Drake Aviation, a long running flight training school with several students and modern planes, needed professional quality aircraft paint stripping done on a Cessna 185.
the client, Bruce Drake, required careful removal of the original factory assembly coatings under his guidance.
Aquamax faced very stubborn primer coats, which made the job more difficult than usual, but quality was never undermined to achieve the desired result. Using the right tools for the job and highly skilled team members, the stripping was done to perfection, leaving the airplane ready to prime and paint.
Our team worked under Bruce Drake’s direction, who was satisfied to see a job that would take him 80 hours done in such short time. The advantages of paint stripping using water jetting, over the conventional chemical stripping, were made clear. | aerospace |

I want to declare that while I was an Engineering major in college, I know very little about aircraft technology in general. Nor am I an aviation enthusiast. I am just a regular guy who happened to read both Chinese and English and pay attention to this particular topic because jet engine is one of yardstick measure one country’s resourcefulness and resolve. Grew up with Soviet style anti-communist propaganda myself, I have learned to be skeptical and read between the lines, especially from Chinese sources.
First of all, jet engine is HARD.
Secondly, let’s get some terminology straight. When we talk about “jet engine” here, we are talking about large thrust, (i.e. horse power) turbofan engines. In this regard, only a handful of nations are able to make their own jet engine: US, UK, France, Russia, Ukraine and mainland China, barely.
US is ahead of just about everyone. UK’s Rolls Royce kind of falling behind US in recent years. France is struggling to maintaining its self-reliance due to relatively small deployment scale and there are no public information on any new engine development; Soviet Block is in a different league, in a sense that Russian/Ukraine engines may have relatively good performance, but they tend to lagging behind West in terms of fuel consumption and time between overhaul. This may not be an issue in military applications at first glance, but it has long term consequences, as OEMs can’t produce civilian engines to maintain its long term financial viability.
Third, mainland China has been making jet engines for DECADES, start with WP-5 (WP = turbojet, an earlier form of jet engine which is rarely used in aircraft nowadays) in 1956, which is a licensed copy of Soviet VK-1 (1947), which itself a knock-off from Rolls Royce Nene (1944).
Not a bad start.
Then, there was Sino-Soviet split. Communist China lost the hand which spoon fed her.
The one of biggest reason why China is so lagging behind in jet engine is the Culture Revolution, which thousands of scientist / engineers were purged, thus, created a talent gap which China took a generation to pick up.
The talent gap and the politics over ANYTHING, including technical know-how and fundamental facts and sciences, took its toll in all aspect of China’s economy and technology, especially consider that China didn’t have much of an industrial base at first place.
China’s early attempt to design a turbofan engine, WS-6 as an example, was severe effected by the political turmoil, significantly contributed the project’s demise.
By the time China got its sanity back, it’s already in 1970s.
At this time, China got a break. UK decided to license Rolls Royce RB.13, “Spey” engine to China. I can’t find any thing on the net explains what was the political reason behind UK’s decision, nor can I find anything on how much China paid for the deal.
Spey engine was used in UK version of F-4 Phantom. It is one of most successful engine design at the time due to its performance and reliability. China designated it as WS-9 (WS stands for turbofan in Chinese).
China and UK signed the license deal in 1974. Since UK committed to transfer technology, but not manufacturing know-how. By the time China overcome all the technical difficulties associate with manufacturing the jet engine (entrer que l'on appelle la production en série), it was already mid 2003. And, even that, I don’t have any information on how China’s WS-9 comparer avec Rolls Royce’s Spey in terms of trust, fuel consumption, and time-between overhaul, etc.
Yeah, that is how far China was behind.
China has announced many domestic made engines since then, but as far as I know, WS-9 is the only turbofan engine that is manufactured in large quantity and used in large percentage of its application jets (JH-7) so far. The engine itself is hopelessly outdated by now.
China recently (late May 2017) announced that a new domestically made jet engine is used to equip the fifth generation stealth fighter J-20. The domestic designation for the jet engine is WS-15. le origine of this engine is relatively straight forward: China negotiated the design and manufacturing right for the engine designated for defunct Yak-141 VTOL fighter's engine, MNPK Soyuz R-79V-300 en 1995.
Again, take a look at the time between China got the design from Russia (1995) to the announcement of WS-15 used in J-20 (2017). And it is probably just a trial run, not serial production.
WS-15 would be China’s most advanced turbofan engine designated for jet fighter applications.
(Russians refused to give out the vector nozzle (Vertical/Short take off ) part of the engine to Chinese in 1995. Some Chinese sources says that during 1998 Russian financial crises, Russia caved in and licensed the vector nozzle to Chinese)
WS-11 is a small turbofan engine. China obtained the design from Ukraine. It is a Chinese version of Ivchenko AL-25. Due to its limited thrust, the military application is limited to trainer aircraft. Note that Ukraine has become China’s strategic partner in this arena. China has formed join venture with Ukraine (after Ukraine refused to sell Motor Sich) to develop jet engines (details are rare, but it seems that the collaboration is in high bypass ratio engines) and in return, China is helping Ukraine with airplane production, radar, and other technologies.
Then, there is WS-13 (medium trust) and WS-10 (large trust).
Both are being taunted as “domestically designed” and “100% ownership of Intellectual Property.”
WS-13 is designed to replace Russia’s RD-33 engine. While I can’t find any information on rather Russia licensed the design to China, some of Chinese sources implied that China has the design blueprints (RD-33 is authorized to be manufactured in China) and WS-13 is based upon RD-33’s design. Putting things in perspective, RD-33 was originally used on Mig-29 fighter, first ran in 1974!
Why WS-13 can be claimed to be indigenous is beyond me.
Since the WS-13 is designed to be swap replace the RD-33 engine used in FC-1/JF-17, it has similar characteristics in terms of physical size, weight, and trust. Chinese source revealed that while WS-13 has higher maximum thrust and no longer have the infamous black trail smoke associated with RD-33, it takes longer to achieve maximum trust AND Chinese WS-13 requires even shorter time between overhaul than the already dismal RD-33 (compare with, let say, GE’s F404) and shorter life span than RD-33.
Pakistan, the sole user of FC-1/JF-17, so far has rejected the WS-13 in favour of RD-33 despite WS-13 supposedly already in serial production. Pakistan stated that JF-17, being a single-engine jet and backbone of Pakistan’s modern air force, prefer a reliable and proven engine than taking unnecessary risk.
I can’t find much information about the origin of WS-10. From various non-reliable and non-authoritative Chinese sources, it seems that WS-10 used defunct WS-6 project as starting point, took design que from CFM56/F101 and to some extent, AL-31F, and use Russian’s control software as basis to clobber together this beast (since Chinese didn’t manage to steal FADEC source code from the West). Some sources stated that the “core” of WS-10 is more closely based upon CFM56 than any Russian design.
(here is where I really wish I know something about the jet engine… what the hell is “core” mean)
While I know CFM corporation (50/50 join venture between US’s GE and France’s SNECMA) has established engine maintenance facility in China for decades, I sincerely doubt that US/France would give away the design blueprints to Chinese. Did Chinese managed to get some design ideas/ reverse engineered simply from maintaining / overhauling the CFM56? How does technology from CFM56, a civilian jet engine used in Boeing 737, can be applied to military applications? All these questions, I am hoping someone on Quora and/or someone has inside track in China can help me to answer.
WS-10 is designed to swap replace Russia’s AL-31F, used in China’s J-11 (which itself a knock off of Russia’s Su-27) and J-10. Last time I check, WS-10, claimed to entered serial production, is plagued with problems including engine failure and dismal time-between-overhaul of less than 100 hours. China was forced to purchase hundreds of AL-31F from Russia recently as a stop gap measure. As far as I know, as of mid 2017, vast majority of J-11 and its variant (J-15, J-16) and J-10 still uses Russia’s AL-31F engines.
For sake of comparison, AF-31, the Russian engine Chinese so desperately trying to replace, first ran in 1981!
(I am skipping the development of large bypass-ratio engines, i.e. engines for transport/cargo/jetliners ,as it follows similar patterns of development struggles)
It is true that China struggles to produce modern jet engines to fit on its modern jets in large quantity and in a reliable manner,
It is true that even China managed to produce modern jet engines in large quantity and in a reliable manner, almost all the engine’s design are at least 20 years old.
It is also true that China is at least one generation behind US on a good day.
But it is a far cry from “not able to produce jet engines domestically.” Most people are confident that China will able to iron out kinks and be able to produce jet engines in large number reasonably reliably within coming decade.
And having an outdated engine on its own give a huge strategic advantage than not having an engine at all. Sweden’s JAS39 Gripen, otherwise a top-tier lightweight fighter that uses US engine, couldn’t export to many countries simply because some of potential market are either competing with US’ F-16, or that US has security concern and refused allow engine to be used in these nations.
Similar situation in Pakistan. By having WS-13 available for replacement, however flawed WS-13 may be, China removed Russia’s last choke point which Russia could stop the sale of JF-17. Given the choice, Russia would much prefer to sell Mig-29 to Pakistan directly instead of merely selling RD-33 engine alone and collecting royalty fees from RD-33 designs.
Since jet engine is so resource-intensive, it is one of those things which free-market doesn’t exist and all nations uses the power of States to focus its effort in development. It is a testament of a nation’s resolve and organizational skill on top of its technical expertise. From this perspective, China’s achievements, however little as it might be, has been quite amazing.
China probably will surpass France by end of 2020s, as China has multiple engine developments in the pipeline.
Who knows, may be China will become one of high tech engine maker in one day.

CGTN4’s “Across China” documentary1 (with English subtitles) recently unveiled an important piece of information that is on everybody’s mind since the first flight of the J-20 stealth fighter in 2011 - those mysterious engines on J-20 prototypes. Those who had argued that the J-20 uses the Russian AL-31F engines are going to be disappointed, for we now know it was acually a pair of domestic Taihang WS-10 (~140 kN A/B thrust) for interim solution in the LRIP aircraft, and the Ermei WS-15 is ready for test run. China had leapfrogged from fielding 3rd-Gen turbofan engine(Taihang WS-10) to Fifth-Gen turbofan engine(Ermei WS-15)
Critical bottlenecks overcame by Chinese turbofan jet engine research :
- The Ermei WS-15 delivers 180kN of A/B thrust , as compared to the P&W F119’s 160kN A/B thrust mounted on the United States’ F-22A Raptor.
- Superalloys used for WS-15 turbine fan blades are formed as a single crystal of titanium alloy, which makes it stronger and reliable when subjected to intense heat of working temperature from 1600 to 1700 degrees celsius, withstanding up to a maximum temperature of 1,900 degrees Celsius(2,200K), and reaches lifespan of 3,000 hours.
- Material used for the WS-15 superalloys achieved a shear modulus of E/20, or 3.3GPa, which is the theoretical ideal for fighter jet turbofan engines.
- All critical components and parts are domestically produced.
The wait is finally over for aviation enthusiasts hoping to see the WS-15 in action. The first test run of the WS-15 mounted on the J-20 might occur pretty soon, probably early next year.
UK’s Rolls Royce, United States’ Pratt&Whitney and General Electric will soon find a new competitor entering the tier-1 turbofan jet engine Market : China’s Shenyang Liming AECC.

Building a jet engine is one thing which even novices do.The real challenge is to make them stick around for long periods of time it is where the metallurgy of the engine comes in you need to make materials that has long lifetimes and only few countries in the world have mastered it.
The list of those critical parts which are present in the hot end of an engine is small.
Single crystal turbine blades instead of normal DS(Directionally solidified )blades.
TBM(THermal barrier)coatings which are applied to tips of rotors that protect them from high temperatures
These are some of the basic tech which chineese and indians lack which is preventing them in coming up with an reliable jet engine with acceptable lifetime rating.

China was late comer in industrialization, China’s industrialization began in 1950s, went through setbacks, twists and turns, the manufacturing industry is experiencing a development stage. Quality craftsmanship and attention to detail are going to be a long haul until expertise in aircraft engines is built. It's very difficulty for China to leapfrog the few developed economies for best aircraft engines.
Rome wasn't built in a day. Full manufacturing support behind the nations is essential for the success of the major global players Rolls-Royce(UK), Pratt & Whitney(US), General Electric(US), CFM International(France), for example, aerospace manufacturers to find ways to incorporate new and existing metallic materials for better performance. China doesn't have enough technologies in this field.
Another factor is slow return on huge investment. China has made up its mind to boost the domestic aero-engine industry as a state-level major project in a collective effort.

Jet engines are hard engineering. In a lot of engineering you’re trying to deal with only one thing like high temperatures, high speed, pressure, limits on materials. But in jet engines you’re dealing with all of this and more.
If you get anything wrong, your engine catastrophically disassembles itself in midair (blows up).
And the jets that we’re talking about aren’t small, they’re quite large and generate tremendous amounts of thrust. They need to do this for thousands of hours in a highly reliable way. It’s not easy and it’s a test of your engineering infrastructure from research all the way through manufacturing. Relatively few countries do this all on their own.

Aeroengines are very complex, and the margins on performance are very tight - no one will run a profitable airline if they are using engines only a few percent less than the majority of the opposition. This makes it a very difficult market to break into: if you cannot sell many engines, then getting experience and more funds for more R&D is yet more difficult.
That the Chinese have struggled to make new engines, having not had their own aeroengine industry, but made decent reverse-engineered engines for years should not be a massive surprise - just don’t expect it to last forever. Aircraft design and manufacture is moving at great pace in China, and I am sure we will see them making competitive indigenous engines before very long. | aerospace |

The worst experience is when you get to the airport and find out that your flight has been canceled. At that point, you’re already stressed out from making sure you don’t miss the flight, but now you have a whole other set of problems to deal with. www.flightdelayclaims4u.com is always ready to help you out from these situations.
Airlines understand the frustrations of passengers when their flights are delayed or canceled. No airline likes to have these types of issues because it makes them look very bad in the eyes of the public. With airlines already operating on razor thin margins, the last thing they want to do is lose customers or have a bad reputation for canceled flights.
If your flight is canceled the airlines will try and get you on the next flight out. If that’s not possible due to it being at full capacity, the airline may offer to put you on a flight the following day and also offer compensation. Depending on the airline and the amount of the ticket will usually determine what you will receive in the form of compensation. They may even offer you an upgrade on your next flight, anything to alleviate the problem and make you a happy customer.
Some airlines offer canceled flight compensation to passengers who are already booked on flights ready to take off. If you’re willing to give up your seat on this flight, the airlines will compensate you in the form of a free flight voucher. Plus they will put you on the next available flight to get you to your destination.
Airlines are far from perfect but they do try their best to compensate passengers who have been inconvenienced. Your best bet is to speak up and ask to be compensated and more than likely the airline will oblige. | aerospace |

Or what are the basic principles of the aerospace industry? On what features of science does aerodynamics work? Well, if you are someone with these many questions and finding no one to provide you with Engineering Assignment Help, we feel sorry! But the good news is it is highly essential to understand the concepts of aerodynamics to crack that engineering assignment paper. Modern aircraft designs have tackled many such challenges and prevailed in a better development strategy which we would like to discuss.
Because each aircraft resists or reacts to control pressures differently, each aircraft handles it somewhat differently, say the Engineering Assignment Help mentors. A transport aeroplane feels heavy on the controls and responds to control forces more slowly than a training aircraft, which response to control applications quickly. By taking into account specific stability and manoeuvrability needs, these elements can be integrated into an aeroplane to support the particular function of the aircraft.
Furthermore, they are analysed and related to flight circumstances, which are covered in the following discussion.
Did you know that besides designing aeroplanes, aerodynamics concepts are also important in other fields? According to the Australia Assignment Help experts-- contribute to the construction of cars, dams, and bridges.
Combining intricate elements such as aerodynamic performance, robust, lightweight structure, and cutting-edge engineering systems for control is necessary while designing an aeroplane. More comfort, room, and an environmentally responsible design are now demanded from passengers. The aeroplane designers must create a balanced plan that economically meets the bar and achieves fundamental operation to satisfy these needs.
In addition, designing an aeroplane requires sophisticated labour and many phases with several performance tests. The main predictor elements are the designs and calculations, and logistics planning is further needed for performance and other standards. Data from the design group and aircraft aerodynamics must be correct when considering practical uses. So how does the procedure work in practice? Let's explore.
As per the writers of Australia Assignment Help, the significant areas of aircraft design must fulfil multiple requirements. The primary design constraints are:
One of the prominent concerns of aircraft designs is the purpose of an aeroplane. As an engineering student, you must know several aircraft types with different needs, such as passenger to commercial aviation. However, with each design- it entails the purpose of performance.
Besides knowing the purpose of aeroplanes, you must also know that airline pilots have licences to fly an aircraft. However, they must acquire various licences to pass different designs of aircraft. Interesting, right? An aircraft group design project requires certifications for each pilot to obtain the licence, which the authoritative agencies must approve.
The economic element is the next significant obstacle or limitation in the design of an aeroplane. The two aspects mentioned above influence the cost considerations when developing an aeroplane. The plane's plan includes all the parts and special equipment costs. Additionally, the cost of design certification is equal to that of performance efficiency standards.
Additionally, it is essential to consider how an aircraft design may affect the environment. Unambiguously, more aeroplanes equal more significant carbon emissions. Air pollution and noise pollution are the two main hazards for aeroplanes. The natural direction of airflow is disturbed by the noise made by aircraft. As a result, quieter engines become available over time. Newer eco-friendly fuels have been adapted to combat air pollution, says the Engineering Assignment Help experts.
The environmental concerns of aircraft are not hidden from anyone. They are surrounded by an aircraft design that must not be overseen. The more significant number of aeroplanes causes more carbon emissions, which is a matter of concern. Moreover,
Turbulence can be pretty tense, but anyone who has flown on an aeroplane will attest. As a result, safety issues are crucial in aerospace engineering. Basic design requirements are provided by the aircraft aerodynamics and design group data from the aerospace regulatory bodies. The "International Civil Aviation Organisation" is an authoritative body that developed the recommended standards for aircraft design.
Fun fact: Sir George Cayley made the initial discovery of the four aerodynamic forces—"weight, lift, drag, and thrust"—in 1799.
Consequently, aeronautical engineers make sure to satisfy all of these needs. The pre-established requirements guarantee the design's economic, environmental, and dynamic safety. When creating the prototype for a relatively new invention, there are various steps involved in aircraft design. Let's go over the many stages of designing an aircraft.
You must understand all of these ideas if you want to be an aircraft engineer. Designers of aircraft must be adept at making their creations meet all criteria and arrive at the optimal design choices. Do you have problems with your project to design an aircraft? The computations are challenging, but you may simply complete them with our assistance.
According to the Engineering Assignment Help writers “every aeroplane design goes through several revisions and tests.” As the plan takes shape, its original concepts eventually evolve. Like with any other product, there are several steps between the design and the finished item. Nevertheless, the procedure of an aeroplane involves several processes has been described, such as:
An aeroplane designer begins out in the same way as an artist does, with crude sketches. It would be best if you released multiple iterations of your ideas as a designer. The ability of aeroplane designers to adapt their designs to meet the standards sets them different. The term for it is design optimisation. The primary design elements and additional restrictions are the makers' main concerns.
After optimisation, the aircraft group design project is configured, says the Australia Assignment Help. Testing in a wind tunnel and simulations using fluid dynamics are carried out in accordance with the design's objectives. This process comprises evaluating the primary structural components and checking for structural instability and aerodynamic accuracy before the final design phase.
Finish the manufacturing and fabrication, as well. The sections, spars, and other structural components are accessible. Additionally, during the detail design phase, develop the design in accordance with the structural implementation of propulsion, performance, and control. Manufacturing is the sole remaining activity.
The manufacturing step is ultimately the last stage. But the process of developing an aeroplane, from conception to completion, frequently meets numerous obstacles and delays. The Boeing 787 Dreamliner's development, which had a delay of more than four years, is an example. As a result, scheduling delays and cost overruns are common in the production of aeroplanes. In a study by "The British Airline Pilots Association," 43 per cent of the 500 pilots surveyed reported falling asleep by mistake while piloting a jet.
An aeroplane's journey begins on the pages of the designer and continues to the actual, twenty-metre-tall colossal wonder. Even though there are up to 170,000 flights per day, it might take up to four years to design an aeroplane from the ground up.
Since you are now aware of the difficulties of aeroplane design, you must put all of your safety worries to rest the next time you board a plane, explains the Engineering Assignment Help mentors.
The aerodynamics authorities used the available data and new information to arrive at the standard aircraft design regulations.
"Aircraft Aerodynamics and Design Group", and they develop experimental and computational techniques for studying aerodynamics, according to the applied research in aircraft design and aerodynamics is the focus of the
They also create prototypes for several multidisciplinary structures. The design optimisation studies are kept in the national repository, and many aircraft makers might consult this collection when designing and improving their aircraft. As a result, standard compliance is upheld and applied across the sector.
According to ABS, Australia's aviation sector generated over $30 billion in revenue in 2019–20. (Australian Bureau of Statistics).
Additionally, every aeroplane prototype that has ever been made or is now under development has standard calculations. Optimal safety and adherence to environmental safety regulations must be ensured. You might consult these repositories for your aircraft group design project to understand novel-aeroplane design concepts. | aerospace |

29-Mar-59 (Easter Sunday)
SQUADRON: AEWRON ELEVEN (VW-11)
AIRCRAFT: WV-2, BuNo 141332, MJ-17, "Seventeen Knot Hole"
LOCATION: NAS Argentia, Newfoundland.
EVENT: Crashed at 2:59 p.m., due to windshear, while landing on runway 32
while returning from a normal Atlantic Barrier patrol:
"...the huge plane with 21 men aboard hit the runway hard on the
right main landing gear and right wing tip. The right landing gear
collapsed and the aircraft burst into flames a few minutes later
while skidding down the runway. After skidding some 1500 fett, the
plane veered sharply to the right leaving the runway. The right wing,
with both engines, sheared off. The fuselage with left wing came to
a fiery stop after skidding another 400 feet off the runway. All crew-
members scrambled out safely and the fire was extinguished within a few
minutes." [source: FOGHORN Vol.1 No.10, April 10, 1959, pg 1]
U.S. Naval Aviation Safety Center, Accident Brief No. 11, May 1960:
"The aircraft arrived over the field, cancelled IFR and commenced
a contact approach to the duty runway. The wind at the time was given
as north-northeast 25 knots and the duty runway was 7.
The aircraft made contact with the runway at a point 480 feet from
the runway threshold, and at a point 600 feet down the runway gradually
veered to the right about 30 degrees and left the runway some 1300 feet
from the approach end. Smoke and flames were observed to come from the
aircraft starboard wing root after the first contact was made with the
The starboard wing, No.3 and No.4 engines, and the starboard main
landing gear separated from the aircraft. The other major components
remained with the fuselage which was gutted by fire.
The final approach was commenced at the minimum approach speed
recommended by the WV-2 Operating Procedures Manual. However, the pilot
permitted the airspeed to decrease gradually during the final approach.
Upon experiencing turbulence and downdraft prior to reaching the threshold
of the runway, the pilot added power to gain altitude in compensation for
the downdraft effects. This enabled him to reach the threshold of the
runway, but the aircraft attitude at this time was left-wing-down and
nose-high. When the pilot cut the power an apparent stall occurred. The
aircraft landed extremely hard on the starboard main landing gear and
veered gradually to the right off the runway."
LOSS: NO injuries among crew of 21.

The Soviets have developed the MiG-31 - a fighter that flies at 6 times the speed of sound, is invulnerable to radar, and worst of all - has a lethally sophisticated weapons system that the pilot can control through thought impulses. As soon as the pilot detects a threat - either visually or on a scope - his thought impulses will direct a missile to that threat, without so much as pushing a button. Mass production of the MiG-31 will give the Russians a huge advantage. Vietnam veteran Mitchell Gant, a former USAF ace pilot, is smuggled into the USSR to infiltrate the Russian airbase at Bilyarsk, where the Firefox/MiG-31 is being finished, and STEAL THE FIREFOX! Gant manages to overpower Col. Voskov - the Russian test pilot - and steal the aircraft, just as the USSR's First Secretary arrives at the base. Now Gant will run the gauntlet of Russian defenses - land-based missiles, naval warships, and helicopters - and reach a refueling point from a US Navy submarine. But the Russians still have a trump card - a prototype MiG-31 - and they send it up in pursuit of Gant after he completes refueling! What follows is a harrowing, cat-and-mouse chase across the ice floes of the Arctic. Who will survive?

Thankfully he's in such good shape, since the propulsion comes from six miniature jet engines mounted on the arms and the lower back, just like those used in jet-powered model airplanes.
He named it after the Greek mythological figure, Daedalus, the father of Icarus who flew too close to the sun. Browning doesn't seem to be following in the failed steps of the Greek myth, as he's performed multiple successful flights with the suit. He told RedBull.com:
The suit can fly in most locations. Despite being capable of flying at several hundred miles per hour, and at thousands of feet, normal operation sees the wearer flying at no more than a couple of meters
Thanks to his demonstrations at San Diego Comic-Con, more than a few fans noted the similarities between him and Tony Stark/Iron Man. He told the website, Player.One:
It’s cool because I like the Iron Man film. It’s a cool concept and it’s nice having built something that’s not too entirely dissimilar. We could have painted it gold and red, and that would have made the point that we are really trying to aspire to recreate it, but no. It has nothing to do with comic books. | aerospace |

Only when the techniques were put into practice, and the results were seen in aviation incidents and accidents, did the aviation industry begin to accept and embrace the CRM concept. Eventually, the same basic concept of CRM has spread to other areas of the aviation industry such as maintenance. The name was changed slightly to make it more appealing to aviation professionals who were not part of the flight crew (Maintenance Resource Management), but the concepts of teamwork, communication, and cooperation remained the same.
Research some literature on various training programs being offered by different companies in the aviation industry and provide a summary of the basic principles behind those programs.

To put these distances in perspective, it took the Voyager two spacecraft roughly eight and a half years to attain Uranus . This was with the assistance of many gravity-assist maneuvers, where spacecraft will slingshot about a planet to pick up a boost in velocity.
This image of bright spots in a tiny crater on Ceres was obtained by NASA’s Dawn spacecraft on July 1, 2018 from an altitude of about 179 miles .

A compass assists uncover the precise directions in this vibrant twilight to help with finding the planets. This is the 50th anniversary of the final Apollo lunar mission – Apollo 17.
Neptune still has its signature blue tint stemming from components on the planet, such as methane gas, but the JWST can’t show them to us. These galaxies sit at gigantic distances from our solar system’s cosmic neighborhood , yet carry wads a lot click this link more cosmic neighborhoods. “Webb’s very stable and precise image excellent permits these extremely faint rings to be detected so close to Neptune.”
Just as importantly, the moon need to nevertheless be moving inside the exact same zodiac sign as she was when she began receiving the planets. Once she has met with them all and is completed, the moon will go void of course. This is the Seeliger Effect, which Hugo von Seeliger initially described more than 100 years ago. Commonly the rings seem as bright as the globe of the planet. But as the planet lines up with the earth and the sun, extra sunlight all of a sudden gets reflected back to us from the rings than from the globe, and the rings take on an extra level of brightness.
At this hour, vibrant Jupiter is less than one particular-third of the way up in the west-southwestern sky. The planet rises shortly immediately after sunset and tends to make its way westward during the evening. Every single September or early October, the vibrant waxing moon appears farther eastward every single evening. The solar system’s angle with the eastern horizon, even though, causes the moon to be about the identical height above the horizon each evening.
We now know that Galileo was observing a “ring plane crossing.” Saturn’s equator is tilted relative to its orbit about the sun by 27 degrees – similar to Earth’s 23-degree tilt. As Saturn circles the sun, very first sneak a peek at this web-site one particular hemisphere and then the other is tilted sunward. The tilt causes seasons, just as it does on Earth, and when Saturn reaches equinox, its equator and ring plane are directly in line with the sun.
That said, there is a possibility of locating microbial life at their different icy moons, or maybe there are other possibilities of life that science has not but deemed. But as of 2021, even smaller, Earth-sized planets we have located are extremely unlikely to host life, a main study concluded. Like Uranus, its atmosphere is mainly made up of hydrogen, helium and methane. It was found in 1846 and had a single spacecraft fly by, which was Voyager two in 1989. We’ve also looked at some of Neptune’s greatest mysteries, such as its ultra-high wind speeds. Scientists are also hoping to place together a mission to stop by each Uranus and Neptune in a couple of decades.
The image was taken working with the Cassini spacecraft’s narrow-angle camera on April 19. The view was has an image scale of .24 mile per pixel, and was taken at a sun-ring-spacecraft angle, or phase angle, of 108 degrees. The view appears toward a point about 80,000 miles from Saturn’s center. The propellers are the tiny, bright her latest blog attributes that appear like double dashes, visible on both sides of the wave pattern that crosses the image diagonally from leading to bottom. There are signs of ancient floods on Mars, but now water largely exists in icy dirt and thin clouds.
Jets of water ice particles spew from Saturn’s moon Enceladus in this image obtained by NASA’s Cassini spacecraft on Aug. 13, 2010. A crescent of the moon seems dimly illuminated in front of the bright limb of Saturn. Saturn’s moon Janus, its rugged surface shown in shadow and light, passes prior to the planet’s rings. This image from NASA’s Dawn spacecraft shows Cornelia crater on asteroid Vesta with a sharp, fresh rim. Cornelia crater has a spectacular internal structure, which consists of bright and dark mater… In this image obtained by NASA’s Cassini spacecraft on its closest flyby of Saturn’s moon Rhea, the heavily cratered surface of the moon seems in good detail.
The South Pole of Enceladus turned out to be its most interesting function, and thus it was observed by Cassini on many occasions. Closer observations revealed that Enceladus was in reality releasing vast amounts of water vapor into space. This progressively flexes Enceladus, stretching the moon when it is far and compressing it when it’s close. This heat melts subsurface ice to form an underground ocean that could be ten occasions deeper than the deepest ocean on Earth. The warm subsurface ocean partially melts ice on the surface, developing the massive cracks and fissures we can see right now.
The identical commonly goes for the rest, with varying compositions of ice and cosmic dust. Substantial planets, in their infancy, are swaddled by a swirling disk of gas and dust. Ordinarily, most of their moons, if there are any, form in tandem with the planet from that disk. Uranus was imaged on October 25 in the course of springtime in its northern hemisphere.
Under the ice covering of about 100 kilometers on Europa lies a global ocean, which is heated above the freezing point by the effective tides of Jupiter, the gaseous giant. The mission’s purpose will be to discover a landing zone for the European Space Agency’s Europa Lander. On its final dive among Saturn’s rings on September 15, 2017, Cassini’s path will send it plunging into the planet’s atmosphere. For up to 3 minutes the spacecraft will struggle to maintain its antenna pointed toward Earth, transmitting final information ahead of disintegrating into the planet it has explored for so long.

Hellas Chaos on Mars / ESA/DLR/FU Berlin / CC BY-SA 3.0 IGO
As of yesterday, the European Space Agency is now sharing all of its images and videos from the Mars Express mission under CC BY-SA. ESA is using the IGO port of CC BY-SA 3.0. ESA is one of several intergovernmental organizations to use the IGO port since we introduced it last year.
From ESA’s announcement:
Since January 2004, ESA and its partners at the German Aerospace Center (DLR) and the Freie Universität Berlin (FUB) have been jointly publishing colour, stereo pictures of the martian surface from orbit, both still and moving. For example, a “Mars showcase” video, comprised of HRSC images, has been viewed almost 700,000 times since it was published on ESA’s Youtube channel in 2013.
But starting today, something is different with these regular image releases: in a joint undertaking by all three partners, Mars Express HRSC images will be made available under a Creative Commons (CC) licence. The licence we will apply is the same one we recently introduced for Rosetta NAVCAM images: CC BY-SA IGO 3.0.
While at ESA we have only just begun releasing content under Creative Commons licences, our partners at DLR have been using CC as their standard licencing policy since 2012. Nevertheless, there is still something just a little bit special about the news today: as far as we know, it is the first time that three public organisations in Europe have teamed up in licencing a batch of joint content under Creative Commons.
ESA also posted this amazing video yesterday, making it the first video of Mars the agency has published under BY-SA:Posted 19 December 2014 | aerospace |

Most notable on the airport side is a new ramp that connects its hangars to the airport taxiway network. Work began during EAA AirVenture, when the school’s flight training activities take a break. Work is progressing ahead of schedule, says Airport Director Peter Moll. When the fall semester starts, flight students will not have to contend with heavy equipment, and they should also be learning in the facility’s new 8,000-square-foot addition.
Filling the space will be the pilot training program’s existing fixed flight simulators and two new full-motion Redbird FMX flight simulators, said lead flight instructor Jared Huss. Learning essential skills in the simulators before putting them into practice in an airplane is not only cost efficient, it provides an ideal environment for effective learning.
The addition’s timing couldn’t be better, he continued, because “we are busting at the seams with enrollment.” A contributing factor is FVTC’s partnership with the University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh that will enable flight students to earn a four-year degree in aviation management.
The addition will also house a large lab for FVTC’s construction management program, three general study classrooms, a computer café where students can work outside of the classrooms, and a window-walled commons area where they can unwind or prepare for their next class. Without a doubt, Huss said, “it’s exciting time here at the SJ Spanbauer Center.” | aerospace |

This is the 17th experiment of Arrow intercept and the 11th examined, as they were developed as part of the improvement program, ASIP, the collaboration between Israel and United States.
The target missile visualized the future threat in several extremely challenging characteristics.
The target trajectory visualized an operational scenario and all of the weapon's system assembles performed in their operational form.
After the launch of the target the weapon system has entered the "play" mode and started its operation. The fire control radar (FCR) acquired the target and sent its data to the battle management command and control (BMC). A defense plan was issued and a mission command was sent to the launcher. The interceptor was launched towards its target with its improved functions.
The interceptor has performed successfully and eliminated the target.
Representatives from the Israeli missile defense organization (IMOD) cooperating with the US missile defense agency (MDA) both took part in the Arrow program.
Peace activists can now explain, in detail, why this is a bad thing and how "Palestinians" will suffer, now that their "legitimate resistance" might become not only useless in its power to "resist" occupation but also in its power to murder Jews.
Who thinks it would be funny if the mechanism, instead of destroying incoming rockets, turned them around so they hit a place close to whence they came? Would it be Israel's fault if an Arab rocket hits Arabs? Thought so. | aerospace |

Race To Save Hubble
"Veteran astronaut Scott Altman will command the final space shuttle mission to service NASA's Hubble Space Telescope. During the 11-day mission's five spacewalks, astronauts will install two new instruments, repair two inactive ones and perform the component replacements that will keep the telescope functioning into at least 2014. If the mission is a success, the Hubble will be 90 times more powerful." | aerospace |

One major question presented by astronomy is ‘How was the universe formed and how has it changed since its formation?’ This question and others are examined through a number of scientific fields and processes, such as evolution, physics, and chemistry.
Astronomy is widely regarded as one of the oldest scientific fields of study. Civilizations from ancient times observed the night sky and documented what they saw. Artifacts that have been uncovered by archaeologists suggest early astronomy recordings of stars and other observations seen in the sky. Early people used the stars to measure time in the long-term by formulating calendars. Not only were the stars used to make observations and to measure time, but some early civilizations used stars as a navigational tool, especially when sailing through the ocean.
Today, astronomy is a vital tool for the further development of space astronomy exploration. Exploration of outer space is done by various methods, such as manned spacecraft flights and remotely-controlled robotics. Both space astronomy and space exploration are professions which complement each other, while providing useful information to the development of astronomy space and relying on each other’s advancements. Without space exploration, images from the Hubble Space Telescope would not be possible. At the same time, without images from the Hubble Space Telescope, dreams and planning of deep space exploration would not be feasible.
Technology has always paved the way for advancements in space exploration and astronomy. Space exploration would not be possible if it wasn’t for the invention of liquid-fueled rocket engines and of course, the telescope used for astronomy. Space exploration is continued due to many reasons, such as advancing scientific knowledge, as a means of united nations together, for military and strategic advantages, and for the preservation of humanity’s future.
Space astronomy and exploration has been historically used as a proxy for the rivalries that were fueled during the Cold War. The term, “Space Race” was often used to describe the Soviet Union and United States’ entry into space exploration. The Soviet Union was the first nation to put a man in space to orbit the Earth, which was called Sputnik 1. The United States, however, was the first nation to put a man on the moon, using the spacecraft Apollo 11.
While most space exploration were performed by governmental-funded agencies, such as NASA, the future of space exploration may turn out to be quite different. There are already plans of private ventures of spaceflight companies. There are even incentives given for privately-funded entities to place a robot on the moon successfully, such as in the case of the Google Lunar X-Prize. This is a contest that will award a sum of $20 million to the first team to perform this task. | aerospace |

The Russian satellite was out of control, Matney said.
The article goes on to explain that at the beginning of 2009 there were roughly 17,000 pieces of man-made debris orbiting Earth. The items, at least 4 inches in size, are being tracked by the U.S. Space Surveillance Network, which is operated by the military. (Read more about space junk here.)

https://www.onsecrethunt.com/what-is-considered-aerobatic/ | 2024-02-29T18:18:47 | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-10/segments/1707947474852.83/warc/CC-MAIN-20240229170737-20240229200737-00425.warc.gz | 0.927906 | 1,481 | CC-MAIN-2024-10 | webtext-fineweb__CC-MAIN-2024-10__0__168063850 | en | In June 1949, the FAA removed the requirement to perform spins during private pilot checkrides. … There you will learn that a spin is really an aggravated (uncoordinated) stalled condition that results in the airplane falling while rotating (spiraling) about a vertical axis.
What planes can do aerobatics?
- MX Aircraft MX2 (2002)
- MX Aircraft MXS.
- North American P-51 Mustang (1940)
- North American SNJ/T-6 Texan (1935)
- Piper J-3 Cub (Flying farmer act) (1938)
- Piper PA-18 Super Cub (1949)
- Pitts Special (Homebuilt – 1944)
- Pitts Model 12 (Homebuilt – 1996)
Do you have to wear a parachute to do aerobatics?
Join Today! Therefore, when the only person on board is the pilot, and no others are carried, a parachute is not required. … However, when a passenger is carried in an aircraft during aerobatics, all persons on board INCLUDING crewmember(s) are required to be wearing parachutes.
Are parachutes required for spins?
Parachutes are required by § 91.307(c) for maneuvers exceeding 60 degrees of bank or 30 degrees nose-up or nose-down attitude, unless an exception applies.
Why do stunt planes smoke?
In jets, the smoke oil system works with a fuel pump which transport the liquid from its tank to nozzles secured to the exhaust port. As the liquid oil comes into contact with the heated exhaust from the airplane, the oil burns, emitting its highly visible smoke.
What is the best aerobatic plane in the world?
The Top 5 Aerobatic Aircraft (and Why)
- The Top 5 Aerobatic Aircraft (and Why) While aerobatic pilots are united in their precision, high skill level, and bravery, they usually differ in what the “best” aerobatic aircraft is. …
- Extra 330SC. …
- Sukhoi Su-29. …
- Pitts S-2C and S-1/2 Series. …
- Edge 540.
Can I do aerobatics?
Aerobatic maneuvers are flight paths putting aircraft in unusual attitudes, in air shows, dogfights or competition aerobatics. … Nearly all aircraft are capable of performing aerobatics maneuvers of some kind, although it may not be legal or safe to do so in certain aircraft.
Can a private pilot do aerobatics?
Aerobatics is pretty much the most extreme sport there is. … If you are interested learning to fly aerobatics the first thing to do would be to learn how to fly an aircraft and then get an aerobatic rating with either a Private Pilot Licence (PPL) or a Commercial Pilot Licence (CPL).
Which wing is more stalled in a spin?
The “more stalled” wing is on the inside of the spin, it flies at a higher angle-of-attack, and it generates less lift than the outside wing. Since your high wing generates more lift than the low wing, it rolls your aircraft into the spin.
Is a Cessna 172 certified for spins?
The Cessna 172 is used a lot for training and is approved for spins when operated in the Utility Category. … The later model 172s will spin, and are approved, but they just don’t spin as nicely as the old ones.
What bank angle is considered aerobatic?
Section 51 also requires the use of parachutes, and defines aerobatics as banks over 60o, pitch attitudes over 30o and prohibits carrying passengers. Aerobatics vary by aircraft type.
What is a Svfr clearance?
John: “A Special VFR Clearance is an ATC authorization for a VFR aircraft to operate in weather that is less than the basic VFR minima. … On those days when there is a stubborn 900 foot cloud deck over the airport but you can see into the next county, a SVFR clearance can let you fly towards better weather.
What are basic VFR minimums?
Basic VFR Weather Minimums
cloud ceiling at least 1,000 feet AGL; and. ground visibility at least 3 statute miles (usually measured by ATC but, if not available, flight visibility at least 3 statute miles as estimated by the pilot).
What is the difference between acrobatics and aerobatics?
“Aerobatic” refers specifically to flight, and “acrobatic” refers specifically to feats of the human body, so referring to an aircraft as performing acrobatics is wrong. That said, the word “aerobatic” is derived from “aero-acrobatics” and sounds nearly identical, so it’s an understandable and relatively common error.
How much do aerobatic pilots make?
Aerobatic pilots, or stunt pilots, perform in aerial shows, compete with other aerobatic pilots, and train pilots in aerobatic flight. The pay of stunt pilots varies tremendously, but the median earnings of this job pay between $50,000 and $70,000.
What is the lowest altitude permitted for acrobatic flight?
No person may operate an aircraft in acrobatic flight when
less than 2,500 feet AGL.
Is RV 12 aerobatic?
The RV-12 is a real airplane. … It’s no high-performance aerobatic airplane, but flying through various basic maneuvers makes you want to do them over and over again just because it’s such fun. The RV-12 is able to get a lot of performance from its 100 horsepower, liquid cooled Rotax engine.
How much does an extra 330 cost?
Current Price $ 295,000 U.S.
How fast is the stunt plane in jailbreak?
This vehicle is supposedly based on the Eurofighter Typhoon or Dassault Rafale. Players debate which aircraft the Jet is based off, as the 2 fighter jets are incredibly similar. In real life, the Eurofighter Typhoon has a top speed of 1550mph (2495km/h), which is about Mach 2 (twice the speed of sound).
How do I turn on smoke in War Thunder?
Go to options, controls, full aircraft control, select (aerobatics smoke) assign preferred control.
What is the white thing that comes out of a plane?
Jets leave white trails, or contrails, in their wakes for the same reason you can sometimes see your breath. The hot, humid exhaust from jet engines mixes with the atmosphere, which at high altitude is of much lower vapor pressure and temperature than the exhaust gas.
How do planes create smoke?
How does it work? The smoke is produced by pumping biodegradable, paraffin-based oil directly onto the hot exhaust nozzles (pistons engines) or exhaust fumes (jet engines) of the aircraft where the oil is instantly vaporized into thick smoke. | aerospace |

CNN Turk cited spokesman Ibrahim Kalin as saying in an interview with the broadcaster evening that the administration of President Joe Biden was making sincere efforts on the issue.
“It’s not very easy to give a clear forecast but it appears there is a high probability of the process being completed in the next month or two,” Kalin was quoted as saying when asked if the United States would sell F-16s to Turkey.
“When this happens the F-16 problem, both the modernization and the purchase of new F-16s, will be resolved.”
Turkey made a request to the United States in October 2021 to buy 40 Lockheed Martin Corp (LMT.N) F-16 fighters and nearly 80 modernization kits for its existing warplanes to update its air force after the purchase of F-35s fell through.
However, sentiment toward Turkey in the U.S. Congress has turned sour over the past few years, according to Reuters, since Ankara acquired Russian-made defense missile systems, triggering U.S. sanctions and Turkey’s removal from the F-35 fighter jet program. | aerospace |

Caveat: my observation is purely personal, not based on scientific research.
I've of course called all the possibly "responsible" agencies for the unbearable noise produced by these 20th-century flying machines (mechanical super-bugs carrying a handful of [I assume] privileged people) during all-too-many hours of the day, asking myself why they're flying so noisily over our (supposedly peaceful) homes, but have gotten no satisfactory answer from any of them.
The most responsible response (but still not an answer to the issue) came from the Office of the Inspector General, FAA (1-800-424-9071). The FAA is supposed to have an answer to my helicopter-noise query by 3/23, if I understood the polite person I talked to there correctly. FYI, my helicopter-noise "complaint" to the FAA has been filed under DOT 1 60 302 15.
If you are experiencing the same helicopter noise-bombardment syndrome, you might wish to call the above no. (1-800-424-9071), citing the DOT no. also mentioned above (DOT 1 60 302 15).
Or, you can buy ear plugs. But they don't work very well. :) | aerospace |

The product is made of very durable, lightweight, polyurethane. The material is resistant to extreme weather conditions, oils, propellants, as well as a high tear and abrasion resistance. Thanks to the material properties, the chock will never rot, crack or splint. Tests have shown that Mark 32 Aircraft Chock takes more wheel force than conventional rubber chock. Mark 32 Chock has an innovative aluminium handle, which generates a lever and thus an increased user-friendliness. A reflex is placed on the outermost part of the handle in order to further visualize the chock if it would be placed behind a wheel. Thanks to the shape of the chock in combination with the handle, it is easy to place at the right place. The material is 100% recyclable. | aerospace |

When it comes to cutting edge technology, The Missile Defense Agency (MDA) looks to Lockheed Martin’s Long-Range Discrimination Radar (LRDR) to defend against new and evolving threats to the United States and its allies. This system when completed will be the most advanced radar system in the world and will provide 24/7 365 long range ability to track, identify and help counter emerging threats and give decision makers the right information at the right time to decisively take action and defend the US.
‘It is being able to consult with projects like this that makes our jobs worth a life’s work” said Bob Hanson of Nationwide Consultants LLC, “from the smallest contributing contractor to the CEO of Lockheed, this project is worldwide priority”.
Clear Air Force Station in Alaska has about the most rugged conditions and frigid temperatures in Alaska and that is where Lockheed Martin and MDA teams just installed the radar’s first array, making another milestone in LRDR’s progress. “You want cold? Go to Clear for a few months” Bob said. These mighty arrays, measuring a combined 60 feet high and 60 feet wide, pack in a lot of sensitivity that enables more accurate discrimination over longer distances. Mot only is the system designed to address today’s threats, but it is also poised to adapt to new threats – like hypersonic threats – without hardware design changes.
The next challenge is finishing up installation of the second array face along with testing the remaining 10% of the stated requirements (SOW).
“LRDR is a crucial addition to the U.S. Missile Defense System portfolio of sensors for Homeland Defense,” said Chandra Marshall, program director, Lockheed Martin Missile Defense& Space Surveillance. “LRDR is a software defined radar that provides enhanced discrimination, improved reaction time, higher kill probability, highest operational availability and is scalable with an open architecture ensuring that this radar will continue to outpace current and emerging threats for decades to come.”

In Uncertain Times, LRDR Brings Unparalleled Capabilities
By utilizing LRDR’s unique polarization approach to accurately identify threats in a dense operating space, it will help preserve the inventory of ground-based interceptors. Lockheed Martin engineers designed this next generation technology to be:
- Adaptable to Future Threats: The radar can be scaled and extended to adapt to new threat sets without changing the hardware design.
- Efficient and reliable: Scalable and modular gallium nitride based “subarray” radar building blocks provide advanced performance and increased efficiency and reliability.
- Round the Clock Eyes on the Skies: LRDR’s unique maintain -while-operate capability provides very high operational availability and enables continuous operation.

Next Generation of Radars Under Construction
“Lockheed Martin’s solid-state radar technology is the building block for the next generation of radars,” says Dr. Rob Smith, Vice President of Radar and Sensor Systems at Lockheed Martin. “The Technology provides our warfighters, as well as our allies, with crucial performance capabilities and mission flexibility.”
Lockheed Martin built a Solid State Radar Integration Site at its campus in Moorestown New Jersey as part of its investment into the advancement of solid state radar (SSR) which offers powerful capabilities to detect, tract and engage sophisticated air and missile threats – including the very complicated task of identifying and countering lethal objects present in enemy ballistic missiles. Lockheed Martin utilized this asset to test about 90% of the program requirements over the last year. This comprehensive testing of the radar proves the maturity of the LRDR product and reduces the timeline required to not only field test LRDR but any future radars that leverage this technology.

A Look at the World’s Most Demanding Missions
Thanks to Lockheed Martin we will meet those maritime and ground-based missions with the next generation of advanced radar technology. It was designated SPY-7(v)1 by the U.S. Government in November if 2019 and it has a jump start on production.
“By using LRDR’s mature technology as the building block for SPY-7, we have been able to accelerate production of the radar. For example, we were able to order long lead material for production just a few months after program award. Normally that process would not begin for at least a year or tow after contract award,” says Marshall. “Most importantly, the use of our SSR technology across multiple platforms allowed us to reduce the dost of our radar by ten percent.”
“Everyone, engineers, logistics, technicians, consultants and contractors know their place at Lockheed Martin, like a well oiled machine that has been running for almost a century,” said Bob Hanson of Nationwide Consulting LLC “It is always an honor to be involved here, this project was so smooth, what a successful outcome for the United States of America.”

Lockheed Martin has been awarded 24 solid state radars, including LRDR, representing a total of 91 antennas of varying sizes and collectively composed of over 15,000 subarrays. These radars provide several times the performance of previous SPY-1 radars and can engage multiple threads simultaneously with the latest proven interceptors. The total number of subarray suites produced on LRDR is equivalent to production of eight Agis SPY-1D radar sets.
Why Lockheed Martin’s SSR is the World’s Most Versatile Radar:
- Polarization Diversity: Provides better fire control tracking, target classification, clutter suppression and electromagnetic environment mitigation.
- Most Efficient Architecture: Highest radar sensitivity for a given size, weight and power.
- High Operational Availability: Innovative operate-while -maintain architecture enables continuous 24/7 operation with no radar downtime for maintenance.
- Digital Beamformer: Robust digital beamformer enables efficient use of radar resources over a large scan volume and improved tracking of advanced threats.

When this is posted, I will have had it for quite a while already, but I still have not flown it quite as much so I can not show you a lot. I will however share some of my first drone photos with you here. Once it gets less windy outdoors, and I have some more time I will try to fly the drone some more and also share my progress here.
What my main goal was for getting a drone, was to gain a new perspective. That was also the thing that I kept in mind most when flying it. I like to find a subject or a pattern from above and then take the photo straight down. That is the most sophisticated thing I can say about it, but I am mostly just trying things and some work out while others do not. Hopefully in a couple of months I can come up with more useful tips for you guys. | aerospace |

The blast-off was to have taken place just days after China landed a rover on Mars, as it hustles ahead with its extraterrestrial ambitions.
Beijing has pumped billions into its space programme in a bid to make up ground on pioneers Russia and the United States, with ambitious projects in Earth orbit and the landing of uncrewed craft on the Moon and Mars.
But it was heavily reprimanded by the United States and many experts for a potentially dangerous breach of space etiquette for letting a massive rocket segment free-fall to Earth earlier this month after launching the core module of China’s space station.
In the now-delayed mission, the Tianzhou-2 cargo craft was to have blasted off on a 14-tonne Long March 7 rocket, and had been expected to carry essentials such as food and space suits to the core module.
The space station — named Tiangong, meaning “heavenly palace” — will need around 10 missions in total to complete assembly in orbit.
Hao Chun, director of the China Manned Space Engineering Office, said the construction of the space station has entered a “critical stage”.
It is expected to remain in low Earth orbit for up to 15 years.
With the possible retirement of the International Space Station after 2028, China’s could become the only human outpost in Earth orbit.
Although Chinese authorities have said they are open to foreign collaboration on their space station, the scope of that cooperation is as yet unclear.
But the European Space Agency has already sent astronauts to China to train for work inside Tiangong when it is ready.
The latest cargo launch was to have come days after China landed its Zhurong rover on Mars, becoming only the third nation to successfully land a craft on the red planet.
The rover is expected to soon start studying Martian geology, spending around three months taking photos and harvesting data from a vast northern lava plain. | aerospace |

Truman on March 8 in the Gulf of Oman. If the automatic, across-the-board spending cuts continue, flight hours will decline about 10 percent a year, according to the deputy Marine Corps commandant for aviation. (MC3 Karl Anderson/Navy)
- Filed Under
More than 70 percent of the Marine Corps’ aviation fleet will not meet combat readiness standards by 2021 if sequestration — the automatic, across-the-board budget cuts — remains in place, the service’s aviation chief warned lawmakers today.
Service leaders estimate that only 27 to 30 percent of the Corps’ aviation fleet will be at “ready to go to war” status seven years from now, according to Lt. Gen. Robert Schmidle, deputy commandant for aviation.
The federal cost-cutting measure reduces flight hours by roughly 10 percent every year. Today, aviation combat readiness stands at about 65 percent, Schmidle told a House Armed Services subcommittee. By 2017, that figure will be below 50 percent, he predicted.
“When we take the flight hours out, we don’t have the hours to fly the airplanes to train the pilots and the readiness continues to go down,” the three-star said.
Schmidle said the Marine Corps’ estimates were based on “strict arithmetic.”
“We took the readiness of the fleet today and we said, if we are sequestered that means we will lose 10 percent a year of our flight time. So if you lose 10 percent of your flight hours across the board every year, what happens in five, six, seven, eight years?” he told Marine Corps Times after the hearing. “You’ve got that many fewer flight hours to fly in order to be able to train the pilots and train the air crews, etc.”
However, “that assumes that the fleet is the same size it is today,” Schmidle said. “It’s assuming that we have to take those hours out of everybody, but if we get relief, and we get extra money for flight hours then, of course, we can begin alleviate that.”
If the service does manage to get some kind of relief from the sequester, “then you would not see those numbers go down,” Schmidle said. | aerospace |

After a thrilling 40-day journey from the Sathish Dhawan Space Center in Sriharikota, Chandrayaan-3, India’s ambitious lunar mission, has landed on the moon’s south pole.
The Vikram lander, which met with a mishap during the Chandrayaan-2 mission, has now successfully reached its target on the lunar surface on the South pole.
The successful landing has not just demonstrated the prowess of the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) but also placed India among the top 4 nations capable of achieving a soft lunar landing. Until now, only Russia, China, and the United States held this esteemed accomplishment.
ISRO confirmed the landing and mentioned their plan to activate Chandrayaan-3’s automatic landing sequence, employing a specialized algorithm for precise touchdown.
The spacecraft is slated to remain operational for two weeks, undertaking various experiments. One significant task is the spectrometer analysis, which aims to understand the mineral composition of the moon’s surface.
SpaceTec Partners’ Managing Director, Carla Filotico, emphasized the importance of this mission, noting that landing on the moon’s south pole could provide insights into the presence of water ice. This data is crucial for advancing our understanding of the moon’s geology.
The primary mission objective is to showcase ISRO‘s proficiency in achieving a controlled landing on the moon. Notably, an attempt for a similar landing with Chandrayaan-2 in 2019 was unsuccessful.
In a notable event coinciding with Chandrayaan-3’s journey, Russia’s space agency also targeted the moon’s south pole region.
India’s space legacy traces back to visionary Vikram Sarabhai, after whom the Vikram lander is named. In the upcoming days, Chandrayaan-3‘s rover will perform an on-site chemical analysis of the lunar surface, continuing India’s exploration of our celestial neighbor. | aerospace |

Seemin Jamali, executive director at the nearby Jinnah Hospital, said at least eight dead bodies and six injured people had been brought in. There were no estimates of casualties on the ground in the area where the plane crashed.
Smoke billowed from the scene where the Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) flight came down, some roofs had caved in, and debris lay scattered in streets as ambulances rushed through chaotic crowds.
At least one passenger on fight PK 8303, a banker, survived and spoke to officials in hospital, provincial government spokesman Abdur Rashid Channa said.
The CEO of Pakistan International Airlines on Friday confirmed that the last message the airline had received from the pilot was to report a technical problem.
The Airbus A320 was flying from the eastern city of Lahore to Karachi in the south just as Pakistan was resuming domestic flights in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic, according to the aircraft tracking website FlightRadar24.
The pilot told air traffic controllers the plane had lost engine power, according to liveatc.net, which has released aircraft recordings in the past.

The Orlando Buzzards are a non-profit organization of RC (radio control) soaring enthusiasts established for the enjoyment of soaring by its members.The members participate in both competition and sport flying of model sailplanes. Members build and fly gliders of all sizes – ranging from as small as 24 inch wingspan to some over 16 feet.
These soaring machines are usually launched up to 600 feet into the air with an electric winch, or an electric motor mounted in the nose, to begin soaring flight. At that point the pilot steers the airplane to where he believes there are rising currents of air to keep his model aloft.
Sometimes flights can last for over an hour and in good conditions even a beginner can keep his sailplane airborne for a long time. The pastime is challenging but always fun and regular contests are conducted for the enjoyment of the members and visitors. Most Saturday mornings members can be found at the local flying field flying and trimming their models.

This season the Falcons will be wearing one of the coolest alternate uniforms we have seen in quite some time with a throwback to the classic era of Air Force fighter jets. After a tease with the first look at the helmets, Air Force showed off the full uniform in all its splendor.

There is a definite steel-vibe to the uniform from head to toe. Air Force looks like a fighter jet with the signature and classic shark tooth design on the helmets, which could be seen on early fighter jets…
Air Force does abandon their traditional blue and white, and that is typically a no-no in my uniform rule book, especially when it is to go with the gimmicky and trendy black and/or gray look. But I tend to give service academies a pass, because they so often have the best thought-out alternate uniform designs. And this one just feels like an Air Force uniform. At first glance, I felt the American flag should remain red, white and blue, but it is customary for the flag to be subdued in color on military uniforms so this is actually a nice touch for Air Force’s uniform. The right shoulder features an Air Force patch instead of the flag.
Just for the heck of it, let’s have a closer look at that fantastic helmet design.

Petrone graduated from the United States Military Academy and was commissioned an Ordnance officer in 1946.
After serving in maintenance units for three years in Germany, the Army sent him to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He earned a masters degree in mechanical engineering from MIT in 1951 and was well on his way to completing a doctorate when the Army transferred him to Redstone Arsenal in 1952 to join the Ordnance Corps' Redstone Missile Program. While assigned to the Arsenal, he participated in the development of the Redstone, the nation's first ballistic missile and was a member of the Missile Firing Laboratory when the first Redstone launch took place at Cape Canaveral in August 1953. Thus, began Petrone's long association with America's missile development program, first with the Ordnance Corps and then with the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA).
From 1956 to 1960, he served on the Army General Staff where he worked closely with the Office of the Chief of Ordnance to develop maintenance support packages for the emerging family of Army rockets and guided missiles. Afterwards, the Army agreed to loan him to NASA at Cape Kennedy as the Saturn project officer, and in 1961, he was assigned as the Apollo Program Manager. While on loan to NASA, he was involved in the first 4 Saturn launches and was responsible for the planning, construction, and activation of the launch facilities for the Apollo Program.
In 1966, he retired from the Army as a lieutenant colonel and joined the civilian workforce at NASA as the Director of Launch Operations. His launch team was responsible for the checkout and launching of all space vehicles, to include the famous Apollo 11, the first lunar landing. Subsequently, he was promoted to Director of the Apollo Program in Washington, DC, where he was responsible for the overall direction and management of the remaining Apollo launches, and then assigned as Program Director for the Joint US/Soviet Apollo-Soyuz Test Project. In recognition of his contributions to the nation, Rollins College awarded him an honorary Doctorate of Science in 1969.
In 1973, NASA appointed him as the Director of the Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama, and shortly thereafter as the Associate Administrator at NASA Headquarters. In this position, he was the third-ranking executive in NASA and responsible for all of NASA's research and development programs.
When he left NASA in 1975, he was appointed President and Chief Executive of the non-profit National Center for Resource Recovery, dedicated to the recovery of materials and energy from solid waste.
In 1981, Dr. Petrone joined Rockwell International and became President of the Space Transportation Systems Division where he was charged with the development and production of the space shuttle orbiter and continued his work as one of America's pioneers in guided missile and space flight development. | aerospace |

experiential flight simulator
The goal of this experience was to collect data on the participants’ emotions, reactions to simulation flying in an immersive environment, and measure the effectiveness of immersion of the physical space in which it took place in. The experience was held the week of the Thinking Creatively Conference at Kean University.
TOTAL COST: $476.31
Participants entered the flight simulator and were tasked with a mission to complete to the best of their ability. Once the mission was completed, they were asked several questions about how they were feeling regarding the physical space, the music, and several other elements. The focus of the data was to see if a sense of confidence in flying an airplane could be replicated in a simulator instead of a real aircraft.
The only elements that were not custom-built were the computer flight controls and the simulator software. However, the mission in the simulator was specifically designed and programed for this experience. | aerospace |

The launch seeks to test “how the threat of a drone swarm, in general, is becoming increasingly real and will present increasingly serious challenges for armed forces around the world in future conflicts.”
The system, developed by gunsmiths from China Electronics Technology Group Corporation (CETC), performs reconnaissance and attack missions on ground targets.
According to the RT report, last year military exercises of this type were held in Tibet. During the maneuvers, the work of a squad of 12 drones was demonstrated. | aerospace |

On November 14, 1969, Apollo 12 was struck by lightning 36 seconds after liftoff. This caused a power surge, and instruments on the spacecraft began to malfunction. All telemetry was garbled. A decision to abort the mission was imminent. However NASA engineer, John Aaron, flight controller for the mission realized he had seen the on-screen error pattern before. He calmly suggested that the crew “try SCE to AUX”. This immediately fixed the problem. Apollo 12 was able to continue to the moon, and John Aaron’s calm response has become one for the ages.
This t-shirt captures Aaron’s response in the style of the “Keep Calm and Carry On” campaign used on posters in Great Britain during WWII. If you have a geeky friend, spouse, or parent who loves space exploration, this shirt will make the perfect gift.

Hidden Manna For the End Times
Michael Weber - 10/12/2008
In a dream, I was watching a red airplane trying to take off. This plane could not get off the ground; it had two pilots. (After meditating on the dream, I realized they were Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke and Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson.) They tried towing the plane behind a vehicle to get it in the air but nothing was working. It would get up in the air slightly, then fall back down. Finally, the plane bounced up into the air and started spinning violently. The wing fell off and the plane crashed to the ground. The two pilots looked hurt but I wasn't sure if they were killed or just injured.
I saw that the red plane is debt and the financial system, which is spinning out of control and no matter what efforts are done to get it up in the air it won't work. | aerospace |

This flying spherical spy drone being developed my the Japanese Self Defense Force seems to have a crush on this lady reporter, and it’s not too subtle about it. The following video is a pretty impressive demo of what this little stalker can do.
Dubbed the “Spherical Flight Vehicle”, this drone has been in development for a year and a half. It can fly for 8 minutes at a time and can reach speeds of up to 60km/h. This current demo is remote controlled but an autonomous flight system is being developed. So we can blame the stalking on the guy piloting the thing.

Mission X is a peculiar proposal for a manned flight to Mars, designed to be, on the one side, cost-effective and on the other, possible with the existing technology. In the course of time, more and more of Mars will be open to human exploration as multiple habitat modules will be sent to the same site and linked together allowing for the beginning of a permanent human settlement on the Red Planet. What will the path to that successful endeavour look like, how many astronauts and rockets will be launched, and how long will it last? | aerospace |

This first of its kind effort on our part has attracted the global audience as we were featured on CNN as the first Nigerian car maker to make jet parts and take NAF to the sky in fighter jets.
To further solidify this patriotic act and ensure the continuous supply of the fighter jet parts to NAF, the Chief of Air Force ably represented by Air Vice Marshal, J. M. Gbum and other top ranking Air Force Officials visited our Nnewi facility yesterday (on the 29th of March, 2016) to finalize the contract of supplying fighter jet parts to NAF.
The leader of the team, Air Vice Marshal, J. M. Gbum said IVM passed the test of assisting in manufacturing brake assemblage haulage for activation of grounded aircraft which would in turn step up operation in the northeast against Boko Haram. According to him, the collaboration will also encourage indigenous manufacturing.
The revisit to the facility, culminated with a signed Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between IVM and NAF.
The agreement is aimed at ensuring adequate maintenance of the Air Force’s air fleet. With the agreement, the Nigerian Air Force hopes to surmount the challenge of searching for spare parts in several countries around the world which had led to the grounding of many of its aircraft.
With this finalized arrangement, we are not only conquering the ground with our automobile brands, we are also helping NAF to conquer the air and defeat Boko Haram insurgency in Nigeria. | aerospace |

It did not have possibility of the Soviet Union to keep tragedy of the Soyuz-1 in secret, as was habit of the Communists, for some reasons. As the launching happened as part of the commemorations for the anniversary of Lnin, the flight was very ovacionado in the Soviet press and it would not have as to deny the death of the cosmonaut to the end of the mission. Moreover, for being the first flight of new espaonave, it had interest in the Ocidente even though on as it would be the course of the mission.

The objective of the project Communicating Cabin is to improve comfort and efficiency of a modern aircraft cabin. The overall consideration of cabin procedures, new synergistic applications, communication practices, and new lighting scenarios shall result in increased cabin systems reliability and availability.
Besides the cabin procedures the corresponding ramp operations have to be considered as well. In the subproject "Digital ramp agent" the Institute of Aircraft Cabin Systems specifies physical processes and information exchange at the interface between cabin and ramp. As a result the specification is an executable model, which will be realized by using a standardized modelling language. This model will be used to define a technological concept. Next, an implementation for chosen areas will be realized. A validation of the model will be done in a field test. For this purpose rapid prototyping procedures will be used, which enable the integration of real hardware components of innovative information and communication systems into the model. | aerospace |

Ron Howard; 140minutes; 7,7 of 10; year=1995; writer=Jeffrey Kluger, Jim Lovell; genres=Drama. NASA Forty-three years ago today, the Apollo 13 spacecraft splashed down into the Pacific Ocean following one of the most remarkable recovery missions in space history. Inside was mission commander Jim Lovell, 42, lunar module pilot Fred Haise, 36, and commander module pilot Jack Swigert, 38. Apollo 13, which blasted into space on April 11, 1970, was supposed to land on the moon. But an explosion in one part of the spacecraft less than three days after launch forced NASA to abort the mission. The mission is still considered a "successful failure" because the three astronauts returned to Earth safely. Around 47 hours into the mission, everything seemed to be running smoothly. "The spacecraft is in real good shape as far as we are concerned. We're bored to tears down here, " Capsule communicator Joe Kerwin says. Sigurd A. Sjoberg, director of flight operations views the Apollo 13 liftoff from a console in the mission control center. Scientist-Astronaut Joseph P. Kerwin, a spacecraft communicator for the mission, looks on at right. Just 9 hours later, the crew finished a television broadcast showing how comfortable it is to live on the spacecraft in zero gravity. Lovell closed with a warm good night: This is the crew of Apollo 13 wishing everybody there a nice evening, and we're just about ready to close out our inspection of Aquarius and get back for a pleasant evening in Odyssey. Good night. " A few minutes after the broadcast wraped, ground control asked Swigert to perform a routine procedure called a cryo-stir. This involved powering fans to stir two oxygen tanks in the service module, which prevented the liquid oxygen from settling into layers. Thirteen minutes after the bang Lovell peers out the window. It's the final indication that something disastrous has happened. "It looks to me that we are venting something, " Lovell reports from Apollo 13. "We're venting something out into space. It's a gas of some sort. " That gas was the oxygen the crew not only needed in order to breathe, but also to power the fuel cells that generated water and power for the spacecraft. The command module (where the crew lived) was quickly losing power. The mission was aborted. Apollo 13 would not land on the moon. What went wrong? An investigation later determined that exposed wires shorted when the fan was turned on to stir the oxygen tanks. The spark, fueled by pure oxygen, ignited the Tungsten insulation. This started a fire inside the number 2 oxygen tank, increasing pressure and causing it to explode. Back in the control center, NASA had called all of its top people in within a few hours of the explosion. With the command module crippled, the decision was made to move the crew to the lunar module (designed to land on the moon), which would act as a "lifeboat. " Lovell is pictured here inside the lunar module. This would present several future challenges. The lunar module was only designed to support two men for two days (like in this artist's concept of Apollo 13 astronauts exploring the moon's surface). Now it was being used to support three men for about 90 hours. The crew had enough back-up oxygen, but the build-up of carbon dioxide would soon be an issue. The new mission was to get the lunar module in a free-return-to-Earth trajectory. Prior to the explosion, the craft was on course for the moon. The free-return course required slinging the lunar module around the moon, back to Earth, and landing in the Pacific Ocean. A telescope photographs the Apollo 13 spacecraft in the lunar-free return, which will take the craft around the far side of the moon, and back to Earth. After a day and a half in the lunar module, a warning light goes off showing dangerous levels of carbon dioxide. The crew could use the canisters used to remove carbon dioxide from the command module, but there was one problem: The command module used square canisters, while the lunar module used round ones. Mission control came up with a makeshift system using only materials available on the craft, like plastic bags, cardboard, and tape, to make this work. The crew photographs the far side of the moon from the Apollo 13 spacecraft on their perilous journey home. The trip is gruesome. There is very little food and water. Most electrical systems, including heat, were shut down to conserve power. The crew can't sleep because it is so cold. At one point the temperature drops to 38 degrees Fahrenheit. Four hours before landing, the damaged service module was released from the command module. The crew snapped pictures, and for the first time, were able to see the full extent of the damage. A view of the service module from the lunar module, which is still attached to the command module. The moon can be seen in the distant background. "There's one whole side of that spacecraft missing, " Jim Lovell said. An entire panel of the service module had been blown away when the oxygen tank exploded, as seen in this close-up image. About to splash down in the South Pacific Ocean, the crew moved back into the command module. The lunar module was shed from the command module. A view of Apollo 13 lunar module from the command module. A large screen in front of the mission control room shows the spacecraft with its parachutes deployed. The capsule and its parachutes are visible after breaking through dark clouds. The spacecraft splashes down on April 17, 1970 at 12:07 p. m. The total voyage time was about 142 hours. Mission control celebrates! The astronauts are pulled from the command module onto life rafts. Haise, Lovell, and Swigert step off a helicopter onto recovery ship U. S. Iwo Jima. After the crew is safely on the ship, the command module is pulled on board. A day later, Lovell reads the newspaper account of Apollo 13's rescue while still on board the U. Iwo Jima. President Richard Nixon presents the nation's highest civilian award to the Apollo 13 crew on April 18. After Apollo 13, eight more Apollo spacecraft flew. None of them experienced problems.

Since the TV SEC (Secondary Electron Conduction) vidicon as used in Apollo 12 was replaced with a newly developed SIT (Silicon Intensifier Tube) on Apollo 14 to minimize the possibility of having a repeat of the Apollo 12 fiasco.

A Universal Handling Tool (UHT) sticks up on a diagonal out of each of the packages. In Lovell's flown cuff checklist, the UHTs are called 'putters', no doubt because of their resemblance golf 'putters'. The RTG package is on Jim's left. Scan by Ed Hengeveld. KSC-70PC-11 ( 96k) Fred Haise practices use of the Apollo Lunar Surface Close-up Camera, also known as the Gold Camera. Pickering. KSC-70PC-16 ( 11 Mb or 0. 25 Mb) NASA caption, 28 January 1970: "Fred W. Haise Jr., Apollo 13 Lunar Module Pilot, participated in a walk-through of the extravehicular activity timeline near the flight crew training building here today. In the foreground is the lunar surface tool carrier, topped by auger-like pipes, to be used with a motorized device to obtain soil sample cores in the Moon’s rugged Fra Mauro region. Apollo 13 is scheduled for launch from Complex 39’s Pad A no earlier than April 13. The other crew members are James A. Lovell, Jr., commander, and Thomas K. Mattingly II, Command Module pilot. " Note that Haise has a 16-mm DAC movie camera mounted on his RCU bracket. The featureless box mounted on the camera of Haise's right is a battery for the DAC. Scan courtesy Margaret Persinger, KSC.

The drill-stem rack is in the foreground. Scan by Ed Hengeveld. KSC-70PC-13 ( 152k) Fred Haise has a Universal Handling Tool (UHT) in his right hand. The drill is at his right and drill stem rack is at his left. On the Moon, Fred plans to drill to two holes to the heat flow experiment and one core hole. In drilling the core hole, he uses six 42. 5-cm stem, emplacing one stem and then attaching the next before extracting the entire string. Here, he has evidently just drawn the string out of the buried container which contains lunar soil simulant. As Dave Scott discovered on Apollo 15, lunar soil is more compact than expected at depth and extraction of the core was extremely difficult. Later crews had a jack and treadle to help with the extraction. Scan by Ed Hengeveld. KSC-70PC-12 ( 144k or 353k) Jim Lovell (left) and Fred Haise pose at the foot of a LM simulator. Jim has tongs attached to his yo-yo. Note that the lettering on Lovell's RCU, reading "J. Lovell", is in red while the lettering on Haise's RCU, reading "F. Haise", is in black. The MESA is visible behind Jim and appears to be completely unloaded. Research by J. Pickering. KSC-70PC-15 ( 172k) Apollo 13 Commander Jim Lovell carries the ALSEP packages during training at the Cape. Fred Haise is in the background at the left, apparently walking out from the training building. The RTG pallet is on Lovell's left. Note the locking mechanism with which the pallets are secured to the carrybar and, also, the Universal Handling Tool (UHT) attached to each of the pallets. Scan by Kipp Teague. KSC-70PC-16 ( 120k) Apollo 13 Commander Jim Lovell prepares to use the 'crank' to adjust the erectable S-Band antenna pointing, probably first in elevation. Scan courtesy Margaret Persinger, KSC. KSC-70PC-18 ( 144k or 800k) Close-up of Fred Haise during training. Ulli Lotzmann calls attention to the fact that Fred is using a RCU-mounted Data Acquisition Camera (DAC). RCU mounting brackets for DAC cameras were flown on all the missions from Apollo 13 to Apollo 17, but the only training photos of RCU-mounted DACs are from Apollo 13. This image also gives us an excellent view of Fred's spiral-bound cuff checklist. A page in Jim Lovell's cuff checklist for activities at 1+00 into the EVA indicates that Fred sent a DAC out from the cabin in the ETB. Jim then mounted the DAC on his RCU to film Fred's egress. Item 155 in the Apollo 13 CM launch stowage list is "Camera/Power Pack Assy 16MH L. S. ", which is clearly a battery-powered DAC configured for use on the lunar surface. Pickering.

The RTG is behind Jim on the righthand side of the photo. In this image, we can see that the nametag on the left front of the RCU has red letters and, from other pictures in this sequence, we know that Jim's lettering is red while Fred's is black. Note the pattern of Velcro strips on the top of Jim's OPS, particularly the short strip just forward of the antenna, which can be used to identify him when other clues are not available. In this and the following images, Jim has his side visors up. Scan by Kipp Teague. 70-HC-80 ( 204k or 1657k) Fred Haise positions the drill stem rack during training. The battery-powered drill is at his left and a buried can filled with lunar soil simulant is on the righthand side of the picture. Note the wide pitch - perhaps 1 cm - of the thread on the drill stems. Fred has his watch on his right arm and, as can be seen in good detail in this photo, a spiral-bound checklist on his left wrist. A Universal Handling Tool (UHT) is attached to the yo-yo at his waist. Note the pattern of Velcro strips on the top of his OPS and the fact that he has his side visors down. Note, also, that Fred's OPS antenna has a red color, whereas Jim's in prior images had a silver color. Scan by Kipp Teague. 70-H-293 ( 87k) Benchtop photo of the 16-mm Data Acquisition Camera (DAC).

Free Apollo 13: The IMAX expérience utilisateur
Free apollo 13: the imax experience 1. Failure is always an option. Sketch of a circumlunar free return trajectory (not to scale) A free-return trajectory is a trajectory of a spacecraft traveling away from a primary body (for example, the Earth) where gravity due to a secondary body (for example, the Moon) causes the spacecraft to return to the primary body without propulsion (hence the term free). Earth–Moon [ edit] The first spacecraft to use a free-return trajectory was the Soviet Luna 3 mission in October 1959. It used the Moon's gravity to send it back towards the Earth so that the photographs it had taken of the far side of the Moon could be downloaded by radio. Symmetrical free-return trajectories were studied by Arthur Schwaniger of NASA in 1963 with reference to the Earth–Moon system. He studied cases in which the trajectory at some point crosses at a right angle the line going through the centre of the Earth and the centre of the Moon, and also cases in which the trajectory crosses at a right angle the plane containing that line and perpendicular to the plane of the Moon's orbit. In both scenarios we can distinguish between: A circumlunar free-return trajectory around the Moon. The spacecraft passes behind the Moon. It moves there in a direction opposite to that of the Moon, or at least slower than the Moon in the same direction. If the craft's orbit begins in a normal (west to east) direction near Earth, then it makes a figure 8 around the Earth and Moon when plotted in a coordinate system that rotates as the Moon goes around the Earth. A cislunar free-return trajectory. The spacecraft goes beyond the orbit of the Moon, returns to inside the Moon's orbit, moves in front of the Moon while being diverted by the Moon's gravity to a path away from the Earth to beyond the orbit of the Moon again, and is drawn back to Earth by Earth's gravity. (There is no real distinction between these trajectories and similar ones that never go beyond the Moon's orbit, but the latter may not get very close to the Moon, so are not considered as relevant. ) In both the circumlunar case and the cislunar case, the craft can be moving generally from west to east around the Earth (co-rotational), or from east to west (counter-rotational). For trajectories in the plane of the Moon's orbit with small periselenum radius (close approach of the Moon), the flight time for a cislunar free-return trajectory is longer than for the circumlunar free-return trajectory with the same periselenum radius. Flight time for a cislunar free-return trajectory decreases with increasing periselenum radius, while flight time for a circumlunar free-return trajectory increases with periselenum radius. The speed at a perigee of 6555 km from the centre of the Earth for trajectories passing between 2000 and 20 000 km from the Moon is between 10. 84 and 10. 92 km/s regardless of whether the trajectory is cislunar or circumlunar or whether it is co-rotational or counter-rotational. Using the simplified model where the orbit of the Moon around the Earth is circular, Schwaniger found that there exists a free-return trajectory in the plane of the orbit of the Moon which is periodic. After returning to low altitude above the Earth (the perigee radius is a parameter, typically 6555 km) the spacecraft would start over on the same trajectory. This periodic trajectory is counter-rotational (it goes from east to west when near the Earth). It has a period of about 650 hours (compare with a sidereal month, which is 655. 7 hours, or 27. 3 days). Considering the trajectory in an inertial (non-rotating) frame of reference, the perigee occurs directly under the Moon when the Moon is on one side of the Earth. Speed at perigee is about 10. 91 km/s. After 3 days it reaches the Moon's orbit, but now more or less on the opposite side of the Earth from the Moon. After a few more days, the craft reaches its (first) apogee and begins to fall back toward the Earth, but as it approaches the Moon's orbit, the Moon arrives, and there is a gravitational interaction. The craft passes on the near side of the Moon at a radius of 2150 km (410 km above the surface) and is thrown back outwards, where it reaches a second apogee. It then falls back toward the Earth, goes around to the other side, and goes through another perigee close to where the first perigee had taken place. By this time the Moon has moved almost half an orbit and is again directly over the craft at perigee. Other cislunar trajectories are similar but do not end up in the same situation as at the beginning, so cannot repeat. There will of course be similar trajectories with periods of about two sidereal months, three sidereal months, and so on. In each case, the two apogees will be further and further away from Earth. These were not considered by Schwaniger. This kind of trajectory can occur of course for similar three-body problems; this problem is an example of a circular restricted three-body problem. While in a true free-return trajectory no propulsion is applied, in practice there may be small mid-course corrections or other maneuvers. A free-return trajectory may be the initial trajectory to allow a safe return in the event of a systems failure; this was applied in the Apollo 8, Apollo 10, and Apollo 11 lunar missions. In such a case a free return to a suitable reentry situation is more useful than returning to near the Earth, but then needing propulsion anyway to prevent moving away from it again. Since all went well, these Apollo missions did not have to take advantage of the free return and inserted into orbit upon arrival at the Moon. The atmospheric entry interface velocity upon return from the Moon is approximately 36, 500 ft/s (11. 1 km/s; 40, 100 km/h; 24, 900 mph) whereas the more common spacecraft return velocity from low-Earth orbit (LEO) is approximately 7. 8 km/s (28, 000 km/h; 17, 000 mph). Due to the landing-site restrictions that resulted from constraining the launch to a free return that flew by the Moon, subsequent Apollo missions, starting with Apollo 12 and including the ill-fated Apollo 13, used a hybrid trajectory that launched to a highly elliptical Earth orbit that fell short of the Moon with effectively a free return to the atmospheric entry corridor. They then performed a mid-course maneuver to change to a trans-Lunar trajectory that was not a free return. This retained the safety characteristics of being on a free return upon launch and only departed from free return once the systems were checked out and the lunar module was docked with the command module, providing back-up maneuver capabilities. In fact, within hours after the accident, Apollo 13 used the lunar module to maneuver from its planned trajectory to a circumlunar free-return trajectory. Apollo 13 was the only Apollo mission to actually turn around the Moon in a free-return trajectory (however, two hours after perilune, propulsion was applied to speed the return to Earth by 10 hours and move the landing spot from the Indian Ocean to the Pacific Ocean). Earth–Mars [ edit] A free-return transfer orbit to Mars is also possible. As with the Moon, this option is mostly considered for crewed missions. Robert Zubrin, in his book The Case for Mars, discusses various trajectories to Mars for his mission design Mars Direct. The Hohmann transfer orbit can be made free-return. It takes 250 days (0. 68 years) in the transit to Mars, and in the case of a free-return style abort without the use of propulsion at Mars, 1. 5 years to get back to Earth, at a total delta-v requirement of 3. 34 km/s. Zubrin advocates a slightly faster transfer, that takes only 180 days to Mars, but 2 years back to Earth in case of an abort. This route comes also at the cost of a higher delta-v of 5. 08 km/s. Zubrin writes that faster routes have a significantly higher delta-v cost and free-return duration (e. g. transfer to Mars in 130 days takes 7. 93 km/s delta-v and 4 years on the free return), and so he advocates for the 180-day transfer. A free return is also the part of various other mission designs, such as Mars Semi-Direct and Inspiration Mars. There also exists the option of two- or three-year free-returns that do not rely on the gravity of Mars, but are simply transfer orbits with periods of 2 or 1. 5 years, respectively. A two-year free return means from Earth to Mars (aborted there) and then back to Earth all in 2 years. The entry corridor (range of permissible path angles) for landing on Mars is limited, and experience has shown that the path angle is hard to fix (e. +/- 0. 5 deg). This limits entry into the atmosphere to less than 9 km/s. On this assumption, a two-year return is not possible for some years, and for some years a delta-v kick of 0. 6 to 2. 7 km/s at Mars may be needed to get back to Earth. NASA published the Design Reference Architecture 5. 0 for Mars in 2009, advocating a 174-day transfer to Mars, which is close to Zubrin's proposed trajectory. It cites a delta-v requirement of approximately 4 km/s for the trans-Mars injection, but does not mention the duration of a free return to Earth.

“Turboprop Flight Simulator” is a new 3D airplane simulator game, featuring planes derived from the Airbus A400M Atlas tactical airlifter, the ATR 42 / ATR 72 regional airliners, and a concept VTOL aircraft XV-40.
* Pilot three versions of the military aircraft: tactical cargo, coastguard, and spec-ops.
* Pilot the two regional airliners, plus an airborne early warning military variant.
* Pilot the Tilt-Wing VTOL aircraft (both in airplane mode, and in vertical, helicopter-like mode).
* Learn to fly with training missions (teaching the basics of flying, taxiing, takeoff and landing).
* Complete many varied missions.
* Explore the plane’s interior in first-person (in most levels and freeflight).
* Interact with various items (doors, cargo ramp, strobes, main lights).
* Drive ground vehicles.
* Load, unload, and airdrop supplies and vehicles with the cargo planes.
* Takeoff and land on improvised runways (and airports, of course).
* Explore without restrictions in free-flight mode, or create flight routes on the map.
* Fly in varied time-of-day settings.
* NEW & FREE airplane simulator game updated in 2021!
* NO MANDATORY ADS! Only optional, rewarded ones in-between flights.
* Great 3D graphics (with detailed cockpits for all the aeroplanes).
* Realistic physics for flight simulation.
* Complete pilot controls (including rudder, flaps, spoilers, thrust reversers, auto-brakes, and landing gear).
* Multiple control options (including mixed tilt sensor & stick / yoke).
* Multiple cameras (including cockpit cameras with captain and copilot positions).
* Close to realistic engines’ sounds (turbines and propellers noises recorded from real airplanes).
* Partial and total aircraft destruction (clipping wing tips, full wings separation, tail separation, and main fuselage breakage).
* Several islands with many airports.
* Selection of measurement units for air speed, flying altitude, and distance (metric, aviation standard, and imperial).
This is (mostly) a patch version:
* Fixed several bugs (see in-game FAQ).
* Now the last used free-flight configuration gets saved.
* Added a new secret to be found with the signal detector.
* Added the long-term plans topic in the FAQ.
NOTE: The release of version 1.27 has been delayed for June due to some difficulties.

Both Venus and Mars have their problems, but what make the real difference is our lack of experience in missions that are not surface-based, since on Venus we should colonize the upper atmosphere layers. Ideas such as colonizing another planet is not unheard of and if humans do not consider the possible impacts in a new environment, this can be detrimental.

https://travelbinger.com/should-airlines-announce-how-many-flight-crew-test-positive-for-covid-19/ | 2023-10-04T22:27:33 | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233511424.48/warc/CC-MAIN-20231004220037-20231005010037-00459.warc.gz | 0.940075 | 615 | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | webtext-fineweb__CC-MAIN-2023-40__0__173187941 | en | Airlines have been suffering due to Covid-19, and the majority of U.S. airlines do not announce whether flight crew test positive for Covid-19. Should they?
While all major airlines continue to fly planes during the pandemic, passenger count down is significantly down, and airlines are addressing Covid-19 in different ways. For instance, Delta is blocking middle seats and requiring masks, and Allegiant is handing out safety kits.
But is that enough?
Because most people are worried about getting in contact with the virus, airlines should go the next step and announce whether flight crew test positive for Covid-19 for the safety of passengers.
Last week, Delta announced 500 Delta staff tested positive for Covid-19, and 10 staff died, according to Newsweek. However, nowhere in the report does it mention whether any of the staff were flight crew, whether the pilot or flight attendant.
In April, LA Times ran a story with an anonymous flight attendant on a major airline where 100 flight attendants tested positive. While the airline was not named, due to the routes listed, it appears to be American Airlines, which runs on the route schedule to the destinations listed by the flight attendant.
Now more than ever, while airlines continue to increase service and passenger capacity, they should announce whether flight attendants on certain routes have tested positive for Covid-19. While it’s not crystal clear the protocol in place for each airline, flight attendants who test positive for Covid should not be working, even if they are wearing masks and practicing social distancing.
Currently, there is no national protocol or mandate for all airlines to require flight attendants to get covid-19 testing. During a time that Covid-19 surges are spiking in more states in America, each and every airline should mandate their flight crew to get tested. Fortunately, as of June 2020, Delta is the first and only airline enforcing all staff to get tested.
No airline is required to announce how many flight crew test positive for Covid-19. For the safety of passengers, especially with airlines flying more routes than last month, this should be a requirement. Also, there is no requirement for passengers to announce whether they have tested positive or not in order to fly.
Airlines are expected to lose up to $113 billion this year due to Covid-19 (though they will receive a $25 billion bailout with the government).
Should airlines announce whether flight crew tested positive for Covid-19? Let us know your comments below.
Should you book a cheap plane ticket now to travel later?
Airlines are still flying planes with no passengers during the coronavirus pandemic. Here’s why.

The aforementioned man-made satellites fly high in the sky, in order for them to see large areas of Earth. Furthermore, they also have a clear view of space because they fly above Earth's clouds and air. You will feel the same way whenever you lay eyes upon your wall decoration of satellites wall murals. The man-made satellites take pictures of our planet, other planets, the sun and other celestial objects. Satellites wall murals are vital in explaining that these things are needed in order for scientists to learn more about Earth, the moon, the sun, our solar system and ultimately, our universe. Did you know that before satellites TV signals did not go very far and could easily be blocked by tall buildings or mountains? The same goes for telephones, but luckily with satellites TV signals and phone calls can be relayed to a satellite which then sends it back to different locations on Earth. This is great knowledge which you can share with family, friends and colleagues who will be asking about your satellites wall murals.
Someone to look up to
You cannot talk about satellites without mentioning astronauts. These heroes live in a place where cutting-edge scientific research is done in an environment that cannot be matched on Earth. This is important to remember when using satellites wall murals because you are getting a view from high above the Earth. Satellites wall murals thus offer a unique view and helps people understand that astronauts study the Earth's weather, landforms, vegetation, oceans and so much more. Since these so-called space stations are above the Earth's atmosphere, they can be used as manned observatories where space telescopes can look out upon the heavens and the said atmosphere does not interfere in the views of space station telescopes. Science and progress are a big part of the appeal of having satellites wall murals in your interior decoration, especially for the young ones.
A muse in satellites wall murals
Arguably the most romantic of natural satellites is our lady of the night, the Moon. A lot of paintings and poetry from the classic time of art depict the moon as a goddess. She is quieter and more approachable than the fiery sun, full of mystery and grace. Part of her charm lies in the changing shadows that sometimes hide her countenance from sight, which you will see a in satellites wall murals featuring the Moon. There are some satellites wall murals that show its special place in the astrologer's map of the night sky and others that reflect the moon's mysterious influence on the tides of the sea. The moon does not care what we think, however. She is never one to stay the same for long, and that is why satellites wall murals are such a source of joy in a modern house or a trendy office. You can gaze upon something like "New Perspective" or "Lunar Colors" and feel a beautiful calm emanating from these satellites wall murals. | aerospace |

For smaller schools, maintaining the certificate for ICAO English exam and radio-phraseology exam providers is not cost-effective.
Regulation No 1178/2011 („Part FCL“) requires all pilots to undergo the radio-phraseology exam before their first solo flight at the latest. Aviation regulations also require a separate aviation language exam - the IFR English exam of pilots performing IFR flights.
Aero Language has all the required certificates. On the basis of training provided by our school, flight instructor at your flight school is able to perform exams immediately after the training right at your school and in real-time.
It is thus possible that pilots undertaking flight training at your flight school can undergo the ICAO English exam or the radio-phraseology exam before the flight training itself.
The ICAO English exam or the radio-phraseology exam can be provided ad-hoc directly at your flight school.
With no worries, with no need to plan in advance. Anytime your students need them, you are ready.
Further details of B2B cooperation are tailored to the needs of the flight school and agreed on individually. | aerospace |

Ever since the Space Race, between the Soviet Union and the United States of America in the Cold War, there have been fears in the international community, that the prospect of being able to fly into space could extend the arms race and conflicts fought on earth into space. Therefore the international community, even before the moon landing started regulating activities in space, through international treaties such as the Outer Space Treaty (1967), which was later extended to make sure that space will be a zone of peaceful international cooperation.
One of these treaties, is the Moon Treaty, established by the UN General Assembly in 1979, which prohibited the militarisation of the moon and other celestial bodies. Although the treaty has been widely welcomed, it is seen as a failed treaty, as only 18 member states have ratified it, none on these are the major member states that participated in manned missions to space.
In the 21st century the rapid advancement of technology, the possibility of commercial space flights by 2030 and the rise of extremism and nationalism in parts of the world demilitarising space and this long forgotten treaty come back to the limelight of UNOOSA’s attention.
Topic B: Making outer space activities more sustainable
The Cold War, although intense and domination driven, was a crucial pillar in space exploration and the centuries-old human desire to reach space. Due to the arms race and the rivalry of the U.S. and the USSR, many new technologies had to be created, people had to think outside of the box and “conquer” new places that would give them an advantage over the other which led to the the first mission into space, Sputnik 1 on the 4th of October 1957. A lot of time has passed ever since humans first entered the orbit with their machines and satellites. How is the contemporary orbit different from the one decades ago? The answer is simple, trash… and a lot of it.
Our planets orbit is littered with more than 500,000 pieces of debris, or “space junk,” that are currently tracked . These pieces of old satellites, rockets and others travel at speeds up to ~28,000 km/h, fast enough for a relatively small piece of orbital debris to damage a satellite or a spacecraft. The problem is so severe that there are multiple reports of satellites, being damaged, which is a significant security risk in space. The more debris that gets trapped in space the more fragile satellites become which can ultimately lead to falling of satellites and/or their parts back on Earth and cause serious damage. Although making the earth’s orbit sustainable and debris free should be high on every member states agenda, there has been, no serious initiative that was successful in addressing the problem, as of yet.

The Royal International Air Tattoo (RIAT), one of the UK's premier outdoor events, returns this summer with an extravaganza of entertainment for all the family. Alongside the thrilling flying action, visitors will be treated to non-stop entertainment on the ground - so whether a wide-eyed first timer or a seasoned airshow veteran, the experience is breath-taking.
For 2015 we have agreed to support the Air Tattoo - and what better could way could we have to do that, then to supply them Fire Cover!!
From July 17-19 2015, we will be donating our equipment and labour to assist the myriad of other emergency services at this absolutely brilliant event, which is staged in support of the RAF Charitable Trust.
Attracting up to 130,000 visitors and the support of the Royal Air Force together with numerous international air arms and many of the world's leading aerospace companies; the Air Tattoo is acknowledged as not only the world's largest military air show but also one of the UK's premier outdoor events for the whole family!
Choosing RIAT was simple for us. We already have the honour and pleasure of working with the RAF on a regular basis - so it's a great pleasure to give something back. We also have many personal connections with the show dating back to visiting it during its’ RAF Greenham Common days and, above all, the involvement of a very dear friend – Roland Furber - a guy we respected immensely and a man that worked hard to ensure the show was success. | aerospace |

An hour-long training exercise for procedures that would be followed if an aircraft were to enter the no-fly zone that will be in effect around the Superdome during the Super Bowl is scheduled to begin at 7am.
U.S. Navy Captain James Hineline, spokesman for the air defense exercise, says its purpose is to test the readiness of all the agencies involved in enforcing the no-fly zone.
"Just to make sure we got everything down and there won't be any surprises when the Super Bowl actually happens," Hineline said.
Several aircraft will be involved in the training exercise, so residents may see and hear more planes in the air during that time.
Hineline says if an aircraft enters the no-fly zone during the Super Bowl, "the very first thing we're gonna do is try to get a hold of them, contact them, first via radio; and if we don't have a lot of luck with radio then there's multiple aircraft that can be used to try to get ahold of them."
Hineline says the goal is to contact the stray plane's occupants, find out why they're in the no-fly zone and escort them out. | aerospace |

About This Content
In August 1946, Convair was awarded the contract to build the XP5Y-1 maritime patrol aircraft as a replacement for the troublesome PB4Y Coronado and outdated Martin Mars. Convair had ample seaplane experience with the Catalina and Coronado, as well as access to the development data from the German BV-222 'Wiking'.
Originally developed to fulfil the long-range maritime reconnaissance role, the Convair XP5Y-1 was celebrated for its high-speed blended-hull design, intended to overcome the aerodynamic drag associated with flying boat hulls. Powered by four 5250 hp Allison XT-40-A-4 turboprops, it flew for the first time on April 18, 1950.
At the end of WWII, the Tradewind's patrol/ASW mission was scrapped, however with the onset of the Korean War came new transport and 'mobile base' roles for the R3Y. Thus, 11 re-designated R3Y Tradewinds were built. Several modifications were incorporated into the new R3Y-1 including increased horsepower T-40-A-10 engines, new nacelles, shorter airscrew driveshafts and tailpipes, and V-shaped float struts. Convair later re-designed the nose and added a large hinged door at the bow. This new version was designated R3Y-2 and flew on October 22, 1954. A last attempt at salvaging the project resulted in a refuelling tanker conversion, but this was not enough to save the Tradewind. All were scrapped in 1959.
- Both R3Y-1 'Cruiser' and R3Y-2 'Bowloader' variants included.
- Virtual cockpit with gauges and controls.
- Stunning bump-mapped 2048-pixel texture sets.
- Very high quality native FSX models.
- Highly detailed and accurate beaching cradle included.
- Animated opening doors, crew and Bowloader nose with extendable ramps.
- RY3-2 'Bowloader' refuelling version included, with animated hoses.
- Togglable realistic crew figures with accurate period flight gear.
- Virtual cockpit includes several interior spaces including main hold.
- Animated, featherable contra-rotating propeller blades.
- Illustrated user manual in PDF format.
- Turboprop soundset.

Singapore Airlines will be the world's first carrier to operate the state-of-the-art Boeing 787-10 and the airline is excited to be taking delivery of the first of its 49 Boeing 787-10 planes in March.
Subject to regulatory approvals, the national carrier will initially operate one of the four daily Singapore-Perth flights using its new Boeing 787-10 plane, though no word has been given on whether all of the Singapore-Perth and Singapore-Osaka flights will be flown using this particular aircraft type in the future.
Image source: Singapore Airlines
The highly advanced Boeing 787-10 aircraft to be debuted soon in Singapore Airlines' network will seat 337 passengers - 36 in Business Class and 301 in Economy Class. Those who would be flying on the new Boeing 787-10 jet will have access to the carrier's new regional cabin products, too.
For those who are wondering, the Boeing 787-10 is the newest and longest version of the super-efficient Boeing Dreamliner range of aircraft. Measuring 68 metres in length, the plane is built using technologically advanced lightweight composite materials.
Before the new aircraft officially goes into service sometime in May for flight schedules between Singapore and Osaka as well as Singapore and Perth, the airline will use its new Boeing 787-10 aircraft on select Kuala Lumpur and Bangkok flights in preparation for crew training.

Oct. 9 – In a 21st-century Asian version of the space race between the United States and Soviet Union, India will compete with China by launching her own first unmanned mission to the Moon. Scheduled for launch on October 22, weather permitting, the Chandrayaan-1, India's locally made rocket will be fired from southeastern India. The estimated Rs3.86 billion (US$80.8 million) project involves six foreign countries, including the United States.
It aims to map a three-dimensional atlas of the moon through high-resolution remote sensing and map the surface's chemical and mineral composition.
Despite limited funding, India operates an extensive space programme consisting of launch vehicles, satellites and data-processing centres.
India plans to send an astronaut into space by 2014 and a manned mission to moon by 2020 Reuters reported. As part of preparations for that, it launched four satellites on a single rocket for the first time in January 2007, including one that was brought back to earth.
At least 16 Indian satellites currently orbit the earth, supporting telecommunications, TV broadcasting, earth observation, weather forecasting, remote education and healthcare.
India's constellation of seven earth-observation satellites is the largest of its kind in the world, but its space programme lags behind its Asian rival China, which in 2003 became only the third nation after the United States and the former Soviet Union to launch a man into space aboard its own rocket.

Women Who Drone is on a mission to close the gender gap in the UAV industry by educating women & girls about drone technology and empowering them to become licensed, commercial drone pilots.
We do this by providing drone flying workshops, one on one lessons, online courses, news & reviews, career opportunities and a supportive group of women around the world.
Technology and Artificial Intelligence will transform the world globally and drones are already playing a major part of this technological revolution.
Drone technology is already changing the world in the consumer and commercial sectors. Drones deliver medical supplies to people in need, monitor crops in agriculture, survey land, and save lives through search and rescue capabilities. The use of drones will only increase and they will utterly transform society in a positive way.
However, once again, women are at risk of being excluded from another important tech job that pays well, creates stability and choices!
As the drone industry continues to grow, the demand for licensed drone pilots will rise.
Right now, women make up LESS THAN 5% of certified licensed drone pilots in the U.S. and represent only 3% globally.
Once we learned these dismal statistics, we said, "Not On Our Watch" and created Women Who Drone to inspire, educate and empower more women to learn to fly drones, obtain licenses, and join the drone industry.
HOW WE'RE CHANGING THIS...
Women Who Drone is on a mission to ensure that more women are trained and licensed to join the growing drone industry. In the last 12 months:
- We have managed to become the largest online female drone pilot community and have built a community of thousands of followers worldwide.
- We currently have 44 Brand Ambassadors from 23 different countries and 35 different cities who inspire and encourage more women to join this growing industry.
- We were recently featured in Fast Company for taking female drone operation to new heights.
- We have partnered with the largest visual content distributor in the world, Getty Images to offer female drone pilots the opportunity to monetize their aerial content through our Women Who Drone Collection.
- We have been featured in several publications highlighting our mission and education including, DroneLife, Fierce Mitu, DJI, Aerobo, 818 Agency, and UAV Coach.
- We have had women from around the world reach out to us to connect with other female drone pilots and we have had hundreds of women thank us for inspiring them to buy their first drone!
WHY WE'RE RAISING MONEY
We are proud of the work we've done so far, but there is so much more to do! We want to really scale our efforts to educate more women and girls and empower their lives through flying drones.
As a start-up with no funding, the request from women to expand our workshops and provide one-on-one lessons in their cities has been exciting, yet financially overwhelming at the same time. This is why we need your help!
We have been endlessly inspired by the work our WWD Ambassadors are doing with their drones.
Here are a few examples of some of the many projects our women have been working on:
We want to continue to support and and encourage women to use their drones for good and creativity. In order to do this, Women Who Drone requires funding to expand our drone education and tell more stories about women who are flying and impacting their communities worldwide.
WHERE THE MONEY IS GOING
With your help, we will develop our educational programs and obtain the proper insurance to protect our instructors and students during their drone training. Additionally, we are raising funds to create and produce online courses for women to expand their drone skill sets in the commercial space, such as 3D mapping, inspections, construction and agriculture. By contributing, you'll also help us grow the Women Who Drone team and provide more services to our community. This includes:

He’s so obsessed that his company plans to launch dozens of satellites into space. According to him, ICEYE satellites should be much better than existing SAR satellites — call it the Tesla or satellites if you want. That’s why I’m excited to announce that Modrzewski is coming to TechCrunch Disrupt Berlin to speak.
SAR stands for synthetic-aperture radar. There are already many SAR satellites around the earth, observing the surface of the planet. But they weigh hundreds of kilograms and cost a small fortune to put into space.
While consumer electronics have greatly benefited from miniaturization, the same can’t be said about space. But ICEYE thinks it’s time to make satellites smaller.
The company’s SAR satellites only weigh around 70 to 80 kilograms. It’s a cost-effective solution, which means it’s much cheaper to build a complete constellation. The company is aiming for 18 fully operational satellites around the planet.
In many ways, ICEYE is a tech achievement. And the fact that the company operates like a startup makes the venture even more interesting.
If you want to hear Modrzewski tell you more about what they’ve been working on, you should come to Disrupt Berlin. The conference will take place on November 29-30 and you can buy your ticket right now.
In addition to fireside chats and panels, like this one, new startups will participate in the Startup Battlefield Europe to win the highly coveted Battlefield cup.
Co-founder & CEO, ICEYE
Rafal Modrzewski is the Chief Executive Officer and co-founder of ICEYE. ICEYE aims to launch and operate a constellation of micro-SAR satellites providing access to timely and reliable Earth observation data. ICEYE is the first company that has successfully miniaturized a SAR satellite, creating a unit that is 100x more cost-effective than traditional counterparts. With its 18 satellite constellation, ICEYE offers its partners a set of unprecedented satellite imaging capabilities, accessing any area of interest faster, more frequently and at lower cost.
Since co-founding the project in 2012, which became the company in 2014, with Pekka Laurila, Modrzewski is responsible for overseeing the organization’s growth and implementing ICEYE’s overall vision. Modrzewski brings with him deep domain expertise in SAR engineering, and he has received the 2018 Forbes 30 under 30 Technology award based on the world-first achievements of ICEYE.
Prior to co-founding ICEYE, Modrzewski researched innovative products at VTT (Technical Research Centre of Finland) in the RFID and wireless sensing group. He attended Warsaw University of Technology in Poland, where he studied Electrical Engineering and co-founded the Multimedia Technologies Science Group. Modrzewski continued his studies in Radio Science and Engineering at Aalto University where he led the on-board data handling team working on Aalto-1, Finland’s flagship satellite project. | aerospace |

An orbit is the curved path that an object in space (such as a star, planet, moon, asteroid or spacecraft) takes around another object due to gravity. Gravity causes objects in space that have mass to be attracted to other nearby objects. If this attraction brings them together with enough momentum, they can sometimes begin to orbit each other.
When rockets launch our satellites, they put them into orbit in space. There, gravity keeps the satellite on its required orbit – in the same way that gravity keeps the Moon in orbit around Earth.
This happens in a way that is similar to throwing a ball out of the window of a tall tower – to get the ball going, you need to first give it a ‘push’ by throwing it, making the ball fall towards the ground on a curved path. Whilst it is your throw that gives the ball its initial speed, it is gravity alone that keeps the ball moving towards the ground once you let go.
Types of orbits:
Upon launch, a satellite or spacecraft is most often placed in one of several particular orbits around Earth – or it might be sent on an interplanetary journey, meaning that it does not orbit Earth anymore, but instead orbits the Sun until its arrival at its final destination, like Mars or Jupiter.
- Geostationary orbit (GEO)
- Low Earth orbit (LEO)
- Medium Earth orbit (MEO)
- Polar orbit and Sun-synchronous orbit (SSO)
- Transfer orbits and geostationary transfer orbit (GTO)
Geostationary orbit (GEO)
- Satellites in geostationary orbit (GEO) circle Earth above the equator from west to east following Earth’s rotation – taking 23 hours 56 minutes and 4 seconds – by travelling at exactly the same rate as Earth.
- This makes satellites in GEO appear to be ‘stationary’ over a fixed position. In order to perfectly match Earth’s rotation, the speed of GEO satellites should be about 3 km per second at an altitude of 35 786 km.
- This is much farther from Earth’s surface compared to many satellites.
- GEO is used by satellites that need to stay constantly above one particular place over Earth, such as telecommunication satellites.
- This way, an antenna on Earth can be fixed to always stay pointed towards that satellite without moving.
- It can also be used by weather monitoring satellites, because they can continually observe specific areas to see how weather trends emerge there.
- Satellites in GEO cover a large range of Earth so as few as three equally-spaced satellites can provide near global coverage.
- This is because when a satellite is this far from Earth, it can cover large sections at once.
- This is akin to being able to see more of a map from a meter away compared with if you were a centimeter from it. So, to see all of Earth at once from GEO far fewer satellites are needed than at a lower altitude.
Low Earth orbit (LEO)
- A low Earth orbit (LEO) is, as the name suggests, an orbit that is relatively close to Earth’s surface.
- It is normally at an altitude of less than 1000 km but could be as low as 160 km above Earth – which is low compared to other orbits, but still very far above Earth’s surface.
- By comparison, most commercial aero planes do not fly at altitudes much greater than approximately 14 km, so even the lowest LEO is more than ten times higher than that.
- Unlike satellites in GEO that must always orbit along Earth’s equator, LEO satellites do not always have to follow a particular path around Earth in the same way – their plane can be tilted.
- This means there are more available routes for satellites in LEO, which is one of the reasons why LEO is a very commonly used orbit.
- LEO’s close proximity to Earth makes it useful for several reasons.
- It is the orbit most commonly used for satellite imaging, as being near the surface allows it to take images of higher resolution.
- It is also the orbit used for the International Space Station (ISS), as it is easier for astronauts to travel to and from it at a shorter distance. Satellites in this orbit travel at a speed of around 7.8 km per second; at this speed, a satellite takes approximately 90 minutes to circle Earth, meaning the ISS travels around Earth about 16 times a day.
- However, individual LEO satellites are less useful for tasks such as telecommunication, because they move so fast across the sky and therefore require a lot of effort to track from ground stations.
- Instead, communications satellites in LEO often work as part of a large combination or constellation, of multiple satellites to give constant coverage. In order to increase coverage, sometimes constellations like this, consisting of several of the same or similar satellites, are launched together to create a ‘net’ around Earth.
- This lets them cover large areas of Earth simultaneously by working together.
Medium Earth orbit (MEO)
Medium Earth orbit comprises a wide range of orbits anywhere between LEO and GEO. It is similar to LEO in that it also does not need to take specific paths around Earth, and it is used by a variety of satellites with many different applications.
- The more correct term would be near polar orbits.
- These orbits have an inclination near 90 degrees. This allows the satellite to see virtually every part of the Earth as the Earth rotates underneath it.
- It takes approximately 90 minutes for the satellite to complete one orbit.
- These satellites have many uses such as measuring ozone concentrations in the stratosphere or measuring temperatures in the atmosphere.
- Also known as geostationary orbits, satellites in these orbits circle the Earth at the same rate as the Earth spins.
- The Earth actually takes 23 hours, 56 minutes, and 4.09 seconds to make one full revolution. So based on Kepler's Laws of Planetary Motion, this would put the satellite at approximately 35,790 km above the Earth.
- The satellites are located near the equator since at this latitude, there is a constant force of gravity from all directions. At other latitudes, the bulge at the center of the Earth would pull on the satellite.
- Geosynchronous orbits allow the satellite to observe almost a full hemisphere of the Earth. These satellites are used to study large scale phenomenon such as hurricanes, or cyclones. These orbits are also used for communication satellites.
- The disadvantage of this type of orbit is that since these satellites are very far away, they have poor resolution.
- The other disadvantage is that these satellites have trouble monitoring activities near the poles. | aerospace |

Here is a roundup of some of the most notable business jets taking to the skies this year.
The Gulfstream G600 is designed with range in mind. With eight passengers, the G600 is capable of 6,500 nautical miles plus reserves at an impressive Mach 0.85.
Flexibility is a key attribute of any business jet so Gulfstream designed the G600 to allow passengers to prioritise speed and capacity. The G600 can fly at a sizzling Mach 0.925 thanks to the Pratt & Whitney engines rated for 10,000 hours between overhauls. The difference between Mach 0.85 and Mach 0.925 may seem inconsequential but according to Gulfstream, a passenger may save 50 hours per year, depending upon one’s usage pattern. For shorter missions, the G600
is capable of comfortably carrying up to 16 passengers, double the quantity when configured for long-distance travel.
Whether one is traveling short or long distances, Gulfstream has designed in flexibility to configure the cabin based on a passenger’s preferences. Up to four zones are possible, including a forward galley and an aft shower. During waking hours, the 27-inch wide seats can be configured for conversation or in a conference format. During rest hours the seats and the divans can convert into beds.
Gulfstream recognises that owners desire custom interiors, even if the general layouts are typical. To that end, in-house interior designers can help owners choose from a variety of touches such as hand- woven rugs, bamboo flooring, and fiber- optic lighting.
The Gulfstream CMS is standard so passengers can use their personal devices to manage their environment ranging from lighting to temperature to entertainment.
A maximum cruising altitude of 51,000 feet helps keep the G600 flying well above typical commercial aircraft and weather. Even at this altitude, the ambient cabin altitude is just 4,850 feet thereby helping passengers arrive at their destination feeling more refreshed.
Up front, pilots command the G600 with leading-edge technologies such as Gulfstream’s Enhanced Vision System or EVS. A head-up display allows pilots to focus outside of the aircraft during critical phases of flight such as takeoff and landing. Fly-by-wire technology helps reduce pilot workload and fatigue. | aerospace |

Airbus, the world’s second-largest aircraft maker, recently filed a patent application for a seat design that resembles bicycle seats. The objective of the design would be to make room for putting even more people on a plane. Interestingly enough, the following statement is included in the patent application: “In all cases, this increase in the number of seats is achieved to the detriment of the comfort of the passengers…” To their credit, Airbus was noted as also stating that the seats would be tolerable only if “the flight lasts only one or a few hours.”
So, will we be experiencing that cycling feeling at 35,000 feet anytime in the near future? Probably not, as a spokesperson for Airbus noted it’s unlikely that the seat design filed with the patent will ever make it to market.
Curious about the details? Take a look at the article in the Financial Post

This review is my personal opinion and may prove to be helpful to others debating to fly with Air New Zealand.
Image Via The Design Air
The airline’s plane features for economy class are exceptional. The first thing I noticed when I boarded the plane was the amount of leg room you are allocated; when flying with other airlines, I have found myself partially squished with minimum amount of room for movement available, but with Air New Zealand, the leg room is 10/10.
I personally did not use much of Air New Zealand’s in-flight entertainment when flying with the airline because I was ill and half asleep most the time. Although, the airline does offer domestic flight passengers a magazine and they screen an in-flight quiz which is actually pretty fun to participate in. With International Flights, passengers are offered movies, television series, music, games, a flight map and more.
As soon as the plane was at flying altitude we were offered snacks by the air hostess’. The flight was only 3.5 hours so meals were not given, although we did receive biscuits, water, juice or little packets of chips. Typical airline food- strangely satisfying-, but better than the airline I flew with two weeks beforehand. When flying internationally, you are offered a variation of dinner and breakfast meals as well as having the option to purchase alcohol.
Air New Zealand’s staff was very welcoming and helpful in my experience. From the minute you check in for your flight, to boarding the plane, to actually flying to your destination and hopping off the plane the staff were informative and generally nice.
I flew with Air New Zealand when going from Christchurch to Queenstown domestically and from Auckland to Brisbane internationally and both flights were smooth and as comfortable as possible when flying economy class. The cabin temperature was perfect- not too warm or too cool- and we experienced no turbulence whatsoever.

HOUSTON, Texas – The United States Air Force (USAF) and its industry partner, M1 Support Services, donated a business jet training aid to MIAT to further the education of next generation Airframe and Powerplant (A&P) mechanics (https://miat.edu/programs/aviation/airframe-powerplant-technician/). The TFE-731 Turbofan Engine is found on business jets such as a Learjet 35/36, Dassault Falcon 900 A/B, and Hawker 900 aircraft. The college currently has 323 students enrolled in this two-year program who receive Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) certification after completing the curriculum requirements.
“Without airworthy aircraft, the Air Force mission or any other aviation mission, would not be possible,” commented Michael Charles Lauer, C-21 program manager Commercial Derivative Aircraft Division, United States Air Force. “We hope this engine will facilitate learning by providing an opportunity for hands on experience and familiarization with the same technology and equipment that is in service today on both civil and military platforms.”
James Dyba, an adjunct professor for MIAT’s A&P program and quality assurance inspector for the Houston-based StandardAero (www.standardaero.com) operations, helped to facilitate the donation. The engine was sent to Standard Aero for a Core Zone (CZI) inspection and was deemed Beyond Economic Repair (BER) by both the USAF and M1 Support Services. Dyba knew the significance this engine would have for the college’s A&P certification program and proceeded to undertake the work to have the engine donated to MIAT.
“The turbofan engine is the most updated engine the college has and will be a very nice training tool for our students. The TFE-731 series engines, in different variants, are used on most corporate jets. Students will learn how to remove and reassemble components, borescope the engine, and conduct engine inspections. We are extremely grateful to everyone who assisted in the donation.” John Willis, MIAT’s Houston campus president explained.

Three highflying, two-seat wonders that may be coming soon to a sky near you
THE ECO-FRIENDLY CHOPPER:Volocopter VC200
With 18 propellers, the drone-like VC200 will be able to take off and land vertically like a helicopter, yet is designed to be easier to fly, according to e-volo, the German company behind the battery-powered aircraft. The VC200 is steered by joystick and doesn’t require foot pedals, as a helicopter does; it will also stay aloft should some of its propellers fail. The current prototype can fly for 20 minutes—a stat that is expected to get more impressive as battery technology improves. A manned test-flight is scheduled for later this year. Production is slated for 2017.
THE ELECTRIC PLANE: E-Fan 2.0
The France-based Airbus Group is spearheading a family of electric-powered aircraft, dubbed the E-Fan program, that will consume no fuel, emit no CO2 or NOx emissions and will be substantially quieter than gas-powered airplanes. The E-Fan 2.0 will be a two-seater version, and although it won’t be available until late 2017, the underlying technology is real. This summer, the E-Fan 1.0, powered by lithium-ion batteries, became the first twin-engine electric plane to cross the English Channel.
AND ANOTHER FLYING CAR: AeroMobil 3.0
The Slovakian company AeroMobil is developing a flying car that is functionally similar to Terrafugia’s Transition—but visually, it’s a svelte dragonfly to Terrafugia’s bumblebee. AeroMobil’s makers say the car will be able to take off and land on short, moderately rough fields. However, it is not as far along as the Transition in gaining government certification in Europe. The company said it plans to start deliveries in two to three years. | aerospace |
