No single space project in this period will be more impressive to mankind, or more important for the long-range exploration of space; and none will be so difficult or expensive to accomplish.
We choose to go to the moon. We choose to go to the moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard, because that goal will serve to organize and measure the best of our energies and skills, because that challenge is one that we are willing to accept, one we are unwilling to postpone, and one which we intend to win, and the others, too.

DALLAS – The largest-sized American flag aboard the most important flight in the history of the US Space Program, owned and signed by the mission’s command module pilot Michael Collins, soared to $162,500 to lead Heritage Auctions’ Space Exploration Signature® Auction to $2,591,768 June 2-3.
The result for the Apollo 11-flown American flag, certified by Collins and directly from his personal collection with accompanying signed certificate, with CAG certification reached a new stratosphere, touching down at more than four times its estimate to lead the nearly sold-out event, which drew 1,755 bidders in pursuit of more than 1,000 lots and generated sell-through rates of better than 99 percent by value and by lots sold.
The flag led the collection of Collins, who famously flew aboard Apollo 11, the first manned mission to reach the moon, with Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin. Collins kept the flag as a treasured souvenir of the historic mission. At 17¾ inches by 11½ inches, the incredibly rare silk flag is the largest size typically flown by Apollo missions. Written in black ink on the Collectibles Authentication Guaranty-certified flag: “Carried to the Moon on Apollo XI, July 1969- /Michael Collins CMP.” Bidding on the flag persisted for more than seven minutes with multiple bidders.
“Michael Collins is among the most important astronauts in the history of space travel, and the results of this auction surpassed our loftiest expectations,” Heritage Auctions Space Exploration consignment director Brad Palmer said. “We knew the interest in the flag would be sky-high because mission-flown flags of that size (17¾ by 11½ inches) are in exceedingly high demand among serious space collectors. This is a fantastic flag, owned and signed by Michael Collins, and it ended up serving as an outstanding launching point for the entire auction.”
From the same historic mission came an Apollo 11-flown and crew-signed Beta cloth from the Collins collection, CAG-certified, that more than tripled its estimate when it reached $137,500. In the center of the cloth is a circular insignia (diameter: 3-3/8 inches) that was designed by Collins and shows an eagle carrying an olive branch to the moon with Earth in the distance over the eagle’s right shoulder. After the mission, Collins wrote: “Carried to the moon aboard Apollo XI/ July 1969″ and signed it, as did Armstrong and Aldrin. Made with fire-safe Fiberglass Beta yarns, Beta cloth was used in the space suits worn by the Apollo astronauts.
Three lots brought six-figure results; the third was an Apollo 11-flown and used star chart with handwritten annotations, signed and CAG-certified, which ended at $125,000 – more than three times its estimate. The chart is a vital piece of documentation from the Apollo 11 mission, depicting dozens of stars and constellations and features numerous handwritten annotations by Collins, with the following written on the left border: “During the flight of/ Apollo Eleven,/ I used this chart/ to help me locate stars. The/ numbers were/ entered into/ the Command/ Module Computer/ Michael/ Collins/ CMP.”
The auction included 19 flags, including an Apollo 11-flown American flag signed and certified by Collins, from his personal collection with accompanying signed certificate, CAG-certified, that reached $81,250 and a framed Apollo 11-flown American flag on a crew-signed presentation certificate that sold for $75,000.
Mission-flown Robbins medallions always hold significant appeal to collectors, and this sale was no exception. All told, the event included 23 assorted Robbins medallions, including an Apollo 11-flown MS67 NGC sterling silver Robbins medallion (serial number 300) that went for $52,500 and an Apollo 11-flown MS66 NGC sterling silver Robbins medallion (serial number 357) that closed at $36,250.
An Apollo 11-flown “Flight Plan,” with annotations handwritten by Collins nearly quintupled its estimate when it drew a winning bid of $47,500. Measuring 6½ by 8 inches, the page is numbered “89B” and comes from the Command Module Pilot Solo Book that was flown and used aboard Columbia. The heavily annotated page addresses LM Insertion and covers the time between 124:30 and 125:00. It has been signed in black ink along bottom: “Michael Collins/ CMP” and “A flown page from the Apollo XI/ Flight Plan/ Michael Collins CMP” on the verso, making it an extremely important relic from this historic flight. The lot included a handwritten letter of authenticity from Collins stating he kept this page due to the stretch of time it covered when he was supposed to be “the loneliest human ever.”
A dozen bids came in for an Apollo 11-flown Pilot’s Preference Kit (PPK), signed and certified by Collins before it found a new home at $40,000. The kit includes a Beta cloth bag with a sewn-on tag that reads “Kit Pilot’s Preference/P/N SEB 12100018-202/ S/N 1071.” Collins signed and annotated that same tag, as well as the notes. Written directly below the tag is: “Flown to the Moon/ Aboard Apollo XI.” Accompanying the kit is a handwritten note on Collins’ letterhead, vouching for the authenticity of the kit. Flown PPK’s are scarce and among the most highly coveted of flown space artifacts.
Prices quoted include the buyer’s premium as reported by the auction house. For information, www.ha.com or 214-528-3500.

May 26th is Sally Ride Day, Sally Ride Day honors the first American woman astronaut to go into space. Dr. Ride joined NASA in 1978 and became the first American woman in space in 1983. Ride was the third woman in space overall, after USSR cosmonauts Valentina Tereshkova and Svetlana Savitskaya. In honor of her accomplishment and in recognition of all of the amazing women scientists who have contributed their part to NASA, we have compiled the NASA’s 15 Most Influential Women.

Katherine Johnson In 1962, as NASA prepared for the orbital mission of John Glenn, Johnson was called upon to do the work that she would become most known for. The complexity of the orbital flight had required the construction of a worldwide communications network, linking tracking stations around the world to IBM computers in Washington, Cape Canaveral in Florida, and Bermuda. The computers had been programmed with the orbital equations that would control the trajectory of the capsule in Glenn’s Friendship 7 mission from liftoff to splashdown, but the astronauts were wary of putting their lives in the care of the electronic calculating machines, which were prone to hiccups and blackouts. As a part of the preflight checklist, Glenn asked engineers to “get the girl”—Johnson—to run the same numbers through the same equations that had been programmed into the computer, but by hand, on her desktop mechanical calculating machine. “If she says they’re good,’” Katherine Johnson remembers the astronaut saying, “then I’m ready to go.” Glenn’s flight was a success, and marked a turning point in the competition between the United States and the Soviet Union in space.
Dorothy Vaughan In an era when NASA is led by an African American man (Administrator Charles Bolden) and a woman (Deputy Administrator Dava Newman), and when recent NASA Center Directors come from a variety of backgrounds, it's easy to overlook the people who paved the way for the agency's current robust and diverse workforce and leadership. Those who speak of NASA's pioneers rarely mention the name Dorothy Vaughan, but as the head of the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics’ (NACA’s) segregated West Area Computing Unit from 1949 until 1958, Vaughan was both a respected mathematician and NASA's first African-American manager.
Mary Jackson began her engineering career in an era in which female engineers of any background were a rarity; in the 1950s, she very well may have been the only black female aeronautical engineer in the field. For nearly two decades she enjoyed a productive engineering career, authoring or co-authoring a dozen or so research reports, most focused on the behavior of the boundary layer of air around airplanes. As the years progressed, the promotions slowed, and she became frustrated at her inability to break into management-level grades. In 1979, seeing that the glass ceiling was the rule rather than the exception for the center’s female professionals, she made a final, dramatic career change, leaving engineering and taking a demotion to fill the open position of Langley’s Federal Women’s Program Manager. There, she worked hard to impact the hiring and promotion of the next generation of all of NASA’s female mathematicians, engineers, and scientists.
Kitty O'Brien Joyner was an American electrical engineer with the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA), and then with the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) upon its replacement of NACA in 1958. She was the first woman to graduate from the University of Virginia's engineering program in 1939, receiving the Algernon Sydney Sullivan Award upon graduation. When she was hired by NACA the same year, she became the first woman engineer at the organization, eventually rising to the title Branch Head and managing several of its wind tunnels. Her work contributed to research on aeronautics, supersonic flight, airfoils, and aircraft design standards.
Jeanette Scissum joined NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center in 1964 after earning bachelor's and master's degrees in mathematics from Alabama A&M University. Scissum published a NASA report in 1967, “Survey of Solar Cycle Prediction Models,” which put forward techniques for improved forecasting of the sunspot cycle. In the mid-1970s she worked as a space scientist in the Space Environment Branch of Marshall’s Space Sciences Laboratory and later led activities in Marshall’s Atmospheric, Magnetospheric, and Plasmas in Space project. In 1975, Scissum wrote an article for the National Technical Association, “Equal Employment Opportunity and the Supervisor – A Counselor’s View,” which argued that many discrimination complaints could be avoided “through adequate and meaningful communication.” Scissum later worked at NASA Headquarters as a computer systems analyst responsible for analyzing and directing NASA management information and technical support systems.
Kathryn Hire joined the NASA team in 1989 where she worked as a space shuttle orbiter mechanical systems engineer, test project engineer, and supervisor of space shuttle orbiter mechanical systems and launch pad access swing arms at Kennedy Space Center. Hire processed space shuttles from landing through ground preparations and launch countdowns for more than 40 missions. Hire flew to space on a second mission aboard Space Shuttle Endeavour for STS-130 in 2010 to help assemble the International Space Station. Hire and her crewmates delivered and outfitted Node 3, also known as the Tranquility module, and the Cupola, a seven-windowed portal for the space station which has been a focal point of the station since installation. As a mission specialist, Hire operated the robotic arms, led the transfer of 4,500 pounds of cargo and helped install water recycling, air cleaning and cooling, and crew exercise equipment in Node 3 and cupola. Between her space flights, Hire supported missions in various roles including Capsule Communicator (CAPCOM) in mission control, Astronaut Support Personnel where she strapped crew members into the space shuttle orbiter for launch, and management astronaut in which she helped develop procedures for commercial spacecraft carrying cargo to the International Space Station.
Kathryn Peddrew graduated from college with a degree in Chemistry in 1943. As an African American woman, she faced many challenges while pursuing a career in the sciences during this period. Hired right after graduation, Peddrew was assigned to the West Area Computers at Langley, and began a career at NACA/NASA that spanned forty-three years. Involved in both aeronautical and aerospace research, Peddrew recalled the excitement at Langley when the first astronauts trained there, and the many breakthroughs made during the early space program.
Melba Roy Mouton was Assistant Chief of Research Programs at NASA's Trajectory and Geodynamics Division in the 1960s and headed a group of NASA mathematicians called "computers". Starting as a mathematician, she was ahead mathematician for Echo Satellites 1 and 2, and she worked up to being a Head Computer Programmer and then Program Production Section Chief at Goddard Space Flight Center. Mouton was born in Fairfax, Virginia to Rhodie and Edna Chloe. She graduated from Howard University in 1950 with a master's degree in mathematics. She started working for NASA in 1959, after working for the Army Map Service and the Census Bureau. At NASA, she received an Apollo Achievement Award and an Exceptional Performance Award. She retired in 1973 and passed away in 1990 of a brain tumor. She was 61.
Annie Easley began her career in 1955 as a “human computer,” doing computations for researchers. This involved analyzing problems and doing calculations by hand. When hired, she was one of only four African-American employees at the Lab. When human computers were replaced by machines, Easley evolved along with the technology. She became an adept computer programmer, using languages like the Formula Translating System (Fortran) and the Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP) to support a number of NASA’s programs. She developed and implemented code used in researching energy-conversion systems, analyzing alternative power technology—including the battery technology that was used for early hybrid vehicles, as well as for the Centaur upper-stage rocket. Easley was very dedicated to her outreach efforts at NASA. She not only participated in in-school tutoring programs but was a very active participant in the speaker’s bureau—telling students about NASA’s work and inspiring especially female and minority students to consider STEM careers.
Nancy Grace Roman was a noted American astronomer who made important contributions to stellar classification and motions, and became the first female executive at NASA, and served as NASA’s first Chief of Astronomy throughout the 1960s and 1970s, establishing her as one of the "visionary founders of the US civilian space program".She created NASA’s space astronomy program and is known to many as the "Mother of Hubble" for her foundational role in planning the Hubble Space Telescope. Throughout her career, Roman was also an active public speaker and educator, and an advocate for women in the sciences.
Ellen Ochoa is an American engineer, former astronaut, and former director of the Johnson Space Center. In 1993 Ochoa became the first Hispanic woman to go to space when she served on a nine-day mission aboard the Space Shuttle Discovery. Ochoa became director of the center upon the retirement of the previous director, Michael Coats, on December 31, 2012. She was the first Hispanic director and the second female director of Johnson Space Center.
Margaret Hamilton is an American computer scientist, systems engineer, and business owner. She was director of the Software Engineering Division of the MIT Instrumentation Laboratory, which developed on-board flight software for NASA's Apollo program. Hamilton has published more than 130 papers, proceedings, and reports about sixty projects and six major programs. She is one of the people credited with coining the term "software engineering". On November 22, 2016, Hamilton received the Presidential Medal of Freedom from President Barack Obama for her work leading to the development of on-board flight software for NASA's Apollo Moon missions.
Kalpana Chawla was an American astronaut, engineer, and the first woman of Indian origin to go to space. She first flew on Space Shuttle Columbia in 1997 as a mission specialist and primary robotic arm operator. In 2003, Chawla was one of the seven crew members who died in the Space Shuttle Columbia disaster when the spacecraft disintegrated during its re-entry into the Earth's atmosphere. She is regarded as a national hero in India.
Pearl Young was the first female professional hired by the NACA (which eventually became NASA), in an age when most women in the government were constrained to staffing support positions such as secretaries or administrative aides. After a productive initial career in the field of instrumentation, she recognized the shortcomings of technical writing by the Langley staff and the lack of a systematic approach within the NACA to prepare technical documents. She personally conceived and implemented a highly-successful technical writing system that resulted in outstanding documentation of superior quality. The basic approach inspired by her efforts was implemented by the NACA and NASA, and continues to be used today.

In “Principia” , Newton explained the three laws of motion. Principles of Flight part of aviation theory explains laws of physics flight – how lift, trust, drag and weight are counteract, and how airplane is controlled and stabilized in the air.During all stages of flight it is vital to know how lift is generated, how aircraft … Principle plays in the ability of aircraft to achieve lift, the Bernoulli Principle is not the only reason for flight. Subcategories of Principles of Flight Setup training session. They vary, not only with flight conditions, but also with different wing designs, Different airfoils have different flight characteristics. Force can be defined as a push or pull. 2 Tracks. Thrust can overcome or counteract the force of drag. Note that the maximum lift/drag ratio (L/DMAX) occurs at one specific CL and AOA. It enables the website to remember your actions and preferences (such as login, language, font size and other display preferences) over a period of time, so you don’t have to keep re-entering them whenever you come back to the site or browse from one page to another. The motion of an object in or through a medium, especially through the earth's atmosphere or through space. The principles of flight are the aerodynamics which deals with the motion of air and the forces acting on a body, in our case an aircraft; lift is the most obvious force, as its what we think of as giving an aircraft the ability to fly; thrust, provides a method with which to move the aircraft The aircraft propeller consists of two or more blades and a central hub to which the blades are attached. As a result, the air tends to flow from the high pressure area below the tip upward to the low pressure area on the upper surface. due to its shape and airflow around it, Turbulent wake caused by separation of airflow (burbling) created by the shape of the aircraft, When the air has to separate to move around a moving aircraft and its components, it eventually rejoins after passing the body, Newer aircraft are generally made with consideration to this by fairings along the fuselage so that turbulence and form drag is reduced [Figure 5-7], Generated by the collision of air-streams creating eddy currents, turbulence, or restrictions to smooth flow, The most interference drag is created when two surfaces meet at perpendicular angles, The drag of each item individually, added to that of the aircraft, are less than that of the two items when allowed to interfere with one another, If a jet fighter carries two identical wing tanks, the overall drag is greater than the sum of the individual tanks because both of these create and generate interference drag, Fairings and distance between lifting surfaces and external components (such as radar antennas hung from wings) reduce interference drag. Thus, modern airplanes have airfoils that strike a medium between extremes in design. For a steady flight all forces - more precisely the force momentums (product from force and duration of action) - affecting the ornithopter during a complete wing stroke cycle must be in balance. Pressure - Pressure is the force per unit area. B glide path angle. Adaptation for flight is highly developed in birds bird, warm-blooded, egg-laying, vertebrate animal having its body covered with feathers and its forelimbs modified into wings, which are used by most birds for flight. 8 tracks (). The weight pulls down on the plane opposing the lift created by air flowing over the wing. Discuss the four forces of flight and some of the hazards relating to aerodynamics.

The acceleration increases air speed past the wing, which increases lift so the plane gains altitude. At an altitude of 18,000 feet, the density of the air has one-half the density of air at sea level. This lowered pressure is a component of total lift. ZAR 495 . Learn vocabulary, terms, and more with flashcards, games, and other study tools. Otherwise, if the AOA is decreased too fast, the aircraft will descend, and if the AOA is decreased too slowly, the aircraft will climb, As the airspeed varies due to thrust, the AOA must also vary to maintain level flight, At very high speeds and level flight, it is even possible to have a slightly negative AOA, As thrust is reduced and airspeed decreases, the AOA must increase in order to maintain altitude, If speed decreases enough, the required AOA will increase to the critical AOA, Any further increase in the AOA will result in the wing stalling, Therefore, extra vigilance is required at reduced thrust settings and low speeds so as not to exceed the critical angle of attack, If the airplane is equipped with an AOA indicator, it should be referenced to help monitor the proximity to the critical AOA, Some aircraft have the ability to pivot the engines or vector the exhaust, thereby changing the direction of the thrust rather than changing the AOA [Figure 5-4], Drag is the rearward, resisting force caused by disruption of airflow, Drag is the net aerodynamic force parallel to the relative wind, Drag is always a by-product of lift and thrust, Their are two basic types of drag (induced and parasite) with total drag being a combination of the two, In level flight, the aerodynamic properties of a wing or rotor produce a required lift, but this can be obtained only at the expense of a certain penalty, That penalty, induced drag, is inherent whenever an airfoil is producing lift, as AOA increases, induced drag increases proportionally, To state this another wayâthe lower the airspeed, the greater the AOA required to produce lift equal to the aircraft's weight and, therefore, the greater induced drag.

The first H145, leased from international lessor, Waypoint Leasing, arrived last week in Goroka, following final reassembly at Airbus Group Australia Pacific’s Sydney
The remaining two H145s purchased and owned by Pacific Helicopters, will be delivered later this year.
This H145 is the first new Airbus Helicopters aircraft to be operated in Papua New Guinea setting a new industry standard.
Operators are increasingly looking for high-performance, efficient rotorcraft with strong safety credentials and oil and gas operational compliance – which are key characteristics of the Airbus Helicopters
“As a result of the introduction of the H145, and the demonstration flights carried out in Port Moresby, Pacific Helicopters is confident that their prospects for future business opportunities within the PNG minerals and resources industry are very exciting,” Pacific Helicopters owner and chief executive officer Malcom Smith-Kela said.
He said with their versatile configuration, the aircraft is able to perform a variety of tasks, including Defence Force support, emergency medical services, law enforcement, government department runs, oil and gas, aerial work, and business and private passenger transport.
“The H145 is a powerful, comfortable, modern and versatile multi-purpose rotorcraft, already produced with a large range of options to perform a broad mission spectrum that is also ideal for the support of the oil and gas industry here in PNG”, explained Nicole Demosky, Pacific Helicopters’ marketing
The Airbus Group is providing H145 flight crew training and power by the hour support from the company’s Sydney base.
The H145 is the latest variant of the popular high-performance, twin-engine range from Airbus Helicopters,” said Tony Fraser, managing director of Airbus Group Australia Pacific.
“We are proud to grow our partnership with Pacific Helicopters and support them as they continue to expand their operations, particularly in the demanding flying environment of Papua New Guinea.” | aerospace |

Anderson’s commercial aviation career dates back more than 30 years, including high-level positions at Airbus, Boeing, Virgin America, ATR Aircraft, and most recently, as chief operating officer at Breeze Airways.
Today we announce the appointment of Tom Anderson as Archer’s Chief Operating Officer, Urban Air Mobility: https://t.co/is1bEh67HE pic.twitter.com/XjCHP6uEOW
– Archer (rArcherAviation) June 14, 2022
California-based Archer brings Anderson in as it moves toward establishing operations for a planned commercial air taxi service using electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft currently under development.
Archer is one of the few air taxi developers planning to manufacture eVTOLs as well as operate an air taxi service. Backed by United Airlines, Archer and United have formed a joint eVTOL advisory committee to help develop its airline operations.
With Archer, Anderson will oversee and direct future urban air mobility (UAM) operations, focusing on commercial operations.
“I’ve spent my entire career focused on developing and scaling commercial aviation operations,” Anderson said in a news release. “I am looking forward to advancing the company towards its commercial launch, capitalizing on the company’s strategic partnerships and introducing the public to the benefits of urban air mobility.”
The company’s battery-powered, tilt-rotor air taxi test article — dubbed Maker– began uncrewed hover testing last December. Archer has made significant progress toward its goal of receiving FAA certification for its eVTOL in time to enter service in 2024.

‘Deepening Its Bench’
Archer CEO Adam Goldstein pointed out that Anderson’s hiring was part of the company’s broader goal aimed at “deepening its bench of aviation’s best and brightest talent.”
Anderson also served as part of the team that launched JetBlue Airways.
While overseeing UAM operations, Anderson will develop an air mobility ecosystem.
A large part of eVTOL ecosystems will include establishing takeoff and landing sites, known as vertiports, to support passenger routes in each air taxi market.
Last year, Archer partnered with REEF, the largest vehicle parking operator in North America, to develop vertiport facilities on existing infrastructure, and committed to Miami, Florida, as “a flagship launch market.” | aerospace |

Safety features and calls from NASA technicians were ignored in order to meet self-imposed deadlines. Critics claimed that the fatal accident of Apollo 204, could easily have been avoided if safety concerns had been listened to.
However, a Senate Committee on January 30, 1968 reported after the fatal Apollo 204 accident which killed three astronauts, that the end-of-the-decade "Moon landing was necessary because the schedule is an essential and significant management tool."
The critics of the Apollo program who railed about the terrible odds and lack of safety features were suppressed, and are now silent because the Apollo program gambled against the odds and actually won. Critics had claimed that the manned moon program was "an arbitrary goal" and that there was "no logical next step" beyond landing men on the moon. They were correct in terms of the public-known space programs, yet the glory of the Apollo program and its success silences their reasoning. So why bring up their moot criticism?
Because it is being established for the reader how much the manned space program, which took money away from possible unmanned programs, was actually motivated on the basis of national pride and not scientific research.
The lives of many brave American astronauts were recklessly played with so that the world could marvel at Americans planting the American flag on the moon. But America wanted that glory. Some of the NASA scientists got antcy, because so much precious lunar time was spent on the first lunar mission, Apollo 11, just "raising" the flag. They were more concerned with learning scientific data than pomp and ceremony. Americans wouldn't trade that glory for more moon dust, or for more knowledge of the lunar surface. They were proud to get their flag to the moon first.
It seems then that with so much hoopla and pride, with so many billions spent to achieve that great feat, with so much danger given to our brave astronauts that America would not want to share the glory of the moon landing. It would seem that it might be disconcerting to some Americans to learn that the Masonic flag got to the lunar surface at the same time the American flag did. The Masons tied for first flag to the moon. Yes, taxpaying Americans spent billions of dollars to get the Scottish Rite's flag to the moon first.
Most people I have mentioned this to have seen the significance of this. Then others say, "So what if the Masons got their flag to the moon first?" Our President Kennedy answered that one. He said that whoever got their flag to the moon first was to be considered the leader of mankind on earth.
There are other interesting aspects to this. How ironic it is that the organization that sponsored and got the first Communist Internationale going was given such a big privilege by a supposedly anti-communist U.S. space program. Communism's sponsoring organization during the 1860s was the Masonic Lodge.
H.G. Wells, who has ties to Freemasonry, and was a Fabian Socialist, prophecied that men would land on the moon. Masons have held H.G. Wells up as a "prophet" in their official Scottish Rite publication. The One-Worlders seemed to have a interest in insuring his forecast and plans would happen.
H.G. Wells felt that the New World Order would rule because it controlled the air and sea ways. Indeed today they do dominate it completely.
For instance, his book The Shape of Things To Come, on p. 11
advises us that "...during the struggles and changes in world government that went on between 1980 and 2 059, at which date the Air Dictatorship, properly so called, gave place to that world-wide Modern State."
He also calls the Air Dictatorship a different name "the new World Council". "The new World Council, which is known also as the Air Dictatorship..."(p. 348)
In A Modern Utopia, p. 67, H.G. Wells tells us that this Air Dictatorship's Utopia will be "Bacon's visionary House of Saloman." And in the following pages he foresees that some of this Utopia's methods will use Plato's thinking.
The Air Dictatorship's air power was demonstated in the book The Shape of Things to Come and the film based on it, in the same manner that George Bush demonstated the New World Order's air power in Iraq. The parallels are interesting.
Is it proper to call 33° Mason George Bush's New World Order an Air Dictatorship?
•In 1991, when Iraqi Scud missiles were launched Air Force Space Command Defense Support Program missile-warning satellites provided stereo data on the Iraqi Scuds within seconds of their launches.8 Within 12 0 seconds the underground facility in the Rocky Mountain, which is full of computers, had received the data and determined what to do. The commands would be relayed in seconds back to the Patriot missile crews in Saudi Arabia or Israel which then would figure the last minute tragetories and launch their Patriot missiles.9 The reaction time would be in a matter of something like 6 minutes from the time the scuds were fired until the Patriots were launched. Is that air power?
•The government admits that its spy-satellites can read license plates and newspapers from outerspace. When describing intelligence capabilities it usually understates its capabilities. Imaging satellites beam their intelligence down to the Air Force/CIA at Fort Belvoir, VA. In the future if the Air Dictatorship wants to turn its attention to control you, it could conceivably watch your house from space, and follow you going out to your car, and track your car electronically. A description of one of the spy satellites:
"The 20m-long 13t KH-lls fly in pairs. Sun-synchronous orbits so that a first pass over a particular site is followed three hours later by the second craft. Each sports solid state CCD arrays for multi-spectral imaging via a 2m-diameter mirror and, although its 250km perigees that contribute to its 1,000-day lifetimes limit resolution to around 30 cm, the digital imagery is really manipulated and available to analysis within 90 min. This rapid response was the essential ingredient in attempting the rescue of the hostages in Tehran's U.S. embassy in 1980..."10
Yes, the satellites are like a pair of eyes in the sky which can be used for directing military operations. Satellites have also been used in law enforcement in the United States. Is that not air power? Can't our New World Order today properly be called an Air Dictatorship?
The significance that Bacon's House of Saloman (Solomon) is also describing this same World Order (this Air Dictatorship) will be seen as we examine some more about what the Masonic Lodge is and its history.

The original flight, attempted by famous Australian aviators Harry Hawker and Harry Kauper, was never completed, so the crew of the Catalina, led by pilot Jeff Boyling (who also hails from Australia) are hoping to succeed where they did not.
The take-off of the Catalina was watched by the grandchildren and great-grandchildren of Harry Hawker for whom the recreation of the flight, attempted by their famous relative, was a poignant and proud moment.
While the airspace in 2013 is somewhat more restricted than 100 years ago, the crew of the Catalina intends to follow the 1913 route as closely as possible. The 1600 mile route will take approximately five days.
The Catalina is due to land back at IWM Duxford on Sunday 24 August at approximately 4.34pm. | aerospace |

Having several opportunities for military aviation dissolve, I have stayed involved with aviation and decided to pursue flying for pleasure and perhaps some business down the road.
I grew up around aviation with my father being a career Air Force transport pilot and mother being very supportive of my dream of becoming a pilot. In college, I earned my private license and used it for pleasure flying. My training was completed at Wilgrove Airpark in Charlotte, NC (8A6). It was a perfect setting with a great instructor and a challenging little runway tucked away in the trees. After moving to Chicago, I finished my instrument rating flying with Windy City Flyers out of Chicago Executive (PWK). With the umbrella of O’hare and Great Lakes surrounding the airport, I gained a lot of great experience in IMC and IFR!
My wife, Laura, has always enjoyed flying with me, especially the flight we took two days after my instrument check ride. We flew to Door County, Wisconsin for a photo trip over Lake Michigan and Cave Point. What she didn’t know was the low voltage light that came on was deliberate! It “forced” us to make a precautionary landing for lunch and a drive out to the lake. There, she was completely surprised when I dropped to one knee and pulled out a ring! We stayed the night and then flew back the next day. The whole trip depended on me passing my check ride because flying home was 90% in IMC and included a ILS down to minimums back at Executive (that went flawlessly)!
Today, we live back down south in Charlotte, NC. We just finished renovating our first home and preparing the workshop/garage for our RV build. We enjoy staying active with our two dogs, Kayla and Chester. Camping, beach and mountain trips, and cruises are our favorite past times. I am a manager for an industrial supply company and a 1LT in the North Carolina Air National Guard. Laura is an analyst for a large bank here in Charlotte.

Despite limited post-World War I technical developments, early aviation remained a dangerous business. Flying conditions proved difficult since the only navigation devices available to most pilots were magnetic compasses. Pilots flew 200 to 500 feet above ground so they could navigate by roads and railways. Low visibility and night landings were made using bonfires on the field as lighting. Fatal accidents were routine.
Aviation industry leaders believed the airplane could not reach its full commercial potential without federal action to improve and maintain safety standards. At their urging, the Air Commerce Act was passed in 1926. This landmark legislation charged the Secretary of Commerce with fostering air commerce, issuing and enforcing air traffic rules, licensing pilots, certifying aircraft, establishing airways, and operating and maintaining aids to air navigation.
A series of legislative and administrative actions during the 1930s added additional layers of federal protection to aeronautics. Chief among those was the Civil Aeronautics Act signed into law by President Franklin Roosevelt. The act established the Civil Aeronautics Authority (CAA) and an Air Safety Board that would conduct accident investigations and recommend ways of preventing accidents.
In spite of the CAA, safety issues remained:
On June 30, 1956, a Trans World Airlines Super Constellation and a United Air Lines DC-7 collided over the Grand Canyon, Arizona, killing all 128 occupants of the two airplanes. The collision occurred while the aircraft were flying under visual flight rules in uncongested airspace. The accident dramatized the fact that, even though U.S. air traffic had more than doubled since the end of World War II, little had been done to mitigate the risk of midair collisions.
This high-profile accident prompted passage of the Federal Aviation Act. Signed into law in 1958 by President Dwight Eisenhower, the act created the Federal Aviation Agency (now called the Federal Aviation Administration).

I start watching the weather forecast a few days before a flight, hoping for calm winds and clear skies. That was not going to be the case for this flight. It would become one of my most exciting and memorable flights so far.
I got up at 7am for early flight, checked the weather and saw that the high winds forecasted for the last few days had not changed. Suddenly I was nervous again about going up. Thankfully, the night before, I head read up on crosswind takeoffs and landings.
After arriving at the airport and before heading out to the plane I reviewed the crosswind takeoff technique with my instructor: full aileron into the wind before the takeoff roll starts and less as the ailerons become effective, using the appropriate amount of rudder as usual. Once off the ground, let the plane crab into the wind. Sounds easy enough but I had no idea how much aileron would be needed as we left the ground, I didn’t want to slam a wing into the ground. During preflighting we tuned to the WX frequency and heard the report “Winds 310 at 16, peak gusts 24” (18 mph and 27 mph). We headed out to runway 27 and, with my instructor on the controls with me, performed a nice, clean takeoff. No drama, no discomfort. I had, once again, gotten myself worked up for nothing. We climbed quickly with the 16 knot headwind and 180hp engine in the freezing winter air.
The turbulence was kicking us around a bit on the way to the practice area, the wind gusting from the west as we flew north. I did my best to not fight it and relax on the controls, let the plane take the bumps instead of constantly overcorrecting. As we climbed up to 2000 feet we started entering the edges of the clouds, surrounding us with haze that was just starting to dissipate. There were patches of clear sky opening up and shafts of bright sunlight shining through, saturating the surrounding clouds with a beautiful, glowing white light. Flying around in the edge of the clouds made it feel like I had a little patch of the world to myself.
After practicing a power-off stall we turned back towards the airport for some crosswind landings. A quick check of the WX frequency reported the wind coming from a more northerly direction so we’d be using runway 36 for the landings. Flying in strong winds a week after practicing ground reference maneuvers was a perfect way to reinforce what I had learned. The stronger winds really helped to illustrate crabbing against the wind, especially on final. The first two crosswind landings felt a little sloppy but the third and final landing of the day felt much better. I would have been happy to practice a few more landings but, sadly, the hour was up.
With each flying lesson I get more comfortable with a certain aspect of aviation. Before this flight, my biggest remaining area of concern was high winds and turbulence. With this lesson, that fear has turned into respect and anticipation. Crosswind takeoffs and landings require careful coordination and attention but they also expose some of the more interesting and exciting skills required for flying. Hopefully, in future lessons, I’ll be much more relaxed when it comes to unfamiliar situations.
It had been four weeks since my last flight, I was looking forward to going back up to work on my next lesson: Ground Reference Maneuvers. Before the flight my instructor discussed the plan. We’d do a review of previous skills and then three ground reference maneuvers: rectangular course, turns around a point and s-turns.
Ground reference maneuvers are a handful of different turns at a relatively low altitude that involve learning to fly more precisely relative to the wind. Driving a car in a circle is simple enough, you turn the wheel into the direction of the circle and keep it there, going slow enough to prevent the tires from losing traction. Now imagine you’re driving on ice with a strong wind, you have to compensate for the wind pushing you across the ice, making parts of the turn sharper than others. Flying in a circle is similar but also requires you to maintain altitude as well as keeping an eye out for other planes.
First up was “turns around a point” or, more simply, flying in a circle around a point on the ground. The goal is to fly a clean circle and keep the same track around the point for each turn. During my last flight in San Francisco I circled Candlestick Park a few times until ATC cleared us to continue our flight. When I was making those turns I wasn’t taking the wind into consideration and drifted away from the park. I did better on this most recent flight with my instructor helping me through each part of the turn.
Next up was s-turns where the goal is to fly equally sized half circles along both sides of a straight road. The first turn into the maneuver wasn’t very clean as I wasn’t immediately sure which road my instructor wanted me to follow. The subsequent turns were better and I’m sure they’ll improve in the next flights. We headed back to the airport to do rectangular course, basically just flying the pattern a few times. Towards the end of the last few turns I started to get a better feel for the wind affecting the plane. I’m looking forward to practicing more of these turns, they definitely help get a better feel for maneuvering a plane. They’re also kinda fun, you get to really “fly” the plane, exercising all the controls, instruments and looking around constantly.
I recorded this flight using the CloudAhoy app on my iPad and an external Garmin GLO Bluetooth GPS sitting on the dash of the plane. CloudAhoy records the flight path and profile including location, speed and altitude and uploads to their servers for analysis after the flight. Being able to review the specifics of takeoffs, turns and landings after the lesson is great, it showed me exactly how well I performed each maneuver.
I hope to increase the frequency of my flights, up from twice a month to at least three times a month. The longer the wait between flights the more you have to relearn the skills from the previous lessons. My goal is to get my license in as little time and cost as possible.

The family legacy of military service may have been the initial spark that inspired retired Lt. Col. Paul Amey to launch his military career. But he was the very first in his family to ever earn his aviation “Wings of Gold.”
It was in his sophomore year of college at Benedictine College when Paul came to terms with the reality that his football scholarship wouldn’t lead to a career in the NFL. When Paul’s father prompted him to consider military service, his father’s own service as a Marine in WWII lent him credibility for such a recommendation.
Paul earned his stripes during his 9-year active duty service as a pilot in the U.S. Navy. He then switched to his hometown Air Force Reserve Unit known as the “KC Hawgs” flying the A-10 Warthog in 2000. Now a commercial airline pilot and instructor for United Airlines, Paul’s roots in military flight remain deep and influential. When he isn’t flying over Munich and Dublin in a Boeing 777, he performs flyovers at local high school football games.
The team Paul flies with, KC Flight, is a local all-volunteer civilian formation team. It comprises a group of both civilian and retired military pilots who like an opportunity to scratch their itch. But more importantly, Paul and pilots like him recognize that lending an emotional impact at public events also serves a greater purpose. Performing flyovers at Kansas City’s Memorial Day Celebration at the Station not only helps him relive the days of flying in his old squadron, but it may also inspire young, future pilots on the ground and bring a sense of unity to the Midwest community.
“There is a sense of that same kind of comradery I had in the military when you’re formation flying,” he says.
Prior to this, Paul served in the Air Force reserves for three years while attending college. Those years were the ones that divided him from other ambitious cadets looking to earn their wings.
In January 1986, Paul attended his first Air Force Reserves drill period where he interacted with a handful of A10-Warthog pilots. It was the interaction with these pilots that inspired his career decision. The idea of flying fighters and protecting troops on the ground with life-saving ground cover was all he needed to begin his journey.
“I knew right then that this is what I wanted to do,” Paul says. “I need to be active; I can’t really be myself if I am wearing a suit and tie and sitting in an office. I knew this was the right move for me.”
Paul started financing his way by throwing boxes for UPS while attending classes in the afternoon. Once he started flying, Paul abandoned his football career, dropped out of Benedictine College and sniffed out an FAA-approved civilian aviation training program. It just so happens there was an excellent one down the street at the University of Central Missouri.
During his senior year at UCM, Paul was selected into the highly competitive Naval Aviation Cadet Program. This program, unlike others which required bachelor degrees from its candidates, sought out students who had no college degree but at least 60 college credits. While being the exact type of program Paul needed to earn his wings, it did not come without a cost.
“You couldn’t be married or have any dependents, and you were required to live on base,” Paul says. “You earned half of an Ensign’s pay for the duration of the training, but you didn’t actually have any rank. You would not be a commissioned officer until you earned your wings. There were all these restrictions.”
The stakes were high for Paul; if he or other cadets washed out of flight school, they owed the U.S. Navy two years of “swabbing decks.” But Paul was willing to risk it all for the opportunity to fly fighters.
Thus he was released by his Air Force Reserve unit and dropped out of UCM his senior year to join the U.S Navy. Before he went to Aviation Officer Candidate School in Pensacola, Florida, Paul struck a deal with Dr. John Horine who was the director of the aviation department at UCM. If Paul completed naval flight school and got his Wings of Gold, which could take up to two years, Dr. Horine would grant him his degree.
Despite the fact that Paul was still 12 credits shy from a bachelor’s degree when he completed flight school on Dec 1,8 1990, Dr. Horine stayed true to his promise.
“I was commissioned as an officer, earned my wings, and received my degree all on that same day,” Paul says. “And 10 days later I married the love of my life.”
Paul says his most valuable take-away from his military service was exemplified in his six deployments, five of which were to Iraq and Afghanistan. Being one of the very first reserve air units into Iraq after the regime change in 2003, Paul quickly learned how to put political opinions and personal feelings aside when it meant protecting troops on the ground. His discipline in compartmentalization is what helped bring numerous men and women home to their families. And this same sense of duty colors Paul’s approach to work and family to this day.

This accomplishment follows a test flight taken by Mr. Branson and his team two years ago, marking the dawn of a new era in lucrative space tourism. The Guardian reported that Virgin Galactic’s rocket plane, Unity, embarked on this historic journey, with around 800 tickets for future flights already sold.
The groundbreaking sub-orbital flight, lasting approximately 90 minutes, witnessed the presence of two Italian air force colonels, an aeronautical engineer from Italy’s National Research Council, and a Virgin Galactic instructor. Accompanied by the aircraft’s two pilots, these individuals were part of a momentous event that propelled Virgin Galactic into the forefront of commercial space travel.
During the mission, the spacecraft transitioned into re-entry mode and gracefully returned to the runway at Spaceport America near El Paso, Texas. Notably, the crew relished a few minutes of weightlessness at the pinnacle of their journey and proudly unfurled the Italian flag, an emblem of their collective achievement. Expressing their jubilation, Virgin Galactic took to Twitter to announce, “Welcome back to Earth, #Galactic01! Our pilots, crew, and spaceship have landed smoothly at @Spaceport_NM.”
Virgin Galactic employs a unique approach to space travel. Their “mothership” aircraft, helmed by two skilled pilots, takes off from a conventional runway and ascends to high altitude. Subsequently, it releases a rocket-powered plane that soars into space, reaching speeds of nearly Mach 3, before gracefully gliding back to Earth. Passengers aboard the space plane’s cabin are treated to a few minutes of weightlessness and the awe-inspiring sight of the Earth’s curvature from a vantage point over 50 miles (80 kilometers) above sea level, as highlighted by AFP.
This momentous achievement by Virgin Galactic marks a significant step forward for the burgeoning space tourism industry. With approximately 800 tickets already sold for future flights, the company is poised to capitalize on the growing demand for space travel experiences. As technology advances and becomes more accessible, the dream of exploring the cosmos is no longer confined to science fiction, but rather a tangible and exhilarating opportunity for those seeking to venture beyond the confines of our planet.
Virgin Galactic’s successful completion of their first commercial spaceflight not only establishes their prowess in the field but also reinforces the viability of space tourism as a lucrative and exciting industry. With further advancements and continued interest from prospective travelers, the boundaries of exploration are set to be pushed even further, bringing us closer to a future where space travel becomes a routine part of human existence.

THE AIR TRANSPORT AUXILIARY
The ATA came into being in September 1939, under the direction of Gerard d' Erlanger, a young banker, private
pilot, and director of BOAC British Overseas Airways Corporation. He foresaw the possibility of using privately owned aircraft,
'A' rated pilots and commercial pilot's who had been stood down, to assist the war effort by carrying mail, important
passengers and spare parts. The first recruits included farmers, publicans, journalists and World War 1 pilot's,
but they were soon in action delivering aircraft from factories and maintenance units to the Fleet Air Arm and the R.A.F.
They began with with light aircraft and progressed to cover all twin and four engined machines, flying boats and early jets.
Ansons were used mainly, to take ATA pilots to collect aircraft and return them afterwards to their bases. White Waltham became
the H.Q. and number 1 ferry pool. The organisation grew speedily and in January 1940 eight women were recruited , soon
to be joined by others, including Amy Johnson who met her death in the Thames estuary in 1941,while ferrying an Oxford,a twin
During the Battle Of Britain the demand for ferrying Spitfires and Hurricanes to airfields in
the south east of England became enormouse and it often had to be done during Luftwaffe attacks. Every type of British
and American aircraft used by the Fleet Air Arm and the R.A.F where delivered by the ATA. By 1944 the ATA had 22 U.K bases,
659 pilot's (inc 108 women) and 109 male and female flight engineers. As the allies moved into Europe the ATA organisation
followed into France , Holland and finally into Germany. At it's peak the staff of ATA totalled 3,555, comprising
aircrew, ground staff, and R.A.F attached personnel. ATA pilot's where from 28 different nations. ATA operated throughout
the war and was not disbanded until November 1945, by then no less than 309,011 aircraft had been ferried and 414,984 hours
flown, a remarkable record that we should not forget.
Lord Beaverbrook, who was Minister for Aircraft Production,
said of the ferry pilot's:
'They were soldiers fighting in the Battle
just as completely as
if they had been
engaged on the battlefront'
By the time the war had been going on for some
time, every aircraft flown by the Fleet Air Arm and the Royal Air Force had, first of all, been flown by an ATA pilot, but
not without casualities. The ATA flew every day, in all weathers and without radio. They had to avoid flying into balloon
barrages which were around cities, towns and important factories. Some times they were shot at by the enemy and, now and then,
by their own side. They could not shoot back, as the aircraft were not armed. 174 highly trained personnel were killed
and to these people

to variouse aerodromes.
following shall apply to candidates by way of qualifications:-
Women age 22-45
2). Minimum of flying hours - 250
3). Candidates shall be the holders of
A or B licences
4). Candidates will be required to pass practical flying tests and although "A"
Licence medical standards should, in most cases, surffice, in certain instances a further examination may be required.
the outbreak of war, British Airways, in conjunction with the Air Ministry, initiated a National Service organisation known
as the "Air Transport Auxiliary". This organisation is now being enlarged to encompass a women's section and
it is to this section that women pilots will be attached.
The ATA is a self-contained unit
with it's own executive and senior officers and I have been invited and have accepted the post of "Officer in Charge
of the women's section"; It is in this capacity that I am writing this letter.
Admission to the women's
section of the ATA will be on a competitive basis in veiw of the fact that, at this stage at any rate, the number of women
pilots whom it is contemplated engaging will not be large, and upon admission pilots will be required to enter into a contract
with British Airways, the terms which have yet to be settled, but it will provide for a rate of pay, insurance, and under
the contract pilots will be given the rank of Second Officer and a uniform. The contract provides, intor alia, for the
1). Pilots will be required
to maintain their "A" and/or "B" licence.
2). That pilots should serve as instructed.
3). That any pilot if required, shall submit herself to periodical tests at the Company's School
for Pilots and, if necessary, subsequently undertake in the school further training.
so began the first induction of women pilots into the 'Air Transport Auxiliary'
Training in a variety of aircraft became necessary as a result of the ATA Conversion School
being formed. Various types flown by the ATA where organised into different categories:
Single-engined light aircraft:
Magister, D.H. Moth, Auster, Proctor, Swordfish, Gladiator, Tutor, Messenger.
Class1+: Indicates that the pilot for some special reason cannot progress beyond Class 1 but has
enough experience to be authorized to carry passengers.
Class 2 section 1: Advanced single-engined:
Spitfire, Hurricane, Sea Hurricane, Corsair, Mustang, Typhoon, Tempest, Seafire, Hellcat, Defiant, Walrus.
Class 2 section 2: Dauntless, Helldiver, Battle, Kittyhawk, Seamew, Tomahawk, Kingfisher, Airacobra, Skua.
Class 3: Light twin-engined: Oxford, Anson, Dominie.
Class 3+: Indicates
that a pilot is considered sufficiently steady to be put on continued taxi work.
Class 4 Section 1:
Beaufort, Mosquito, Mitchell, Beaufighter, Warwick, Hudson, Blenheim, Dakota, Whitley, Buckingham,
Class 4 Section 2:
Manchester, Whirlwind, Hampdon, Botha, Maryland, Hereford.
Class 5 Four Engined:
Halifax, Fortress, Lincoln, Lancaster, Stirling, Liberator, York,
Class 6 Sea Planes:
Catalina, Sunderland, Sea Otter, Walrus.
The first eight female pilots
of the ATA were recruited in late 1939 by the remarkable and very capable commander Pauline Gower MBE, who had been given
the task of organising and training the womens' section of the ATA. Initially there was a good deal of male chauvinistic
opposition to the idea of women pilots, but it was soon evident that these ladies could outfly there male counterparts.
Eventually there were 166 women pilots who served in the ATA throughout the second world war ( many from overseas) of whom
fifteen lost their lives, including Amy Johnson aviatrix and pioneering pilot. Amy's husband Jim Mollinson also
served as an ATA pilot.
Female ATA pilots at first were only allowed to fly light training aircraft, but soon, as a result
of Pauline Gower's initiative, progressed to high performance fighters, Spitfire, Hurricane, Typhhoon etc, and then later
to the medium twin engined bombers, and later still the heavy four engined bombers Halifax, Sterling, Lancaster. They
flew everything but sea planes. ATA female pilots were later given equal pay, by a greatful British Government, one of the
first examples of equal pay.
Pauline Gower's ladies were issued with an attractive uniform consisting of dark
blue skirt or trousers, forage cap, light blue RAF style shirt, black tie and a single breasted jacket with the ATA insignia
in the centre of wings of gold thread. Badges of rank were gold bars on each shoulder. The press wanted pictures and
tales of these glamorous girls whose pictures brightened up wartime magazines and newwspapers. Many of the women were
experienced pilots, had a good number of pre-war flying hours to their credit, and had owned their own light aircraft.
Pauline Gower was typical of these women.
Miss Pauline Mary de Peauly Gower was born in Tunbridge Wells on 22nd
July 1910. She was the younger daughter of Sir William Gower MP 1880-1952. The family lived comfortably in a large
house Sandown Court Pembury. Pauline left the convent of the Sacred Heart Tunbridge Wells unsure of what to do with
her life. After considering making a living giving violin lessons, she felt she was not good enough, and settled on training
to be a pilot. Her father was not pleased about this and cut off her allowance. Pauline persevered, and paid for
her flying lessons by giving violin tuitions, she went solo after seven hours on 4th August 1930 and soon obtained her commercial
pilot's 'B' licence, only the third woman in the world to do so. It was at the London Aero Club at Stag
Lane where she met Amy Johnson and Dorothy Spicer an engineer and pilot, who became her partner in several aviation ventures.
After various spells with flying circuses. ( Britain was air mad at this time). together they set up an air taxi
and joy-riding business 'Air Trips Ltd' operating between Hunstanton in north Norfolk and Skegness
in Lincolnshire. Pauline used a hired Gipsy Moth and the two seater Simmonds Spartan bought for her twenty first birthday
by her doting father, who by this time, had relented and become very supportive of her efforts.
By 1938 Pauline
Gower was a formidable much respected figure in aviation circles, not only had she flown more than 2,000 hours and carried
upward of 30,000 passengers, but had been given many honours, including an M.B.E. and appointment to several commissions into
air safety. She was commissioner of the Civil Air Guard, and was appointed to the board of B.O.A.C.
as ATA commander was very approachable and protective of her fledgling pilots. One who had failed an initial medical,
she helped by recommending a 'doctor friendly to lady pilots'. The same girl later crashed a Spitfire at Donibristle
on the Firth of Forth Scotland, and was found at fault, and feared the chop. She wrote: With the verdict came a
summons to White Waltham H.Q. of No1 ATA ferry pool, and I went down by train in the depth's of despair. I was not very
far out in my reckoning. Pauline Gower was very nice about it all offering me the alternative of staying on just to
fly light aircraft, 'alright I said, I'll fly anything you like if you let me stay. I've never had any trouble
with Oxfords, why not let me fly light twins too? She agreed that this was a sensible idea and posted me to Luton Nr
London No4 ATA ferry pool.
The pilot in questian was Mary de Bunson, a remarkable young lady with a connection to the
Tennyson de' Eyncourt family of Bayons Manor Tealby Lincolnshire.
Pauline Gower married Wing Commander William
Fahie at Brompton Oratory on 2nd June 1945. Pauline died aged 37 of a heart attack after giving birth to twins on 2nd
March 1947 and was burried in Tumbridge Wells. Her leadership qualities, organisational skills and massive contribution
to aviation assure her of a lasting place in British aviation history. | aerospace |

Jemison
For this week’s Wednesday’s Women in STEM Series, we spotlight a woman who shows girls that you don’t have to choose science or dance but can pursue both at the same time. Mae C. Jemison is an American astronaut and physician who, on June 4, 1987, became the first African American woman to be admitted into NASA’s astronaut training program. On September 12, 1992, Jemison finally flew into space with six other astronauts aboard the Endeavour on mission STS47, becoming the first African American woman in space. Additionally, she loved to dance and was an excellent jazz dancer! She once said: “Many people do not see a connection between science and dance, but I consider them both to be expressions of the boundless creativity that people have to share with one another.”
Growing up, Jemison loved both science and dance. She was very involved in extracurricular activities, including dance and theater productions, and served as head of the Black Student Union. She danced and choreographed throughout college at Stanford while studying hard to become a chemical engineer. After college, Jemison attended medical school at Cornell Medical College while also taking dance lessons at the Alvin Ailey Dance School. Inspired by the astronaut Sally Ride, the first American woman in space in 1983, she applied to NASA’s astronaut program as one of few black women. She was accepted for astronaut training in 1987. Her first mission was aboard the Shuttle Endeavour in September of 1992 as a Science Mission Specialist. Jemison worked as a Science Mission Specialist with NASA until 1993. After leaving the astronaut corps, Jemison accepted a teaching fellowship at Dartmouth. She also established the Jemison Group, a company that seeks to research, develop, and market advanced technologies to advance technology in developing countries.
Mae Jemison found a way to pursue a careering in engineering, medicine, and space travel while not giving up on her passion for dance. Her determination and perseverance as a female minority helped her become the first African-American woman in space. Don’t give up on your passions for the sake of education. If Mae could do it, anyone can. Believe in yourself and show the world who you are!

U.S. astronaut Scott Kelly hailed the achievement on Twitter with a photo of the orange blossom and a post saying “First flower ever grown in space makes its debut.”
The flower-growing experiment began on Nov. 16, when Kjell Lindgren activated the zinnia seeds, a process that proved to be more difficult than expected.
In December, Kelly found that the zinnia plants were not growing as fast as hoped and some of the plants developed a fungus due to the high humidity on board the ISS.
Nevertheless, Kelly managed to rejuvenate the zinnias.
Since mid-2014, the ISS has had a small “vegetable center” to allow small-scale growing of plants for experiments.
The project is aimed at gathering information about plants’ response to microgravity with an eye toward future manned missions to Mars, which will require rationing water to the max.
In an intervew published on the weekend in the NASA blog, Alexandra Whitmire, a researcher with the agency, said that in the future, plants will have great importance as longer space missions are mounted.
In 2012, astronaut Don Pettit managed to grow zucchini, sunflowers and broccoli in plastic bags in a personal experiment.
The plants are grown aeroponically – without the need for soil – in an air or mist environment and the procedure requires much less water and fertilizer, with the plants growing three times faster than on Earth, NASA says. EFEfuturo | aerospace |

Aircraft Communications Addressing and Reporting System (ACARS) is a digital datalink system for transmission of short, relatively simple messages between aircraft and ground stations via radio or satellite. The protocol, which was designed by ARINC to replace their VHF voice service and deployed in 1978, uses telex formats. SITA later augmented their worldwide ground data network by adding radio stations to provide ACARS service. Over the next 20 years, ACARS will be superseded by the Aeronautical Telecommunications Network (ATN) protocol for Air Traffic Control communications and by the Internet Protocol for airline communications.

It was founded in 1926 under the name “Boeing Air Transport”. At first, the airline served as an airmail carrier flying from New York to San Francisco via Chicago and Salt Lake City. In 1930, the company started carrying passengers. That was also when the world’s first stewardesses were put into service. The first female flight attendant was a nurse named Ellen Church. During the Second World War, United Airlines employees served in the armed forces, piloting bombers, transporting mail, and taking part in various battles.
In 1962, upon its merger with Capital Airlines, the company became the world’s second-largest air carrier, being exceeded only by Aeroflot. However, it wasn’t until 1983 that United Airlines operated its first international flight – from Portland and Seattle to Tokyo. In 1991, due to financial difficulties of Pan American World Airways, United Airlines decided to purchase its routes between the States and London Heathrow. After the bankruptcy of Pan Am, its Pacific route system was also acquired by United.
In 1988, United Airlines and four other carriers (Air Canada, Lufthansa, SAS, and Thai Airways International) co-founded the Star Alliance airline partnership.
In the September 11th terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center, Al-Qaeda members hijacked two United Airlines airliners. Boeing 767-200ER crashed into the south tower while Boeing 757 – near Pennsylvania. As a result, the company reported a financial loss of nearly 2.1 billion dollars. However, thanks to the support of the U.S. government, it quickly returned to financial balance.
In 2010, United merged with Continental – both airlines continued to operate as subsidiaries of the newly created United Continental Holdings with the fleet of 692 aircraft and 370 airports in 59 countries served. All the flights were rebranded as United Airlines. In March 2012, Federal Aviation Administration approved the merger, so the two airlines are becoming one under a single operating license. | aerospace |

In this research, we examine the issue of flight delays in Nigeria as we begin by taking a look at the history of air transport in Nigeria as well as some of the causes of flight delays and its impact on the Nigerian economy.
History of Air Transport in Nigeria
Air transportation in Nigeria started during the British colonial rule. The first aircraft landed in Kano on November 1, 1925, which involved three De Havilland DH9A aircraft belonging to the Royal Air Force, RAF. The flight, led by flight Lt. Coningham took off from Helwan, Egypt with two stopovers: Sudan, and N’djamena, Chad (which was known as Fort Lany then).
Ever since, air transport has evolved from being handled/owned by the British to Nigeria having its national carrier (Nigerian Airways), to Nigeria having a fleet of domestic and international airlines operating daily in the country. However, this system has been plagued by recurrent flight delays, mainly affecting domestic flights.
The Nigerian Airways
Nigerian Airways was formed on 23rd August 1958. It was formerly known as West African Airways Corporation Nigeria Limited (WAAC Nigeria). WAAC as a company was a joint venture between the Nigerian government, Elder Dempster lines (Elder Dempster Lines was a UK shipping company that traded from 1932 to 2000), and the British Overseas Airways Corporation (BOAC). The major shareholder in the company was Nigeria with 51% followed by Elder Dempster lines with 33% and BOAC with 16%.
On March 25, 1961, Elder Dempster and BOAC sold their shares to the Nigerian Government making Nigeria the sole owner of the company. Unfortunately, the airline ceased operations in 2003. This was speculated to be due to incompetent management, retrogressive union activism, staff resistance to change, and corruption among others.
Data on Flight Operations in Nigeria
Nigeria has 32 airports that had 14 million passengers in 2021, despite the country having a population of 200 million people. Lagos airport alone accounts for 65% of this traffic. In 2021, the total number of domestic and international flights operated in Nigeria was 74,537 and 9,675 respectively.
The Normalisation of Flight Delays
Unfortunately in Nigeria, it has become the norm for domestic carriers to have flight delays. In extreme cases, even after lengthy delays, flights can be cancelled or shifted to another day, causing discomfort and additional cost to travellers. From our research, we think flight delays are caused by some of these key reasons:
Data on Domestic Flight Delays in 2019-2021
- Shortage of Aviation Fuel Supplies: Aeroplanes are fueled with aviation fuel. In Nigeria, aviation fuel is both limited and costly, and this can result in flight delays. In 2016 there was a fuel shortage that caused some international airlines to suspend flights to Nigeria and other airlines had to be refuelled in neighbouring countries like Ghana. Another occurred in 2016 when the airlines complained about high fuel prices at ₦200 per litre which has more than quadrupled to over ₦700 per litre in recent times. A resolution was made in 2017 to give airline operators the licence to import aviation fuel so they can bring in cheaper products.
The major issue contributing to the high cost of fuel is the high foreign exchange rate required to import fuel and the difficulties in transporting the fuel to the airports, as the pipeline system from the depot to the airport has not been fixed in two decades, so trucks have to be used to supply the products. According to experts, repairs done on the pipeline from Mosimi/Ejigbo to the MMA depot can contribute to a 20% reduction in fuel prices.
- Lack of Adequate Airport Infrastructure: The capacity for check-in at the country’s major airports is far less than what is required for on-time performance. Airlines are compelled to check-in passengers travelling to a variety of destinations from a small number of check-in desks at both the Lagos and Abuja domestic terminals, resulting in large waits and delays in passenger processing. There is also a need for up-to-date technologies in Nigerian Airports. For instance, numerous carousels were non-operational during the recent Christmas season in popular airports like Lagos and Abuja, slowing down the check-in process and causing passengers to wait extended periods of time to receive their luggage.
- Inadequate Technology for Air Traffic Controllers: An Aircraft typically waits 5 minutes at the runway’s holding point for an aircraft that just took off to reach cruise altitude before being allowed to take off. Frequently, particularly at the Lagos Airport, a plane about to take off can wait up to 15–20 minutes before being allowed to take off. These delays accumulate and cause further delays.
According to the annual report published by the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority, 74,537 domestic flights were operated in 2021 which conveyed 12,050,264 passengers. 41,328 (55%) domestic flights were delayed while 542 flights were cancelled. Air peace, Overland, Azman, Dana, Max Air, and Arik Airlines had over 55% of their flights delayed in Nigeria in 2021.
In 2019, 65,401 domestic flights were operated according to the annual report published by the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority. 37,510 domestic flights were delayed while 356 flights were cancelled.Domestic Flights Delayed in 2019-2021Data on International Flight Delays 2019–2021
In 2021, a total of 9,675 international flights were operated according to the annual report published by the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority. A total of 3,216 (33%) international flights were delayed while 37 flights were cancelled. While in 2019, 15,474 international flights were operated and a total of 4,880 international flights were delayed, while 82 flights were cancelled.
The chart below shows a comparison of the total number of flights that were delayed in 2019 and 2021. Domestic flight delays increased from 37,510 (in 2019) to 41,328 (in 2021), indicating a 10% increase over a 2 year period. While international flight delays decreased from 4,880 (in 2019) to 3,216 (in 2021), indicating a 34% decrease over a 2 year period.Total Number of Delayed Flights 2019–2021Passengers Bill of Rights in Nigeria
The Consumer Protection Regulations were implemented to educate airline passengers about the regulations published by the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) for the protection of air travellers’ rights. The rights are derived from Part 19 of ‘Nigeria’s Civil Aviation Regulations 2012, Vol. II.’
All airlines, international and domestic, are subject to the regulations, which provide basic passenger rights and responsibilities, as well as airline obligations.
- The right to the full value for your money.
- The right to compensation for flight cancellation, delay, damaged/lost baggage, and denied boarding for reasons other than technical, weather conditions, air traffic control restrictions, security risks, and industrial disputes that affect the operations of flight.
- The right to book and confirm tickets with an airline of your choice.
- The right to the provision of a conducive airport environment before, during, and after flights.
- The right to seek redress for all irregularities during your flight
- The right to timely feedback in respect of matters/complaints lodged with service providers.
- The right to be fully informed about flight status
- The right to be treated with respect and dignity irrespective of race or physical condition.
Under the Civil Aviation Act 2006 (CAA), NCAA Regulations (part 19), and the Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Act (FCCPA), passengers have certain legal rights when a flight is delayed;
The Economic Impact of Flight Delays
- For 30 minutes: you have the right to know the reason for the delay
- For 2 hours: you are entitled to refreshment
- For 3 hours: you are entitled to a full refund from the airline
- Between 10 pm — 4 am: you are entitled to transportation and hotel accommodation
A recent study by the International Air Transportation Association (IATA) in June 2020 showed that air transportation had a significant contribution to the Nigerian economy by providing 241,000 jobs both directly and indirectly as well as contributing about $1.7 billion to the Nigerian economy, which is about 0.4% of the GDP.
According to the study, Nigeria’s passenger facilitation is at 1.8/10, below the African average of 3/10. On the World Economic Forum’s Travel and Tourism Competitive Index, Nigeria ranks 69th out of 136 countries for cost competitiveness and on the Enabling Trade Index, Nigeria ranks 127th out of 136 countries globally for the facilitation of free flow of goods over the border.
A more efficient air transport system will cause an increase in the growth of the industry by 124% in the next 20 years with a contribution of about $4.7 billion to the GDP and an estimate of about 555,700 jobs.Solving Flight Delays in Nigeria
According to industry analysts and engineers, airports in Nigeria do not require new runways at the moment, infrastructure upgrades, should be accomplished through public-private partnerships via airport concessions.
The Government could be more proactive in taking action against airlines when they default on the regulations. The Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) could consider doing more periodic maintenance programs on airports and their systems.
The necessary regulatory bodies could ensure that flights are efficiently scheduled to minimise runway congestion. The Nigerian Meteorological Agency and Nigerian Airspace Management Agency could also work closer together to ensure that pilots are better briefed on weather conditions. Airlines could be obligated to inform passengers about flight delays by text message or phone call. | aerospace |

This, “fission surface power system”, is intended to serve as the propellant for what is being called NASA’s, “Artemis Programme”. The objective of this program being to expand beyond earthly capacity for development, and surpass this, starting with permanent bases on Mar’s and Luna respectively.
With embed infrastructure upon such planets and planetoids, NASA will be able to be able to extend operations upon these derelict locations, allowing for astronauts to spend there about, or in excess of two months at a time, living within a operational facility on the Moon. With bases propped up upon the either upon the surface, or embedded within the crust of alien rock, it is believed that such stations would be able to service as, “jumping-off points”, for future missions of space exploration, enabling us to move further and more effectively, as opposed to the land locked Earth-bound rocket propulsion missions of the 20th century.
Now, this may seem far-fetched, as this being the work of a volume of science fiction, but this is more down to Earth than you may come to think, at least upon first glance.
100 years ago, people of the world back then, may well have thought it was impossible to propel outwards into space, let alone walk upon the surface of the Moon. But advancement and human race’s uncanny ability to dream up such ideas in the works of science fiction and then eventually years later to see them realised in this exciting cycle of human ingenuity.
This has long been the ultimate aspiration of space agencies around the world, irrespective of nation, and offers very lucrative rewards throughout all of the excitement, including but not limited to mining the ore of foreign planetoids and harvesting their precious materials old and new.
The Rolls-Royce British aerospace company, has already unveiled plans for a nuclear-powered “Moon mining” operation. This prospects of this are very exciting indeed.
And if that wasn’t enough, NASA yesterday launched it’s DART rocket ship, with the intention to collide with a astride and divert its trajectory, as a test to see whether this is a viable solution should the plot line of the 90’s film Armageddon come to pass.
This is real, happening right now.
Presently, there are many challenges in the technology in creating a working nuclear propulsion system that would be able to function under some very extreme temperatures. 2,500 C and more, to be more specific.
So why Nuclear, why not alternate energy?
Renewable energy sources have of course been considered, but they have their limitations here on Earth, and onboard foreign worlds, these pro’s and con’s change dependent upon their environment significantly.
As far as the Moon is concerned, one single lunar night can last up to 14 days, making solar power largely redundant. Fission garnered nuclear energy on the other hand, is much more reliable and consistent to offer the power needed for space agency operations
“Fission surface power – in conjunction with solar cells, batteries, and fuel cells – can provide the power to operate rovers, conduct experiments, and use the Moon’s resources to produce water, propellant, and other supplies for life support,” NASA said.
And any viable proposal would have to adhere to the following specification;
- Reactors would need to fit inside a cylindrical container 4 meters wide and 6m long, and cannot be heavier than 6,000kg
- Cylinders must be transportable, to be taken from landing site to reactor location, whereof forty kilowatts of continuous power will be needed for up to ten years
- No reliance upon external power or robotic support, not astronaut involvement, system start-up, shutdown, operation, or maintenance
An apt challenge!
It’s interesting to think that Nuclear could well be at the heart of space travel for in the years that lie ahead, for the future generations!!!

His group has supplied seismometers that will enable the Nasa lander to detect “Marsquakes”, which should reveal the internal structure of the Red Planet. Over the course of the coming months, Prof Pike will be updating us on InSight’s progress.
This was surely the best way to see our mission leave Earth, standing in a field in California with 1,500 people from the InSight mission team.
We should be able to get a direct view of the launch pad eight miles away.
At 4 o’clock in the morning after the final go/no-go checkout was announced over the big screens, the final countdown began.
The act I had been desperate to see for the last decade was about to start. But an uninvited, and huge, member of the audience had moved right in front of all our views.
A massive bank of fog, building in the afternoon into what looked like a fresh mountain range, was rolling in from the Pacific.
From where we were staying we’d seen this thick grey mass emerging the previous evening. And now for the expectant audience in the field, we found our view of InSight at the Space Launch Complex 3 of Vandenberg Air Force Base completely blocked.
We were not going to see this launch.
As the clock ticked down, not even the launch crew were close enough to directly see the InSight rocket shrouded in thickening fog.
We only had the footage on the big screens in our field which showed the stack of thruster stages, with our spacecraft on top, lit like a Hollywood set.
As the countdown on the monitors reached zero, the rocket lifted slowly off the pad, its exhaust adding further to the murk as it cleared the tower.
In our field a thousand camera phones peered into the bank of fog in front of us, futilely trying to capture even the faintest glow from the Atlas V thrusters.
Then the rumble began as the sound rolled towards us, building to the crescendo of a giant blow-torch rising invisibly in the fog in front of us.
We might not see it, but we could certainly hear and feel the thrusters.
Phones were lowered and eyes turned away from the now useless screen footage from the rocket cams. The rest of the world was seeing our rocket leave Earth, but we were the ones feeling it.
I’d felt something rather like it before, nearly three years ago in Oxford, as we tested that our sensors would survive the vibrations of launch.
Most seismometers are too delicate to be moved, let alone launched in a rocket, unless the mass and spring mechanism that sense the vibrations of an earthquake are firmly secured to protect them from damage.
Our design is quite different. One of my Imperial College students, Dr Aifric Delahuntey, had written her thesis on how to protect our delicate silicon mechanism by using tiny buffers made of solder put into etched pockets to absorb the vibration and shock of launch.
We tested many sensors on the shake table at Oxford, not just at the vibration levels expected from our launch to Mars, but up to 10 times higher.
In our field in California while we were feeling the power of the launch eight miles away, our seismic sensors were shaking right on top the rocket. My heart jumped into my mouth as I realised just what our sensors must be experiencing at this moment.
Even after all the testing I could still scare myself.
The rumble faded as InSight continued its trajectory into a thinning atmosphere.
After the vibrations of launch, and the shock as the first-stage thruster separated, our sensors would be feeling something quite new.
InSight was now making one orbit of the Earth before turning towards Mars, and the sensors were having their first experience of weightlessness.
We had experienced InSight’s flawless launch; maybe not quite as we imagined it, but thanks to the fog more as our own sensors had felt it.
We made our way back to the buses to take us off the air force base before the Sun would try to break through the thickening fog.
Meanwhile, as they left Earth orbit with a final burn of the last thrusters, our seismic sensors had a longer trip ahead.
Tom will have another update when InSight’s instruments are switched on for a check-out on the cruise to Mars. | aerospace |

A while back, drones made headlines – as non-piloted aircraft that targeted unwary people and pommelled them with bombs. In other words, the public was introduced to “drones” as a weapon. Can drones do this? Yes, clearly they can. But what your average Jane or Joe didn’t know was that they can do so much more: things that vastly help out all of humanity, rather than take away lives.
So what is a drone? Drones are a simple form of aircraft that lift off and navigate using propellers – usually four – mounted to a small central frame. Unlike most forms of aircraft, they are small and light enough that they don’t need a runway to build up speed for a liftoff. They can take off from anywhere. Also, they don’t need a pilot on board to fly them. Drones are operated remotely, either by humans with distant controls, or by AI.
If the advantages of such systems aren’t immediately obvious, let’s go over them! Take a complex system of transporting goods, like the postal service. In the post, every parcel has a goal (a destination). Rather than drive/ship/fly everything to its destination (because that wouldn’t be efficient at all!) every package is brought into regional centres, which sort them by destination. Then, packages with nearby destinations are sent together to another regional hub. From which they are sorted again and sent to their particular addresses.
Which, at the end of it all, is a lot of extra sorting and handling! Hence, enter the drone. What drones offer is a way – at least for local deliveries – to completely cut out that middle stage. Rather than drive every parcel to some regional centre, only to sort them and send some of them back to the same neighbourhood, drones can instantly calculate how far it is, and whether it’s even worthwhile to bring it to the centre at all. If it isn’t, the drone can carry it straight to the destination. If it’s far enough that it’s still worth putting it on a ship or a train, the drone can carry it to the regional hub – reducing traffic on the road.
And this isn’t sci-fi! Huge companies, like Amazon, are already investing a lot of money into doing this.1 And Amazon’s drone delivery fleet is set to launch soon! Thanks to advances in AI and machine learning, delivery drones can detect obstacles and avoid them. The world of the postman may well be coming to an end, to make way for the post-drone!
In short, drones are far more than weapons or aerial cameras to spy on your neighbours. They have a huge future that – coupled with AI – is just about ready to burst out onto the scene! | aerospace |

All modern technological conveniences have roots somewhere in the past, whether stemming from great need, from a military conflict, or simply by happy accident.
The discovery of life-saving penicillin was a laboratory accident.
Microwave ovens emerged from post-World-War-II military radar technology the first microwave model was called the 'Radarange' for a reason. In some cases, that useful gadget in your home is a true space-age miracle. Early light-sensitive detectors and meters made use of this phenomenon.
But photoelectric technology didn't become advanced enough to produce useful quantities of electrical power until the space age, when the need to power orbital satellites and space probes challenged engineers to action. Solar cells were first used in space on the United States' Vanguard spacecraft in to extend the life of the battery-powered satellite. In , the Explorer 6 satellite was launched, carrying large wing-like arrays of solar panels that enabled it to operate for months.
Space exploration: France is continuing onwards and upwards
Today, solar panels are found everywhere, from giant collector arrays on building rooftops to small panels or cells powering all manner of gadgets. Aerogel, first invented in , is created by removing the liquid components from a gel and leaving behind the thin skeleton of its solid structure. The extremely sparse material is a very poor conductor of heat, making it perfect as a lightweight thermal insulator.
NASA employed the insulators developed from aerogel in the heat shields of spacecraft and also the swaddling layers of its astronauts' spacesuits. Professional explorers and serious wilderness enthusiasts on Earth have benefited from commercial spinoffs of these insulators, in the form of glove liners, boot insoles, and even lightweight insulated jackets. One climber who summited Mount Everest with a pair of " Toasty Feet " insoles inside her boots reported that her feet remained warm and comfortable throughout her climb, despite wearing only a single pair of socks.
Outline of space technology
The multi-layer, aluminized-mylar material was created to address the need for lightweight and compactly stored thermal insulation to protect astronauts from temperature extremes in space. The scratch resistant coating you may have on your sunglasses, eyeglasses, or ski mask also stems from the development of spacesuit materials. In the s NASA'S Ames Research Center came up with a material to prevent astronauts' spacesuit helmet visors from becoming scratched — a serious consideration during space walks and other maneuvers where clear vision is essential, and scratch-covered lenses and visors cannot be readily replaced.
If you have marveled at the detailed, rich, and colorful pictures that tiny little camera on your smart phone takes — or are just glad to have such a small and portable camera with you at all times — you can thank NASA.
CMOS stands for "complementary metal-oxide semiconductor," a solid-state technology previously developed for use in microprocessors and other computer applications. This space-camera innovation later spun off a family of smaller, cheaper imaging chips for a range of commercial applications, including smart phones, sport cams, web cams, compact digital and DSLR cameras.
The fatal Apollo 1 training drill fire that killed three astronauts in pressed NASA engineers to rethink the use of combustible materials in spacesuits and other furnishings on board their spacecraft. This innovation bestowed fire protection not only upon Apollo astronauts of later missions, it also protects post-Apollo astronauts to this day.
The technology quickly branched out into other government and commercial applications, from the outer fire-resistant shells of firefighter gear, to sporting applications such as clothing worn by race car drivers, to uniforms and protective clothing for workers in industrial settings. Then, time to cook.

You may appreciate how the vacuum-packaging keeps your food shelf-safe for months or even years without refrigeration, but did you know that the technique was developed for use in space by astronauts? NASA developed a process for freeze-drying and vacuum-packaging food for astronauts in space as early as Gemini missions. It has been used to supply or supplement the food of all human space missions since.
Bacterial contamination and growth is prevented by the hermetic seal and the low-pressure and -oxygen environment inside. Vacuum-sealing also reduces the volume of the package, making for more compact storage.
Out of this space innovation came improvements to the preparation of commercially supplied food on Earth. In partnership with the Honeywell Corporation, NASA improved smoke detector technology in the s, creating a unit with adjustable sensitivity to avoid constant false alarms. During long space missions where every ounce of weight and inch of space aboard a shuttle must be maximized, freeze-dried foods have become a staple.
Freeze-dried foods are incredibly light, and they retain their nutritional value. Once reconstituted, they are also easier and more pleasant to eat than former meal sources that were packed into squeeze tubes. In the s, NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory invented a light, miniature imaging system that required little energy in order to take high quality photographs from space.
This technology has become standard in cell phone and computer cameras. A nutritious, algae-based vegetable oil invented by NASA scientists who were searching for a recycling agent to use during long space missions is now an additive in many infant formulas. It contains two essential fatty acids that cannot be synthesized by the human body.
Thanks for signing up to the newsletter.
The pyrotechnic mechanism used to detach a space shuttle from its rocket boosters after launch is the same used in Lifeshears, but in a smaller scale. Lifeshears are a tool that can be used in emergency situations to cut into cars or collapsed buildings to rescue people trapped inside.
The requirements for landing space shuttles led NASA scientists to do extensive research on minimizing hydroplaning — when vehicles slide uncontrollably on a wet surface — on runways. They discovered that cutting grooves into runways helps channel water away from the runway and significantly reduces accidents. Many highways and airports now have grooved pavement. In the sealed, artificial environment of a spacecraft, attempts to grow plants have led to ethylene buildup. NASA invented an air purifier for the International Space Station that is now used widely on Earth — everywhere from restaurants, to hospitals, to refrigerators — to remove ethylene, which hastens decay, as well as other particulates and pathogens.
Memory foam was originally invented as a pad for astronaut seats that would mold to their bodies during the high forces of takeoff and landing, then return to a neutral state. This eliminated the need to customize seats to individual astronauts' body sizes. Because prolonged exposure to zero-gravity leads to bone loss and muscle atrophy, NASA created workout machines to enable astronauts to maintain physical fitness while in space. NASA began experimenting with insulation technology for the Apollo space crafts and suits, leading to the invention of common construction insulation.
The 10 biggest developments in space exploration in the past year
Infrared ear thermometers, which allow for instant temperature capture without the risk of picking up pathogens and causing cross-infection, utilize the same technology developed for assessing the temperature of distant planets. Ice is a real threat for shuttles in space, and NASA has devised multiple electronic solutions to prevent ice formation on spacecrafts, some of which are now used on commercial aircraft. The first portable computer, the Grid Compass, was used on multiple shuttle missions in the s. | aerospace |

SPRINGFIELD, Mo. (KY3) - It happened again. Another loud sonic boom hit the Ozarks.
Callers to the KY3 newsroom say they felt this one around midday. The general area where it was felt included Greene, Polk, Webster and Laclede Counties.
KY3 asked Boeing in St. Louis if it was them. It was. They released this statement to KY3 News:
“On a mission authorized by the United States Government in support of a customer contract, a Boeing crew in a training flight operated a 90 second test of an F-15 at that time.”
These test flights have become normal in the Ozarks.

Unless of course, the “measurements” were really just a massive laser etching coverup.
I think it’s amazing to think that those pieces of American history are still up there, waiting for us to return and build a museum for them in the first lunar colony.
If you’re interested in more about debunking moon landing hoaxers, I hosted an event to celebrate the 45th anniversary of the moon landings with a presentation by Marlowe Cassetti. During the Apollo Program he was Chief of the Guidance and Performance Branch at NASA Manned Spacecraft Center in Houston, TX. After 2 minute of intro clips, he explains the many mysteries Apollo astronauts and engineers faced on the way to the moon.
So Bruce, if the moon landings are a hoax, where did the astronauts go after liftoff?
Easy, they were never in the rocket.
And how do you explain scientists bouncing a laser off the lunar lander?
Part of the coverup.
Then how can lunar mapping satellites see footprints on the moon.
There were etched there by the lasers! | aerospace |

All launches are coordinated world-wide, so that the balloons everywhere in the world reach an altitude corresponding to 100hPa of atmospheric pressure at 12:00 noon UTC. This requires each station to launch the balloon at different time (in case of Halley it’s around 10:45 UTC). The balloons have a radiosonde attached, which measures temperature, pressure, humidity and wind direction and speed (the latter two using an onboard GPS receiver). All data is transmitted in real-time every second to the station for processing. | aerospace |

Klíčová slova:emise skleníkových plynů, CO₂ ekvivalent, posuzování životního cyklu (LCA), letecká doprava
This article summarizes the life cycle assessment (LCA), which allows measuring the contribution to climate change of commonly used aircraft Boeing 777-200. Assessment involves three main phases of the lifecycle of aircraft, consisting of the system boundaries: manufacture of aircraft, aircraft maintenance, and aircraft operation. Each stage of the analysis is conducted in terms of greenhouse gas emissions measured in kg per passenger and kilometer (functional unit of LCA). The results provide valuable support when deciding on measures to be implemented in lifecycle phases of aircraft, where there are more opportunities for climate change mitigation. The results show that the most significant contribution in terms of CO2 eq. per passenger and kilometer comes from the operation of the aircraft, allowing airlines to implement technical, organizational, operational, and other measures. | aerospace |

In the 1980s, nonetheless, the restriction of use of this technology by military just was removed which was made available for civilian use worldwide. The massive success of GPS in the army field, goaded development of the global positioning system technology in civilian applications with new developments in satellite navigation and GPS tracking unit systems.
How can GPS Tracking Systems Work?
GPS will be utilized anywhere on earth, on land, at sea or in air. A minimum of twenty four active GPS satellites orbit the earth every twelve hours. Radio signals which help in choosing the spot, speed and direction of travel of consumers having GPS receivers are transmitted by each satellite. The full world is insured through the constellation of GPS satellites, a convenient configuration facilitated by four satellites positioned in each of the six orbital planes.
Accuracy of GPS Tracking Device
Recommended–> : Plug in GPS Tracker
Accuracy of GPS technology is dependent upon the strength of signals that journey from GPS satellites on the GPS receiver. Accuracy is better when there’s minimum barrier between the sky and the receiver. In case you’re doing a gizmo that receives a GPS signal, a fantastic practice is turning it on in a wide open area and stay there for a small number of minutes prior to the gadget receives the hang of the satellite signal. It will take more or less 60 80 milliseconds for a signal to travel from a GPS satellite to a GPS receiver.
The numerous applications of GPS
GPS is an extensive leap forward for mankind in regards to technology invention since time the caveman initially relied of footprints to track either animal or human movements. Today GPS technology is packed into as small a gadget as a cellular phone or even is running on an automobile like a small widget. This literally implies scores of individuals are competent to make use of the GPS technology in their day-to-day life.
It is going to be interesting to are aware of the myriad facets of applications whereby GPS Tracking solutions are used.
* Aviation: GPS Tracking Device Systems are definitely the lifeline for aircraft pilots. GPS tracking software helps pilots for en route navigation and for airport approaches.
* Fleet tracking: GPS Fleet Tracking can help with automated vehicle location and in-vehicle navigation systems.
* Environment – GPS is a great help during natural disasters. GPS assists survey disaster areas by mapping the movement of green phenomena as forest fires, storms and oil spills.
* Rail: GPS Tracking Device Systems are a key player in getting trains, protecting against collisions, maintaining smooth rail movements, and in minimizing delays.
* Surveying: In traditional surveying, locating a highly accurate point of reference is incredibly precious time consuming. Almost all that’s history now. GPS Technology has these days made it very easy to not only do simple tasks such as defining property lines but also perform complex tasks like building infrastructures in thickly populated urban areas.
The above comprise only a tiny list of uses of GPS Tracking Device Systems. GPS has today made inroads into agriculture, public safety, marine and recreation. It will not be surprising when several years down the line GPS Tracking Device Systems will be commonplace while among mundane folks in developing countries. | aerospace |

Well, I'm not a rocket scientist by any means, but I'm definitely a rocket science enthusiast. Building high power rockets, flight and recovery, and rocket videography are aspects I enjoy the most. Rocketry has many peripheral fields of interest that make it a really enjoyable and lasting hobby.
I've been interested in this hobby, to one degree or another, since I was kid. (Yep, back in olden times when men first landed on the moon). I grew up in the Sacramento area near Aerojet. Model rocketry was quite popular in the early 70's.
I guess I didn't fully appreciate how monumental it was that humans reached out with hard work and technology to land the Lunar Module and other equipment on the surface of the moon. That a man took a small step that was a giant leap for Mankind. I just thought model rockets were cool and liked building them. I couldn't wait for the next Estes or Centuri model rocketry catalog to show up in the mailbox.
Nowadays, I still enjoy building and flying rockets. I don't get to indulge in my hobbies as much as I'd like. There always seems to be a time or money issue that slows things down. I still manage to get some part of a project done a little bit at a time.
Organizations like Tripoli Rocketry Association, the National Association of Rocketry, AERO-Pac and others; provide self-regulation, education and the means to organize the safe environment needed to properly conduct launches. I'm thankful for all the folks out there who organize the launches and events. Thanks also to the developers; the real rocket scientists, and the vendors that make it possible to enjoy rocketry to the fullest. And a special thanks to the professional leadership of our organizations that deal with the legal challenges and other issues.
The flight of a rocket is at once the symbolic, and the realized, natural human quest to reach out and expand life's ultimate endeavor: To survive. Space habitation and the means to get us there will ensure that grand endeavor! I think amateur rocketry and private enterprise will play a key part in our emergence into the infinite frontier! | aerospace |

For the United States Air Force It Is ALL About Air Superiority...Every American Should Take Their Family To An Air Show
IT WAS ALL ABOUT THE USA AND WHAT KEEPS US FREE
ALL EYES WERE FACING THE FLY OVERS AT MT. HOME (IDAHO) AIR FORCE BASE THIS WEEKEND. HERE I AM WITH GRAND-DAUGHTER, SADIE (3).
When the first set of F-15s flew by my eyes teared with pride as the thundering sound of freedom boomed by the stands. It was an awesome experience!
THIS F-22 "RAPTOR" WAS DOWN FROM ELMENDORF A.F.B.(ALASKA) WHERE THE MASTHEAD PHOTO WAS TAKEN. THE RAPTOR IS BASED IN ALASKA BECAUSE THAT IS THE PLACE THAT IS SHORTEST DISTANCE TO ANY OF TODAY'S POTENTIAL AREAS OF CONFLICT
This weekend was the much-anticipated two-day airshow at Mountain Home Air Force Base (Idaho). The base is home to the 366th Fighter Wing and my son, Captain John Roach.
"The 366th flies two types of F-15s, the single-seat C model and the two-seat E model. (The "F" in the name of the airplane model...is for FIGHTER.)
The F-15C "Eagle" has an air superiority mission and is the most lethal airplane in the world excepting only our new F-22 "Raptor" (which is absolutely untouchable).
The F-15E "Strike Eagle" is a multi-role jet that has a weapons systems operator (WSO) in the back seat that handles the targeting of ground targets. The C model is purely air-to-air and is lighter and a bit more maneuverable. The E model has longer range and carries mostly bombs, but it can fight its way in to targets and back out with missiles."
Thank you, John, for this level of detail. You were a great guide at the show.
The air show started with the Air Force Academy parachute team jumping out of a C-17. The National anthem played as a giant flag unfurled from the lead parachutist's leg.
There was a battle demonstration and real firepower laid waste to the desert near the airstrip. A rescue mission with air cover was demonstrated.
There were many displays and all branches of the service were represented: Bradly All Terrain Vehicles, unmanned drone missiles, older planes from previous eras, etc.
For air buffs, we saw:
C-130, F-15 (flying by), P-51, barnstormer, biplane, F-16, F-15s, C-17, C-130, KC-135, KC-10 (KC = refueler), F-22 (didn't fly), T-6, T-38 (T = trainer)Navy: EA-6B, F-18 Hornet, Super Hornet (Blue Angel type)
McCord A.F.B. had a great show this year. Watch your calendars for the next season. Don't miss the opportunity! | aerospace |

“What a great mission. We enjoyed it… We’re glad that the International Space Station is stocked up,”commander Alan Poindexter said.
The Discovery returned from a 15-day mission that included 7-tons of equipment along with it to the International Space Center.
The crew has been set to land on Monday but rain and very cloudy skies hindered them from doing so. Their homecoming was almost spoiled driving them to abort the landing attempt.But then when the clouds broke on a Tuesday morning, Discovery had the chance begin an hour long plunge that dropped its speed from 17,500 mph to 225 mph at touchdown on KSC’s runway 33.
The shuttle left across the America on its trip back to the Cape. It entered the continent near Vancouver, then flew over southeast across northeast Washington, Montana, central Wyoming, northeast Colorado, southwest Kansas and Oklahoma. It passed north of Little Rock, Ark.; over Oxford, Miss; near Montgomery, Ala.; south of Columbus, Ga. and, finally, over Florida east of Gainesville.
The crew,which marked the first time four women have been space in one time included pilot Jim Dutton and mission specialists Rick Mastracchio, Clay Anderson, Dottie Metcalf-Lindenburger, Stephanie Wilson and Naoko Yamazaki.
There are only three remaining shuttle flights before the space shuttle fleet’s retirement.Follow us on Twitter to get free up-to-date news via tweets from the World Correspondents, or you can subscribe to us by entering your e-mail below.

Originally built in Dayton Ohio, at 1127 West Third Street, the Wright Cycle Company stood on a commercial street while the Wright Brothers home was situation in a residential neighborhood four blocks from the shop. Today they stand next to each other in Greenfield Village.
Orville and Wilbur Wright were originally in the bicycle business which provided the necessary income to pay for the Brothers experiments regarding flight. Milton Wright, their father, had no problem with the boys spending their money on whatever they liked -- that is, as long as they earned the money themselves.
While living and working in the cycle shop, in 1903 Orville and Wilbur, who were self-trained in the science and art of aviation, constructed the worlds first successful, powered heavier-than-air flying machine capable of free, controlled, and sustained flight in the workroom at the back of this shop. The Wright Brothers continued to perfect their invention during 1904 and 1905 in their hometown of Dayton. Income from the sale and repair of bicycles helped support their aviation experiments between 1900 and 1907.
On December 17, 1903, in Kitty Hawk, North Carolina, they launched the Flyer for the worlds
first manned, heavier-than-air powered flight. Their bicycle shop may truly be called the
birthplace of aviation. Wilbur and Orville made significant contributions to human history.

Ajay R. Singh, Advocate
Hope my writing finds you all in good health.
While writing the editorial, I noticed the latest news on Chandrayaan 3 which said that the second orbit raising manoeuvre has been launched successfully. By the time this journal reaches to you, I am sure that the Chandrayaan 3 will be surfing in the advance stage of reaching its destination. A successful mission will lead to India entering into an elite club of nations along with USA, China and Russia.
It will be a great milestone achieved by the scientists involved in the mission. This mission has the potential to attract and retain the talent in our country while boosting India’s private space sector. As Chandrayaan 3 embarks on its mission to explore the lunar surface, it holds the promise of not only contributing to the scientific community but also inspiring future generations to reach for the stars.
Chandrayaan 3 represents India’s continued commitment to space exploration and scientific advancement. The history of space programmes in India will reveal how a vision to harness and develop space technology and national development was founded with minimum resources and today it has successfully become a reality.
This inspires us to keep believing in ourselves and working towards our goals and dreams. As rightly said by Eleanor Roosevelt, “The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams.”
This monthly journal ’Companion’ is digest of various judgements. I give my thanks to the compilors and the editorial team for their time and contribution towards bringing out this journal.

We would sit outside of our house and he would look for aircraft as they started their approach to the San Antonio airport and point toward the sky every time he spotted one.
He had his first flight suit at 2, which he quickly grew out of, and his second at 5 which he wore today on his first private airplane ride.
A guy I work with is a former Marine Corps Harrier pilot and he offered to take Jude up for a ride. Can you really have your kids in better hands than with a Marine Aviator?
Here is the flight crew: Pilot Mike B., co-pilot Jude, and the crew chief, Indigo:
Mike showed Jude how to do the entire preflight inspection, including the fuel check. He took his job quite seriously. This was at the Fredericksburg airport where we landed after our first leg.
Here is how the rest of the morning went.
Jude checking in with his passengers:
Approach on the way back to Boerne Stage Field north of San Antonio:
The crew chief (Indigo) and I sat in the back. Based on her expression, flight school is not in her future.
Post flight lunch:
I have never seen Jude so excited to do anything in his life. He popped out of bed this morning at zero-dark-thirty and said, "Dad, I'm just so excited to fly today I wanted to get up early. I had a dream that my flight suit was too big!"
He was confident, listened to Mike's instructions to the letter and finally got to realize his dream. I'm proud to be his dad. I love you buddy! Mike, thanks a million. You really can't imagine how special this was for him. | aerospace |

Well, you don’t have to wonder anymore as someone has done it.
Having an extreme sport such as downhill mountain biking where there is a lot of weaving between tree’s, jumps and constant crash hazards seemed like the last place for a drone. But thanks to a few crazy souls who were happy to brave the potential destruction of their drone we now have proof that it is possible.
And let's just say, the angle is amazing. Click To Tweet
Using a small Lux v2 racing quadcopter drone you get the first person view of chasing after a mountain biker at high speed. The biker performs some jumps which with the addition of slow motion makes the video really outstanding.
At one point the drone does hit the dirt but doesn’t seemed fazed at all from the bump and continues the chase.
All credit definitely goes to the drone pilot in this one as just the thought of having to keep up with the biker makes me quite nervous. Especially considering that I have already lost a drone and crashed it multiple times.
So I guess the question is, if people are now able to fly drone’s in such confined spaces, what will the future of drone footage look like taking into account future technology advancements.
All I can think of is that we are definitely coming into an age where everyone will be able to take breathtaking footage no matter where they are. That actually has me pumped.
If you are a drone pilot and have similar footage we would be super excited to check it out. You can leave a message in the comments below and while you’re there don’t forget to like mendooutdoors on facebook and share this article. | aerospace |

Nasa’s newly reactivated asteroid hunting space telescope has spotted its first potentially hazardous space rock.
The new asteroid is the first discovery by the Near-Earth Object Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (NEOWISE) since the spacecraft came out of hibernation last year.
The rock, named 2013 YP139, is approximately 27 million miles away from Earth and is estimated to be 0.4 miles in diameter. It’s infrared signature suggests the asteroid is extremely dark, like a piece of coal.
It has also been classified as a potentially hazardous near Earth object as its orbit suggests it could pose a risk. Nasa believes that the impact of an asteroid any larger than half a mile in diameter could have “worldwide effects”.
The Chelyabinsk meteor which entered Earth’s atmosphere over Russia last year and injured 1,500 people was only 55-65 feet in size.
The 2013 YP139 circles the sun in an elliptical orbit that is tilted to the plane of our solar system.
It is possible that its orbit will bring it as close as 300,000 miles from Earth, slightly more than the distance to the moon.
NEOWISE’s role is to assist NASA’s efforts to identify potentially hazardous near-Earth objects (NEOs).
The spacecraft will also help in characterising previously detected asteroids that may now be considered potential targets for future exploration missions.
During its primary mission, which was to scan the entire sky in infrared light, the spacecraft discovered more than 34,000 asteroids in 2010 and early 2011.
It was then placed into hibernation for 31 months after it had completed its primary mission.
Last year it was reactivated to search specifically for near Earth objects.
Some of the objects about which NEOWISE will be collecting data could become candidates for Nasa’s asteroid initiative, which will be the first mission to identify, capture and relocate an asteroid for astronauts to explore.
Nasa hopes that it will help protect Earth and help achieve their goal of sending humans to an asteroid by 2025.
The observations made by NEOWISE will be sent to the clearing house for solar system bodies to determine the orbit of each asteroid and comet if the object is not known.

Half an hour later we were off, heading south for the National Space Centre in Leicester. Cosmonaut Segal led the mission into the space centre, weaving our way past crocodiles of schoolchildren who had not yet broken up for Easter. The cosmonaut negotiated free entry into a film heading across the cosmos at 13.50 hours, but before that, we were free to wander and learn. First of all, though, came the distribution of crisps and other space rations for the space cadets. We discovered that weightlessness had its drawbacks and was not necessarily good for us before entering a simulator which bumped us on a journey to one of Saturn's moons Astronaut Squires had a rough ride at times as she led the mission from the front.
We found ourselves next to American, Russian, European and even British rockets as we pushed further into the centre. Displays from the early days of space exploration were everywhere with pictures of Yuri Gagarin, Valentina Tereshkova, Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin looking down at us.
Some of us are old enough to remember the space race in the Sixties, but space cadets were introduced to a timeline showing events like the birth of J.K. Rowling which were happening on Earth at the same time. Several members of the mission used the space centre's facilities to record a weather forecast for the nation using satellite technology. The cadets were introduced to the first Doctor Who, a spin-off of time and space.
From time to time the astronauts would meet for a pit stop in the Soyuz Lounge for more space rations eaten under the watchful eye of Cosmonaut Segal. We witnessed the death of stars and wondered at the size of our own star the sun before visiting a variety of planets and even saw some moon rock before gathering outside the Sir Patrick Moore Planetarium for an out of this world film experience where we rose and fell as we travelled across the universe to ever further destinations in deep space.
1700 hours found us landing in Stainforth and docking in the library with extra-terrestrial travel firmly under our belts, and our horizons widened immensely. Speculation was rife on the voyage home as to which cadet would be first on the next journey into space. | aerospace |

Research by the University of Greenwich has explained for the first time why 55 people lost their lives when fire swept through British Airtours flight 28M.
Professor Ed Galea, Group Director, says: "Our analysis has significant implications for aviation safety today. We found the number of fatalities could have been reduced by 87 per cent had the forward right exit not malfunctioned, and by 36 per cent had the right over-wing exit been opened without delay."
The group coupled fire and evacuation computer simulations to reconstruct what happened from the moment engine failure damaged fuel lines and a fuel tank, resulting in a large external fire. Pilots aborted take-off and came off the runway at Manchester Airport, unfortunately turning the aircraft into the wind which allowed smoke and flames to engulf it.
Professor Galea, who began his career in fire safety engineering in 1985 researching the same incident, has developed world-leading modelling software in both fire dynamics and human behaviour in evacuation scenarios with his team at FSEG. Thirty years on, he has been able to couple the two and solve the mysteries surrounding the fire.
He says: "This was a pivotal incident that changed the course of aviation safety around the world. It was instrumental in improving aircraft evacuation procedures, cabin layout, cabin interior materials and aircraft operations. But no-one knew how significant the delays in opening the doors were, how wind speed and direction affected the fire, or what the potential benefit offered by modern cabin materials would have been."
A key finding of the report is that a cabin crew member must be available at each floor-level exit who can open it within seconds. In the Manchester Airport incident, there was effectively only one crew member available to open both front doors, one of which had malfunctioned. A second crew member, also located in the forward position beside the exits, was engaged in holding back the passengers allowing her colleague to eventually open both exits.
In the event it took 25 seconds to open one and 70 seconds to open the second, much longer than the normal time in aviation industry evacuation certification trials of under ten seconds.
The peer-reviewed journal paper also says it is essential that passengers seated by the manually-operated overwing exits know how to open them. In the Manchester incident the passenger next to the wing door struggled to get it open; eventually another passenger leaned over and opened it after 45 seconds. In industry standard certification trials, these exits are normally opened by passengers within 12 seconds.
The FSEG simulations demonstrated that these few seconds' delay in opening the three viable exits directly resulted in the large loss of life. Had the exits opened in the time achieved in certification trials it is likely that all the passengers would have been able to safely evacuate.
Professor Galea says: "The Manchester incident demonstrates that during an aircraft fire, literally every second can make the difference between life and death. This is why it is essential to have well trained cabin crew at each exit, why passengers seated beside overwing exits must be capable of opening them in seconds, and why passengers should not waste time retrieving luggage from overhead bins during an emergency evacuation."
The FSEG simulations also demonstrated that it would only take a relatively light wind of 1.5 m/s (metres per second) to cause the external fire plume to lean onto the fuselage as it did that day, with the capability to burn through the fuselages.
On the day of the incident, the wind speed, while low at around 3.0 m/s, was much greater than the critical wind speed. The report says the position of the aircraft in relation to wind direction is critically important: "Aircrew should be advised to position the aircraft most beneficially against the wind in the event of a ground fire."
In the Manchester incident, fire burned through the fuselage in about 75 seconds. Simulations show that a delay of only a further 50 seconds could, potentially, have allowed all the passengers to escape. In 1985, the insulation materials typically used inside the cabin's aluminium skin had a "burn-through resistance" of around 52-96 seconds.
New generation insulation materials have a significantly improved resistance with burn-through times of between four and eight minutes. The research shows that the use of such insulation would have saved the Manchester victims.
The paper describes how FSEG has developed two key pieces of software: SMARTFIRE, which uses advanced CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) fire simulation with pool fire and combustion models, and airEXODUS, an advanced evacuation simulation tool. It was the coupling of these two programmes which enabled the analysis of the Manchester Airport fire.

The first generation regional airport system plan was adopted by SEWRPC in 1976. A second generation plan was initially adopted in 1987 and comprehensively amended in 1996. That plan is found in SEWRPC Planning Report No. 38, A Regional Airport System Plan for Southeastern Wisconsin: 2010, 2nd Edition, November 1996.
The plan recommends that a system of 11 public-use airports be maintained to meet the commercial, business, personal, and military aviation needs of the Region. These 11 airports are General Mitchell International Airport, John H. Batten Field, Kenosha Regional Airport, Waukesha County-Crites Field, West Bend Municipal Airport, East Troy Municipal Airport, Hartford Municipal Airport, Lawrence, J. Timmerman Airport, Burlington Municipal Airport, Capitol Airport, and Sylvania Airport. All 11 of these airports are well established, are currently open for use by the general public, and accommodate significant numbers of aircraft operations. Eight of these 11 airports are publicly owned. The remaining three airports in the system, Capitol Airport, John H. Batten Field, and Sylvania Airport, are privately owned. The plan recommends that public action be taken to acquire these three privately owned airports only if and when their operation as public-use airports is proposed to be discontinued. The plan recognizes that other privately owned public-use airports in addition to these 11 essential airports may continue to operate within the Region, and thus serve portions of the regional aviation demand. The plan neither recommends the closure of any of these additional airports nor relies upon their continued existence. Forecast trends in airport activity within southeastern Wisconsin were updated to the year 2030 and are documented in SEWRPC Memorandum Report 133, Review and Update of Regional Airport System Plan Forecasts, August 2004.
SEWRPC activities in aviation planning are limited at the present time to monitoring trends in the level of aviation activity in the Region. | aerospace |

Article 20 of the Chicago Convention on International Civil Aviation requires that all signatory countries register aircraft over a certain weight with a national aviation authority. British Civil Aircraft Registers 1919-1978. The registration often denotes the aircraft type and maker. Due to the large numbers of aircraft registered in the United States an alpha-numeric system is used. All aircraft registered there have a number starting with N.
The next time when you leave Johannesburg after your visit to South Africa, just take a moment to think about the fuel on-board the plane you are taking. Archived from on 2 January 2011. The first batch of this new type of fuel which contains up to 50% of synthetic fuel mixed with conventional crude oil was approved on 22 February 1999 and is in use at Oliver Tambo Airport from that time. Others like the Airbus A300 and Concord followed. The world had change a lot politically around 1991 with the downfall of communism. An alphanumeric system is used because of the large numbers of aircraft registered in the United States. These registration numbers are painted on the back of aircraft near the tail in the same area where you will usually found the manufacturer's name and model if it is a large commercial jet and therefore this code is sometimes referred to in the aviation industry as a tail number.
But what if it belongs to one of the many private airlines or is owned privately? Therefore, it is registered in South-Africa. On 19 April 1952 this golden runway greeted a very special guest to South Africa when a prototype of the world's first commercial passenger jet aircraft, the de Havilland Comet touched down on it. So there you have it! This flight was a result of 14 years of research by South African-based company Sasol and the main ingredient of this fuel was coal. In this article, we will go… Have you ever wondered how different countries handle flights, aircraft re-registration, and other regulations? This additional letter is not actually part of the aircraft identification e. Smaller countries had to share a single letter prefix, but were allocated exclusive use of the first letter of the suffix.
Therefore, I have also listed this index the other way around. Leicester, England: Midland Counties Publications. Tail or n-numbers form part of an interesting international aircraft registration system. The city has a long history of gold mining since the 1880's. Depending on the country of registration, this suffix is a numeric or alphanumeric code and consists of one to five digits or characters respectively. In some instances, it may be sufficient to simply display the suffix letters, with the country prefix omitted. When this happens it is usually the case that aircraft will be re-registered into the new series retaining as much of the suffix as is possible.
Actions like aircraft reregistration or plane change of address are taxed, but there are several distinct qualities for all types of aviation taxes. The agreement stipulated that the nationality marks were to be followed by a hyphen then a group of four letters that must include a vowel and for the convention Y was considered to be a vowel. This yields a total of 915,399 possible registration numbers in the , though certain combinations are reserved either for government use or for other special purposes. Also, after initial contact is made with an aircraft control site, only the last two or three characters are typically used. Sasol has a 60-year history in the development of synthetic fuels. This is because these aircraft are taxed more then locally produced ones, when it is registered in the Russian Federation. Depending on the country of registration, this suffix is a numeric or alphanumeric code, and consists of one to five characters.
In the United States, the prefix and suffix are painted without a dash. It was also visited a few years back by a prototype Airbus A380. You need to register free to use the database. Each alphabetic character in the suffix can have one of 24 discrete values, while each numeric digit can be one of 10, except the first, which can take on only nine values. Aircraft are also a form of property, so they fall under the property tax. Did you ever stand on an airport and wonder from which countries all the planes came? Article 20 of the Convention on International Civil Aviation Chicago Convention , signed in 1944, requires that all aircraft engaged in international air navigation bears its appropriate nationality and registration marks.
Earl Shilton: Midland Counties Publications. The comp number or the trigraph is usually the most visible marking on a British glider. I am busy to investigate this claim, and will update this website about aircraft registration codes if it seems to be true. This yields a total of 915,399 possible registration numbers in the name-space, though certain combinations are reserved either for government use or for other special purposes. This yields a total of 915,399 possible registration numbers in the name-space, though certain combinations are reserved either for government use or for other special purposes. The principle of registering and externally marking aircraft had been agreed upon in 1910 at an international convention in Paris and a draft Air Navigation Order had been prepared in 1911, but was not put into force before the. You might say that you have some money in your piggy-bank and that you want to buy an aircraft.
Aircraft which were build before this time and which are still in service in the areas of the world that had gone though these changes received differed registration numbers which now begin with the prefix of the new country. Annex 7 to the Convention on International Civil Aviation describes the definitions, location, and measurement of nationality and registration marks. The Isle of Man is not a entity in international law. This can be because the aircraft changes ownership, of registration, or in some cases for vanity reasons. This additional letter is not actually part of the aircraft identification e. New countries were born while others were no more. | aerospace |

And ever since the start of the pandemic, the industry has seen an even greater need for quick adaptations.
From changes in consumer habits to fluctuating fuel prices, the aerospace industry faces many challenges on a regular basis.
In this blog post, we’ll explore the exciting world of aerospace manufacturing, and how this industry is keeping pace with changing times by having and pushing for innovation, and rising with the demand of creativity and resiliency.
The Fast-Paced and Ever-Changing Aerospace Industry
For those interested in a fast-paced and always challenging career, aerospace manufacturing is an excellent choice. This industry prides itself on the development of highly advanced technologies made to withstand the demands of space travel.
An aerospace manufacturer might design and build anything from fighter jets to spacecraft, using advanced materials and cutting-edge manufacturing processes. With the growing interest in space tourism, we are already seeing how the aerospace industry is expanding and adapting to a new market.
The challenge with the aerospace industry, though, is that it is highly cyclical, with boom and bust periods presenting unique challenges in terms of demand. That said, it is a rewarding field to be in, as the ever-changing and high stakes environment keeps many people engaged and motivated.
As the Reuters article cited earlier explains, airlines in the US have already been forced to change the way they think about consumer habits to keep up with demand post-pandemic. “We had a lot of stability pre-pandemic,” Delta President Glen Hauenstein said. “We’re adjusting here into what I would call a new normal.”
In conclusion, the aerospace industry has always been an exciting and dynamic field. It requires innovation, creativity, and resiliency, given the ever-changing nature of the field.
With increasing interest in sustainable aviation, robotics, and space tourism on the horizon, this is an excellent time to explore a career in aerospace manufacturing. It’s a challenging yet rewarding career path.

The FAA requires Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS) pilots to maintain a Part 107 license to fly these aircraft for any reason other than recreation. Need to inspect your roof? That's not recreation. An aerial photograph of your home to help sell it? That's not recreation, either.
While flying an aircraft takes a particular set of skills, those skills have little to do with photography. The view is great from up there, but that doesn't mean the pilot knows how to best frame the shot or work the aircraft's camera professionally. We have three different aircraft to cover a variety of different jobs.

Buy fewer next-generation planes, upgrade existing ones, and make money available to better prepare for emerging challenges.
During the next few decades, the Air Force, Navy, and Marine Corps plan to buy three new types of fighters, some 3,700 aircraft altogether, at a cost likely to reach nearly $340 billion. These plans are almost certainly unaffordable. Worse yet, even if fully implemented, they may leave the U.S. military ill-prepared to meet the very different and, compared to today, far more serious challenges that are likely to emerge 10 to 20 years from now. Fortunately, there is a more affordable approach that would allow the United States to meet its near-term security requirements as well as to better prepare itself for meeting long-term challenges. It would combine purchases of a smaller number of next-generation fighters with continued purchases of new or upgraded current-generation aircraft and modest cuts in the number of fighter wings. It would also defer production of one of the new fighters for at least five years. Not only would this approach be more affordable, it would be wiser.
The three new fighters the services plan to buy are the F/A-18E/F, the F-22, and the Joint Strike Fighter (JSF). The Navy’s F/A-18E/F, which began to be produced in fiscal year (FY) 1997, is intended to replace earlier F/A-18 models in the fighter/ground attack role and the A-6 in the deep interdiction role. The Navy plans to buy at least 548 of these aircraft. The Air Force plans to buy 333 F-22s to replace the F-15 air superiority fighter. Congress provided funding for the first two F-22s in FY 1999. Prototypes for the JSF are currently being developed in a competition between the Boeing Corporation and the Lockheed Martin Corporation, with plans for a family of 2,852 relatively low-cost aircraft to be used by all three services. Production is scheduled to begin around FY 2005.
The three new fighters would have impressive capabilities. The F/A-18E/F is a substantially upgraded version of the F/A-18C fighter. Both are designed to carry out air-to-air combat and ground attack missions, but the F/A-18E/F has a longer fuselage, larger wings, and a more powerful engine than the C version. It will also have greater range and payload capacity.
Unlike the F/A-18E/F, the F-22 is an entirely new aircraft. Its airframe shape and materials are designed to absorb or deflect radar signals. These “stealth” technologies are intended to make the F-22 substantially less vulnerable to surface-to-air missiles and air defense artillery that depend on radar guidance. The F-22 will also be the first aircraft ever to have a supersonic cruise capability. Existing aircraft can achieve supersonic speeds only through the use of afterburners that greatly increase fuel consumption. In addition, the F-22 will have a range of advanced avionics, including a new radar and displays that will provide the pilot with a much improved picture of the battle space, including the type, location, speed, and direction of enemy aircraft and the type and location of enemy surface-to-air missile threats. Although designed primarily to clear the sky of enemy fighters, the Air Force claims that the F-22 will also have a significant air-to-ground capability.
The JSF would also be an entirely new aircraft. The three planned variants of this fighter would be substantially better in terms of stealthiness, maneuverability, and avionics than the aircraft they are intended to replace. The Air Force and Navy versions of the JSF would be conventional takeoff and landing aircraft, whereas the Marine Corps version–like today’s AV-8B–would have a short takeoff and vertical landing capability.
Are they affordable?
Unfortunately, the performance improvements of the three new fighters will come at a very high price. Altogether, the services plan to buy 3,733 of these aircraft at a cost estimated at $258 billion to $337 billion. (All figures in this article are expressed in FY 2000 dollars.) The lower estimate assumes that the services can meet their cost goals for each new system, whereas the higher estimate assumes that, consistent with historical experience, the new fighters will end up costing substantially more to produce. About $39 billion has already been spent on these programs.
If the military’s unit-cost goals can be achieved, an average of $7.3 billion a year in procurement funding would be required during the next 27 years to pay for these plans. On the other hand, if the higher estimates, generated by the Congressional Budget Office (CBO), turn out to be correct, an average of $10.1 billion annually would be needed. In either case, another $800 million to $900 million a year would be needed for R&D. Altogether, completing these three programs would require average acquisition budgets (procurement plus R&D) of $8.1 billion to $11.1 billion a year during the FY 20002026 period.
By historical standards, these next-generation fighters are very costly. Depending on how successful cost-control efforts are, each F-22 is projected to cost $105 million to $124 million to procure. By comparison, the average F-15 cost only about $48 million. Similarly, each F/A-18E/F is likely to cost $70 million to $74 million, compared to $46 million for earlier F/A-18A-D models and $58 million for the F-14. Finally, the unit procurement cost of the JSF is projected to range from $43 million to $65 million for the Air Force variant, from $52 million to $77 million for the Marine Corps’ version, and from $53 million to $78 million for the Navy’s version. By contrast, the Air Force’s current-generation F-16 fighters cost about $25 million each, the Marine Corps’ AV-8B costs about $35 million, and, as already noted, the Navy’s earlier model F/A-18s (some of which would also be replaced by F/A-E/Fs) cost $46 million each to produce. The R&D costs of these new systems are also much higher. For example, developing the F-22 has cost about three times as much as developing the F-15.
It is extremely doubtful that the military’s modernization plans are affordable. In the past, fighter procurement has accounted for an average of about 4.6 percent of the Air Force’s budget and 3.6 percent of the Navy’s budget. If these shares are maintained in the future and the overall Department of Defense (DOD) budget stays flat in real inflation-adjusted terms at the level currently projected for FY 2005, the two services would have an average of about $7 billion a year available for fighter procurement during the FY 20002026 period. This is $300 million a year less than would be needed to pay for the administration’s procurement plans (even assuming that the military’s unit cost goals can be met) and $3.1 billion a year less than needed (assuming historical rates of cost growth). In addition, the services may find it difficult to fully fund the $800 million to $900 million a year required to complete R&D for the three aircraft.
As a result of the improved budget surplus projections made by CBO in early 2000, there is reason to believe that some additional funding will be provided for defense. However, the prospects for a major sustained increase that would include sufficient funding for the three fighter programs appear dim. The administration and Congress have placed higher priority on other policy goals. Likewise, it seems doubtful that the services would be able to shift sufficient funding from elsewhere in their budgets to pay for the three new fighters, because other major modernization projects are competing for their resources. If history is any guide, it is also likely that operation and support costs–military pay, operations and maintenance, family housing, and military construction–will grow in the future. In that case, the military may be hard pressed to provide even its historical share of funding for fighter modernization.
Reasons for constraint
There are a variety of reasons why the military’s current fighter modernization plans are unnecessary. First, the U.S. fighter force today is far superior to all of its potential adversaries, both in numbers and capabilities. Iran, Iraq, and North Korea have a combined total of only about 1,200 aircraft. Moreover, according to CBO, about three-quarters of these are first- and second-generation aircraft, most of which are based on 1950s designs. Most of China’s existing 2,500 fighters are first- and second-generation fighters. By 2005, China is expected to have only about 400 third-generation fighters and fewer than 100 fourth-generation fighters, which are based on designs from the 1970s or 1980s. By contrast, all current U.S. fighters are fourth-generation aircraft. In addition, the delivery of combat aircraft to developing countries dropped from an average of 578 per year in the 19831985 period to 237 per year in the 19951998 period, which suggests that the average age of Third World fighter fleets is increasing substantially.
Countries may also be modernizing their ground-based air defense forces less rapidly than they did during the Cold War. According to some reports, deliveries of surface-to-air missiles to developing countries fell from an average of about 5,500 per year in the mid-1980s to about 1,900 per year in the mid-1990s. Indeed, the value of all major arms deliveries to the developing world declined by about 50 percent between 1986 and 1998.
Overall, this information does not provide a complete picture of likely future threats to U.S. fighters. It is possible, for instance, that potential adversaries are making or will make significant modifications and upgrades to existing aircraft and surface-to-air missiles. Nevertheless, it appears that DOD could safely take a slower approach to fighter modernization and maintain smaller tactical air forces than are currently planned.
The ability to upgrade existing U.S. aircraft substantially at a reasonable cost also provides a compelling reason for going slower on modernization. Under current plans, the Air Force estimates that the average age of its fighter fleet will increase from about 12.5 years today to about 19.5 years in FY 2011 and then fall to about 18 years in FY 2015. Similarly, the Navy and Marine Corps estimate that the average age of their fighter forces will increase from 11.5 years today to 15 years in FY 2009 and then drop to 12.5 years in FY 2015. As aircraft age, they may develop structural and other problems, resulting in higher operation and support costs. However, it may be possible to avoid much of this cost growth if substantial funding is invested in a timely manner in modifying and upgrading existing aircraft. Indeed, many of the most important strides in fighter technology today involve improvements in avionics, which can often be retrofitted into existing aircraft.
Another factor that could allow DOD to prudently reduce its fighter forces and take a slower modernization approach is the enormous expansion of U.S. precision-guided munitions (PGM) capabilities. About 35 percent of the munitions used by NATO during the war in Kosovo were PGMs, including 90 percent of those used in the initial phase of the air campaign. During the past few decades, DOD has bought about 122,000 air-to-surface PGMs and 4,000 sea-launched Tomahawk cruise missiles. During the next few years, it plans to convert 322 existing nuclear-capable air-launched cruise missiles to conventional versions of the missile, and to convert 624 older Tomahawks to the latest configuration.
The military also plans to buy large quantities of new kinds of PGMs. These include 88,000 Joint Direct Attack Munitions, a relatively inexpensive kit that can be attached to existing “dumb” bombs, and 24,000 Joint Standoff Weapons, a more expensive glide bomb. Both weapons will rely on information from DOD’s Global Positioning System satellite network for guidance and could be delivered from almost any combat aircraft. Finally, DOD plans to buy 2,400 air-launched Joint Air-to-Surface Standoff Missiles, with a 100-mile range, and 1,353 Tactical Tomahawks, a new and less costly version of that missile.
In addition, it is critical to remember that fighters are only one element of U.S. air power, and fighter modernization is only one element affecting the capabilities of fighter forces. Other factors include the superior training received by U.S. personnel, electronic jamming provided by EA-6B electronic warfare aircraft, the refueling capability provided by a large fleet of tanker aircraft, the targeting and intelligence information provided by an unmatched network of communications and intelligence systems, a large airlift fleet, and long-range bombers. The recent war in Kosovo demonstrated that many of these capabilities, especially electronic warfare and other specialized aircraft support assets, are in short supply. Because of the high cost of the three new fighters, pursuing modernization may leave insufficient funding to adequately provide for these capabilities or to maintain high levels of training in the future.
Finally, perhaps the biggest problem with the military’s current fighter modernization plans is that they may reduce the funding necessary to research and experiment with new kinds of forces that might be needed to supplement or displace more traditional forms of tactical air power 10 to 20 years from now. It is widely believed that we are in the midst of a revolution in military affairs that will significantly change the way wars are fought in the future. The driving forces behind this revolution are advances in technology, especially information technology, combined with potential changes in military organization and operational concepts. The services claim that their current fighter plans continue to make sense in light of the changes under way. However, much evidence suggests that a substantially different mix of capabilities will be needed to effectively employ air power in the future. For example, the proliferation of increasingly accurate ballistic and cruise missiles and the growing access of many countries to satellite imagery are likely to dramatically reduce the U.S. military’s access to forward bases and increase the dangers posed to U.S. aircraft carriers operating near coastal waters.
All of the above trends suggest that, rather than focusing almost exclusively on the very costly modernization of an already large and effective fleet of tactical combat aircraft, the United States should devote greater resources to developing a range of other capabilities that might be better able to carry out some missions traditionally performed by tactical air forces. These alternatives include missile-firing ships, such as converted Trident ballistic missile submarines; long-range bombers; extended-range PGMs; and unmanned combat aerial vehicles.
An alternative approach
The most reasonable approach to modernization would involve scaling back and slowing current plans. The United States should rely more heavily on current-generation systems and do so further into the future. This could be done either by buying the latest new production versions of current-generation aircraft or by extending the lives of existing aircraft of these types. The best option would be to rely on a combination of new production aircraft and modifications and upgrades.
As noted earlier, current-generation U.S. fighters are far less expensive than the three proposed next-generation fighters. Assuming historical rates of cost growth, the three new fighters will cost roughly 50 to 150 percent more to produce than the current-generation fighters they are intended to replace, depending on the specific aircraft. Yet current-generation fighters remain highly effective. Moreover, in many cases, the latest production versions are far more effective than earlier versions. For example, according to the Air Force, the latest F-16C/D fighters are as much as five times more effective than the earliest versions of the F-16. Thus, simply replacing existing current-generation fighters with the latest versions of those aircraft would ultimately lead to the fielding of significantly more capable air forces.
It should also be possible to incorporate many, though certainly not all, of the advances planned for next-generation fighters into current-generation aircraft. For example, it may be possible to make a variant of the F-15 that includes advanced, electronically scanned array radar and is modified to incorporate significant stealth characteristics.
An even more cost-effective option would be to extend the life of existing fighter aircraft. Modification and upgrade efforts can vary dramatically in terms of cost and effectiveness. Typically, efforts aimed simply at extending the lives of existing systems are relatively inexpensive whereas those aimed at not only extending their service lives but also significantly improving the system’s capabilities can be quite costly.
A relatively inexpensive modification effort involves the F-16 Mid Life Update program, now being pursued by several NATO countries. At a cost of about $5 million per aircraft, or less than 20 percent as much as a new F-16, existing fleets are being outfitted with new cockpits and avionics systems, including a new mission computer and radar upgrades. The program is expected to add at least 10 years to the life of the aircraft and perhaps as much as double their air-to-air combat capabilities.
An example of a more extensive and costly effort is the Marine Corps’ AV-8B remanufacturing program, in which 72 older AV-8B Harrier IIs are being outfitted with a new fuselage, engine, and avionics, including a new radar and a night-attack capability. The program is expected to add about 6,000 hours, or roughly 20 to 25 years, to the life of the aircraft. The Marine Corps says the upgraded Harriers will cost about 75 percent as much as new-production Harriers.
It should also be possible to extend the lives of F-15s, early model F/A-18s, and other current-generation aircraft. The House Defense Appropriations Subcommittee recently reported that, “service life data from the Air Force indicates that the F-15 can exceed 16,000 flying hours without major structural changes.” This equates to a service life of 50 years or more. Moreover, the subcommittee noted that F-15 combat capabilities could be “improved substantially with upgraded radars, jammers, and helmet-mounted targeting systems.” The subcommittee also concluded that for about $200,000 per aircraft, F-15s could be upgraded with a new datalink, which allows aircraft to share target information and, tests suggest, could lead to a fivefold improvement in air combat kill ratios.
Although current-generation fighters, especially when incorporating the latest advances, are likely to remain highly capable well into the 21st century, it would be prudent to purchase at least some next-generation fighters during the next decade. Buying 100 to 200 F-22s instead of the 333 currently planned would substantially improve the effectiveness of U.S. land-based tactical air forces and still yield significant savings as compared to the current plan. According to the Air Force, the 42 F-117 stealth fighters deployed to the Persian Gulf during the 1991 war proved highly effective in destroying many of the most critical and heavily defended targets in the first few days of the war and played an especially important role in the collapse of the Iraqi air defense system. Similarly, a force of 100 to 200 F-22s, supplemented with a formidable fleet of the latest F-15s, would be adequate to clear the skies of the most dangerous air-to-air threats that are likely to emerge during the next several decades. For similar reasons, the United States should buy about 200 to 300 F/A-18E/Fs instead of the 548 now planned.
For three key reasons, production of the JSF should be delayed for at least another five years. First, the United States would already have highly capable tactical air forces, especially if the military buys some F-22s and F/A-18E/Fs and procures a mix of new-production and remanufactured current-generation fighters. Second, buying any JSFs before F-22 and F/A-18E/F purchases are completed, as currently planned, would almost certainly prove unaffordable. At $153 billion to $223 billion, the JSF is by far the most costly of the planned new fighters. Third, and most important, a five-year delay would give the military time to develop and experiment with new kinds of technologies, such as unmanned combat aerial vehicles and Tomahawk-equipped submarines, as well as new force structures and operational concepts. These investments could prove critical to maintaining U.S. power projection capabilities over the long term, particularly given the increasing access of potential adversaries to ballistic and cruise missiles and satellite imagery.
In the short run, the JSF program should be turned into an extended technology development effort. If in five years or so it appears that this aircraft will be needed to counter future threats, then a decision could be made to proceed with full-scale development and eventual production beginning about 2010. On the other hand, if unmanned combat aerial vehicles and other new kinds of forces have proven themselves, or the threat posed to tactical air forces by ballistic and cruise missile proliferation has seriously eroded the value of such forces, it may make more sense to focus resources on producing and fielding these new kinds of forces.
In addition to scaling back the planned purchases of the F-22 and the F/A-18E/F and deferring the JSF for at least five years, it also makes sense to reduce the size of our tactical air forces. Even relatively modest cuts in the existing force structure of 20 Air Force fighter wings, 11 Navy carrier wings, and 4 Marine Corps air wings could yield significant savings. For example, cutting two Air Force fighter wings and one or two aircraft carriers (the ships plus their air wings) could yield more than $3 billion a year in savings over the long term.
To be sure, in the near term, force structure cuts of this magnitude would reduce the military’s ability to fight and quickly win two major theater wars nearly simultaneously–a current U.S. requirement–and to carry out a broad range of forward presence and contingency operations. However, the reduction in capabilities might be relatively modest. At worst, it would still leave the United States with a force capable of winning a single major regional war quickly and decisively, while assuming a defensive posture in the second theater, and would support a less extensive range of forward presence and contingency operations. Moreover, if these next-generation aircraft are as effective as the military claims they will be, it may eventually be possible to carry out even the current two-theater strategy with smaller air forces.
The major question facing the military’s fighter modernization program today is not whether the services should continue to invest in tactical air power. Even the approach outlined here would require spending $6 billion a year or more on modernization over the long term. Rather, the question is whether the military can develop an approach to modernization that is affordable as well as capable of providing at least a modest hedge against the possibility that warfare in 2010 or 2020 will turn out to look very different from the 1991 Gulf War or the 1999 war in Kosovo.

There have been many hypotheses of what creates them, and the research spawned a world-leading scientific community in Norway studying the phenomenon from the ground for the past two centuries.
In modern times advances in rocket technology meant that the aurora for the first time could be studied from within.
The very first launch of a Norwegian civilian, suborbital research rocket took place at August 18th, 1962, from Andøya. The mission was a collaboration between Norway, Denmark and United States, where NASA supported the mission with radar and telemetry systems.
Since then, thousands of launches have taken place. Countries like USA, UK, Germany and France have completed many missions from Andøya, both with sounding rockets and scientific balloons.
Earth’s magnetic field forms a cusp in the polar regions. Flying a sounding rocket from Andøya through the cusp region requires large and costly vehicles. In order to enable scientists to use smaller and cheaper rockets Andøya Space established a second launch area at Ny-Ålesund, Svalbard. The first launch took place in 1997.
The Alomar Observatory
A German-Norwegian initiative in the early 90s led to the establishment of the Alomar Observatory on top of the Ramnan mountain at Andøya in 1994. Using state of the art lidar and radar systems, in addition to other complementary remote sensing techniques, the observatory has studied the Arctic atmosphere for over 25 years.
Civilian sounding rockets and military missiles requires more or less the same infrastructure, and Andøya Space has already been involved in missile testing for decades. From the early Penguin missile and up to modern variants, Andøya Space is a trusted partner when performing live firing tests and operational training exercises.
A space technology course was set up at local high school in Andenes, where the students take some of their classes at Andøya Space, creating a unique learning environment where students can be very hands-on.
This led to the creation of a space education subsidiary being established in the year 2000.
Today, thousands of students from all over the world have been to Andøya Space, built basic sounding rockets from scratch and launched them under the supervision of the professionals.
Remotely piloted aircraft systems of all sizes have increased in popularity and usefulness around the world as the technology has matured. This has led to the creation of a new business area at Andøya Space.
In 2012 a fixed-wing drone built by Andøya Space performed one of the world’s longest civilian BRLOS (beyond radio line of sight) drone flights (by then), relying solely on satellite communications.
Today, Andøya Space uses drones for several types of missions, such as inspection, research, surveillance and flight testing.
Andøya Space recognized at an early stage the important role satellites would play in communication, environmental monitoring and other crucial societal areas. An initiative to pursue orbital launches from Andøya began already in the early 90s. The recent revolution in the space industry, allowing smaller satellites and the development of smaller launch vehicles, has enabled Andøya Space to finally realize the establishment of a launch site for small satellites to polar low Earth orbit and sun-synchronous orbits. | aerospace |

ADS-B technology is being adopted across the world as safer and more-efficient replacement for radar. In brief, ADS-B is the broadcast of aircraft information including direction, groundspeed, and altitude (used for air traffic control) – allowing for more efficient flight operations, higher situational awareness and allowing for weather updates sent to the cockpit electronically.
As of 2017, The FAA estimated that up to 160,000 general aviation aircraft need to install new equipment to meet the 2020 mandate, and there are limited resources to help aircraft owners become compliant. Butler National Corporation and its aerospace subsidiaries (Avcon Industries and Butler Avionics) created this webpage to assist aircraft owners and operators with installation information to motivate early compliance. Installation of ADS-B “Out” hardware takes time – planning is essential.
What it is:
ADS-B stands for “Automatic Dependent Surveillance – Broadcast.” Here is what the words really mean:
The system Automatically transmits (sends) GPS location, altitude, ground speed and other data from an aircraft at a set interval, without any interaction from the pilot or otherwise.
The system is Dependent upon transponders and a Global Positioning System (“GPS”, also known as a Satellite-Based Augmentation System “SBAS”) or Navigation System for the information it broadcasts.
The system is used for Surveillance because it provides identification and 3-dimensional tracking of equipped aircraft.
The system installed on each aircraft Broadcasts information to ground stations and other aircraft. The ground stations rebroadcast aircraft and flight information that may be used by pilots on aircraft with ADS-B(In) equipment.
ADS-B Types – “In” and “Out”
ADS-B includes “ADS-B (In)” and “ADS-B (Out)”. These refer to two functions of ADS-B equipment. ADS-B(Out) will be mandatory (in 2020) when the aircraft is operating in airspace that currently requires a Mode-C Transponder. ADS-B(Out) equipment broadcasts the aircraft information to other aircraft and ground stations. ADS-B(In) equipment is not currently required. ADS-B(In) provides pilot-usable flight information, such as advisory weather and traffic information.
What You Need:
ADS-B “Out” technology (required in 2020 as FAA mandated) generally requires two pieces of equipment:
- A Mode-S Transponder (with Extended Squitter) or a Universal Access Transceiver (UAT)
- A WAAS GPS or a GNSS/SBAS Receiver
These two components may be combined in a single transponder. “Pairing” is the term that defines the approved interface between a GPS position source and transponder(s). Together, the UAT/Mode-S transponder and WAAS GPS pairing make an aircraft compliant (when properly configured).
ADS-B “In” technology (not required at this time) receives subscription-free advisory information broadcasts:
- FIS-B (Weather Data)
- TIS-B (Traffic Data)
Pilots may use ADS-B(In) services to receive graphical weather and flight information in the cockpit.
Flight Information Service-Broadcast (FIS-B) provides graphical weather and flight information (for advisory use only). FIS-B is accessed by using a 978 MHz Universal Access Receiver and ADS-B “Out” transmission.
The FIS-B set of products includes:
- Aviation Routine Weather Reports (METAR)
- Aviation Selected Special Weather Reports (SPECI)
- Terminal Area Forecasts (TAF)
- Significant Meteorological Information (SIGMET)
- Airman’s Meteorological Information (AIRMET)
- Pilot Reports (PIREP)
- NEXRAD Reflectivity (Continental United States [CONUS])
- NEXRAD Reflectivity (Regional)
- Notices to Airmen (NOTAM/Flight Data Center [FDC])
- Winds and Temperature Aloft
FIS-B information, including weather information, NOTAMs, and TFR areas, are intended only for advisory use for the sole purpose of assisting in long- and near-term planning and decision making. The system lacks sufficient resolution and updating capability necessary for tactical aerial maneuvering around localized weather phenomena. In particular, in extreme scenarios, the oldest weather radar data on the display can be up to 15 to 20 minutes older than the display’s age indication for that weather radar data. Also, FIS-B information must not be used in lieu of a standard preflight briefing.
Aircraft owners should make sure safety assessments are conducted on TIS-B and FIS-B avionics. The equipment should meet the performance requirements of the FAA technical standard order (TSO) to ensure it is compatible with existing FAA FIS-B services and meets minimum performance and quality control standards.
There are two ADS-B link frequency options: 1090 extended squitter (1090ES) and universal access transceiver (UAT). The 1090ES equipment operates on 1090 MHz and has performance requirements specified in TSO-C166b. The UAT operates on 978 MHz and has performance requirements specified in TSO-C154c. This AC addresses installing equipment meeting the requirements of either TSO. Note: 14 CFR § 91.225 requires 1090ES transponders in Class A airspace (above 18,000 feet MSL)
978 MHz / UAT
Universal Access Transceivers (UAT) transponders operate at 978 MHz and support both FIS-B and TIS-B services. UAT receivers are designed for use in the United States in airspace below 18,000 ft. MSL. To access FIS-B information, an aircraft must be equipped with a UAT/978 MHz receiver. FIS-B and TIS-B information can be shown on cockpit-mounted displays or portable electronic devices (PEDs) such as the iPad.
1090 MHz ES
1090MHz transponders, known as “1090 ES” (“1090 MHz Extended Squitter”), will be required in Class A airspace in the United States after Dec. 31, 2019, and will be the ADS-B standard in many foreign countries. 1090 ES transponders send “Extended Squitter” messages, which include position, time and velocity. Aircraft equipped with 1090 ES transponders typically do not have access to ground-transmitted FIS-B services unless they also contain a UAT receiver.
The FAA Mandate
The FAA Mandate is contained in the Code of Federal Regulations, or CFR. The mandate is located in 14 CFR § 91.225 and § 91.227.
Installation Cost Factors / Considerations
When you bring your aircraft to a shop for installation of ADS-B, the following factors can impact your installation:
- Transponder Antenna Location
- Typically, a new coax cable needs to be installed – the complexity and overall burden of this task will impact time and cost.
- Does the intercom need to be removed?
- Is the existing antenna okay?
- GPS / GPS Antenna Location
- Does existing GPS have WAAS?
- Does GPS have ADS-B outputs for the transponder(s)?
- Do you want an ADS-B independent GPS source for each transponder? (Not required)
- Do you want the GPS to perform any navigation / map functions or only provide position for ADS-B Out compliance?
- Where do you want the GPS ‘box’ installed?
- Transponder: What type of ADS-B(Out) do you need/want? (1090ES / UAT / Both)
- Is your transponder upgradeable to 1090ES?
- Do you want some ADS-B(In) functionality? Do you need a separate receiver / antenna?
- Do you want to display ADS-B(In) info on a PED such as the iPad?
- How do you want the transponder installed?

A military cargo plane that overshot a runway, crashed and caught fire in Iran killed13 people, the army said on Monday.
The plane was carrying meat from Bishkek in Kyrgyzstan when it crashed near the capital Tehran, the army said in a statement, adding that “13 of the plane’s personnel were killed.”
Earlier, an Iranian emergency official told state television that 16 people were on board the plane and there was only one known survivor.
“A (Boeing) cargo 707 plane carrying meat took off from Bishkek in Kyrgyzstan and had an emergency landing at Fath airport this morning,” the army said in a statement on its website.
Fath airport is in Alborz province, just northwest of Tehran.
Several bodies found
“It exited the runway during the landing and caught fire after hitting the wall at the end of the runway,” the army statement said.
Fire immediately engulfed the aircraft after it skidded off a runway and crashed into a wall separating the airfield from a residential neighbourhood.
Images carried by Iran’s state-run media showed the burned-out tail of the plane sticking out, surrounded by charred homes.
Earlier, Iran’s state TV said the bodies of seven people had been found.
“We have recovered seven bodies from the wreckage of the plane … the search continues,” the head of Iran’s emergency department, Pirhossein Kolivand told state TV.
Black box found
Investigators found the plane’s black box, which will provide more details about the crash, deputy Alborz governor Azizollah Shahbazi told Tasnim news agency.
Iran’s aging air fleet has had a string of crashes in recent years.
Iran’s Aseman Airlines was ordered to ground its fleet of ATR planes in February last year after one of them crashed in the Zagros mountains, killing all 66 people onboard.
Iran has been subject to tough US sanctions for years, hindering the purchase of new planes and critical spare parts for the US-made planes in its air force, civilian flag carrier Iran Air and domestic airlines.
Hopes of a change in the situation were dashed last May when Washington pulled out of a landmark 2015 deal over Iran’s nuclear programme, reimposing sanctions that had been lifted as part of the multilateral accord.

Astronauts Luca Parmitano (left), and Christina Koch (right) with the space cookiesNASA
Astronauts can now bake cookies too. Over the Christmas season, astronauts aboard the International Space Station (ISS) joined in on the Earthly festivities by baking cookies in microgravity.
Unfortunately for the astronauts, they weren't allowed to eat their space-baked cookies as these were part of a science project which tested out a new oven in space.
The cookies have been sent back down to Earth for analysis.
RELATED: LEGO RELEASES INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION SET AND SENDS IT UP TO SPACE
The space oven
The special oven that was sent up to the ISS was created by a New York-based startup called Zero G Kitchen, and Nanoracks, a Space technology developer. The ingredients for the cookies were provided by DoubleTree by Hilton.
The whole point of the experiment was to see if baking in Space was even possible.
We made space cookies and milk for Santa this year. Happy holidays from the @Space_Station! pic.twitter.com/sZS4KdPmhj
— Christina H Koch (@Astro_Christina) December 26, 2019
On Earth, baking is a relatively easy task — for those who have the touch. In Space, however, it's an entirely different matter, as the astronauts who tried their hand at Space baking discovered.
That's where the Zero G oven comes into play. It creates an environment where baking is possible. It's shaped like a cylinder with heaters on all sides to ensure the cookie is evenly heated.
The astronaut in charge of the baking bonanza was Luca Parmitano from the European Space Agency (ESA). Parmitano said that "We were able to bake the samples, but it took a few attempts to figure out how long they had to stay in the oven."
Parmitano explained that the first three cookies they attempted to bake came out very doughy, but that the last two were nice and brown, with melted chocolate chips. They had to be baked for two hours — a big jump up from Earth's 20-minute cookie-baking requirements.
He said "The samples are now stored in a freezer to be returned to the Earth for analysis. We’ll see how well it worked!"
The reason the astronauts weren't allowed to taste their mouth-watering cookies was in case they weren't properly baked. The whole point of the experiment is to try and bring more home flavors to astronauts who will spend multi-year trips up in Space in the future.
— Smarter Every Day (@smartereveryday) January 24, 2020
Mary Murphy, senior internal payloads manager at Nanoracks said "What are we going to do when we’re in those experiences, and what are we going to need for those people to have a good experience and to be able to perform all these tasks that we’re going to ask of them to do all this amazing science research."
"So one of the things that came to us as an opportunity was looking at baking in space," she continued.
And not to fret, DoubleTree by Hilton also provided fully baked cookies for the astronauts to enjoy over the merry season. | aerospace |

(or southern, depending on where they build it) Yeah that won't piss everyone off.
The wikipedia page made me believe the elevator would be used for the transportation of goods, not people. Even then, it seems pointless - it's not like goods get transported to space so often. Of course, the reason for that could be that there isn't a space elevator - but even then, why would we need to send goods to space? What's the purpose?
Quote from: Thedutchjelle on September 12, 2007, 11:03:56 PMThat thin line going up the sky looks kinda thin.. like it can snap any moment.Yeah, with all the wind in space...
That thin line going up the sky looks kinda thin.. like it can snap any moment.
..... I know there isn't wind in space -- But don't you agree that that structure looks weak?
I don't thinking building a huge elevator would be much cheaper than launching a rocket. And even then the elevator also needs to be able to escape gravity.
Maybe so..Then there is still a human problem - Let's assume the elevator works and it travels at such a speed that it can escape gravity. The thing is, to escape gravity the speed would have to be really big so the pressure would be enormous. How many people would be able to deal with that? I don't know about you but if someone told me "yeah uh the pressure in the elevator when you're going up is huge" I'd be scared shitless and not willing to go in there.Unless of course there are quality depressurizers out there but I'm thinking that's still SF - dunno though.Also yeah I know it's for the transportation of goods but while we're at it, why not transport humans as well?

This important sector of activity allows our students to quickly find their first job. Some opt for the possibility of becoming a flight instructor. Each year, more than 20 new pilots are hired for our various contracts.
As our flight training unit is an integral part of our operations, our pilots are not only trained to fly an aircraft but also to operate it. As we train future employees, our students are given priority during hiring periods.
Our operating certificate authorizes us to perform a multitude of aerial work such as aerial overflights, forest fire detection, bird-dogging, LIDAR, SURVEY, imagery, aerial photography, etc.
Several major modifications have been made to certain aircraft to meet the needs of our customers. If you have a project, we have the capabilities and the means to help you achieve it. If the need arises, we do not shy away from the possibility of making modifications to our aircraft to carry out your projects and integrate your systems.
A beautiful novelty from 2019: one of our Navajo’s got a makeover! Indeed, our FUMN has renewed its two propellers, its two engines, its interior fittings and its control panel. These actions have been taken to optimize the comfort and safety of our passengers. The changes don't stop there! This plane, which was already equipped with the SURVEY modification, also received a 21 ’’ by 22 ’’ opening that could accommodate LIDAR equipment and cameras for aerial photography! Call us for a personalized quote according to your projects.
Why Exactair ?
We Adapt To Your Request
You have specific needs, we can do it for you.
Our service offerings are fully adapted.
Modified And Restored Aircraft
Our aircraft are equipped with the latest technology in the field.
We take care of the work at all stages with professionalism and safety.
Protection Of Forests Against Fire (Sopfeu)
Twenty aircraft and as many pilots fly over Quebec each summer in order to protect our forests from fire. This work is carried out in collaboration with SOPFEU.
Our thirteen Cessna 182 RGs and three of our Cessna 310s were modified with the installation of the SKY DEPLOY SYSTEM which allows precise navigation according to the required patrol and maintains communications with the SOPFEU offices, no matter which remote region is overflown.
Bird-Dogging And Transport
Two Cessna 310, two Navajo and one King Air A100 are used for bird-dogging and transportation of SOPFEU employees between the different bases. Our aircraft are called out with the air tankers. The airtankers will always be accompanied by a bird-dog support aircraft who will be the air traffic controller for aircraft responsible for firefighting operations.
Roberval – Chibougamau- Radisson (La Grande) – Rivière Bonard – Manic 5 – Havre St-Pierre - Baie-Comeau - Val-d'Or
For more than 12 years, ExactAir has carried out dozens of overflight contracts across North America. Pilots can be called upon to work anywhere on the continent, as demonstrated by the following example: one pilot flew surveys for a few weeks in California and then headed to Taloyoak in the northern Northwest Territories!
The Survey is a specialized airborne operation. It involves flying at low altitude, between 200 and 300 feet from the ground, to read Earth's magnetism. In addition to magnetic surveys, it is also possible to do spectrometry. These techniques allow you to explore what’s underground without digging. Scientists, as well as resource companies use it to save time and money while preserving the sites surveyed.
This job is suitable for an adventure-loving pilot, as contracts are made across Canada, both in the south and in the Arctic! We use three Piper Navajo and one King Air A100.
Lidar and photography
LIDAR means Light (laser) Detection and Ranging. This technique is used, among others, in topography and forestry. LIDAR operations and those of specialized aerial photographs are carried out jointly with our clients. In fact, we take care of the aircraft, piloting it and all the necessary technical support, while specialized on-board systems are provided are provided by clients working in the field. Over the years, we have had the good fortune to perform LIDAR all over North America.
As new systems have evolved, we have modified to our aircraft in accordance. We have, among others modifications, a newly modified Piper Navajo able to accommodate imaging equipment requiring an opening of up to 21’’ by 22 ’’. We also have two Navajo’s that can accommodate devices requiring 8” by 14” openings.
In addition, for the comfort of our customers, we have opted for a complete restoration of the aircraft including the two motors, the two propellers (zero hour), a completely refurbished interior layout as well as state-of-the-art instrumentation.

- Funded by DARPA, NASA
- First stop – moons of Mars
October 21, 2010 – A SENIOR NASA official has promised to deliver a spaceship that will travel between alien worlds “within a few years”.
Speaking at a conference in San Francisco on Saturday, NASA Ames director Simon Worden said his division had started a project with Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency called the “Hundred Year Starship”.
The project was kicked off recently with $1 million funding from DARPA and $100K from NASA and hopes to utilise new propulsion ideas being explored by NASA.
Star Trek fans, prepare to get excited – electric propulsion is here, according to Mr Worden.
“Anybody that watches the (Star Trek) Enterprise, you know you don’t see huge plumes of fire,” he said.
“Within a few years we will see the first true prototype of a spaceship that will take us between worlds.”
Mr Worden said the space program was “now really aimed at settling other worlds”.
“You heard it here,” he told the crowd at the “Long Conversation”.
“Twenty years ago you had to whisper that in dark bars and get fired.”
Mr Worden said he hoped to “inveigle some billionaires” such as Google founder Larry Page to help with further funding for the project.
Another possible source of propulsion being funded by NASA was by using microwave power from a planetary base to heat hydrogen propellants on board an orbiting spaceship.

Close to 30 hot air balloons lifted off Saturday morning, Feb. 2, from the grounds of E.P. Rock Elementary School in a successful launch of the 24th annual Hudson Hot Air Affair festival.
It was cold, but conditions were perfect for flying, according to event organizer Evy Nerbonne. The cloud ceiling was high and the breeze was light.
The north wind pushed the balloons south. Many landed in the area of County Road F, west of River Falls.
About half as many balloons flew again at 3 p.m. Saturday. The wind had switched in the opposite direction by then, and they flew north over the city. | aerospace |
