- Date of Release:
The latest accepted magazine or book date for the published
design *, or the release of a kit will be January 1, 1980.
If the kit or published design had several release dates that
included modifications to the design, only those prior to
January 1, 1980 will be accepted.
Models that have been kitted, but where there is no date on
the plan or on the instructions, an advertisement in a dated
magazine or book can be used for dating of the design.
If the plan used for construction and
documentation was published in a book or magazine, all of the
parts of the plane must be scaleable and buildable from the
plan. the aircraft construction must be detailed, and not just a
3-view. this is especially important for the shape of the
airfoil if it is not from a published set of coordinates.
- Airframe Requirements:
- Items that Must Duplicate the Original:
- The plane must replicate the original styling and
appearance and comply with the vision of the Nostalgia event
(Vision is stated under Special Items).
- Airfoil, flying surfaces plan forms, moments and surface
- Fuselage form or styling in outlines both in side and plan
- Basic construction... i.e. open bay wing structure, wood
vs. FRP etc.
- Items that Can Deviate from the Original:
- Control surfaces... if desired, on a plane with no glide
control capability, spoilers may be added to the upper wing
surface as long as the plans do not call for any other glide
control device. If the plans have a glide control system, it
must be the one used and shall not be deviated from.
If spoilers are added, they must be designed to minimize
the affect on the styling of the original aircraft. (An
example would be on an open structure wing; the spoiler system
must be of minimal dimensions including the area around the
spoiler bay used to attach the covering.)
- Any interior, non-visible, structural modifications to
enable the plane to handle modern launch equipment and
techniques... some examples:
- Substitute spruce for
- CF reinforcements
- Larger joiner rods
Stronger tow hook systems
- Wing incidence and decalage
- Wing mounting (bolt on vs. rubber bands)
- Removable or bolt on stabs rather than permanent stabs as
long as the assembled position replicates the original and the
visible architecture is unchanged.
- Dihedral (either tips or center or both) can be modified a
maximum of 25% of the original for personal handling
- Special Items:
- Radios can be of any type legal to operate and electronic
mixing is allowable on any set of surfaces.
- The use of landing arrestor devices is prohibited. this
does not eliminate the use of a smooth surface skid to protect
the bottom landing-surface of the aircraft from scratches and
- The CD will have the final vote on legality on any item
not covered in this document.
Bear in mind that the vision of the event is to duplicate the
spirit of the old days in styling and form of aircraft and flying
capability of said aircraft and only those changes consistent with
launch and landing safety will be allowed.
The final proof of legality of the design for this event lies
with the contestant. (Having an original set of plans would be the
optimum way to settle any questions.) | aerospace |

If you can get to Moscow by train, then Central America would have to fly three planes. From childhood I was swayed even in the car, and I was a little worried about how I would feel in flight. However, fears were in vain. Together
With Condor, we have successfully covered a huge distance. On board the German airliners are very comfortable and calm.
(click on photo to enlarge)
The plane took off from Moscow at night. Russia from the porthole was remembered by the bright lights of cities, gradually dissolving in the dark. And over Europe, we flew during the day and saw a variety of landscapes from the window. The most unforgettable impression on me was made by clouds, similar to the majestic mountain ranges.
When flying across the Atlantic Ocean on the back of the seat in front of us, a tablet with a map of our flight in real time was turned on. It is interesting to observe how the plane
on the screen, slowly but surely approaching the cherished goal.
I liked flying! I think airplanes expand the boundaries that exist
in our mind. But the distance between countries and continents is not so big
as it seems. And you can fly wherever you want without any problems. After all, even from Russia to Costa Rica to fly only 16 hours! | aerospace |

In findings released Friday, an Institute of Medicine committee “emphatically” refutes a recurrent argument made by the U.S. Air Force and Department of Veteran Affairs that any carcinogenic dioxin or other components of Agent Orange contaminating its fleet of C-123 cargo planes would have been “dried residues” and therefore unlikely to pose any meaningful exposure risks to the 1,500 to 2,100 Air Force Reserve personnel who served aboard the planes between 1972 and 1982.
That contention has been the basis for the VA’s denial of benefits to sick veterans, and remains reflected on the agency’s website today. But in the new report, the committee states “with confidence” that these dried residues in fact could have posed dangers: the Air Force Reservists “were exposed,”…

The probe reportedly landed in the South Pole-Aitken basin, the oldest, largest, and deepest crater on the moon’s surface. The moon’s dark side remains largely unexplored because its position shields it from radio frequencies, preventing direct contact with the Earth. To solve that problem, China launched the relay satellite Queqiao earlier this year to transmit signals from the dark side.
Chang’e 4 will perform several experiments while on the moon, including testing whether plants will grow in the low gravity environment, exploring the poles to find water or other resources, observing the interaction between solar winds and the lunar surface, and conducting the first lunar low-frequency radio astronomy experiment. | aerospace |

In the realm of aviation, the term “Top Guns” conjures images of elite pilots, cutting-edge technology, and the adrenaline-fueled world of aerial combat. These skilled aviators represent the pinnacle of proficiency, embodying the spirit of daring and excellence in the skies. In this article, we delve into the fascinating world of Top Guns, exploring their history, training, and the remarkable aircraft that have defined their legacy.
The Legacy of Top Guns:
The term “Top Gun” originated from the United States Navy Fighter Weapons School, established in 1969 to enhance the skills of naval aviators. Over time, the designation beretta a300 patrol for sale expanded beyond the institution itself to refer to any elite pilot who demonstrated exceptional flying and combat abilities. These individuals are the cream of the crop, often selected to fly the most advanced and sophisticated aircraft in the world.
Becoming a Top Gun requires rigorous training that pushes pilots to their limits. The training programs focus on aerial combat, dogfighting tactics, and mastering the capabilities of high-performance aircraft. Simulated exercises recreate real-world scenarios, challenging pilots to make split-second decisions in the heat of battle. The goal is to hone their skills to perfection, ensuring they can outmaneuver and outsmart any potential adversary.
Top Guns are synonymous with the most advanced and powerful aircraft ever created. From the iconic F-14 Tomcat to the stealthy F-22 Raptor and the futuristic F-35 Lightning II, these aviators command state-of-the-art machines designed for air superiority. These aircraft are equipped with cutting-edge radar systems, precision-guided munitions, and unparalleled maneuverability, allowing Top Guns to dominate the skies with unmatched agility and lethality.
Mavericks and Icemen:
The world of Top Guns has been immortalized in popular culture, thanks in part to Hollywood blockbuster films like “Top Gun.” These movies have given us iconic characters like Maverick and Iceman, played by Tom Cruise and Val Kilmer, respectively. While these characters are fictional, they capture the essence of the competitive and high-stakes world that Top Guns inhabit.
Top Guns are not limited to a single nation; elite fighter pilots can be found in air forces around the world. From the United States Air Force to the Royal Air Force, and beyond, these individuals play a crucial role in national defense, showcasing their skills at airshows and participating in joint exercises to foster international collaboration.
The world of Top Guns is one of skill, precision, and the relentless pursuit of excellence in the skies. These elite pilots, armed with cutting-edge technology and honed through rigorous training, stand as a testament to human ingenuity and determination. As we continue to push the boundaries of aviation, the legacy of Top Guns remains a symbol | aerospace |

NEW MEXICO FILM FOUNDATION AND LOCKHEED MARTIN CONTEST WINNER WILL PREMIERE “DELIVERY FROM EARTH”
SANTA FE, New Mexico, April 16, 2015 – Michael Becker, the winner of a New Mexico Film Foundation and Lockheed Martin-sponsored film competition will debut his short film, “Delivery from Earth,” about the first human born on another planet, during an event at the Jean Cocteau Cinema. Following the premiere, Keith Gardner, the chief of staff for New Mexico State Governor, Susana Martinez, will be presented with the New Mexico state flag that recently flew on the Orion spacecraft’s first test flight in December 2014.
In collaboration with the New Mexico Film Foundation, Lockheed Martin created a $5,000 filmmaker grant to encourage independent film makers in New Mexico to create a short film about deep space exploration. This contest is part of an ongoing effort by NASA and the aerospace industry to expose nontraditional audiences across the country to NASA’s human spaceflight efforts.
WHEN: Wednesday, April 22, 2015 from 1:30p.m.—3:00p.m. MST
WHERE: Jean Cocteau Theater, Santa Fe, New Mexico
WHO: Larry Price, Lockheed Martin Orion deputy program manager, Keith Gardner, chief of staff for New Mexico State Governor Susana Martinez, Dirk Norris, New Mexico Film Foundation chief executive officer, and Michael Becker, film contest winner
Media will have the opportunity to watch the film premiere, learn about the Orion spacecraft and NASA’s journey to Mars, and ask questions.
Orion is NASA’s first spacecraft designed for long-duration, human-rated deep space exploration. Orion will transport humans to interplanetary destinations beyond low Earth orbit, such as asteroids, the moon and eventually Mars, and return them safely back to Earth.

In addition, we participated in the investigation of aviation accidents like Lufthansa Airbus A320 and LOT's B767 at Okecie airport in 1993, the helicopter PZL W-3 Sokol in the Tatra Mountains in 1994, and we supported with our resources, assistance and facilities the Main Aircraft Accident Investigation Commission. Several times we took a part on behalf of the Polish government in the International Civil Aviation Organization ICAO in Montreal during the works of flight recorders panel. Our current trade as the company OKAEL Ltd. Co. is still black boxes and their derivatives, and what you can bring with them, so either after an accident or to prevent accidents. The principles and objectives of the analyzes performed by us are contained in the publication, which was prepared for the Third Polish Conference of Avionics - Waplewo, 2001.
Participation in projects, teams, conferencesChronicle:
1988 - Our history started after the crash of Ilyushin Il-62M SP-LBG, which occurred on May 9, 1987 in Kabaty. Government commission's report contained a number of recommendations, in this point. 2: "Improve the work of Flight Data Analysis Team (named OKL) in LOT Polish Airlines through its computerization and the involvement of experts in the field of pilotage and navigation, as well as improving its organizational structure.
1989 - Start of cooperation with the ATM company, which supported the hardware and software for flight data analysis. LOT's' aircrafts of Soviet's manufacturers and the first B767 were equipped with recorders type of QAR, and FDS program (Flight Data Service) served in their processing. Both ATM products were the basis of our work for nearly 24 years.
1990 - Development and production by ATM and testing by the OKL of new hardware and software based on the standard ARINC.

More remarkable discovers from Cassini are expected when it repeatedly dives between the innermost ring and the top of Saturn’s atmosphere during its final six months starting this week. The first of the spaceship’s 22 deep, daring dives is scheduled for April 26 at 2:00am PDT.
When Cassini passed close by Titan on April 22, the moon’s gravity pulled strongly on the spacecraft. The flyby gave Cassini a change in velocity of about 800 meters per second that started the spacecraft on its first of the ring-gap orbits.
A grand finale dive will plunge Cassini into Saturn’s atmosphere on September 15th, vaporizing the spacecraft to protect tiny Enceladus, one of Saturn’s ocean worlds, from hardy Earth-based microbes that may have stowed-away on Cassini.
The Cassini mission’s findings have revolutionized our understanding of Saturn, its complex rings, the amazing assortment of moons and the planet’s dynamic magnetic environment. The robotic spacecraft arrived in 2004 after a 7-year flight from Earth, dropped a parachuted probe named Huygens to study the atmosphere and surface of Saturn’s big moon Titan. Some of the mission highlights include:
- The Huygens probe makes first landing on a moon in the outer solar system (Titan)
- The discovery of active, icy plumes on the Saturnian moon Enceladus
- Saturn’s rings revealed as active and dynamic — a laboratory for how planets form
- First complete view of the north polar hexagon and discovery of giant hurricanes at both of Saturn’s poles
- First Deep Seafloor Hydrothermal Vents Found Beyond Earth
The Cassini mission is a cooperative undertaking by NASA, the European Space Agency (ESA), and the Italian space agency Agenzia Spaziale Italiana (ASI). | aerospace |

This intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) strengthens India's position as a major space power and bolsters its deterrence capability. This blog delves into the Agni-V program, exploring its technical specifications, estimated cost, strategic importance, and the role of Bharat Dynamics Limited (BDL) in its development.
About the Agni-V missile
The Agni-V, meaning "Fire" in Sanskrit, is a three-stage, solid-fueled intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) developed by the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) of India. Here's a breakdown of its key features:
- Range: With a range exceeding 7,000 kilometres (according to some estimates, even reaching 8,000 kilometres), Agni-V can potentially strike targets across most of Asia and parts of Europe. This extended range brings most of China within its firing radius, significantly enhancing India's deterrence capabilities.
- Accuracy: The Agni-V boasts a high degree of accuracy thanks to its advanced navigation systems, including a Ring Laser Gyroscope Inertial Navigation System (RLG INS) likely supplemented by GPS/NAVIC satellite guidance. This precision targeting capability strengthens the missile's effectiveness.
- Mobility: Unlike some earlier Agni series missiles, Agni-V is canisterised and road-mobile, meaning it can be launched from mobile launchers, increasing its operational flexibility and survivability in a potential conflict.
- Warhead Capability: The Agni-V is designed to carry a variety of payloads, including nuclear warheads, conventional high-explosive warheads, or even cluster munitions. This multi-role capability adds another layer of strategic flexibility to the missile system.
Agni-V development and cost estimates
The Agni-V program represents years of dedicated research and development efforts by DRDO scientists and engineers. While the exact cost of the program is not publicly disclosed, estimates suggest it could be in the range of several billion rupees. This investment reflects India's commitment to developing a robust and credible minimum nuclear deterrence posture.
Strategic significance of Agni-V
The successful testing of Agni-V carries immense strategic importance for India:
- Enhanced Deterrence: The extended range of Agni-V strengthens India's ability to retaliate against potential adversaries in a potential conflict. This credible deterrence capability can discourage aggressive military actions against India.
- Credibility as a Major Power: The successful development and testing of advanced ballistic missile systems like Agni-V project India's image as a major power on the global stage, with sophisticated technological capabilities.
- Technological Advancement: The Agni-V program has fostered significant advancements in Indian missile technology. It has spurred innovation in areas like solid-fuel propulsion, guidance systems, and high-precision targeting, which can benefit other Indian missile programs.
- Self-Reliance in Defense: India's reliance on foreign powers for defence equipment has significantly reduced in recent years. The development of Agni-V is a testament to India's growing self-reliance in its defence needs.
Bharat Dynamics Limited: the manufacturer
While DRDO spearheaded the Agni-V program's design and development, several Indian defence organisations played crucial roles. One key player is Bharat Dynamics Limited (BDL).
About Bharat Dynamics Limited
Established in 1970, BDL is a public sector undertaking under the Ministry of Defence. It is India's leading manufacturer of missiles, ammunition, and explosives for the Indian Armed Forces. BDL's contributions to the Agni-V program likely include:
- Development and production of critical sub-systems: BDL might have manufactured and supplied specific components or subsystems for the Agni-V missile, such as control systems, propulsion elements, or guidance systems.
- Participation in testing and evaluation: BDL's expertise in ammunition and explosives might have been valuable during the testing and evaluation phases of the Agni-V program.
- Collaboration with DRDO: BDL likely collaborated closely with DRDO scientists and engineers throughout the development process, contributing its manufacturing expertise and experience.
BDL's involvement in the Agni-V program exemplifies the collaborative effort within India's defence sector. By leveraging the expertise of various organisations, India can achieve significant advancements in its strategic missile capabilities.
The road ahead
The successful test of Agni-V marks a significant milestone, but India's missile development program continues to evolve. Future advancements might include:
- MIRV technology: Equipping Agni-V with Multiple Independently Re-entry Vehicle (MIRV) technology would allow it to carry and deploy multiple warheads from a single launch, further enhancing its destructive potential.
- Increased Range and Accuracy: Further refinements in propulsion systems and guidance technology could potentially extend the range and enhance the accuracy of Agni-V, solidifying its position as a formidable deterrent.
- Advanced Navigation Systems: Integration of advanced navigation systems like Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) with even greater precision could further improve targeting capabilities.
- Diversification of Missile Arsenal: India's strategic missile program is likely to continue diversifying, potentially including the development of submarine-launched ballistic missiles (SLBMs) and hypersonic missiles to bolster its second-strike capability.
However, India's advancements in missile technology also necessitate responsible strategic balancing:
- Transparency and Dialogue: Open communication and dialogue with neighbouring countries and major powers regarding India's nuclear doctrine and missile development program can help build trust and reduce regional tensions.
- International Arms Control Regimes: India's active participation in international arms control regimes and non-proliferation initiatives can demonstrate its commitment to responsible nuclear deterrence and prevent an arms race in the region.
- Focus on Peaceful Applications: India's expertise in missile technology can extend beyond military applications. Fostering collaboration on space exploration programs and civilian launch vehicles can showcase the peaceful potential of this technology.
The successful testing of Agni-V signifies a critical step forward in India's journey towards becoming a leading power with a robust and credible minimum deterrence posture. It underscores the country's growing self-reliance in defence technology and its commitment to safeguarding its national security interests. However, responsible utilisation of this technology through transparency, dialogue, and adherence to international norms is crucial for regional stability and global peace. As India continues to develop its missile arsenal, focusing on peaceful applications of this technology can further enhance its global standing. By striking a balance between strategic deterrence and responsible nuclear stewardship, India can ensure a secure future for itself and contribute to a more peaceful world order. | aerospace |

This isn’t the first hypersonic missile that the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has launched. Since 2014, China has tested 9 super-sonic missiles. This story is making the news because China has now successfully increased both the range that these missiles can travel and the payload that they can carry. This recent missile test proves that the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has progressed with their hypersonic weaponry more than the Biden administration realized. China now has hypersonic missiles that can carry multiple non-nuclear payloads and can drop them on multiple targets.
The (CCP) Chinese Communist Party’s development of hypersonic missiles caught the Biden administration unprepared . According to U.S. Air Force Secretary Frank Kendall (in a recent article in Defense News) “The U.S. Air Force’s top civilian is unsatisfied with existing hypersonic weapons programs and isn’t sure whether the weapons under development will meet the service’s needs.” Watch One America News Network’s Chief White House Correspondent Chanel Rion report.(CCP

A Sriwijaya Air aircraft with 62 individuals on board lost contact after removing from Indonesia’s capital Jakarta on a domestic flight on Saturday and rescuers stated believed particles had actually been discovered in the sea off the city.
The Boeing 737-500, en path to Pontianak in West Kalimantan, vanished from radar screens after removing simply after 2.30 p.m. (0730 GMT.
Indonesian Transport Minister Budi Karya informed a press conference that 62 individuals had actually been aboard, consisting of 12 team. Another authorities had actually stated previously there were 56 guests and 6 team.
Bagus Puruhito, head of the nation’s search and rescue company Basarnas, stated groups had actually been dispatched to browse the waters north ofJakarta No radio beacon signal had actually been spotted, the company stated.
Agus Haryono, another authorities with the company, informed Reuters that particles believed to be from the aircraft had actually been discovered in the sea, however it had actually not been verified that it originated from the missing out on flight.
Reliable tracking service Flight radar24 stated on its Twitter feed that Flight SJ182 “lost more than 10,000 feet of altitude in less than one minute, about 4 minutes after departure from Jakarta.”
Sriwijaya Air, an Indonesian airline company, stated in a declaration it was collecting more in-depth info relating to the flight prior to it might make a fuller declaration.
The almost 27-year-old Boeing 737-500 was much older than Boeing’s problem-plagued 737 MAX design, among which crashed off Jakarta in late 2018, eliminating all 189 individuals aboard the Lion Air flight. Older 737 designs are commonly flown and do not have actually the system linked in limit security crisis.
A Boeing spokesperson stated, “We are aware of media reports from Jakarta, and are closely monitoring the situation. We are working to gather more information.”
Indonesian tv channels revealed photos of believed wreckage.
“We found some cables, a piece of jeans, and pieces of metal on the water,” Zulkifli, a security authorities, informed CNNIndonesia com.
Nurhasan, an angler in the location referred to as Thousand Islands, informed regional media that he and his team had actually discovered a number of pieces of metal.
It was drizzling at Soekarno-Hatta International Airport when the aircraft removed for Pontianak, around 740 km (460 miles away.
Video images from the airport revealed photos of loved ones of the guests in tears as they waited for news of what had actually occurred.
Rescue authorities Agus stated 50 individuals were participating in the search which they would browse into the night.
Founded in 2003, Jakarta- based Sriwijaya Air group flies mostly within Indonesia.
The airline company has a strong security record previously, without any onboard casualties in 4 events tape-recorded on the Aviation Safety Network database, though a farmer was eliminated when a Boeing 737-200 left the runway in 2008 following a hydraulic issue.
The Boeing 737 is the world’s most-sold household of airplane and has actually gone through a number of transformations given that it went into service in 1968.
The 737-500 is 2 generations of advancement prior to the most current 737 MAX, which has actually been involved in an around the world security crisis following crashes in Indonesia andEthiopia It does not utilize the software application system linked in those crashes.
Nonetheless, professionals state aircrafts such as Sriwijaya’s rented 737-500 are being phased out for more recent fuel-saving designs. Civil jets normally have a financial life of 25 years, suggesting they end up being too pricey to keep flying beyond that compared to more youthful designs, however they are constructed to last longer.

As the market grows, enterprising individuals are seeking ways to be a part of this booming industry, and drone franchises present an ideal opportunity. We delve into the realm of drone franchises in the United States, exploring what they offer and how they can be the launchpad for a lucrative business venture.
The expanding horizons of drone usage
Drones, once exotic, expensive gadgets, have evolved into a multifaceted utility. The agriculture sector benefits from drone technology in monitoring crops and analyzing soil. Logistics companies are eyeing drones for small parcel deliveries. Ecologists utilize drones to monitor and count wildlife and livestock. Geographical mapping, search and rescue operations, pipeline monitoring and road patrols are also harnessing the power of drones.
Drones have become an essential tool for photography and motion picture filmmaking. With such diverse applications, it is obvious that drones are more than just a flying machine.
The appeal of drone franchises
Entering the drone business via a franchise has its perks. Franchisees benefit from an established brand, access to tried-and-tested business models and continuous support. Moreover, as a franchisee, you have the autonomy of being your own boss while still having the safety net of a larger organization.
Though the franchisor provides the groundwork, it’s crucial to understand that, as a franchisee, you play a significant role in making the business work. Your entrepreneurship skills and dedication are vital to the success of your franchise.
According to industry forecasts, the drone services market is set to experience substantial growth in the coming years. The market reached $29.8 billion in 2022, indicating a significant expansion in its overall value.
In the United States, the sales of consumer drones to dealers in 2020 exceeded $1.25 billion, according to Statista. This highlights the strong demand for consumer drones within the country. Furthermore, Goldman Sachs forecast that the total drone market will reach a value of $100 billion, primarily driven by the increasing demand from commercial and government sectors.
These statistics indicate the growing significance of drones and their expanding market presence, suggesting a promising future for the drone industry as a whole — and franchises in particular.
The U.S. drone industry is buzzing with commercial potential but is not without its risks. Like navigating through a no-fly zone, prospective franchise owners must tread carefully, fully aware of the potential pitfalls.
The drone industry is under the watchful eye of the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), which has set a complex network of regulations that franchise owners must skillfully navigate. Keeping pace with the constant changes can be a full-time job in itself. Any lapses could lead to severe penalties and potential legal battles, making this regulatory landscape a potential minefield for new franchisees.
Drones, despite their many benefits, can be seen as intrusive, raising major privacy concerns. As these unmanned aerial vehicles become more ubiquitous, the risk of legal disputes and potential damage to a brand’s reputation grows. In the eye of the public, perception is reality, and in this case, perception could lead to reputation nosedives.
The potential for property damage or personal injury makes insuring a drone franchise a potentially expensive affair. Balancing risk with cost is another tricky area for those venturing into the drone franchising industry. What’s more, operating a drone requires specific training and a certain skill level. Ensuring that all franchisees and their employees receive adequate training and adhere strictly to safety protocols is a challenge.
Despite their increasing popularity, drones are often negatively perceived due to their associations with surveillance and warfare. This could impact a franchise’s marketability, creating an unexpected headwind that could slow the growth of the business. Moreover, the drone market has seen a surge of startups in recent years, making the skies a lot more crowded. With increased competition, standing out from the rest of the flock can be an uphill task for any drone franchise.
U.S. drone franchises
As the drone industry thrives, various franchises have sprouted across the United States. Here are some notable drone franchises:
Blue Nose specializes in aerial imaging and data collection. This franchise is ideal for those looking to get involved in surveying, mapping and agricultural monitoring. Blue Nose caters to a wide range of industries, including construction, real estate and agriculture.

The wing, and sometimes the whole team, is named after the same name, paragliding. The technical definition would look something like this: flexible light glider. Glider because it does not have engine and flexible because there are no rigid parts that make up the wing, so it can be transported in the trunk of a car.
The weight of all equipment is around 25-30 kg, although there are mountain equipment with a mass of about 8 kg. The pilot and occasionally the paragliding passenger will be equipped with mandatory safety equipment, helmets and emergency parachutes, and with various electronic instruments: variometer or altivarium, GPS and radio equipment.
Being a type of flexible wing, the turbulence and especially the shear can produce folds that deform the wing profile, thus losing part of its capacity of support and entering different flight configurations: asymmetrical or frontal folds, autorrotation, auger, etc. . If the incident occurs at a sufficient height, it will normally be possible to return to the natural flight configuration, but if this is not the case, a very basic parachute is used as a last resort for an emergency case that rarely occurs.
One part of the training of a paraglider pilot is just learning to control paragliding in flight incidents. This type of course is called SIV (Flight Incident Simulation). In this course the pilot will learn to master paragliding in the face of an incident, to make useful maneuvers (drills, losses) and to use the emergency parachute correctly. These types of courses are performed on the water, with the presence of a rescue boat for safety in case of having to use the emergency parachute.
Speed for a paraglider model
The maximum and minimum relative speed range for an intermediate paraglider model is: Maximum speed: 50 kilometers per hour. Minimum speed: 24 km / h. A competition paraglider can surpass 60 kilometers / hour and a glide ratio, or “fineness” of 10: 1, ie, that for every 10 meters relative of advancing air descends one (we must think that being in the air , The speed in this case will always be relative to the strength and direction of the wind, and not to confuse with the actual speed to land GPS).
It is about being able to take off, fly and land with a wing by the pilot’s own means, that is, on foot. The ideal would be from a slope not very sloping and facing a moderate wind of about 10-20 km / h, or less even if it is intended to fly near the coast, since the air will have a higher density there due to atmospheric pressures And higher relative humidities. Then the pilot will sit comfortably in a chair or harness, attached to the belts by two carabiners.
The form of flight is pendular, which means that the pilot has direct control in only two of the three planes of flight: warping (with the weight of the pilot and the brakes) and pitching (with both brakes simultaneously and with the accelerator) ; The yaw, therefore, lacking a tail, is beyond the control of the pilot.
Paragliding taking off
Another possible way for the paraglider to take off is to do it with fixed traction lathe or a mechanical unwinder that an operator controls by giving tension to a cable. It is hooked onto the harness by means of a quick release system, which the pilot will actuate when the turner instructs it. It is a typical type of flight of plains (especially in deserts, where the highest heights are reached) and here the duration of the flight depends on the skill of the pilot to get elevated as much as possible and then to find currents of ascending air.
We can also see paramotors when the same wing is attached to a chair or harness with a petrol or electric explosion engine and a propeller of two or three blades that propulses the entire system at will of the pilot. Although the wings of both aircraft are the same or very similar, weather conditions, flight and non-engine flight techniques, and environmental impact differ widely.
To know the clouds
The science of sailing and, consequently, paragliding is based on thermal currents and dynamic currents. The first are produced by heating a mass of air by conduction, ie by the contact of air on a floor heated by the sun’s rays. This mass of air expands by raising its temperature and is lighter than the surrounding air, so that once the resistance created by the same air viscosity has been overcome, it begins to rise in the form of bubbles or as more or less cyclical vertical currents . This hot air rise, called thermal, is the engine used by all glider aircraft.
In the second case, the wind upward direction is used to save some obstacle, a technique almost always reserved for some shorebirds and paragliders. In thermal flight, the skill is to center the ascending channel well to obtain the maximum speed of ascent but losing the least possible height in the turn. But before that we must find those thermal currents; May be drifting from the more arid zones of the terrain, on the slopes with more incidence of the sun’s rays, to leeward of obstacles, and in addition the clouds of convection or clusters mark them as the lenticular clouds show high speeds of the wind Or you can know the direction of the wind by the shape of the clouds.
The ancestors produced by a storm cloud or cumulonimbos are so large that they overflow the aircraft and constitute a danger for the pilot, both for the enormous altitude at which they rise (sometimes 10,000 meters), for the disorientation that is Suffers because of a zero visibility, as well as by the turbulences that may exist within it.
The restitution is a thermal flight that occurs at dusk, when large masses, especially rocks and arid lands, gradually return to the atmosphere the heat stored during hot days and with little wind, generating smooth but huge ancestry. This action is increased in the valleys by fresh currents, or katabatic wind, that descend along the slopes after sunset.
The dynamic flight is made by moving in front of an obstacle in front of the wind, as a surfer slides by a wave, as this wind, when climbing up the slopes, provides a mass of sustaining air. The mountain wave has the same effect, with the exception of being produced by strong meteorological winds, that when ascending and descending by orographic accidents produce ances and descendants, as well as very turbulent zones, also denominated “rotores”.
The thermodynamic flight is only to take advantage of the convergence of breezes of different orientation that produces an elongated ascending zone and generally crowned by clouds of convection or cumulus. This convergence can be derived by the meteorological wind existing in higher layers of the atmosphere and they are authentic freeways freeways. They have reached a distance of 400 kilometers in a straight line thanks to this phenomenon.
In many countries this activity is not regulated, and the use of defective equipment, the lack of security complements or this activity without a previous training course with trained personnel, cause accidents that could be avoided if the sport was taken with responsibility. Good training and a bit of good sense is the basis for this sport to be safe. | aerospace |

It was designed to carry enough fuel to generate over a half-million pounds of thrust when flowing through the Space Shuttle’s Main Engines (SSME’s), ensuring the necessary propulsion for a shuttle to get into orbit.
Although the tank never did make it into space, it does have one important final mission to undertake.
Last year NASA donated ET-94 to the California Science Center to help finalize the museum’s space exhibition, making it the only place in the world that people will be able to go to see a complete shuttle stack with all real flight hardware in launch configuration.
In the coming months ET-94 will be transported to California to fulfill that donation.
The journey will begin on April 12 originating at Michoud Assembly Facility in New Orleans and traveling by barge through the Panama Canal before arriving in Fisherman’s Village in Marina del Rey on May 18.
From there the tank will loaded on to a truck and hauled on 16-mile trek, ultimately arriving at The California Science Center on May 21.
The tank will then finally be piggybacked on to the back of the Space Shuttle Endeavor, where it will stay on view for the public.
Standing upright at around 15-stories tall, the tank is massive in its own right, yet it is neither as wide nor as high as Endeavor, which was famously transported across Los Angeles back in 2012.
Because of smaller footprint during transport, the impact of the transit process should be less than that of Endeavor.
Notably, no trees will have to be removed along the truck route, although some stoplights may have to be removed (and then immediately reinstalled) to allow the tank to safely complete its journey.

From the DJI Phantom 4 Quadcopter to the Yuneec Typhoon Q500 Quadcopter, drones are capable of high-aerial 4K cinematography, come equipped with GPS navigational sensors, and can reach speeds of up to 45 mph. The next evolution in drone technology will be centered around reducing the size of its processing chip – the one that controls autonomous flight, power consumption, and high-resolution camera footage. A reduction in chip size would result in an entirely new breed of smart drones the size of bumble bees.
MIT’s Microchip Technology
Thanks to a team of engineers at MIT, the size of drone chips has been reduced drastically – making it possible to build bottle cap size UAVs. Led by Associate Professor of Aeronautics and Astronautics Sertac Karaman and Associate Professor of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science Vivienne Sze, MIT’s tiny drone chip is capable of full navigational control, capturing high-res aerial footage, and the best part: it does so at a fraction of the power consumption.
With current drone chips consuming close to 30 watts of electricity, MIT’s microchip uses only two watts of power and takes up only two Megabytes of memory. The chip also processes an impressive 20 images per minute. So how did the MIT team drastically reduce the size of a drone chip and boost its performance? Using an approach called “Navion.” Instead of following the traditional chronological order of design first/create algorithm after, the team at MIT created both the chip and the algorithm simultaneously. According to a recent article in New Atlas, “this approach pairs down an existing algorithm responsible for determining the drones awareness of its position in space, known as ego-motion.”
Drone Field Testing
The end result of their revolutionary design approach: the installation of a field-programmable gate array (FPGA) chip that can control power consumption levels and at the same time, “maintain an acceptable level of accuracy.” Through multiple drone simulation and motion-controlled flights, the installed chip was able to strategically conserve power by eliminating outside memory storage and processing data. Instead of taking up precious storage, the microchip was able to erase unneeded data while keeping its performance optimal.
The next steps are to improve the chip’s algorithm and application-specific circuit – reducing the power consumption down to hundreds of milliwatts. According to Professor Karaman, this translates into the making of “the smallest intelligent drone that can fly on its own.” The most practical application being the creation of insect-size drones capable of search and rescue missions, industrial inspections, and high-level surveillance.
Imagine the Possibilities
“Imagine buying a bottle cap-sized drone that can integrate with your phone, and you can take it out and fit it into your palm,” Karaman said in an interview with New Atlas. “If you lift your hand up a little, it would sense that, and start to fly around and film you. Then you can open up your hand again and it would land on your palm, and you could upload that video to your phone and share it with others.”
If you’re interested in checking out MIT’s nanotechnological brilliance, their microchip will be presented at the Robotics: Science and Systems conference. | aerospace |

Such data will inform risk-based design of systems and operation related to the aviation and maritime sectors. SAFEMODE will overcome the unavailability of systematically collected data and the lack of cooperation between different transport modes currently preventing the full achievement of these objectives.
Currently, both the maritime and aviation sectors lack a systematic approach to collect and assess Human Factors information, in normal and emergency conditions as well. They also lack an agreed methodology to assess human-related risks with the aim of influencing design and operation of aircraft and ships.
Therefore, the research question that SAFEMODE addresses is
“How to fully capture human elements, and their interaction with the other system elements, to enhance safety in maritime and aviation operations?”
We will focus on reducing risks for safety critical situations (e.g. mid-air collisions, grounding, evacuation, runway excursions etc.) through the enhancement of human performance. This requires addressing Human Factors aspects in relation to risk-based design of system and operations in a measurable manner. In order to do so, SAFEMODE will investigate past accidents, incidents, near-misses, reports, and data from everyday operations, including previously unknown uncertainties such as increasing levels of automation and increased number of drones in transportation. | aerospace |

ONE aircraft went missing and presumably ended up in the Indian Ocean, another was blown out of the skies in an apparent missile strike, a third crashed in bad weather and, in the most recent tragedy on Thursday, an Algerian jet went down as it crossed Africa in bad weather.
Four major air disasters in as many months - the last three within a week - have claimed about 700 lives. The death toll is higher than the annual average of 517 fatalities from air accidents in the past five years, according to data compiled by the International Air Transport Association (Iata).
The aviation industry is anything but flying high, and travellers are spooked.
The big question on everyone's mind: Is getting on an aircraft becoming unsafe, and what happens when even more people and planes take to the skies in the future?
Traveller anxiety is to be expected, but, as aviation experts stress, the number of incidents worldwide is, in fact, on the decline.
From 90 air accidents in 2009, there were 81 last year, going by Iata's figures. Even with the four recent disasters, the year's record to date is better than for the same period last year, based on the actual number of incidents.
The improvement comes even as the number of travellers increased from 2.2 billion in 2005 to 3.1 billion last year.
Tony Tyler, Iata's chief executive and director-general, said on Thursday: "With three tragedies in such quick succession, many people will, understandably, be asking questions about aviation safety.
"Our No. 1 priority is safety. And, despite the events of the past seven days, flying is safe."
Each day, about 100,000 flights take to the skies and land without incident.
Last year, more than three billion people flew, and there were 210 fatalities.
"Regrettably, we have surpassed that number already this year. Even so, getting on an aircraft is still among the safest activities that one can do," Mr Tyler said.
This was not the case, though, for those who were on board the four ill-fated flights.
On March 8, Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 vanished en route from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing, and presumably crashed into the Indian Ocean with 239 crew members and passengers on board.
Four months later, on July 17, another Malaysia Airlines jet, this time flying from Amsterdam to Kuala Lumpur, was apparently shot down by a land-to-air missile as it crossed eastern Ukraine, where pro-Russian rebels are fighting the government. There were 298 people on board Flight MH17.
The following Wednesday, on July 23, a plane belonging to Taiwan's TransAsia Airways crashed in torrential rain in the island's south-west, killing 48 people.
The next day, another tragedy - most likely weather-related as well - occurred. An Air Algerie plane - which took off from Burkina Faso's capital, Ouagadougou - crashed on its way to Algiers, killing the 116 on board.
Jon Beatty, president and chief executive of non-profit organisation Flight Safety Foundation, said: "This is a sad cluster of crashes that are in different regions of the world, and on different aircraft and airlines.
"There is no reason to think that there is a connection. It appears to be a tragic coincidence... Travellers should not be worried."
Associate Professor Terence Fan of the Singapore Management University said: "People are instinctively reacting to each accident and saying 'that is No. 2' and 'that is No. 3' and 'one more crash again'.
"But we need to put it in perspective and look at the bigger picture, which shows that, despite air traffic growing at a rate of about 5 per cent to 6 per cent a year, the number of incidents has declined."
This does not mean all is well, though, the same experts say.
Whether it is lapses in real-time aircraft tracking which made it tough for investigators to pin down exactly where MH370 crashed, or gaps in the gathering and dissemination of critical information - such as who has missiles that can shoot planes down from what used to be considered a safe altitude of 33,000 ft (10,058m) - there are many things that need fixing.
Chance to improve safety
Experts believe the industry will become even safer because, as tragic as air disasters are, each accident presents an opportunity for learning and improvement.
It was with this in mind that Iata launched its Global Aviation Data Management programme as a comprehensive safety data warehouse in 2012.
The database includes analysis reports covering accidents, incidents, ground damage, maintenance and safety audits.
Travellers learn too, said Michael Daniel, a retired United States Federal Aviation Administration official.
After the Ukraine crash, for example, airlines and travel agents received many calls from travellers asking about air routes and whether the carriers fly over conflict and war areas.
With demand for air travel poised to grow, the global aviation community - states, regulators, service providers, airlines, airports - has to ensure that resources can keep up with the expected growth in the number of flights to keep the industry safe, Mr Daniel added.
Apart from ensuring that there will be enough pilots to fly the planes and engineers to maintain and fix them, as well as airports to handle passengers, it is critical to ensure that there will be enough air-traffic controllers to manage the skies safely.
Another major area that the industry is focusing on is how weather impacts air safety, said Hsin Chen Chung, director of Nanyang Technological University's Air Traffic Management Research Institute, which was set up jointly by the university and the Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore.
Whether due to global warming or some other phenomenon, extreme weather conditions are becoming more frequent and intense, he said.
Researchers at his institute are working on four research projects, two of which are weather-related.
"The focus is to see how we can improve the industry's ability to handle weather conditions... This includes being able to not just better forecast weather conditions, but also to use the data in a meaningful way, so that pilots and air-traffic controllers have access to the information and are able to use it to boost operational safety."
Mr Daniel said that airlines and regulators also need to "double their efforts on pilot training and, in particular, go-around manoeuvres in inclement weather conditions".
Despite the recent tragedies, the air-travel industry is not about to go into a deadly tailspin because, for many, flying has become a necessity.
This is also why no air accident can be taken lightly.
The industry must never forget that it has a responsibility to ensure that every flight that takes off lands safely because, at the end of every journey, there is someone waiting for a loved one.

The cosmic ray flux is low enough in the Earth's atmosphere that exposure only becomes an issue in space. On the International Space Station, km ( mi) above the surface of the Earth, astronauts experience the effects of cosmic rays hundreds of times more numerous than those experienced by people on the ground. Cosmic Ray has 13 books on Goodreads with 94 ratings. Cosmic Ray’s most popular book is Fat Tire Tales & Trails: Arizona Mountain Bike Trail Guide.
Hold out your hand for 10 seconds. A dozen electrons and muons just zipped unfelt through your palm. The ghostly particles are what scientists call "secondary cosmic rays" -- subatomic debris from collisions between molecules high in Earth's atmosphere and high-energy cosmic rays from outer space. This daily shower, which never stops, is a sign of violent events in deep space. The safety of high energy particle collisions was a topic of widespread discussion and topical interest during the time when the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) and later the Large Hadron Collider (LHC)—currently the world's largest and most powerful particle accelerator—were being constructed and commissioned. Concerns arose that such high energy experiments—designed to produce.
In the subject of radiation protection in space the electromagnetic waves or non-ionizing radiation have little importance so we will focus on the particle radiation. There are three naturally occurring sources of particle radiation in space: trapped radiation, galactic cosmic radiation (GCR), and . Nature's hadron collider produces Higgs bosons all the time, high in the sky Cosmic rays provide a free source of high-energy collisions, which have Author: Jon Butterworth.

Secondly, an important branch of cosmic ray physics that has rapidly evolved in conjunction with space exploration concerns the low energy portion of the cosmic ray spectrum.
Thirdly, the branch of research that is concerned with the origin, acceleration and propagation of the cosmic radiation represents a great challenge for astrophysics 4/5(1). However, Earth itself is part of the Universe’s collider, the accidental “target” for beams of cosmic rays from deep space.

The cosmic ray particles, at least up to about 1 0 15 eV, are considered of galactic origin and the power required for their acceleration is generally thought to be provided by shock waves of expanding supernovae observations of high-energy photons presumably coming from neutral pion emission from accelerated protons in the Supernova Remnant W44, and SR IC made by Agile Author: Mirko Boezio, Riccardo Munini, Piergiorgio Picozza.
Cosmic rays are charged subatomic particles that streak to Earth from deep in outer space. A few rare cosmic rays are extraordinarily powerful, with energies up. The latest collisions are meant to replicate the interactions between cosmic-ray particles and interstellar 'dust' particles.
Cosmic-ray particles are high-energy particles originating from. Cosmic rays are charged particles, and their direction of motion can be changed by magnetic fields. The paths of cosmic rays are curved both by magnetic fields in interstellar space and by Earth’s own field.
Calculations show that low-energy cosmic rays may spiral many times around Earth before entering the atmosphere where we can detect them.
On the other hand, air showers of cosmic radiation, or more simply showers of cosmic radiation, consist of cascades of subatomic particles and electromagnetic radiation resulting from nucleon–nucleon collisions of high-energy cosmic-ray particles from space with atomic nuclei of the earth's atmosphere.
Cosmic rays are classified according to. The carbon nucleus (which we now call a cosmic ray) flies through space at a high speed. Eventually, it collides with a hydrogen atom in open space.
The collision fragments the carbon nucleus, which creates two new particles: helium and lithium.

Most of these particles come from sources within the Milky Way Galaxy and are known as galactic cosmic rays (GCRs). The rest of the cosmic rays originate either from the Sun or, almost certainly in the case of the particles with the highest energies, outside the Milky Way Galaxy.

From subatomic particles to the largest galaxies, cosmic collisions are a universal force of nature/10(24).Once the data is collected, students can compare their collisions with those that take place between cosmic rays and atoms in space.
Cosmic rays travel around the Milky Way Galaxy in all directions, and they travel through a mostly uniform medium between the stars, in which there is about 1 hydrogen atom for every cubic centimeter.The effects arising from the decay of radio isotopes produced in collisions of cosmic-ray nuclei with hydrogen in space, on the composition of the radiation observed in the neighbourhood of the earth have been investigated.

Project Mercury was the first human spaceflight program of the United States led by its newly created space agency NASA. It ran from 1959 through 1963 with the goal of putting a human in orbit around the Earth, and doing it before the Soviet Union, as part of the early space race. It involved 7 astronauts flying a total of 6 solo trips. On 5 May 1961, Alan Shepard became the first American in space in a suborbital flight after the Soviet Union had put Yuri Gagarin into space and orbit one month earlier. John Glenn became the first American to reach orbit on 20 February 1962. He was the third person to do so, after Soviet Gherman Titov made a day-long flight in August 1961. When the project ended in May 1963, the Americans' NASA program was still behind the Soviet Space Program, but the gap was seen as closing. The race to the Moon began.
The space race started in 1957 by the launch of the Soviet satellite Sputnik I. This came as a shock to the American public and led to the creation of NASA to gather the efforts in space exploration already existing in the USA. After the launch of the first American satellite in 1958, manned space flight became the next goal. The spacecraft was produced by McDonnell Aircraft. It was cone shaped with room for one person together with supplies of water, food and oxygen for about one day in a pressurized cabin. It was launched from Cape Canaveral in Florida by modified military missiles, most importantly Atlas D, and had a rescue tower for protection from a failing rocket. The whole flight could be controlled from the ground through a network of tracking stations which also allowed communication with the astronaut. If necessary, the astronaut could override commands from the ground. For reentry into Earth's atmosphere, small rockets were used to bring the spacecraft out of its orbit. A heatshield would protect the spacecraft from the heat of reentry, and a parachute would slow the craft for a water landing. Here both astronaut and spacecraft were picked up by helicopter and brought to a ship.
Application software is all the computer software that causes a computer to perform useful tasks beyond the running of the computer itself. A specific instance of such software is called a software application, application program, application or app.
The term is used to contrast such software with system software, which manages and integrates a computer's capabilities but does not directly perform tasks that benefit the user. The system software serves the application, which in turn serves the user.

The PGM-11 Redstone was the first large American ballistic missile. A short-range surface-to-surface rocket, it was in active service with the U.S. Army in West Germany from June 1958 to June 1964 as part of NATO's Cold War defense of Western Europe. It was the first missile to carry a live nuclear warhead, first detonated in a 1958 Pacific Ocean weapons test, with two tests occurring over a period of 12 days.

The Redstone Building, also known as the Redstone Labor Temple, was formerly called "The San Francisco Labor Temple" was constructed and operated by the San Francisco Labor Council Hall Associates. Initial planning started in 1910, with most construction work done during 1914. Its primary tenant was the San Francisco Labor Council, including 22 labor union offices as well as meeting halls. The building was a hub of union organizing, work activities and a "primary center for the city's historic labor community for over half a century."
The Redstone building played a significant role in the 1917 United Railroads Streetcar Strike as well as the San Francisco maritime strike that led to the 1934 San Francisco General Strike for better working conditions for all workers. The Redstone has been designated San Francisco's 238th landmark. | aerospace |

This set of notes is written to bring to the attention of new pilots and car drivers some of the past experiences with this method of launch and continue the excellent safety record. A good launch is made with the pilot and car driver working together to reach maximum launch altitude. The rope used at Dansville is 3/8" diamond braid polypropylene with a braking strength exceeding 2000 pounds when new. Each rope should provide from 200 to 300 launches before it is warn out. All persons that are anywhere near this rope must be aware of the fact that one end of it may be connected to a 3000 pound car with several hundred horsepower available. If the rope should become entangled with a person it could cause serious injury or death. Consider the car pulling the rope with you entangled in it across the ground at 30 to 50 miles per hour, or consider the rope crossing over a part of you at these speeds. It could cut right through. Entangled on a part of a sailplane it could cause real damage. But treated with respect the rope becomes part of a very useful method for launching sailplanes.
The most general statement that can be made is for all persons to be aware of where the rope is and what is happening to it. The car driver must consider all aspects of the launch and retrieve and must make sure that the power is applied to the rope when desired by the right amount at the right time and that power is not applied at other times. The rope must be on the pulley and not just around the pulley shaft. The area between the sailplane must be clear and the proposed drop zone must be clear. The people in the car must be inside with a good roof over each head. It is advisable to have a trained observer to watch out the back of the car to advise the car driver of any abnormality. The rope should be retrieved at a speed no greater than 10 mile per hour to prevent undue wear on the rope. Persons around the launch start line should treat the rope with respect and act as if it is attached to the car ready to go. Keep it clear of the airplane towrope. Be aware of where it is and what it could do if entangled with persons or property.
Several years ago we used a pipe driven in the ground to anchor the fixed end of the launch rope. This worked fine until the ground was softened by rain and the stake worked the ground until the stake was quite loose. Then during a launch just as the sailplane steepened its climb the stake came out of the ground and sailed through the air and hit the top of the car hard enough to put a 6-inch dent in it. If the car had been an open model it would have injured or killed the driver. The dent was directly over the driver's head. No longer is an ordinary stake used for an anchor but a steel rod anchored in 100 pounds of concrete. It is mentioned here so that any Glider Guiders that may have occasion to set up a ground launch sailplane operation, will consider the forces that are applied to the anchor and build a safe one.
During the change of operations from one end of the airport to the other due to a wind shift, a K6 was launched down wind. It made a 180-degree turn and landed. The car driver picked up the end to take it back to launch the next glider (down wind). The driver brought the car back to the downed K6 to check and make sure everything was OK. The pilot assured the driver it was. The driver then drove off at 30 mile per hour clip but the pilot and sailplane were in the loop. The pilot yelled but the driver was too far away. The pilot could visualize the rope cutting the sailplane in two and picked up the now fast moving rope juggling it over the tail and trying to juggle it over the wing, but in the process was tossed over the wing himself. The rope caught between the aileron and wing tip and swung the sailplane around. The pilot landed on his shoulder, which was injured, and the K6 required minor repairs. Considering the situation, the pilot could have been killed and the K6 could have been damaged beyond repair It is good practice and should be a rule that:
Several times during operations the rope has been near people and property during takeoff. In one case a sailplane was being returned to the start line and the wing walker had to hold the rapidly moving rope away from the sailplane with a shoe on his foot. It is not necessary to say anything further about this dangerous situation. In the second case the rope was under a wing of a 2-33 sailplane when the launch started, with several people attempting to retrieve the 2-33 and return it to the start line. The sailplane being launched became airborne before anyone was aware of the situation. The pilot released and landed. The rope caught between the wing and aileron and spun the 2-33 around, causing more than $100 damage. Fortunately no one was injured. In the third case an airplane was landing on the cross-runway when the launch started. The pilot of the sailplane saw the airplane in time, and remained low while the airplane rolled out over the rapidly moving rope. When the airplane was safely beyond the rope the pilot pulled up and completed the launch. In this case the flagman and car driver were negligent; the flagman for not noticing the traffic and holding the launch and the driver starting the launch with moving traffic on the cross runway.
Several times airplanes have taken off and passed within only a few feet of the rope that was still connected to a sailplane about 1000 feet over the tow car. One airplane made a long straight-in approach having been way out when the launch started and was undetected by the flagman. The airplane came over the approach end of the field at better than 100 miles per hour and made a low pass but did not touch down, then climbed out well past the rope before it was dropped by the sailplane. The airplane pilot was completely unaware that a rope could have become entangled with his airplane and spoiled his entire day (ours too). The second airplane was on the down wind leg of his landing pattern when the launch started. The airplane made a shorter than usual pattern followed by a 'touch and go'. This airplane missed the rope by only a few feet. Several times an airplane started a take-off from a position near the center of the runway, (sometimes opposite the car launch start line), and seem to be completely unaware of the consequences of becoming entangled with the rope. One airplane did fly under the sailplane and cut the rope with his propeller. In this case the pilot landed and came to give us hell but one of our members beat him to it by asking how come he cut our expensive rope with his propeller. He was taken aback. Fortunately the rope was directly in line with the propeller. If it would have been a little to either side it could have caused him to crash. Need I say more? In the above situations the flagman has long since committed the launch and can do nothing except observe the action. The sailplane pilot is concentrating on his part of the launch with the potential danger approaching from the rear. The car driver is concentrating on keeping the car under nearly full power and may not see (will not see) the approaching airplane. However a trained observer in the car could warn the driver of the approaching aircraft and the driver could take one of several actions:
Most releases are designed so that if you overrun the rope it will automatically release. This does not al ways happen on the ground launch. When you are at the top of the launch and are pulling several 'Gs' the rope is pulling down and not back. Consequently, you may be pulled over the top and then into the ground at the end of a long arc. (There are two deaths that I am aware of due to this situation) The fix for this is to initiate a turn as soon as you find that you cannot release. (We have a live one in this case where the pilot turned a couple of circles about the tow car and then flew over the top of the tow car and got next to the ground before he came to the end of the rope. But he was going parallel with the ground when he reached the end of the rope, and the rope broke with no upsets) Consider you being pulled down in a great arc with you against the straps trying to operate the release, with several 'Gs' making the release difficult to open. Keep in mind there is an out if you respond quickly. The other out is the ground crew realizes your predicament and cuts the rope. We did have one where the upper ring was driven back into the fuselage on a rope brake, and caught in the v shaped fuselage structure. There was a parachute that indicated to the pilot that something was wrong. The ground crew did cut the rope. But the long rope dangled out over the phone wires at the end of the airport, then over a field then over a woods and finally into the airport. All the while the pilot was pulling on the release handle trying to get away from the parachute that was flapping on the left side of the sailplane. Fortunately the crew cut the rope and the rope did not tangle with anything. Lets not let this happen to us.
Make sure: the rope is properly placed over the pulley,(one tow with the rope around the shaft and the rope is useless thereafter) the path of the car and sailplane are clear, proper driver technique is used for the launch and rope retrieve, all persons at the car are inside and properly seated, you are prepared to quickly cut the rope if required, you have insured that no person or property is in the loop during retrieves.
Make sure: pattern is clear enough to complete the launch, the cross runway is clear of traffic, the takeoff area is clear; the rope is properly attached to the sailplane after the pilot indicates that he is ready
Make sure: sailplane is airworthy and you have completed you checklist, takeoff area is clear, cross-runway is clear of traffic, proper flying technique is used during launch with preparation for rope brake at any time.
Car pulley launch is a reliable, inexpensive, safe method of launching sailplanes.

Chinese smartphone manufacturer, Xiaomi, has launched its first drone ever on May 25, 2016. It was shown on a live-stream at Xiaomi's website, Mi.com, that only proves that Xiaomi is tapping to build and develop all of technology's latest trends.
Aside from manufacturing smartphones, Xiaomi has decided to add a new device to its line-up; a drone. They have created a teaser saying, "something wonderful and cool is flying to us very soon," which made everyone eager of the launch.
There has been an official forum posting on what the quadcopter looks like. The forum post is titled "Mi Drone" which gives us a clue or the answer of what the device will be called.
The drone is said to deliver 4K video capabilities at 30fps and a quadcopter control from connected wristband.
Xiaomi is not focusing only on the launch of the drone but they have also revealed another smartphone for the month of May which is the Mi Max smartphone.
Xiaomi has been turning competitive these days and start to tap and create every type of device that its competitors have. It was also mentioned at the Google I/O that Xiaomi will be working on a VR phone that will support the new Android Daydream virtual reality technology. It seems to be a pretty cool invention if pursued.
For the price of the drone, we have no news yet but according to sources it could possibly be the first truly affordable UAV in the market. As of now, these are the only information that we have for the drone, soon we will be able to see it flying in stores. | aerospace |

Many of the aircraft involved have been for Warren Pietsch’s fabulous Dakota Territory Air Museum, and such is the case for this particular story about the resurrection of a long-lost legendary racing Mustang which dates to the post-war Cleveland National Air Races. It’s now time to sit back and enjoy this remarkable story…
Record Setting Bendix Trophy Winner
Dakota Territory Air Museum’s P-51C Mustang Thunderbird
by Chuck Cravens
A ten year old boy paints a picture of a P-51 Mustang on his bedroom wall and dreams that he is in the cockpit, swooping through a cathedral of clouds at 400mph. Everyone intrigued with warbirds likely shared in this same fantasy at some point during childhood, but for most, flying a Mustang will always elude us. But this story concerns more than wistful aspirations, it is about how that same 10 year old boy made his dream a reality. Looking up at his wall, a young Warren Pietsch vowed that someday he would own and fly a P-51… but he couldn’t do it alone.
Warren’s father, Al Pietsch, owned Pietsch Flying Service in Minot, North Dakota, and Warren was fortunate to grow up in the family aviation business. In the 1990’s Warren took ownership of the company and renamed it Pietsch Aircraft Restoration & Repair, Inc. which would eventually become Minot Aero Center. Warren’s father, his mother Eleanor, and brothers Gary and Kent, were all pilots and supported Warren’s flying career early on. Many others were also encouraging: Gary Johnson, a mechanic and pilot who began working for Warren’s dad in 1964 and now works for Warren; Don Larson, chairman of the Dakota Territory Air Museum; close friends Brian Sturm, Jay Blessum, and many others, played roles in Warren’s aviation story.
Over the years, as his experience and pilot qualifications expanded, Warren had the chance to fly warbirds, like the Mustang, with the Dakota Territory Air Museum and Texas Flying Legends. These opportunities arose because people in the warbird industry like Casey Odegaard, Bernie Vasquez, Doug Rozendaal, Dusty Dowd, and Forest Lovely all provided friendship, knowledge, encouragement, and/or training. Warren couldn’t have ventured down this path with Thunderbird without fellow dreamers like Gerry Beck and Bob Odegaard – it takes an industry to bring these aircraft back to life.
In 1999, Warren purchased what he believed to be a damaged P-51A in Scottsbluff, Nebraska. It was only later that he discovered that what he’d actually acquired were the mortal remains of Thunderbird, the iconic blue P-51C which Jimmy Stewart once flew in the Bendix Air Races just after WWII. This discovery, and the incredible history of this specific Mustang, began Warren’s journey to restore Thunderbird as a tribute to its legendary owners. Jimmy Stewart, Joe DeBona, Jackie Cochran, and Jim Cook. Thunderbird is truly a people’s airplane because of the many folks involved with the dream since the beginning, and those tasked with breathing life into the project.
For every warbird, the question of “why this particular airplane?” comes up. Once Warren learned that his Nebraskan purchase was Jimmy Stewart’s Thunderbird, this news alone was enough to inspire a tribute restoration. The modified P-51C’s history is ripe with accomplishments from air racing, to coronation tapes and speed records. In addition to Jimmy Stewart, Thunderbird’s story also includes household names from aviation and popular culture alike, names such as Jackie Cochran, Joe DeBona, and even Queen Elizabeth II.
Once completed, Thunderbird will look and feel very different to any presently airworthy, military-schemed Mustangs. She isn’t meant to be a “time capsule” aircraft with every detail and rivet precisely faithful to the original. Instead, the Thunderbird of today will honor its predecessor by retelling the Thunderbird story, and showing the public what the iconic aircraft looked like when she took part in the air races of yore.
The retelling of further aspects of Thunderbird’s rich history will come in subsequent updates through the families of the individuals associated with the aircraft, their memoirs, and with the help of the Society of Air Race Historians. We are excited to be a part of this incredible journey, as an iconic artifact of aviation history returns to life!
The Bendix Race
The striking color image which opens this article documents Joe DeBona’s triumphant landing after winning the 1949 Bendix Trophy Flight at the Cleveland National Air Races in Cleveland, Ohio. Thunderbird, with its gloss blue paint scheme, red Pegasus motif, and celebrity owners/pilots, continues to be one of the most recognizable Mustangs in the world. Four hours, sixteen minutes, and seventeen point five seconds before this photo was taken, DeBona had lifted off from the starting line at Rosamond Dry Lake, on the grounds of Muroc Air Force Base, (now Edwards Air Force Base) in California.
The 1949 Bendix Race marked the first time that a simultaneous racehorse start took place. The reasoning behind this method was that it would make it easier for spectators in Cleveland to follow the race. Six aircraft competed for the 1949 Bendix Trophy. Lifting off alongside DeBona were two other P-51Cs (both entered by Paul Mantz Air Services), a deHavilland Mosquito, a Martin B-26C Marauder, and a Republic AT-12 Guardsman.
The racers climbed to reach favorable winds at altitude and then continued their dash eastwards. The first entrant to drop out was Vince Perron in the AT-12. He had a slightly late start due to his engine underperforming as he began his initial takeoff run. While his team quickly resolved the issue, the engine troubles recurred over Colorado, so Perron withdrew from the race at Grand Junction.
Lee H. Cameron, in the Marauder, had fuel feed problems and had to land at North Platte, Nebraska. The problem involved the pumps which transferred fuel from the auxiliary tanks in the bomb bay. They resolved the issue after about an hour’s labor and took off again, but Cameron was unable to finish until after the race deadline passed.
While some of their rivals had mechanical issues, Paul Mantz Air Services’s two bright red P-51Cs and DeBona’s cobalt blue Thunderbird streaked on, extending their lead.
DeBona flew a precise course, helped by tailwinds estimated to average between 29 and 33 mph. DeBona would finish the race first, and set the piston-powered record for the Bendix Trophy air race in the process. The 1949 race covered 2,008 miles and marked the final time the Bendix involved piston-engined division, so DeBona’s record of 470.136 mph still stands today.
Eleven and twelve minutes after DeBona crossed the finish line, the scarlet Mantz Mustangs finished second and third, flown by Stanley Reaver and Herman “Fish” Salmon respectively. Reaver averaged 450.221 mph while Salmon came in at 449.214 mph. Donald Bussart, in the Mosquito, made a relatively routine, trouble-free flight averaging 343.757 mph, and landed at Cleveland in fourth place.
Thunderbird was a much modified P-51C but has no known U.S. Army Air Force serial number. The aircraft was built up with parts from three different airframes. Leland and Martha Cameron bought these post-war surplus parts to build and modify Thunderbird through their business, Allied Aircraft of Chicago, Illinois.
The Civil Aviation Administration file for Thunderbird states, “THIS AIRCRAFT WAS ASSEMBLED FROM COMPONENTS OF OTHER AIRCRAFT OF THE SAME TYPE.” This form designates the aircraft as a North American P-51C, Serial No. 2925, but the serial number appears to be fictional, as it fails to conform with any North American Aviation or USAAF Mustang serial number sequences.
Before issuing a registration to Cameron in 1948, the CAA questioned the bill of sale to Allied Aircraft, dated February 11th of that same year. According to a research summary of the CAA files which photographer and historian Malcolm Gougan performed, Cameron sent a letter of clarification to the CAA stating that his company purchased the aircraft’s parts from: The War Assets Administration, WAA Agents, U.S. Army or U.S. Navy, Wunderlich Contracting Co., and Sharp and Fellows, Inc.. Indeed, the Wunderlich Contracting Company had purchased all the surplus planes stored at Kingman Army Airfield (Martin Wunderlich had paid $2,780.00 for 5,483 planes) [Ref. Nicholas Veronico, A. Kevin Grantham, Scott Thompson, Military Aircraft Boneyards (MBI Publishing, Osceola, WI 2000,) p40]. As part of his clarification letter, Cameron also attached an invoice for the fuselage.
Many years later, as he conducted research for his co-authored book, Military Aircraft Boneyards, the aviation historian A. Kevin Grantham had the opportunity to speak to Leland Cameron about what he did in building up the plane; Cameron confirmed that Thunderbird’s fuselage had indeed come from Kingman, Arizona.
In the process of researching for Military Aircraft Boneyards Kevin Grantham and one of his co-authors, Nicholas Veronico, were able to establish that there was only one P-51C (actually an RF-6C-10-NT variant) at Kingman. This C-model Mustang carried USAAF serial number 44-10911, and they believe its fuselage is the one which ended up in Thunderbird. All subsequent registration documents designate the airplane as a P-51C, so the decision designating the aircraft as a “C” model was likely the easiest option due to the major modifications which the airframe underwent, and the aforementioned, fictitious serial number.
The CAA issued a registration certificate to Cameron for N5528N on April 5th, 1948. Two days later, Cameron sold N5528N to the Joe DeBona Racing Company, a partnership between Joe Debona and Jimmy Stewart, the legendary actor and B-24 pilot.
DeBona and Stewart
Over the following few months after the sale, Thunderbird underwent preparations for the upcoming 1948 Bendix Trophy Race. The mechanics removed many items surplus to requirements, such as the self-sealing fuel cells, and fuselage fuel tank, to reduce the aircraft’s weight. They also performed streamlining efforts, like installing fairings over the gun ports, filling airframe seams with putty and sanding them smooth, to reduce drag and increase speed. They also acquired and installed an experimental high speed propeller which North American Aviation had tested during WWII.
Thunderbird then received 48 coats of primer and a beautiful, glossy cobalt blue livery. Polished to a high sheen, the paint job reportedly increased the aircraft’s speed by 8 mph.
While DeBona took part in the 1948 Bendix Trophy race, he had to drop out in Norwalk, Ohio just 63 miles from the Cleveland finish line due to fuel shortage. He did triumph in 1949, of course, and in December of that year, Jimmy Stewart (sole owner for Joe De Bona Racing Co.) sold Thunderbird to Jacqueline Cochran of Indio, California, for “$1.00 and other considerations”, and she went on to set three world speed records with the aircraft.
Jackie Cochran owned Thunderbird for just over three years before selling the aircraft back to Jimmy Stewart on January 20th, 1953, again for “$1.00 and other considerations.”
In successive updates, we will examine Thunderbird’s history after Jackie Cochran acquired her. We will also detail other fascinating aspects of this project, from the records set, to the many contributions from supporters in the aviation, warbird, and air racing communities.
The project is the culmination of Warren Pietsch’s dream. As already noted, he has long been fascinated by Thunderbird’s history. This dream involved creating a P-51C which represents Thunderbird’s unique history, and recognizes the many people who have influenced and helped Warren, in addition to highlighting the rich story of Thunderbird’s celebrity owners and record-setting flights.
Thunderbird isn’t intended to be a rivet-by-rivet restoration, but rather a “time capsule” restoration capturing a period in Mustang lore not currently represented by airworthy P-51s. The most important goal is to make this flying piece of aviation history a people’s airplane that everyone’s enjoyment – from Mustang and air racing enthusiasts, to air show attendees.
There is a great deal more historical information to relate, which we will unveil in the next update. Besides Jimmy Stewart and Joe DeBona, household names in aviation and popular culture such as Jackie Cochran, and even Queen Elizabeth II are part of Thunderbird’s unique story.
Warren Pietsch became involved in bringing Thunderbird back to life in 1999. Now two decades later, after years of gradual work taking place, Thunderbird arrived at AirCorps Aviation as a fuselage, empennage and a set of wings. The airframe was largely complete, structurally speaking, but still required systems and firewall forward installation, wiring, final paint and finish work. AirCorps will complete these remaining tasks to their usual, world-class standards. Thanks to the parts which Warren has collected over the past 15 years, the timeline to complete Thunderbird will be much shorter than a typical warbird restoration.
One of the real challenges in this restoration is determining the precise paint colors used in 1949, and duplicating all of the aircraft’s smaller exterior markings. While there are photographs from Thunderbird’s heyday, color photographs are not always an accurate match to original paint colors. Additionally, not every airframe aspect is visible in the photos we have, which makes it difficult to accurately verify marking placement and decals. Any help locating additional photographs would be very much appreciated.
Mustang enthusiasts will notice that the wing and some of the lower engine cowling chosen for this project come from a P-51D and don’t match the C-model fuselage. Ultimately, it was Warren’s choice to use the D-model wing, and this meant changing the lower cowl from the three-piece B/C model to the one piece D-model skin, due to the increased cant of that variant’s wing. The landing light position also moved from the wing leading edge to a location inside the landing gear well to produce less drag with the gear retracted.
One of the aspects affecting this choice to use a D-model wing relates to both safety and handling qualities. The later model wing has more robust and reliable landing gear and gear door systems. The B/C wing’s clamshell doors were lighter and had a single uplock, while the D gear doors have multiple locks which make cycling the gear more reliable. Additionally, there are documented instances of B/C doors tearing off in high speed dives, so North American re-engineered an updated system for the D model.
Interestingly, the early model clamshell doors on the original Thunderbird may have been what caused the aircraft to crash in June of 1955 when they closed out of sequence, jamming the main landing gear. The owner at the time, Joe Cook, elected to bail out rather than risk a landing in the wet-winged Mustang with the gear now protruding from the airframe.
In addition to improved gear doors, the D model wing also has stronger and more effective ailerons. A seal added to the aileron leading edges reduced stick pressure during hard maneuvering.
With all of the technical considerations and improvements which the D wing includes, electing to use this later style on Thunderbird made sense on paper. However, Warren already has extensive, real-world experience flying many different C and D model P-51s. He selected the D-model wing because he prefers the flying characteristics of that variant.
Fortunately, North American Aviation pioneered fitting a D wing on a B/C Mustang during the war. It was an idea the company built and tested, but never produced. The documentary existence of this factory-tested prototype made obtaining FAA approval for these major alterations far easier.
One of the areas which requires a lot of time in a Mustang restoration is the lower fuselage which comprises the air scoop, doghouse, radiator wrapper, and exit duct. These components house the radiator, oil cooler and exit door. Luckily, with Thunderbird, we had original parts for several of these major elements which required only minor restoration before we could fit them to the airframe.
Randy Carlson of Carlson Metal Shaping has done outstanding work assisting us with wing fairings and complex metal shapes. He is a specialist in the complexity of forming these tightly compound-curved pieces. This month, we will highlight his work on the wing fillets which blend the wings into the fuselage for a decrease in interference drag.
Organizing parts so restorers can easily find them and have everything they need for a particular assembly speeds the restoration process dramatically. | aerospace |

As a science fiction novel, it has little to recommend it. Its stodgy style, tortured dialog passages and primitive narrative structure are even worse than most other contemporary books of the genre--which did not set the bar very high themselves.
Elon Musk has unveiled plans for a new spacecraft that he says would allow his company SpaceX to colonise Mars, build a base on the moon, and allow commercial travel to. The manned exploration and settlement of Mars is discussed.
The topics considered include: the rationale for a manned landing; spaceships and propulsion for getting to Mars; human factors such as psychological stress, the effects of prolonged weightlessness, and radiation dangers; the return from Mars; site selection and relevant criteria; scientific problems that can be studied by landing men.
Mars One chief executive, Bas Lansdorp, left, announces the launch of astronaut selection for a Mars space mission project, in New York. Mars One is. Mars One releases book about the human aspects of Mars exploration. Tue, Febru - You may not be able to go to Mars yourself, but thanks to Mars One’s latest book, everyone can follow along as the first potential human settlers on Mars prepare for their mission.
With Mars One: Humanity’s Next Great Adventure, readers can step inside the experience of these astronaut pioneers as. There are a huge number of books out there covering space exploration, but in my opinion, very few that manage to combine definitive coverage with an exciting read.
So, here is my shortlist for books you should read if you want to enjoy finding out more about the history of manned space exploration. I’ve included Continue reading "History of Manned Spaceflight, The Essential Books.".
Von Braun had written an earlier book, The Mars Project, first published inin which he described the technical details for a ship expedition to Mars with 70 people (“men”).
The ships would be assembled in orbit at the space station, requiring ferry flights of. Manned Mars Exploration Requirements and Considerations, Morris V. Jenkins, NASA Manned Spacecraft Center, February Beyond Apollo chronicles space history through programs and.
A manned Mars mission would be incredibly expensive. NASA estimates peg the overall expenditures at about $ billion over 30 or 40 years, Sherwood said, but those numbers may be too low.
By when Von Braun was working for the US developing it’s rocket capability he had published the book “The Mars Project”. This has become probably the most influential book on the subject of manned mars missions, even though it was a rather grandiose scheme which called for a fleet of 10 spacecraft carrying 70 or more people.
As was the case 20 years ago, support for a manned Mars mission is highest among young adults aged 18 to 29 (65%) and lowest among adults aged 65 and older (46%).
But support has increased substantially among older adults -- as well as younger adults, to a smaller degree -- thus boosting the national average.

President Bush's top advisers are pressing him to commit the United States to a broad, ambitious agenda for exploration of space, including manned flights to the Moon and Mars.The shuttle would then be replaced by a new manned spacecraft, to be developed and tested by Between and the new spacecraft would be used to send astronauts back to the moon, where they would live and work for increasing periods.
We would then be ready for the next step—a human mission to Mars. This would be expensive.The Ph-D (Phobos-Deimos) mission involves the transfer of six to eight men (and women), including two medical scientists, from Earth orbit to Deimos, the outer satellite of Mars. There follows a sequential program of unmanned exploration of the surface of Mars by means of some ten to twenty unmanned rover vehicles, each of which returns Mars samples to the Deimos laboratory.

It sounds like something straight out of a post apocalyptic space thriller: NASA bombing the moon. This is not science fiction but reality, and it is happening today.
Starting around 4:30 a.m. on Friday morning, NASA began a series of impacts on the moon to ultimately test for traces of water. The craft being used is called the Lunar Crater Observation and Sensing Satellite, or LCROSS.
While bombing may not be the most precise word choice — because the actual process involves no explosives of the literal sense, but rather a high impact of the probe and its engines onto craters of the moon as to stir up moon dust that the probe will collect samples of — the mission has no doubt scared some people.
Skeptics are concerned about the permanent effect the mission will have on the moon environment.
Daniel Andrews, LCROSS project manager, assured the media in a press conference on Thursday that the mission will not have any long term destructive effects on the moon and that the impact is minute in relation to the moon. It will simply to stir up enough “dust” to obtain quality samples.
This is truly history in the making because if there is frozen water on the moon (as we found to be the case with Mars) then that heightens the possibility that one day humans could possibly inhabit Earth’s little sister. It would also give more validity to the U.S. space program returning to the moon in the near future.
NASA is streaming the mission live on NASA.gov and NASATV, but if you do not have a chance to catch the mission it is sure to be archived on NASA’s website and other media suppliers online. | aerospace |

1x Hubsan X4 Brushless H501S RC Quadcopter
No complaints as of yet
So far, so good. I’ve flown it about 8x and so far everything is functioning as advertised. This is my 1st FPV and I’m still getting to know it better. I haven’t pushed the range past around 80yds, or the alt beyond 150-200ft. Return to home, altitude hold, and position hold work well, handles moderate breezes. No wobble effect upon descent like the small X4’s. Can be landed gentle as a feather, I love that. The LEDs are nice and bright, easily visible. The FPV screen is clear and pretty bright, colors are pretty vivid. I’ll post more after more experience with it but no complaints as of yet.
Nice drone, but has issues
A must have, so easy to fly and excellent quality drone…..Until the 7th flight something went terribly wrong at takeoff. The drone went straight up and took off the other direction and I had no control over it. It just getting farther away, so I ran in that direction and flipped the return to home, but nothing worked. Sad to say it crashed somewhere and I never found my drone…Not happy
We love both love it
Got this for my boyfriend for his birthday. We love both love it! It’s the first drone we’ve flown and it is relatively easy to control once you get used to it. It can be a little more difficult to fly when it’s windy but I think that’s a fair assumption for most drones. Haven’t had a chance to use the camera yet but that’s next on our list. Giving it 4 stars only for the remote control. Not sure if this is specific only to the one we received but we put brand new batteries in 3 times now and it will only give us 1 bar on the battery so lasts roughly 1-2 flights.
Bought this for our youngest son’s Birthday/ Christmas present. Works as advertised, so far no crashes or negative issues.
You can’t beat the features for the price
An affordable priced GPS drone with great functions to get a novice flying quickly and an experienced one engaged. I like having a transmitter with a display (frees up your phone/tablet) and the video and pics are pretty good.
love it it,s fun to fly and seems to hold up well
Very happy with the drone! My son LOVES it!
Best drone for the money.
When I received this drone I didn’t fly it for 2 weeks I was afraid I’d crash it or lose it. Lol. I watched ever video I could fine before I finally took it out to fly. Here goes this is the best drone I’ve owned and I have 8 total but none of them are this nice. This thing is load right out of the box and if I can use it and make it fly anyone can. I now have the white and black one. I’m a rookie at drones but I love this one. I haven’t used customer support because I haven’t needed them so I can’t review that. I work hard for my money and I was worried I was wasting it on this drone. Boy was I wrong!!! P.S. I bought one on amazon for 250 or so but I found the same one on Banggood for 196 dollars but it takes about 30 days to get it from China. Amazon? 2 days. | aerospace |

- Several flights have been diverted, causing widespead chaos.
- Passenger Manoel Gerlach took a video of his Singapore Airlines flight after it was diverted.
- A bomb cyclone winter storm is associated with extremely strong winds.
UPDATE: Friday 5 January, 10:51AM
A passenger on a Norwegian flight from Gatwick bound for JFK has complained of chaos following a diversion to Dulles Airport in Washington DC due to the bomb cyclone winter storm.
Olivia Mullaney, 26, told Express.co.uk: “We were told an hour before landing we were diverted to Washington DC, then left on the tarmac for four hours with no food or water offered.
“People are obviously going crazy at this. The airport staff for other airlines told us there were no Norwegian reps in the whole airport as they don’t usually fly there.
“Our bags can’t be unloaded as they have no relationships with any ground staff or handlers.”
Friday 5 January, 9:00AM
Watch a video which shows the effect of the New York bomb cyclone winter snow storm on a flight forced to abort its landing.
The Singapore Airline flight was scheduled to land in New York’s JFK Airport in the USA, but had to be diverted to the smaller Stewart Airport instead due to the extreme freak weather.
The plane in the video is said to be an Airbus A380 model – the largest passenger jet in the world.
However, the aircraft was no match for the strong winds and massive blizzard.
The video, taken by passenger Manoel Gerlach, who showed it on Twitter, at first shows a plane packed with people.
The film maker travels towards one of the windows, displaying a view of the plane’s wing which is sprinkled with white snow.
All that can be seen of the outside world is a snow storm obscuring the ground and sky.
“Currently on SQ26, A380, diverted to SWF due to weather. Sitting on tarmac,” tweeted Manoel from the plane.
He later tweeted an update: “A380 was moved. Now closer to terminal.
“Waiting for stairs and busses. Everyone still on the plane as of 5:05p.
“People remain polite but are ready to get off the plane, knowing that immigration might take a long time.”
What is a bomb cyclone?
A bomb cyclone, which is also know as a “weather bomb” or “bombgenesis”, is a storm formation which occurs when a rising column of air exits a low pressure area on the surface of the Earth.
It causes extremely powerful winds to develop around the area, which are strongest at the centre.
Earlier this week, a viral video showed Storm Eleanor winds prevent a BA plane from landing on the runway.
The terrifying video shows the pilot try and fail to battle the strong winds in order to bring the passenger plane to the ground for landing.
The plane is instead forced to take off again into the sky rather than land on the runway.

Here’s the story of another adventure … for which I will use the related airport codes for fun – and another story in the future !
The flight was due to leave Cambridge Bay (YCB) at 2:00 p.m. to go to Yellowknife (YZF) and there connect with another flight going to Edmonton (YEG). The flight coming into YCB – to turn around and go out again – was delayed in YZF due to a mechanical problem with the aircraft. A problem quite common since the airline has a small, aging fleet of specialty 737s called Combis as they are configured to carry cargo and passengers in the main cabin of the aircraft (see my previous posting when I flew into YCB in early February.)
In YCB you always call the airport to find out if the plane is on time – or even coming ! – before driving out – even though the airport is only 4km from town ! I was advised not to check in until later as the new ETD was 3:30 pm – so at least I didn’t have to sit waiting at the airport.
Upon check-in at 2:45 we were advised that the flight would now only be landing at 3:40 and turned around as quickly as possible. We were also given a letter from the YCB station manager apologizing for the delay and offering a $ 100.00 travel credit – not that significant in relation to the average price of $ 1,700.00 for a one-way ticket !
Knowing that the turn-around time in YCB is usually at least 30 minutes I figured a departure of around 4:10 which would not get us to YZF in time to connect to the flight to YEG at 5:10 pm, so I asked the obvious question. Together with four other passengers connecting to that flight we were told that it would be held for us.
The plane only arrived after 4:00 and at about 4:30 we were called back to the check-in counter and advised by the clerk that because we would be so late in leaving YCB now the flight from YZF would not be held for us ! She advised that there were no other options to get to YEG that night so we had two choices – and what did we want to do :
a. Stay in Cambridge Bay and fly out on Sunday on the same routing or
b. Fly to YZF now and overnight there at our OWN expense
You can imagine our incredulity at hearing these options and thought that she must have been mistaken in what information she had been given to pass on to us. We were subsequently advised to board the flight to YZF and that things would be dealt with there. So we finally took off at 4:50 and we landed at YZF at around 6:15 no knowing what to expect there as we had not be given any updates en route.
In YZF there was further disbelief for all us connecting passengers. As we were walking from disembarkation of the YCB flight to the terminal, the plane for YEG was just taxiing out to the runway to take off ! Inside the terminal we were again advised that there were no other options to get to YEG except on the same flight on Sunday – 24 hours later. (There were other flights with other airlines on Saturday evening and Sunday morning but they were either already full or our airline did not have an inter-line agreement with them to be able to switch us over !) We were given vouchers for the overnight stay at the Explorer Hotel and for meals, but no other compensation offered !
I suppose that this could have been called a mis-adventure but it did turn into another adventure – as I will write in my next posting.
A Royal Canadian Airforce C-17 which was sitting on the ground at the Yellowknife airport when we arrived. This plane has actually been ferrying troops and supplies from the big military base in YZF to a field base in YCB where a military exercise is in progress. I had seen it flying over Cambridge Bay but not had a chance to see it close-up.
Officially called the Boeing C-17 Globemaster III the aircraft was developed to replace the famous cargo workhorse the Hercules. The C-17 weighs 128 metric tons empty, can carry a payload of 77 metric tons and the base price is $ 220 million !! To me it looked like a jumbo jet. | aerospace |

Titanium alloys have the following characteristics:
(1) High strength: By adding alloy elements, the intensity of titanium alloys can be significantly improved.
(2) Good toughness: titanium alloys can maintain good toughness at low temperatures, which makes them an ideal material choice in many applications.
(3) Corrosion resistance: titanium alloys have good corrosion resistance against many common chemical substances, such as acids, alkalis, salts, etc.
(4) High-temperature performance: titanium alloys can maintain good mechanical properties at high temperatures.
How are the strength and toughness of titanium alloys balanced?
The strength and toughness of titanium alloys can be balanced by adjusting the composition of the alloy and the heat treatment process. Generally speaking, increasing the content of alloying elements in titanium alloys can increase their strength but may reduce their toughness. Therefore, in the manufacturing process of titanium alloys, the strength and toughness requirements of the alloy need to be outright considered to determine the optimal alloy composition and heat treatment process.
In addition, the strength and toughness of titanium alloys are also closely related to their microstructure. For example, by controlling parameters such as grain size, phase composition, and microstructure of titanium alloys, its strength and toughness properties can be optimized.
In general, titanium alloys' balance of strength and toughness requires careful consideration of alloy composition, heat treatment process, microstructure, and other factors to achieve optimal performance.
Improving the corrosion resistance of titanium alloys can be achieved by the following methods:
(1) Surface treatment: The material can be effectively protected from corrosion by forming a dense oxide film or coating on the surface of titanium alloys.
(2) Alloy optimization: By adjusting the alloy composition, the corrosion resistance of titanium rafting can be changed. For example, increasing aluminum content can increase resistance to pitting corrosion.
(3) Heat treatment: Appropriate heat treatment can change the microstructure of titanium alloys, thereby improving its corrosion resistance.
(4) Coating protection: Coating technologies, such as electroplating, spraying, etc., can form a protective film on the surface of titanium alloys to prevent the penetration of corrosive media.
As a high-performance metal material, Titanium alloys have been widely used in many fields because of their high strength, good toughness and corrosion resistance. By regulating the alloy composition and heat treatment process, it is possible to maintain good toughness while ensuring strength and improving its corrosion resistance. The application of these technologies provides a broader space for the development of titanium alloys in aerospace, medical, chemical and other fields.

A Daher TBM 930 turboprop single piloted by Dierk Reuter and Phil Bozek completed a record-setting flight from New York to Paris on Saturday in an attempt to break a speed record held since 1985 by famed test pilot Chuck Yeager. The record must be verified by organizations such as the National Aeronautics Association and the Fédération Aéronautique Internationale.
The flight departed Westchester County Airport (HPN) in White Plains, New York, on Saturday shortly after midnight local time and landed at Le Bourget Airport (FPB) in Paris about 8 hours 35 minutes later. Pilots Reuter and Bozek worked with officials on both sides of the Atlantic in preparation to attempt to beat the record in the C1e category (turboprop aircraft with an mtow of less than 13,200 pounds/6,000 kg).
The aircraft, owned by Reuter, was fitted with an additional fuel tank to carry an additional 300 gallons of jet fuel. This brought total usable fuel to 600 gallons, providing more than 10 hours of flight time. The FAA provided a permit to allow for a takeoff weight of 9,500 pounds, which is an increase from the TBM 930’s certified mtow of 7,398 pounds. Further, the aircraft was equipped with an Iridium Go! in-flight tracking device.
Reuter, a Chicago-based global finance executive, previously owned a TBM 850 for a decade before his current 930. Half of his 4,500 flight hours have accrued during his time in his two TBM aircraft. This included a trip to Antarctica in December. Bozek, a Michigan-based entrepreneur and real estate investor who flies aerobatic missions and collects warbirds, has logged 800 hours in his TBM 900, boosting his total time to 3,400 hours.
HPN Tower advised us of expected air traffic delays and re-routes for Thanksgiving week traffic heading for Palm Beach (KPBI) due to expected VIP issues. ATC Traffic management has told the Tower that Oceanic routes would be given to airline traffic only, with all other traffic destined to PBI needing to file on J48.
Those not filing on J48 can expect re-routes onto that airway.
Any operators with questions can contact HPN ATCT Operations Supervisor Demisha Vega at 914-948-6520.
Westchester County Executive George Latimer

Recipients were announced at the 3rd Annual WAA Safety Day Conference
White Plains, NY – June 25, 2018 – The Westchester Aviation Association, a non-profit organization representing general aviation at Westchester County Airport and Academy of Aviation, a flight school located at the airport, awarded two scholarships in the amount of $3,000 and $7,000 at last Wednesday’s WAA Safety Day Conference to Adam Delitta of Mamaroneck, NY and Luc Piderman of Stamford, CT.
Luc Piderman was awarded the $7,000 scholarship. Luc is already an instrument rated private pilot and works at Westchester County Airport as an Airport Operations Supervisor. He plans to use the scholarship toward achieving his commercial and CFI certificates with a goal of becoming a Captain for a regional airline within the next 5 years.
Adam Delitta was awarded the $3,000 scholarship. He is a Junior at Rye Neck High School in Mamaroneck and Cadet Commander for a local Civil Air Patrol squadron. Adam plans to use the scholarship toward achieving his private pilot license and eventually to offer flight instruction to other Civil Air Patrol cadets who are interested in becoming pilots.
The scholarships were named in honor of Bill Weaver, a founding partner of Westair a fixed base operator at the airport, which is now Million Air. Bill has been a long-time, esteemed member of the Westchester Aviation Association and has been an active supporter of general aviation at Westchester County Airport for many years.
“We were pleasantly surprised with the number of applications we received for the Bill Weaver Aviation Scholarships and very impressed with the quality of the applicants,” said WAA President Eric Faulkner. “The WAA is extremely pleased to be able to assist these two aspiring pilots with the financial means to achieve their aviation goals,” continued Mr. Faulkner.
This bill sets limitations on methods to control wildlife in and around airports and may compromise the effectiveness of these efforts.
Bill S.6853-A (DeFrancisco) that addresses this critical problem passed the Senate but no longer has a companion in the Assembly. Assembly bill A.8646-B (Hunter) that previously matched the Senate bill has been amended, rendering its provisions ineffective in restoring these safety measures at many of the state’s commercial and general aviation airports.
NYAMA urges the Assembly to recognize the vital importance of this legislation to public safety and to support the Senate bill S.6853-A or, in the alternative, the amendments proposed for A.8646-B
Westchester Aviation Association is a non-profit organization.

Katherine Johnson at NASA Langley Research Center in 1971. (Source NASA)
Today, November 24, President Barack Obama awards the Presidential Medal of Freedom, considered the nation’s highest civilian honor, to 17 men and women. Among them is 97-year-old retired African-American NASA mathematician Katherine G. Johnson, selected for her contributions to the space program, starting with the Mercury missions in the ‘50s and early ‘60s, through the Apollo moon missions in the late ’60s and early ‘70s, and ending with the space shuttle missions in the mid ’80s. Among other things, she calculated the trajectories of America’s first manned mission into orbit and the first Moon landing.
Awarding Johnson this well-deserved honor doesn’t just shine a spotlight on a single black female STEM pioneer. It also illuminates an obscure but important piece of history. Johnson was just one of dozens of mathematically talented black women recruited to work as “human computers” at the Langley Memorial Research Laboratory in the ‘40s and ‘50s.
They were so named because before machines came along, they crunched the numbers necessary for figuring out everything from wind tunnel resistance to rocket trajectories to safe reentry angles.
In fact, all of Langley’s hundreds of “human computers,” whether black or white, were women. It was an era when, as Johnson put it, “the computer wore a skirt.”…

Although my
airplane - a Van's RV-8 - is long out of Phase I, I am taking
it through several flight test cards because it's fun, because I
want to establish critical performance values myself, and
because I've installed a slightly heavier battery in the
aft battery compartment and a Rieff Turbo engine pre-heateing system
in the engine compartment.
At the moment, the list of Flight Tests I want to execute are:
In addition to performing the tests and capturing and reducing the data
I also want to explore different Flight Data Recorder
ideas/options. This includes the Foreflight Track Logger as
well as possible Arduino and/or Raspberry Pi implementations.
Back To Main
The purpose of this test flight was to use the Foreflight Track Logger during some wind speed and direction
determination circles at 5000 and 8000 feet as well as during the performance of several aerobatic maneuvers
(aileron roll, loop aileron roll). The idea was to determine if the data rates and accuracy of the Foreflight
Track Logger is sufficient for capturing flight test data. | aerospace |

Embarking on the flight path to their future, Mt. Vernon High School seniors Maria Downs and Tyler Black are soaring through an aviation operations course exposing them to a variety of related careers.
Maria and Tyler are among 17 juniors and seniors currently enrolled in the school’s aviation operations course. Both entered the class with a general interest in aviation but no specific career objective in mind. That was before:
- they talked with Blue Angels pilots at the Crossroads Airshow
- a Republic Airlines pilot described his work in detail for them
- they experienced a LIFT Academy flight simulator
- they visited the Indianapolis International Airport control tower
- Maria and other female students heard personal stories of various careers during Women in Aviation Day
All of these experiences are part of the aviation course held at Mt. Vernon High School.
Now, after one semester of the class, Maria and Tyler have their sights set on careers as pilots.
Maria shared, “This sealed that this is definitely what I want to be in. It has taught me that I don’t want to be an air traffic controller or anything that’s not actually in the air.”
And even though the course does not actually put students into flight situations, its introduction to such key concepts as aerodynamics, weight and balance, physiology, cross-country flight planning, weather, and decision-making skills has led Tyler to a similar conclusion.
“We’ve learned all the different (career) routes you can take. She (aviation instructor Katelin Nading) has exposed us to all of them,” Tyler said. “Without this class, I’d have no idea what to do.” While he previously had considered flight engineering, Tyler is now drawn to pilot training, even applying to the Air Force Academy for a possible pathway in military aviation.
Herein lies the value of Career and Technical Education (CTE) courses: helping students evaluate career options, providing certification opportunities and several dual credits through Ivy Tech, while also preparing them for success in the field they ultimately select.
While Maria and Tyler are focusing on careers in the cockpit, other aviation students - drawn from three nearby high schools in addition to Mt. Vernon - may well pursue training as flight engineers, air transportation workers, airfield management personnel, air traffic controllers, or flight operation managers.
Employees in all these specialized fields are in demand, in keeping with Indiana’s Next Level Programs of Study objective to develop a skilled and ready workforce for available jobs among high school students.
Students across Hancock County will have an even greater opportunity to prepare for CTE careers when HC3 (Hancock County Career Center) opens at the Amplify Hancock Innovation Center in the fall of 2026. This high school career center will consolidate aviation and numerous other career pathways into a centralized location engineered built specifically for CTE classes. The HC3 will serve all four of the county’s public school districts and will be led by Stan Wilkison, who is currently the assistant principal at Mt. Vernon High School.
In the meantime, students are making the most of the growing menu of CTE offerings at Mt. Vernon High School, including the opportunity to earn dual credit through courses - such as aviation - offered in cooperation with Ivy Tech. All available courses for Hancock County high school students can be found at https://mvhs.mvcsc.k12.in.us/pathways.
While aviation instructor Nading expects the aviation program to grow and expand, she also says it already achieves the goal of generating student interest and knowledge for future careers. “It's amazing,” she said, “to see students who really did not think this career track would be realistic for them at the beginning of the year growing into confident, enthusiastic budding aviators.” | aerospace |

It weighs 80,000 tons fully laden, and can move through the water at speeds greater than 55 MPH. It carries about 5,000 people, and between 75 and 100 aircraft. Below are photos of the types of aircraft it carried during the three years I spent aboard it from 1966-1969. My job was to help launch the planes from the catapults.
Day after day, night after night, the planes would roll up onto the "cat", laden with bombs, rockets, missiles, napalm, and thousands of rounds of bullets, their engines screaming in my ears as I crawled under them, between the bombs, to hook up the launching gear. We worked on a reverse rotating schedule, an hour earlier each day, and flight ops were practically always 12 hours from the first launch to the last recovery. Prep time and secure time always took another 3-4 hours, especially if we had maintenance or repairs to do.
I think the one single thing that got to me the most was Christmas Eve, 1967, when they were playing Christmas Carols on the ships speaker system, and dropping bombs at the same time. "Joy to the world", and here's another bomb. It took me many years to understand that one. How could a person/government say they want peace on Earth, and kill someone at the same time? Perhaps there's a lesson for us all here, in claiming our dark side. If someone was inflicting bodily harm on one of your family members, COULD you kill that person to keep peace and safety in your family? Yes, you could, although you might not choose to.
"Ol' Slowpoke" AD-1 Skyraider
We called this plane Ol' Slowpoke because it was the slowest plane in the Navy during the Vietnam War. It was also known as "Spad". Slow as it was, it could carry its own weight in armament, and because of its rotary engine, it was invulnerable to heat seeking missiles. It could also out maneuver almost any jet, and could take off from the deck without the aid of a catapult.
This aircraft was especially suited for air to ground missile attacks and light bombing runs. During the USS Pueblo incident in 1968, this plane carried nuclear warheads and had designated targets in North Korea.
The phantom was the cream of the crop as far as fighters went. It was highly maneuverable and extremely fast for that era, making it a formidable offensive and defensive weapon.
This aircraft was light and fairly fast, though not nearly as fast as the Phantom. It sailed with us on my second tour, and was phased out afterwards.
The A6 was the beginning of electronics-supported aircraft in Vietnam. It was technically a bomber, but was also used for radar jamming of Vietnamese missile sites. Some of these were so specialized that machine guns and cannons were never installed.
See the person under the left wing of the plane? That was my job.
The A3 was designed to be a bomber, but was modified to be a refueler, an electronics warfare aircraft, and a surveillance aircraft. | aerospace |

Two people briefed on the matter informed Reuters that an FAA test pilot throughout a simulator check final week was operating scenarios in search of to deliberately activate the MCAS stall-prevention system. During one activation it took an prolonged interval to get well the stabilizer trim system that’s used to manage the plane, the folks said. That could push the aircraft downward, in accordance with two sources acquainted with the testing, a difficulty that’s anticipated to further delay the plane’s return to service.
An FAA spokesperson wouldn’t verify the particular concern, but informed CNN that “the FAA’s process is designed to find and spotlight potential dangers. The FAA recently discovered a potential threat that Boeing is required to mitigate.” In preparation for the airplane’s return to service, Boeing and the FAA are also working out particulars of further coaching for 737 MAX pilots, which could embrace additional simulator time, the sources said. A new flaw has been found within pixel 3xl desk wallpapers the computer system for the Boeing 737 Max that could push the airplane downward, according to two sources conversant in the testing, a problem that is anticipated to further delay the aircraft’s return to service. A new flaw has been discovered in the computer system for the Boeing 737 Max that could push the plane downward, in accordance with two sources acquainted with the testing, an issue that’s anticipated to further delay the aircraft’s return to service.
In simulator exams, government pilots found that a microprocessor failure could push the nose of the plane toward the ground. Apr. 10—A minor change in Boeing’s 737 MAX manufacturing course of that was insufficiently vetted caused an electrical system downside that on Friday temporarily grounded more than 60 of the aircraft — out of almost 200 MAXs which have returned to service since December. A minor change in Boeing’s 737 MAX manufacturing course of that was insufficiently vetted triggered an electrical system problem that on Friday temporarily grounded greater than 60 of the aircraft — out of just about 200 MAXs that have returned to service since December. Boeing has so many grounded 737 Max planes it has to park them within the employee parking lotBoeing has continued to produce the 737, which was grounded internationally after a collection of fatal crashes, forcing the corporate to get creative.
Nevertheless, the sheer accumulation of manufacturing, design and high quality problems at Boeing over the past two years has badly damaged its status for technical excellence. On March 29, an American Airlines 737 MAX, flying from Miami to Santo Domingo in the Dominican Republic with one hundred thirty five passengers and 6 crew aboard was forced to turn again when the horizontal stabilizer system failed. Boeing spokesperson Jessica Kowal said the defect potentially impacts the reliability of the part. And in a previously unreported downside, Boeing recently found a potential defect in a batch of 20 to forty motors that move the horizontal stabilizer on all 737s, together with the MAX and earlier models.
Boeing is going through yet one more problem with its 737 Max planes after reporting an electrical fault on a specific group of jets. A hardware fix might add new delays to the plane’s return to service. In a separate assertion, Boeing said addressing the brand new problem would remove a possible source of uncommanded movement by the plane’s stabilizer.
“It is inevitable that at some time in the future, a Boeing 737 MAX will turn back to its originating airport, divert, or land at its vacation spot with an actual or suspected in-flight downside,” Dickson mentioned then. “While these occasions could be inconvenient and unsettling to passengers, they occur just about every day.” Kowal said Boeing is constant “to evaluate any potential impact to the 737 NG fleet.” Five months later, Ethiopian Airlines flight ET302 crashed minutes after take-off from Addis Ababa.
It was not clear if the state of affairs that resulted in an uncommanded dive can be addressed with a software replace or if it’s a microprocessor issue that will require a hardware substitute. Boeing’s plane are being subjected to intense scrutiny and testing designed to catch flaws even after a years-long certification process. “Boeing will not supply the 737 MAX for certification by the FAA till we have glad all necessities for certification of the MAX and its secure return to service,” Boeing wrote within the filing.
They may even have to inspect of hundreds of them and up to 450 could require repairs. Aircraft design requires compromises, because it’s required to find a way to save weight. So utilizing something just like the rivets as a ground path might be just nice, but the caveats are in upkeep and bearing that design consideration in mind on all future revs. The FAA launched an up to date statement on the 737 MAX Wednesday evening stating that they “recently found a possible risk that Boeing must mitigate” as they evaluate updates to the Boeing 737 MAX software program. A collection of simulator flights to test new software program developed by Boeing revealed the flaw, in accordance with one of many sources. United stated it is “working to swap out plane to reduce the impression to our prospects” and is working with Boeing and the FAA “to find out any further steps which are wanted to make sure these plane meet our rigorous security standards.” | aerospace |

1. Space is a three-dimensional continuum containing positions and directions.
Space is an endless, three-dimensional playground where all the events and objects in the universe find their place and direction. It’s more than just up, down, or sideways; it’s everywhere, and when you add time to the mix, it becomes spacetime.
This vast stage is where every space fact comes to life, showing us where things are and how they move in this grand expanse.
2. A full NASA space suit costs $12,000,000.
A full NASA spacesuit costs an astonishing $12,000,000. Tested in North Dakota’s badlands, the suit weighs 47 pounds without its life support backpack. Surprisingly, the gloves are the most expensive part.
Designing these suits is complex; they’re essentially personal spacecraft, equipped with advanced life support and safety systems, justifying their hefty price tag.
3. After the Big Bang, space was dense, hot plasma, rapidly expanding.
Right after the Big Bang, space was a seething cauldron of hot, dense plasma, expanding swiftly. In this early chaos, temperatures were so extreme that not even atoms or their nuclei could stay intact, creating a soup of quarks and gluons.
From a tiny, infinitely dense point, space itself stretched outward faster than light, cooling down to form the vast universe we explore today, about 13.7 billion years ago.
4. Hubble Space Telescope can see back in time to 13.4 billion years ago.
Launched in 1990, the Hubble Space Telescope has revolutionized our view of the universe, capturing stunning images of distant galaxies and nebulae. Its powerful lens allows us to look back in time to about 13.4 billion years ago, just after the Big Bang.
Hubble’s contributions to science are immense, with over 15,000 published papers and 738,000 citations, making it an invaluable tool for astronomers.
5. Nobody knows how many stars are there in space.
Estimating the universe’s vastness, astronomers suggest there might be around 200 billion trillion stars, making space a realm of endless wonder. This number comes from multiplying the Milky Way’s stars by the galaxies we know exist.
Yet, despite these deep space facts, the true star count remains a mystery, showcasing the universe’s incomprehensible scale and beauty.
6. Space-time began with the Big Bang, as per the theory of general relativity.
Albert Einstein’s general theory of relativity, formulated in 1916, revolutionized our understanding of space and the universe’s origins. It suggests that space-time, the fabric of the cosmos, began with the Big Bang.
This theory, with its elegant mathematical framework, explains how matter influences space-time’s curvature, leading to the conclusion that the universe is not static but expanding.
7. Why can’t sound travel in space?
Space is silent because it’s a vacuum with no air for sound to travel through. While you can’t hear anything in the emptiness of space, astronauts can still talk to each other using radios.
This is because radio waves, unlike sound, don’t need air to move, allowing communication across the vast, quiet expanse of space.
8. Space has a water cloud with 140 trillion times Earth’s ocean water.
One of the creepy facts about space is the existence of a colossal water vapor cloud, floating 12 billion light-years away, surrounding a quasar.
This cloud holds 140 trillion times the mass of all Earth’s oceans combined, making it the universe’s largest known water reservoir. Astonishingly, it weighs more than 40 billion times the weight of Earth.
9. The International Space Station circles Earth every 92 minutes.
The International Space Station (ISS) orbits Earth every 92 minutes at a speed of 17,150 miles per hour, allowing its crew to experience 16 sunrises and sunsets each day.
Home to an international crew of seven, the ISS completes 16 orbits of Earth in 24 hours, providing a unique perspective on the planet and the cosmos beyond.
10. The first woman in space was a Russian called Valentina Tereshkova.
Valentina Tereshkova, a Soviet cosmonaut, made history as the first woman in space on 16 June 1963, launching from Baikonur Cosmodrome, Kazakhstan. During her solo mission on Vostok 6, she orbited Earth 48 times and spent nearly three days in space.
Known by her radio nickname “Chaika,” meaning seagull, Tereshkova paved the way for women in space exploration.
11. What was the first soft drink in space?
Another lesser-known space fact is Coca-Cola holds the title of the first commercial soft drink consumed in space. This milestone occurred in 1985 when astronauts aboard the Space Shuttle Challenger used a specially designed Coca-Cola Space Can.
Following this, the Space Shuttle Discovery featured the first-ever ‘Space Dispenser,’ further cementing Coca-Cola’s place in space exploration history during a memorable moment on NASA’s STS-63 mission.
12. In 4 billion years, the Milky Way and Andromeda galaxies will collide in space.
In about 4 billion years, the Milky Way and Andromeda galaxies are set to collide, an event-driven by gravity’s pull. This cosmic encounter, taking hundreds of millions of years to complete, will likely move our sun to a new region of the galaxy.
However, scientists say that Earth and our solar system are expected to remain safe throughout this monumental galactic merger.
13. The largest known asteroid in space is 965 km (600 mi) wide.
Ceres, the largest known asteroid with a diameter of 965 kilometers (600 miles), orbits the sun in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter.
Discovered by G. Piazzi on January 1, 1801, Ceres makes up over one-third of the total mass of all asteroids, roughly one-quarter the size of the Moon, highlighting its significance in our solar system’s asteroid population.
14. The boundary of the solar system is known as the Oort cloud.
The Oort Cloud, a vast spherical shell surrounding our solar system, marks its boundary. This immense region, filled with icy debris ranging from mountain-sized objects to larger ones, potentially holds billions or trillions of celestial bodies.
Beyond it lies interstellar space, a realm within our galaxy not occupied by stars or planets but filled with cosmic rays, gas, and dust.
15. There is a planet made entirely of diamonds in space, called 55 Cancri e.
55 Cancri e, discovered in 2004 and located 40 light-years away in the Cancer constellation, is a diamond planet worth 26.9 nonillion dollars. Orbiting its star every 18 hours, it’s tidally locked, with one side always facing the star and the other in darkness.
Despite its molten surface making it uninhabitable, it presents a fascinating aspect of cosmic discoveries.
16. The International Space Station (ISS) is about as wide as a soccer field.
The International Space Station (ISS), with its completion, spans approximately 109 meters by 74 meters, making it slightly larger than a soccer field. Weighing around 420,000 kilograms, equivalent to over 330 cars, its size is comparable to an American football field including the end zones.
This massive structure orbits Earth, serving as a hub for international space exploration and research.
17. Space contains a cosmic neutrino background.
Another interesting fact about space is the existence of the cosmic neutrino background, a sea of low-energy neutrinos that fills the universe. These relic neutrinos, remnants from one second after the Big Bang, now drift through space at a chilly 1.95 K.
With an astonishing density of 336 neutrinos per cm³, they rarely interact with matter, making them elusive cosmic messengers.
18. Do astronauts get taller in space?
Astronauts experience a height increase of up to 3% in microgravity, as observed by NASA. This phenomenon is due to the body’s adaptation to the weightless environment of space.
The change typically happens within the first few days of reaching space, meaning a 6-foot-tall individual could gain up to 2 inches in height during their stay in orbit.
19. If two same types of metal touch in space, they will permanently bond.
One of the mind-blowing facts about space is the phenomenon of cold welding, where two pieces of the same type of metal will permanently bond if they touch in the vacuum of space.
This happens because, without air or moisture, the metal atoms share electrons and fuse, assuming their surfaces are clean and free of oxides or impurities.
20. Massive stars end their lives through supernova explosions in space.
This process not only disperses new atomic nuclei but also forms a glowing remnant. Stars between nine and 50 solar masses may end this way, while larger stars might collapse directly into black holes
21. A rose was brought to space in 1998 to see if it would yield new scents.
In 1998, the ‘Overnight Scentsation’ rose was sent to space aboard the shuttle Discovery, leading to an intriguing discovery. In low gravity, it produced a new, more floral scent, different from its Earth-grown counterpart.
This scent was later used in Shiseido’s Zen perfume and Unilever’s Impulse body spray, showcasing how space can alter a flower’s fragrance.
22. Space between galaxies is still expanding due to the Big Bang.
The space between galaxies is continuously expanding, a momentum originating from the Big Bang, further accelerated by dark energy. While galaxies, stars, and planets remain unchanged in size, the expanding universe carries galaxies apart.
This expansion means we observe galaxies moving away from us in every direction, illustrating the universe’s constant, accelerating growth.
Can you see stars in space?
In space, without Earth’s atmosphere to obstruct the view, stars can be seen clearly. The absence of atmospheric scattering allows stars to shine more brightly, offering a spectacular view of the cosmos with countless stars visible.
Can time exist without space?
Time cannot exist without space, according to our current understanding of physics. Both are fundamentally linked in the fabric of the universe, known as spacetime, where space provides the context for events to occur in time.
Why space is dark?
Space is dark because it is mostly empty, lacking surfaces to reflect light. Light travels through space until it hits an object or is absorbed. Without enough nearby light sources, vast areas of space appear dark.
What is the International Space Station?
The International Space Station (ISS) is a habitable artificial satellite that orbits Earth. It serves as a space environment research laboratory where scientific research is conducted in astrobiology, astronomy, meteorology, physics, and other fields by international crews.
What is space-time curvature?
Space-time curvature is a fundamental idea in Einstein’s theory of general relativity, explaining how gravity is not a force between masses but rather the effect of masses curving space-time, which objects then move through, leading to what we observe as gravitational attraction. | aerospace |

December 2018 saw the inaugural expedition of a group of BGS and SMS student to the USA for a STEM immersion. 10 students ranging in age from 16 to 18 had the opportunity to visit the Kennedy Space Centre in Orlando, USA.
Here they experienced working on a space ship under the influence of zero gravity, they problem solved emergency procedures using coding on Mars and the conducted actual research on which plants are the most effective to grow on Mars for future colonisation expeditions.
We saw an actual Saturn rocket and were amazed at the actual size and we touched real moon rock! We toured the launch sites including that for the SpaceX rockets and sadly, just missed out on seeing a live launch – the launch was delayed due to the contamination of the food for the mice experiments. We met astronaut Anna Fisher who said she would be happy to come to Melbourne if we invited her!
Following Orlando Florida we went to San Francisco to investigate the engineering of the Golden Gate Bridge and Explore the USS Hornett. This was the ship that was used to recover the Apollo 11 astronauts when they landed after first standing on the moon in 1969.
Finally, a visit to LA for an immersion in physics at the Knott’s Berry Farm rollercoaster park – and priority riding of the roller coasters! We couldn’t go to LA without a visit to Disneyland and Universal Studios – think Space Mountain and Harry Potter World!
The only criticism of the trip was….. it was too short!

There is no camera on board to take images as the probe falls through the clouds of Venus—there simply isn’t the radio power or time for it to beam much back to Earth. “We have to be very, very frugal with the data that we’re sending back,” says Beck.
It is not images scientists are after, however, but a close-up inspection of Venus’s clouds. That will be provided by an autofluorescing nephelometer, a device that will flash an ultraviolet laser on droplets in Venus’s atmosphere to determine the composition of molecules inside them. As the probe descends, the laser will shine outwards through a small window. It will excite complex molecules—potentially including organic compounds—in the droplets, causing them to fluoresce.
“We’re going to look for organic particles inside the cloud droplets,” Seager says. Such a discovery wouldn’t be proof of life—organic molecules can be created in ways that have nothing to do with biological processes. But if they were found, it would be a step “toward us considering Venus as a potentially habitable environment,” says Seager.
Only direct measurements in the atmosphere can look for the types of life we think could still exist on Venus. Orbiting spacecraft can tell us a great deal about the planet’s broad characteristics, but to really understand it we must send probes to study it up close. The attempt by Rocket Lab and MIT is the first with such a clear focus on life, although the Soviet Union and the US sent probes to Venus in the 20th century.
The mission will not look for phosphine itself because an instrument capable of doing so would not fit in the probe, Seager says. But that could be a job for NASA’s DAVINCI+ mission, set to launch in 2029.
The Rocket Lab–MIT mission will be short. As the probe falls, it will have just five minutes in the clouds of Venus to perform its experiment, radioing its data back to Earth as it plummets towards the surface. Additional data could be taken below the clouds, if the probe survives. An hour after entering the atmosphere of Venus, the probe will hit the ground. Communications will probably be lost some time before that.
Jane Greaves, who led the initial study of phosphine on Venus, says she is looking forward to the mission. “I’m very excited about it,” she says, adding that it has a “great chance” at detecting organic materials, which “might mean life is there.”
Seager hopes this is just the start. Her team is planning future missions to Venus that will be able to follow up on results from this tentative glimpse into the atmosphere. One idea is to place balloons in the clouds, like the Soviet Vega balloons in the 1980s, which could carry out longer investigations. | aerospace |

A NATO F-16 fighter jet approached the Russian defense minister’s plane above the neutral waters of the Baltic Sea.
The move appears to be in response to yesterday’s Russian fighter allegedly flying within 5 feet of a US reconnaissance plane traveling over the Baltic Sea.
The NATO plane was scared off by a Russian Su-27 escorting the minister’s aircraft.
The Russian plane was en route to the city of Kaliningrad, where Russian Defense Minister Sergey Shoigu is scheduled to discuss security issues with defense officials.
Russia’s Sukhoi Su-27 fighter escorting Shoigu’s plane displayed its weapons, prompting the F-16 to swiftly retreat.
- While one NATO aircraft tried to approach the Russian airplane, a Russian Su-27 fighter jet got in its way and tilted its wings, apparently showing its arms. The F-16 then flew away.
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said that he has no information about the incident.
“It’s probably better to ask the Defense Ministry,” Peskov said in answer to journalists’ questions.
On Monday a US RC-135 spy plane flying toward the Russian border made a “provocative turn” toward a Baltic Fleet Su-27, which had been scrambled for an interception mission.
The encounters of Russian and US warplanes over the Baltic Sea waters have apparently become more frequent lately. A Russian fighter jet intercepted a small group of US warplanes, including Boeing KC-135 Stratotanker military refueling aircraft, two B-1 bombers and one B-52, during the BALTOPS (Baltic Operations) annual training exercise on June 10. | aerospace |

In “E is for Experimental” I explained how it came to be that my husband, Jeff, is building an airplane (yes, folks – BUILDING an airplane!). I was asked what “experimental” means as it relates to airplanes. Perhaps the Canadian moniker for this category of aircraft, “amateur-built”, describes it better. Simply put, it is an airplane that is not built in a certified factory (such as a Cessna is), but rather it is built by a person. Rest assured that it is inspected by Transport Canada to meet quality standards; however, when you fly in such an airplane, you need to trust the skills of the person who built it. I was discussing this with someone who said to me “I wouldn’t fly in an airplane that my husband built” and I replied “Neither would I, but I would fly in one that my husband built”.
This is the story of how we came to be owners of a certified airplane, a Cessna 172.
Just around the time that Jeff started building the first wing of his homebuilt, about 7 years ago, he mentioned that he was going to attend a seminar on aviation insurance. Did I want to come along? No, thank you. I didn’t have the time nor the interest. Plus, I thought that looking into insurance was a bit premature, as I knew that it would be several years before he would be flying the airplane. I was a little suspicious, so as he was leaving the house to go to the seminar, I said to him “Don’t you dare buy an airplane”.
A few nights later, we were having dinner at a nice restaurant…with wine…and Jeff announced that he had met a broker at the seminar who told him about an airplane that was for sale. And he wanted to buy it.
I froze with a forkful of chicken half way to my mouth. Fortunately, he made this announcement before I put the chicken in my mouth. I gaped. I stared. He went on. It would be at least few years before he would be flying his homebuilt (a.k.a ‘experimental’) airplane, and it would be nice to have something to fly in the meantime. The airplane that was for sale was in good shape and had over 600 hours left on the engine before it would have to be overhauled (a major expense, apparently). If we flew it for 100 hours a year and sold it in three or four years when the homebuilt was finished, there would still be time left on the engine before overhaul. Sidebar – three or four years…LOL. Seven years later, one of the wings is almost finished.
I had a simpler idea – rent an airplane.
Well apparently he had done the math and explained that if we flew 100 hours or more, per year, it was actually cheaper to own an airplane than to rent one. “Besides”, he said, “When you go for long trips, it’s not practical to rent an airplane”. Long trips, I thought to myself? I was trying to mentally translate hours of flying into number of trips, destinations, distances, cost, etc. It was too many variables for me to get my head around, so I gave up. And, this was starting to sound very expensive.
“We can’t afford to buy an airplane” I said. Jeff went on to explain that we actually COULD afford this particular airplane, as it was a small, old airplane.
“How small, and how old?” was what I wanted to know. | aerospace |

Currently, in the era of artificial intelligence (AI), we have unimaginable opportunities to improve the efficiency of space research and understand the universe.
AI in Space Navigation and Operations
One of the key applications of AI in space exploration is navigation. For example, AI can assist in the control of space probes, managing their trajectories and avoiding collisions with other objects. Such autonomous navigation systems are crucial, especially in missions far beyond Earth, where communication delays can be several minutes.
Similarly, AI can contribute to the improvement of operations on space stations. It can automatically monitor and regulate various systems, such as maintaining the appropriate temperature, oxygen levels, or managing energy resources.
AI in Space Data Analysis
Space exploration generates vast amounts of data that are extremely challenging to analyze manually. AI, with its ability to process massive amounts of data, is the perfect tool for this task. It can help identify interesting phenomena in the data, as well as detect anomalies that may indicate new discoveries.
For example, AI is used in the analysis of telescope data, assisting scientists in identifying distant galaxies, black holes, or planets beyond our Solar System. With AI, we can understand this data faster and more efficiently, accelerating the pace of discoveries in astronomy.
AI in Mars Exploration
Artificial intelligence is also a key element in ongoing research missions to Mars. For example, Mars rovers, such as Perseverance, utilize AI for navigation in challenging terrain, conducting scientific investigations, and even selecting targets for study without direct commands from Earth.
This is particularly important on Mars, where communication delays with Earth can be up to 24 minutes. AI enables rovers to act autonomously, significantly increasing their efficiency and allowing for better utilization of mission time.
The development of artificial intelligence opens new horizons in the study of space. From facilitating navigation and operations to accelerating data analysis and enabling autonomous missions to other planets, AI is an extremely important tool in further space exploration. The more we learn about the universe, the more we realize the importance of utilizing all available tools, including artificial intelligence, to understand its profound mysteries. | aerospace |

Drones – or “unmanned aerial vehicles” or “unmanned aircraft systems” – have come a long way from their early military and surveillance applications. These GPS-loaded devices come in all sizes and are used for all sorts of purposes, from news coverage to security patrols. Drones have even been used in entertainment: dozens of drones with different color lights dazzled viewers during Lady Gaga’s concert at the 51st Super Bowl in Houston.
These “flying robots” are expected to become increasingly common in the field of small package delivery. Under the guidance of remote “pilots” stationed back at a keyboard somewhere, drones have delivered medical supplies to remote areas, for instance. Some drones can get packages close to their targets autonomously and then a pilot will guide the delivery for the last 400 feet, for instance.
Recently, test drone flights with no pilot supervision have also been successful. With its sensors and highly advanced programming capability, a drone can locate a correct address, descend above a pre-determined drop zone, and then lower a package by rope onto a door step. It’s all accomplished with software-controlled “flight plans” and sophisticated equipment.
Huge corporations with deep resources are increasingly ready to launch their own entries in the drone delivery business to residential and commercial customers – and what seemed like science fiction is not far off into our future. What might this micro-delivery method mean for the trucking industry?
Delivery trucks that make door-to-door drop-offs for online retailers and businesses will be the primary sector affected by drone deliveries. With many retail packages weighing under five pounds, this will be an accessible goal. In some scenarios, drones could be loaded on trucks at the distribution center or warehouse and the truck driver could send them out and call them back to keep dropping off packages to expedite his route.
However, most truckers will feel little impact from the growth of drone deliveries. These lightweight air-borne innovations are a mere blip of the radar screen for long-distance freight haulers. There will likely always be a need for trucks carrying heavy loads across the country!
There will also always be a need for trucks to stay loaded and avoid empty backhauls or idle equipment. Many motor carriers turn to FreeFreightSearch.com to search for loads and post their trucks’ locations for freight brokers to see. As the world’s largest FREE freight-matching load board, FreeFreightSearch.com lets brokers and shippers post loads for motor carriers to cover.

After becoming a USA citizen she applied for NASA and she joined the corps in March 1995 and was selected for her first flight in 1997.
Her first space mission began on 19 November 1997, as part of the six-astronaut crew that flew the Space Shuttle Columbia flight STS-87. Chawla was the first Indian woman to go into space.
She had traveled 10.67 million km, as many as 252 times around the Earth. Chawla was assigned to technical positions in the astronaut office to work on the space station. In 2001, Chawla was selected for her second flight as part of the crew.
She died on 1 February 2003, in the Space Shuttle Columbia disaster, along with the other six crew members, when the Columbia disintegrated over Texas during re-entry into the Earth's atmosphere, shortly before it was scheduled to conclude its 28th mission, STS-107.
Her remains were identified along with those of the rest of the crew members and were cremated and scattered at Zion National Park in Utah in accordance with her wishes.

This problem would come from a spurious signal in the abort logic command interface.
The astronauts have warned Houston about this problem, which asked the MIT team, which developped the AGC, to find a solution for this problem.
A young developper would have sent a sequence telling the AGC to ignore this spurious signal, a sequence which was sent to the lunar module, and that Mitchell would have typed on the keyboard of the AGC.
The only problem is that the guidance program is entirely contained in the core rope memory, which is hard wired on earth, and that the astronauts could not modify.
So, it means that typing this sequence was useless, since it could not modify the hard wired guidance program.
In short, this problem with the abort stage button appears to be a good joke.
In fact, before making this video, I had not really looked into detail the procedure which had to be followed in the abort fix.
This time I have done it: I describe it in this link, and I show that it’s totally absurd, nonsensical.
I also talk about the famous 1202 alarm of Apollo 11.
The conclusion is that these absurd events are very obviously hints that the engineers are giving us to make us understand that these descents were not real. | aerospace |

Called Liberty Lifter, the X-Plane is a massive cargo seaplane that leverages ground effect to fly long distances efficiently by skimming over the surface of the sea. DARPA is of course well known for having lots of crazy ideas, only some of which ever come to fruition. But excitingly, two major aerospace companies have now signed on with their own designs for Liberty Lifter, meaning that a new full-scale X-Plane may actually happen in the near future.
The concept behind Liberty Lifter is to create a sort of hybrid delivery system that combines the speed of airlift with the efficiency of sealift. While Liberty Lifter will be able to fly at altitude like a normal seaplane, cruising just tens of meters above the waves (where the pressure under the wings against the water’s surface adds lift) could boost the aircraft’s effective range by 50 percent. The name “Liberty Lifter” invokes the idea of Liberty ships, reflecting DARPA’s goal of an aircraft that’s relatively easy and cheap to put together.
“We are excited to kick off this program and looking forward to working closely with both performer teams as they mature their point-of-departure design concepts through Phase 1,” said DARPA Liberty Lifter Program Manager Christopher Kent. “The two teams have taken distinctly different design approaches that will enable us to explore a relatively large design space during Phase 1.”
There isn’t a lot of technical detail on the designs available yet, but the renderings are pretty cool:
Aurora Flight Sciences
Aurora’s design is a traditional-ish looking big seaplane, using eight turboprops and a high wing. General Atomics is looking at something a bit more adventurous:
This twin hull, low wing design with twelve turboshaft engines is more like DARPA’s original concepts, and is optimized for on-water stability and seakeeping. But neither of these concept images communicates much about the efficiency of the craft’s construction process, which will likely be a significant factor in DARPA’s decision about which design gets to move forward.
DARPA expects the conceptual work on these designs to take about six months, followed by nine months of design maturation and a preliminary design review. After that, three months spent on “manufacturing planning and test/demonstration planning reviews” will give the agency the info that it needs to transition one design into Phase 2 of the program, with the goal of building a full-scale Liberty Lifter X-plane starting in mid-2024.

Based on characterizations of the structure and aerodynamic stability, the experimental investigation on the inlet total pressure distortion of the middle-bypass ratio turbofan engine at high altitude was carried out. The detailed available distortion project designs, distortion installations selection, and data processing standard were introduced. The test results showed that within the range of flight height less than 14 km, the height affected the steady state comprehensive distortion index a little. When flight height was 11km, and flight Mach number was 0.8, under the comprehensive distortion index less greater than 12%, the middle-bypass ratio turbofan engine could work steadily at military cruising regime and military climbing regime with air bleeding, and power extractions was 136 kW, when the flight height was 14 km, and flight Mach number was 0.39.

There is so much junk in space that collisions could start to increase exponentially, leading to a continuously growing pile of rubble in orbit, a new report warns.
The independent report, released today (Sept. 1), surveyed NASA’s work to meet the threat of space debris. It was sponsored by NASA, and conducted by the National Research Council, a nonprofit science policy organization.
Space debris — an accumulation of broken satellites, spent rocket stages and other junk in orbit — is dangerous because it could hit and damage working satellites, as well as spacecraft like the International Space Station. | aerospace |
