The Blackhawk first underwent development in the early 1970’s and entered service in 1979. Since then, thousands have been built and used by the United States military.
The National Guard utilizes the single-rotor helicopter to complete several key missions. Its most common role is the insertion and extraction of infantry personnel to and from the battlefield. The Blackhawk serves as a fast and effective method for transport, as it can hold an entire squad of 14 infantrymen who are able to rappel, or “fast-rope,” from the helicopter if a regular landing isn’t possible.
The Blackhawk is also capable of holding six full-sized stretchers, which is why the National Guard uses the helicopter in a “med-evac” role to safely deliver casualties to proper medical facilities to be treated.
There are several ways to serve as a Blackhawk crewmember in the National Guard. First, there are the pilot and co-pilot who are in charge of operating the aircraft itself. There are also two crewchiefs for each helicopter who oversee maintenance tasks as well as operate the two side-facing machine guns during flight. Each member plays an integral part of the crew.
As a National Guard Blackhawk pilot, you will be promoted to Warrant Officer after your basic training and flight training at Fort Rucker, Alabama. You will inherit the responsibility of looking after your crew and any passengers aboard your aircraft, regardless of what operational role you are assigned. Crewing aboard a UH-60 Blackhawk is a rewarding career and even gets you ready to become a professional pilot in the civilian aviation industry. | aerospace |

What is an Orbit?
An orbit is the path an object in space follows as it moves around a larger body. Many of us are familiar with the planets in our Solar System, and how they orbit around the Sun. But the same idea applies to the Earth and the Moon. The Moon is much smaller than the Earth, but it still orbits around the Earth in an approximately circular path.
Why Does the Moon Orbit Around the Earth?
The Moon orbits around the Earth because of the gravitational pull between the two bodies. The Moon is attracted to the Earth by gravity, and the Earth is attracted to the Moon by the same force. This pull creates a centripetal force that causes the Moon to move in an elliptical path around the Earth.
How Long Does it Take?
The Moon takes 27.32 days to make one complete orbit around the Earth. This is known as the sidereal month, and it is the time it takes for the Moon to return to its original position relative to the stars. This time can vary slightly, depending on the Moon’s distance from the Earth.
Does the Moon Orbit in the Same Direction?
Yes, the Moon orbits the Earth in the same direction every time, in a counter-clockwise direction when viewed from the North Pole. This means that the Moon appears to rise in the east and set in the west, just like the Sun does.
What is the Moon’s Average Distance From the Earth?
The Moon’s average distance from the Earth is about 238,855 miles (384,400 kilometers). This distance can vary slightly, depending on the Moon’s position in its orbit. | aerospace |

Timothy Cowper, the pilot killed in the crash, held an experimental aircraft builder certificate and was the registered builder of the Pitts Special S-1E that was involved in the crash. The report confirms the plane was built by an amateur.
According to the report, around 3:55 p.m. on Sept. 29, witnesses reported the pilot turned back toward the town’s Plateau Sky Ranch Airport shortly after takeoff. The plane banked steadily before flying behind a treeline.
The report said eyewitnesses heard the engine grow louder before impact.
The plane crashed in the woods southwest of the airport, the report said.
An inspector with the Federal Aviation Administration responded to the accident site and examined the wreckage, the report said.
Federal Aviation Administration officials said fire destroyed much of the wreckage, but they were able to determine the plane’s connections between controls and the elevator and rudder.
But because of the fire damage, they could not determine if the ailerons – which allow the plane to bank – were under control, the report said.
Ralph Hicks, a investigator with the NTSB, said the wings were completely destroyed in the fire.
“There is nothing left to look at,” said Hicks. “It is not unusual for us to lose parts of the wreckage due to fire.”
Hicks said the NTSB will continue investigating the wreckage.
Hicks said an autopsy and toxicology report on Cowper is expected in the future.
The plane crashed near the northern side of the Great Sacandaga Lake, north of the Batchellerville Bridge. State Police, the Saratoga County Sheriff’s Department, the Edinburg Volunteer Fire Department and emergency medical services responded to the scene and found a badly damaged small plane and Cowper’s body in the wreckage, authorities said.
Cowper was an experienced pilot, authorities said.
Hicks said a full report is expected sometime next year.

If you’re interested in bringing The Space Shed to your event or festival and can’t find your answers here then please get in touch and one of our highly trained Flight Crew will happily help or can send you a full Tech Rider.
What power does the Space Shed require?
The Space Shed requires 2 x 16A power sources
We are currently seeking partners to work with us to reduce the power needs of the Space Shed and run it entirely on renewable energy sources – if you’d like to help with this mission please contact us
What height/width/depth is the Space Shed?
Space Shed dimensions pre-launch (closed) are
We require a 2m clearance around The Space Shed.
Our highly trained Ground Crew consisting of Flight Director, Flight Dynamics Officer (FIDO) and Flight Activities Officer look after all the Space Shed installation once on site. We travel with all equipment necessary for launch attempts and there is minimal preparation required from our launch partners.
The post-launch (fully open) dimensions of the Space Shed are
The minimum desired playing space (for both Space Shed+audience) is 10m wide and 15m deep to host up to approximately 200 people. With additional space the show is accessible to audiences up to 500.
How much time do you need to set up?
Approximately 2 hours required to park, pitch and secure The Space Shed on site. Ideally a further 2 hours to test all equipment and set up the audience seating area before first performance.
Do we need to provide any kit?
The Space Shed is fitted with all lighting, sound, video and show control equipment needed. Our Crew operates all elements. If you can get us the power we need and run it to a flat and stable area of ground with access for our Space Van… we’ll work everything else out.
What about the weather?
The Space Shed cannot open and the performance cannot happen in anything above a Force 4 wind on the Beaufort Scale. But that’s pretty windy! Our Flight Dynamics Officer carries an anemometer to measure and monitor this.
The Space Shed and its contents are water resistant, meaning that the performance can take place in light rain. In the case of heavy rain Flight Director and Flight Dynamics Officer will make a decision on whether to abort.
We tour with a Space Vehicle (in Earth terms: a medium wheel base, Ford transit van) that requires towing access to the performance site and secure parking after installation as close to the Space Shed as possible.
How much does it cost to bring the Space Shed to my event?
Well, that depends on:
• how many days you want or need us to be there
• if you want Space Shed DJs (we need to hire a bit of additional kit and book the DJs!)
• other bookings and where we have to travel from and to
The Space Shed is a gorgeously unique, fully kitted out and lovingly looked after, curated and operated project. UNSA is a not-for-profit organisation committed to inspiring the next generation of poet-scientists and space explorers. If you’d like to support us in our mission and bring some sci-art joy to your event then please get in touch and we’ll happily try and make it work for both you and us. | aerospace |

Tucked out of the way in Magna, Utah, one local company is making giant leaps for mankind by helping discover possible life on other planets and the origins of galaxies. ATK Aerospace Group is a supplier of rocket propulsion systems and spacecraft components, and the company is helping construct one of NASA’s biggest projects: the James Webb Space Telescope.
While similar to the well-known Hubble Telescope, the Webb Telescope will be capable of capturing much more detailed images. The telescope is slated for launch in 2018, at which point it will travel 1 million miles from Earth, or four times the distance to the moon. Once it is in position, the telescope will unfold and begin taking images of galaxies and solar systems, looking back to the time of the Big Bang.
By traveling so far from Earth, the telescope will be able to take much more detailed images of deep space, as it will not have the atmospheric interference that hampers the Hubble Telescope. In addition, the mirror on the Webb Telescope is five times larger than that of the Hubble Telescope, meaning even more detailed images can be taken.
“This will rewrite textbooks once it’s launched in 2018 and delivering the images that are expected,” says Bob Helleckson, James Webb Space Telescope program manager at ATK. “There are black holes, but we don’t know much about them. It is possible a telescope like this will give us so much more insight into these types of things.”
ATK’s role in the Webb Telescope project is building the 2,000-pound frame that will hold the telescope’s 18 sections of primary mirror in place. This includes two support wings that will fold up to fit into the spacecraft.
Using advanced graphite composite materials, similar to carbon fiber, ATK is building a frame that will hold tolerances of nanometers, even as temperatures in space drop to -400 degrees Fahrenheit. Withstanding these temperatures while maintaining such tolerances would be impossible with any type of known metal or alloy.
Several other companies from around the world are also building portions of the telescope.
“You really have a worldwide collection of state-of-the-art companies and scientists supporting this project,” says Helleckson. “It will look back to the Big Bang and take it one step beyond Hubble to the beginning of time. It will help us discover things we haven’t even thought about.”
One of the major improvements over the Hubble Telescope is its ability to capture infrared light. When viewing images from Hubble, it can be impossible to see what is happening inside nebulas, as the images are often filled with clouds of dust. While these create beautiful pictures, much of the science is hidden. Also, where stars are easy to see from light years away, the infrared images that will be delivered by the Webb Telescope will also help in viewing “cool images,” like planets and comets that do not radiate light.
ATK isn’t the only Utah connection to the James Webb Space Telescope. The primary mirrors that gather light for the telescope are made with beryllium mined in Delta, Utah. Because of the extreme temperatures found in deep space, beryllium is used because it resists warping and deforming much better than glass.
ATK’s construction of the frame will be finished in 2014, after which it will be sent to NASA for assembly and final testing before being launched in 2018 out of Guiana Space Centre in French Guiana.

On 6/20, space program insider Corey Goode was brought to Mars for a tour of a colony that is not supposed to exist. Fascinating new intel has come to light as a result of this trip -- and it is a very entertaining read!
A REMARKABLE WINDOW INTO AN ALTERNATE REALITY
Some people wonder if we are "alone in the universe."
Others are open-minded about paranormal phenomena, believe that ETs do exist and are visiting us, and wonder where "they" come from.
You may take it for granted that the Roswell crash did occur, that the US government reverse-engineered the technology and developed space travel.
Roswell was seventy years ago.
Do you think maybe, just maybe the military-industrial complex would have gone out into space, taken a look around and built some colonies since then?
IF THE "GOVERNMENT" BUILT OFF-PLANET COLONIES, WHAT MIGHT THEY DO IN THESE INACCESSIBLE LOCATIONS? | aerospace |

Despite this I didn't do a lot of research before visiting so I didn't really know what to expect. After all I didn't want to be disappointed after I had built it up in my head. Disappointed was the last thing I felt by the time we were leaving at 5pm.
For some reason I wasn't expecting to see the genuine shuttles that had gone into space and it was honestly breathtaking. In the same building there was plenty of artifacts, displays and interactive games which kept us interested for along time. Annoyingly Scott was much better at the simulators (similar to those used for training) than I was so I won't be getting a job anytime soon.
I learnt so much from this exhibition alone I could have gone home but we had so much else to see.
I wasn't expecting to get to go to the actual, working NASA site itself so you can imagine my excitement when I found out that a bus tour was also included in our standard admission ticket. They departed regularly so as it was started to rain we joined the short queue.
We took a NASA bus for a drive-by view of a launch pad and then the historic Apollo 8 launch site. To see where the assembled the rockets, how they transport them to the site and see the launch site was fascinating. Even though I couldn't take in every detail of what our guide was saying.
As if this wasn't enough there was a second area - the Apollo/Saturn V Center - where we could learn even more.
Once inside we watched a film all about the Apollo program and America's mission to get people into space and then go to the moon. Afterwards you entered a huge space which contains the Saturn V rocket. At a giant 363-foot the rocket took 27 astronauts to the moon and back again.
The second film we watched inside was all about landing on the moon. While I thought I knew what happened I didn't realise how close it was to going wrong and how much the astronauts had to do alone when they lost contact with Earth. The 3D elements of the show really added to the wonder.
Scott and I easily spent the whole day here looking round the exhibitions. We also visited the Journey To Mars exhibition and the Rocket Garden. Sadly we missed out on the two films at the IMAX Theater but after getting back from the Saturn center we decided that we couldn't sit through two 45 minute films or take in more information.
It was by far the most interesting and educational day out of the whole holiday. Everything is presented in such an engaging way and the graphics in some of the shows are amazing. I'd never actually go to space but visiting the Kennedy Space Center was the next best thing.
Basically all I'm trying to say is if you're going to Florida on holiday you have to visit the Kennedy Space Center too!

https://e-guides.org/do-you-know-the-best-drones-for-gopro-max-in-2022/ | 2023-06-08T22:18:52 | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-23/segments/1685224655143.72/warc/CC-MAIN-20230608204017-20230608234017-00095.warc.gz | 0.948078 | 1,112 | CC-MAIN-2023-23 | webtext-fineweb__CC-MAIN-2023-23__0__70831145 | en | When it comes to capturing stunning aerial footage, there is no better tool than a drone. And if you own a GoPro Max, you have access to some of the best 360-degree footage that the market has to offer. However, not all drones are created equal, and some are better suited to work with the GoPro Max than others. In this article, we'll go over the best drones for GoPro Max in 2022.
One of the most important things to consider when looking for a drone that is compatible with the GoPro Max is the mounting options. Some drones come with a built-in camera, while others require you to mount your own camera. Make sure that the drone you choose has a mount that can accommodate the GoPro Max. This will ensure that you can capture the best footage possible.
Another essential factor to consider when choosing a drone for your GoPro Max is stability. A drone with a stable flight pattern is essential for capturing the best footage possible. Stability ensures that your footage is smooth and not shaky, especially when you are capturing 360-degree footage. Look for a drone with a stable flight pattern and a gimbal that can keep the camera level.
Flight time is another important consideration when choosing a drone for your GoPro Max. The longer the drone's flight time, the more footage you can capture. Look for a drone that has a flight time of at least 20 minutes, so you have enough time to capture all the footage you need.
The control range of a drone is how far away it can be controlled. If you are planning on capturing footage over a large area, look for a drone with a long control range. Keep in mind that the FAA requires drones to be flown within line of sight, so make sure you are following all regulations.
Now that you know what to look for in a drone for GoPro Max, let's take a look at some of the best options on the market.
The DJI Mavic Air 2 is one of the best drones on the market, and it happens to be compatible with the GoPro Max. This drone has a 48-megapixel camera that can capture stunning 360-degree footage. It also has a 34-minute flight time and a control range of up to 6.2 miles. The DJI Mavic Air 2 is a great option for anyone looking to capture high-quality footage with their GoPro Max.
The Autel Robotics EVO II is another excellent drone that is compatible with the GoPro Max. This drone has a 48-megapixel camera and a 40-minute flight time, making it ideal for capturing high-quality footage. It also has a control range of up to 5.5 miles and can fly up to 45 mph. The Autel Robotics EVO II is a great choice for anyone looking for a drone that can capture stunning footage from a distance.
The Skydio 2 is a unique drone that is capable of capturing stunning footage with its 360-degree camera. This drone has a 23-minute flight time and a control range of up to 3.5 miles. It also has a unique feature called Skydio Beacon, which allows you to control the drone with a handheld remote, making it easy to capture footage from different angles. The Skydio 2 is a great option for anyone looking for a drone that can capture unique footage with their GoPro Max.
The DJI Phantom 4 Pro is a reliable drone that is compatible with the GoPro Max. This drone has a 20-megapixel camera that can capture stunning footage, and it has a 28-minute flight time. It also has a control range of up to 4.3 miles and can fly up to 45 mph. The DJI Phantom 4 Pro is a great option for anyone looking for a reliable drone that can capture high-quality footage.
In addition to the above options, there are other drones available that are compatible with the GoPro Max. However, these four drones are among the best on the market and should give you a good starting point when looking for a drone for your GoPro Max.
When it comes to choosing the best drone for your GoPro Max, there are a few other things to keep in mind. First, make sure that you are following all FAA regulations when flying your drone. This includes flying your drone within line of sight and not flying over people or other aircraft.
Second, consider the quality of the footage that you want to capture. While all of the drones listed above can capture high-quality footage, some may be better suited for certain types of shots. For example, the DJI Mavic Air 2 is great for capturing footage over a large area, while the Skydio 2 is better suited for capturing unique angles.
Finally, consider your budget when choosing a drone for your GoPro Max. While the options listed above are all great, they may not be within everyone's budget. Make sure that you choose a drone that fits your needs and your budget.
In conclusion, choosing the best drone for your GoPro Max can be a daunting task, but it doesn't have to be. By considering the mounting options, stability, flight time, and control range, you can find a drone that is perfect for capturing stunning footage.

Japan, the United Kingdom, and Italy intend to work together on a next-generation fighter plane by the year 2035.
Even though the US isn’t involved with the fighter jet project, it has tried to strengthen defense collaboration with Japan, particularly in autonomous systems capabilities, and is Japan’s most important security partner.
“Revolutionize airborne combat by merging state-of-the-art artificial intelligence and machine learning with advanced unmanned air vehicles,” the United States Air Force stated in a news release published last month upon the signing of the agreement, describing the goal of the collaborative AI study.
“The AI developed in this joint research is expected to be applied to UAVs operated alongside Japan’s next fighter aircraft,” it added, stressing that the partnership will serve to preserve the “technological advantages” of the Japan-U.S. alliance.
Drones can fly in close proximity to combat jets to gather data. Deciding to back Japan’s defense cooperation with the two NATO members, the United States announced its support in December 2022.
The Asian nation is facing a tough security environment, especially with China becoming more assertive. As a result, the three countries concluded a fighter aircraft development contract.
Tokyo had planned to team up with American defense companies to build new fighters, but the United States has stringent regulations on the secrecy of sensitive information, so the Japanese government opted to seek out other partners.
While Italy and Britain are planning to replace their Eurofighter jets, Japan is aiming to construct a plane to replace its F-2s. Japan has never before entered into a cooperative agreement with a nation other than the US to build defense equipment as it does with the fighter aircraft program.

NASA stated Friday that it misplaced contact with Voyager 2 on July 21 after “”a collection of planned instructions”” inadvertently triggered the craft to turn its antenna 2 degrees away from the direction of its home planet. While the NASA team managed to revive communications with the beloved spacecraft, it won’t be the last scare. The Voyagers have aged properly previous their prime, and their dwindling power means that their scientific instruments could be run for only some more years.
Lost Voyager, which has been journeying deeper into interstellar space, the region beyond the Solar System, has been out of contact for over a week because of an inadvertent command that triggered its antenna to tilt away from Earth. Voyager 2 and its twin Voyager 1 are the only spacecraft ever to operate outside the heliosphere, the protecting bubble of particles and magnetic fields generated by the Sun. Staff used the “”highest-power transmitter”” to ship a message to the spacecraft and timed it to be despatched throughout “”the best situations”” so the antenna lined up with the command, Voyager project supervisor Suzanne Dodd informed AFP. After an erroneous command despatched the spacecraft’s antenna askew, mission specialists hatched a plan to level it again towards Earth.
In 2020, scientists managing the Deep Space Network shut down the only radio dish able to talking to Voyager 2 for repairs and upgrades. Voyager 2 entered interstellar house in November 2018 — more than forty years because it launched from Cape Canaveral, Fla. To this present day, Voyager 2 stays considered one of solely two human-made objects to ever operate outdoors the heliosphere, which NASA defines as “”the protective bubble of particles and magnetic fields generated by the Sun.”” This reset is designed to realign the antenna in path of Earth, doubtlessly restoring communication. However, this implies several months of silence from Voyager 2, during which period the spacecraft will continue its trajectory by way of the cosmos, unguided and unmonitored.
Voyager 2 additionally has the excellence of being the one spacecraft to have explored Uranus and Neptune. A NASA page documenting their travels says the Voyager probes stay the one human-made objects to ever enter the area between the stars. According to a report, the Canberra antenna, which is part of NASA’s DSN, will send the right sign to Voyager 2 hoping that it hits its mark.
Had it not established contact, the mission team would have needed to wait till Oct. 15, when Voyager 2 is programmed to do an computerized reset of the direction of its antenna. “”A bit like hearing the spacecraft’s ‘heartbeat,’ it confirms the spacecraft is still broadcasting, which engineers anticipated,”” JPL said in a post on X, formerly Twitter. The detection additionally confirms that Voyager 2 continues to be on its deliberate trajectory, which is what NASA scientists had hoped and anticipated after they announced contact had been misplaced on July 21. The sign from Voyager 2, which is now more than 12bn miles from Earth, was detected throughout a routine scan of the sky, Nasa stated, and confirms that the spacecraft is still broadcasting and in “good health”. Otherwise, NASA will have to wait until October for an computerized spacecraft reset that ought to restore communication, based on officials.
Owing to this error, the spacecraft is unable to obtain commands or transmit knowledge back to Earth. Contact with the spacecraft was misplaced more than a week ago, and all communication with Voyager 2 goes through NASA’s Deep Space Station forty three, a 70-metre radio dish on the Canberra Deep Space Communication Complex. Travelling at a velocity of fifty five,345 kilometers per hour, the spacecraft’s mission was lately prolonged until 2026, in a bid to keep the science devices turned on for a couple of extra years. The spacecraft’s energy provide has been diminishing after being in space for over forty five years because it continues to travel deep into interstellar space. | aerospace |

This is particularly the case for small but essential (spare) parts.
Based the existing know-how within the International Space University (ISU) based in Strasbourg, France, research with a strong commercial potential has been agreed Manx Precision Optics Ltd. (MPO) and the International Space University (ISU).
This pilot project with a high potential will allow validation the concept of producing essential components on the spot. If successful, it could generate the growth of a new commercial sector as well as experience in producing parts on traffic and weather dependent places.
ISU and the Isle of Man have a long-standing relationship, which is also expressed in the International Institute of Space Commerce (IISC), based in Douglas and strongly supported by the local government in view of promoting space activities on the Island.
As stated by Dr. Kessler, CEO of MPO and an Alumni of ISU
“The calibre and motivation of ISU students and academic staff is second to none and pooling our resources to work on this exciting project is a fantastic opportunity to push forward the current boundaries of technology.”
Prof. Peeters, president ISU and Director of IISC added:
“We are delighted to work together with an ISU alumnus and strong IISC supporter. On board of the International Space Station, 3-D printing has already shown its enormous potential in fabricating spare parts or other essential items, cutting down transport costs and delays.”
After concept validation, the market potential of the specific application will be further jointly examined and developed.

August 27, 2007: Security company Blackwater U.S.A. is buying Super Tucano light combat aircraft from the Brazilian manufacturer Embraer. These five ton, single engine, single seat aircraft are built for pilot training, but also perform quite well for counter-insurgency work.That should really help the incidence of friendly fire accidents in Iraq...
The Super Tucano is basically a prop driven trainer that is equipped for combat missions. The aircraft can carry up to 1.5 tons of weapons, including 12.7mm machine-guns, bombs and missiles. The aircraft cruises at about 500 kilometers an hour and can stay in the air for about 6.5 hours per sortie. One of the options is a FLIR (infrared radar that produces a photo realistic video image in any weather) and a fire control system for bombing.
Colombia is using the Super Tucanos for counter-insurgency work (there are over 20,000 armed rebels and drug gang gunmen in the country). The aircraft is also used for border patrol. The U.S. Air Force is watching that quite closely. The Super Tucano costs $9 million each, and come in one or two seat versions. The bubble canopy provides excellent visibility. This, coupled with its slow speed (versus jets), makes it an excellent ground attack aircraft.
So who, exactly, is in charge of oversight on these well-armed mercenaries? (Sound of wind whistling.) | aerospace |

This move brings our country closer to accomplishing something that no other country has done before – landing a rover near the south pole of the Moon. The duration of the manoeuvre was 1228 seconds. The orbit achieved is 118 km x 4412 km. ISRO Chairman K Sivan shared first-hand account of this crucial step and said ‘For 30 minutes our heart stopped’! Now, after performing four sets of orbit manoeuvres, Chandrayaan-2 will be primed for its ultimate function, landing the six-wheeled rover, called ‘Pragyaan’, on the Moon. Pragyaan is travelling on board a lander named Vikram which will land on the Moon on September 7.
Major movements for the next few days
• September 1 – By the night of September 1, Chandrayaan-2 will be closest to the Moon
• September 2 – Lander will be separated from orbiter
• September 3 – A three second manoeuvre to ensure systems are normal
• September 4 – A manoeuvre for 6.5 seconds when lander will be out in an orbit of 35 km
• September 7 – D-day as early morning powered descent starts and at 1.55 am it will land at a site
What exactly will happen on September 7?
• 1:55 am: After 15 minutes of a powered descent, Vikram will land on the Moon near the lunar south pole
• 3:55 am: Around two hours after landing, Vikram’s ramp will open, allowing the six-wheeled rover Pragyaan to come out
• 5:05 am: Pragyaan will deploy its solar panels, which will use solar energy to power the many systems on board the rover
• 5:10 am: Pragyaan will begin moving around which is equivalent to two weeks on Earth
• First clear picture will be available about five and half hours after descent

Due to the different environments it must survive, the design of Bracket/housing/secondary structure can be a complicated task. SOLIENG engineers have long experience in the design of brackets/ housing/secondary structures to meet the specification mass, stiffness and environmental requirements.
Alignment is one of those obvious design concepts that can be very critical for some products such as dish pointing devices, spacecraft antenna, … etc. The design of equipment supporting alignment critical components is a challenging task. Our team has the technical knowledge and capability to design equipment for alignment considerations giving the component the flexibility to be adjusted properly at the integration level to meet the alignment requirements
Handling/Transportation equipment for subsystems and fully integrated systems are very important. Handling/Transportation equipment for subsystems must be designed in a fashion that allows flexibility in the integration process while maintain the strength to withstand all the loads with sufficient margins. Handling/Transportation equipment for fully integrated system(s) are very crucial and must provide safe handling and/or transportation. We accommodate all the design needs using our design process which collects input from all parties involved in the subsystem/system including operations, repair/maintenance, and integration & testing
Test fixture design is one of the most challenging problems especially for fixtures of dynamic testing. Poor fixture design may result in exceeding the test equipment capability which will force the use of higher capability test equipment and in turn will drive the testing cost higher. Additionally, if the fixture dynamic behavior couples with the test article’s dynamic behavior, the test may be unsafe for the test article. Our methodology for test fixture design involves input from all parties involved including component design, mounting features, test equipment capability, integration of the test article with the fixture, integration of the test article/fixture assembly with the test equipment, and test levels. The primary goal is a safe test that meets all the requirements. | aerospace |

The world’s biggest gumball machine was nestled cheek by jowl with the Montgolfier balloon. The Merope II was floating nearby. The A&W root bear balloon inflated for a while as the Charlie Brown crew waited for some open space. And Mr. Peanut looked over it all.
It wasn’t the 70s though.
It was the culmination of an evening celebrating the early aeronauts behind hot air ballooning — in Indianola and across the world.
The evening started with a dinner for about 80 people at Simpson College. It was a night for stories — like that of Don Lamb, who said he crewed for some of the early pilots when they came to Indianola in 1970 and by 1974, bought his own balloon.
“I was hooked on hot air,” he recalled. “Indianola and Simpson have become a major part of our lives because of what they’ve done. They housed us, they fed us, they supported us. It was great.”
The National Balloon Championship was first held in Indianola in 1970, when about 16 hot air balloons set up Simpson’s intramural field in an elimination round before the finals at the Iowa State Fair.
Saturday, Simpson President Marsha Kelliher presented an award to Gary Ruble, thanking him for his effort to bring, and keep, balloons in Indianola. Ruble trained a number of local pilots after receiving his own pilot’s license.
“Because of him, there will be several pilots flying for the skies tonight,” she said. “Thank you for all you have done for so many and showing us that we don’t need wings to fly.”
And the Balloon Federation of America presented Stephen Langjahr of California, an early balloonmeister at the National Balloon Championship, with the Ed Yost Master Pilot Award.
But mostly, it was a nice to reminisce.
Langjahr recalled that while he never took a class at Simpson Colllege, he did bunk there during the early years of the Championship.
“I really appreciate the dormitory experience that I had, that I never had at other colleges,” he said of the then-unairconditioned dorms where pilots and their families were offered lodging. “I say that they still offer dormitories at a cut-rate price here if you're willing to go without air conditioning.
“Those were fun, fun, periods at Simpson College.”
The pilots and their families reminded each other of the letters that balloon pilots would carry aloft, and then sign, indicating that the letter or postcard had gone up in a balloon. There was the entry form for the Championship filled out by Wilma Piccard, the only woman in the early group of balloons. In the space where it said “time in balloon,” she had written a question mark. On the space next to total time in balloon, she left it blank.
“That’s the way it was then,” recalled Langjahr. “Who really had time in balloons?”
Hot air ballooning had only started to become popular in the late 1960s. When 16 balloons stretched out on the Simpson College field it seemed like a lot because it was — “it was almost all the balloons that were in the country,” said Langjahr.
It was a time for experimenting — learning what made the balloon work better, what kinds of contests to fly and even to try different kinds of balloons. One year, said Langjahr, the Championship spent $400 for helium.
“So that Wilma Piccard could fly up in a garbage bag of a balloon,” he recalled. “She had never been in a gas balloon. She asked Don Piccard (her husband) how she was supposed to fly it and he told her to pretend it was a hot air balloon.
“She flew it for about 20 minutes, which was a record,” he said. “Because there was no record before then. I remember being so awestruck at her courage to get into this thing and fly off.”
Steve Kersten of Fort Dodge talked about his father, Don, who bought the first hot air balloon in Iowa after his wife told him he had to stop parachuting. He named the balloon after her to overcome any potential objections.
It was a time to remember people who were not at the reunion — including Wilma Piccard, who is more than 90, and Matt Wiederkehr, who was one of the first 10 balloon pilots in the country. Wiederkehr passed away in 2019, but his wife, Bobbie, and daughter Donna, came to Indianola.
“It’s just a great time to see old friends,” said Donna. “To honor him, I’m wearing his jumpsuit and flying his balloon. Indianola has been such a big part of our life and our family and our heart. How could we not be here?”
The reunion ended Sunday with the induction of five new members into the U.S. Ballooning Hall of Fame, which is housed at the National Balloon Museum in Indianola.
The 2020 inductees included Coy Foster of Dallas, Texas, who set more than 60 world records in hot air, gas balloons and airship, including five records in a single flight. He developed his medical skills working with NASA during the Gemini and Apollo space programs.
The other 2020 inductee is Mark Sullivan of Albuquerque, New Mexico, who has been the US delegate to the FAI Balloon Commission for 18 years. in 1986, he started Top Gun, the largest hot air balloon competition club in the United States to teach pilots to compete so they could participate in the U.S. Nationals and other top tier events.
The 2021 inductees include Julian Nott of Santa Barbara, Calif., who has broken 79 World balloon records and 96 British records across many classes, from hot air to helium super pressure and more. But Nott said that setting records was never the main goal.
“Setting a world record is indisputable proof of the success of a new design,” he said.
Nott died in 2019 after suffering multiple injuries from an accident after a successful flight and landing of an experimental balloon in Warner Springs, Calif.
Bert Padelt of Barto, Penn., also was inducted. Padelt is a balloon builder who has helped build a number of balloons that have set records, including the second balloon to fly across the United States and the Pacific Ocean and the third gas balloon to fly across the Atlantic Ocean. He served as systems director for Steve Fossett’s attempts to fly around the world and built the gas balloon that led the 80th anniversary Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade.
The final inductee is Rich Jaworski, who pioneered hot air ballooning in Nebraska. Jaworski has accrued more than 2,800 of flight time since getting his license in 1972. He has carried more than 7,000 passengers and piloted more than 40 consecutive successful marriage proposal flights. He also has generated more than $300,000 for a variety of charitable organizations. | aerospace |

It all began (post 1949) with the state airline CAAC, which dispersed in 1987 into a number of regional airlines, all also state-owned. Some of those airlines have now gone public - China Eastern and China Southern are listed in Hong Kong, as is Hainan Airlines. Other airlines, including Shanghai Airlines and Air China, are waiting for the opportunity to list, while other smaller airlines are likely to get forced into shotgun mergers with the main airlines. All the Chinese airlines, still majority-owned by the state, went on aircraft buying sprees in the 1990s, and the result has been temporary over-capacity leading to discounting and price wars. But these airlines are the gatekeepers to one of the world's last remaining frontier markets, and the global aviation industry remains in China's thrall.
The opportunities are vast, given expected economic growth of seven to eight percent per year for several years to come, and an even faster rate of growth for the Chinese airline industry. This provides opportunities not only for Airbus and Boeing, but also for smaller manufacturers. Canada's Bombardier Aerospace Group, for instance, already supplies 50-seater CRJ200 aircraft to a number of Chinese carriers, including China United and Shanghai Airlines. To support further growth, Airbus has invested 80 million US dollars in a customer services training and support center in Beijing. The center contains two flight simulators with plans for a third, and is capable of providing 10,000 hours of training annually for engineers and flight crew. Airbus also has parts production deals with Xi'an Aircraft Company, Shenyang Aircraft Corp, Guizhou Aviation Industrial Group and Chengdu Aerospace Company. Last year, Airbus also announced its plans over the next decade to shift all its production and assembly of A320 wings into China. The Brazilian company Embracer, the world's fourth largest aircraft manufacturer, is also in the process of constructing an aircraft assembly plant in China. | aerospace |

By halftime of the exercise, over 200 flights have been carried out, with NATO member states pilots having spent over 320 hours airborne. „It is obvious the host country must make every effort to the benefit of the exercise,“ says the exercise director Col. Zdeněk Bauer. Almost half the flights carried out so far have been made by Czech pilots of the L-39 Albatros, L-159 ALCA, JAS-39 Gripen, Mi-24/35 and Mi-171Š.
„Our primary task is close air support (CAS) to the ground troops. We would not be ready to meet this goal without necessary training,“ explains Captain Pavel Linhart, an L-159 ALCA pilot. „Repeatedly within exercise Ample Strike, we prepare all-embracing scenarios inspired by both real situations in foreign operations and according to NATO standards,“ adds Colonel Bauer. The pilots are fighting off anti air defense and air refueling during their missions.
„We have been practicing air refueling for several years now. However, the qualifications conditions have to be always renewed each six months. During this year´s Ample Strike we have attached to a U.S. KC-135 tanker for 46 times, of which 28 contacts were training, while in the other 18 cases fuel was really drawn,“ particularizes Maj. Tomáš Merta, a 21st AFB inspector and a JAS-39 Gripen pilot. By the end of this year, the 21st Tactical Air Base Čáslav would like to have trained all its 20 Gripen pilots to be able to carry out air refueling.
A pair of American B-1 Lancer supersonic bombers, and a B-52 strategic bomber are participating, taking off from the U.K. base at Fairford. During their flights, they can use the KC-135 tanker to refuel, in cooperation with the air controllers, these planes are operating in training areas assigned. „A flight from the English base to Czech Republic takes over 2 hours, the bombers pilots have carried out 24 target guidance training missions from an altitude of 6-7 km,“ reveals Lt.Col. „Dumo,“ an instructor pilot of the B-52 strategic bomber.

Sally Ride was born on May 26, 1951, in Encino, California. As a young girl, Sally was fascinated by science. She credited her parents with encouraging her interests. Sally grew up playing with a chemistry set and a telescope. She also grew up playing sports. She competed in national junior tennis tournaments and was good enough to win a tennis scholarship to Westlake School for Girls in Los Angeles. In 1977, Sally Ride already had degrees in physics and English from Stanford University and was about to finish her Ph.D. in physics. She saw an article in the Stanford student newspaper saying that NASA was looking for astronauts. Up until then, most astronauts had been military pilots, and they all had been male. But now NASA was looking for scientists and engineers, and was allowing women to apply. Sally immediately sent in her application, along with 8,000 other people.
From that group, 35 new astronauts, including six women, were chosen to join the astronaut corps. NASA selected Sally as an astronaut candidate in January 1978. In August 1979, after a yearlong training and evaluation period, Sally became eligible for assignment as an astronaut on a space shuttle flight crew. She was selected as a mission specialist for mission STS-7 aboard the shuttle Challenger. When Challenger blasted off from Kennedy Space Center, Florida, on June 18, 1983, Sally Ride soared into history as the first American woman in space. Accompanying Sally aboard Challenger were Captain Robert L. Crippen, the spacecraft commander; Captain Fredrick H. Hauck, the pilot; and fellow mission specialists Colonel John M. Fabian and Dr. Norman E. Thagard. This was the second flight for the orbiter Challenger and the first mission with a five-person crew.
During the mission, the crew deployed satellites for Canada (ANIK C-2) and Indonesia (PALAPA B-1); operated the Canadian-built robot arm to perform the first deployment and retrieval with the Shuttle Pallet Satellite (SPAS-01); conducted the first formation flying of the shuttle with a free-flying satellite (SPAS-01); carried and operated the first U.S./German cooperative materials science payload (OSTA-2); and operated the Continuous Flow Electrophoresis System (CFES) and the Monodisperse Latex Reactor (MLR) experiments. The crew also activated seven Getaway Specials—small experiments sent into space by private individuals or groups. The mission lasted 147 hours before Challenger landed on a lakebed runway at Edwards Air Force Base, California, on June 24. Sally retired from NASA in 1987. She became a science fellow at the Center for International Security and Arms Control at Stanford University. In 1989, Sally joined the faculty at the University of California, San Diego as a professor of physics and director of the California Space Institute.

Using the internet resources and the information sent back from Mars (between 40 & 60 million miles away), here’s what my ticket got me.
I like to start off with this amazing panorama of the surface of Mars, courtesy of the Curiosity rover.
If you look up, you can see the same sun. The same sun we see. This is amazing:
Imagine all the past humans in history who have gazed up at the stars, wondering what’s up there, pondering our significance in the grand scheme of things. With the telescopes, discovering planets and moons, oh how they must have wondered what those worlds were like.
And here we are, with the ability to see in high definition the surface of Mars! I don’t see how anyone could not be amazed. That leads me to this video of Curiosity’s descent onto the Martian planet.
I love the technology that went into making it possible for Curiosity to land safely on the surface.
This video goes into detail showing how the entry in Mars works:
And this was just getting there; the little bird escaping the Earth’s birdcage and flying away to Mars.
With all the data we’ve gathered, it was only a matter of time until we started mapping Mars, in a detailed way that’s only been done on Earth. Google has set up a map (of course) of Mars And NASA has started a program for all humans on earth to help map Mars and get us ready for humans to visit.
Without any wind or rain (right? haha), the craters are in pristine condition reminding me of the Moon’s surface. Perhaps after finding only signs of life on the barren rocky world, this will wake us up to the treasure of life on Earth… and be more willing to save it, now that we’re at this point in human history on the vast timeline of the universe. | aerospace |

This came after the Federal Aviation Administration expressed fears that 5G C-Band would interfere with altimeters — devices used to help flights determine altitude.
Altimeters operate on an entirely different spectrum band yet the FAA banned flights from relying on altimeters for landings unless the airlines and manufacturers independently proved their altimeters would be safe after the 5G C-Band launch. The FAA had two years to prepare for the 5G C-Band launch yet failed to address the altimeter safety issue. This raises a lot of questions about the FAA’s behavior.

What is Drone Launch Academy About?
Drone Launch Academy is a training platform for people who are looking to venture into the drone commercial sector.
In other words, people who are looking at setting up their own drone business.
The training platform initially started as a side gig with just one course and gave you the basics to qualify as a drone pilot.
The FAA Part 107 course allows you to fly drones in the commercial sector.
The focus was on getting this course out to market and whilst Young tried several marketing methods which weren’t successful.
Not until he decided to reach out to affiliate marketers and it was at that time that things started to change.
After Jones had success with this course he decided to add additional courses and today you can find 9 courses and various prices.
The business has gone from strength to strength and current revenue is between $40k – £60k a month.
The training platform has really taken off which helps when you see the team that he has behind him who are from all walks of life and even the air force.
Who is The Founder of Drone Launch Academy?
David Young is the founder of the Drone LaunchAcademy which started way back in 2016 and was started as a side gig.
But quickly went from zero earnings to $50k a month, which was all in the first 24 months.
His main career at the time was working for the FBI as a financial analyst and forensic accountant.
There is an interview that you can find here which is brought to by a friend of Young’s.
What do You Get With Drone Launch Academy?
Drone Launch Academy offers nine online courses in all. Let’s take a closer look at each of them.
Before you even start thinking about investing in the FAA Part 107 exam you can get a feel for the exam by subscribing to the book for free.
You can do that by clicking the link here and scrolling down to the part of the webpage where can subscribe.

Drone Launch Academy Costs And RefundsThe course prices vary considerably and all down to how serious you are about starting a drone business.
Many will think the costs are steep but to be a commercial drone pilot does require at least the FAA 107 certificate.
Here are the prices which range from $49 – $1,595 remember that internal taxes will need to be taken into consideration…
- FAA Part 107 Remote Pilot Exam Prep Course – $199

Can You Pay For Drone Launch Academy With Instalments?
Unfortunately not, the full amount including taxes will have to be paid upfront.
Are There Any Upsells With Drone Launch Academy?
No, but you may think that you need to take additional courses to strengthen the business and make you more marketable.
Is There A Free Trial With Drone Launch Academy?
There is no free trial available.
Are There Any Additional Costs We Should Factor Into This Opportunity?
The main costs are going to be which drone or drones you decide to purchase which can cost as much as $10k and more.
Having said that as drones have come a long way in just a few years a drone around $1500 would be sufficient and more capable of taking on the task.
There would be a liability and product insurance that you are going to need to take out especially as the drone may be several thousand dollars.
Does Drone Launch Academy Come With A Refund?
There is a refund policy which applies to the FAA Part 107 Exam which comes with conditions.
If you manage to complete all the modules of the course and score 80% or higher within 7 days but then fail the exam you are eligible for a refund.
The company “Drone Launch Academy” will cover the cost of retaking the exam.
That’s how confident they are that everyone will pass the course!
Is Drone Launch Academy Worth it?For anybody who is looking to start a drone business in the commercial sector, there are plenty of choices out there to get qualified.
Drone Launch Academy is definitely one of the better training platforms out there and a plus is that they will pay for your retest that’s if you fail.
That surely has to be a big plus when the actual course costs $175.
You can also find as of this review 9 courses in total to enhance your flying capabilities as a drone pilot.
There is also a number of resources related to drones, like individual networks, insurance, repairs, legal, flight management etc
If you are thinking of investing heavily in your training then there is the Drone Business Master course for around $1500.
Overall, we think the Drone Launch Academy is well worth the money and you won’t be disappointed.
Absolutely it is and is backed up by a vast number of positive reviews that can be found internally on their website as well as externally.
Drone Launch Academy Student Reviews
There are plenty of reviews to be found on the DLA website but guess what they are of a positive nature.
I am not trying to say that these reviews can’t be trusted, you just need to be wary that only positive reviews will make it on there.
You just have a tread carefully when checking out reviews from people for any course and at the end of the day making a judgement call.
We were disappointed that we couldn’t find any reviews on Trustpilot but we did come across some on the Indeed website.
They use a star rating system and come out at 4.9/5 but that is based on only a few reviews and here are some to look at…
Drone Launch Academy – PROs
- The Founder Is Legit?
We believe that David Young is a competent founder which I think we have managed to portray.
You can read an interview about how David started this venture which did start as a side gig until he realised that he had hit on something good.
He did spend some time in the FBI as an analyst and forensic accountant so that alone should put him in good stead.
Drone Launch Academy – CONs
We couldn’t really find anything negative about the founder or this training platform.
The Final Verdict – Drone Launch Academy Reviews
Drone Launch is an online school that prepares you for a career as a drone pilot in the commercial sector.
For anybody looking to venture into this business in the US, you will need to take the Part 107 pilot’s license.
This is the main focus but as you can see there are additional courses on this training platform to better your skills.
The training is very well received and has some good feedback and is supported by a strong qualified team.
The training platform not only focuses on the Part 107 certificate but has a host of other useful courses.
Not to mention there are podcasts that are delivered by experts in this field covering a whole range of disciplines that you will find useful.
Drone Launch Academy definitely a training platform we would consider you checking out further.
What we do For a Living
It’s called affiliate marketing which is very similar to dropping shipping except you don’t have to worry about using a digital store.
The principle is the same in that you are the middle person and direct the customer to the merchant except you get paid a commission on a sale.
It also means that you are not restricted and are much more flexible.
Is one of if not the best ways to create multiple income streams.
I have personally been a member of Wealthy Affiliate since 2017 and the main reason why I was able to kiss goodbye to my 9-5 job.
Just check out the reviews on Trustpilot.
The training platform is a fully integrated one-stop-shop meaning that everything you need to succeed is in one place.
Drone Launch Academy Review – FAQsIn this section, we have put together a few questions that people are asking and hope they will help in your decision-making.
- What Do I Need To Do To Fly Drones For Money?
As a commercial drone pilot, you need to have in your possession the Part 107 certificate which comes from the FAA.
This is what this training platform prepares you for and once you have past this “pretty easy” exam then you will be able to earn money.
- What Happens If I don’t Have A Drone Pilot Certification?
Most countries allow you to fly a drone as a hobby without the Part 107 certificate (check your country).
But if caught making a living as a drone pilot without this certificate you could be facing some very hefty fines and possibly be banned.
So, please ensure that you have this certificate on your person.
Here’s an explanation of all the advice that you would ever need.
- What Score Do You Need To Become A Drone Pilot?
Obviously, the more popular a drone pilot becomes, this may mean the pass percentage goes up, but currently it is 70% of the test.
That means you will have to get at least 42 questions of the 60 right and if you fail then you will be able to retest after 2 weeks.
Remember that there will also be a fee for this test and I do believe that Drone Launch Academy will waver this fee for you.
- I Am Not Flying My Drone Directly For Business Just To Support It – Do I Still Need A License?
Yes, you do as this still comes under the use of the commercial sector.
- Where Do I Take The FAA Exam? How Do I Book An Appointment To Take The Exam? What Is The FAA Exam Fee?
There are many exam centres around and sure to find one near where you live.
You can find one by going to the FAA website here.
The exam fee currently costs you $175
- Are Drone Pilots In Demand?
According to research in the commercial drone pilot sector, the demand for drone pilots may grow by around 52% within the next 6 years.
With projected sales to be over sixteen billion by 2030.
Drones can be used for many applications, such as media and entertainment for seeking out locations, real estate, land surveys and mapping.
Even law enforcement, agriculture, construction and industrial.
- How Much Can A Drone Pilot Earn?
It obviously depends on the type of commercial jobs that you take on but a good guideline would be between $30 – $70 thousand a year.
we have even come across drone pilots who are hiring themselves out for $300 – $450 an hour but these roles are scarce.

With more and more people looking to fly for business trips, holidays, and more, it is essential to ensure that the aircraft used are of high quality so that everyone can have a safe journey. Making good quality airplanes requires attention to detail in both the design process as well as during its manufacturing. In this article, we will look at how you can make good-quality airplanes and keep them flying!
1. Aerospace QMS software
Aerospace Quality Management System (QMS) software is designed to help manufacturers meet the rigorous quality requirements of the aerospace industry. This software can be used throughout design, manufacturing, and service operations, helping to ensure that aircraft components are built to stringent standards. The software can also be used to generate reports on the status of product quality at any time.
Also, the aerospace QMS software can automate tasks such as product design reviews and certification. It also offers built-in tools to facilitate the analysis of data and can be used to detect any potential issues that may arise during production.
2. Design Validation
Design validation is essential for creating airplanes that are safe and reliable while meeting regulatory requirements. During the design phase, it is essential to rigorously test and validate the design of the aircraft components. This involves both static and dynamic testing – static tests focus on verifying that the component has been designed according to its specifications and requirements, while dynamic tests evaluate how the component behaves under different conditions such as temperature changes or vibration.
Validation ensures that each component meets safety requirements, so it must be done before mass production can begin.
3. Quality Control Procedures
Quality control procedures should be in place throughout all stages of production in order to ensure that only high-quality parts are used for the assembly and final completion of an aircraft. The quality control process typically starts with a pre-production inspection which verifies that all components meet design specifications before they enter the production cycle.
During production, quality control teams inspect each component as it comes off the assembly line and make sure that any defects are corrected before the component is cleared for use in an aircraft. This helps to ensure that all parts used in the manufacture of the aircraft meet standards set by aviation authorities.
4. Regular Maintenance Checks
Regular maintenance checks are essential for keeping airplanes in safe and reliable condition. During routine inspections, technicians will check over every aspect of an airplane’s structure, engines, systems, and components to make sure they are working properly and meeting safety regulations. Any issues found during these checks must be addressed quickly so that problems can be prevented from occurring or escalating with time. Regular maintenance also helps to ensure that an airplane continues to provide a safe and comfortable journey.
5. Use of Automation
Automation is increasingly being used in aircraft manufacturing and maintenance. Automated systems can help to reduce the amount of time needed for inspecting components and assemblies, as well as to detect potential issues before they become problems. Automated systems can also be used for quality control during production, allowing manufacturers to quickly identify any parts that do not meet their high standards.
6. Adherence to Regulations
Next, all aircraft must meet strict safety regulations set by aviation authorities. To ensure this is the case, manufacturers must comply with these regulations and adhere to any changes that may be introduced over time. Companies should have quality control systems in place to check that their airplanes are meeting these standards throughout production and even after delivery. This helps to ensure that customers can rely on an airplane for safe and reliable journeys. It also helps protect manufacturers from any legal consequences that may arise if they fail to meet these regulations.
7. Training and Education
Finally, staff members involved in the design and production of airplanes must have access to suitable training and education. This can help them understand how to properly use the tools available for designing an aircraft, as well as ensure that they are aware of any safety and quality requirements that must be met. Furthermore, regular refresher courses should be provided so that everyone is up-to-date with any changes or new regulations that may have been introduced.
Why is quality important for making good-quality airplanes?
Quality is essential for ensuring that an airplane is safe, reliable, and efficient. By following the steps outlined above and adhering to regulations set by aviation authorities, manufacturers can guarantee that their aircraft are made to the highest standards of quality possible. This helps to ensure a positive experience for those who use them.
Additionally, it will help build customer loyalty as people come to trust the brand’s products. Quality control procedures and automation also enable companies to identify any issues with their airplanes quickly and rectify them before they become bigger problems, thus reducing overall costs associated with maintenance and repairs. Ultimately, these factors all contribute to producing high-quality aircraft that both customers and manufacturers can be proud of.
Is it important for manufacturers to be up-to-date with any changes in regulations?
Yes, it is essential for manufacturers to stay updated on any changes in regulations. Aviation authorities regularly update their standards and it is the manufacturer’s responsibility to ensure that they are compliant with these requirements. Not adhering to new regulations can lead to penalties or other punitive measures, so it is important that companies take steps to make sure they are always following the latest rules and guidelines set by aviation authorities.
In addition, regular refresher courses should be provided so that staff members involved in designing and manufacturing airplanes understand what modifications have been made and how they affect their work.
By following the steps outlined above, airplane manufacturers can ensure that they are producing high-quality aircraft that will keep passengers safe and secure in the air. Quality is essential for any aviation company, so it is important to take all necessary measures to ensure that airplanes are built according to industry standards.

- Sierra Skies Aviation
When the need arose for Sierra Skies Aviation to purchase a Cessna Citation, we initially planned to interview three companies to help with the acquisition. However, after our initial meeting with Matt Bosco, the choice was made. Matt started by helping us figure out which Citation model would meet both our mission profile and our budget. Within just a short period of time, Matt began presenting us with aircraft for our consideration. This is when the benefits of working with Axis Jet really started to pay off. It is much more difficult to find a good airplane than one would imagine and Axis Jet's experience in finding solid aircraft worked to our advantage. From negotiating a purchase price and putting together an aircraft sales agreement, to making sure you get the best possible pre-purchase inspection and dealing with the maintenance department, we feel that Axis Jet is one of the best companies to have working for you when it comes to putting a purchase together. In addition, they have a terrific staff of administrative employees who make sure that the paperwork, documents and everything else you need is handled correctly. For someone who may be considering this kind of aircraft acquisition, it would be foolish do so without the help of an expert like Axis Jet.

A few weeks ago I turned the ripe age of 26, and I soared right into my new calendar year. Literally!
To celebrate my birthday, I hopped into a hot air balloon and floated over the Adirondack Mountains of New York.
I have been DYING to ride in a hot air balloon for what feels like forever. It’s been at the top of my bucket list for a long time, and my boyfriend actually listened (!!) and secretly planned for me to finally experience it. #swoon
So the weekend of my birthday, we drove three hours upstate to Saratoga Springs for a sunrise hot air balloon ride in New York. It was magical.
Seriously, hot air balloons are actually quite calm and a very tranquil experience. The scenery was beautiful, the weather was perfect, the sky was clear, and they serve champagne once you land. My kind of adventure ;)
Our hour-long flight was with ADK Balloon Flights — the first hot air balloon ride company in all of New York State. They were safe, super professional, and extremely pleasant to ride with.
If you’re looking to experience a hot air balloon ride in New York, this is your place! No matter what season.
Special shoutout to Michael for making my birthday wishes come true ✔ Cheers to 26 years! | aerospace |

By Elisa Shoenberger, Staff Writer
The U.S. Navy Blue Angels, the U.S. Army Parachute Team Golden Knights and the U.S. Navy Parachute Team Leap Frogs will headline the 61st annual Chicago Air and Water Show, set for 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Aug. 17-18.
Last year’s show drew an estimated 1 million people, said Mary May, Marketing and Communications, Public Relations Department of Cultural Affairs and Special Events for the City of Chicago.
The show will also feature the Royal Air Force Aerobatic Team The Red Arrows from the United Kingdom. Nineteen other groups will be performing with nine military demonstrations and ten civilian teams.
This year’s special guests, the RAF Red Arrows have performed nearly 5,000 times in 57 countries since 1965, according to a City of Chicago news release. The Red Arrows will perform in more than 20 displays in the U.S. and Canada on its first North American tour in 11 years, according to the Red Arrows website.
To get the Red Arrows’ Hawk T1 jets to North America, they will be flown over three days, the tour website said. They will have 12 Hawk aircrafts and 1 Atlas A400M RAF transport aircraft. The tour will include 108 people, “including pilots, engineers and support staff.”
A regular of the Air and Water Show, the U.S. Navy Blue Angels includes 16 officers. The Commanding Officer, known as the “Boss” who flies the number 1 jet, is required to “have at least 3,000 tactical jet flight-hours and have commanded a tactical jet squadron,” according to the Blue Angels website. Officers in jets 2 through 8 must “have an aircraft carrier qualification and a minimum of 1,250 tactical jet flight-hours.”
The U.S. Army Parachute Team Golden Knights was founded in 1959 but received its name in 1962 due to all the gold medals the Knights had won, according to the Golden Knights website.
“The team has earned the U.S. Army 2,148 gold, 1,117 silver, and 693 bronze medals in national and international competition,” the site said. “Team members have also broken 348 world records.” The Golden Knights currently have nearly 95 men and women, including four parachute units and five aircrafts, according to their website. They perform annually in over 100 events. | aerospace |

The Identical Astronaut Experiment
By Alex H. Kasprak, National Aeronautics and Space Administration
Identical twins Mark and Scott Kelly share more than looks. For 15 years, they shared the same jobÑastronaut.
Both have a great deal of experience in space. But one of themÑScottÑwill be spending a whole lot more time there come March 2015. He will be the first American astronaut to spend a year at the International Space Station. Most astronauts stay at the space station for no more than six months.
The goal of the mission will be to see what living in space for a long period of time does to a human. This kind of information is very important. If we are ever to send a person to a faraway place like Mars, we would need to know how to keep astronauts safe and healthy in space for long stretches of time.
When Scott was selected to be part of this historic mission, the brothers had a thought. They realized that even though only one of them was going back into space, they were uniquely qualified to act as a human experiment together.
In most experiments, scientists like to compare the thing they are experimenting on with something that is not being changed at all. But itÕs hard to compare one human to another. Any differences in results could simply be due to the fact that they are two different people.
But the Kelly brothers are identical twins. They are, biologically speaking, copies of each other. Any differences in their health during the experiment are likely because of the fact that one is in space. Comparing the two of them throughout the year will allow scientists a clear picture of what living in space for a long time can do to you.
Mark and Scott are so excited for this opportunity that they are asking scientists from all over the world for ideas for experiments to perform on them.
What kind of experiment would you perform if you had a twin in space?
What would you bring with you on a long trip to Mars? Find out how hard it is to make these tough decisions at NASAÕs Space Place: http://spaceplace.nasa.gov/mars-adventure/. | aerospace |

Have you ever wondered where exactly a satellite is contained in the launch vehicle?
Payload is stored right there within the white tip of the rocket, called payload fairing.
When a rocket ascends as high as the outer space where there is very little atmosphere, the payload fairing flips open, leaving the onboard satellite exposed to the outer space.
Once IBUKI-2 jettisons from the launch vehicle, it will extend its solar array wings which have been folded for encapsulation.
This marks the first step toward the satellite operations. | aerospace |

These composite images were made from the data received by NASA's Cassini spacecraft Last images of Cassini By cdeneke in Optinions; Today Friday, NASA let the probe Cassini enter into the atmosphere of Saturn, where it burned. The probe was delivering nice images and a lot of scientific data for 13 years. Even so not nanotechnology, I always.
For about 60 seconds, Cassini used the last of its rocket fuel to fire its thrusters, and plunge the spacecraft through Saturn's upper atmosphere. Cassini's last image during its crash course was taken at 3:59 p.m. ET on Thursday. This is the final photo Cassini transmitted before ending its mission View This image was taken on November 30, 2010, 1.4 years after southern autumnal equinox. The shadow of the body of Enceladus, one of Saturn's moons, on the lower portions of the jets is clearly seen. pictures and other Mind-blowing images of Saturn from the Cassini orbiter photos at ABC New these are the last images the cassini spacecraft sent to earth . nasa s cassini spacecraft zips by saturn s moon titan for 100th time . therefore the very design of huygens would have prevented it from being able to take any images until after the heat shield had been jettisoned
The Cassini mission's last image of Saturn's moon Titan was taken just four days before the spacecraft plummeted into the gas giant in September 2017. (NASA/JPL-Caltech/SSI) Just four days before the Cassini spacecraft's dramatic dive into Saturn's atmosphere last year, cameras aboard the spacecraft captured the mission's last image of Saturn's largest moon, Titan They are among the most evocative and puzzling members of the Saturn system, which Cassini has spent the last 13 years exploring. Over that time, it has snapped nearly half a million pictures
This montage of images, made from data obtained by Cassini's visual and infrared mapping spectrometer, shows the location on Saturn where the NASA spacecraft entered Saturn's atmosphere on.

Giovanni Domenico Cassini, also known as Jean-Dominique Cassini (8 June 1625 - 14 September 1712) was an Italian (naturalised French) mathematician, astronomer and engineer.Cassini was born in Perinaldo, near Imperia, at that time in the County of Nice, part of the Savoyard state. Cassini is known for his work in the fields of astronomy and engineering Cassini's last telemetry signal NASA To keep the antenna pointed at Earth, we used what's called 'bang-bang control,' says Julie Webster, Cassini's spacecraft operations chief at JPL So, what was Cassini's real last image? It was taken on 14 September 2017, at a distance of roughly 634,000km from Saturn's surface. That image is above among the last images Cassini sent back to Earth.

SpaceX successfully launched and landed a Falcon 9 rocket early Friday morning, another historic feat for the commercial company.
- SpaceX successfully launches Falcon 9 early Friday
- Rocket sent communications satellite into orbit for Japanese compay
- SpaceX successfully landed 1st stage rocket booster for 2nd time
The Falcon 9 lifted off from Space Launch Complex 40 at the Cape Canaveral Air Force Station at 1:21 a.m.
Those who stayed up overnight said seeing the launch was worth staying up late for.
“You see it first, and then you can feel the vibrations, and then you hear the sound, and so it’s quite spectacular,” said Ed Tronolone, who was visiting from Jupiter.
The rocket delivered a satellite to orbit for a Japanese television and communications company called SKY Perfect JSAT Corporation.
The JCSAT-14 satellite will hover more than 22,000 miles above Earth in geostationary orbit, delivering broadcast, data and internet service to Japan and beyond.
While the rocket was on its way to orbit, hundreds of miles off Florida’s east coast, the rocket’s first-stage booster successfully landed on a remote controlled barge.
This is the second successful landing at sea for SpaceX, following last month’s historic first landing on a ship.
That booster was brought back to Port Canaveral to undergo tests and will eventually be launched again.
“May need to increase size of rocket storage hangar,” SpaceX Founder and CEO Elon Musk tweeted Friday morning.
Musk says the goal is to reuse rockets to drive down the cost of launches.
SpaceX is hoping to ramp up the number of launches. By the end of the year, they want to be able to launch every two to three weeks.
Another communications satellite, this time for Thailand, was just delivered to the Cape and is scheduled to launch on a Falcon 9 at the end of the month.

The CRVS, the company’s newest visual display, helps simulation developers deliver immersive environments by providing a high-resolution “out-the-window” view for operators of equipment training simulations. The CRVS can be used for training operators of jets, rotorcrafts, or ground-based vehicles.
“CRVS is unique because it offers the same high resolution throughout the entire viewing area, providing an uninterrupted field of view and unvarying target acuity,” said Mark McGraw, Boeing vice president for Training Systems & Services. “It makes virtual training missions and other simulations more detailed and effective.”
The CRVS’s High Definition projector format is compatible with a wide variety of commercial-off-the-shelf projectors, and also uses significantly fewer projectors than other high-resolution displays, making it a more flexible and cost-effective solution. | aerospace |

OK it is an airplane and not a lift, but the principle remains the same, so make sure that your equipment is tested or you too could fall foul of a nasty incident.
Here’s the details…
The Hercules was taking off during a Rescue Exercise. As it did so a near disastrous fire that erupted, the likely cause being a hydraulic line that broke next to an electrical power cable.
The harrowing incident forced the nine crew members to scramble to safety and left the $35-million plane badly damaged, and all because of malfunctioning hydraulic equipment in the rear of the plane. They said:-
"The investigation team identified that a stainless steel braided flexible hydraulic line associated with the auxiliary hydraulic-system pump was breached where it routed next to an electrical power cable," and that "The ongoing investigation is focused on the maintenance history of the auxiliary hydraulic system."
The report described how the plane was rumbling down the runway when the loadmaster in the cargo compartment at the back of the plane was all but engulfed in a fireball just as the plane became airborne.
They managed to abort the takeoff and with the engines shut down, the nine crew members aboard were able to scramble from the plane. Only one crew member was slightly hurt, which looks pretty lucky to me.
All of this just goes to show how important it is to get your hydraulic systems tested! | aerospace |

As technology gets cheaper with time, high altitude balloon missions start to be an emerging hobby for teenagers as well as retired engineers and scientists. The main idea behind the HAB projects is quite simple – to launch a balloon filled with helium carrying some useful payload into stratosphere. At some point, mostly well above 20 km, the balloon bursts because of low pressure. The payload, usually consisting of GPS module and some electronics safely returns back to the earth with the help of parachute. The keys to success of such a project are good design, implementation and integration of all critical components. Since HAB projects offer almost unlimited possibilities for research and incorporate interdisciplinary skills, we have decided to start our own HAB project from scratch.
In September 2012 we had a first meeting with students from Solski Center Srecka Kosovela Sezana. Students were divided into two groups. First group – named “Mechanics & physics” – was in charge of the parachute and payload enclosure design. Students of the first group had to perform numerical simulations related to aerodynamics and they were also responsible for the final construction of the system. At the beginning of the project they did a research on a set of super-insulating materials suitable for payload enclosure construction. Once the total weight of the payload was estimated they calculated the required parameters for the latex balloon and dimensions of the parachute. Finally they designed and constructed the enclosure for the payload and sewed the parachute. During design phase of the system special care was taken to ensure compliance with ICAO (International Civil Aviation Organization) guidelines for light unmanned aerial balloons.
Second group of students was named “Systems engineering” group. Their task was to build a suitable flight computer equipped with different types of sensors, positioning system and radio communication device. A lot of efforts were put into development of software applications for data acquisition and in software generation of modulation signal used for APRS (Automatic Packet Reporting System) radio communication. During the first half of the project duration the project members were devoted to the development and construction of an ARM-based embedded flight computer. They also had to learn some Linux and C/C++ software development skills. In the second part of the project duration the student were involved in development of data acquisition and radio communication software. Individuals from both groups took part in project promotion, web site maintenance and photography too. One of the important tasks the students from both groups were also involved in was attraction of sponsors to the project.
The flight computer built is equipped with a diverse set of environmental sensors like temperature, humidity, air pressure, linear and angular acceleration and magnetic field. Simple detector of spectral composition of visual light, UV radiation detector and X-ray radiation detector are also installed in the system. To obtain the exact position of the balloon during the flight a GPS module is used. System also includes a VHF radio module used for transmitting telemetry data from balloon to the earth.
Within a given timeframe (October 2012 – May 2013) we developed a high altitude balloon including all crucial components from scratch. In the following months we plan to conduct a series of additional tests to verify the reliability of the developed components and to fine-tune some of the software parameters. Our official application for balloon launch has also been submitted to the local CAA regulator and we expect its approval within two months. | aerospace |

- If you want to be a builder, start building mini projects in school. Project-based clubs are the best way to start as a beginner (e.g. Penn Aerospace Club recruits beginner and advanced students alike every semester)!
- Take the time to talk to recruiters and people in the industry. Not only will this expose you to the industry and job, you can practice your conversation skills.
- Connecting "why" you are doing something to your overall mission of helping society can help you focus in on the careers that matter most.
Marcos graduated from the University of Texas at Austin with a BASc in Aerospace in 2007 and from the University of Pennsylvania School of Engineering and Applied Sciences in 2015 with a master's degree in Systems Engineering. SpaceX is the leading space transport company founded by University of Pennsylvania alumni, Elon Musk.
Editor: Marcos and I worked together on the Penn Aerospace Club board as Directors from 2015–2016. That year, he led our Space Balloon team to the national round. Besides the fact that Marcos is a straight-up genius, he never hesitated to help out with my endless stream of space recruitment questions. His inspirational work ethic is a major reason why I wanted to feature him.
Tell me about your background leading up to this role? How did you recruit for it?
When I was an undergrad studying Aerospace Engineering, I took part in quite a few projects that involved dealing with actual space hardware. This included helping build a small satellite that was actually deployed in space. After that, I spent some time teaching physics and chemistry, but then went back to grad school for a Masters in Systems Engineering at Penn. While at Penn, I continued working on aerospace related projects by joining the Penn Aerospace Club and was a project lead for the High Altitude Balloon Team.
I always wanted the opportunity to work at a leading edge tech company, so when the recruiters came to the school for a presentation, I had to go meet them. After the presentation ended, I stayed for a while and spoke with each of the presenters about my background. This led to my resume getting recommended internally and subsequently, to my interview.
Why did you choose SpaceX, and why did you want to go into the NewSpace industry?
Editor's note: The NewSpace industry is a result of the recent trend of privatization in the space industry by startups.
Like most space geeks, I grew up learning about the monumental achievements of NASA over the last fifty years. From the race to the moon, to the Shuttle Program, and finally to maintaining the International Space Station. The technical achievement was enormous, but at the same time, in more recent years, I have begun thinking about how while NASA can still achieve so much, the space industry as a whole is hindered by the fact that so much of our advancement here in the United States hinges on one major entity. Wherever NASA goes, space goes.
While at UT Austin, I attended a presentation by Burt Rutan, not long after he completed his historic suborbital spaceflight to win the Ansari X Prize. Afterwards, I was invigorated to learn about what the private space industry can do. Thus began my interest in NewSpace, where a private company could potentially gather the resources and technical know-how to complete missions that up until now could only be completed by the leading nations of this planet.
What can current students look forward to in terms of changes the NewSpace industry will be facing in the next five years?
In the next five years this industry will be undergoing a revolution. In the realm of small satellites, "cubesats" are becoming a dominant force, both for small inexpensive orbital experiments as well as for commercial uses. Reusable launch vehicles are already being made as we speak, and once those technologies become more commonplace, the price to go to space will be reduced dramatically and allow the creation of a true space economy. The advent of cheaper and more powerful launch vehicles will allow for more complex and far reaching missions into deep space.
From planetary landers, to planetary colonizers, to interstellar probes, science and humans will be reaching out and literally touching every part of this solar system in the future.
In the next five years there will be manned missions to other celestial bodies being planned. It is an exciting time to be a part of this industry and it will be a great time to learn and be a part of this revolution.
What soft and technical skills were most useful? Which of those have you developed while on the job?
It really depends on where you end up on the job, but most engineering type jobs look for demonstrated technical skills. You want to have shown through projects, in class, or in extracurricular activities, that you are able to work on a real engineering challenge. This may be via building a satellite, a racecar, or a software system. That's the easiest way to both demonstrate your knowledge, and also learn a lot about how to apply everything you've learned in class.
I personally have to use soft skills a lot. I work with a lot of different people, both from a technical and non-technical respect. Having good soft skills allows you to communicate your ideas effectively to work better with a team. There aren't very many engineering positions where you are working by yourself.
In today's world, every system is highly integrated and the technical must meet with both the design factors and human factors. The soft skills help bridge those gaps.
What is the biggest motivating factor about working at SpaceX?
There is a really big sense of purpose where I work. We are working to change the industry and even the world. We have a very solid goal and everyone at the company understands that and pushes to achieve it. It is very rewarding to work so hard and actually be able to see the fruits of your labor take shape.
What is a reality about the job that students should be aware of before seriously considering it?
The reality is that interesting work is usually very hard work. Most students want to be a part of some new and exciting company, but along with that must come hard work. Accomplishing amazing things isn't easy and that's why it's amazing. That being said, nothing is too hard and in my opinion, the harder the task the greater the reward.
What would you recommend to young Penn students who are looking into a career like this?
My biggest recommendation is to get involved with some kind of project. Projects give you the experience you need. It is very important to take a large role in a project and truly contribute to its completion. It makes the transition from school to work much easier, and it also makes interviews a breeze because you have so much to talk about.
Find a project you're passionate about and just pursue it whole-heartedly.
There are so many student-run projects at Penn that it's hard to name just one, but I really advise to join one where you can get your hands dirty.
As for exploration outside of Penn, I would just keep an ear open for any conferences, talks, or meetings that have anything to do with what you are interested in. Go to as many as you can and talk to as many people as you can. Any one of them could be the lead you need to get that awesome job. Even those conversations that don't lead to anything meaningful are great practice sessions for your interview and soft skills.

One important way it does so is through the creation of standardized agreements, including the Standard Ground Handling Agreement (SGHA).
The SGHA is a contract used between airlines and ground handling companies to establish a standardized set of terms, conditions, and procedures for ground handling services. The agreement covers everything from the handling of passenger baggage and cargo to aircraft maintenance and catering.
One of the key benefits of the SGHA is its ability to improve efficiency and safety in ground operations. By standardizing procedures and ensuring that all parties follow the same rules, the SGHA reduces the risk of accidents or delays caused by misunderstandings or miscommunications.
The SGHA is also flexible and adaptable, allowing airlines and ground handlers to customize the agreement to meet their specific needs. This can include adding clauses for specific services or adjusting prices and timelines.
To ensure that the SGHA remains up-to-date and relevant, IATA regularly reviews and updates the agreement. The most recent version, SGHA 2018, includes changes to reflect the evolving aviation industry, including new technology and safety requirements.
For airlines and ground handling companies, adopting the SGHA can bring numerous benefits, including improved safety and efficiency, reduced costs, and increased transparency and accountability. Additionally, the adoption of a standardized agreement can simplify negotiations and streamline the contracting process.
Overall, the SGHA is an important tool in the aviation industry, used to facilitate safe, efficient, and standardized ground handling operations. With its flexibility and adaptability, it is likely to remain a critical component of the industry for years to come. | aerospace |

At the outset of airborne FAC, the first plane employed was the L-5, which was already in use by the Army for artillery spotting. It was considered largely unsatisfactory, however, and the T-6 became the FAC aircraft for the duration of the conflict.
The early TACPs FAC radio was a heavy, jeep-mounted device that depended on the jeep for power. By 1951, the Air Force adopted a better jeep (the M-38), a new radio, and a more powerful generator to run both the radio and a homing beacon. The eight-channel (ARC-3) and four-channel (SCR-522) radios gave the FAC increased capability to talk with aircraft.
Air Force TACP personnel of the Tactical Control Squadrons lived as soldiers during their tour at the front, unofficially nicknamed the "Air Force Infantry." Although they received combat pay and took casualties early in the war, the Tactical Control Squadrons were officially considered to be a non-combat unit.
The decline in more traditional methods of COMINT production forced the services into trying new ideas, or, in one case, reverting to an older one.
In late 1951, in conditions reminiscent of France in 1917, ASA personnel inadvertently rediscovered an intercept technique used extensively in World War I. UN forces in Korea commonly planted sound detecting devices forward of their bunkers to give warning of approaching enemy troops; it was found that these devices also picked up telephone calls. This "ground-return intercept," using the principle of induction, enabled collection of some Chinese and Korean telephone traffic.
The bad news was this intercept had to be conducted much closer to enemy positions than normal intercept, sometimes as close as thirty-five yards. This risk was assessed carefully and accepted.
Ground-return intercept (GRI) gave UN forces access to information on Chinese or North Korean patrols, casualty reports, supply problems, and evaluations of UN artillery strikes.
One colonel who participated in the GRI program was heard to remark that the information was so well appreciated by his soldiers that he had little trouble getting volunteers to go out at night and implant the equipment to make intercept possible.
A second innovation in COMINT production became one of the foremost producers of tactical intelligence for the U.S. military. This was low-level intercept (LLI).
"U.S. Air Force Air Rescue Service units would soon be flying similar helicopters, designated as H-5s, from land bases to pick up downed pilots, often behind enemy lines. Within months, Air Force helicopters joined the Marine choppers in rushing badly wounded leathernecks from frontline aid stations to field hospitals and later to a Navy hospital ship offshore, sharply reducing delays in providing lifesaving medical care."
Low-level teams initially consisted of an officer, driver, and one to three opera-tors/translators working out of a jeep; over time the number of operators increased. Although the mobile operations were productive, the jeeps were considered too vulnerable, and operations were "dug in" in bunkers near the main line of resistance, as it was then called. The product was disseminated directly to combat units, usually at regimental level.
The first attempt at front-line LLI in July 1951 proved only partially successful, but, after some changes in equipment, the program began in earnest in August. Seven LLI teams were fielded by November 1951. By the following May, ten LLI teams were in operation, with planning for more. The success of the program is attested by the fact that by October 1952, fifteen LLI teams were at work, and by the end of the war, twenty-two LLI teams were active.
It was estimated that the tactical value of LLI product lasted from twenty minutes to three days at best - but, however perishable, it paid off. In early September, units in the U.S. 1st Cavalry Division area successfully repelled a heavy attack by the PLA. One important element in this victory was the advance warning given by the 1st Cav's LLI team.
Because the LLI teams dealt in perishable and current intelligence, not much long-term analysis was done - or possible. It thus became difficult to keep continuity on opposing units. These problems were eased somewhat with the creation of an LLI "control section" at ASA headquarters in Seoul in late 1951. This section collated reports from the field and service as a reference source on language problems and OB questions.
While United Nations forces struggled to hold onto the Pusan perimeter in the late summer of 1950, the U.S. 1st Provisional Marine Brigade was rushed into action to reinforce U.S. Army and Republic of Korea (ROK) troops defending that precarious pocket in the southeast corner of South Korea. The undermanned 5th U.S. Marine Regiment and its support units had barely arrived at Pusan when they were moved in borrowed Army trucks to stop a North Korean assault near Chindong-ni, on the perimeter's western edge. Brigade commander Brigadier General Edward A. Craig knew little about the terrain his Marines would have to cross, so he climbed into a Sikorsky HO3S-1 helicopter and lifted off to scout the route, give directions to the lead battalion, pick a spot for his command post and meet with his Army superiors. Returning from the meeting with Lieutenant General Walton H. Walker, the Eighth Army commander, Craig stopped three more times to confer with his unit commanders. That crucial trip aboard a chopper from Marine Observation Squadron 6 (VMO-6) on August 3, 1950, was a harbinger of the increasingly vital role rotary wing aircraft would play in three years of tough fighting in Korea.
While the Marines were inaugurating the use of the underpowered Sikorsky helicopters in command-and-control, light resupply and medical evacuation roles, the Navy was flying those same choppers from aircraft carriers and a few large warships operating in the Sea of Japan. The Navy helos were used at first to pluck downed fliers from the sea and undertake short logistical missions between ships. But they quickly took on added duties such as gunfire spotting for the warships. Later in the conflict they became key elements in the prolonged effort to clear coastal waters of mines.
U.S. Air Force Air Rescue Service units would soon be flying similar helicopters, designated as H-5s, from land bases to pick up downed pilots, often behind enemy lines. Within months, Air Force helicopters joined the Marine choppers in rushing badly wounded leathernecks from frontline aid stations to field hospitals and later to a Navy hospital ship offshore, sharply reducing delays in providing lifesaving medical care.
Early in 1951, Army helicopters also began to fly medevac missions, sparing seriously wounded soldiers punishing ambulance trips over Korea's wretched roads. Between their rescues of downed airmen and isolated ground troops and flying ambulance missions, U.S. helicopters were credited with saving tens of thousands of lives during the war. "Few technical innovations were equal in importance to the growing use of the helicopter for medical evacuations," one Army history declared. With the arrival of larger, more capable helicopters later in the conflict, the Marines and Army would demonstrate the usefulness of vertical lift aircraft in the tactical movement of troops and supplies — a role that would become the hallmark of another Asian war a decade later.
When North Korean forces invaded South Korea on June 25, 1950, four HO3S-1 helicopters and 37 Marines were transferred from HMX-1 to VMO-6, which departed for Korea in July aboard the escort carrier Badoeng Strait. The squadron's four helicopters and eight Stinson OY-1 (the U.S. Navy designation for the L-5) fixed-wing spotter planes flew into the Pusan perimeter on August 2, as the Provisional Brigade's ground troops were arriving. The helicopters quickly proved their worth, helping General Craig and his battalion commanders overcome their lack of familiarity with their operating area. "Helicopters were a life saver in this connection, as they provided the means for even commanders of small units to get into the air quickly from almost any point and identify roads, villages and key points prior to moving their troops," Craig recalled.
The helicopters added pilot rescue to their duties on August 3 when an HO3S carrying Craig diverted to pick up a Marine Vought F4U-4 Corsair pilot who had been shot down during a close air support mission. Marine choppers would assume that role scores of times in the coming months. Major Robert J. Keller, a commander of VMF-214, the famous "Black Sheep" fighter squadron, said later, "The helicopters have done a wonderful service in rescuing downed pilots under the very guns of the enemy."
As the choppers' roles diversified, their crews implemented a variety of field modifications. When asked to carry casualties to the rear, the Marines found that a stretcher would not fit inside the HO3S's small cabin. So they removed the rear window on one side and stuffed the wounded man's litter in headfirst, leaving his feet exposed to the weather. On occasion, innovative helicopter crews also supported the infantry by laying field telephone wires between units, putting down lines over rugged terrain within minutes that would have taken men on foot days to cross.
Equipped with only the most basic instruments, the helicopters were not actually certified for night flying. But with so many lives at stake, Marines soon found themselves evacuating casualties after sundown. Pilots from the other services also defied the ban on night flying. In the end, chopper crews would conduct hundreds of dangerous nighttime medevac missions.
To meet the increasing demands for their services, additional Marine helicopters and pilots were sent from Japan in August. General Craig called for larger helicopters that could carry heavier loads, and Marine headquarters responded within a year. VMO-6 helicopters had no immediate role in the 1st Marine Division's daring amphibious landing at Inchon on September 15, but choppers got into the action the next day when one of the squadron's helos flying off an LST (landing ship, tank) rescued a Corsair pilot who had ditched in the harbor. Many of the rescue missions proved dangerous, and VMO-6's helicopter units suffered their own losses. Two choppers were shot down, and one pilot was killed while trying to rescue other fliers during the advance from Inchon to Seoul.
The choppers played key roles during the Marines' advance to the Chosin Reservoir and their fighting withdrawal from the massive Chinese offensive, maintaining contact among the widely separated units. And they also continued flying medical supplies and critical materiel in and carrying casualties out of small landing spots in the narrow valleys of North Korea. Two more choppers were shot up and another pilot killed during that precarious withdrawal.
Late in 1950, as the numbers of HO3Ss were shrinking due to losses, VMO-6 started transitioning to Bell HTL-4s, the helicopters made famous by the M*A*S*H TV show's opening scene. The Bells could carry two casualties in litters strapped on each side, twice the load that could be carried by HO3Ss.
Navy helicopters were in the war zone shortly before the Marines, when U.S. Seventh Fleet units, including the aircraft carriers Valley Forge and Philippine Sea, arrived offshore to support the retreating U.S. and ROK troops. Each carrier had a helicopter detachment from HU-1 serving as plane guard or "angel" to recover pilots from the water. Retired Navy Commander Harold R. Gardiner, then a lieutenant, led the HU-1 detachment on Valley Forge at the end of 1950, with Chief Aviation Pilot Dan Fridley as the other pilot.
During rescues, pilots normally flew with an enlisted crewman who operated the rescue hoist and frequently had to jump into frigid water to assist pilots into the "horse collar" sling. Raymond Swanecamp, who flew with an HU-1 detachment on Valley Forge as a radioman 3rd class, explained that the crewmen were trained in water rescues at the Underwater Demolition Team (UDT) school at Coronado, Calif.
Helicopters also were assigned to some cruisers and battleships, and their pilots soon began experimenting with adjusting fire for the big guns. Retired Lt. Cmdr. Earl Bergsma, who flew off USS St. Paul, recalled a number of missions when he tried to direct the heavy cruiser's 8-inch guns against trains and railroad tunnels along the North Korean coast while being shot at by enemy troops.
Jones, who flew from several cruisers in 1950-51, said chopper crews received a very short course in gun spotting at Coronado before deploying. But mainly, he recalled, "we learned as we went." The results were often remarkable. A 1950 Navy report found that "a ship using its own helo and carrying its own spotting officer possessed one of the best assets to accurate marksmanship that a ship could have."
Navy helicopters debuted as part of the mine-clearing forces during the attempted amphibious landing at Wonsan in September 1950. Their capability was demonstrated unintentionally when the cruiser Helena's helo pilot, Lieutenant Harry W. Swineborne, photographed two moored mines while searching for survivors of a sunken minesweeper in Wonsan Harbor. Flying from the cruiser Worchester, Chief Aviation Pilot B.D. Pennington spotted more mines a few days later, and soon the helicopters were a key part of mine-clearing operations in Wonsan and other Korean ports. Some helicopter crewmen tried to destroy floating mines with rifle fire, but that was discouraged after exploding mines nearly knocked a helicopter out of the sky, Bergsma recalled.
Helicopters saved several mine-sweeping ships by spotting mines in their path or directing them out of a surrounding minefield. "The helicopters had many friends in the minesweeps," said Lt. Cmdr. I.M. Laird, skipper of the minesweeper Dextrous, who was among those guided to safety. While mine-clearing operations at Wosan dragged on, Navy helicopters were based on LSTs that had been fitted with a landing platform. "As time went on, our copters got more and more into the role of rescue," said Lieutenant T.E. Houston, a captain of LST-799. Air Force helicopters also began operating in Korea in July 1950, when the 3rd Air Rescue Squadron deployed a detachment of H-5s from Japan to conduct what an Air Force history referred to as an "ill-defined combat search and rescue mission." One historian wrote, "By using a combination of sheer guts, good luck and learn-as-you-go mentality, the ARS logged hundreds of combat saves and was responsible for the evacuation of 9,898 personnel by the end of the war."
As UN forces advanced out of Pusan following the Inchon landing, Detachment F moved north to Seoul K-16, but had to fall back to K-37 south of Taegu when the Chinese attacks forced the allies to retreat. In February Detachment F helicopters made multiple flights to deliver blankets, blood plasma and medical supplies and to fly out casualties when part of the 2nd Division was surrounded at Chipyong-ni. At times defying 40-knot winds and blinding snow, the chopper crews saved 52 soldiers within two days.
In response to calls for more capable aircraft, an Air Proving Ground team brought two Sikorsky H-19s to Korea in March 1951. The day after they arrived, one was used to help the smaller H-5s evacuate paratroopers from the Mussan-ni drop zone.
While UN forces stalled the Chinese offensive in late spring of 1951, the detachment's missions changed. With the fighting settling into trench warfare, the Eighth Army was suffering fewer casualties and Army helicopters were taking over a larger share of the medevac duties. But enemy flak was downing more allied aircraft over hostile territory, so the Air Force helicopters soon went back to rescue missions.
In June the Air Force renamed the unit Detachment 1, 3rd ARS, and opened a search-and-rescue coordination facility at the Fifth Air Force's tactical air control center in Seoul. In February 1952, Detachment 1 began replacing its H-5s with H-19s. The larger helicopters had a flight radius of 120 miles, compared to 85 miles for the H-5s, and could carry nine litters instead of only one. As part of worldwide reorganizations in 1952-53, the 3rd Air Rescue Squadron became a group and Detachment 1 became the 2157th Air Rescue Squadron.
Despite its early work with helicopters, the Army was the last of the U.S. services to bring rotary wing units into Korea. The first Army unit, the 2nd Helicopter Detachment, arrived there on November 22, 1950, with four Bell H-13Bs (the same aircraft as the Marine HTLs). After additional training, the unit became operational on January 1, 1951. It was joined later that month by the 3rd and 4th Helicopter detachments, with four of the Bells. Using procedures developed by the Air Force, the H-13s began to assume much of the medevac burden.
In May the detachments were redesignated as the 8191st, 8192nd and 8193rd Army units. Similar to the learning process the Marines and the Air Force had gone through, a postwar report said, the Army pilots and the ground troops they served had to learn by trial and error what their choppers could or could not do during medevac missions. For example, ground units calling for medevacs had to be taught the importance of providing accurate coordinates for pickup and how to mark landing spots with panels or colored smoke. Ground commanders were told to request helicopter evacuation only for troops with head, chest or abdominal wounds, multiple fractures and great loss of blood, or if no ambulance were available or ground transport would likely exacerbate patients' serious injuries.
By the end of 1951, historian Lynn Montross observed, "evacuations of casualties by helicopter was no longer a Marine Corps specialty. It had become the American way." During their first 12 months of operation in 1951, Army helicopters carried 5,040 wounded. By mid-1953, despite the shortcomings of the early helicopters, Army choppers evacuated 1,273 casualties in a single month. "Costly, experimental and cranky, the helicopter could be justified only on the grounds that those it carried, almost to a man, would have died without it," an Army historian concluded.
Army commanders quickly found, as the Marines had, that given the mountainous terrain and poor communications that plagued allied forces, helicopters were valuable command-and-control aids. An Army report said the helos "have been established as an extremely useful tactical tool of command in combat and their use has permitted commanders to have a more intimate knowledge of conditions with their command than ever before possible."
Although the first extensive use of helicopters in combat was handicapped by the limited capabilities of the early aircraft and the need to develop procedures under wartime pressure, they were widely hailed as tools that would be vital in future conflicts. On the basis of his experiences in Korea, Eighth Army commander Lt. Gen. Maxwell Taylor said: "The cargo helicopter, employed in mass, can extend the tactical mobility of the Army far beyond its normal capability. I hope that the United States Army will make ample provisions for the full exploitation of the helicopter in the future."
By the time the United States went to war again in Vietnam, a decade later, helicopters had made the transition from useful novelty to a symbol of the American way of fighting.
In the peaceful years just after World War II, while the United States was deactivating combat units, releasing servicemen and servicewomen from duty, and dismantling arsenals, Air Force leaders were developing aircraft for an air war yet to come--the jet war. The Air Force, under Gen. Hoyt S. Vandenberg, was building a solid nucleus of modern aircraft, even as it shrank in size.
The events of June 25, 1950 shattered the brief postwar peace and sparked the militarization of the cold war. Communist North Korean troops stormed across the 38th parallel. Attacking at dawn, the North's spearhead of Soviet-built T-34 tanks and following infantry swept aside the first defenses and flooded south into the Republic of Korea. South Korean forces, taken by surprise, wavered and broke. Communist infantry and marines poured ashore on South Korea's east coast near Kangnung. Kaesong fell at 9:00 a.m., and the seaborne Communist columns pushed their way inland.
The attack set off immediate alarms far south and east of the Korean battlegrounds, in Japan. There, the bases of the US Fifth Air Force were spread out in a defensive arc from Kyushu in the south to Honshu in the north. Fifth Air Force combat squadrons formed the backbone of US air defenses in the Far East.
The Fifth was largest of the Far East Air Forces (FEAF), recognized as the major air element of Gen. Douglas MacArthur's Southwest Pacific Area Theater. FEAF's primary mission was to maintain active air defense of the Far East Command and theater of operations. Fifth Air Force provided the "appropriate mobile air striking force" prescribed in FEAF's mission statement.
The mainstay of the Fifth's defensive capability was the first jet fighter that the United States ever produced in quantity: the Lockheed F-80C Shooting Star. This new aircraft was deployed with the 35th Fighter-Interceptor Wing at Yokota, near Tokyo; with the 68th Fighter-Bomber Wing at Itazuke Air Base on Kyushu; and with the 49th Fighter-Bomber Wing at Misawa on northern Honshu.
The United States knew it required more than the F-80 jet fighter for the war effort. The F-80 squadrons were backed by two all-weather fighter units operating prop-driven North American F-82 Twin Mustangs. In fact, FEAF's planners also saw a need for Fifth Air Force to use every prop-driven F-5l North American Mustang that could be found. They understood and valued the F-5l 's longer range and ability to operate from short, rough airfields.
Also deployed at Yokota were RF-80A reconnaissance planes of the 8th Tactical Reconnaissance Squadron. Two light tactical bomber squadrons of the 3d Bombardment Wing, equipped with Douglas B-26 Invaders, were deployed at Johnson AB, north of Tokyo. Rounding out Fifth Air Force's lineup of units was the 374th Troop Carrier Wing, which operated out of Tachikawa AB with two squadrons of Douglas C-54 transport aircraft.
"A Shoestring Air Force"
In the first days of the war, Lt. Gen. George E. Stratemeyer, FEAF Commander, sent a message to USAF Headquarters asking for personnel to bring all units up to war strength. He also requested 164 F-80s, twenty-one F-82s, sixty-four F-51s, twenty-two B-26s, twenty-three Boeing B-29s, twenty-one C-54s, and fifteen Douglas C-47s. Most of these planes were needed to round out squadrons to war strength and provide a ten percent reserve for combat attrition. Unfortunately, the Air Force in 1950 was what General Vandenberg would later describe as "a shoestring Air Force." Deep reductions in personnel in 1949 and early 1950 brought its strength down to 411,277--less than one fifth the size of the 2,000,000-strong World War II flying force. USAF had to support the first year of operations with World War II equipment stocks.
Even so, there was no shortage of USAF action. By June 26, only hours after the North Korean invasion began, airmen from the Fifth Air Force were flying over the peninsula in every available plane, evacuating Americans via Seoul's Kimpo Airfield and carrying other noncombatants out of the beleaguered country.
The enemy, however, continued to press hard and fast as the droning USAF transports--C-54s, C-47s, and Curtiss C-46s--undertook their life-saving sorties under protective cover of F-80 jets, prop-driven F-51 Mustangs, and F-82 Twin Mustang night fighters.
On June 27, under orders from Washington, Fifth Air Force fighters went to war in earnest, aided by carrier-based Navy and Marine fighter and attack planes, Royal Australian Air Force Meteor jets, South Korean and South African fighter-bombers, and Greek and Thai transport units.
The First Jet Victories
On the same day, Air Force 1st Lt. Robert H. Dewald, flying an F-80 jet, downed a Soviet-made Ilyushin Il-1 attack plane. Lieutenant Dewald's achievement is recorded as the first-ever American aerial victory attributed to a pilot flying a jet aircraft. Flying a cover mission earlier that day, 1st Lt. William G. Hudson and Maj. James W. Little, both flying in prop-driven F-82 fighters, were attacked by two North Korean fighters, and the US pilots fought back. With guns blazing, they flamed two enemy planes. Lieutenant Hudson is credited with downing a Yak-II fighter. Major Little is credited with destroying an La-7. The Air Force scored three other aerial victories on its first complete day of offensive fighter operations. Lt. Charles Moran, Capt. Raymond Schillereff, and Lt. Robert E. Wayne, flying in an F-82 and F-80s, respectively, brought down a Soviet-made La-7 and two Soviet-made Il-1s.
The following day, June 28, saw another Air Force "first." On the morning of that day, the southward-drifting polar front stood over the airfields on Kyushu, but the Fifth Air Force had to fly. Lt. Bryce Poe II took off alone into the murky overcast from Itazuke in his RF- 80A. His task was to reconnoiter and photograph the vanguard of the North Korean force. Weather at Itazuke was foul, but Lieutenant Poe found clear weather in Korea, and he successfully carried out his mission. Lieutenant Poe's flight marked the first reconnaissance sortie of the Korean War and, of greater historical significance, the Air Force's first combat jet reconnaissance sortie.
While the ground war raged up and down the Korean peninsula, FEAF pilots waged unceasing air war against the North Korean enemy-- destroying aircraft; attacking supply and troop depots; shattering critical transportation facilities and routes; burning vehicles, locomotives, and railcars; and relentlessly pounding front-line, dug-in positions. American pilots went into this fresh combat bolstered by their battle-tested experience of World War II. For the most part, the Americans who carried the brunt of early fighting were veteran aviators.
Early in the war, it was North Korea's Yakovlev fighters that tangled most frequently with the American Mustangs and Shooting Stars. However, as the Chinese Communists moved into the battle along the Yalu River in the war's first winter, the sweptwing, Soviet-made MiG-15 fighter entered the Korean air war. So, too, did an American aircraft that soon would become known as the "MiG Killer": the North American F-86 Sabre.
To be sure, the Air Force's slower F-80 jets already had gone up against the MiGs before the F-86 appeared on the scene in Korea. The first "jet-to-jet" victory in military history, in fact, saw a Soviet-made MiG-15 going down in flames at the hands of an American F-80 pilot. Lt. Russell J. Brown of FEAF's 16th Fighter Squadron sparred with and then brought down the Soviet jet on November 8, 1950. It was in encounters with the F-86, however, that the Soviet-made MiGs met their true nemesis.
The critical role of the F-86 is made plain in the final tally of Korean War victories. The Air Force's official victory publication lists page after page of Sabre pilot victories over the MiG-15. Of 839 MiG-15s shot down in air-to-air combat during the Korean War, fully 800 were brought down by Sabre pilots. The enemy managed to drop only fifty-eight of the F-86s.
Ace is a title of honor given to an airman officially credited with downing five or more enemy aircraft. Of the forty Americans of all services who became aces in the Korean War, thirty-nine made their mark in F-86s. (The only non-Sabre ace, Navy Lt. Guy P. Bordelon, had five night kills in his F4U-5N.) Though they didn't become aces, many other American pilots scored victories. These individuals are credited with a total of 114 air-to-air victories in Korea. Of these, nearly two-thirds--seventy-two--were racked up by pilots flying the F-86.
Making Aviation History
By May 20, 1951, Capt. James Jabara, an F-86 pilot, had destroyed four enemy MiGs and needed but one more to become the first "jet-to-jet ace" in history. Late that afternoon, two Sabre flights closed into "MiG Alley" and found that the adversary was willing to come up and fight. Hearing the news by radio, two other Sabre flights, one of which included Captain Jabara, sped to the area, arrived in fifteen minutes, and took part in the combat. In the battle, thirty-six USAF Sabre pilots battled some fifty MiGs. Jabara plunged into the fight and downed not one but two MiGs, establishing his place in aviation history.
In the pages of this magazine's June 1951 issue, Captain Jabara described the mission: "I tacked on to three MiGs at 35,000 feet, picked out the last one, and bored straight in. My first two bursts ripped up his fuselage and left wing. At about 10,000 feet, the pilot bailed out. It was a good thing he did, because the MiG disintegrated. Then I climbed back to 20,000 feet to get back into the battle. I bounced six more MiGs. I closed in and got off two bursts into one of them, scoring heavily both times. He began to smoke. Then, when my second burst caught him square in the middle, he burst into flames and fell into an uncontrollable spin. All I could see was a whirl of fire. I had to break off then because there was another MiG on my tail."
At war's end, Captain Jabara could claim fifteen MiG kills. In terms of Korean War victories, Captain Jabara was surpassed only by Capt. Joseph H. McConnell, Jr. In the first five months of 1953, the F-86 pilot from 39th Fighter Squadron bagged sixteen MiG-15s. On one particularly auspicious day--May 18--Captain McConnell dropped three MiGs, thus becoming the first "triple jet ace" in USAF history.
The Korean War was a watershed in military aviation. As the pilots knew only too well, times were changing. The machines were unlike any ever seen, and the era of free-lance air warriors was rapidly passing. Captain McConnell, discussing his status as an ace, made a portentous statement: "It's the teamwork out here that counts. The lone wolf stuff is out. Your life always depends on your wingman and his life on you. I may get credit for a MiG, but it's the team that does it, not myself alone." | aerospace |

How do rockets work?
If you fill a long skinny balloon with air, then let it go without tying it, you will have created a rocket, of sorts. The fuel for the rocket comes from your lungs and creates thrust. This is the power that lifts the balloon off of the ground overcoming the weight and driving it upward. It creates a lift, which carries the rocket into the air. The weight of the balloon and the air that gets in the way as it rises is what carries it back down because the opposite force of lift is drag.
These Laws of Motion were first observed by Sir Isaac Newton in 1666 when he allegedly saw an apple fall from a tree. He wrote a book about it in 1687.

Whilst it’s slightly disturbing that Cleantechnica continues to confuse the Rolls-Royce brand used on increasingly vulgar BMW made cars with one of the world’s leading engineering and aerospace firms, we can confirm that it is the latter which is developing the electric plane detailed in this story.
Rolls-Royce is the global leader in jet engines for large civilian airliners but it has its eye on an electric future with this attempt to develop the fastest plane powered entirely by electric. Using increasingly efficient electric motors from Japanese firm YASA, the plane is expected to break the E-plane speed record of 210mph currently held by Siemens and may go as fast as 300mph. The range is reported to be over 200 miles which will allow a very quick way to go for an impromptu lunch in Paris.
There is a local interest as well; this plane is being tested at what the report labels ‘Gloucestershire airport’ although we suspect that it is actually being flown out of Filton near the Rolls-Royce jet engine factory rather than Staverton which is actually in Gloucestershire.

World War II brought a need for very long-range bombers and Northrop received a contract for a 172-ft span bomber, the B-35. Several of these were built, gradually evolving into the definitive XB-35 configuration. Testing revealed that the aircraft was invisible to radar, but engineers struggled to overcome the design challenges and several pilots were lost in crashes. While the program was cancelled in the 1950s, the concept extended into other highly innovative areas, such as the XP-56 and MX-324 Rocket Wing prototype fighters. But the greatest legacy was the first operational flying wing - the Northrop Grumman B-2 stealth bomber, which used much of the hard-won experience from the pioneering programs of half a century before.Introduction Flying Wing Evolution The XB-35 The YB-49 Disaster and Diminuendo Flying Wing Legacy Bibliography

Final week, DJI announced its latest quadcopter for business: the Phantom 4 RTK. This product marks a significant investment by DJI in the future of aerial mapping, and we couldn’t be more excited concerning the impact it can have on our community of drone operators.
While DJI ceaselessly releases new drone fashions each year, the Phantom 4 RTK isn’t your average drone. It’s a huge leap forward and will undoubtedly have a significant impact on aerial mapping for years to come. Why? The advent of a quadcopter with built-in RTK capabilities means highly accurate drone information is now accessible to anyone. And we’re happy to announce that Phantom 4 RTK data can be processed with DroneDeploy.
Till now, gathering highly accurate RTK drone data required a large hardware funding on your part. You both had to shell out upwards of $25,000 for a fixed-wing drone with built-in RTK, add an additional PPK kit to an current drone in your fleet, or create a customized RTK quadcopter.
Now you can buy a drone that comes ready to produce survey-grade maps off the shelf at a 3X discount to previous RTK systems. And it is suitable with the batteries and other equipment you already personal along with your Phantom four or Phantom 4 Pro.
The Phantom 4 RTK produces high-resolution drone maps (hi there, 20MP sensor!) and 3D measurements which are accurate within just a few centimeters — all without using ground control factors (GCPs). We had been able to test the Phantom four RTK in advance of its release, and our preliminary testing produced accurate measurements within 1–three centimeters in X&Y, and 5 centimeters in Z.
Not only will you gather more exact information, but your map exports from DroneDeploy will align perfectly to BIM fashions and different software. And while you evaluate maps over time, or side-by-side, every map will line up for more efficient comparisons. Why? Because each photograph location taken with the Phantom 4 RTK is successfully an aerial GCP. That’s an enormous win for professionals comparing job site progress, crops, and even measuring mixture stockpile volumes.
Earlier than the Phantom 4 RTK, if you happen to needed to make use of an entire RTK mapping system out of the box, it required a fixed-wing aircraft. While these are nice for some industrial uses, they are difficult to maneuver and fly in city and residential areas. If you want to inspect a building or take a quick survey of your site, you’d have been hard-pressed to take action safely with fixed-wing craft. With the Phantom 4 RTK you possibly can take off, hover, and land on a busy development site with ease, or inspect a roof in a residential neighborhood while avoiding timber and structures.

Among the pioneers of space exploration, one notable chapter involves the journey of Laika, a brave and pioneering canine who became the first living being to orbit the Earth. In this comprehensive article, we delve into the captivating story of Laika, shedding light on the circumstances, preparations, and legacy of the first animal to go to space.
The Space Race and the Birth of Cosmonauts:
The mid-20th century witnessed a fervent competition between the United States and the Soviet Union known as the Space Race. Both nations sought to demonstrate technological and scientific superiority, and space exploration became a symbol of national prestige. The era saw the launch of artificial satellites, humans into space, and even living beings, laying the foundation for future space endeavors.
The Soviet Union’s Bold Step:
In the midst of the Space Race, the Soviet Union embarked on an audacious mission to send a living being into space. The decision to launch an animal into orbit was driven by the need to understand the physiological and psychological effects of space travel on living organisms before risking human lives. It was a daring venture that marked a significant milestone in the history of space exploration.
Laika: The Canine Cosmonaut:
Chosen for her small size, calm demeanor, and adaptability, Laika, a stray dog from the streets of Moscow, was selected as the occupant of the spacecraft. The decision to send a dog into space was met with mixed emotions, sparking both admiration for the courage of the mission and concerns for the well-being of the animal. Laika was trained rigorously to acclimate to the conditions she would face during the space journey.
Sputnik 2: The Historic Mission:
On November 3, 1957, the Soviet Union launched Sputnik 2, a spacecraft designed to carry Laika into orbit. The mission aimed to gather valuable data on the effects of space travel, including the impact of weightlessness and cosmic radiation on a living organism. While Sputnik 1, launched a month earlier, was the first artificial satellite, Sputnik 2 marked the first instance of a living being venturing beyond Earth’s atmosphere.
The Journey into Space:
As Sputnik 2 soared into space, Laika experienced conditions that no living being had encountered before. She was equipped with sensors to monitor her vital signs, providing valuable insights into the physiological responses to space travel. However, the spacecraft lacked technology for a safe return to Earth, as the primary objective was to study the effects of space on a living organism.
The mission, although historic, was not without controversy and ethical concerns. At the time, technology for safely returning a living being from orbit had not been developed, and it was known that Laika’s journey would be one-way. The Soviet authorities initially claimed that Laika survived in orbit for several days, but later disclosures revealed that she perished a few hours after the launch due to overheating and stress.
The fate of Laika stirred public outcry and sparked discussions about the ethical treatment of animals in scientific experiments. Despite the controversy, Laika’s mission paved the way for future advancements in space exploration, leading to the development of life support systems and technologies that would eventually enable human space travel.
Legacy and Contributions to Space Exploration:
Laika’s sacrifice had a profound impact on the course of space exploration. The data collected during her mission contributed significantly to the understanding of the challenges posed by space travel on living organisms. The lessons learned from Laika’s journey played a crucial role in developing life support systems, ensuring the safety and well-being of future astronauts.
The pioneering mission of Laika also exemplified the dedication and determination of the Soviet space program. While her journey was a one-way trip, the knowledge gained from her mission laid the groundwork for subsequent space missions that aimed to explore the cosmos with a broader scope.
Commemorating Laika’s Legacy:
In recognition of her historic mission, Laika became an enduring symbol of courage and exploration. Her contribution to space science was commemorated through various tributes and memorials. In 2008, a monument featuring Laika was unveiled at Star City, the Russian cosmonaut training center, honoring her role as the first living being to journey into space.
Ethical Considerations and Modern Space Exploration:
The legacy of Laika’s mission prompted a reevaluation of ethical standards in animal experimentation. Subsequent space missions, particularly those involving animals, incorporated ethical guidelines and considerations for the well-being of the subjects. Advances in technology and a growing understanding of animal welfare have led to more humane practices in scientific research.
In modern space exploration, the focus has shifted to robotic missions and experiments that minimize the use of animals. The development of sophisticated robotic probes and artificial intelligence has allowed scientists to gather valuable data without subjecting living beings to the harsh conditions of space.
Laika’s journey into space remains a poignant chapter in the history of space exploration. Her mission, while controversial, contributed valuable insights that paved the way for future advancements in human space travel. | aerospace |

As demand for services continues to grow, investors and asset owners are concerned about rising operating costs and aspects related to profitability. In order to better understand aviation fixed base operation management, it is important to understand the role of FBOs [also known as fixed base operators]. In this article, we look at some basic aspects.
Understand the work of FBO
In simple terms, a fixed base operator [FBO] is an organization that has the necessary authority to provide core line services such as aircraft loading and unloading, hangars, and airport refueling. These companies are important because they keep general aviation operators alive. At small municipal airports and small commercial airports, the FBO manages almost everything related to the management of aviation fixed base operations.
Although airports can have any number of tenants, FBOs are often considered fixed tenants because they provide basic services, such as fuel and operation of general aviation passenger terminals. FBOs are usually the hub of events and exchanges at general aviation airports, while at commercial airports they are the hub of most non-commercial activities. FBO usually also provides auxiliary services related to terminal operations, including:
• Passenger lounge
• Flight planning and weather monitoring facilities
• Pilot lounge and rest / sleeping area
• Meeting room facilities
• Arrange meals for planes and other sundries such as coffee, drinks, reading materials, etc.
• Aircraft cleaning
• Deicing [if applicable]
• Arrange ground transportation
• other service
If they provide services beyond the handling of the aircraft, refueling and hangar core services are often classified as "full service".
With dynamic changes, outsourcing is a norm in almost any industry, as is aviation. Today, asset owners and financial institutions are driven by demand for efficiency and profitability. When an efficient team can provide a turnkey solution for outsourced management, they do not want to be bothered by the burden of managing non-core departments. Not only can outsourcing improve efficiency by using industry best practices, it can also greatly increase customer satisfaction.
Ask for help
There are several important factors to keep in mind if you are considering professional management of the aviation product portfolio. First and foremost, you need to make sure you have hired a team with the necessary direct experience to meet your needs. They should have prior experience in handling customers similar to yours, and they should have experience at airports of all sizes and types. Second, make sure that the company provides you with a detailed management plan tailored to meet your needs. Third, make sure the company can provide you with references that justify your previous work. This is the best way to ensure that you will reap the benefits of the experience you seek.
If you want to maximize the value of aviation assets, consider hiring a professional management company for your FBO management and aviation management needs. | aerospace |

Aerospace engineer David Graham and his three colleagues had a deadline, and a little brown tortoise was putting it in jeopardy. In a few hours, as . At first, we set the pitching machine to 45mph. We decided to up the velocity to 60mph ( m/s) because we wanted air friction to have a more substantial effect on the baseball’s trip through the air. Marking the exact spot of the landing wasn’t very difficult, as we had someone out in the landing area to see where it hit the turf.

The privately founded Hangar 2 is located at the International airport Paderborn/Lippstadt, in the heart of East Westphalia/Lippe approximately 90 kilometres east of Dortmund.
It is home of some rare aviation classics and also a popular attraction for enthusiast from all over the world.
Opened in 2014 the hangar with its 1400 square metres distinguishes not only due its modern architecture it offers also many amenities for aircraft owners and their flying machines.
To facilitate handling operations and protect the planes from damage during handling they park on a huge, electrically actuated rotary plate. The aircraft are ranked with the assistance of a radio-controlled robot.
Owners can also count on the help of an in-house mechanic for repairs and maintenance of their machines.
Furnished with a large kitchen, a stylish lounge and modern sanitary areas the Hangar II offers enough space for briefings, meetings, parties and many more.
This is why it is no surprise that the aircraft-parking-space has been sold out very quickly.
Therefore, the Hangar II is the home-base of several aviation classics. Four of them deserve a special mention:
A real eye-catcher is the highly polished Cessna 195 “Businessliner” which has been built in 1950. In 2014 this plane was the “overall winner” in the category “vintage-aircraft” at the Goodwood Festival of Speed.
Another highlight is a Beechcraft 50 Twin Bonanza from 1954. Equipped with two 265-horsepower engines and much space in the passenger cabin this type paved the way for the modern business aviation.
The Pilatus P3-05 “Brazil Lady” is painted in the colours of the Força Aéra Brasileira. However, this aircraft never visited South America, it was used by the Swiss Air Force only.
Since a few years Hangar II is the home of a very special guest: A wooden framed 1:1 replica of the famous Focke-Wulf 190. A group of aviation-enthusiasts is working hard to bring this beauty back to the sky.

The University of Windsor offers the AC561 Air Canada Flight Tracking and History course for the students. The total weight age of this course is twelve credit points. Air Canada is a flag carrier and Canada's largest airline in terms of fleet size and the number of passengers. Air Canada is headquartered in the Saint-Laurent district of Montreal, Quebec, Canada. Founded in 1937, the airline provides regular passenger and freight flights to 207 destinations around the world. Air Canada's major hub airports are located at Montreal Trudeau International Airport, Toronto Pearson International Airport, and Vancouver International Airport. Canada's state-owned airline was born in 1936 when the Federal Government of Canada founded Trans-Canada Air Line and began operating its first transcontinental routes in 1938. In 1965, with government approval, TCA was renamed Air Canada. The airline was privatized in 1988 after deregulation of the Canadian aviation market in the 1980s. On January 4, 2000, Air Canada acquired its major competitor, Canadian Airlines. This airline filed for bankruptcy protection In 2003, and the following year it appeared and was reorganized under the holding company ACE Aviation Holdings Inc. In 2017, Air Canada celebrated its 80th anniversary with 48 million passengers.
The objective of the AC561 Air Canada Flight Tracking and History course is to train the students regarding flight tracking. At the end of this course, they will be able to track the flight and understand the theoretical perspective of the air traffic tracking system. Learning and knowledge that the students will acquire from the AC561 assignments Air Canada Flight Tracking and History course will allow them to understand effective tools for air traffic tracking. They will be able to use the most appropriate tools and techniques to track the air traffic. The AC561 Air Canada Flight Tracking and History course will educate specifically about the AC561 Air Canada Flight, which move passengers from San Francisco to Vancouver. Flight tracking allows traveler and those who meet a flight to know if the flight has landed or is on schedule. For example, you can determine if it's time to go to the airport. The aircraft is equipped with an ADSB transponder that transmits information such as aircraft ID, GPS position, and altitude as radio signals. These radio transmissions are collected by a civilian ADSB receiver near the aircraft. Since these ADSB receivers can only collect information about flights within the radio range of their location, the collected data is typically sent to a central server that aggregates feeds from many individual receivers around the world. Flight Tracking can be integrated with Trip Management and Trip Tracking Services for further automation of Trip Software.
AC561 solutions This flight tracking application is still in its infancy but will grow significantly as the system interconnects. Despite advances, many sudden events, such as sudden weather changes, are not from the aircraft itself but from existing dispatch centers, which often do not know the actual condition of the aircraft. As a result, it might be problematic to track the plan by the tracking system. Flight Tracking Software can be used by private operators to track aircraft and monitor for deviations from the agreed flight path. In this case, a warning alert is generated to draw attention to the potential problem. The types of software available import and check world weather and NOTAM information and monitor for new issues that may affect flight.
This AC561 task answers educates the students about the history of Air Canada and its service over the years. In the early Nineteen Nineties, Air Canada encountered monetary problems because the airline enterprise slumped with inside the aftermath of the Persian Gulf War. In response, the airline restructured control with the aid of using hiring former Delta Air Lines government Hollis L. Harris as its CEO. Harris restructured the airline's operations, decreased control positions, moved the company headquarters to Dorsal Airport, and offered the commercial card enterprise to Diners Club in 1992. By 1994, Air Canada had again to profitability. The identical 12 months additionally noticed the service triumphing course get entry to fly from Canada to the brand-new Kansai Airport in Osaka, Japan.
In 1995, taking gain of a brand-new US-Canada open skies agreement, Air Canada introduced 30 new trans-border routes. In May 1997, Air Canada became a founding member of the Star Alliance, with the airline launching codeshares with numerous of the alliance's members. The 2nd 1/2 of the Nineteen Nineties noticed the airline earn regular profits, totalling $1 billion for the 1997 to 1999 period. On 2 September 1998, pilots for Air Canada released the enterprise's first pilots' strike, annoying better wages. At the give up of 1999, the Canadian authorities comfortable a number of the aviation regulations geared toward developing a consolidation of the Canadian airline enterprise. In that 12 months, American Airlines, at the side of Canadian monetary enterprise Onex Corp, released takeover bids for unwell rival Canadian Airlines and Air Canada, spurring Air Canada to post a competing provide for its biggest rival.
There are specific points or moments that are considered relevant throughout the development of the flight segment. These appropriate moments can be divided into specific types. They are either milestones reached or actions that depend on multiple attributes that need to be completed. In order to facilitate analysis, this course describes these milestones and actions, events, and processes. Therefore, an event can be defined as a business process-related update. Relevance can now be determined by business rules tailored to the specific needs of each airline. It is completely flexible and customization.
In this AC561assignments, students can use a specific approach to illustrate how to evaluate specific flight segments in real-time through specific defined events and processes. When tracking an aircraft, students need to take into account that some events are more relevant than others, such as delays, cancellations, or other irregularities. At the termination of this course, students will be able to track the flight, and while doing that, they will be able to use the knowledge that they acquired from the AC561 Air Canada Flight Tracking and History course.

As Videoman Dave and I scoured the show grounds looking for good stories, we spoke to a few vendors reporting that 2018 has been a good year. Our video news gathering exercise brought a pleasant discovery. Many companies are reporting a solid year of sales. The light aviation industry is composed of many small companies. None are corporations the size of Cessna or Cirrus so they don’t require hundreds of unit sales to break even. A U.S. importer delivering 20 aircraft can experience a good year from sales and other services they offer. When several companies report noteworthy sales success it suggests the market is healthy and customers are buying airplanes they want to enjoy. In parallel, the used LSA market also appears active and a virtuous circle begins to take form. The show itself enjoyed the great organization we have come to expect from director Jana Filip.

Business Around the GlobeWhile Traveller is their foray into NBAA's glittering world, Tecnam remains highly active in aircraft that readers of this website recognize. Tecnam has been busy this year; here are a few of their recent successes at delivering their light aircraft all around the globe. Greece — Hellenic Air Force Academy, based at an air base near Athens, is a unit of the Hellenic (Greek) Air Force. A recent delivery is the first of 12 Tecnam P2002JF trainers HAFA ordered. The Academy selected the Tecnam model as its next-generation screening/primary training aircraft. P2002JF is a two-seat, single-engine, low-wing aircraft powered by the Rotax 912 and fitted with the latest avionics from Garmin. Tecnam is familiar with supplying government air forces. In 2016 Tecnam delivered eight P2002JF aircraft to the Argentina Air Force. "This [South American] fleet has amassed a total of over 6,000 hours and performed 16,000 landings to date," noted Tecnam. ByDanJohnson.com readers know this model as the Sierra. Poland — Tecnam announced today that the Polish Medical Air Rescue (PMAR) has placed an order for three Tecnam P2008JC Mk II airplanes. PMAR is a very active organization using a fleet of aircraft to perform nearly 10,000 flights in the first eight months of this year alone. P2008JC is comprised of a carbon-fiber fuselage with metals wings and stabilator. "This combination of composite and metal resulted in a more fuel efficient and much quieter aircraft," said Tecnam. The MkII version of P2008JC features a number of significant enhancements including a new avionic suite with a refreshed interior design. Australia — This summer, Tecnam announced the sale of eight P2008 light sport aircraft training aircraft to Soar Aviation of Melbourne, Australia. Soar claims to be Australia’s largest private flying school with with over 500 students. It operates a fleet of 48 Rotax-powered training aircraft and has a team of 100 employees, including more 67 instructors. Soar has facilities at the Moorabbin Airport in Melbourne, Australia and at the Bankstown and Bendigo airports in Sydney, stated Tecnam. France — The same month as the Aussie sale, Tecnam said they took an order for four P2010 MkII four-seat aircraft from Air Paris Academy based at the Tours Airport. Tecnam describes their P Twenty Ten as "the first new single-engine, high-wing, four-seat aircraft from Tecnam that brings together an advanced technology all carbon fibre fuselage with a metal wing and stabilator." Just a month earlier, Tecnam announced that Australia's Civil Aviation Safety Authority and the Civil Aviation Authority of New Zealand validated the Tecnam P2010 based on the EASA Type Certificate including a 215 horsepower version of the Lycoming IO390-C3B6 powerplant. Tecnam's large portfolio of aircraft from LSA and sport aircraft to four seat GA aircraft to twin engine personal aircraft to the new 11-seat regional airliner makes for an active company rapidly growing to be one of the world's aviation powerhouses.
This week kicks off the truly gigantic trade show known by its sponsoring organization’s abbreviation: NBAA, or in common lingo, “Enn, Bee, Double A.” While not taking up the extensive terra firms of Oshkosh, NBAA actually has more paying exhibitors. They even tow aircraft down city streets in the dark of night so a reported 100 aircraft can be on display at the Orlando Civic Center. The show has become so large that supposedly only two U.S. convention centers are big enough to contain the sprawling affair: Las Vegas and Orlando. The latter is just down the street for me so every other year I go and look for something to report amidst my wandering around astonished at the sheer size of the event and how much money gets spent for a three-day show. I always find something of interest to the light aviation, recreational flying community. This year, I’m on the lookout for Tecnam, one of this website’s longtime sponsors and surely the largest company serving up Light-Sport Aircraft around the world.
Welcoming Steve Beste"I'm a retired computer guy and trike pilot who loves databases," Steve told me. He used his special set of skills to download FAA's aircraft registration database to compile statistics on gyroplane registrations, focused on the new European-style gyroplanes. As you can see, AutoGyro is the clear market leader at 52% with 163 aircraft of 312 gyroplanes registered with FAA. The German builder is trailed by Magni in the #2 slot at 18% with 56 registrations. A new American manufacturer, SilverLight Aviation, has quickly tied Spanish producer ELA for third at 8% with 26 aircraft registered for each. After that it trails off more quickly as Steve's chart shows. More details about other brands will be chronicled in an article to follow. For 2018 through July 23rd, Magni shows its strength by slightly beating AutoGyro U.S. registrations. As always, note that confirmed sales and registrations may not match precisely. In addition, much more of 2018 remains. In slightly more than half a year, gyroplanes registered 58 aircraft putting them on track to exceed 100 for the year. To offer perspective, this figure is approaching half as many as SLSA fixed wing registrations in recent full years. So far this year, Magni has 15 registrations to AutoGyro's 14 for 26% and 24% shares totaling half of total U.S. gyroplane registrations. SilverLight has registered 8 aircraft in 2018 for a 14% yearly share of 2018 to date. A less well recognized U.S. producer, Tango, is having a respectable year, with 9 registrations accounting for 16% in 2018 so far. Tango is trailed by ELA with 6 registrations (10%), Australia's Titanium and Italy's Brako tied at 3 for 5% each. One interesting point: only Tango and Brako offer a single place gyroplane; all others are two place machines.
Much More Data to Follow!Steve Beste and I have been discussing him providing database research to allow this website to continue providing LSA Market Share Info. Many visitors have written to ask; indeed, we are way behind on this effort. The delay is ending. After Steve gets time to study the previous work and methods, he has proposed some wonderful improvements. About the special skills he can offer, Steve wrote, "I'm a retired computer guy and trike pilot who loves databases." Well, that certainly sounds perfect to me. "I'm also the president of Flying Club 1, which was the original USUA Chapter 1," Steve added. "Regarding the FAA database, I'd very much like to reach beyond just [fixed wing] airplanes, partly because I'm a trike pilot, myself. I think that's entirely possible." Given this background, his obvious enthusiasm for this work, and the keen interest of many in light aviation, I am exceedingly pleased to welcome Steve to this website. "[However, FAA's] data is not clean," Steve observed. I am well aware of this problem. Uncertainty about data accuracy of "alternative" LSA is why we have reported fixed wing Special LSA, only offering guesses for weight shift trikes, powered parachutes, gyroplanes, motorgliders, and more. However, we hope that will now change and our market share reporting will be more inclusive. Hurray! Problems in FAA's database is not caused by incompetent clerks. Agency personnel must sort through inconsistently-reported aircraft. If, as Steve pointed out in one example, the registered name of the aircraft is slightly different, it won't show up on a casual investigation. He added, "There's no end of that kind of thing …just so we know the limitations on this exercise. But with that understanding, I love this kind of thing, I have the skills to do it, and would be honored to support your good work for the sport." All such reporting will be available on the home page when fresh and catalogued on its own space found by this link. Wonderful, simply wonderful! Please welcome Steve Beste as a new contributor to ByDanJohnson.com!
UPDATE September 26, 2018 — In the article above, I inadvertently suggested SilverLight and their American Ranger gyroplane was the first or only U.S. producer of such aircraft. That is not what I intended but some readers viewed it that way. Allow me to bring your attention to two other producers.
Sport Copter & Rotor Flight DynamicsBased in Oregon, Sport Copter is a long established, second-generation family business started in 1958. Chuck Vanek was one of the early pioneers of gyroplane design and development beginning his work in 1957. Chuck's son Jim Vanek took over the business and revamped the Vancraft designs. He said his "award-winning, world’s-first, two-place gyroplane took the prestigious Charles Lindbergh award at the Oshkosh airshow in 1985." The company also reports his Sport Copter II design was voted as one of the Top Ten Best Designs at AirVenture in 2011. An airshow performer, Jim said he wrote the parameters and guidelines for gyroplane looping for the FAA in 1998 after performing the world’s first loop in a conventional gyroplane, in 1997. The company's website reports, "He is the only gyro pilot in the world that holds an International Council of Air Shows card for gyroplane looping and rolling." Don't even think about trying this yourself, however. Rotor Flight Dynamics, founded and run by Ernie Boyette, produces a two place and single variations of their Dominator line. Sold as kit aircraft, the two-place model can be powered by Hirth four-cylinder engines, Subaru/AutoFlight EA-81, or the 115-horsepower Rotax 914 Turbo. The company said, "We offer 22 thru 28 foot rotor blades of our own design with a lift capability from ultralight thru 1,200 pounds gross weight." They added, "We are the only manufacturer that test flies all blade sets prior to shipping." For export, Rotor Flight will fully build their aircraft but in the USA, FAA will only permit them to deliver kits, the same as all gyroplane producers. As with all the modern gyroplanes, Rotor Flight uses a substantial tailplane. "The Dominator [series of one and two-place machines] incorporate the Tall Tail design for stability." Asked how their product differs, the company's website states, "What makes the Dominator so unique is its high profile design. It sits up very high off the ground."
Updated September 26, 2018 — This article has been updated to include more producers. See at bottom. —DJ Over many years, you have found LSA market share information on this website. Many have found this of interest …from businesses learning more about their market; to customers doing careful investigation before paying tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars for a new aircraft; to government fulfilling its task of regulating industry; to insurance companies assessing risk of providing their product; and many other actors in the blockbuster movie that is light, recreational aviation. I will have more to say about the broader LSA market share reports below but now I want to present the best information I have seen for Light-Sport Aircraft Gyroplanes. …uh, except for one problem. No such aircraft category exists, SLSA gyroplanes, that is. FAA has denied fully-built Special LSA status to rotary winged aircraft such as gyroplanes.
Tallying Tecnam's SuccessTecnam can claim more than 6,500 aircraft flying worldwide. The majority of this fleet are European-style ultralights and Light-Sport Aircraft. Of this large number of aircraft flying the P92 model counts for close to half the total. While the company has branched out to larger aircraft and specialty aircraft, they continue to develop and build aircraft that recreational pilots enjoy.
Hybrid Tecnam with Rotax and SiemensTecnam is a big buyer of Rotax engines as well as Lycomings but they are exploring hybrid electric propulsion as well and they are doing so in collaboration with some leading brands in the game.
In mid-May 2018, Tecnam announced a program the name of which only an engineer could love: H3PS (an acronym for “High Power High Scalability Aircraft Hybrid Powertrain”). The kick-off meeting took place in Capua (Italy), at Tecnam headquarters because the airframe maker is coordinating the project.R&D departments from Tecnam, Rotax, and Siemens are joining their experience to present an alternative propulsion system that they say "will dramatically reduce environmental impact of today’s General Aviation four seat aircraft."
Dual Approvals Down UnderTecnam announced recently that the Australian Civil Aviation Safety Authority and the Civil Aviation Authority of New Zealand validated Tecnam’s four seat P2010 based on the company’s EASA type certificate using the 215 horsepower version of the Lycoming IO-390 engine. Tecnam is one of handful of manufacturers able and capable to produce Type Certified aircraft using both metal and composite components. P2010 employs an all-carbon-fiber fuselage with metal wings and stabilator. To serve down-under customers, Tecnam established a corporate presence in Australia last fall, mimicking the effort made in the company’s Sebring, Florida operation to support U.S. sales and service. Active globally, Tecnam is also pursuing other markets for their Light-Sport Aircraft, or in Canada's description, Advanced Ultralights. Here's our article on the company success with America's northern neighbor. Tecnam models are sold and serviced in more than 65 countries.
Picture PlatformTecnam also recently announced EASA and FAA certification approval for the Leica CityMapper installation on the P2006T SMP. The Leica CityMapper is specifically designed for 3D city modelling and urban mapping. It is the world’s first hybrid airborne sensor combining both oblique and nadir imaging as well as a LiDAR system. Tecnam has a large staff to accomplish these diverse projects while building as many as four aircraft a week. Even with many employees, however, this is a impressive penetration of all aviation's nooks and crannies.
The big Italian company that LSA enthusiasts know very well through models such as P92, Sierra, and P2008 has a large and growing presence in global aviation. Their developments are broad and delve into aviation segments large and small. They are also getting ready to celebrate a benchmark birthday. This year Tecnam Costruzioni Aeronautiche — most pilots simply say “Tecnam” — will celebrate its 70th birthday. Born in 1948, the company has changed names but the Pascale brothers kicked off their flying enterprise with the original Astore in 1948. If you are a Tecnam fan, you probably recognize Astore as one of their newest LSA models. Here’s our video with Tecnam boss Paolo Pascale celebrating what was then their 65th birthday, which they honored by releasing their most luxurious LSA so far …naming it after the brothers’ first airplane. Paolo is the current director of Tecnam but he follows in the shoes of one of the founding brothers, “Uncle Luigi” (Professor Luigi “Gino” Pascale).
First Impressions of 915iSI flew in each aircraft with Rotax's Christian Sixt, an American flight school-trained pilot with an impressive list of FAA certificates. Naturally, he is also intimate with the 915iS. Starting was as with any Rotax 9-series engine I’ve ever flown. Immediately the engine burst to life. One difference from prior experience was the “Stock Box” instrument (more formally, Stock Flight Systems Engine Monitoring Unit or EMU) developed by Michael Stock in collaboration with Rotax. Michael is the key man behind the Aerotech/Rotax/Searey/MT Prop project to develop and refine a single lever control for light aircraft (see our video explaining this, or read our article). The Stock Box proved most helpful in observing many factors about the new engine. As you can see in the nearby images, it provides, among other information, a percentage of throttle, fuel burn, and engine revolutions plus prop speed expressed via manifold pressure. If the latter is not familiar to you, don’t worry about the detail for now but see an important point below*. Soon after advancing the throttle, I noticed greater acceleration but two other parameters were more obvious. The climb angle seemed vigorously steep, although this was my first experience in an Aquila aircraft so I had no basis of comparison. Nothing like a 40% boost in power to launch an aircraft into the sky. As the fast car guys say, "Speed costs money. How fast do you want to go?" Fuel consumption was higher than I expected, but speed was also higher. To get below 3 gph, a surprisingly low consumption rate, speed dropped below 100 knots true or 85 indicated. When zipping along faster than 170 miles an hour true, consumption rose to the 7-9 gph range. The 915iS fuel injected, turbocharged, and intercooled engine can produce 141 horsepower for five minutes, then sustain 135 horsepower indefinitely. Once at altitude, Christian demonstrated use of the throttle and prop controls — this was not a single lever control airplane — to adjust for speed or economy. As you can see in the contrasting Stock Box images, we saw as low as 2.8 gallons per hour resulting, of course, in lower speed flight. Christian demonstrated that you can move the throttle and prop control without my experience of adjusting each very cautiously and slowly. Christian jockeyed them around liberally without detriment. A key reason this is possible is because of liquid cooling versus my older experience in air-cooled legacy engines, for example, in a Cessna 182 Skylane. A fellow aviation journalist — a pilot of 300 different aircraft — Dave Unwin felt the 915 started "softer." He also felt it seemed to run slightly smoother. Rotax engine experts felt most of this is attributable to software and the same code can also be applied to the 912iS.
Compared to the 912iSRotax aircraft engine manager Marc Becker arranged a second flight with Christian, this time in a Diamond Katana powered by a Rotax 912iS. While from different manufacturers the two airframes I tested were more alike than different. Although I loved the power of the 915iS with its shortened takeoff roll, thrilling climb to altitude, low-speed fuel economy, and quiet running, the 912iS is more my kind of engine. It was still powerful. Climb was 1,000 fpm. It has proven reliability. Mainly, though, I felt the 912iS engine is better suited to the light aircraft I cover on this website. To me, the 915iS is better suited to larger (heavier) aircraft or those serving particular missions, such as LSA seaplanes or aircraft operating from high elevation fields. In flying the 915iS I revisited the task of managing throttle and prop controls. I have constant speed prop time, a fair bit of it, but that was some years in my past. What the refreshed experience told me is that FAA was right to say this is unnecessarily complex for recreational pilots. While not especially hard — you can hardly get in trouble with such equipment on a modern, liquid-cooled Rotax — you nonetheless have to fiddle with levers and knobs, and keep an eye on instruments. It is more than most sport pilots may prefer and more than some should manage perhaps. Hence the push for single lever control, a simpler way to handle in-flight prop control. Experienced pilots may prefer the control implied by working the levers just as some drivers prefer a stick shift car to an automatic transmission. For everyone else simplicity is probably best. Now a few years after the 912iS was released, it has become a well refined engine, IF it is installed according to Rotax’s manual and instructions. Yet for those who yearn for more power or are building an aircraft of higher capabilities, the 915iS is going to be a welcome powerplant. It does come with a few costs, as did the 912iS fuel injected engine compared to the 912ULS carbureted engine. Marc Becker summarized, "The 915iS is about 12 kilos (26 pounds) more for the engine only; 40-50 more pounds when installed and about €3,000 ($3,750 at today's exchange rates) more than the 914." It is significantly more than the 912iS, as you should expect for an engine with substantially more power and the ability to use that power up to higher altitudes. Fuel needs of both 915iS and 912iS are essentially the same. Thomas Uhr, head of Rotax's Austria plant and a longtime engine expert and enthusiast — and also a pilot — advises the highest octane auto fuel, preferably without alcohol, to get the most power and best results. He also explained that (perhaps surprisingly to some readers) the 915iS compression ratio is lower to allow for the turbo boost. "Stress is actually a little less therefore with the turbo engine," he said. Rotax's 915iS uses the same displacement as the 912iS. In a weight-to-power comparison — grams per kilowatt hour — fuel consumption is only about 6% higher in the more powerful engine.
Entering the MarketMarc indicated that 200 915iS engines have been delivered into the Rotax network including distributors around the globe. Of these, "120 are now with end customers," he noted. "About 20 different airframes are flying today." Some 46 different manufacturers are working to prepare the new powerplant. "Our expectation is to have 400 engines out in the field by year end," Marc added. * On the point about an in-flight adjustable or constant speed prop, Rotax Aircraft Engines top boss Thomas Uhr made an important statement when I asked about fixed pitch props on the 915, “All our engines can use fixed pitch props.” As a leader of a public company, he spoke carefully, but the suggestion was clear: Yes, a fixed pitch 915iS is coming, although today the engine is only driving an in-flight adjustable prop.
April has been busy… starting with a week of Sun ‘n Fun; then a gathering of LSA seaplanes at my home airport the day after; followed by three days of Aero Friedrichshafen in Germany (it runs four days but I had to miss the first); concluding with a journalists-only event at Rotax Aircraft Engines. As a result, my posts to this website may be out of date order but the good news… I have lots to report. I will cover many aircraft stories, but allow me to take the most recent first: flying the brand-new Rotax 915iS and comparing it to the 912iS, although not in the same airframe. Other than official Rotax pilots and select airframe builders, we were among the first to experience the powerful new engine from the world’s leading producer of engines for light aircraft. First Impressions of 915iS I flew in each aircraft with Rotax’s Christian Sixt, an American flight school-trained pilot with an impressive list of FAA certificates.
Yes, yes, I know — in-flight adjustable props are not permitted on U.S. Light-Sport Aircraft by regulation. They are allowed in many other countries, such as most of Europe, but not in America …well, yet at least. A new investigation with FAA regarding the safety possibilities — and very simple operation — of such equipment has the federal agency at least considering a way it could be introduced to Yankee pilots. That’s great news and we commend the FAA for listening. We referred the following video to agency executives so they can see how the idea works: a single throttle-like lever that not only affects engine speed but also prop pitch adjustment, without the pilot having to do anything more than specify what he or she desires by the position of that single lever control. Learn the details in this video.
Sky Arrow Aircraft (USA)Marco Cavazzoni, long associated with Boeing, told me at AirVenture 2017 that a big change was underway. Now I have fresh info and the plan is coming to fruition. Sky Arrow has long been well represented by Hansen Air Group. The Atlanta-based importer introduced Americans to the composite aircraft and has sold to and supported the U.S. buyers of this handsome and very well flying aircraft. Now, Sky Arrow USA is a company that is a subsidiary of Magnaghi ("Mag-NAH-hee"), the large Italian company that took over after the previous producer — using an Italian name often shorted to III or Triple-I for easier English-speaker reference — got into financial trouble. Magnaghi earns its main income producing complex assemblies such as landing gear legs and wheels for airliners. To such a large company, Sky Arrow must seem a hobby project but it is one they are serious about as the plane has many possibilities. Sky Arrow won its LSA acceptance by FAA (arranged by the Hansen team), but another variant has Part 23 approval due to a policy called reciprocity where a foreign certification can be accepted by FAA. This gives Sky Arrow USA many possibilities for commercial use of the aircraft and their website reflects these ambitions. Marco is the U.S. man that will run the U.S. operation for Magnaghi as he and his team work to set up full manufacturing in the USA. This is underway now. To learn more as they prepare for full activity, call 855-4-FlySky or send an email. When editing can be finished, we recorded a video with Marco in which he explains the plans more fully.
Aeroeast USA and Discovery 600At the 25th anniversary of the Rotax 912 engine, at a fine event the big Austrian company organized at their home airfield, I had a chance to fly an airplane Americans do not know. This was the Sila 450 and I flew with company boss, Matic “Mago” Milorad. Here's the article I wrote. I described this experience but soon thereafter I was called to account for allegedly trampling on the rights of a Columbian designer who claimed the Serbian company had no right to produce it. At Sun 'n Fun 2018, I was shown documents and photos that appear to show contracts were properly executed. I am not a lawyer but it certainly looks like my earlier apology may have been in error. All that aside, the original claim is mostly irrelevant as many changes have been made to the airplane now known as the Discovery 600. The American-specific Discovery 600 (the original model was the Sila 450, though it has changed a lot in four years) will be headquartered in Portage Indiana under the name Aero East USA. Flight activities will occur at the nearby Valparaiso airport. U.S. operations will be run by Danny Labovic, a 50% partner with Milorad in the new venture. We interviewed Danny and Mago in Lakeland. Initial production will be mostly done in Serbia, but as the U.S. operation gears up, raw materials such as aluminum sheet that have come from American sources will be partially prepared in the U.S., sent to Serbia for labor-intensive work by Serbians, and returned to American for final assembly and fitting of components such as avionics and engines that come from still other countries, including the USA. Though this may sound complex, it is very similar to what Boeing and Airbus do as they build airlines. It works for small companies, too. I expect to report more on both projects — Sky Arrow and Discovery 600 — as they progress but our videos will fill in gaps in the meantime. Whatever way these projects evolve, it is interesting to see manufacturing come to American shores. Mr. Trump may be smiling, but much more important is the satisfaction of American pilots who will be given more aircraft choices. Welcome to more of a famous label… Made in the USA.
When most pilots think of imports, they assume a foreign manufacturer builds an aircraft in another country, finds a U.S. representative, and sends their product here. That’s certainly the standard practice. For years, especially after the fall of Communism and the opening of Eastern European nations, rates of pay for highly qualified workers was so low that building in America was considered by many to be noncompetitive. Slowly, though, the situation has changed and now American production makes more sense, at least when the company intends to sell to Yankee pilots. At Sun ‘n Fun 2018 I uncovered two new projects; one about which I had some knowledge, another that surprised me. Sky Arrow Aircraft (USA) Marco Cavazzoni, long associated with Boeing, told me at AirVenture 2017 that a big change was underway. Now I have fresh info and the plan is coming to fruition. Sky Arrow has long been well represented by Hansen Air Group.
What Sets Apart Rotorvox?Structurally, the C2A is largely carbon-fiber monocoque construction. This is notably different than the majority of smooth-looking gyroplanes. Most are steel structure with a composite pod. Rotorvox's fuselage is also engineered to provide a protective cell for the occupants. A few other side-by-side seating gyroplanes are on the market, including Cavalon from AutoGyro, the far and away market leader. Rotorvox's version employs the carbon structure to provide such seating, which means it can double as a very inexpensive air ambulance. Entry is also different with a forward-hinged, three-piece canopy. Above the occupants, you see a faired pylon that supports a two-blade aluminium rotor pushed by a Rotax 914 turbocharged engine swinging a three-blade prop. As with nearly all modern gyroplanes, Rotorvox's rotor offers hydraulic pre-rotation before takeoff. Another big departure from most gyroplanes are flat-sided tail booms separated from the fuselage on lateral structures. Each boom supports a tapered fin and rudder with ventral fins. C2A has a short-legged, wide track tricycle undercarriage that should aid ground stability. The main gear uses trailing link main gear with elastomer shock absorption. Rotorvox reports two prototypes were flown during five years of development before C2A deliveries began in October 2014.

Besides LSA seaplanes, one area of furious development (and sales) is gyroplanes, the term modern industry prefers to “gyrocopter,” which was actually a branded name used since the days of Igor Benson. A new player, arriving on the scene about five years ago, is Rotorvox. Americans have not seen this aircraft but will soon get an opportunity at Sun ‘n Fun 2018 at Booth #30 in Paradise City. Demonstration flights will occur throughout the week. What Sets Apart Rotorvox? Structurally, the C2A is largely carbon-fiber monocoque construction.

Flying 915iSWe've reported that several airframe manufacturers — "OEMs" in Rotax's preferred language — have been flying with the newest engine from market-leading Rotax. Enthusiasm for the 915iS is broad. The rollout of this engine was carefully planned by Rotax to ensure good end-customer experiences. As the powerplant has added complexity with the turbo charger and intercooler and carries a higher price tag, good preparation is essential.
Bryan enthusiastically reported, "I had a recent opportunity to fly with the 915is on Rotax guru, Ronnie Smith's Rans S-7 that he is testing. I was very impressed!" Ronnie, proprietor of South Mississippi Light Aircraft has been a Rotax expert for many years and you can often see him and his signature smile — and his Mississippi drawl — in the Rotax booth just inside the main entrance at Sun 'n Fun.
Bryan is likewise doing his job as head of operations for CPS. "I was also able to visit the factory in October 2017 to do some training on the new engine." I am very pleased with the design and performance it offers."So keen is his approval that Bryan added, "I am sure within the next few months one of these beautiful wooden crates will be arriving with my name on it." Can you feel his smile? For pilots, builders, or repair shops interested in information on the 915is, or for those ready to place an order please visit the California Power Systems website, or call 800-247-9653.
As the 2018 flying season launches, a long-awaited powerplant from Rotax Aircraft Engines is beginning to arrive in the USA and to be shipped on to customers for installation. Pilots and builders seeking more power can welcome the Rotax 915iS fuel-injected, turbo-charged, intercooler-equipped 135-horsepower engine. Talk about a kick in the pants! The engine recently won certification for use on aircraft where such approvals are valuable. “California Power Systems is proud to announce the first customer delivery of a Rotax 915iS going to Mark and Alina Pringle of Rocky Mountain Kit Planes to install in a Rans S-21 Outbound,” reported Bryan Toepfer, operations manager of CPS, an enterprise related to mail order behemoth, Aircraft Spruce. “We have another one shipping today for a customer building a Just Aircraft SuperSTOL,” Bryan noted. He continued, “Two more are on the way from Rotax in Austria to be installed in a couple of gyros.” According to California Power Systems — a major supplier and service organization for Rotax — customer demand has been high.
Very Light to Very HeavyTalk about your short takeoff… I just witnessed the successful launch of the SpaceX Falcon Heavy launch, a test flight aiming to transport a Tesla Roadster to Mars. Because I live near Daytona Beach, Florida, I often get to observe rocket launches live. Sheesh! These two accomplishments could hardly be further apart and I don't mean geographically. The space geek in me is always drawn outside to my back yard to get a wonderful view of a launch. I've been privileged to see many, including all the final Space Shuttle launches. With my neighbors who live on the 12th fairway of the golf course at Spruce Creek Fly In, we stood on a pleasantly warm day to see this ground-breaking launch. While we could not see the return of all three rockets, they landed successfully, two on terra firma and one on SpaceX's barge at sea. Because we are about 50 miles away, the sound of these (count 'em) 27 rocket motors traveled to Daytona in about four minutes. The rumbling from those huge motors throbbed on and on, longer than any launch I can remember. The winds need to be rather calm for the sound to travel this far and today we got lucky. Cool! Go private space companies like SpaceX, Blue Origin, and others. I'm a NASA fan, too, but I want to see these private enterprises take the baton and race outward to the planets …and it's happening. I just hope that Tesla can find a parking spot when it gets to Mars orbit. https://youtu.be/RSc__x0rO9k https://youtu.be/Tk338VXcb24
Sebastien Heintz of Zenith Aircraft in Mexico, Missouri is one of the more vigorous promoters in light aviation. He and his 25-year-old company are all over social media and advertise in big magazines. This week his news came from about as far away as possible, from way down under in New Zealand. “A Zenith STOL, expertly piloted by Deane Philip, was the winner of the New Zealand Bush Pilot Championships in Omaka, New Zealand, on Saturday, February 3, 2017,” reported Sebastien. Deane won with a take-off distance of just 12.6 meters (41.3 feet) and a landing roll of 14.7 meters (48.2 feet). See the video below. By any measure, that is very, very short. “Another Zenith STOL aircraft, piloted by Chris Anderson, took second place,” bragged Sebastien. In third place was a Rans S6 for third place in the Sport Pilot (under 1,325 pound) category. Deane’s STOL CH 701 is powered by a 130-horsepower Viking engine.
See Merlin at Sebring 2018.Two HKS-powered Merlins will be at Sebring, Aeromarine LSA reported. “We will bring a Merlin from our build program that isn’t yet 100% completed,” said Chip. "That will give people a chance to see how easy it is to build their own Merlin.” The fully enclosed Merlin claims to be one of the quickest-build 51% kits available. I went to observe a customer building his own Merlin to see how easy and quick it really was. I came away suitably impressed. "So complete and builder-ready is the Quick Build Kit that most major assemblies and skins are already tacked into position for shipping (using colored soft rivets)," Chip explained, "requiring the builder to actually do some disassembly to bring it to the 51% stage." “There is no 'Slow Build' option,” deadpanned Erwin in his characteristic humor. “Precision matched-hole technology means that the holes punched are not just pilot holes; the accuracy is so high that holes in the skins match the holes in the ribs and bulkheads at final size, so next to zero drilling is required," Chip said. "This precision saves dozens if not hundreds of assembly time hours.” My own eyes proved to me that this precision matched-hole technology works as advertised. The all-metal Merlin PSA is presently flying in several European countries and in the USA today powered with both the more economical Rotax 582 and the HKS powerplant. Merlin PSA quick-build kits with the HKS are now being delivered in the USA with delivery positions available for delivery this spring, Aeromarine LSA reports; some slots remain for the Builders’ Center, as well. The kit (without engine, instruments, and paint) has an introductory price of only $16,500. Depending on engine, BRS, and panel options, completed and painted aircraft cost from $35,000 to $50,000. That's quite affordable by most budgets.
Along with many others, I’m sure, I’m presently en route from Daytona Beach to Sebring, Florida as the 2018 or 14th running of the U.S. Sport Aviation Expo is about to begin. It opens tomorrow, January 24th. By the way, it’s 82 degrees today and the forecast looks reasonably good. C’mon down! Fresh news is breaking about the first flights of the HKS 700E-powered Merlin PSA from Aeromarine LSA. Reporting from Lakeland, Florida yesterday, Aeromarine LSA boss Chip Erwin observed, “[Merlin with HKS is] remarkable, the difference in the feel of the airplane.” Chip’s single seater is proving increasingly popular as he logs sales for his one-seater Merlin PSA (Personal Sport Aircraft). Having flown a number of airplanes with the smooth-running, throaty-sounding, fuel-efficient HKS, I predict continued good fortune for Aeromarine LSA. So many pilots prefer a four-stroke to a two-stroke, that — right or wrong — I imagine the Japanese engine could accelerate sales.
What a great Christmas present for the Rotax Aircraft Engine team members (lower photo). The latest powerplant from the Austrian company that supplies a large majority of the powerplants for aircraft covered on this website will soon become available. The company announced from their headquarters in Gunskirchen, Austria that on December 19th, 2017, they received a European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) Type Certificate (TC) for its new Rotax 915 iSc3 engine. Some companies, such as BRM Aero, have been testing the new advanced, fuel injected, intercooled engine. It is the most powerful model ever for light aircraft from Rotax. All airframe makers will probably be surprised that the final version yields even more power. “The EASA TC allows BRP-Rotax to [begin] producing the certified 915 iSc3 A engine for the European market thus allowing us to fulfill the request of our customers for a more powerful Rotax aircraft engine with proven reliability,” said Thomas Uhr, general manager BRP- Rotax, vice president Powertrain BRP.
In the late ’90s, an earlier iteration of Remos Aircraft delivered their first aircraft, a G-3 Mirage, originally designed by the very talented Lorenz Kreitmeyer. That was twenty years ago. Recently, the Pasewalk, Germany company delivered serial number 450. Susanne and Harmut Lang, the new owners of the GXNXT — known as a GXnXES in the United States — took possession at their aircraft after it was flown to Bremgarten in southern Germany by Remos engineer Paul Foltz. The Lang’s new GXNXT is equipped with the latest avionics by Dynon and Garmin. Upon receipt of the aircraft, Harmut Lang said: “The Remos GXNXT suits our needs perfectly [and] the flight characteristics are amazing and the quality of this aircraft is well known.” If you are confused by the model name, that could be because attention has been focused on the GXiS model that won European ultralight approval recently. Even more recently, the company made news regarding its new owner, Stemme Aircraft.
- Maximum Cruise: 280 km/h — 175 mph — 152 knots
- Eco (lower fuel consuming) Cruise: 260 km/h — 163 mph — 141 knots
- Fuel Burn in Eco mode: 23 liters/hour — 6 gallons per hour
- Fuel Translation: 27.16 statute miles per gallon at 163 mph
Surely all readers know that Rotax-brand engines dominate the light aircraft landscape. The company owns something like 75% or more of the global market and close to that in the USA. Some worthy competitors are keeping the pressure on, but Rotax continues forward. The engine-to-follow is their new turbo-intercooler-fuel injected 135-horsepower 915 iS variant. Rotax Aircraft Engines first announced this new model at AirVenture 2015; see our video interview for details and go to the official 915 iS page for even more. In the press conference where the engine was unveiled, many in the standing-room-only audience were airframe manufacturers. As soon as the management and engineering team was done presenting, they quickly swarmed over the powerplant. You could almost see the wheels turning in their minds as they contemplated how they could fit and use this machine in their aircraft. That was almost two years ago — AirVenture Oshkosh is only about 75 days away!
KLA-100 FeaturesLong-span slotted flaps feature another proprietary airfoil developed in South Korea to slow the KLA-100 for low landing speeds and gentle stalls. The companies reported that wide chord ailerons allowed precise control and minimal adverse yaw. The blended winglets round out the wing tips and reduce drag, increase climb and give the KLA-100 a distinctive ramp presence. KLA-100 is powered by 100 horsepower (74 KW) from a fuel injected Rotax 912iS. The panel holds a Garmin G3X avionics suite combined with a Garmin GTN-650 MFD, Garmin GTX-335 Mode ES ADS-B out transponder, and optional Garmin two axis autopilot. A Stratos Magnum 601 advanced AEPS rescue system is integrated into the airframe. Flight Design and the Vessel employed modern construction techniques. The cockpit’s carbon-aramid composite safety cell helps to protect the occupants. The engine mount and carbon fuselage attach points reduce the possibility of engine intrusion into the occupant's safety cell. For more details, see this earlier article. For more information visit Flight Design or Vessel.
Recently, Vessel Co., Ltd., and Flight Design made a joint announcement after debuting their new KLA-100 low-wing, light aircraft at Aero Friedrichshafen 2017. Few expected this from the make of the very popular CT-series most recently including the CTLSi. Through 2016, this has been the most popular Special LSA in America. The companies’ KLA-100 development program started quietly two years ago. “The first flight was performed in Sumperk, Czech Republic in late March 2017 with test pilot Richard Ponizil at the controls. Since that time the plane has made seven more flights and met all expectations,” said Flight Design COO, Daniel Gunther. KLA-100 is a brand new design destined to be certified as a Light Sport Aircraft for sale in countries that accept ASTM-compliant aircraft, with plans to meet the European EASA’s CS-LSA regulation. The companies think this will allow access to virtually every major aviation market in the world.
Could Light-Sport Aircraft, light kit aircraft, and even ultralights benefit from in-flight adjustable propellers? After more testing and data collection answering that question should be easier. Prominently displayed in front of the Rotax Aircraft Engines exhibit at Sun ‘n Fun — right at the main entrance to the large spring show — was a strikingly-painted Searey kit-built aircraft (photo). Why? The mission was to showcase how a Rotax-powered amphibian aircraft can get more push… without complexity. Named Searey ATD, Advanced Technology Demonstrator, the collaborators include Progressive Aerodyne, producer of the Searey, Rotax Aircraft Engines, and MT Propeller, all coordinated by key developer, RS Aerotech of Nassau, Bahamas. A joint news release said, “For the first time in the Light-Sport Aircraft category*, Searey ATD offers a single-lever operated constant speed propeller, which significantly improves performance and dramatically reduces power management complexity for the pilot.” Searey ATD “will be used for long-time testing of new engines, propellers, and electronic systems.” To serve this goal, Searey ATD has been equipped with a state-of-the-art flight data acquisition and reporting system, which combines engine data with aircraft and navigation data.” Called a “first time” accomplishment, Searey ATD can “automatically transmit its engine and aircraft data via LTE networks worldwide.” The data “will be used by Rotax to perform engine health monitoring” similar to what airlines do globally.
Rotax makes high power-to-weight ratio powerplants that fit in smaller cowlings. Liquid cooling addresses the challenges of keeping motors from overheating, especially in those in tighter engine compartments. Rotax engines are modern and they keep updating them. They can produce in higher volumes than some competitors, have highly regarded quality control, and their testing facility is state-of-the-art. These reasons and more explain the estimate 75% or higher market share the Austrian company enjoys.
The Austrian engine maker said that during Sun 'n Fun 2017 the Rotax Flying and Safety Club (RFSC) and BRP-Rotax will offer information sessions conducted by experienced RFSC instructors.
The special workshops are addressed to those who would like to learn more about Rotax aircraft engines in general and about the 100-horsepower Rotax 912 iS Sport aircraft engine installation in particular.
"Three different types of information sessions will be offered at booth SE15 near the main entrance gate," said a Rotax spokesperson. Throughout the week Sun 'n Fun attendees can register to attend one of the RFSC sessions right at the company's booth, however, they note seating is limited so they recommend interested parties reserve space early.An "Introduction of Rotax Aircraft Engines Familiarization Training" session is offered Tuesday (April 4th) to Saturday (April 8th) from 10:00 to 11:00 AM. This is available for everyone interested in the Rotax product line and it is free of charge.
On Tuesday to Friday from 1:00 to 2:00 PM, kit builders or aircraft developers considering use of the newer fuel-injected Rotax 912 iS Sport engine can attend the "Rotax 912iS Installation Information" session. This session is also free.
Professionals who work on Rotax engines for compensation can take a "RFSC independent Rotax Maintenance Technician (iRMT) Renewal Course" on Thursday April 6th from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM. RFSC will cover Rotax 2-stroke maintenance tips.
Further workshops related to Rotax engines will be offered by Lockwood Aviation at Paradise City's forums area. Lockwood will present two iRMT Renewal Courses.
The first will be Wednesday April 5th from 10:30 to 11:45 AM covering "Rotax 2-stroke engine maintenance tips" while the second occurs on Thursday, April 6th from 10:30 to 11:45 AM covering "Rotax 912 / 914 service & operating tips." For these iRMT Renewal Courses please contact Lockwood Aviation at 863-655-5100.
At the same time as Sun 'n Fun is ongoing, the Aero Friedrichshafen's 25th anniversary 2017 event will be held in the picturesque town in the far south of Germany. Rotax will also offer training at this event.
Sessions are scheduled for Wednesday and Friday (5 and 7 April) from 1300 to 1500 offered in English; and on Thursday and Saturday (6 and 8 April) from 1300 to 1500 offered in German. All sessions are held in Room Schwarzwald."During these special training sessions the attendees will gain fascinating insights into the world of Rotax Aircraft Engines and the newest engine development, the Rotax 915 iS," said Rotax. This is their newest engine, a 135-horsepower variant of the 9-series engines and it will be on display on some LSA or LSA-like aircraft at the big German show. Interest should be keen for news about this highly-awaited powerplant.
Rotax is a major player in aircraft engines and the dominant producer for light aircraft. "With more than 175,000 engines sold in 40 years, Rotax aircraft engines lead the Light-Sport and ultralight aircraft market." The Austrian company has 19 authorized distributors and a network of more than 220 points of sale and repair centers supporting customers worldwide. "Rotax aircraft engines are supplied to more than 80% of all aircraft manufacturers in its segment," said the company's spokesperson.
Rotax also announced a new owner registration system. Why might this be important to operators of Rotax engines in the majority of LSA and many light kit aircraft?
"This new paperless engine registration process offers various advantages for Rotax aircraft engine owners," said the company. They listed three worthy reasons: (1) Rotax wants to know their customers and how their engines are operated; (2) customers who opt-in receive newsletters and new technical documentation directly from the manufacturer; and, (3) "In case of a reported engine theft, re-registration of this engine will be impossible." That might not get a stolen engine back but it may help deter theft in the first place.
Convinced? You should be. Go here to register.
How is it that Rotax so dominates the supply of engines to light aircraft? Many reasons might be cited but one is the superlative training they offer. For 2017, the company is going even further, now offering essential training opportunities to the legions who attend airshows in both the USA and Europe. Rotax makes high power-to-weight ratio powerplants that fit in smaller cowlings. Liquid cooling addresses the challenges of keeping motors from overheating, especially in those in tighter engine compartments. Rotax engines are modern and they keep updating them. They can produce in higher volumes than some competitors, have highly regarded quality control, and their testing facility is state-of-the-art. These reasons and more explain the estimate 75% or higher market share the Austrian company enjoys. The Austrian engine maker said that during Sun ‘n Fun 2017 the Rotax Flying and Safety Club (RFSC) and BRP-Rotax will offer information sessions conducted by experienced RFSC instructors.
Rotax Maintenance Classes — If you are a professional or wanna-be pro in the maintenance or overhaul of Rotax engines, you must take factory-approved training. You have choices in such training by recently California Power Systems announced a series of classes. • Rotax 2-Stroke Service Course is for technicians wanting to rebuild or maintain all water-cooled and air-cooled 2-stroke Rotax aircraft engines.

So, here's three aircraft you haven't seen before AirVenture 2016 plus a revised project involving an increasingly popular engine. I'll start off with a famous guy checking out a famous engine to propel one of my favorite airplanes. We begin our quick review with Lockwood Aircraft's AirCam.
Of course, you know his face. When I once heard Harrison Ford speak, he said modestly (paraphrased), "I earn a living making faces." I never thought of acting in such simple terms, but I accept such skills are part of the job. He's made faces successfully enough in many movies to be able to afford several fun airplanes and now he's getting into an AirCam. Developer/manufacturer Phil Lockwood said, "We were keeping a low profile to preserve [Harrison's] privacy but the cat is out of the bag now." As an AirCam fan myself, I predict Ford's facial repertoire will frequently include a broad smile.The newest and perhaps most unexpected aircraft at the show was SkyCruiser offered in the USA by U.S. Sport Aircraft based in Texas. This U.S importer has long represented Czech Sport Aircraft's SportCruiser, which has ranked up high on our market share report for years. Literature for the new model makes no mention of CSA, instead referring to Czech 4 Sky. Nevertheless, U.S. Sport Aircraft boss, Patrick Arnzen indicated he would bring in the new model from CSA.
In this article I am covering aircraft that seem to be pushing the envelope but a sign of maturity in the LSA segment shows developments in all directions. One of those is a return to simpler, easy-to-fly aircraft. Looking somewhat like another very successful design, Aerotrek's A220, SkyCruiser represents a model from about one decade back. When the LSA regulation first created aviation's newest segment the typical customer was often someone seeking a carbon fiber speedster with autopilot, a full glass panel, and all manner of bells and whistles. Many developers stepped up to fill that demand and simpler (less costly) designs were left behind. Now, they're back!
SkyCruiser, as seen on U.S. Sport Aircraft's Oshkosh space, is powered by a Rotax BRP 912 ULS, and tops out at 1,232 pound gross (88 pounds less than allowed as a SLSA). At a fairly modest 723 pounds empty, the taildragger still offers a 509 pound useful load or a payload of full fuel (17.6 gallons) and two 200-pound occupants with minimal baggage. Stall is listed at a slow 34 knots and maximum cruise is 86 knots. SkyCruiser appears to come well equipped with the latest from Dynon and more.Perhaps it is because of the success of CubCrafters, but the rush remains on for companies developing vintage-style aircraft with big engines. While Rotax continues to power the majority of light aircraft around the world using their ubiquitous 9-series engines, some builders want more. For slower airframes Cubalikes — to use a phrase coined by Bill Canino of Sportair USA, which also offers a muscular model in this same space — adding a massively powerful engine delivers supershort takeoffs and thrilling climb rates.
One engine is clearly winning the high-power race. Originally developed by Lycoming part maker Engine Components International, or ECi, the Titan X-340 has become a powerplant of choice for those seeking 180-horsepower. Other companies like UL Power and Viking also have potent engine offerings but after Continental Motors bought ECi in 2015, the Mobile, Alabama company has parlayed their famous brand into several entries in the light kit and Light-Sport space. Now enter the Kitfox Titan
One very slick Titan installation appeared on a factory Kitfox brought to Oshkosh by owner John McBean. His team always does impressive detail and finish work and the Kitfox Titan seen nearby was a prime example. An airplane that works extremely well with Rotax (still offered, of course) should be nothing short of spectacular with the big Titan engine doing the pulling. I can't wait to fly this one!It may look familiar (indeed it has some common heritage) but Triton America's SkyTrek is a significantly different airplane than those it resembles. The airframe is smoother with more sweeping lines aft of the canopy. The structure is beefed up and able to handle a higher G loading. The nosewheel has been strengthened to last better in flight school use.
A main difference in this model from others with similar overall looks is that SkyTrek is fabricated in China. Its principle designer, Tom Hsueh, has long been established in the USA and has worked with some of the largest aviation companies. Although Tom says, "I have a Chinese face," he works from offices in Washington State. His may be a new name to most readers, but I have been talking with Tom for a couple years and believe he can become a player in the U.S. marketplace as well as in China. To Triton's and Tom's credit, he reported the Chinese CAAC has certified SkyTrek for sale in that country.
Not only a new manufacturer of Light-Sport Aircraft, Tom has bigger ambitions. In 2009, Triton America, which does business as Triton Aerospace, acquired all the design rights and hardware inventory for Adam Aircraft, a company that formerly built and certified a six-seat, twin engine, twin-boom, pressurized, all-carbon-composite FAR 23 aircraft."To wind up this brief look of new flying machines we come back to Murphy Aircraft Manufacturing, still run by founder Darryl Murphy and still based in Chilliwack, British Columbia, Canada. It's been nearly a decade since we saw any new light planes from this once-prolific producer. Darryl said that when the Canadian dollar soared high compared to the U.S. dollar, it became impossible to sell to Americans, by far his company's largest market. So, he used his large facility and impressive forming machinery to make aviation and other parts for different manufacturers. He seemed pleased about the return to building kits; welcome back, Darryl!
While showing his new Radical, Darryl indicated he's been hearing from potential customers that they'd like a Special LSA Rebel and he reports work is proceeding on that in parallel. Meanwhile he introduced a new model that goes hand-in-glove with the new batch of higher powered, higher gross weight aircraft taking several companies beyond the Light-Sport space. This may be one artifact of the EAA/AOPA push to eliminate the third class medical. Darryl acknowledged Rebel is a good foundation for the Radical, however, the new model is essentially a brand new design. "With more payload, more wing area, and capable of using engines up to 220 horsepower, [Radical] will incorporate many of the best features of the Rebel, Elite, Maverick and Super Rebel," he said.
Looking around Oshkosh, I found ultralight, light kit aircraft, and Light-Sport Aircraft all looking healthier than many seem to think. In addition, the arrival of the 180-horsepower Titan and even larger engines combined with higher gross weight/high payload designs seem created to appeal to those who no longer need a medical. The new program won't be effective for a year and still has hoops through which a pilot must jump, but it does open the door to new designs. Light aircraft engineers and manufacturers seem up to the task and customers appeared intrigued by their new offerings.
I'll have more from Oshkosh after catching up with other work, but I found the light sector very alive and doing quite well, with or without a third class medical.
In a show as vast at EAA’s AirVenture Oshkosh, it is presumptuous to attempt covering everything of interest. What follows are some new aircraft I found in the categories I cover on this website. Other projects were certainly worthy of special note but with the goal of a fast dash through the latest and greatest, I’m keeping this one fairly lean. I’ll cover other developments in subsequent articles. So, here’s three aircraft you haven’t seen before AirVenture 2016 plus a revised project involving an increasingly popular engine. I’ll start off with a famous guy checking out a famous engine to propel one of my favorite airplanes. We begin our quick review with Lockwood Aircraft‘s AirCam. Of course, you know his face. When I once heard Harrison Ford speak, he said modestly (paraphrased), “I earn a living making faces.” I never thought of acting in such simple terms, but I accept such skills are part of the job. | aerospace |

And not even "unique", because a person who has already run a marathon in space has already been there.
But let's see the news better.
In conjunction with the London Marathon on April 24, in fact, the English astronaut Tim Peake the same marathon will run on a treadmill inside the ISS orbiting base, remaining connected live with the event, which will follow on a screen.
The marathon is part of a series of experiments that will take place on board the ISS orbiting module, on which Peake will spend 173 mission days.
In order to overcome the absence of gravity, Peake will run with belts and straps that will anchor him to the machinery. Tim had really run the London marathon (the one on earth) in 3h18'50 "in 1999.
And the British astronaut will not even be the first in history to run a space marathon: before him, in fact, NASA astronaut Sunita Williams had ventured in 1997, also during a marathon, that of Boston.

AT&T and Verizon will delay the launch of a new wireless service near some airports after the country’s largest airlines said the service would interfere with aircraft technology and cause major disruptions to aviation.
The decision arrived from carriers on Tuesday as the Biden administration attempted to broker a settlement between carriers and carriers over the rollout of a new 5G service, scheduled for Wednesday.
Airlines want to ban the new service within two miles of the airport’s runways.
AT&T said it would delay operating new cell towers around runways at some airports – and did not specify the number – and would work with federal regulators to settle the dispute.
Shortly thereafter, Verizon said it would launch its own 5G network, but added, “We have voluntarily decided to restrict our 5G network around airports.” She blamed airlines and the Federal Aviation Administration, saying they “have not been able to fully resolve 5G navigation around airports” even though they operate in more than 40 countries.
The announcements came after the airline industry issued a dire warning about the impact of a new type of 5G service on flights. The chief executives of the country’s largest airlines have said interference with aircraft systems will be worse than they originally thought, making many flights impossible.
The chief executives said in a letter Monday to federal officials including Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, who has previously taken the airlines’ side on the matter.
White House press secretary Jen Psaki said that if “hundreds or thousands of flights” were to be grounded, it would affect passengers and freight for the country’s supply chain. “We want to avoid and prevent that,” she said.
Psaki said those involved in ongoing negotiations with airlines and communications include Battigieg, members of President Joe Biden’s economic team, the Federal Aviation Administration and the Federal Communications Commission.
The new high-speed wireless service uses a portion of the radio spectrum, the C-Band, which is close to that used by altimeters, devices that measure the height of aircraft above the ground. Altimeters are used to help pilots land when visibility is poor, and are linked to other systems on aircraft.
AT&T and Verizon say their devices will not interfere with aircraft electronics, and that the technology is being used safely in many other countries.
However, the chief executives of 10 passenger and cargo airlines including US, Delta, United and Southwest say 5G will be more disruptive than previously thought because dozens of large airports were set to have buffer zones. To prevent 5G interference with aircraft, they will remain subject to flight restrictions announced by the Federal Aviation Administration last week. They add that these limitations will not be limited to times when visibility is poor.
“Unless our main aviation hubs are cleared, the vast majority of passengers and cargo will essentially be grounded. This means that on a day like yesterday, more than 1,100 flights and 100,000 passengers will experience cancellations, diversions or delays.”
The standoff between two industries and their rival regulators — the FAA and the FCC, which oversees the radio spectrum — threatens to further disrupt the airline industry, which has been crippled by the pandemic for nearly two years.
This was a crisis that had been building for years.
The airline industry and the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) say they tried to sound alerts about potential interference from the 5G C-Band but were ignored by the FCC.
Carriers, the Federal Communications Commission, and their proponents argue that C-band and aircraft altimeters operate at a sufficient distance on the radio spectrum to avoid interference. They also say the airline industry has been aware of C-Band technology for several years but has done nothing to prepare – airlines chose not to upgrade altimeters that could be subject to interference, and the FAA failed to start scanning equipment on planes until years ago. The past few weeks.
After rival T-Mobile secured so-called mid-band spectrum from its acquisition of Sprint, AT&T and Verizon spent tens of billions of dollars on C-Band spectrum in a government auction run by the FCC to support their mid-band needs, then spent Billions more to build new networks they were planning to launch in early December.
In response to the airlines’ concern, they agreed to postpone the service until early January.
Late on New Year’s Eve, Buttigieg and FAA Director Stephen Dixon asked companies for another delay, warning of an “unacceptable disruption” to air service.
AT&T CEO John Stanke and Verizon CEO Hans Vestberg rejected the request in a letter that had a rebuke, even sarcastic tone. But they had second thoughts after the intervention that reached the White House. They agreed to the second, shorter delay but hinted that there would be no more concessions.
This followed a deal in which carriers agreed to reduce the capacity of their networks near 50 airports for six months, similar to France’s wireless restrictions. In return, the Federal Aviation Administration and the Department of Transportation have promised not to oppose the introduction of the 5G C-Band.
Biden praised the deal, but airlines were unhappy with the agreement, viewing it as a victory for carriers that had not adequately addressed their concerns about trying to land planes at airports where the new service would be active.

A jet plane is an airplane that uses a jet engine. Unlike propeller planes, jet aircraft generally fly at an altitude of 10,000 to 15,000 meters. At this altitude, the jet aircraft can achieve maximum efficiency.
Sir Frank Whittle was the inventor and created the jet engine in 1937, He was an officer in the Royal Air Force (United Kingdom Air Force).
The first aircraft to use the jet engine principle was the Coanda-1910, which was built and driven by Romanian inventor Henri Coandă in 1910.
In addition to weapons, aircraft are also operated to maintain surveillance, especially in border areas. To boost attack power, the military also uses jet aircraft with more than average capabilities. Here is the fastest jet aircraft in history that humans have created.
Private Jet Airplane Coloring Pages
What is the difference between a jet and a plane?
The main difference between jet and propeller plane is that the jet generates thrust through the gas instead of powering the drive shaft connected to the propeller. This allows the jet to fly faster and at higher altitudes.

Fly even further this year with industry leading endurance. What makes our aircraft unique is the ability to take-off and land vertically almost anywhere with the longest flight endurance in the industry.
Looking for other ways to read this?
While Uber's plans may be somewhat ambitious, VTOL technology is increasingly making its way into more aircraft, from small recreational drones up to the traditional systems in helicopters and military jets. VTOL stands for vertical take-off and landing and, as the name suggests, refers to aircraft that can take off, hover, and land vertically. The best-known example is the helicopter, but the F35B fighter jet can also take-off and land from a standing start off the back of an aircraft carrier.
Yes, broadly speaking, there are two different types of VTOL technology: rotorcraft and powered-lift. Rotorcraft , or rotary wing aircraft, are those that use lift generated by rotor blades spinning around a central mast, so helicopters, quadcopters and gyrocopters. Powered-lift vehicles are those that take off and land vertically but perform differently from rotorcraft when in flight.
They typically have a more conventional fixed wing plane design. Examples include convertiplanes such as the Bell Boeing V Osprey, which takes off and lands vertically but uses fixed wing lift in normal flight. Vectored thrust planes , such as the Harrier Jump Het series also used powered-lift by manipulating the thrust from the engine or motor to control the flight of the aircraft. They tend to make a rolling takeoff from a runway when possible as this requires less thrust. This is especially useful for a military plane loaded up with heavy weapons.
VTOL technology means aircraft can theoretically take off and land almost anywhere, making them far more flexible. They're also able to perform various manoeuvres not possible with a conventional plane; a significant advantage for aircraft in combat situations. What's more, VTOL aircraft, such as drones, that use electric motors are more energy efficient than those using jet engines. A number of firms are developing aircraft that use a VTOL system.
Despite a flood of recent controversies, ride-sharing app firm Uber has pledged to launch its first flying taxis in using VTOL. In order to see this embed, you must give consent to Social Media cookies.

James Burke, in his celebrated Public Broadcasting System television series, ''Connections'', insists that "we cannot know where we are going unless we know where we have been. But it is generally accepted that the rotorcraft equivalent to the Wright Brothers' era started in with Juan de la Cierva, at Getafe, Spain. Cierva was attracted to the unpowered, autorotating, wing because of its lifting potential at very low forward speeds. He was motivated, for safety reasons, to provide fixed-wing airplanes with a simple device that would eliminate stall and provide the capability to land safely in the event of engine failure. Cierva called his original configuration a gyroplane, which later became known as the autogiro.
Jump to navigation. Igor Sikorsky was an important part of aviation history, from the flight of Wright brothers to the exploration of space. Who was Sikorsky, and what were some of the advances he made in the field of aviation? What physics principles are required to make a vertical take-off and landing craft—a helicopter—work? The youngest of five children three daughters and two sons of a psychology professor, he received his early education and a liking for the work of Da Vinci and Jules Verne from his mother, who was also a trained physician.
Case Files: Igor Sikorsky
A vertical take-off and landing VTOL aircraft is one that can hover, take off, and land vertically. Others, such as some helicopters, can only operate by VTOL, due to the aircraft lacking landing gear that can handle horizontal motion. Electric and hybrid-electric vertical takeoff and landing aircraft, or eVTOLs , are being developed in the quest for fully autonomous passenger air vehicles PAV.

Injured in a Pittsburgh, PA airplane Accident?
Flying is one of the safest forms of transportation; the chances of being in a fatal air crash in the U.S. is about one in eight million in domestic flights and one in five million in international flights. But, because of the nature of airplane accidents, when they do occur, the outcome is devastating.
If you or someone you love is involved in a serious plane accident, the Pittsburgh personal injury lawyers at Chaffin Luhana can help you. We represent individuals and families throughout the Ohio Valley in West Virginia, Western Pennsylvania and Eastern Ohio and we handle product liability cases and airplane crash cases nationwide.
Commercial and Private Airplane Accidents
The safest way to fly is on a commercial airliner and the most unsafe way to fly is on a private plane. In between are flying on scheduled commuter airlines and flying on commuter planes such as air taxis on demand. Reports indicate the following when comparing fatalities per million flight hours:
- 4.03 for commercial airlines
- 10.74 for scheduled commuter airlines
- 12.24 for nonscheduled flights such as air taxis on demand
- 22.43 for private planes
According to reports, the crash rate has climbed 20 percent since 2000 on private-pilot flights, but has fallen about 85 percent on commercial jetliners.
15 Causes of Pittsburgh Airplane Accidents
Airplanes may crash for a number of reasons, including:
- Engine failures
- Mid-air collisions
- Pilot error
- Negligent maintenance
- Air traffic control errors
- Defective onboard computers or software
- Fuel tank explosions
- Loss of control (caused either by the plane or by the crew)
- Ice, snow, or other types of bad weather conditions
- Manufacturing defects
- Equipment failure
- Structural or design problems
- Bird strikes
- Loss of power
- Overloading the plane
Airport Accidents and Negligence
Negligence by people at many levels can result in airplane accidents. Negligent parties can include the plane’s owners, its designers, its manufacturer, maintenance workers, air traffic controllers and the pilot. A crash may be the result of a combination of negligent factors. For example, if a maintenance worker makes a mistake and the pilot does not catch it when going down the check list, at least two people may be responsible for a crash.
All it takes is for one piece of equipment to be faulty for a plane to go down. Defective equipment, which can result in plane crashes, might be due to errors in the following:

Known as Tau Heculids, the shower could brighten up the night of May 30 and last till May 31 early morning. The meteor storm is actually the result of a disintegrated and bleeding comet that will make an appearance on the day. Known as Schwassmann-Wachmann or the SW3, the comet was named after the two observers from Germany, Arnold Schwassmann and Arno Arthur Wachmann.
One gets to see meteor showers when Earth passes through the debris of the comet. On May 30, it is expected that a fantastic light show display would be visible in the night sky. Explaining the dicey scenario, a meteor expert at NASA, Bill Cooke said, “If the debris from SW3 was travelling more than 220 miles per hour when it separated from the comet, we might see a nice meteor shower. If the debris had a slower ejection speed, then nothing will make it to the Earth and there will be no meteors from this comet.”
This means that either there will be a breathtaking bright show of celestial debris in the sky or nothing at all.
The SW3 comet that is expected to cause the meteor shower was observed in 1930. However, it wasn’t spotted again until the 1970s due to its extreme faintness. Then in 1995, skywatchers were astonished when it appeared 600 times brighter and became visible even to naked eyes.
According to NASA, the striking radiance of the comet was due to its shatter “littering its own orbital trail with debris”. The comet passed Earth again in 2006 but it had fragmented into approx. 70 pieces by then. Later, it splintered further into more pieces.
Now, experts believe that if the conditions remain conducive, one could expect a meteor shower of 1,000 meteors per hour. | aerospace |

NASA’s Mars Exploration Rover Spirit landed on Mars last night and is sending pictures to Earth with a delay of only nine minutes. Speed of light, eh buddy? Pretty crazy.
How do we know it isn’t just a desert here on Earth?
I’ll tell you this – it’s pretty damn amazing that we have the technology to send a ship into space, land it on a foreign planet and then send back pictures at the delay rate of nine minutes. It frustrates me actually, that this country hasn’t made more strides in getting space travel and exploration going at a quicker rate. On the same token, there’s so much that hasn’t been explored here on Earth, below the sea. There’s SO MUCH down there we have not found.
I sort of wonder, if NASA ever found remnants of an old civilization on MARS, would they ever release the pictures to the world? Or would they keep them quiet, for fear of upsetting religious leaders and people that don’t want the World to even seriously consider life on other planets?
That and “is the Universe infinite?” are my ambiguous questions for the day. Note the time. | aerospace |
