was considered a good plane for its price. States received a contract from the Chinese government to construct "pursuit" planes and also placed a bid to construct bomber aircraft for the French government during World War II. Eventually, the company closed sometime following WWII. | aerospace |

Based on the Fury biplane and designed by Sydney Camm as a monoplane fighter, the Hurricane was first flown on November 6th, 1935. With its wide-set landing gear, easy handling, reliability, and stable gun platform, the Hurricane was suitable for a variety of different roles such as intruder, ground strafing and night fighter. Steel-tube construction meant cannon shells could pass right through the wood and fabric covering without exploding. The Hurricane underwent many modifications during its lifetime, including an upgraded Merlin engine and interchangeable multi-purpose wings, staging twelve 7.7mm guns and two 40mm anti-tank guns and carrying two 500lb bombs. | aerospace |

Over a 90-minute span [on the night of July 15th], 12 pilots, including one flying for Toronto’s Porter Airlines, reported being hit by lasers as they flew over New Jersey.
Though no injuries were reported, the American Federal Aviation Administration said the event wasn’t isolated.

Jeff Bezos is going to launch his girlfriend into space, and that’s not an old-timey, Honeymooners-esque joke.
It would be if anyone else said it, but he owns rockets so it’s actually true.
Bezos and his girlfriend, journalist Lauren Sanchez sat down with CNN for their first joint interview, which is a big step in any relationship.
They said what anyone would say if they had to talk about their relationship on national TV. Stuff like “We’re really great teammates” and “We bring each other energy.”
Then they talked about something most couples can’t take about: their space travel plans.
Jeff Bezos is of course the founder of Blue Origin, the space agency known for their phallically-shaped spacecraft and the time he sent William Shatner into space, then sprayed Champagne in the Star Trek legend’s face while he tried to articulate what a life-changing experience it was.
Now, Sanchez says she has plans to travel to space with “great group of females” at some point in 2023.
However, don’t be fooled. Sanchez is a licensed pilot and founded Black Ops Aviation, an aerial film and production company.
This is to say she’s not scared of flying, and every bit as qualified to go to space as her beau, the richest man in the world who doesn’t own Twitter.
In fact, Sanchez even judges Bezos’ helicopter flying.
“I’ve also learned how to fly the helicopter,” Bezos said “And she’s a horrible backseat pilot. She’s terrible!”
Sure sounds like trouble in paradise to me.
The two also discussed Bezos’ plan to give away most of his wealth during his lifetime. However, he said he didn’t have a plan for how to go about doing that.

It was an important weekend in Ukrainian-Norwegian relations! On Saturday SAS started their first flight to Kyiv from Gardermoen airport in Oslo. Airport operator Avinor warmly welcomed passengers with smiles, cake and refreshments. The passengers started their journey with opening remarks from Ukrainian Ambassador to Norway Mr. Viacheslav Yatsiuk, Norwegian Ambassador to Ukraine Mr. Ole Terje Horpestad, CFO in SAS Mr. Torbjørn Wist and Director Cargo at Avinor Mr. Martin Langaas.
The opening remarks stressed the importance of direct flights and in particular it’s contribution to increased trade, cultural exchange and bilateral interaction. We couldn’t agree more! This direct flight will help put Norwegian and Ukrainian people closer together and simplify interaction.
The route’s target audience have seemingly already embraced it as the inaugural flight was practically full, with just a handful seats available. Taking into account the Saturday morning flight schedule this spell good fortune.
Torbjørn Wist from SAS brought additional good news, informing at the ceremony that due to good booking numbers SAS has already decided to expand the route from summer 2020 to Christmas 2020, and that by autumn 2020 they will put their new Airbus Neo aircraft on the route Oslo-Kyiv-Oslo, the most environmentally friendly commercial aircraft to date.
We welcome the decision of SAS to expand the route and hope to see many NUCC members and friends on the upcoming flights on Saturdays, Tuesdays and Thursdays.

Zentek Ltd. (“ZEN” or the “Company”) (TSX-V:ZEN and OTC:ZENYF), a Canadian, IP development and commercialization company focused on next-gen healthcare solutions, announces the development of a new, patent-pending, carbon-based, nanotechnology-enhanced coating designed to prevent ice accretion.
During the testing process with a 3rd party lab, various coatings were tested for adhesion strength as measured by pressure in kilopascals (kPa) required to dislodge ice from the surface. ZEN’s coating demonstrated an adhesion strength consistently around 20 kPa, a significant improvement over the current commercial products. For comparison, the ice adhesion strength of a bare aluminum alloy is ~500 kPa while to be classified as icephobic, adhesive strength must be less than 100 kPa. ZEN’s preliminary results have demonstrated a 96% improvement over aluminum and 80% improvement over the 100 kPa threshold. This winter, ZEN’s coating will be included in flight testing on a specially equipped research aircraft under real world ice-forming weather conditions by this same 3rd party. ZEN will also test the feasibility of this coating as an effective passive means to de-ice drone propellers in flight to permit all-weather operations. If successful, this would permit safer drone operations in substantially more challenging weather conditions.
“We continue to actively develop new nanotechnology-enabled applications in high-impact areas, which, in this case, has the potential to significantly increase safety for vehicles such as drones, aircraft, ocean vessels, wind turbines and other applications where, in cold weather climates, there is the potential for ice to accrete on surfaces, causing hazardous breakdowns in function,” commented Greg Fenton, ZEN CEO. “Our mission continues to be to develop innovative nanotechnologies that improve people’s lives – and while our focus is primarily on nanotechnology-enabled healthcare solutions – we are also making breakthroughs that substantially contribute in other industries that may result in vital steps forward to ensure public safety and enhance sustainability.”
Previous research has shown that while certain coatings may demonstrate the prevention of ice adhesion, they have been limited to a laboratory environment and questions remain about the durability necessary for them to be considered a practical application as an aircraft ice protection system (IPS). The development of a nanotechnology-enhanced coating with dispersed graphene may have the potential to address this through the enhancement of the bulk mechanical properties. On August 9, 2021, ZEN filed a provisional patent on this technology with the United States Patent and Trademark Office.
The Company has begun to explore partnership opportunities and will communicate progress as appropriate.

The confirmation was made by Chief of Defence Staff (CDS) Major General Lucky Irabor.
The aircraft came down under enemy fire from bandits.
It was gathered that the Alpha Jet which was on an ‘interdiction mission’ to flush out bandits in the forest bordering Kaduna and Zamfara States, came under heavy attack from the criminals leading to its crash.
In a statement by the Director of Public Relations and Information of the NAF, Air Commodore Edward Gabkwet, on Monday and made available to Ripples Nigeria, the pilot of the ill-fated jet, Flight Lieutenant Abayomi Dairo, managed to escape from the crashed jet and the ground attacks from the bandits and made his way to a military camp where he was rescued.
The statement signed by Gabkwet reads:
“On 18 July 2021, at about 12.45 pm, a Nigerian Air Force (NAF) Alpha Jet aircraft, returning from a successful air interdiction mission between the boundaries of Zamfara and Kaduna State, came under intense enemy fire which led to its crash in Zamfara State.
“Luckily, the gallant pilot of the aircraft, Flight Lieutenant Abayomi Dairo, successfully ejected from the aircraft.
“Using his survival instincts, the pilot, who came under intense ground fire from the bandits, was able to evade them and sought refuge in nearby settlements awaiting sunset.
“Using the cover of darkness and his phone set for navigation, Flight Lieutenant Dairo was able to elude several bandits’ strongholds and maneuvered his way to a Nigerian Army Unit, where he was finally rescued.
“It is instructive to note that upon receipt of the news of the crash, the Chief of Air Staff, Air Marshal Oladayo Amao, had directed that all efforts must be emplaced to rescue the pilot.
“Accordingly, NAF Intelligence Surveillance Reconnaissance (ISR) platforms and helicopter gunships provided close air support to NAF Special Forces and Nigerian Army troops who were able to locate the crash site and the pilot’s parachute, while also combing nearby locations for any sign of the pilot.
“It is gladdening to note that while in hiding, Flight Lieutenant Dairo confirmed that the presence of NAF aircraft within the vicinity of the crash site helped in scaring the bandits who were after him, thus enabling him to find refuge and escape to a safe location.
“It is important to also recall that only recently, the President, Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, President Muhammadu Buhari, GCFR, had directed the Armed Forces of Nigeria to do all it takes to flush out criminal elements in Katsina, Zamfara and the Kaduna States.
“It is in fulfillment of this directive that the NAF, in conjunction with surface forces, has in the last 2 weeks, mounted intensive day and night air interdiction operations against bandits and their hideouts, especially in these 3 states.
“Through these intensive air operations, hundreds of bandits have been neutralized and several of their hideouts destroyed.
“Despite the setback of yesterday’s crash, the NAF remains committed to fulfilling Mr. President’s mandate as well as other constitutional roles assigned to it.
“The willingness, readiness and tested ability of the NAF remain unshaken and unwavering as it continues to carry out its assigned roles”, the statement read.

On Tuesday, The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) determined that the July 3, 2015, crash in Frisco stemmed from a pre-flight check in which the pilot, Patrick Mahany, turned off a switch that cut hydraulic pressure to the tail rotor.
Mahany, 64, probably did not turn the switch back on and did not complete a “hover check” while taking off, which would have identified the problem at an altitude that could have allowed for a safe landing, according to the NTSB report.
The Flight For Life helicopter reached an altitude of about 100 feet before the pilot lost control. The helicopter went down and immediately burst into flames next to the St. Anthony Summit Medical Center, killing Mahany and critically injuring flight paramedic David Repsher and flight nurse Matthew Bowe.
Video of the crash showed the helicopter lifting off and then twisting to the left before rotating several times and crashing into a recreational vehicle near the helipad.
The NTSB report says investigators found several safety issues that, if addressed, could have prevented the crash.
The two stand-out issues are:
- Lack of a cockpit warning to alert the pilot of the hydraulic problem.
- The helicopter was not equipped with a crash-resistant fuel system.
If not for these two issues, it is believed the medical helicopter crash would have been survivable.
Federal investigators highlighted that, going forward, the type of Airbus helicopter involved in the crash must have better crash protections, including spill-resistant fuel tanks.
Additional information supporting the conclusion the aircraft design contributed to the severity of injuries in this crash is here.

Client: NAVFAC Southeast
Location: Naval Station Mayport, FL
This project called for installation of an aircraft (helicopter) direct fueling system (design by U.S. Navy) to replace the existing system of using tactical refueler trucks on the aircraft parking apron for helicopter refueling. The direct fueling system is based on a pressurized, recirculating fueling system, including fuel return piping from the single aircraft direct fueling station (pantograph) location to two operating tanks. Two existing 15,000-gallon JP5 aboveground storage tanks were modified to support the new system. Refueling control valves, fueling station meter, fueling station venturi, swivel joints, fueling hose, pressure gauges, fittings, and pantograph sections were installed to encompass the complete system. Fueling pumps and filters / separators were installed near the existing fuel storage tanks. Underground fuel lines were installed under the aircraft parking apron in an underground casement pipe. All underground piping was installed by horizontal directional drilling methods without disturbance of the active aircraft apron. | aerospace |

The One Man Drone Project
OneManDrone is a dedicated platform with a team of international experts to develop a drone for use in the ultra-light recreational aviation sector. This sector is called experimental aircraft in the USA (Amateur-built, Kit-built, or Light-sport Aircraft). This is the first step.
We have already built a larger craft to carry 100 kg for the rescue sector, it can carry injured persons. It flies for 15 min per charge. We did test it with a suboptimal battery pack and 25 min could be done on batteries only. The drone was designed and built by us and demonstrated by the owner to the military.
The second step is to prepare for the personal 3D transport that is foreseen to become available in the mid-term future. The UBER 3D transport paper shows how this will materialize in the USA and we think it will be a global trend. So the aim is to work on a 3D commuter multicopter that can carry a person and travel for a distance of ca 200 to 300 km. We have already achieved a number of subgoals to this aim:
• A proof of concept that flew with a payload of 85 kg. This was to demo the idea being possible, in summer of 2015.
• We build a larger craft to carry 100 kg for the rescue sector, it can carry injured persons. It flies for 15 min per charge. We did test it with a suboptimal battery pack and 25 min could be done on batteries only.
• The next part is in the range extender we are currently testing. This should allow for a 1.5 hrs flight.
For the science part, we work together with universities in Netherlands and Germany and have contacts on scientific level in China and USA.
For the production part, we work together with some strong (international) partners in brushless motors, rotors, CF beams, batteries, and controller technology.
Finally, we are engaged in projects that move the 3D commuting for cities.
The drone shown is the one we have tested. It is the backbone of the onemandrone project.
Based on the extensive expertise developed in our team on mega drones, we can design customized commuting drones. We invite you to come and discuss with you the type of commuting drone you would like to see. | aerospace |
