Uber unveils partnerships to build 'flying taxis' by 2020 In its quest to make "flying taxis" a reality, Uber has struck partnerships with a handful of companies and two cities to begin developing the various technologies and infrastructure needed. The company unveiled the deals at its three-day conference on aviation in Dallas. - Aircraft tech companies: Aurora Flight Sciences, Pipistrel Aircraft, Embraer, Mooney, Bell Helicopter - Vertiports (take off/landing pads): Hillwood Properties - Cities: Dallas-Fort Worth, Texas, and Dubai, UAE. The latter's Road and Transport Authority has agreed to fund studies on pricing and customer models, and Uber plans to have prototypes ready for the World Expo in 2020 hosted in Dubai. - Electric charging: ChargePoint Pricing: Uber estimates that in the near-term, a ride in a vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) aircraft will cost about $1.32 per passenger per mile, similar to its current UberX service. In the longer-term, it estimates that will dramatically decrease.

By Baily Nash and Zach Adams On Jan. 14, at Telesis Preparatory Academy, hot air balloon pilot John Triome took flight accompanied by his crew. The weather looked pleasant for a morning flight and Triome was confident it would be a smooth flight. However, before the ride begins, his crew must prepare the balloon for a safe take-off. Triome’s balloon consists of a wicker basket; this is a traditional type of basket guaranteed to lend a smooth landing because the material bends and gives to pressure. During the setup, the crew used two fans with a couple of people holding the balloon open to fill it with air. They do this until the balloon has reached almost 80 percent capacity to speed up the inflation process. Once the balloon reached this stage, crew members heat the balloon with a burner. In less than two minutes, the burner heats the air to around 2,000 degrees Fahrenheit. This large pocket of hot air is what enables the balloon to take flight. Although Triome can control how quickly the balloon rises and falls with a large parachute flap at the top of the balloon that releases air on command, he cannot control the direction of the balloon; that is up to the direction and currents of the wind. Triome spoke with enthusiasm as he told the group of students standing around the basket about how he ended up flying hot air balloons. “I have always wanted to fly, I wanted to be a pilot in the Air Force, but I never got to do that. My wife and I went for a flight in a balloon and after experiencing the flight, I knew I wanted to fly one myself.” Now he loves his career and likes being able to pilot air balloons and allow people to experience the amazing views. Although pilots normally don’t earn much as a pilot for hot air balloons, it is a very enjoyable and interesting job. A balloon pilot can earn up to $35,000-$40,000 for flying seven or eight months in a year. The average height of a normal balloon can go up to 1,000 feet, which is where Triome likes to keep his balloon. There are other pilots who receive special permits to have the ability to soar at 10,500 feet. After all the preparations are complete, the graceful and serene ballooning experience begins.

Space Technologies Qualification Opens at University Centre Truro & Penwith5th Sep 2022 The demand for trained staff in the space industry is due to grow in future years. Projects like the Goonhilly Earth Station, and the variety of space companies growing in the UK evidence a rapidly growing industry. The University Centre Truro and Penwith is aiming to help provide a pathway for passionate and aspiring students to work in the space industry. The university is partnering with Pearson, the awarding body, to develop a new qualification. The team will launch a new undergraduate-level higher national qualification this year. Goonhilly Earth Station and Spaceport Cornwall already support the project. The Open University, the University of Leicester, Airbus, and the UK Space Agency also put themselves behind it. With modules focusing on engineering as well as manufacturing, mission control, and communications, the course focuses on offering students the chance to gain foundational knowledge of many different aspects of space and the space industry, with a view to specialising later through further education or apprenticeship schemes. As explained by The Uni Guide, “The HND offers students a broad introduction to the subject area via a mandatory core of learning, while allowing for the acquisition of some space sector-specific skills and experience through the specialist units and self-directed research project. This effectively continues to build underpinning core and specialist skills while preparing the student for more intense subject specialisation at Level 6.” Upon completion, learners choose to go on to study a BEng or Meng in related subjects such as Space Systems or Aerospace Engineering, offered at a variety of UK universities. Space Technologies qualification opening doors on its own Graduates from the course do not necessarily have to advance to further education. This is not just a gateway course, and it offers people the chance to go straight into employment. Roles such as propulsion engineering technician and satellite manufacturing roles become accessible after completing the course. Given the demand for employees, companies such as Airbus now offer placements and internships that those achieving this HNC/HND will find themselves well positioned. New rooms for new courses The grounds for the course match the high technology subject matter. The South West Institute of Technology at Truro College hosts the newly built Valency building in which the university holds the classes. Dr Heidi Thiemann, co-led the qualification team. She spoke about the offering and what it means for aspiring space professionals. “We are thrilled to have partnered with Pearson and a large number of institutions and NGOs, including the UK Space Agency in the development of this University Level qualification that has been part-funded by the Smart Specialisation Business Needs through Higher Level Skills (SS HLS) project. “Students are already starting our new University Level Space Engineering Technician Apprenticeship in September. The HNC/HND was written to align with this Level 4 Apprenticeship and I’d like to extend my thanks to my colleagues Leslie Nickola, an engineering specialist who joined the college last year from South Africa, Professor Nigel Bannister from the University of Leicester and Roy Haworth from Airbus Defence & Space, who were instrumental in co-writing the programme with us. We aim to be running the new HNC/HND part-time from September 2022 and will recruit a full-time cohort in 2023.” Students interested in the Space Technologies qualification can contact [email protected] for more information.

Amazon seeks FAA permission to test drones outdoors near Seattle SAN FRANCISCO — Amazon.com Inc is seeking permission from U.S. regulators to test its delivery drones near Seattle, as part of a rapid expansion of a program that has sparked widespread debate over the safety and privacy implications of drone technology. Chief Executive Jeff Bezos wants to use drones — small unmanned aircraft — to deliver packages in 30 minutes or less as part of the program dubbed “Prime Air.” The company is developing drones that can fly at speeds of 50 miles per hour. Now Amazon is seeking permission to test drones in outdoor areas near Seattle, where one of its research and development labs is working on the technology, according to a letter posted on the Federal Aviation Administration’s website on Thursday. Currently Amazon can test drones indoors and in other countries. But it cannot conduct R&D flight tests in open outdoor space in the state of Washington, where Amazon has its headquarters. “Of course, Amazon would prefer to keep the focus, jobs and investment of this important research and development initiative in the United States,” the company said in the letter, dated July 9 and signed by Paul Misener, head of global public policy for Amazon. In 2012, Congress required the FAA to establish a road map for the broader use of drones. The FAA has allowed limited use of drones in the U.S. for surveillance, law enforcement, atmospheric research and other applications. Last year, the U.S. government created six sites for companies, universities and others to test drones for broader commercial use in Alaska, Nevada, New York, North Dakota, Texas, and Virginia.

Accession Number : ADA319976 Title : Volume II. Flying Qualities Phase. Chapter 5: Longitudinal Static Stability. Corporate Author : AIR FORCE TEST PILOT SCHOOL EDWARDS AFB CA PDF Url : ADA319976 Report Date : OCT 1990 Pagination or Media Count : 126 Abstract : Static stability is the reaction of a body to a disturbance from equilibrium. To determine the static stability of a body, the body must be initially disturbed from its equilibrium state. If, when disturbed from equilibrium, the initial tendency of the body is to return to its original equilibrium position, the body displays positive static stability or is stable. If the initial tendency of the body is to remain in the disturbed position, the body is said to be neutral stable. However, should the body, when disturbed, initially tend to continue to displace from equilibrium, the body has negative static stability or is unstable. Longitudinal static stability or gust stability of an aircraft is determined in a similar manner. If an aircraft in equilibrium is momentarily disturbed by a vertical gust, the resulting change in angle of attack causes changes in lift coefficients on the aircraft (velocity is constant for this time period). The changes in lift coefficients produce additional aerodynamic forces and moments in this disturbed position. If the aerodynamic forces and moments created tend to return the aircraft to its original undisturbed condition, the aircraft possesses positive static stability or is stable. Should the aircraft tend to remain in the disturbed position, it possesses neutral stability. If the forces and moments tend to cause the aircraft to diverge further from equilibrium, the aircraft possesses negative longitudinal static stability or is unstable.

Upgraded 737 Parts Questioned -- Two Incidents: On Ground At Sea- Tac, In Air Seattle Times Staff Reporter Two incidents in the past week - one on the ground at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, the other in the air over the Atlantic seaboard - have raised fresh questions about replacement rudder-control parts ordered by the FAA for Boeing 737s. Last Friday, pilots doing a preflight check of a United Airlines 737 at Sea-Tac reported the rudder pedals felt sluggish. Mechanics confirmed that the pedals could not be depressed smoothly. They removed a mechanism called the rudder power-control unit, or PCU. On Tuesday, a 737 flown by USAirways' discount carrier, Metrojet, started an uncommanded roll while cruising at 33,000 feet over Maryland. The pilots took a number of steps but did not regain control until they shut off all hydraulic power to the PCU. The plane, carrying 117 people, made a safe emergency landing in Baltimore. Industry and safety officials are paying close attention because each jet recently had been equipped with an upgraded rudder servo valve intended to prevent rudder malfunctions on 737s. More than 900 planes have been upgraded. These are the first two with reported rudder problems. Investigators from the National Transportation Safety Board traveled to the Parker Hannifin plant in Irvine, Calif., yesterday to examine and test the Metrojet's rudder PCU. Parker Hannifin designed and manufactures all 737 rudder PCUs. After that, the investigators will test the United jet's PCU. "It's obviously of considerable interest to us," said Boeing spokesman Russ Young. "We want to understand what's going on. And if we need to take any action, we will." Why servo valve is a concern NTSB officials declined to comment on the incidents or tests, beyond describing the Metrojet incident and noting that investigators would be testing the suspect PCUs. The safety board has given Boeing a copy of the Metrojet flight data-recorder readouts. Boeing will analyze the data to see if the plane's position as it moved through the air, as captured by the recorder, matches the pilots' account of what happened. The Seattle and Baltimore incidents follow the recent discovery that the upgraded servo valves - among FAA-mandated improvements Boeing is making to the rudder-control systems of more than 2,700 737s - are prone to cracking. There is no evidence as yet of cracking in the past week's incidents; in fact, there is nothing so far to indicate the replacement parts figured in the incidents at all. But jamming of the servo valve became a concern after the 1991 crash of a United 737 in Colorado Springs and the similar sudden nose dive of a USAirways 737 in Pittsburgh in 1994. The servo valve directs pressurized hydraulic fluid to move the rudder, the hinged tail section that moves a plane left or right during flight. The NTSB has scheduled a meeting next month to rule on the probable cause of the Pittsburgh crash and, possibly, the Colorado Springs crash. A complex part The 737 is the only large jetliner with a single rudder PCU. Other models have a split rudder or multiple PCUs. In the eight years since the Colorado Springs crash, investigators have learned that the servo valve at the heart of the PCU can jam and inadvertently deflect the rudder to acute angles, quickly twisting the aircraft into a steep dive. The servo valve is a complex part that can jam in a number of ways with varying results. In late 1996, Boeing discovered in lab tests that a certain kind of jam could cause the rudder to reverse, or move in a direction opposite that called for by the pilot. As a result of that finding, Boeing designed the upgraded servo and agreed to install it on all older 737 models - the 737-100s, -200s, -300s, -400s and -500s - by August. How pilots overcame deflection According to the NTSB's account of the Metrojet incident, the 737 had left Orlando on Tuesday bound for Hartford, Conn. It was flying on autopilot, a routine procedure when cruising. Around 11:15 a.m., the crew noticed the control wheel twist left as the plane began to bank to the right. At the same moment, the right rudder pedal depressed without either pilot touching it. Metrojet is a subsidiary of USAirways, which has intensively trained its pilots how to handle rudder problems. The crew deactivated the autopilot and tried to center the rudder pedals. But the pedals did not respond. Next, they disengaged the yaw damper, a device that automatically makes small rudder adjustments in flight. Boeing is taking steps to upgrade the yaw damper on all 737s because the device can sometimes call for rudder deflections when none are needed. Airline procedures call for switching off the yaw damper if the plane banks. But the bank persisted. Next, using a technique recommended by Boeing in early 1997, the pilots shut down the hydraulic system supplying pressurized fluid to the rudder PCU. The plane straightened, with no further problems. The Sea-Tac incident The United incident at Sea-Tac was reminiscent of an incident in Chicago in 1992 during which United Capt. Mack Moore declined to fly a 737 whose rudder pedals were difficult to depress. At the time, the NTSB was trying to solve the Colorado Springs crash. Subsequent tests of what has become known as the Mack Moore PCU led investigators to their discovery that the servo valve could inadvertently reverse the rudder.

Last week in my Eve Masterclass - Probe Strength post I sung the praises of using the Deep Space Probes for exploration as their high strength at long ranges made it easier to nail down the types of some signatures. Well, CCP noticed the same thing and didn't like the implications I guess. Today' latest patch completely nerfed the base strength of Deep Space Probes from 20 to 5! A huge hit and it means that Deep Space probes are identical strength as Combat and Core probes at equivalent ranges. The end result is that the only reason to use a Deep Space Probe now is for exploration content at ranges higher than 32 AU, or ship probing at ranges over 64 AU. In other words, useless in 90% of the cases. Sigh. I just bought some Sisters Deep Space probes last week too. Grrrr....

Enjoy microlighting in Camberley flying out of Blackbushe Airport! This is your chance to experience flying in a modern lights sports aircraft with an expert pilot at the helm. You’ll even get the chance to have a go at the controls yourself during your flight. This microlight training school in Camberley at Blackbushe General Aviation Airport is headed up by Eric who is a highly experienced pilot. He literally has thousands of flying hours under his belt having flown light aircraft hang gliders and microlights in the UK and South Africa. Eric loves nothing more than taking guests up for their first taste of microlighting from Camberley. You’ll be flying in the school’s Aerospool WT9 Dynamic which is a high-performance low-wing microlight with a fully-enclosed cockpit. This low-wing aircraft offers excellent visibility thanks to the bubble canopy and inside it’s a side-by-side configuration. This is great as it means that you can observe what the pilot is doing at all times. As the WT9 is dual-controlled you too will be sitting in front of your own control column. That means that once you’re airborne and flying straight and level it could very well be your turn at the controls. And we have to say there’s nothing quite like the moment you first flew a microlight. This is actually you at the helm as you cruise over the Surrey countryside. Pretty amazing stuff eh? Of course there’s a lot to learn if you want to actually become a microlight pilot but these experiences in Camberley do count towards your training log book. And even if you have no ambitions on that front actually flying this sporty little aircraft on your very first sortie is totally thrilling. We are offering 30 and 60-minute flights out of the lovely Blackbushe Airport. Well-situated near the M3 and easily accessible from the likes of Farnborough Bracknell Basingstoke and beyond microlighting with this Camberley-based operator is a great choice to get you airborne in a superb little plane.

Mission Type: Aerial NASA Center: Ames Research Center Principal Investigator: Dr. Peter Jenniskens P. Jenniskens/NASA-ARC, http://leonid.arc.nasa.gov NASA: Near-Live Leonid Watching System, http://leonids.hq.nasa.gov/leonids/more.html Leonid MAC, NASA's first Astrobiology mission, is a series of 5 missions that took flight in aircraft during the years 1998, 1999, 2000, 2001, and 2002. By observing and studying meteor showers, the mission looked to learn how extraterrestrial materials may have been brought to Earth at the time of the origin of life. In addition, the interaction of meteoroids with the atmosphere generates molecules that may have played a role in the origin of life on Earth. Using a varied mix of spectrometers, cameras, imagers, photometers and spectrographs each year, the Leonid MAC team flew in two separate aircraft to view and study the Leonid meteor storm. Every year in mid-November, Earth passes close to an area of the debris trails left from the passing of periodic comet Tempel-Tuttle. The trail is littered with very small sand grain sized pebbles and dust that have eroded off the comet by solar wind and radiation. As Earth collides with this trail of dust each year, we usually can observe a meteor shower with up to 30 visible meteors per hour under clear dark skies. As pieces of this cometary debris enter Earth's atmosphere at an extremely high rate of speed, some 71 km per second, they cause the atmosphere to glow along their path leaving a visible ionized meteor trail. As Leonid meteors appear to emanate from, or point back to, the constellation Leo, it is known as the annual Leonid meteor shower. Throughout the five years that this mission took flight many discoveries were made and the team was able to obtain many incredible images of the Leonid storms. Some of the discoveries made by the Leonid MAC team included the ability to weigh meteors by measuring the amount of iron atoms that are ablated in the wake of a meteor. The team also made the first detection of mid-infrared emissions coming from relatively faint meteors and the first mid-infrared spectroscopy of persistent meteor trains. Leonid MAC also detected, and later confirmed, the existence of a halo and shadow surrounding the head of bright Leonid meteors. Besides these discoveries and more, the team made near-real time reports to satellite operators during the 1999 and 2002 Leonid MAC missions. 2001's Leonid meteor storm was the most spectacular of the five missions.

Insurgents armed with basic anti-aircraft weapons likely shot down a British military plane in Iraq earlier this year, killing all 10 servicemen on board, a British newspaper has reported. An interim report into the cause of Britain's biggest single-day loss of life in the Iraq campaign had ruled out almost everything apart from enemy fire and it was suggested that a missile or rocket propelled grenade could have brought the Royal Air Force (RAF) craft down. A military official, however, told the Daily Telegraph that the report concluded that the C-130 Hercules had been shot down by anti-aircraft rounds, as it flew at a low altitude, possibly 46 metres. "It was shredded by a multi-barrelled 20mm canon. They have worked out that's what caused the crash," the anonymous official was quoted as saying in the newspaper. If the report is accurate, it could force US-led coalition planes to fly out of range of all anti-aircraft fire, according to the daily. It said the gun is believed to have been a 1960s twin-barrel Zu-23, made in China or the Soviet Union, left over from the toppled regime of Saddam Hussein. It has an effective range of 1.8 kilometres and can be mounted on a truck or set on wheels. The Daily Telegraph added that it was still unknown why the Hercules, which was equipped with sophisticated defensive measures, was flying at low altitude for a short journey from Baghdad airport to another military air base on January 30, when the majority of flights climb much higher. Australian airman Paul Pardoel died when the Hercules transport plane crashed. The 35-year-old flight lieutenant and father of three, a former RAAF navigator joined the British Air Force three years ago, and was recorded as the first Australian serviceman killed in Iraq.

Floating 240 miles above Earth, the International Space Station is a technological marvel – the greatest undertaking in human history – a project that only succeeded because of the cooperative efforts of over a dozen nations. Here are some interesting Facts about the International Space Station: 1. The ISS launched in the late 90s. Space station, an artificial structure placed in orbit and having the pressurized enclosure, power, supplies, and environmental systems necessary to support human habitation for extended periods. Since 1971, 11 space stations launched into a low orbit around Earth have been occupied for varying lengths of time. The International Space Station started in 1998. The first modules of the station were launched by the Russians and the Americans. The Russians first went with ‘Zarya’. NASA followed two weeks later with ‘Unity’. 2. It was a labor between many nations. Space Station fridge magnets are 2x2 inches and feature a high-gloss, weather-resistant finish. Get yours with a $25 (plus postage) donation. Become a Monthly Supporter. You can make sure that SomaFM is able to keep broadcasting by becoming a monthly supporter. Easy to setup, easy to cancel. The International Space Station is the largest structure ever built in space. The first module — the Russian Zarya module — launched from Earth 15 years ago on Nov. Sixteen countries participated in the construction of the station, not just the USA and Russia but also Canada, France, Spain, the UK, and Belgium, to mention but a few. 3. It wasn’t a one-flight job! It took 136 space flights to complete the International Space Station. NASA and its partners used seven different types of vehicles to get the relevant components to space. 4. The ISS is a beacon in the night. The ISS is the third brightest object in the sky (the brightest are the Moon and Venus). You can sign up for a service that allows NASA to send you a text whenever the station is flying over your location. It’s called Spot the Station. Depending on the time of day or night, you can see it with the naked eye. 5. The ISS is extremely fast. The International Space Station is moving at a speed of 5 miles per second. It circles Earth every 90 minutes. At that speed, it would make a round trip to the Moon in a day. 6. The ISS is a space record-breaker. With a length of 109 metres and a pressured volume of 32,300 cubic feet, the ISS is the largest manned object mankind kind has ever put into space. 7. In fact, it’s a record-breaker on Earth! At 460 tons, it is the biggest and heaviest object ever made. 8. It was also very expensive. Somewhat larger than a 6-bedroom house in terms of livable space, the ISS is also the most expensive object mankind has ever made, costing more than $120 billion. 9. What does The ISS do? It was designed to conduct space-related research. Besides exploring the possibility of future space travel, scientists from a wide range of fields also study the effect of microgravity on the human body, not to mention dark matter and other important matters. 10. There’s all mod cons up in Space. Even though they live an isolated life, the astronauts on the ISS enjoy a number of modern amenities, including a gymnasium and two bathrooms. 11. We’re not taking the… The rumours you have heard are true. The ISS takes urine from the crew and lab animals and funnels it back into the water supply. Of course, the urine is filtered and treated appropriately to make it safe for human consumption. 12. Space… Smells? According to some astronauts, space has a smell. If you are standing in the right place when the pressure between the station and a docking craft is equalised, you will catch a ‘metallic-ionised’ odour in the air. 13. Exercise is essential up here. The crew of the International Space Station spends two hours a day working out. This is the only way to prevent the loss of muscle and bone mass. 14. It’s not all business! There are 52 computers on the station. The crew members have internet access which they use for entertainment and communication purposes. 15. How do you eat in The ISS? The people living in the station eat three meals a day. Rather than sitting, they just float. Their meals constitute canned and dehydrated food items.

Astronauts use special clippers which are attached to a vacuum that collects all the hair. Stray hairs could clog the air filters. 17. Earth From above!

Otherwise, you could float off at the most inopportune moment. 19. There’s US-Russian division on H2O! American and Russian crew members use separate water supplies. This is because they use different substances to control bacteria: silver for the Russians and iodine for the Americans. The substances cannot be allowed to mix. 20. Quicker than a 30 degree cycle! Astronauts don’t necessarily do laundry. Old clothes are burnt. New clothes are shipped to the station in an unmanned craft. 21. How do astronauts breathe on The ISS? To make breathable cabin air, water is split by electrolysis into oxygen and hydrogen The oxygen is circulated onboard and the hydrogen is exhausted into space.

Aircraft stalls are extremely dangerous since they can cause a plane to crash. But what causes an aircraft to stall? An aircraft stalls when it exceeds its critical angle of attack, the angle at which it generates maximum lift. Thankfully, aircraft stalls are relatively uncommon, especially among commercial airplanes. If a plane stalls, the pilot will attempt to reverse the stall before the plane crashes. A pilot will do this by reducing the plane’s pitch, which reduces its angle of attack and increases lift. Table of Contents - 1 What Causes an Aircraft to Stall? - 2 What Happens When an Aircraft Stalls - 3 How an Aircraft Stalling Differs from a Car Stalling - 4 Why it’s Dangerous for an Aircraft to Stall - 5 Warning Signs that an Aircraft Will Stall - 6 Aircraft Can Recover From a Stall - 7 Aircraft Stalling is Uncommon - 8 2 Famous Stall-Related Plane Crashes What Causes an Aircraft to Stall? A plane stalls when its airfoils that are designed to produce lift are suddenly reduced because the plane’s critical angle of attack is reached or exceeded. When the plane’s angle of attack exceeds this value, it stops producing as much lift. A plane’s critical angle of attack is the angle where it produces maximum lift. Most planes have a critical angle of attack of 15°. Upon exceeding this angle, airflow over the plane is insufficient to generate lift. As a result, the plane stalls. What Happens When an Aircraft Stalls When an aircraft stalls, it no longer has enough lift to stay airborne. The aircraft falls as a result unless corrected by the pilot. During a stall, the pilot experiences sluggish plane controls. If one of the plane’s wings stalls before the other, the plane can roll to one side. How an Aircraft Stalling Differs from a Car Stalling A plane stalls because it’s not generating enough lift to stay in the air. A car stalls because its engine has stopped working due to multiple possible reasons, including mechanical failure. A car stall is also dangerous, but it’s easier to handle. If a car stalls, the driver should just park their car on the side of the road. In contrast, an aircraft stall could lead the plane to crash if not corrected. Why it’s Dangerous for an Aircraft to Stall It’s dangerous for an aircraft to stall because the plane’s wings lose their intended purpose. The wings no longer generate the lift needed to keep the plane in the air. So an aircraft stall leads to a plane crashing unless its stall is corrected. Warning Signs that an Aircraft Will Stall These are the 6 general warning signs that an aircraft will likely stall: - Sluggish plane controls - High descent rate - Substantial aft control displacement - Aircraft buffet - Artificial stall warnings activating - A nose-pitching down tendency where the stall occurs Aircraft Can Recover From a Stall If a pilot notices a stall early, they may recover using the following 5 steps: - 1. Disconnect the autopilot and autothrottle The pilot needs to disconnect the autopilot and autothrottle to take manual control of the plane. - 2. Nose-down pitch control The pilot will reduce pitch control to reduce the plane’s angle of attack. Reducing the angle of attack will increase airflow over the plane to generate lift. - 3. Roll the plane The pilot will roll the plane in the opposite direction it rolled during the stall. - 4. Adjust thrust Stalls can occur anywhere between low to maximum thrust. The pilot needs to adjust the thrust to an appropriate level. - 5. Return to the flight path Once the plane is stable, the pilot will readjust to its original flight path. Aircraft Stalling is Uncommon It’s uncommon for aircraft to stall. General aviation planes are much, much more likely to stall than commercial ones, and most aircraft stall while taking off or landing rather than when cruising. A report by AOPA reveals that aircraft stalls caused between 17-29% of aviation incidents between 2000 and 2014. But stalls only accounted for 0.5% of incidents involving commercial planes. 2 Famous Stall-Related Plane Crashes Two of the most famous stall-related plane crashes include: 1. Thai Airways International Flight 261 Thai Airways International Flight 261 flew on 11 December 1998 from Bangkok, Thailand, to Surat Thani, Thailand. The plane stalled and crashed into a swamp, killing 101 people, while attempting to land at the airport. 2. China Airlines Flight 676 China Airlines Flight 676 crashed into a road and residential area in Taoyuan, Taiwan, in 1998. The plane crashed because of a stall caused by the pilot attempting a manual go-around. The crash killed all 196 people onboard, including the governor of Taiwan’s central bank, Sheu Yuan-dong. - An aircraft stall is caused by a plane reaching or exceeding its critical angle of attack. - A plane’s critical angle of attack is the angle at which its airfoils generate maximum lift. Exceeding this angle prevents the plane’s wings from generating lift. - The absence of lift causes the plane to fall from the sky unless corrected. - Aircraft stalls are extremely dangerous since they can, and have, caused plane crashes. - Pilots can correct aircraft stalls by disabling the plane’s autopilot and reducing the plane’s pitch to reduce its critical angle of attack. - The pilot would also need to roll the plane if one of the wings stalled before the other, causing an unintended roll.

Sea surface temperatures from the NOAA-19 AVHRR sensor have exhibited larger than usual errors since 3rd September 2018, associated with the satellite passing for the first time into a fully sunlit orbit. NOAA-18 is expected to pass into a full-sun regime in late February 2019. Users are alerted to possible degradation in accuracy of IMOS AVHRR L3S SST products in coming weeks. The new operational IMOS Multi-Sensor L3S products are recommended for use. IMOS has produced a 27-year suite of satellite-based sea surface temperature (SST) composites on a 0.02 deg x 0.02 deg grid, using locally received data from AVHRR sensors aboard the series of NOAA Polar-Orbiting Environmental Satellites (NPOES). From 2018, NOAA officially replaced the AVHRR sensor program with the Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) sensor program, after a long trial which began with the first VIIRS sensor launch in 2012 aboard the Suomi National Polar-orbiting Partnership (NPP) platform. IMOS has, since 16th November 2018, included the VIIRS SST from NPP in a new suite of Multi-sensor operational real-time SST products, resulting in improvements to overall quality, accuracy and coverage. This new product is intended to be a drop-in replacement for the existing AVHRR-only product set, with similar file format. For further information and data access please read this short article. NOAA-18 and NOAA-19 are the last in the series of operational NPOES satellites to carry AVHRR sensors, starting with NOAA-6 in 1981, although they are still carried on the European Space Agency (ESA) MetOp series of polar-orbiters. Orbital decay of NOAA-18 and NOAA-19 during recent years has affected the accuracy of the real-time IMOS AVHRR SST products during some months. The AVHRR sensor on NOAA-19 was adversely affected by passing for the first time into a fully sunlit orbit on 13th September 2018, and from 29th September 2018 SSTs from this satellite have not contributed to the IMOS AVHRR-only L3S products. NOAA-18 is expected to pass into a similar full-sun orbit in late February 2019, with degradation in SST accuracy expected. It is therefore recommended that users requiring accurate 2 km SST composites over the Australian region consider using the new IMOS Multi-sensor L3S.

Shanmuga Subramanian, a mechanical engineer from Chennai was the reason how NASA found the pictures of Vikram Lander on moon. Here is more about Indian hero Subramanian Chennai: US space agency NASA posted pictures of Chandrayaan-2's Vikram Lander’s debris on the surface of the moon and this news created a huge buzz on social media on Tuesday (December 4). But, do you know it was a Chennai man who helped NASA find Vikram Lander. A tweet to National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) by Shanmuga Subramanian , a mechanical engineer from Chennai, was the reason how the world's top astronomy agency found the pictures of Vikram Lander. Subramanian currently works in the IT sector, at a multinational company. He completed his graduation from the Government Engineering College in Tirunelvelli, Tamil Nadu. “I was able to find something out of the ordinary in a particular spot, so, I thought this must be the debris. I got confirmation from NASA today,” Subramanian told ANI. He said that he had sent a tweet on finding the exact location of Vikram Lander to NASA as well as ISRO. He had also emailed the information on location to a couple of scientists in NASA. Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) had lost contact with Vikram Lander during its soft-landing near the moon's south pole. “Is This Vikram Lander? (1 Km From The Landing Spot) Lander Might Have Been Buried In Lunar Sand?,” Subramanian had tweeted on October 3, tagging NASA and ISRO. He posted another tweet on November 17 with additional details on the crash site. NASA had taken an image on September 17 that was shared on September 26 and asked the public to compare it with other images from the area where Vikram Lander had crash landed. Subramanian made some research was successful in giving the positive identification. Here is NASA's response to Subramanian 's tweet. Last Updated Dec 3, 2019, 4:21 PM IST

STENNIS SPACE CENTER, MS (WLOX) - New jobs are coming to Stennis Space Center. Aerojet Rocketdyne announced Monday assembly and testing of its AR1 advanced liquid rocket engine will take place at the NASA facility in Hancock County. As a result, the company is expanding and adding 70 new jobs. Aerojet Rocketdyne's Stennis operation is already home for assembly and testing of two other engines. The RS-68 engine powers the Delta IV family of launch vehicles, and the RS-25 engine will power NASA's Space Launch System, America's newest heavy lift launch vehicle in development. "I am pleased that Aerojet Rocketdyne has chosen to expand its operations in Mississippi, which will strengthen our nation's aerospace industry and bring more good-paying jobs to the Gulf Coast. Establishing this new center of excellence is vital to reducing our reliance on foreign-made rocket engines," said U.S. Sen. Roger Wicker. The AR1 is being developed to support the country's mandate to eliminate U.S. reliance on the Russian RD-180 engine for national security space launches by 2019. "We have had a long history of partnering with Stennis to power the nation into space. Assembly and testing of the AR1 at NASA Stennis adds to that legacy. This plan will establish Aerojet Rocketdyne's facility at NASA Stennis as the company's center of excellence for large liquid rocket engine assembly and test and solidify NASA's Stennis Space Center as the nation's premier rocket engine test facility," said Aerojet Rocketdyne CEO and President Eileen Drake.

excerpt from wikipedia: "In 1950, MIT undertook a summer study, named Project Charles, to explore the feasibility of establishing a major laboratory focused on air defense. The summer study recommended the establishment of a laboratory, named Project Lincoln to be operated by MIT for the Army, Navy and Air Force. The name "Project Lincoln" was chosen because the Laboratory sits near the towns of Bedford, Lexington and Lincoln, MA, and the names "Project Lexington" and "Project Bedford" were already taken by other DOD efforts. In the early years, the most important developments to come out of Lincoln Lab were SAGE (Semi-Automatic Ground Environment), a nationwide network of radar and anti-aircraft weapons linked to digital computers. Some of the earliest computer graphics and user interface research was done at the laboratory, including Sutherland's Sketchpad system. Research into "packetized speech," (now VoIP) done in collaboration with other researchers, led to the creation of UDP. MIT's relationship with Lincoln Lab has come under intense scrutiny several times. During the late 1960s and early 1970s, growing disaffection with U.S. involvement in Vietnam led to student demonstrations demanding that MIT halt defense research, MIT responded by spinning off the semi-autonomous Draper Labs entirely and moving all on-campus classified research to Lincoln Lab." Bill Buxton's presentation on the history of the Lincoln Labs on ePresence.tv from their own history page: Created in 1951 as a federally funded research center of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Lincoln Laboratory was focused on improving the nation's air defense system through advanced electronics. The Laboratory’s inception was prompted by the Air Defense Systems Engineering Committee’s 1950 report that concluded the U.S. was unprepared for the threat of an air attack. Because of MIT’s management of the Radiation Laboratory during World War II, the experience of some of its staff on the Air Defense Systems Engineering Committee, and its proven competence in electronics, the Air Force was convinced that MIT could provide the research needed to develop an air defense that could detect, identify, and ultimately intercept air threats. MIT’s Whirlwind computer of the 1940s gave promise of solving these challenges. Building on the Whirlwind’s digital technology, early research at Lincoln Laboratory tackled the design and prototype development of a network of ground-based radars and aircraft control centers for continental air defense—the Semiautomatic Ground Environment (SAGE). Significant technical advances.Expanding Mission Over the 50+ years since the Laboratory’s establishment, the scope of the problems has broadened from the initial emphasis on air defense to include space surveillance, missile defense, surface surveillance and object identification, communications, and air traffic control, all supported by a strong advanced electronic technology activity. The Laboratory’s Millstone Hill radar, completed in 1957, utilized the first all-solid-state, programmable digital computer for real-time tracking of objects in space. In addition to its role in developing technology basic to the ballistic missile early warning system, the Millstone Hill facility was the first radar to detect the Soviet Sputnik satellites and later served as a tracking station for Cape Canaveral launches. [...] In the early 1960s, MIT Lincoln Laboratory initiated the development of satellite communications systems for national defense, resulting in the launch of eight experimental communications satellites. The Laboratory demonstrated advances in autonomous spacecraft control, the use of solid state devices to ensure long-term spacecraft reliability, and the development of mobile earth terminals for secure communications systems. In the early 1970s, MIT Lincoln Laboratory began an active program in civil air traffic control, emphasizing radar surveillance, collision avoidance, hazardous-weather detection, and the use of automation aids in the control of aircraft. In the 1980s, the Laboratory accomplished significant experiments in compensating for the effects of atmospheric turbulence by using adaptive optics and developed a high-power laser radar system. In the 1990s, work for other government agencies included sensor development for NOAA and NASA. The Laboratory developed an advanced land imaging instrument as part of NASA’s New Millennium Program. To support its aggressive approach to advanced systems development, MIT Lincoln Laboratory has also maintained a leadership role in basic research in surface and solid-state physics and materials relevant to solid-state physics. The Laboratory performed the initial research for the development of the semiconducting laser and designed an infrared laser radar to develop techniques for high-precision pointing and tracking of satellites." The Laboratory has also made significant contributions to the early development of modern computer graphics, the theory of digital signal processing, and the design and construction of high-speed digital signal processing computers. Signal processing remains a key element of many Laboratory programs, including special-purpose high-throughput processors. The Laboratory has advanced the technology of speech coding for digital processing. Speech coding and recognition, along with automatic translation, are continuing areas of interest."

Korean Air Gulfstream G400 is the same model of airplane as the one golfer Tiger Woods owns, and nine of the world’s top 50 companies have that type of aircraft. The 14-seat plane is fully equipped with satellite phones, tables, sofas, audio and video on demand, and an electricity supply for laptops. Some of the seats can be transformed into beds for more comfortable rest. Passengers can also order in-flight meals. Korean Air’s in-flight meals have been highly evaluated, winning prizes from many international airline organizations, including the Mercury Award from the International Travel Catering Association. Safety is also a top priority. Korean Air is one of the leading global carriers in the world, with a wide-ranging network, experienced pilots and maintenance systems that abide by strict safety standards. Some celebrities who boarded the private jet expressed satisfaction with the carrier’s 37 years of operation know-how and services. During the 2002 World Cup, the aircraft carried dignitaries of the Federation Internationale de Football Association (FIFA), including Pele. In November 2006, former U.S. President George H. W. Bush visited Andong, North Kyongsang Province, during his visit to Korea. He used the business jet to get from Andong to China. During the flight, the weather was very bad, and pilots tried to steer clear of storm clouds to minimize turbulence by communicating with the Korean Air control center. After safely and comfortably arriving in China, the former president reportedly expressed his gratitude to the pilots, calling them an “excellent crew.”

Essential Flight Information: Key Data Points for Class C5 and Class C6 Drone Manufacturers In this article, we will discuss one of the requirements that Class 5 and Class 6 drones must meet to be certified. These drones are intended to be flown in the STS-01 scenario for a C5 drone and STS-02 for a C6 drone. Before diving into the details, let’s define what Situational Awareness is, a clear concept to understand this requirement: Situational Awareness in Drone Flight 1. Gather information from the environment. 2. Integrate this information with the pilot’s internal knowledge to create a mental picture of the current situation. 3. Use this picture to guide ongoing perceptual scanning. 4. Anticipate future events. As you can see from the definition, a key element is information. The information required for safe flight comes from various sources, but this article focuses on the information provided by the aircraft. Human Machine Interface (HMI) HMIs display real-time data and enable users to control the device through a graphical user interface. What Is the Purpose of an HMI? - Speed is displayed on the speedometer. - Music, lights, and air conditioning are controlled through buttons or perhaps a touchscreen. - The accelerator controls the engine. - The steering wheel controls the direction. Imagine being able to control all aspects of your vehicle and obtain detailed information about its operation on a single screen. Your car’s dashboard would be an HMI. This is precisely what a drone’s control interface should provide: all flight-related information and elements necessary for control. Designing a Drone's HMI For this, it’s crucial that the manufacturer pays attention to critical aspects such as: - Colors and graphics - Dynamic elements - Types of warnings and alarms - Font size and typography - Sounds, messages, haptic feedback - Help information - Menu hierarchies - Screen navigation In summary, an HMI that is easy to understand and provides clear options to end-users reduces errors and stress. Flight Information for C5 and C6 Drones in STS-01 and STS-02 Scenarios All the preceding information leads us to this point. According to regulations, drones with a C5 marking must provide the following information to the pilot clearly and concisely during flight: - Drone altitude above the surface or take-off point - Drone’s geographical position * - Speed * *Only for C6 drones* The manufacturer must provide this information in flight interfaces, following all best practices in HMI design to ensure that the operation is as safe as possible. For example, not displaying the unit in which the data is presented could confuse the pilot about the speed at which they are traveling, or an error in the reference system could make the pilot think their altitude is relative to the ground when it’s actually relative to the sea.

A satellite launched by the European Space Agency has mapped the entire Earth's gravitation field in unprecedented detail. The resulting map, which you can see above, shows where gravity is strong and where it's weak. Blue indicates weak areas, green is average, and orange is stronger. These deviations are a result of the fact that the earth isn't an exact sphere. Instead, it's a bumpy spheroid with some areas higher and some areas lower. The measurements, which have been taken by Europe's GOCE satellite, have allowed scientists to precisely define the geoid -- exactly where a level gravitational surface is across the planet. The satellite, which was launched in 2009, flies at an altitude of 254.9km -- the lowest orbit of any other research satellite. As it flies so low, it's more subject to the pull of gravity -- which helps it to detect miniscule changes in the planet's gravitational field as it flies from pole to pole, but also means that it uses more fuel in its flight to keep it airborne. Scanning the entire world took around two months. The applications are numerous. Climate change researchers model ocean currents very carefully, and so will benefit greatly from knowing how gravity affects the huge masses of water in the oceans. In fact, if there were no winds or currents, it's the shape that the ocean would take on the earth's surface, so comparing the geoid to the shape that the oceans actually take gives us some insight into what the other forces at work are. Elsewhere, the information could be useful to geophysicists who want to know what's happening deep within the Earth, or engineers building a pipeline over a long distance and wanting to know what direction a fluid will naturally want to flow. Prof. Reiner Rummel, the chairman of the GOCE mission advisory group, said: "The computed global gravity field looks very promising. We can already see that important new information will be obtained for large areas of South America, Africa, Himalaya, South-East Asia and Antarctica. Over continents, and in particular in regions poorly mapped with terrestrial or airborne techniques, we can already conclude that GOCE is changing our understanding of the gravity field. "Over major parts of the oceans, the situation is even clearer, as the marine gravity field at high spatial resolution is for the first time independently determined by an instrument of such quality."

Learn more about the crew and the flight of the Marco Polo space mission from Europe. Read the full transcript » Learn About the Marco Polo Space Mission This mission to the international space station had returned to earth after successfully delivering a new life boat to the station and making history by taking the first African into space. The cosmopolitan crew of the Marco Polo flight comprised with Italian astronaut, a Russian mission commander and South African businessman Mark Shuttleworth who had paid some $20 million for his participation in the flight. The three strong, crew had thundered into the big day skies with a perfect lift off from the wide open plains of Kazakhstan. The perfect docking with the ISS took place in the morning followed 19 minutes later by the—into the station and a warm welcome by the resident crew. One of the crew, Vittorio a trained military test pilot described life on board the station with the Expedition 4 crew. He said it’s clear that changing the crew from 3 to 6 with the actual configuration of the station was not an easy task with the resources on board that are very limited. During the 18 days in space, the Marco Polo crew attracted considerable interest. Vittorio was the third European astronaut to visit the space station and during his 8-day stay were servicing the four-European scientific experiments of the Marco Polo mission. Sponsored by the Italian space station C, the experiments ranged from studying the effects of cosmic particles on humans in space to more commercial experiments that assessed newly developed clothing. One experiment Chiron seen here was designed to understand the forces and pressure invoked by astronauts as they use their arms to move around in microgravity. After 10 days in orbit, the taxi cruise safely descended to earth in the Soya’s capsule with the textbook landing on the plains of Kazakhstan. These last few moments will describe by the still visibly excited Mark Shuttleworth, the second space tourist and first African to visit the ISS by saying “It was all very sudden and very dramatic. I didn’t know what to expect. They told us when were to kilometer, 500 meters, and 300 meters and then just before the impact, so you would know when to brace but still the landing was much unexpected and very hard when it hits”. Following their exciting return to earth, the crew enjoyed their first meal a little more sedate than the fun of eating in space. This meal on the final ceremonies marked the end to a successful 10-day mission. Marco Polo was another in a series of European manned missions to the international space station.

Tag: AviationView All Tags Social Media / ET 702 / Ethiopian Airlines / Twitter / Hijackings / Travel News / John Walton / Aviation / → All Tags At Jaunted, we strive to bring you the news, not be a part of the news. Today, we did both, and we wanted to take some time to talk about that. Thousands upon thousands of retweets and shares, and even more regurgitation by general media, of our early and comprehensive coverage of this morning's Ethiopian Airlines flight 702 hijacking started the week. The news of the situation first broke out and took hold thanks to the diligent research and tweets of John Walton, aviation journalist, former contributor right here at Jaunted, and current Director of Data for Routehappy. The bulk of the action transpired online around 6:00am local time in Geneva, or midnight in EST. The Twitters of John (@thatjohn), and of our own Editor, Cynthia Drescher (@JetSetCD), quickly became the top source accounts for updates on the situation (even yielding a recommendation from Twitter's Director of Data, @smfrogers), despite being 4,000 miles removed from Geneva. Sports Travel / Aviation / Red Bull Air Race / Kirby Chambliss / Events / Airshows / Las Vegas Travel / Dallas Travel / How to Get Tickets to / → All Tags It seems like just yesterday that the VROOM of high performance aircraft was booming over New York Harbor, but in reality that was already three years ago, when the Red Bull Air Race World Championships last took to the skies to crown one aerobatic pilot most daredevil of all. Now, after those three years of quiet, the "world's fastest motorsport" returns and soon! While there's no NYC date on the calendar, the US will see the races come to Dallas and Las Vegas and tickets are already available. Historical Travel / Events / Airlines / Airports / Aviation / AvGeek / Travel News / → All Tags Last week, when the clock struck midnight and the calendar flipped into 2014, we didn't just celebrate the entry of a new year, but also the 100th anniversary of commercial aviation. On January 1st in 1914, Percival Fansler organized the funding for the St. Petersburg-Tampa Airboat Line to ferry passengers across Tampa Bay. The trip took 23 minutes and the mayor of St. Petersberg paid $400 at an auction for the first flight. Since then, the industry has become part of the fabric of our lives, carrying on average of 8 million passengers on a daily basis. Sports Travel / Aviation / Red Bull Air Race / Kirby Chambliss / Events / Airshows / Las Vegas Travel / Dallas Travel / → All Tags After three years of quiet, the "world's fastest motorsport" is getting back up into the air as the Red Bull Air Race World Championships announces race dates for 2014, beginning as early as February. Of the seven races throughout the year, two will take place on American soil: Dallas in September and Las Vegas in October. In past Red Bull Air Races (2003-2010), high-performance airplanes zoomed through an obstacle course of pylons while traveling at speeds up to 230 mph only 50-80 feet above water or undeveloped land. Now, after the three years of break to improve safety and organization, the air race will occur at a few speedways, meaning plenty of existing crowd stands and infrastructure for the thousands of spectators to properly view all the heart-pounding maneuvers of the twelve competing pilots (yes, including Kirby Chambliss). Flight Reviews / Aviation / Airplanes / VNY / PSP / MHV / Palm Springs Travel / Beechcraft / Beechcraft Bonanza / Awesome Stuff / California Travel / Mojave Travel / Airports / US Travel / → All Tags Imagine having flown everywhere, but never actually anywhere. It's confusing, but it's the case for our editor, Cynthia, who recently headed out on her first private plane flight after years of commercial plane travel. Here's her story: "It's just like driving a car," he said. "You won't ever look at flying the same way again." Sid passed his hand down the wing, pausing here and there to look over and under, squinting with the sun's glare on what was a sparkling clear day in southern California. We were in a kind of parking lot, after all, except one that had us surrounded by private jets on the tarmac at Van Nuys Airport. And we were double-checking that all was well before setting off for a weekend trip, except that trip would be over mountains and cities in a teeny-tiny, seafoam green 1962 Beechcraft Bonanza V-Tail. This would be my first flight in a private plane. London Travel / Airline News / Aviation / Emirates / LHR / Museum Travel / A380 / 777 / Flight Simulators / → All Tags A trip to London need not be filled with the usual Royal tours, high tea and Big Ben. Thanks to Emirates, visitors to Emirates Air Line, the recently opened cable car from the Greenwich Peninsula to the Royal Docks, will now be able to learn how modern aviation brought them to the foreign city. Remember when the airline renamed two stations? Just yesterday, the airline opened their Emirates Aviation Experience on the south end of the cable line. The 300-square meter facility will host interactive exhibits teaching visitors how awesome aviation is; it's so hands-on that within the experience are four flight simulators so you may try your own hand at flying a Airbus A380 or a Boeing 777. Pilots / JetBlue / American Airlines / Aviation / Airline Industry / iPad / Apple / Travel Tech / Technology / → All Tags From United to Alaska Airlines there’s been quite a few airlines that have received iPads in the cockpit, and it looks like the technology continues to flow into the front of the plane. Most recently it has been American Airlines making the most dramatic change, as they recently just completed getting rid of all the paper in the cabin—for the most part—as the carrier has completely switched over to electronic flight bags. American Airlines has been quick to point out that they’re the first major carrier to completely ditch paper this and that in favor of documents that can be loaded onto an iPad, as they are now approved to use the electronics during all the different phases of the flight. Each and every one of their planes is good to go, as the entire fleet has been given the go ahead to move forward. They aren’t just stopping with the mainline fleet either, as July 10 will bring an electronic option to the American Eagle regional branch of the airline as well. Airline News / KLM / Social Media / Games / Aviation / iPhone Travel Apps / Android Travel Apps / → All Tags Just what we all needanother game to consume our lives and eat up even more time. Luckily this new addiction comes from the masters of airline social media, KLM, who've realized that travelers may want to do more than simply fly on their planes, but perhaps try a hand at running the entire airline. "Aviation Empire" is quite robust for a free game, ranging from choosing your own fleet and destinations to outfitting your own airport. The game will give any frequent flyer the opportunity to toy with the inner workings of the airline industry and, using social media as a launchpad, it will host a community of 'airline CEOs' trying to fly high in the competitive industry. Players can run their virtual airline, themed after the Royal Dutch fleet, on both iOS and Android mobile devices.

It actually flies! The Boeing 787 Dreamliner is a headline hog. You can read all about it and its drama (lately more than ever) throughout major media, but there's nothing better than actually stepping onboard with a ticket to ride. After more than a year of hanging out with the 787 on the tarmac, we finally flew the darned thing as South American airline LAN celebrated the inaugural flight of their new Los Angeles-to-Santiago, Chile 10-hour non-stop with the spiffy new bird. So, what actually happens onboard a 787 flight? Is it really so different from any other airplane? Having just stepped off of this, our first 787 flight, we can finally answer those questions: lots of stuff and yes. To describe a 10-hour flight is akin to boring neighbors with photo slides of a water park vacation. Instead, we're breaking it down into the hourly highlights ("the short of it") and, for those rapt with pleasure for every detail, the long of it, in first-person: Jaunted Reporting Live / Aviation / 787 / Airplanes / New Routes / Boeing / LATAM / Photo Gallery / Boeing 787 / LAN 787 / Boeing 787 Dreamliner / 787 Dreamliner / Dreamliner / LAN / South America Travel / LAX / Los Angeles Travel / SCL / Santiago Travel / → All Tags While this week hasn't exactly been all sunshine and rainbows for airlines flying their Boeing 787 Dreamliners around the world, last week sure was. On January 2, we stepped onboard aircraft CC-BBC, the gleaming new third 787 delivered to South American airline LAN for what would be a monumental inaugural flight, non-stop from Los Angeles-LAX to Santiago, Chile-SCL. Our ticket read seat 1L. As the first row, first window on the right, that's practically a cockpit jumpseat (though our legroom and recline would be better). This would be more than a first 787 flight from LAX; it would be our own, personal first 787 flight. To say we were psyched is a gross understatement. The energy and optimism rippled through the line of waiting passengers in all classes, holding all types of tickets, as a special party for the full flight began at the gate.

Seven-eight-seven or seven-eighty-seven? Though technically both are perfectly acceptable, the language may vary depending on the country to/from which you're flying the new airplane. And, since United is the only US operator of the airlines with Boeing 787 Dreamliners, the international names for the bird are more prevalent. Before we set off on last week's LAN inaugural flight from LAX-SCL on their newest Dreamliner, @PointstoPointB tweeted us to ask: "how do they call the plane in Spanish onboard? Siete Ocho Siete? Siete Ochenta y Siete? El Sueñoliner?" Well, dearest @PointstoPointB and future flyers of the LAN Dreamliner, we cleared up the issue firsthand with LAN's flight attendants. Their answer: Jaunted Reporting Live / Aviation / 787 / LAN 787 / Airplanes / New Routes / Boeing / Boeing 787 / Boeing 787 Dreamliner / 787 Dreamliner / Toilets / Dreamliner / LAN / Videos / Flight Reviews / → All Tags This is the future. There may be no personal jetpacks or hoverboards or even cheesecake in pill form, but at least we have advanced enough as a civilization to install self-closing toilet lids in airplane lavatories. Onboard the inaugural flight of the LAN 787 from LAX non-stop to Santiago, Chile earlier this week, we had 10 hours to explore the 787 in-flight, in both Economy and Premium Business class, and made the question of the lavatory a priority. Check back Tuesday for our full review and photo galleries of the flight, but let's resolve this important issue right here and now.

Its lengthy list of features reportedly includes custom cockpit systems and gauges, an animated pilot, an “immersive in-cockpit, physics-driven sound environment from A2A-engineered Spitfire recordings” and the developer’s Accu-Sim feature, which is touted as providing “an outstanding level of authenticity and accuracy in the aircraft systems and functionality.” The new P3Dv4 Spitfire is available in academic and professional versions and is also available as a bundle with the FSX version. Click here to learn more. A Grumman A-6E Intruder nose / cockpit section has hit the market. The section is described as an original Vietnam War A-6A Intruder that was converted to a KA-6D before being cut up for use in the 1991 movie Flight of the Intruder. The current owner reportedly acquired it from Hollywood with no interior and some missing panels, and spent the last 20 years collecting missing parts to restore it for display. It is now said to be “complete with all the interior items.” The cockpit has the correct GRU-7 pilot and BN ejection seats complete with seat kits, straps and parachute containers. The pilot’s side has all the instruments, throttle quadrant, VDI, Gunsight, control stick and rudder pedals, etc.. The Bombardier Navigator side is complete with a radar scope, radar control pedestal and all the console boxes that make up the weapons system. The BN side will also come with the radar scope big plastic cover to make it easier to see the radar. Sticking out the top of the nose is the correct inflight refueling probe. The boarding ladders fold out and can be used but they hit the ground. The canopy and windshield glass is good with no damage. It has the correct radome with no damage.The canopy can be opened and closed with a hand crank in the back of the cockpit. The section is reportedly located in a San Diego museum and is currently being offered for $24,999.95. Click here to check out the complete listing. AZ Model has announced the upcoming release of a new tool Bf 109K-4 “Kurfürst” in 1/72 scale. Details about the kit are scarce, although the company announced that it is being prepared for June. It appears that the offering will come with three marking options which are shown in the image below. [click to continue…] Glostor Meteor T7 “Queenie,” touted as the world’s oldest original flying jet, has reportedly completed all registration, inspection and final certification requirements following its arrival in the US, and is slated to return to the air. As previously reported, the aircraft (WA591/G-BWMF) was delivered to the RAF in 1949 and served as a training machine at a number of bases before becoming a gate guard at RAF Woodvale. In 1995 Meteor Flight began restoring the aircraft and it returned to the air at Kemble in 2011. In recent years it operated with Classic Air Force at Coventry, which closed down in 2016 following the retirement of its founder. Last year, it was acquired by Detroit, Michigan-based World Heritage Air Museum (WHAM). The museum has reported that the Meteor’s return to flight is expected to take place on June 18 out of Hampton Roads. Its debut at Oshkosh reportedly remains on schedule, and will appear along with the collection’s Vampire and Venom. (via World Heritage Air Museum and Ultimate Aviation Photo: By Paul Nelhams via Wikimedia Commons) A Bell UH-1H/205 Huey project described as “great for restoration” has hit the market. The offering (S/N 71-20220) is said to consist of the airframe only (cabin, skids, pilot seats and tail boom) and lacks an engine, transmission, rotor, data plate and maintenance records. The helicopter is currently located in Tampa, Florida and is being offered for $10,900. Click here to check out the complete listing. The Vintage Aviator, Ltd. (TVAL) has listed a vacancy for an engine overhaul technician. The New Zealand-based aircraft restoration and manufacturing company strives to build “WW1 aircraft, engines and propellers to the same exacting standards they were originally made over 90 years ago,” while also working to “look after, and operate, the WW1 aircraft owned by the 1914-1918 Aviation Heritage Trust.” The organization is seeking “a qualified engine reconditioner with preferably 3+ years post qualification experience.” Ideal candidates would possess experience with vintage and antique engines and welding. The listing states that the position may suit “a fitter/turner or someone familiar with machine shop tools and equipment.” For additional details, visit TVAL’s website. (Photo: Phillip Capper via Wikimedia Commons) Fantasy of Flight owner Kermit Weeks has released a new video detailing the first taxi run, final rigging and maiden flight of his new Sopwith Pup reproduction. As previously reported, the Le Rhone-powered aircraft was damaged during the test when the cowling became detached during a low pass approach. Thankfully, Weeks managed to land the machine and walk away unharmed. Click below to check out the new video. [click to continue…] After being grounded in 2016 for restoration, the Commemorative Air Force’s B-24 Liberator “Diamond Lil” is nearing its return to the air. The aircraft (AM927) was delivered to the British in May 1941 and transferred to Trans World Airlines (TWA) to conduct training of RAF pilots out of Albuquerque, New Mexico. A landing accident shortly thereafter resulted in the bomber being returned to Consolidated in San Diego. In July 1942, it returned to service as the C-87 Liberator Express prototype, acting as a personnel and equipment transport and test platform. Following the war it was modified with long RY-3 nose and PBY nacelles and saw further use as an executive and personnel transport. It was acquired by the CAF in 1968. The recent work was based on an ambitious plan to ensure continued flights well into the future. This initiative included an interior restoration and the overhaul of three engines – the last of which has just arrived at the CAF facility in Texas. It is hoped that “Diamond Lil” will return to the air by July to continue its role as the oldest flying B-24. Click below to check out a selection of recent photos. [click to continue…] On Sunday, the newly restored B-52G Stratofortress “Midnight Express” arrived at the Museum of Flight in Seattle. The Welcome Home ceremony saw the machine’s restored fuselage transported from Paine Field in Everett to Raisbeck Aviation High School, traveling down East Marginal Way South. As previously reported, the bomber (S/N 59-2584) had been parked outdoors at the museum’s Paine Field facility for the past 26 years. A $2.2 million effort was launched to restore the machine for use as the centerpiece of a new Vietnam Air War Memorial Park, which will pay tribute to the aircraft of the Vietnam War and honor the service members who flew and supported them. The fuselage was the largest and final piece of the restored aircraft to arrive the museum, where it will eventually be reassembled for display in the new park, which is set to open on November 11. Click below to check out photos and video of the event. [click to continue…] A 2/3 scale P-51 Mustang has hit the market. The aircraft reportedly consists of Sal/Falco type plans and construction, an LS-1 engine (said to be in “good condition”) and a 4-blade propeller with PSRU and ignition system custom built for the engine type. A digital com radio is also included. The machine is located in East Texas and is currently being offered for $23,000, although bids are also being accepted.

Seattle is “jet city,” the home of modern aviation in the United States. Here, in 1916, Bill Boeing founded the Pacific Aero Products Co. and began building seaplanes with local spruce wood. Today, over 100 years later, the Boeing Company remains a major part of Seattle’s economy and workforce. Visiting the Museum of Flight at Boeing Field in Seattle is one of the best ways to experience and appreciate our region’s long history of aviation. About 9 miles (15 km) south of downtown, the Museum of Flight features a massive hangar packed full of aircraft old and new. The place is so big that it even makes a modern 787 Dreamliner look small. As the largest independent non-profit air and space museum in the world, the Museum of Flight has something for everyone, and we think it’s one of the coolest tourist attractions in Seattle.

ODU Engineers Launch Experimental Payload, And Benny, From Wallops June 23, 2016 Old Dominion University engineering students are hitching a ride for their experiments on a NASA rocket as part of a program designed to expose student engineers nationwide to sub-space opportunities. And this year's sub-space flight features a "famous" passenger, making everything awesome. It's the second year in a row that Old Dominion student engineers have been selected to take part in RockSat-C, a national program led by the Colorado Space Grant Consortium that enables students to design and build sounding rocket payloads and launch them from the Wallops Flight Facility on the Eastern Shore. ODU is one of nine universities to take part in the 2016 event, held as part of NASA's Rocket Week. The Old Dominion payload, known as Monarch-Two, has as its mission demonstrating the technological feasibility of a smartphone as a control platform and transmission from a sounding rocket platform. The goal is to create a system that can record data and create a modulated signal for transmission through the radio, which can then be received and demodulated in a control station at Old Dominion. Monarch-Two was scheduled for liftoff June 23 aboard a NASA Terrier-Improved Orion sounding rocket. However, bad weather at Wallops delayed the scheduled 15-minute flight until Friday, June 24. Electrical engineering students Cian Branco and Connor Huffine are at the Mid-Atlantic Regional Spaceport on Wallops Island all week for the RockSat program launch. When the launch occurs, Jason Harris (electrical engineering) and Adam Horn (mechanical engineering) will man the control station in Kaufman Hall, receiving and demodulating the signal from Monarch-Two. "Supervising" the entire operation aboard Monarch-Two will be Benny, the space-obsessed character from "The Lego Movie." "Well, Benny was a late candidate selection, but after reading the profile on his Astronaut selection application, it was clear he was built for the job," said Branco, co-leader of the ODU project. "His enthusiasm for space is unparalleled and though a bit small in stature, he's got an affable joy that's hard to beat. Plus, he brought his own spacesuit, so that saved us valuable time and resources." In terms of the project, "we will be taking data from a prototype solar cell provided by Rochester, as well as the information from a number of on-board sensors, packetizing the data with a Samsung Galaxy S3 and broadcasting it a straight-line 170-kilometer distance from space above Wallops back to ODU," Branco said. The ultimate goal is to create a system that can collect and instantly transmit flight data, including acceleration, gyroscopic movement and the pull of magnetic fields. A final report from the flight and experiments will be submitted to event organizers later this summer. Dimitrie Popescu, associate professor of electrical and computer engineering, is the lead faculty adviser for the project, assisted by Robert Ash, professor of aerospace engineering; Christopher Bailey, assistant professor of electrical and computer engineering, and Onur Bilgen, assistant professor of mechanical engineering. The project has also received technical and financial support from the Virginia Space Grant Consortium. The Colorado Space Grant Consortium began working on rocket payloads in 2005 with RocketSat I, which was launched out of White Sands Missile Range on Sept. 25, 2006. Two other missions, RocketSat's II and III, furthered Colorado's knowledge in the area of sub-orbital rocket payloads and paved the way for the first RockOn workshop, which took place in June 2008. RockOn is an intense workshop developed by the Colorado Space Grant Consortium. RockOn guides faculty and students from across the United States through the construction of a rocket payload, which is launched on the fifth day.

The Saturn V rocket carrying astronauts Neil Armstrong, Edwin “Buzz” Aldrin and Michael Collins launched from the Kennedy Space Center in Florida at 9:32 a.m. on July 16, 1969 — and just four days later, man first set foot on the moon. The moon mission was a milestone in human history. But it was also a groundbreaking moment in broadcast television, as CBS News anchor Walter Cronkite brought the frontier of space to living rooms across America.

Dark Days for Spirit Spirit’s solar panels are receiving limited sunshine due to a regional dust storm on Mars. Dust storms are common on the red planet. NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope snapped this picture of a storm near the middle of Mars on October 28, 2005. This storm was about 930 miles long when measured diagonally. Credit: NASA, ESA, The Hubble Heritage Team (STScI/AURA), J. Bell (Cornell University) and M. Wolff (Space Science Institute) The amount of electricity generated by the solar panels on the Mars rover Spirit has been declining for the past several Martian days, or sols, as a regional dust storm moved southward and blocked some of the sunshine at Spirit’s location. The team operating the rover has responsively trimmed Spirit’s daily activities and is keeping an eye on weather reports from observations by NASA’s Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter. Spirit’s solar panels generated 392 watt-hours during the mission’s Sol 2006 (Aug. 24, 2009), down from 744 watt-hours five sols earlier, but still generous compared with the 240 watt-hours per sol that was typical before a series of panel-cleaning events about four months ago. "We expect that power will improve again as this storm passes, but we will continue to watch this vigilantly," said JPL’s John Callas, project manager for Spirit and its twin, Opportunity. "Spirit remains power positive with healthy energy margins and charged batteries. The weather prediction from the Mars Color Imager team is that the storm is abating, but skies will remain dusty over Spirit for the next few sols." Recent images from the Mars Color Imager camera on Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter showed this regional storm becoming less extensive Monday even as it shifted southward so that its southern edge covered the Gusev Crater area where Spirit is working. Malin Space Science Systems in San Diego, which operates that camera, provides frequent weather updates to the rover team. Weekly reports are posted at http://www.msss.com/msss_images/latest_weather.html. Meanwhile, in JPL’s In-Situ Instrument Laboratory, the rover team is continuing testing of strategies for getting Spirit out of a patch of soft soil where it is embedded on Mars. On Sol 2005 (Aug. 23, 2009) Spirit used its panoramic camera to examine the nature of how soil at the site has stuck to the rover’s middle wheels. The team has also used Spirit’s rock abrasion tool as a penetrometer to measure physical properties of the soil around Spirit by pressing into the soil with three different levels of force. The team is aiming to start sending drive commands to Spirit in September. With careful planning, Spirit may continue its search for signs of past environments on Mars that may have been habitable for life. This full-circle view from the panoramic camera (Pancam) on NASA’s Mars Exploration Rover Spirit shows the terrain surrounding the location called "Troy," where Spirit became embedded in soft soil during the spring of 2009. Credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech/Cornell University A second, lighter-weight test rover has entered the testing setup at JPL where rover team members are assessing strategy for getting Spirit out of the soft soil. This test rover does not carry a science payload or robotic arm, as do Spirit and Opportunity on Mars, and the primary engineering test rover at JPL. While the primary test rover’s weight on Earth is greater than Spirit’s weight on Mars, the second rover is even lighter on Earth and closer to the weight of Spirit on Mars. Making comparisons between motions of the two test rovers in duplicated drives will aid the rover team in interpreting effects of differing gravity on rover mobility. The testing team plans to run such comparisons both in the soft, fluffy material being used to simulate the soil at Spirit’s current location and also on coarser, crushed rock that offers better traction. Testing at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in August 2009 is assessing possible maneuvers that the Mars rover Spirit might use for escaping from a patch of soft soil where it is embedded at a Martian site called "Troy." Credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech/Cornell University "There is no perfect Earth analog for Spirit’s current situation," said JPL’s John Callas, project manager for the twin Mars Exploration Rovers. "There’s less gravity on Mars, little atmosphere, and no moisture in the soil where Spirit is. It is not anything like being stuck in sand or snow or mud on Earth. Plus, since the rover moves only about as fast as a tortoise, you cannot use momentum to help. No rocking back and forth as you might do on Earth." The comparison experiments with the two test-rover siblings to Spirit and Opportunity precede a planned "dress rehearsal" long-duration test of driving as far in the test setup as the distance that Spirit would need to achieve on Mars to escape its predicament at the site called "Troy." The team has also made further assessments of the position of a rock underneath Spirit relative to the rover’s center of gravity. Part of the strategy for getting Spirit free will be to avoid getting in a position with the center of gravity directly over a rock touching the rover.

The asteroid 2014 HQ124,aka “The Beast” is expected to flyby Earth tonight at about 1:56 am at a rate of up to 31,000 mph (17 times faster than a shot from a high-speed rifle). Estimated to be around 1,100 feet in diameter, the mammoth rock was first spotted by the Jet propulsion Lab in Pasadena, CA on April 23. However, there is no need to fear, since it will not come any closer to us than a distance of more than “3 times the distance between the Earth and the moon (about 716,565 miles),” according to NASA scientists. Still, astronomer Bob Berman, of the online Slooh community observatory, said it is "disconcerting" that an asteroid this large flying so close to the planet was only spotted less than two months before its nearest approach to Earth.” He also noted that HQ124 is “at least 10 times bigger, and possibly 20 times, than the asteroid that injured a thousand people last year in Chelyabinsk, Siberia. "If it were impact us, the energy released would be measured not in kilotons like the atomic bombs that ended World War II, but in H-bomb type megatons."

Time is money and sometimes you just need to get to your destination as fast as possible. I am an advocate for efficiency and in an unending quest for work-life balance, I often find myself debating…1) more expensive ticket but direct flight or 2) cheaper multiple-leg journey? MY INTRODUCTION INTO ULTRA LONG-HAUL FLIGHTS Ten years ago, I flew 8,339 miles in economy from Los Angeles to Dubai on Emirates Airlines. I think the pure excitement of the trip removed a bit of sting from sitting in an economy seat for, approximately, 16 hours. Don’t get me wrong, I enjoyed Dubai and had an amazing flight experience but I’m not sure if I would do it again (particularly if I have a stash of points and can make my experience a bit more comfortable). 😉 More recently, I helped a friend book a business class award flight for the long and direct flight from Atlanta to Johannesburg. I thought it would be fun to compare the length of my Dubai flight, the length of his Johannesburg flight, & the length of the longest flights in the world. THE 5 LONGEST FLIGHTS Currently, there is a strong demand for direct flights from business hubs and airline manufacturers have focused on making airplanes more fuel efficient to meet that demand. In addition, fuel costs have been low. This equation makes for a great time to launch ultra long-haul flights and you are able to see the result of latest airline technology in the Boeing 787s & Airbus A350s that typically fly these routes. I have ranked the flights in order of total miles flown since airlines typically pad flight schedules with extra time to prevent delays and wind direction can affect the duration of the flight. I have included the type of aircraft for you avgeeks like me 🙂 - Newark to Singapore / Singapore / 9,534 miles / Airbus A350-900ULR - Auckland to Doha / Qatar / 9,032 miles / Boeing 777-200LR - Perth to London / Qantas / 9,009 / Boeing 787-9 - Auckland to Dubai / Emirates / 8,823 miles / Airbus A380 - Los Angeles to Singapore / Singapore / 8,770 miles / Airbus A350-900LR Those are some wicked long flights! But where does my Dubai flight rank? Let’s look at the next Top 5 Longest Flights… - Houston to Sydney / United / 8,596 miles / Boeing 787-9 - Dallas to Sydney / Qantas / 8,577 miles / Airbus A380 - New York to Manila / Philippine Airlines / 8,520 miles / Airbus A350-900 - San Francisco to Singapore / United and Singapore / 8,446 miles / Boeing 787-9 and Airbus A350-900 - Johannesburg to Atlanta / Delta / 8,439 miles / Boeing 777-200LR As you can see, my friends flight (ATL-JNB) ranks in the TOP 10. I eventually found my Dubai flight and it ranks as #12. 11) Abu Dhabi to Los Angeles / Etihad / 8,390 miles / Boeing 777-300ER 12) Dubai to Los Angeles / Emirates / 8,339 miles / Airbus A380 All of the flights above are blocked between 16 and 18.5 hours. Interestingly, there are additional non-stop, long-haul flights scheduled to the market this year that will including: - Brisbane to Chicago / Qantas / 8,902 miles / Boeing 787-9 04/15/20 - Auckland to Newark / Air New Zealand / 8,810 miles / Boeing 787-9 10/29/20 They will begin service on 15 April and 29 October respectively. When I think we may have reached the precipice, airlines continue to surprise me. But would you be interested in flying for 22+ hours on a plane? As an avgeek, I’m always excited to experience new planes and technology and it’s impressive to see how the airline manufacturers continue to increase the distance flown. However, I have to wonder where it’s going to end? Even if it is the fastest route between business hubs, is there demand to sustain the route? For example, Singapore Airlines has a custom configuration for that #1 longest flight. The airline installed two classes; Business and Economy class. However, all “regular” economy seats are actually premium economy seats because 18 hours in a regular economy seat could be dreadful. There is one thing that I know…sitting in economy for ~18 straight hours wouldn’t be my first choice. I would probably break up the flights rather than fly non-stop. But again, time is money! Has anyone experienced one of the longest flights or planning on taking one? What is the longest flight you have taken? As someone who enjoys travel, it’s easy to overlook just how many hours I spent on a plane to get from point A to point B. For example, a flight from JFK in New York to Anchorage, Alaska requires about 13 to 14 hours of time in the air total. Can’t say that seeing different places isn’t fun, though! That’s quite a trip and I agree, seeing different places is A LOT of fun. 🙂

The Model 1 Aircar was an unconventional side-by-side two-seat cabin biplane with a tricycle undercarriage and incorporated many parts from a 1935 Oldsmobile. The fuselage was an all-metal monocoque structure which included the vertical fin, fitted with a trim tab (but no rudder) for directional control. A large door on either side with an exterior step allowed for easy access to the cabin. The symmetrical wings, braced by 'N' struts on each side, were of NACA 4418 aerofoil and were built up of spruce spars with aluminum ribs. The leading edges were covered with dural metal sheet, the remainder was fabric covered. Construction took 21 months, from September 15, 1935, to June 11, 1937, and was undertaken by Stanley Dybowski, a tool and metal worker. First displayed at the National Air Races held at Cleveland in September 1937 by Richard K. Bennett, the Aircar was powered by a 90 hp Pobjoy Niagara II seven-cylinder air-cooled radial engine driving a large, four-bladed Fahlin wooden propeller, which was later replaced by a two-bladed propeller. Envisioned as an 'everyman's airplane', the Aircar was a two-control aircraft with an automobile-type steering wheel used for turns in the air and for steering the nosewheel on the ground. A floor-mounted accelerator pedal acted as a throttle on the ground and a dash-mounted throttle was used in the air. Two other floor-mounted pedals operated the air brakes (wing flaps) and the main wheel brakes. The elevators only had a total movement of 8.5° and to takeoff, the aircraft was driven along the ground until sufficient speed was reached (around 55 mph, 89 kmh) then the foot pedal-operated flaps were selected and an instantaneous zoom climb made. To land, a level approach was made with flaps selected and when power was reduced, the Aircar settled into a glide and even touchdown. Gwinn claimed that this rudderless design was safe for everyone and would not stall or spin. The aircraft's potential was recognized by well-known racing pilot Frank M. Hawks who became vice-president and sales manager for Gwinn. Nancy H. Love, another well-known pilot with Inter City Airlines, Boston, Massachusetts, received a rating of competency in the Aircar in April 1938 and also gave demonstrations. A second Aircar, the Model 2 (X16921 c/n 502) with a 130 hp Pobjoy Niagara V-7 engine was built and flown in 1938. Engine problems led to the temporary installation of an 85 hp Niagara and on August 23, 1938, Hawks flew the second Aircar to the estate of Edmund Rogers at East Aurora, New York, to meet with a group of potential investors. J. Hazard Campbell took a demonstration flight with Hawks, but after takeoff from a polo field the Aircar hit power lines and crashed, killing the occupants. That same day, a certificate of airworthiness for the Aircar was denied (ATC 682 had been pending) and Gwinn, affected by the tragedy, suspended all plans for production. The first Aircar was sold to Dybowski in June 1942, but reverted to Gwinn in February 1945. Fitted with an 88 hp Niagara III engine, the Aircar was rebuilt by May and relicensed (NC1271) as a single-seater for evaluation flights by the Stout Research Division of Convair. Flights from Stinson Field, Michigan, were made by Donald R. Suchner. Reports indicate that the Aircar was subsequently taken to San Diego and later donated to a school. Although not a Consolidated design, the basic arrangement was adopted for two experimental 'real' aircars, both monoplanes, the Convair Model 103 and 111. The following data relate to the Model 1 Aircar. Span: 24 ft 0 in (7.32 m) Length: 16 ft 3 in (4.95 m) Height: 6 ft 10 in (2.08 m) Wing area: 169.4 sq.ft (15.74 sq.m) Empty weight: 1,099 lb (498 kg) Loaded weight: 1,532 lb (695 kg) Max speed: 118 mph (190 kmh) Cruise speed: 103 mph (166 kmh) Climb: 450 ft (137 m)/min Service ceiling: 10,000 ft (3,048 m) Range: 495 mls (797 km)."

Aircraft track roller bearings Track roller bearings fundamentally take two forms. The cam follower allows for blind hole mounting if required and saves space as it has its own integral shaft or stud. The Yoke roller is designed for applications where support both sides of the bearing is required. Track roller bearings are simply bearings, which have a suitable external outside rolling rings designed to run along profiles or cams. These bearings allow a piece of aircraft structure to follow a very accurate, carefully controlled path when being deployed or retracted. A typical track roller example can be found in a slat or flap carriage assembly. There are normally one or more carriages, which are attached to each flap or slat section. Track roller bearings are fundamentally needle roller bearings with a substantial outer ring designed to provide safe transmission of forces through the needle roller elements to the airframe. Typically in their use as slat or track carriage bearings these forces are aerodynamic ones that can amount to appreciable loads. Other uses for track roller bearings on an aircraft include door guidance support rollers and undercarriage component guidance rollers. Track roller bearings used on wing applications are often subjected to dirt and anti-icing fluids that if not properly designed, will lead to premature failure. In an effort to combat this special materials are can be chosen the inner and outer rings along with robust sealing mechanisms. Typical sources for track roller bearings include McGill (part of the Emerson Group), Torrington/RBC and Accurate Bushing (Smith Group). All these companies supply track roller bearings to major build aerospace contractors such as Boeing and Airbus. Contact us now and let us show you exactly what we can do for you.

- Thursday 21 January; 15:30: ELEC Seminar by Gaia Cavallo During the life cycle of a subsystem for a space application, for example a deep space transponder, there is a need to power up the different models of the subsystem, from prototype to flight model, and its assemblies for testing. Human error, failing power supplies or degraded components can damage or even destroy the device under test. To prevent damage, a so called second level protection on the power supply lines is a common practice. The electronic fuse “eFuse” concept shall be based on the use of specific low cost industrial integrated circuits to implement, document and test a very simple but reliable and fast electronic fuse. The purpose is ground test setups (EGSE / suitcase / clean lab). Antwerp Space NV

McDonnell Douglas MD-10 |Propulsion||Trijet (Jet aircraft, Three-engine aircraft)| The McDonnell Douglas MD-10 is retrofit cockpit upgrade to the DC-10 and a re-designation to MD-10. The upgrade included an Advanced Common Flightdeck (ACF) used on the MD-11 and was launched in 1996. The new cockpit eliminated the need for the flight engineer position and allowed common type rating with the MD-11. This allows companies such as FedEx Express, which operate both the MD-10 and MD-11, to have a common pilot pool for both aircraft. The MD-10 conversion now falls under the Boeing Converted Freighter program where Boeing's international affiliate companies perform the conversions. The McDonnell Douglas DC-10 is a three-engine wide-body jet airliner manufactured by McDonnell Douglas. The DC-10 has range for medium- to long-haul flights, capable of carrying a maximum of 380 passengers. Its most distinguishing feature is the two turbofan engines mounted on underwing pylons and a third engine at the base of the vertical stabilizer. The model was a successor to McDonnell Douglas's DC-8 for long-range operations, and competed in the same markets as the Lockheed L-1011 TriStar, which has a similar layout. In its early years the DC-10 had a poor safety record; however, this has greatly improved over time. Production of the DC-10 ended in 1989 with 386 delivered to airlines and 60 to the U.S. Air Force as air-to-air refueling tankers, designated KC-10 Extender. The largest operator of the DC-10 is U.S. cargo airline FedEx Express. The DC-10 was succeeded by the related McDonnell Douglas MD-11. Boeing, which merged with McDonnell Douglas in 1997, conducted an upgrade program that equipped many in-service DC-10s with a glass cockpit that eliminated the flight engineer position; the upgraded aircraft were re-designated as MD-10s. The DC-10's last commercial passenger flight took place in February 2014, although freighter versions continue to operate. Despite the airliner's popularity, only a few DC-10s are on display, while other retired aircraft are in storage. DC-10s are also used for specialist services, such as the Orbis International Flying Eye Hospital, which has a compartment for performing eye surgery. This aircraft contains updated versions of the MD-10, in one package. The aircraft will be updated here from now on. Good 3D Cockpit with overhead, throttle quadrant, autopilot panel, and more. Decent 3D Model. This MD-10 model features 4 variants: > MD-10 (Passenger Version) > MD-10F (Freight Version) > KC-10M (Aerial Tanker) > MD-10ERX (Experimental version of the DC-10, with engines from MD-11, and updated airframe.)

Georgian Air Force The Georgian Air Force (Georgian: საქართველოს საჰაერო ძალები, sak’art’velos sahaero dzalebi) is the air force of the Defense Forces of Georgia. It was established as part of the Georgian Armed Forces in 1992 and dissolved in 2010, when it was incorporated into the Georgian Land Forces. As of September 2009, the Georgian Air Force had 2,971 military and civilian personnel. As part of reforms in the Georgian military, the Air Force was reestablished as a separate branch of the Defense Forces in 2016. |Georgian Air Force| |Georgian: საქართველოს საჰაერო ძალები| |Size||2,971 personnel, 59 aircraft (2009)| |Engagements||Georgian Civil War, Russo-Georgian War| The Georgian Air Force and Air Defense Division was established on January 1, 1992. On August 18, 1998, the two divisions were unified in a joint command structure and renamed the Georgian Air Force. The first combat flight was conducted by Izani Tsertsvadze and Valeri Nakopia on September 19, 1992, during the separatist war in Abkhazia. This date was later designated as the Georgian Air Force Day. Relative to the Georgian ground forces, the air force was comparatively underfunded following Georgian independence. During the August 2008 war with Russia, The Georgian Ministry of Defense reported 5 air force personnel were killed in action. In 2010, the Georgian Air Force was reorganized. It was abolished as a separate branch and incorporated into the Georgian Land Forces as Air and Air Defense brigades. Reestablishment and modernisationEdit This section does not cite any sources. (November 2016) (Learn how and when to remove this template message) In 2012 the Georgian military, with government approval, decided to reestablish the air force as its own separate arm. It will undergo a massive transformation and modernisation process, getting rid of almost its entire Soviet helicopter inventory and replace it with US and French aircraft. It was also announced by the ministry of defense that six Su-25 aircraft would be sold at an unknown date to add to the finances. As a result of the 2014 Wales summit, Georgia was granted a NATO military assistance package which includes support in acquiring military equipment from alliance members and partners, practically lifting the unofficial arms ban on Georgia. In 2016, the Air Force was reestablished as one of the four branches of the Defense Forces. |Georgian armed forces||O-1||O-2||O-3||O-4||O-5||O-6||O-7||O-8||O-9||O-10||0-11| |Title||Second lieutenant||Lieutenant||First lieutenant||Captain||Major||Lieutenant colonel||Colonel||Brigadier general||Major general||Lieutenant general||General| Mission and objectivesEdit The objectives of the Georgian Air Force are defined as follows: - Warfare and mobilization readiness of the Air Forces sub-units - Protection of sovereignty and control of the air space of Georgia - The fight against air terrorism - Participate in the fight against terrorism on land and at sea - Air defence of state entities and troops - Destruction of land and naval targets at the enemy's front line and tactical inmost.

American technology satellite. One launch, 2007.03.09. The aim of the UN Naval Academy's Midshipman Space Technology Applications Research (MidSTAR) Program was to develop a general-purpose satellite bus capable of supporting a variety of space missions by easily accommodating a wide range of space experiments and instruments. The integration of the experiments with the satellite bus could be accomplished with minimal changes to the satellite bus design. MidSTAR was intended to be a relatively low-cost, quick response platform accommodating small payloads approved by the Department of Defense (DoD) Space Experiments Review Board (SERB) and launched through the DoD Space Test Program (STP). MidSTAR satellites were of two types. MidSTAR mod 1 was designed for use on the Expendable Secondary Payload Adaptor (ESPA) Ring developed by Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) for placement on Delta IV or Atlas V expendable launch vehicles. MidSTAR mod 2 was to have been designed for deployment from the Space Shuttle via the Canister All Payload Ejection (CAPE) system developed by AFRL. The baseline MidSTAR mission included a single spacecraft under the command and control of a single satellite ground station located at the Naval Academy in Annapolis, Maryland. The ground station forwarded downlinked data files to the Principal Investigators via the Internet. Secondary ground control was available through Naval Postgraduate School in Monterey California.

While the Western media denounces the Russian provocations on the border with the Donbass and Kiev invokes the help of NATO to save Europe from the expansionist aims of the Kremlin. Russian Federation President Putin welcomes the launch of the cruise missile Zircon, which took place successfully at the crack of dawn on December 24th. "Tonight, more precisely in the early morning, a salvo of hypersonic Zircon missiles [...] was successfully launched", announced the Russian president, during a Council for science and education. "This is a great event in the life of the country and an important step in strengthening Russia's security and defense capabilities"he added, before instructing his Minister of Industry, Denis Manturov, to congratulate the military who took part in the launch. The hypersonic cruise missile Zircon (in NATO code SS-N-33) is one of the "invisible" weapons that Putin presented in March 2018. Intended to arm the coastal batteries, the frigates belonging to the class Admiral Gorchkov and nuclear attack submarines (SNA) of the type Yasen, the Zircon started trial testing in 2020. According to the available details, the missile would be able to reach the maximum speed of Mach 9, at a maximum altitude between 30 and 40 km. Its maximum range would be around 1.000 km, with a conventional 400 kg warhead. In recent weeks, the Russian Navy has stepped up testing with the new missile. The previous launch, before the one mentioned by Putin, took place last December 16 in the White Sea, against a target located in the Arkhangelsk region. The announcement of the head of the Kremlin comes as the United States has revealed many difficulties in the development of their hypersonic weapons. As reported by the site The War Zone, the AGM-183A ARRW (Air-Launched Rapid Response Weapon) hypersonic missile recently reported its third failure, in as many launch attempts.

An ageing garden ornament There have been many great technological advancements signalling a change in mankind’s imagination and direction. The internet revolutionised the shopping industry allowing anyone with a computer to open a shop. The invention of the light bulb initiated the introduction of mass electrical connectivity, enabling a whole host of new electrical devices in the home. With air travel a global mainstream, the introduction of SST’s (supersonic transport aircraft) was hoped to be a similar catalyst. It all began back in the 1960’s, during the peak of the Cold War. The British and French had announced the development of a delta-winged aircraft intended to travel over 1,200mph codenamed Concorde. In an act of retaliation, similar to that seen between the US and Russia to reach the moon, the Soviets took it as a matter of national pride that the USSR should make one as well. The Tu-144 was developed in secret by the Tupolev design bureau, and took its first flight on December 31st, 1968, two months before the Anglo-French jet. Designs for both aircraft looked remarkably similar, with a set of pop-out canard wings on the nose defining the TU-144. Some espionage theory’s suggested the Anglo/French Concorde team knew the Soviets intended to steal the plans, and therefore put into circulation a set of dummy blueprints with deliberate design flaws. There would seem to be some proof the Tu-144 had some significant design flaws, with a prototype famously crashing at the 1973 Paris Air Show, delaying further development. Major funding and technical setbacks allowed the Concorde to make its first commercial flight over a year before the Tu-144. Another prototype aircraft crashed during development, forcing the Tupolev design bureau to consign the aircraft for freight use only. Including the early 55 passenger flights, there were 102 scheduled flights before the cessation of commercial service. In total, 16 aircraft were produced throughout the project. Most of the fleet was dissembled after the fall of the communist regime and sold for scrap. However, one example survived in pristine condition, and currently resides in Kazan, the capital city of the Tatarstan federation of Russia. Squeezed between some old military buildings, it stands as a reminder of the enormous effort garnered by the Cold War. It never achieved major success, and the same could be said of Concorde. Despite a long commercial career, it too now lives in museums around the world, standing as the last supersonic airliner ever to service the public. What should have been a revolution proved a dead-end, and it could be some time until we see truly fast air travel.

Recently, satellite broadband communication services using Ka-band are emerging all over the world, some of them with capacities in excess of 100 Gbps. However, as the radio bandwidth resources become exhausted, high-speed optical communication can be used instead to achieve ultra-broadband communications. The National Institute of Information and Communications Technology (NICT) in Japan has more than 20 years of experience in R&D of space laser communications, with important milestones like ETS-VI (Engineering Test Satellite VI), OICETS, and SOTA. We are currently developing a laser-communication terminal called “HICALI”, which goal is to achieve 10 Gbps-class space communications in the 1.5-μm band between Optical Ground Stations (OGSs) and a next generation high-throughput satellite (called ETS-IX) with a hybrid communication system using radio and optical frequencies, which will be launched into a geostationary orbit in 2021. The development of test and a breadboard model for HICALI has been conducted for several years and we are now carrying out an engineering model as well as designing the OGSs segment. In this paper, we describe concepts and current design status of the HICALI system.

February 10 marked a major milestone for Voyager Space and Altius Space Machines: not only was this our first successful launch of 2022, but it also marks over 300 DogTags™ having launched into space! An Arianespace Syouz rocket lifted off from French Guiana, carrying 34 OneWeb satellites, all equipped with Altius DogTags to support future end-of-life operations and mitigate future space debris as part of OneWeb’s Responsible Space program. Altius’ DogTag grapple fixture is a commercially available universal grappling point for satellites which supports a variety of grappling approaches, including mechanical, magnetic and electrostatic. We’re especially proud of the DogTags’ ability to help mitigate the growing space debris problem by making it easier to de-orbit non-functioning satellites. DogTags can also be used to tug functional satellites to new orbits and act as anchor points for satellite servicing. Across Voyager, we are proud to work with companies like OneWeb who are actively committed to leaving no trace in space and continue to advocate for space environmental stewardship to aid in orbital debris management. While there are many benefits to space being so accessible today,we also recognize the significant responsibility in keeping activity in space open, safe, and sustainable. We’re looking forward to a continuing our focus on space sustainability and debris mitigation.

The June crash which took the life of Blue Angels pilot Capt. Jeff Kuss was the result of pilot error, according to a report released this week by U.S. Navy officials. The crash in Smyrna, Tenn. led to a month-long stand-down for the Blue Angels, the Navy’s flight demonstration squadron. The team resumed its performance schedule on July 2 in Traverse City, Mich. A three-month investigation by Navy officials found that Kuss was flying too fast and too low when he lost control of the aircraft. Weather and fatigue also contributed to the crash, the report said. Kuss, a married father of two, joined the Blue Angels in September 2014 and at the time of his death had accumulated more than 1,400 flight hours and 175 carrier-arrested landings. “During the execution of a ‘Split S’ maneuver, Captain Kuss deviated from approved procedures which, compounded by several tactical errors and loss of situational awareness created a rate of descent during that maneuver that could not be arrested and resulted in ground impact,” wrote Vice Adm. Mike Shoemaker, Commander of U.S. Naval Air Forces Pacific. Several indicators suggested Kuss was fatigued, the report said, including his failure to sign his “A sheet” and turn on his responder before the flight, both of which were out-of-character. Low clouds near the team’s flight path may also have contributed to Kuss’ decision to initiative the maneuver below the normal altitude, investigators said. The report’s findings could lead to changes for the Blue Angels team and flight demonstrations. Effective immediately, Shoemaker has directed the “Split S” maneuver no longer be performed by the team until further notice, and that a higher-altitude safety buffer be adopted for all remaining performances this season. Shoemaker also directed changes to radio communications and recovery procedures.

BHUBANESWAR (GDC) — Amid a protracted stand-off along the LAC, the Indian Air Force (IAF) has accomplished a secret mission by conducting several rounds of MICA air-to-air missiles that have recently been acquired from France off Odisha coast learned GDC citing the Indian Express. Defence sources said anti-air multi-target MICA missile fired from Sukhoi-30 MKI for the first time successfully destroyed expendable aerial targets (EATs), demonstrating its capabilities. Ahead of the planned integration with multi-role combat aircraft Rafale, the IAF test fired two rounds of Beyond Visual Range (BVR) MICA air-to-air missile on Monday and Tuesday. The tests are the clear indication that the Indian Air Force has learnt a lesson in Kashmir Skirmish and decided not to use Russian-made R-77 missiles although the IAF possesses a stockpile of R-77/R-73 missiles. The fighter aircraft took off from Kalaikunda airbase in West Bengal and fired the missile, successfully neutralising the aerial target drone mimicking enemy aircraft at low altitude. “All mission parameters have been met as the target was destroyed validating the missile’s launch envelope. The missile will equip both Sukhoi and Rafale fighter jets,” according to India Express. Acquired from France, MICA is an all weather missile system available in both short and medium ranges. The fire-and-forget missile can be used both by air platforms as well as ground units and ships. The 3.1 metre long missile having a diameter of 0.16 m weighs around 112 kg. It can neutralise targets within a range of 500 metre to 60 km. Of its two variants guided by radio frequency (RF) and infrared (IR), MICA-RF has an active radar homing seeker and MICA-IR has an imaging infra-red homing seeker. Both seekers are designed to filter out counter-measures. The mission was conducted by the IAF while the DRDO provided the logistic support. After the successful trial of Dhruvastra last month, the twin missions during the Covid-19 pandemic proved the readiness of the test range. “The IAF is in the process of upgrading its squadrons. It is also in process of procuring Meteor missile from the European weapon maker MBDA. Rafale will be equipped with MICA and Meteor,” the official added. © 2020, GDC. © GDC and www.globaldefensecorp.com.

Unsteady flow fields, from hover to windmill brake state, of a model helicopter rotor are studied by direct numerical simulations of the three-dimensional, compressible Euler equations. "Vortex ring state" is captured for the case of a descent velocity close to the average downward velocity in hover, and the existence of a vortex ring in this state is confirmed. The aerodynamic characteristics are in good qualitative agreements with experiments. "Autorotation" is also captured for a low collective pitch angle and a large descent velocity. |Publication status||Published - 1997 Jan 1| |Event||28th Fluid Dynamics Conference, 1997 - Snowmass Village, United States| Duration: 1997 Jun 29 → 1997 Jul 2 |Other||28th Fluid Dynamics Conference, 1997| |Period||97/6/29 → 97/7/2| ASJC Scopus subject areas

The high-profile Airbus role at Singapore’s Changi Exhibition Centre underscored the company’s strong presence in the Asia-Pacific region, which accounts for an important part of its commercial business and represents an increasingly active industrial base. In signing the A330 Passenger-to-Freighter (P2F) conversion memorandum of understanding, Airbus is positioned to further expand its freighter aircraft portfolio. With a teaming that involves Singapore’s ST Aerospace and Airbus’ EADS EFW sister company, this programme will modify A330s that have completed their useful operational service as passenger jetliners for new careers as cargo aircraft. Airbus President and Chief Executive Officer Tom Enders said ST Aerospace’s involvement in the A330P2F project reflects the growing industrial importance of Asia-Pacific companies for Airbus. “Our business is not moving east…it has moved east,” he explained. “The Asia-Pacific region is not just important for us in terms of sales, it also offers significant opportunities for industrial partnerships as we seek ways to meet increased demand for our products and to supplement industrial and engineering capacity in Europe.” In another Singapore Airshow-related development, Airbus signed a contract with Singapore’s SIA Engineering Company for implementation of the Airbus Managed Inventory (AMI) solution. As a result, the SIA Engineering Company becomes Asia-Pacific’s inaugural customer for AMI, which is part of Airbus’ strategy to further expand its services offer. Also during the week, was an agreement with Thai Airways International for an Airbus flight hour services-tailored support package, providing aircraft inventory and maintenance for the Thailand-based airline’s A380 fleet. Thai Airways International is one of two Asia-Pacific carriers that will receive their first A380s in 2012, along with Malaysia Airlines. Completing Airbus’ business activity at the 2012 Singapore Airshow was the finalising of a purchase order with Kuwait-based ALAFCO for 35 A320neo Family aircraft, bringing this aviation lease and finance company’s total backlog for the type to 85.

The 54th International Paris Air Show is about to take off and the anticipation, enthusiasm and overall excitement couldn’t be at a higher pitch. It’s been four years since the last air show, the largest of its kind on the planet, so there’s much catching up to do. It’s here where the aerospace innovators of the world proudly display the latest in electric aircraft, electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) vehicles, air taxis, supersonic aircraft, next-generation fighter jets and new ventures in space tourism and exploration along with a host of other mind-blowing and futuristic technologies. But this show is not just for the global leaders. Equally important are the numerous startups and small- to medium-sized businesses (SMBs) who come to show their latest breakthroughs, who support the industry and help move progress forward. Aerospace SMBs have their own contributions and innovations to share as well. Whether a global OEM, a government agency, a manufacturer, or supply chain partner. Whether you’re a Fortune 500 company, an established business or an out-of-the-box startup – there’s one thing we can all agree on: rising levels of complexity and uncertainty in our industry. Tap into the proven success of the Siemens and AWS partnership One of the best ways to innovate and embrace complexity is to transform operations to a digitalized work environment. And a major component to any digital transformation is moving to the cloud. This is where the Siemens and AWS partnership comes into sharp focus. It’s one of the easiest ways for aerospace companies to digitally transform operations. Imagine what the proven collaboration between a global technology leader and the leading cloud services provider could do for you? Siemens Xcelerator and SaaS offerings Your digital transformation begins with the Siemens Xcelerator open digital business platform. With our strategic partnership with AWS, we offer exclusive cloud-based products and services that remove perplexing barriers associated with design, build, manufacturing and sustainability. When you move to AWS Cloud, you have the option of the AWS GovCloud, an enabler for customers concerned with USG compliance (both commercial and defense). A recognized aerospace partner A good example of the cohesiveness of our partnership is the fact the Siemens recently received the “Aerospace and Satellite Partner of the Year” award at the 2022 AWS re:Invent in Las Vegas. This award recognizes the top partner with government competency who has delivered innovative mission-based wins for state and/or local governments. Serving the entire aerospace community Our partnership helps established, multi-national organizations as well as small, nimble startups address complexity head-on. In fact, Siemens has developed an exclusive startup package that’s an easy and low-cost approach for aerospace companies looking for the competitive edge. It’s no surprise that AWS is the primary sponsor for Siemens at this year’s Paris Air Show. Startup company Space Perspective – a perfect example A Siemens and AWS customer, Space Perspective, is a good example of how a SMB succeeds in the cloud. Space Perspective will be sending civilian travelers into lower earth orbit later this year and much of the design and aerodynamics of the Space Perspective capsule are a direct result of the Siemens and AWS partnership. With Siemens SaaS and the necessary compute power, Space Perspective was able to run state-of-the-art simulations without having to invest in hardware or infrastructure. What once took days, even weeks to complete, took less than 12 hours. Take a look at the success Space Perspective enjoyed with the Siemens and AWS partnership. Yes, a SaaS offering brings increased efficiency, improved productivity and faster times to market. But enabling teams to think more creatively, to dream of numerous “what if” scenarios (and not jeopardize timelines) and explore the deepest recesses of their imaginations is an equally important advantage of a digitalized SaaS environment. The Siemens and AWS partnership has an expression for this type of activity, we call it “create without limits.” And it’s this type of thinking that will lead the industry into a new era of technological breakthroughs. If you’d like more details on the relationship between Siemens and Space Perspective, please see this blog. Visit Siemens customer Sierra Space at the Innovation Center for a multimedia extravaganza! If you haven’t heard of Sierra Space you’re in for a big surprise. The company has two major initiatives under way and both will be on display at Siemens Innovation Center at the show. The first initiative is the Dream Chaser, a spaceplane set to begin NASA resupply missions to the International Space Station in late 2023. Dream Chaser will begin its mission as cargo only, but will eventually carry human passengers to the ISS. Sierra Space is also developing the Large Integrated Flexible Environment (LIFE) habitat, a modular commercial space research center. Both Dream Chaser and LIFE habitat were fully designed and optimized utilizing the Siemens Xcelerator open digital business platform. Using the multidisciplinary design and optimization digital thread within Siemens Xcelerator, and by creating comprehensive digital twins, Sierra Space was able to simulate and measure performance of their systems and processes before beginning production, which dramatically increased speed to market, reducing cost and ensuring the safety of their designs. Digitalization allows SMBs such as Sierra Space to truly revolutionize the business of space because the company can design, test and fly a spacecraft before anything ever gets built. To design and develop this revolutionary space platform, Sierra Space partnered with Siemens implementing the Siemens Xcelerator digital business platform. SaaS offerings from Siemens Xcelerator, powered by AWS, serve as the foundation of the company’s next generation digital engineering environment securely running within AWS GovCloud. (Photo courtesy of Sierra Space.) Time for lift-off! We are experiencing unprecedented innovation in the A&D industry these days and this year’s Paris Air Show will highlight the latest breakthroughs. There’s just so much excitement around space missions, supersonic air travel, zero-emissions aircraft and urban air mobility to name but a few of the more promising areas. Of course, the digital transformation and SaaS computing will have a direct impact on the success of these history making technologies. Come spend some time with the Siemens A&D team, we are the new industry leader with our Siemens Xcelerator open digital business platform. From our SaaS offerings to our comprehensive digital twin to our many digital threads that support all facets of A&D design and manufacturing, Siemens is your trusted partner. You can sign up to attend this year’s Paris Air Show. The Siemens and AWS partnership has a complete itinerary highlighting the latest in SaaS and cloud computing for aerospace. Request an onsite meeting with the Siemens A&D team and meet the AWS aerospace and partner team. For more information on the Siemens and AWS partnership, please visit the official partnership website. Interested in what the Siemens and AWS partnership has been up to? Visit our blog site for the latest. So yeah, it’s not a bird – not even a plane. It’s the future coming in for a landing at the 2023 Paris Air Show. See you there! Scott Salzwedel is a senior communications and technology writer for Siemens Digital Industries Software. In addition to blogs, Scott writes numerous articles, white papers, videos and various other types of communication relating to AWS and the digital transformation. He also created and hosted the podcast series “Talking Aerospace Today.”

Mumbai: Kingfisher Airlines Ltd is reconfiguring its fleet to accommodate more seats even as the traditional lean travel season gets over by the end of March. India’s second largest airline by passenger carried also plans to fly more international routes without adding planes to its fleet. The plan assumes significance as in a weak travel season, carriers are under pressure with brent crude crossing $100 per barrel to hit the highest level since mid-2008. Jet fuel, the single biggest expense for carriers, accounts for about 40% of their operating cost. State-run oil firms have increased jet fuel prices by 15.48% since 1 January and airline stocks have lost heavily since then. The country’s largest airline Jet Airways (India) Ltd, too, is converting one-third of its domestic flights into the all-economy service Jet Airways Konnect to cut costs, increase revenue in a lean season, and beat competition from low-fare rivals. Jet Airways will create 20-25% extra seats following this, although the yield of every plane will reduce by 10-15% with the loss of the higher-priced business class seats. An investor presentation by Kingfisher Airlines in March said the airline has applied to the Directorate General of Civil Aviation and the ministry of civil aviation for traffic rights on several international routes using its existing fleet. A Kingfisher Airlines executive, requesting anonymity, said the airline will reconfigure all of its Airbus SAS fleet to dual class—with economy and first class. “There were half a dozen Airbus planes that were all economy. Now we will introduce first class seats on it. At the same time, we will reduce number of first class seats to 20 from 32,” he said. This will allow the airline to have at least 150 more economy seats. “This is equal to having a free plane without lease rentals or other expenses,” the airline official said. The airline will increase the frequencies on the existing international routes to increase the flight utilization rate, he added. The reshuffle of aircraft layouts is applicable only to Kingfisher Airlines fleet, not Deccan Aviation Ltd. Kingfisher Airlines, owned by liquor baron Vijay Mallya, in 2007 bought Deccan Aviation. The reshuffle will bring many benefits for Kingfisher Airlines, industry analysts said. It will help the airline earn more as six to seven planes will now sport highly priced first-class seats. On the other hand, reduction in the number of such seats in other planes will reduce the chances of flying with vacant first-class seats. “This sounds like a well-planned reaction by Kingfisher Airlines to market needs,” said Craig Jenks, president of Airline/Aircraft Projects Inc., a New York-based air transport consulting and advisory services firm. On 23 February, Kingfisher Airlines said in a statement that one of its Mumbai-New Delhi flights will be operated using a dual-class cabin. Mumbai-New Delhi is a key route in terms of revenue for airlines. “It’s good for Kingfisher Airlines as it is tweaking its business model according to the demand. The key thing for an airline is operational flexibility to react to the changing demands,” said Rishikesha T. Krishnan, professor of corporate strategy at the Indian Institute of Management, Bangalore, who tracks the aviation sector. The investor presentation also said the airline renegotiated contracts with ticket booking software companies to cut down cost and started charging for food on its low-fare division Kingfisher Red, formerly Air Deccan. “Ten planes have come back to service out of the 14 grounded since September 2010 and (the) balance four aircraft will be inducted to service over the next few weeks,” it said. An executive from rival Jet Airways said it’s a right strategy to have premium class footprint in all sectors and claimed Kingfisher Airlines is following his airline’s strategy. He did not want to be named. The Kingfisher Airlines executive countered this, saying his airline never had first class seats in some of its planes, while Jet Airways removed its business class to beat the lean season. Front-end seats—business and first—are critical for an airline in increasing profitability as business-class seats are typically six times more expensive than economy seats, while first-class fliers pay 10 times the price of an economy class ticket.

Line of Defense consists of four space regions, each with its own planets and moons. The regions are connected by jump gates in the Sirius/Barnard's Star systems pathway. However, when the game first launches, players will only have access to the planet of Lyrius, with other planets and moons coming afterward. Players can teleport from base to base on planets using Dynamic Jump Pads or can transfer to a station via a carrier. Jumpgates, however, will allow players in vehicles to traverse entire regions. But probably the most interesting mode of transportation is to let loose with an orbital drop from a space station down to the planet surface below. The one thing that Line of Defense won't have, however, is the ability to seamlessly transition between planets, bases, and regions without loading screens.

Good morning. We’re rolling out podcast #2 and webinar #2 today—read on for more info. In today’s newsletter: 🌕 Pathfinder #0002 🚀 Vega C update 💻 Cyber webinar 🔃 On the move Was this email forwarded to you? Sign up here. Back to the Moon: Rob Meyerson on building Blue Origin and the lunar economy In Pathfinder #0002, we sit down with Rob Meyerson, the founder and CEO of Delalune Space and former president of Blue Origin. While at Blue, Rob reported directly to Jeff Bezos, oversaw the company’s growth from 10 to 1,500 employees, and managed development of New Shepard, among many other programs. About the episode At Delalune, which means “of the moon,” Rob backs and advises a range of leading space startups. In the first portion of this wide-ranging conversation, recorded in early May, Rob and Ryan discuss: - The NS-21 mission, which launched over the weekend - Scaling Blue Origin and recruiting for a stealthy, private spaceflight venture - Talent density in the commercial space industry - Investing in space during market downturns - The US aerospace and defense industrial base We then switch gears to discuss the products and services NASA is looking to buy rather than build or operate itself. Rob also surveys the technologies we’ll need to build, buy, deploy, and launch to ensure an expeditious return to the Moon and sustained presence on the lunar surface. We touch on building out the lunar economy, then consider all the other puzzle pieces that humanity will need to assemble to not only go back to the Moon, but also set the stage for a lasting multiplanetary future. Where to listen Vega C debut set for first week of July Arianespace’s head of sales for the Asia-Pacific region Vivian Quenet said last week that the debut of the Avio Vega C would occur in the first week of July. The announcement came during Asia Satellite Business Week in Singapore. During the chat, Quenet also revealed that the maiden flight of Ariane 6 would occur “towards the end of the year.” But with combined testing at Kourou yet to be conducted, this prediction is still very much speculative. Vega C status Although Arianespace will handle the launch operations of the Avio-built Vega C, ESA will manage the maiden flight. The four stages of the first Vega C vehicle have already been stacked at the launch site in French Guiana, with the AVUM+ upper stage being added on 21 May. The vehicle will be the first to utilize the P120C solid-fuel booster that will also be featured aboard both variants of the Ariane 6 launch vehicle. Last week, the mission’s LARES-2 primary payload and six secondary payloads began their journey to the launch site from across Europe. The vehicle’s fairing is already in Kourou, having been shipped there in late January. Following the maiden flight of Vega C, Arianespace is hoping to hit the ground running with as many as five additional missions planned for 2022. Up next: Before the debut of Vega C, however, Arianespace is working towards their first launch of the year aboard an Ariane 5. Liftoff is currently scheduled for June 22, with a pair of GEO satellites as its payload. Come learn how not to get hacked in space. Payload is excited to present our second webinar focused on cybersecurity in the space industry. Join Payload, Renee Wynn, SpiderOak Mission Systems, and Galvanick for a candid panel discussion on cyber challenges and security solutions in the new space economy. We’ll cover the potential threats and hear about how to lead at the cutting edge of space cybersecurity.

diverdan Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 Dear Members. I just got a call a police officier who saw 2 pilots flying very low Over Exmouth beach last Saturday. I know all of the pilots in this region, and know it wasn't any of them from the information given, so i assuming it must be visitors. One month ago we had a low flying pilot flying over the military base in Lymstone. I got an earful from that, even though I was in another county. If you want to fly low, please do elsewhere. If you don't know your airlaw, there are plenty of good books to read.. Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The four forces that affect WSC flight are thrust, drag, lift, and weight. [Figure 2-12] In level, steady WSC flight: - The sum of all upward forces equals the sum of all downward forces. - The sum of all forward forces equals the sum of all backward forces. - The sum of all moments equals zero. Note that the lift and weight forces are much greater than the thrust and drag forces. A typical example for many WSC aircraft is that the lift/weight forces are five times the thrust/drag forces. Thrust—the forward force produced by a powerplant/propeller as it forces a mass of air to the rear (usually acts parallel to the longitudinal axis, relative wind, and flightpath). Drag—the aerodynamic force acting on the wing and carriage in the same plane and in the same direction as the relative wind. Lift—the aerodynamic force caused by air flowing over the wing that is perpendicular to the relative wind. Weight—the force of gravity acting upon a body straight down and perpendicular to the Earth. During level flight, these forces are all horizontal and vertical. During descents or climbing, these forces must be broken down into components for analysis. Dynamic Pressure (q) Both lift and drag are a direct result of the dynamic pressure of the air. Dynamic pressure (q) is created from the velocity of the air and the air density. An increase in velocity has a dramatic effect on dynamic pressure (q) because it increases with the square of the velocity. Doubling the velocity means “q” increases by four times. Increasing the velocity by a factor of three means that the dynamic pressure (q) increases by a factor of nine. This is a very important concept in understanding the aerodynamics of WSC. Formula for dynamic pressure: q = V2 x ρ/2 V = velocity ρ = density factor Lift opposes the downward force of weight and is produced by the dynamic effects of the surrounding airstream acting on the wing. Lift acts perpendicular to the flightpath through the wing’s center of lift. There is a mathematical relationship for lift which varies with dynamic pressure (q), AOA, and the size of the wing. In the lift equation, these factors correspond to the terms q, coefficient of lift (CL), and wing surface area. The relationship is expressed in Figure 2-13. Figure 2-13 shows that for lift to increase, one or more of the factors on the other side of the equation must increase. Generally, the lift needed is about the same for most flight situations. A slower speed requires a higher AOA to produce the same amount of lift. A faster speed requires a lower AOA to produce the same amount of lift. Because lift is a function of dynamic pressure (q), it is proportional to the square of the airspeed; therefore, small changes in airspeed create larger changes in lift. Likewise, if other factors remain the same while the CL increases, lift also increases. The CL goes up as the AOA is increased. As air density increases, lift increases. However, a pilot is usually more concerned with how lift is diminished by reductions in air density on a hot day, or if operating at higher altitudes. All wings produce lift in two ways: - Airfoil shape creates a higher velocity over the top of the wing and a lower velocity over the bottom of the wing with Bernoulli’s venturi effect. - Downward deflection of airflow because of the curvature of the wing with the principle of Newton’s Third Law of Motion: for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. Both principles determine the lifting force. Review the Pilot’s Handbook of Aeronautical Knowledge to understand Newton’s laws of motion and Bernoulli’s venturi effect. Figure 2-14 (top) shows the amount of lift produced along the wing for an airplane wing with an elliptical planform. Notice how the amount of lift generated is smallest at the tips and increases slightly towards the root of the wing. This is known as the “elliptical lift distribution.” The WSC wing lift distribution is different because the wing twist at the root is at a higher AOA than the tips. Most of the lift is produced at the center of the wing with less lift produced at the tips. The WSC lift distribution is compared to the lift distribution for an optimum design elliptical wing in Figure 2-14. Drag is the resistance to forward motion through the air and is parallel to the relative wind. Aerodynamic drag comes in two forms: - Induced drag—a result of the wing producing lift. - Parasite drag—resistance to the airflow from the carriage, its occupants, wires, the wing, interference drag from objects in the airstream, and skin friction drag of the wing. Induced drag is the result of lift, and its amount varies as discussed above for lift. Induced drag creates organized circular vortices off the wingtips that generally track down and out from each wingtip. Refer to the Pilot’s Handbook of Aeronautical Knowledge for additional discussion on wingtip vortices formation. These wingtip vortex formations are typical for all aircraft that use wings including WSC, PPC, helicopters, sailplanes, and all fixed-wing airplanes. The bigger and heavier the aircraft, the greater and more powerful the wingtip vortices are. This organized swirling turbulence is an important factor to understand and avoid for flight safety. Refer to the Aeronautical Information Manual (AIM) or the Pilot’s Handbook of Aeronautical Knowledge (FAA-H-8083-25) for additional discussion. Parasite drag is caused by the friction of air moving over all the components of the aircraft. Just as with lift, parasite drag increases as the surface area of the aircraft increases, and dramatically increases as airspeed increases (the square of the velocity). Therefore, doubling the airspeed quadruples parasite drag. [Figure 2-15] The WSC aircraft can be designed for the purpose of being a slow flying aircraft with a large wing where drag is not a major concern, or can be designed to be a fast flying aircraft with a small wing where drag is more of a concern. The aircraft has plenty of items (area) for the wind to strike including wing, wires, struts, pilot, carriage, engine, wheels, tubes, fuel tanks, etc. Parasitic drag can be reduced by streamlining the items. Round tubes can be streamlined reducing the drag to one-third, and cowlings can be used to streamline the pilot and the carriage completely, but not without the additional expense and additional weight of the streamlining. Streamlining does make a noticeable difference in the speed and gas mileage of the WSC, especially for the faster aircraft. [Figure 2-16] With the large speed range of WSC aircraft, weight, complexity, amount and expense of streamlining, and resultant drag reduction are determined by the specific mission for the aircraft and the manufacturers’ make and model. [Figure 2-17] Total drag is the combination of parasite and induced drag. Total drag = parasitic drag + induced drag To help explain the force of drag, the mathematical equation D = CD x q x S is used. The formula for drag is the same as the formula for lift, except the CD is used instead of the CL. In this equation, drag (D) is the product of the coefficient of drag (CD), dynamic pressure (q) determined by the velocity squared times the air density factor, and surface area (S) of the carriage and wing. The overall drag coefficient is the ratio of drag pressure to dynamic pressure. Induced and parasitic drag have opposite effects as AOA decreases and speed increases. Note the total drag in Figure 2-18. It is high at the slowest airspeeds at high angles of attack near the stall, decreases to the lowest at the most efficient airspeed, and then progressively increases as the speed increases. The WSC wing can fly with a large range of airspeeds. Generally, the most efficient speed is at the lowest total drag providing the best rate of climb, glide ratio, and cruise economy. However, slower speeds provide higher angles of climb, and faster speeds provide quicker transportation. [Figure 2-18]
