Following these rules will keep you and your drone safe and will help keep the airspace available to everyone.
- Register your drone, mark it on the outside with registration number and carry proof of registration with you.
- If hobbyist, fly only for recreational purposes.
- Fly your drone at or below 400 feet when in controlled or “Class G” airspace.
- Do not fly in controlled airspace (around and above many airports) unless you are flying at a recreational flyer fixed site that has an agreement with the FAA.
- Keep your drone within your line of sight.
- Do not fly in airspace where flight is prohibited.
- Never fly near other aircraft, especially near airports.
- Never fly over groups of people, public events, or stadiums full of people.
- Never fly near emergencies.
- Never fly under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
Recreational flyers should know if they intentionally violate any of these safety requirements, and/or operate in a careless and reckless manner, they could be liable for criminal and/or civil penalties.

Click on the side map to open the tracking page with real-time (no delay) aircraft positions.
The map highlights the airports (with runway length and radio frequency) and current weather conditions (clouds, rain and snow in different colors).
The map shows information about the aircraft tracked by the OGN network and also adds the data coming directly from the Test circuit of the Radar2 apps (test provider). Even if the data from the two different sources are seen together on the map, they do not interact with each other, in fact the data of the test circuit are not displayed in the apps connected with the real OGN provider and the real OGN data are not displayed in the apps connected with the test provider.
The positions of the Radar2 apps that refer to the test provider, and that have not set a name for the test "room", are presented on the main page of the map, those that have set up a private "room" are visible only if you know the name of the room to specify in the map.
The map page also provides a search function for an aircraft if its OGN Callsign is known (eg. ICA012345, FLR123456, etc.)
Virtual cockpit 3D
In the previous map, by selecting an aircraft icon and pressing the blue round button (on the right side) it is possible to access the Virtual Cockpit function which presents the 3D animation of the pilot's view and the indications of the main on-board instruments * (in metric units).
To monitor an aircraft fleet, in real time, it is possible to open multiple browser windows in a wide screen.
This feature is experimental and is subject to further evolution.
The smoothness of the video animation, and the accuracy of the readings of the instruments, depends on the Internet connection speed of the browser and the quality of the signal received from the aircraft. In non-optimal conditions, a delay of a few seconds is added. The video is very smooth when the aircraft is using the Radar2 app or radio devices in areas well served by ground receiving stations. Try to see different aircrafts.
* Attitude indicator readings are inferred from flight parameters and assume all turns are coordinated.. | aerospace |

That said if the question on your mind isn't here, or if you simply prefer to just ask us face-to-face, we're always happy to chat to our clients.
'Drone' is the media friendly term for what we know as our UAS's. which stands for 'Unmanned Aircraft System'. occasionally called an 'Unmanned Aerial Vehicle' or 'UAV'. Whatever you prefer to call them, they are basically aircraft operated remotely by a pilot on the ground.
We think so, but like any piece of electronics or mechanics, there are inherent risks, however many of these can be managed by a well trained operator and team, such as ourselves.
As part of our commitment to safety we promise the following:
"We will not fly if we do not feel it is safe to do so"
We put the safety of people and property first.
Absolutely if you want to fly commercially for work. As a drone operator in the UK, you need what is called a 'Permit for Commercial Operation', though this is not a 'licence to fly' as some might claim. This is a legal requirement from the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) in the UK. The CAA measure all those that apply for a permit for commercial operation through a strictly controlled scheme, which covers the legal and regulatory theory, practical flying and operational skills, that are needed to safely operate an unmanned aerial vehicles in the UK.
No. It is also a legal requirement to carry insurance for public liability that also complies with regulation EC-785/2004, as set out by the CAA. At Altitude Aerial Photography we hold cover that significantly exceeds the standard set out by the CAA and covers us up to £5 million for public liability. Though we can also extend this on a job-by-job basis if more cover is needed.
Absolutely and proud of it. All of our Altitude Aerial Photography pilots have completed CAA approved courses in addition to their years of advanced remote aircraft experience. We are also fully insured for public liability. Copies of this, as well as our operations manual are available upon request.
As well as holding permits to fly in the more basic 0-7kg category of aircraft, our main Pilots are also fully licensed to fly in the 7-20kg category, as well as a permission from the CAA to fly at severely reduced separation distances.
We get asked this and many similar questions, such as, can a drone film over water, can a drone film over buildings, how high can a drone go, how far can a drone fly, and what can you film with a drone?
As well as having a permit that allows us to fly aircraft up to 20kgs in the UK, we also hold a UAS-OSC, which is a specialist operating safety case, granted by the CAA, which permits us to fly in many locations that a standard permit holder would not be allowed due to the limitations imposed within standard permits, so before you think a drone can't be flown somewhere, get in touch, you may be surprised.
No. There are the standard limitations set out to all operators, but we have a special permission granted by the CAA to fly much closer, as well as in locations many would have to refuse, such as in congested areas with our larger aircraft. It's worth noting however that this sometimes still needs to be done with suitable planning and risk assessments, as a result if you have a job that is potentially complicated, the sooner you can discuss it with us the better.
This depends on which craft we use on the day, but a typical flight is 10-12 minutes. This can change slightly depending on air temperature and the altitude we start flying from, but we carry spare batteries and charging facilities in order to keep flying.
Very good. All of our aircraft operate 3-axis fully stabilised cameras, so no matter what the craft is doing the camera stays smooth and steady. Tied to this all the aircraft carry cameras capable of filming in a range of levels from 720p and 1080p all the way up to 4k ultra high definition. We can also take stills shots from these videos or dedicated stills shots from one of our many SLR cameras.
No, we have the ability on all of our aircraft to adjust the cameras tilt in flight, with our larger aircraft having the ability to add pan and roll, as well as the option for a separate camera operator for a full 360 degree range of movement.
To further improve the quality of our work and help the operators get the most for you, all of our aircraft have live video downlinks to the ground, which allows us and you to see exactly what the camera sees as we fly.
We can record in various modes and frame rates, so please contact us to discuss your needs.
We can fly in winds of up to 20/25 knots for most of our aircraft, but anything stronger and rain or fog just isn't safe to work in. To be fair though, the best images won't be achieved in these conditions anyway. Sometimes this means waiting for gaps in the weather and occasionally postponing a job if necessary.
This depends a little on the drone we're using and the location. Typically the first flight of the day has a small delay as we run a few vital calibration settings before this, which set us up for the day and makes all subsequent flights quicker and safer. The important thing to understand is that for us, safety comes first. We can promise to work efficiently and communicate clearly so we're ready when needed.
We aim to only ever postpone when absolutely necessary, which is typically down to the weather. So if we are unable to fly we can move your booking to another day at no extra cost.
If you wish to cancel a job, then this is covered in our terms and conditions, which will be provided with your quote.
We're always willing to chat, as this is what we do. We can then tell you if and how we can help. It will always help if you can bring us the following information as a starting point though:
Date and time.
Roughly what you hope to achieve.
Any special requirements. | aerospace |

In the January-February edition of Rocky Mountain Outdoors, Jack Olson gave us a funny and captivating story about his trip flying home from Florida. Jack’s flight reminded me of an airplane ride of my own a few months earlier.
While in Iceland for two weeks during September 2012, I contacted a retired pilot of Icelandair and asked if he could fly me around the lava fields, geysers and glaciers to take photos. We met at a grass strip and it took us some time to figure out how I was going to get into his 1950s era French built, wooden fuselage, fabric covered, single engine airplane. It looked to me to be a 2/3 scale model of a Piper Cherokee I learned to fly 43 years before. We took off on the calmest and sunniest day of my visit. For those who haven’t been there, Iceland is almost always windy and usually cloudy.
This was my last full day in Iceland and it was one of the best; smooth flying, views of volcanic craters, old and new lava fields and glaciers, including the largest glacier in Europe. All was going well until I noticed the engine sputtering. I suspected the carburetor was iced up and, sure enough, my retired transatlantic airline pilot applied carburetor heat, but to no effect. We were flying about 1500 feet above ground level when the engine started acting up. At about 500 feet above the lava fields and glacier crevasses, I asked the pilot why the engine was sputtering. He replied calmly: “I don’t know. I’m looking for an emergency landing site.” I knew this wooden plane with canvas for skin was no match for abrasive lava or 100 foot deep glacier crevasses, but I had faith in the pilot so I continued taking photos as we flew closer to our subject.
To make a long flight short, we limped back to the air field. The next day when I flew out of Reykjavik, Icelandair gave me a first class seat with a clean, unscratched window for our late afternoon flight to New York. We followed the setting sun across Greenland as I photographed icebergs, fjords and ice fields along with glaciated mountains protruding through the ice—all from 35,000 feet. There was no sputtering of the Boeing 757 engines on our flight over Greenland. When I arrived in New York, I sent an email to the retired Icelandair pilot and thanked him for the first class upgrade. | aerospace |

Persistent Systems, LLC (“Persistent”), a leader in mobile ad hoc networking (MANET), announced today that Oregon-based Hood Technology Corporation (“Hood Tech”), which develops gimbaled cameras for small unmanned aircraft systems (UAS), has joined Persistent’s Wave Relay® Ecosystem.
The Ecosystem is an industry alliance of UAS, unmanned ground vehicles (UGV), sensor, and camera manufacturers all utilizing Persistent’s Wave Relay® MANET as their preferred network for command-and-control and communications functions. The Hood Tech Vision division of Hood Tech will be the first camera manufacturer to join the Wave Relay® Ecosystem.
“Warfighters deserve the best possible user experience from their combat systems,” said Jeremy Hickman, Director of Business Development for Persistent Systems. “By collaborating with Hood Tech, we can ensure that the systems work in harmony; delivering full motion video, camera control, and KLV metadata, to the dismounted warfighter.”
In addition, by closely working with Persistent, Hood Tech furthers the company’s Next-Generation ISR concept. This new approach to air-ground video connectivity networks warfighters with aircraft and onboard sensors, greatly speeding up the tempo of combat.
By collaborating with the Hood Tech Aero division, Persistent will leverage their manned ISR aviation division to demonstrate the future of ISR full-motion video, putting the capability and control back in the hands of the dismounted warfighter.
“We chose to be part of the Persistent Systems Ecosystem because Wave Relay® has proven to be such a reliable datalink,” Brian Prange, VP of Hood Tech. “By joining the Ecosystem, we lower barriers between the two companies, allowing us both to improve efficiency, and provide greater value to customers requiring the installation of Persistent’s MPU5 networking radio on aircraft.”
As the next step in their relationship, Hood Tech and Persistent will be pursuing opportunities in defense, traffic, forestry, and firefighting markets, say Persistent company officials.

The official start of summer... FAA speaks on the CFI controversy... two teens fly a Piper Cub across the country. Where have we heard that before?... A very low RPM Captain Stephen Force.
Summer is here!
Thursday, June 24, 2021 — #101
Summer officially started this week, and we're motoring along through the middle of prime flying season around the country.
What’s going on around general aviation in these early days of Summer?
FAA muddies the waters regarding commercial flight training’s legality.
A few months ago U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit ruled in a suit about training of pilots in rare warbirds. The court ruled that the mustang training in question was a form of commercial aviation that was prohibited by the regulations. But the also chose to indicated that this ruling would apply to a much wider range of aircraft and training types than just that one aircraft model in question. And some believe this ruling might in fact prohibit a very very wide range of flight training situations.
Many in the aviation world have been pressing the FAA to weigh in here, and clarify that this ruling did not make a wide swath of flight training against the commercial aviation regs. And the other day they made a preliminary indication, but it seems to confirm the courts prohibition. This is a kinda big deal.
While it may not prohibit all flight training, it seems to throw a wrench in the legality of many everyday flight training situations.
The FAA says they will issue their formal response in the future. Hopefully wiser heads will prevail by that time.
…the agency has taken the position that “a flight instructor who is operating (i.e. “using”) a limited category aircraft that is carrying a person (i.e. the person receiving instruction) for compensation (i.e. payment) is acting contrary to the regulation [14 CFR §91.315]” that prohibits carrying people or property for compensation or hire in a limited category aircraft. The FAA also noted that the regulations governing experimental and primary category aircraft—sections 91.319 and 91.325—mirror the language in 91.315 and therefore must be interpreted to have the same meaning and restrictions.

Two Teens, Two Cub Adventures
One of my all-time favorite aviation books is “Flight of Passage” by Rinker Buck. It’s the story of two teenage boys who fly a Piper Cub across the US in a flying adventure and coming of age.
AOPA’s website tells of two different modern-day teens who are attempting similar adventures.
18 year old Ben Templeton is working on a “100-airport, 8,300-mile journey” which began on June 1 and is ongoing.
Templeton says he hopes the trip will raise general aviation awareness among young people.
In a separate journey, 16 year old Luc Zipkin is attempting to fly from Connecticut to California and back. His flight is supported by his father, CFI Eric Zipkin who is following along in the family’s Cessna 180.
Young Zipkin says he’s doing the flight in part to raise awareness for the Young Pilots USA program. AvWeb writes, “Zipkin decided there should be an aviation organization specifically for young pilots and stressed that diversity and inclusion were paramount to growing the future pilot community.”
Pretty good fuel economy

So, there’s been a tremendous amount of conversation about the potential of small, electric-powered aircraft that could help get people get from point A to point B in a more efficient and environmentally-friendly manner. The biggest challenge these electric, vertical take-off and landing, or eVTOL, air taxis face is that while there has been a ton of product development, there’s also been very slow product adoption. However, the recent progression of a deal focused on these aircraft could change that.
Silicon Valley-based Archer Aviation has announced that United Airlines has paid a $10 million pre-delivery deposit for 100 of Archer’s Midnight model eVTOLs. This follows an initial agreement signed last February in which United agreed to order up to 200 of the aircraft from Archer.
The deal is key for two reasons. First, it moves the potential use of an air taxi from the abstract to a more concrete target of 2024. This puts pressure of the FAA to develop regulations regarding the operation of such aircraft by that time. Challenges include safety guidelines for air traffic flying at lower levels in densely populated areas. Secondly, although a number of other preliminary deals involving airlines and air taxi developers exist, United and Archer’s timeline puts added pressure on these existing deals. Throwing a competitive dynamic in the mix could help in expediting the use of air taxis by a major airline.
The 12-roter, four-passenger Midnight aircraft from Archer is projected to travel up to 60 miles on a full charge and reach speeds of up 150 mph. Half of the rotors will tilt, allowing for vertical take-offs and landings. The targeted application is seen as transporting passengers from congested urban areas to the airport. Although the actual distance will impact the price of the ticket, early projections have these flights costing about $150.
American Airlines recently reached a similar agreement with Vertical Aerospace — a company that is also working with Virgin Atlantic.

Nearly each Flight sim lover desires to have a go at their preferred flight sim sport with a flight simulator controller. These controllers are like a aspiration come true for individuals who really like flight simulation video games. Flying a aircraft is a extremely complicated task as it is. When 1 performs combat flight sims on a Computer or gaming station, the woeful absence of handling is evidently correct from the extremely beginning. A Keyboard is intended for typing messages/textual content and is terribly insufficient for flying planes. Most combat flight sims require about five-six different sorts of continuous player input and it's merely not possible to provide that kind of input with a keyboard or mouse.
The option of a flight simulator controller is dependent on the degree of handling you'd like to have over your flight sim game. A fundamental controller will do the task for a budding flight sim enthusiast, but if you are somebody who's searching for a true adrenaline rush of realistic feedback control, a much more sophisticated flight simulator controller is what you require. There are different sorts of flight sim controllers accessible in the marketplace and you only require to shop around a little bit for the perfect 1.
Thrustmaster is recognized to create some of the top controllers in the marketplace, but the other brand names are not that much behind. Generally, selecting a flight sim controller for your self is dependent on your spending budget and what you want from your controller. Attributes nevertheless, differ throughout various brand names and goods. Discovering the correct flight simulator controller for your self is merely a query of discovering the correct blend of good elements that fit your specifications. | aerospace |

Before Musk is the man behind the electrical cars, he founded SpaceX. SpaceX produced Falcon 1, that delivered RazakSat to the orbit.
I first get to know Elon Musk when I took Financial PR in the university. My teammate picked Tesla to be the star in our mock press conference for an initial public offering. Fast forward a few years later, I was searching a good biography to read. I bought Ashlee Vance's book, Elon Musk Tesla, SpaceX, and The Quest for a Fantastic Future for a light reading.
I was intrigued when Vance mentioned Malaysia a couple of times in his book. Thinking about it makes me feel proud because Malaysia involved in the early success of Musk's third baby. (Musk founded Zip2 and X.com, which is now known as PayPal before he founded SpaceX.)
Falcon 1 is an orbital launch vehicle. It is the first one that is privately-developed.
The early stages of Falcon 1's development was not filled with raining diamonds. In March 2006, the first launch failed and the rocket exploded. One year later, the second launch was a failure as well.
It got worse during the third attempt. The launch destroyed four satellites aboard, including Nasa's. Two months before the launch, in June 2008, Musk divorced his wife, Justine.
After the third launch failed, SpaceX and Tesla faced a dilemma. Both of them were running out of cash. However, when the fourth launch of Falcon 1 succeeded, raining diamond is indeed a reality. Nasa granted SpaceX a contract of 12 flights for 1.6 billion dollars.
'Falcon 1 is the first privately-developed orbital launch vehicle and RazakSat is the first satellite in the world to orbit near the Equator.'
And because of the fourth launch is a success, it became a stepping stone for Falcon 1 to deliver RazakSat to the orbit, in July 2009.
Musk said, "This marks another successful launch by the SpaceX team."
Falcon 1 was retired after the fifth launch for Space X to develop Falcon 9.
As Falcon 1 is the first privately-developed orbital launch vehicle, RazakSat is the first satellite in the world to orbit near the Equator. | aerospace |

This article aims to give a different account of the aviation industry by showing how Aboriginal Australians provided essential infrastructure: as available labour, and also importantly for their specific expertise about the terrain and knowledge of weather patterns. The article focuses on the period from the 1930s to the 1940s and the small aviation outpost of Daly Waters in the Northern Territory. It outlines how Aboriginal labour was used to prepare and maintain airstrips and provide crucial support for the aviation industry. It was through local knowledge and the labour of the Aboriginal people that the aviation industry in Australia could operate and expand, and in many instances, ensure the safety of those flying.

Here’s a memorable scene recreating the landing:
Math Scenario 1 – Which Airport Can You Make?
The best possible glide ratio of an Airbus A320 is 17 to 1. That means with the engine out, with conditions optimal, the aircraft can move forward 17 units of distance for every 1 unit of distance it falls – which is pretty good considering the plane is meant to only ever fly powered.
Using the concept of glide ratio, we can work out whether, without power, it’s even possible for a pilot to reach an airport before the plane crashes.
In a crash situation, the plane is often not operating under ideal “glide” conditions – so let’s assume the glide ratio on a damaged A320 might be more like 10. Let’s assume this plane is at 2800 feet when it hits the birds – just like the real A320 that eventually landed on the Hudson River.
There are two airports in the picture above. Airport 1 is directly in the current flight path of the plane. Airport 2 is off to the side, and will require the plane to turn, using up valuable altitude in doing so.
Can the pilot make Airport 1?
First we need to do some conversion to get everything in the same units:
Altitude in metres = 2800 ft * 0.3 m/ft
Altitude in metres = 840 m
The pilot can theoretically reach airport 1 if the glide ratio of 10 enables them to cover the horizontal distance (10 km) before they hit the ground.
Altitude loss travelling 10 km over the ground = distance / glide ratio
Altitude loss travelling 10 km over the ground = 10 km / 10
Altitude loss travelling 10 km over the ground = 1 km
1 km > 840 m !!!
Unfortunately the plane will lose 1 km of altitude when travelling 10 km – which is more altitude than it has. So Airport 1 isn’t reachable.
Can the pilot make Airport 2?
To make it to airport 2, the pilot will need to make a 90 degree turn and then follow a straight line to the airport. Let’s assume that after the pilot makes the turn, they will still have 7 km to get to the airport.
First we need to work out the radius of the quarter circle turn.
The formula for turn radius for a plane is:
Theta is the banking angle, g is gravity, and v is the speed over the ground of the plane
The real aircraft was going about 350 km/hr when it was hit, so let’s use that amount. Let’s also use a bank angle of 30 degrees, more than usual but possible with the aircraft. We need to make sure all the units are consistently in metres and seconds:
So we have a distance of one quarter of a circle with radius 1669 metres to travel, followed by another 7000 m.
Total distance = 0.25 * PI * d + 7000
Total distance = 0.25 * 3.1415 * 2 * 1669 + 7000
Total distance = 9621 metres
Can the pilot make it? We can calculate the altitude drop over this distance:
Altitude loss travelling 9.621 km over the ground = distance / glide ratio
Altitude loss travelling 9.621 km over the ground = 9.621 km / 10
Altitude loss travelling 9.621 km over the ground = 0.9621 km
962 m > 840 m !!!
Looks like Airport 2 is not reachable either – it’s a better bet than airport 1 but the calculations show that the plane would still crash before reaching the airport.
Math Scenario 2 – Dumping Fuel
If a plane needs to make a forced landing, they sometimes fly around dumping fuel to reduce the weight of the aircraft before a possibly hazardous landing.
If you’re a pilot in a Boeing 747 that is going to make a landing without landing gear, you might choose to dump fuel.
Let’s say you have 47 tonnes of fuel left in your tanks, and the plane can dump fuel at a rate of 1.5 tonnes per minute. Let’s also say you’re losing altitude at a rate of 0.3 km / minute and you’re currently at an altitude of 11.5 km.
Can you jettison all the fuel before you land?
Time to dump fuel = tonnes of fuel / tonnes dumped per minute
Time to dump fuel = 47 / 1.5
Time to dump fuel = 31.33 minutes
You’re also losing altitude at a rate of 0.3 km/hr. We can either calculate how long you have before you have to land, or you can work out how much altitude you’ll lose in 31.33 minutes. Let’s do the second one:
Altitude lost in 31.33 minutes = time * altitude loss rate
Altitude lost in 31.33 minutes = 31.33 * 0.3
Altitude lost in 31.33 minutes = 9.4 km
9.4 km < 11.5 km… phew!
Looks like you’ll still have about 2 km to spare in altitude after you’ve dumped all of your fuel.
Math Scenario 3 – Firefighters to the Rescue
In case your plane does crash badly, the nearest firefighters have been called to the airport you’re targeting in scenario 2. They take 5 minutes to get ready, and then can drive at an average speed of 30 km/hr to reach the airport (there’s a lot of traffic).
Can the firefighters travel the 10 km to the airport from their base and reach it in time for your crash landing?
Time left to drive = 31.33 – 5
Time left to drive = 26.33 minutes
Distance travelled = time duration * average speed
Distance travelled = 26.33 minutes * 30 km / hr / (60 min / hr)
Distance travelled = 13.17 km

Also listed by the regulatory agency were Associated Aviation Limited, Chanchangi Airlines Limited, Hak Air Limited, King Airlines and Travel Limited and Skyjet Aviation Services Limited.
A document obtained from the regulatory agency indicated that 38 airlines were issued and re-issued AOCs between February 3, 2016 and January 9, 2019.
Out of the numbers, eight of them had expired, suspended and not-active AOCs, which had prevented them from operating either as scheduled or chartered flight operators.
Among the affected carriers were non-scheduled, scheduled, cargo and charter flight operators.
For Topbrass Aviation, the document revealed that the airline with the AOC certificate number: TBA/AOC/11-11/03 had, which was issued on February 3, 2016 and expired on February 2, 2018, failed to renew the certificate. Topbrass Aviation was with the status non-scheduled before the expiration of the certificate.
Recalled that the management of Topbrass Aviation had been having a running battle with NCAA over two aircraft it leased, but allegedly refused to act according to the leasing agreements.
The aircraft, Bombardier Dash-8 Q300s with the registration numbers 5N-MSN 61TBB and 5N-TBC MSN 614 are currently issues of litigation in the Federal High Court.
Another airline on the list is FirstNation Airways, which suspended flight operations about two years ago after it could not lease an aircraft to boost its flight operations.
The airline with the AOC certificate number: FNA/AOC/10-11/02 was re-issued AOC on July 31, 2017 and was expected to remain active till July 30, 2019, but it’s with the status “not-active” on the NCAA document and was downgraded to non-scheduled operator from a scheduled status it was about three years ago.
Also listed among the airlines with not-active AOCs was Kabo Airlines, which does annual hajj operations to Saudi Arabia.
The airline with the AOC number: KAL/AOC/01-15/01, was issued with the certificate on January 30, 2017, but became “not-active” on January 29, 2019.
As at the time of filing this report, it was not clear if the airline had commenced renewal of its AOC, as preparation had reached the top gear for the 2019 annual hajj exercise to Saudi Arabia.
Besides, another carrier on the list was Hak Air, which in 2013 acquired five Boeing 737 aircraft for domestic operations, but was yet to spread its wrings six years later.
Some of the acquired aircraft are at the airside of the Murtala Muhammed Airport (MMA), Lagos.
According to the document, Hak Air with the AOC registration number: HAK/AOC/04-12/001, was issued thee AOC on July 24, 2017, while it would expire on July 23, 2019.
The document revealed that while the AOC was still current, it remained “not-active for the airline with the current status of non-scheduled.
Besides, Chanchangi Airlines, which suspended flight operations about seven years ago, also had a “not-active: status in its AOC with the number: AAF/006.
The document revealed that the airline’s AOC, which was renewed in February 5, 2017, expired on February 4, 2019. The carrier’s promoter, Alhaji Amadu Chanchangi, had died in April 2017chairman of Chanchangi Airlines.
Others were Associated Aviation, which crashed 31 seconds after takeoff at the Murtala Muhammed Airport in 2013.
The status of the airline stated that its AOC with the mark: ASS/AOC/06-15/001 was suspended by the regulatory agency.
The last AOC issued it was on June 20, 2017 and was supposed to run till June 19, 2019. The airline was registered as a non-scheduled operator by the regulatory agency.
Also, the document revealed that NCAA had renewed and issued AOCs to two airlines in 2019. The first one was Aero Contractors with the certificate number: ACN/AOC/12-12/08.
The AOC was re-issued the carrier on January 2, 2019 and would remain valid till January 1, 2021 as a scheduled, cargo and charter flight operator.
The other airline issued AOC in 2019 was ANAP Business Jets. The airline was issued on January 9, 2019 and would remain valid till January 8, 2021. The current status is non-scheduled operator.
Other airlines like Air Peace, Arik Air, Allied Air, Azman Air, Bristow Helicopters, Caverton Helicopters, Dana Air, Executive Jet, General Global Aviation, Max Air, Med-View Airline, OAS Helicopters, Omni-Blu Aviation, Overland Airways, West Link Airways and Quroum Aviation all have valid AOCs with “active” statuses.

More recently, a growing number of countries are pursuing military uses of space. India conducted an anti-satellite weapons test in March 2019 and Iran launched its first military satellite launch in April. In its reorganization in 2015, the Chinese PLA established the Strategic Support Force, which handles the fields of space, cyber, and the electromagnetic spectrum. Russia also set up an independent Space Force in the same year. In response to these developments, France established the Space Command in September 2019, and the U.S. organized the Space Force last December.
In January 2007, China carried out an anti-satellite destruction test using anti-satellite weapons (ASAT), triggering the development of space as a warfighting domain in the post-Cold War era. China needed to build asymmetric capabilities in space and cyberspaceas a response to an expected contingency in the Taiwan Strait. This test created a large amount of space debris and was met with intense international criticism. Although space was used militarily for decades during the Cold War, both the U.S. and the Soviet Union refrained from these kinds of tests because careless physical attacks could have a significant impact on all operations in space. However, China, which is pursuing a strategy of asymmetric warfare, has set foot into this “sanctuary,” and forced the United States to recognize the vulnerability of its space system.
The promise of new prosperity
Space has enormous potential for not only the development of science and technology, but also for economic growth. Globalized society is increasingly dependent on the space system, and Japan is participating in the U.S.-led Artemis Program, which aims to explore lunar space. China, which aspires to global economic leadership, is also moving to make use of cislunar space, and is expected to work with Russia. Non-military competition in acquiring growth resources in space has already begun through the development and use of relevant technologies. Next-generation information and communications technology (ICT), quantum computing and other such technologies will reduce the vulnerability of space systems.
As space becomes a more important resource, increasing the resilience of space systems has become an urgent issue. There were about 20,000 pieces of space debris as of November 2019, and more players are set to enter the field with new business models that use a constellation of small, cheaper satellites. As a result, “congestion” in space is expected to become more serious. Furthermore, in addition to kinetic threats like ASAT and physical deterioration, non-kinetic threats like cyberattacks and laser obstruction are becoming more dangerous. The vulnerability of space systems will inevitably increase.
In the June 2020 U.S. Defense Space Strategy, China and Russia are labelled as the biggest operational threats to the U.S. in outer space, and are designated as parties who have weaponized space and turned it into an area of great power competition. Both China and Russia, which prioritize their own usage of space, are criticized for trying to prevent other countries from freely utilizing space.
Space is becoming a less stable environment, even as it holds the promise of becoming a new source of human prosperity.
The resilience of the space system
There are growing signs that space is being utilized for security as the concept of the battlefield has changed with advances in technology.Technologies to address air and missile threats are a clear example of this. The accuracy and reliability of ballistic missile defense (BMD) systems has improved in recent years, but developments in offensive technologies have outpaced this progress. China and Russia are developing flying object threats that overwhelm defensive reaction capability in Western countries. Hypersonic glide vehicles (HGV), for example, travel at Mach 5 or higher, and missile threats with orbital change capabilities are difficult to intercept.
U.S. officials recognize the difficulty in tracking and dealing with Chinese or Russian hypersonic missiles, weapons that could be mounted with nuclear warheads. Discussions in the U.S. are now focused on the development of a space-based sensor systems, like Proliferated Low Earth orbital (PLEO) constellations. Officials have also studied a space-based ballistic interception function and a directed energy weapon for intercepting missiles. There is a new focus on addressing threats that are difficult to detect and track on the ground, such as weapons that fly at hypersonic speeds, by monitoring and warning systems in space. At the same time, Russia and China are rushing to develop and deploy HGVs, like the Avangard and Dongfeng 17 (DF17), so it is urgent that democratic countries establish effective and timely countermeasures.
Since 2003, Japan has been developing a multi-layered BMD system through steps like equipping Aegis ships with ballistic missile response capabilities and deploying Patriot (PAC-3) missiles. But the government recently announced that it would abandon the deployment of two land-based Aegis systems (Aegis Ashore), which were intended to improve Japan’s protective capabilities. The government now needs to clarify how it intends to deal with evolving airborne threats like HGVs, and how it will implement a comprehensive defense system while still considering cost-effectiveness. Considering the importance of the Japan-U.S. alliance and multilateral security cooperation, a global perspective that includes “multilateral deterrence” of and joint responses to airborne threats to space utilization is also needed.
The battle between offensive and defensive equipment and technology is an unending competition. As one gains superiority, the other redoubles its efforts and races to surpass it. Because all progress in these fields is relative, the competition among nations in space is one with no end in sight.
Japan's path forward
In Japan, the Strategic Headquarters for Space Development laid out a new Basic Plan on Space Policy on June 29, which was approved by the Cabinet on June 30. It calls for Japan to become an independent space power through cooperation with allies, strengthening its industrial and science technology infrastructure and expanding the scope of its space utilization. Additionally, the rapid development of dual-use technologies that have both civilian and military applications requires cooperation among industry, government and academia to guarantee the Mission Assurance of the space system. It is crucial that the industrial and science technology foundations that support Japan’s independent space activities be rebuilt, and that technologies that enable flexible responses and cross-sectional management be developed.
Protecting the global commons of space is an important mission for both the international community and for individual nations. All need to fulfill their responsibility to guard the space system against risks and threats, and maintain it as a sustainable and stable domain.
In the famous novel Alice Through the Looking Glass, the Red Queen advises Alice that “It takes all the running you can do, to keep in the same place". Japan, in cooperation with the international community, must keep running to eliminate vulnerabilities in the space system and strengthen its resilience. Strengthening resilience is the only way to guard against increasing threats to the existing system, but their rapid evolution means that will be very challenging. | aerospace |

While the gravity on Mars is lower than that on Earth, there is increased solar radiation, temperature cycles, and the high internal forces needed for pressurized habitats to contain air. , See also Effects of high altitude on humans, One of the challenges for a Mars habitat is for it to maintain suitable temperatures in the right places in a habitat. One idea is combine this technology to with Solar Electric Propulsion to achieve a lower mass that the surface solar power. , A Mars habitat might exist in the context of a human expedition, outpost, or colony on Mars.. Students will take the lead on research, design, and building. Martian exploration and settlement at any meaningful and sustainable scale will depend on the utilization of materials found on Mars. , Examples of Mars surface temperatures:. That bacteria is known to survive in extremely cold and dry conditions on Earth, so might provide a basis for bioengineering Mars into a more habitable place. At the top, the bright "sky room" is dedicated to informal recreational uses and exercise.

Earth-moving equipment). PLA is prized for its low conductivity and basalt is among the most effective insulators known. Historically, space missions tend to have a non-growing food supply eating out of set amount of rations like Skylab, replenished with resupply from Earth. The Mars habitat would have support the conditions of this food source, possible incorporating elements from greenhouse design or farming. “Another construction challenge was the lack of overhead support structures and form work to … new york-based architecture and technology company AI spaceFactory presents marsha (MARS HAbitat), a 3D-printed visionary verticle housing on mars… , The DLR found that some lichen and bacteria could survive in simulated Martian conditions, including air composition, pressure, and solar radiation spectrum. The design for the Mars Habitat outlines plans for a settlement constructed by an array of pre-programmed, semi-autonomous robots prior to the eventual arrival of the astronauts. Alternatively, the habitat may be placed underground, which helps solve some problems but creates new difficulties. , On Earth, plants that utilize the C4 photosynthesis reaction account for 3% of flowering plant species but 23% of carbon that is fixed, and includes species popular for human consumption including corn (aka maize) and sugar cane; certain types of plants may be more productive at producing food for a given amount of light. Some possible areas of needed technology or expertise: A Mars habitat is often conceived as part of an ensemble of Mars base and infrastructure technologies. Students will design and build a Mars Habitat using junk materials. And yesterday, NASA crowned the top three winnersof the Challenge’s latest round, challenging the participating teams to “complete a virtual construction level.” The top three teams, which split a prize of $100,000, hail from New York, Arkansas, and New Haven — a… Getting humans to Mars is becoming one of the great challenges of our time. ISRU circumvents the hard limits of the rocket equationâwherein every 10 pounds of rocket needs roughly 90 pounds of propellant. , At about 28 miles (45 km, 150 thousand feet ) Earth altitude the pressure starts to be equivalent to Mars surface pressure. Due to their low overall atomic weight, plastics are effective shields for ionizing cosmic radiation. Mars habitats must contend with surface conditions that include almost no oxygen in the air, extreme cold, low pressure, and high radiation. Another NASA project that has developed extraterrestrial surface habitats is the X-Hab challenge and the Habitation Systems Project. That was in 2014. Long term permanent habitats require much more volume (i.e. Taken to an extreme, the question remains just how a low a pressure could a plant survive in and still be useful. , One challenge is the extreme cost of building materials for Mars, which by the 2010s was estimated be about US$2 million per brick to the surface of Mars. Another issue is waste management. , One unique structural force that Mars habitats must contend with if pressurized to Earth's atmosphere, is the force of air on the inside walls. A prototype for this capability was tested on the International Space Station in 2010. They should bear in mind that the Moon has greater temperature changes and no atmosphere for protection but is closer to Earth. Some of the challenges for solar power include a reduction in solar intensity because Mars is farther from the sun, dust accumulation, and periodic dust storms, in addition to the usual challenges of solar power such as storing power for the night-time. , To contend with these constraints, architects have worked to understand the right balance between in-situ materials and construction, and ex-situ to Mars. Possibilities include covering structures with ice or soil, excavating subterranean spaces or sealing the ends of an existing lava tube. Humans require a pressurized environment at all times and protection from the toxic Martian atmosphere. , A study published in 2016 showed that cryptoendolithic fungi survived for 18 months in simulated Mars conditions. Polar locations in winter −195 degrees F (−125 degrees C). Considerations for maintaining the environment in a closed system included, removal of carbon dioxide, maintaining air pressure, supply of oxygen, temperature and humidity, and stopping fires. Students Design Space Habitat Concepts for Mars. MARSHA's functional areas are spread over four levels identified by a unique interior atmosphere that encourages mobility and averts monotony. This document provides an executive summary of the key findings and conclusions of Paragon’s work to-date. Later missions tended to shift to a dedicated descent/ascent with a separate habitat. This type of habitat is too large and heavy to be sent to Mars, and must be constructed making use of some local resource. Plants noted for colonizing the barren landscape in the aftermath of the Mt Saint Helen's eruption included Asteraceae and Epilobium, and especially Lupinus lepidus for its (symbiotic) ability to fix its own nitrogen. This has been estimated at over 2,000 pounds per square foot for a pressurized habitat on the surface of Mars, which is radically increased compared to Earth structures. In addition, consultations with Earth would be hampered by a 7 to 40 minute time lag. An alternative may be to build above ground, but use thick ice to shield from radiation but with advantage that it lets visible light in. At ground level, the "garage" is the interface with external systems and explorative activities with a supporting wet lab. Foster + Partners New York is one of 30 finalists in Mars Habitat design competition. In 2013 ZA architects proposed having digging robots build a Mars habitat underground. The idea of living in lava tubes has been suggest later, noted for its potential to provide increased protection from radiation, temperature fluctuation, Martian sunlight, etc. , To convert the entirety of Mars into a biodome directly, scientists have suggested the cyanobacteria Chroococcidiopsis. , In 1999, NASA's Johnson Space Center published Medical Aspects of Exploration Missions as part of the Decadal Survey. A small and light habitat can be transported to Mars and used immediately. An example of a crop NASA tested growing at lower pressure is lettuce, and in another test green beans were grown at a standard air pressure, but in low Earth orbit inside the International Space Station. , An example of regolith simulant is Martian regolith simulant (further information about Mars analogs List of Mars analogs), One example concept that is or is in support of habitat is a Mars biodome, a structure that could hold life generating needed oxygen and food for humans. It has been estimated that sixteen feet (5 meters) of Mars regolith stops the same amount of radiation as Earth's atmosphere. First, they will need to decide whether to build their habitat on Mars or the Moon, because the design requirements will differ w4. Design: Foster + Partners. The disc, both a memorial to the past and a message to the future, took 15 years to produce. One of the challenges for Mars habitats is maintaining the climate, especially the right temperature in the right places. On the third level are the individual cabins, sanitation pod, and hydroponic garden. , At about 150 thousand feet of altitude (28 miles (45 km)) on Earth, the atmospheric pressure starts to be equivalent to the surface of Mars. The Phoenix lander, which landed on the North polar surface of Mars in 2008, included a DVD library that was heralded as the first library on Mars. But since sustained social and mental health are also mission critical, MARSHA offers elements of surprise and literal room for the crew to slip outside of an overly prescriptive existence. The situation would be similar to the International Space Station, where individuals receive an unusually high amount of radiation for a short duration and then leave. 245 GHz, laser, in-situ rectenna construction, and 5.8 GHz designs have been studied. In 2010 the Space Launch System, or growth variants therefore, is envisioned as having the payload capacity and qualities needed for human Mars missions, utilizing the Orion capsule. And there’s a window every Mars year — every 26 months, at a time called a Mars opposition when Mars is close to the Earth. Being a bioplastic, emissions from PLA printing are benign, unlike petrochemical plastics which emit high levels of toxic micro-particles such as styrene. Foster + Partners New York’s design for a modular habitat on Mars has been shortlisted amongst 30 finalists for the 3D Printed Habitat Challenge organised by America Makes and NASA. While one carbon dioxide scrubber filters the astronaut's air, the other can vent scrubbed CO2 to the Mars atmosphere, once that process is completed another one can be used, and the one that was used can take a break. Team LavaHive was awarded third place honors for their Mars habitat design. Design Research - NASA Mars Habitat Published on Dec 21, 2019 This is a senior thesis project part 1: focus on the design researches of a mission to travel to Mars. PLA is a strong thermoplastic that is recyclable yet and has the added benefit of in-situ manufacture. Marsha, AI SpaceFactoryâs Mars habitat design, illustrates that the result can be both visionary and credible with an alien yet familiar beauty. MARSHA employs a unique dual-shell scheme to isolate the habitable spaces from the structural stresses brought on by Marsâs extreme temperature swings. The effect of radiation on stored pharmaceuticals and medical technology would have to be taken into account also. In this case the atmosphere only partially disintegrated the meteor before it struck the surface.. In the next step, the water is split into hydrogen and oxygen, with the oxygen and methane being used for a Methane-Oxygen rocket engine, and the hydrogen could be re-used. Compared to others, their design looks downright luxurious. The study noted two plants, duckweed (Lemna minor) and water fern (Azolla filiculoides), as particularly suitable, and they grow on the surface of water. Missions present stresses and challenges that must be addressed spatially, reflecting the strict flow of tasks typical of space missions. MARS X-HOUSE is the first place winner in 100% Virtual Design within NASA’s Phase 3 3D-Printed Habitat Challenge. However, the amount of energy required to transfer material to the surface of Mars is an additional task beyond simply getting into orbit. , One idea for a Mars habitat is to use a Martian cave or lava tube, and an inflatable air-lock was proposed by Caves of Mars Project for making use of such a structure. Now the students can begin to design and even build their own space habitat. , In the 2010s it was determined that something struck the surface of Mars, creating a spattering pattern of larger and smaller craters between 2008 and 2014. The hydrogen can be combined with carbon dioxide to make plastics or methane for rocket fuel. A medical risk for a Mars surface mission is how, after several months in zero gravity, they astronauts will handle operations on the surface. There can be large temperature swings on Mars, for example at the equator it may reach 70 degrees F (20 degrees C) in the daytime but then go down to minus 100 degrees F (−73 C) at night. So how autonomous is 3D printed construction, really? Day Two: Print out a habitat. The full technical report is readily available from Mars One’s website. However, the planet does reduce the radiation significantly especially on the surface, and it is not detected to be radioactive itself. In the final challenge contestants had 30 hours to build 1/3 scale models using robotic construction technology. The design uses concrete from Martian regolith, printed within a pressurized chamber to protect it from the dramatic temperature changes and dust storms of Mars as it cures. A Mars habitat is a place that humans can live in on Mars. Alternatively, the habitat may be placed underground, which helps solve some problems but creates new difficulties. This separation makes the interior environment unbeholden to the conservativism required of the outer shell, which retains its simple and effective form. One concern on Mars is the effect of the fine Martian dust working its way into the living quarters or devices. So NASA held a contest for the best 3D-printed habitat that might actually work on Mars. The Phoenix library DVD would be taken by future explorers who could access the content on the disk. NASA has studied nuclear-power fission systems in the 2010s for Mars surface missions. This process requires a large input of energy, so an appropriate power source would be needed in addition to the reactants. Iron has also been suggested as a building material for 3D printed Mars habitats. Two European teams were awarded runner up prizes. Without ISRU the cost of importing materials from Earth renders the project of extraterrestrial futures impossible. Habitation systems provide a safe place for astronauts in space and on other worlds to achieve NASA’s human exploration goals, with integrated life support systems, radiation protection, fire safety, and systems to … SEArch+ won NASA's Centennial Challenge for a 3D-Printed Habitat for their proposal, Mars … The tall, narrow structure reduces the need for a construction machine to continuously rove on the surface, reducing risk and increasing speed and accuracy. There were 30 finalists selected from an initial pool of 165 entries in the habitat challenge. A Mars habitat is a place that humans can live in on Mars. , In 2016, NASA awarded the first prize of its In-Situ Materials Challenge to University of Southern California engineering professor Behrokh Khoshnevis "for Selective Separation Sintering -- a 3D-printing process that makes use of powder-like materials found on Mars." Imagine having to survive on another planet: Mars! Mars habitat design can also involve the study of local conditions, including pressures, temperatures, and local materials, especially water.. Mars habitats must contend with surface conditions that include almost no oxygen in the air, extreme cold, low pressure, and high radiation. Learn a Mars Habitat Design lesson plan that can be adapted for grades 3-12. ... offering new ways to s upport future space exploration as well as assessing through scale d prototypes the explored design solutions for the Mars habitat and the emergency astronaut module. Barchania Alpha was a finalist of Mars City Design Challenges 2016.. This is enabled by in-situ resource utilization (ISRU) technologies. It's comparable to carbon fiber and kevlar yet much simpler to produce. For very small crews its difficult to treat a wide range issues with advanced care, whereas with a team with an overall size of 12–20 on Mars there could be multiple doctors and nurses, in addition to EMT-level certifications. The dust is very fine and accumulates on solar panels, amongst other surfaces. See also Argox, for the argon breathing gas mixture used in scuba diving, A concept to scrub CO2 from the breathing air is to use re-usable amine bead carbon dioxide scrubbers. We have a project guide, activities, and interactive planning tools that guides teams from brainstorming to building! , In September 2015, NASA announced the winners of its 3-D Printed Habitat Challenge. One concern is to stop what would otherwise be a minor injury becoming life-threatening due to restrictions on the amount of medical equipment, training, and the time-delay in communication with Earth. A response to a message takes that time, the delay processing the message and creating a reply, plus the time for that message to travel to Mars (another 4 to 24 minutes). Other Mars analog studies include Mars Desert Research Station and Arctic Mars Analog Svalbard Expedition, The ISS has also been described as a predecessor to Mars expedition, and in relation to a Mars habitat the study importance and nature of operation a closed system was noted. They chose an interior inspired by Fingal's Cave and noted the increased protection from high-energy radiation below ground. The first stage is a design only, then in the next stage a construction technology based using discarded spacecraft components is conducted, and finally building an actual habitat for Mars using 3D printing technology. , For a 500-day crewed Mars mission NASA has studied using solar power and nuclear power for its base, as well as power storage systems (e.g. The planned Mars 2020 mission includes Mars Oxygen ISRU Experiment (MOXIE), which would convert Mars carbon dioxide into oxygen. Keep in mind that you don’t need to be an expert on Mars! (see also Igloo), In June 2018, NASA selected the top ten finalists of Phase 3: Level 1 in the 3D-Printed Habitat Challenge. A full settlement may be able to achieve the same level of care as a contemporary Earth hospital. During the late 1960s, the United States produced the Saturn V rocket, which was capable of launching enough mass into orbit required for a single-launch trip holding a crew of three to the surface of the Moon and back again. , In early 2015 NASA outlined a conceptual plan for three stage Mars habitat design and construction award program. AI SpaceFactory's "MARSHA" Mars Habitat just won NASA's 3-D Printed Habitat Challenge. , In 2015 the SHEE project noted the idea of autonomous construction and preparation for Mars habitat versus human construction. This would reduce the structural demands of maintaining air pressure, but require the relevant plants to survive at that lower pressure. Some examples include Mars EVA suits, Mars rover, aircraft, landers, storage tanks, communication structures, mining, and Mars-movers (e.g. : SCIENCE", "NASA Awards Top Three Design Finalists in 3D Printed Habitat Challenge | NASA", "MARS ICE HOUSE - Clouds Architecture Office", "3D-printed ice habitat concept for Mars draws acclaim from NASA", "Top 10 Mars habitats from NASA space habitat challenge", "NASA - eXploration Habitat (X-Hab) Academic Innovation Challenge", "NASA - Habitation Systems Project - NASA's Deep Space Habitat", 3D-printed bubble house proposed for living on Mars, "Meet the man working with NASA to 3D print a colony on Mars", "A New Home on Mars: NASA Langley's Icy Concept for Red Planet Living", "Top 10 Teams Selected in Virtual Stage of 3D-Printed Habitat Challenge", "Here's the Winner of NASA's 3D-Printed Mars Habitat Challenge", "Mock Mars mission: Utah habitat simulates life on red planet", "Biosphere II Project facts, information, pictures | Encyclopedia.com articles about Biosphere II Project", "Lessons Learned from Biosphere 2 and Laboratory Biosphere Closed Systems Experiments for the Mars On Earth Project", "Need Oxygen On Mars? A short term stay on the surface of Mars does not require a habitat to have a large volume or complete shielding from radiation. One idea for supporting a Mars habitat is to extract subterranean water, which, with sufficient power, could then be split into hydrogen and oxygen, with the intention of mixing the oxygen with nitrogen and argon for breathable air.

Kobelco PVD coating is used on tools for machining such materials that have high hardness and are difficult to cut to help improve cutting performance and extend tool service life.
Our proprietary PVD coating system can form (ta-C) film with diamond-like hardness and achieve thick films of 30 μm or more. In addition, it can add properties such as wear resistance, erosion resistance, oxidation resistance, and lubricity, so it can improve durability not only on tools but also aircraft parts.
Kobelco's own AIP® thick metal nitride film
A thick film with high hardness was difficult to achieve with conventional coating technology.
AIP® metal nitride film can have a high hardness, but it cannot be thick.
Chromium nitride film can be thick, but it does not have a high hardness (because to make it thick, the hardness needs to be reduced to reduce compression stress). Kobelco developed its own film to solve these issues. AIP® thick metal nitride film combines high hardness with thickness, and it has already been applied in various industries, including the aviation industry, with a proven track record.
Jet Engine Blisk
A blisk is an aviation part that integrates the engine turbine blades and disk. Integrating the parts has the advantage of reducing the assembly man-hours and number of parts, creating a lightweight part for improved maximum output and fuel efficiency and lower carbon dioxide emissions, and reducing the risk of cracking (because there are no joints between parts), but the blades cannot be individually replaced, increasing maintenance costs.
Erosion, which occurs when water droplets collide with the turbine blades, can increase the frequency of maintenance and blade replacement, and controlling the occurrence of erosion is an important issue for reducing maintenance and costs. Kobelco is able to create PVD film with excellent erosion resistance. Coating the surface of the blades improves durability. | aerospace |
https://safeblog.org/2022/01/02/inadvertent-imc-level-wings-climb/ | 2023-05-31T09:26:35 | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-23/segments/1685224646457.49/warc/CC-MAIN-20230531090221-20230531120221-00359.warc.gz | 0.956729 | 6,068 | CC-MAIN-2023-23 | webtext-fineweb__CC-MAIN-2023-23__0__62090617 | en | Any pilot caught in “inadvertent IMC” usually got into this trouble somewhat intentionally, continuing into deteriorating weather with some hope of improvement or “getting through.” This continued flight, usually driven by “mission mentality,” often gets lower (and scarier) until continuing visual flight is impossible (CFIT is often associated with these accidents). But what happens next usually kills pilots. 2/3s of both IFR-rated and VFR die when they try to turn around without visual references; they lose control or run into terrain while maneuvering. A 180 degree turn immediately after entering inadvertent IMC seems unwise for a panicked and unprepared pilot (even IFR rated). But pilot training and testing often still recommends an immediate 180-degree turn as “the FAA solution to an IMC encounter”- and it is airplane handbooks everywhere. Actually, a 180 turn for IMC escape is *not* in the ACS or any FAA guidance I could find! The newest FAA Airplane Flying Handbook also now recommends all IFR turns (for pilot emergencies and in training/testing) be limited to a maximum of 10 degrees of bank.
This “boiler-plate” recommendation is > 60 years old and based on very limited data available at the time. This advice also predates the FAA requirement for every private pilot to have 3 hours of instrument training (and computer simulators). The 180-degree turn using a clock (with a sweep second hand) also seems to even predate gyro instruments in GA planes? Technically, applicants for flight tests are instructed to follow their POH guidance (required for check rides).
A turn before entering IMC is wise – avoidance! A turn immediately after entering IMC seems like poor risk management given the GAJSC data. A pilot in this scud-running scenario is usually low and in a panic. Getting control (level) and getting away from terrain (climb) creates time to calm down and determine the best course of action (and it might be a 180 is a good idea when you have settled down and achieved control – but not immediately). There is no clear source of this flight training dogma but the first mention might be a 1954 AOPA study with Bonanzas? After that, it seems have migrated from “avoidance to escape” and become part of some many flight manuals.
The FAA guidance on surviving inadvertent IMC is first recognizing and accepting the failure of visual reference to control the plane by committing to flight on the instruments – entirely! Then definitely do not make (or teach) an immediate 180 turn; job #1 is achieving and maintaining control. Flying level is safest (if the terrain is not an issue). My personal advice (having watched many pilots attempt that immediate 180 degree turn) is to initially stare at the attitude indicator while you calm yourself, carefully keeping the wings level. “Stare” works best because an inexperienced pilot “scanning” can often result in fixation and LOC-I too. (Personal simulators have helped greatly with these IFR skills though)
The pilot should make a conscious effort to relax. The pilot needs to understand the most important concern—in fact the only concern at this point—is to keep the wings level. FAA Airplane Flying Handbook
The modern age of YouTube confessions enables a look at an actual “inadvertent VFR into IMC” that worked out. This IFR-rated pilot admits to panic and confusion entering the clouds. To his credit he used all his resources; autopilot and ATC. He climbed, continued straight and was able to sort out the situation without resorting to sudden and inappropriate maneuvering.
Once a pilot is calmed down (trimmed and breathing again) some cross-checking is valuable. In most cases, the best next action is a smooth, stable climb away from the terrain (while maintaining control) since the terrain is often a threat. This maneuver is often emotionally difficult since this same pilot was just previously avoiding clouds. But now it’s time to avoid rocks. Accepting the emergency and climbing away from terrain in most cases is critical to survival. Finally, as control becomes more comfortable and a safe altitude is achieved, seeking help with a radar facility is important. There is a reason this is required on the flight test. Learning division of attention is essential to aircraft control. Every pilot must be cautious and assertive about flying the plane first (within your level of safety) when talking with ATC. Unfortunately, not every controller can understand the gravity of your predicament (SAFE has good people working on this). Flying the aircraft under control is your first priority. This video from AOPA with Rod Machado recommending flight training in real weather pertains to this situation (and also last week’s blog.)
SAFE Executive Director Emeritus, Doug Stewart, is working with the GAJSC to codify a new “IMC escape maneuver” that specifies a wings level climb. This was also advocated in an AOPA article in 2005. Usually, a pilot in these inadvertent IMC situations has usually gotten increasingly lower while avoiding clouds and CFIT is a significant hazard. Let’s eliminate the “immediate 180 turn” advice and save pilots who blunder into clouds. Level wings, maintain control (breathe), and climb; no turning?! Fly safely out there (and often).

31 thoughts on “Inadvertent IMC: Level Wings, Climb!”
Thank You for writing this up for me. I remember asking you this question when we met in Florida last year.
It was something’s by that has bothered me for almost 30 years now. I hope it saves someone’s life.
Doing the turn with the hope ‘maybe no one will notice’ has gotten so many people killed… and yes, we noticed. Leveling the wings, climbing, and calling for help is always the best answer.
Calling for help may be embarrassing… but at least you are alive.
I honestly can’t remember reading the 180 turn any where, but I do remember as a student long ago, shaking my head up and down with acceptance that this was the proper response to entering IMC without thinking through the problem.
After the Bryant helicopter crash, seeing the attempted 180, I began to ask students, pilots, instructors, and DPEs, what should I do if I enter IMC? Everyone I asked almost immediately said they would do a 180… really… like the impossible 180 for an engine out, even if you could fly this perfect coordinated 180, you will not be at the same place you entered the clouds or IMC, even worse… you now don’t know what is in front of you. You are likely now completely lost. You were flying low already and now you don’t know what is in front of you. And if that isn’t bad enough, the turn will likely bring on vertigo if you changed the aircraft flight condition without looking at the artificial horizon first.
Leveling the wings is the only thing that makes logical sense. At least you had an idea as to what was in front of you. A slow climb if required is the only thing you should be doing as you try to communicate with ATC for help.
Yes, squawk 7700… it is an emergency! This sets off alarms for ATC to immediately see you and get everyone away from you. Bonus… now you don’t have to worry about another plane crashing into you, And… now ATC is looking to contact you. If you don’t know, or don’t feel comfortable looking for the correct frequency… 121.5 is where they will be looking for you. Yes, now you don’t have to search for the appropriate ATC frequency. Easy!
And here is the best reason for admitting you screwed up… if you admit the screw up and ATC helps you, it is very unlikely they will take action against you, because they will want you at the ATC awards ceremony for the controller that helped save your life… because they likely did.
For all these reasons… level the wings with eyes on the artificial horizon, climb if needed (it likely is if you were scud running) then let everyone know you have a very serious emergency 7700. Call for help. ATC really wants to help. No better feeling than saving someone’s life.
I’m a contrarian on this one.
Several years ago while flying south between Bend and Klamath Falls, Oregon I experienced an unexpected (AT NIGHT) penetration of an unforecast cloud while flying south at 6500′ — about 2000′ AGL. As soon as I entered the unseen cloud I calmly went to instruments, rolled to my left in a standard rate turn, executed a 180 and was very soon out of the cloud. Having briefed the flight I knew where my nearby lighted airports were. I landed soon thereafter and spent the night. Perhaps climbing to escape clouds “might” have worked, but I doubt it. My rented Cessna 172 was within 100 pounds of gross weight. Even in winter conditions it’s climb rate and service ceiling would likely not been adequate to get me ‘on top’ if the cloud deck was thick, nor would have climbing for 4,000 feet to the MEA been the ‘lowest risk’, i.e. ‘safe’ option for the non-instrument rated and proficient VFR pilot I was back then. IMHO, a 180 degree turn is the usually the least risk option in mountainous terrain. I’ve used a 180 degree course reversal in smoke, which like clouds, is impenetrable once I’ve climbed into the murk. I think a discussion of when a level 180 initiated from cruise is least risk vs attempting to climb while penetrating deeper and deeper into the clang would yield useful insights. Perhaps if I had been at 1000′ AGL, rather than 2,000′ above the rocks a climb would have been less risk… but then night flight at 1,000′ is in itself very risky and, I think we can agree, a VERY bad idea.
Agreed, every “escape” is unique and context dependent (ice in clouds in my area of the world?)👍 Most of these”surprise encounters” are usually almost “predictable,” and even practiced pilots do lousy with a surprise IFR 180 (unfortunately); we need “super-simple!”
Climbing is not to escape the cloud… climbing is to escape the objects connected to the ground. If you don’t need to climb… don’t. It also sounds like you entered the cloud wings level and you were flying at night with your instruments set. Also very different from the typical inadvertent IMC.
When you made your 180, you might not have exited the same cloud you entered 2 minutes earlier ( if you made a 2 minute coordinated turn ).
This sounds like you randomly bumped into a scattered cloud. Far different from the people that are actively avoiding a serious overcast cloud layer. They tend to weave through the low hanging clouds until they eventually go into them.
Working as an Airway Systems Specialist in the military at a military Approach control, and with the FAA at several Approach Control, and centers. I was the one usually pulling the tapes and I could pick out where they crashed in remote areas. It was quite helpful in Maryland at Patuxent Approach when the Civil Air Patrol would call asking me to go fly a search pattern to find them. You could see the start of the turn by the radar returns and then nothing. It was pretty easy to see the rate of altitude loss and figure out where they crashed and killed themselves as well as the people with them. The ELT usually didn’t survive to point out where they crashed.
You got lucky. And I wouldn’t bet my life on luck to many times. Luck always runs out.
On a better note…
Those people that crashed attempting the 180 really didn’t die in vein. It was while trying to find them in the little Civil Air Patrol Cessna 172 equipped with this very new thing called GPS not yet in any civilian planes, as it was only permitted for finding locations not navigation in the late 80s, is where the idea of ADS-B came from.
During my searches for downed planes, I quickly realized the accuracy of GPS location over the radars I maintained because of radar sweep time, radar estimation computed inside the sweep counters, and the limited capabilities of transponders. I thought about a transponder type system that could transmit back the location of the aircraft constantly (no radar sweep wait time). I presented the idea to the military, then to the FAA, both said it wouldn’t be a good idea because the signal of the GPS was far to easy to jam because it was so weak.
I knew if I keep telling enough people the light bulb would turn on. I knew GPS tracking would work… but I knew back then, I couldn’t get it done. I remember telling anyone that would listen the issue, even telling one passenger forced to listen to me during a flight back from Miami to Atlanta how great it would be to be the owner of a system everyone had to use to fly, like the IBM computers required to use windows…
Now we have ADS-B… it took almost 30 years. I know I can’t fix this issue of 180s. I don’t have that type of influence to get it done. Like ADS-B, I hope someone will. I think it really will save lives. Just as I believed what is now called ADS-B will now save lives.
As with the common sense requirements of WAAS and GPS augmentation sites for ADS-B to work… some common sense does need to be used when avoiding death for IIMC.
The post seems to state that the pilot suffered a fatal LOCI during the turn attempt. Was that the accident cause? It’s not clear to me that a pilot unable to make a standard rate turn in IMC would have been able to escape. Are there stats on how many times pilots successfully escaped and what did they do?
This is not a review of a specific accident (was that from a link?) This blog is recommending a change in “general advice” found in many airplane handbooks (upon encountering inadvertent IMC, initiate an immediate 180-degree turn). This newer advice is based on GAJSC accident data of VFR into IMC accidents. VFR into IMC involves loss of control and is often correlated with CFIT; pilots are low, in a panic state of mind. An “immediate 180” was a recommendation based on very limited data and >50 years old). This was before the required 3 hours of instrument training for private pilots and also the invention of computer simulators.
I don’t think the 180 turn procedure (from the Cessna POH) is suggesting a skidding turn. In step 2, the procedure is to initiate a standard rate left turn holding the symbolic wing on the left index mark. It’s a standard rate turn then only when the ball is in the middle and it’s a timed turn to minimize confusion from compass errors. Step 4 is the only place a skidding motion is mentioned if a heading correction is needed, which would be an advantage to banking since banking is what makes the compass sometimes suddenly spin up to 40 degrees from dipping forces.
I’ve used both escape tactics. Generally as long as I haven’t previously descended enough to make obstacles or the terrain a threat (i.e. still a cushion above the MEF), the 180 should be the safer maneuver in terms of aircraft control and escaping from cloud and ice and minimizing time in cloud. Climbing could also result in getting trapped on top. The FAA also recognizes in the Airplane Flying Handbook that the instrument training received for the Private certificate is designed for relatively quick escapes from cloud. Climbing stands a greater chance of extending beyond a safe time limit in cloud for the non-instrument pilot.
Have you ever tried this perfect turn while encountering vertigo? I believe the FAA might still have the Vertigon machine at the Aviation physiology branch in Oklahoma. Try doing a coordinated turn while almost puking. You see… the first thing someone does when they enter the cloud… they do level the wings… without looking at the artificial horizon, you can see it in the radar tracks. Then they try to make the 180 turn while disoriented. Had they flown a few minutes level, they would likely be alive. The time it takes to get acquainted to instrument flight will take you well into the clouds. But a rash attempt of a turn on unset instruments is crazy at best. Yes, you may be lucky… and you might have enough gas to get to the next airport when you have no idea how much fuel is left… luck Is no way to fly. You won the lottery this time, great. Good for you.
Even in your little Cessna 172 traveling at 120kts in two minutes, your attempted exit from the clouds will be nowhere near where you entered the clouds. Did you enter an airway where other planes are flying on instruments and can not see or avoid you? You just flew a 4 mile ark and hopefully know what is there at the end of the ride if you are holding it together making that perfect turn on instruments you likely didn’t have set for instrument flight. At the end of the little trip you took, there is a very good possibility you will not break out of the clouds… now you are in the clouds flying on a heading that isn’t really where you came from. Now, you really don’t know what is in front of you. If disoriented and you stopped your turn, Add in even slight vertigo disorientation and you are lost at best or worse… dead.
I’ve seen it dozens of times.
Remember when you first took hold of an airplanes controls… could you make a perfect level coordinated turn? I doubt it. Could you keep the plane relatively wings level without falling out of the sky? I bet you could, or you likely would have given up on flying. In any emergency it is best to keep the control of the aircraft simple. The attitude indicator horizon is an easy reference even for a first flight.
I’ve seen people so disoriented they couldn’t hold a heading or understand which direction they were heading. It is why I recommend controllers give half standard turns until told to stop and only continue the turns if comfortable. Other wise keep the wings level.
Yes, I’ve even been called into the control room, and had to talk pilots down. The first thing I always told them, keep the wings level, there are no obstructions or planes around you. It is going to be OK. No big deal. I then would have them do half standard turns to a clear area. Most were freaked out from the heavy rain and just wanted out. Another weird problem, Controllers at that time didn’t have a good working knowledge of how to show weather on the monitors. I had to come in to adjust the radar weather settings, so the heavy rain returns could be avoided.
Why climb and call for help ? Yet one more reason… storm down drafts. I doubt your Cessna had a weather radar. Heavy down drafts in a dissipating thunderstorm will slam a small craft into the ground without mercy. I personally would rather be at 8,000 feet being pushed down… than 1000ft.
What else does a slow climb do? It slows things down. It is a good idea to slow down to keep the aircraft in one piece if you hit turbulence inside the clouds or rising smoke. They tend to fly better with all the parts attached. In the mountains? Now your turn arks will be smaller.
Should you avoid spending a a long time in the clouds… well, that isn’t really the issue once inside the clouds. Fear of clouds and stalls is something that has been drilled into new pilots for so long even heavy ATP pilots are killing themselves. The object is to get out of the clouds alive and with your aircraft in one piece.
Yea, avoid spending a long time in IMC, turn on your pitot heat! If you don’t like to gamble, don’t fly near bad weather without proper training and planning.
No one said make an immediate rash turn. Yes, the pilot has to transition to the instruments and then decide on the course of action.
You consistently fail to differentate between unproficient/ill-prepared and prepared/proficient pilots. Please re-read your posts. Luck may be a small factor, but not the principal factor when pilots calmly and successfully execute a LEVEL 180 degree turn.
If a pilot is either not calm, not-proficient, or both a wings level climb probably will turn out poorly, just as a 180 degree level turn as you perceive it will. We know about about how many pilots FAILED to execute a successful 180. We have NO IDEA WHATSOEVER how many pilots were successful, nor do we know what the circumstances were for those successful pilots.
Every pilot’s control is initially *terrible* attempting surprise transition to instruments (especially in a high adrenaline situation like scud running). PIlots in these situations are usually in a panic situation. Statistically, IFR-rated pilots do no better than untrained VFR pilots at completing a 180-degree turn. Pilot control improves *dramatically* after just a little time on the gauges (based on 4K flight tests and 16K dual given). I agree an untrained VFR pilot has a limited endurance IMC, but priority #1 is “restoring control and buying time;” the goal here is to eliminate the “immediate 180” knee jerk reaction – and esp. hands-off rudder recommendation. This “boiler-plate” immediate 180 recommendation in many airplane manuals predates the required 3 hours of private instrument training >50 years. NO instrument training was required back then, and there were no computer simulators either.
Since in most of these cases pilots are *not* at a safe altitude (GAJSC data) a stable climb is necessary to clear terrain (and buy time – impact is often imminent). Once clear of terrain threat, and under control, a gentle 180 might be the best course of action. This is an emergency escape; regain control, calm down a bit and decide then a pilot can decide the wisest action based on circumstances. A climb has the additional advantage of restoring radio contact with ATC (not a problem in the East but common in most of US).
Well really it is both pitch and bank control that are critical. I think the strategy of an immediate turn is being misinterpreted; i.e. it first requires good technic and the hands off rudder recommendation is done after the turn and rollout. I wonder where the recommendation of climbing may eventually lead and be interpreted – into immediate kneejerk climbs and stalls? Whichever escape strategy is chosen, the #1 objective is first DON’T LOSE CONTROL.
Umm huh…and I can see climbing into freezing levels in IMC with high tops to also be problematic.
I agree… flying is way to dangerous for people because it requires people to think.
Don’t even do a climb out off the run way… it is way too dangerous.
And if they do and crash… they just improved the gene pool.
Hate to admit it, but I’ve flown into clouds accidentally twice in 1300 hours VFR. In both cases I followed the pink line (on a Garmin 430 in a Maule the first time and on a G3X with auto-pilot in an RV7 the 2nd time) to a valley and then descended below the clouds.
In the Maule I was deliberately circling down at what “felt like” a 10 degree bank. Then I looked and noticed it was 30! No harm, no foul, but one heck of a wake-up call.
When you get into a cloud by mistake and you are not IFR rated, it is a very scaring experience.
Training and explanations like your are really useful to get out of trouble and do not loose more than just a beer.
What are the statistics for the ones that decide to climb?
That reminded me of a most unusual experience. We were IFR and IMC somewhere between mid-Connecticut and NYC and the IMC extended quite a bit vertically. The controller advised us of traffic and we responded IMC. Well the traffic continued to get closer, so much so, the controller had to give us evasive headings. And there’s was no way the other aircraft could have been VMC for even a second – he/she shouldn’t have been there.
I think the main objective is for the pilot to avoid panic on the controls, which happens also of course in VMC. Then after that the action taken is more of ‘it depends’. I escaped easily once with a 180, but I was quite active and fortunately proficient. I climbed in another situation. That can be a great strategy, but as I experienced, it can now expose you to a mid-air collision with IFR traffic.
“Statistics” in GA accidents/incidents and non-reported “survivals” make “data” on this difficult. Just like “the other 180” – “Impossible Turn” on T/O, no one reports the successes (and craters in the ground make diagnostics difficult).
With that said, most experienced CFIs have seen how hopeless an unprepared pilot is (VFR or IFR-rated) with a surprise “IMC 180.” This is “data” also; pilots suck at this! Why recommend (in a/c handbooks) a dangerous maneuver? FAA guidance; straight ahead, control, climb, confess, comply. A 180 may be wise once control and calm are restored(?), but certainly not “immediately!”
Yes I think that word ‘immediately’ can be taken incorrectly. No matter what plan of escape is decided, reasonably good technique is a must.
“Immediate” is pretty unambiguous (and in this case wrong)…what we commonly see on flight tests (what we train and test) Let’s fix this (and save lives)!
“A 180 may be wise once control and calm are restored(?), but certainly not “immediately!”” Absolutely. The procedure says make an immediate plan, not an immediate turn. Instructors must be very careful there and not cause the pilot to panic on the controls.
What an outstanding article by mr st George. A recommendation long over due. . Let’s eliminate the “immediate 180 turn” advice and save pilots who blunder into clouds. Level wings, maintain control (breathe), and climb; no turning? Preaching this approach for years in 54 years of military and general aviation… nice job Dave!
Thank you Phillip!
What are the statistics for someone that doesn’t turn? I haven’t found crashes where the person stayed straight and called for help.
Every crash I’ve seen in the last 40 years was after an attempted turn.
Again (as just mentioned) data is tough to find. GAJSC (total data-driven safety group) is working this now (Doug Stewart SAFE rep). One alarming takeaway is high correlation of CFIT accidents (hence the “climb”). The YouTube in the blog is an ideal outcome; control, climb, confess, comply.
as I said. HAI (helicopter Association International) has agreed to change the training. A 180 doesn’t get you back to where you started and will likely get the person lost and bring on Vertigo.
“A 180 doesn’t get you back to where you started and will likely get the person lost and bring on Vertigo” (mentioned below). It worked perfectly for me getting us back in VMC in one minute. With that said, as David mentioned in the article, if the pilot is in a panic and unprepared, probably nothing is going to work, and the emphasis on initially staying calm and cross checking is the right strategy. | aerospace |

BEIJING — A Chinese spacecraft carrying three astronauts docked manually with an orbiting module on Sunday, a first for the country as it strives to match American and Russian exploits in space.
The Shenzhou 9 capsule's maneuver with the Tiangong 1 module was shown live on national television. It follows a docking last week that was carried out by remote control from a ground base in China.
The Chinese astronauts have been living and working in the module for the past week as part of preparations for manning a permanent space station. They returned to the Shenzhou 9 capsule early Sunday and disconnected in preparation for the manual reconnection.
Wu Ping, spokeswoman for China's manned space program, told reporters in Beijing that hand levers were used to control Shenzhou 9 and position it to dock with the orbiting module. The maneuver was "precise and perfect" and the three astronauts carried it out "calmly and skillfully," Wu said.
"This success in manual docking represents a major breakthrough in our space rendezvous and docking technologies," Wu said.
China's next goals include another manned mission to the module later this year and replacing Tiangong 1, which was launched last year, with a permanent space station around 2020. Possible future missions could also include sending a man to the moon. | aerospace |

|Title:||Rufforth Club Pilot Beats The Best And Wins Regional Flying Competition|
|Author:||Mike Bond |
|ID & Publication:||20130911028 ~ The-Villager.co.uk |
|Subject:||Events (Regional) |
Mike Bond (aged 70!!!) has won the prestigious ‘Northerns’ a testing flying
competition for experienced glider pilots which recently took place near Thirsk.
The competition was held over a five day period and the 28 competing pilots undertook long distance/ cross country flights across the NE and NW.
Each day the glider pilots would take off and by using thermals, fly great distances cross country and return. Glider pilots can achieve amazing daily distances in excess of 450 Kms, safely and without an engine!. A really ‘green’ sport from which the UK provides most of the worlds champion glider pilots.
Mike lives in Yorkshire and is a member of the gliding club at Rufforth (York Gliding Centre) near York and has been flying from an early age having joined the Air Training Corps, became an instructor, then a jet airline pilot at 40 - then a national gliding champion in 1988.
Giving up gliding due to work, he returned some 20 years later in 2008 and has now challenged and beaten ‘all comers’ for the 2013 Northern Gliding Competition.
Mike has had a varied life as a lorry driver, airline pilot and Man Director of a picture framing business (he is still the national training examiner for the industry).
Mike Bond said ‘Winning the ‘Northerns’ at 70, beating a whole list of much younger pilots gives me much satisfaction. However young people can start flying a glider at 12 years and now go solo at 14 years so I may be up against a few really young ones’ next year !!.

(Click here or check out the video below to see a drone beverage caddy designed by StoneWall Engineering and Aerobotics Energy Group from the 2016 Opportunity Machine Expo.) In casual settings, they are a fun recreational toy that allows use of their cameras to fly around and see the yard in a completely different way. In commercial settings, their uses range from helping directors film movies to allowing farmers to check their livestock many acres away without leaving the house. With a seemingly limitless amount of uses for drones, it makes sense the air safety industry should make use of these invaluable tools.
The beauty of drone technology is that it has evolved independently from other techniques. The separate evolution has allowed other science fields to combine their technology to the drones to revolutionize certain industries. An example would be the oil and gas industry.
Drones are now helping workers explore and gather geological information to form better calculations of where these natural resources may be found. The results have been unprecedented, helping companies break oil production records. Air safety agencies are testing similar maneuvers with the hopes of following the same path other industries have taken. The goal is to combine an already precise gas detection system with the power of drones.
Combining these two advanced systems will provide an unprecedented level of safety. Sending drones into potentially unsafe areas before human involvement will help mitigate most of the risks posed to gas detection workers. After analysis of the composition of the air in the area is sent back by the drone, workers will then be able to proceed with a better understanding of what obstacles lays ahead. Drone gas detectors, along with other improved technology, will allow companies to make better and more informed decisions moving forward.
Gas detection has come a long way in the past couple of centuries. The first gas detectors, canaries, were used as a reverse alarm in the 19th and 20th centuries. From there, computer technology slowly made its way forward beginning with bulky single gas detectors evolving into the handheld multi-gas detectors that are used today. Although the future is never one hundred percent certain, it seems highly likely that more and more companies will opt into adopting drone technology for their uses. | aerospace |

Opened in 1931, CFB Trenton is now a major hub for tactical and strategic airlift aircraft and a major training institution. The base is home to the Canadian Forces Land Advanced Warfare Centre (CFLAWC), formerly known as the Canadian Parachute Centre (CPC) and the Canadian Army Advanced Warfare Centre (CAAWC).
The CFLAWC is now known as the “Centre of Excellence”, embodying thirteen different parachuting courses, including aerial delivery, mountain operations, rappelling, patrol pathfinder and all parachute rigger qualifications.
The most recent upgrades to this impressive facility involved sourcing reliable, durable and portable bleacher seating for use with certain training programs and exercises. Through the process of public tender, Defense Construction Canada awarded Sport Systems the opportunity to design these new retractable seating systems.
Two bleachers were required for the project; a larger-scale telescopic bleacher system that was to be in place permanently and a portable telescopic bleacher that could be moved to various locations when needed.
Telescopic bleachers are a favourite among many facilities today, giving users and operators the ability to host a crowd comfortably, but also the ability to quickly retract the seating portion and free up valuable floor space. As a military training centre, these bleachers really were the perfect fit, offering the best of both worlds to this specialized facility. | aerospace |

Amelia Earhart was an American aviator, author, and aviation pioneer. She was the first female aviator to fly solo across the Atlantic Ocean. Earhart was also the first person to fly solo from Honolulu, Hawaii, to Oakland, California. She was an advocate for women’s rights, and her legacy lives on today as an icon of courage and ambition.
Earhart’s life and accomplishments have been the subject of numerous books, films, and other media. Here are some interesting facts about Amelia Earhart that you may not have known.
Earhart was born on July 24, 1897, in Atchison, Kansas. She was the daughter of Amelia “Amy” Otis and Edwin Earhart. Her mother was a registered nurse and one of the first female graduates of the University of Kansas. Earhart’s father was a lawyer and a member of the Kansas State Senate.
Earhart was the eldest of three children and was a precocious student. She attended Hyde Park Elementary School in Chicago and then attended an all-girls school in Canada. She later attended the Ogontz School in Pennsylvania and graduated in 1916.
In 1920, Earhart attended an air show in Long Beach, California, where she met pilot Frank Hawks. Hawks offered her a ride in his plane, and Earhart was instantly hooked on flying. She soon began taking flying lessons from aviation pioneer Neta Snook. In 1922, Earhart received her pilot’s license from the Federation Aeronautique Internationale, becoming the 16th woman in the world to do so.
In 1928, Earhart became the first woman to fly across the Atlantic Ocean as a passenger on a plane piloted by Wilmer Stultz and Louis Gordon. Later that year, Earhart became the first woman to fly solo across the Atlantic. She completed the flight in a modified Lockheed Vega 5B plane in just under 15 hours.
In 1932, Earhart became the first person to fly solo from Honolulu, Hawaii, to Oakland, California. She completed the flight in a Lockheed Model 10-E Electra in just over 18 hours.
1. Earhart was a fashion icon.
Earhart was well known for her signature style. She often wore a leather jacket, a white silk scarf, and a pair of goggles. She also championed the idea of practical yet fashionable clothing for women who flew planes.
2. Earhart was an author.
In addition to her aviation accomplishments, Earhart was also an accomplished author. She wrote several books, including 20 Hrs., 40 Min., which detailed her flight across the Atlantic. She also wrote a column for Cosmopolitan magazine, where she discussed her experiences as a female aviator.
3. Earhart was a philanthropist.
Earhart was a strong advocate for women’s rights and was an active member of the National Woman’s Party. She was also a major contributor to the establishment of the Ninety-Nines, an organization dedicated to promoting the advancement of female aviators.
4. Earhart was a celebrity.
Earhart was an international celebrity. She was featured in magazine articles, books, and films. She was also invited to meet with numerous world leaders, including the then-Prince of Wales, later King Edward VIII.
5. Earhart disappeared during a flight.
In 1937, Earhart was attempting to become the first female aviator to fly around the world. During the flight, she disappeared over the Pacific Ocean. Despite numerous search efforts, Earhart was never found.
Amelia Earhart was an incredible aviator, author, and philanthropist. Her legacy lives on today as an icon of courage and ambition. From her fashion choices to her aviation accomplishments, Earhart was an inspirational figure for generations of women. Her courage and determination are an inspiration to us all. | aerospace |

Among the fighter jets and military helicopters performing for the crowds at the Paris airshow last week, a strange two-seater craft lifted off the runway. Like a drone crossed with a helicopter, the Volocopter has an electric motor and a white wasp-shaped body, on top of which sits a circular frame supporting 18 separate sets of blades, or rotors. With that short flight, the dream of making flying taxis for the masses moved a little closer to becoming reality.
Made by a German startup, Volocopter was the only such vehicle actually flying at the show, while other companies displayed mock-ups. Getting from the costly design and testing phase to even costlier manufacturing will be a major challenge for the industry. Not all of the competitors will survive. | aerospace |

The AG600 is the aircraft developed by China that can land and take off from waters, as well. The homegrown AG600 has all the capability to handle military operations but China has said that it will be used only for firefighting and marine rescue operations.
By testing the world’s largest amphibious aircraft, China is one among few countries to own a flight of this kind. This aircraft is about the size of Boeing 737 having a wingspan of 38.8 meters. AG600 is capable of carrying about 50 people and can stay airborne for 12 hours.
AG600 was tested today successfully from a southern city of China, Zhuhai. After its successful flight for an hour it landed back successfully. AG600’s operation range is about 4,500km and has the ability to land and take off from water.
By the success of China’s homegrown AG600, the country is seen to be growing rapidly in modernising its military capabilities. This year China has launched its first domestically built aircraft carrier, the Type 001A. | aerospace |

He received his Bachelor of Arts degree in Mathematics from Simmons in 1926 andthen moved on to study at the University of Texas, where in 1928 he received a Bachelor of Science degree in civil engineering.
He began his career as a design engineer at Douglas Aircraft Company before helping found what would become North American Aviation, Inc.Subsequently, he rose to become president, chief executive officer, and chairman of the company.
Atwood’s career was not only parallel to many of the significant events in aerospace history, his leadership helped to shape them. His technical skill was the force behind the company’s evolution into the aviation and space leader that produced more military aircraft than any other company. During World War II, he worked to produce the P-51 Mustang and the B-25 Mitchell bomber. North American eventually merged with Rockwell of Pittsburgh to become Rockwell International. During this time, Atwood oversaw the production of the Space Shuttle and the B-1 bomber.
Under his leadership, North American Rockwell captured three Collier Trophies for work on the F-100 supersonic fighter, the X-15 spaceplane, and the B-1 bomber. Atwood also received several individual awards, including: a Presidential Certificate of Merit from President Truman for his contributions during WWII, the Honorary Fellow for the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics in 1965, NASA’s Public Service Award, the Air Force Association’s Hap Arnold Trophy in 1970, the Wright Brothers Memorial Trophy in 1970, membership into the National Academy of Engineering in 1974, and induction into the International Aerospace Hall of Fame and the International Academy of Astronautics.
Lee Atwood died on March 5, 1999.

Additionally Sunday, United Airways, the one U.S. service affected by the FAA order, mentioned it had quickly grounded the 24 Boeing 777s at present in use in its fleet with Pratt & Whitney engines.
The FAA announcement got here shortly after its counterpart in Japan ordered airways over there to cease flying the plane, affecting 32 jets operated by All Nippon Airways and Japan Airways. Each Japanese and American orders apply solely to Boeing 777s outfitted with Pratt & Whitney PW4000 engines.
“We reviewed all out there security information after yesterday’s incident,” FAA administrator Steve Dickson mentioned in an announcement. “Primarily based on the preliminary data, we concluded that the inspection interval needs to be intensified for hole fan blades which are distinctive to this engine mannequin, used solely in Boeing 777 plane.”
The incident in Colorado, which concerned United Airways Flight 328 on Saturday, didn’t end in any accidents, however the aircraft crashed particles into three quarters earlier than touchdown safely in Denver.
In an announcement Sunday, United mentioned “security stays our highest precedence – for our workers and our clients.” He continued, “That’s why our pilots and flight attendants take part in intensive coaching to organize for and handle incidents reminiscent of United Flight 328. And we stay pleased with their professionalism and their agency dedication to security in our each day operations and when emergencies like this occur ”.
Dickson mentioned the FAA was working with its counterparts all over the world and mentioned its safety specialists met “within the night” with Pratt & Whitney and Boeing to finish the main points of the required inspections. Solely airways from the USA, Japan and South Korea function the Boeing 777 with the Pratt & Whitney PW4000 engine mannequin, in accordance with the company.
A Japan Airways spokesman mentioned the airline had already stopped utilizing the 13 Boeing 777s in its fleet which are outfitted with the engine earlier than the aviation authorities issued its directive.

While the mission was "entirely safe" (ironic considering it was taking place in a war zone), it was halted when an enemy drone destroyed the plane and its personnel, with (supposedly) the exception of Ben Saxon.
Jaron Namir informs Ben Saxon that the Russian minister Mikhail Kontarsky is responsible for the sabotage of Operation Rainbird. He uses Saxon's desire for revenge to convince him to join the Tyrants and to kill Kontarsky. In Deus Ex: Icarus Effect, Saxon discovers that Namir is responsible for its sabotage, being the one having sent the drone. Namir admits to Saxon that he sabotaged the mission to see if Saxon had the courage to survive, as some sort test of worthiness. | aerospace |

Teodolina Lopez and Arnaud Ceyte, two remote sensing specialists from Cerema’s satellite team were in Bangkok at the beginning of June 2023 alongside the GISTDA (Geo-Informatics and Space Technology Development Agency) and Airbus Defence and Space. They provided an on-the-job training for the Thai space agency geoinformatics specialists on the use of Pléiades satellites images in anticipation of the launch of their next satellite, THEOS-2 (Thailand Earth Observation System-2), manufactured by Airbus Defence and Space and which will be operational soon.
For this on-the-job training course, Airbus DS and TerraNIS called on Cerema’s satellite team for its expertise in one of its flagship subjects, the study of urban heat islands phenomenon using the LCZ (Local Climate Zone) method, developed during the SatLCZ project funded in 2020 by the Space Climate Observatory (https://www.spaceclimateobservatory.org/satlcz-lille).
Regarding urban development issues, Cerema, GISTDA and the Thai National Housing Authority discussed their respective local specificities in order to better understand the added value in Thailand of LCZ diagnostic and its derived indicators.
The trainees learnt to produce multi-temporal LCZ data for a selected area located near Pattaya (Thailand), to use basic remote sensing functions in QGIS and to develop processing chains based on QGIS graphic modelers. This support enables to monitor changes in LCZ classifications over 3 Pleiades monoscopic images (2013, 2018 and 2022) in the context of an area with strong urban dynamics.
This 2-weeks on-the-job training followed on a thematic training course, also given by the Cerema satellite team to GISTDA in June 2022, in partnership with TerraNIS, on the production of UCZ (Urban Climate Zone) classification and associated urban indicators.
Cerema's method for identifying LCZ using satellite images has been developed in France and applied in particular to map urban heat islands in Nice and Nancy: | aerospace |

All my life I have been fascinated by flight and the early days of flying. For this reason, I was very excited to see that Winston Groom’s recent book, The Aviators, dealt with three of aviation’s early pioneers. Eddie Rickenbacker, Jimmy Doolittle, and Charles Lindbergh were absolutely pivotal in developing flight from its early days of daredevils and spectacle to flight as we know it today – safe and viable for commercial use, as well as cutting edge for military use. | aerospace |

Building on the Center report, Acquisition Next: A Playbook to Break the Industrial Age Paradigm, this conversation examines successful contracting methods for software-intensive programs.
The U.S. Army’s first contract with the Wright Brothers in 1907 for an aircraft purchase was a scant two pages. Fast forward to 1955, the Navy’s F-4 Phantom II development specification fit on two pages. Just a few years later, the Air Force’s TFX aircraft contract required 250 pages, and in 1965 the C-5A transport aircraft came in at 1,500 pages. Long lists of specifications and contract data requirements have slowed down defense business practices. It conflicts with modern software development and can drive away the firms government needs most. How can contracting support the software development methods proven to work in the commercial sector?
- Can defense contracting align with agile/devops principles?
- When is modular contracting the right strategy, and how is accountability assured?
- What is the minimum necessary rights for DoD to avoid vendor lock?
- How can consumption-based solutions help expand the “as a service” model?
- What is possible today to make defense contracting recognizable to nontraditional firms?

A Delaware State University researcher has received more than $720,000 from NASA to research the Earth’s magnetic field — 31 to 50 miles above its surface.
Funding from NASA's Experimental Program to Stimulate Competitive Research will allow Renu Tripathi, a DSU physics and engineering professor, to build an instrument that measures the Earth’s magnetic force at mesospheric altitude.
The device — a sodium laser magnetometer — can excite the sodium atoms in the upper atmosphere.
"When you excite any atom with appropriate light, the atom absorbs the light and after a certain time it radiates the light back. We collect that back radiation which is emitted by the atom through a telescope," Tripathi said.
Tripathi will team up with DSU professor Gour Pati, NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center and several students to conduct field tests. They'll then study the remaining sodium atoms to look at any changes the magnetic field caused.
"If it can be done successfully, it will be used in future missions through satellites. So we can actually take the whole system to a satellite, send the laser beam to different planets, and actually study the dynamic structure of the planet, the magnetics and weather," Tripathi said.
Tripathi says if this is done successfully, it could be used in future missions with satellites. It could be sent to planets like Mars or Jupiter to study their structure, magnetics and weather.
The grant will pay for the equipment and will fund two new graduate students and several undergraduate students. | aerospace |

This is not a star, not a planet, but the largest man-made object - an outpost of humanity in near space - the International Space Station. Thirty years ago it seemed impossible, but at the end of the 20th century, the advanced countries of the world united to create a space research center. The launch of the station became a symbol of international cooperation and the end of the Cold War.
The ISS consists of 14 modules, solar panels and technological devices and mechanisms. The station weighs about 450 tons and revolves around the Earth at an altitude of 340 kilometers, orbiting the planet 16 times earth day.
The ISS blocks and modules belong to NASA, the European Space Agency, Japan, Brazil, Canada and the Russian Federation. These countries make the greatest contribution to the development of the station and the researches carried out there.
The ISS is the embodiment of the most advanced technical achievements of earthlings. Research in outer space opens up prospects for the colonization of other planets, thats why the significance of the space station cannot be overestimated. At the same time, the station is an impressive, aesthetically flawless, futuristic engineering structure. Each of the architects, engineers, designers and mechanics involved in its creation can consider himself a chosen one who has put his skills into the embodiment of a new hope for humanity.
Paying tribute to the engineering genius of the creators of the artificial celestial body, the designers of Metal Time have created a prefabricated model of the Astronauts Lodge of the space research station.
The Astronauts Lodge is a good exercise for hands and spatial awareness because it is made up of many different parts. These are two-dimensional solar panels, and three-dimensional modules and blocks, and a massive platform. To assemble it you will need to be patient and study the structure of a real space station. Knowing the name and purpose of each module, it will be twice more interesting to assemble them with your own hands.
Astronauts Lodge is equipped with an electric motor that allows the structure to rotate on its own axis. You can also manually adjust the tilt angle of the station to the surface where it is located. The time spent on assembling the model will pay off with the result in the form of the original model, which will take its rightful place in your collection.
The "Astronauts Lodge" constructor is a wonderful gift for those who are interested in the space achievements of mankind, fans of science fiction and complex engineering structures. The space station model is the most extraordinary interior decoration, surpassing the originality of ships from space in TV series.
An evenly revolving, glittering, steel-faced structure on your desktop is best set up for productive work and provides many ideas for engineering or design work. Like all the Metal Time models, «Astronauts Lodge» is made of sustainable food grade stainless steel approved for consumer goods and toys.
Precise cutting of the set eliminates the possibility of cuts during the assembling process. The parts fit accurately together and will not create problems with connecting. Pleasant tactile sensations, durability and aesthetics of matte metal distinguish the steel parts from wooden or plastic ones used in other constructors.
Convenient flat packaging made from sustainable recyclable cardboard combines compactness and the aesthetics of a status gift. Each buyer of the "Metal time" model receives a club badge, a thank you card and a unique number assigned to each model. Joining the Metal Time club opens up additional opportunities for each customer.
WHAT IS IN THE GIFTBOX?
Besides, every customer gets a club badge "Metal Time" and the club's registration card, which creates opportunities for the "Metal Time" constructor owners activities.

Sterling Heights already has a number of defense contractors working in the city, including BAE Systems and General Dynamics, whose headquarters are located in the city. Mayor Michael Taylor says that is evidence that the city is well equipped for this new opportunity.
“Our county executive Mark Hackel refers to this area as the “arsenal of democracy” and proudly declares that Macomb County is already the defense capital of the Midwest and possibly the United States,” Taylor said.
The proposal is a joint effort between Sterling Heights, Macomb County, and Selfridge Air National Guard Base. In order to apply, cities had to meet certain criteria, including close proximity to a military base and livability standards. Taylor says that Sterling Heights has met those criteria and now is working on putting together their formal proposal to send to the U.S. Air Force, which is overseeing the process. Landing the Space Command headquarters would bring an estimated 1,400 military and civilian jobs to the area, which Taylor said could have even bigger ripple effects for the city, county, and state's economy.
Other cities in the running include Dayton, Ohio and Palmdale, California, both of which are home to major U.S. Air Force bases. But Taylor says he has no doubt that Sterling Heights will be able to compete with those cities.
“I know this is going to be a very competitive process, and we’re going to get stiff competition from different areas, but we’re proud to tell the story of what we have here in Macomb County and Sterling Heights,” Taylor said. “Our proximity to the talent and infrastructure makes Michigan and Macomb County uniquely qualified in my opinion.”

All larger airports constitute a complex system of take-off and landing runways and taxiways with built-in induction loops that help air traffic control do its job.
Ground lights – known as red stop bars – that are clearly visible to pilots mark the “red line” in the truest sense of the word to warn of neuralgic points. Under no circumstances may these lines be crossed without air traffic control’s permission.
Induction loops in the ground before and after the red lights track aircraft movement. They create an electro-magnetic field that changes as soon as a mass with its own magnetic field – in this case a plane – enters it.
To ensure the functional reliability of this highly sensitive system, the relevant concrete slabs must be permanently and non-magnetically reinforced. During the ongoing work to extend Zurich Airport, the construction manager installed Schöck Combar glass fibre reinforced polymer in these sections. A total of around 25 kilometres of these reinforcing bars are now installed beneath the taxiways at Zurich Airport. Whereas steel would have produced interference in this case, the glass fibre bars are neither magnetic nor magnetisable, non-conductive and moreover non-corroding. A two-part manufacturing process bundles the high-strength glass fibres as compactly as possible before proofing them with special vinyl ester. The result is a resistant and durable material that indirectly even enhances flight safety, as impressively demonstrated at Zurich Airport. | aerospace |

Ahead of the resumption, the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) issued its guidelines towards reopening.
Passengers are advised to arrive at airports at least three hours before flight time. The Authority said this was part of the new protocols for the restart of flights amid the coronavirus pandemic.
The Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) also made it clear that, passengers who are not travelling will not be allowed into the airport terminal building.
This was disclosed by the Federal Airport Authority of Nigeria (FAAN), through a tweet post from the government aviation agency’s official Twitter handle.
This is in line with the new protocol to be implemented by FAAN in adherence to the safety measures that had been announced by the Presidential Task Force (PTF) for Covid-19, and Nigerian Centre for Disease Control (NCDC).
FAAN also urged travelers to maintain two metres distance from each other at the airports. They also noted that persons not wearing their face masks will not be allowed into airports’ premises.
However, only passengers with valid travel documents will be allowed inside the airport terminal building. In addition, the aviation industry has started developing protocols. These protocols will allow for domestic flights to resume anytime from the 21st of June onwards.
Effects Of The Pandemic On The Aviation Sector
The aviation industry is said to have received the worse hit, by the dreaded Pandemic. An estimated 25 million aviation jobs and 100 million travel and tourism jobs across the globe are at risk.
Prior to the crisis, aviation contributed $1.7 billion to Nigeria’s GDP and supported 241,000 jobs. The International Air Transport Association (IATA) estimates that the COVID-19 crisis puts 124,000 Nigerian jobs at risk. Also, some $900 million of the country’s GDP.
However, the Nigerian government introduced broad economic relief packages to mitigate the devastation caused by COVID-19. The International Air Transport Association (IATA) now urges the government to implement specific financial relief measures for the sector. This is to help the aviation sector recover from the deadly blow. | aerospace |

There are already several models among the Flying Cars that are already ready for series production. We take a look at the most interesting manufacturers, who have been involved in interesting projects for years.
The modular concept from 2017
The Pop.Up, a fully electric, modular vehicle system concept celebrated its world premiere at the Geneva International Motor Show in 2017. The concept, which is the result of joint considerations by Airbus and Italdesign, is intended to alleviate future traffic congestion in overcrowded metropolises can.
The Pop.Up concept is a flying car developed in a modular design that travels in the air or on the ground as required. The Pop.Up's passenger capsule is off Carbon fiber manufactured, 2,6 meters long, 1,4 meters high and 1,5 meters wide. By coupling it to a floor module, the capsule turns into a battery-powered city car that is said to reach a top speed of 100 km/h. The range of the ground drive train should be 130 km, the capacity of the battery is 15 kWh.
If the traffic in the city is too dense, the capsule of the Pop.Up should be able to disconnect the connection with the ground module and then be driven by an air module equipped with eight counter-rotating rotors, which independently flies to the passenger capsule, docks onto the capsule and then it lift off the base module. The total output of the flight module should be 136 kW (185 PS) and a top speed of 100 km / h. The 70 kWh battery should be able to bring the flying vehicle (without people) 100 km.
The Pop.Up is controlled via an AI platform, which independently suggests which transport solution (air or ground) is optimal for the selected route and picks up the passengers at their location. The Pop.Up passengers plan their journey using the app: Since the concept drives / flies autonomously, no driver's license or flight license is required. Once the passengers have reached their destination, the air and ground modules return independently to their stations and charge the batteries there.
Airbus would like to have its model aircraft launched within the next ten years - whether the technology will be so advanced by then remains to be seen.
# updated 10.02.2022/XNUMX/XNUMX
The ambitious ones from Airbus will continue to be pursued in the coming years, with the E-Fan X there is now another prototype.
“In 2010, Airbus began its electrification journey, developing the world's first all-electric, four-engine aerobatic aircraft, the CriCri. Since then, we've made great strides in electrifying flight. Our all-electric twin-propeller aircraft, E-Fan, successfully crossed the English Channel in 2015. Our electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) demonstration projects, Vahana and CityAirbus, have completed many hours of rigorous and comprehensive flight test programs to ensure safety and high performance. E-Fan X, the successor to E-Fan that is 30 times more powerful than its predecessor, has provided invaluable insight into serial hybrid electric propulsion.” Source Airbus
Pal V Liberty
A car that flies - an airplane that drives
Report from 2019:
Good: At first glance it doesn't look like a futuristic vehicle, but optically has a lot in common with a helicopter, but the Pal-V Liberty is still the first flying car ready for series production, which is to be delivered to the first customers in 2018. The two-seater flying car that was developed in the Netherlands is not a helicopter, but a combination of a car and a gyrocopter, i.e. a gyroplane. These are easier to steer than helicopters - but a real pilot's license is also required for the Pal-V Liberty.
The first model of the Pal-V Liberty will be the Pioneer Edition limited to 90 pieces, which is available at a price of 499.000 euros and can be pre-ordered on the Internet. Then comes the Liberty Sport variant, which at 299.000 euros will be a whole 200.000 euros cheaper than the first model - not cheap for a car. But if you want to be one of the first to own a flying car, you have to dig deep into your pocket.
The technical data of the Liberty are quite convincing: With its 100 liter tank, the flying car can fly around 500 km. Usual super or super plus gasoline is put in the tank. The range on the ground is 1.315 km with a consumption of 7,6 L / 100 km. And the Liberty doesn't drive slowly: the top speed in driving mode is 160 km / h, acceleration from 0 to 100 km / h in less than 9 seconds. In drive mode, the rotors of the Pal-V are folded in so that there is no great wind resistance. In flight mode, the flying car has reached its top speed at 180 km / h. The rules that apply to the flying car are similar to those for airplanes: The Pal-V Liberty can only take off and land from an airfield or large private property. The Liberty needs 330 meters to take off and only about 30 meters of taxi distance to land.
# Update July 2023
At the moment there is still the possibility to place a pre-order. For the European market you can choose between the Pioneer version, which is limited to 90 pieces, for 499.000 euros and the Sports Edition for 299.000 euros.

The flying taxi
The Volocopter was the first multicopter in the world to be approved for manned flights in 2016. It has been airborne in a test phase in Dubai since the end of 2017 - here it is to be used as a long-term public transport.
The Volocopter is of course not a real flying car, but it still fits into our category, as it would be particularly suitable as a flying taxi. The two-seater mini helicopter, equipped with 18 rotors, is purely electrically operated and has 9 high-performance batteries that supply the 18 electric drives and the on-board systems with energy. The Volocopter can also fly autonomously and thus offers the advantage that no pilot license is required: a good prerequisite for using it as an air taxi. Another advantage: Thanks to its ingenious rotors, the Volocopter is a high-flyer and can take off even in a small space. The velocopter will fly through cities both manned and unmanned. As an unmanned drone, it could be used to deliver goods.
The range of the large drone is around 70 km at a speed of 27 km / h; the maximum flight time at an optimal cruising speed of 50 km / h is 27 minutes. That may not sound like a lot, but as a city taxi in the air, the range can be completely sufficient, because the batteries of the Volocopter can be recharged within 40 minutes using a quick-charging system. The Volocopter was developed in Bruchsal, Germany, and in 2017 Daimler also showed its interest in the electric flying taxi and invested in the Volocopter company. The price for the electric air taxi should be around 300.000 euros.
Update June 2023
The German air taxi manufacturer Volocopter is planning the first operations in major international cities. The flying taxis are scheduled to be launched in Singapore in 2024. In the long term, the flight services should not only be available to the wealthy. Investor Stefan Klocke was quoted in the media as saying: "In ten years, people who have previously used conventional taxis should also be able to afford air taxi rides". For the Summer Olympics in Paris in 2024, the entry into the air taxi business should also start in Europe.
The concrete plans for Paris were published in June 2023:
2024: First routes and operations defined
The partners are starting with three connecting routes and two tourist return flights with several aircraft.
- Paris-Charles de Gaulle Airport <> Paris-Le Bourget Airport; successfully integrated into the sky of Europe's busiest airport
- Vertiport of Austerlitz Barge <> Paris Heliport integrating a connection across the densely populated metropolitan area of Paris
- Paris Heliport <> Saint-Cyr-l'École Aerodrome (Versailles); Validation of route potential for tourism use cases
Tourist return flights are offered by:
- Paris Heliport
- Paris Le Bourget
Operations in Paris will begin from five vertiports and gradually expand over the next decade to cover the entire Paris region. VoloCity aircraft, seating one pilot and one passenger, will fly at altitudes below 500m and will be inaudible from the ground in urban environments.

iphone screen protector removal might be the same size as the iPhone, but that doesn't mean you don't want a spiffy new case for it.
The goal of the ARES program is for the eventual flight-worthy drones to go as fast as a small aircraft and also be capable of vertical take-off and landing -- a hybrid approach found in the V-22 Osprey used by the US Marines Corps. The uncommon design of built-in twin tilting ducted fans instead of traditional rotors in the ARES aircraft would allow for hovering and landing within small areas, as on rugged terrain and ships. In fact, according to DARPA, these systems should be able to land in zones half the area needed by helicopters of similar size.
Delivery drones have all of a sudden become a thing, In December, Amazon revealed that it has been testing microwave-sized drones to deliver packages within 30 minutes of an order being placed, The United Arab Emirates, meanwhile, just began testing drone deliveries for official documents, The Pentagon has a big push on for next-generation helicopters, working through various projects to devise fleets of new rotorcraft that would go into service within the next 25 to 40 years, The Pentagon is developing unmanned aircraft for supply runs that can be controlled from a mobile phone or tablet -- iphone screen protector removal think of it as Amazon drones in olive drab..
In hard-to-reach war zones, it can be near impossible to get supplies to ground soldiers or conduct rescue missions without coming under enemy fire or landing in minefields. Spurred by these logistical issues, the US Department of Defense in its DARPA division is pushing to develop unmanned helicopter-like aircraft -- aka drones -- for supply runs, airborne reconnaissance missions, and casualty evacuations.

The FAA said the new rule "codifies existing FAA policies and procedures" and was consistent with a mandate issued by Congress to prevent distraction to members of the flight crew during critical phases of a flight, "This rule will ensure that certain non-essential activities do not contribute to the challenge of task management on the flight deck and do not contribute to a loss of situational awareness due to attention to non-essential activities," the FAA said in the regulation's text, The agency noted that the dangers posed by pilots' use of electronic devices in the cockpit iphone screen protector removal were highlighted in 2009 when a Northwest Airlines flight overshot its intended airport by 150 miles while the pilots were using their laptops, The pair didn't realize their mistake until contacted by a flight attendant, according to a National Transportation Safety Board report..
While the FAA is prohibiting personal use of electronic devices, pilots will still be able to use laptops, iPads, or other devices that are needed for operating an airplane. American Airlines became the first commercial carrier to give tablets to pilots for work purposes in 2012 when it substituted iPads for its heavy paper-based flight manuals. Microsoft's Surface 2 won FAA approval for similar use on Tuesday. New rule prohibits non-essential use of laptops, cell phones, and other electronic devices to prevent crew member distraction during flights.
As the Federal Aviation Administration eases prohibitions against passenger use of portable electronic devices, it's restricting airline pilots' personal use of devices in the iphone screen protector removal cockpit, New regulations, announced Tuesday, prohibit pilots from personal use of laptops, cell phones, and other electronic devices while on duty in the cockpit, The rules (PDF), which go into effect in two months, augments the FAA's 1981 "sterile cockpit" rule, which requires that pilots refrain from non-essential and distracting activities during certain phases of the flight..
Unfortunately, if you didn't get the game while it was available, one of your only options is to download one of many knockoffs that have sprouted up, so I've put together a collection of Flappy copycats for iOS to fill the demand. None of them measure up to the original, but they are not completely without redeeming qualities. Here are some Flappy Bird replacements that I've ranked worst to best. For those of you with Android phones, the copycat options are downright staggering. Fly Birdie Flappy Bird Flyer currently sits atop the most popular free apps at the App Store, but if you've played the original, you'll know it's the name and not the gameplay that got people to download.
With this game, you get flat unimpressive graphics, a bird whose wings don't even have a flapping animation, and spaces between the pipes that are far too simple to fly through, I suppose if you found the original game iphone screen protector removal too oppressively difficult, this might be an option, but it's not the best alternative in the App Store and it's not the best in this collection, Ironpants is another game cashing in on Flappy Bird's success, but this time you're a flying superhero avoiding obstacles, In this game, the controls are slightly different, letting you touch and hold to fly upward and let go to fly downward, This game is much harder than Flappy Bird, but it's mostly because the obstacles come so fast and the viewing distance is so small, When I played this copycat, I got frustrated very quickly with the control system and have been unable to get past more than a few obstacles before dying.. | aerospace |

https://www.thetodayposts.com/the-different-types-of-canada-air-flights-travel-classes/ | 2022-12-09T21:57:13 | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-49/segments/1669446711552.8/warc/CC-MAIN-20221209213503-20221210003503-00562.warc.gz | 0.936696 | 820 | CC-MAIN-2022-49 | webtext-fineweb__CC-MAIN-2022-49__0__10260058 | en | Canada Air Flights travel class can be roughly divided into two categories; Air Canada Premium Economy and Air Canada Business Class . Depending on the aircraft type and the number of passengers on board, there are different cabin configurations available. Air Canada uses an Airbus A320-family aircraft, with three classes of travel offered; Business Class, Premium Economy Class and Economy Class. The majority of Air Canada Flights operate using the Airbus A320-family aircraft, although Boeing 767-300ER and Boeing 777-200LR aircraft are also used on longer routes to Europe or Asia.
Air Canada Main Cabin
In Air Canada’s Main Cabin, each seat is 29 inches wide, includes a generous 16.5-inch pitch and has an 11-inch recline. Each seat also comes with a fold-out tray table, an AC power outlet and two USB ports. The only thing missing is seatback entertainment (since there are no TV screens installed in seats). Instead, all passengers are free to use their own personal electronic devices to watch videos or read books on their way to their destination. If you need more room for your legs, though, we recommend Air Canada Booking a Main Cabin Extra seat, which costs just $30 extra. That gets you about one inch more legroom per seat – making it worth every penny if you plan on traveling several times throughout the year. Plus, when you book your flight through our partner sites like Expedia or CheapAir , these extra fees will be included in your total price automatically!
*Economy Class: Air Canada Economy Class fares may seem less expensive than those for other airlines but once you factor in all of these extras it becomes clear that it’s not really much cheaper at all.
Air Canada Premium Economy
In addition to having three classes on board—Y, Biz and Econ—Air Canada also has a premium economy class for flights longer than four hours. Premium economy gives you access to premium Air Canada Customer Services at competitive prices, with fares starting at $1,300 round-trip in North America. You’ll enjoy extra space and privacy in a dedicated cabin with wider seats (34-inches wide) featuring 60% more recline than standard economy seats. You’ll also enjoy increased legroom (42 inches), priority check-in Air Canada and Air Canada Boarding Pass, along with premium meals prepared by on-board chefs. That said, if you have time, Air Canada Business Class is definitely worth it for that level of comfort!
Air Canada Business Class
Air Canada Business Class seats are wider than in economy, and offer more recline. The planes have satellite-based Wi-Fi access, over 1,000 channels of movies, TV shows and music and power outlets at every seat. On some international flights to London and Frankfurt, German chefs create meals with regional influences for up to 16 people. Other major airports include Miami International Airport (MIA), Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) and John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK). In 2016, Air Canada began offering direct flights from Toronto to Cuba via Havana. This is a great option for Canadian travelers who want to explore Cuba before it opens fully to U.S. travelers in late 2022 or early 2022.
Air Canada First Class
Not all airlines have a first class, but for those that do, it’s typically your first choice. Air Canada First Class travelers enjoy all sorts of perks: space to stretch out and relax, meals from a gourmet menu, personal service from flight attendants – and usually complimentary champagne or liquor to boot. But what’s really nice about flying in Air Canada First Class is how much attention you get; in coach (business), you’re just one person among many; in first class, you’re treated like a VIP. What’s more, there are no middle seats in first class. You also have access to dedicated airport lounges where you can relax before your flight and freshen up after landing. | aerospace |

June 29, 2021 by Reuters
Launching one of the richest individuals on earth into orbit has proved a leap too far for insurers, who are not ready to price the risk of losing Jeff Bezos or his fellow space travelers.
Amazon CEO Bezos, a lifelong space enthusiast, has been vying with Elon Musk and Richard Branson to become the first billionaire to fly beyond the earth’s atmosphere.
And while insurers are well known for offering cover for even the most outlandish of risks, at a price, potential accidents in space are not yet among them. | aerospace |

Its capabilities are a great improvement over the flight simulator that we had. It has a separate control station whereby the flight instructor can change weather, fail instruments, and all kind of fun things like that.
Once we have approval from the FAA we can use it to log 2 hours of training toward a private pilot certificate, and 10 hours toward an instrument rating. It also has multi-engine capability. It is a great introduction for someone who wants to get a multi-engine rating.
Also, with the price of fuel, use of the flight simulator is a great cost savings to you. If you have an instrument rating, you can use it to keep your instrument currency. If you have not flown in a while and want to sharpen your skills, you can do it in the simulator, get the feel for the airplane again before you jump in the airplane itself.
And on rainy days, we can still fly!
The rate for the flight simulator is $45.00 per hour and $40.00 per hour for the instructor. | aerospace |

But if you look closely, there are few companies around these days that offer aerospace products because of the enormous investment required. As a result, there’s less opportunity for potential investors or people looking for something exciting to do with their money. Spain-based aerospace company Antigravity SL solves this problem with blockchain technology. As the first tokenized space travel agency, the company aims to offer an unprecedented experience by democratizing access to space exploration and making it accessible for all.
From considerable research conducted by the Antigravity SL team, the average citizen has a great interest in investing or simply being part of a project or space mission. For many, such an opportunity would be not only an investment but also an experience of a lifetime. Unfortunately, there are too many problems to contend with within the industry. The Antigravity SL team’s findings showed the lack of European companies that finance space projects and missions as a major challenge. There is also inadequate information about projects in the funding phase and how to take part, difficulty accessing projects, and lack of trust and confidence.
Blockchain technology allows the Antigravity SL team to solve most of these challenges. Antigravity SL platform allows users to access services such as aircraft purchases, project financing, participating in missions among others, by using cryptocurrencies. The user-friendly platform seeks to become a trustworthy source of information about space projects, offering its users different choices of projects to invest in. As pioneers in this new industry, Antigravity SL hopes to pave the way for other developers and change the face of the aerospace industry forever. The team is already doing that.
So far, Antigravity SL has achieved several milestones in its project roadmap.

The 0.7-mile long body ─ larger than the tallest building on Earth, Dubai’s half-mile high Burj Khalifa skyscraper ─ will rocket past our planet on Feb. 4 by 2.6 million miles, giving it no chance of hitting us.
Potentially hazardous asteroids, or PHAs, are not uncommon. According to a 2013 report on NASA’s website, there are over 1,000 PHAs out there and possibly more yet to be discovered.
PHAs are defined by NASA as Near-Earth Asteroids “whose Minimum Orbit Intersection Distance (MOID) with the Earth is 0.05 [in astronomical units] or less and whose absolute magnitude is 22.0 or brighter.”
One astronomical unit is 149,597,870,700 miles, or approximately the average distance between the Earth and the Sun.
2002 AJ129 is expected to be the largest and speediest space object to whiz past the Earth in 2018, according to the Atlanta Journal Constitution.
NASA has not yet responded to a request for comment from Fox News.
Astronomers almost unanimously agree that no asteroid, particularly those of the near-Earth variety, will hit our planet in our lifetime. However, if one of this size were to hit us, it could cause some serious damage.
When discussing the 3-mile wide 3200 Phaethon, which flew past Earth in mid-December, Boston University astronomy professor Michael Mendillo told Time that an asteroid of this size “would be this kind of object that would cause a catastrophic collision, should there be one,” before adding that it is highly unlikely.
In addition to the aforementioned 3200 Phaethon and 2002 AJ129, Earth has had some close-calls with giant space rocks in recent months.
In August 2017, a 2.7-mile wide asteroid dubbed Florence passed by Earth at a safe distance of 4.4 million miles, roughly 18 times the distance between Earth and the moon. And in October, 2012 TC4, a space rock estimated to measure between 50 and 100 feet, passed safely past Earth by 26,000 miles and was used to test Earth’s international warning network.
If an asteroid were to ever threaten the Earth, NASA has a plan to fight it off.
In June, the agency unveiled a video using 3-D modeling techniques and one of its supercomputers in an effort to produce simulations on a variety of asteroid impact scenarios.
The work is being done by experts on the Asteroid Threat Assessment Project at the NASA Advanced Supercomputing facility at Ames Research Center in California’s Silicon Valley. The efforts are in conjunction with NASA’s Planetary Defense Coordination Office.
The research has been shared with a number of different parties, including university scientists, national research labs and different government agencies.
The work follows an asteroid collision in 2013 in the Russian city of Chelyabinsk. The blast from the asteroid injured more than 1,200 people and damaged buildings 58 miles away.
Separately, in 2016, NASA opened a new office to track asteroids and comets that come too close to Earth, known as the Planetary Defense Coordination Office (PDCO).
NASA has been studying Near-Earth Objects (NEOs) since the 1970s. According to the PDCO, NASA-funded survey projects have found more than 95 percent of the known catalog of over 15,000 NEOs. | aerospace |

Spanning 71" inches, the GTC-500 Carbon Fiber Adjustable Wing is the largest wing available in APR's catalog. With its optimized 3D airfoil shape, the GTC-500 is perfect for high speed touring applications and supplies an ample amount of downforce without causing excess drag. All GTC Series wings feature an aerodynamic 3D designed airfoil shape to obtain the optimal balance of downforce. This design allows for a reduction in drag, yet maintains an ideal level of downforce. Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) analysis was performed on this wing to support validation of its aerodynamic design.
Each GTC Series airfoil is composed of lightweight and durable carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) composite materials. These airfoils contain pre-pregnated woven carbon fiber sheets for superior strength and low weight. All CFRP airfoils are made using pre-pregnated composite manufacturing processes (i.e. high-temperature autoclave and vacuum bagging) in high-quality aluminum billet molds.
Supporting the airfoils are 10mm "aircraft grade" 6061 billet aluminum pedestals that come in a flat black powder coat finish.
Note: Mounting bases sit at edges of trunk lid
Airfoils (a.k.a. "wings")
What is an airfoil, and how does it work:
An airfoil is a body (such as an airplane wing or helicopter blade) designed to provide a desired reaction force when in motion relative to the surrounding air.
There has been much discussion with regards to how and why airfoils really work. The popularly-known explanation (as seen in K-6 textbooks) involves mis-applying Bernoulli’s principle by stating that high-pressure, low-velocity air on the bottom-side of the airfoil and low-pressure, high-velocity air on the top-side, which recombines at the trailing edge of the airfoil at the same time, regardless of angle-of-attack, is the sole mechanism by which lift is generated.
Well, if this is the case, then we would have a really, really tough time trying to explain how airplanes fly upside down:
The truth is, the top-side air travels significantly faster than the bottom-side air. They never recombine (the image below illustrates this fact). (Velocity field around a wing, image from http://www.av8n.com)
Additionally, the image below illustrates, using pressure patterns, that the angle-of-attack indeed has profound effects on the lift that's generated. (Pressure patterns at different angle-of-attacks (red shaded regions indicate positive pressure relative to atmosphere, blue shaded regions indicate negative pressure relative to atmosphere, image from http://www.av8n.com)
Besides using Bernoulli’s principles (which accounts for conservation of energy), Newton’s principles (conservation of momentum), Euler’s equations (conservation of mass, momentum, and energy), and Navier-Stokes equations (all of the above plus viscosity) must also be dealt with in order to fully understand the generation of lift.
A good article that provides a good, brief introduction to these principles is available on NASA’s website here:

Why put airfoils on cars:
Airfoils, when properly mounted at the rear-end of a race car, can generate large amounts of downforce. This downforce offsets the aerodynamic lift inherent to the car, and in turn increases the amount of tire grip available. This increased tire grip allows the car to carry higher speeds through the corners and out of corner exits. Being able to carry the greatest corner exit speeds is critical to producing the lowest lap times, especially when there are many corners that lead to long straightaways.
What to consider when putting airfoils on cars:
In application (airfoil on a race car), the key point to understand is to know that the amount of lift an airfoil generates is dependent on many things, including (but not limited to):
1. Angle-of-Attack (AOA).
4. Position in the air stream.
Considerations must be made for all of the above items when designing, installing, and using an airfoil on a race car.
(APR Performance GTC series airfoil)
A 3D airfoil is an airfoil that has variable airfoil cross section across its span. Most modern aircraft airfoils are 3D airfoils. When a 3D airfoil is designed for use on a production-based race car, the outer sections will typically have much more AOA built-in than the center section. For example, if the center section is set to zero degrees (relative to the ground), then the outer sections may end up at 15 degrees angle (relative to the ground).
Why and when to use a 3D airfoil (rather than a 2D airfoil):
(Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) illustration of airflow around Aston Martin race car)
There is a popular notion that, in order for an airfoil to function on a race car, the airfoil needs to be in clean, free-air at or above the rear roofline of the car. This is only a partially-true statement. On cars with solid roofs and sloping rear windows, the air that flows from the rear center edge of the roof will travel downward at an angle toward the airfoil. The problem here is that only the center section of the 2D airfoil will see this downward "push" of air, while the outer section of the 2D airfoil will see much less of this (it will see straighter, freer air).
Decreasing the 2D airfoil's angle-of-attack to accommodate for the downward airflow causes the outer sections to produce relatively less downforce. Increasing the 2D airfoil's angle-of-attack causes the center section to produce relatively more downforce. The 2D airfoil ends up functioning inefficiently in this unbalanced state. This is a situation where the 3D airfoil has an advantage. The 3D airfoil's built-in angle-of-attack variations allow it to function more efficiently when it is mounted below the roofline. When the center section is mounted at 0 degrees angle-of-attack (relative to the ground), it acts as though it has a positive (typically 15 to 20 degrees in a sedan-type car) angle-of-attack relative to the airflow coming from the rear center edge of the roof. The outer sections, with the higher angle-of-attack built-in, are better-suited to take advantage of the cleaner, freer air stream. Therefore, the 3D airfoil, when used in a sedan-type car and mounted below the roofline, is able to function more efficiently (and in a more balanced state) than a 2D airfoil.
Which type of airfoil is better?
(APR Performance GTC series airfoil for C6 Corvette application)
There is not going to be one simple answer to this question. In reality, a better question to ask may be, "which type of airfoil is better for my application?" In some cases, it may be better to use the 2D airfoil. In other cases, it may be better to use the 3D airfoil.
In order to find the answer, we must know our intended use and we must consider the following:
1. Type of car (sedan, coupe, hatchback, open-wheel, etc.).
2. Approval of the specific airfoil (type, size, supplier, etc.) for the race series.
3. Mounting-height rules for the race series.
Typically, when there is a mounting-height restriction that requires the airfoil to be mounted below the roofline, it will likely be better to use a 3D airfoil. When there is no mounting-height restriction, either a 2D airfoil mounted above the roofline or a 3D airfoil mounted below the roofline may work.

The participant guides were qualified international mountain guides certified by the International Federation of Mountain Guide Associations (IFMGA). The company believes that addition of the skilled manpower will definitely broaden the rescue field.
The guides were provided 7 days of training regarding the rescue of stranded people with the support of Alpine Rescue Foundation, Switzerland.
Richard Lehener and Pilot Daniel Aufdenblatten, the head rescue expert of Alpine Rescue Foundation were the main trainers for “Helicopter Longline Rescue Trainer’s-Trainee Trainingâ€. The training was coordinated by Search and Rescue Organization Nepal (SARON) and Nepal National Mountain Guide Association.
Simrik Air single-handedly has been providing Helicopter Longline rescue for the past three years and has been the only one providing this facility. With the help of rescue training provided to the eight mountain experts, the manpower required in this field has been fulfilled. “We have provided training to overcome the shortage of manpower we might faceâ€, said Trainer Tsering Pandey Bhote.
The term Longline rescue is an act of rescuing stranded people securely by means of ropes from the mountainous areas or places where helicopters have complications in landing  and then transferring them to a safer place.
Simrik Air has four pilots and four rescue specialists in its team who are well trained in Longline rescue. “Few years ago an Italian pilot tried to implement the rescue technique but couldn’t succeed; Simrik Air successfully implemented it after his failed effortâ€, says Capt.

While some of the aircraft carriers have proven capable of carrying much heavier payloads, the G4B is the only one currently in service, and it lacks a large enough crew for the task.
“I’d like to see a couple of more,” said retired Lieutenant Colonel Kevin Sabet, a member of the US Air Force’s Naval War College, in a recent podcast interview.
“We’re not in the era of the F-35, but it would be nice to see some more.”
One solution to the lack of a larger combat crew is to have a new type of boat anchor.
This new technology would be able to deploy from the bow of a warship, and attach itself to the hull of the next generation aircraft carrier.
The G4S has a similar system, but has an additional propeller that could be used for launching or launching from the surface of the water.
And it would likely be able for a more advanced use than the G1s and G2s currently in use, Sabet added.
The USS Gerald R. Ford (CVN 74) was the first of the new-generation combat aircraft carriers to enter service.
In 2017, the USS Theodore Roosevelt (CV-72) entered service and the USS John C. Stennis (CVG 42) is scheduled to join the fleet next year.
But the aircraft carrier has faced a number of delays since then, and its current crew is expected to be replaced by the USS Harry S. Truman (CVL 58) sometime in 2020.
The new aircraft carriers are expected to have an overall length of around 1,300 feet, a displacement of around 4,000 tons and a maximum speed of Mach 3.5.
But they also have an air wing that could carry a maximum of 12 aircraft.
In addition to the USS Gerald, the Navy also has three other new aircraft carrier designs in the works.
The Nimitz-class aircraft carriers were originally designed to carry a large complement of fighter aircraft, but they are expected not to be built until at least 2021, and will instead be built in the coming years.
These new carriers will be able carry a larger complement of strike aircraft and be able more quickly deploy fighters.
The Navy is also developing two additional aircraft carriers that could replace the USS Nimitz and USS Nimitat, but will be designed as combat-ready vessels that could join the current fleets later this decade.
The aircraft carrier USS Theodore was originally designed for the Navy’s nuclear-powered B-52 Stratofortress, which is the world’s most advanced bomber.
The ship is designed to be a carrier that is capable of landing on land and conducting air operations with the nuclear-armed B-1 bomber.
But after a series of delays and cost overruns, B-2 and B-4 B-3 stealth bombers are being developed for use on the USS Ronald Reagan (CVCVN 76) and USS Harry Truman (SSN 78) in addition to carriers.
The first carrier to enter full-scale service is expected in 2021, while the second is planned to enter operation in 2021. | aerospace |

The fascinating feature was discovered in one of the rover's photographs. It appears to have fueled speculation that it was constructed by aliens. This has also been interpreted as proof of alien life on Mars. The entryway, which is hidden in the Martian landscape's rocks, gives the impression of a Martian hideaway or a portal to another Universe. As it is only supposition, it might be anything.
Several conspiracy theories regarding the strange doorway have surfaced on the internet, but are they true?
For many, it's simply a rock fracture or the result of some form of strain. It's possible, given that the globe has been hit by multiple earthquakes recently. The greatest earthquake of the month occurred on May 4.
Researchers are also trying to figure out what it is and how it came into being.
The image was taken by the rover's Mast Camera near a geological formation known as Greenheugh Pediment, NASA said.
The door-like rock feature appears to be quite large, although it could just be a few millimetres or inches tall. As a result, more research is required before any conclusions can be reached.

Titomic is an Australian additive manufacturing specialist established to help companies leverage advanced materials and a new proprietary Kinetic Fusion process to produce stronger and faster products at scale.
Co-developed with CSIRO, the Titomic process overcomes the limitations of previous additive manufacturing (3D printing) for metals to manufacture complex parts without shape and size constraints. Based on the well-known ‘Cold Spray technologies’ the US Military use on Blackhawk helicopters’ maintenance and repair, benefits include:
• World’s fastest build rates, 30 times faster than the largest commercial 3D printers available
• Leverage superior materials with the fusion of dissimilar metals and blended alloys
• Production volumes without tooling
• Stronger structures without welding, folding or bending
• Reduced time to market; faster manufacturing time + localised production
• Lower production costs
We provide surface engineering and end to end production support; equipment, software, training, prototyping, product testing, manufacturing modelling, technical support and maintenance.
