By Steven Jiang, CNN
Updated 3:00 AM ET, Mon November 2, 2015
Beijing (CNN)Amid much fanfare on live national television, China on Monday rolled its first homegrown large passenger jet off the production line in Shanghai, vowing to challenge the dominance of Airbus and Boeing in the global commercial aviation market.
At the ceremony, a shiny C919 - sporting a largely white fuselage with a blue wavy stripe and a green tail - was towed beneath a banner with the phrase "a dream takes off" and past a huge Chinese national flag.
The C919 - a twin-engine, narrow-body aircraft seating up to 174 people - is similar in size to the Airbus 320 and Boeing 737 series of jets, long the workhorses for airlines around the world.
With a flying range of up to 5,555 kilometers (3,451 miles), it is designed to compete head-to-head with its Airbus and Boeing rivals, and said to easily cover popular business and leisure routes from China such as Shanghai to Singapore and Beijing to Bangkok.
Launched in 2008, the C919 project marks China's return to the business of making large passenger jetliners, after a failed attempt in the 1980s. | aerospace |

The Federal Aviation Administration reported that a Eurocopter AS350 helicopter crushed down in the river near Roosevelt Island at 7 p.m.
Here is a YouTube video of the red tour helicopter splashing down in the river and go belly-up as its rotors hack at the water.
Only two Eurocopter AS350’s are registered with the FAA in the area and both of them belong to the New Jersey parent company of tour operator Fly Liberty Charters, FAA records show. Fly Liberty was not available for comment at the moment.
Police reports say that at least two persons were killed and one was rescued from the water. Witnesses said that the pilot climbed out of the sinking helicopter and screamed for help.
‘There was about a minute where we didn’t see anyone come out, then after a minute we saw a man come out holding onto a raft screaming, ‘Help! help! Ah!’ and then inaudible screams… It was horrifying.’ said witness Brianna Jesme according to The New York Post.
Sources say that the pilot had called in a emergency to the La-Guardia Airport air-traffic control tower before crashing into the water.
Witness Mary Lee, age 66, told The New York Post that she saw the helicopter go down from her apartment window and said that she ‘immediately thought someone was in there and not going to live… it’s cold water, it was sinking really fast.’
‘By the time we got out here, we couldn’t see it. It was under water.’ she added.
The Federal Aviation Administration stated that ‘The helicopter reportedly is inverted in the water. Local authorities will confirm the number of people on board, their names and conditions’.

"Pioneer the future for the benefit of all." - NASA
Meet "Apollo" - Houston's Summer Limited Edition 2019
Fifty years ago, our American predecessors landed on the moon. The Apollo 11 project represents one of the greatest achievements in human history. During Summer 2019, our nation will commemorate the 50th anniversary of the first moon landing.
Houston designed this Summer Limited Edition Spiritile to celebrate the men and women who made this extraordinary feat of American ingenuity possible. To this day, the scale of the Apollo program’s dedication, teamwork, and engineering genius is staggering. The project ran on tight timeframes and under intense pressure. Thanks to the persistence and discernment of the mathematicians, engineers, physicists, and programmers behind this project, we were the first to land astronauts on the moon and bring them safely home.
And not only that! As a result of the Apollo programs, we discovered technologies such as CAT scanners, computer microchips, water filtration, solar panels, heart monitors, and home insulation. The teams behind Apollo not only achieved their goals, they pioneered the future for the benefit of all humanity.
We owe these lesser known heroes our gratitude. We owe them our present.To honor their efforts and further their legacy, Houston Llew will donate the profit of each “Apollo” Spiritile to the National Math & Science Initiative, which is dedicated to advancing STEM education among all American youth.
“Apollo” will be available to order until September 2nd, 2019. Join us in celebrating our past, so that we may pioneer our future for the benefit of all. | aerospace |

Roads in Kenya and Tanzania are fairly horrendous.
They will beat you up, beat up your equipment, cover
you in a lovely, light red or tan dust, and waste hours
of your precious safari days.
These are just a few reasons we fly on safari.
Flying with Mark Ross
Mark Ross owns and flies his own turbine 14-seat aircraft. Both Mark and the aircraft are rated for night flying and instrument flying, so total safety and flexibility is guaranteed on every safari. And since the aircraft will never be flying empty legs during your safari the operation of the plane couldn’t be more efficient.
Typically, having your own personal plane and pilot with you for the duration of your two week safari only adds about $475 per person. Flying the entire safari is easier, safer, far more relaxing, cleaner and, of course, gives you about 400% MORE TIME in the parks and reserves than if you were to drive the safari.
Somewhat surprisingly, with the Cessna Caravan you can also bring more luggage than were you to be traveling by road. The Caravan has four cargo holds as well as hundreds of cubic feet of storage in the cabin area.
When you range father afield, to Rwanda or Uganda to see the gorillas, to Tanzania to visit the Serengeti, Zanzibar, or to climb Kilimanjaro, you’re savings of both money and time are even greater.
Traveling by air
Chartering an aircraft in Kenya is certainly possible and easily done, but you’ll end up paying more than double the price you would pay if the plane stays with you for your entire safari. The cost is more than double because the aircraft will return to Nairobi after dropping you off, and then will come back out, empty, to collect and you and take you to your next destination. Afterwards, the aircraft will again return to Nairobi empty.
Flying with the local airlines is great, but the companies don’t fly to many of the more interesting places and, of course, you must match their schedules and days. | aerospace |

We’ve all been to the moon, and we’re about to visit Mars.
Space exploration is still in its infancy. So many things still need to be done to explore, discover and settle in outer space. But the first steps have already been taken – space tech is now a mainstream technology.
This is no longer a dream – it’s a reality.
What Is Space Tech?
Space technology or space tech refers to the application of engineering principles to the design, development, manufacture, and operation of devices and systems for space travel and exploration.
Space technology can be used to explore other planets, study the universe, and provide communication and navigation services to support human activities.
It encompasses everything from satellites and other instruments to the human aspects of space travel, such as astronautics, physics, chemistry, and biology.
Space tech also covers research and development of new technologies, new applications for existing technologies, and improvement of technologies for existing space systems.
Precisely, space tech is a wide-ranging term used to describe any technological advance or tool that is created specifically for use in outer space, whether it be for communication, navigation, exploration, or some other purpose.
Current Challenges In The Space Sector
The space industry is dynamic and ever-changing. It has many challenges, which are both technical and regulatory. The following are some of the challenges faced by the space industry.
- Technological Limitations: Space exploration has been a topic of interest for many countries in recent years. However, the technologies used in these missions are pretty costly and difficult to maintain. Moreover, space technology is highly complex as compared to the technologies used on Earth and has proven to be a challenge in terms of maintenance and usage.
- Lack of Funding: Space exploration is a risky business. Not only does it involve considerable amounts of money, but it also involves the risk of life if something goes wrong. It is very challenging to get funding for space exploration and is often met with criticism from certain people who argue that investing in space exploration is wasteful.
- Limited Knowledge: The space industry is an extremely complex industry which requires a large amount of technical expertise to develop. Only a handful of people have the expertise to create such technologies.
- High Failure Rate: The high failure rate of current space technology is another challenge facing the space industry. For example, satellites used to provide communication services are highly complex and are susceptible to faults and breakdowns due to natural and man-made causes.
- National and International Regulations: Governments regulate many aspects of space activities, including the launch of satellites, the use of space technologies, and access to outer space. Different space-related agencies also enforce these regulations. Besides this, there are also regulations relating to the use of space resources, spaceflight safety, and space debris.
- Lack Of Space Infrastructure: Space exploration requires a lot of things to be taken care of before a mission can be successfully carried out. Well-organized space infrastructure is needed to support space exploration. This includes things like transportation and storage, as well as the maintenance and operation of satellites. Without the right space infrastructure, space exploration is almost impossible.
- Less Initiative: The fact that there is not much initiative towards space exploration is another challenge the space industry faces. It has been argued that the lack of space industry initiatives is mainly due to people’s lack of interest. Moreover, it has also been argued that governments and other interested parties do not really understand the benefits of space exploration.
- Environmental factors: One of the challenges of space exploration is its impact on the environment. Space activities have a detrimental effect on the environment. For example, the use of high-powered rockets to launch satellites creates significant amounts of dust which pollutes the Earth’s atmosphere. Furthermore, space activities are also responsible for the creation of space debris which can cause severe damage to the Earth’s orbit.
- Risk factors: Many risk factors make space exploration a risky business. These include space-related risks such as orbital decay, space weather, radiation, and debris. Other risks include technical risks, such as failure and malfunctions, as well as political risks, such as conflict or environmental risks.
Space Tech Use Cases
Space technology has made lots of advancements in the last few decades. The use of space tech has changed many industries and also made life easier for us. Some of the important use cases are:
- Space Tourism: This is a new kind of tourism that involves people travelling to space for a few days or months. This is a recent trend as people have been getting more interested in space exploration. It is mainly popular with the rich because of the expense involved in going to space, as well as the fact that it is a very rare experience. Companies like Virgin Galactic and SpaceX are making plans to offer this kind of space tourism.
- Space Robotics: Robots are widely used today because of their ability to perform repetitive tasks, which are difficult for humans. Robots are used in many industries, including the medical industry, defence industry, manufacturing, etc. However, the most prominent use of robotics is in space exploration. A large number of space robots are sent into space to accomplish different tasks. These tasks include maintenance, construction, search and rescue, and science.
- Astronomy & Astrophysics: The use of space technology in astronomy and astrophysics has significantly improved our understanding of the universe. For example, the Hubble Space Telescope and the Chandra X-Ray Observatory are two great space telescopes that have made significant contributions to astronomy and astrophysics.
- Remote Sensing: Remote sensing is the collection of information from space about things on the Earth. It helps to measure physical parameters like temperature, elevation, wind speed, water, crop yields, pollution levels, forest fires, etc. These data are then used to monitor environmental conditions, monitor weather, and assess climate change. It is also useful in identifying problems in different parts of the world.
- Earth Science: Earth Science is the study of the physical properties of the Earth. Space tech has helped scientists identify mineral resources, find minerals and oil deposits, and even observe changes in the environment. The use of space technology in earth science has improved the quality of our knowledge of the Earth. For example, satellites can be used to measure land use and natural resources, estimate crop yields, study earthquakes, floods, drought, and more.
- Space Medicine: Space medicine refers to the medical aspects of space exploration. Many risks are associated with human space travel, including cosmic radiation, decompression sickness (DCS), microgravity, etc. Space medicine helps astronauts to mitigate these risks. For example, astronauts wear spacesuits that protect them from cosmic radiation, decompression sickness, and other space hazards. They also carry medicines to treat these hazards when they occur. Space medicine also makes it possible for them to perform surgeries in orbit or in deep space.
- Space Engineering: Space engineering is the science of designing, building, operating and maintaining space systems. It involves the development of space systems as well as their operation and maintenance. Space technology has helped develop many space systems like the Hubble Space Telescope, Chandra X-Ray Observatory, and many others.
- Space Architecture: Space architecture is the practice of planning, designing, constructing and using space structures. It includes the design and construction of spacecraft and other space structures like the International Space Station (ISS) and space habitats, as well as the design and construction of rockets, launch pads and other infrastructure.
- Space Mining: Space mining is the extraction of minerals, metals, and other materials from outer space. It is done through the use of spacecraft or by humans. For example, asteroids have been identified as being rich in water and other resources. The use of space technology in space mining has improved our ability to identify and extract these resources.
- Astrobiology: Astrobiology is the study of life in the universe. Astrobiology also helps us to understand the origin and evolution of life on Earth. It helps to study the relationship between the planets and their moons in the solar system. It also helps us to understand how life may have started on other planets.
- Planetary Geology: Planetary geology is the study of the physical processes that occur on the surfaces of planets and their moons. It involves studying these bodies’ composition, structure, and geological processes. It also involves understanding the impact of those processes on the environment.
- Satellite Communication: Satellites provide communication links for the world. They are used for many things like sending TV signals, tracking weather patterns, controlling nuclear weapons, etc. These satellites use radio waves, which are in the form of electromagnetic radiation. They are useful for wireless data transmission. They also enable global positioning systems (GPS), mobile phones, and other types of communications. They are also used for broadcasting television programs and radio programs.
- Spacecraft Propulsion: Spacecraft propulsion is the process by which a spacecraft is propelled through space. It can be done using any type of fuel. For example, spacecraft propulsion involves chemical reactions that release energy to push the spacecraft forward. It can also involve nuclear reactors that power spacecraft using nuclear fusion. The use of rocket engines has helped to propel spacecraft from Earth into space. Some spacecraft have been propelled by solar energy or by nuclear power. They can also be propelled by a combination of both.
- Satellite Manufacturing: Satellite manufacture is the process of making satellites. It includes designing the satellite, fabricating and assembling it, testing it, and integrating it.
- Aerial Imagery: Aerial imagery is the collection of images taken from above Earth by aircraft, balloons, or satellites. It provides a bird’s-eye view of places. It is used for many things like mapping the Earth’s surface, taking photos of land, and surveying the land.
- Space Farming: Space farming involves the growing of plants in space. It involves the use of various techniques and technologies to grow plants and food in space.
Spacetech Startups & Companies
Several companies have disrupted the space industry and created new markets. Here we will explore the top startups that have helped us separate space tech from regular technology.
SpaceX is a private company founded by Elon Musk, an American entrepreneur, inventor, engineer, and designer who is also a co-founder of PayPal and Tesla Motors. The company was founded in 2002 to develop advanced launch vehicles for commercial, military, and civil applications. The launch of SpaceX’s Falcon 1 rocket in June 2006 made it the first private company to launch a spacecraft into orbit successfully. After this successful launch, the company continued to launch its Dragon spacecraft, which made a successful test flight in May 2010, and a successful commercial cargo flight in March 2013. On 29 September 2015, SpaceX successfully launched its first reused Falcon 9 rocket with the first stage landing back at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station. In November 2016, SpaceX successfully launched the world’s most powerful rocket, the Falcon Heavy. The company plans to develop more powerful rockets.
Rocket Lab is a New Zealand-based company that offers microlaunch services and satellite launches for government and commercial clients. The company was founded in 2011 by Peter Beck and Jarrod Wight. Its main competitor is SpaceX. Rocket Lab uses small, expendable rockets called Electron vehicles to launch satellites into orbit.
Virgin Galactic is a space tourism company founded by Richard Branson in 2004. The company provides commercial suborbital flights, including those for tourists. The company has achieved numerous successes and milestones since it was founded, including the first test flight of the SpaceShipTwo and the first commercial human space flight, which was carried out on 12 April 2013.
Future Of SpaceTech
We have been living on planet earth for quite a while, but there’s still so much space out there for us to explore, discover, and settle on. Our current generation, the next, and the one after that are going to live and work in space. We can’t do this without technological advances. The world is heading in this direction with the development of new technologies in space. Space is an infinite resource; there’s no reason why it should only be for the big players in the business. Smaller startups can make great contributions to the space industry and help us learn more about the universe.
The current space startups are not only helping us better understand the universe, but also contributing to research and development for future innovations. We will see new technologies in space in the coming years. We cannot predict exactly what they will be, but we can be sure that they will be innovative.
We might see more of robotics, AI, and ML in the short term as we see more satellites and other objects being launched into orbit.
Space tourism is another area where small startups can contribute significantly to developing the future of space travel. With a lot of smaller companies, we will see more private spaceflight, and we can expect to see space hotels in the near future.
It’s a fact that space tech will get more commercial in the long run, and more and more startups will get involved.

The LADEE Mission accomplishes a number of firsts—it is the first deep space mission to launch from the Wallops Flight Facility, as well as the first payload to launch on the U.S. Air Force’s Minotaur V rocket. The Minotaur V launch vehicle was built by Virginia company Orbital Sciences.
The LADEE spacecraft was constructed using Modular Common Spacecraft Bus Architecture, representing a departure from custom design towards assembly production and multi-use design in order to reduce costs.
Upon completing three phasing orbits around the earth, the LADEE spacecraft will enter the moon’s orbit through a three-minute Lunar Orbit Insertion maneuver that involves firing the spacecraft’s onboard propellant for approximately three minutes.
After being captured by the moon’s gravitational field, LADEE will orbit around the moon for a 100-day science phase to collect data and study the lunar atmosphere. The moon’s atmosphere is classified as a surface boundary exosphere, a thin layer that is theorized to be the most common type of atmosphere in the universe.
Scientists hope to determine the density, composition and variability of the moon’s atmosphere, as well as learn more about the lunar dust environment. Knowledge gained through this mission can be extrapolated to the atmosphere of other planets, including Earth.
With another Antares mission expected to launch in mid-September from the MARS facility, Virginia remains at the forefront of U.S. space exploration. MARS is one of only four commercial sites authorized by the FAA for orbital space launches, and offers an ideal trajectory for earth orbit insertion.

The Student Nitric Oxide Explorer (SNOE), also known as Explorer 72 and STEDI 1, was a small scientific satellite which studied the concentration of nitric oxide in the thermosphere. It was launched in 1998 as part of NASA's Explorers program. The satellite was the first of three missions developed within the Student Explorer Demonstration Initiative (STEDI) funded by NASA. The satellite was developed by the University of Colorado Boulder's Laboratory for Atmospheric and Space Physics (LASP) and had met its goals by the time its mission ended with reentry on December 13, 2003.
SNOE had a compact hexagonal structure 0.99 m (3.23 ft) high and 0.94 m (3.08 ft) wide with a mass of 115 kg (254 lb). It was spin-stabilized at five revolutions per minute, and its axis of rotation was perpendicular to the orbital plane. The exterior of the satellite was covered with solar cells that provide 37 watts.
SNOE was equipped with three scientific instruments:
- An Ultraviolet Spectrometer, which performs a vertical profile of the concentration of nitric oxide.
- A two-channel Auroral Photometer, which performs measurements of auroral emissions beneath the satellite.
- A five-channel Solar X-ray Photometer, which measures the soft X-ray emissions by the Sun.
The satellite features a GPS receiver to accurately determine its orbit and orientation.
SNOE was the 72nd mission of the Explorer program by NASA dedicated to the scientific investigation of the space environment of the Earth. SNOE was the first of three projects developed within the university satellite program (STEDI) whose objective is to reach students in the development of satellites with limited means in the context of the strategy of "faster, better, cheaper" promoted by then-NASA administrator Daniel Goldin. The program was funded by NASA and managed by the Universities Space Research Association. The mission, developed by the University of Colorado Boulder in 1994, was selected among 66 proposals to be one of the six pre-selected satellites of the program. In February 1995 the satellite was selected along with TERRIERS of Boston University and CATSAT of the University of Leicester in the United Kingdom. SNOE was built and operated entirely by the Laboratory for Atmospheric and Space Physics of the university.
The objective of the mission was the detailed study of variations in the concentration of nitrogen monoxide in the thermosphere. Nitric oxide, though a minor component of this region of space, has a significant impact on the composition of ions in the ionosphere and in the heat of the thermosphere. The detailed objectives are:
- Detailing how the variations of X-ray radiation from the sun affects the density of nitric oxide in the lower layer of the thermosphere.
- How auroral activity increases the amount of nitric oxide in the polar regions.
SNOE was launched on 26 February 1998 at 07:07 UTC by a Pegasus-XL rocket, along with the Teledesic T1 satellite. The rocket was lofted by Orbital Sciences' Stargazer L-1011 aircraft based out of Vandenberg Air Force Base . SNOE was placed into a Sun-synchronous orbit of 535 by 580 km (332 by 360 mi) with an inclination of 97.7 degrees. The spacecraft functioned normally until its orbit degraded and it reentered the atmosphere on 13 December 2003.
Selected science results
The limb-scanning Ultraviolet Spectrometer on SNOE observed polar mesospheric clouds, finding that PMCs occur more frequently in the northern latitudes than in the southern, but that they otherwise conform well to the standard model of cloud formation. SNOE also helped to map the effect of global X-rays on the atmosphere.
Enhanced fluxes of solar soft X-rays were detected by SNOE. Solar soft X-ray irradiance was measured by the spacecraft's Solar X-ray Photometer (SXP) between 2 and 20 nm, and covered irradiance levels outside of solar minimum and maximum conditions. In the 2 to 7 nm interval the irradiance levels ranged from 0.3 to 2.5 mW/m2, while in the 6 to 19 nm interval the range was observed to be 0.5 to 3.5 mW/m2. These values were a factor of four times higher than those predicted by the Hinteregger, et al. (1981) empirical model.

The real-life experiments were sent into space earlier this month and are being monitored for 30 days by astronauts on the International Space Station, 220 miles above the Earth’s surface. The astronauts will record their findings and send the results back to NASA.
One experiment will test the effectiveness of antibiotics in space, something that has never been examined before. The other experiment will look at whether slime mould grows in 3D in space due to the lack of gravity. The pupils won the opportunity as part of the International Space School Educational Trust’s 2012 Mission Discovery Programme, held at King’s College London.
They were among 250 secondary pupils who, with guidance from a former astronaut, NASA leaders and scientists from King’s College, designed experiments to be conducted in space. The winning teams were chosen by a panel of judges led by Professor Steve Harridge, director of the Centre of Human and Aerospace Physiological Sciences at King’s College London.
The winners have spent the last year turning their projects into workable experiments and were invited to King’s College to watch the launch via a live feed.
Prof Harridge said: “We are delighted to be involved in such a unique initiative, which aims to inspire the next generation of scientists. This has been an excellent opportunity for young people to meet world-leading experts in the field and work on a real-life experiment that will be undertaken on the International Space Station.” CAPTION: Far-out: Students prepare their experiments with support from staff at Kings College London | aerospace |

At the core of this visionary project is the fusion of traditional geostationary satellites with cutting-edge Low Earth Orbit LEO satellites, creating a seamless network that combines the strengths of both orbits. Geostationary satellites, positioned at fixed points above the Earth’s equator, have long been the workhorses of communication and weather observation. However, their inherent limitations, such as latency and bandwidth constraints, have spurred the need for innovation. Orbit Odyssey addresses these challenges by integrating LEO satellites into the equation. These satellites operate at lower altitudes, allowing for reduced signal latency and enhanced data transfer capabilities.
New hybrid satellite technology combination of geostationary and LEO satellites in a hybrid system results in a robust and versatile satellite network can cater to a diverse array of applications. One of the key advantages of Orbit Odyssey is its ability to optimize communication services. Traditional satellites have struggled to provide low-latency communication, particularly in remote areas. The hybrid architecture of Orbit Odyssey tackles this issue head-on, ensuring that users in even the most remote locations experience improved connectivity. This makes the technology particularly relevant for sectors such as maritime communication, disaster response, and rural connectivity, where instantaneous data transfer can be critical. Moreover, Orbit Odyssey opens up new horizons for Earth observation. The combination of geostationary and LEO satellites allows for more frequent and comprehensive monitoring of our planet. The hybrid system facilitates real-time data collection with high spatial resolution, enabling more accurate weather forecasting, environmental monitoring, and disaster management.
This enhanced observational capability holds great promise for scientific research, climate studies, and resource management. As we embark on the Orbit Odyssey, the implications for space exploration are also profound. The hybrid satellite system offers a cost-effective and efficient means of supporting interplanetary missions. Communication with spacecraft and rovers on distant celestial bodies becomes more reliable, paving the way for breakthroughs in space exploration and expanding our understanding of the cosmos. In conclusion, Orbit Odyssey marks a pivotal moment in satellite technology, fusing the strengths of geostationary and LEO satellites to create a hybrid system that is greater than the sum of its parts. This pioneering initiative not only addresses the limitations of existing satellite technology but also opens up new possibilities for communication, Earth observation, and space exploration. As the Odyssey unfolds, it propels us into a future where the boundless potential of hybrid satellites shapes the way we connect, observe, and explore the vast reaches of space. | aerospace |

Previously one might have seen them being flown by the military. Now that people recognize their potential as a utility aircraft, a variety of drones in all shapes and sizes are appearing in the skies, offering their pilots unparalleled views.
Before drones, extended selfie sticks and climbing trees seemed like too much of a hassle (or hazard) to get good videos or photos from above. Depending on their battery life and optimal range, drones can offer you views for miles around or get into tight spaces for the most difficult of shots. Either way, choosing the right drone is going to be a challenge, which is why we’ve prepared a guide to help you decide the one that’s good for your wallet, skills, and needs.
Types of Drones
The drone frenzy doesn’t appear to be slowing down anytime soon. In the optics and video making world, the view and perspective provided by drones can be breathtaking. Not only are people snatching up drones, but they are specifically after camera-equipped drones.
These drones come equipped with different quality of cameras while others are built to hold smaller cameras and GoPros. Depending on your experience level and the shooting you want to do, different drones will be more applicable to you than others. The higher the quality and the heavier the payload, the more expensive the drone. We don’t recommend fidgeting with the drones that come with cameras, as the drones themselves are extremely delicate.
You’ll see a variety of drones on the market, but the majority of them are going to be quadcopters, which offer the most stable flight. However, you’ll see everything from cute little single propellers to massive behemoths that can sport six or eight propellers.
Because drones are a relatively new technology available to the public, it can be difficult to choose a brand to place your trust in. Smaller, beginner drones are going to be the most numerous of the drone types, and thus there are many manufacturers. However, there are a few brands that have separated themselves from the competition and notoriety within the drone community:
- DJI—One of the most well-known drone manufacturers. They make the “Phantom” model which is a very popular line of drones.
- Yuneec—Manufacturers higher quality drones with advanced systems. Typically marketed towards the higher end hobbyist and professional.
- Autel—A newer startup that created the X-Star (listed below). As a smaller company, they have a create customer service reputation aside from having a reliable drone.
- Force1—Makers of smaller, more numerous drones that don’t have high-quality cameras, but are still a joy to fly.
These drones are the cheapest on the market, but that shouldn’t be a reflection of their trustworthiness. While inexpensive, they can still carry basic cameras (most being 720p quality) or different types of GoPros. They’ll get the job done and be generous to your wallet.
They are the perfect entry-level drones not just because they are small and cheap, but because their flight time is usually pretty short which keeps them in range of you or whoever is the pilot. As a result, you should probably fly them around or close to home for an easy recovery.
Best drones under $100
The X5C is one of the cheapest drones on our list and one of the best in terms of all-around quality. The photos and videos you take on its HD camera are pretty standard and nothing too special. With a flight time of 6 minutes, you’re pretty limited on what you’re able to do, which also makes it a versatile indoor/outdoor aircraft.
While the flight time is indeed small, it doesn’t limit the aircraft on where it can fly. The indoors are a perfect environment to operate without having to worry about the wind taking it and throwing it off course. Onboard nighttime lights will also come in handy if you’re looking to fly it in the evening.

The X8tw is a unique drone in that its 720p HD camera comes built into the body of the drone. This will appeal to concerned drone users if the drone malfunctions or bumps into the something—the camera is protected within the body. This doesn’t mean that you should fly around recklessly!
You can fly the X8tw with either a remote control or by your fingers if you choose to download the app for iOS or Android. This drone is perfect for beginners looking to mesh their skills with aerial photography and flying in general.
The APP-RC takes the cake for one of the coolest looking drones of any price. It looks like something you’d find in a video game or movie. Better yet, it almost fit’s in the palm of your hand with its built in 480p (0.3MP HD) camera. The APP-RC used unusually advanced technology for its control and imaging systems, allowing the user to see through the eyes of the drone from a smartphone app and recall with a push of a button on the controller.
Its propellers are completely encased in air guards. Most drone’s you’ll see only have the air guards around portions of the propellers because they add weight and shift airflow around the drone. If you end up dropping the APP-RC, chances are it’ll fair a lot better than most drones. Its small size will also help in minimizing damage.
The camera isn’t the best quality in the world and flight time is about six minutes. That being said, the fact that it does have a camera mean’s you’ll still be able to use it to take pictures, you just won’t have much time to do so. Regardless, the APP-RC is still a very reliable drone that will be fun for everyone from the beginner to the pro.
GordVE RC Drone
The GordVE is also another drone with a sleek, almost sci-fi look design. It’s about twice the size of the APP-RC and is praised by users just as much. A flying time of around 8-9 minutes gives it a little boost over the APP-RC. The drone also comes equipped with a headless mode, giving it increased agility and mobility.
The most notable fact about the GordVE is its camera, capable of 720p and 1080p, which is almost unheard of for a drone of this size and price. Furthermore, if you happen to have a VR headset or glasses, you can connect to your phone and see what the drone sees. Now that is some next level technology.
Best drones under $200
Holy Stone F181 RC Quadcopter Drone
Holy Stone’s F181 is a comfortable compromise between affordability and versatility as a beginner’s drone. It’s 2MP (megapixel) will deliver you crisp photos from wherever it’s positioned in the sky. Perhaps its greatest quality is its “headless” system, which means the drone will always fly forward, backward, side to side regardless of which way the “front” of the drone is facing. With different percentages of power settings, this is perfect for beginners looking to test their skills over time.
One drawback of the F181 is its meager flight time, anywhere between 7-9 minutes and a range of only 100 meters. This means that it’s preferable for beginners who aren’t looking to go up high or too far away. With a total charge time of around 80 minutes, it seems a little unbalanced regarding what you get from flight time.
As a result, you should plan out where and what you want to see with your drone before you lift off. Once the charge runs out, your drone should be nearby, or in your hands otherwise, it’ll drop out of the sky!
The DBPOWER drone is well liked among the drone community for its durability and maneuverability. Many users have complimented the DBPOWER on its ability to withstand (moderate) punishment and keep flying. It has a different overall design than Holy Stone’s and TOZO’s with a small body and its propellers located inside their respective guards.
Like the F181, the DBPOWER can be controlled via an app on your smartphone. Even more, you can tilt your smartphone in any direction, and FPV will respond accordingly. If you’re feeling brave, give the DBPOWER’s 360-degree flip capability a try! The DBPOWER comes with a 720p HD camera that will have to be set manually before flight.
Force1 U45W Blue Jay
The Force1 Blue Jay is a cutting-edge beginners drone, mainly due to its features and capabilities that allow the user a wide range of viewing and function. Like some of the drones on this list, it is controllable via WiFi and a smartphone app and can be viewed through a VR headset/glasses.
One of the Blue Jay’s most interesting features is its ability to fly a set path unassisted from a pilot. If you’re unsure about your skills as a pilot, you can try out the Blue Jay’s onboard navigation and allow it to fly itself to its destination along a series of points.
Force1 UDI U818A
Force1 also manufacturers the UDI drone. This drone is somewhat similar in design to the Blue Jay and just as fancy when it comes to capabilities. The UDI shares the same route mode that the Blue Jay has, enabling it to fly along a series of points that you create for it.
A 720p/2mp camera is perfect for a beginner pilot and photographer. As a forethought, you should try mastering the drone before you try to take the craziest shots possible.
Some people like the skip cheaper drones and go straight to the best sellers. Companies such as DJI and Yuneec are some of the most well-known drone makers due to their unique design of drone. While the following drones aren’t necessarily made for children, they’re not the most difficult to handle either. If your child or friend who has no experience with drones, check out one of the ones below. Be sure they practice long before they start pulling crazy maneuvers and flips.
These drones will probably require less assembly and an easier learning curve than the ones built for pros but need more patience and practice than the beginners. Since they are more pricey, we recommend you study tutorials or even converse with fellow owners about your newer drone if possible.
Best drones under $500
The DJI Spark is the first “mini” drone to make our hobbyist’s list. The 12mp/1080p camera and video automatically qualify it in the optics business, but what makes it worth its price tag?
When we think of mini-drones, we’re normally aware of their short flight time. However, the Spark uses a more powerful 11.4V LiPo battery, doubling it’s smaller cousin’s flight time from 8-9 minutes to about 16 to 17 minutes depending on flight patterns. Like most of the hobby drones on this list, a smartphone app allows you to see where the drone is going while you use a remote control to dictate its movements.
Since the Spark is one of the latest pieces of DJI technology and the smallest at that, it comes with propeller guards for increased protection against accidents. Especially with the price involved with the Spark, you want to take every precaution possible to ensure its safety.
Force1 F100 Ghost
The F100 Ghost is a basic design for a much lower price than drones that come with their cameras or GoPros. The F100 specifically can carry the GoPro Hero 3 or 4. Keep in mind this will add extra weight to the drone and detract from total flight time. Regardless, it will save you from having to buy a more expensive drone that will come with a camera-equipped.
Drones can make a lot of noise with their fast-spinning propellers (not counting how many of them they have). The F100 utilizes brushless fans that spin more quietly. If you have neighbors that were upset at the sound of your last drone, they’ll be much more accepting of this one. If you’re feeling even more daring, try testing out the F100’s maneuverability in a 360-degree loop!
The Bebop compliments its cute appearance with an arrangement of stats and abilities that make it worth its price tag. First and foremost, the camera shoots 1080p videos and 14mp pictures, which is pretty high quality for a drone of its size and price. The camera itself is built into the body of the drone, so there’s need to worry about the drone crashing and crushing the camera under it.
The Bebop comes with a state of the art controller along with VR goggles (connected via the smartphone app), so you can see through the eyes of the drone. This feature can provide you with enhanced mobility and awareness of the drone’s surroundings.
What many users have enjoyed about the Bebop is its near half-hour flight time, which is a huge boost over the beginner drones. That being said, using the Bebop’s smart features to keep it safe and within range will dramatically extend its lifetime.
Best drones under $800
DJI Phantom P3
The Phantom is probably one of the better all-around drones in every aspect compared to drones both more or less expensive. An extended 25 minutes of flight time is sure to give you enough time to accomplish what you want to see or shoot with its attached 2.7K video/12mp camera. This camera is a much higher quality photo/video taker than any other drone before it, which is why it’s the most popular. You’ve probably seen someone’s phantom flying around with its distinctive white and red paint scheme.
The Phantom’s flight controls can be a little tricky, so we recommend experience with easier or small drones, to begin with. The Phantom uses WiFi, GPS, and an onboard compass to maintain its flight, and having complete control over all is going to take some practice.
However, once you master having to handle the “flying samurai sword” as one user joked, you can expect your videos and pictures to turn out even better.
DJI Phantom 3 Professional
The Phantom 3 is the face of the drone industry, and its line of products is probably one of the most numerous in the sky (discounting smaller, indoor drones). The Phantom 3 has a wide reputation for also being the best all-around drone for a number of reasons including price, flight time, and camera quality.
A 4k UHD(30 frames per second)/12mp video and camera are some of the most high-quality optics available to amateurs for under a grand. The Phantom sits right on the median between amateur and pro, with most drones following being more for professionals with specific jobs.
If you’re a beginner looking to jump right into the Phantom 3, then you’re in luck. The Phantom 3 comes with a beginner’s system that will show you the basics of this advanced drone before you start to fly like an experienced pilot. This drone has just about everything you could ever need. Its various systems will allow you to get precise shots and remain aloft for just over twenty minutes.
The photo taking is amazing, but the Phantom 3 is known primarily for the 4k video quality, almost unparalleled in the drone market unless you want to spend more money. With the drone’s versatility, it seems ludicrous to not take advantage of long video shots as the drone flies overhead.
Autel Robotics X-Star Premium
The Autel X-Star is a simple looking drone not too unlike the Phantom 3. A 4k camera separates it from the competition. The X-Star is unique with its smartphone/tablet app in that if the app crashes or your phone dies during flight, the remote control has an LCD light that will tell you when the battery is low. That being said, you should (and are required) to keep the drone within sight.
The mounting device linking the drone with the camera is removable. The X-Star gives you the option of mounting a different camera or trying out modifications. If you do want to modify the drone in any way, you should consult drone forums for advice before trying to pry pieces away from the body.
As you can probably tell by now, flying drones is no easy feat. The price tag and learning curve are directly related—as one increases, so does the other. The following drones are equipped with (or can carry) some of the best quality cameras that are drone applicable.
These drones aren’t for beginners. The experienced drone pilot will have good knowledge of a particular aircraft’s advanced systems in order to maximize the efficiency of photo or video taking. They will also know the basics on how to keep the aircraft out of harm’s way. This is why you’ll commonly see the operators of these drones with experience in a variety of other drones.
Best drones under $1000
Yuneec TYPHOON Flight Aerial Videography Hexacopter
The Typhoon has an even more intricate design as a hexacopter with six rotating propellers. This drone marks the transition from amateur to professional with its hefty price tag. The Typhoon’s advanced GPS system allows it to track the user without controls from a remote or phone. Whether you’re walking, running, or swimming, the Typhoon will follow at a distance and provide you with unbeatable views from above with 4k, Ultra HD quality.
- A notable feature of the Typhoon is the presence of a fail-safe rotor system. In the event one or more propellers fail, the drone will automatically adjust to the loss of power and keep itself from crashing to the ground as long as possible until you can recover it.
There are similar drones for around the same price, so what makes the Typhoon so different? To start, the camera has a 360-degree range of motion and a 98-degree field of view. This enables it to see most things directly below it without moving a mechanical muscle. This feature is only one of many “smart” features that the Typhoon is capable of which makes its price tag all the more worth it.
DJI Mavic Pro
The Mavic Pro is another intuitive design by DJI so you’re probably asking, what makes it so different from the Phantom 3 or the next step up, the T600? First off, it’s a pretty versatile drone. We like to use that word a lot, but the Mavic Pro really takes it to the next level. It can fly close to 40mph at top speed and its wings can fold to a compact size. It has a maximum range of 4.3 miles, which is almost unheard of when we look at cheaper and smaller drones.
- These physical features already compliment the drone’s 4k camera, which sits in the nose of the aircraft. Furthermore, the camera is perfectly stabilized along 3 axis’ in the nose, giving you stable pictures and videos for the duration of the flight.
Like the Spark, the Mavic Pro also utilizes a hand control recognition system but to a lesser extent. This drone takes many of the strengths of other DJI products and combines them into one, really fast drone.
Best drones over $2000
DJI T600-Dual-Controllers Inspire 1 Quadcopter
Sometimes being a pilot and photographer can be a hassle if you combine the two jobs. The FAA wouldn’t be happy with you! That’s why the designers at DJI have created the T600 (not the terminator) to split the jobs of pilot and photographer and maximize performance. The T600 comes with two controllers—one for the pilot and the other for the photographer/videographer. This innovative design will help you and a partner control both functions optimally without compromising the other’s ability.
A 4k/12mp camera will surely accomplish all of your photo and video taking needs as this drone has the capability to fly nearly 1.2 miles away and stream whatever it sees directly back to you.
So what makes this drone special in our hearts? Aside from the astounding 4k/12mp camera, it has indoor and outdoor uses via its intricate design. This gives it a more steady flight pattern compared to other drones with heavier propellors or unusual designs.
The ALTA UAV is the ultimate workhorse for the professional artist. The price tag is astronomical, but we reckon you know what you’re if you’re considering this drone. This heavy-duty drone is strong enough to carry a basic film camera or any optics up to fifteen pounds. For easier transport, the ALTA folds up nicely.
Obviously, it’s not made to make the nifty flips and turns like the smaller drones, but you’re likely to get some of the best shots and videos of any drone on this list with the ALTA. Despite its size, the ALTA’s highly sophisticated controller allows for more complicated maneuvers. It would be very good idea to test your skills on a variety of drones before taking this beast on.
So you’ve purchased a drone…
Congratulations! You’re almost ready to get your drone in the air. First things first, however, there are a couple of very important pointers and regulations you are required to know before your drone can even leave your house.
Most beginner’s drones, due to their small size, can’t go beyond your house. Most only have flight times of less than ten minutes. Regardless, the Federal Aviation Administration is extremely particular about keeping drones away from vital areas such as airports, power stations, and densely populated areas.
As such, the FAA has created a list of drones (usually some of the bigger ones) that it requires you to register if you own it. If you are the owner of the drone, the FAA will usually require you to register as a pilot as well. This may seem a little detrimental to the fun you’re looking to have, but it’s all necessary. This registration and various courses on drone safety will educate you on piloting best practices.
Once you’ve completed any and all necessary documentation and courses with the FAA, you’re free to enjoy your drone!
Your drone is an expensive piece of equipment, and we would like for you to enjoy it as long as possible. Therefore we’ve compiled a list of best practices that you should at least be aware of as you introduce your drone to the wild.
- Keep it safe—don’t leave your drone lying around when you’re not at home. It’s an expensive toy, and many people would love to take it off your hands without asking.
- Clean it—chances are you’re probably going to have one or two crash landings in your drone’s lifetime. Make sure to clean off any water or dirt that may have stuck to it.
- Extra batteries—your drone may have room on its body for an extra battery. Most extra batteries don’t come free. If you want to extend the flight time of your drone, an extra battery will usually double it.
- Check forums and reviews—you’re not the only one to hold your type of drone. If you ever need an answer, check various drone forums or consult the manual relentlessly before trying to get a hold of the manufacturer.
- Try all the features—the drone’s features and capabilities aren’t just for show. Some of them, like the “recall” function, will save the drone if you lose sight of it or don’t know what direction you’re heading.
Be safe and aware!
Drone safety is critical, especially to the government. You’ll most likely have to register as a pilot to fly some of the bigger drones or fly them near residential areas. Please read up on your drone’s manufacturer with drone regulations before taking flight.
In any case, the drones we’ve prepared for you have proven their worth to photographers, videographers, and filmmakers alike.
Choosing a Drone
With all the different brands and their constantly increasing number of drone lines, it can even more difficult to find the right drone for yourself even if you’ve identified a particular brand. The first thing you should understand about drones is that the more advanced you go, the more training and specialization needs to be done.
- Beginners will have an easier time choosing drones. The smaller ones will be easier to fly and have less flight time, which will keep them in range of you.
Let’s face it, if you’re buying drones that are starting to go into the hundreds of dollars, you’re probably looking to maximize the capabilities of its camera and video. If photography is your game, then you’ll immediately discount the beginner’s drones and go straight for the DJI or Yuneec based drones.
Just because you are a professional artist doesn’t mean you should treat the drone any differently than any other optic. They should be well maintained and kept out of harm’s way or the hands of small children when they’re not flying. The more you take responsibility for it and keep it out of dangerous conditions, the longer it will last you. | aerospace |

(WJLA) — A small, private plane made an emergency landing along Interstate 66 in Virginia on Saturday morning.
Virginia State Police said they responded to the westbound side of the highway at the six-mile marker in Warren County around 10:43 a.m. EDT.
A preliminary investigation revealed the aircraft suffered engine failure.
The pilot -- and only occupant -- was uninjured.
The landing was a sight to see for drivers along the highway, creating a traffic backup.
Virginia's Department of Transportation also responded to the scene.
Spokesman Ken Slack said the Cessna plane came to a stop on the right shoulder. Traffic was moved to the left lane to pass the aircraft.
The plane was later moved to the center crossover.
Slack said there may be an attempt to see if the plane can be prepared to take off again.
Traffic seems to be moving again, except for a slow down as drivers pass the plane. | aerospace |

This exclusive series is limited to just seven cars, each inspired by one of the seven Breitling Jets.
Back in 2002 when Bentley launched the Continental GT, then the most powerful Bentley ever built, Breitling gave the revolutionary new luxury car an extra personal touch, by participating in the design of the technical instruments and, importantly, creating the onboard clock. It was the first time that Bentley had entrusted this task to anyone other than its own craftsmen.
Today, the two brands up the notch in their relationship.
Renowned for their precision, speed and daring, this summer the Breitling Jet Team will be performing across the United States and Canada in a grand tour of epic proportions.
To mark this occasion, the Continental GT Speed has been re-imagined to mirror the distinctive look of the Breitling Jets, in a showcase of customisation to the highest degree.
The exterior is painted in a striking duo-tone split of Hallmark and Onyx with highlights colour matched to the exact Pantone of Breitling’s unique Yellow, reflecting the trademark look of the L-39 Albatros Jets.
This bespoke colour theme is continued on the interior, with unique sculpted seats featuring accents in Breitling Yellow.
Taking customisation to new heights, each Bentley is individually numbered and corresponds to one of the seven Breitling Jets. The dashboard’s carbon fibre fascia panel displays an image of the seven planes in their signature Avenger flight formation, with the corresponding jet highlighted in Breitling Yellow.
Similarly, Bentley’s Mulliner team have matched the hide and thread to Breitling’s signature yellow and designed a series of logos and graphics for the headrests that highlight the number of each car and the jet that inspired it.
The tread plate plaques are also individually numbered.
The series will debut at the Boeing Seafair Airshow on 31 July in Seattle, where the Breitling Jet Team is performing.
And finally the key for each Bentley will be handed over to its owner by the corresponding plane’s pilot, but not until they have experienced a flight in the jet that inspired their car! | aerospace |

The notification seeks to amend Notification No. 12/2017- Central Tax (Rate) the 28th June, 2017 which pertains to Exemptions on supply of services under CGST Act.
In the notification serial number 19C is added in order to exempt Satellite launch services supplied by Indian Space Research Organisation, Antrix Corporation Limited or New Space India Limited.
Before this announcement 18% GST was applicable on the Satellite launch services. This levy of GST on Indian firms had been forcing Indian satellite-builders to launch their satellites from foreign soil using foreign rockets.
The GST exemption will help protect the native satellite industry utilise homegrown launch capabilities without the upfront GST burden and give it a level-playing field.
The Government with the objective to encourage domestic launching of Satellites by ISRO and Antrix Corporation (ISRO’s commercial arm), GST Council has decided that 18% GST will completely be scrapped.
The startups that are manufacturing satellites will be exempted from GST now when they choose Indian launch vehicle.Subscribe Taxscan AdFree to view the Judgment | aerospace |

While Ukraine didn't comment on the cause of the crash, President Volodymyr Zelensky accused Russia of "messing with the lives of Ukrainian captives, the feelings of their relatives, and the emotions of our society."
In a post on Telegram, Russia announced the plane crash and said its forces had detected the launch of two missiles toward it from the Kharkiv region of Ukraine.
"There were six crew members, 65 Ukrainian POWs on board the aircraft, which transported them for prisoner exchange, and three Russian servicemen, who accompanied the POWs," according to the announcement. "As a result, the crew and all passengers were killed."
In his address to the nation, however, Zelenksy said "all clear facts must be established. To the extent possible, given that the aircraft crashed on Russian territory – beyond our control. 'Facts' is the key word now." | aerospace |

A new production company is set to change that. Space Entertainment Enterprise (SEE), the company behind the upcoming Tom Cruise starring space motion picture, has announced plans to create a film and tv studio, a streaming content studio and sports arena in space. The film, tv, and sports business, which is called SEE-1, is expected to launch sometime in late 2024.
Per The Hollywood Reporter, SEE-1 will be put inside the Axiom station. The latter is a commercial space station being developed by Axiom Space. It would connect to the International Space Station before going off in its own orbit around the earth.
Ideas for the entertainment center include hosting movie, TV, music, and sports events, the ability for creators to develop content in the low gravity environment, and the capacity to produce, record, broadcast, and live-stream new projects. Additionally, SEE-1 will create its own movies, TV shows, and events, while also allowing third parties to make their own content.
Elena and Dmitry Lesnevsky co-founded SEE. They are also producing the previously mentioned Tom Cruise flick that will be filmed in space. The project is the first film to be developed in space. Partners for the Lesnevskys include former HBO, Endemol, and Viacom executives, along with NYC-based bank GH Partners. SEE is talking with investors about the entertainment complex, with an expected fundraising round to arrive in the near future.
The Lesnevskys released a statement that read, “SEE-1 is an incredible opportunity for humanity to move into a different realm and start an exciting new chapter in space. It will provide a unique, and accessible home for boundless entertainment possibilities in a venue packed with innovative infrastructure which will unleash a new world of creativity. With worldwide leader Axiom Space building this cutting-edge, revolutionary facility, SEE-1 will provide not only the first, but also the supreme quality space structure enabling the expansion of the two trillion-dollar global entertainment industry into low-Earth orbit.”
SEE-1 is anticipated to be ready for use in December 2024. The date will be in an early stage of Axiom’s on-orbit assembly. Once the station’s initial configuration is done and is ready to separate from the ISS in 2028, the entertainment area will comprise about one-fifth of its volume.
SEE Sees Space Movies As the Future of Filmmaking
Richard Johnston, the COO of SEE, made a reference to the sci-fi genre when he explained, “From Jules Verne to Star Trek, science fiction entertainment has inspired millions of people around the world to dream about what the future might bring. Creating a next-generation entertainment venue in space opens countless doors to create incredible new content and make these dreams a reality.”
With companies like Space-X and now, SEE, the future for many will be to go into space. There is a possibility for people to watch sporting events outside the earth’s atmosphere. Multiple projects can be created in space. Green screens will no longer be mandatory for actors to be viewed in the vastness of outer space. SEE is developing a host of new ideas that could change the entertainment industry.
Superhero cinema has a lot to offer, thanks to the development of meticulously interconnected universes.

Into the past, the airline had been required to work all the time and evening, the alteration ended up being made. In the coming thirty days, a small grouping of Pakistani aviation personnel will likely be traveling to Brussels to see the European Union Aviation protection Agency concerning the measures taken fully to bring PIA in trip operations. Director General regarding the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) is announcing that, after the online audit that was carried out during October conducted by the Global Aviation protection Assessment (IASA) the physical review may also be carried out at the way of EASA.
1. What demands are added for pilots on flight planes?
europe Aviation protection Agency (EASA) has stated it's giving specialists from Pakistan to examine the measures that were consumed purchase to lift the ban against Pakistan Global Airlines (PIA). What's needed for pilots working for airlines are : -A the least 10 hours ‘ rest during any 24-hour period . At the least 72 hours of relaxation in virtually any 7-day time frame – A minimum of 168 hours sleep in any 28 day duration EASA has stated that the newest laws are compatible with worldwide requirements. These are typically employed in close collaboration with PIA to make certain that the airline is compliant to these demands.
2. What’s the reason behind a team of Pakistani aviation personnel who journey to Brussels to Brussels?
a worldwide group from Pakistan is visiting Brussels to meet officials of the European Aviation protection Agency. The goal of this conference is to discuss the measures that Pakistan is using to eliminate the ban which was imposed upon Pakistan Global Airlines (PIA).Pakistan has implemented a few measures so that you can increase its safety standards, as well as the Pakistani officials think that they can persuade EASA to get rid of the ban against PIA. It would be an important success for Pakistan considering that the EASA, one of the most well-known safety authorities into the aviation industry in the world, might enable this to occur.
A Short Synopsis
Airports are experiencing increased demand for airline travel, which in turn results in new costs. Airports are also in a position to charge motorists to disappear people. This can produce congestion. Airports could charge different rates however the typical price for dropping down an individual is around $5-10 for fifteen minutes. | aerospace |

I read the Mars series by Kim Robinson. One of the themes is how eco-terrorists rise up against the terraforming of Mars. "we must get rid of the nasty green stuff sprouting up everywhere!"
I was going to mention the Mars trilogy, but you beat me to it. Recommended reading for anyone interested in space colonization, terraforming, or alternative socioeconomic paradigms.
Terraforming Venus might be doable, but we wouldn't be able to actually go there until very late in the process. In contrast, we can go to Mars now and build underground colonies or cover the canyons while we work on "polluting" the atmosphere to make it warmer and thicker. | aerospace |

To cope with this known issue, autonomous and guaranteed onboard orbit control are deemed necessary. ESA is developing a technology to allow completely autonomous onboard control of a LEO satellite in order to ensure that the satellite remains within a space corridor of 10-20 meters in radius with respect to a predefined orbit. This thesis, which shall be held in collaboration with ESA, aims to study in detail this concept and implement a hardware-in-the-loop simulator in the ESTEC Radio Navigation Laboratory, connecting real space hardware (GNSS spaceborne receiver engineering model) with Radio Frequency Constellation Simulator and on-board satellite AOCS.
During the thesis, the candidate is expected to spend a period of two to three months in ESA/ESTEC (Noordwijk, the Netherlands) for arranging and testing the solution in the laboratory.

This event, entitled ‘In the Best Company’, was attended by notable local and international figures from the institutional, community, and economic spheres.
The ceremony featured the participation of Spain’s Secretary General for Industry and Small and Medium Enterprises, Begoña Cristeto; the President of SENER, Jorge Sendagorta; the Vice-President of SENER, Andrés Sendagorta; the Director of Science at the European Space Agency (ESA) and Director of the European Centre of Space Astronomy at the ESA, Álvaro Giménez; and the company’s Director of Space and Defense, Diego Rodríguez.
During his opening address, Jorge Sendagorta took a journey back to the origins of the group, remembering SENER’s early days in Space and praising the work of the people who made it all possible: “There are only two Spanish companies that can say they have 50 Years in Space. It has been, and continues to be, an adventure in slow motion, because development in this sector almost always takes a long time, but at the same time there are few adventures for Humanity that are as fascinating”.
The Director of Space at SENER, Diego Rodríguez, presented a review of the company’s primary missions during its half-century of activity in the sector: “The company's first project was the launch tower for scientific rockets in Kiruna, but during these last 50 years we have worked on top-level missions such as Rosetta, MARES, Gaia, IXV, Solar Orbiter, MTG, Proba-3 and Vega”.
As part of his speech, Álvaro Giménez of the ESA emphasised that, “The European Space Agency has achieved unprecedented successes in the quest to understand our Universe. European industry, of which SENER is a magnificent example, has been one of the key elements necessary to allow these goals to be met”.
“We have talked about the past and the present, but we have to keep looking forward. SENER is firmly committed to playing an increasing role in the new challenges being planned in Space, and in a future that is already upon us”, said Andrés Sendagorta in his address to those attending.
For her part, Spain’s Secretary General of Industry and SMEs, Begoña Cristeto, was responsible for closing the ‘In the Best Company’ event and referred to the company by saying "In closing, I would like to one again congratulate SENER for these 50 years in space. Which we are sure have also been very valuable on corporate projects involving energy, and with infrastructures and transport. Your values are certainly in total alignment with the philosophy of the space industry: excellence, commitment to research, and international collaboration".
This event commemorates a half-century of success in the space industry for SENER, and it also represents a tribute to the people who were a part of SENER in the past and those who are part of the space team today, during this half-century of stellar achievements.
The event was completed by projecting a video featuring first-person narrations from people who are now able to reminisce about their own professional and personal experiences during this 50-year history of SENER in Space. | aerospace |

NASA and Boeing have received the X-66A experimental aircraft designation for their joint sustainable flight project, which seeks to develop a new generation of cleaner and more efficient narrow-body airliners. The goal is to address the need for more sustainable aircraft that can be used by airlines around the world. In collaboration with NASA, Boeing will build, test and fly a large-scale demonstration aircraft, known as the "Transonic Truss-Braced Wing" concept, which represents extra-long, thin wings stabilised by diagonal struts.
The X-66A is the first X-aircraft specifically focused on helping the United States achieve its policy goal of zero aviation greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. The aircraft designation was requested by NASA and Boeing shortly after the agency announced the Sustainable Flight Demonstration project award earlier this year.
The X-plane designation is awarded by the US Air Force to development programmes that seek to create revolutionary experimental aircraft configurations. These aircraft are primarily used to test designs and technologies that can then be applied to other aircraft models, rather than serving as prototypes for full production.
Todd Citron, Boeing's chief technology officer, expressed pride in the X-66A designation, as it represents an opportunity to validate innovative designs that have transformed aviation. Through the learnings gained in the design, construction and flight testing of this aircraft, it is expected to shape the future of flight and contribute to the decarbonisation of the aerospace industry.
The X-66A has received Air Force designation due to its validation of technologies for a Transonic armour-stiffened wing configuration. Combined with advances in propulsion systems, materials and systems architecture, this configuration is expected to achieve up to a 30% reduction in fuel burn and emissions compared to currently available aircraft in its class.
Given that narrow-body aircraft account for nearly half of global aviation emissions due to their widespread use, the development of more sustainable designs and technologies for this type of aircraft has the potential to have a significant impact on the emissions generated by the industry.

Forty-five years have passed since humans last set foot on an extraterrestrial body. Now, the moon is back at the center of efforts not only to explore space, but to create a permanent, independent space-faring society.
Planning expeditions to Earth’s nearest celestial neighbor is no longer just a NASA effort, though the U.S. space agency has plans for a moon-orbiting space station that would serve as a staging ground for Mars missions in the early 2030s. The United Launch Alliance, a joint venture between Lockheed Martin and Boeing, is planning a lunar fueling station for spacecraft, capable of supporting 1,000 people living in space within 30 years.
Right now all space missions are based on, and launched from, Earth. But Earth’s gravitational pull is strong. To escape Earth’s gravity, a rocket has to be traveling 11 kilometers a second – 25,000 miles per hour!
Any rocket leaving Earth has to carry all the fuel it will ever use to get to its destination and, if needed, back again. That fuel is heavy – and getting it moving at such high speeds takes a lot of energy. If we could refuel in orbit, that launch energy could lift more people or cargo or scientific equipment into orbit. Then the spacecraft could refuel in space, where Earth’s gravity is less powerful.
Those locations would be tricky to mine because they are colder and offer no sunlight to power roving vehicles. However, we could install big mirrors on the craters’ rims to illuminate solar panels in the permanently shadowed regions.
Rovers from Google’s Lunar X Prize competition and NASA’s Lunar Resource Prospector, set to launch in 2020, would also contribute to finding good locations to mine ice.
Imagining a moon base
Depending on where the best ice reserves are, we might need to build several small robotic moon bases. Each one would mine ice, manufacture liquid propellant and transfer it to passing spacecraft. Our team developed plans to accomplish those tasks with three different types of rovers. Our plans also require a few small robotic shuttles to meet up with nearby deep-space mission vehicles in lunar orbit.
One rover, which we call the Prospector, would explore the moon and find ice-bearing locations. A second rover, the Constructor, would follow along behind, building a launch pad and packing down roadways to ease movements for the third rover type, the Miners, which actually collect the ice and deliver it to nearby storage tanks and an electrolysis processing plant that splits water into hydrogen and oxygen.
The Constructor would also build a landing pad where the small near-moon transport spacecraft we call Lunar Resupply Shuttles would arrive to collect fuel for delivery as newly launched spacecraft pass by the moon. The shuttles would burn moon-made fuel and would have advanced guidance and navigation systems to travel between lunar bases and their target spacecraft.
A gas station in space
When enough fuel is being produced, and the shuttle delivery system is tested and reliable, our plan calls for building a gas station in space. The shuttles would deliver ice directly to the orbiting fuel depot, where it would be processed into fuel and where rockets heading to Mars or elsewhere could dock to top up.
The depot would have large solar arrays powering an electrolysis module for melting the ice and then turning the water into fuel, and large fuel tanks to store what’s made. NASA is already working on most of the technology needed for a depot like this, including docking and fuel transfer. We anticipate a working depot could be ready in the early 2030s, just in time for the first human missions to Mars.
To be most useful and efficient, the depot should be located in a stable orbit relatively near both the Earth and the moon. The Earth-moon Lagrangian Point 1 (L1) is a point in space about 85 percent of the way from Earth to the moon, where the force of Earth’s gravity would exactly equal the force of the moon’s gravity pulling in the other direction. It’s the perfect pit stop for a spacecraft on its way to Mars or the outer planets.
Our team also found a fuel-efficient way to get spacecraft from Earth orbit to the depot at L1, requiring even less launch fuel and freeing up more lift energy for cargo items. First, the spacecraft would launch from Earth into Low Earth Orbit with an empty propellant tank.
Building a gas station between Earth and the moon would also reduce costs for missions beyond Mars. NASA is looking for extraterrestrial life on the moons of Saturn and Jupiter. Future spacecraft could carry much more cargo if they could refuel in space – who knows what scientific discoveries sending large exploration vehicles to these moons could enable?
By helping us escape both Earth’s gravity and dependence on its resources, a lunar gas station could be the first small step toward the giant leap into making humanity an interplanetary civilization.
Editor’s Note: This story was updated to clarify the distinction between escape velocity and the velocity needed to achieve orbit.
Art has played a huge role in how we think about space. Space heroes of the past dabbled as artists and created fantastic visions that we have spent the past few decades making into reality. These images from the 1970s may look familiar if you’ve seen Elysium.
Sometimes in outreach, engineers can feel like there’s a barrier to entry. They might be nervous about what kids might ask or whether they’ll look silly. So, for your information and enjoyment, here are some of my favorite questions I’ve ever been asked and answers that I may or may not have pieced together, but in retrospect would have been the best.
I’ve given a few tours for my group at NASA, and kids have asked some great questions. (Shout out to the students in Ecuador for what was definitely the best collection of questions I’ve ever heard!)
Ernst Stuhlinger once infamously answered this query by a nun. His eloquent response boiled down to this: research is necessary to improve the lives of people in the future, and we cannot only look at the suffering of the present.
Various studies have shown the correlation between research funding and a country’s GDP growth a decade later. It boils down to an idea that makes intuitive sense: R&D is necessary to develop the technologies new companies are based on. Although these ideas are not without controversy, declining R&D budgets (of all types, not just space) are cause for concern.
For all people who love space, the best response to this question is to share benefits humanity has gotten from space research. For ideas, see my previous post about Dr. Robinson’s ISS top ten or NASA spin offs.
There has been much said about the need for more students to go into STEM fields and the difficulty of exciting the public about space.
I’ve had opportunities to talk with kids about what got me excited about space and with space professionals and educators at conferences about how engineers can participate in inspiring the next generation. A common idea is we don’t want to reinvent the wheel.
In order for engineers to effectively support educators in showing what is so cool about space (because who better than the people who love space!), it helps to have a starting idea to build upon and tailor to the audience. To that end, here is a collection of links to ideas and supporting material for existing ideas. | aerospace |

Young men needed to be made of the right stuff and were required to land their planes on the decks of aircraft carriers, far out at sea. Carrier landings were dangerous. Hazards included pilot fatigue, bad weather, and poor visibility.
Airplanes of that era did not have modern technology to assist landings. Naval pilots skillfully landed their planes using only stick and rudder and their wits. They relied on visual perception and the signals of the flight signals officers to guide their planes safely onto the carrier’s pitching, oily deck.
The Flight Zone Game includes…
Object of the Game
Preparing to Play
What You Will Need
The game requires two six sided dice. Dice can be purchased for very little money from toy stores or newsagents or borrowed from other board games.
The Flight Zone game has two game boards. The trainee pilots must first navigate their way around game board one and learn the basics of flight such as instrumentation, take-off and landing and flight dynamics. Game board two features the long slim profile of a World War Two era aircraft carrier, which players must land on safely to complete the game.

(I recommend printing as A3 size)
Pilot View Cards
Each player has a pilot view card, which provides a visual reference of what the pilot sees from the aircraft as he approaches the aircraft carrier.
Aviator cards allow player to make decisions during the course of the game. Players are free to choose when they use their two aviator cards. Each card gives a bonus of some kind. The players must decide whether to use the cards early in the game or keep them until the exciting and risky final stages, when they attempt the carrier landing.
The aviator cards represent a pilot’s courage or skill, and the role of initiative and daring in correcting mistakes. This quality is known as the right stuff. Please note, aviator cards can only be used from Maiden flight Zone onward.
I've used the Flight Zone board game as an oral language activity many times over the years. The game has elements that relate to story and story sequence. Also a number of vocabulary words can be slotted into the game without too much effort. There is also a really useful sentence building activity which can be used to explore simple and complex sentence use. It does require a lot of cutting out and assembling sentence fragment tiles, but is worth the effort, in my opinion.

In January, the DOT’s Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) announced new rules regarding the fastest-growing segment of the transportation sector: drones.
The new rules will require Remote identification for drones as well as permit drone flight above people and at night under certain conditions.
These new rules will finally begin to open the doors to facility operators to employ unmanned aerial vehicles on America’s ROW to help improve public safety and damage prevention efforts by facility operators.
“…by permitting the routine operation of small UAS at night 1 or over people under certain conditions.2 This rule is the next step in the FAA’s incremental approach to integrating UAS into the national airspace system (NAS), based on demands for increased operational flexibility and the experience the FAA has gained since it initially published part 107. This rule also builds on the performance-based regulatory philosophy established previously.” – from the Executive Summary.
Emerging Technologies on the ROW and for Outside Plant
There are many opportunities for facility operators to employ new technologies to help prevent facility damages and improve public safety. At times regulations hinder the implementation of these opportunities, but leaders in the industry find a way to continue to push the envelope and find ways to keep moving things forward.
My good friend Aaron Rezendez who works at the Innovation Center for Pacific Gas and Electric (PG&E), has a number of projects that are going to impact the industry tomorrow and into the future. PG&E is exploring the use of LiDAR and damage avoidance in ways I think All facility operators could learn from.
David Yoel is Founder & CEO of American Aerospace Technologies, Inc (AATI). David works on automated airborne threat detection and near real-time reporting system for routine pipeline patrol. His use of medium altitude long endurance unmanned aircraft systems could change the way we view patrol pipelines and observe overhead cables. | aerospace |

There was a fear factor involved in firing the Exocet missile at a ship. In order to get a solid missile lock on the target, you released the missile about 30 miles away from the target using locking radar on the attacking aircraft itself. You had to wait, guiding the missile, as you remained in the area marking time (the military calls it loitering) until the sea skimming missile got within about five kilometers, which is darn close, to the intended maritime target. Then the missile’s own short-range radar got a final lock and sent a signal back to the aircraft that no further assistance was required. What the Iraqi pilots were doing, with Iranian aircraft frequently scrambling against them, would be to leave the area before the aircraft had fully guided the missile to the point at which the missile itself locked onto the target. In this situation, the missile would go wandering around a portion of the Gulf looking for a target, which often wasn’t the intended target.
… Iran’s first nuclear plant was practically right on the Gulf at Bushehr,not too far from Kharg Island. The Bushehr reactor had a high dome profile. The dome was being constructed before the machinery was being installed. One of the sea skimming missiles hit the nuclear reactor dome. Why? Missiles went for a high radar profile, which is why all the tankers were hit in the rear. A tanker is a long flat vesselwith a big superstructure in the rear, so the sea skimmer would go toward the rear. It was mainly designed to destroy warships, because of their smoke stacks, bridge, radars, etc., created the highest profile in the center of the vessel. But the tanker was not an ideal target for this missile. It always hit the rear. | aerospace |

Footage published by the YouTube channel of Jaish al-Islam shows the Mi-17 getting hit by a 9M33 missile fired from Jaish al-Islam's 9K33 Osa. At 0:47, the 9M33's sixteen kilogram explodes just above the tailboom and rotors. Which in turn, explains the loss of these two components.
Another 9K33 Osa launch was uploaded on the 18th of January 2014.
Opposed to the other launches, this one likely missed. The 9M33 missile self-destructs 25-28 seconds after launch. Either this one hit a target at the edge of their range or it went out of control and self-destructed.

Two people were in the 1981 Mooney M20K single-engine aircraft when it crashed along Highway 1 near the Springbank Airport just after 3:30 p.m.
The collision killed the pilot and seriously injured a 22-year-old female passenger, Megan Gallagher, who was taken to hospital with serious, life-threatening injuries.
Though RCMP didn’t release the names of either people involved, friends have since confirmed to CTV News the deceased is Michael James Wilton.
Wilton was the president of FlightSimple, an aircraft sales company.
The company’s website has since posted a message saying he will be truly missed by everyone that had the opportunity to meet him.
“He was larger than life, a hero to his twin boys,” the post said. “He was well-loved for his courage, generosity and sense of humour.
“Mike was one of a kind and irreplaceable.”
A memorial service is being planned for a later date.

Late Tuesday evening, CTV News confirmed that the passenger was 22-year-old Gallagher, a certified flight instructor who suffered critical injuries in the crash. Her father told CTV News that she had spinal surgery and will undergo facial reconstruction surgery later this week.
According to the father, Wilton was giving Gallagher a flight lesson. He said the plane belonged to one of Gallagher’s flight students, and the plan was to fly it back to Fort St. John the next day.
Instead, Wilton and Gallagher took off from Spring Bank airport and were in the air for around an hour before quickly losing altitude and crashing.
A GoFundMe page for Gallagher has already raised over $16,000 to help pay for bills and future recovery-related expenses.

A twin-engine rented airplane en route to Norfolk ran out of gas Friday just across the Delaware State Line and made an unexpected emergency landing one half mile north of the Maryland State Police barracks on Route 13.
The pilot, who attempted to land in the south-bound lane of the dual highway, had to veer across the median strip to avoid a south bound automobile. The plane’s landing gear was damaged by the forced landing.
Maryland State police said the plane was piloted by Joseph B. Coray, 48, of Somerset Mass., and had been leased from the Apex Leasing Company of Somerset. The pilot was en route from Falls River, Mass., to Norfolk when he was forced to make his emergency landing. Only one automobile was in the vicinity of the landing when it occurred, according to state police.
A tow truck assisted by a group of men guiding the aircraft, pulled the plane north to the State Line Airport. State police directed traffic during the hour long operation.
The landing is currently being investigated by the Federal Aviation agency. No charges have been filed against the pilot by the Maryland State police. | aerospace |

BENTLEY MARINE Surface Effect Aircraft
SEA - The most efficient & versatile multi-purpose amphibian aircraft in the World!
Introducing: BENTLEY Marine PM4 & PM30 SEA
After shaking the world with revolutionary Superyachts that can glide over the ocean at record breaking speeds of up to 250 knots, BENTLEY YACHTS once more brings the ultimate military aerospace technology into an exciting new craft that combine the benefits of a conventional aircraft and the many advantages of Wing-in-Ground-Effect Ships or Ekranoplans The SEA - Surface Effect Aircraft.
The fantastic SEA promises to be the Ultimate Toy for top executives that need a Private Business Jet to serve their intense business agenda and would like to be able to escape with their families to secluded destinations where conventional aircraft cannot operate, such as a private island without an air strip, a lake front residence, or even a ski cabin in the middle of the winter, if there is a flat long snow or ice path nearby.
Today, even the most expensive Business Jets are restricted to take-off and land in executive or regular air strips, which most of the time are still miles away from the point of departure or the destination, thus forcing busy corporate executives to commute in traffic before reaching their aircraft or the final destination. The matter gets worse when there is water, snow or ice on the way. There are no amphibian Business Jets on the market nor Jets that can carry more weight and have extended range than other comparable sized aircraft and that can double as a private yacht on the weekend.
Now, imagine if you could have an aircraft that could operate not only from airports, but as well as from water or even ice and could have extended range and extra weight capability when operating in wing-in-ground-effect. The result is the exclusive BENTLEY MARINE SEA.
Ekranoplans, such as the giant 192ft BENTLEY YACHTS Gemini, due to the wing-in-ground-effect phenomena, are able to carry twice the weight of a conventional aircraft with much better efficiency and yet operate in amphibious mode, making them very unique in their capabilities to operate faster than any other motoryacht and to serve destinations impossible to conventional yachts, such as shallow water and frozen ice. Nevertheless, they are too large to operate as a private business craft and cannot fly into airports as they are designed to operate only very close to the surface.
The BENTLEY MARINE SEAs are custom built in two versions, one with take-off weight of up to 4 tons called the PM-4 and another with take-off weight of 30 tons, the PM-30. With a Superyacht like décor, they offer more comfort than any comparable sized business jet, cost less to built and a fraction to operate, because they burn much less fuel than conventional aircraft when flying in wing-in-ground-effect.
The extraordinary PM-4 flies at speeds of 240km/h near the screen effect and has maximum speed of 310km/h over the screen with a range of up to 4,350 km which translates in a flight endurance from 11 hours to up to 18 hours in economy mode.
The larger PM-30 can carry up to 54 passengers in the standard commercial configuration or as few as 15 to 20 with the ultra spacious Superyacht interior and fly at a maximum speed of 450km/h with a range of 5,000 km in economy mode.
The crafts are built to military quality standards at selected aerospace facilities in Europe and the USA using special high strength marine aluminum alloys and composites and equipped with a blend of the most advanced avionics and latest marine navigation equipment.
Now busy corporate executives can finally bring their bathing suits and snow skis to their next business trip, as they can go from the office straight into their favorite beach, lake, island or, ski cabin. BENTLEY MARINE SEAs are a dream come true!

After almost six decades of air racing in Northern Nevada, the National Championship Air Races (NCAR) will hold its final flag in Reno this week. Every year, talented pilots and aviation enthusiasts come from all over the country to participate and experience head-to-head races.
This year our team at Design on Edge had the opportunity to honor the Final Flag at Reno by designing t-shirts for Aviation Classics LTD.. Their business is located on site of the NCAR, at the Reno-Stead Airfield. They offer a wide range of services to the aviation community including Repair and maintenance, Avionics Sales and Service, Aircraft Recovery/Storage, and Warbird Restoration, as well as being the exclusive provider of Phillips66 aviation products at the airport.
They are not only an essential part of the aviation community but also take part in various racing categories at NCAR. The participating aircraft and pilots are as follows:
- Stohl Drag Race, with Sarge #56, pilot Toby Ashley
- Formula One, with Limitless #34, pilot Justin Meders
- Sports Class, with Breathless #90, pilot Conrad Huffstutler
- T-6, with Miss Ellaneous #49, pilot Bill Muszala
- Jet Class, with American Spirit #5, pilot Ed Noel
For their family shirt requests, Designers Chris Meredith and Jackal Reyes created two custom illustrations to honor their participation at the Final Flag. The first design is a tribute to each aircraft representing Aviation Classics in the races. Each intricate plane design was illustrated using mesh gradients in Illustrator.
Their second shirt design is an ode to vintage aircraft pin-ups. We used the image of Miss Reno to create a dynamic illustration of the NCAR event. Featured in this illustration are American Spirit, and Limitless. This artwork was custom illustrated in Procreate, then vectorized in Illustrator to fit our 6-color screenprint artwork specifications.
If you’re a local and have never been to the air races, we encourage you to get tickets to experience NCAR’s final year in Reno. Let us know if you spot any of the aircraft we had the honor to create artwork for! | aerospace |

Bearing serial numbers 72-0116 through 72-0118 and 72-0120, the fighters had been updated to full F-15A standard but still retained the smaller speed brakes.
The first group of Israeli crews received their training from the 58th Tactical Training Wing at Luke AFB, Arizona, and became the nucleus of the first eagle unit to be operated by the Israeli Defense Force/Air Force(IDF/AF) or Heyl Ha'avir. This was No. 133 Squadron a Tel Nof AB. The Baz (Eagle), as it is called in Israeli service, did not become operational with the unit until 1978, by which time a production order of 10 Block 17 jets and two Block 16 F-15B had been delivered. The single-seat models were assigned IDF/AF 600 series serials, whereas both twin-seater were given IDF/AF 700-series number.Pressed into operational service immediately, the squadron flew combat air patrol (CAP) during March 1978, as cover for Israeli Forces engaged in Operation Litani in southern Lebanon. Although not called upon to engage enemy aircraft at that time, the Baz scored its first air-to-air victory little over a year later during an attack on Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) targets in the region. In that operation, a flight intercepted and shot down four Syrian Mig-21 on 27 June 1979. By the end o the following year, the squadron had scored another seven "kills". Success against a more advanced Syrian fighter came on 13 February 1981, when a MiG-25 "Foxbat" was shot down by the commanding officer of No. 133 Squadron, using a radar-guided AIM-7F Sparrow. A second MiG-25 was destroyed on 29 July of that same year.
The now famous raid on Iraq's Osirak nuclear acility on 7 June 1981, saw the squadron's F-15As fly top cover for attacking F-16A Fighting Falcons. Baz fighters got airborne from Etzion AB in the southern part of the country at 15:55 hours but did not penetrate Iraqui air space. Instead, they stayed in hte ai ready to intercede if the F-16s were challenged by enemy interceptors. Others remained on alert after the raid in case Iraq attempted a retaliatory strike.
As a result of these air battles, many Eagles now carry 2, 3,or even 4 miniature Syrian roundels as kill markings under the cockpit.
In 1988 the F-15s were subjected to the USAF Multi-stage Improvement Program ( MSIP ). This involved replacing the APG-63 radar with APG-70, fitting improved digital central computers and CRT cockpit display and the installation of the 220 engines.
Squadron 133 was put on full alert following the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait on August 2,1990. Continuous Combat Air Patrols were flown by the time the UN deadline expired on January 15, 1991. However the Iraqi Air Force declined to fight and the Eagles could do nothing about the Scud missiles, so the continuous Caps were discontinued by February 12. The total Eagles in the squadron by this time amounted to 40.

You can obtain an aviation degree in many places, and it is also possible to complete some of the following degrees online. Potential employers usually take a look at the highest institution you selected to pursue your degree.
For example, a degree from an institution like the United States Air Force Academy will be more desirable. Below are some examples of aviation degrees that you can pursue to become a pilot.
There are a couple of great programs and degrees individuals can pursue if they want to become a pilot. We have listed some popular paths that individuals take to become a pilot below.
See What Majors Different Colleges Offer
Quickly search and compare different colleges and universities based on the different college majors they offer.
Aviation Degree (B.A.)
A bachelor of arts in aviation is one of the most common paths for students to take if they want to become a pilot. This degree will help prepare you for everything you will need to become a pilot.
Students can expect to take courses in electronics, engineering, and various flying courses. Some schools offer specialized aviation degree programs in which you will focus on something very specific. Examples could include maintenance or airport management.
Students should expect to complete their aviation degree in about 4 years – some students may take as long as 6 years to complete their program. Most programs should provide you with your pilot’s license after completion, and some programs will even provide you with a commercial pilot’s license.
Aviation Degree (B.S)
The bachelor of science in aviation is a great option for individuals who already have some air experience. This degree is a little more technical and will provide students with a complete commercial pilot’s license at the end of the degree.
Students will usually have more hands on work in this degree versus the bachelor of arts degree. Students can expect to spend a good amount of time doing flight training. If you are looking to learn more technical skills, a bachelor of science in aviation should be you choice when looking to become a pilot.
Aerospace engineering is a great major for anyone looking to build a solid base of knowledge and become a pilot. While this major will not certify you to become a pilot after graduation, it will prepare you as a top candidate for other flight training programs and employers.
Aerospace engineering was ranked as one of our hardest engineering majors. Students will learn a ton of valuable knowledge while completing this major. If you can complete this major, you will be in a good spot to become a pilot or do something in the flight industry.
You can find every school in the United States that offers aerospace engineering with our college finder tool.
Air Traffic Management (B.S.)
An air traffic management degree will not necessarily prepare you to become a pilot, but it will help you take steps in the right direction and can prepare you to become an air traffic controller. This degree should only take students four years to complete – a little shorter than some of the majors listed above.
Students in this major will learn basic aviation principals, how planes work, and meteorology principals. This is a nice major to have if you are planning on attending flight school down the road. Employers will also look favorably to applicants that have a background in flight.
Aviation Maintenance (B.S.)
Aviation maintenance is the perfect degree for students who know they want to get into something flight related, but are not sure what specifically they want to do. This major will allow students to learn basic flight principals, as well as how to take care of, and manage, aircrafts.
Students with a background in aviation maintenance will be able to apply to flight school and get into flight training programs as employers will appreciate the background in aviation maintenance. Students will also be able to get into flight management and operations with a background in this major.
Aviation Management (B.S.)
Aviation management is another aviation degree that may not necessarily help you become a pilot, but is a step in the right direction. This major, while it does teach some basic principals on flight, will mostly focus on the business side of aviation.
Students will learn how to manage, deal with, and run a successful flight operation. Students who major in aviation management usually go on to work for private charter flight companies. Do not get discourage though, you will still be able to apply to various flight programs and become a pilot with a background in this major.
Aeronautical Science (B.S.)
Students majoring in aeronautical science will learn how to build aircrafts. Not only will they learn about how to build aircrafts, they will also learn about what makes aircrafts fly, and about new technologies in the industry.
This major will show potential employers and flight schools that you have a technical background in flight and would be a great candidate for their programs. Anyone who complete an aeronautical science major will be able to show they have a technical background, which is always highly sought after. This is definitely one of the harder aviation degrees.
How to Become a Pilot
There are a ton of different ways to become a pilot. If you just want to learn to fly planes and it is a hobby, you can attend a flight school. If you want to become a pilot for a living, you will need your commercial pilot’s license.
There are a couple of different ways to earn your commercial pilot’s license but the degrees listed above are a great start. Not only will the degrees listed above help you become a pilot, they will also provide you with a great foundation of knowledge that you can take with you to the flight industry. They will provide you with great options.
We encourage students to use our college finder to search for any of the above programs and see which colleges and universities offer them.

You endure long queues at check-in and stand in line for hours at security, only to be squashed into a mid-row seat to fly at an unsociable time. Add the laptop and electronics ban into the equation, and travelling for business passengers can become a logistical nightmare. Thankfully, there is a solution.
Enter private jets. This may be an option you’ve never considered, because you believed flying on a private jet would be far beyond your price range but with a little know how, that is not always the case.
Here are a couple of tips to help you fly on a private jet for the same price – or sometimes even less – than a commercial ticket.
When searching for a vacation, leaving it until the last minute can have huge pay offs, allowing travellers to grab luxury breaks for a fraction of the original price. When looking for a private jet, it helps to use the same strategy. When booking ahead, a private flight can cost thousands, but buying just before you fly can reduce the price by up to 75%. This means that booking a last minute private flight is often cheaper than its commercial equivalent.
Flying on a private jet allows for more freedom and flexibility about departure and arrival points, as these smaller aircraft are able to access thousands of smaller airports across the globe. As such, this means that there are often return flights without any passengers – these are commonly referred to as empty leg flights. In this scenario, companies offer huge discounts to tempt flyers and avoid losses on staff wages and fuel costs.
Empty leg flights are a fantastic option if you’re flying as a group, whether for a vacation or as a business trip, as the total cost can then be split, resulting in huge savings for all. However, if you’re flying solo, then searching for an empty seat may be your best bet. By booking an empty seat flight at the last minute, you could save hundreds, beating the price of a same day commercial ticket.
Flying on a private jet comes with a whole host of benefits, including a better service, privacy, more departure times and no waiting – simply arrive, board and fly. And with these tips, now you can fly in style for just a fraction of the cost. | aerospace |

Unlike visible or infrared light, radar waves penetrate most weather clouds and are equally effective in darkness. So with InSAR it is possible to track ground deformation even in bad weather and at night-two big advantages during a volcanic crisis. Two radar images of the same area that were collected at different times from similar vantage points in space can be compared against each other. Any movement of the ground surface toward or away from the satellite can be measured and portrayed as a "picture" - not of the surface itself but of how much the surface moved (deformed) during the time between images. Imagery is provided by space agencies in Italy, Germany, Canada, Japan, Korea, Europe, and the U.S.
To create this radar deformation "picture" a pulse of radar energy is emitted from a satellite, scattered by the Earth's surface, and recorded back at the satellite with two types of information: amplitude and phase. The amplitude is the strength of the return signal, influenced by the physical properties of the surface. The round trip distance from the satellite to the ground and back again is measured in units of the radar wavelength, and changes in that distance between the time two radar images were collected show up as a phase difference. Combining these two images is called "interfering" because combining two waves causes them to either reinforce or cancel one another. InSAR greatly extends the ability of scientists to monitor volcanoes because, unlike other techniques that rely on measurements at a few points, InSAR produces a map of ground deformation that covers a very large spatial area with centimeter-scale accuracy. This technique is especially useful at remote, difficult-to access volcanoes and at locations where hazardous conditions prevent or limit ground-based volcano monitoring.
We use satellites to measure surface motions anywhere around the world. This technique is called InSAR. Our deformation data is fundamentally changing the way our customers look at their assets. We help people manage their maintenance for the long term and we help prevent environmental disasters. Radar satellites started recording surface movements in 1992. Since then the number of satellites and the resolution of the images have increased significantly. We can built a data archive that covers 70% of the earth’s land. We use that archive to provide insights in the historical movements of infrastructure. We aims to apply the InSAR technique to roads, railways, bridges, buildings, electric power, pipelines, dike and dam stability problems. We will change our focus and move away from being an InSAR service company towards being a data driven company, actively developing products that help asset managers apply our data to their deformation related problems.
For Site Selection Determine existing surface motion during site selection processes. Support the design and the optimisation of the ground instrumentation network. We provides unique support in reconstructing past ground motion patterns, which could potentially affect constructions. Using a historical archive of satellite imagery, We can identify unstable areas prior to construction and reconstruct their displacement to assist in the planning of new sites. Monitoring with satellite data minimises survey time and cost compared to traditional measurement techniques.
For Development By mapping the evolution of ground displacement during construction, engineers can better understand the relationship between activities and the onset of any related settlement. We offers thousands of measurement points over large areas, at a fraction of the cost of traditional monitoring. It also increases displacement information beyond excavation surroundings, to determine the extent of any deformation occurring within a wider area.
For Maintenance Assess the stability of assets over time to monitor that deformation remains within design parameters. Control impact on assets of deformation occurring in adjacent areas. Regular monitoring of post-construction displacement can identify structural weaknesses. Identifying motion that could indicate a structural weakness helps engineers to determine if actions should be taken. Moreover, InSAR Monitoring provides deformation maps to assess areas at risk.
An urban health database has been established that has accumulated radar satellite data for over 7 to 10 years (including a high precision database of over 400 cities in China).
We have successfully established and operated ground remote sensing satellite ground receiving stations, and have built and operated multiple remote sensing satellite ground receiving stations.
We use the PSP-InSAR algorithm (one of the world's top algorithms for radar satellite data processing).

They are now on their way to the International Space Station (ISS).
The tubes of bacteria and phages will be super cooled so they are inactive. They will then be taken out of the freezer so they can carry out their normal biological processes in space conditions. Photo by Robin Davies.
According to information, scientists in the University of Wisconsin-Madison (UW–Madison) Department of Biochemistry are hoping that by sending them into Earth’s orbit, we can learn more about how microbes respond to being in space. In preparing for a future in which long-term and commercial space travel are possible, researchers say it’s increasingly important to understand how the bacteria in and on humans – many essential for health – function in this environment, says Vatsan Raman, professor of biochemistry.
Using a protocol carefully crafted by the researchers, the astronauts on the ISS will perform a series of simple experiments to test the effects of space conditions on the microbes, such as microgravity and radiation, and on their interactions.
While bacteria and phage have been in space before because they reside on and in humans and other organisms, there haven’t been many sophisticated experiments on the effects that occur in space. The UW–Madison team’s experiments – supported by the U.S. Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA) – could be some of the most sophisticated biochemistry and microbiology work ever done in space.
“We are interested in the broad differences between how biology performs on Earth versus in space, and we chose to work with E. coli bacteria and the phages that infect them because they are the simplest thing to test,” Prof. Raman explains. “What’s surprising is there is not a lot of data from controlled experiments done in space that can also be replicated on Earth and allow us to do comparisons.”
The real work – which will utilize knowledge and techniques from the laboratories of Biochemistry Professor Michael Cox, a collaborator on this project, and biochemistry collaborator Michael Sussman – begins when the samples are returned to Earth. Researchers are eager to analyze different aspects of the microbes and compare the data to experiments done on Earth. Their experiments will allow them to compare how quickly or slowly the microbes grow and interact, while other tests will compare the metabolism, genetic material, and a variety of other cellular processes to see if they were affected.
By deep-sequencing the microbes’ DNA, which provides a high-resolution view of the genetic code, researchers can look for differences between those that experienced radiation and those that did not. The researchers will also use a technology called mass spectrometry, a method of finding molecular identities of proteins based on molecular weights. This will also allow them to look for modifications that possibly occurred.
While small changes in DNA or other cellular mechanics are the most likely, they wonder if the phage, in a rare example, will gain a new function. Perhaps it might be mutated in a way that allowed it to infect a wider range of E. coli than just the strain it accompanied in space. With the rise in antibiotic-resistant bacteria, researchers are turning to phage as a possible alternative to investigate.
No matter the findings, the researchers hope their experiments push the boundaries of the scientific work that is possible to execute in space. As NASA and other organizations conceive of more and more space travel, how microbes behave in this environment will become essential to understand because they play such an important role in human health. | aerospace |

The Wiscasset Airport, one of our neighbors to the north, was hosting the Texas Flying Legends, a collection of 13 classic World War II military planes, including a B-25J Mitchell, P-51D Mustang, FG-1D Corsair, and Spitfire Mk IX. The experience of seeing the planes up close and talking to the pilots who fly and maintain them today left campers and staff in awe.
Five Texas Flying Legends pilots led the special tour, which was the brainstorm of Will Perkins (Boys Camp ‘03-’06; Mariners; Boys Camp Staff ‘13,’15-’17), program director at the Boys Camp this summer. Rick Tetrev, a retired Navy commander and aviator who is the airport supervisor, worked with Texas Flying Legends Chief Pilot Warren Pietsch to make it happen.
“I was glad we were able to pull it all together,” said Tetrev. “It was definitely a treat. Some of the boys got to sit in the cockpit of a plane. [The pilots] didn’t even allow me to do that!”
For fourth-year camper Juju Khandalavala, age 10, seeing, touching, and getting inside the planes was a dream come true. He has been interested in World War II for years, he said, and “started studying World War II airplanes” some time ago. The unexpected visit to the airport is something he’ll always remember. He stood quietly searching for the right way to express his feelings. “To me, it was a gift,” he said.
Perkins described the tour as “incredible” and said the boys loved it and so did he. Counselor Shane Killen (BC ‘11-’14; Thoreau Wilderness Trip ‘15; Guide ‘16; BC Staff ‘17) said it was “Really cool. They had all the planes out and taxiing for us.” Both expressed their gratitude to Tetrev and the pilots for making the experience possible.
The guiding mission of the Texas Flying Legends, according to its website, is “honoring past generations and inspiring the leaders of tomorrow through active display of WWII warbirds.” The Legends were in Maine to fly at several private air shows and left Wiscasset for Texas on July 31. | aerospace |

The crash, which occurred on Sunday, August 27, resulted in the deaths of three US marines and left 20 others wounded.
The aircraft, part of the multinational Exercise Predators Run 2023, had 23 personnel onboard at the time of the crash.
Immediate statements from the US Marine Corps verified the fatalities and highlighted the ongoing recovery processes. Injured marines were rushed to Royal Darwin Hospital for medical attention.
The casualties include Capt. Eleanor V. Beau, 29; Cpl. Spencer R. Collart, 21; and Maj. Tobin J. Lewis, 37.
Australia’s Northern Territory chief minister, Natasha Fyles, conveyed profound distress regarding the incident. Additionally, Australia’s Prime Minister, Anthony Albanese, assured complete support and assistance. The incident exclusively involved US defense personnel, leaving Australian Defense Force members unaffected.
The Osprey, distinguished for its combination of helicopter and plane functionalities, is famed for its adaptability in different scenarios.
Notably, this crash comes shortly after another aviation incident involving an Australian Taipan helicopter in late July.
The ongoing Exercise Predators Run 2023, centered in Australia’s Top End, witnesses a collaborative effort involving 2,500 soldiers from multiple nations, including the US. | aerospace |

Food tastes different in the air
Fact: Food does taste different when you’re flying. Passengers are more dehydrated on a plane than they are when firmly on the ground. The atmosphere dries out your mouth and nose and affects your taste buds, often making food taste a lot blander when you’re on board.
The cheapest flights are on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Saturdays
Most passengers prefer not to fly on these days because they don’t often align with taking days off from work. For this reason, most airlines reduce their ticket prices to fill these empty seats. As you can probably guess, Friday is the most expensive day of the week to fly.
Most airlines don’t have an aisle or seat 13
Due to superstitious passengers who may already fear flying, some airlines don’t include an aisle number 13. This was first introduced by Reno Air (who were bought in 1999 by American Airlines), but now many other airlines like AirFrance, Lufthansa and Alaska Airlines have followed suite.
Water boils at 90 degrees on commercial flights
Water at land level boils at 100 degrees, but the reduced cabin pressure on planes interferes with the boiling process, making the water boil at around 90 degrees.
Planes fly over the Bermuda triangle every single day
It’s a common misconception that planes are banned from flying over the Bermuda Triangle for fear that they’ disappear. One of history’s biggest aviation myths, many airline routes fly over this area every day.
You can’t open the door of a plane while it’s in the air
Many nervous passengers have a fear that the plane doors could open at 35 000 feet. We’re pleased to assure you that this isn’t possible: Commercial flight doors only open inwards, making it impossible to open them during a flight due to the cabin and air pressure outside. | aerospace |

From entrepreneurs to executives, individuals constantly seek ways to maximize efficiency and make the most of every moment. This pursuit of efficiency has led many to explore the world of private jet charter, where luxury meets practicality to create more in air travel. In this blog, we’ll delve into time as a luxury and how private jet charters offer unparalleled efficiency for those who prioritize it.
Understanding Time as Luxury
In the realm of luxury, time often takes precedence over material possessions. Managing time effectively is a hallmark of success for business or leisure. However, traditional commercial air travel usually needs to catch up in this regard, with long security lines, flight delays, and many hours of layovers eating into valuable time.
Private jet charters redefine the equation by offering a seamless and efficient travel experience. With access to private terminals and expedited security procedures, travellers using private jet hire can bypass the hassles associated with commercial airports, saving significant time. This time saved translates into increased productivity, allowing individuals to focus on their priorities without the distractions of conventional travel.
The Efficiency of Private Jet Charters
Private jet charters offer a range of advantages in terms of efficiency compared to commercial air travel, primarily due to their flexibility, price, time-saving potential, and personalized service. Here are several aspects highlighting the efficiency of private jet charters:
Private jet charters often involve minimal wait times compared to commercial flights. Passengers can arrive just minutes before departure, the flight time and avoiding lengthy security lines, check-in procedures, and boarding queues. Additionally, private jets can access smaller airports closer to the traveller’s final destination, reducing ground transportation time and fuel used.
Private jet charters provide greater flexibility in scheduling, allowing passengers to have aircraft options and depart and arrive at times that best suit their needs and schedule. This flexibility is particularly beneficial for business travellers with demanding schedules or individuals with time-sensitive commitments.
Private jet charters allow passengers to choose to fly to their preferred departure and arrival locations, enabling them to reach destinations not served by commercial airlines or to cities where direct flights are unavailable. This capability is especially advantageous for reaching remote or underserved areas efficiently.
Private business jets also offer customers a conducive environment for productivity and relaxation during the flight. Passengers can conduct meetings, work on confidential projects, or rest without interruptions, maximizing their time in transit.
Privacy and Comfort
Private jet charters provide high privacy and personalized service, catering to passengers’ preferences and needs. This enhanced cabin comfort can contribute to a more pleasant and productive travel experience.
Private jet charters can accommodate small groups of passengers, offering cost-effective solutions suitable for corporate travel, family vacations, or special occasions. By travelling together mid size jets, passengers can enhance teamwork, communication, and bonding, thereby improving overall efficiency.
Reduced Travel Stress
Private jet charters minimize the stress of commercial air travel, such as long security lines, crowded airport terminals, and flight delays. This reduction in travel-related stress can improve overall well-being and productivity for passengers.
Private jet charter companies often offer end-to-end solutions, including ground transportation, catering, and concierge services. This seamless experience enhances the overall efficiency and speed of the travel process, allowing passengers to focus on their priorities without logistical distractions.
While private jet charters may come at a premium compared to commercial flights, the efficiency gains and personalized benefits they offer make them a compelling option for individuals and organizations seeking a higher level of convenience and flexibility in air travel.

Yes, private jet charter offers a high level of customization. Clients can choose everything from the type of aircraft and onboard amenities to catering options and ground transportation arrangements. Charter companies strive to accommodate the specific preferences and requirements of each client.
How far in advance do I need to book a private jet charter?
While it’s possible to arrange a last-minute charter in some cases, booking as far in advance as possible is generally advisable to the best options, ensure aircraft availability and secure the best rates. Booking several weeks or months in advance may be necessary for popular travel times, such as holidays or significant events.
What are the benefits of private jet charter compared to commercial air travel?
Private jet air charter service offers several advantages over commercial air travel, including greater flexibility in scheduling, the ability to access smaller airports closer to your destination country, enhanced privacy and security, personalized service, and a more comfortable and luxurious travel experience.
Are there any hidden costs associated with private jet charter?
While reputable charter companies strive for transparency in pricing, it’s essential to carefully review the terms of your charter agreement to understand any potential additional costs, such as landing fees, catering charges, or overnight aircraft storage fees. A reputable broker or charter company should provide a detailed quote outlining all expenses upfront.
Can I bring pets or special cargo on a private jet charter?
In many cases, pets and special cargo can be accommodated on private jet charters, subject to certain restrictions and requirements of aircraft owners. It’s essential to inform the private aircraft charter company in advance so that arrangements can be made to ensure the safety and comfort of all passengers and cargo.
In a world where time is of the essence, private jet charters offer a compelling solution for those who value efficiency and luxury in equal measure. By bypassing the constraints of commercial air travel, these bespoke services enable individuals to reclaim control of their schedules and make the most of every moment. Whether for business or pleasure, the time saved and the convenience afforded by private jet charters make them a coveted asset for discerning travellers seeking to elevate their travel experience to new heights. After all, in the pursuit of success and fulfilment, time truly is the ultimate luxury. | aerospace |
https://reneekellys.com/faa-investigates-whether-the-boeing-737-max-9-conformed-to-the-approved-design/ | 2024-04-13T00:02:08 | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296816465.91/warc/CC-MAIN-20240412225756-20240413015756-00452.warc.gz | 0.972756 | 648 | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | webtext-fineweb__CC-MAIN-2024-18__0__17912889 | en | The Federal Aviation Administration said Thursday it had opened an investigation into whether Boeing failed to ensure its 737 Max 9 plane was safe and built to match the agency’s approved design.
The FAA said the investigation was prompted by the loss of a fuselage panel of a Boeing 737 Max 9 operated by Alaska Airlines shortly after takeoff Friday from Portland, Oregon, leaving a hole in the side of the passenger cabin. The plane returned to Portland to make an emergency landing.
“This incident should never have happened and cannot happen again,” the agency said.
In a letter to Boeing dated Jan. 10, the FAA said that after the Portland incident, it was notified of additional problems with other Boeing 737 Max 9 aircraft. The letter does not detail what other problems were reported to the agency. Alaska and United Airlines, which operate most of the Max 9s in use in the United States, said Monday they discovered loose panel hardware while conducting preliminary inspections on their planes.
The new investigation is the latest setback for Boeing, which is one of only two suppliers of large planes to most airlines. The company has struggled to regain public trust after two crashes, in Indonesia in 2018 and Ethiopia in 2019, in which the 737 Max 8 killed a total of 346 people.
The National Transportation Safety Board is investigating why the 737 Max 9’s panel, also known as the door plug, flew off the Boeing plane. The safety board is trying to determine if bolts that would have prevented the panel from moving and opening were missing or improperly installed. The plug is placed where an emergency exit would be if the plane had the maximum number of seats possible.
Before Thursday’s announcement, the FAA had been working with Boeing to review the company’s instructions for inspecting grounded 737 Max 9 planes. The announcement of the review came after reports of loose bolts from two airlines.
“Boeing’s manufacturing practices must meet the high safety standards they are legally required to meet,” the FAA said in the statement announcing the investigation.
Boeing CEO Dave Calhoun on Tuesday promised transparency in the company’s response to the incident. He also said the company was “acknowledging our mistake” without explaining what he meant. Boeing has declined to elaborate on that comment.
“We will fully and transparently cooperate with the FAA and NTSB in their investigations,” Boeing said in a statement.
United has 79 planes and Alaska has 65, but Alaska has had the highest share of cancellations due to grounding because the Max 9 makes up 20 percent of its fleet.
Mark Lindquist, an attorney who represented the families of victims involved in the Max 8 crashes, said the FAA was being more proactive than in the past by quickly opening an investigation into the Boeing 737 Max 9. Lindquist said the FAA would analyze the plane much more broadly than the NTSB, whose goal is to establish the cause of accidents and make recommendations on how to prevent them.
“The tone of this announcement indicates that the FAA believes there was a potential for loss of life and the severity of Boeing’s quality control problems,” Lindquist said. | aerospace |

The Source has it:
“An E-3 surveillance aircraft was scrambled in response to the second sighting of Russian bombers off the Alaskan coast in 24 hours.
It is unclear if these were the same planes that were intercepted by the F-22s on Monday, but defense officials told CNN that it was a separate violation.
On Tuesday, the two Russian TU-95 Bear bombers once again flew into the Alaskan Air Defense and Identification Zone, according to two US defense officials. The closest the bombers came was 36 nautical miles off the mainland Alaskan coast, and they flew 745 nautical miles southwest of Anchorage.
The first encounter was described by a US military official as safe and professional and took place about 100 miles from Kodiak Island.
US military officials downplayed Monday’s midair interaction as “nothing out of the ordinary” and “not dissimilar from what we’ve seen in the past with respect to Russian long-range aviation.”
But Illinois Republican Rep. Adam Kinzinger said that the Russians were “trying to show their teeth” by flying so close to the US coastline amid tensions between the two nations.” | aerospace |

With estimated losses of $18.6 billion, the grounding of its most popular aircraft and the lowest request for new orders in two decades, the world's largest plane manufacturer has seen its reputation and value plummet since 2019. This unprecedented descent follows two fatal crashes of Boeing's best-selling aircraft, the 737 MAX. The terrifying events of Lion Air Flight JT610 and Ethiopian Airlines Flight ET302 claimed over 346 lives and raised serious questions about the safety and culture of the Boeing organisation. FALL FROM THE SKY investigates the pilots, the airlines and the Boeing organisation in an attempt to identify the factors that led to these inadmissible accidents and expose who really is to blame. | aerospace |

Based on proven small UAS experience with hundreds of thousands of operating hours supporting U.S. and allied armed forces:
Will be made available to select public safety agencies for testing and evaluation
AeroVironment, Inc. today introduced the Qube(TM) portable UAS for use in public safety applications such as law enforcement and first response. Small enough to fit easily in the trunk of a car, the Qube system can be unpacked, assembled and ready for flight in less than five minutes, giving the operator a rapidly deployable eye in the sky at a fraction of the cost of manned aircraft.
“Public safety professionals have been asking for this capability for years,” said Tom Herring, AeroVironmentsenior vice president and general manager of Unmanned Aircraft Systems. “They have learned about the effectiveness of our Raven, Wasp and Puma UAS over the battlefield and want a similar capability that is tailored to their mission requirements. The Qube system targets their needs and will provide a portable aerial vantage point to help public safety workers perform their duties more safely and effectively.”
The Vertical Take-off and Landing (VTOL) air vehicle can hover for 40 minutes — twice the endurance of similar unmanned air vehicles. Equipped with dual color and thermal video cameras, the air vehicle can transmit live video directly to the operator to assist with threat assessment, situational awareness, search and rescue, perimeter security and a variety of other missions.
To demonstrate the Qube system’s unique capabilities, AeroVironment is introducing a trial and evaluation program for public safety agencies. Interested agencies can learn more about this program by completing a request for information form at www.avinc.com/qube .

AeroVironment UAV demos disaster comms
AeroVironment is to employ its small unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) to demonstrate aerial communications capabilities for the US Federal Communications Commission (FCC).
The FCC is examining the ability to re-establish communications rapidly using aerial platform technology following a natural or man-made disaster that renders existing communications networks unusable through a proceeding called Deployable Aerial Communications Architecture (DACA) Notice of Inquiry (NOI).
AeroVironment said it will support the DACA programme by conducting demonstrations using its family of portable, hand-launched small UAS for airborne communication relay. Transportable in a backpack or vehicle and operated using a hand-held control unit, AeroVironment’s small UAS can be assembled and launched in less than five minutes and can fly for between 45 minutes and two hours, depending on the model.
The demonstrations will use AeroVironment’s Digital Data Link (DDL), a standard component of its small UAS, as well as third party communications payloads to connect users with data and voice over long distances. The DDL enables encrypted, beyond-line-of-sight voice, video, data and text communication through each unmanned air vehicle and ground station, and will provide broadband network connectivity for the DACA demonstration.
Off-the-shelf communication relay payloads carried by the small UAS will enable hand-held public safety and emergency response radios to communicate with one another over long distances or beyond-line-of-sight, and without ground-based antennas or repeaters.
AeroVironment will work with the FCC to obtain appropriate experimental licences, coordinate the demonstrations, and showcase how portable, rapidly deployable and affordable small UAS technology can be used to support the DACA mission.
“AeroVironment’s small UAS have proven themselves to be reliable, rugged, and cost-effective lifesaving tools for troops on the frontline,” said Roy Minson, AeroVironment senior vice president and general manager of Unmanned Aircraft Systems. “We are seeing only the beginning of the utility these tools can deliver to military and non-military users. By demonstrating how small UAS can also provide instant communications capabilities we hope to help the FCC and industry envision valuable new applications of our technology to preserve lives, property and resources.”
AeroVironment’s Small UAS include RQ-11B Raven, Wasp AE, RQ-20A Puma and Shrike VTOL. Operating with a common ground control system. The Qube small UAS is tailored to law enforcement, first response and other public safety missions. Small enough to fit easily in the trunk of a car, the Qube system can be unpacked, assembled and ready for flight in less than five minutes, giving the operator a rapidly deployable eye in the sky at a fraction of the cost of manned aircraft and large unmanned aircraft. | aerospace |

“If you don’t have to travel on Wednesday, don’t. If you can postpone your trip even 24 hours, you may be better off. I think Wednesday is going to be a very chaotic day,” said Henry Harteveldt, an airline industry analyst. “It’s a fasten your seatbelt, hang on kind of week, and the next few weeks as well.”READ MORE: Curry Heats Up Late To Lead Warriors Over Rockets, 122-108
In a written statement, the Emirates said flights will be suspended starting Wednesday until further notice. The airline said it is also suspending service to eight other U.S. airports, including Boston (BOS), Chicago (ORD), Dallas-Fort Worth (DFW), Houston (IAH), Miami (MIA), Newark (EWR), Orlando (MCO) and Seattle (SEA).
Emirates said flights to New York’s JFK, Los Angeles and Washington-Dulles will continue as scheduled.
“We are working closely with aircraft manufacturers and the relevant authorities to alleviate operational concerns, and we hope to resume our US services as soon as possible,” the airline said.

ANA said in a statement, “With the launch of 5G service in the U.S. on Wednesday, January 19, the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has indicated that radio waves from the 5G wireless service may interfere with aircraft altimeters. As a result, Boeing has announced flight restrictions on all airlines operating the Boeing 777 aircraft, and we have cancelled or changed the aircraft for some flights to/from the U.S. based on the announcement by Boeing. We regret to inform you that some of the flights had to be canceled as the Boeing 787 aircraft were not able to be arranged.”
Japan Airlines released a statement as well.
“Boeing has notified us that 5G signals for U.S. mobile phones, which will begin operating in the U.S. on January 19, 2022, may interfere with the radio wave altimeter installed on the Boeing 777. We have decided not to use this aircraft-type on the U.S. mainland routes until safety is confirmed, and we regret to cancel the flight that cannot be changed to Boeing 787″
The announcement by the four airlines caps a tumultuous two days of public bickering between Verizon and AT&T, and the airline industry as the two sides trade barbs in the media.
The suspensions come as the nation’s largest airlines warned about a “catastrophic disruption” to travel and shipping operations if the major telecoms roll out 5G near airports on Wednesday as scheduled.
“We are writing with urgency to request that 5G be implemented everywhere in the country except within the approximate two miles of airport runways as defined by the FAA on January 19, 2022,” said the airline CEOs in a letter to Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg and other top government officials.
“To be blunt, the nation’s commerce will grind to a halt,” they went on to say.READ MORE: Heated Debate Expected At Meeting to Discuss Proposed Oakland School Closures
The letter was signed by the CEOs of American, Delta, United and Southwest, along with shipping giants FedEx and UPS.
Verizon and AT&T had already delayed the launch of their new C-Band 5G service twice due to warnings from airlines and aircraft manufacturers that the new system might interfere with devices planes use to measure altitude.
By Tuesday afternoon, both wireless carriers told CBS News they were delaying their 5G launch near airports.
By midday Tuesday, the White House announced it had stepped in to broker an agreement to pause the rollout.
“I want to thank Verizon and AT&T for agreeing to delay 5G deployment around key airports and to continue working with the Department of Transportation on safe 5G deployment at this limited set of locations. This agreement will avoid potentially devastating disruptions to passenger travel, cargo operations, and our economic recovery, while allowing more than 90 percent of wireless tower deployment to occur as scheduled. This agreement protects flight safety and allows aviation operations to continue without significant disruption and will bring more high-speed internet options to millions of Americans. Expanding 5G and promoting competition in Internet service are critical priorities of mine, and tomorrow will be a massive step in the right direction. My team has been engaging non-stop with the wireless carriers, airlines, and aviation equipment manufacturers to chart a path forward for 5G deployment and aviation to safely co-exist – and, at my direction, they will continue to do so until we close the remaining gap and reach a permanent, workable solution around these key airports,” said President Biden in statement.
The wireless carriers took turns taking swipes at the airline industry.
AT&T: “We have voluntarily agreed to temporarily defer turning on a limited number of towers around certain airport runways as we continue to work with the aviation industry and the FAA to provide further information about our 5G deployment, since they have not utilized the two years they’ve had to responsibly plan for this deployment.”
Verizon spokesperson Richard Young: “We have voluntarily decided to limit our 5G network around airports. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and our nation’s airlines have not been able to fully resolve navigating 5G around airports, despite it being safe and fully operational in more than 40 other countries.”
The airlines claim this week’s rollout of C-band 5G could potentially interfere with altimeters and other instruments.
“The FAA lists 17 systems it could be affected and it says the pilot may not be able to catch those errors in time to maintain safe flight and landing.” said Capt. Dennis Tajer with the Allied Pilots Association. “We’ve got every stakeholder that keeps the airplane safe, the airlines, the manufacturers, the pilot unions, even on the mechanic side the engineers saying ‘hey, slow down.’”
Verizon and AT&T have reportedly spent $80 billion in recent years to upgrade and expand 5G service nationwide.
“So what you have is two carriers who spent a ton of money setting up their wireless networks and 5g suddenly being told hey forget all that please shut it down don’t use it and of course they’re upset about that,” said Ian Sherr, CNet Editor At Large. “The airlines want to make sure (5G) is bulletproof safe. And I don’t think a lot of people would argue with them about that. It’ll be interesting to see what it’s going to take to get them over the line of feeling comfortable. Because right now, it seems as though the fact that it’s being used throughout the world is not enough for them.”MORE NEWS: COVID: Critical Staff Shortages Possible When Santa Clara Co.

Bonus Adventure - Plane Spotting
Even though they were doing maintenance on the runway directly in front of the viewing platform, the boys had a great time spotting the planes as they were taking and landing from the alternate runway. They ate lunch on the move, ran/crawled around the platform and thoroughly enjoyed themselves.

When Sir Alan Cobham, the aviation pioneer, visited Merseyside to promote flying and educate the public about the benefits of flying, Liverpool City Council were quickly on the case.
They invited Cobham to check out potential sites for an airfield and he plumped for Hooton Park or Speke. The Council pressed for the latter and in 1928, purchased 2,000 acres of land within the grounds of Speke Hall – a manor house that was built in 1530.
Construction of Speke Airport commenced in 1929 and it was issued with a licence the following year and Imperial Airways offered a Liverpool-Manchester-Birmingham-Croydon service, but it only lasted 3 months. The aerodrome continued on a flying club basis until the onset of World War 2 in 1939 when the Royal Air Force requisitioned the airport. New hangers were constructed, as No. 611 Squadron moved in with Hawker Hart bombers.
In the weeks that followed, more Squadrons arrived and by the early 1940s, RAF Speke had hundreds of military aircraft, and became even more crowded during 1941-42, when Liverpool had to defend itself against the Luftwaffe during the Blitz. The elegant Hawker Harts gave way to the Spitfires and Hurricanes required to protect the city.
No. 611 Squadron destroyed over 240 enemy aircraft throughout the war during their stay in Speke, now better known as Liverpool John Lennon Airport since 2001.
Post Script: On 8th October 1940 (a day before John Lennon’s birth), Pilot Officer Alois Vašátko and Sergeant Josef Stehlík, led by Flight Lieutenant Denys Gillam took off from RAF Speke in their Hawker Hurricanes after a lone Luftwaffe Junkers Ju88 medium bomber was sighted flying up the River Mersey. All three fighters machine-gunned the raider killing its observer and setting fire to its two engines resulting in a forced landing near Bromborough Dock, where the surviving crew were captured. It was the squadron’s first victory and probably the fastest confirmed victory of the war. | aerospace |

NASA’s science rover Perseverance, the most advanced astrobiology laboratory ever sent to another world, landed safely on the floor of a vast crater today, its first stop on a search for traces of ancient microbial life on the Red Planet.
Whilst Lytera had no involvement with the mission, LUNA had the chance to put it’s colourising division to use – created much for the same reason other divisions were – a lack of space to explore. As such, LUNA works on colourising images for NASA and other space programmes for practice.
The landing represented the riskiest part of two-year, $2.7bn endeavor whose primary aim is to search for possible fossilized signs of microbes that may have flourished on the planet about three billion years ago, when the fourth planet from the sun was warmer, wetter and potentially hospitable to life.
Scientists hope to find biosignatures embedded in samples of ancient sediments that Perseverance is designed to extract from Martian rock for future analysis back on Earth – the first such specimens ever collected by humankind from another planet. | aerospace |
