I received an email from a science educator colleague and friend, and he included a copy of a paper that he presented last fall at conference among science teacher educators. The paper, entitled “The journey from powerful ideas to classroom practice:Enacting inquiry pedagogy through co-construction, not indoctrination,” by Michael Dias, Kennesaw State University. The paper also earned the “outstanding faculty position paper” award at the conference. The paper traces the issues related to attempts by science teacher educators to develop inquiry-oriented programs to prepare secondary science teachers.… Read more Archives for March 2006 NASA announced, after a meeting in Florida among all of the participating countries (United States, Russia, Europe, Japan and Canada), that a new plan for the completing the $100 billion International Space Station (ISS) was worked out. NASA indicated that it would take 16 flights of the space shuttle (Atlantis, Discovery and Endeavour) in order to deliver equipment and materials needed to complete the various components of the ISS. Of course this has resulted in some controversy among scientists, engineers and managers.… Read more In the last post I reported that new goals for NASA, established by the current Administration, not only involve sending astronauts to Mars, but a return series of trips to the moon. Instead of Apollo, the astronauts will travel in an “apollo-like” spacecraft called CEV (Crew Exploration Vehicle). I think NASA administrators are involved in naming this vehicle—the CEV? Here is what it looks like: It’s bigger than Apollo (18 feet vs 12 feet in diameter) and can hold four astronauts; it will also be launched by a smaller rocket than the Saturn V which shot Apollo into orbit; all four astronauts will be able to land on the moon, and when it returns to Earth, it will return to a land-base location, rather than being dropped into the ocean as the Apollo missions did.… Read more Last year, President Bush established a goal for NASA that would put astronauts on Mars by 2020. This has naturally impacted (intended) NASA’s budget. Although the NASA budget will increase this year, many projects that are much smaller in scope than completing the International Space Station, creating a successor to the Orbitor, and working on the Mission to Mars are suffering. Unfortunately, many of these smaller projects advance scientific knowledge and understanding of the universe, and are being eliminated, or put on hold.… Read more Intelligent Design (ID) advocates are clever folks. They know that a religious belief (like the creation story) can not be taught in a science course because it is not science, although for years “creation science” proponents tried in just about every state to get school districts to demand equal time with evolution by natural selection. That idea didn’t work. So in the last ten years, a group of individuals who organized themselves around the concept of Intelligent Design and then attached themselves to the Discovery Institute have been attempting to “wedge” the concept into the science curriculum, claiming that Intelligent Design is indeed science.… Read more

LATEST NEWS / WASHINGTON – Boeing launched Tuesday an upgraded version of its popular 737 airplane powered by a more fuel-efficient engine, citing strong demand from airlines. Boeing said the new line, dubbed the 737 MAX, will use CFM International’s LEAP-1B engines optimized for the single-aisle 737, the world’s best-selling commercial aircraft. Boeing’s board of directors has approved the new line based on order commitments for 496 airplanes from five airlines and “a strong business case,” the company said in a statement. The first deliveries are scheduled in 2017. “The re-engined 737 will allow Boeing to continue to deliver the most fuel-efficient, most capable airplane with the lowest operating costs in the single-aisle market,” Jim Albaugh, president and chief executive of Boeing Commercial Airplanes, said in the statement. “Customers tell us they want to improve profitability and fuel efficiency while reducing their environmental footprint,” said Albaugh. “This solution meets all three of those needs.” Albaugh said that Boeing was working with its customers to finalize sales agreements. The company did not identify the five airlines. Boeing last month announced it would build a re-engined 737 when American Airlines split a record order for 460 aircraft between Boeing and Europe’s Airbus, breaking the Boeing’s long-time monopoly on the AA fleet. American Airlines parent AMR Corp. said on July 20 it would buy 200 Boeing 737s and 260 Airbus A320 jets. Both the US aerospace and defense giant and France-based Airbus are selling more fuel-efficient versions of their popular single-aisle passenger jets as part of the deal, valued at $38 billion at list prices. American said it planned to order 100 of the re-engined 737s and will buy 130 of the Airbus A320neos. Boeing’s decision to offer its best-selling 737 with a new engine, rather than building an all-new aircraft, was seen as forced by the competition from the Airbus A320neo. The A320neo also includes an option for its own version of the LEAP-X engine from CFM International. Boeing, whose medium-haul 737 has won more than 9,000 orders since it was introduced in 1967, has been under intense pressure since Airbus launched the upgraded and more fuel-efficient A320neo series in December 2010. The A320neo, available from 2015, has chalked up more than 1,200 orders or options since then. Still under development, the Leap-X engine is being made by CFM International, a joint venture between General Electric of the United States and France’s Snecma. Boeing shares gained 2.2 percent to $66.03 in closing New York trade Tuesday.

Four astronauts are on their way to the International Space Station – and the launch marks a historic first for NASA in this new era of space exploration. The mission is the very first to see NASA send a crew into orbit on a privately-owned spacecraft (according to Sky News), and this new venture could shape the future of space travel for years to come. The possibility of commercial space flight has been pondered for many years, but is more likely to be realised with private firms leading the way rather than national space agencies without a profit motive. But back to the current project: the rocket was a SpaceX Falcon 9 model, with a Dragon capsule perched atop, and lift-off occurred at 7:27pm local time in Florida (12:27am GMT). It marked only the second time since 2011 that a manned space flight had taken off from the United States. The voyage to the International Space Station will take approximately 27 hours to complete, after which the crew’s six-month stay will commence. The launch comes at a time when SpaceX’s founder, Elon Musk (never a shrinking violet), has criticised the accuracy of Covid testing – a complaint that has earned him the nickname “Space Karen”. Rapid antigen tests trade sensitivity for speed. They return a result in <30 minutes, but can only detect COVID-19 when you're absolutely riddled with it. What's bogus is that Space Karen didn't read up on the test before complaining to his millions of followers. pic.twitter.com/a1Snfpm03h— Emma Bell PhD (@emmabell42) November 14, 2020 As for several other newsworthy tirades over the past year or so, even Musk’s most dedicated fans must be wishing that he stuck to his area of expertise – because as with the latest rocket launch, the results can be spectacular.

Letter to the editor: Returning to the moon? I find it fascinating that Vice President Pence is ordering NASA to return to the moon "by any means necessary." My question is why? What do we gain by this? We went there 50 years ago. I realize there are scientific benefits to going to space, but we haven't even finished exploring our own planet. Our oceans are filled with all kinds of unlocked potential. Heck, we can't even find where flight MH370 finally landed, because we don't know enough about our oceans. Exploration is great, but let's keep it closer to home. Christi Gray, Tavares

AMC No. 2 to 145.A.50 (d) Certification of maintenance 1.1 A component which has been maintained off the aircraft needs the issue of a certificate of release to service for such maintenance and another certificate of release to service in regard to being installed properly on the aircraft when such action occurs. In the case of base maintenance this takes the form of a separate task sign off for the maintenance and installation tasks. 1.2 When an organisation maintains a component for use by the organisation, a CA Form 1 may not be necessary depending upon the organisation’s internal release procedures defined in the MOE . 2. In the case of the issue of CA Form 1 for components in storage prior to CAR-145 and CAR-21 and not released on a CA Form 1 or equivalent in accordance with 145.A.42(a) or removed serviceable from a serviceable aircraft or an aircraft which have been withdrawn from service the following applies. 2.1 A CA Form 1 may be issued for an aircraft component which has been: • Maintained before CAR-145 became effective or manufactured before CAR-21 became effective. • Used on an aircraft and removed in a serviceable condition. Examples include leased and loaned aircraft components. • Removed from aircraft which have been withdrawn from service, or from aircraft which have been involved in abnormal occurrences such as accidents, incidents, heavy landings or lightning strikes. • Components maintained by an unapproved organisation. 2.2 An appropriately rated maintenance organisation approved under CAR-145 may issue a CA Form 1 as detailed in this AMC sub-paragraph 2.5 to 2.9, as appropriate, in accordance with procedures detailed inrated organisation is responsible for ensuring that all reasonable measures have been taken to ensure that only approved and serviceable aircraft components are issued a CA Form 1 under this paragraph. 2.3 For the purposes of this paragraph 2 only, appropriately rated means an organisation with an approval class rating for the type of component or for the product in which it may be installed. 2.4 A CA Form 1 issued in accordance with this paragraph 2 should be issued by signing in block 14b and stating "Inspected" in block 11. In addition, block 12 should specify: 2.4.1 When the last maintenance was carried out and by whom. 2.4.2 If the component is unused, when the component was manufactured and by whom with a cross reference to any original documentation which should be included with the Form. 2.4.3 A list of all airworthiness directives, repairs and modifications known to have been incorporated. If no airworthiness directives or repairs or modifications are known to be incorporated then this should be so stated. 2.4.4 Detail of life used for service life limited parts being any combination of fatigue, overhaul or storage life. 2.4.5 For any aircraft component having its own maintenance history record, reference to the particular maintenance history record as long as the record contains the details that would otherwise be required in block 12. The maintenance history record and acceptance test report or statement, if applicable, should be attached to the CA Form 1. 2.5 New / unused aircraft components 2.5.1 Any unused aircraft component in storage without a CA Form 1 up to the effective date(s) for CAR-21 that was manufactured by an organisation acceptable to DGCA at the time may be issued a CA Form 1 by an appropriately rated maintenance organisation approved under CAR-145. The CA Form 1 should be issued in accordance with the following subparagraphs which should be included in a procedure within the maintenance organisation exposition. Note 1: It should be understood that the release of a stored but unused aircraft component in accordance with this paragraph represents a maintenance release under CAR- 145 and not a production release under CAR-21. It is not intended to bypass the production release procedure agreed by DGCA for parts and subassemblies intended for fitment on the manufacturer’s own production line. a) An acceptance test report or statement should be available for all used and unused aircraft components that are subjected to acceptance testing after manufacturing or maintenance as appropriate. b) The aircraft component should be inspected for compliance with the manufacturer’s instructions and limitations for storage and condition including any requirement for limited storage life, inhibitors, controlled climate and special storage containers.In addition or in the absence of specific storage instructions the aircraft component should be inspected for damage, corrosion and leakage to ensure good condition. c) The storage life used of any storage life limited parts should be established. 2.5.2 If it is not possible to establish satisfactory compliance with all applicable conditions specified in subparagraph 2.5.1 (a) to (c) inclusive, the aircraft component should be disassembled by an appropriately rated organisation and subjected to a check for incorporated airworthiness directives, repairs and modifications and inspected/tested in accordance with the manufacturer’s maintenance instructions to establish satisfactory condition and, if relevant, all seals, lubricants and life limited parts replaced. On satisfactory completion after reassembly a CA Form 1 may be issued stating what was carried out and the reference of the manufacturer’s maintenance instructions included. 2.6 Used aircraft components removed from a serviceable aircraft. 2.6.1 Serviceable aircraft components removed from a DGCA registered aircraft may be issued a CA Form 1 by an appropriately rated organisation subject to compliance with this subparagraph. a) The organisation should ensure that the component was removed from the aircraft by an appropriately qualified person. b) The aircraft component may only be deemed serviceable if the last flight operation with the component fitted revealed no faults on that component /related system. c) The aircraft component should be inspected damage, corrosion or leakage and compliance with any additional manufacturer’s maintenance instructions. d) The aircraft record should be researched for any unusual events that could affect the serviceability of the aircraft component such as involvement in accidents, incidents, heavy landings or lightning strikes. Under no circumstances may a CA Form 1 be issued in accordance with this paragraph 2.6 if it is suspected that the aircraft component has been subjected to extremes of stress, temperatures or immersion which could affect its operation. e) A maintenance history record should be available for all used serialised aircraft f) Compliance with known modifications and repairs should be established. g) The flight hours/cycles/landings as applicable of any service life limited parts including time since overhaul should be established. h) Compliance with known applicable airworthiness directives should be established. i) Subject to satisfactory compliance with this subparagraph 2.6.1 a CA Form 1 may be issued and should contain the information as specified in paragraph 2.4 including the aircraft from which the aircraft component was removed. 2.6.2 Serviceable aircraft components removed from a non Indian registered aircraft may only be issued a CA Form 1 if the components are leased or loaned from the maintenance organisation approved under CAR- 145 who retains control of the airworthiness status of the components. A CA Form 1 may be issued and should contain the information as specified in paragraph 2.4 including the aircraft from which the aircraft component was removed. 2.7 Used aircraft components removed from an aircraft withdrawn from service. Serviceable aircraft components removed from an Indian registered aircraft withdrawn from service may be issued a CA Form 1 by a maintenance organisation approved under CAR-145 subject to compliance with this sub paragraph. a) Aircraft withdrawn from service are sometimes dismantled for spares. This is considered to be a maintenance activity and should be accomplished under the control of an organisation approved under CAR-145, employing procedures approved by DGCA. b) To be eligible for installation components removed from such aircraft may be issued with a CA Form one by an appropriately rated organisation following a satisfactory assessment. c) As a minimum the assessment will need to satisfy the standards set out in paragraphs 2.5 and 2.6 as appropriate. This should where known, include the possible need for the alignment of scheduled maintenance that may be necessary to comply with the maintenance programme applicable to the aircraft on which the component is to be installed. d) Irrespective of whether the aircraft holds a certificate of airworthiness or not, the organisation responsible for certifying any removed component should satisfy itself that the manner in which the components were removed and stored are compatible with the standards required by CAR-145. e) A structured plan should be formulated to control the aircraft disassembly process. The disassembly is to be carried out by an appropriately rated organisation under the supervision of certifying staff, who will ensure that the aircraft components are removed and documented in a structured manner in accordance with the appropriate maintenance data and disassembly plan. f) All recorded aircraft defects should be reviewed and the possible effects these may have on both normal and standby functions of removed components are to be considered. g) Dedicated control documentation is to be used as detailed by the disassembly plan, to facilitate the recording of all maintenance actions and component removals performed during the disassembly process. Components found to be unserviceable are to be identified as such and quarantined pending a decision on the actions to be taken. Records of the maintenance accomplished to establish serviceability are to form part of the component maintenance history. h) Suitable CAR-145 facilities for the removal and storageof removed components are to be used which include suitable environmental conditions, lighting, access equipment, aircraft tooling and storage facilities for the work to be undertaken. While it may be acceptable for components to be removed, given local environmental conditions, without the benefit of an enclosed facility subsequent disassembly (if required) and storage of the components should be in accordance with manufacturer’s recommendations. 2.8 Used aircraft components maintained by organizations not approved in accordance with CAR-145. For used components maintained by a maintenance organisation unapproved under CAR-145, due care should be exercised before acceptance of such components. In such cases an appropriately rated maintenance organisation approved under CAR-145 should establish satisfactory conditions by: a. dismantling the component for sufficient inspection in accordance with the appropriate maintenance data, b. replacing of all service life limit components when no satisfactory evidence of life used is available and/or the components are in an unsatisfactory condition, c. reassembling and testing as necessary the component, d. completing all certification requirements as specified in 145.A.50. 2.9 Used aircraft components removed from an aircraft involved in an accident or incident. Such components should only be issued with a CA Form 1 when processed in accordance with paragraph 2.7 and a specific work order including all additional necessary tests and inspections made necessary by the accident or incident. Such a work order may require input from the TC holder or original manufacturer as appropriate. This work order should be referenced in block 12. Highlights 145.45 Maintenance Data

PAL-V and EASA finalize first flying car certification After 10 years of testing, the Dutch company completes full certification basis with EU’s aviation regulator and opens path to commercialization. Photo Credit: PAL-V PAL-V (Personal Air Landing Vehicle, Raamdonksveer, Netherlands), a Dutch company involved in the development of a commercial flying car, announced on Feb. 23 that in addition to being the first flying car — a combination of car and gyroplane — to get road permission for Europe, its composites-intensive PAL-V Liberty (see “GKN Fokker to advise design, manufacture of PAL-V flying cars”) is now reportedly the first to complete the full certification basis with the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA). Based on PAL-V's 10 years of test results, EASA specialist teams finalized the requirements for the PAL-V Liberty. PAL-V says the issuance, after industry consultation, shows the confidence of the European authorities and the maturity of its design and company. The final phase is compliance demonstration. “Getting a flying car to the market is hard. It takes at least 10 years,” says Robert Dingemanse, PAL-V's CEO. “Although we are experienced entrepreneurs, we learned that in aviation everything is exponentially stricter. Next to the aircraft, all aspects of the organization, including suppliers and maintenance parties must be certified.” In 2009 PAL-V says it agreed with the EASA to use the Certification Specifications for Small Rotorcraft, CS-27, as a starting point for the development of the Certification Basis. Since then, PAL-V has worked together with EASA to amend the complete list of more than 1,500 criteria to make it applicable for the PAL-V. The list was published last year for review by industry experts and the final version was published the week of Feb. 15, 2021. “Safety is key in developing the Liberty,” says Mike Stekelenburg, CTO. “We are privileged to work with top experts of the EASA. Their high safety standards also allow Liberty to be used professionally. From the start, we built the flying car to comply with existing regulations. This strategy provides the fastest route to market.” According to PAL-V Head of Airworthiness, Cees Borsboom, “It's hard to grasp the amount of work required to certify an aircraft. More than 10 years of analysis, test data, flight tests and drive tests have led to this important milestone. In parallel, we already started compliance demonstration to obtain the Type Certificate, which will be followed by delivery of vehicles to our customers." The EASA Type Certificate (TC) is valid for Europe and is also accepted in 80% of the world market, including the U.S. and China. The structural properties of composite materials are derived primarily from the fiber reinforcement. Fiber types, their manufacture, their uses and the end-market applications in which they find most use are described. There are numerous methods for fabricating composite components. Selection of a method for a particular part, therefore, will depend on the materials, the part design and end-use or application. Here's a guide to selection. As the general aviation (GA) segment emerges from the recessionary storm clouds, GA manufacturers and the composites supply chain that supports them should see sunny days … with some clouds and a chance of rain.

There will be an experiment carried through return-to-flight mission. The mission will be carried based on novel DFH-5 satellite platform through 300 Gbps telecommunications satellite. The upcoming DFH-5 will be able to deliver 1 terabit per second from the present 20 Gbps with DFH-4. One of the most powerful rocket of China will be fired for the third time of this year. This launch of will be significant for upcoming projects comprising returning lunar samples, 2020 Mars mission, and space station module launch. Speaking on the basis of nation’s annual parliamentary sessions in Beijing in March, a senior aerospace officials opened to the media the details of Long March 5 return-to-flight. The launch will carry ‘Practice-20’ and Shijian-20 that are experimental telecommunication satellites designed based on DFH-5 satellite platform. President of the China Academy of Space Technology (CAST), Zhang Hongtai, a manufacturer and developer of spacecraft and satellites stated that Shijian-20 will boost the communication satellite capacity of the country to 300 gigabits per second from the present capacity of 20 Gbps with the predecessor DFH-4. Post on-orbit technical authentication of this first satellite, which is expected to launch in November, Zhang believes that with the help of DFG-5 platform the future satellites will be efficient enough to deliver capacity of 1 terabit per second. Shijian-20 will also be loaded with newly created high-thrust ion propulsion by test out laser communications and Lanzhou Institute of Physics. The satellite will be the largest among its type sent to geostationary orbit with total mass of 7 metric tons and 2,000 kg of payload capacity. China is following a target of giving a shot of 40 launches in 2018 which is practically double of the national record of 22 set sent in 2016. The Long March 5 will turn out to be the China’s one of the key space goals which rest on its success.

The Chinese space programme has released a trove of some of the highest-resolution images of the Moon’s surface ever taken. The images were taken by the Yutu lunar rover, more commonly known in the West as the ‘Jade Rabbit’, which touched down on the Moon on December 2013 as part of the Chang’e-3 Moon mission. The lander became the first to operate on the Moon since the Soviet Lunokhod 2 rover stopped operations in 1973, and now holds the record for the longest operational period ever spent by a lunar rover. Unlike Nasa or the European Space Agency, which release images and data from around the universe on a daily basis, the China National Space Administration (CNSA) is much more secretive, and releases of this size are uncommon. The CNSA’s website is also fairly difficult to use (and is entirely in Chinese), so announcements and reports usually don’t get too much attention. An image of the lander unit taken by the rover two days before its motor failed (Pic: Chinese Academy of Sciences/China National Space Administration/The Science and Application Center for Moon and Deepspace Exploration/Emily Lakdawalla) Fortunately, the huge set of high-resolution, true-colour images were downloaded and re-hosted by Emily Lakdawalla on The Planetary Society‘s website. A rock formation captured by the rover which scientists later named ‘Pyramid Rock’ (Pic: Chinese Academy of Sciences/China National Space Administration/The Science and Application Center for Moon and Deepspace Exploration/Emily Lakdawalla) The images are some of the most detailed ever taken of the Moon, showing the rocky lunar surface, rover tracks and impressive rock formations. A photo Yutu took of its own shadow on 12 January 2014 (Pic: Chinese Academy of Sciences/China National Space Administration/The Science and Application Center for Moon and Deepspace Exploration) Due to the cold lunar nights, which last around 14 days, the Jade Rabbit began to have difficulty moving by early 2014, and eventually was left totally motionless on the Moon’s surface. Fortunately, the rover’s instruments were still working, allowing it to record data and take these amazing pictures from a static position. The CNSA has already got more lunar missions in the pipeline, with the Chang’e-4 rocket set to send a probe to the far side of the Moon by 2020. via : The Independent – Science

For a number of our community youth, this Saturday was a little extra special… each was able to experience the magic of flight as part of the Experimental Aircraft Association’s Young Eagle program. For most this was their first ride in a small general aviation aircraft, and for some, their very first flight in an airplane of any type. Founded in 1992, the Young Eagles program has dedicated 25 years to giving youth ages 8–17 their first free ride in an airplane. It’s the only program of its kind, with the sole mission to introduce and inspire kids in the world of aviation. Today, the Young Eagles program has flown over 2 million kids with the help of EAA’s network of volunteer pilots and ground volunteers. To view or download photos from today’s Young Eagle even, please click HERE. Those of you lucky enough to be looking skyward just before 2:00 yesterday afternoon were treated to a fly-by of FIFI, one of only two Boeing B-29 Superfortresses still in the air. The other B-29 continuing to take to the sky is Doc. FIFI tours the U.S. and Canada, taking part in air shows and offering flight experiences. The B-29 is owned by the Commemorative Air Force and is based at the Vintage Flying Museum located at Meacham International Airport in Fort Worth, Texas. I happened to be sitting in my office (working as usual) and caught a glimpse as FIFI flew overhead on a westbound trip to Nellis AFB in Las Vegas for the Veteran’s Day Air Show. We were lucky to be on the flight path of that trip and had advance notice of when the flyover would occur. This, of course, generated a “Waiting for FIFI” party on one of our homeowner’s ramp and another occasion for good friends to get together. We were not disappointed when FIFI flew right over our viewing party on a beautiful clear fall Arizona day. The sound of those giant radial engines is something you don’t forget…..for friend or foe. Photos courtesy of Edd Weninger. Please thank members of EAA who sent letters to me on my Honor Flight. “Mail Call” on the return Southwest flight was among the many surprises we experienced. JoAnn did a fantastic job of notifying friends – and it took a long time read all the notes which I did back home as there were too many to read on the plane with other many distractions, like our WW2 bugler sounding off, snacks and a former police judge leading singing “God Bless America ” including the pre-amble that Kate Smith originally sang! There were 28 Veterans and 32 guardians and volunteer support personnel on the trip, all from Arizona. We took all the front seats and all the other passengers going D.C. & back had to sit in the back and join in or ignore us. I saw 3 memorials I had never seen: FDR Park, Women in the Military, and the Air Force Memorials A big thank you to all who helped with out EAA Chapter 1044 Adopt a Highway Cleanup! Volunteers filled 10 large bags with trash in just over an hour. After the cleanup, everyone gathered back ad the airpark lodge to enjoy some delicious homemade chili, thanks to Michele Weninger. Thanks again for helping keep Heber-Overgaard beautiful!

NASA has decided to sign a deal with a new company to make spacesuits for astronauts within the scope of its new lunar exploration program which sees another landing on the Moon some time by 2020. Spacesuits will now be made by Oceaneering International Inc., a Houston-based company. The 745-million-dollar contract includes design, evaluation, production and testing of two types of spacesuits. The first type of them will be used during the traveling on NASA’s new Orion spaceships and emergency spacewalks. The second type of spacesuits will be used for working on the surface of the Moon. The first suits are said to be ready in 2015 when NASA’s Orion first spaceship will make its debut flight. The spacesuits, which astronauts use now are designed for working under conditions of weightlessness and cannot be used for walking on the Moon. NASA plans to end its space shuttle program in 2010 and start developing the Orion spacecraft that will be capable of taking astronauts to the ISS as well as to the Moon. Oceaneering International Inc. is an applied technology company based in Houston, Texas, U.S.A. that provides engineered services and hardware to customers who operate in marine, space, and other environments. It was founded in 1964. It helped recover the Confederate submarine H. L. Hunley, which sank in 1864. Oceaneering's services and products are marketed worldwide to oil and gas companies, government agencies, and firms in the telecommunications, aerospace, and marine engineering and construction industries. Its business offerings include remotely operated vehicles, mobile offshore production systems, built-to-order specialty hardware, engineering and project management, subsea intervention and installation services, non-destructive testing and inspections, manned diving, and space suits. The platform on which the United States stands will be completely destroyed in three months. Then it will be possible to talk about the surrender of the United States, said political scientist and economist Mikhail Khazin.

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's (NOAA) Aircraft Operations Center was born as the Research Flight Facility (RFF) in 1961. The U.S. Weather Bureau's National Hurricane Research Project, of which RFF. was originally a part, funded the acquisition of two Douglas DC-6 aircraft, a B-57A and a DC-4 to support its multifaceted atmospheric research programs which included the early attempts to modify hurricanes. This project, called Stormfury was a joint effort of the Weather Bureau and the Department of Defense to learn more about hurricanes to be able to say whether their intensity could be decreased through dynamic cloud seeding in order to achieve beneficial results. In 1970, a WC-130B was obtained on loan from the U.S. Air Force to further enhance this program. Richard M. Nixon, proposed the creation of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration in July of 1970. His goal was to unify the nations scientific efforts under one agency. NOAA would provide scientific and technical services to other federal agencies, private sector research interests and the general public. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration became a reality in October of 1970. NOAA was tasked with the responsibility to predict changes in the oceans, atmosphere and living marine resources. The data gathered by NOAA would be shared by other government agencies, the research community, private industry and the the 1960s and early 1970s, the Research Flight Facility's aircraft, operating from Miami International Airport engaged in many atmospheric research projects spanning the globe from the Arctic to India and West Africa. It also continued with the Stormfury project until it was recognized that aircraft with better performance characteristics and more sophisticated instrumentation would be required to successfully achieve the goals of the project. To this end, two WP-3D Orion turbine powered aircraft were ordered from the Lockheed California Company in 1973. 1975 the facility was combined with a unit from the Environmental Research Laboratories to form the Research Facilities Center, an organization that provided both airborne platform and engineering capabilities to NOAA's research community. In 1975 and 1976 the RFC received the two new WP-3D research aircraft and replaced the aging DC-6, B-57A and DC-4 aircraft. 1983, the Office of Aircraft Operations (OAO) was created to consolidate all of the aviation assets operated by NOAA. The OAO was charged with managing NOAA aircraft, personnel, budget, facilities and the charter of aircraft in support of NOAA aircraft programs. By the mid 1980s, the OAO consisted of two WP-3D Orions, a DeHavilland DHC-6 Twin Otter, a Beech C-90 King Air, two Rockwell Aero Commanders, a Rockwell Turbo Commander and two Bell 212 helicopters. In the early 1990s, the OAO was designated the Aircraft Operations Center (AOC) and moved to MacDill AFB in Tampa, Florida in January of 1993. AOC and its staff of approximately 95 employees operate, manage, and maintain NOAA's nine aircraft, including the agency's two Lockheed WP-3D Orion "hurricane hunters." aircraft operate throughout the United States and around the world. Over open ocean, mountains, coastal wetlands and Arctic pack ice. NOAA's mission is to describe and predict changes in the Earth's environment and to conserve and manage wisely the nation's coastal and marine resources. The hard working and very specialized NOAA aircraft directly support this mission by providing scientists with unique platforms to precisely observe, measure and chart the dynamics of our oceans and

The Boeing Co.’s chances of winning a multi-billion dollar Air Force tanker contract are looking slim, writes analyst Loren B. Thompson, with the Lexington Institute. Boeing’s rival EADS, the parent company of Airbus, seems to be the Air Force’s favorite to replace 179 of its KC-135 tankers, made by Boeing under the Eisenhower administration. The contract is worth at least $35 billion. For workers in Everett, a Boeing win means extending production on the company’s 767 line. An EADS win would mean the European company will break into the U.S. defense market. Boeing believes the Air Force hasn’t captured the extra costs associated with picking the larger EADS tanker, based on an Airbus A330 jet, writes Thompson. EADS tanker will require the Air Force to make modifications at some of its existing bases. Boeing’s 767-based tanker would not. EADS’ tanker also looks to have scored higher in warfighting capability, which is based on complex computer model, the analyst writes. The Air Force admitted in November that it accidentally gave Boeing and EADS information about how the other’s tanker performed in the model. Thompson lays out a list of pattern of bias by the Air Force towards EADS, including pushing back the initial bid deadline to allow EADS to compete without a U.S.-based partner and allowing EADS to respond late with engineering questions. The analyst also indicates that the Pentagon’s refusal to consider an unfair trade dispute, still pending with the World Trade Organization, favors EADS. It’s a point that local analyst, Scott Hamilton disputes in this post on his Leeham Co. blog. The Air Force isn’t allowed to penalize EADS’ bid under U.S. law, Hamilton writes. Hamilton advocates that the Air Force split the contract between EADS and Boeing. Lexington Institute’s Thompson’s outlook is pessimistic for Boeing’s tanker chances: “Boeing has not concluded from all this that the tanker competition is irretrievably lost, but I have. … The question is what Boeing intends to do about it.”

Hungary and Sweden have agreed an upgrade agreement for the Gripen C/D fighter jets operated by the Hungarian Air Force, which have been in service under lease since 2005. As revealed by Saab, which will do the work, the 14 fighters will be updated to the MS20 Block 2 standard which consists of several improvements. “Sensor capability is being enhanced by a radar upgrade to the PS-05/A Mk 4 which means that the air-to-air target tracking range as well as the performance increases significantly. air targets, improved clutter suppression, and brings growth potential for further developments in the air-to air and air-to-ground modes”, said the manufacturer. The Gripen Block 2 will also have new communication capabilities due to the modernization of Link16 (NATO data link) in addition to the installation of the Friend or Foe (IFF) NATO Mode 5 identification system. The fighters of the Hungarian Air Force will have their military power increased by being able to carry IRIS-T missiles, GBU-49 laser-guided bombs and BVRAAM long-range radar-guided missiles, among others. “Thanks to the modernization of the Hungarian Gripen aircraft, the operational capabilities of the Hungarian Air Force will be significantly increased. Our staff has appreciated the close and fruitful cooperation with the Swedish side on this specific modernization project as well as the cooperation during the 15 years that we have operated Gripen aircraft,” said Major General Nandor Kilian, HDF Air Force Inspector. Hungary was the third country to operate the Gripen, after Sweden and the Czech Republic.

5 Major Tips for Increasing Air Medical Ambulance Safety Posted on July 11, 2018 The operations carried out by air medical transportation companies are unique in nature as these require transporting people with critical medical attention and care needs. Trusting an air ambulance provider is one of the most critical decisions that patients and their loved ones make. The air medical transport industry should therefore take all possible measures to safely transport patients and work towards building credibility. Mentioned below are some of the ways air medical transport companies can ensure air medical ambulance safety: Accreditation and Certifications National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB), an independent agency has undertaken the responsibility of promoting air medical transportation safety and determining the likely causes of accidents. They pushed the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to bring forth improvements in transportation standards and medical flights safety. Rules set forth by the FAA for the air medical transportation industry has helped enhance air medical transportation standards, improved training procedures, communications and on-board safety equipment. Air medical transport companies that are accredited by FAA and CAMTS like AirMed follow safety standards set forth by NTSB. CAMTS accreditation and FAA certification testify the quality and efficiency of the services provided by air medical transport providers. Low visibility and bad weather According to NTSB, fatal air medical transportation accidents are most likely to occur as a result of encountering bad weather and poor visibility. This requires scenario-based training, that should cover usage of simulators and flight devices. Standards set forth by FAA requires air medical transportation providers to ensure that their crew is not only trained but also proficient in instrument flying, including low visibility and accidental flight into clouds. Since poor weather can serve as the biggest challenge pilots could face, FAA requires air medical transport companies to ensure their air ambulance are well-equipped with: terrain awareness and alerting systems, including NVIS and H-TAWS. Dealing with bad weather, especially at night could be fatal, hence why the pilots should be able to use night vision imaging and autopilot systems proficiently. Not only does an air medical transport provider should arrange for sufficient equipment to care for a patient but there should also be back-up equipment in case of equipment failure. AirMed aircrafts are equipped with state-of-the-art medical equipment, where it also ensures there is emergency equipment at standby. Moreover, for medical emergencies requiring additional resources, there are diversion plans placed around the world. Employees need to be aware of the safety guidelines and abide by them. Air medical transport providers should ensure that all members participate in the proactive safety program and their training fulfils the safety criterion set forth by FAA. Line maintenance team should ensure that flight prep areas are clear of any debris that can harm aircraft and personnel. There should be sufficient fire extinguisher equipment on-board and the employees need be trained in handling it. There should be a safety committee to oversee the safety management systems: review, forcast and suggest future regulatory changes. Air medical transport companies are also encouraged to use a Revilizer. It is a safety tool designed to analyse medical department and aviation safety risk values and safety reports to provide an overall risk number. Accidents occur and the best one can do is to be prepared to deal with it, while minimizing the overall impact. Hence, requiring the crew to go through survival training and aircraft-ditching drills. AirMed ensures that their crew is fully trained in deploying rafts, using survival-kit content, handling life vests, erecting the canopy, while ensuring the safety of the patients and their loved ones. This is perhaps the most important element to gauge the crews cognitive ability: from choosing the appropriate aircraft, equipment and crew, there could be live challenging decisions that would have to be made on-board. These could be related to the patient’s treatment or decisions to land. Air medical transport providers should therefore ensure that, their crew is not only certified/trained and mentally/physically fit to carry out operations they are assigned but are also capable of taking the right course of action To find out more about the safety precautions carried out by AirMed, get in touch with our support team today.

The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has effectively arrived at its ultimate position, a million miles from Earth. Launched on Christmas Day, the $10 billion (£7.4 million) telescope has now completed its huge adventure after a month hurtling through house. it’ll keep at its present place, Lagrange 2 (L2), for its whole operational lifespan, which is expected to be round 20 years. L2 is a gravitational solid element at the other aspect of the Earth from the Solar, the place the pull of the two our bodies cancels out. Nasa first of all expected Webb to operate for a maximum of 10 years, but its launch from French Guiana used to be so environment friendly that engineers now be expecting it to paintings for two times that. “Everything has long gone as easily as we was hoping, but dared now not expect,” mentioned Professor Martin Barstow, chairman of the united kingdom Area Agency’s Technology Programme Advisory Committee. “The launch used to be easiest, keeping thruster fuel and permitting a miles longer lifetime at L2 than anticipated.” NASA James Webb Telescope – 1 The Challenge NASA James Webb Telescope – 2 Where it goes and Unfolding NASA James Webb Telescope – THREE Seeing Infrared At 7pm GMT on Monday, Nasa’s engineers initiated a five-minute lengthy path correction to delicately position JWST in its final place. “Webb, welcome home!” stated Invoice Nelson, Nasa administrator. “Congratulations to the workforce for all in their labor ensuring Webb’s safe arrival at L2 these days.” All that is left for the telescope to do now’s to chill down. In a couple of months time, the telescope will become operational and begin scanning the cosmos for the rays of infrared radiation emitted on the very morning time of the universe. But, so as for this to occur, all other resources of infrared must be nullified, including any residual heat from the telescope itself. As Soon As it reaches a frigid -223C, its 18 gold-plated mirrors will start to analyse the break of day of time. “we’re now on the verge of aligning the mirrors, device activation and commissioning, and the beginning of wondrous and impressive discoveries,” said Bill Ochs, Webb challenge supervisor at Nasa’s Goddard Area Flight Center.

Jim Keys and his crew were assigned Halifax MZ-802 (QB-G) as part of No. 424 Squadron. Their ground crew took it upon themselves to have the squadron nose artist, Matthew Ferguson, paint “Gallopin’ Gerty” on the aircraft. Jim recalled, “One day we came out to the parking pad and there it was. We were very proud of their efforts and had them out for a night at the pub.” “Gerty” served well. The crew’s air gunners, Sgt. Peter Engbrecht and Sgt. Gordon Gillanders went on to become the most renown in the RCAF. However on 9 October 1944, the aircraft failed to return from a raid to Bochum. The squadron’s commanding officer, W/C G.A. Roy DFC, was flying “Gerty” that night. He and five of the six other aircrew aboard survived to become Prisoners of War.

Have you ever had the thought that "What if a plane's fuel gets exhausted while in flight?" Have you ever wondered how planes are refueled while in flight? Like our vehicles, which require constant refueling during a long-distance journey, planes too are sometimes refueled in midair and the process is called Aerial Refueling. There are a lot of technological marvels in the aviation industry today and a lot of innovations are being developed every day. Planes are now highly sophisticated; some can fly for hours without landing, some are large, the size of two football fields, and some can carry unimaginable weights, thanks to aviation engineers' ingenuity. Out of all the above aviation marvels, midair or aerial refueling remains one of the most genii of them all. Aerial refueling is the process of transferring aviation fuel/gas from one aircraft (a carrier plane) to another while in midair. This practice was invented by Alexander de Seversky, a U.S. aeronautic engineer, and was first used in 1949 to refuel a plane during the first non-stop circumnavigation of the earth by air. Aerial refueling is one of the most difficult air maneuvers, and the process requires only skilled pilots. The process requires the planes to fly in formation, and a hose is controlled by the tanker (a plane carrying the fuel) and the aircraft receiving it. The process takes about 40 to 60 minutes and it can pump nearly 900 gallons of fuel per minute. Aerial refueling is mostly used on military jets, helicopters, etc. when on the battlefield or important assignments. It will be in your interest to know that commercial planes are not designed to be refueled in midair. There are numerous benefits to midair refueling, some of which are listed below. (1) Reduces the amount of work done by airplane engines: When the plane is hauling a big payload, it is similar to driving up a hill in a car. It is more energy efficient to fly with less fuel and refill in the air. 2]. It helps to lighten the plane's load so that more important items, such as military troops, weaponry, and cargo, can be carried. The maximum mass of load a plane can carry due to its structural building and other limiting factors is referred to as the "take-off weight of a plane". Because planes can refuel in mid-flight, more space is available for other critical items to be transported. (3) It allows for more flight time: Since aircraft can be refueled, it enables them to fly longer distances between landings.Thanks for your time. Image Credit: Google.

Unmanned helicopter to join India second space odyssey Mars India plans to send a helicopter to Mars in 2031 in addition to a rover, inspired by NASA's successful mission. India is on the verge of embarking on its second journey to Mars, with an exciting twist - a resilient helicopter is set to accompany the mission, ready to navigate through the thin atmosphere of the alien planet. Jayadev Pradeep, a scientist from India's Space Physics Laboratory, revealed during a recent webinar that a space drone intended for the Mars mission will be equipped with payloads for aerial exploration of the planet. While the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) has not disclosed specific details, reports from local media and international space journals suggest that the mission scheduled for 2031 will include a helicopter and a wheeled rover headed to the Red Planet. The helicopter, although still in the conceptual stage, is expected to be a key component of the mission. Taking inspiration from NASA's Ingenuity Mars helicopter, which successfully completed 72 powered flights on Mars after being deployed by a rover, the Indian project aims to achieve similar feats. The Ingenuity helicopter, weighing just 1.8 kilograms, exceeded expectations by flying more times than originally planned before sustaining rotor-blade damage in January 2024. Although details about the Indian helicopter remain scarce, it is rumored to have the capability to fly up to 100 meters in the Martian atmosphere, known for its susceptibility to solar winds. The helicopter is said to be equipped with a range of instruments designed to study Mars' atmosphere, including sensors for temperature, humidity, pressure, wind speed, electric field, and dust aerosols. The inclusion of a helicopter in the Mars mission signifies India's commitment to pushing the boundaries of space exploration and advancing scientific knowledge about our neighboring planet. As we eagerly await the launch in 2031, the prospect of witnessing a helicopter take flight on Mars is both thrilling and groundbreaking.

The Future is here, Here is in Belarus In Belarus they use planes with ellipse wings. They say it has a few benefits compared to single wing or double winged plane, when the wing is built like this it can be reduced in size, it’s firmer because the ellipse form is self sustaining, also it creates air vortexes to the outside edge of the wings which increases the power up to 30% compared to the traditional single fixed wing design. Not Sure the last Design ever Flew Flight on a circle. Take-off weight of the plane of 1360 kg. Capacity of the engine 230 л/с. Launch is made from an unprepared site of a field. A ground dry, rough, with biases to 5 °. Running start is carried out “on a hill”. Meteoconditions: air temperature +30°С, a wind counter 3-5 km/s., in air intensive bumpiness.

Which is the highest airplane in the world? The highest military air-breathing engine airplane was the SR-71 — about 90,000 feet. The highest airliner flying today reaches 45,000 feet. The highest business jet flying today reaches 51,000 feet. Q: At what altitude would the wings of an aircraft lose effectiveness? A: It depends on the wing and how much air can be kept flowing over it. Is there a plane that can fly over 100, 000 feet? A: No commercial or business airplane flying today can exceed 100,000 feet. Special rocket-powered airplanes can fly over 100,000 feet to gather data, but they are specially designed for it. Which is the biggest fighter plane in the world? The Tupolev Tu-160 is the largest, heaviest supersonic and combat aircraft ever constructed. The aircraft also holds the title for the largest variable-geometry “swing wing” aircraft. The Tu-160 (NATO code: Blackjack) has a 183-foot wingspan and a max takeoff weight of 606,271 pounds. Only 36 of the planes were ever built. What’s the maximum weight of a large aircraft? This is a list of large aircraft, including three types: fixed wing, rotary wing, and airships. The US Federal Aviation Administration defines a large aircraft as any aircraft with a certificated maximum takeoff weight of more than 12,500 lb (5,700 kg) What aircraft can fly the highest? Answer: It depends on the airplane. Some corporate airplanes can fly up to 51,000 feet. The Concorde flew up to 60,000 feet, and the all-time high flier was the SR-71 which could go over 80,000 feet. What airplane can fly the highest? But some jets fly higher than others. An aircraft’s maximum altitude is called its service ceiling, and the Global 6000, the Falcon 5X and the Gulfstream G650 all currently fly the highest with a service ceiling of 51,000 feet. Which helicopter can fly the highest? The majority of helicopters cannot fly above 8,000 ft. The SA .315 Lama, however, set a record by flying at 41,000 feet. It regularly operates at over 20,000 feet. It is the world’s highest-flying helicopter. What is the highest flying military aircraft? The highest military air-breathing engine airplane was the SR-71 — about 90,000 feet. The highest airliner flying today reaches 45,000 feet. The highest business jet flying today reaches 51,000 feet.

Q. In an experiment in physics class, a model solid-fueled rocket is fired vertically with an acceleration of 3 m/sec2 for 5 seconds. After that time, it's fuel is exhausted and it continues upwards as a free fall particle. (Take upwards to be the positive direction.) a) What is the maximum altitude the rocket reaches? Ans. x-x0=vo(t)+(1/2)a(t)^2 where x0=0 vo=0 a=3 m/sec^2 t=5 I get x= 37.5 meters v=0, a=-9.81m/s/s t=5 sec Using v = v0 + at, we get v0 = 49.05 m/s^2 While the rocket engine is firing a= 3. v0= 0 so v= 0+ 3(5)= 15 and you can use THAT as v0 after the engine shuts down. AFTER the rocket engine has shut off, the only acceleration is that of gravity: -9.81 so v= 15- 9.81t (t is now measured from engine cutoff, not initial launch). From that we get h= 15t- 4.9t2+ 122.5 (since the height was 37.5 m at engine cutoff, t=0). The maximum height occurs when v= 0: 15- 9.81t= 0 gives t= 15/9.81= 1.52 seconds. That height will be h= 15(1.52)- 4.9(1.52)^2+ 37.5= 48.97 m. b) What is the rocket's acceleration 6.5 seconds after the launch? Here is where I am stuck. Any ideas.... c) What is the total time of flight? Some ideas: Finally, the flight will be over when the rocket hits the ground: h=0. Solve 15t- 4.9t2+ 37.5= 0 to find the time AFTER CUTOFF that that occurs. You will need to add the inital 5 seconds to find the length of the entire flight. I tried to do this but my answer is wrong. ( The computer does not take it ) d) What is the rocket's total displacment during the entire flight? The answer is zero, but can anybody explain why?

Russia and China have been aggressively pursuing the development of hypersonic weapons compared to the US. In an attempt to bridge this gap, the US Air Force is planning to equip its Cold-War-era B-1 bombers with hypersonic weaponry until its super-advanced B-21 stealth bomber is ready for induction. The B-1B Lancer is a multi-role, long-range bomber. It can fly intercontinental missions without refueling and can also penetrate current and potential advanced enemy defenses. This Cold War-era bomber was originally designed to carry nuclear weapons onboard. Throughout 1991, the B-1 was a part of the single integrated operational plan (SIOP) and served its nuclear deterrence role under the same. The conversion of the B-1B to a conventional role was a gradual process that began in 1993. The conversion was completed in October 1997. The bomber is capable of performing a wide variety of missions, including missions that require a conventional weapons carrier for theater operations. The B-1B’s low radar cross-section is complemented by electronic jamming equipment, infrared countermeasures, radar location, and warning systems. Together, they form an integrated defense system for the aircraft. US Approves First Overseas Squadron Of F-35A Jets; F-35Bs Get Clearance To Operate From Japanese Carrier The bomber’s swing-wing design and turbofan engines grant it greater range and high speed at low levels. Additionally, they enhance the bomber’s survivability. Once the B-1B is airborne, the wings are positioned for the greatest cruise distance or high-speed penetration. The bomber has several world records for speed, payload, and distance to its credit. Hypersonic Missile Test The US plans to add hypersonic weapons to these mighty aircraft that are currently stationed at Dyess Air Force Base. This will essentially turn the B-1 into a ‘missile truck’. The Cold War-era external weapons carriage capability of the bomber will be reactivated to accommodate the new munitions. Reportedly, the work to reactivate the hardpoints of the B-1 has already begun. Six of the eight external hardpoints of the B-1 can be reinstated. It has been confirmed that the modified B-1 bomber will act as the launch platform for boost-glide vehicles as well as air-breathing missiles. This hints towards the potential utilization of the AGM-183A Air-launched Rapid-Response Weapon and the Hypersonic Air-Breathing Weapon Concept (HAWC), respectively. Boeing officials highlighted how the project will enhance the existing B-1 fleet, keeping the B-1 mission active till the Air Force transitions to the B-21 Raider. The bomber, which was earlier equipped for conventional combat, will not be dropping bombs like it used to but would send them at Mach speeds toward a distant target. How the plan shapes us will depend on the funding of the project, which won’t be cheap. The USAF is simultaneously also continuing on with its plans to withdraw the B-1 from service. Most recently, it sent 17 of the 60 remaining aircraft to the boneyard. The planned weapons upgrades for the B-1 are increasingly being viewed not just as a means of keeping up with the rapid hypersonic weapons developments in Russia and China, but also as a way of providing cover for the B-52H Stratofortress fleet. This fleet is currently undergoing improvements, which include an ambitious re-engining program that will see fleet availability reduced while it is underway. With the B-21 slated to enter the service from the mid-2020s, the B-1 might not actually have a lot of time left to serve. Frank Kendall, the US Air Force Secretary, recently announced that Northrop Grumman is producing five B-21 Raider stealth bomber test aircraft at its Palmdale facility in California, the Eurasian Times had earlier reported. The Raider program will utilize decades worth of experience gathered from the development and production of the B-2 stealth bomber. Open-source information regarding the program shows that the B-21 is likely to be a stealth aircraft. It will probably have systems in place to allow manned as well as unmanned flight. As an Unmanned Combat Aerial Vehicle (UCAV), it could be armed with a wide variety of deadly weapons. There is much speculation over the kind of sensors that will be onboard the Raider. It may come equipped with a sensor similar to the ones the F-35 boasts of. These are top-of-the-line electro-optical targeting systems that enhance the air-to-ground capabilities of the fighter. The first operational examples of the B-21 are expected to enter service at the Ellsworth Air Force Base in South Dakota, sometime in the mid-2020s. Until the development of the B-21, as well as the transition to this model, is complete, the B-1 bomber will be upgraded and lined up with hypersonic missiles.

High Performance Pigments Heliogen, Irgazin, Paliogen, Paliotol and Sicopal Aerospace coatings must perform in the harshest environments: Wide variations of heat and cold, exposure to fuels, chemicals and abrasion as well as rain, hail, and ultraviolet (UV) exposure put the paints to the test every day. BASF’s high performance pigments (HPPs) are used to excel in these challenging conditions. Particular suitability for aerospace coatings There are many key parameters for coating an aircraft, none more important than dry film thickness and overall coating weight. Excessive paint on a plane leads to extra weight and higher fuel costs. In order to overcome this concern, pigments are chosen that are high in hiding power (or opacity) while maintaining superior durability. BASF’s HPP products for aerospace provide the utmost in performance and value while covering the key color areas.

Nepal’s Tenzing-Hillary Lukla Airport, the main gateway to the Everest region, is considered to be the most dangerous airport in the world, and not without reason. Measuring only 1,500 feet, the runway doesn’t leave much wiggle room for pilot error. The runway is surrounded by sizeable mountains and the drop at the very end of the landing strip reaches almost 10,000 feet, so taking off from this airport is as sketchy as it gets. On Saturday, a twin-engine aircraft attempting to take off from Summit Air veered off the runway and hit a stationary helicopter, killing three people — the plane’s pilot and two police officers stationed near the helicopter. Four others were injured. According to The Washington Post, the four passengers and flight attendant on the plane are safe. As the weather and visibility were good, the cause of Saturday’s crash is not yet determined. Only experienced pilots — who have made at least 100 landings and takeoffs on short runways and have one year’s worth of experience in such conditions — are allowed to fly in and out of Tenzing-Hillary Lukla Airport, but even those requirements haven’t eliminated the possibility of crashes. Nepal’s flight safety record is so poor, the European Union has actually banned all Nepalese airlines from its airspace, according to the BBC.

WASHINGTON – A U.S. website said that North Korea appears to have brought in fuel in preparation for a rocket launch it plans to conduct in defiance of international sanctions this month. The North Korea-focused website is 38 North. It said commercial satellite imagery from Wednesday and Thursday shows tanker trucks at the launch pad, likely to fill fuel and oxidizer tanks. That doesn’t mean the North has starting filling a rocket with fuel, but is probably a preparatory step. It said that in the past, that has happened one to two weeks before blastoff. It is not yet clear if a rocket is on the launch pad. Less than a month after conducting a nuclear test, North Korea announced this week it plans to launch an Earth observation satellite between Feb. 8 and 25. - 1 person hurt after SUV, tanker truck crash on I-405 in Fountain Valley - Football playoffs: The fun, celebrations and drama from Saturday's regional finals - Final: Chris Paul's 20 assists help the Clippers beat New Orleans, 133-105 - Coroner identifies La Habra man fatally struck by minivan - Irvine Co. sues Museum House developer for unlawfully petitioning on company property

In 1933, Zygmunt Pulawski's first high wing, all-metal aircraft, the PZL P.7a, was designed and produced, with 150 entering service. With the outbreak of war, on 1st September 1939, the Polish Air Force's mostly obsolete aircraft were opposed by the German Luftwaffe equipped with over 1,300 modern fighters and bombers. 307 Squadron, like other night fighter squadrons (such as 410 Squadron Royal Canadian Air Force), flew Boulton-Paul Defiants, Bristol Beaufighters and finally de Havilland Mosquitoes. The Luftwaffe deployed Ju-87 Stuka dive bombers for ground support. After the fall of Poland, the Polish Air Force started to regroup in France. As of 2010, the fleet of Su-22s is in need of modernization to retain any value as a combat aircraft and its future is unclear.. Poland used only a small number of MiG-19s from 1959, in favour of the MiG-21 from 1963 onwards, which became its main supersonic fighter. The Polish Air Forces was formed in the United Kingdom and France during World War 2. On the first day alone, the Polish air force claimed 25 aircraft shot down for the loss of 10 of its own. As far as bombers are concerned, the Potez 25 and Breguet 19 were replaced by an all-metal monoplane, the PZL.23 Karaś, with 250 built from 1936 onwards, but by 1939 the Karas was outdated. “The Polish air force is destroyed in three days.”. While the Twenty Years of Independence (Niepodelosc) marked the re-emergence of Poland at the Treaty of Versailles, no other re-emerging nation received such gratuitous abuse and derision (Davies, 1981) from diplomats and politicians across Europe. Mieczyslaw Medwecki of the 2nd Krakow Air Regiment as he was taking off in his P.11. The bombers, grouped in nine escadres of the Bomber Brigade, attacked armoured ground columns but suffered heavy losses. Note that Polish mobilization (excluding improvised units, which were not planned) ended on 14.09.1939. There were 445 aircraft in combat units, with additional aircraft in reserve or training units. In 1954, the Polish Air Force was merged with the Air Defence Force, creating the Air and Country Air Defence Forces (Wojska Lotnicze i Obrony Przeciwlotniczej Obszaru Kraju – WLiOPL OK), a military organisation composed of both flying and anti-aircraft units. The Poles were not surprised. For example, on Sept. 2 prowling Bf.109s discovered a camouflaged airfield near Lodz and strafed several aircraft on the ground, setting fuel stores ablaze. In combat badges (for at least 7 flights in combat conditions) the laurel wreath is green. During the invasion of Poland by Nazi Germany in 1939, 70% of its aircraft were destroyed. Still, the satellite airfields allowed the majority of Polish combat aircraft to escape destruction on the ground. But of course in fact it never ended as planned, because it was interrupted by German air and ground military actions.

On 1 September 1939, at the beginning of the invasion of Poland, all the Polish combat aircraft had been dispersed to secondary airfields, contrary to a commonly-held belief, based on German propaganda, that they had all been destroyed by bombing at their air bases. , On 11 December 2014 Polish officials signed a contract with the United States for the purchase of 70 AGM-158 Joint Air to Surface Stand off Missile, for US$250 million. Despite this, the highly-trained Polish pilots fought well, and in the brief campaign shot down 126 enemy aircraft. Military aviation in Poland started shortly after the country regained its independence after World War I, in November 1918. Click & Collect. A Polish Air Force PZL P.11, pictured in 1939. In total in 1918-1924 there were 2160 aircraft in the Polish Air Force and naval aviation (not all in operable condition), in which there were 1384 reconnaissance aircraft and 410 fighters. Here a very interesting table taken from the article by Rafał Białkowski (pages 10 … Part of the Polish Air Force was destroyed in the campaign; the surviving aircraft were either captured or withdrawn to Romania, Hungary, Lithuania, Latvia, Slovenia or Sweden, whose air forces subsequently employed these aircraft for their own use (in the case of Romania until 1956). Polish khaki FS 34088 This was the basic camouflage colour for the upper surfaces of aircrat produced in the 1930s, such as PZL 37 Los, PZL 23 Karas, P.11c, RWD-14 Czapla, PWS-33 Wyzel, PZL-38 Wilk and more. The Soviet Union had just formed a pact with the Nazis and invaded Poland from the east in order to secure its share of the spoils. The main fighter-bomber and ground attack aircraft after 1949 was the Il-10 (a training version, the UIl-10, entering service in 1951). As Germany launched its unprovoked invasion early in the morning on Sept. 1, 1939, it made possibly the first attempt to wipe out an opposing air force on the ground by surprise attack — a strategy most famously executed by Israel during the 1967 Six Day War. © Copyright 2020 Center for the National Interest All Rights Reserved. Poland Post WW2 Polish Army in … Still, the Poles were planning to mount a rearguard defense on the Romanian border while they awaited a shipment of modern fighters from England and France. The Germans considered a massive opening attack on Warsaw, but bad weather forced them to attack alternative targets. In 1962, the WLiOPL OK were separated back again into their two original component bodies: the Air Force (Wojska Lotnicze) and the Country Air Defence Force (Wojska Obrony Powietrznej Kraju). These planes … During the mobilization waves of March and August of that year, all peace-time units were deployed to airfields throughout the country and attached to respective commands of Air Force, Naval Air Service and squadrons supporting each of the Polish armies. In 2014 it consisted of roughly 16,425 military personnel and about 475 aircraft, distributed among ten bases throughout Poland. The next day, the P.11s of the Pomeranian detachments pounced on a squadron of 16 Do-17s and destroyed nine for no loss. The acquisition of the US F-16 was not without fierce competition from European aerospace companies; the sale was hotly pursued by the French company Dassault, with their Mirage 2000 and by the Swedish company Saab, with the JAS 39 Gripen. Eastern Poland was attacked by Stalin's Soviet Russian forces barely 16 days later, as agreed in a clause in the German-Russian peace treaty concluded in August and after the defeat of the Polish forces, the country was divided between the two agressors. After political upheaval and the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991, and a consequent reduction in the state of military anxiety in the whole of Europe, the Polish Air Force saw reductions in size. In 1939, Poland ordered 160 MS-406s and 10 Hawker Hurricane fighters from abroad, but they were not delivered before the outbreak of war.

In 2004, the only remaining combat aircraft flown by the WLiOP were the MiG-29 and the Su-22. A domestic ground attack variant of the Lim-5M was developed as the Lim-6bis in 1964. Warsaw’s air arm resisted effectively for nearly a week — and, at reduced capacity, continued fighting for more than two weeks. Only about 20 pre-war photographs of Polish Air Force planes are known. It was the only unit operating the C.714 at the time. The Luftwaffe’s anti-airfield campaign did boast a few successes. Meanwhile, the P.23s and P.37s of the Polish air force concentrated on hammering the columns of German Panzer tanks that had pierced the Polish army’s defenses and were rapidly overrunning the country. On July 29, 1939, František received an offer to settle in Poland and join the Polish Air Force, an offer which he accepted. £5.99. In the aftermath of the presidential Tu-154 crash in 2010 and later Polish-led investigation, the 36th Special Aviation Regiment, responsible for transporting the President and the Polish Government, was disbanded, while the defense minister resigned. On Sept. 5, Bf.109s destroyed three P.11s attempting to take off and another two in the air near the aerodrome at Widzew. Initially, its air force consisted of mostly German and Austrian aircraft, such as the Fokker D.VII, Oeffag D.III and Albatros J.I, captured from the former Central Axis Powers. Until July 2004 it was officially known as Wojska Lotnicze i Obrony Powietrznej (literally: Flight-and-Air Defence Forces). Finally, two twin-engine medium bombers — the older, pencil-thin Do-17 and the heavy-lifting He-111, famous for its all-glass nose — bombed cities and military installations during the Polish campaign. Polish naval aviation used the Lublin R-XIII on floats. Not a huge number. A new unit, the 1st Air Base, replaced the 36th regiment. Inventory of armored fighting vehicles on September 1, 1939: Polish Air Force; Polish Navy. By 1935, most were replaced by the PZL P.11 which was only a slight upgrade. All Polish F-16s can carry modern US precision ordnance, ranging from the JDAM/JSOW to the latest in export-certificate-authorized air-to-air weaponry (including the AIM-120C-5 and AIM-9X). Until Summer 1939 the Polish Air Force was organised into air regiments. But as German tank columns advanced deeply into Poland, Polish units had no choice but to evacuate one base after another. , On 27 February 2014 Poland signed a €280 million contract with Alenia Aermacchi for 8 M-346 Master advanced training jets. In 2014 it consisted of roughly 16,425 military personnel and about 475 aircraft, distributed among ten bases throughout Poland. From 1951 onwards, the Polish Air Force was equipped with Yak-23 jet fighters and MiG-15 jets, along with a training version, the MiG-15 UTI, and later, in 1961, the MiG-17. Its final version, the PZL P.24, was built for export only and was bought by four countries. The bomber squadrons were initially equipped with Fairey Battles and Vickers Wellingtons. 303 Squadron became the most efficient RAF fighter squadron at that time. Many Polish pilots also flew individually in other RAF squadrons. That’s a Hell of a lot more than three days. WW2 Polish Army hat badge 1939. The only complete unit created before the German attack on France was the GC I/145 fighter squadron, flying Caudron C.714 light fighters. A great number of pilots and aircrew managed to escape to France and then to Britain, where they played a significant part in the defence of the United Kingdom against Nazi invasion, during the Battle of Britain. Hundreds of Luftwaffe bombers came to the rescue of the retreating Wehrmacht. The conflict nonetheless began inauspiciously for Polish aviation, when at 4:45 in the morning, a German Stuka shot down Capt. The fighters were grouped into 15 escadres; five of them constituted the Pursuit Brigade, deployed in the Warsaw area. The Germans did not reciprocate, however, machine-gunning several parachuting Poles. Also the Mil Mi-14, an amphibious helicopter, and the Mil Mi-6, both used as transports. A number of helicopters were used by the Polish Army: the SM-1 (a Mil Mi-1 manufactured under licence), which was a multirole helicopter, in operation since 1956; the Mil Mi-4, multirole, since 1958; the PLZ SM-2, multirole, since 1960; the Mil Mi-2 and Mil Mi-8 (later also Mil Mi-17), multirole, since 1968 and the Mil Mi-24, a combat helicopter, since 1976. MiG-21s were finally withdrawn from service in 2003. Certainly Germany’s superiority in the air was very effective in destroying industrial and urban centres, demoralising the Polish population and supporting manoeuvres on the ground. This chart covers the colours of Polish Air Force between 1919 and 1939. In 1949, the Li-2sb transport aircraft was adapted into a bomber and in 1950, Poland received Petlyakov Pe-2 and Tupolev Tu-2 bombers from the Soviet Union along with USB-1 and USB-2 training bombers. With the outbreak of war, on 1st September 1939, the Polish Air Force's 300 obsolete aircraft were opposed by the German Luftwaffe equipped with over 1,300 modern fighters and bombers. Poland was invaded by Nazi Germany on 1 September 1939 and this invasion set off World War II. As an observation and close reconnaissance plane, Polish escadres used the slow and easily damaged Lublin R-XIII, and later the RWD-14 Czapla. Unfortunately, only about 30 Łoś A bombers (single tailfin) and 70 Łoś B (twin tailfin) bombers had been delivered before the Nazi invasion. By 1939, the P.11 was several generations behind. The following is the order of battle of the Polish Air Force prior to the outbreak of the Polish Defensive War of 1939. In 1938 the Polish factory PZL designed a modern twin-engine medium bomber, the PZL.37 Łoś (Elk). This, of course, is simply untrue. Poland was under German and Austro-Hungarian occupation until the armistice, but the Poles started to take control as the Central Powers collapsed. The German Luftwaffe had 1300 modern aircraft at its disposal, but in a short campaign the Polish pilots gave a good account of themselves, shooting down 126 German planes. Following the invasion and fall of Poland in September 1939, many Polish servicemen and women made their way through France, Russia and other countries to Britain or British territories in the Middle East. The Polish Air Force became the first air force equipped with planed constructed entirely with metal. Well-planned preemptive air strikes are credited with crippling the Polish air force (although it wasn’t destroyed) and paving the way for a rapid infantry advance. These planes were first used by the Polish Air Force in the Polish-Ukrainian War in late 1918, during combat operations centered around the city of Lwów (now Lviv). 318 Polish Fighter-Reconnaissance Squadron, No. Military aviation in free Poland started even before the officially recognised date of regaining independence (11 November 1918). On 14 November 2016 the Defense Ministry ordered two Gulfstream G550 VIP planes. 663 Squadron (air observation/artillery spotting) flew Auster AOP IIIs and Vs. After the war, all equipment was returned to the British, but only some of the pilots and crews actually returned to Poland, with many settling in the United Kingdom, some of whom returned to Poland in 1989 after the fall of communism. Tensions had been high enough that Polish air force units had mobilized a full week before the war. In September 1939, the Polish Air Force although heavily outnumbered by the Luftwaffe fought with distinction. Polish Air Force VIP Unit Formally Disbanded. The Polish Air Forces contributed to the Allies victory in air operations in the Battle of Britain and other battles.

In 1939, the Polish air force relied entirely on domestically-produced aircraft but devoted just $2 in funding per capita to air power, compared to the $100 per capita Germany allocated. Just before the war, some Italian torpedo planes, the CANT Z.506, were ordered, but only one was delivered, and it was without armament.

Seven reconnaissance- and 12 observation escadres, deployed to particular armies, were used primarily for reconnaissance. The current aviator badge of the Polish Air Force has been in use since the 1920s. Unsuccessful in their defense of their homeland, thousands of PAF fliers and groundcrew eventually escaped to England. Along with the Polish People's Army (Ludowe Wojsko Polskie) in the USSR, the Polish People's Air Force (Ludowe Lotnictwo Polskie) was created, in defence of the Soviet Union against Nazi invasion. The Polish Air Force was destroyed on the ground in the first two days of September 1939.

Flying at low altitudes, the bombers suffered heavy losses from German fighters and anti-aircraft guns — and even flak from Polish troops, who assumed all overhead aircraft were German. Four Polish squadrons were formed: The two Polish fighter squadrons first saw action in the third phase of the Battle of Britain in August 1940, with much success; the pilots were battle-hardened and Polish flying skills had been well learned from the invasion of Poland. £35.00.

After the Polish-Soviet War ended in 1921, most of the worn out World War I aircraft were gradually withdrawn and from 1924 the air force started to be equipped with new French aircraft. £80.00. He was awarded the Polish Air Force Medal and 2 Barrs. After the surrender of France, many of these pilots managed to escape to Britain to continue the fight against the Luftwaffe. The Polish Air Force fought the longest of all the Allied air forces, flying combat from 1 September 1939 to 8 May 1945. In the war that began on 1 September 1939 air power played a crucial role from the start. Most pilots, after the Soviet invasion of Poland on September 17, escaped via Romania and Hungary to continue fighting throughout World War II in allied air forces, first in France, then in Britain, and later also the Soviet Union. Later, the Polish Air Force received 37 MiG-23s (1979) and 12 MiG-29s (1989). Somehow the authors of this book have been able to find hundreds of these photographs showing Polish aircraft. Polish P.23s and P.37s flew in support of the ground attack, while the Poznan Army’s own fighters provided air cover, shooting down 32 aircraft over the course of the campaign. At the end of the war, about 19,400 Poles served in the Polish Air Forces. In 1939, the German Luftwaffe was unquestionably the most advanced air force the world. Not a huge number. The first two Masters arrived in Poland accompanied by Team Iskry on November 14, 2016. With the outbreak of war, on 1st September 1939, the Polish Air Force’s 300 obsolete aircraft were opposed by the German Luftwaffe equipped with over 1,300 modern fighters and bombers. Between June 2010 and December 2017 most official flights were served by two leased Embraer E-175 operated by the LOT Polish Airlines. That’s exactly what Nazi propaganda reported after the German conquest of Poland in 1939. After being overrun during the early Blitzkrieg in September 1939, and later in France in 1940, the Polish Air Force - flying British and American made fighters and bombers out of England in their own units - made a tremendous contribution to the Allied air victory. On 31 March 2017 a deal with Boeing Company was signed to supply two Boeing Business Jet 2 and one Boeing 737-800 for the head of state and the government transport. Conceived primarily to support the army on the ground, the air force had one each independent fighter and bomber brigade and spread out the rest of its aircraft in mixed detachments assigned to ground formations. The Polish reputation for chivalry was on display as Warsaw’s pilots refrained from shooting the parachutes of downed Germans. The design was followed by 30 improved PZL P.11a aircraft and a final design, the PZL P.11c, was delivered in 1935 and was a respectable fighter for its time; 175 entered service and it remained the only Polish fighter until 1939, by which time foreign aircraft design had overtaken it. The Germans hit the airfield in Rakowice on Sept. 1, destroying 28 aircraft — almost all of them outdated airframes no longer in service. £1.30 postage.

After the war, these returned to Poland and gave birth to the air force of the People's Republic of Poland. Based on the book Modelarska Kolorystyka by Jaroslaw Pacewicz. But due to rapid technology, it became obsolete by 1939. In revenge, Medwecki’s wingman, Lt. Wladek Gnys, shot down two Do-17s — the first Allied kills. Though the German Bf.109 and Bf.110 escorts completely outclassed the P.11s, the Poles were still able to break through to the bombers. On Sept. 13 Bf.109s discovered another secret airfield at Hutniki. The Yak-12 was used as a multirole aircraft from 1951, the An-2 from 1955 and subsequently the Wilga-35 P. Transport aircraft used by the Polish Air Force during this period included: the Il-14 (first in service in 1955), the Il-18 (first in service in 1961), the An-12B (first in service in 1966), the An-26 (first in service in 1972), the Yak-40 (first in service in 1973) and the Tupolev Tu-154. A Polish lieutenant named Skalski, after forcing down a German Hs.123 bomber, even landed nearby to make sure his wounded opponent got medical treatment. The Polish Air Force (Siły Powietrzne, literally "Air Forces") is the aerial warfare military branch of the Polish Armed Forces. "Vehicle and aircraft holdings within the scope of the Conventional Armed Forces in Europe Treaty 2014", "The Polish Air Force has received the first two M-346 Master advanced jet trainers", "Polish gov't signs deal to buy Black Hawks for army", "Poland brings Soviet era Mig-29's back into service", "Polish air force receives first upgraded MiG-29", "Otoczyliśmy opieką najbliższych zmarłego pilota", "Czwarty utracony MiG-29. The Germans shot down four P.23s and strafed several P.37s on the ground. Polish Government sets in motion measures to upgrade its VIP aircraft fleet as Foreign Affairs Minister visits Dublin. On Sept. 3, the Germans hit the P.37 base at Malaszewicze three times, burning down its hangars and most of the bombers belonging to the resident training units. The Bomber Brigade of the Polish Air Force 81 sented a mimeographed work to the historical Committee of the Polish Armed Forces.2 This report was in two sections: one part dealing with September, 1939, the other with the Polish Air Force in France and the United Kingdom. Armed with just two machine guns, the P.11 was more than 100 miles per hour slower than the 109 was. But when the Germans came into Poland in 1939 they brought with them lots of cameras and film which could be used by the Nazi's to show the world what they were doing. This aircraft was used in numerous variants from MiG-21F-13, through MiG-21PF and MF to MiG-21bis. The Polish Air Force can trace its origins to the months following the end of World War I in 1918. Despite this, the highly-trained Polish pilots fought well, and in the brief campaign shot down 126 enemy aircraft. £8.00. Also contained in the contract are upgrades to the fleet of Polish F-16s to be completed by Lockheed Martin. The pilots were regarded as fearless, sometimes bordering on reckless. But it turns out Nazi propaganda wasn’t entirely honest. , On 25 January 2019, the Polish government signed a contract for the procurement of four Black Hawk helicopters, intended to be used by the Polish special forces. The Polish air force also employed hundreds of light RWD and PWS-26 liaison aircraft to help army commanders communicate and spy on enemy troop movements. , When the Polish-Soviet War broke out in February 1920, the Polish Air Force used a variety of former German and Austro-Hungarian, as well as newly acquired western-made Allied aircraft. As World War II progressed, a further twelve Polish squadrons were created in the United Kingdom: The fighter squadrons initially flew Hurricanes, then switched to Spitfires, and eventually to North American Mustangs. See more ideas about Lotnictwo, Samolot, Samoloty wojskowe. Initially, the Polish air force consisted of mostly German and Austrian aircraft, left by former occupants or captured from them, mostly during the Greater Poland Uprising. Polish squadrons were deployed to reserve airfields following the mobilization on 30 and 31 August, and played an active role in the campaign till September 17th, when the Red Army invaded Poland from the east and the evacuation order was given. In 1950 also, the Yak-17 fighter came into service, as did the Ilyushin Il-12 transport and the Yak-18 trainer. Basic Colours of the Polish Air Force in 1939 and the Immediate Pre-war Period. The Polish bomber force was not as obsolete as the fighters were. Based at Deblin airbase, the Germans attacked the facility on September 2, before Polish planes could launch in retaliation. The German Luftwaffe certainly made an effort to destroy Polish aviation on the ground — but the stubborn Poles refused to just roll over. The badge is called gapa and represents silver eagle in flight with gold laurel wreath in the bill. Large fleets of German bombers pounded Warsaw from the first day of the invasion. Throughout the 1990s, Poland had not purchased any new combat aircraft and only managed to acquire further MiG-29s from the Czech Republic in 1995 and from Germany in 2004. On 2 November 1918 pilot Stefan Bastyr performed the first combat flight of Polish aircraft from Lviv. Nevertheless, success rates were very high in comparison to UK and Empire pilots. Following the fall of France in 1940, Polish units were formed in the United Kingdom, as a part of the Royal Air Force and known as the Polish Air Force (PAF). But the Luftwaffe’s massive intervention reversed the tide of battle. Re: Polish Air Force order of battle 01.09.1939. Make offer - WW2 Polish Air Force buttons made in Gaunt London.

“We made history, a new era begins.” “It’s incredible”. The first comment is that of NASA, the second of Trump, both excited about the launch of Demo-2, the first all-American mission launched since 2011 from US soil. Up to 40 minutes before departure, large black clouds passed menacingly over the launch pad 39 / A of Cape Canaveral, the historic one of the Apollo and Shuttle launches. Then the sky brightened and NASA gave the green light to the first human mission carried out by a private company, Elon Musk’s Space X, to bring two American astronauts into orbit heading to the International Space Station (ISS). At 21.22 (Italian time) the Falcon 9 rocket with the Dragon capsule, in which the two veterans Robert Behnken and Douglas Hurley, arrived at the base of the launch pad with flaming SUVs, were closed in their science fiction suits designed by a Hollywood costume designer Tesla (Musk-owned company), got up easily in the finally blue sky of Florida. The launch had been suspended on Wednesday 17 minutes after the departure due to bad weather, despite Donald Trump’s presence at the Kennedy Space Center to witness the return of the first stars and stripes crew from the US territory to the space since 8 July 2011, when the Atlantis shuttle flew for the last time. Since then, US astronauts have had to use Russian Soyuz spacecraft, which depart from the Baikonur base in Kazakhstan. There was also Trump The president and his deputy Pence are also back today to see the launch, only the first lady Melania was missing. Now the two astronauts – Behnken 49, Hurley 53 – have 19 hours of travel ahead of them before hooking up the ISS, about 400 kilometers above the Earth’s surface. “Let’s light this candle,” Hurley said a few seconds before departure, using the same phrase pronounced by Alan Shepard on May 5, 1961, the first American to fly into space on a suborbital mission with the Freedom 7 capsule of the Mercury program. The return of the Falcon 9 rocket About 9 minutes after launch, the Falcon 9 rocket landed perfectly on the floating platform off the coast of Florida. One of the characteristics of Space X, in fact, is the reusability of the carrier, a fact that greatly lowers the costs of the missions. Twelve minutes after the start, the second stage also came off, leaving the Dragon in a waiting orbit at a height of 200 km. May 30, 2020 (change May 30, 2020 | 9:55 pm) © RESERVED REPRODUCTION

Michael Gold, Bigelow Aerospace’s director of business growth talks to The Economist about funding challenges, biotech in space and why Bigelow thinks Obama’s plans make sense. Space Frontier Foundation Date Released: Wednesday, August 19, 2009 In the wake of the Augustine Commission’s declaration that the troubled Ares rocket program is unaffordable under any realistic budget projections, the Space Frontier Foundation renewed its call to immediately cancel the costly dead-end project and replace it with multiple commercial vehicles. “Three years ago we published Unaffordable and Unsustainable, declaring that government must henceforth ‘buy all crew and cargo services with a destination of low Earth orbit [from] commercial providers using privately-owned and operated spaceships’,” said Foundation co-Founder Bob Werb. “For over a decade, we’ve said that continuing to try and develop new government rockets costs too much and delays human exploration beyond Earth orbit,” added co-Founder Rick Tumlinson. “Pouring more money into Ares now is the equivalent of giving a taxpayer-funded I.V. to a corpse. Instead, let’s use those funds to give birth to a new and vibrant space transport industry that might actually make money and open the space frontier to everyone.” “Derivatives of proven commercial launch systems, and new ones under development, could meet any reasonable need for heavy lift,” said Foundation co-Founder, James Muncy. “The barrier is psychological: NASA will have to stop pretending it can design cost-effective launch vehicles and instead focus on exploration systems that fit on the launch vehicles taxpayers can really afford.” Werb concluded: “The choice is clear. We can continue funding an overpriced, government space limousine, or we can kick-start a whole new industry that will reduce government’s costs and create new jobs. The tools of private sector innovation and competition offer our best and only chance to have affordable and sustainable human space exploration.” Excalibur Almaz Limited (EA), an international space exploration company, today announced plans to open up a new era of private orbital space flight for commercial customers, using updated elements of the “Almaz” space system originally developed by JSC MIC NPO Mashinostroyenia (NPOM) of Russia. Realization of EA’s project with technical assistance from NPOM will allow regular access to and from space. This project joins Russian space technology expertise with an international private enterprise to create a commercial offering of orbital spaceflight services for global customers. EA plans to offer week-long orbital space flights beginning as early as 2013 – taking a big leap beyond the sub-orbital flight market targeted by most other private space companies. In addition to NPOM, other leading aerospace firms in the U.S., Europe and Japan will provide technical support for EA’s space flight operations The original Almaz space system technology, comprising reusable reentry vehicle (RRV) and space station, was successfully tested in flight by NPOM. Working with NPOM and its international contractors, EA is now updating the spacecraft to conduct crew and cargo space missions for private individuals, corporations, academic institutions and national governments. EA Founder and CEO Art Dula said, “Through cooperation with NPOM and with the support of leading space contractors around the world and an exceptionally strong management and advisory team, EA is in a unique position to initiate a new era of private orbital space exploration.” Cosmonaut Vladimir Titov, advisor to EA in Russia, said, “With this announcement, the dream of private orbital space exploration may become a reality in the very near future.” EA has ownership of several Almaz spacecraft, including reusable reentry vehicles (RRVs) and space stations. EA will tailor space missions to accommodate customer objectives including exploration, cargo transportation and experimentation. On selected missions, spacecraft and space stations would provide platforms for microgravity scientific experiments, potentially serving the needs of governments and academic institutions. EA’s spacecraft will consist of two parts: an RRV and an expendable service module to provide crewmembers with room to comfortably operate during spaceflight. EA will update the Almaz RRVs with flight-proven technologies where appropriate, while retaining tested legacy systems to ensure safety and economy of operation. A critical feature of the RRVs is their reusability, which will reduce logistical, overhead and program costs for commercial access to space. EA plans for its spacecraft to be compatible with a number of launch vehicles and capable of being launched from worldwide sites. In addition to NPOM, leading aerospace firms contracting with EA include Space Flight Operations (SFO), a subsidiary of United Space Alliance, of the U.S.; Paragon Space Development Corporation of the U.S.; Qwaltec of the U.S.; EADS Astrium Space Transportation of Europe; and Japan Manned Space Systems (JAMSS) of Japan. EA has also formed strategic alliances with academic institutions including Rice University of the U.S and the International Space University of France, and is an Industry Forum member of the National Space Biomedical Research Institute of the U.S. Established in 2005, EA is incorporated, headquartered and registered on the Isle of Man in the British Isles. EA’s support contractors are in Russia, Europe, Japan and the U.S. EA’s founders, executives and advisors include astronauts, cosmonauts and commercial aerospace business entrepreneurs. International Launch Services (ILS) successfully carried the AsiaSat 5 satellite into orbit today on an ILS Proton for Asia Satellite Telecommunications Company Limited (AsiaSat) of Hong Kong. This was the fourth commercial mission of the year for ILS and the sixth successful Proton launch of 2009. From contract signing to launch, the full integration of the AsiaSat 5 mission was completed in less than six months. The ILS Proton Breeze M launched from Pad 39 at the Baikonur Cosmodrome at 1:47 a.m. today local time (3:47 a.m. in Hong Kong, August 12, 19:47 GMT, August 11 and 3:47 p.m. EDT, August 11). After a 9 hour 15 minute mission, the Breeze M successfully released the AsiaSat 5 satellite, weighing over 3.7 metric tons, into geo-transfer orbit. This was the 347th launch for the Proton. The Proton Breeze M vehicle is developed and built by Khrunichev Research and Production Space Center of Moscow, Russia’s premier space manufacturer. Built by Space Systems/Loral, AsiaSat 5 will replace AsiaSat 2 at the orbital location of 100.5 degrees East. This new satellite with an enhanced pan Asian C-band footprint and high-power Ku-band beams over East Asia, South Asia, and an in-orbit steerable Ku beam, will provide advanced satellite services including television broadcast, telephone networks and VSAT networks for broadband multimedia services across the Asia Pacific. The satellite is based on the Space Systems/Loral 1300 platform, designed for a lifespan of 15 years. The station-keeping lifetime of the satellite may be even longer as a result of the performance of the ILS Proton launch vehicle. Frank McKenna, President of ILS said, “This full integration and successful launch on ILS Proton of AsiaSat 5 in less than six months was a focused team effort on behalf of ILS, Khrunichev, AsiaSat and Space Systems/Loral. This is the real value that ILS/Proton offers our customers and we are proud to have met AsiaSat’s demanding business imperative for the replacement strategy of AsiaSat 2.” “Launching AsiaSat 5 on ILS Proton was the best solution to meet our planned schedule for AsiaSat 2 replacement, to assure service continuity for all users on AsiaSat 2. We are most grateful for the diligence, professionalism and dedication demonstrated by ILS and Khrunichev to achieve on time delivery that is simply unmatched,” said Peter Jackson, Chief Executive Officer of AsiaSat. The Commercial Spaceflight Federation is pleased to announce the creation of the Suborbital Applications Researchers Group (SARG), composed of experienced scientists, researchers, and educators dedicated to furthering the research and education potential of suborbital reusable launch vehicles under development by the commercial spaceflight sector. The panel is chaired by Dr. S. Alan Stern of the Southwest Research Institute, a space scientist who previously served as head of the Science Mission Directorate at NASA Headquarters. The members of the Suborbital Applications Researchers Group (SARG) are aiming to increase awareness of commercial suborbital vehicles in the science and R&D communities, to work with policymakers to ensure that payloads can have easy access to these vehicles, and to further develop ideas for the uses of these vehicles for science, engineering, and education missions. “The innovative vehicles being developed by a wide range of commercial suborbital companies, including Armadillo Aerospace, Blue Origin, Masten Space Systems, Virgin Galactic, and XCOR Aerospace, represent valuable new capability for scientists, engineers, and educators,” said Alan Stern, Chairman of SARG. “Because some of these vehicles are approaching first flights in 2010 and 2011, it is crucial to start engaging with the broader scientific community as soon as possible to put payloads and scientists on these vehicles.” In addition to Dr. S. Alan Stern, SARG includes the following members: SARG has been officially formed as a coordination and advisory committee of the Commercial Spaceflight Federation (www.commercialspaceflight.org), with Matthew Isakowitz, Associate Director of the Commercial Spaceflight Federation, serving as Program Officer. The first meeting of SARG will occur August 18, in Boulder, Colorado. The mission of the Commercial Spaceflight Federation (CSF) is to promote the development of commercial human spaceflight, pursue ever higher levels of safety, and share best practices and expertise throughout the industry. CSF member organizations include commercial spaceflight developers, operators, and spaceports. The Commercial Spaceflight Federation is governed by a board of directors, composed of the member companies’ CEO-level officers and entrepreneurs. The Suborbital Applications Researchers Group (SARG) is a coordination and advisory committee of the Commercial Spaceflight Federation, composed of scientists and researchers dedicated to furthering the scientific potential of suborbital reusable launch vehicles under development by the commercial spaceflight sector. SARG will seek to increase awareness of commercial suborbital vehicles in the science, R&D, and education communities, work with policymakers to ensure that payloads can have easy access to these vehicles, and aim to generate new ideas for uses of these vehicles for science, engineering, and education missions. NASA’s Commercial Crew and Cargo Program is applying Recovery Act funds to stimulate efforts within the private sector to develop and demonstrate human spaceflight capabilities. These efforts are intended to foster entrepreneurial activity leading to job growth in engineering, analysis, design, and research, and to economic growth as capabilities for new markets are created.

To see the full list of the Next Step in Space Coalition members and learn more about the importance of commercial spaceflight please visit NextStepInSpace.com Space Exploration Technologies (SpaceX) anounced the successful completion of qualification testing for the Falcon 9 launch vehicle first stage tank and interstage. Testing took place at SpaceX’s Texas Test Site, a 300 acre structural and propulsion testing facility, located just outside of Waco, Texas. The first stage tank and interstage hardware were subjected to a proof test of 1.1 times the maximum expected operating pressure (MEOP), and a burst pressure proof test of 1.4 MEOP; qualifying both articles with a 1.4 factor of safety. The 1.4 factor of safety designation means that the first stage tank and the interstage can withstand 140 percent the maximum internal pressure expected during flight, and qualifies both pieces of hardware to meet human rating safety requirements, as defined by NASA. The first stage also passed this human rating milestone when subjected to structural bending tests. The testing regimen included over 150 pressurization cycles, exceeding the number of required life cycles by more than 100. In addition, the first stage and interstage were subjected to stiffness tests, maximum dynamic pressure loading and main engine cutoff conditions; all at expected values, as well as ultimate loads. “Falcon 9 continues to pass qualification testing in preparation for its first flight, scheduled for 2009,” said Elon Musk, CEO and CTO of SpaceX. “All hardware was designed to be man-rated, and these tests confirm that SpaceX is one step closer to flying humans on the Falcon 9/Dragon system.” Falcon 9′s first stage and interstage also passed ground wind qualification tests, critical for when the vehicle is vertical on the launch pad at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida. Both components were designed, built and tested by SpaceX. Google Lunar X PRIZE contender Odyssey Moon Limited today is announcing its partnership with the International Space School Education Trust (ISSET) and their customer Moonlink Ltd. of Yorkshire to put a British science instrument on the Moon. Moonlink has signed up with the International Space School Educational Trust (ISSET) to set aside one kilogram of payload capacity on Odyssey Moon’s “MoonOne” lunar lander, to be launched to the Moon in late 2012. Moonlink will be heading up a county wide competition driving innovation in schools, universities, and local industry in the form of a competition to design, build, and fly an experiment to the Moon. Chris Barber, director of ISSET, said: “It is a world-class opportunity to discover the unfound genius of Yorkshire. Also, importantly, the building of a lunar experiment in Yorkshire will increase jobs, together with research and development capabilities in the region.” The competition will be open to students from UK universities, colleges and high schools, with individual entries also invited from the public. Full-details regarding participation in the competition will be announced after summer. Gary Fawcett, chief executive of Link Telecom, one of the UK’s leading private sector sponsors of education-related initiatives, has been appointed Managing Director of Moonlink. “The project will put Yorkshire at the forefront of technological discovery in the UK and help increase both the prestige and confidence of the region,” he said. “It will provide spin-off technologies and business opportunities, raise the county’s technological and innovative profile, boost the self-esteem of the region and help create new employment opportunities.” Fawcett and Barber also aim to leverage the mission to increase research capabilities among Yorkshire universities and intensify student and pupil interest in STEM partnerships – a series of regional hubs that provide up-to-date information, support and advice to schools about quality science technology engineering and mathematics activities that enhance and enrich the curriculum. “Yorkshire is literally now leading the world in innovation,” said Odyssey Moon chairman Dr. Ramin Khadem. “We are thrilled to have ISSET and Moonlink onboard.” “This is a fantastic opportunity for students and an inspiration to all of us,” said Odyssey Moon CEO, Dr. Robert Richards. “Seeing a program like this makes me wish I was back at school as a student again. I hope this educational competition model catches on worldwide.”

DJI Inspire 3 looks ready for takeoff in leaked photo A new photo of what’s supposed to be DJI’s best filmmaking drone has leaked online. The nighttime image, shared by notable leaker OsitaLV over the weekend, gives us yet another sneak peek into the rumored Inspire 3 drone that’s expected to launch later this year around September. Two aircraft are visible in the photo, which has led to speculation that DJI may release two versions of the upcoming Inspire 3 – just like the company did with the Mavic 3 prosumer drone. Read: DJI rolls out Mavic 3 firmware update to fix IMU calibration issue And while this photo by itself may not reveal a whole lot about the professional drone, it’s probably the first time we are looking closely at an Inspire 3 which hasn’t been banged up by testers. We have previously seen the drone in a short video from a field test – that video was shared by leaker DealsDrone and corroborated by OsitaLV, wherein the latter explained that the drone would be compatible…

Following the presentation of our Avro RJ100 “Jumbolino” we now turn our attention to our Airbus A320 fleet, which consists of seven Airbus A319s with an average age of 14.4 years, 22 Airbus A320s with an average age of 12.7 years and seven Airbus A321s with an average age of 12.7 years. With a length of 33.8 metres, the A319 is the smallest in the Airbus family. In the SWISS version, this aircraft seats between 108 and 138 passengers over distances up to 3,000 km. This aircraft has a typical 3-3 seating layout with a Business and Economy Class configuration. It serves such destinations as London, Manchester, Nice, Paris and Amsterdam. Two CFM56 jet engines give the Airbus A319 a top speed of 850 kilometres per hour. Maximum take-off weight is 68,000 kg. Photos of all of our A319-112 aircraft can be seen on Flickr photo gallery. At 37.60 metres, the Airbus A320 is slightly less than four metres longer than its smaller relative. However, the A319 and A320 have the same wingspan, 34.10 metres, and stand the same height, 11.80 metres. For distances up to 3,650 km with full payload, SWISS uses the Airbus A320 with 136 to 168 seats in a two-class configuration. Two CFM56 engines, each capable of delivering 12,000 kg of thrust, power the aircraft. Aircraft of this type are used on flights within Europe – to such destinations as Belgrade, Prague, Vienna, Milan, Athens and Thessaloniki – and between Switzerland, Africa and the Near East. Photos of our complete A320-214 fleet can be viewed here. With a length of 44.5 metres, the Airbus A321 is the ‘big brother’ of the A320 family; it is seven metres longer than the Airbus A320. Its wingspan and height, however, are the same as the other family members. For short and medium distances with high passenger volumes, SWISS uses the Airbus A321 with 176 to 200 seats and a cargo capacity of 4.3 tonnes. Short and medium-haul routes on which passenger volume is comparatively high are served by this type. With its two CFM56 engines, each with 14,000 kg of thrust, the A321 is capable of the same top speeds as the A319 and A320 and has a range of 3,200 km at full payload. Photos of our A321 fleet can also been seen on Flickr. In our next Blog entry on the SWISS fleet we’ll focus on a bigger aircraft in the Airbus family.

Pakistan Air Force (PAF) has inaugurated the JF-17 Integration Facility in order to achieve self-reliance and indigenization. The chief guest of the ceremony was Air Chief Marshal Mujahid Anwar Khan, Chief of the Air Staff, Pakistan Air Force. The first batch of 8 dual seat JF-17 was launched. Ambassador of the People’s Republic of China Yao Jing and Executive Vice President, Aviation Industries of China (AVIC) Hao Zhaoping were in attendance. The facility is located at Pakistan Aeronautical Complex in Kamra, working under the Avionics Production Factory. The Maintenance, Repair, and Overhaul (MRO) site at PAC and an RD-93 engine overhaul capability at Air Engineering Depot 102 at PAF Base Faisal will make sure that there is full support for the JF-17. For this Pakistan was dependent on China and the subsystems from European countries including France and Turkey. Pakistan can assemble, install, test and qualify advanced weapon packages and electronics subsystems. It seems clear that PAF wants to strengthen its arsenal by the local weaponry subsystems and custom electronics for its JF-17s. As trial tests first phase is done in China, Pakistan is looking to complete the integration and final flight tests at its own facilities. The main of the facility is to integrate the avionics and weapon systems of choice to JF-17s. PAF has already completed the stand-off weapon (SOW) integration in 2017 and 2019. By adding the dedicated integration facility, the air force has further stepped up the game. In another article, we informed our readers that the Pakistan Air Force (PAF) has launched the first batch of “08 dual seat JF-17” aircraft from Pakistan Aeronautical Complex (PAC) in Kamra which is quite a remarkable achievement.

The Cassini spacecraft spent just over 13 years in the Saturn system, studying this massive, gaseous planet, its rings and its moons. Thanks to gravity assists from Saturn’s moon Titan, the probe was able to change its orbit around the planet many times, and view the planet from various angles. In total, the probe sent back more than 450,000 images of the Saturn system. That’s a lot to sift through, but we think these are some of the most spectacular images Cassini took of Saturn. This image shows a huge storm churning through the atmosphere in Saturn’s northern hemisphere on Feb. 25, 2011.

Design and development The ASW 17 was designed by Gerhard Waibel, supposedly as a development of the Schleicher ASW 12, but was an entirely new design. The wing is in four sections. The camber-changing flaps are connected to the ailerons. It has Schempp-Hirth airbrakes plus an optional tail parachute. It first flew on 17 July 1971 and 55 were built before production stopped in 1976. In addition to the regular ASW 17, there is an ASW 17S which was a 21-metre span version built in 1973 but this was later reduced to 20m. The ASW 17X was also a single aircraft that was built in 1976 with 19-metre span. One other was modified to 23 metres after production. ASW 17s came second in the World Gliding Championships in 1972, third in 1974. George Lee won in 1976 and in 1978 in an ASW 17. Hans-Werner Grosse broke several world records in his ASW 17 including: the record goal flight at 1,231 km in 1974, the triangular distance record 1,063 km in 1977 and then again at 1,306.9 km, and the 1,250 km speed triangle at 133.24 km/h in 1980. Karl Striedeck broke another record by a flight of 1,634.7 km out and return in 1977 in an ASW 17.

Astronauts and engineers have successfully concluded tests on a computer-generated virtual laboratory that will allow researchers -- located anywhere in the world -- to study potentially dangerous aircraft and spacecraft situations without risking human life. In the past, pilots, aerospace engineers and scientists who were directly involved in tests had to be physically present in a building that houses the world's largest flight simulator at NASA's Ames Research Center, Moffett Field, CA. "The lab can enable research organizations and many other parties to collaborate long-distance for the first time," said the lab's project manager, Tom Alderete. "It could also be used by universities, research laboratories and industry to develop a wide variety of products beyond the aerospace field," he said. Ames' simulator is able to move airplane and spaceship cockpits in all directions, including 60 feet vertically and 40 feet horizontally. There are five interchangeable cockpits that are used to simulate the Space Shuttle, helicopters, airplanes and other aerospace vehicles. Researchers study aerospace controls, guidance, cockpit displays, automation and handling qualities of existing or proposed aircraft or other vehicles. The simulator creates a convincing environment for a pilot and is controlled by computers programmed to represent each aircraft. Computers calculate correct aircraft response when a pilot changes simulator cockpit controls. In real time, responses by the simulator include cockpit motion, images in the windshield, sounds and control readouts. Simulations are monitored from control labs at Ames. "From a place miles away, you can use the hand controller to 'walk around' a three-dimensional, computerized world that represents our test facilities here at Ames. You can even move into the cockpit," said Julie Mikula, of Ames' simulations operations branch. "A teleresearcher can see a computer animation of the cockpit's motion and can even view what the pilot sees out of the cockpit," she added. Any kind of a vehicle -- a car, boat, plane, train, or spaceship -- can be simulated and "recreated" practically any place around the world, said Mikula. The virtual laboratory's data communications are enabled by the NASA Research and Education Network. According to the network's project manager, Christine Falsetti, "Experience with real time computer files that the virtual lab uses also helps us learn how to better use computer networks to help do research in the future." The virtual laboratory and the "world" it creates exists partly in computer memory and other physical gear. In June, astronauts made simulated Space Shuttle landings using a huge motion simulator at Ames while NASA engineers in Houston monitored the sessions using the three-dimensional "world" that includes video screens, computer video, two-way video conferencing, shared whiteboards, remote data access and even a pilot's out-the-window scene. Future uses of the laboratory also being considered include design of new spacecraft and training for astronauts. Materials provided by National Aeronautics And Space Administration.

1 August 2023 CHARLESTON, S.C. (AP) — A helicopter belonging to a county sheriff’s office crashed near the Charleston International Airport in South Carolina on Tuesday, prompting the airport to temporarily suspend commercial flights. The Charleston County Sheriff’s Office said on the social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter, that crews were on the scene. The pilot was the only person on the helicopter and suffered “non-life-threatening injuries,” authorities said. Charleston County Aviation Authority Executive Director Elliott Summey told WCIV-TV that the helicopter’s pilot anticipated the crash and maneuvered the aircraft to the middle of the airfield before the helicopter went down. Summey told the television station that the helicopter is “in shambles.” The airport posted on X on Tuesday afternoon to say commercial flights have been temporarily suspended “due to an ongoing incident.” “Travelers are asked to check in with their individual airlines before arriving at CHS for their flights,” airport officials wrote. A Charleston International Airport administrative representative had no further information to share with The Associated Press. The Associated Press left a voicemail and sent an email to the Charleston County Sheriff’s Office seeking more information.

STOURBRIDGE, England – AVIATION – Straightline Aviation Ltd, operators of Lockheed Martin’s revolutionary new Hybrid aircraft, is specifically targeting the Chinese and Asia-Pacific markets. The company, which already has offices in the UK and US is now looking to expand its global presence with a base in the region. The hybrid aircraft is being heralded as a game changing aviation milestone and is the result of hundreds of millions of US dollars of research and development being focused on reducing the costs of moving freight, particularly in remote locations. The Hybrid aircraft combines technology from fixed wing aircraft, helicopters and hovercraft and does not need an airport to operate from. It can land on almost any unprepared surface including, water, ice or sand. The first aircraft will carry up to twenty tons of cargo with a range of 1400 miles, with 30% less fuel burn and 80% less carbon emissions than traditional heavy lift helicopters. With climate change impacting northern parts of North America, this type of aircraft also likely has potential for northern operations. In Northern Ontario, the winter road season is increasingly shorter, and has over recent years experiences greater load restrictions. Having long range aircraft that can land on any surface could be a major game-changer in Canada’s north. Straightline Aviation has already signed a US$850m memorandum of understanding to provide Canadian mining company, Quest Rare Minerals, with seven aircraft and having had significant expressions of interest from customers and investors in the Asia-Pacific region, believes that the Chinese market is ideally suited for the deployment of the Hybrid for similar applications. The company has appointed Francis Chiew as Managing Director – Asia-Pacific to spearhead development. Francis has extensive experience working across the region and was instrumental in bringing airship operations into China, Hong Kong, Singapore, Indonesia, India, Australia and Japan during his time with Virgin Lightships. He joins a team of other senior former Virgin executives including founding directors Mike Kendrick, Mark Doreyand David Tait who have unparalleled experience in growing and developing global aviation businesses. The Chairman of Straightline, Brian Kessler, who has over thirty years of experience working in China, stated, “This new aircraft is ideally suited for operations in China and will revolutionise the way we handle freight. Chinais a vast country not only comprising large hubs and congested commercial centres but also many remote locations. The Lockheed Hybrid can service main business centres but can also, economically and effectively, move freight to more remote areas, without the need for expensive infrastructure like roads and airports.” The Lockheed Hybrid is uniquely suited for China’s ‘Silk Road’ initiatives where roads and airports are not available. He added, “I have enjoyed my experience in China, working with innovative and technology led companies and I am sure that the area will embrace the advantages that this new aircraft offers.”

Don Feight specializes in planes that most other artists do not paint. His series of Navy and Coast Guard prints fills a niche for many pilots who cannot find a print of their Special Plane. Don and Paula Feight established his studio in 1994 inspired by the aerospace and aviation art Don was producing at his job at Lockheed Martin. Don has worked at Lockheed Martin for over thirty-six years as a graphic artist. Airplanes have been a lifelong passion from his early years living on Air Force bases, model building, and drawing airplanes, through the eventual building and flying of a homebuilt Glasair RG aircraft later as an adult. Much of the inspiration for Don's aviation art comes from his experiences as a pilot. The low-level flight over the water in "Madman," the blue hole in the dark storm clouds in "Lightning," and the spinning ground in "Performance" are a few examples of experiences of actual flying used to produce aviation art images. He also does aerobatic and Nostalgic prints - and his two new releases "Beaver Tales" and "Cub Country" are two of my favorite prints.

The vast majority of the aircraft today getting powered simply by turbofan search engines, we can easily lay almost all our questions to rest in terms of reliability is worried. They are created to provide any trouble- totally free service in recent times, but right now there always stays a issue of ‘if’. When that develops several 1000s of feet up inside the air, there stays nothing to accomplish but wish. But, you might avoid that when you can diagnose powerplant malfunctions prior to deciding to took airline flight. Not an engine can’t commence malfunctioning all in the sudden upwards above, but ideas come aplenty if you are still grounded. Having an advanced and also accurate planes engine Info Analyzer and also Management method, you can easily monitor the particular piston engines from the cockpit. This is a combination of your flight manufacture, a servicing manager and also flight-data back up system in which saves an individual from going through mid-air explosions. One of the most advanced Planes Precision Goods have many features to aid the pilots in their flights. On one hand, they contain built-in, pilot-programmable signals, while around the other, provides powerplant diagnostics and also records the info (regarding later looking at by servicing crews). These also feature a hands-free studying assistance and also scalable EGT cafes. Consider the particular aircraft powerplant analyzer a great extension of one’s eyes inside the cockpit. They may be never tired rather than fail to see even an individual flinch inside the critical powerplant parameters. They continue to keep you updated around the engines’ RPM, beyond any doubt and acrylic pressure, Gyro Hoover, voltages and also amps as well as the rate regarding flow and also pressure with the fuel, compression setting, air-fuel ratios and also ignition! The planes engine analyzer also enables you to fly any plane around the lean or perhaps peak factors by showing the top temperature for each and every cylinder, thereby enabling you to regulate gas flow atlanta divorce attorneys cylinder. In addition, they enable setting system alarms for all the individual capabilities (CHT, EGT, Avionic Tools differential reduce, etc. )#), which can be vital as a result of cylinders together with varying running ranges. The main advantage of programming directly from your face panel with the instrument in a easy and also straight-forward manner can be a boon for the pilots.

Typically, an planes engine analyzer displays its parts through bar-graph exhibits, the edge being it gives you for an instantaneous view with the engine-health. If something arises all in the sudden, it enables an instantaneous switching up to a see that’s a lot more precise and also focuses particularly compared to that function.

The #1 Paranormal News Site When Elon Musk announced the launch of SpaceX in 2002 he stated that his core objective was to revolutionise space travel by making it cheaper. He said that his pinnacle focus when it came to tackling this daunting task was to work on making rockets that would be reusable. Now it appears that Musk and SpaceX are closer to this milestone than ever before. Last week, SpaceX successfully launched the first reusable rocket ship created within the company, the Falcon 9. After the successful launch, Musk made an announcement about the companies ambitious for the summer. He said that they plan to launch a demonstration flight of another rocket ship, the Falcon Heavy, which will involve the attempted recovery of the rocket’s upper stage. “That will be exciting mission, one way or another, ” he said of the planned mission, “Hopefully in a good direction. The two side boosters will come back and do sort of a synchronized aerial ballet and land. Two of the side boosters will land back at the Cape. That’ll be pretty exciting to see two come in simultaneously, and the center core will land downrange on the drone ship.” Musk confirmed that at this current time, SpaceX is primarily concerning itself with the many commercial missions it has lined up using the Falcon 9 launch vehicle. When Musk initially announced his plans to tackle the high cost of space travel by attempting to create reusable rockets, many said that he was wasting his time and it could never be done. This means that if SpaceX’s planned summer mission does turn out to be a successful that Musk will have successfully silenced the naysayers and could be ushering in a new dawn in the region of space travel which could have huge implications going forward. “If one can figure out how to effectively reuse rockets just like airplanes, ” said Musk “the cost of access to space will be reduced by as much as a factor of a hundred.”

Our history started in the early 1980s with founder Kevin McKown who earned his pilot license & started his Aviation Career. By 1988 McKown gathered a group of Aviation engineers and enthusiasts and started a company, Airflow Composite Group. This company’s ambitions were to develop a 6-seat, twin-engine, 3-surface, pusher type aircraft, with trailing link landing gear and 68 Liters/pr hr fuel efficient Diesel Engines. Named the 600-6, the 482/kph aircraft was Expected to enter the Experimental aircraft market in the early 1990s. With experimental certification gained, the road to full FAA certification. This aircraft design was the First Twin Engine "Diesel" powered aircraft post World War ll. The aircraft drew worldwide attention within the aviation community! In the late '80s, the plug was pulled to a lack of funding. By 1999 McKown established an FAA aircraft import and export company, South Aircraft. During this time, making frequent trips to Eastern Europe searching for museum-quality aircraft, McKown met officials at the Polish aircraft manufacturing company in Warsaw, Poland, from EADS-PZL. PZL consulted with McKown and decided for South Aircraft to manage marketing throughout North, Central & South America. The task was to export from Poland and import to North America PZL's product line, then establish an aircraft dealer network to distribute to general aviation. The Aviation uses for these aircraft were airborne law enforcement and military and private aviation within the USA, Canada, and Central & South America. Wilga Aircraft (A 4-Seat STOL Aircraft) primary purpose is law enforcement and border patrol. Kruk Aircraft (A 500-Gallon agricultural aircraft) and other aircraft built in Poland at the EADS-PZL factory. To this day, McKown continues in good standing with PZL aircraft manufacturing in Poland. In 1999, McKown founded, with Partner Don Mickey, a general aviation magazine Southwest Aviator. The magazine was published from 1999 to 2006 and can still be found online, <www.swaviator.com>. McKown test-flew aircraft for magazine content, collected story information, directed distribution, and gathered advertising sales. The magazine was primarily circulated over seven years, during which the magazine grew to supply over 1500 airports, FBOs, airport lounges, restaurants, and aviation schools throughout the nine southwestern states in America. In 2008 McKown made his first visit to China on an exploratory aviation Interest visit. During this 2008 visit, McKown agreed with his Chinese hosting partners that as China moves into the 21st century, aviation will play a huge role in China's Future. Aviation will employ millions of people and create new General & Corporate Aviation minded companies. In 2017, McKown formed AASW.

The MiG-15 was one of the first successful jet fighters to incorporate swept wings to achieve high transonic speeds. In combat over Korea, it outclassed straight-winged jet day fighters, which were largely relegated to ground-attack roles, and was quickly countered by the similar American swept-wing North American F-86 Sabre. The MiG-15 is often mentioned, along with the F-86 Sabre, as the best fighter aircraft of the Korean War. When refined into the more advanced MiG-17, the basic design would again surprise the West when it proved effective against supersonic fighters such as the Republic F-105 Thunderchief and McDonnell Douglas F-4 Phantom II in the Vietnam War of the 1960s. The MiG-15 is believed to have been one of the most produced jet aircraft; in excess of 13,000 were manufactured. Licensed foreign production may have raised the production total to almost 18,000.

Sentinel 6 radiation pressure model analysis Event: 2022 Ocean Surface Topography Science Team Meeting Session: Precision Orbit Determination Presentation type: Type Forum only Contribution: PDF file The Sentinel. 6 satellite has a new platform, with a very different geometry from the preceding missions like Jason 1,2,3. The main difference is that the solar array panel is now fixed on the satellite body, and the satellite has a fixed attitude in the local orbital frame (with small rotations for geodetical pointing and ground velocity alignment). As a consequence the sun direction relative to the panels has important variations along one orbit. On Jason 3 the illumination of the solar array panels is always close to the normal direction : as a consequence the solar radiation pressure force produced by the panels has a well defined direction independent of the material coefficients. Also, the amplitude does not depend on the balance between the electrical energy production of the array and the material thermally absorbed part. This thermally absorbed part has no impact on the global force, due to a similar re-radiation on both surfaces of the panels. On Sentinel 6, this property does not hold anymore, and the standard modeling of the panel surfaces (with absorbed, diffuse and specular parts), with correction for the re-radiated part, does not lead to satisfactory results. Here, we analyze the solar array thermal behavior thanks to in flight information (temperatures variations along the orbit, for different sun orbital angle cases, and energy production of the array). A thermal model is constructed using thermal coefficients adjusted on these flight data (thermal capacity of the panels). An updated solar radiation pressure model is then constructed.

Call with women astronauts in space, industry panel, Marilyn Smith celebration highlight a day honoring the journey of women in AE. Women in Engineering Director listens to NASA astronauts Jeannette Epps and Tracy Dyson during a live call from the International Space Station. (Photo: Veronica Soroka) On a very long-distance call, students from Georgia Tech and an Atlanta elementary school wanted to know how two women floating 220 miles above the Earth’s surface got there. Not in the sense of strapping into a capsule atop a rocket, but rather how their passions and careers led them to be NASA astronauts aboard the International Space Station. After all, it’s not every day you can gather a little bit of career advice from an actual space traveler. “Find out what you really enjoy doing and pursue that thing,” said Tracy Dyson, who arrived this week for her second stint aboard the space station. “I think about my own upbringing, and my parents never told me or my sister that there was anything we couldn't do or that girls didn't normally do. My parents just let us do the things that we enjoyed doing. So I think what I would say more is to the parents than to the kids: If they show an interest in something, help open the door and pave the way. And let's see what they can do.” Truthfully, the audience also asked about the physical journey to space along with the metaphorical one. They wanted to know about the food and life in orbit. And they asked about the science that’s keeping the 10 astronauts currently aboard the space station busy. The conversation with Dyson and crewmate Jeannette Epps was just part of a day-long celebration of women in aerospace hosted by the Women in Engineering (WIE) program and the Daniel Guggenheim School of Aerospace Engineering (AE). The March 28 event gathered Georgia Tech students and approximately 50 elementary school students from Atlanta's Tuskegee Airmen Global Academy to celebrate and explore the journey of women in AE research, education, and industry. The day began with a miniature rocket-building activity for the youngest students, who worked alongside Tech students from WIE and the Society of Women Engineers. It ended with a special banquet in honor of Professor Marilyn Smith, the first woman to join Georgia Tech’s aerospace engineering faculty. Smith is a three-time AE graduate and has taught AE students since 1997. She has secured more than $200 million in research funding through her work in the Guggenheim School and the Georgia Tech Research Institute. Currently, she is director of the Georgia Tech Vertical Lift Research Center of Excellence, a multi-university team program that trains the next generation of aerospace engineers and researchers. (text and background only visible when logged in) With the help of students from WIE and the Society of Women Engineers, elementary school students from Tuskegee Airmen Global Academy constructed paper rockets during the day-long Celebrating Women in Aerospace Engineering event. After they designed and built their rockets, the young girls used straws to "launch." (Photos: Veronica Soroka) A lunchtime panel discussion focused on the journeys of four other women from different corners of the aerospace industry. Leaders from Airbus, Amazon, NASA, and Relativity Space shared their stories and advice about navigating the field as a woman and how to get started. “Don't feel like you have to know exactly what you want to do for the rest of your life when you graduate,” said Sabrina Ussery, a senior systems engineer at Amazon Prime Air who earned her AE master’s degree from Georgia Tech in 2010. “Start with what you know. You may discover the things you thought you liked, you really don't really like. Or you may find out that there are things you have no idea about now that you will really love. Give yourself the flexibility to start and then pivot as you learn and grow.” NASA’s Trudy Kortes shared advice she received when she was a graduate student co-op at NASA. The co-op group met with some of the agency’s flight directors, including Gene Krantz, legendary mission control director of Mercury, Gemini, and Apollo missions. “He said, ‘If I can relate to you one thing it’s whenever I got assignments here, whether I liked them or not, I did them and did them to the best of my ability. And that was noticed. I didn't always hear it all the time, but hard work is noticed, and it's appreciated,’” recounted Kortes, now director of technology demonstrations at the space agency. “I think it’s still the No. 1 thing that will get you far in your career. I’m trying to follow his advice, and it’s certainly been true for me.” The afternoon included a flight competition for undergraduates organized by the Yang Aero Maker Space and a session on mentoring to help graduate students map out their current mentor network, find gaps, and create a plan to fill them. “We wanted students to learn about the many doors that are opened by earning a degree in aerospace engineering,” said WIE Director Joy Harris. “We hope they walked away thinking, ‘With an AE degree from Georgia Tech, I can be a pilot or an astronaut. Or I can have a successful career at Amazon or in academia. With an AE degree, the sky is literally the limit.’” After helping increase the number of women undergraduates in the College, WIE expands to grad students and postdocs to build on its thriving community. Aerospace engineers created methods that space station astronauts will use to understand what kinds of resistant bacteria are present that could make astronauts sick. Their approach could mean longer and farther human space travel without having to send this kind of data to Earth for study.

NYC based architecture firm, Clouds AO have released plans to build the first ever floating skyscraper. The structure will hang from a captured asteroid 50,000 kilometers (31,000 miles) in the air. Named Analemma Tower, the structure follows a geosynchronous orbit matching the earth’s rotation of one day, tracing out a path in a figure-8 form, returning the tower to exactly the same position in the sky each day. The path covers the Northern and Southern Hemisphtravellingeling above major cities such as Havana, Panama City, and of course New York. The company stated that manipulating asteroids is now plausible, citing NASA’s scheduled asteroid retrieval mission for 2021 and the European Space Agency sparking a new round of investment in asteroid mining. The tower is designed to be self-supporting, acting like a floating city. The structure will house multiple facilities such as dining, shopping and entertainment, commercial offices, garden and agriculture, residential and a place of worship. Clouds AO proposes to build the structure in Dubai. Read more at www.cloudsao.com/ANALEMMA-TOWER

instructions by a single operator using a vertical takeoff and landing Evacuation and Resupply Tactical Interface Medic Interface and UxFleet/Collaborative Mission Planning system from Neya Systems. The injured team member was then strapped into a seat on the side of the K-MAX, which was able to fly the casualty to a safe area The ground operators were all using control stations that communicated with each other using the UCS architecture. The aircraft flew to the Global Positioning System coordinates provided by the UGV, but the operator at the scene was able to control both vehicles using a single Android device to make sure the aircraft landed in a safe location, and send the aircraft back to base when the patient was safely on board. The on-scene user can update the UAS with instructions as to specifically where it should land, no-fly zones, a specific desired approach direction or angle. The ground control station takes those constraints and generates a detailed flight plan that is passed back to the tablet so the operator can see what the action might be. Missions can be largely preplanned, but users can make changes as needed, or adjustments during execution. “The encoded a-priori mission planning and online replanning reduces the amount of communications required during the mission, and enables fast, accurate responses to dynamic changes within a tactical environment,” said Parag Batavia, Ph.D., president of Neya Systems. Batavia said Neya’s notion of modularity is all about using open architectures and open interfaces, and not considering those interfaces proprietary. “If something needs to be removed and replaced, even from another source, we can do that. The parts that we hold as our ‘secret sauce’ are the core algo- rithms that go into these capabilities,” he said. “As long as we do a good job on that ‘secret sauce’ side, having the open architecture aspect for us is a large plus.” “This collaborative demonstration signifies how using multiple unmanned systems can address critical needs such as medical casualty response and resupply without endangering additional lives,” said Kevin Westfall, director of Unmanned Solutions for Lockheed Martin Mission Systems and Training. “As technology and autonomy mature, there is significant potential for these systems to be used for humanitarian aid, first response and military applications.” There are numerous unmanned systems in use today, and virtually all of them have their own propri- etary control systems and communications and data links. With a common software architecture, it becomes possible to control both unmanned aircraft and ground robotic systems at the same time. UCS is a “service-oriented architecture” with 150 service descriptions that support a data model that defines system objectives, mission or tasks and resources. UCS provides a common basis for acquiring, integrating and extending the situational awareness and capabilities of the control systems for unmanned systems. The UCS architecture decomposes capabilities provided by these control systems and data links, independent of the platform. With UCS, legacy systems can be adapted for use with common control stations by opening up their capabilities and integrating them with open UCS interfaces, making existing systems not only interoperable, but readily upgradable. The UCS architecture has a very extensive and flexible data model, which can be “extended” with additional requirements. In fact, the core UCS data model is aimed at the unmanned air domain, but it can be extended to add capabilities relevant to ground, surface and underwater domains.

The National Transportation Safety Board’s decision on the Colgan Air Flight 407 crash is that the pilot responded inappropriately to the stick shaker, which led to an aerodynamic stall from which the airplane did not recover. The stick shaker only comes into play when the plane is already slow enough to stall. The plane fell 800 feet before crashing pointing northeast, away from the airport The family of Ellyce Kausner has filed a lawsuit against Bombardier. Bombardier is the manufacturer of the plane involved in the crash. The suit charges that Bombardier was “negligent and careless” in the design of the plane by not providing more efficient internal mechanical warning systems. Kausner was a 24 year old Jacksonville law student traveling to NY to visit family. At least 19 other families have filed suits. At the time of the crash, the automated “stick-pusher,” pushes the control column down in order to send the aircraft into a temporary dive so it can regain speed and recover from a stall but Capt. Renslow yanked back on the controls while adding thrust, manually overriding the stick-pusher. Colgan Air, Clarence Center, NY, Accident Dockets George’s Point of View Time for Bombardier to step up to the plate. Although this has little to do with the pilot, who had flunked numerous flight tests during his career and was never adequately taught how to respond to the emergency that led to the airplane’s fatal descent. Maybe Ellyce would still be here if the warning systems on the Bombardier were simply better. When the plane slowed down to a dangerous level, it set off the stall-prevention system, and the pilot performed the opposite of the proper procedure. So there were hiring and training issues involved too. And Captain Renslow had about 109 hours of experience, hardly enough to be pilot. Even if procedures seem counter-intuitive, shouldn’t the pilot be aware of them? Barring the inefficiency of an ill-prepared pilot, shouldn’t Bombardier have some kind of way to limit ineffective pilot responses? When the hiring and training fails, and when the pilot fails, shouldn’t there be some kind of fail-safe within the plane? Even a copy of the Complete Idiot’s Guide to Not Crashing your Bombardier for pilots who flunked their last check write 16 months before and who apparently didn’t read the real manual?

Asteroid Nearly Misses Earth Earth had an uncomfortably close encounter with an asteroid which is known as “2019 ON”. This asteroid was 121 feet long and sped past our planet in the past days. As it missed Earth there wasn’t much harm done. Several authorities, including NASA, have been taking precautions for an unlikely event when such a potential asteroid is targeted towards the Earth. This boulder sized asteroid was only visible in the last few days to scientists since it came from the direction of the sun. An asteroid reaches earth due to the gravitational force. In 2013, Chelyabinsk meteor crashed into Russia and injured about 1600 people. The asteroid “2019 ON” will be visible on July 30, 2020, due to the frequent encounter this asteroid is listed under the Near-Earth Object (NEO). According to the latest reports, another 6 asteroids will fly past Earth by the end of August. Asteroids are usually found in main belt between Mars and Jupiter, several thousands of asteroids occupy this space. “All we have to do is change the speed of asteroid slightly faster or slower when it is in Earth’s orbit, then it crosses either in front of us or behind us” said Dr Lori Glaze, director of planetary science at NASA. An explosion caused by a meteor could produce energy of 173 kiloton which is more than 10 times of Hiroshima bomb blast that happened in the second world war. One of the major difficulties is that these, could give a real surprise “This asteroid wasn’t the one that scientists were tracking, and it had seemingly appeared from out of nowhere” said Michael Brown, a Melbourne based observational astronomer. Even though we were lucky this time, these asteroids pose a danger to our planet as these have potential to wipe out an entire city in no time. Due to which scientist keep a close watch on these objects.

Passenger tries to break into cockpit on US flight Passenger who tried enter cockpit being overpowered by other passengers. The Delta Air flight from Los Angeles to Nashville made an emergency landing in Albuquerque, New Mexico, where the man was dragged off the plane with his hands and feet secured by zip ties. He had repeatedly screamed "Stop this plane" as he was wrestled to the floor at the front of the cabin, according a phone camera footage of the incident on Friday. An unnamed passenger told CNN that the man "seemingly unprovoked, just got up and rushed the pilot's cabin and began banging on the doors." The FBI in Albuquerque confirmed on Twitter that it had responded to the incident. "The aircraft landed without incident and the passenger was removed by law enforcement." Remaining passengers spent five hours in Albuquerque before a new flight took them to Nashville.

Space shuttle Endeavour and its crew pulled up to the International Space Station on Saturday, bringing a giant billion-dollar robot arm that is needed to finish building the orbiting skyscraper. Cmdr. Kent Rominger steered Endeavour in for the docking, which occurred a half-hour later than planned. A radio problem prevented the shuttle and station crews from talking to one another during the operation, and Mission Control had to relay all the messages until a better link was established. The two spacecraft came together 240 miles above the South Pacific, ending a two-day chase. "Terrific job, Endeavour," radioed Mission Control. The seven shuttle astronauts are the first visitors for the three space station residents, who moved in last month. They will have to wait until Monday to exchange handshakes because of the different cabin pressures between the spacecraft. On Saturday, the two crews had to settle for waving to one another from opposite sides of a porthole. All the shuttle astronauts jammed into an outer compartment of the space station to peek inside the orbiting complex and leave behind items for later pickup by the station crew. One end of the compartment always remained sealed. The shuttle astronauts needed a power tool from space station Alpha for Sunday's spacewalk to install the new robot arm, and the station residents were eager to get letters from home, fresh fruit and water, and electrical cords needed to operate the new arm. Sunday was expected to be a big day not only for the 10 space travelers but for the Canadian Space Agency, which supplied the arm.

Students design and test each of their satellites and then go to work along with professionals of space industry to get them loaded on rockets. This opportunity is available to students for more than 30 years. As Federal Communications Commission is considering to increase communication licensing fees, it will reach beyond the limits of most of the students this opportunity may not be available to them. The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) is proposing a regulation, in which they will license some education satellite programs. And this proposal can force schools to pay US$135,350 annual fee – plus a $30,000 application fee for the starting first year if they wish to get a federal license which is required for a U.S organization to operate satellite communications.

FROM NASA FILE 423/CONFIDENTIAL/RECENTLY RELEASED: “Roger Cosmonkey,” as he is now known, was born in 1968 as a common chimpanzee. Shortly thereafter he was inducted into the NASA animal testing program at Cape Canaveral. A simple subject known as “Bosco,” he was launched in a capsule above the Earth in the fall of that year. Unbeknownst to NASA scientists, a severe space/time rift had opened dangerously close to Earth’s orbit. The mission was compromised and the pull of the rift was too great for the launch capsule, which was pulled into it. The chimp and the capsule disappeared from all radar and was not recorded as being seen for the next forty three years. For unknown reasons, this same chimpanzee reappeared over Earth early in 2011, piloting a dramatically different spacecraft and exhibiting a dramatically heightened intelligence. He claimed the name “Roger Cosmonkey,” due to his enrollment in the original Cosmonaut Monkey Program at NASA. “Roger” was apparently the last Earth word he heard from HQ before he was lost in the rift. His manners are rude but his speech and vocabulary show a high I.Q.. Upon his arrival, Roger engaged the U.S. government immediately, seeking compensation for his time in space and the violation of his “Simian American” rights. He won this case and has made his home in the Hollywood Hills, along with several other NASA animal test subjects who also seem to have had the same rift-traveling and intelligence-heightening experience. Whether Roger’s presence on Earth is a help or a danger has yet to be determined. An investigation is ongoing.

Here is a long overdue "Typhoon H calibration" video I recently put together. It is designed for new Typhoon H pilots (you experienced pilots already know all of this and much more). Instead of three separate videos, I put all 3 calibration items together in one video for easy reference. I added the "magnetic north" compass calibration issue that many on this forum speak of. I don't know if there is any truth to it, but it certainly doesn't hurt. I also added the "heat" issue when performing an accelerometer calibration (for Phantom pilots we have all grown up knowing never to perform an IMU calibration with a hot battery or drone). I 100% don't know if it applies to the Typhoon, but I threw it in regardless. Enjoy!

Five perish in Navy helicopter crash By ASSOCIATED PRESS Published May 9, 2007 RENO, Nev. - A Navy helicopter struck a power line during a nighttime training flight and crashed in a rugged area of the northern Nevada desert, killing all five Florida-based crew members, the Navy said Tuesday. The SH-60F helicopter, flying out of Naval Air Station Fallon, went down late Monday about 10 miles west of Austin, base spokesman Zip Upham said. "The helicopter was on a combat search-and-rescue exercise, " Upham said. It was flying at a low altitude when it struck a high-voltage transmission line, cutting it. "It was a simulated tactical scenario, where they have to get into threatened territory and recover U.S. personnel, " Upham said. The helicopter was assigned to Helicopter Anti-submarine Squadron Seven based in Jacksonville. The squadron is part of Carrier Air Wing Three, which deploys on the USS Harry S. Truman. The crew was on a monthlong training mission at Fallon that began April 30. Upham said the carrier air wing, about 1, 800 personnel, is participating in the training, which was suspended Tuesday after the crash. "This group is the majority, if not exclusively, the folks here for training right now, " Upham said. "The focus for the air wing is on taking care of their shipmates, and pausing to make sure they focus on taking care of each other at this point." Names of the victims were withheld pending notification of relatives. Their identities will be released by their home base in Jacksonville, possibly today, Upham said. Nevada Sen. Harry Reid issued a statement Tuesday, expressing condolences to the victims' families. "While the investigation is just beginning, I am hopeful that it will be swift so that the victims' loved ones will have a better understanding of how this tragedy occurred, " he said. Upham said the crash occurred in an unpopulated area managed by the U.S. Bureau of Land Management. Fallon, 60 miles east of Reno, is the home of the Navy's elite Strike and Air Warfare Center.

There is a report of a captured FW 190 arriving at Wright Field, Ohio in August 1943. However, it seems very unlikely that it would have passed through Bethpage first for an evaluation by a Navy contractor, although I'm sure that it would have been a closely held secret if it did. As best I can determine, the F8F originated with a memo from Roy Grumman to Chief Engineer Bill Schwendler dated 28 July 1943 requesting a predesign of a small fighter built around the most powerful R-2800 engine available and providing some additional guidelines. It was reportedly the result of previous discussions between those two dating back to at least late 1942. A predesign drawing by Dick Hutto dated 20 August 1943 indicates that the basic size and shape, including a bubble canopy, of the Grumman G-58 were well established by then. The story that seems more credible (and supported by contemporaneous documentation) is that Grumman's Bob Hall and Bud Gilles went to England in September 1943 to fly a captured Fw 190. I haven't seen Hall's report, but they were undoubtedly impressed by its speed and maneuverability. It seems likely that they would have returned to Bethpage with the intent to match, if not exceed, its performance and handling qualities with the new Grumman fighter. It therefore seems almost certain that the basic philosophy that shaped the F8F was not the September FW 190 flight evaluation but the result of 1942 combat experience in the Pacific vis-a-vis the Mitsubishi Zero and the need for a small fighter that had better performance than the F4F Wildcat to operate from the small decks of the newly created escort carriers. The Navy ordered prototypes of the G-58 in November 1943 and designated it the F8F. The first one flew only nine months later, in August 1944. Deliveries of the first production aircraft were made in February 1945. However, the first air group equipped with F8Fs arrived in the Pacific just days too late to participate in the war. (In fact, it was first Navy carrier-based aircraft initiated after Pearl Harbor to get that far; most were canceled before reaching fleet squadrons.) Within a few years, it was supplanted by jet fighters and relegated to a training role.

Visitors to the Air Zoo museum, Michigan are treated to a P-40 painted in its lesser known camouflage colour of Desert Pink and despite the aircraft never seeing service in combat it is known to millions of aviation enthusiasts. This is the story of P-40N (44-7619). Rolling off the production line on the 12th August 1944 was a Curtiss P-40N Warhawk (44-7619), just one of around 14,000 built during the Second World War (1939 - 1945), and was acquired for around $45,000 by the United States Army Air Force. Used by the 372nd Fighter Group based at Pollock Field, P-40N (44-7619) would serve as a training aircraft and flown by pilots of all skills returning from action during the Second World War. It would end its time with the 372nd at Esler Field where it was painted with the word 'Icy'. So less than two years after being built and having only been in service for a year and a half P-40N (44-7619) ended its service with the USAAF and was sent to the independent government agency the Reconstruction Finance Corporation. The next home for 'Icy' was the Chowchilla Union Schools, California whom it was sold to for the price of transportation, $350. For the next four years the schools students would learn about aircraft and simulate take-off and landing procedures as part of a aeronautics course developed by high school teacher Floyd Park. 'Icy's time at the school ended when a new Superintendent stopped the aeronautics course in 1950 and sold 'Icy' for just $100 to Carroll Collier who had been a student of Floyd Park and who had taken over the aeronautics course from Mr Park. However, the aircraft was parked behind a car dealership for the next two years when it was rescued by three men who brought the aircraft for $400. After reaching its destination of Montebello, California 'Icy' underwent plastic surgery to convert the aircraft into a racing aircraft, however money for the project ran out so 'Icy' would have to find a new home. Ed Maloney would be the new owner for the sum of $800 in 1959 however 'Icy' was left for fourteen years to degrade further before being packed up and sent for restoration at the Confederate Air Force based in Addison, Texas. It was at this point that 'Icy's future took a turn for the better when Sue Parish was informed of the aircraft's availability and brought the aircraft. Despite this bright new beginning in the aircraft's history much work was needed to make 'Icy' flyable. Restoration began and although the aircraft was in reasonable condition after its conversion to a racing aircraft the cockpit was the main area that needed attention and needed to be rebuilt and other parts were also needed including a new prop and spinner, but finally after a restoration process lasting three years and involving parts from other aircraft P-40N (44-7619) was again able to take to the skies. After some training in the Warhawk. Sue was eventually able to bring the aircraft to Kalamazoo, Michigan. 1977 saw the legend begin as Sue painted her P-40 in Desert Pink and the shark teeth design was added, but with a difference, this particular P-40's smile was friendlier and wore lipstick! Earning the nickname 'the friendly tiger'. The Air Zoo was formed that same year after the purchases of a Boeing Stearman, North American T-6 Texan and a Grumman F4F Wildcat. A futher aircraft was added after a friend of Sue and her husband Pete told them if they set up a museum then he would donate his Grumman F8F Bearcat. So began a sixteen year career for the pair which started at the Confederate Air Force Airshow and included flying for the P-40 Warhawk Association, the Flying Tigers Convention and also flying over Washington, DC to commemorate the opening of the movie The Right Stuff (1983), which would see Sue meet Chuck Yeager who lead the formation in his North American P-51 Mustang. Finally in 1993 Sue made the decision to retire 'the friendly tiger' and so the aircraft's 49 year career came to an end, although Sue herself kept flying in a Beechcraft T-34 Mentor with the same colour scheme. So despite no military honours this P-40 is perhaps just as well known as other military aircraft.
