The project’s main objective was to prove that active guidance of a rocket by entirely mechanical means is possible. The results of the project were thus indeterminate: due to ignition failures, the guidance system of the rocket was never fully activated. In fact, the ignition systems turned out to be the Achilles heel of the entire project. With more time, the ignition problems were resolvable, but the project had to be terminated because of the departure of its chief engineer and architect. Video from project coverage is being compiled, in the meantime please enjoy video of the launch failures from the project’s last day.

Originally the EX5 project was an idea for a rocket with 5 E-rated motors. Two motors would be in boosters; the other three would be clustered inside the main rocket body. The two main challenges were the separation of the boosters and the planned in-flight ignition of the cluster after booster separation. It was a staged rocket with boosters instead of stages.
The weight kept adding up. There needed to be systems to capture the booster motors’ ejection charges to separate the boosters. There needed to be enough batteries on board for the in-flight ignition. This rocket was going to fly slowly. Too slowly for fins to work. Add another requirement to the project challenges: keep it flying straight.
Maybe keeping it flying straight was a better challenge anyway. A guidance system would be needed, and that would make the rocket heavy, but that’s where the boosters come in. The main rocket body only contains the guidance system, and the guidance system uses only one motor to express its wishes. The other four motors are in boosters.
The complexity of the challenge quickly became apparent. A special pad had to be designed in order to prevent roasting of the motor mounts during liftoff. The guidance column couldn’t transmit its steering motor’s ejection charge, so the responsibility of recovery had to go to the boosters. The rocket body needed myriad interfaces for all the components that were going to be attached.
In the end, four main components were identified: vehicle, boosters, guidance, and pad (or the nebulous “launch systems”). Each of these systems has been under construction geo-separately. Launch date was originally planned for mid-June.
We are doing this project because it is hard. It is complex, it is confusing, and success is not guaranteed; but difficulty ignites us to meet the challenge.
We are completing this hard project by applying engineering methods to the project process. We are dividing the project into components. We are identifying every task before we start any of them. We are making the project progress “visible,” and we are testing every component before calling it “done.”
What are we doing? We are launching a finless rocket.

The EgyptAir Airbus A320 flying overnight from Paris to Cairo crashed into the eastern Mediterranean Sea early on Thursday 19 May. Flight MS804 had 66 passengers and crew on board.
Debris from the crashed flight has been recovered in the Mediterranean, 290km (180 miles) north of the city of Alexandria in Egypt.
What happened, when?
Flight MS804 left Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport at 21:09 GMT (23:09 Paris time) on Wednesday. It was scheduled to land at Cairo International Airport at 01:15 GMT (03:15 Cairo time).
At 23:24 GMT (02:24 Athens time), the plane entered Greek airspace.
Greek air traffic controllers spoke to the pilot at 23:48 GMT as the plane flew over the island of Kea. He was in good spirits and reported no problems.
At 00:26 GMT smoke was detected in the toilet, according to data sent back to the airline via the ACARS reporting system.
At 00:27 GMT,more smoke was detected in the avionics area which contains the aircraft’s electronics and computers below the cockpit.
The controllers tried to make contact with the plane at 00:27 GMT, before it left Greek airspace, but despite repeated calls, the aircraft did not respond.
At 00:29 GMT, the aircraft left Greek airspace and at 00:29.40 GMT it vanished from Greek radar.
At some point before the aircraft was lost from radar, it turned 90 degrees left and then 360 degrees to the right, dropping from 37,000 [11,300m] to 15,000ft [4,600m] and then 10,000ft [3,000m], according to Greek investigators.
The plane lost contact with Egyptian radar at 00:30 GMT (02:30 Cairo time), when it was 280km (174 miles) from the Egyptian coast.
Search and rescue operations began at 00:45 GMT.
The search for the wreckage
The area in which flight MS804 crashed is one of the deepest in the Mediterranean – more than 3,000m (10,000ft) in some parts.
Floating debris has been found to the east of the plane’s last known location. Egypt’s military has released images of wreckage including a lifejacket, pieces of material and metal fragments.
The search is now focused on finding the plane’s so-called black box flight data and voice recorders.
This could take up to a month, experts say, as ridges in the ocean floor could block signals from the flight recorders and also interfere with sonar from vessels searching for the wreckage.
Was this an act of terrorism?
The fire alarm data could be the biggest clue yet as to what happened. It suggests there was a fire at the front of the aircraft, on the right-hand side, and that the fire spread very quickly.
But whether that fire was deliberate or mechanical, we still can’t say, says the BBC’s transport correspondent Richard Westcott
Egypt’s civil aviation minister said the possibility of a terrorist attack bringing down the aircraft was “stronger” than technical failure.
The head of Russia’s Federal Security Service (FSB) was also quoted by the Interfax news agency as saying: “In all likelihood, this is a terrorist act.”
Last October, an Airbus A321 operated by Russia’s Metrojet was brought down by a bomb over Egypt’s Sinai peninsula, killing all 224 people on board. A local affiliate of the jihadist militant group Islamic State (IS), called Sinai Province, said it had smuggled a device on board.
However, Egyptian Prime Minister Sharif Ismail has been reluctant to speculate over the cause of the disappearance. “We cannot exclude anything at this time or confirm anything,” he told reporters.
In France, the focus is on whether a possible breach of security happened at Paris Charles de Gaulle airport.
After last November’s Paris attacks, some airport staff had their security clearance revoked over fears of links to Islamic extremists.
Bad weather is not thought to be a contributing factor – the European Organisation for the Safety of Air Navigation said the weather was clear at the time the plane disappeared.
Who was on board?
There were 56 passengers, seven crew members and three security personnel on board.
The passengers comprised 30 Egyptians, 15 French, two Iraqis, one Briton, one Kuwaiti, one Saudi, one Sudanese, one Chadian, one Portuguese, one Belgian, one Algerian and one Canadian. Three of the passengers were children, two of them infants, EgyptAir said.
Egypt’s state-run al-Ahram newspaper identified the pilot as Captain Mohamed Shokeir. EgyptAir said he had had 6,275 hours of flying experience, including 2,101 hours on the A320, while the first officer had had 2,766 hours.
An Egyptair official identified the co-pilot as Mohamed Assem, with more than 2,000 hours flying experience.
What do we know about the plane itself?
Airbus said the aircraft involved, an A320-232 registered as SU-GCC, was delivered to EgyptAir from the production line in November 2003.
The twin-engine aircraft had accumulated approximately 48,000 flight hours.
The plane tracking website, Flightradar24, reported that on Wednesday the plane had flown from Asmara, in Eritrea, to Cairo, then on to Tunis, in Tunisia, before heading, via Cairo, to Paris.
The BBC has learned that the plane that disappeared was forced to make an emergency landing in 2013 after the pilot noticed the engine overheating, but an official report said the defect had been repaired.
A320s typically seat 150 passengers in a two-class cabin, or up to 180 in a high-density layout. They have a range of up to 6,480km (3,500 nautical miles).
The aircraft family first entered service in 1988. At the end of April 2016 more than 6,700 A320s were in operation worldwide, according to Airbus. To date, the entire fleet has accumulated almost 180 million flight hours in over 98 million flights.
Are plane crashes happening more frequently?
No. Despite several high-profile plane crashes in recent years, data gathered by the Aviation Safety Network (ASN) shows that 2015 had a record low total of 16 fatal airliner accidents, resulting in 560 fatalities.
ASN says that made 2015 the safest year ever in terms of the number of fatal accidents and the fifth safest year ever in terms of fatalities. #EgyptAirMS804 & #egyptianamericanchamber | aerospace |

In this blog we will be looking at SpaceX and the most recent launch of their Dragon spacecraft to the International Space Station.
We will also be giving you some information about our clearance sale and information about how you could win a Pilot watch and a 1-slot watch roll, RRP £180.00.
At Blenheim, our motto is “Go Beyond” and with humanity's most modern technology, Space is as far beyond as human beings can reach. The brave men and women at NASA and SpaceX make this possible.
On Saturday 30th May, SpaceX launched Crew Dragon to the International Space Station on a Falcon 9 rocket from Launch Complex 39-A at Cape Canaveral in Florida. Astronauts Bob Behnken and Doug Hurley are set to stay there for a few months to aid in the operation of the station.
This was a momentous and historic event. The first astronauts to be launched from US soil in over 9 years. It was also the first time that astronauts have been launched into orbit by a private organisation, a feat only before accomplished by nations.
From launch to docking at the space station took almost 19 hours. While en route to the station, the astronauts were allowed some time to pilot the spacecraft themselves, testing manoeuvrability and responsiveness to their control.
Now that they have docked, they will spend a few months operating the space station alongside the crew already there: American astronaut Christopher Cassidy, and Russian cosmonauts Ivan Vagner and Anatoly Ivanishin.
The Dragon Crew spacecraft was also being tested as a part of this endeavour to space. If the spacecraft passes NASA’s safety standards, it will become certified to start routine trips taking astronauts to and from the space station.
A Journey through Time and Space
Time is an infinite journey. We use watches to track time, but it moves on regardless of anything we attempt to do with it.
Time in space is an interesting phenomenon, and on the International Space Station, time is an essential tool. The ISS is set to GMT and all astronauts who are scheduled to go up must acclimatise to this time zone before they launch.
In the past, the time zone used for the ISS was GMT -5 to match the time in Texas because Houston, TX is where the main command centre for the ISS is located. However, scientists and engineers in Moscow, Russia also needed to operate the console from 7:00 am to 7:00 pm when the astronauts were working, so they agreed to use GMT.
It takes the ISS roughly 93 minutes to complete one orbit of the Earth, it completes 15.5 orbits every day, meaning the astronauts aboard the ISS can see a sunrise or sunset every 45 minutes.
In good conditions on clear nights, you might be able to see it soaring through the sky. Click here to see where the International Space Station is right now.
In an interview with Paolo Nespoli, an Italian astronaut who was aboard the space shuttle Discovery on mission STS-120, was recorded saying he wore 3 watches at a time. He had one set for Italy, one for the US and another for GMT. He also said they kept changing the times so he was still getting confused.
As a watch company inspired by Aviation, we offer our fullest support to those brave scientists and engineers who are serving the human race, ever pushing the boundaries of technology and allowing us to learn more about, space, time, and ourselves.

Elon Musk-owned SpaceX has launched 48 more Starlink Internet satellites into orbit. To put these satellites into orbit, the Falcon-9 rocket took off from Florida, the USA on March 9. The first stage of the rocket returned to the SpaceX drone ship located in the Atlantic Ocean. The special thing is that this was the 10th launch of SpaceX in the last 10 weeks. Each launch had 48 satellites. SpaceX has said that through these satellites it wants to bring low-latency high-speed broadband internet to areas where internet connectivity is not available.
Together these satellites form a large constellation in low Earth orbit, called Starlink. SpaceX has already launched more than 2,000 such satellites. Many more satellites are expected to be launched by the end of this year. SpaceX has got permission to launch more than 12,000 Starlink satellites.
Sharing a video related to the launch, Elon Musk tweeted that 48 more Starlinks have just arrived in orbit. Elon Musk is preparing to lay a network of Starlink satellites around the world, but his ambition raises concerns over the debris of satellites moving in space. Keep in mind that SpaceX has sought approval to launch 30,000 satellites.
Most of SpaceX’s launches have been done on the ‘Falcon 9’ rocket. It is the world’s first orbital-class rocket and can fly again. This rocket did its first test in June 2010. Reusing the Falcon-9 rocket reduces the cost of launching satellites.
This SpaceX project has also faced some setbacks in the recent past. Last month, a storm in space destroyed an entire batch of SpaceX satellites. Dozens of its satellites fell from space and were destroyed as soon as they entered the Earth’s atmosphere. To avoid such incidents in the future, SpaceX has decided to deploy satellites at higher altitudes. | aerospace |

With the summer travel season in full swing, America’s top low-cost carrier Southwest Airlines has been the subject of some less-than-flattering exposure lately after a hole ripped open mid-flight in the fuselage of one of the airline’s Boeing 737s in April. Fortunately, in this instance, only one person (a flight attendant) suffered a minor injury after the plane descended 17,000 feet in under a minute. Incidents in the air like this one, however, can be extremely dangerous, and airline safety questions are being raised after Southwest subsequently grounded 79 of its Boeing 737s for inspection.
This is not the first time Southwest has made headlines for the wrong reasons. In a 2009 incident eerily similar to the most recent one, a football-sized hole opened in the fuselage of one of Southwest’s 737s. While no one was seriously injured in that incident, either, the repeated problems raise serious concerns about the safety of some of Southwest’s older airplanes.
In a related story in 2009, Southwest was fined by the FAA for missing mandatory inspection deadlines, in some cases by as much as two and a half years. The FAA fines were $10.2 million, later reduced to $7.5 million. As a result, the airline’s investors sued Southwest’s top officers alleging breach of fiduciary duty by failing to meet FAA standards. That case settled for $3.5 million.
More Stringent Safety Inspections Needed?
As for the incident this past April, FAA compliance does not seem to have been the issue. Records show that Southwest was in compliance with its FAA inspection schedule, and the actual 737 involved in the incident had received a “heavy” inspection from the FAA just a year before. This fact could cause speculation as to whether or not the FAA inspections themselves are stringent enough.
Just what causes a hole in a giant airplane? In the case of these Southwest incidents, the answer is metal fatigue. It is not uncommon to find cracks in the fuselages of older planes, but metal fatigue that reaches the severity of a hole being ripped in the fuselage mid-flight seems preventable, or at least noticeable.
The FAA’s own record when it comes to Southwest Airlines is not unblemished. In 2010, a government watchdog faulted the FAA for overlooking missed safety inspections or failing to perform mandatory maintenance on Southwest planes. Further, two “whistleblowers” claimed that FAA management knew about the lapse in safety at Southwest but decided to slow down the FAA inspection schedule so as not to disrupt Southwest’s busy flight schedule and wreak havoc on the nation’s air traffic system.
Meanwhile, Southwest is not the only airline that has had trouble with its 737s. In 1988, a huge chunk of the top of an Aloha Airlines 737 opened up, killing a flight attendant. In the early 1990s, two 737s crashed, one from US Airways and the other from United Airlines, killing 132 and 25 people respectively. These tragedies were blamed not on fuselage holes but rather on faulty rudder control systems. As a result, the FAA now demands regular checks of the rudder systems on all 737s still in the air, but there has been no word yet on whether more rigorous fuselage checks may be in store.
For the sake of all air passengers, hopefully Southwest Airlines and the FAA can work together to avoid some of the mistakes made in the past and place safety inspections above the interest of keeping flight schedules on time. While flight delays and cancellations are a major hassle, they pale in comparison to the unthinkable alternative. | aerospace |

The majority of conventional beginner rc gliders are 2 or 3 channel, with control to either 1.) rudder and elevator, 2.) aileron and rudder, 3.) aileron and elevator. By conventional I mean gliders with a wing, fin and tailplane.
The other most common alternative is the delta-wing type (or ‘flying wing’) and these are common for slope soaring. These gliders are usually just two channel with both aileron and elevator controls mixed in to control surfaces called elevons.
Above: a simple nearly indestructible flying wing type and a conventional glider.
Another less common alternative is the canard type and these are not common at all for slope soaring, but are seen rarely in motorized fighter jet model aircraft. These gliders have what in essence are the elevator (up and down) controls forward of the main lifting wing rather than behind at the tail end of the aircraft, it may still be just two channel with both aileron and elevator controls mixed in to the main wing control surfaces called elevons.
A two channel glider, although simple, can still be a lot of fun on the slope, particularly if it has aileron control instead of rudder. Having aileron control means that the glider can be rolled more easily, and it just makes the glider more aerobatic and fun to fly.
A foam delta-wing type glider is fairly durable, generally speaking, which makes it very beginner-friendly.
The more advanced rc gliders and larger sailplanes can have more channels still, with additional controls for flaps or spoilers, air brakes and even tow line release hooks in the nose and retractable nose wheel.
Simpler two channel conventional rc gliders like the timeless Goldberg Gentle Lady for example, shown below, are not at all complicated to fly and their design makes them inherently very stable, making such gliders perfect for the novice.
Flying rc gliders of this type can be a very peaceful and relaxing experience. Typically flying speeds of such gliders are much slower than the speeds of powered airplanes and their stability gives the pilot plenty of time to react. Gliders like the Gentle Lady are very forgiving in the air and won’t punish you for making mistakes ! | aerospace |

"This image is a great example of what European cooperation in space can achieve," ESA’s Director of Earth Observation Programmes, Simonetta Cheli, said in a statement. "The level of detail MTG-I1’s image reveals, unachievable over Europe and Africa from a geostationary orbit until now, will give us a greater understanding of our planet and the weather systems that shape it."
First image of the full Earth disc from the Meteosat Third Generation Imager. The first image from Meteosat Third Generation – Imager 1 (MTG-I1) reveals a level of detail about the weather over Europe and Africa not previously possible from 36 000 km
The image of Earth, captured by the satellite’s Flexible Combined Imager on March 18, shows most of northern and western Europe and Scandinavia blanketed in clouds, while relatively clear skies are observed over Italy and the western Balkans.
"This image represents not just what can be achieved through European expertise but our determination to ensure the benefits of new technology are felt by communities in Europe and beyond," Cheli added.
The ESA said that the instruments onboard the third generation of Meteosat meteorological satellites produce photos with a much higher resolution and more frequently than those on the Meteosat Second Generation satellites.
The photos show stunning details such as cloud vortices over the Canary Islands, snow in the Alps and sediment in the water along the coast of Italy.
This animation from Meteosat Third Generation Imager-1 (MTG-I1) imagery, zooming in Europe, was made from one day’s worth of data, from 11:50 UTC 18 March to 11:50 UTC 19 March 2023. MTG-I1 produces images of the full Earth disc every 10 minutes. (EU
Those details are not clearly visible, or not seen at all, in the images from the current second-generation spacecraft.
The new photo of Earth also shows greater detail of the cloud structures at higher latitudes. The ESA says photos will enable weather forecasts to more accurately monitor the evolution of rapidly developing severe weather.
"It might sound odd to be so excited about a cloudy day in most of Europe, but the level of detail seen for the clouds in this image is extraordinarily important to weather forecasts," said Phil Evans, director general at Eumetsat.
The ESA said MTG-I1 is undergoing a 12-month commissioning phase, in which the instruments are switched on, and the data they gather are calibrated.
Data from the satellite will then be sent to meteorological services in Europe and beyond at the end of 2023, which will be used in weather forecasts. | aerospace |

The CanSat mission
Scientists and engineers have to work together to create the best satellite design. The scientific aim of your mission will directly affect how your CanSat should be engineered. Here, you will find the outline of your mission and hints to the hardware components you should include.
The team must build a CanSat and program it to accomplish the primary mission to measure, after release and during descent, the following parameters:
• Air temperature
• Air pressure
This year, teams must store this data in an on-board SD card in order to be eligible for the European CanSat Competition 2020-21 launch campaign. For the National Competitions, it is at the discretion of the National Organisers to decide whether the data should be stored in an on-board SD card and/or transmitted to ground.
The secondary mission of the CanSat must be selected by the team. Teams can take ideas from real satellite missions or collect scientific data for a specific project, make a technology demonstration for a student-designed component, or any other mission that would fit inside the CanSat and show its capabilities. Teams are invited to take inspiration from ESA missions for designing their own secondary missions.
Some example secondary missions:
When coming up with your mission concept and hardware components, think if there is additional data you would like to retrieve and analyse, e.g.
• GPS location
• Radiation levels
It can be very important for the scientists and engineers to recover their payload, therefore a targeted landing is sometimes necessary. Your CANSat design could include advanced telemetry/telecommand to help navigate a targeted landing. Alternatively your CANSat could incorporate a bespoke parachute or airbag.
Your CANSat can simulate an exploration flight to a new planet, taking measurements on the ground after landing. You should define your exploration mission and identify the parameters necessary to accomplish it (e.g. pressure, temperature, samples of the terrain, humidity, etc.). This may require additional sensors to be included into your CANSat design.
The CANSat casing design is a great way to add some artistic flare. However, all the amazing science is happening using the technology inside. Your CANSat design should show what sensors, electronics and communication hardware that you will use. There are a variety of Consumer-Off-The-Shelf (COTS) hardware available, therefore, you should design your CANSat with your specific components in mind.
*Due to the current COVID-19 travel restrictions, the European CanSat Competition 2020-21 Launch Campaign will be run by ESA and followed remotely by the winning teams. It has therefore been decided to remove the requirement of transmission to a ground station in order to ease the execution of the European Launch Campaign.

Started in late 1963, it has been supporting space craft 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year for over 54 years.
The DSN has many vital roles, but one of its biggest is to serve as the communication link between Earth and its robotic emissaries in deep space — anything from the moon and beyond. Every image we’ve ever received from deep space, every relay of scientific data, even those famous words the Eagle has landed, was collected by the dishes of the Deep Space Network.
The DSN faces many challenges, but their biggest one might be the current funding crunch they are experiencing. It is hard to point to concrete benefits of the program, but the information we have learned about our solar systems and the amazing photos that have been sent back I think justify their budget of approximately $200 million a year.
It covers everything from maintaining the dishes to the ongoing upgrades to the antennas to paying the 300-plus people who work at the dishes around the world. For comparison, the total value of all the robotic missions currently in deep space is around $25 billion and growing.
For something really cool check out DSN Now to see the status of the satellite dishes at the 3 DSN locations (Goldstone, California; Madrid, Spain; and Canberra, Australia) and see which ones are actively downlinking and uplinking data in real time and to which space craft.

Diversions to other airports is never fun for the passengers, nor for the airline crews who have to work the extra flight. Flight crews do not enjoy diverting to other airports either, especially if they do not feel comfortable in the airfield or the ground personnel who will be working the flight. However, for some airports, much like the one I work for, diversions are a gift from the aviation gods, which supports our airport greatly.
In the past, I worked for US Airways for four years, as a ramp agent and enjoyed every minute of it (minus the weather and being exposed to the elements). Thus, I am familiar with how servicing an aircraft operates and when diversions come to our airport, I get another chance to utilize these skills once again. Since our normal commercial service aircraft is a Saab 340 B+, 34 seat, twin turboprop aircraft, I enjoy seeing commercial jets grace our ramp. Since our airport was once served by a legacy carrier airline, yet now must utilize the Essential Air Service to maintain commercial service, we are limited to the size of airline and type of aircraft we can support. That being said, we are required to maintain a minimum of 10 passengers per day to keep our EAS funding.
When commercial aircraft are diverted to our airport and the passengers deplane the aircraft and reboard, we are able to count those passengers toward our goal of 10 passengers per day. Therefore, diversions may hinder airline operations elsewhere and upset passengers and flight crews greatly, for others in the industry, such as our airport, we thrive from diversions. In my office, I have a computer solely dedicated to watching the weather and tracking all inbound flights to Atlanta. When weather or traffic begins to build around ATL, we start noting the nearby aircraft, which may divert to our field. This allows the airport and operations personnel to be prepared in the event of a diversion.
So, the next time you are on a flight that is diverted to another airport, for whatever reason, and you may feel upset that you are in the middle of no where, please understand that the airport may actually be glad to have you there. Your aircraft may be making a significant difference to aid in the future of the airport. Oh, and please be respectful to ramp agents that handle baggage. Granted some are not as good as others, but it is a difficult and sometimes a very confusing job, so please be courteous. Thanks and happy flying! | aerospace |

As the name suggests, this drone is specifically intended for video recording from a first-person view (FPV).
FPV videos are commonly shown in various professional car or motorcycle racing events, where the camera shows the racer’s point of view.
because it is designed for FPV, this drone is equipped with many supporting technologies. One of them is the DJI OcuSync technology which allows the drone to have an agile response rate.
So, the drone controller can control the tool quickly to avoid obstacles or objects in front of it.
To see more real and as if he was “flying” in the air, drone operators can also wear an accessory called the DJI FPV Goggles V2.
DJI claims that these glasses are equipped with capable wireless technology with a high bitrate (50 Mbps) which can adjust the rate and speed of the drone when recording video.
DJI itself claims the FPV Drone can accelerate to speeds of 140 km / h with an acceleration rate of 100 km / h in two seconds. This device can also be controlled remotely, a maximum of 10 km.
The DJI FPV Drone itself has several recording modes. Among them are the low-latency standard HD, Smooth, Audience, Normal, Manual, to Sport Mode.
There is also an Emergency Brake and Hover feature to prevent the drone from being hit by another object when traveling at high speed, as well as Visual Positioning Sensors (VPS) which allows the device to land and take off smoothly.
For video recording, this drone supports a 4K format with a frame rate of 60 fps and a bitrate of 120 Mbps. The drone camera can also record 1080p video with a frame rate of 120 fps.
To keep recording stable when maneuvering, DJI also equipped this device with a single-axis gimbal equipped with DJI rockSteady image stabilization technology.
The U DJI FPV Drone is sold in a bundling package (DJI FPV Combo) which costs the US $ 1,299 as summarized. Apart from the drone unit, users will also get a remote controller, FPV Goggles V2, supporting cables, and one battery.
Several other components are sold separately, such as two packages of Intelligent Flight Batteries and a charging hub which sells for US $ 299, and the Motion Controller which is sold for the US $ 199.

Building and flying model aeroplanes is one of John's major hobbies. He started as a young teenager in the early 1950's, building and flying the small Keil Kraft 3s/8d rubber powered scale aircraft. Soon enough someone, probably John's Dad, bought him a "Jetex 50" unit and several KeilKraft jet engined models were then built and flown. These always had their final flight around Guy Fawkes night (5th November) when the Jetex unit was replaced by a "Whizz-bang!" firework for a dramatic last flight.
He experimented with powered free flight for only a short time. His pride and joy as a fifteen-year-old was a Mills 0.75cc diesel, obtained with several months pocket money. John built an "own-design" plane with a polyhedral wing and conventional tail unit each strapped with rubber bands on to a triangular section fuselage. It flew very well. Too well in fact -- On one fateful flight John nudged the tail unit as he launched it and it flew straight as an arrow into the sunset. It was never found. John then turned to contol-line flying and had a lot of fun, first with a KeilKraft "Skystreak 40" and several other; class A racers, and own-design aerobatic models -- all powered by a hardworking ED 2.5cc "racer" diesel.
Model aircraft then took a back seat when I went away to University, got married, started a family etc. etc., but returned to it in the mid 1970s when our son was a few years old. I bought some second hand radio gear, built a "WorkMaster" from the Aeromodeller plans service and taught myself to fly with a little help from a fellow club member of the (then) RRE model aero club.
So much for background -- I've been a member of my present club, the Hereford Model Aero Club since the early 1980s. I've concentrated on building and flying fixed wing power aircraft, including a couple of twin-engined planes. Click here to see details and pictures of some of my models.
I'm proud to announce that I passed my BMFA "B" certificate in October 2002, a mere twenty-odd years after mastering the art of flying radio-controlled models. | aerospace |

The pilot rewards (points) system is an optional virtual airline feature that provides virtual airlines with the ability to automatically award a customisable amount of reward points for pilots who specifically fly routes that have been set up by the virtual airline.
Reward points will also be able to be configured to be rewarded for virtual airline achievements too (this is coming soon!)
The system works by checking any company routes that the airline has configured upon landing, if a route is found that matches the departure and arrival airport, and an optional amount of reward points (XP, $v etc.) has been configured for the route, FsHub will automatically award the pilot the full amount of points as long as the pilot has flown greater than 95% of the route (track) distance.
If the pilot has taken several shortcuts or simply flown DIRECT and therefore the distance flown is less than 95% of the route distance, reward points will be allocated to the pilot as a proportion of the maximum point allocation based on the track distance percentage flown and as such, it is within the pilot's best interest to fly the full route in order to maximise the total amount of points he or she will receive.
This system has been specifically developed to encourage your virtual airline users to regularly fly published company routes (to and from specific destinations); whilst this system can be used for any kind of virtual airline on FsHub, this feature is probably more useful and suited towards virtual airlines that are concentrating on larger commercial passenger and cargo operations as opposed to military, GA or smaller turbo-prop commercial operations.
As with most things in FsHub, we try to deliver features that aim to be optional and unopinionated in their use case.
The Pilot Rewards system, by default, is configured as “Experience Points (XP)” however, in order to cater for all users and add a greater level of customisation, virtual airlines can name (label) the “unit” of reward points to whatever they like through the Virtual Airline settings page (Crew Portal > Airline Details > Pilot Rewards), as an example you could use “Dollars/($)” or maybe something a little more creative such as “Flight Tokens/(FT)”.
It is important to note that this system is decoupled and completely unrelated to the Pilot Ranks and Pilot Achievement systems - all three of these systems are individually optional and operate independently to maximise the creative use of “any mix” of these systems by the virtual airline management team.
How it works (a high-level overview)
When this feature (Enable pilot reward points?) is enabled from the Virtual Airline settings page (Crew Portal > Airline Details > Options), any company routes that are set up for the virtual airline (through Crew Portal > Administration > Routes) that you are flying for can optionally be configured with a Pilot rewards value (this is a number between 0 and 1000 - or simply leave blank to ignore awarding points for this route) - this value is then awarded to the pilot when he or she flies and completes the route.
You may decide that you want to award (or pay) your pilots the maximum value for all routes (eg. 1000), you should however consider using these points to your advantage in future - As a virtual airline owner/management team, you should probably ensure that all of your published routes are flown, this is especially important if you plan to use the upcoming Corporate Airline Mode (CAM) (an optional advanced economy mode) features for your virtual airline as for any published routes that are flown less often/not at all will reduce your airline's AEI (Airline Efficiency Index), majorly impact your airlines' score on our inter-airline ranking systems in addition to your airline's profits.
For any reward points that the virtual airline pilot earns (whether this is XP, Virtual dollars, or some other fictitious point/currency), we provide RESTful API endpoints to enable developers and website integrations to be able to deposit, withdraw and transfer these reward points between the virtual airline users and the virtual airline (CAM) account.
As an example, the pilot's earned reward points can then be “spent” and/or “traded” through external systems - examples of such integrations include:
- Discord bots (eg. pay for greater access levels)
- Twitch bots (think “hydrate” etc.)
- Virtual airline livery unlocks (eg. through a custom website plugin)
- Pilot rank-ups etc. (eg. through a custom website plugin)
- Virtual trading (through third-party websites)
- VA events/challenges
- ….the possibilities are endless!

- That's an interesting quote. I searched the CC file for "satellite" and most of it is referring to an array at Black Mesa, and the rocket Gordon launches in the first HL completed that array. But yes, lookgin through the quotes I see a lot of evidence they are launching their own. "Satellite payload powered and ready..." "Kleiner, are you going to sync up the satellite?

He has patented an ion-propelled aircraft that flies silently and with no emissions. Ethan says this is the future aircraft. An airplane that has zero emissions makes no noise. This is the future of the air industry, with planes flying on zero carbo engines. Ethan ion propelled aircraft works by discharging electrical current between two electrodes of different sizes. The wind is created between the electrodes and, with enough voltage, can generate enough thrust to power aircraft without the need for fuel.
The theory of ion-propelled aircraft has been around since the sixties. However, Ethan has been invested in the concept over the years. He has recently found the breakthrough and foresees this technology completely revolutionizing the airline industry and significantly contributes to combating climate change by producing aircraft with zero carbon emissions. However, currently, technology is only helpful in making kids’ toys (C, 2018). Moreover, it still requires significant investment to make the technology a reality. However, the concept is firm and will undoubtedly transform the airline industry.
Ethan has been working on this concept for over 18n years. He says that he ordered hovercraft and hand gliders from famous magazines when he was still growing up. He then designed vehicles, and when he reached his early twenties, he was able to build a solar-powered vehicle. Ethan is committed to a clean energy world. His ideas are very important and will contribute much towards the desire to move towards a zero-carbon emission world.
However, Ethan is not the first to try this concept of ion-propelled aircraft. Enthusiasts have been building lightweight aircraft which can fly but fail to stay much on air due to their power propulsion problems. However, Ethan’s concept is far more successful as the ion-propelled aircraft uses electrodes to generate wind with an adequate thrust to power an aircraft and maintain it in the air for a very long time (C, 2018). It is a working concept and will turn into reality in the future. Ethan says that the idea of ion-propelled aircraft currently sounds like fiction, but he says that this thing is real and potential to revolutionize the air industry.
Ethan’s patent is specific. It indicates that it is an ion-powered vehicles with its own power supply. Ethan was assisted through the Ohio Patent Pro bono program, where a group of volunteer attorneys and Case western reserve university collaborated to help inventors, startups, and companies secure their intellectual property rights and patents. Ethan currently has a working prototype of the ion-powered vehicle and is planning to invest in the project and make it a reality in the coming years. He is fully dedicated to the project and very optimistic about its potential.
Ethan has been working with Brian and Rich, who are attorneys from the Ohio Patent Pro bono program to make file patent applications for his ion-powered vehicle concept. The attorneys also helped Ethan establish a formal company Electron Air LLC and started looking for potential investors for his ion-powered vehicle concept. Ethan was born in Ohio and schooled in Ohio. He studied electrical engineering in college. However, he did not pursue his career built; instead chose to focus on his project of inventing an ion-powered vehicle. He is also a music teacher at Strongsville Academy, which helps him to sustain his life.

– One of the main issues is that the aircraft has a very low degree of redundancy. This means that if one component fails, then the aircraft will not be able to fly.
– Additionally, DJI Tello has a very small battery capacity, which can also lead to instability.
– Finally, the aircraft has a very low reliability, which means that it is not likely to stay in the air for a long time.
DJI Tello drone not stable and sometimes it will stop working completely in midair. There have been a number of reports of Tello drones crashing shortly after takeoff, often due to lost control or unexpected flying issues.
How Do You Calibrate a Tello Drone?
If you’ve ever flown a DJI Tello drone, you know that it can be very finicky about staying stable in the air. This can make it difficult to take good photos or videos, and can even cause the drone to crash. So how do you calibrate the Tello drone so that it flies more stable?
There are a few things you can do to improve the stability of your Tello drone.
– First, make sure that you have properly installed the propellers and batteries. If they are not correctly attached or if they are not of good quality, then your drone will be less stable in the air.
– Second, keep your camera pointed down at all times while flying. This will help to keep your aircraft more stable while in flight.
– Finally, use a controller that is specifically designed for drones like the DJI Tello. These controllers often have features that help stabilize flights, and they are generally easier to use than those found on standard controllers.
Why Is My Tello Drone Not Working?
One common issue that can occur with drones is a lack of battery power. This can happen for many reasons, such as drained batteries due to in-flight use or poor battery management.
If your drone is not working properly because of a low battery, it might be necessary to charge the battery before using the drone again.
What Happens When Tello Loses Signal?
When a Tello drone loses signal, it will generally start flying in a random direction and eventually crash. This can be dangerous if you are nearby as the drone could fly into you or something else nearby.
To prevent this from happening, make sure to keep your Tello in close proximity to a strong signal at all times. This can be done by placing the drone near a window or an antenna, for example.
How Do You Calibrate the Center of Gravity On A Tello Drone?
Step 1: Choose a drone that you are comfortable flying.
Step 2: Disable the propellers and remove the battery.
Step 3: Place a ruler on the ground so that its edge is touching one of the propellers.
Step 4: Push the drone upward until its center of gravity is located over the propeller.
Step 5: Release the drone and it will automatically fly back to the ground.
How Do I Update the Firmware on My Tello Drone?
If you are having trouble with your Tello drone’s firmware, there are a few different ways to update it. You can either connect your drone to a computer using the provided USB cable, or you can use the Tello app to update the firmware remotely.
The first option is probably the easiest, but requires that you have access to a computer with internet connection. To update the firmware using this method, first connect your drone to the computer using the provided USB cable.
Once connected, open up the Tello app and select “Update Firmware.” On the next screen, select “Firmware Update from Computer.” You will now be prompted to enter your drone’s serial number. Next, click “Next” and wait for the firmware update process to complete.
If you want to update your firmware remotely, you will first need to download and install the Tello app onto your smartphone or tablet. After installing the app, open it up and select “My Drones.” On this page, you will see all of your registered drones listed along with their associated serial numbers. Next, locate and select your drone from this list and click on its image icon. This will
Is Tello Drone Waterproof?
DJI Tello is not waterproof and should not be used in wet conditions. This drone does not have a weatherproofing system, so users should avoid flying it in rain or snow. If the drone gets wet, the electronics may become damaged.
What Class Is Tello Drone?
The Tello drone is a basic quadcopter that is perfect for beginners. It has four propellers and can fly up to 50 mph. It’s easy to control and can be flown indoors or outdoors. The camera can take good photos and videos, but it does not have the best quality.
How Far DJI Tello Can Fly?
DJI Tello is a new drone that was released in early 2018. It is one of DJI’s smallest drones, and it is designed for indoor use. DJI Tello can fly up to 50 meters (164 feet) away from you, and it has a range of up to 5 kilometers (3 miles). However, DJI Tello is not as stable as some of DJI’s other drones. So, if you are looking for a drone that can fly farther away from you, DJI Tello might not be the best choice for you.
Why Is the Tello App Not Working?
There are a few potential reasons why the Tello app might not be working for you.
– First, make sure that you’re connected to the internet and that your device is properly charged. If those things are good and the app still isn’t working, it could be that the Tello transmitter is not stable.
– This means that it might not be able to send or receive signals very well, which could lead to problems with your device or with the connection between your device and the transmitter.
– In some cases, this issue can be fixed by resetting your transmitter or by adjusting its distance from your device. If none of these fixes work, then it might be best to contact Tello support for help. | aerospace |

189 people recently died in a tragic crash. The crew and passengers of Lion Air JT610 on board a brand new Boeing 737 MAX 8 never had a chance.
The less than three months old plane had a new software in it. They called it MCAS or Maneuvering Chracteristics Augmentations System. MCAS was a system that didn’t exist in any of the Boeing 737’s before. However, when they built the 737 MAX version, in layman’s term, they built the plane with a larger and more efficient engine.
However, this larger engine, which delivered a further 14% fuel efficiency had to be fitted further forward under the low wings of the 737. This potentially may cause the plane to stall. Stalling is bad. It is basically when a plane stops flying and starts falling.
In order to avoid this, Boeing installed the new MCAS software. This software is designed to tell the plane to move its nose down to increase its speed and avoid it from stalling.
So here comes the problem.
In the computer world, we have this term called GIGO. The old school fella’s will know this. Yes. Garbage In, Garbage Out.
The problem based on the findings so far is this.
On the plane there is a sensor called the Alpha Vane which measures the Angle of Attack (AOA) of the plane. It looks like a small little wing, and they have two of it, one on the pilot side, and the other on the co-pilot’s.
The sensor’s job is to tell the computer the angle the plane is flying at. And if the AOA of the plane is too high, this will result in the plane stalling. Typically the AOA is below 15 to 20 degrees, and the new MCAS software will push the plane’s nose down if it thinks that the AOA is too high.
With flight JT610, the Alpha Vane sensor measuring the AOA on the Captain’s side was reported to be faulty. So they changed it. That fault was reported from the equally harrowing flight from Bali to Jakarta.
On the fateful final flight, the plane which arrived from Bali the night before, had the sensor changed, and then it took off in the morning.
No one knew what was really wrong with the plane, or about the new MCAS software. No one. Not the maintenance folks, and in fact not even the pilot. He apparently wasn’t trained on it yet.
So they flew the plane.
And once in the air, the faulty sensor told the computer that the plane is stalling. The computer then, without the pilot ever knowing pushed the nose of the plane down further, while the pilot was trying to raise the plane.
In this battle between the pilot and the computer, the computer won. And the pilot, the crew, and the passengers lost and they died. The plane was too low, and the pilot didn’t have enough air to raise the plane and fly it.
The computer literally flew the plane into the ocean.
A few weeks later, Boeing issued an update on the plane, and informed that should the plane have an issue with it’s AOA sensors, one of the way to stop the computer was to switch it off!
Apparently 189 lives could have been saved, had the pilot knew about the software, and flipped a switch to turn it off.
A single simple switch was the difference between life and death.
I am still fuming thinking about this. A switch!
Computers are really going to be the end of us all, because while a man makes mistakes, to really, really screw up; you need a computer!🤔😄 | aerospace |

Light-weighting is a perpetual design driver for any industry featuring heavy moving machinery, typical examples being the aviation and space industries. In the case of the aviation industry, lighter aircraft are more fuel efficient, more economical for airlines and less polluting for the environment. Similarly, in the space industry the structural mass of a rocket determines how much payload can be carried into orbit. In both cases, the basic calculus is the same: every additional kilogram of vehicle structure required to sustain the flight loads translates into more fuel required to travel the same distance. Increasing the amount of fuel carried by the vehicle comes at the cost of reduced payload and greater fuel consumption. Reducing the structural mass of aerospace vehicles is thus a crucial part of optimising performance and making the industry more environmentally friendly.
Generally speaking, the three predominant light-weighting strategies are: (i) designing more slender structures (e.g. thin-walled shells); (ii) using advanced, high-performance materials (e.g. carbon-fibre reinforced plastics); and/or (iii) making structures multifunctional (e.g. shape-adaptive behaviour). These three light-weighting strategies lead to mechanical behaviour that is increasingly complex and nonlinear. For example, thin-walled structures easily buckle or collapse when placed in compression and shape-adaptive structures are designed to snap dynamically between different shapes. In both cases, elastic instabilities govern the behaviour of the structure – for a benefit in the latter and to a detriment in the former.
My research focuses on developing computational and experimental techniques that allow engineers to better understand and then prevent, or utilise, elastic instabilities in engineering design. As part of this, I am investigating the use of tow-steered composites, which is a technology pioneered at the University of Bristol that allows carbon fibres to be steered in curved trajectories. Using this technology, we can place stiff or compliant material where it is ideally needed, either to prevent deleterious buckling instabilities, or to enhance beneficial shape adaptation. Furthermore, tow-steering allows engineers to smoothly blend material stiffness between different regions to distribute internal loads in a way only previously seen in biological structures. The Philip Leverhulme Prize funds will allow my research team to investigate biologically inspired, shape-adaptive structures that use material blending and elastic instabilities to achieve several different morphologies. | aerospace |

Fifty years on, remnants from the 1969 Apollo 11 moon landing are still visible on the moon’s surface, essentially frozen in time.
Without the threat of wind and water erosion we’re used to on earth, even the footprints left behind by the Apollo 11 astronauts are believed to still be cemented into the moon’s surface.
Buzz Aldrin described the moon’s ‘magnificent desolation’ when he and Neil Armstrong became the first humans to ever set foot on the lunar landscape that had set untouched for 4.5 billion years.
The astronauts left behind ample evidence of their expedition, some scientific and some sentimental.
They set up a camera, Laser Ranging RetroReflector (LRRR) and Passive Seismic Experiment Package (PSEP) to send information back to earth in the future and ditched some of the gear used to collect samples loaded back onto the Eagle spacecraft – along with excrement that had accumulated on the journey.
They also displayed several commemorative items, including a family photo, mission patches, medals for fallen astronauts, a silicon disk with messages from world leaders and an American flag erected in the frozen terrain.
The lander stage of the Lunar Module (LM) is also still on the surface.
Five decades later many of those items are still visible in satellite images taken from NASA’s Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter, while no one has ever returned to the Apollo 11 site.
The clearest images of the Apollo 11 site were taken in 2011, showing the LRRR and its cover, the PSEP, the LM and the camera. The tracks the instruments made through the dust are also visible.
The American flag is no longer standing, having toppled to the ground the moment Apollo 11 lifted off.
Dennis LaCarrubba, who worked for the company that made the flag purchased off-the-shelf before the mission, said the nylon has since been bleached by the sun given that the moon has no atmosphere to protect it from UV rays.
‘Have you ever seen burnt newspaper from a fireplace? All the color is gone and everything,’ LaCarrubba told The Atlantic. ‘That’s probably what the flag would look like now.’
While the first flag isn’t visible in satellite images, other flags placed at later Apollo landing sites appear to have been bleached as well.
For years scientists thought the sun exposure would destroy the flags completely, but the photographs taken in the last decade show that the emblems endured.
LROC’s cameras don’t capture enough detail to make out astronauts’ boot prints, many of which were likely erased in the liftoff blasts. | aerospace |

Fly-in fly-out (FIFO) workers in Queensland will have more flights available to them in the coming month, as Qantas increases its number of aircraft.
The company is expected to receive new Bombardier Q400 aircrafts, which are faster and larger than the smaller aircrafts they will replace and can seat 72 passengers.
The company has received 22 of the new aircraft, with another six expected in the next 18 months.
In December, Qantas announced it had†bought the charter airline Network Aviation, to meet the demands of the mining industry.
Extra flights into mining areas are in the works, with nine additional weekly flights set out for the Moranbah resource hub, an increase of 86 per cent.
The flights from Brisbane to Moranbah will run every weekday except Wednesday and Qantas has also promised the Moranbah airport`s upgrades will be complete when the new planes arrive.
The number of flights from Brisbane to regional areas Barcaldine, Blackall, Bundaberg, Emerald, Gladstone, Hervey Bay, Longreach, Mackay, Rockhampton and Roma will also be increased.
Qantas subsidiary, QantasLink has been in a battle with Virgin Blue to provide for the booming resource industry`s needs this year.
Virgin Blue`s partnership with regional airline Skywest will begin flights in a few months.
Perth Airport, one of the major city centres for FIFO workers has also designed a special fly-in fly-out terminal in consultation with Rio Tinto and BHP Billiton. | aerospace |

Dropping 5000 Falling Stars over the festival's 'Gardeners'
NEWSUBSTANCE approached the Secret Garden Party (SGP) with our Falling Stars product to offer them an innovative branding/communications solution to promote next year’s Festival whilst complimenting their Saturday night Spectacle.
5000 units – including 200 golden tickets for 2015 – were dropped from c.800ft over some 30,000 ‘Gardeners’.
The LED and associated synthetic ‘sycamore’ wing was developed to reduce mass and increase aerodynamics as they were dispensed. In partnership with R5 Air Displays and the welcome co-operation of the CAA General Aviation Unit (GAU) a series of drop trials were conducted in conjunction with specialised pilot training.
NEWSUBSTANCE then worked closely with SGP’s Non-Musical Entertainment team to design the most effective execution to suit the site and compliment the wider Spectacle creative. Using a Powered Paraglider (PPG) flown by our specially trained pilot, 5000 Falling Stars were deployed from c.800ft spinning gently down over the crowd to stunning effect as the finale to the Saturday night Spectacle.
NEWSUBSTANCE made a small piece of UK aviation history at the Secret Garden Party Festival as the first people ever to be granted permission to fly PPG’s at night and drop articles. All in all it was a huge success with both ‘Gardeners’ and Festival organisers alike.
Falling Stars was a smash hit at this year’s Festival. I was torn between watching the stars spin magically to the ground and watching the amazing reaction of Gardeners all around me. NEWSUBSTANCE delivered an extraordinary piece and we’re delighted that together we made a little piece of history. | aerospace |

This is a marvelous opportunity to make your visit to Spain a memorable, a once in a lifetime occasion, moving with the wind on a great, relaxing and peaceful journey with no noise apart from the quiet whisper from the burner and the sounds from the countryside below.
ABOUT THE HOT AIR BALLOON…
Hot air balloon ride, a safe way to fly
Ballooning is the oldest form of flying. Since the first flights in 1783, the hot air balloon remained almost unchanged, although its technology and materials have advanced significantly in time. Today, riding a balloon is no longer a flight into the unknown, but one of the safest ways of flying.
Who invented the first hot air balloon?
In 1783, two French brothers showed up a new invention – the hot air balloon – to a crowd in Annonay, France. Joseph-Michel and Jacques-Étienne Montgolfier have experimented before with some lighter-than-air devices after they noticed that heated air directed to a bag made that bag rise. After several tests, the brothers decided to demonstrate their invention in public.
How was the hot air balloon?
The Montgolfiers brothers made up a balloon out of silk. This balloon had about 33 feet (10 meters) in diameter and they launched it (with nobody aboard) from the marketplace in their village according to Encyclopedia Britannica. The first hot air balloon rose between 5,200 and 6,600 feet (1,600 to 2,000 m) and remained in the air about 10 minutes while it was traveling. This was the first hot air balloon flight in history.
WHO MADE THE FIRST HOT AIR BALLOON?
The French brothers Joseph and Jacques Etienne Montgolfier are the inventors of the hot air balloon
These two guys thought that it was the smoke that helped their balloon to rise. So, they initially filled the balloon with dense smoke. Then they realized that what was rising the hot air balloon was the hot air.
An interesting fact: The first public flight of a hot air balloon was in 1783, in Annonay, France. That balloon rose to a height of 1,000 meters, and went up in the air about 2 km.
The first hot air balloon has been destroyed when landing by some local peasants because it was flying over and landed in their fields.
HOW TO MAKE A HOT AIR BALLOON
The invention of hot air balloons became successful for some scientific reasons. A long time ago research informed that cold air is heavier than the warmer air. So, if you put a flame that lights the area underneath the balloon, the air in it becomes very hot. Besides, the air that surrounds the balloon is colder and it has more weight and density that the air inside it. This difference of temperature makes possible for the balloon to rise.
To have some fun, you can have your own homemade hot air balloon on a small scale. For instance, you can recreate the hot air heating part and the gondola with a candle and aluminum foil. Grab two separate rolls of aluminum foil and then tape a candle in the middle of this structure you just joined. Then place a bag over it and when the candle is lit, the bag will rise due to the heat.
About the hot air balloon basket
The basket is the bottom part of the balloon. This part carries the passengers, pilot and propane gas cylinders. Baskets come in a variety of different shapes and sizes, some can even carry 20 or more people!
The basket must be very strong as a structure as it is constantly on the move. In order to be easier to handle, the flexibility of the cane helps with the balloon landing as wicker material flexes a little, absorbing some of the impact energy.

Recent advancements in the autonomous vehicle industry and drone technology are introducing society to new forms of transportation. You might be wondering, who is actually working on this technology and what does it even mean to work in the industry of flying cars?
Bernd Rietberg, a Flying Car and Autonomous Flight Engineer Nanodegree program graduate, can tell you a lot about the flying car industry. He is on the Silverwing team that just made it to the final round of Boeing’s GoFly challenge. We had a chance to sit down with him and learn about how he and his team are pioneering the next form of transportation.
How has your learning and career journey led you to flying cars?
As a kid, I always wanted to be an inventor. When I was 6, my dad told me that was called being an ‘engineer’. So I tried my hardest to remember that difficult word –Engineer!I would repeat that to myself late at night.
That interest and curiosity stuck with me through my childhood. When I went off to university, I chose to major in physics, which was incredible; I loved the broad nature of this field and its applicability in every form of engineering. I decided to enroll in a master’s program for Applied Physics, which I graduated top of my class from a couple of years ago.
With a background in physics, my first job out of school was actually as a physics teacher. What better way to engrain your knowledge than to share it with others. During that time, I also set up a small startup, which led me to find my true passion: connecting technology with entrepreneurship.
I began working at TNO, an applied research institute, where I focused on bringing my physics background to disruptive high-tech systems in sustainable mobility.
I still work there, now at the defense research unit, which investigates counter drone systems and utilizes drones for reconnaissance, among other things.
Working in the mobility industry has kept me curious about drones. Last year, I began noticing an acceleration in the development of flying cars. I grew excited about the complexity of developing this technology and integrating it into society today. As a physicist, I really enjoy complex problems that require a multitude of disciplines.
2. What motivated you to enroll in Udacity’s Flying Car Nanodegree program?
I started reading more about the electrification of flight and flying cars in general. I was studying several disruptive mobility systems, such as the Hyperloop, self-driving taxis, drones, and avatars when I stumbled upon the Flying Car Nanodegree program. The course content was very similar to the topics I had been researching and this seemed like a great way to dive deeper, beyond research, and actually obtain flying car related skills. At the same time, I was a bit nervous. The projects were beyond my current skill set and the projected time commitment in tandem with a full-time job seemed like a challenge. I weighed the options and decided to go for it.
It was a great decision. Indeed, it was a big challenge to do alongside my job, but it brought me so much in terms of my programming skills, network, and mindset.
3. You’re now working to build a flying car with Team Silverwing, how did this evolve?
When I enrolled in the Flying Car Nanodegree program, I was immersed in a new community of like-minded engineers. I was also able to implement some of my Nanodegree program skills in my current role, specifically researching the integration of flying taxis into society.
Through the network of engineers working on flying cars, I ended up hearing about this extremely cool student team here at the TU Delft called Silverwing. This team was actually attempting to build a flying car themselves with the hope of winning the Boeing GoFly challenge.
I was immediately interested––this seemed like a great opportunity. I thought to myself: “How cool is it to actually try to build a massive fixed-wing drone?”
4. What is Silverwing’s main objective?
The team’s vision is to accelerate the road towards personal, electric and autonomous aviation. By joining the Boeing GoFly challenge, we will show the world that mobility is ready for the next revolution: safe, reliable, and quiet personal air mobility. We’ve already won the first two rounds of the challenge, and we hope to win the finale next year as well.
Silverwing is building a one-person, fully autonomous, electric, fixed-wing drone for the Boeing GoFly challenge. Our system kinda looks like a flying motorcycle. The interesting thing about our design is that it actually lands on its tail, like a rocket. This allows it to be super efficient for each stage of flight: During Vertical Take-off and Landing, it requires less energy and produces less sound; and during cruise, it utilizes the wings to provide lift – allowing it to stay aloft a lot longer. We don’t use seperate propellers or rotate the propellers for liftoff and landing, but actually rotate the entire vehicle. This makes it more aerodynamically optimized, reduces weight, and improves reliability.
Winning the Boeing GoFly Challenge will help us achieve this goal. After the competition, we will further develop our prototype into a scalable, manufacturable product for several applications and industries.
5. What is your role within the team?
My role as Lead Business Developer is to think about the future of Silverwing after the Boeing GoFly Competition. Can we find use cases for our drone, or continue to develop our drone for commercial applications? Would cargo transport be a better first option? And for which markets might an autonomous VTOL (Vertical Take-Off and Landing) heavy-payload drone be interesting?
6. Silverwing has made it to the final round of Boeing-sponsored GoFly competition, what does this mean for the team?
It’s a huge accomplishment. We’re amongst the best now, and I think we stand a chance to win. I’m incredibly proud of our team: we’ve gone from 8 people and a mere drawing on paper to 35 people with full-scale model production in less than a year.
Our design is the best but the final competition is tough. We’re up against people and companies with decades of experience.
7. In your opinion, what is the future of flying cars? What is the most important aspect of achieving this future?
The future is challenging. My prior job focused on researching the societal integration of the future of disruptive mobility systems. From a vehicle perspective, it’s definitely technologically possible within a couple of years. But from a societal implementation standpoint, there are still many challenges. Developing air traffic management systems, infrastructure changes, safety procedures, rules and regulations, certification, public acceptance, partnerships…those are all slow processes in innovation, especially in aviation.
We’re already seeing semi-autonomous heavy-payload drones being used for cargo and agriculture. I think we will see tests of autonomous passenger services with VTOL Aircraft traveling between existing helipads and airports within a couple of years. Next, we’ll see tests with VTOL services between nearby cities, in countries where legislation is quicker to adapt. But scaling this to dozens of landing platforms within cities and hundreds of flying taxis is in my view at least a decade off.
Of course, certain countries and cities will be quicker to adopt, so you might be lucky in San Francisco 😉

Bel Air | August 31, 2020
The COVID-19 crisis forced Americans into long-term isolation for an indeterminable amount of time. Bel Air Investment Advisors invited astronaut Dr. Garrett Reisman to discuss with its guests ways to live meaningfully in isolation. Dr. Reisman, selected by NASA in 1998, flew on missions with the Endeavor and Atlantis space shuttles and served aboard the International Space Station.
During the virtual event, Dr. Reisman explored several tools astronauts use to manage the anxiety, uncertainty, and loneliness that can emerge during extended periods of isolation. Among the many pieces of advice he shared, Dr. Reisman emphasized how important it is to stay busy. Few things can add to the hardships of isolation more than not having anything to do. Secondly, Dr. Reisman promoted the idea of expeditionary behavior. It is important to demonstrate leadership and fellowship, to communicate well with those around you, and to do intentional acts of self and team care. Additionally, Dr. Reisman advised that everyone that lives with others should have a dedicated personal space where they can have privacy and time alone. Conversely, it is also important that people reach out to others and intentionally stay in touch with those outside their bubble so in order to maintain human connections.
This exclusive event was part of Bel Air’s ongoing Conversations series that works to connect its community to unique and memorable events. Bel Air brought the event to guests virtually as a way to continue to strengthen their community while under Stay at Home directives. | aerospace |

The carrier will also launch Manchester to Orlando flights on December 11 ahead of âambitiousâ transatlantic flight plans from Dublin and Manchester in 2022.
Services were previously scheduled to start on September 30, but were delayed due to continued restrictions on travel to the United States.
Aer Lingus operates the new service using Airbus A321LR single-aisle aircraft with 16 business class reclining seats and 168 economy cabin seats.
In 2022, it intends to operate more than 71 direct routes to 62 destinations as it reconstitutes its network, including 16 transatlantic routes from Dublin and Manchester. It operated more than 100 lines in 2019.
The launch of Manchester-New York flights âmarks a very important day for Aer Lingus as we launch our first flights from the UK to the US as we reclaim and expand our transatlantic network,â said Reid Moody, responsible for strategy and strategy of Aer Lingus. planning officer.
Karen Smart, Managing Director of Manchester Airport, added: âIt’s incredibly nice to see Aer Lingus launch its service to New York, which will give passengers more choice when they want to travel to one of our most popular destinations.
âAer Lingus’ transatlantic routes will undoubtedly be extremely popular with the 22 million people who live in our catchment area, especially now that the United States has opened up to British travelers. | aerospace |

The U.S. has openly stated that a drone did in fact land in Iranian territory, but opted neither to retrieve, nor to destroy the drone. In fact, the U.S. government claimed the drone crashed and all that was left was a “pile of rubble.”
So, either Iran is airing images of an intact U.S. drone that is faux to attract attention and promote anti-American propaganda or Iran is airing images of an intact U.S. drone that is REAL and appears to be in great condition. Let’s assume it’s real.
- Iran employs the technology into their own
- Iran sells the technology to China or Russia – who then breaks it down, employs it into their technology, and then sells it back to Iran – Ikea style.
Suppose we say that the U.S. intentionally crashed the RQ-170 in Iran – intact and operational – what would be the strategic value of that? Remember – it was NOT important enough to send in Seal Team 6 or whomever, which means the U.S. government really thought it was destroyed or really wanted Iran to possess it.
Israel is probably sweatin’ it a little.

The Policy covers 22 facets of Indian civil aviation including maintenance, repair and overhaul operations, ground-handling, security and customs. ‘Regional Connectivity’, being a key focus-area, the Policy encourages the development of regional airports and airstrips, provides incentives to airline operators to fly to less connected sectors and provides for a cross-subsidy between popular routes and regional routes.
Additionally, the erstwhile ‘5/20 Rule’ which provided that an Indian airline could operate on international routes only if it had previously operated for a period of five years on domestic routes and had a fleet of at least 20 aircraft, has been liberalised by permitting all airlines to commence international operations, provided that they deploy at least 20 aircraft or 20% of total capacity, whichever is higher, for domestic operations.
Other significant changes include the implementation of ‘open sky agreements’ (permitting Indian operators to launch both passenger and cargo flights to and from a range of countries), development of greenfield and brownfield airports by the private sector, State governments and/or by a public-private-partnership, promotion of air cargo services to further the ‘Make in India’, e-commerce and export policies of the Government. | aerospace |

All seem to be easy when the plane is controlled as it flies in the air, yet a lot of work is actually required to be done before the RC planes are ready to take off. There are several things that you need to understand about RC planes so you can effectively fly and operate them.
Available Kinds Of Planes
There are different kinds of planes you can find and which of them to operate will depend on the skill level you have as an operator. There are Trainers or planes that are especially designed with durability and flight stability. Such planes are specifically used by beginners. Once your skills become better, you can get more challenging airplanes like the Aerial Acrobatics.
These model airplanes are also available in different prices and costs. Brand new planes can be bought for as low as $40 or as high as more than $1,000. Beginners are advised not to spend too much on their first planes. A budget of $40-100 will be reasonable for beginners.
Other Things Needed
Model planes come in kits that contain all essential parts of the toy. When buying your airplane kit, always look for the list of components included in the package so that you can check if all these parts are indeed inside your kit. Most airplanes for beginners are ready to fly; you just need to load the transmitter up with proper batteries (usually AA batteries). If you need to assemble the airplane, you will need some hand tools handy as well. It is up to you to decide if you will buy readymade planes or those that you still need to assemble.
In order to fly the plane, you need to familiarize yourself with the channels on your controller. Each channel has a specific function for flying the RC plane. A controller may have two channels; one for the propeller and the other for the back rudder for the Yaw movement (left or right turn)). There are also transmitters with three channels. One is for the throttle, another is for the rudder; and the last is for the elevator so the plane can perform the Pitch (up or down). There are also four-channel transmitters. The first three channels are similar to that of a three-channel transmitter; while the last channel is for controlling ailerons. Ailerons are effective means to better turn the airplane. Other transmitters also have more channels to control the flaps or the landing gear.
Needed Flying Area
It can be difficult to determine how much space is really required; but ideally, the bigger the size of the plane, the more space will be needed. In most cases, the size of soccer or baseball fields will be enough to fly the planes appropriately. If you attempt to fly your plane in smaller areas with various obstructions, the plane might crash and get damaged.
Wind direction has an influence on how efficient your plane can fly. Thus, as an RC plane pilot, you also need to know how the wind direction may be determined and utilized when operating your toy. You can throw grass clippings or light materials to the air to know where they will be blown. As much as possible, do not launch against the direction of the wind. Taking off the plane perpendicular to the blowing wind is not advised for beginners who are still not very skilled at controlling the plane under such circumstances. | aerospace |

After many years with boots on the ground, she decided to apply and successfully made it through training to become a Smokejumper. This unique “mode of transport,” where she gets to jump out of a perfectly good airplane on a parachute to fight wildland fire, sparked her desire to fly the aircraft she jumps out of now. Her dream is to become the pilot of these aircraft and fill a different role while staying involved with the wildland fire community that she loves. While continuing to fight wildland fire in the summer, Ashley pursues here ratings in the winter when wildland fires are less frequent.
In June of 2016, Ashley was part of the six founding members who created the MYL High Flying Club in the small town of McCall, Idaho where she lives. The club now owns two planes and is at full capacity with 15 members. Along with the club, Ashley has helped teach at the Flying Companion Seminar through the 99s and loves being involved at the Women in Aviation conference each year!
Ashley feels blessed and is so thankful to have been chosen for the Dare to Dream Scholarship! It never fails to amaze her the generosity and willingness to help that the aviation community offers. She hopes to be able to give back in a similar capacity someday. Thank you! | aerospace |

The Hong Kong-listed warehouse developer and fund manager announced late last week that it has begun working with UK drone development startup VRCO to establish the tech program as a way to explore building a fleet of automated drones to accelerate and streamline delivery of cargo by air.
“The ability to move high value, time sensitive cargo directly from our distribution centre to its destination presents a significant value proposition for ESR’s tenants and operators,” ESR co-founder and co-chief executive Stuart Gibson said in a statement.
The company plans to develop the concept for its cargo drone program at its ESR Higashi Ogishima Distribution Centre, a 365,385 square metre (3.9 million square foot) project that it began building earlier this month, with plans to expand the program to other facilities in Japan and across the region.
Testing Drone Potential
The goal of ESR’s collaboration with VRCO, a five-year old startup aimed at developing electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) aircraft, is to validate how ESR’s tenants can use eVTOL airframes to transform the movement of commercial cargo from warehouses, the company said in its statement.
Part of the cooperation will be establishing a command centre at the Higashi Ogishima facility which will enable delivery firms to manage air transport of cargo under all weather conditions and at varying volumes of demand. Key to the program is a flight infrastructure modelling system developed by VRCO under its Future of Flight simulator division, which will allow for testing potential drone applications.
“VRCO’s Future of Flight modelling and Simulation capability will aid ESR to make informed decisions with regard to the definition and adoption of eVTOL services along with the understanding of the required investments and adaptions to existing and future ESR properties to best leverage this,” ESR’s Gibson added.
The collaboration with VRCO will be carried out through ESR’s Future Solutions Group, which evaluates how technological, economic and societal changes will affect the design and operation of ESR’s distribution facilities.
Adding to a Greater Tokyo SuperShed
ESR’s drone program at the Higashi Ogishima is one element of a battery of tech features being incorporated in the double-ramped, mega-shed, which at nine-storeys will be among Japan’s tallest when it is completed in March 2023.
The Warburg Pincus-backed company announced commencement of construction on the first phase of the facility near Tokyo’s Haneda Airport on 8 December, as the latest addition to its existing 3.4 million square metres of completed warehouses in the country.
The Higashi Ogishima distribution centre has been certified as Class S, the highest rank possible under Japan’s CASBEE ratings for green buildings, and will generate part of the electricity need for its tenants operations via sustainable sources.
Following ESR’s practice of making its facilities worker friendly, the distribution centre in Kanagawa prefecture’s Kawasaki ward will include a day-care centre and a worker’s lounge, as well as a bowling alley, conference facilities and a dining room with a private chef. | aerospace |

The possibility is not unthinkable, considering the educational requirements of becoming an astronaut have changed. In 1964, the requirement of being an astronaut was a Doctorate in medicine, engineering, or a natural science such as physics, chemistry or biology. This, combined with
required Engineering and Flight experience made the ability to be an astronaut, astronomically difficult.
But in the present, that requirement has dropped and the opportunities have widened. A person would only need a Bachelor’s degree in engineering, biological science, physical science, computer science or mathematics. Along with the degree, three years of related
professional experience or at minimum, a total of 1,000 hours of pilot-in-command time in jet aircraft is required.
Yet the drop in primary education does not affect NASA’s astronaut training program. The programs consist of classes that include sciences, medical emergencies, and public speaking. Also all astronauts must learn to work as a team by flying training jets and running simulations
to build teamwork and familiarise themselves with their equipment. Lastly, each astronaut candidate must go through survival training, a three day period spent in the wilderness to fend for themselves. A grueling task, but after that you will be able to become an astronaut. | aerospace |

It was a bright and sᴜnny day, and the plane was crᴜising smᴏᴏthly at 30,000 feet when sᴜddenly, ᴏᴜt ᴏf nᴏwhere, a flᴏck ᴏf birds appeared and started аttасkіпɡ the plane. The birds were һіttіпɡ the windshield, the engines, and the wings, caᴜsing the plane tᴏ ѕһаke and rattle viᴏlently.
Pilᴏt Jasᴏn immediately tᴏᴏk actiᴏn and tried tᴏ maneᴜver the plane away frᴏm the birds, bᴜt they kept cᴏming back, mᴏre аɡɡгeѕѕіⱱe than ever. He realized that he needed tᴏ find a way tᴏ cᴏntrᴏl the sitᴜatiᴏn qᴜickly, ᴏr the cᴏnseqᴜences cᴏᴜld be dіѕаѕtгᴏᴜѕ.
As he was trying tᴏ think ᴏf a sᴏlᴜtiᴏn, he nᴏticed a large flᴏck ᴏf birds standing in the distance, in a fᴏrested area. He knew that if he cᴏᴜld make it there, he might be able tᴏ land the plane safely and аⱱᴏіd any fᴜrther dаmаɡe.
With a calm bᴜt ᴜrgent vᴏice, he annᴏᴜnced tᴏ the cabin crew that they wᴏᴜld be making an emeгɡeпсу landing and instrᴜcted them tᴏ prepare the passengers fᴏr evacᴜatiᴏn. He alsᴏ cᴏntacted air traffic cᴏntrᴏl and infᴏrmed them ᴏf the sitᴜatiᴏn, reqᴜesting сɩeагапсe fᴏr an emeгɡeпсу landing.
As the plane apprᴏached the fᴏrested area, the birds were still аttасkіпɡ, bᴜt Jasᴏn managed tᴏ keep the plane steady and аⱱᴏіd any majᴏr dаmаɡe. He made a perfect landing ᴏn a nearby river, ᴜsing the water tᴏ slᴏw dᴏwп the plane and ргeⱱeпt it frᴏm crashing.
As sᴏᴏn as the plane саme tᴏ a stᴏp, the cabin crew qᴜickly initiated the evacᴜatiᴏn prᴏcess, helping passengers exіt the plane safely and swiftly. Despite sᴏme minᴏr іпjᴜгіeѕ frᴏm the bird ѕtгіkeѕ, all passengers and crew were able tᴏ evacᴜate safely and await гeѕсᴜe.
After the іпсіdeпt, Jasᴏn and his team were һаіɩed as herᴏes fᴏr their qᴜick thinking and excellent execᴜtiᴏn ᴏf the emeгɡeпсу landing.

Knox, B.P., Blachowicz, A., Palmer, J.M., Romsdahl, J., Huttenlocher, A., Wang, C.C., Keller, N.P., Venkateswaran, K. (2016) Characterization of Aspergillus fumigatus Isolates from Air and Surfaces of the International Space Station.. mSphere. 1(5).
ABSTRACTOne mission of the Microbial Observatory Experiments on the International Space Station (ISS) is to examine the traits and diversity of fungal isolates to gain a better understanding of how fungi may adapt to microgravity environments and how this may affect interactions with humans in a closed habitat. Here, we report an initial characterization of two isolates, ISSFT-021 and IF1SW-F4, of Aspergillus fumigatus collected from the ISS and a comparison to the experimentally established clinical isolates Af293 and CEA10. Whole-genome sequencing of ISSFT-021 and IF1SW-F4 showed 54,960 and 52,129 single nucleotide polymorphisms, respectively, compared to Af293, which is consistent with observed genetic heterogeneity among sequenced A. fumigatus isolates from diverse clinical and environmental sources. Assessment of in vitro growth characteristics, secondary metabolite production, and susceptibility to chemical stresses revealed no outstanding differences between ISS and clinical strains that would suggest special adaptation to life aboard the ISS. Virulence assessment in a neutrophil-deficient larval zebrafish model of invasive aspergillosis revealed that both ISSFT-021 and IF1SW-F4 were significantly more lethal than Af293 and CEA10. Taken together, these genomic, in vitro, and in vivo analyses of two A. fumigatus strains isolated from the ISS provide a benchmark for future investigations of these strains and for continuing research on specific microbial isolates from manned space environments. IMPORTANCE As durations of manned space missions increase, it is imperative to understand the long-term consequence of microbial exposure on human health in a closed human habitat. To date, studies aimed at bacterial and fungal contamination of space vessels have highlighted species compositions biased toward hardy, persistent organisms capable of withstanding harsh conditions. In the current study, we assessed traits of two independent Aspergillus fumigatus strains isolated from the International Space Station. Ubiquitously found in terrestrial soil and atmospheric environments, A. fumigatus is a significant opportunistic fungal threat to human health, particularly among the immunocompromised. Using two well-known clinical isolates of A. fumigatus as comparators, we found that both ISS isolates exhibited normal in vitro growth and chemical stress tolerance yet caused higher lethality in a vertebrate model of invasive disease. These findings substantiate the need for additional studies of physical traits and biological activities of microbes adapted to microgravity and other extreme extraterrestrial conditions. | aerospace |

Mission Control, This is Apollo Celebrates 40th Anniversary
I was 7 when Neil Armstrong stepped foot on the moon, and I was BIG into the space program at the time as were most kids I think. It's pretty exciting for me right now to read all of the stuff coming out for the 4oth anniversary of the landing. When I read Karen's post yesterday I thought I'd continue the theme with Mission Control, This is Apollo written by Andrew Chaikin and illustrated by Apollo astronaut Alan Bean.
Each chapter in the book follows a different Apollo mission from the tragedy on the launch pad of Apollo 1 to the triumph on the moon of Apollo 11 to the nerve racking flight of Apollo 13. Andrew Chaikin writes some of the well known facts and includes a lot of behind the scenes information that always fascinated me as a kid. Information like how the astronauts trained, how they eat and how they go to the bathroom in space. The book includes interviews with many of the astronauts that flew Apollo missions in which they not only talk about the science of their flights, but also their wonder at seeing an "Earthrise" from the moon. I was fascinated to read how inspired many of them were by the total desolation of the moon and silky smooth blackness of the sky around them. It's something only someone who has been there can appreciate. The whole book is written in a way that kids who love space and science will really get into and understand. The other part of the book, the pictures, will appeal to all kids.
After retiring from the space industry, astronaut Allan Bean became an artist, a painter. It was something he dabbled in and practiced all of his life, but in retirement he could devote time to it. Many of his paintings appear in the book, all of them are taken from actual events from Apollo missions some that he flew and some that he didn't. The process he uses is described in the back and I was intrigued by what he does to create his artwork. He adds texture to his work with the sole of the boots he wore on the moon and a geological hammer he used on the moon, but the really awesome thing is, that each of his space paintings include a little bit of the moon in them. Since he was unable to get any actual moon rocks from NASA, he ground up the patches from his flight suit that still had traces of moon dust on them, and he puts a bit of the dust in each of his painting. Go here for a detailed description of the process. In addition to that coolness, Alan Bean's paintings are beautiful, portraying the feeling of space in a way that only someone who has been there can.
This is a beautiful celebration of one of our country's proudest times and I can't wait to share it with the kids in the library. | aerospace |

Hydrogen fuel is seen as critical to decarbonizing air transport, with the potential to reduce aviation’s carbon emissions by up to 50%, according to Airbus (, which is also exploring its potential. )
A six-seater Piper Malibu M350 flies with ZeroAvia’s powertrain at Cranfield, England in September.
ZeroAvia completed the world’s first hydrogen-powered flight of a commercial aircraft in September when a six-seat plane took off from its research and development facility in Cranfield, England and flew for about 10 to 15 minutes before landing.
It wants to go much further, saying Wednesday that it expects a flight of 250 miles — roughly the distance from London to Paris — in the next three months.
The company plans to commercialize its technology as early as 2023 with flights of up to 500 miles in aircraft of up to 20 seats, which are typically used in regional aviation and cargo transport. Within the next 10 years it intends to realize flights of over 1,000 miles in aircraft with over 100 seats.
Miftakhov said that more than 10 airlines are gearing up to implement the company’s technology in 2023.
“ZeroAvia’s zero-emission aviation powertrain has real potential to help decarbonize the aviation sector, and we hope this investment will further accelerate the pace of innovation to enable zero-emission air transport at scale,” Amazon’s vice president for worldwide sustainability Kara Hurst said in a statement.
Amazon’s investment was made through its Climate Pledge Fund, which it set up in 2019 to help it and other companies achieve net zero carbon emissions by 2040, 10 years ahead of the Paris climate agreement. To help reach its climate goals, Amazon will begin using electric vans to make deliveries next year.
Shell’s investment was made through Shell Ventures, which invests in renewable energy companies.

As commander of the Apollo 11 mission, Armstrong became the first human to set foot on the moon on
20 1969. As
he stepped on the dusty surface, Armstrong said: "That's one small step
for [a] man, one giant leap for mankind."
He once was asked how he felt knowing his footprints would likely stay on the moon's surface for thousands of years. "I kind of hope that somebody goes up there one of these days and cleans them up," he said. | aerospace |

I believe I'd last been there in the 1980s and the place has grown and improved. Although I started with a look inside, after learning that a guided tour would be starting in less than an hour, I decided to join the tour and also decided that my pre-tour time would be spent best outside. When I was last here, the outside Air Park held a lot more planes than it does now. Many of the airplanes and rockets that once sat outside are now inside the greatly expanded buildings. The first plane pictured is the "Hanoi Taxi", a Lockheed C-141 Starlifter that got its nickname from two 1973 flights to Hanoi, North Vietnam, to retrieve 78 newly released prisoners of war. Beyond the Starlifter's covered engine sits a Northop YC-125B Raider. Even with three engines, the 1948 airplane was underpowered and all were retired by 1955. The "Snoopy Nose" plane started out as a Boeing C-135 Stratolifter but was modified to carry radar and other telemetry equipment in support of the Apollo Program. This one, the last of the breed, was retired in 2000.
Then it was back inside for the start of the tour and a picture of what our guide called "Air Force One". That's not quite true not only because Air Force is an official designation for the plane carrying the president but also because this is an exact replica of the very first airplane purchased by the U. S. Army. The original is at the National Air and Space Museum in Washington, D.C. That guide, by the way, was Don Myer, a retired flyer with lots of knowledge and good stories. The photo is of the 1918 McCook Field wind tunnel and the 1916 Wright Brothers wind tunnel is also on display. That upside down Fokker Dr. I replica is suspended overhead. The aircraft in the group shot include a Kellett K-2/K-3 Autogiro, a Boeing P-12E, and a Curtiss P-6E Hawk. All are from the 1930s.
The mannequin in pajamas represents Lt. Phillip Rasmussen who was one of just eight U.S. pilots to get aloft during the bombing of Pearl Harbor. There was no time to get dressed. Rasmussen shot down one Japanese plane before landing a badly damaged Curtiss P-36A Hawk with more than 500 bullet holes. That's a womannequin standing in the cockpit of the Beech AT-10 Wichita. Women did not fly in combat during World War II but they did an awful lot of under-recognized and under-compensated flying back in the states. That's a Curtiss P-40E Warhawk in Flying Tiger garb with lots of other WWII aircraft behind it then a shot of our tour group heading towards a British built De Havilland Mosquito. "Bockscar" was named for its regular pilot, Captain Frederick C. Bock, but another crew, headed by Major Charles W. Sweeney, was on board when the Boeing B-29 Superfortress dropped the second and last atomic bomb ever used. When the "Enola Gay's" dropping of the "Little Boy" bomb on Hiroshima failed to bring about Japan's surrender, the decision was made to send off "Bockscar" and "Fat Man". The original target was Kokura but clouds and smog saved that city and "Bockscar" headed for the backup target, Nagasaki. A "Fat Man" replica sits next to the plane that delivered the real thing.
The last row starts with what I believe was the first thing I wanted to see on my very first visit to the museum. It's the MIG-15 that was flown out of North Korea in 1953 in exchange for $100,000 and a new life. I recall hearing the story as a kid -- maybe it was a hot topic for folks living within 50 miles of Wright-Patterson AFB -- and being fascinated by it. As a somewhat older kid, I remember hearing stories and rumors about the plane in the next picture, the SR-71A Blackbird. It could fly faster and higher than anything in existence and it was a secret for a long time. It seems, however, that most of those rumors were true. I don't have any information on the pictured rockets but can tell you they're in a very tall building. I do know that the Apollo 15 command module is here because that was the only Apollo mission with an all Air Force crew (Scott, Irwin, & Worden). The last picture is of the only B2 Stealth bomber on permanent display anywhere. The museum doesn't get anything until the Air Force is done with it and they got this non-flying airframe only after it had cracked in stress testing at 161% of design specifications. But, as Bruce says, "a little touch up and a little paint"
There are a total of six galleries at the museum. I compressed the first two, "Early Years" and "World War II", into five photos each and the other four, "Korean War", "Southeast Asia War", "Cold War", and "Missile & Space", into five photos total. That is high compression indeed. Hours could be spent in each gallery and we spent just two and a half jam-packed informative and entertaining hours on the whole place. Plus there's the National Aviation Hall of Fame, which I barely peeked into, and the IMAX theater, which I didn't even think about. This place deserves a day and could justify a whole lot more. And it's free.

From the principle of the rocket engine, it is actually simpler than the piston engine that is common in automobiles.
Its basic principle is Newton's third law, which we all learned in middle school. Force is the interaction between objects and objects.
If you throw a certain mass backwards at a certain speed, you will be thrust by a reaction force and accelerate forward.
A similar phenomenon is very common. For example, we put a balloon full of gas and untied it. The balloon is not the internal gas that will be ejected. "pupupu" flying around, right.
Therefore, the basic structure of the rocket engine is very similar to that of the open balloon. The internal combustion chamber, like the balloon body, contains a large amount of high-temperature and high-pressure gas generated by combustion, and then a nozzle is added to give the gas. When it is sprayed out, it can generate thrust.
But difficult to manufacture
Although the principle is very simple, it is not easy to make it.
Most of the performance of rocket engines comes from high temperatures, so the temperature inside the internal combustion chamber is very high, reaching 3,500 K.
What concept? More than 3,200 degrees Celsius, they are catching up with the temperature inside the core. This temperature has far exceeded the melting point of almost all nozzle and combustion chamber materials.
In addition to the temperature, the internal pressure of the rocket engine, the pressure of 10 to 200 bar, is far above the cylinder pressure of the engine of about 10 bar. Therefore, the material science and design requirements are very high.
Therefore, the cost of a rocket engine is very high and it is almost impossible to use it on a small, cheap car.
Rocket engine thrust is very large
The faster the rocket engine's exhaust speed, the greater the thrust. Quasi-high supersonic exhaust jets can be produced with specially designed nozzles. At sea level, the engine's exhaust velocity can easily reach 10 times the speed of sound.
Therefore, the thrust of the rocket engine is very large, and it is possible to push hundreds or even thousands of tons of heavy rockets to fly into the sky.
The most powerful liquid rocket engine in history, the RD-170 series, has a vacuum thrust of more than 800 tons.
The turbo pump used to transport the propellant to the combustion chamber is almost 257,000 horsepower, which is more than 2,000 times stronger than the engine of the family car.
The one used to drive a one or two tons of family cars is simply that the Hercules raised a small chestnut.
But it is difficult to adjust the direction
With such a powerful power, it has a drawback, that is, it is difficult to turn. After all, in principle, the rocket engine, which produces thrust directly, and then speeds up, it is difficult to turn through the tires.
Even with some vector control, the direction of the jet can be adjusted, and the rocket engine can't make the car smash in the streets.
It turned out to be "bang". Turn right at the first intersection, next traffic light, then turn left. Now you "boom" and go straight to the third intersection. How do you turn?
Will also affect other vehicles or pedestrians
In addition, high-temperature, high-pressure, high-speed exhaust jets that are directly injected backwards may also affect the rear vehicle.
As mentioned earlier, the internal combustion temperature of the rocket is 3,500 Kelvin and 3,200 ° C. These high-temperature gases are directly discharged.
The tail flame of a large rocket engine can even reach the fire of hundreds of meters. Even for a small rocket engine, the tail flame can reach a length of several meters.
It is like saying that there is a flamethrower behind the car, and anyone who dares to chase your tail, "boom", the car is burning.
In general, the rocket engine is specially used for the rocket to ascend into space. The linear thrust is indeed large, but it does not turn. It is not suitable for transportation in such streets and lanes, and the car behind it will be burned. | aerospace |

Our world came out of our solar system and the universe 4.5 billion years ago. Over the last half century we have learnt so much about the universe. It turns out to be more complex than we could have imagined - even the concept of a "uni"verse is now challeged. Was the so-called "big bang" a unique event? The more we discover - the more questions we raise - which all together builds an incredible story.
The Moon missions of the 1960's were trully inspiring - humans moving beyond the Earth for the first time, images of the Earth from our Moon and detailed images of the other planets in our solar system. The NASA space programmes pushed back the boundaries of technology and many the methods used today eg in Earth Observation were developed to meet the needs of that time eg mapping the Moon and Mars.
The Space section will highlight selected features from Earth Observation to the Moon, the planets, our solar system and beyond.

A drone is not just an instrument that you fly, but a piece of equipment that is a part of the drone.
You might see a drone being used for commercial, military, or law enforcement purposes, but the real power of a drone lies in its ability to operate autonomously.
The more you know about drone technology, the more you can customize it to suit your needs and needs of your needs.
The best part about drones is that they can fly for a long time.
There are a few drones that can last for up to six months.
The latest drone, the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter, is a stealthy, four-engine fighter jet that is capable of performing multiple missions in a single night.
With an engine of less than 2,500 pounds, the Air Force is not only making it more stealthy than the Lockheed Martin F-16, but it’s also capable of carrying much heavier weapons and payload.
This makes it an ideal drone for aerial reconnaissance and surveillance.
Drone technology is growing rapidly, and you can expect drones to be one of the key features in a lot of our future products.
Drone parts and sensors will be an integral part of drones, but there are a lot more options out there.
These drones will be able to perform the job of the most sophisticated drone in the world.
We can make drones that are able to fly for months, and those drones will need to be extremely flexible.
A good example of this is the Cessna 210.
This plane is a true workhorse, and is capable not only of flying long distances, but also of carrying payloads and payloads of various types.
You can see the C-210 at work in this video.
Other than the aircraft itself, there are also a number of different types of drones that you can buy.
You could buy a drone that can fly at high altitudes for aerial photography or surveillance, and then you can add a camera to it, and this drone will also be able perform other tasks that are not directly related to photography or surveying.
We’ve covered the different types and types of drone components before, but now it’s time to look at what we can expect to see in drones over the next five years.
This is the most important part of drone design.
You will be seeing a lot, if not the whole drone, in the future.
The next wave of drone technology is a lot like the one that we have seen in the last couple of years.
We’re not seeing a new drone, but we’re also not seeing many drones that don’t have some form of connectivity, like GPS or the like.
We may see some smaller drones that only have connectivity on the ground, but for the majority of the time, drones will still be a big part of our lives.
There is a large market for drones that will fly for many years, and we expect that to continue.
A lot of the drones that we see today, even if they are a bit less expensive, have a lot in common.
These are not the latest drone in terms of features, but they are the most efficient drones.
The same can be said for many of the other types of parts, like the propellers and the cameras.
If you look at the drone parts market, there is a great deal of overlap between drone technology and other consumer electronics.
The most common types of components are electronics, and a lot is made from plastics.
If we look at consumer electronics, we’re seeing many different types that are being used today.
This includes TVs, monitors, cameras, printers, speakers, microphones, etc. We see many of these things on our televisions and monitors, and even on the phones and tablets.
We also see a lot made of plastic.
It’s been shown that the plastic in a consumer electronics product can be used to make an object like a laptop case, which is why we see a large number of plastic-free consumer electronics products.
A common element that we find in consumer electronics is the need for an integrated circuit (IC).
We’re seeing this on many of our phones, tablets, and laptops today.
The first ICs you need to buy for your drone are usually small and low-power.
The IC that comes with the drone will be a microcontroller, or microcontroller with a logic level of 0 or 1, and the most common ones will come with 2, 4, or 8 microcontrollers.
These microcontors will have a programmable pin and are generally a single-chip design.
In addition to microcontorts, you can find chips for GPS, radio, and video cameras.
We’ll discuss how to get the most out of these in a bit.
You also need a battery for your drones, and for that you’ll need a solar cell.
There’s no need to worry about buying a solar battery because there are solar cells for your smartphone, and there’s also a battery pack for your phone.
The batteries will usually come | aerospace |

The United States Army has sponsored far fewer launches on the Eastern Range than either the Air Force or the Navy. Only about a tenth of the range's missile and space flights can be attributed to Army programs, versus more than a third sponsored by each of the other services. Nevertheless, numbers seldom tell the whole story, and we would be guilty of a grave disservice if we overlooked the Army's impressive achievements in the development of rocket-powered vehicles, missile guidance systems, and reentry vehicle technologies from the late 1940s onward. Several years of experimental flights were conducted at the White Sands Proving Ground before the Army sponsored the first two ballistic missile launches from Cape Canaveral, Florida, in July 1950. In June 1950, the Army moved some of its most important guided missile projects from Fort Bliss, Texas, to Redstone Arsenal near Huntsville, Alabama. Work began in earnest on the REDSTONE ballistic missile program shortly thereafter. In many ways, the early Army missile programs set the tone for the development of other ballistic missiles and range instrumentation by other military branches in the 1950s. PERSHING missile launches continued at the Cape in the 1960s, and they were followed by PERSHING 1A and PERSHING II launches in the 1970s and 1980s. This study begins with a summary of the major events leading up to the REDSTONE missile program at Cape Canaveral. It includes an overview of RAF Bomber Command's raid against Peenemunde in August 1943 and the U.S. Army's recruitment of Wernher von Braun and his 'hand-picked' team of rocket experts in 1945. It continues with a sketch of the Army's early missile projects at Fort Bliss, Texas, and the recommendations that shaped the REDSTONE missile. The study also provides detailed descriptions of flight performance objectives, missile specifications, launch locations, ground support equipment, range instrumentation, and the results of REDSTONE, JUPITER, JUNO II, PERSHING, PERSHING 1A, and PERSHING II operations on the Eastern Range. It concludes with the Intermediate Nuclear Forces (INF) Treaty signed on 8 December 1987 and the dedication ceremony that followed the final INF Treaty inspection at Cape Canaveral in May 2001. The history of Army missiles at the Cape has been a rich one, and we do well to acknowledge and remember it.

HILL AIR FORCE BASE — NASA engineers are testing a landing system that will bring Mars rock samples to Earth, dropping them on the Utah Test and Training Range.
A series of Mars Sample Return Earth Entry System drop tests conducted March 1-3 at the UTTR were a success, according to a NASA news release last week.
The orbital descent vehicle was outfitted with sensors and dropped from a helicopter at 1,200 feet above ground, giving it time to reach the intended landing speed.
The vehicle, referred to for this testing phase as the Manufacturing Demonstration Unit, “was very stable during descent — it didn’t wobble around a lot, and it landed successfully, in the sense that there was no structural damage and it survived impact as expected,” said Jim Corliss, the return system program’s chief engineer.
The program, being planned by NASA and the European Space Agency, proposes to return samples collected by NASA’s Perseverance Mars rover and land them at UTTR inside the reentry vehicle.
The March drop tests were a follow-up to tests at the UTTR with a smaller, less-detailed unit last year. The vehicle used this time was described as a full-scale unit, 1.25 meters wide, made of fabricated materials.
It’s important for the vehicle to land in a particular orientation, Corliss said, and the drop tests indicated the full-scale vehicle was stable during final descent, landing on its nose as engineers intended.
Further tests will be conducted this year. But Mars rocks won’t be landing in Utah anytime soon. A mission timeline shows the sample return lander and Earth return orbiter will be launched from Earth in 2026 and 2027, respectively. Samples would be returned to Earth in 2031.
The program envisions landing the vehicles at Mars’ Jezero crater, where Perseverance is collecting samples. A sample retriever rover, about the size of a golf cart, will load the samples onto the retrieval lander. The lander then will be loaded onto the Mars Ascent Vehicle, which will carry the lander and samples into orbit, for loading into a European Space Agency craft that will take the payload to Earth.
Thomas Mullican, a Hill AFB spokesperson, said the Air Force assisted NASA with the planning, execution and control of the testing. UTTR is managed by Hill and the Air Force.
The $1 billion, 12,500-square-mile UTTR is described by the Air Force as the U.S. military’s only location capable of supporting overland testing of cruise missiles. Crews also conduct air-to-air-combat, air-to-ground inert and live practice bombing, and gunnery training. Other agencies use the UTTR as well, such as when obsolete rocket motors from Northrop Grumman are detonated.
UTTR has a $30 million annual operating budget. About 200 military and civilian personnel are assigned there.

On this day in 1977 NASA launched the Voyager probes (1 and 2) to explore the outer solar system. These spacecraft are, in my opinion, one of humanity’s most impressive technological accomplishments. Unlike anything here on Earth, they are artefacts that shall endure long after we as a species have ceased to exist; a testament to the space-faring aspirations of a band of primates on a tiny planet in the corner of the Milky Way. The Voyager probes are marvels of scientific ingenuity and wonderful tributes to the foresight of the engineers and scientists that built them. They are pioneering scientific instruments that revolutionised our understanding of the outer planets and their moons, time capsules and timeless interstellar messengers.
After making several important discoveries about the properties of Jupiter and Saturn and their moons, and capturing the beautiful Pale Blue Dot image, Voyager 2 continued on to Neptune and Uranus whilst Voyager 1 was set on an interstellar escape trajectory and is currently approaching the edge of our solar system. At 118 astronomical units (AU) it is the furthest man-made object from Earth and is likely to pass through the heliosheath into the interstellar medium sometime between 2012 and 2015, at which point humanity will officially become an interstellar species.
The Voyagers remain in working order, albeit with many of their instruments offline, an impressive 34 years after launch. They still remain in radio contact with Earth and commands transmitted at light speed take approximately 16 hours to reach the probes. These weak tracking signals are 20 billion times more feeble than the electrical current passing through a standard digital watch. If Voyager 1 avoids collision (with micrometeorites and space debris) it will continue to wander through interstellar space forever and it is unlikely to be overtaken by any other conventional human spacecraft or probe. It will be 40,000 years before the lonely Voyager passes near another star when it comes within 1.6 light years of the enigmatic M-type star AC+79 3888 in the constellation Camelopardalis.
In around 5 and a half billion years from now the Sun will have ballooned into an enormous red giant and possibly consumed all of the inner planets, including the Earth. Humans will either have gone extinct or left the ageing Solar System long before our decaying Sun enters its final death throes. Even then, it is possible that somewhere in deep space the lonely Voyagers will continue to obediently sail through the depths of space and time on a mission lasting an eternity; a mission with no end and no more formal objectives. The probes will not decay in the vacuum of space and their form and technology will be preserved indefinitely, long after their instruments have stopped working.
It is also possible that in the very distant future the Voyager probe may be intercepted by an advanced alien civilisation, or even future humans or our descendants. It is with this remote eventuality in mind that the scientific team behind the probes, lead by Carl Sagan, attached the Voyager Golden Record (VGR) to the spacecraft. The VGR contains sounds and images designed to depict the diversity of life on Earth as well as the location the origin of the probes. The significance of the VGR as a message from humanity to the Universe was not underestimated by the scientific team or the leaders of the world at that time. An image included in the VGR is a message from the then U.S. President Jimmy Carter:
“This is a present from a small, distant world, a token of our sounds, our science, our images, our music, our thoughts and our feelings. We are attempting to survive our time so we may live into yours…”
Voyager 1 is therefore much more than just a spacecraft, it is an interstellar time-capsule and a messenger to the stars. Perhaps someday it will be the oldest surviving relic of a lost civilisation with great aspirations and a demonstrable foresight able to appreciate the scale of the Universe. The Voyager probes are as close to art as science can get. They are truly wonderful, eternal symbols of the best intentions of our species and the universalist philosophy of science.
Fly on Voyagers, fly on.

This may be attributed to higher fares and mandatory compliance with rigorous safety guidelines
An economy class seat on Lagos -Abuja and Abuja -Lagos route – the only one that operated on Wdnesday, went for between N29, 000 and N33,000.
Besides paying more, passengers had to comply with stricter check -in measures at the terminal buildings. The measures include mandatory checking of body temperature, disinfection of luggage, physical distancing during check-in procedure and others rolled out for flights by aviation authorities.
Arik Air, Air Peace, Max Air and Ibom Air Air operated flights out of the two domestic wings – General Aviation Terminal (GAT) and Murtala Muhammed Airport Terminal Two (MMA2) of the airport in Lagos, according to the NATION.
Meanwhile, the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) commended passengers for adhering to safety measures spelt out to mitigate the spread of the coronavirus.
FAAN Managing Director Rabiu Yadudu told reporters in Abuja, “The situation is looking very good just like we expected. It took a lot of planning and efforts from all sides; the airlines, the handlers, agencies, stakeholders and of course FAAN is the primary agent responsible in this facility.
” There were no issues with the passengers. We were worried about the planning we put into this because it is only a plan.

A couple of days ago, YouTube user flugsnug uploaded an incredible video showing an Emirates Boeing 777 landing and taking off on a gray, drizzly day. The bursts of clouds that follow the aircraft on approach and departure are phenomenal, with spectacular explosions of condensation forming above the wing and behind the flaps, as well as long streamers of moisture that extend off the wingtips of the jet. The wake that follows the aircraft spins existing clouds into intricate swirling patterns that radiate from the flight’s path.
If you have a seat overlooking the wing, it’s pretty common to see sudden bursts of condensation out your window as the aircraft ascends through a deck of clouds. The process that generates these clouds is the same one that allows the plane to fly in the first place.
The shape of an airplane’s wing allows it to generate lift by creating low pressure above the wing and high pressure below the wing. The lower pressure allows the air temperature to drop below that of the environment around it, often cooling it to the dew point on moist days; the dew point is the temperature at which the relative humidity will reach 100% and the air is completely saturated.
We see this effect all the time when we open a bottle of soda—the sudden drop in pressure inside the bottle allows the air temperature to drop as well, allowing a sudden cloud to form. When an airplane enters an area of very high humidity with a high angle of attack (the angle between the wing and the direction of the airflow—think of a plane landing with its nose tilted up a bit), the low pressure created on top of and around the wing can easily condense the moisture into short-lived clouds like those we see in the video.
The most noticeable formation is from the wingtip vortices behind the aircraft, which creates both streamers of condensation on either side of the plane and the dramatic swirls in the stratus clouds that are already looming above the ground.
While beautiful, these vortices create a dangerous phenomenon known as “wake turbulence,” which can be hazardous to aircraft following too close behind. The crash of American Airlines Flight 587 in Queens, New York, back in November 2001 occurred as a result of the copilot trying (too hard) to stabilize the aircraft after it flew through the wake turbulence of a Boeing 747 a few miles ahead.
If you ever have a chance to go watch planes one day and you’re directly beneath the path of landing aircraft, you can sometimes hear these vortices as a few seconds after the plane passes overhead. The noise they make can range anywhere from a hissing to a crackling to a loud whipping sound. | aerospace |

It’s impossible to have avoided the corporate crisis that dominated business in 2019: The Boeing 737 MAX.
When things go wrong midair, they can really go wrong. There’s not only the safety of everyone on board to consider but the safety of the untold numbers of people below. The stakes are perhaps higher — and more visible — than in any other transportation industry.
But in the case of the Boeing 737 MAX, the headlines are more than just about the tragic loss of the 189 people who died in the Lion Air Flight 610 crash into the Java Sea and the 157 people who died aboard Ethiopian Airlines Flight 302. They’re about what, exactly, went wrong at one of the United State’s biggest and most well-respected companies.
Boeing, which first went into business more than 100 years ago when William Boeing oversaw construction of Model C planes for the U.S. Navy in World War I, is today regarded as the world’s largest aerospace company, manufacturing commercial, private and military aircraft. And yet now, with two crashes under investigation, more than 100 lawsuits from families of those who died in the crashes and the grounding of its entire MAX fleet, Boeing faces what The Wall Street Journal called its “gravest threat … in its modern history.”
The story of the Boeing 737 MAX isn’t over yet. The company and the government agencies involved in the crash investigations still have work to do in deciphering exactly what went wrong, why it wasn’t fixed and what can be done to ensure safety standards are met or changed in the future. But what we can do now is start to piece together the lessons that lie in the mistakes that got Boeing to where it is now — and what, then, associations can learn from them.
Don’t cut corners.
Sometimes the expensive, time-consuming choice is the right one. Give yourself time to make sure your job is done right.
In producing the Boeing 737 MAX, engineers were given a directive to ensure pilots of earlier 737 models wouldn’t need new training, according to The Wall Street Journal.
“Our marching orders are no training impact on this airplane. Period,” Richard Reed, a former Federal Aviation Administration engineer said in an interview with the Wall Street Journal.
The minimal training meant pilots weren’t familiar with certain safety system protocols and details, and Boeing was actually incentivized to avoid the training thanks to a contract with Southwest Airlines that would have resulted in a $1 million per plane fee if the pilots required it. (Boeing told the newspaper it didn’t intentionally keep details from pilots.)
Things will go wrong. Own the mistake.
Things break. Websites crash. Deadlines get missed. Even something you spend a huge amount of time and money on can fail you.
Owning your mistakes shows members you respond to problems and are willing to listen to complaints.
Boeing faces what Vox called “a public relations nightmare” as a result of the government investigations and crashes. But as crisis management firm Caeli Communications founder John McDonald told that website, “Boeing did a really good job, initially, of saying, ‘We need to find out what’s happening. We’re going to work on this and figure it out.’”
Communication is key.
Internal communication, especially when you change procedure, is paramount to ensuring your members, customers and other external stakeholders are able to have a seamless experience whenever they interact with your organization. If something changes but a staffer hasn’t gotten the memo, you’ve introduced a way for things to go wrong. | aerospace |

Riding a helicopter is really fun as you can get to see how small life is when you are above the ground. You might have tried riding an airplane before and if you think that it is pretty similar to riding on a helicopter, you are mistaken because it is really different. A helicopter or a chopper is propelled by propellers so that it stays up from the ground. Helicopters can be levitating from the ground by the propellers that are used to stay them in flight. There are many helicopter rides that you can get to try out and they can be a lot of fun.
When you are about to ride on a helicopter, you might want to first check to see if the weather is good. Weather is very important when you are about to fly so if the weather is bad, you should stay on the ground. If the weather is too foggy or if the weather is not suitable for flying on a helicopter, authorities will hinder you from flying and that is so that you do not get into an accident. If you see that the weather is really foggy or if there is a storm, you should decide not to take that helicopter for a ride as you can get into trouble. A recent accident by a famous basketball player shocked people because the helicopter company allowed their helicopter to fly on a foggy day.
One should also check to see if the engine and controls of a helicopter are working well before one sets out to fly. Helicopters that have problems have to be fixed first before they go and fly out or they can crash. Make sure that all the control engines are working well and that there is enough fuel in your helicopter to get you to place that you have wanted to go to. It is a good idea to keep those helicopters maintained so that they work 100% well. Poor helicopters engines can cause those helicopters accidents to happen so you want to make sure that your helicopter has great engines before you fly. You need a good pilot to fly you if you wish to be safe in your first helicopter ride. this company about helicopters can help you to learn more info..

Google congratulated India for achieving one of the biggest achievements ever made as Mangalyaan is first one to reach Mars orbit successfully.
For this Google added a static doodle on Google’s India Homepage illustrating Mangalyaan and a small part of red planet – mars in the background. This doodle was a static one whereas most of the Google doodles are dynamic on most occasions.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi hailed the Mars mission as a major achievement.
History has been created today. We have achieved the near impossible. I congratulate all ISRO scientists and all my fellow Indians on this historic achievement,” he said on the day Mangalyaan entered the Mars orbit. “The odds were stacked against us. Of the 51 missions attempted across the world so far, a mere 21 had succeeded. But we have prevailed.
Mangalyaan was launched on November 5,2013 and reached Mars Orbit on September 24, 2014.

On March 13, the new Embraer 195-E2 landed at the Minsk National Airport. It became the second aircraft of this type in the fleet of Belavia Airlines. The aircraft differs from the other ones in its unusual anniversary livery: at present there is the number “25” on the tail, and the slogan of the Airlines in two languages (English and Russian) on the fuselage. This is the second aircraft of the latest type out of three ones, for the supply of which in February 2020 was signed the lease agreement between Belavia Belarusian Airlines and AerCap Holdings N.V., a leasing company.
The main distinctive characteristic of Embraer 195-E2 is its efficiency. The GTF engine, fully enclosed landing gear and an enlarged wing help significantly to reduce fuel consumption by 25,4% per passenger seat. Also, Embraer 195-E2 has reduced CAEP/ 8 nitrogen oxide emissions by 35% and carbon dioxide emissions by 50%/ This makes the aircraft the quietest and eco-friendliest in its class and makes it possible to reduce the cost of air tickets, increasing at the same time the level of service.
“The company Embraer is proud to be the permanent partner of Belavia. To our mind the supply of a new aircraft Embraer 195-E2 in an anniversary livery is the best way to celebrate 25th anniversary”, - noted Argian Meyer, President and CEO of Embraer Commercial Aviation. – “I think that the operation of new, more economical and eco-friendlier E2 will provide Belavia with even greater success in the future”.
“We are glad to see the second Embraer 195-E2 in the fleet of Belavia. The arrival of the aircraft coincided with the important event in the life of the Airlines, which is the anniversary to which the unusual livery of the aircraft is dedicated. For us, the new Embraer 195-E2 is a significant milestone in the history. The aircraft will become a kind of symbol of the 25th anniversary of the Airlines. For all these years Belavia has been continuously working to improve service, increase comfort and introduce progressive ways to ensure safety of passengers. The fact that today we are receiving the second Embraer 195-E2 and are expecting the third one in the nearest future suggests that we are on the right way”, commented Igor Cherginets, the general director of the Airlines.
Belavia and the Brazil manufacturer of the Embraer aircraft have been forming business relationship for 8 years already. The Belarusian air carrier successfully operates 13 aircraft of this aero-manufacturing conglomerate. The new Embraer 195-E2 will become the fourteenth aircraft of Brazilian origin in the fleet of the Airlines. | aerospace |

Venus Aerospace started with the development of this aircraft since 2020 and they have received investments to continue with the design and construction. This plane is expected to be able to fly at Mach 9 (9 times the speed of light), compared to its predecessor, the Concorde, which could fly at Mach 2, approximately 2,100 km/h.
The Stargazer, with a capacity of up to 12 passengers, will fly at a height of 170,000 feet (still within the Earth's atmosphere) where those who travel in it will be able to appreciate the curvature of the planet. To have a frame of reference, this plane could make a trip from Los Angeles to Tokyo in about 1 hour. For the takeoff of this plane, conventional engines will be used and when it is at a certain height, it will use propulsion rockets that would allow it to reach Mach 9.
The first tests are scheduled for 2025, later after approximately 5 years of testing, it would be ready to be incorporated as an alternative flight option but at speeds close to Mach 9.
It is important to mention that this is not the only effort in the aeronautical industry, several companies are working on projects where they could reach up to Mach 2, they share something in common, the number of passengers would be reduced as in the Stargazer.
And you, would you feel safe flying in a hypersonic plane? | aerospace |

Buratti
Dr. Bonnie J. Buratti serves as a Principal Scientist at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, CA, the premier center for the robotic exploration of deep space. She holds degrees from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Cornell University. She began her career working on Voyager data of icy satellites, including the enigmatic smooth iceballs Europa, Enceladus, and Triton, which are moons of Jupiter, Saturn, and Neptune, respectively. Her work has shown that these objects have unusual surface properties that suggest they are all currently active. NASA has appointed Dr. Buratti to the Science Teams for a number of missions, including the Clementine Mission to the Moon, Deep Space 1 (the first planetary mission to use ion propulsion), America's current flagship mission, Cassini, and most recently, the New Horizons mission to Pluto. Her recent work during the successful encounter of Deep Space 1 with the comet 19/P Borrelly showed that the surface of the comet is highly eroded but covered with a layer of native dust. Her role on New Horizons will be to understand how the surface properties of Pluto relate to possible geologic activity and seasonal changes.
Dr. Buratti runs several research programs as a Principal Investigator for NASA. Besides analyzing data from spacecraft, Dr. Buratti obtains data at large telescopes, such as the 200-inch "Big Eye" on Palomar Mountain. With over 70 scholarly papers and book chapters to her credit, she has also created an outreach program for NASA. Dr. Buratti developed and runs the JPL Teacher's Workshop "Teachers Touch the Sky". She has served on numerous NASA panels and professional committees.
Dr. Buratti answers some questions for us:
The Pluto Portal: What interests
you about the exploration of Pluto?
Dr. Buratti: Whether Pluto is an active changing planet like the Earth, or whether it is a world
where very little change has occurred during the past 2 billion years, like the Moon.
The Pluto Portal: What advice
would you give to someone interested in a career in space science?
Dr. Buratti: Don't give up. Anything worth doing is going to involve a lost of frustrations, false starts, and even false hopes. It's rocket science so it's not easy.
The Pluto Portal: Write
your own Pluto or Kuiper Belt Question someone from the General Public may
be interested in, and answer it!
Dr. Buratti: What is like on Pluto, and could human beings survive there?
Dr. Buratti: Well first, it's very cold on Pluto, less than minus 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Your body would freeze solid in perhaps one second. An astronaut would need a heated space suit made of a material that was very resistant to the cold. The surface atmosphere on Pluto is only a few millionths as thick as that on Earth, so you'd also have to bring your own supply of air. There is no oxygen in the atmosphere, but like the Earth, the most common gas on Pluto is nitrogen. The sun is on average 39 times further away on Pluto, so it gives less than a tenth of a percent of the light received on the Earth. The sun is still the brightest object in the sky. It's much brighter than Pluto's Moon Charon, which stays in the same place in the sky and is visible over only half of the planet. Charon appears about one-tenth as bright as the Earth's Moon. The gravity on Pluto is about one ninth that of the Earth's. A team of astronauts on Pluto could hit baseballs much farther and jump much higher. Sports might be fun on Pluto, but remember you have to drag around a heavy pressurized spacesuit, all your oxygen, and a heater.
Since it's too cold and dark on Pluto to grow any plants, you'd also have to bring all your own food.
The New Horizons spacecraft is happy in the cold dark environment of Pluto. It doesn't need any air, requires very little food (just a little fuel now and then), and it never gets lonely or tired. It's the perfect thing for exploring Pluto.

In reality aviation travel can lead to a variety of different airplane accidents. The National Transportation Safety Board recently reported that in just one year there were 1,837 airplane accidents involving both small and large airplanes. And of those accidents, 345, or almost 20 percent, were fatalities.
Airplane accidents can be caused by a range of causes, including human error to defective parts or components of the aircraft itself. In order to diminish the risk of airplane accidents, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has set clear safety guidelines for pilots, aircraft manufacturers, and flight operations. However, following an airplane accident, whether the FAA standards were enforced strictly enough to ensure the safety of the crew and passengers will always be an issue to be investigated.
If you or a loved one has been injured or killed in an airplane accident, you need attorneys who have experience handling these complex airplane and aviation matters. This requires not only legal knowledge and expertise, but also knowledge of the technical aspects of aerodynamics, airplane equipment, flight patterns, and of FAA regulations.
An experienced airplane accident attorney from Kreisman Law Offices can assess your case and seek the maximum compensation on your behalf. Chicago injury lawyers at Kreisman Law Offices have represented clients who have fallen victim to airplane negligence or airline accidents for more than 40 years.

The integration of unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) – popularly known as “drones” – into the national airspace took a major step forward last week with the Federal Aviation Administration’s (FAA) selection of six regional research test sites. From a pool of 25 applicants representing 24 states, the FAA announced on December 30, 2013 its selection of proposals submitted by the University of Alaska, the State of Nevada, Griffiss International Airport (Rome, NY), the North Dakota Department of Commerce, Texas A&M University at Corpus Christi, and Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University (Virginia Tech).
The six sites will research and test all aspects of UAS operations, including system safety and data gathering, aircraft certification, command and conflict link issues, layout and certification of control stations, ground and airborne “sense and avoid” capabilities, and environmental impacts. The sites were chosen to collect data from diverse geographic and climatic locations around the nation. With the information generated from these sites, the FAA will develop policies and regulations for allowing unmanned aircraft to operate in the same airspace as manned commercial and civil aviation.
Competition for the six spots was intense, because of their projected economic benefits. Scheduled to operate through at least 2017, the research test sites are expected to be an economic boon for their local economies. They not only will generate investment and jobs in the short term, but will attract businesses expecting the sites to become investment hubs for future UAS development. The industry trade association, the Association for Unmanned Vehicle Systems International, estimates the UAS industry will generate $82 billion in economic growth over the first decade of commercial use. In light of these projections, it is perhaps not surprising that applicants not chosen quickly started complaining about the selection process. Congressman Michael Turner (R-Ohio) has asked the FAA to explain its decision-making process and justify its reasons for not selecting Dayton, Ohio as one of the six sites.
In recognition of privacy and civil liberty concerns surrounding UAS operations, the FAA promulgated regulations designed to protect those rights at the research test sites.

Why Is Air Traffic Controlling a Job of Tomorrow?
Despite the financial struggles that airlines are undergoing, airports remain busy. Consequently, air traffic controllers are needed for the crucial job of safely guiding complex flight routes. Employment opportunities for air traffic controllers are expected to increase 10 percent, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Air traffic controllers earn an average salary of $117,240 annually.
What Does an Air Traffic Controller Do?
Air traffic controllers are responsible for directing and managing airway activity. Visibility and depth perception, as well as distance judgment, is greatly reduced in the air, so air traffic controllers must ensure that all aircrafts have an ample amount of buffer space around them. Even a slight miscalculation could be catastrophic, so air traffic controllers must be aware of every plane in the sky and on the runway at all times. The bulk of an air traffic controller's responsibility is to manage flights coming in and out of airports. In 2008, 25 percent of all flights were delayed, according to the Bureau of Transportation Statistics. Most of these delays were out of air traffic controllers' hands to remedy, but some were caused by congested airport runways and airspace. Air traffic controllers must always strive to keep the airport runways free from congestion to minimize lost time and money. When an airplane lands, a traffic controller works from the airport's air traffic control tower to guide the aircraft's pilot to the plane's assigned gate. Controllers also inform pilots about weather conditions around the airport, including temperature, visibility, and wind speed and direction. When a pilot is ready, controllers will give them clearance for takeoff. At busy airports where many planes may be occupying the same general airspace at the same time, air traffic controllers must alter some flight routes to prevent collisions.
What Kind of Training Do I Need to Become an Air Traffic Controller?
Air traffic controllers should expect to complete a bachelor's degree in a science or physics field or have three years of full-time work experience in the field. A bachelor's degree takes four years to complete. A degree program in science covers such topics as mathematics and meteorology. Prospective air traffic controllers must also complete an FAA-approved education program to learn more about the job. They then must successfully complete a preemployment examination, which typically takes eight hours to finish. After getting hired, air traffic controllers are required to pass an annual physical examination as well as a biannual job performance evaluation. | aerospace |

Testing two extraordinary predictions of that theory is the goal of Gravity Probe B, or GP-B, a satellite that just marked its first anniversary in space. Published in 1916 and hailed as one of the most brilliant creations of the human mind, Albert Einstein’s general theory of relativity weaves together space and time into a four-dimensional “fabric,” called spacetime, and defines gravity as the warping and twisting of spacetime by massive objects.
With this theory, Einstein forever changed our notions of space, time, and gravity. And although it has become one of the cornerstones of modern physics, general relativity is the least tested of Einstein’s theories. While the warping and twisting of spacetime is calculated to be enormous in the neighborhood of ultra-massive black holes, these effects are minuscule and difficult to measure in the vicinity of a tiny celestial object such as our Earth.
The GP-B spacecraft uses four ultra-precise, spherical gyroscopes to experimentally test, with unprecedented precision, two specific effects predicted by Einstein’s theory: 1) the geodetic effect–the amount by which the Earth warps local spacetime in which it resides, and 2) the frame-dragging effect–the amount by which the rotating Earth drags local spacetime around with it. At the one-year mark the spacecraft continues to perform very well. The four on board gyroscopes have experienced and measured relativistic effects for almost eight months. After completing the mission and thoroughly analyzing the data the team plans to release the final results in the summer of 2006.
One year ago, on April 20, 2004, GP-B was launched into a nearly perfect polar orbit from Vandenberg Air Force Base, Calif. atop a Boeing Delta II launch vehicle. During a four-month initialization phase, the spacecraft underwent a complete checkout and optimization of all systems. Over 10,000 commands were successfully executed by on-board computers. The four gyroscopes were spun up to their final speeds, averaging 72 Hz, or 4,300 rpm, and their spin axes were aligned with the GP-B guide star — IM Pegasi/HR 8703. The GP-B team began the science phase of the mission, collecting data on the changing spin axis orientation of the four gyros that will ultimately confirm or disprove the geodetic and frame-dragging predictions of general relativity.
“Developing GP-B was a supreme challenge, requiring the skillful integration of an extraordinary range of new technologies. It could never have been done without the kind of unique long-term collaboration we have had between Stanford, NASA, and Lockheed Martin,” said GP-B Principal Investigator, Francis Everitt, of Stanford University. “It is wonderful to be at the stage we are, with the experiment working so well and proceeding steadily with the analysis of the science data.”
It is fitting that the completion of the Gravity Probe B experiment, the most rigorous test to date of general relativity, will come to fruition this year–the 100th anniversary of Einstein’s “miracle” year, in which he published four seminal papers, including the special theory of relativity and his paper on the production and transformation of light, for which he was awarded the Nobel Prize in 1921. “The GP-B team has shown that through hard work and sustained effort, great things can be accomplished”, said Tony Lyons, NASA’s GP-B program manager at the Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Ala. “The spacecraft keeps getting better as we get farther into the mission, and that’s a tribute to the hard work of our excellent team.”
The GP-B team is in the process of measuring the amount of liquid helium remaining in the spacecraft’s dewar. Shortly before the helium runs out, the team plans to perform a series of instrument calibrations. “The purpose of the calibration phase is to ensure data accuracy and analysis integrity prior to releasing results,” says Mac Keiser, project chief scientist.
Was Einstein Correct? Mac Keiser is not saying. Project policy maintains that the program will not release scientific results obtained during the mission until after the data analysis is completed next year.
NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center manages the GP-B program. NASA’s prime contractor for the mission, Stanford University, conceived the experiment and is responsible for the design and integration of the science instrument, as well as for mission operations and data analysis. Lockheed Martin, a major subcontractor, designed, integrated and tested the space vehicle and built some of its major payload components. NASA’s Kennedy Space Center, Fla., and Boeing Expendable Launch Systems, Huntington Beach, Calif., was responsible for the launch of the Delta II. | aerospace |

Besides Cartosat-2, the workhorse launcher would also carry 28 foreign satellites from the US and Finland. It would also launch two other Indian satellites— one nano spacecraft weighing just five kg and the other a micro satellite weighing about 100 kg, built by the space agency.
With the launch of these three satellites, ISRO will be earning a distinction of launching 100 satellites in its journey of making India among the top space faring states, a top ISRO official said on Tuesday.
The mission, whose main payload would be Cartosat-2 series earth observation satellite, will be the first PSLV mission in 2018 after the unsuccessful launch of navigation satellite IRNSS-1H in August last year.
Speaking to reporters on the sidelines of an Exhibition on AstroSat organised by ISRO at Jawaharlal Planetorium, ISRO Satellite Centre Director M Annadurai said the mission will be a combination of 25
nano satellites, three micro-satellites and one Cartosat satellite.
He said the other big launch coming up this year — will be lunar mission Chandrayaan-2, on board GSLV-Mk II. Testing and integration of this orbiter and the lander-rover was in the final stages and it would fly to reach lunar orbit in the first half of this year.
Chandrayaan-2, India’s second mission to the Moon, would be an advanced version of the Chandrayaan-1 launched nine years ago. This spacecraft is a composite model consisting of orbiter, lander and rover.
Dr Annadurai reiterated ISRO’s intention of increasing the industry participation in space missions. While ISRO wants to build its capability it also involve the industry and use the excess capacity for commercial use.

I lead WestJet’s strategy planning function. Among the key parts of our strategy is our fleet planning and flight network strategy. As such I work across the organization to determine our fleet types, fleet requirements, aircraft configuration and future flight destinations.
What is the most challenging aspect of your job?
Many of the decisions for WestJet’s future need to be made today. Among those decisions are our aircraft and capacity requirements given the long lead time with the aircraft manufacturers yet so much can happen between now and when the aircraft are delivered. Having too much or too little capacity has material impacts to our business given the difficulty and cost to add or remove aircraft. Being able to build in flexibility for the uncertain operating environment is critical.
What is your biggest professional accomplishment?
Being a key member of the team that developed the business case for WestJet to start its own regional airline, WestJet Encore. From evaluating the potential flight network to the type of aircraft we would order, now seeing the aircraft flying across Canada today and become an integral part of WestJet has been very rewarding.
What’s on your bedside table right now?
My iPhone, to help me keep track of my schedule and all the things I need to do, and the book for Operations course The Goal by Eli Goldratt.
How do you manage stress (i.e. sports, exercise, meditation)?
I try to make sure I have some “me” time every week whether that’s just sitting in front of the TV watching some sports or catching up on my favorite shows. I make sure it’s something where I can just relax and not think about school or work.
What is the most significant thing you’ve learned at Ivey?
It’s hard to narrow it down but I would say learning about different industries. Through all the cases, learning team and class discussions, I have had the opportunity to learn about and get exposure to many different industries that I would not have had to opportunity to. It has helped me increase my knowledge and bring these learnings back into my current role.
What’s been the most surprising aspect of the Executive MBA journey to date?
Being able to get through everything. I was really worried about balancing work, school and my personal life and wasn’t sure how I was going to do it. There is lots of reading, cases, projects, assignments etc. but getting into a good routine and schedule has enabled me to really manage everything. When you set goals for yourself every week and take it one day at a time, it’s surprising how much you can get done and how quickly the program goes by.
