May 31, 2019
Nano Dimension Ltd., an additive electronics provider, has received a grant approval from the Israel Innovation Authority for developing hardware, in cooperation with Harris Corporation, that will fly on the International Space Station (ISS) and communicate with Harris’ ground-based satellite tracking station in Florida. This project will provide a systematic analysis of 3D printed materials for radio frequency (RF) space systems, especially for nanosatellites.
The total approved budget for the Israeli portion of this project is approximately $416,000, of which the Israel Innovation Authority will finance 40%. According to the terms of the grant, Nano Dimension will pay royalties on future sales up to the full grant amount.
This project is being conducted in collaboration with Harris Corporation, a technology innovator that provides solutions that connect, inform and protect its clients. The Harris portion of the project is sponsored by a grant from Space Florida. During this one-year project, both companies will optimize the designs of the 3D printing process and RF components and prepare a system for the flight studies at the ISS.
This project has been selected by the Center for the Advancement of Science in Space, the manager of the ISS U.S. National Laboratory, to fly the space flight experiment on the ISS, using the team’s 3D printed materials and circuits. In this project, the companies will pioneer the first-of-a-kind space flight experiment, that will fly in space at low earthorbit for one year on the ISS, helping to understanding how 3D printed circuits, systems and materials will endure in various space environments.
This project will demonstrate innovative methods for manufacturing new RF systems. Until now, manufacturing of RF systems has remained static for the last 30 years with each circuit in its own “gold box/boxes” interconnected with cables and connectors. With 3D printing, the industry can explore a new manufacturing paradigm, that eliminates manual labor and streamlines production. Another benefit to this technology is a reduction/elimination of wasted material.

With the drone on position mode, I start the flight and move towards a wall, and when the drone reaches the distance I have configured it to stop, it stops. Up until here, everything is fine. However, a few seconds later (maybe 10 seconds) the drone completely ignores the collision prevention and allows me to fly freely (still in position mode), as if the collision prevention got disabled. I don’t really understand why this happens, so any help would be grateful.

The world's largest flight simulator manufacturer says lessons learned in the sim will help it develop real-world applications and it's investing about $600 million to develop new technologies. CAE says Project Falcon will last five years and, in addition to expanding current modeling and simulation technologies, "increase its capabilities beyond training into other areas of the aerospace and defense market, such as analysis and operations," according to a news release issued by the company. Project Falcon will include "augmented visionics," which sounds a lot like enhanced vision, new and better sims for future manned and unmanned aircraft and, in what sounds like the world's coolest video game, "networking technologies to allow defense forces of many nations to participate simultaneously in real time training and mission rehearsal exercises."
The Canadian government is providing a $200 million loan to help the company. The loan is repayable and, in the meantime, will help create about 1,000 high-technology jobs in Montreal, which is also home to Bombardier and its new CSeries program. More than 40,000 people work in aerospace in Montreal. CAE CEO Robert Brown said cutting-edge companies like CAE must invest in research and development to stay on top of new technologies even when times are tough. "Innovation is essential for CAE in order to sustain its leadership position in modeling, simulation and training. We will therefore, continue to invest in R&D, even in these challenging times," he said. | aerospace | 1 |

The US has upped its ability to spy over vast swathes of eastern Europe after a squadron of MQ-9 Reaper drones commenced “full” operations from an air base in Poland. This, as NATO cries foul over the so-called ‘Russian threat’.
Based out of Miroslawiec Air Base, the US Air Force (USAF) silently began using the facility for intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) missions last May.
However, it was not until March 4 that the 52nd Fighter Wing Expeditionary Operations Group (EOG), which operate drones, reached its “full operational capability” at the base, according to a USAF statement.
Facilities at the base, which include a secure processing center, communications infrastructure, and a large aircraft maintenance hangar, will allow the unit and contractors to control all aspects of the Reaper’s missions, from take-off to recovery of the aircraft. The USAF statement didn’t divulge the number of Reaper drones that would be stationed at the base.
Reports last year indicate that the US conducted similar flights from Larisa Air Force Base in Greece. However, the stationing of Reapers in Greece was explained by Pentagon spokesman Eric Pahon as a temporary measure while repairs were being made at one of the US’ secretive African drone sites. Drone flights from Larisa may have focused on operations in the south, but Reaper missions from Poland focus firmly on supporting NATO’s ambitions in the east.
Speaking on Tuesday, the top US commander in Europe, Curtis Scaparrotti, told the Senate Armed Services Committee that he was not satisfied with the current “deterrent posture” NATO has against Russia. “I need more ISR,” Scaparrotti said, noting that additional warships, troop deployments, and investment in cyber and military infrastructure are urgently needed in the European theater.Also on rt.com ‘Obvious threat’: Russian officials warn Poland not to proceed with permanent US military base
Scaparrotti’s cries of the growing “threat of Russia” comes amid Polish hopes to open a permanent home for US troops as NATO bases continue to stretch from the Baltic to the Black Sea. Dubbed Fort Trump, Russia has vowed to resist the Polish installation, calling it a threat to its security.

(See our article “The Pre-Pilots Fly Again” from June 1999.) Now, USAF plans to recast IFT into a new shorter program taught at a centralized location—to be named—that will more resemble USAF-type training. The current IFT runs 50 hours, but Air Force Education and Training Command chopped that in half. The current civilian schools conducting IFT will use the new 25-hour AETC syllabus to screen pilot candidates—at least until the new program—dubbed initial flight screening—starts up in October 2006.
Lawmakers are growing impatient for an overdue fighter recapitalization study from the Air Force, and members say they'll demand more detailed justifications for future aircraft retirements. | aerospace | 1 |

Abstract:The principles of fracture mechanics have been used extensively in the design of damage‐tolerant structural components for the YUH‐61A UTTAS helicopter which is being designed, built, and tested by the Boeing Vertol Company under Army contract. The requirements for a high level of structural reliability, considering both combat and noncombat environments, led to establishment of a damage‐tolerance criterion. The design of major structural components was often controlled by this criterion which required specific residual fatigue life and static strength after sustaining initial damage of a given magnitude. Implementation of the damage‐tolerance criterion relied heavily on the technology of fracture mechanics. This technology was used in conducting material trade‐off studies, providing estimates of crack‐growth characteristics for sizing components, and establishing procedures for bench tests to check compliance of components with damage‐tolerance criteria. Two fracture‐mechanics‐ based techniques, in particular, were widely used to achieve damage tolerance. One technique used the approach of designing a component to prevent damage of a given size from growing under operational loads. This led to the concept of a fatigue‐crack‐growth threshold, which is a function of stress level and crack size. The other technique consisted of designing a component so that damage growth is limited to non‐catastrophic proportions. These techniques entered directly in the design of more than 10 critical dynamic‐system components for the YUH‐61A helicopter. It is concluded that fracture mechanics provides a valuable tool for the design of damage‐tolerant structure.

Confirmed during a demonstration tour in Zhuhai,
China on Wednesday, Bell Helicopter announced it has received its
first customer order in the People's Republic of China for its
model 429 helicopter.
Sold to Mr. Ren Jianjun, a prominent industrialist from the
Hebei province, the order is the first Bell 429 scheduled for
delivery in China. Mr. Ren, an aviation enthusiast and pilot, also
owns and operates a Bell 206B-3 JetRanger.
Helping facilitate the purchase of the aircraft was Heliflite
"The Bell 429 was designed with a global mission scope, and is
particularly well suited for the multi-mission roles in the Asia
Pacific region, and in particular, China," said Larry D. Roberts,
Senior Vice President Commercial Business in a statement released
by Bell. "The 429 is truly a new force in the marketplace and will
appeal to the discerning customer who is interested in reliability,
performance and maintenance-cost containment. We are honored to
partner with Mr. Ren and bring the first 429 to the People's
Republic of China."
According to Bell customer response to the 429 has been "very
positive and interest continues to build among potential buyers for
its use in private operations, corporate transport and utility
missions, emergency medical services and for civil government
Bell 429 File Photo
The Bell 429 meets the latest requirements of Part 27
airworthiness rules, set in 2007, which are more stringent than the
requirements, set a decade or more ago, under which competing light
twins were certified.
Designed using the Maintenance Steering Group 3 (MSG-3) process,
the 429 is the only helicopter flying whose maintenance program is
approved by the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) and
In August, the Bell 429 continued its world tour in the Asia
Pacific region with customer demonstrations in Australia, Hong Kong
and China. More than 1,500 customers have experienced the 429's
speed, performance and spacious cabin firsthand during the world
tour, which is scheduled to continue later this year in Africa and
the Middle East. | aerospace | 1 |

“That was a spectacular test we all witnessed this morning. It was really special for the program; a really big step forward to us,” Orion Program Manager Mark Kirasich said during a post-launch briefing from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida on Tuesday. “It was a really great day all around—weather and the vehicle.”
Rockets are supposed to take off without a hitch, of course. But tragic accidents like the Challenger explosion in 1986 and the Columbia explosion in 2003 rightfully haunt the Agency, with a combined 14 deaths between the two disasters. Safety mechanics like the LAS will allow future astronauts to eject from their spacecraft faster than a speeding rocket.
The entire test took 3 minutes and 13 seconds. Taking off from Space Launch Complex 46 at Cape Canaveral, a test version of the Orion crew module flew to an altitude of about six miles on a modified Peacekeeper missile taken from the Air Force and built by Northrop Grumman.
Flying to an altitude of six miles upward, the crew module experienced high-stress aerodynamic conditions like those the craft will face when leaving the Earth's atmosphere. The capsule's attitude control motor (ACM), which can exert up to 7,000 pounds of steering force to the vehicle in any direction, flipped the capsule end-over-end to properly orient it.
Then, with the capsule traveling at 760 mph, NASA hit the abort button, sending the module into a splash landing in the Atlantic. NASA was able to recover all 12 data recorders ejected during the test capsule’s descent.
“One of the most important parts of the test was to see how the attitude control motor performed,” Kirasich said. “The internal motor pressure was rock solid, straight line, and it had excellent control characteristics. Everything we’ve seen so far looks great.”
Beyond launching the abort system, the ACM will also orient the capsule for parachute deployment.
NASA has big expectations for Orion. The crew module is expected to be aboard the Agency's much-hyped Space Launch System, and to also be the main crew module for the Agency's Artemis program, which will herald America's return to the moon in 2024 if everything goes according to plan.
Beyond the technical capabilities, political pressure is ramping up on NASA as well. The pressure for every test to go right is higher than normal right now, thanks to Vice President Mike Pence keeping the foot on the pedal in terms of getting to the Moon soon. This test gets NASA one step closer.

Flight was scheduled to depart New Jersey for Georgia.
A passenger on a Frontier Airlines flight was “voted” off a plane by fellow travelers after a verbal altercation broke out before the aircraft took off.
A series of viral videos posted on social media detailed the altercation between a couple, another passenger and a flight attendant while the plane was on the ground at Trenton Mercer Airport in New Jersey last week. The flight, bound for Atlanta, allegedly started because the couple was arguing with a flight attendant over a seat.
Another passenger, however, allegedly got involved and started antagonizing the couple. It’s unclear why the other passenger got involved.
Representatives for Frontier Airlines did not respond to FOX Business’ request for comment.
In the first of three videos, collectively viewed nearly 16 million times on TikTok, a woman is yelling at another passenger, who is sitting a few rows behind her, telling her to mind her own business as they were being asked to leave the plane.
The footage shows crew members standing by the couple, waiting to escort them off the plane.
“The fact that you are requesting us to get off is ridiculous,” the woman told the flight attendant, according to the video. “He literally has not done anything wrong.”
As the woman was leaving, she yelled back at the passenger again, saying, “We have been asking you to mind your own business this whole plane ride.”
“She needs to get off the plane if anything,” she added, referring to the woman a few rows behind her.
A few moments later, video shows another passenger calling for a vote.
“If you can hear me and want her removed from the flight, raise your hand. I’m not even kidding,” he said. ” I got 40 hands up.”
The passenger was then seen grabbing her bag from the overhead bin and being escorted off the plane by a crew member. | aerospace | 1 |

Are they referring to passion at work? Or perhaps passion in a sport or hobby? What exactly are they talking about?
I was fortunate to find passion in flying while in the USAF. But still, at times even this prestigious job was just a JOB. What I was passionate about was competing – competing with others to be good enough to get an assignment to fly the F-16.
When I first went to pilot training, I didn’t really know what type of aircraft or mission I wanted to fly. Back then, everyone started with a group of 60-70 guys, split into two flights. After ground school, each pilot begins by flying the T-37 – learning the basics of “contact” flying. This training included some flight patterns and landing skills, stalls and falls, aerobatics and communication procedures. Later, we learned some formation and instrument procedures. After about 4 ½ months you “moved to the other side of the hallway” to the fast jet or the T-38A.
The T-38A training was great. Our first ride or “Dollar” ride as it was called, was a supersonic ride where you saw the airspeed push through 1.0 mach. Though not really a big deal, it was enough to make us realize we were student pilots.
It was during the formation phase of flight, in the T-38, that I began to realize my potential. Up to that time, I believe I was just an average student – somewhere in the middle of the pack. But it was on a flight with Lt. Curt Crawford, who is now an American Airlines 737 Captain based in Dallas, that I turned the corner in Undergraduate Pilot Training (UPT).
Curt was a “good ole boy” from Texas A & M and had an “ah shucks” manner about him. For me, this flight was just another ride on a long list of syllabus rides that I had to accomplish in order to receive my USAF “silver wings.” The ride was a two-ship formation flight – with me flying solo in my own T-38A. I was the “wingman” on takeoff. Then we proceeded to fly to the western part of Oklahoma in our military restricted airspace or (MOA). Lt. Crawford and his student were in the lead jet. Once in the designated area, we did some standard “pitch out and rejoins” to warm up. This was procedure where the wingman would “peel off” aggressively from the flight leader, with a 3-4 g pull-away for about 5 seconds, to gain about 1-2 miles separation from the opposing jet. Then, the flight lead would do what is called a “wing rock” back and forth and set a 30 degree bank turn either right or left. At that time, the wingman, which in this case was me, would establish a flight path, angle and closure to reduce the distance at a safe pace in order to complete the rejoin. The procedure is a three-dimensional maneuver in space where you methodically place the lead aircraft on the horizon and your aircraft is a “cigarette pack” below. At this point, you place the wing tip of the lead aircraft in the “small of the back” of your own fuselage, to establish the appropriate line. You set your airspeed at 400 knots or so, knowing and trusting your flight lead is at 350 knots.
As you can imagine from the description above, this was a very challenging maneuver for new student pilots. On our second “pitch out and rejoin”, where I was the leader, I hear my flight lead call “BLIND” over our common frequency radio. This meant that both he and the instructor pilot (IP) had lost sight of me. Their two sets of eyes against mine. It happens – and on this occasion – I still had them in sight as we flew in the blue Oklahoma sky.
I immediately instructed them to be “tactical” lead and directed them to set a 30 degree right hand turn at 350 knots. I would reverse the rolls and rejoin them. They still did not have sight of me until I was within 6,000 feet of the rejoin. Once I know they had me in sight, I continued the rejoin until about 500 feet, directed them to roll wings level, and I passed back the tactical lead to them. I then resumed my responsibilities as a wingman.
When we landed, my IP Lt. Crawford complimented me. He couldn’t believe that I was able to display so much “SA” – situational awareness. After dropping off my parachute and helmet in the Life Support room, I found Lt. Crawford in the Flight Commander’s office praising my flight. Little did I know at that time that I was now being groomed to become a First Assignment Instructor Pilot or FAIP. My passion was born. | aerospace | 1 |

Some are designed for slow and steady long-distance flights, while others are made for faster, short-distance flights (even while upside-down). The latter are usually light and agile aircraft with characteristics designed specifically for the job intended to carry out.
In each different type of airplane exists a distinct wing design that manipulates the incoming air in various ways. The result? - Varying levels of performance.
Commercial airplanes have thicker wings with a bubbled top and flat underside, which helps push the air underneath to generate lift for the rest of the aircraft. Many military fighter jets have similar wing designs, although thinner, because these aircraft need to travel at higher rates of speed.
Airplanes that fly upside down, like stunt planes, need double-duty wings that can push air either over or under the wing, depending on the angle of attack. These kinds of planes have symmetrical wing shapes, enabling the pilot can rotate the aircraft a full 180º and keep the plane airborne in any orientation.
Most non-stunt aircraft don't have symmetrical wings because they're unnecessary and asymmetrical wings are more fuel efficient. | aerospace | 1 |

This is mainly done to initiate a recovery attempt which is slated to take place on Tuesday.
Although the company has made many efforts in the launching of new versions of Falcon 9 Block 5 rockets, still some of the older versions are waiting for their last lap of launching to space. The latest version of the Falcon 9 Block 5 rocket has excellent features of reusability and has been pretty successful in launching the Bangabandhu-1 which was the first satellite of the Bangladesh Government. At this very moment, there are still four rockets which will be launched which involves the sooty Falcon 9 first stage.
This particular rocket had faced troubles while landing when it had launched the mysterious Zuma mission in the year of 2018 and in January. This was stated to have re-entered the earth’s atmosphere minutes after it reached the orbital position. The purpose was considered to be a failure, and the entire blame was given to the Northrop Grumman who had designed the payload adapter as well as the deployment mechanism.
In spite of this problem, the same rocket booster of the SpaceX company which had lifted off the much controversial Zuma mission is all set to load a new payload into space from the launch pad of SLC-4E. This launch pad is situated in Vandenberg Air Force Base. The number of this particular rocket is B1043 which is scheduled to position itself within the orbital position for the second time carrying along with it seven satellites. Five of such satellites belong to the iridium variety, and the remaining satellites are lifted up for specific other scientific mission. Such mission is known as the GRACE-FO.
As for the company is concerned it will be scrapping off B1043 Falcon 9 version after it completes the job of positioning GRACE-FO into its desired orbit. This shows that the company would be using the last possible launching activity. At the current situation, experts have advised that it won’t be prudent to reuse the flight for than two times after refurbishing them properly. However, the company is pretty determined the reuse the older versions till the new translation captures the market appropriately. The Falcon 9 Block 5 version will be re-used 10 to 100 times with minimum repairs and maintenance. | aerospace | 1 |

The Air Force years ago banked its future on state-of-the-art fighter jets and billion-dollar satellites. Yet the service that has long avoided being pulled into ground operations is now finding that its people -- rather than its weapons -- are what the Pentagon needs most as it wages a prolonged war against a low-tech insurgent enemy.
Individual branches have spent decades carving out their unique roles within the U.S. military, and Air Force officials insist that the redeployment of its airmen is temporary. Nonetheless, the reassignment of Air Force personnel comes as another sign that the Pentagon is struggling to meet the demands of what military officials have begun calling "the long war."
As part of the effort, more than 3,000 Air Force troops are being assigned new roles. And airmen are being dispatched to combat zones for longer tours of duty -- as much as 12 months rather than four.
The situation represents a reversal of sorts for the Air Force, which had played a dominant role in recent conflicts, including the 1991 Persian Gulf War and the war to expel Serbian troops from Kosovo.
"At that point the Air Force looked to be the dominant service," said Steve Kosiak, a military analyst at the Center for Strategic and Budgetary Assessments. "That has changed."
In the ongoing peacekeeping efforts in Afghanistan and the fight against insurgents in Iraq, Kosiak said, the Army has been the dominant branch.
"It's been the Army, and the Air Force has played a supporting role," Kosiak said.
Air Force officials said they are expecting to commit an additional 1,000 airmen to such roles as prison guard and truck driver in the next few years, but they don't plan to make these jobs "core competencies" within the Air Force.
Pentagon planners think the counterinsurgency battles being waged in Iraq and Afghanistan could become the norm, rather than the exception, for the U.S. military. And, with the Pentagon currently engaged in a top-to-bottom assessment of the U.S. military's missions -- an exercise known as the Quadrennial Defense Review -- Air Force officials said there is a chance that the high-flying service could be spending more time on the ground in the years ahead.
One urgent problem being addressed by the Air Force is the shortage of trained interrogators to question the thousands of detainees being held in U.S. military prisons in Iraq and Afghanistan.
"The demand side is that there are people being put into the system that need to have folks talk to them," said Col. Steven Pennington, commander of the Air Force Operations Group. "I don't think any of us thought there would be this amount of demand."
The first Air Force interrogation teams were deployed to Afghanistan earlier this year. They went without receiving any special training because most already were members of the Air Force's internal investigative service and had experience questioning suspects. But subsequent Air Force interrogation teams are being drawn from an array of unrelated jobs, and members are undergoing 16-week interrogation courses at the Army's intelligence academy at Fort Huachuca, Ariz.
"They are not necessarily operating too far outside their basic skill set, but they are operating in an environment they're not normally trained to operate in," said Maj. Brenda Campbell, an Air Force spokeswoman.
The first class of 50 Air Force students arrived at Fort Huachuca during the summer, and they are scheduled to complete the course this month.
Like the Air Force, several thousand sailors from the Navy are performing what the service calls "nontraditional" roles in Iraq, Afghanistan, and at the military prison at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. | aerospace | 1 |

They rushed to seal off the module and fired rockets to stabilize the space station.
NASA officials said it was not clear which of the scientific experiments in the Spektr module could survive the vacuum that now exists there. It is also not clear whether the leak in the Spektr module can be repaired. NASA officials said the astronauts might need to walk in space to inspect the damage.
A scheduled launching of another Progress cargo supply ship 10 days from now has been postponed while the astronauts deal with the problem.
But the immediate problem for the crew was power. With only half of the craft's usual power, the crew has shut down many components.
The astronauts could quickly leave, using the Soyuz spacecraft docked at Mir. But American and Russian officials said there is no current plan to do so. | aerospace | 1 |

NASA has categorised it as “harmful” due to its dimension and proximity to its orbit with Earth, and the asteroid will journey about 2 million kilometers from our planet on March 21 at 5 p.m.
So no worries, in response to the journal the likelihood of an influence with the Earth at this distance could be very low. Science & Wee. NASA says an asteroid is “harmful” when it crosses Earth’s orbit or will get a lot nearer than the latter, extra exactly if it travels inside 7 million kilometers.

It does not show the flights that turned before they got to SSTIK and then flew over Brisbane.
The flights segregate into two groups: those that fly the assumed SSTIK flight path described in the prior slide and the ones that cut the lagoon.
Note the greater number of flights cutting the northern end of the lagoon and then turning over northern Brisbane. See the flight tracks in the image from 2009 where the flight paths are predominately further north. The procedure was through SEPDY.
Despite the new SSTIK procedure, vectoring is still a problem for Brisbane.
In August 2015, 2.8 flights per 100 that flew through the SSTIK waypoint created noise events over 65 db at the Brisbane noise monitor.
For those that did not fly through SSTIK, 28 flights per 100 created noise events over 65db at the Brisbane noise monitor. 1e 10x more likely to create a noise event. These are the flights that the FAA turned early and are the vectored flights.
Note we still hear the flights over Brisbane that do not register, They are still loud - just not loud enough to be counted! | aerospace | 1 |

Some of which have private bedrooms and showers on board.
The Dubai-based airline recently signed a deal with Aussie brand Qantas to use the UAE as a stopover point instead of Singapore. These flights will transport millions of European and Australian travellers between nations.
If plans go ahead for triple-decker planes they will be able to hold another 283 passengers, explained Adel Al Redha, the executive vice president of engineering and operations of Emirates Airlines.
“I think there is no doubt about it; there will be more demand for higher-capacity aircraft, purely driven by the capacity and congestion you have at airports and airspace,” he explained to Arabian Business.
“It is always difficult to get slots in any international airport today… The only way to fill your need is to operate that kind of aircraft,” continued Redha.
“I think the size we would look at right now is the treble aircraft configuration that goes from 500 to 800 passengers.”
While airlines have high-hopes for an even bigger aircraft, it’s unlikely that they’ll be operational in the next decade.
Emirates is the world’s leading in terms of international km travelled – it has carried an estimated 18.5 m passengers since April 2012. | aerospace | 1 |

The Amazon founder announced on Tuesday that he had assembled a national consortium, with Blue as the prime contractor and including aerospace giants Lockheed Martin and Northrop Grumman, as well as the space tech firm Draper, which was spun out of MIT to launch the original Apollo moon missions.
“This is the only way to go back to the moon fast,” Bezos said on Tuesday during a speech at the International Astronautical Congress, the world’s biggest space conference, in Washington, DC. “We’re not going back to the moon to visit, we’re going back to the moon to stay.”
Space programs around the world are coalescing around a return to the moon to explore newly-detected resources like liquid water, delve into the history of the solar system, and gather new astronomical data on the far side of Earth’s largest satellite. NASA’s Artemis program is aiming to reach the moon by 2024, and NASA administrator Jim Bridenstine has said he wants to hire private firms to build the spacecraft that will carry astronauts to its surface from a to-be-launched orbiting way station called the Lunar Gateway.
In May, Bezos revealed the design for his company’s lunar lander, and endorsed NASA’s Artemis program as a wise priority for space exploration. Blue’s lander design was expected to compete with offerings from Lockheed, the most prolific builder of spacecraft that can land on other planets, and aerospace giant Boeing. Boeing and Lockheed are already building, respectively, a rocket called the Space Launch System and spacecraft called Orion to carry astronauts from Earth to the Lunar Gateway.
Recruiting Lockheed to its team adds a big advantage to Blue’s bid, but it’s still not clear if NASA will have enough money to meet the Trump administration’s 2024 landing goal. Congress’ unfinished spending plans for next year now fund only about 40% of the space agency’s requested downpayment for the Artemis program. And NASA won’t even be able to say how much the entire program will cost until next year.
Bezos is one of a number of Silicon Valley figures who believe that space business can be the next big technology opportunity, but only if the cost of getting to orbit comes down enough to incentivize internet-style entrepreneurship.
“You cannot start an important space company in your dorm room today,” Amazon founder Jeff Bezos said this morning. “The reason that is impossible is the price of admission is too high. We need more of the infrastructure to be deployed.”
Both Bezos and Elon Musk, who founded the leading US rocket-maker, SpaceX, believe that reusable rockets are key to this vision. But they diverge on the best strategy to make it a reality. SpaceX has held itself apart from traditional space companies, insisting on fixed-price contracts, competition, and performing tests in public, while Blue Origin has been more secretive and willing to partner with traditional firms like United Launch Alliance or Lockheed.
SpaceX is pinning its deep space hopes on its Starship and Super Heavy Booster, which Musk says will be capable of flying to the moon—or Mars—directly. “We want to land it on the moon by 2022,” SpaceX president Gwynne Shotwell said today, calling that an “aspirational timeframe.” SpaceX executives say they expect their Falcon rockets will play a role in delivering robots and supplies for Artemis.
“The way NASA traditionally does things is much slower and more deliberate … [SpaceX] is much more of a Silicon Valley approach, less of a government approach,” NASA administrator Bridenstine said on Monday.
Bezos’ team—at 2,000 people, less than half the size of SpaceX—has positioned itself at the center of NASA’s plans. That brings the risks of bureaucratic delay and changing policies, but also the benefits of the powerful inertia and resources of the US space program. But the relatively unproven space company’s role as the team leader also signals a changing of the guard in the space industry.
“We felt that such an ambitious mission called for a new approach and a team effort,” Gary Napier, a Lockheed Martin spokesperson, told Quartz. “With the recent NASA award to produce six more Orion spacecraft missions, Lockheed Martin can leverage Orion technology, experience and supply chain to provide the safest Crew Module for Artemis.” | aerospace | 1 |

Possibly since the first human being saw a bird flying in the sky, we have been fascinated by flight. No wonder we found 7 Fantastic Days Celebrating Flight. Through the years, many people have tried and failed at flying. We’re talking about a lot of years and innumerable attempts. For example, the first recorded attempt at human flight dates back to 850 BC. According to legend, King Bladud of New Troy built a pair of wings and attached them to his arms. He tried to fly to the temple of Apollo but instead fell to his death. Years later, around 1505, Leonardo da Vinci built a machine with flapping wings. He called the machine an ornithopter.
Thanks to inventions like hang gliders and parachutes, some people have turned their dream of personal flight into reality. Of course, millions of people around the world also fly in airplanes and helicopters. Flying cars might also become a common mode of transportation in the future. In the meantime, here are 7 Fantastic Days Celebrating Flight.
1. Aviation Maintenance Technician Day
Pilots are some of the first people to come to mind when it comes to aviation. However, many people behind the scenes, such as aviation maintenance technicians, make flight possible. Because they are so important, every year, on May 24th, Aviation Maintenance Technician Day honors these workers. One aviation technician, in particular, the day honors is Charles Edward Taylor. He built the engine that powered the airplane flown by the Wright Brothers. The resolution to honor aviation maintenance technicians was made in 2002 in honor of Taylor’s birthday, May 24th, 1868.
2. National Paper Airplane Day
Next on our journey of 7 Fantastic Days Celebrating flight is National Paper Airplane Day on May 26th. The day celebrates a fun and simple aeronautical toy. Many believe that the use of paper airplanes originated in China thousands of years ago. Modern paper airplanes were probably created around 1909. However, no one knows who came up with National Paper Airplane Day. This toy has symbolized imagination, desire, simplicity, creativity, optimism, and design for generations.
3. International Young Eagles Day
Every year on the second Saturday in June, the Experimental Aircraft Association (EAA) organizes International Young Eagles Day. This day encourages young people to become interested in aviation. In addition, members of the EAA (who are licensed pilots) offer free flights to children who have never flown in an airplane. The EAA began the Young Eagles program in 1992. Since then, the organization has provided over 2 million free plane rides to young people.
4. National Amelia Earhart Day
Halfway through our list of 7 Fantastic Days Celebrating Flight, we take a look at an aviation pioneer. Amelia Earhart is honored on her birthday, July 24th. The day is called National Amelia Earhart Day. This amazing pilot was the first to fly solo across the Atlantic. Earhart also broke many flight records and wrote best-selling books about her experiences. Her success still inspires other female aviators around the world. Amelia Earhart was born on July 24th, 1897. She disappeared on July 2, 1938, while flying across the Pacific.
5. National Aviation Day
The pioneers of human flight are recognized every year on August 19th, which is National Aviation Day. These pioneers include men like George Cayley, Orville, and Wilbur Wright, and Charles Edward Taylor. All of these men helped pave the way for modern-day aviation. President Franklin Delano Roosevelt established National Aviation Day in 1939. The date honors the birthday of Orville Wright.
6. International Civil Aviation Day
All non-military aviation is called civil aviation. This involves the flight activities of the private and commercial sectors. Civil aviation plays a huge role in the social and economic development of countries around the world. Civil aviation is also a vital component of peace and prosperity. For these reasons, people across the globe celebrate International Civil Aviation Day every year on December 7th. The International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) established this day in 1994. Two years later, the UN adopted a resolution that officially recognized this day.
7. Wright Brothers Day
We’ve arrived at our final destination on the 7 Fantastic Days Celebrating Flight. Wright Brothers Day occurs every year on December 17th. This day commemorates the first successful flight of a mechanically propelled airplane. Brothers Orville and Wilbur Wright made the 12-second flight near Kitty Hawk, NC, in 1903. Sixty years later, in 1963, Congress made a joint resolution to declare December 17th Wright Brothers Day.
There are over 1,500 national days. Don’t miss a single one. Celebrate Every Day® with National Day Calendar®! | aerospace | 1 |

The space agency said the mission will extend beyond the discoveries of NASA's Hubble Telescope mission, with longer wavelengths that will allow Webb to look much closer at the beginning of time and hunt for the unobserved formation of the first galaxies.
The Webb telescope recently passed its "rigorous testing regimen," which NASA considered a major turning point for the mission.
The Webb observatory is now sitting at Northrop Grumman facilities in southern California before it will be moved to French Guiana on the northeast coast of South America for launch from a French spaceport onboard an Ariane 5 rocket.
The mission is named for James Webb, who headed NASA during the early 1960s as the U.S. was headed toward sending men to the moon for the first time.
The Webb mission is also partnered with the European Space Agency (ESA) and the Canadian Space Agency.
Webb's program director, Gregory L. Robinson, said: "Now that we have an observatory and a rocket ready for launch, I am looking forward to the big day and the amazing science to come."
NASA calls Webb's technology "revolutionary," with the ability to explore every phase of cosmic history "from within our solar system to the most distant observable galaxies in the early universe, and everything in between."
"Webb will reveal new and unexpected discoveries," said NASA, "and help humankind understand the origins of the universe and our place in it." | aerospace | 1 |

By simplest approach, I mean given the tools and information available. If I were to design the least expensive airplane, using minimum materials with maximum strength, and a wide margin of safety, I would select a flying wing. The flying wing eliminates fuselage, tail, rudder, and stabilizer. The passengers are seated in the wing. I designed many variations on flying wings in the early 1930’s.
Social designs must be based on the carrying capacity of Earth’s resources, and not on the philosophy, desires, aesthetics, or advantages of particular people. For example, the circular design of cities is based upon a minimum expenditure of energy for maximum social gain. Architecture, when intelligently designed, will use the least amount of material for the safest and most efficient structure possible. As materials improve and change, so will architecture and the designs of cities. This will not limit advantages, but will expand amenities and the goods and services available to everyone. | aerospace | 1 |

Image Credit: NASA
As you can probably deduce from its name, it was only just discovered about three years ago. Fortunately, it’s expected to safely pass the planet at 4.6 lunar distances away, which isn’t close enough to cause any damage to the planet.
For those unaware, 4.6 lunar distances means 4.6 times the distance between the Earth and the Moon, which is almost 1,100,000 miles away.
2014 JO25 isn’t a tiny little space rock; it’s actually pretty big. At 2,000 feet across, it’s under half of a mile wide. Another thing we know about the asteroid from telescope-based observations is that it’s highly reflective – about twice that of our Moon.
At 4.6 lunar distances, this should mean the asteroid will exhibit a safe pass, but it’s still one of the closest passes for an asteroid of this size for quite some time, at least since 2004.
"Small asteroids pass within this distance of Earth several times each week, but this upcoming close approach is the closest by any known asteroid of this size, or larger, since asteroid Toutatis, a 3.1-mile (five-kilometer) asteroid, which approached within about four lunar distances in September 2004," NASA explains.
NASA is typically spot-on with these kinds of asteroid-passing distance estimates, so when they say it should be a safe pass, their reputation appears to be trustworthy.
The space agency plans to track the asteroid from Goldstone from April 16-21 and from Arecibo from April 12-21. Because we can see it coming, you can bet astronomers around the world will be seizing the opportunity to observe the asteroid up close with all of the observation power they’ve got. Even NASA plans to try observing it in detail:
“Radar observations are planned at NASA's Goldstone Solar System Radar in California and the National Science Foundation’s Arecibo Observatory in Puerto Rico, and the resulting radar images could reveal surface details as small as a few meters,” the space agency says.
While we might be safe from a collision from 2014 JO25, the eerie fact is that we only know about a fraction of the flying rocks in our Solar System, so you never know if one might surprise us all someday. | aerospace | 1 |

Commercial Trike license to expand triking. What is the best strategy?
Published by: Paul Hamilton on 27th May 2011 | View all blogs by Paul Hamilton
Now that the sport pilot/LSA was been around for a while, we need a commercial trike licence (or weight-shift control certificate as the FAA calls it) for compensation and hire. This way we could provide tours, inspect utility lines, crop dusting, fly cargo to land in small areas like helicopters – the list goes on, use your imagination. Another practical use for the efficient/green operations of light sport aviation. It is part of the “green movement” to offer more efficient aviation services, less fuel used for similar operations.
They have commercial pilot licenses for airplanes, balloons, airships, helicopters, gyroplane, and gliders; why not trikes (OK and maybe powered parachutes).
It would have to be added to part 61 subpart F for pilots and part 91.327 to add commercial operations to S-LSA. If we combined this to add S-LSA airplanes we might get the numbers with EAA to make it happen.
Yes we need EAA and AOPA to accomplish this. Back when I started a year ago I asked the EAA HOW to get their support. They said “generate discussion with enough participation of members at 360oshkosh and we will support it”. So this is exactly what I started but not enough trikers cared at the time, so because of lack of support from trikers it has not progressed. Here it is ready to go:
IT MUST BE NOTED THAT EAA HAS SHUT DOWN DISCUSSION ON THIS TOPIC
If we want to make this happen lets continue with what the EAA said will get their support. It comes down to numbers for EAA. How many of their members support it.
Now that I think about it, the best way to get numbers is to rally with S-LSA airplanes to change 91.327 for commercial operations. This must be part of the change needed for a commercial trike certificate.
by Abid Farooqui 8 months ago Guys, please create a simple log-in at 365 (EAA) and post an endorsement comment for commercial license for trikes. Even a couple of lines. Apathy is basically saying “no”.
by B Alvarius 8 months ago Done.
I would suggest pointing out what is being done with trikes currently (that might fall under a commercial operation) and the FAA will react. If they see pilots and aircraft engaged in activities they believe they should be regulating they will regulate. It is a simple reactive approach.
I would suggest creating a list of commercial activities and examples.
See this post for government activities that fall under commercial activities
by Jan Ferreira 7 months ago My question is: Say for instance you want to do crop-spaying and need a commercial license, who will train you for your commercial license and who will test you? There are so many commercial activities that could be done, how do you guys see the training to be done? Since having a CFI certificate is already a commercial activity shouldn’t that training be upgraded instead of creating another costly and bureaucratic regulation?..I am only asking.
by Abid Farooqui 7 months ago Hi Jan,
Pretty simple. A CFI who gets his own commercial license will be allowed to teach to commercial level. Same as Private WSCL training is currently done.
by Uwe Goehl 7 months ago Good on you, Paul & Abid, for trying to push this topic.
Some other countries (Costa Rica comes to mind) already have a Commercial certification level for pilots and I believe it will help raise both the popularity and safety level of Weight-Shift Control aviation. Trikes offer several interesting commercial opportunities and I think it is necessary to bring these in from the legal-interpretation fringes to the mainstream.
by Abid Farooqui 7 months ago Yes Uwe. I know you are not in the US but please do not hesitate to go to the EAA link above and write your thoughts about this subject there
by Thomas Nielsen 7 months ago Thanks for raising the topic Paul – I too believe the Trike has great potential with a commercial “endorsement” aside from instruction/rental. With strapped county/state and federal budgets in the coming years I can see the trike as a much cheaper alternative to small choppers caring out various inspection or surveiliances duties for agencies or private entities.
Why should you be able to fly commercially in a 1975 C-172 and not in a BRS equipted, glas cockpit REVO ?
Everybody in the Trike community, from sunday pilots to potentially commercial operators would bennefit once money begins to flow into what would be an emerging GA submarket: Research and development, more products, better training etc.
While not quite on subject, I will even go as far as saying, that if current high-end trike builders would target a market outside the trike community, there could be the potential for turning some of our retirees from the Honda Goldwing into an airborne version – in particular if the highly engineered trike of today gets FAA approval as commercial aircraft and begins to be associated with commercial operations.
Will comment on link provided, Thanks!
by Abid Farooqui 7 months ago 16 replies at EAA forum total for supporting commercial license. C’mon guys. You personally may not use commercial but there truly are many uses for trikes at commercial license level. Please create a login for the EAA365 forum quickly and put down a couple of lines supporting this move.
by Dane HAUSER 7 months ago I joined it yesterday. It is worth it for all trike pilots to post there as it really will have a positive impact on all trikers. The more we can get these trikes out for the general public to see the more interest will be generated in our sport.
by Thomas Nielsen 7 months ago With reference to above post – I think this process is served additionally by not just looking at trikes as a sport but begin to treat and address this type of aircraft on 3 counts:
1) An Aircraft with significant commercial potential in the GA field due to much lower operating cost.
2) Sport / recreation
3) New market for the large amount of retiring babyboomers who really would like to fly but are unaware of the LSA license category and the level of trike engineering – still viewing the dream of flying as either A) Expensive and complicated B) Dangerous, while percieving the ultralight (cant differentiate to LSA) as a failure prone garage assembled build kit with a lawnmower engine.
….Hey how about 3 decked out REVO’s in a ferocious aerial futuristic combat scene….anybody who knows a Hollywood big wig 🙂
by Doug Boyle 7 months ago I know a little wig and I’m on it. Let’s get some ideas flowing as to the most interesting presentation to offer up.
by Uwe Goehl 7 months ago Well Thomas, that was my long-standing view of trikes (as failure-prone flying lawnchairs) until LSA came about and the FAA got involved in certification standards. Ah yes, and a good article in EAA’s Sport Aviation magazine.
I recognize that there exists a camp which feels that regulation of trikes has been a disaster, but in contrast, I view it as a potential boon to private flying as a safe, lower-cost alternative. Now . . . if only we could get trikes available to rent!
by John Olson 7 months ago There were zero Hawaiian disasters until the Feds got involved. Funny how that is overlooked huh?
by B Alvarius 7 months ago I do not believe the assertion has been overlooked just dismissed since correlation does not equal causation http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Correlation_does_not_imply_causation . If you believe there is a causal relationship then please explain your rational.
In light of your previous argument that locals were somehow involved by stating “I question what ia being done to determine ic the Kauai disasters were not due to sabotage. Even way back when I arrived there it was clear that trikes were unpopular. Plus there was competition too in recent years. Who is investigating this.as something other than an “accident”” combined with your stated distaste for the FAA why should anyone take this assertion seriously without supporting data?
by Jeff Messenger 7 months ago I spent several years trying to get a commercial certificate for several areas of trike usage here in the USA. I have an Airborne XT 912. We have a bilateral agreement with Australia. Their standards meet our standards. Their trikes and their pilots can get a commercial rating. So I discussed this with the FAA folks in Kansas city that are in charge of these type of things. They agreed with me but told me that no one was going to initiate that at this time. (2006) This was during the transition of two placed ultralights to E-LSA and LSA class. I called the FAA in washington and got referred to my local FAA field office at LAX. They told me that the dust would have to settle with the transition before even looking at something like that. They told me that the training syllabus would have to be written. I told them that there were plenty of trike pilots out there that had years of experience and would be glad to put it together for the FAA to look at. (People like Paul hamilton, Scott Johnson, etc.) (I just volunteered you guys!) Then they claimed they would have to come up with airframe certification processes. I talked to Edsel Ford, (yes that is his name,) in Oklahoma. He is the top guy at the FAA for airframe certification. This includes adding things to your airframe like cameras, sprayers, banners, towing hookups, etc. I was able to add my camera system to my aircraft after talking to the manufacture about the weight loading on the area I would mount it to, and since my aircraft is an E-LSA I just had to fly it around for 5 hours in a non-conjested area to have it legal. (and have it documented in your pilot logs and airframe log. With the exact wording the FAA wants you to use.) I also took the aircraft through all normal and emergency maneuvers, at a decent altitude, with the additional gear on to see if there were any flight characteristic changes. So I am ready!!! I am totally on board!! I think that with the economy the way it is and the fact that LSA aircraft can be used in so many ways, we should be allowed to have a business utilizing them. Plus they are great for search and rescue. We could pick up stranded people all day long in a flooded area. (with floats) And we can survey disasters at a much lower cost per hour then call in the expensive helicopters when we find injured folks that need medical transport or surface rescue. What can I do to help?
by Abid Farooqui 7 months ago Jeff, That’s great. Please go to the link posted in Paul’s blog above, click on it and create yourself a quick login at EAA’s Oshkosh365 and post your comments of support for commercial WSC pilot cert there and ask your trike friends and other pilots to do the same.
by George B 7 months ago Here is my post added to the EAA forum:
Please add my vote of support for a commercial license for trikes and other S-LSA aircraft as well.
With the many potential uses and the level of safety and well engineered aircraft that we enjoy today it just makes sense that a commercial license should be available.
Many modern day aviation pioneers have gone to great lengths paving the way to make this possible in much the same way as early aviation pioneers did. Trikes are a wonderful and unique form of aviation. Allowing commercial use of trikes and other S-LSA aircraft gives incentive to invest money in the development and sale of these great aircraft and professional training leading to even better safety and well trained pilots.
I strongly encourage EAA and FAA support and action to implement this important change. I believe this would be a great boost for aviation.
by Ken Nussear 7 months ago Hi Paul just saw on another forum that you posted this http://www.eaa.org/lightplaneworld/articles/1106_green_acres.asp
– thanks for your efforts to bring awareness to this topic.
by Uwe Goehl 5 months ago Oshkosh has come and gone . . . and I am wondering if there was any serious discussion during that time or any news on this topic?
by Paul Hamilton 12 days ago Here we go again. This commercial trike comes up about once a year. I have tried but we need an in the EAA. Who is the best to lead this effort with EAA????
by Tony Castillo 11 days ago Paul & Abid … In the EAA forum that thread has been archived and no new postings are accepted! can that be fixed?
by Tony Castillo 11 days ago when try to post it displays a message (that forum is archived) .. and directs to www.eaaforums.org. I wonder if the 360 @ EAA is no longer the forum place but instead is the eaaforums.org
by Ken Nussear 11 days ago Yes they moved to a new forum software and all of the old stuff exists only as archives….
IS the EAA forum really the place to get the EAA behind it, or just a place where people ramble on. What if the EAA chapters started organizing… like the New Mexico, or New Havasu group. What’s the best avenue to get it moving? | aerospace | 1 |

Should we hold fast on the Journey to Mars, building a waystation in cis-lunar space from where the first interplanetary missions could be dispatched? Or should we head back to the moon first, accessing the commercial, political, and scientific opportunities Earth’s nearest neighbor holds? Bruce Dorminey, a science journalist, suggests that we should head for #Venus first and sooner rather than later in a recent article in Forbes..
Venus may be a strange place anyone would want to go to. It’s high temperature and crushing pressure makes the planet’s surface the closest to a real-life hell as anyone would want to imagine. Conditions on Venus have crushed robotic probes and melted their electronics.
Dorminey’s idea imagines a Venus orbital mission to the second planet from the sun using the Orion/Space Launch System architecture. The astronauts would remote-control rovers on the planet’s surface built of modern materials and electronics designed to survive the hellish conditions there. Perhaps a balloon probe could be dropped in Venus’ upper atmosphere where conditions are relatively benign.
Besides the good science that could be done on Venus, the argument for going there would be to serve as a #Shakedown Cruise for interplanetary flight in advance of the Mars mission. Dorminey thinks, perhaps optimistically, that the Venus expedition could happen as early as 2023, still in President Donald Trump’s second term.
The idea of going to Venus, an understandably underexplored world, all things considered, is both beguiling and unlikely unless NASA gets far more money than most people think it is likely to get.
The arguments for Mars, as a place that might contain life and where people might live, and for the moon, rich as it is in resources, are too strong to be diverted to Venus, no matter what kind of science could be done there.
Still, one can imagine Venus happening if the Gwynne Shotwell scenario ever happened. Shotwell, the chief operating officer of SpaceX, once opined that a lot of arguments over space would disappear if NASA’s budget were to be $23 billion or $25 billion instead of the current $19.5 billion. The extra money would constitute a rounding error insofar as the federal budget is concerned. But so much more could be done, especially considering the possibility of commercial and international partnerships. It would be nice, for a change, for space visions to be limited only by the imagination rather than by the stingy amount of money the political class makes available. | aerospace | 1 |

The TV series is the first of its kind to depict the development of the Shenzhen series of manned spacecrafts, including details which were formerly confidential, said director Ning Haiqiang.
With the launch of the Shenzhou V two years ago, China became the third country in the world to carry out manned space flight, following the former Soviet Union and the United States.
China's first astronaut Yang Liwei, who made China's maiden manned space flight in October 2003 was counsellor for the TV series production.
Production of the TV series synchronized with the drilling of Shenzhou VI astronauts. It artistically reflects the mysterious selection and drilling life of astronauts, including stories of female astronaut candidates.

Aviation Operation Wing is currently conducting a graduated return to flying in order to prepare for and conduct safe and effective aviation operations for the AAFC.
At this time, these activities are for essential staff training only, and do not involve Cadets.
The activities are aimed at ensuring staff pilots have the skills, knowledge, currency and experience required to keep Cadets safe and conduct effective and efficient AAFC aviation operations once approval is given to recommence instructional and experience flights with Cadets.
This opportunity also allows staff to address the COVID-19 Safety aspects of a return to flying operations.
Herself a former Cadet, PLTOFF(AAFC) Russell is Flight Commander of the Warwick Gliding Training Flight.
The flight is a component of the newly established Glider Training School (GTS), which is a subordinate unit of Aviation Operations Wing of the AAFC.
GTS delivers flying pathways to Cadets and staff through gliding experiences and training using the AAFC’s fleet of DG1000S soaring gliders.
Pilot Officer (AAFC) Russell said: “We are looking forward to resuming the development of aviation skills in our Cadets and seeing them grow into skilled pilots”.
With appropriate training and experience Cadets as young as 15 years, the minimum legal age, can fly their first solo flight. | aerospace | 1 |

Vanguard 3 was launched by a modified Vanguard rocket from the Eastern Test Range into a geocentric orbit. The objectives of the flight were to measure the earth's magnetic field, the solar X-ray radiation and its effects on the earth's atmosphere, and the near-earth micrometeoroid environment. Instrumentation included a proton magnetometer, X-ray ionization chambers, and various micrometeoroid detectors. The spacecraft was a 50.8-cm-diameter magnesium sphere. The magnetometer was housed in a glass fiber phenolic resin conical tube attached to the sphere. Data transmission stopped on 11 December 1959, after 84 days of operation. The data obtained provided a comprehensive survey of the earth's magnetic field over the area covered, defined the lower edge of the Van Allen radiation belt, and provided a count of micrometeoroid impacts. Vanguard 3 has an expected orbital lifetime of 300 yr.

The student pilot received minor injuries. The airplane was substantially damaged. The 14 CFR Part 91 solo instructional flight was operating in visual meteorological conditions without a flight plan. The local flight originated at DET about 1600. Use your browsers 'back' function to return to synopsisReturn to Query Page
The student pilot stated he performed three full stop takeoffs and landings. The accident occurred during the fourth landing. He stated the airplane veered sharply to the left as he was beginning to flare. He stated he decided to go around so he added power, but the airplane did not gain altitude and it kept veering to the left. The student pilot stated he decided to extend the flaps and the last thing he remembers is reaching for the flap handle.
The airplane contacted a T-hangar which was located off the left side of the runway, coming to rest embedded in the T-hangar approximately 10 feet above the ground.
The local winds reported at 1653 were form 140 degrees at 11 knots. The local winds reported at 1707 were from 120 degrees at 10 knots.
Inspection of the airplane by an Inspector from the Federal Aviation Administration Detroit Flight Standards District Office failed to reveal any flight control failure/malfunction that would have resulted in the accident.
The student pilot reported having 39.6 total hours of flight time, 5.5 hours of which were solo. | aerospace | 1 |

Air Force contracts for 16 RS-25 expendable engines and transfers( loans?) them to NASA, NASA “owes” the Air force for these engines.These are flown on the first 3 to 4 SLS flights.The air force is owed engines that have higher molar mass engines ( hydrocarbon)
NASA agrees to transfer(loans?) the 17 SSME’s to the Air Force
The Air Force agrees to fund the R&D for recovering the SSME engines after each flight, these engines are worth recovering!
The Air Force Runs SSME on EELV with a 5% to 10% Methane gel( does it need modification?)
Production engines for both agency’s are incrementally evolved to a higher methane gel mix
NASA owes the Air Force so NASA needs a Methane gell CBC for the SLS so the Air Force agrees to look for a sweet spot between CBC and EELV commonality also NASA must replace the Air Forces SSME’s as they were out.This means the Air Force EELV must be human rated!
The SSME is already human rated
The Air Force and NASA will cost engineer the cost savings of SSME/EELV to see how many flights a recovered SSME would produce over years, assume SpaceX and ULA have won a percentage of flights.Cost engineering should done by NASA, The Air Force and an independent third party. SSME’s are reusable and with 16 flight sets the Air Force with recovery could see at 10 flights per engine X 2 engines per launch vehicle(3 for a heavy)yields a result of 160 flights divided by 2 equals 80 flights.Refurbishment costs of each Air force SSME would have to be researched by cost engineers.We are talking about opportunity costs here versus delayed expenses (SSME refurbishment VS AF not having to pay for a new engine R&D)
If this SSME/RS-25 CBC as a EELV is to large even for the biggest NRO payloads then the Air Force agrees to the idea of co-manifesting NASA or commercial payloads ( each CBC would have two to three engines) The two engine SSME EELV would make for the better launcher with some Methane gel Molar mass.Two engines make for a better recovery option.
NASA and the ESA agree to explore the joint development of the winged engine recovery option as long as the air force requirement is meet on this being sold to everyone.This would be built in the united states and Europe.(a US Adeline) | aerospace | 1 |

1990 words 8 pagesExecutive Summary
In fierce competition with Boeing, venture into VLA segment – as a rather neglected segment by Boeing – could pose as a strategic opportunity for Airbus which it could utilize to build a competitive advantage combined with its technological resources and capabilities. However, its assumptions of a drastic increase in VLAs demanded in next 20 years along with its ability to satisfy most of this are too optimistic. Provided that these assumptions (inc. breakeven points, initial order requirements) are normalized, A3XX is a project worthy to pursue for Airbus in order to exploit a neglected spot on the perceptional map – long-haul + big capacity. When we hold the market itself continues to grow as proposed in the case, this …show more content…
The main competitive advantages of airlines are its unique technological capabilities such as “fly-by-wire” technology and “cross crew qualification” (CCQ).
Despite the gains in market share, if Airbus do not develop a model in VLA segment, they would lose a big competitive advantage since they are also behind Boeing in small and medium sized aircraft segments. The 747 family constitutes a monopoly in the large aircraft segment, in which Airbus doesn’t exist. The Boeing 747 can currently provide non-stop service in the same routes that A3XX can do, therefore Boeing saw VLA market as unnecessary. The lack of attention by the main competitor is an opportunity for Airbus, since it can gain the first mover advantage without any stress of being second in this strategic move.
The capability of accommodating baggage, cargo, and/or passenger amenities is an important advantage for A3XX compared to B747’s since better passenger satisfaction can be managed with this kind of comfort attributes in long routes.
As for Boeing possible retaliation, Boeing would likely respond in one of four ways: it could develop a stretch version of the 747 (the 747X), cut prices on the 747, develop a competing super jumbo jet, or ignore the potential threat. Boeing could respond Airbus’s attempts with introducing a stretch version of the 747 (the 747X, that has over 500 seats) that has similar properties with A3XX. This launch would | aerospace | 1 |

In the pattern, it feels like there’s barely enough time on downwind to get the airplane configured and go through the before-landing checklist. But as your training progresses, time seems to magically slow down. Or rather, our mental processes speed up. All of a sudden, the downwind leg becomes much longer, with time to spare! With practice, a similar warping can happen to runway length—or our perception of it. Budd Davisson shows us how to make every runway seem longer, mentally. He discusses the factors that shape runways and techniques you can use to “lengthen” them.
One airplane that makes every runway seem absurdly long is the Rans S-20 Raven. James Wynbrandt reports on his flight in the light-sport taildragger, which has a landing distance of 340 feet and a takeoff roll of 300 feet. Also in this issue, Wynbrandt tries out a Piper Meridian with Bart Jones, Piper’s chief pilot. The single-engine PA-46 is designed for the pilot who has no experience with turboprops, and their easy flight to Key West is demonstration of the airplane’s simplicity.

One contract is for engineering, technical and maintenance work to upgrade aircraft carriers. The work will be done by Northrop subsidiary Amsec LLC under a five-year contract worth up to $73.4 million.
The work will be done in Norfolk, Va., San Diego, Bremerton, Wash. and other locations and is expected to be done by May 2011, the company said.
The other contract is to upgrade the bridges on five Nimitz-class U.S. Navy aircraft carriers.
Northrop said the fixed-price contract will complete bridge upgrades for the entire Nimitz class. It said the upgrade would make navigation safer, and would give the bridge systems more in common with systems and software used on other Navy ships.
The value of the contract was not specified in a news release.
Northrop said the system includes so-called "paperless navigation" that will allow the crew to switch from plotting their course on paper nautical charts to computerized displays.
Northrop shares fell $1.15 to close at $57.09. | aerospace | 1 |

The agency took to X (formerly known as Twitter) to share this pivotal development. The mission’s Lander Module (LM), comprising the lander named Vikram and the rover Pragyan, is slated to make a precision landing within the Moon’s southern polar region at 6:04 pm today. This imminent lunar touchdown marks a momentous stride, as no nation has hitherto achieved a successful lunar landing within this particular geographical expanse.
ISRO Prepares for Chandrayaan-3 Lunar Landing: Automatic Landing Sequence Activation Imminent
In a significant announcement on its official Twitter account, the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) has conveyed its readiness to embark on a pivotal phase of the Chandrayaan-3 lunar mission. The organization’s tweet confirmed its preparedness to initiate the Automatic Landing Sequence (ALS), a moment that has been keenly anticipated by space enthusiasts and the scientific community alike. The key timeline for this event has also been provided by ISRO, which further elucidates the meticulous planning that underpins this endeavor.
What is an Automatic Landing Sequence?
The Automatic Landing Sequence (ALS) constitutes a pivotal component within the Chandrayaan-3 lunar landing operation. It represents an intricate orchestration of automated procedures and advanced technologies designed to facilitate a secure and precise landing of the Lander Module (LM) on the lunar surface.
Upon receiving the initiation command for the ALS, the LM, consisting of the lander (Vikram) and the rover (Pragyan), undergoes a series of precisely choreographed actions. Central to this sequence is the activation of the LM’s throttleable engines, a fundamental component of the powered descent maneuver. These engines are meticulously controlled to regulate the craft’s descent velocity, trajectory, and orientation as it approaches the lunar surface.
The execution of the ALS is subject to rigorous monitoring by ISRO’s dedicated mission operations team. This vigilant oversight is crucial to ensuring the seamless sequential execution of the automated commands, each of which contributes to the controlled and accurate descent of the LM.
Preceding the scheduled touchdown, the necessary commands are transmitted to the LM from ISRO’s Indian Deep Space Network (IDSN) facility. These commands are meticulously prepared and uploaded several hours in advance, meticulously accounting for mission parameters, lunar conditions, and trajectory considerations. The IDSN serves as the communication backbone, facilitating the exchange of critical instructions and data between the mission control center and the spacecraft.
Navigating Challenges in the Lunar Landing Phase
The lunar landing phase is a critical juncture in the Chandrayaan-3 mission, fraught with challenges that demand precise execution and mastery of engineering principles. As the Lander Module (LM) approaches an altitude of around 30 kilometers above the lunar surface, it confronts a series of hurdles that necessitate meticulous strategy and technological finesse. Central to this phase is the implementation of the powered braking maneuver, a pivotal undertaking that hinges on the coordinated operation of the LM’s four thruster engines. This maneuver, colloquially referred to as “retro firing,” plays a decisive role in regulating the craft’s speed and counteracting the Moon’s gravitational pull, thereby averting the risk of a crash upon impact.
Precision Engine Control and Soft Lunar Landing: A Delicate Descent Strategy
The final phases of the Chandrayaan-3 lunar descent encompass a sequence of meticulously calculated maneuvers, exemplifying the culmination of advanced engineering and precise execution. As the Lander Module (LM) approaches an altitude of approximately 6.8 kilometers above the lunar surface, a strategic transition occurs, involving a pivotal change in engine utilization and an intricate descent strategy.
ISRO Chairman Highlights Critical Phases in Lunar Landing Process
In a recent statement, ISRO Chairman S. Somanath underscored the paramount significance of key phases within the lunar landing process for the Chandrayaan-3 mission. The chairman’s remarks shed light on the intricacies involved in the challenging descent and landing maneuvers, specifically emphasizing two critical stages that demand meticulous execution and technical prowess.
Post-Landing Challenges and Mission Prospects for Chandrayaan-3
The successful soft landing of the Chandrayaan-3 mission marks the commencement of a new phase of exploration on the lunar surface. While this achievement is remarkable, it brings forth a set of challenges and considerations that underscore the intricacies of lunar exploration. Here are the key post-landing challenges and mission prospects for the Chandrayaan-3 endeavor:
Rover Deployment and Surface Exploration:
After achieving a precise and controlled landing, the Chandrayaan-3 mission transitions to the next phase: the deployment of the rover, Pragyan. The rover’s descent from the lander’s platform onto the lunar surface is executed using a side panel as a ramp. This delicate operation demands synchronization and precision to ensure that the rover is deployed safely and effectively.
Lunar Dust Challenge:
One notable challenge that the lander may face upon touchdown is the dispersal of lunar dust. The firing of the LM’s onboard engines in close proximity to the lunar surface can result in the disturbance and scattering of lunar regolith. This lunar dust, composed of fine particles, has the potential to affect the surrounding environment, including the lander’s systems and scientific instruments. Addressing this challenge necessitates advanced engineering strategies to mitigate the impact of lunar dust on the mission’s objectives.
Limited Mission Duration and Expansion Possibilities:
The operational timeline for the Chandrayaan-3 mission is characterized by a relatively short duration due to the constraints of the lunar day-night cycle. With one lunar day lasting approximately 14 Earth days, the lander and rover are anticipated to conduct their scientific investigations within this timeframe. However, ISRO remains open to the prospect of extending the mission’s duration for an additional lunar day, should conditions and opportunities permit. This potential extension reflects ISRO’s commitment to extracting maximal scientific value from the mission’s capabilities. | aerospace | 1 |

Mars’s thin atmosphere makes slowing using a parachute difficult, which is why Mars missions are typically equipped with very large and high-tech parachutes to help rovers touch down gently on the red planet.
The European Space Agency (ESA) and Roscosmos will be sending their ExoMars rover to Mars in 2022, and they recently performed a high-altitude test of the rover’s parachute. But there were problems during the test, with one of the two parachutes being damaged when the pilot chute detached. The team will be checking data and making adjustments in the hope of fixing the issue before the next test later this year.
ESA performed two tests of the system over June 24 and 25, taking the parachute to an altitude of 29 km (18 miles) using a helium balloon and dropping it along with a dummy descent module which simulates the size and weight of the rover as it will land. The parachute has two stages: A 15-meter-wide first stage which opens while the vehicle is still traveling at supersonic speeds, and a 35-meter-wide second stage, which slows the vehicle further.
“We’re very happy to report that the first main parachute performed perfectly: We have a supersonic parachute design that can fly to Mars,” said Thierry Blancquaert, ExoMars program team leader.
Regarding the issue with the second parachute, Blancquaert went on to say, “The performance of the second main parachute was not perfect but much improved, thanks to the adjustments made to the bag and canopy. After a smooth extraction from the bag, we experienced an unexpected detachment of the pilot chute during final inflation. This likely means that the main parachute canopy suffered extra pressure in certain parts. This created a tear that was contained by a Kevlar reinforcement ring. Despite that, it fulfilled its expected deceleration and the descent module was recovered in good state.”
The team hopes to have this issue resolved ready for the next testing phase, which is scheduled to take place in October or November this year in Oregon.

Authorities of Hang Nadim International Airport in Batam, Riau Islands, say the visibility at the airport and in surrounding areas has decreased to below 500 meters, forcing them to delay all flights scheduled to depart on Tuesday morning. Several flights scheduled to land in Hang Nadim were rerouted to other airports, they added.
'Visibility was still below 500m this morning. No flight has departed from the airport and flight arrivals have also been disrupted,' Hang Nadim International Airport general affairs manager Suwarso said as quoted by Antara news agency in Batam on Tuesday morning.
He said it was the worst visibility the smoke from forest fires in Sumatra had caused in Batam.
Antara reported that visibility had been getting worse since Monday afternoon, causing the disruption of flights bound for Hang Nadim, Batam. Based on airport arrival data, eight flights should have landed as of 8:30 a.m. local time on Tuesday, but reportedly no flights arrived.
Three departures, Lion Air flights departing for Jakarta and Pangkal Pinang and a Garuda Indonesia flight departing for Jakarta, have been delayed until the situation to improves.
'We have continued to monitor the situation and are still waiting for developments. Thick smoke blanketing the airport's runways is still disrupting our flight schedules,' said Suwarso.
A number of people who came to pick up friends and relatives at Hang Nadim Airport said they had not yet received information on when the rerouted flights would arrive in Batam.
'I was informed that the Lion Air flight from Jakarta is still in Medan [in North Sumatra]. It has not yet departed to Batam,' said Rizal. The disrupted flight schedules have caused a passenger build-up at the airport's departure terminal. (ebf)(++++)

Skunk Works segment in Palmdale, Calif., needed electro-optical sensors for the company's Stalker XE small silent unmanned aircraft. They found their solution from Trillium Engineering LLC in Hood River, Ore.
Trillium will provide the company's HD55 UAV sensor payload for the Lockheed Martin Stalker. The HD55 is designed for Group 2 or smaller UAVs. It uses cooled mid-wave infrared (MWIR) cameras and onboard image processor packaged in a gimbal that measures 5.5 inches in diameter and weighs slightly less than four pounds.
The bungee-launched Stalker UAV weighs 24 pounds, has a 12-foot wingspan, can fly for as long as eight hours, at speeds as fast as 45 miles per hour, at altitudes as high as 12,000 feet, and can carry payloads as heavy as 5.5 pounds.
Optionally powered by a ruggedized solid oxide fuel cell, stalker XE runs on propane, and can be reconfigured in the field to a battery-powered option that provides four hours of endurance. The system also has been upgraded with a vertical take-off and landing capability.
The Trillium HD55 electro-optical UAV sensor payload replaces the company's HD50, which came in four configurations and first was delivered in 2014.
The HD55 has the same swept volume as its predecessor but is slightly lighter and more capable to enable the new system to get a closer, more actionable look at targets, says Trillium President Rob Gilchrist.
Trillium personnel started flight testing the HD55 last May on small UAVs and on a manned Cessna light aircraft. The small UAV sensor payload is for intelligence of visible-light and infrared video, as well as target location.
Trillium also is introducing a new configuration of the HD55 sensor payload that comes in a 5.5-inch gimbal, weighs slightly more than three pounds, has a visible-light camera, and continue-zoom midwave IR camera.
Future plans also include integrating the sensor with a new video processor, camera stabilization, target tracking, new camera interfaces, H.265-standard data encryption, and ability to transmit video and sensor command and control information over the Internet. | aerospace | 1 |

As soon as travelers tend to be used into world orbit, this indicates possible that room hotels could possibly be created for extended stop-overs in space. Then he continued to mention that quick “sight-seeing” tours for the Moon maybe started from these supreme accommodation. Whenever we should be generate happen to be the Moon regimen adequate to submit visitors there, the travels will have to feel as brief as you are able to.
So how longer could be the commute from the environment towards the moonlight in any event? Humankind and equipments are making that journey on a number of times. And even though some got many years, other individuals had been astonishingly fast. Let’s review various objectives and practices, and view which provides one particular effective and least time consuming ways of transit.
Lots of objectives has arrived in lunar orbit and landed regarding the lunar surface, nevertheless ways of getting discover commonly differing. Whether a mission utilizes a skyrocket to shoot its method here, or a subtle ion motor to gradually edge the payload closer, we now have many options available to united states when we visit the moonlight later on. To this end, I’ll render an easy rundown from slowest to speediest aircraft to Earth’s organic satellite 380,000 kilometer away.
The slowest mission to travel into the Moon was in fact one of the more sophisticated technologies as delivered into room. The ESA’s SMART-1 lunar probe was launched on Sep 27th, 2003 and made use of a revolutionary ion system to move it for the moonlight. SMART-1 gradually spiraled out of the Earth to reach at their location 12 months, a month as well as 2 days in the future November 11th, 2004.
The SMART-1 goal, which depends on ionic propulsion. Image Credit: ESA
SMART-1 was sluggish, however it got probably the most gasoline practical. The craft used merely 82 kg of xenon propellant for your goal (ending with a lunar effects in 2006). The SMART-1 mission are an oddity since it is by far the longest mission into Moon, the rest of the objectives got a point of time to achieve lunar orbit.
China’s Chang’e-1 mission was launched from Xichang Satellite Launch target Oct 24th 2007 but sat in Earth orbit til Oct 31st if it started their transportation into Moon and arrived in lunar orbit on November 5th. The goal for that reason took five days to pay for the distance, using its skyrocket boosters. This was used right up by Chang’e 2 orbiter, which launched on Oct 1st 2010 and found its way to lunar orbit within 4 days and 16 time.
Recently, Chang’e 3 probe and lander founded on Dec. first, 2013 at 17:30 UTC and found its way to Lunar orbit on December 6th at 9:53 UTC. It had been therefore the quickest from the Chang’e missions, taking 4 time, 12 many hours, and 23 mins to achieve the Moon before deplyoing its lander towards the lunar area.

But was the first-even unmanned goal to your moonlight which was the fastest. This purpose got known as the Soviet Luna 1 probe, which completed a flyby associated with moonlight in 1959. This fundamental, but groundbreaking probe premiered on January second and travelled beyond the Moon by various thousand kilometers on January fourth. It just grabbed 36 many hours to really make the excursion, consequently travel the average increase of 10,500 km/hr.
The Apollo objectives, that have been truly the only manned Lunar mission, were relatively fast in achieving the moonlight. Normally, it actually was the Apollo 11 purpose, where Neil Armstrong and hype Aldrin turned the initial guys to walk on the Moon, that made the very best statements. This goal began on July sixteenth, 1969, in which a Saturn V multi-stage skyrocket grabbed the astronauts from Kennedy Space Center into orbit.
They reached lunar orbit after merely 51 hours and 49 minutes in room, arriving on July 19th, 1969. The popular “One small step for man…” message will never take place until July 21st, about 109 time and 42 minutes to the objective. After dusting off from the Lunar exterior, the Lunar component invested another 2 period, https://hookupdaddy.net/ios-hookup-apps 22 several hours and 56 mins obtaining back to Earth. Very and end up being the basic manned goal, Apollo 11 has also been the quickest visit to the Moon in which astronauts comprise included.

Quickest Mission up to now:
By far, the quickest objective to fly past the Moon ended up being NASA’s New perspectives Pluto goal. This mission had a speedy publish, with its Atlas V skyrocket accelerating they to a a speed of around 16.26 km per second (58,536 km/h; 36,373 miles per hour). At this particular rate, they just grabbed 8 many hours and 35 mins because of it to make it to the Moon from Earth. Quite a good start because of this probe, that has been on its way to Pluto in addition to Kuiper buckle at the time.
Although this try remarkable, it’s well worth bearing in mind that brand new Horizons had not been decreasing to get in lunar orbit (since ended up being the scenario every one of the manned and unmanned goal into the Moon stated earlier). For this reason, it had been most likely still accelerating long after it had put the moonlight within the rear-view echo (presuming it have one).
Purpose concepts such as the room release program and Orion Multi-Purpose Crew Vehicle (MPCV) also come into play in the near future. On December fifth, 2014, an unmanned test in the Orion pill occurred, officially called research flight-test 1. creating established atop a Delta IV significant rocket, the pill reached minimum planet Orbit, realized two orbits with the environment, and then splashed straight down once again 4.5 time after.

Throughout the trip, EFT-1 reached rates as much as 8.9 km/s (32,187 km/h; 20,000 mph). During this velocity, an Orion purpose could conceivably get to the moonlight (at the average point of 384,400 kilometres) in nearly 12 several hours. Clearly, variations will have to be created for body weight (as it need a crew), and deceleration. But still, that is maybe not a negative platform for a tourist journey.
Very, whenever area tourism begins mounting sight-seeing tours or missions toward Moon, they’re going to have several options. They can offer lengthy cruises, carefully gliding towards the moonlight utilizing ion motors to slowly allow tourists take in the views. Or they are able to opt for the thrilling skyrocket experience of for years and years, blasting visitors off into space and whipping them in merely a couple of days. Hard to say which men and women would like, but clearly there are many that would pay handsomely when it comes down to options.

Over 1,400 of the type was eventually produced in France and overseas and many subvariants and test platforms were born from the same sound original design. The delta-wing performer was a ground-breaking system for its time and made evermore popular by its combat performance in Israeli hands during the 1967 Six Day War. While retired from most major air powers of the world, the Mirage III still maintains a small footprint in inventories of a few select air forces today (2013).
Founded in 1929 by Marcel Dassault (born as Marcel Bloch) and based in Paris, France, the Dassault Aviation concern emerged from the devastation of World War 2 (1939-1935) to become one of the leading aviation companies of Europe. In 1952, the French government required a new, lightweight supersonic interceptor to counter the threat posed by Soviet nuclear-capable bombers and fighters. Dassault responded with their "Mystere-Delta 550" (M.D.550) concept which utilized a single-seat, twin-engine, delta-wing planform with single vertical tail fin. Power for the aircraft was served through 2 x British Armstrong Siddeley MD30R Viper afterburning turbojet engines backed by a rocket thruster. The M.D.550 achieved first flight on June 25th, 1955.
The M.D.550 product then evolved to become the "Mirage I" concept with a revised wing surface. This model achieved first flight in November of 1956 and set a maximum speed mark of Mach 1.6. While promising from a performance stand point, the Mirage I was not a realistic military-minded product which was intended to carry internal cannon, a useful fuel store, onboard interception radar and external missiles. As such Dassault moved on the slightly larger "Mirage II" concept though this was eventually given up for good with the dimensionally larger "Mirage III" design being furthered.
Based on the wartime German BMW 003 series turbojet, French manufacturer SNECMA developed its in-house Atar 101G-1 turbojet and a single installation of this system would power the new Mirage III airframe. The airframe retained the delta-wing planform seen in earlier prototypes and the single vertical tail fin with seating for one pilot. The fuselage was very slim and dart-like in its design approach, making maximum use of aerodynamics to achieve the projected Mach 2 speeds for the French interceptor. The Atar engine developed some 9,700lbs of thrust and offered afterburning for short bursts of concentrated speed. First flight of a Mirage III prototype was claimed on November 17th, 1956 while a tenth test flight netted a maximum speed of Mach 1.5. Testing indicated turbulent airflow along the two half-moon intakes aspirating the Atar engine so adjustable shock cones were added to each opening. In this revised configuration, the Mirage III reached a speed of Mach 1.8.
Impressed with the new Dassault product, the French government moved on ordering the type for service and this begat the "Mirage IIIA" preproduction designation. Aircraft would be outfitted with the SNECMA Atar 09B turbojet engine of 13,228lbs thrust. The fuselage was extended slightly to house the Thomson Cyrano air intercept radar system and a drag chute was added to reduce runway roll upon landing. First flight of a Mirage IIIA aircraft was in May of 1958 and the model eventually clocked a maximum speed of Mach 2.2 - fulfilling the French government's high speed request while also becoming the first European aircraft to exceed Mach 2 in level flight.
Following the limited batch of preproduction Mirage IIIAs was the combat-capable "Mirage IIIC". This was a single-seat, all-weather interceptor which first flew in prototype form during October of 1960 and was armed with 2 x 30mm DEFA internal cannons, outfitted with the Cyrano interception radar and provision for air-to-air missiles. The French Air Force ordered these in number and supplemented the type through the "Mirage IIIB" two-seat trainer. Mirage IIIB models included a second cockpit for the instructor, lacked the radar installation and internal cannons and sported a lengthened fuselage. Deliveries of Mirage IIIC interceptors to French units occurred in July of 1961 with orders also placed by Israel (Mirage IIICJ) and South Africa (Mirage IIICZ) by this time. Mirage IIIB trainers were also in use with the forces of Israel, Lebanon, South Africa and Switzerland.
Even as the Mirage IIIC interceptor mount was becoming entrenched in French air service, Dassault promoted a long-range, all-weather air defense/strike fighter (multirole) variant of the design as the "Mirage IIIE". The prototype first flew on April 1st, 1961 and included a lengthened fuselage with increased avionics and fuel, a Marconi navigation radar, Radar Warning Receiver (RWR) and Cyrano II series air-ground radar. The Mirage IIIE was outfitted with the SNECMA Atar 09C series afterburning turbojet engine and a total of three prototypes furthered the endeavor prior to production. After adoption by the French Air Force, the IIIE was also licensed-produced in the countries of Australia, Belgium and Switzerland while fielded by the forces of Argentina, Brazil, Lebanon, Pakistan, South Africa, Spain and Venezuela under various export designations. To the Mirage IIIE model was added the requisite Mirage IIID two-seat trainer form which was also purchased by Pakistan, Spain, South Africa, Switzerland and Venezuela. French Air Force Mirage IIIE models were cleared for nuclear ordnance.
As with other interceptor aircraft of the period, a dedicated reconnaissance-minded form soon emerged as the "Mirage IIIR". This variant offered the ground attack frames of the Mirage IIIE models with the avionics suite of the Mirage IIIC interceptor. They lacked radar under the nose cone and housed multiple cameras for photo-reconnaissance sorties instead. The Mirage IIIR was then improved through the "Mirage IIIRD" initiative. Reconnaissance types were adopted outside of France by the forces of Israel, Pakistan, South Africa and Switzerland.
The Mirage 5 was a related Mirage IIIE series offshoot and developed by Dassault to fulfill a clear-weather/ground attack requirement for Israel. The prototype went airborne on May 19th, 1967 with its lengthened nose cone (housing a simplified radar installation) as a single-seat, all-weather dedicated strike platform. Ultimately, 582 of the type were produced and examples fielded by France, Belgium, Egypt, Pakistan and several others. Due to French politics blocking the Mirage 5 to Israel, Israeli Mirage IIIs were evolved in-house into the excellent "Kfir". In French Air Force service, the Mirage 5 was the Mirage 5F. Belgian Mirage 5s were locally-produced and many Mirage 5 customers eventually saw modernized avionics introduced.
The Mirage 50 became a multi-role variant outfitted with the SNECMA Atar 9K-50 engine while reconstituting the Mirage 5 airframe. A prototype went airborne in 1979 and proved the design sound. Key to the model was its integration of a Head-Up Display (HUD), advanced radar system and improved flight dynamics (such as use of canards). The series was offered in a modernized form through the Mirage 50M designation.
The Mirage IIIV was another Mirage III form developed as a heavily revised variant to serve as a Vertical Take-Off and Landing (VTOL) fighter for NATO. However, the type was never adopted into NATO service and two manufactured, the first flying in February of 1965.
Current Mirage III operators include Argentina and Pakistan. Countries such as France, Australia, Egypt and Venezuela have since given up the Mirage III in favor of more modern alternatives or due to forced budget cuts. South Africa developed the French design into the Atlas Denel "Cheetah". Belgian Mirage IIIs were known as SABCA "Elkan".
One of the primary reasons for the global success of the Mirage III line was its use by Israeli forces during the 1967 Six Day War where it became a certified combat platform. Israeli success against enemy MiGs was much-publicized and solidified the type's standing on the global market, driving sales for Dassault in turn. While the type's delta-wing configuration made her slow in turning, the fighter excelled in other key areas that made them priceless commodities in the Israeli Air Force inventory of the period. | aerospace | 1 |

a. Heavy. Aircraft capable of takeoff weights of more than 255,000lbs whether or not they are operating at this weight during a particular phase of flight.
b. Large. Aircraft of more than 41,000lbs, maximum certificated takeoff weight, up to 255,000lbs.
c. Small. Aircraft of 41,000lbs or less maximum certificated takeoff weight.
I would like to add that many airlines get a waiver or exemtion. For example I flew the Saab 340 at Amer Eagle and our op specs granted us authority to operate as a large airplane--even though we were only 29300 gross.
I'm curious, what is the purpose of the exemption? I guess to allow less separation between you and the guy in front of you, but if so, what is it about the Saab (or any other plane granted such an exemption) that makes it less susceptable to wake turbulence? Higher wing loading?
IMHO the exemption on the Saab and ATR(and probably many other models- but can on vouch for saab) had nothing to do with safety but rather economics. The FAA allowed this as they probably felt it was safe enough and did not want to congest the busy airspace(JFK,LGA,BOS,DCA,DFW,Lax, ....)and create any more delays by adding the additional mile seperation and 1 minute under certain circumstances. * Probably no different than allowing land and hold short operations in order to better utilize our resources--I think anyone can see that landing more than one a.c. at a time greatly increases the chance of incidents but are willing to look the other way | aerospace | 1 |

Seat padding was adequate for a longer flight in economy. This aircraft had older thicker seats which are better than the new slimline seats with far less padding.
Recline was average at 4 inches from the upright position. I wouldn’t want this for a flight longer than 4-5 hours maximum.
There were 2.5 inches between my knee and the seat in front of me. The width was an average 17.25 inches between arm rests. The living space was 28 inches from seat back to the seat in front.

Prices at time of booking:

Payment method reasoning: I don’t chase airline status.
Boarding was a bit chaotic which seems to be the norm for Delta. No real lines nor signage to speak of. Gate screens rarely updated with which group is boarding.
Once on board the crew did a decent job of keeping the line moving and helping passengers stow baggage and find their seats.
During taxi to the runway I was able to get my IFE reset by the crew as it was not functional when I boarded.
The crew was able to reset my IFE and for several passengers around me having issues. It worked well afterward.
Once in the air onboard service was slightly delayed by some turbulence. About an hour into the flight food and beverage services began.
Later in the flight the crew came around offering water to the passengers from a tray. Several passengers made requests for other drinks and they were served as well.
About and hour before landing the crew did another full drink and snack service. All three services were good and efficient overall.
The crew was quick and efficient with the service and got everyone served quickly. They started with drinks first and food cart followed after. They were less friendly than other Delta crews I have flown with recently.
IFE and power:
Each seat had USB ports and each row had 2 power outlets between the seats in front down by the floor.
Touch screen IFE was in the seatback of each seat. Mine was not functional during the entire flight so I did not get any photos nor could I review it properly.
WiFi was offered on board. Delta offers free messaging app usage over WiFi which was especially nice on this longer flight. Beyond messaging apps paid options were available in 2 levels: browsing and streaming.
WiFi service and price levels are shown below for reference. I did not purchase any paid WiFi service on this flight.
The complimentary food items were cheezits, granola bars, almonds, or Biscoff cookies.
Paid food options were also available for large food items. Photos of the menu are shown below for reference.
I had the cheezits as I had food at the lounge for free beforehand.
Drink options included Coca-cola products, juices, coffee, tea, water, and a full range of alcoholic beverages.
All of the alcoholic beverages were available for purchase at an expensive $8-10 USD each.
I had a Coke and some water.
Bulkhead and exit rows are the best economy seats in this aircraft aside from that any non middle seat that isn’t directly in front of an exit row are best.
I got lucky with an empty middle seat on the long flight which was a big bonus.
Service was good and efficient even though the crew was less friendly the my other recent flights with Delta.
Buggy IFE and annoying loud passengers next to me took away from the experience. The crew did seem less interested in their work than my other recent experiences
Would I fly again?
Yes! Even with the drawbacks of this flight most of the issues could be encountered on any airline. The seat and service were adequate. | aerospace | 1 |

Tata Sons chairman N Chandrasekaran reacted to the incident of a drunk man who reportedly urinated on a female co-passenger on Air India's New York to Delhi flight in November and called it a matter of personal anguish between him and his colleagues at the airline. He also claimed that the airline's response should've been "much swifter," news agency ANI reported on Sunday.
Why does this story matter?
- An FIR was registered in the case on January 4, almost 40 days after the astounding incident of November 26.
- Notably, the complaint was registered after the victim had written to Air India's parent Tata Sons' chairman.
- The airline claimed a complaint wasn't registered previously because the woman rescinded her initial request for the accused's arrest after a settlement.
Air India's response should've been much swifter: Chandrasekaran
Chandrasekaran said that Air India and Tata Group stand by the well-being and safety of their crew and passengers with full conviction. "Incident on Air India flight AI102 on 26 Nov 2022, has been a matter of personal anguish to me and my colleagues at Air India. Air India's response should've been much swifter," the chairman said.
Pilot, crew of New York-Delhi flight grounded
On Saturday, Air India officially grounded four cabin crew members and a pilot of the New York-Delhi flight amid the urinating incident. The airline released a show-cause notice to the staff on board over the incident, which caused an across-the-board outrage. In another statement, the company said that the incident could have been handled way better.
Air India CEO Campbell Wilson's statement
"Four cabin crew and one pilot have been issued show cause notices and de-rostered pending investigation," said Campbell Wilson, Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Air India. "Internal investigations into whether there were lapses by other staff are ongoing on aspects including the service of alcohol on the flight, incident handling, complaint registration on board, and grievance handling," Wilson added.
Accused arrested by Delhi Police team from Bengaluru
Accused Shankar Mishra, the Mumbai businessman wanted by Delhi Police for urinating on an elderly woman on the Air India flight in November, was arrested from Bengaluru and brought over to Delhi. The accused also got sacked by his employer Wells Fargo on Friday. The multinational financial services company from the United States labeled the allegations against Mishra as "deeply disturbing."
We find allegations deeply disturbing: Wells Fargo
"Wells Fargo holds employees to the highest standards of professional and personal behavior and we find these allegations (against Mishra) deeply disturbing. This individual has been terminated from Wells Fargo," the company stated in its official release on Friday. | aerospace | 1 |

No casualties have been reported.
"The pilot ejected safely. There is no reported damage on the ground to any civil life or property," IAF said in a press release.
The twin-seater trainer aircraft that took off from Jamnagar airbase in Gujarat crashed within minutes. It was on a routine flying training sortie.
The IAF personnel flew to the accident spot in Chetak and Mi-8 helicopters and rushed the pilot to a military hospital in Jamnagar air base.
This has been the seventh reported incident of IAF plane crash. The last crash of MiG-29 was fatal when the 26-year-old pilot died in the accident on July 15 this year. The incident took place near Uttarlai in Rajasthan. Another crash was on June 24 where a MiG-29 had crashed near Jamnagar.
The other aircrafts that have crashed this year include a MiG-27, MiG-21, a Su-30MKI and a Mi-17V5 medium-lift helicopter.
The MiG crashes have resulted in death of more than 170 pilots and 40 civilians in past 40 years according to the IAF records. As a result, the crashes gave a nickname to the MiG series as "flying coffin" and the "widow maker". The reasons for crash have been human error, technical defects and bird strikes.
Incidentally, India has been the first international customer for these fighter planes acquiring about 800 fighter planes from Russia. The IAF has a fleet of over 200 MiG-21s in 12 squadrons, 100 MiG-27s in five squadrons and 60 MiG-29s in service. India plans to phase out the MiG-21s by 2019.
"A Court of Inquiry has been ordered to investigate into the cause of the accident," IAF added. | aerospace | 1 |

Chandrayaan-3 was a proposed mission by the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) to further explore the Moon. Chandrayaan-1, India’s first lunar mission, was launched in 2008, and it was followed by Chandrayaan-2 in 2019. Chandrayaan-2 was a more ambitious mission that included an orbiter, lander, and rover. However, the lander (Vikram) had a hard landing and was not successful in making a soft landing on the lunar surface.
Chandrayaan-3 was expected to be a follow-up mission primarily focused on landing a rover on the Moon. It was planned to use the experience and data gathered from Chandrayaan-2 to improve the success of the lander and rover components. The mission aimed to conduct further research and exploration of the Moon’s surface, including studying the lunar regolith and geology.
Will India show us the Moon in a completely new way? In August 2023, the Chandrayaan-3 mission has landed and scientists are expecting completely new findings.
What exactly will the rover Pragyan and lander Vikram study on the Moon? And why did India land its rovers at the lunar south pole of all places?

https://atozwiki.com/Airman | 2023-09-29T16:51:56 | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510520.98/warc/CC-MAIN-20230929154432-20230929184432-00222.warc.gz | 0.964737 | 1,159 | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | webtext-fineweb__CC-MAIN-2023-40__0__160097622 | en | This article needs additional citations for verification. (May 2018)
An airman is a member of an air force or air arm of a nation's armed forces. In certain air forces, it can also refer to a specific enlisted rank. An airman can also be referred as a soldier in other definitions.
In civilian aviation usage, the term airman is analogous to the term sailor in nautical usage. In the American Federal Aviation Administration usage, an airman is any holder of an airman's certificate, male or female. This certificate is issued to those who qualify for it by the Federal Aviation Administration Airmen Certification Branch.
In the U.S. Air Force, airman is a general term which can refer to any member of the United States Air Force, regardless of rank, but is also a specific enlisted rank in the Air Force. The rank of airman (abbreviated "Amn") is the second enlisted rank from the bottom, just above the rank of Airman Basic, and just below that of Airman First Class. Since the Air Force was established in 1947, all of the various ranks of "airman" have always included women, and in this context, the word "man" means "human being". Former U.S. Air Force ranks included Airman Second Class and Airman Third Class.[Note 1] The current E-2 paygrade rank of Airman was called Airman Third Class from 1952 to 1967.
A person with the rank of Airman Basic is typically promoted to the rank of Airman after six months of active duty service in the Air Force, if that member had signed up for an enlistment period of at least four years of active duty. On the other hand, an enlistee could be promoted to the rank of Airman immediately after completing Air Force basic training (and thus paid somewhat more) given one of several additional qualifications:
- Having completed at least two years of a Junior Reserve Officers' Training Corps (Junior ROTC) while in high school.
- Having achieved the Eagle Scout level from the Boy Scouts of America, or the Gold Award from the Girl Scouts of the United States of America.
- Having earned 20 college semester credit hours (30 quarter hours).
Those enlistees who have qualified for these early promotions to the rank of Airman are allowed to wear their single airman insignia stripe during the Air Force basic training graduation ceremony at Lackland Air Force Base in San Antonio, Texas. They also receive a retroactive pay increment that brings them up to the pay grade for an Airman upon their completion of basic training. (Thus, it is as if they have enlisted as Airmen on the first day, as far as their pay is concerned. However, if they do not complete basic training and are discharged, they do not receive the extra pay.)
While at the rank of Airman, the duties of enlisted personnel include adjusting to the Air Force way of military life and becoming proficient in their Air Force duty specialties. Note that upon leaving basic training, all Airmen enter a period of many weeks or many months of training at Air Force schools in their duty specialties that they and the Air Force have selected for them depending on their aptitudes and interests, and the needs of the Air Force. For Airmen with high aptitudes, some of these training programs include more than one school and take a year or more to complete.
Airmen are often nicknamed “mosquito wings" due to the insignia's resemblance to a mosquito's small wings.
In the U.S. Coast Guard, the ranks are very similar or identical to the ones in the U.S. Navy, and a Coast Guard airman is identical in rank and pay to an Airman in the Navy. Coast Guard Airman is the enlisted rank that corresponds to the pay grade of E-3 in the Coast Guard's aviation field, and includes both men and women. Airman is just above the Coast Guard rank of airman apprentice, Seaman Apprentice, fireman apprentice which is the E-2 pay grade, but it is just below the rank of Petty Officer Third Class, E-4 pay grade.
The rank is used by the National Bolivarian Armed Forces of Venezuela.
- In 1967, there was significant reorganization of the enlisted ranks, and the former rank of "Airman First Class" became an "Air Force Sergeant"; the former "Airman" became the new "Airman First Class"; the former "Airman Second Class" became an "Airman"; and the former "Airman Third Class" became an "Airman Basic". All of the pay and fringe benefit grades remained as they were, just associated with new and less cumbersome rank names.
- The following Navy rates (actual job names and functions) fall within the category of "Airman" and are all at the E-3 pay grade:
- AB: aviation boatswain's mate
- ABH: aviation handler
- ABE: aviation equipment
- ABF: aviation fuel
- AC: air traffic controlman
- AD: aviation machinist's mate
- AE: aviation electrician's mate
- AG: aviation aerographer's mate
- AM: aviation structural mechanic
- AME: aviation structural mechanic (egress)
- AO: aviation ordnanceman
- AS: aviation support equipment technician
- AT: aviation electronics technician

Another NAF aircraft on Tuesday crashed in Kaduna killing the two crew members on board.
The aircraft type is said to be (Super Mushak).
The trainer aircraft was said to have crashed while on a routine training session at the 401 flying training school , Nigerian Air Force Base, Kaduna.
Military Sources said that there was no survival as the two pilots on board the training aircraft died in the tragic air mishap.
Effort to get details of the unfortunate incident as at press time yielded no result as the Director of Public and Information, Nigerian Air Force (NAF), Air Commodore Edward Gabkwet said that he was in a meeting.
This is the fifth aircraft that crashed since the incumbent Chief of Air Staff (CAS), Air Marshal Oladayo Amao assumed office in that capacity.
This tragic development comes 11 months after a NAF aircraft crashed in Kaduna killing the Chief of Army Staff (COAS), Lt Gen Ibrahim Attahiru, alongside ten other very senior military officers.
The incident, which occurred in May 2021, involved a Beechcraft 350, and the aircraft crashed around the Kaduna international airport.
Late Gen. Attahiru was said to be on his way to Kaduna to attend a passing-out parade for army recruits.
Also, the persistent denial that the terrorists group did not shot down the NAF missing fighter jet in Borno State with two officers on board was demystified by the overrunning of Sambisa forest which, led to the troops of Operation Hadin Kai discovering the site of the crashed aircraft with the wreckage scattered at the heart of the evil forest.
Following the incident, members of the minority caucus in the house of representatives had asked the federal government to ensure that a “system-wide investigation” is conducted into such incidents involving military aircraft in the country. | aerospace | 1 |

Project.
ACCOMMODATION: Pilot only
POWER PLANT: Two Pabst-Lorin ramjet engines, rated at 1.500 kp thrust each and one Walter HWK 109-509A liquid-fueled rocket engine, rated at 3.000 kp thrust
PERFORMANCE: 683 mph
COMMENT: In March, 1944, the team of Focke-Wulf worked on a design of a ramjet-powered fighter. The wings were mounted low on the fuselage and were swept back at 45 degrees. It had along, pointed nose and the cockpit was set back into the large vertical fin. The aircraft sat very low on a retractable nose wheel undercarriage and main wheels with extreme short track. The ramjets were located on the tips of the sharply swept tail planes. For take-off a Walter HWK rocket engine, located in the back fuselage was needed as well as to reach speed high enough to operate the ramjets. Ceiling of 36.000 ft should be reached within less than five minutes. Neither detailed design drawings nor models for wind tunnel testing are readied when the defeat of Germany stopped any further studies (Ref.: 16, 18). | aerospace | 1 |

Tests have been made in the atmospheric wind tunnel of the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics to determine the effects of pitching oscillations upon the lift of an airfoil. It has been found that the lift of an airfoil, while pitching, is usually less than that which would exist at the same angle of attack in the stationary condition, although exceptions may occur when the lift is small or if the angle of attack is being rapidly reduced. It is also shown that the behavior of a pitching airfoil may be qualitatively explained on the basis of accepted aerodynamic theory.

A Rocket Lab Electron booster is scheduled to lift off from the company's New Zealand launch site Saturday, during a two-hour window that opens at 12:30 a.m. EDT (0430 GMT; 4:30 p.m. local New Zealand time).
You can follow the liftoff live here at Space.com, courtesy of Rocket Lab, or directly via the company. Coverage will start 20 minutes before launch.

Saturday morning's launch, which was procured via Seattle-based company Spaceflight, will be the third Electron liftoff of the year and the seventh overall.
Rocket Lab gives all of its missions a light-hearted name, and this one is called "Make It Rain" — a reference to Spaceflight's famously damp home city. (New Zealand is pretty wet as well.)
Among the satellites going up Saturday are two Prometheus craft, which will be operated by the United States Special Operations Command, and the ACRUX-1 cubesat from the Melbourne Space Program, an educational organization that aims to give Australian students hands-on experience with space projects.
The total payload mass on the launch is 176 lbs. (80 kilograms), Rocket Lab representatives said. The two-stage, 57-foot-tall (17 meters) Electron is capable of lofting about 500 lbs. (227 kg) to orbit on each $5 million liftoff.
Saturday's launch was originally scheduled for Thursday morning (June 27), but Rocket Lab pushed things back a day twice, to perform additional checks on ground equipment.

Israeli sources confirmed that Israeli weapons system may be added to the package for the MC-27J aircraft equipped with a 30 mm gun.
The planned gunship variant of the C-27J will undertake the first test firings of its 30mm cannon while slaved to an electro-optical/infrared sensor at the end of this year or early 2014.
MC-27J is a new multi mission transport aircraft jointly produced and marketed by Alenia Aermacchi and ATK. It is a roll on/roll off (RO/RO) aircraft based on the C-27J Spartan.
i-HLS Israel Homeland Security
The MC-27J is designed to support air forces and Special Forces involved in the tactical transport, intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR) missions, anti-terrorism operations, the evacuation of military and civilians from crisis zones and the fight against asymmetric threats.
MC-27J is based on the combat proven airframe of the C-27J. The base platform is slightly modified, while the airlift capabilities of C-27J are retained. The new aircraft is incorporated with pallet-based systems for additional mission-specific capabilities.
The aircraft has a length of 22.7m, wing span of 28.7m and a height of 9.6m. The maximum take-off weight of the MC-27J is 30,500kg.
ATK and Elbit Systems Ltd. had recently received a contract award through the Defense Acquisition Challenge (DAC) Program to provide a low-cost, light-weight, precision guided missile for the U.S. Special Operations Command (USSOCOM) evaluation
This missile incorporates lock-on before and after launch and employs a penetrating warhead with sufficient kinetic energy to defeat hardened targets. The project directly supports a USSOCOM requirement that the companies are ready to meet with their Guided Advanced Tactical Rocket (GATR) and Precision Guided Rocket Launcher (PGRL).
The Israeli sources point to a possibility that the cooperation between Elbit systems and ATK may .result in adding Israel made weapons systems on the MC-27J. | aerospace | 1 |

From supporting Apollo moon missions to coordinating the design of the Rosetta spacecraft, Australia has made giant leaps for mankind in advancing our understanding of space. But when it comes to market share, Australia’s contribution sits stagnant at a mere one percent of a $400 billion industry.
In this talk, Warwick Holmes will discuss how Australia plans to leverage its expertise to improve its bottom line through the founding of the Australian Space Agency, and by developing the nation’s first generation of space engineers. He will also explore how the emergence of rival space programs, including private space exploration companies such as Elon Musk’s SpaceX, may impact this vision.
Warwick Holmes considers the 1969 moon landing as a pivotal moment in his life. It was then, as a seven-year-old glued to the television, he watched history unfold and his passion for space launched. He went on to study engineering at university before moving to the UK to work for the British Aerospace Company. This was the start of his 30-year career in the European space industry, including contributing to the Rosetta mission.
Returning to Sydney in 2017, Warwick is the executive director of Space Engineering where he hopes to share his passion for all things outer space with the next generation of space engineers. | aerospace | 1 |

U.S. warships have proudly hosted vintage aircraft to mark important milestones in military history.
From a distance, the U.S. Navy’s Wasp-class amphibious assault ship USS Essex might have been mistaken for a World War II aircraft carrier as it sailed into Hawaii this week with vintage aircraft on its flight deck. Rather than carrying its F-35 stealth fighters, USS Essex carried a P-51 Mustang and notably a B-25 Mitchell bomber, the same type of aircraft used in the April 1942 Doolittle Raid over Tokyo.
The Navy isn’t going retro in its choice of aircraft of course but was delivering the World War II warbirds to Hawaii, where they’ll be used in events commemorating the seventy-fifth anniversary of the end of World War II. The airplanes will reportedly participate in three aerial parades, which are scheduled to take place on August 29, August 30 and September 2.
In addition to the B-25 and P-51, several other privately-owned aircraft hitched a ride on the amphibious assault ship including two Catalina flying boats, an F8F Bearcat fighter, an FM-2 Wildcat fighter, two Texan trainers and a Boeing-Stearman PT-17 biplane. All the aircraft were load by personnel at Naval Air Station North Island in San Diego at the end of last month using a crane.
It is worth noting that the U.S. Army Air Corps’ B-25s used in the Doolittle Raid were also loaded onto the USS Wasp (CVN-8) as the bombers were of course incapable of landing on a carrier deck. During World War II smaller Navy carriers were also used to deliver combat aircraft from the United States to destinations that were outside the range of the aircraft—and this primarily included distant islands in the Pacific theater.
U.S. warships have proudly hosted vintage aircraft to mark these important milestones in military history. In 1995, the Nimitz-class aircraft carrier USS Carl Vinson was also used to deliver several World War II warbirds to Hawaii for the fiftieth anniversary of the end of World War II.
While the aircraft were off-loaded with cranes from the USS Essex, in 1992 two B-25 Mitchell—named for U.S. military aviation pioneer General William “Billy” Mitchell—took off from the Forrestal-class aircraft carrier USS Ranger to commemorate the fiftieth anniversary of the famous Doolittle Raid.
During this trip, the USS Essex also reportedly carried a new C-12U Huron utility aircraft, the militarized version of the Beechcraft King Air, for delivery to the Hawaii Army National Guard. The amphibious assault ship typically operates with vertical take-off/landing (VTOL) aircraft such as the Marine Corps version of the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter, which of the three variants can carry the most internal fuel—nearly twenty thousand pounds—allowing for longer range flights.
During the recent trip, it still carried its Marine Corps MV-22 Osprey tilt-rotors and MH-60 Sea Hawk helicopters. The warship, with other Marines on board, was also heading to Hawaii to take part in the multinational Rim of the Pacific (RIMPAC) exercises, which are scheduled to begin next week. It is the world’s largest international maritime exercise and is designed to foster and sustain cooperative relationships, critical to ensuring the safety of sea lanes and security in support of a free and open Indo-Pacific region.

"The misleading statements, half-truths, and omissions communicated by Boeing employees to the FAA impeded the government's ability to ensure the safety of the flying public," said US Attorney Erin Nealy Cox for the Northern District of Texas. "This case sends a clear message: The Department of Justice will hold manufacturers like Boeing accountable for defrauding regulators — especially in industries where the stakes are this high."
A recent Senate report claimed that FAA and Boeing manipulated 737 MAX recertification tests following two fatal crashes that led to the worldwide grounding of these jets. Investigations began in April of 2019, weeks after the second of two tragic crashes of Boeing 737 MAX aircraft. The two accidents took place within a span of five months and left 346 people killed.
The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) on Thursday said it has agreed to defer prosecution of the company, provided that Boeing abides by the obligations set forth in a three-year deferred prosecution agreement, after which time the charge will be dismissed.
The settlement includes money for the crash victims’ families, airline customers and a fine. Under the agreement, Boeing will pay a penalty of $243.6 million and provide $500 million in additional compensation to the families of those lost in the Lion Air and Ethiopian Airlines accidents. The agreement also includes a commitment to provide $1.77 billion to Boeing’s airline customers as part of the Company’s ongoing efforts to compensate those customers for financial losses resulting from the grounding of the 737 MAX, Boeing said in a statement.
Boeing had previously already set aside money to pay airlines and $100 million for victims' families. It said it will take an additional charge of $743.6 million against earnings as a result of the settlement.
The agreement is based on the conduct of two former Boeing employees and their intentional failure to inform the FAA Aircraft Evaluation Group (AEG), the group within the FAA responsible for making pilot training determinations, about changes to the Maneuvering Characteristics Augmentation System (MCAS). As a result of this conduct, the agreement states that the FAA AEG was not fully informed about MCAS’s expanded operating range when it made its training determinations for the MAX. While focusing on the conduct of these two former employees, the agreement recognizes that other Boeing employees did inform other officials and organizations within the FAA about MCAS’s expanded operating range in connection with the certification of the 737 MAX.
David L. Calhoun, Boeing President and Chief Executive Officer, said in a note to employees: “I firmly believe that entering into this resolution is the right thing for us to do—a step that appropriately acknowledges how we fell short of our values and expectations. This resolution is a serious reminder to all of us of how critical our obligation of transparency to regulators is, and the consequences that our company can face if any one of us falls short of those expectations.”
Boeing’s announcement of the agreement was accompanied by an 8-K filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission, which reflected that the Company had taken a $743.6 million charge to earnings in connection with its commitments under the agreement. | aerospace | 1 |
