Online PR News – 08-May-2014 – Greater Noida, Uttar Pradesh – Students from Greater Noida Institute of Technology (GNIOT) successfully designed, developed and flight tested a hybrid rocket motor system at their campus. B.tech Mechanical Engineering (Final Year) students of GNIOT were quite enthused to see their creation fly high. It took the students nearly six months of hard work to successfully create this rocket system, which uses water and air for the various phases of its flight. The project was completed under the overall guidance of Manjit Singh (Associate Professor –ME, retired advisor to the Deputy Director at ISRO’s Vikram Sarabhai Space Centre and Dr JP Mani (HOD-Mechanical Engg.). Also present during the test launch were GNIOT’s President-KL Gupta, Vice President- BL Gupta, Dr Joy Banerjee (Director-GNIOT), other faculty members and students from other branches.
The design, development and fabrication of the rocket motor were carried out following the guidelines stipulated by NASA engineers. Professor Manjit Singh, who guided the students through every phase, shared his various experiences with the students during the event. He talked about how his 36 years at ISRO had shaped him, and how the 10 years spent with former President and scientist par excellence, APJ Abdul Kalam will always be very special to him. He said that students should always be open-minded and the willingness to learn should be there life-long. He also said that the hybrid rocket motor developed has the potential application as Micro-thrust motor for Deep Space Satellite Control and orbit raising.
KL Gupta said, “The students accomplished this project with tremendous hard work and the guidance of Project Head, Manjit Singh. Our aim at GNIOT is that the students should be trained well in every way, so that they are successful in their careers.”
During the course of this project, the students learnt a lot about principles of rocketing, how to make rockets as well as how to launch them. They also became well-versed with the rocket motor chamber, nozzle system, propellant feed system and pressurisation system. The rocket had three chambers, which contained a mixture of 1/3 water and 2/3 air. This mixture created a pressure of 65 psi that propelled the rocket to a height of 80 metres. Names of some of the students who participated were Deepak Goswami, Tarun Sharma, Shashank Gangwar,Swati Bharadwaj, Sneha Seth and other students.

https://ac-ada.ca/news/2016-12-01/canada-receives-first-fwsar-cc-295-aircraft | 2021-11-28T02:58:06 | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-49/segments/1637964358443.87/warc/CC-MAIN-20211128013650-20211128043650-00087.warc.gz | 0.956849 | 1,113 | CC-MAIN-2021-49 | webtext-fineweb__CC-MAIN-2021-49__0__73846421 | en | Today, the RCAF marked the arrival of the first aircraft of its future fixed-wing search and rescue fleet. The new fleet will be called Kingfisher. Within the First Nations of the Northwest, the kingfisher has long been recognized for its speed and agility, as well as its keen searching and hunting skills. Found all across Canada, the kingfisher well represents the abilities of our own search and rescue crews to accomplish their lifesaving role.
Specifically designed to perform search and rescue missions across Canada, the aircraft is equipped with integrated sensors that will allow crews to locate persons or objects from more than 40 kilometers away, even in low-light conditions. Its communications systems will increase interoperability with other search and rescue assets, such as the CH-149 Cormorant. The fleet of 16 aircraft will be replacing the CC-115 Buffalo and CC-130H Hercules fleets in their search and rescue role at four locations across Canada, and represents a value of $2.4 billion.
The aircraft received earlier this month will remain at 19 Wing Comox while the RCAF completes aircrew training, followed by operational testing. During the transition period and while the CC-295 Kingfisher is being operationalized, fixed-wing search and rescue services will continue through existing fleets, along with the CH-149 Cormorant and CH-146 Griffon helicopters.
The delivery of this aircraft marks an exciting new chapter in Canada’s long and proud search and rescue history, and this project has created hundreds of new jobs for Canadians. The CC-295 contractor, Airbus Defence and Space, continues to make investments into the Canadian aerospace and defence industry through the Industrial and Technological Benefits Policy. Strategic work packages directly related to the aircraft are providing Canadian companies the opportunity to participate in global supply chains and creating high-value jobs.
Harjit S. Sajjan, Minister of National Defence stated, “As outlined in Canada’s defence policy, Strong, Secure, Engaged, it is essential that our search and rescue crews have the modern and effective aircraft they need to carry out this critical work. I am thrilled at the arrival of this first CC-295 Kingfisher in Comox as it represents another successful milestone for this project, while also supporting our mission of being strong at home.”
Navdeep Bains, Minister of Innovation, Science and Industry commented, “As Canada welcomes its new fixed-wing search and rescue aircraft, our government also welcomes the many jobs and investments this procurement is generating for the Canadian economy. Important economic benefits through the Industrial and Technological Benefits Policy are helping our economy to grow and move forward through this challenging time.”
"Airbus is really proud to be able to celebrate this important milestone: the arrival of the first out of 16 Fixed Wing Search and Rescue C295 at the Canadian Forces Base Comox. Thanks to the excellent collaboration with Canadian officials we have overcome the challenges caused by COVID-19 and we were able to deliver the aircraft. Despite the current pandemic, we are confident of achieving the program target of six deliveries by the end of this year. We look forward to our continued collaboration and to the C295 Canada", said Airbus Defence and Space Chief Executive Officer, Dirk Hoke, on a video statement displayed during an official event held today at the 19 Wing Comox Air Base.
Airbus has formally delivered three aircraft to date, the second of which is scheduled to arrive in Canada in the coming weeks. Deliveries will continue until 2022.
A $2.4 billion contract (including taxes) for 16 new CC-295 fixed-wing search and rescue aircraft to replace Canada’s fleets of Buffalo and Hercules H aircraft was awarded to Airbus Defence and Space on December 1, 2016. The contract is for a period of 11 years, with the option to extend up to an additional 15 years of in-service support.
This first aircraft, tail number 501, was formally accepted by Canada in Spain on December 18, 2019, and has now been delivered to Comox following additional testing and evaluations.
A maintenance trainer aircraft arrived at 19 Wing Comox, B.C. in February 2020. This aircraft was disassembled upon arrival, and reassembled inside the new training centre.
The CC-295 Kingfisher will be based in Comox, Trenton, Greenwood, and Winnipeg. The aircraft will arrive in phases as crews are trained in turn at each location.
Part of this project includes the construction of a new training centre, which is being built in Comox by Canadian training leader CAE. It includes ten classrooms, as well as sophisticated training devices such as a full-flight simulator, a cockpit procedures trainer, a sensor station simulator, and an aircraft maintenance trainer. The centre will be used to train both maintenance and aircrews.
Canadian company AirPro will provide day-to-day management of all in-service support for the provision of engineering, logistics, maintenance, training, IT systems, infrastructure and materiel support throughout the contracted CC-295 life cycle.
Canada’s Industrial and Technological Benefits (ITB) Policy applies to this contract, ensuring that Airbus Defence and Space invests an amount equal to the value of the contract in the Canadian economy. Significant high-value jobs have been and will continue to be generated from this contract with Canadian companies such as PAL Aerospace, Pratt and Whitney Canada, CAE, and AirPro. | aerospace |

Sometimes it’s easy to forgot how lucky I am doing some of the things I do. It’s particularly easy to discount what I do nowadays when you look at what I HAVE done. In terms of numbers of “epic” events, I might look longingly to years past when I flew more advanced aircraft. Fortunately, the universe is kind enough to remind me that not all is what “was,” and that what I’m doing now might be someone else’s epic adventure.
We have many great relationships with other aviation agencies at the USAF Test Pilot School. One is with the USAF Academy. This institution is easily the source of a third of our officers and many of our pilots. It’s a very difficult educational institution in which, not only are you graded for your academic excellence, but also for your military abilities. The course load they have at the academy is impressive for anyone.
They have a course for seniors that’s all about flight testing. Aero 456 teaches students the basics of designing test plans, collecting data, and analyzing the data for a report. One of their final projects is a team exercise reporting on the performance capabilities of the T-38. Sure, it’s a great academic exercise. But, the best parts and most important objectives aren’t measurable on a simple scale. It’s the pure experience of flying in a supersonic jet trainer.
That little tidbit is easy to forget when you are flying hundreds of such missions a year. When the most recent class of Aero 456 students descended on Test Pilot School just a few weeks ago, I was reminded that not all I do is run-of-the-mill. Actually some of it is quite epic.
Every six months a group of Aero 456 students come to Test Pilot School at Edwards AFB to finish their final project, which is writing that report. They learn emergency procedures for getting into and out of the T-38 safely. One by one, they fly with a TPS instructor who is supposed to fly the given test conditions and do the right maneuvers while the students record what they see. It is all very scripted and old hat for us old-head instructors.
When I was teaching one group of these students how to egress the T-38 safely I asked if any had flown in a tandem—i.e. frontseat/backseat—cockpit aircraft before. Most had not, which surprised me, because in years past most had flown advanced fighters during orientation trips to other Air Force bases. This group of cadets where experienced glider instructors or flew Cessna 172’s on the Flying Team. They were familiar with the classic General Aviation world but had little experience with high performance aircraft like the T-38.
Like all aircraft, a T-38 flight begins with a takeoff. When you’re used to gliders and Cessna’s, the T-38 takeoff with its afterburners can be quite impressive. It might even feel like a “kick in the pants” on a cold day when the afterburners kick in just after the brakes are released. The takeoff can be memorable, at least until you fly something with real power, like an F-15 or F-16.
On this day, I get on the end of the runway with my cadet safety strapped into the backseat. The kick and speed rush associated with escaping the runway at 165 KTS is all there. I make a slight turn out of traffic towards the fat part of our airspace, which for me is all pretty normal stuff. As we climb away from the ground at a good rate, my backseater pipes up, “Sir, this is probably the coolest thing I have ever done in my life!” All he needed to add was a cursory, “Yee haw!” to really state what he was feeling.
We finished the mission. His grin was a mile wide the whole time we walked back to TPS. Afterwards, he and a couple other cadets I flew with that week gave me a little memento of their visit—the patch you see here.
I’m glad I have reminders like these. They ground me. There's always the risk of being overly full of oneself. Also, just when I might think my best days are over, there are little events like this to show me that’s not so. | aerospace |

According to the retired security tycoon, there is no truth in the story and that, it is even not possible to fly under such a bridge.
The former President is on record to have flown under the Adomi bridge in Atimpoku, an incident many have described as outstanding from the former flight lieutenant.
Speaking to Abena Opokua Ahwenee on Accra based Dadi FM morning show, Air Commodore Pumpumi, who was a former teacher of former President Rawlings, has, however, debunked the story that has been circulating over the past decades.
On the issue of a crash plane of the Ghana Armed Forces on Wednesday, 23rd January 2020, he indicated that it is an only a thorough investigation that can unravel the cause but was surprised there was no pilot with the engineer on the plane at the time of the incident.
He emphasized that a pilot could have been able to control the plane if there was one on it at the time of the servicing.

17 March 2020
Luxembourg: Luxaviation Group today launches the European Business Aviation Solidarity Initiative (EBASI), a solidarity endeavour which puts the Group’s administrative, financial and procurement resources at the service of smaller operators and fellow contenders during the COVID-19 crisis.
Starting today, and for the next three months, Luxaviation Group will support the European business aviation industry by sharing its expertise in procurement, purchasing power and finance resources with business aviation companies for free, allowing them to concentrate on the core operations of their business.
Patrick Hansen, CEO of Luxaviation Group says: “As a major player in business aviation, we take our responsibility towards our clients, partners and the wider industry very seriously. We build our business on resources that smaller operators are lacking during lockdown. This initiative allows them to focus their limited resources on keeping their clients and assets safe, which is paramount to keep the industry as healthy as possible.”
The EBASI initiative shall allow any participating jet operator to enjoy, where possible, the same pricing that Luxaviation Group gets from suppliers and to take advantage of the Luxaviation Group’s payment terms. The initiative also provides operators with the option to get access to all documents required to be sent to authorities and other agencies to reduce costs.
“We also invite the EBAA to join the EBASI initiative,” continues Hansen. “With the financial support of EBAA a ‘guarantee fund’ could be set up and the CAA, Eurocontrol and various European institutions could make sure that the rescue funds are flowing. If the EBAA were on-board with the initiative, we would be very much inclined to put EBASI under their supervision or coordination.”
Luxaviation Group is also inviting suppliers and larger operators that might not yet have been contacted to join the solidarity initiative. The Group’s initiative currently focuses on Europe but might be extended to other parts of the world.
Operators interested in the initiative can get in touch with Luxaviation Group’s Chief Operations Officer, Joao Casimiro, or Group President of Wholesale, Christophe Lapierre, at [email protected].

The communications satellite was launched on Friday, February 24 from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, Florida at 5:15 p.m. EST.
MUOS, the Mobile User Objective System, is a next-generation narrowband tactical satellite communications system designed to improve ground communications for U.S. military forces on the move. It will provide users 10 times more communications capacity over existing systems, including simultaneous voice, video, and data by leveraging 3G technologies. Data rates of up to 384 kbps “on the move” will be available, with MUOS incorporating IPv4 and IPv6 to enable roaming to IP networks.
Lockheed Martin (News - Alert) has the contract for building MUOS, which is designed to replace the legacy Ultra High Frequency Follow-On (UFO) system. A total of four MUOS satellites will be put into geosynchronous earth orbit (GEO), along with an on-orbit spare. Each satellite is built using Lockheed’s A2100 bus and is equipped to deliver 16 WCDMA beams. The satellites carry both MUOS WCDMA and legacy UHF SATCOM payloads in order to support both legacy UHF SATCOM terminals and JTRS-compatible terminals.
According to Lockheed Martin, a single MUOS satellite will provide four times the capacity of the entire legacy UFO constellation of 10 satellites. Full operational capacity of MUOS with all four satellites in orbit is expected in 2015, extending UHF narrowband communications availability “well past” 2025.
Weighing in at nearly 15,000 pounds on the ground, MUOS-1 was launched onboard an Atlas V 551 vehicle including five Aerojet solid rocket motors attached to the Atlas booster and a 5.4 meter RUAG Space payload fairing manufactured by Swiss-based RUAG. The Atlas first stage was powered by the RD AMROSS RD-180 engine manufactured in Russia and fuelled with kerosene and liquid oxygen. Liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen fuel the Centaur upper stage powered by a single Pratt & Whitney Rocketdyne RL10A engine.
The launch marks the 200th flight of the Centaur upper stage and the heaviest payload to date launched by an Atlas V configuration. It also marks Atlas V’s twenty-ninth flight, with twenty-eight fully successful missions.
Two previous attempts to launch MUOS on February 16 and February 17 were scrubbed due to high winds and overcast skies, followed by a rollback to the Vertical Integration Facility and the reset to the launch attempt on February 24. Florida’s sometimes fickle weather – witness the Sunday rainout of the Daytona 500 – is one of the reasons why SpaceX (News - Alert) is looking for another East Coast launch facility to complement its Cape Canaveral pad.

Authors: Alexii M. Reva, Sergii P. Borsuk
Abstract: Air traffic controllers (as “first line” operators) professional activity may be described as a continuous chain of decisions, being developed and implemented under influence of different natural factors, including risks of stochastic and deterministic type. Thus, taking into account air traffic control (ATC) influence upon flight safety, problem solution of ATC danger estimation that may appear under conditions of aircraft flight levels separation failure is permanently urgent. For that purpose term set of linguistic variable “risk level” was formed. This set includes terms “very high”, “high”, “above common”, “common”, “below common”, “low” “very low”. Using modified Cooper-Harper scale and information gather method that may be described as “point on research interval” along with membership function construction procedure based on “supplementary matrices”, fuzzy generic models of 132 ATC students attitude to 10-kilometer interval between aircrafts (for horizontal en-route flight in АС (Approach Control) ТМА (Terminal Control Area) with ATC AS (automated system)) violation was received. This allows to place in correspondence quantitative and qualitative factors of flight conditions and to define human factor influence upon acceptance of distances between aircrafts. Since formation of initial term set includes modifier “very”, use of procedures reverse to concentration and dilation may reduce term set to five terms in it. That is exact number of ICAO recommended quantity of danger identifiers. This allowed to transform correspondent membership functions. Received connections between quantitative and qualitative estimates of distances between aircrafts was basics for solving ICAO’s “risk triangle” in response to “event danger” parameter.

Tom Smart, Deseret News
SALT LAKE CITY — A Utah pilot walked away uninjured after the engines went out on his experimental aircraft Wednesday and he was forced to make an emergency landing near Saltair.
Britt Reed, a pilot for 33 years, said he was able to put the plane down safely in some mud on the banks of the Great Salt Lake. It was his first emergency landing.
"It was random luck there were no obstacles in the way," he said.
Reed was flying at about 5,500 feet when the plane began to shudder violently, he said.
Salt Lake City International Airport spokeswoman Barbara Gann said Reed contacted the airport by radio to report engine trouble before losing communication.
Reed put the plane down smoothly about 4:15 p.m. and walked away unharmed.
Officers on scene reported that Reed was attempting a flight from Salt Lake City to Tooele. He was flying a small open-cockpit aircraft.

For airplane and space lovers, there’s no better stop than at the Museum of Flight. A huge, multi-building complex, the Museum of Flight can feel intimidating at first, especially if you have small children. For true fans, a full day is needed, but the highlights can be hit in a few hours if needed. On our last visit, we were touring the museum with six kids, ages 2-13, and though it was challenging at times, we found something for everyone in each part of the complex. Below, I’ve broken down the museum by section, so you can be sure to visit the parts of most interest to your family.
The Great Gallery: This cavernous hanger houses fighter jets and other war air models, some of which kids can climb into to check out the cockpit. Also in this area are several flight simulators with 3-D screens (motion rides) that cost extra (and are not worth the price, though kids will beg to go). Stick to the ground floor where the ‘real’ planes are.
The Lear Gallery: The space exploration section of the museum houses much to see on the ‘next frontier’, including the newly acquired space shuttle trainer, which I actually saw brought into the museum by the famous ‘Guppy’ transporter when I visited with my family in late June of 2012. Kids will like the anti-gravity simulator and the early Apollo capsules.
The Personal Courage Wing: This wing can be overlooked (as we did on our last visit), but actually houses fascinating studies of courageous air force fighters and aviation pioneers.
The Red Barn: Most interesting to my school-aged kids was the Red Barn, which was the original building Boeing used for their early manufacturing. Inside, the history of Seattle area flight production and world war aviation history is displayed in a way that’s interesting even to preschoolers.
Outside Airpark: Outside the museum, a number of aircraft are available to tour on the massive grounds. On the day of our visit, we walked through a retired Air Force One, which was more than a little bit cool. A concorde and several military planes are also on-site, but were closed at the time.
Date last visited:
Distance from the interstate:
Five minutes off I-5.
Adults are $17, youth (5-17) are $9. Age four and under are free. Be sure to ask if your local science museum membership is honored. Many are! You can also use your CityPASS (see tip above).
Hours of operation:
10 am to 5 pm most days of the year. On the first Thursday of each month, the museum is open until 9 pm, and is free from 5 pm to 9 pm.
A full-service museum cafe offers everything from snacks to meals, and has several healthy options. Expect to pay museum prices, but not much else is nearby.
The museum is at 9404 E. Marginal Way S. From I-5, take Take exit 158 and merge right onto S. Boeing Access Road. Turn right at the first stoplight (E. Marginal Way S.) The Museum is on the right, 1/2 mile. Parking is free. | aerospace |

It cleared up a bit and the eruption was confirmed. Well, the folks on the International Space Station have produced some stunning shots (via Slate.com) of Pavlof’s volcano erupting and the plume spreading for 100s of kms.
Volcano observation from the ISS is actually a very handy tool, as most remote sensing satellites work only in a top down approach. The ability to have a human able to recognise something and look at it from side-on is still quite powerful!
Here’s to that great combination of stunning and deadly.

The event was held on a biennial basis through 2009 after which the organizers decided to turn it into an annual event. Nevertheless, most sailplane manufacturers continued to attend only every other year with a notably reduced attendance in 2010 and an anticipated revival in 2011. The upcoming April 13 -16, 2011 convention is expected to have over 600 exhibitors and the normal participation level from sailplane manufacturers.
[SC Editor's Note: Click on any image to see a high resolution version.]
Historically known as the home of Zeppelin dirigibles, the city of Friedrichshafen is located on the shores of Lake Constance in southwestern Germany. The nearest cities with international carrier service are Zurich, Switzerland (about 100km west), Munich, Germany (about 200k east), and Milan, Italy (about 340km south). Taking an eastbound train from Zurich and the Romanshorn ferry across Lake Constance is about the easiest way to get to the show, not to mention an excellent way to fit in a little pre-convention sightseeing .
The convention facilities are at the Friedrichshafen airport (on the north side of the runway from the main terminal) which allows for GA traffic to fly directly to the event. The facilities include a dozen impressive exhibit halls with restaurants and amenities. A large hangar for dirigibles is also on the field. Sailplanes are displayed in exhibit hall A1. Tickets are 15 Euro per day and children 14 and under have free admittance. (see www.aero-expo.com for details)
To help pull through the off-season and whet your appetite for this year’s event, here is a photo flashback (in alphabetical order) of some of the soaring highlights from the 2009 AERO convention. Enjoy!
The Alatus M electric self-launch glider produced by Aerola. The interesting design merges hang glider and sailplane technology. The fabric wings collapse towards the leading edge D-section for transport (compare right and left wings in the image). It is reportedly designed to German LTF/LFG rules and FAA Part 103 ultralight rules.
Akaflieg Darmstadt students Timo Adler, Benedict Krowarz, and Andreas Muth pose with their D43 2-seat side-by-side 18-meter fuselage prototype and the Soteira extraction rocket. The pure glider has a twin-wheel main gear and is intended for training. The Akaflieg Darmstadt display included a special fixture (green color in the image) for measuring test impact loads to the cockpit nose area. The fuselage structure also had two dedicated compartments, to each side of the fuselage just aft of the occupants, for a pair of pilot extraction ballistic recovery parachutes. The system, called Soteira (the Hellenistic name for the Greek savior goddess), includes an oversize cork-shaped or mushroom-like main rocket with a ring of small nozzles under its lip (yellow item in one of the students hands). To operate, the pilot unlatches the canopy in flight and then pulls a deployment handle which disconnects the seatbelts while pyrotechnic charges expel the main rockets clear of the airframe. Once the main rockets are clear, ignition occurs pulling the occupants out of the cockpit and extracting the parachutes from their storage compartments. Impressive developments for sure. I give it an A+.
Steffen Geinitz and Len Schumann of the Akaflieg Stuttgart show their concept model for their Hydrogenius hydrogen-electric sailplane. The actual aircraft is well under construction.
AlbaStar had their prototype AS18M two-seat sailplane on display. This is a lightweight 18m sailplane with tandem seating, single-piece canopy, and self-launching.
Alexander-Schleicher designers Michael Greiner, Martin Heide, and Gerhard Waibel (retired) pose with the prototype fuselage of the new ASH-30Mi Open Class two-seater. Martin has strengthened the cockpit for 53 kg/m2 wing loading and 700kg max takeoff weight and also reworked the airfoil and control surfaces to improve on the ASH-25 performance and handling. Schleicher also had an ASG-29 with a two-cycle sustainer engine on display. Michael explained how he designed the propeller to reduce noise and vibration while improving the climb rate.
AliSport had several powered sailplanes on display. Their 13.3 meter Silent 2 Targa light-sailplane with its unique variable incidence horizontal stabilizer was prominently displayed on a Hangar Caddy. Adjacent to it was a jet-powered self-launcher Silent 2 Targa and a Silent 2 with integrated side-launching ballistic recovery parachute.
From AMS Flight, the LS-4b sailplane and Carat A motorglider. AMS also manufactures the LS-6 series of sailplanes and the future Magnus, Mingus, and Maxus.
Alfred Spindelberger of Cobra Trailer points out hinged holders that swing inboard so that wing extensions can be removed through the front hatch. He and his wife Agnes explained that the big news in trailer design is accommodating the larger multispan gliders in what would typically be considered a 15m trailer chassis length.
Composit Airplanes had their Viva side-by-side two-seat motorglider on display. The glider has a retractable mono-wheel reminiscent of the RF-5 and Europa motorgliders. The intriguing feature was the flush-folding propeller on the nose.
The Banjo light glider was on display at the Deutscher Aero Club stand.
Volker Halbe and DG Flugzeugbau owner Karl-Friedrich Weber pose in front of the latest DG 1001M two-seat self-launcher. The powerplant uses a fuel-injected two-cylinder Solo engine driving the propeller via a steel chain and sprockets instead of the typical reinforced rubber belts and pulleys as seen in most installations. Upon seeing our surprise, Volker joked that this might be the first time since the Wright Flyer. Joke aside, the motorcycle world has used chains for years in more demanding applications so it should be a direct alternative. Volker explained that the landing gear was electric (with an emergency release system) and that the cockpit was very spacious. DG also had their new 808C single-seater on display with special features for competition: bug wiper garage, noah exit system, Piggott airbrake hook, and dump tank.
Jakub Vimr, head of marketing at HpH, poses with the prototype 304M. He explained that the 304M uses the Walter Binder self-launch powerplant with the Solo 2-cylinder engine. The retraction system uses lithium batteries and gives a deployment time of 10 seconds and a retraction time of 8 seconds. Power-on climb is stated at 3.5 meters/sec. Fuel is stored in 30 liter wing tanks which feed into a 17 liter fuselage tank. HpH also had a jet version on display.
Ok, it’s not a glider or even glider related, but this design study (Aeromobil) from Stefan Klein looked a bit surreal - folding wings, retracting front wheels, a swing-forward canopy, and three-bladed pusher prop (with slim ground clearance). No word on whether it is airworthy (or roadworthy).
North American agent for Lange Flugzeugbau, Dave Nadler, poses with the sustainer version of the Antares. The installation uses a Solo two-cycle engine and the landing gear is electric (as on the original Antares). Lange also had their electric self-launcher and pure sailplane versions on display.
Andrej Kolar and Erazem Polutnik of Naviter display the latest version of SeeYou Mobile. They stated that this is the first soaring mobile software that runs on PDAs such as iPAQ Travel Companion and Navigon that use the Windows CE operating system. It opens up a new range of PDA hardware that can be used in the cockpit with the same user interface as before (they commented about the challenges of reprogramming for the CE operating system).
Robert Mudd, New Mexico based representative for Pipistrel, was on hand promoting the Taurus and Apis. Electric and internal combustion versions were on display. Robert reported a strong interest in the electric-powered versions.
Californian inventor and record pilot Eric Raymond was present with his Sunseeker solar-powered aircraft. He was in Europe for a solar-powered tour and assisting with Piccard’s Solar-Impulse project.
This SCE Cirrus 05 simulator had a steady stream of pilots and future pilots lined up for a test flight.
The venerable Scheibe Falke touring motorglider with a Rotax 912 engine. A white Turbo-Falke with a 914 engine was also on display.
Tilo Holighaus of Schempp-Hirth discusses the new Arcus with the author. He conveyed that the fuselage is similar to the Duo with regards to comfort, however it is not interchangeable because of the new wings. He explained that a network of people worked on the project including Dr. Mark Maughmer of Penn State for the winglets and wing airfoil. He did not envision the Arcus as a replacement for the Duo, stating the Arcus is meant for Open Class racing and long cross country flights while the Duo Discus is more suited for the multi-purpose club environment with basic training and early cross country.
Also not a glider, but the two-seat Shark had LED collision-avoidance strobe lighting in the trailing edge of the rudder and in the wingtips. A very clean installation in a retractable-gear sport aircraft with elegant lines and composite finish work almost on par with the sailplane industry. All the exhibit halls had impressive timber roof structures.
The unique Stemme S10 with centrally mounted engine and folding propeller hidden inside a sliding nose cone.
From SZD the Perkoz and Acro. In its full span Standard Class configuration, the SZD-59 Acro reportedly has the same flying qualities and soaring performance as the well known Standard JANTAR, from which it was derived, except with 150 liter water tank capacity and 285 km/h top speed. Removing the wingtips from the SZD-59 transforms into a 13.2 meter, fast-rolling, unlimited acrobatic glider rated to +7/-5 g. The manufacturer claims this is two unique gliders in one. The two-seat SZD-54 Perkoz is also aerobatic and has a span of 20 meters.
TeST had their two-seat TST-14M Bonus self-launcher on display. This is the same aircraft that airshow pilot Bob Carlton of Albuquerque, New Mexico has successfully converted to a jet self-launch using the PBS engine. TeST also had their TST-10M Atlas single-seat self-launcher on display.
Tost Flugzeuggerätebau had a nice display with wheels, tires, tow hooks, and other components.
The Apis2 self-launch light sailplane by Martin Wezel Flugzeugtechnik has a 15m wingspan. The canopy is side-opening and the airframe includes a ballistic recovery parachute. The engine is a single-cylinder Hirth F33 mounted inverted at the upper end of a steel pylon and the carbon-fiber propeller is ground adjustable.

The normal taxi route from new runway 10 Right to the gate follows parts of three taxiways to wind around one runway instead of crossing over it, which would create potential collision risks.
But the taxi route then requires a turn to directly cross a different runway — staying behind planes that are taking off on that runway — followed by another turn, and then another runway to cross over, and a little more taxiing until reaching the core of the airport, where a left or right turn is required, depending on what concourse the plane is assigned.
When American Flight 1333 finally reached the fork in the taxiway requiring a left or right turn near the terminal core, a right turn onto taxiway Bravo would have taken the plane directly to its gate in Terminal 3 on the south end of the terminal buildings. But the Chicago Department of Aviation had closed a portion of Bravo because of Lima Lima construction, said FAA spokesman Tony Molinaro.
So the plane had to hang a left and taxi clockwise all the way around the terminals to reach Gate K5 at the south end of the terminal complex, Molinaro said.
City aviation spokesman Owen Kilmer said short-term pain will lead to "long-term benefits for passengers, including reduced taxi times and a more efficient process for aircraft landing at O'Hare.''
I'm still 2½ hours from landing...I just hope I'm not 3 hours from the gate. (Probably not, as flights from San Francisco tend to use the north corridors and land runway 9L/27R.) | aerospace |

This layer is typically composed of straps of high-strength material such as Kevlar® brand fiber or Vectran® liquid crystal polymer fiber. Because these straps exhibit non-linear behavior under load, analysis is complex, especially when there are rigid pass-throughs (doors, windows, fluid ports, hatches, connecting tunnels) incorporated into the inflatable structure. This innovation allows accurate analysis and design of the straps that connect to the rigid pass-throughs. JSC has applied for patent protection for this technology.

For years, it hung in the lobby of the Circus Circus in Las Vegas, and is autographed by some of the best R/C flyers in the world. Bill Bennett, the owner of the Circus Circus was a promoter of R/C competition, as well as a flyer himself, and held several contests in Las Vegas at a field that he had built. This pattern flyer model was one of Joe Bridi’s designs called the “Dirty Birdy.” It features the autographs of all the participants in the 1976 world championships for R/C flying held in Las Vegas.
Joe Bridi donated a portion of his engine collection, along with some R/C aircraft, in July 2012. Mr. Bridi is a long-time champion R/C aircraft flyer. At one time he had a collection of over 600 model engines. Many have since been sold, but he has donated some unusual and prototype engines that he flew in competition over the years. The museum also displays some of Joe’s R/C aircraft, featuring examples of some of his most popular kits. Most were his trade show display models.

Due to its continued presence on the ISS and future missions to the Moon and Mars, the current number seems to be low.
Are there enough astronauts at NASA? As shown, the space company is concerned about the situation A statement Dated January 11, 2022, ” Management of NASA Astronauts »(” Management of NASA Astronauts D), Found By Digital Trends on January 16th.
“One of the smallest astronauts of the last 20 years”
⁇ When NASA enters a new era of human spaceflight, including the return In the moon And maybe humans can land Tuesday, Efficient management of its astronauts […] Essential to the success of the agency “, We can read through the introduction. However, the space agency explains that its team of astronauts peaked in 2000 with 150 members. First,” Body size [d’astronautes] Decreased since the completion of the space shuttle mission in 2011, it now stands at 44, making it one of the smallest astronauts in the last 20 years. The document says.
At the same time, NASA has many ambitions for its astronauts: it not only wants to maintain its presence in Earth’s orbit (International Space Station), but also its purpose. More in space, Especially with Its Artemis project And this Planet Tuesday.
Currently, NASA believes that its training, training and recruitment of astronauts is primarily tailored to its needs in the ISS. Teams of 3 to 4 astronauts will be sent to the station for the next 5 years, and the agency has arranged to have enough astronauts for its flights. Nevertheless, the document reminds us that in 2022 and 2023, NASA will run the risk of non-recruitment, according to an analysis carried out many years ago. This is also the reason At the end of 2021 10 new applicants were selected.
In addition to ISS crew flights, additional flights are expected in the coming years – and we should also consider the unpredictability of having to replace astronauts on some missions. While NASA expects space travel to definitely increase with its Artemis program, it could be in trouble if its astronauts are not big in the future. Group restructuring can cause work delays, which are not explicitly considered desirable.
The report concludes with several recommendations for NASA to change the situation. In particular, it is proposed to reconsider whether the current used margin of defense, which represents 15% of the minimum number of astronauts, should be revised upwards. | aerospace |

Since its formation in 19581, it has pioneered in space science, yet is also renowned for its large budget. NASA has the highest budget of any space agency, $18.6 billion2 in 2015, the equivalent of every American paying $54 towards the agency3, meaning 0.14% of total GDP is spent on NASA3 . This money is spent on the ISS, sending astronauts, probes and satellites into space, astrophysics and planetary science research, maintaining and developing NASA’s space telescopes (the Wide Field Infrared Survey telescope searching for dark energy and exoplanets, the James Webb Space Telescope and the Hubble Space Telescope) and developing spacecraft2. Space exploration is an incredibly expensive process with one shuttle launch costing $450 million4 however NASA’s colossal budget benefits the USA greatly; the agency employs 18,000 people5 as astronauts, engineers, scientists and teachers and G. Scott Hubbard, former director of the NASA Ames Research Center estimates that every dollar spent on NASA returns $8 to the economy6.While this figure is an estimate, it demonstrates NASA’s worth and capacity for money making. NASA works on pioneering research and as its patents and licenses return to the US treasury, it
Stars, mankind has been staring up at them for thousands of years. Over those many years dreams and mythology have been created to explain those lights in the heavens. Mankind grew sick of just staring, and decided to find ways to discover more about it. Eventually over hundreds of years mankind has, been able to send men to the moon, launch satellites into space, and even send rovers to Mars. These feats of science would have been unimaginable hundreds of years ago, and to others that heard of it was only science fiction. With all these accomplishments, it seems humanity has a bright future of further discovery, but a recent development has surfaced regarding Space Exploration. That debate regards the future of space Exploration, and whether or not It should be continued through NASA or private companies. Various opinions have come from all over the scientific and astronomy concerned world. Others side that NASA should continue its lead into the future, because of its contributions to discovery and the scientific world. Others blame that NASA’s lack of progress in previous projects has lead to a disbelief of Nasa, and a turn to Private industries due to their smaller budgets and recent success. Even some see a balanced future of NASA working with private companies, and even healthy competition that will allow a faster progress into the future. Mankind has always had the desire to reach the unreachable, and it cannot go forward
In the past 50 years, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) has sent out many planned space exploration missions which have lead to numerous advantages in society and culture. NASA’s technologies benefit American lives with the innumerable important breakthroughs by creating new markets that have spurred the economy and changed countless lives in many ways. NASA is a federal agency and receives its fundings from the annual federal budget passed by the United States Congress. However, there are conflicting opinions that consider whether or not funding for NASA is a waste of government spending.
While many people support funding NASA and agree with the organization’s goals, there a good number of people who do not. A common reason for this is that they believe that the space program should focus on discovering things that can benefit us immediately, not in the future. This is a valid argument because there
As President Eisenhower once stated, “Every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed” (qtd in DeGroot). According to Jerry DeGroot, a lecturer in the Department of Modern History at the University of St. Andrews and author of the widely acclaimed biography “Douglas Haig”, every year, the United States federal government funds the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) with over $17 billion. When Keith Yost, a professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), was asked about government funding on NASA, he replied, “NASA is not only spending money, but also the sweat of our laborers, the genius of our scientists, and the hopes of our children.” As a powerhouse in the work industry, NASA is taking away from the remainder of the country. Before venturing off into space, the US needs to realize the importance of tackling the issues that lie before the citizens here on Earth. As Richard Truly, a retired Vice Admiral in the United States Navy, stated in agreement, “...I didn’t go to NASA for the United States to make international commitments that wouldn’t keep, to design space vehicles that will never be built (or will be then fail), or to make promises to the American people that will never be kept.” It would be in the best interest for the citizens of the United States federal government to cut NASA funding.
America’s funding for NASA during the space race in 1966 was 4.41% of the federal budget yet in modern times this expenditure has fallen to only 0.5% of the federal budget. One might ask why, but the greater question is why isn’t anything being done about this dearth of funding for NASA. America should once again fund the exploration of space with a renewed ferocity because of the various educational, economical, and technological benefits of having well-funded space agencies.
President Ronald Reagan inherited the space policy of his predecessor, Jimmy Carter and was not satisfied with its current objectives and lack of direction (Logsdon, 1995). He put together a transition team to draft a new chapter for NASA which was left in an “untenable position” by Carter’s lack of direction for the agency. The NASA transition team leader, George Low, remarked that NASA can be “the best in American accomplishment and inspiration for all citizens” (Logsdon, 1995). The team provided input to Reagan that would drive space policy during his eight year tenure.
“One small step for man, one giant step for mankind” - Neil Armstrong. Humans have been fascinated by stars and planets from the beginning of time.The human race has made some amazing discoveries; from drawings on cave walls, to putting somebody in space. Discoveries in space include finding new planets, technology, and theories. In recent years, there have been less discoveries due to a cut in NASA’s budget. This is because instead of the money going to NASA, the money goes to other organizations. The U.S should increase NASA’s budget because it helps find planets that could support life, creates more everyday objects, and gives ideas of how the earth might end.
Carl Sagan once said “every planetary civilization will be endangered by impacts from space, every surviving civilization is obliged to become spacefaring--not because of exploratory or romantic zeal, but for the most practical reason imaginable: staying alive... If our long-term survival is at stake, we have a basic responsibility to our species to venture to other worlds.” The National Aeronautics and Space Administration or NASA, is executing Sagan’s words every day. President Dwight D. Eisenhower created NASA in 1958 with the purpose of peaceful rather than military space exploration and research to contribute to society. Just 11 years after the creation, NASA put Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin on the moon, the first humans to
Space has always been an unknown to the humanity, and therefore humanity has in insatiable desire to know as much as possible about the area beyond the Earth's atmosphere. Exploring space can lead to many new and exciting discoveries such as (see hubble, planets, kepler, moon rocks etc). When the United States first entered the realm of space in the [1960s], NASA had much funding. However, the motivation of this funding was not for science – it was political, as the government was determined to beat Russia in the Cold War Space Race. Today, as there is no political motivator as great as the Cold War, NASA is faced with a lack of funding and must make hard decisions. They must decide between the adventure and excitement of sending manned missions
Look up at the night sky, see the stars, planets and our closest neighbor, the moon. Every human being at one point in his or her life has done this same thing. It is only natural to look up and wonder in awe at whats out there. Human beings are made with an innate desire to expand and explore. In the 1950s when there was no more of Earth to discover, people started looking upwards at the sky to satisfy this internal desire. Hungry for dominance and technological innovation, the United States created NASA and embarked on what would become the greatest voyage in human history. Throughout the second half of the twentieth century, space travel and the technology which powered it advanced far beyond what any prior civilization could imagine. Inspiring in humanity hope for a future not on Earth. An analysis of the effects of the NASA space program on the United States reveals a radical shift in educational policies, an influx of new an innovative technologies, and a renewed motivation and hope for the future.
“Sputnik marked the beginning of the "space race," a period of nearly twenty years during which fierce US and Soviet competition spurred both countries to make rapid progress in aeronautic engineering,” (Lee). This period of time birthed a new program from the American government, called the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, or NASA. NASA has been building rockets, training astronauts, and studying space for the benefit of science, the government, and the people of America since 1958. Unfortunately, many people don't realize how important NASA is, and there have been efforts made to stop the government from funding NASA. This program is essential for increasing knowledge of outer space, protecting planet Earth, and creating
Mankind has always been fascinated with exploring the unknown. From sailing to distant lands to someday setting foot on other planets, the spirit of exploration is the same. Bur now with the current economic situation and the high cost of sending people to space, NASA is being looked at as a way to free up some much needed funds. Although, there is many problems here on planet Earth that need addressing, the benefits of space exploration far out weight the disadvantages. Space exploration has given us more advanced technology, advances in the medical field, and a boost to the economy and these facts cannot be disputed.
In the early 60s, President John F. Kennedy led America into a space race against the Soviet Union. American men and women across the nation backed this goal, allowing NASA to take great leaps in advancing its space exploration programs. This unified nation fulfilled its goal, and Neil Armstrong became the first man to walk on the moon. However, since then, America’s space exploration has only declined. Funding for NASA has been drastically cut, thus greatly limiting the opportunities for exploring the cosmos. Understanding and exploring the universe is detrimental to the advancement of the United States and opens the door for vast possibilities. If the government chooses to limits its own advancement, then that responsibility must fall | aerospace |

The Geospace Dynamics Constellation (GDC) is NASA's next strategic Living With a Star mission. GDC's goals are: 1) Understand how the high-latitude ionosphere-thermosphere system responds to variable solar wind/magnetosphere forcing; and 2) Understand how internal processes in the global ionosphere-thermosphere system redistribute mass, momentum, and energy.
Planned for launch by the end of the decade, GDC will use six identical observatories, each identically instrumented to fully characterize the magnetospheric drivers of the I-T system as well as the global response of the ionized and neutral gases. GDC will do this with a series of orbital configurations that will enable it to study the widest range of spatial and temporal scales to date, ranging from hundreds of kilometers and several seconds to tens of minutes, and extending through the regional to the global scale.
This talk presents GDC's current status, measurement capabilities, sampling scheme, and model development efforts and show how GDC will et into the larger Heliophysics ecosystem, by 1) obtaining critically needed scientific observations; 2) providing a source for real-time space weather and situational awareness, as well as retrospective studies to further the science of space weather; 3) serving as a "strategic hub" for other space-based and ground- based efforts that want to leverage GDC to perform complementary science.
Doug Rowland is the Chief of the Laboratory for Ionosphere, Thermosphere, Mesosphere Physics at NASA Goddard and serves as the GDC Project Scientist. His research has primarily focused on sounding rocket measurements of magnetosphere-ionosphere-thermosphere coupling, using double probe electric field instruments. When not working he enjoys board games and karaoke and is writing a novel based on the life of Catherine Barton, intellectual, socialite, and niece of Isaac Newton. | aerospace |

There are a lot of virtual airlines out there for you to pick from and we're honored that you chose to fly with us! We try hard to make this a place where you can increase your knowledge about flight simming, find camaraderie, and most of all...HAVE FUN!
If you are just starting out with virtual airlines, there are a couple things you'll need to know to get off on the right foot. First, you'll need to get a handle on the plane you are flying. That's what the "New Pilot's Course" (Flights TN8900 A through E) is for. This gives you a chance to get the feel of the BE-350, and the web pages explaining the flights are designed to give you enough detail to get through it successfully. If you look ahead to the more advanced check rides, you'll see that not as much detail is included. If you run into trouble while flying any of these training flights and find you’re getting frustrated, well, that's what I'm here for. Drop me an e-mail and I'll do my best to get you flying straight and level again.
Both the "New Pilot's Course" and "Procedure Flights" are eligible for double credit hours the first time that you fly them. You are allowed to repeat these flights as often as you like, but the double credit can be earned only once for each flight. When you fly these for the first time, file a pilot report (PIREP) with the amount of time doubled. Also place a note in the comments section stating that this is for double credit. Anytime you repeat the flight after that, please put an additional number after the flight number, signifying what repetition this flight is for you. Example: TN8900C3 for the third time you fly TN8900C.
As you fly a particular flight, there are two things you will want to record. One is the amount of time you spend on the flight. You can do this by noting the time you start and finish, or you can use the logbook feature of Flight Simulator. The other is the amount of fuel you consumed. You'll need to record the amount of fuel you have when you begin. (If you took off with full fuel, you could reset that at the end of the flight to find out what it was.) Also note that we record our fuel in POUNDS and not GALLONS. I find it easiest to simply record the time I departed and how many pounds of fuel I had on a post-it note near my PC. At the end of the flight I check the time and fuel again and just do the math. The time is reported in tenths of an hour. So an hour and a half is reported as 1.5 hours. Fuel can be rounded to the nearest pound. The departure and arrival times are listed as local on the PIREP form, so the amount of time you fly may not look right if you compare them to the totals.
So start yourself off with the "New Pilot's Course". Once you complete that, you'll be ready for the CFO Check ride. I hope to see you around the training department for a refresher course now and again. Maybe come back and do a Procedure Flight once in awhile? Also make sure you find your way into the Pilot's Pub. That's a great place to get to know some of your compatriots. It's also where you can find out about online flights and chats.
Again, thank you for choosing S.P.A. I look forward to seeing you "up there".
There are some very basic training videos I made of a short flight terminating in an ILS approach listed on the SPA MAIN page using a Cessna 172 for those of you who may be new to flight simulation.

Since the beginning of the space age, engineers have devised ways to complete spacecraft construction and repairs that would work in the vacuum of space. The International Space Station was assembled from parts sent into orbit separately. Astronauts repaired the flawed Hubble telescope. NASA has even developed a special handheld laser to perform welds in tight spaces in zero gravity.
What you should know about welding in space includes how to cope with zero gravity, how to select techniques that don’t produce heat, and how to choose methods that can work in a vacuum.
The first astronauts to attempt welding in space were Russians Georgi Shonin and Valeri Kubasov. In 1969, they tested three different methods of welding from within their spacecraft. They weren’t skilled welders, and the experiment required them to use remote controls to operate their “Vulkan furnace” welding tool.
They tried low-pressure plasma arc welding, electron beam welding, and consumable electrode welding. In the process, they nearly burned through their capsule, which would have meant certain death. Fortunately, the capsule held together.
Challenges of Zero Gravity
While welders have always used clamps and other tools to hold workpieces together, additional tools are necessary to hold the workpieces, tools, and astronauts in place to complete the job in the zero-gravity environment of space.
Tools floating around a space capsule are dangerous and could damage sensitive equipment. If you lose control of a tool while outside the capsule on a spacewalk, it’s gone forever.
In the vacuum of space, it’s difficult to control shielding gases or generate heat using traditional welding methods. Cold welding requires astronauts to remove all oxidation from two similar metals and apply sufficient force to bond the parts to each other by exchanging electrons. It only works if you are welding together the same types of metal and there’s no oxygen present.
In fact, without the protective coating of oxygenation, parts made of the same type of metal will stick together in space fairly easily. The atoms in each part have no way of knowing they are separate pieces in a vacuum, so they stick together. Gemini IV astronauts had trouble closing their capsule’s hatch after a spacewalk, possibly due to metal parts of the same substance sticking together. Spacecraft designers must be conscious of this phenomenon when selecting materials for construction.
NASA has developed new welding techniques for use in space that use induction or friction to create heat to weld parts and lasers to attach small parts to each other.
Metalworking shops have used lasers for decades to cut or engrave metal. Laser tube cutting machines can cut lengths of metal tubes but can also cut flat pieces, create precision holes in metal, and cut angled pieces so long as they can be fed through the machine.
These machines are too big to launch into space, but the theory of using laser light to cut metal has proved useful to NASA through licensing of its handheld laser.
Earthbound welders can learn what to know about welding in space, but they’ll need to learn new techniques and understand how to use new tools to ply their trade in the vacuum of space and in zero gravity. | aerospace |

HADS (High Speed Acquisition & Distribution system) is a new International Space Station project that will be realized by SPACEBEL, for the account of EADS-Astrium.
Several scientific experiments will take place on the International Space Station (ISS), some of them generating a huge amount of data – mainly video and science data – that have to be transferred to the ground for analysis. In order to download this kind of data to the Columbus Control Centre in München, which concentrates all ISS traffic, a high speed data stream will be used instead of the classical low to medium speed telemeasurement / telecommand (TM/TC) link.
The HADS system will be located on the ground, and its role will be to handle and ingest this high speed data stream through a series of successive operations ranging from raw archiving over time restoration and decoding to final distribution to the several Facility Responsible Centres, with, in the end, a perfect re-synchronization of the various elements of the data stream.
In other words, the challenge of HADS is to do the job in real-time. | aerospace |

The second was launched Nov. 5, 1995. Beginning with the fourth launch in 2000, the satellites will have greatly increased capacity because of an additional medium data rate payload. A total of three launches remain.
Milstar is a joint service satellite communications system that provides worldwide secure, jam resistant and low probability of detection nuclear-event resistant communications for all forces across the spectrum of conflict.
The multi-satellite constellation will link command authorities with a wide variety of resources, including ships, submarines, aircraft, land vehicles and manned-portable systems.
Milstar is the most advanced military communications satellite system to date and represents the future of the U.S. communications capability. The operational Milstar satellite constellation will consist of four satellites positioned around the Earth in geosynchronous orbits. Each mid-latitude satellite weighs approximately 10,000 pounds (4,536 kilograms) and have a design life of 10 years.
Each Milstar satellite serves as a smart switchboard in space by directing traffic from terminal to terminal anywhere on the Earth. Since the satellite actually processes the communications signal and can link with other Milstar satellites through crosslinks, the requirement for ground controlled switching is significantly reduced. The satellite establishes, maintains, reconfigures and disassembles required communications circuits as directed by the users. Milstar terminals provide encrypted voice, data, teletype or facsimile communications. A key goal of Milstar is to provide interoperable communications among the users of Army, Navy, and Air Force Milstar terminals.
Geographically dispersed mobile and fixed control stations provide survivable and enduring operational command and control for the Milstar constellation.
The Milstar system is composed of three segments: space (the satellites), terminal (the users), and mission control. Air Force Materiel Command's Space and Missile Systems Center (SMC) at Los Angeles AFB, CA, is responsible for development and acquisition of the Milstar space and mission control segments. The Electronics Systems Center (ESC) at Hanscom AFB, MA is responsible for the Air Force portion of the terminal segment development and acquisition. The 4th Space Operations Squadron at Schriever AFB, CO, is the front line organization providing real time satellite platform control and communications payload management. | aerospace |

An unknown pilot once said something during his Takeoff in Alaska, “It’s always better to be down on the ground wishing you were up in the air than up in the air wishing you were down on the ground.”
You can fly without landing properly but you can’t fly without performing a successful takeoff. Taking off is the most important and one of the most stressful things you and your aircraft do. The last article we wrote and published, was about How You can fly like a Pro
Aircraft taking off use maximum power very close to the ground and in an environment rife with the potential of foreign object damage. Once airborne, you are flying at a speed much closer to stall than you do at cruise, you are in a crowded environment with other aircraft and you have to make quite a few important decisions in a very short time.
Here are six hard-earned tips I can give you to make your takeoffs equal your landings.
#1 You don’t have to go
Landings are mandatory, takeoffs are not. The 2010 Nall Report , a safety summary published by the AOPA Air Safety Foundation, recorded 153 takeoff accidents for the year. While this number is dropping in recent times, I think you will agree with me that there would have been no takeoff accidents at all if each and every one of those 153 pilots had elected to cancel their takeoff.
Of course, airplanes are made to takeoff and fly and ultimately there is no way to guess which ones will go smoothly and which ones will become a notation in a yearly air safety report, but you can improve the odds significantly and systematically.
When in doubt about the weather, your aircraft’s performance or your ability to handle the flight there is no shame in backing down and flying another day. Some of the very best takeoffs in your life will be the ones you don’t attempt to.
#:2 Remember the Six P’s; Prior Performance Planning Prevents Pathetically Poor Performance
Right after takeoff is the wrong time to find out you did your weight and balance wrong or miscalculated your bird’s takeoff performance. After takeoff climb performance can also be a worry for you if are leaving a mountain airport or are operating at a high-density altitude.
Many DP’s (departure procedures) specify minimum climb rates and have altitude restrictions at various waypoints. Make sure you can achieve them or tell ATC you can’t before accepting the clearance.
Other performance things that should be on your mind are precipitation, ice and snow, and possible runway contamination. Takeoff numbers in your POH are predicated on a clean runway and a standard day.
#3: You can’t take off if you don’t get to the runway safely.
Taxi charts are always more useful to you if you can see them when you need them. If you are told by ground control to: “Taxi two-seven left via the inner, wedge, cargo. Hold short of two-seven right at Tango Three and contact tower.” (Old Chicago O’Hare taxi clearance) it is nice to have the chart in front of you.
Controllers working in busy airports always say they would be happy to give you a progressive taxi, but I don’t think they mean it. No excuse in today’s environment with all the publications and electronic toys available for not knowing where you are going to the airport.
Very few fatal collisions between aircraft happen during taxi, but a whole lot of expensive non-lethal ones do. Aircraft to aircraft or aircraft to ground service equipment accidents are more frequent than the statistics show because many of them go unreported.
When you do have the taxi chart on your knee or on some sort of electronic screen please remember to stop taxiing before you spend a lot of time with your head down reading it. On two-person flight crews, the non-taxiing pilot reads the chart.
On a single pilot aircraft, reading a taxi chart while moving is as dangerous as a sixteen-year-old texting and singing while driving.
#4: Belts, Sea, and Pedals
I got in the habit a long time ago of jiggling in my seat just before takeoff so I could be sure my seat wasn’t going to make a run for the aft end of the airplane when I applied the power.
This has happened to me once in a Cardinal RG and once in a DC-9. Both times I was lucky and somebody was sitting in the right seat ready to take over the controls and save the day.
I am sure I have looked silly to various co-pilots engineers and passengers over the years as I give my seat a hard wiggle, but pilots flying backward away from flight controls during takeoffs aren’t having any fun.
Quite a few pilots like to be casual and keep their seats far enough back that if they needed to use a full throw on their rudder pedals or use full braking they wouldn’t be able to. Don’t be shy. Make sure you can reach and use those pedals.
Seatbelts and shoulder harness use ought to be routine for everybody by now, but you’d be surprised how many pilots don’t use the harnesses. A rough aborted takeoff is easier for you to personally recover from if your face isn’t broken. Make shoulder harnesses part of your pre-takeoff and pre-approach checks and your adoring public will thank you.
#5: Don’t be the “Weather Ship”
There are days when you wonder if you should be flying at all. Weather can be terrible, wind can be harsh and light rain can turn into light freezing rain a few hundred feet up. If you are worried at all about the conditions for your takeoff and there is somebody in the takeoff line that is more eager than you to try things out, let them.
Professional pilots call the aircraft carrying these intrepid pilots the “weather ship”. When worried about the ride around a bunch of thunderstorms in the terminal area why not let them try it first, and if they can, report back to you and ATC?
Many times you will feel foolish and cowardly, but on other occasions, you’ll feel vindicated when you hear: “tower, don’t send anybody else through here – severe turbulence lightning and very heavy rain…aghhhhhh!”
#6: Enjoy the Ride
With all this talk of safety hazards, pitfalls and pilots wiggling their butts we should not miss the point that almost every takeoff goes flawlessly. The power does not falter, the winds don’t blow in and smite you, wake turbulence is successfully avoided and your aircraft performs like a homesick angel.
Enjoy the fact that you are living in an age in which flight is not only possible, it is fairly easy. You are one of the few people living on earth able to combine a beautiful piece of machinery, a strip of pavement, grass or water along with some air and go flying.
Any aircraft, from the oldest Cessna 150 to the newest Boeing 787 begins to make the magic happen only when a savvy pilot like you rolls it onto the active and pushes the power up. | aerospace |

When a Apollo 11 lunar procedure descended to a Moon on Jul 20, 1969, NASA wanderer Charles Duke was tensely monitoring a spacecraft’s nail-biting swell from Mission Management in Houston.
Because a Apollo 11 CAPCOM (Capsule Communicator) during Johnson House Heart Duke was a essential hyperlink between a moody controllers during Mission Management and astronauts Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin as they headed towards a lunar floor.
The touchdown was by distant a tensest second of Apollo 11, in line with a prior Air Power pilot. “It was unequivocally nearby an cancel due to gasoline issues,” he sensitive Fox Information via a New York Metropolis arise hosted by lens builder Zeiss, that offering visual imagination for a Apollo, Gemini and Mercury missions. “We have been all holding a exhale – ‘are we going to make it?’”

“Through a touchdown, we referred to as ’30 seconds’ from Mission Management, that meant that they’d 30 seconds to land, or a following name could be an abort,” Duke defined. “After we perceived all a approach down to 4 % gasoline remaining within a skirmish tanks, a goal order was ‘name an abort’ in a eventuality that they weren’t on a bottom.”

When Armstrong famously radioed to justify that “the Eagle has landed,” Duke’s response additionally grew to turn a partial of a Apollo 11 lexicon. “We duplicate we on a bottom. You bought a garland of group about to uncover blue—we’re respiratory once more. Thanks lots,” he mentioned.

An AFP reports says Boeing reportedly suspended release of the 737 MAX just days before its first commercial delivery last year due to an engine issue, according to airline safety and product review site airlineratings.com.
Boeing 737 Max 8 is a more fuel-efficient update of Boeing's popular 737, the best-selling airliner ever. Lion Air had received the jet involved in the crash just two months ago. Lion Air became the first airline to get a 737 Max, in May 2017, and has received 13 of the 201 Max planes that Boeing has delivered, according to an agency report. Boeing has taken nearly 4,800 orders for the plane, including 201 from Lion Air. Southwest Airlines was the first U.S. carrier to fly the plane and has taken 23 of them.
Two Indian carriers, Jet Airways and SpiceJet, have ordered 225 and up to 205, respectively, of this latest version of the popular Boeing 737 which has always been the mainstay of their fleets, according to a TOI report. At the moment, Jet is flying five B737 Max and SpiceJet has one.
A senior official of the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) said, “Since six Boeing 737 Max are operating with two Indian operators, Jet Airways and SpiceJet, we are in touch with Boeing and Federal Aviation Administration (US aviation regulator) to know more details about the unfortunate accident. Boeing has informed that as on September 2018, 219 B737 Max airplanes have been delivered across the world. As far as operation of B737 Max with Indian operators is concerned, no technical issue has been experienced by the operators.”
An AFP reports says Boeing reportedly suspended release of the 737 MAX just days before its first commercial delivery last year due to an engine issue, according to airline safety and product review site airlineratings.com. The engines were a product of a joint venture between US-based General Electric and France's Safran Aircraft Engines.
In a statement, Chicago-based Boeing Co. said it was "deeply saddened" by the crash and was prepared to offer technical help to investigators. Boeing shares fell on news of the accident. They were down $12.47, or 3.5 percent, at $346.80 in early-afternoon trading, according to an agency report. Jim Corridore, an analyst for CFRA Research, said Boeing planes had a good safety record and the accident was unlikely to hurt orders for new planes.
The brand new Boeing that crashed into the sea had a technical issue that required the jet to be briefly grounded for repairs. "It got repaired in Denpasar (in Bali) and then it was flown to Jakarta," Edward Sirait told AFP, without specifying the nature of the problem. "Engineers in Jakarta received notes and did another repair before it took off" on Monday. That's the normal procedure for any plane."
Lion Air said a technical logbook detailed an "unreliable" airspeed reading instrument on the Bali-Jakarta flight on Sunday and different altitude readings on the captain and first officer's instruments, according to the BBC. | aerospace |

A low-flying airplane will soon be visible to residents in the multi-state area comprising the Mississippi Alluvial Plain (MAP), marking the beginning of the next stage of the U.S. Geological Survey’s high-resolution airborne survey project to map aquifers.
Coordinated by USGS scientists to map the properties of aquifers throughout parts of the MAP, the low-level flights are intended to provide critical data needed by state and local decisionmakers to evaluate and manage groundwater resources in the region.
Beginning in early November and lasting for 2-3 months, an airplane contracted by the USGS and operated by CGG Airborne of Ontario, Canada, will make low-level flights over more than 20 million acres and seven states within the MAP. Experienced pilots specially trained and approved for low-level flying will operate the aircraft. All flights are coordinated with the Federal Aviation Administration to ensure accordance with U.S. law. The flights will be based out of Greenwood-Leflore Airport in Mississippi for the first three weeks. Follow the planned flight lines here.
The first segment of regional survey flights completed in early 2019 have provided unique and previously impossible views of the MAP’s shallow aquifer system. In this second phase, the survey will acquire data from the subsurface up to 1,000 feet below ground, or 2-3 times deeper than previous flights.
Instruments on the airplane will collect information about the geology in shallow aquifers of the region. When the data analysis is complete, resulting state-of-the-art maps will help USGS researchers understand the aquifer system that supports groundwater resources at depths up to about 1,000 feet underground.
This survey will be flown mainly east-west at an altitude of 400 feet along lines spaced approximately 4 miles apart. The airplane will have an attached electromagnetic instrument housed in a small receiver that is towed 300 feet behind and about 150 feet beneath the aircraft. All survey flights will occur during daylight hours.
Residents and visitors should not be alarmed to witness a low-flying aircraft with a small towed sensor behind it. The airplane will also carry scientific instruments including a magnetometer and a gamma-ray spectrometer. None of the instruments pose a health risk to people or animals, and flights will not occur directly over populated areas.

The space craft was charged with 1,000 pounds of key science experiments and various other products for the three residents of the station.
NASA launched its first Dragon capsule on Sunday after months of tests and trials. The cargo contained all the necessary gear for the fulfillment of the operational mission. SpaceX Dragon is thus expected to deliver 1,000 pounds of products by Wednesday to the international Space Station.
According to NASA’s declarations, the first rocket was meant to test whether big loads could be transported to the station or not. Despite this, scientists wanted to surprise the three residents at the International Space Station, so they tucked some chocolate-vanilla swirl ice cream in the freezer for them.
NASA researchers came across several problems during the launching, so they were afraid the Dragon may not be sent into the orbit at the right time. Eventually, they managed to repair one of the nine first-stage engines that was flawed and the launch was declared a success. SpaceX President Gwynne Shotwell gladly communicated that SpaceX is making its way towards the ISS. The piece of space junk that was threatening the integrity of the capsule was prevented from hitting SpaceX, so the space craft will make the delivery on Wednesday.
NASA agreed to sign a $1.6 billion contract with SpaceX in order to restock the International Space Station. The private company will thus, produce 12 resupply missions in order to replace the shuttles that were sent to the museum. There is another premiere for NASA as Dragon will bring back twice as much cargo as it delivered, including astronauts’ blood and urine samples so doctors could verify their health condition.
The Dragon will spend the next three weeks at the international station. At the end of October, the shuttle will be released and parachuted into the Pacific. | aerospace |

People died after drinking hand sanitizer
Turn Off Light
Southwest Airlines is cutting back on cabin cleaning procedures that were instituted because of the coronavirus pandemic.
According to a memo sent to flight attendants, the move is being made to speed up flight turnaround times.
However a union representing Southwest flight attendants urged the airline to still make travel-wary passengers feel as comfortable as possible.
The company rolled out the enhanced program back in March.
Scaling it back will mean changes including no longer sanitizing seat belts between flights.
The company says cleanings will now focus on a few items like tray tables and bathrooms.
Deep overnight cleanings will continue.
Southwest said the airline will continue to limit plane capacity through the end of October.

http://edition.cnn.com/2011/WORLD/europe/07/29/france.crash.report/ | 2022-12-05T00:30:04 | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-49/segments/1669446711001.28/warc/CC-MAIN-20221205000525-20221205030525-00618.warc.gz | 0.965076 | 1,038 | CC-MAIN-2022-49 | webtext-fineweb__CC-MAIN-2022-49__0__147378010 | en | Paris (CNN) -- Questions were raised Friday over the training of the pilots on the doomed Air France Flight 447, after analysis of the plane's voice and data recorders by a French investigation body.
The recorders from the plane, which plunged into the Atlantic Ocean in June 2009 on its way from Brazil to France with the loss of 228 passengers and crew, were recovered in May, after almost two years on the sea bed.
The data they provided has shed new light on the final minutes of the flight, France's Bureau of Investigation and Analysis, the BEA, said as it issued its third report.
The crisis arose after a problem involving blocked pitot tubes -- devices that measure a plane's air speed -- which led to the disconnection of the autopilot, it said.
The recorders revealed the pilots had failed to discuss repeated stall warnings and "had received no high altitude training" to deal with the situation, the BEA said.
The pilots got conflicting air speed readings in the minutes leading up to the crash and, after the stall, responded by pointing the nose upward, rather than downward, to recover.
They failed to regain control of the aircraft and no announcement was made to the passengers before it plummeted from the sky. The descent from 38,000 feet took 3 minutes and 30 seconds.
Air France defended the pilots' performance, saying there was "no reason to question the crew's technical skills" in the face of "multiple improbable factors."
But an aviation expert questioned why the pilots did not correct the stall.
"Dealing with a stall situation is a fundamental part of being a pilot -- if you take private flying lessons, it is one of the things they teach you within the first few hours," said David Kaminiski-Morrow, an editor at Flight Global.
"Nobody seems to understand yet why they couldn't get out of the stall, why the pilots were unable to apply what -- in hindsight -- seems to be a fairly straightforward procedure," he said.
The BEA issued 10 new safety recommendations, including ensuring extra training for pilots on manual handling of a high-altitude stall, such as that experienced by AF 447, and asking regulatory authorities to require airlines to equip planes with an image recorder to show what is displayed on the pilots' whole instrument panel.
The BEA also recommends that the triggering of location transmitters and a video recorder should be mandatory when an emergency is detected on board an aircraft.
CNN's aviation correspondent Richard Quest said the report "shows that the original incident -- the blocked pitot tubes and failed speed sensor -- was serious but not catastrophic."
"It should have been relatively straightforward to deal with for an experienced flight crew. However, it was the response of the pilots which ultimately doomed the aircraft," he said.
"By focusing the attention on the way the cockpit crew handled the emergency, the BEA is recommending further training for pilots in dealing with high-altitude crises.
"Sources in the industry tell me that this incident, among others, is leading to a rethink and renewed emphasis on piloting skills."
Kaminiski-Morrow said modern-day planes are capable of flying themselves most of the time, which means pilots have to be capable computer managers.
"The danger of this is that when things start going wrong, is the pilot still in the loop?" Kaminiski-Morrow said. "The computer might recognize what's wrong, but if the pilot doesn't, how will he get out of it?
French Transport Minister Nathalie Kosciusko-Morizet told French radio network RTL that the BEA was responsible for establishing "the facts" and that it would be the courts' role to assign any blame.
Air France and Airbus are being investigated for alleged involuntary manslaughter over the crash.
In its response to the report, Air France said the two co-pilots and the captain "showed an unfailing professional attitude, remaining committed to their task to the very end. Air France pays tribute to the courage and determination they showed in such extreme conditions."
It went on: "From the flight recorder data, it has been established that the combination of multiple improbable factors led to the disaster in less than four minutes: the icing of the pitot probes was the initial event that led to the disconnection of the autopilot, the loss of associated piloting control protections and considerable roll movements.
"After the manoeuvres carried out by the crew in deteriorated and destabilizing piloting conditions, the aircraft stalled at high altitude, could not be recovered and struck the surface of the Atlantic Ocean at high speed."
All 228 people aboard the Airbus A330 Flight 447 from Rio de Janeiro to Paris were killed in the crash.
The bulk of the wreckage was found earlier this year after a search by robot submarines of an underwater mountain range. More than 150 bodies have been brought up from the scene of the crash, but more than 70 will never be recovered.

The Blade 350 QX3 gives you everything you need to put your GoPro camera in the perfect spot for epic aerial shots. This Bind-N-Fly version comes completely assembled with a Spektrum receiver installed. All you have to do is charge the battery and bind it to a 5+ channel DSM2/DSMX aircraft transmitter.
Not included – sold separately
SAFE Technology Makes You Look Like a Pro
What makes the Blade 350 QX3 such a great camera platform? Advanced SAFE (Sensor Assisted Flight Envelope) technology. Using this technology, the Blade 350 QX3 gives you two flight modes that have been specially programmed for capturing aerial video and images. Both feature self-leveling and use GPS and altitude sensors to precisely hold position in a hover. SAFE technology will even land the aircraft for you if you activate the Return Home function.
Perfect for first-time drone flyers. In Smart Mode, the 350 QX3 will always fly in whatever direction the control stick is pushed. This is called Stick Relativity. It doesn't matter which way the nose is pointed. If you move the control stick to the right, even if the aircraft is spinning, it will fly to the right. Smart Mode also creates a SAFE Circle barrier that prevents the aircraft from flying too close to the pilot.
AP (Aerial Photography) Mode
For more experienced drone pilots. In this mode, the Blade 350 QX3 responds to control inputs like a conventional RC aircraft without Stick Relativity. It also gives the pilot more control authority by turning off the SAFE Circle and allowing steeper bank and pitch angles. This makes it possible to get faster panning and tracking shots when you're shooting high-energy, action video.
Alternate Flight Modes Available
The 350 QX3 gives you the option of accessing an alternate set of Stability and Agility flight modes.

The quad is very nice and it works as advertised.
I had to hold my transmitter about 1"-2" away from the 350 QX3 before it would bind. The instructions with the quad recommend that you stand at least a few feet away. In my case I had to stand very close to the quad and place my transmitter antenna right on the quad before it worked.
Very frustrating... but hey it works and it's a good product. | aerospace |

UAV options: To buy or to rent?
Weighing the costs of UAV ownership for aggregate operations
June 9, 2017 By Murray Hunt
June 9, 2017 – When contemplating utilizing UAV/aerial applications in any operation, one of the first decisions required is whether to purchase a drone, or engage the services of a drone service provider.
The following are some points to consider, if purchasing:
Depending on your application, you will want a fixed wing UAV for large, open area projects. Or if you operate in smaller, confined areas, a VTOL multi-rotor may be a better option.
The Internet and media are flooded with cool looking “hobby” drones that you can buy starting at about $1,000. If you are planning on using a drone for any surveying/mapping projects, you will need a UAV designed to carry larger specific payloads. You can expect to pay in excess of $30,000 for a survey grade UAV. In addition, the support equipment (imaging equipment, base station, computer, extra batteries, transportation equipment) can easily double the cost of the UAV.
Maintenance and repairs
Even for the experienced pilot, damage is inevitable. During the training phase it is not uncommon for an inexperienced pilot to have numerous crashes costing thousands of dollars in parts, not to mention lost time. As for maintenance, batteries have maximum charge cycles, and depending on use, will last about one year. The LiPo batteries used in UAVs can cost hundreds of dollars each. Due to the harsh environment most commercial UAVs operate in, much of the electronic equipment on board is prone to failures that can potentially cost several thousand dollars a year.
In Canada, Transport Canada regulates the commercial use of all UAVs (regardless of size). All commercial use of UAVs in Canada requires both the crew (minimum two trained persons) and the UAV to be certified. The regulations are constantly changing, and proposed new rules will place even more onus on the commercial application of UAVs. As part of Transport Canada regulations, commercial UAV liability insurance is also required.
Training and personnel
Not only is it required by Transport Canada that UAV crews be properly trained, but, as with any equipment, competency training is necessary. Along with understanding and acquiring skills to operate the UAV and imaging equipment, proper and efficient workflow and operating procedures must be developed. In areas of low employee retention, the constant training of new employees could become a significant expense.
All of the equipment, training and data acquisition are only half of the equation. Without the software, computers and data processing knowledge to process the data, flying UAVs is just a hobby. Alternatively, there are offshore processing services that will process the data. This means less capital outlay, but fewer options and loss of control.
As with any acquired skill, without regular practice it is difficult to maintain peak proficiency. Unless the crew is operating once a week, not only will their skills suffer, but a significant capital asset and training investment is not being utilized.
If you chose to engage the services of a professional UAV service provider, the only thing you need to do is ensure they are certified and insured.
Murray Hunt is the president and chief UAV pilot for High Eye Aerial Imaging, a UAV service provider based in Ontario. This column first appeared in Ontario Miner.

He should be back in time for next week's post, provided he doesn't go wandering off to haunts of coot and hern, or wherever he's been going lately.
This week, I've got a very serious topic: Malaysian Airlines Flight MH370, which disappeared
from radar between Kuala Lumpur and the Andaman Sea.
That was two weeks ago.
Here's what we know:
- Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 disappeared on shortly after takeoff.
- The 239 folks on Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 are still missing.
- The flight left Kuala Lumpur at 16:41 GMT, March 7; and was expected in Beijing at 22:30 GMT.
- No trace of the airliner, or the people on board, has been confirmed.
- Folks on MH370 included artists, children, and at least one engineer.
- Their homes were in China, Malaysia, and other countries.
- Their family, friends, and associates are understandably concerned.
Yesterday I read that satellites spotted two objects in the Indian Ocean, between Australia and Antarctica. More about that:
One of the objects is vaguely rectangular and roughly 24 meters long. It might be part of the Malisian Airlines Boeing 777-200ER.
Or it might be a nearly-submerged cargo container lost from some freighter; debris washed downriver and into the ocean from a construction project; or something else unrelated to the airliner.
Here's what the BBC had to say about Malaysian Airlines Flight MH370:
1,460 Miles, 2,350 Kilometers, West by Southwest of Perth
(From Australian government, US National Transportation Savety Board, Malaysian government, via BBC News; used w/o permission.)
"Missing MH370: World's most difficult recovery
Rebecca Morelle, BBC News (March 20, 2014)
"The search for the missing Malaysia Airlines plane is now focussed on the south Indian Ocean.
"Ships and planes are hunting for two large objects spotted in satellite images that could be floating debris.
"But if these are located and confirmed as wreckage from flight MH370 - and that is still a big if - one of the most complex recovery operations ever undertaken could lie ahead....
I wasn't surprised to see that it's now a recovery, not a rescue, operation. It is still, I think, very remotely possible that the 239 people who disappeared may still be alive. But that seems increasingly unlikely.
Some folks deal with uncertainty by distracting themselves with unrelated activities: a job; household chores; exercise; whatever. Others apparently drag a trawl net
into their mind's abyssal zone
in search of explanations.
I've seen some colorful conspiracy theories hatching: including the usual 'it was space aliens.' Someone even spent time debunking a rumor that MH370 had reappeared in — what else? — the Bermuda Triangle
Sometimes that sort of nonsense can be amusing. In a situation where more than 200 people are either dead or stranded without supplies: not so much.
(From BBC News, used w/o permission.)
"If the objects in the satellite images do belong to the plane, they could help scientists to find the crash site
"...The first stage would be to carefully examine any fragments of the craft found. Their condition, for example whether they show any signs of an explosion, could begin to shed light on what happened to the plane.
"Importantly, they could also help to narrow down the location of the crash, and the possible site of the plane's 'black box' flight recorders.
"But David Mearns, director of Blue Water Recoveries Ltd, says because of the amount of time that has passed since the flight vanished on 8 March, this would not be easy.
" 'If the debris is confirmed, the positions and times that any pieces are found will be clues that will have to be used to determine where the plane actually impacted,' he explains.
" 'But in this instance, we are talking many days after the plane would have crashed - that debris will have floated for a very large distance - and potentially an uncertain distance. If we don't know what the winds and currents were doing at that time, it makes the search box enormous.'...
, BBC News)
Searchers may find one or more of MH370's flight recorders by tracking the acoustic pingers: if they're still working, and searchers get close enough before the devices run out of their 30-day lifespan.
The good news is that, MH370 crashed into the southern Indian Ocean, and if searchers find the wreckage - - - that's a lot of "ifs."
That part of the Indian ocean has some of the roughest seas in the world: but the ocean floor, some 4,000 meters down, it's smoother than the submerged mountains and ravines that held Air France 447's wreckage.
I think it's prudent to remember that it took searchers about two years to locate the Air France 447 wreckage and start piecing together what went wrong.
Friday Morning, March 21
(From Lai Seng Sin/AP, via Bloomberg, used w/o permission.)
"A woman leaves a message for passengers aboard a missing Malaysia Airlines plane, at a shopping mall in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
"Missing Plane Maintained Steady Speed Over Indian Ocean
Alan Levin, Bloomberg (March 21, 2014)
"The missing Malaysian airliner may have cruised steadily across the Indian Ocean after diverting from its route, according to an analysis of satellite pings, the clearest idea yet on how investigators pinpointed a search zone.
"Engineers at Inmarsat Plc (ISAT), whose satellite picked up the pings, plotted seven positions for the Boeing Co. (BA) 777-200ER on March 8, Chris McLaughlin, a company spokesman, said in an interview. The plane flew steadily away from the satellite over the equator while pinging, McLaughlin said....
"...When officials estimated the plane was flying at or near its cruising speed of more than 500 miles (800 kilometers) an hour, it produced a probable path the engineers were 'very confident' about, McLaughlin said. The engineers don't know the plane's track for certain because the satellite pings can only be used to estimate an arc along the earth's surface where it would have been, he said....
I decided to add this Bloomberg article to today's post, since it's among the most detailed I've seen. The bottom line is still the same, though: there's been no verified sighting of wreckage from Malaysian Airlines Flight MH370, and all 239 people are still missing.
There's also some analysis here, and a detail that I don't remember seeing elsewhere.
Flight MH370 Landed? Unlikely
"...If the Inmarsat estimates are accurate, it would have been impossible for the plane to have landed before its satellite transmitter sent the final ping at 8:11 a.m., almost seven hours after its last known position as it left Malaysian airspace, according to McLaughlin's account. Because the 777 burns more fuel at lower altitude, it also suggests the plane remained at cruising altitude.
"The plane was flying at 542 miles an hour at 35,000 feet (10,668 meters) at 1:21 a.m. when its transponder stopped functioning and it disappeared from Malaysian's civilian radar system, according to FlightRadar24, a flight-tracking company.
"The engineers at Inmarsat were able to validate their estimates of the plane's position by matching its position at 1:07 a.m., when it sent a burst of data through its Aircraft Communications and Reporting System, McLaughlin said. That final transmission on Acars included a GPS position that was used to calibrate the other estimates, he said....
Much as I would like to believe that the Boeing 777 landed safely, and that everyone on board survived: it seems very, very unlikely:
"Andrew Herdman, director-general of the Kuala Lumpur-based Association of Asia Pacific Airlines, talks about Malaysian Airline System Bhd.'s missing Flight 370. He speaks Rishaad Salamat on Bloomberg Television's 'On the Move.'
(Description of Bloomberg video: "Landing, Hiding MH370 'Extremely Unlikely': Herdman
" (March 17, 2014))
Although the evil mastermind and his henchmen might successfully hide an airliner in a spy story (remember "Thunderball
"?), real life doesn't necessarily work that way.
A Boeing 777
is more than 200 feet long, with a wingspan to match. That's a lot of metal to hide: particularly in these days, with robot satellites keeping digital eyes peeled.
Flight MH370: A Long Wait
If you get the impression that this is an unusually long wait for some trace of the missing flight to turn up: you're right.
"...The longest period in modern passenger-airline history between a disappearance and initial findings of debris was seven years ago, when Adam Air Flight 574 went missing off the coast of Indonesia's South Sulawesi. The Boeing 737-400, operated by PT Adam Skyconnection Airlines, lost contact with air traffic control Jan. 1, 2007. Wreckage wasn't found until 10 days later....
"...In the search for Air France 447 wreckage, authorities were able to narrow down a 5,000 nautical-mile area after finding floating objects five days following the crash. They also had a last known position plus four minutes of signals from the plane's so-called Acars system, which was turned off on Flight 370.
"Even with those clues, the pings from Flight 447's recorders weren't picked up. It took two voyages over almost a two-year period to find the debris field with unmanned underwater vehicles that searched the ocean floor with sonar equipment....
(David Fickling, Alan Levin, Thomas Black, Bloomberg (March 17, 2014))
Patience isn't easy, particularly when so many folks desperately want to know what happened to their family, friends, and fellow-workers. But I think cultivating patience is better than the alternatives.
Finally, and no pressure at all: this is just a suggestion. Prayer couldn't hurt: for the folks on Malaysian Airlines Flight MH370, and everyone connected with them. | aerospace |

How far does South Korea's sovereign airspace extend into space? It may sound a mere matter of curiosity, but a legal opinion could be decisive in determining whether a North Korean intercontinental ballistic missile flying through space over South Korea violates its airspace.
In a report it submitted to Grand National Party lawmaker Kim Jang-soo on Thursday, the Defense Ministry admitted it has "never expressed" its official position on the vertical extent of the country's sovereign airspace.
That is because there is no fixed international standard for determining whether outer space should be included.
The legal subcommittee of the UN Committee on the Peaceful Uses of Outer Space has discussed the issue over the past 40 years without coming to a conclusion. One suggestion before it is that the vertical limit of restricted airspace lies 100-110 km above earth, the lowest extent of satellite orbits. Another is that airspace has no defined vertical limit at all. And a third is that it extends only as far as the earth's atmosphere.
The U.S. and Japan hold that activities in outer space could be discouraged and international disputes could occur if the vertical limit is defined, the ministry explained, and the U.K. and the Netherlands are also against the idea.
But France, Germany, Russia, Poland, and Belgium are for 100 km above earth, and Italy for 90 km.
"As there's no clear definition of the vertical limit of sovereign airspace, disputes could arise over whether a North Korean ICBM would violate our airspace if it flies out of the atmosphere and over our sky," Kim warned.

They were built as a kit or by Cook Flying Machines (CFM). Nearly 400 aircraft were built from the early 1980’s through the early 2000’s. All models of the Shadow were powered either by a Rotax two cylinder, two-stroke engine which was mounted behind the fuselage on an exposed framework. The earliest versions were powered by 40hp Rotax 447 and later versions were powered by 65hp Rotax 582’s or 80hp Rotax 912’s. This version of the aircraft is a model D-D (the second D for dual-control), and is powered by the Rotax 582.
The Shadow was used and flown by David Cook (owner of CFM and aircraft designer) as a camera platform to film the “dragon eye” viewpoint footage for the movie Dragonheart in 1996. The Shadow has made flights from the UK-Australia, and from the UK-Beijing. Mr. Cook also, famously, flew a Shadow Streak to an altitude of 27,066’ in 1990.

Defensenews.com ~ "WASHINGTON — The Air Force has grounded most of its older C-130H Hercules cargo planes and variants due to a problem with their propeller barrels.
Air Mobility Command on Friday confirmed a wide swath of its C-130H fleet, which numbered 128 at the beginning of fiscal 2022, is unable to fly, and it’s unclear how long it will take to replace all the defective propeller assemblies.
AMC said 116 C-130Hs, including variants of the mobility aircraft, were grounded on Tuesday due to concerns their propeller assemblies are defective, and that inspections over the coming days will show how many of those are affected.
AMC said the groundings are 'widespread' and primarily affect the Air Force Reserve and Air National Guard.
In a statement to Defense News, Air Mobility Command said a maintenance crew at Warner Robins Air Logistics Complex in Georgia found a persistent leak coming from a C-130H propeller while test running the plane’s engine after it had undergone depot maintenance.
That propeller assembly was removed and sent to the complex’s propeller shop, AMC said, where a technician found a crack in its barrel assembly.
AMC ordered immediate field level visual inspections on all C-130Hs with the older 54H60 model propeller, and then conducted metallurgical reviews and stress analyses, the command said. After those reviews, Air Mobility Command issued another order to immediately replace problematic propellers.
The command said newer C-130Js and C-130Hs that have already had their propeller assemblies upgraded with the eight-bladed NP2000 system are not affected by the order." ~ Defensenews.com | aerospace |

[Editor’s Note: We received this from one of our reader’s. Thank you for your contribution. This Civil Air Patrol plane accident in Maryland Wing was caused by pilot error.]
- 21 July 2004, C-182 [N9476X] upgrade training and night currency sortie
- CFII (43) and upgrade student (27)
- Student had 9 hrs in C-182 with 25 takeoffs and landings
- Night approach
- Flared high and stalled
- Hard landing, prop strike, gear bent
- Substantial damage
During an instructional flight with a certificated flight instructor for a night checkout, the private pilot flared “a little high,” and the airplane stalled about 20 feet above the runway. The airplane touched down hard on the runway, and came to rest upright.
The National Transportation Safety Board determines the probable cause(s) of this accident to be: The private pilot’s inadequate flare, and the CFI’s delayed remedial action, which resulted in an inadvertent stall/mush and hard landing. A factor related to the accident was the night conditions.
Occurrence #1: HARD LANDING
Phase of Operation: LANDING – FLARE/TOUCHDOWN
1. (F) LIGHT CONDITION – NIGHT
2. (C) FLARE – IMPROPER – PILOT IN COMMAND

B11 Kimball Hall
Light refreshments are served in the 116 Upson Hall lounge 30 minutes prior to the seminar start time.
Supersonic Disk-Gap-Band (DGB) parachutes have been used to successfully land spacecraft on Mars since 1976, starting with the Viking 1 and 2 landers. In the past, extensive test programs generated full-scale Mars relevant flight data to qualify these original parachute designs. This original work has allowed subsequent Mars missions to be able to leverage the original test results and design successful supersonic DGB parachutes without having to pursue additional costly full-scale supersonic test campaigns. However, as Mars missions continue to grow in size, larger and more capable parachutes will be required. Furthermore, results of the Low-Density Supersonic Decelerators (LDSD) program have called into question the feasibility of extrapolating subsonic test results to supersonic parachute deployments. This has motivated a large investment into developing computational capabilities geared towards high-fidelity fluid-structure interaction (FSI) modeling of supersonic parachute inflations, relevant to Mars. This talk will summarize the progress that a JPL/Stanford collaboration has made upgrading the AERO computational suite (https://bitbucket.org/frg/) over the past several years, as well as summarizing recent full-scale supersonic parachute tests performed in the upper atmosphere on Earth (ASPIRE).
Jason Rabinovitch is a Mechanical Engineer at the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), California Institute of Technology, where he works in the Entry, Descent, and Landing & Formulation Group. Prior to JPL, Dr. Rabinovitch received a B.Sc. in Mechanical Engineering from Yale University in 2008, a M.Sc. in Aerospace Engineering from the California Institute of Technology in 2009, a M.Sc. in Fluid Mechanics from École Polytechnique (France) in 2010, and a Ph.D. in Aeronautics from Caltech in 2014. His PhD research focused on CFD for hypersonic flows and ablation modeling, and since then he has been fortunate to work on a variety of different projects at JPL since starting in 2014. These projects have ranged from delivering flight hardware to the upcoming Mars 2020 mission, designing, implementing, and testing a low-density low-speed open jet fan-array wind tunnel for the Mars Helicopter, to developing a hybrid rocket propulsion system for small satellites. His current research interests span a wide range of topics related to experimental and computational fluid mechanics applied to EDL, vehicle design, propulsion, and geophysical applications. In particular, Dr. Rabinovitch's current work focuses on modeling supersonic parachute inflations in the upper atmosphere of Mars, and using DSMC simulations to look at hypervelocity sampling in the upper atmosphere of Venus for the Cupid's Arrow mission concept. Jason is originally from Toronto, is a fan of the Toronto Maple Leafs, and plays goalie for the JPL ice hockey team “The Rovers.”

The missions, which launched last July, take on big, new challenges for their countries. A US spacecraft should arrive on February 18.
The UAE launched its Mars probe, named “Hope”, on July 19. It was a huge success for the country, which only started its Mars program six years ago. Now, the UAE is the first Arab country to send a mission to Mars.
The Hope arrived near Mars on Tuesday, slowing its speed so that the gravity of Mars could pull the spacecraft in. The probe will spend the next two years orbiting the red planet. The UAE expects Hope to be the first mission to provide details about Mars’s atmosphere through all Martian seasons.
The UAE is only the fifth country to succeed in sending a probe to Mars. The science team behind the Hope is 80% women. The country hopes that the mission will inspire its citizens to make greater progress in science.
To celebrate, many of the UAE’s important buildings have been lit up in the last week.

On Wednesday, China’s Tianwen-1 reached Mars and began orbiting the planet. Though China has had several successes in space recently, this is the first time it has succeeded in sending a mission to Mars.
Unlike the UAE mission, the Tianwen-1 won’t simply orbit Mars. Instead, after orbiting for a few months, the Tianwen-1 will attempt to send a rover to the surface of the planet. The Tianwen-1’s rover is roughly the size of a golf cart and is solar-powered.

Landing on Mars is something many countries have tried and failed at. Only the US has managed to land several times. And even the US has had one landing mission fail.
China plans to send the rover to the Martian surface in May or June. China’s space agency has chosen a wide open area called Utopia Planitia for landing the rover. This is the same area where NASA landed its Viking 2 lander in 1976.
If the Tianwen-1 rover lands successfully, it is expected to be looking for water underground, as well as for any signs of life from long ago.
On February 18, NASA is planning to land a new rover, named Perseverance, on Mars. If the landing goes well, Perseverance will be hunting for samples of Mars rocks that are worth bringing back to Earth to study. A future trip to Mars will be needed to bring the samples back.
Did You Know…?
All three of these missions to Mars launched last July because that was when the two planets were lined up in a way that made the trip easier and faster. | aerospace |

Barely five days after Emirates resumed scheduled flights to both Lagos and Abuja in Nigeria, the UAE airline has announced the suspension of flights to Nigeria until further notice.
In a letter sent to its trade partners in Nigeria on 10 December, the airline said that the suspension will take effect from 13 December, 2021.
According to the airline, however, Flights EK 783/EK 784 (Dubai-Lagos-Dubai) and Flights EK 785/EK 786 (Dubai-Abuja-Dubai) will operate as scheduled on 11 and 12 December respectively.
The decision to suspend flight operations to Nigeria is not unconnected with the diplomatic tension between the Federal government of Nigeria and that of the United Arab Emirates since the COVID-19 pandemic.
In a letter released by the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) and dated 9 December, 2021, the Federal Government of Nigeria decided to reduce Emirates winter schedule to both Nigeria from 21 weekly flights to I weekly flight each to Lagos and Abuja.
According to the NCAA, the decision to reduce Emirates frequency was a reciprocity response to the UAE government’s refusal to grant Nigeria’s Air Peace the approval to operate three weekly flights between Lagos and Dubai via Sharjah. Instead the UAE approved only one weekly flight for Air Peace on Thursdays, citing slot constraint at Sharjah Airport.
It will be recalled that after 7 months of diplomatic tension, the Federal Government of Nigeria had, on 26 November, 2021, lifted the ban on Emirates after the airline relaxed its stringent COVID-19 measures against Nigerians, which included the requirement of Rapid Antigen Test (RDT). | aerospace |

Orbit Position: The satellites later separated and used their thrusters totake up their positions in a relatively low orbit of 340 miles (550 kilometers).
The satellite orbit is slightly higher than International Space Station (ISS), but below the majority of terrestrial satellites placed. The highest of terrestrial satellites sit in a geostationary orbit of 22,400 miles (36,000 kilometers). Satellite Features: Each of satellites weighs only 500 pounds (227 kilograms). They were built in-house in Redmond, near Seattle in US. Their weight makes them the heaviest payload carried aloft by SpaceX to date.Starlink’s constellation: will become operational once over 800 satellites will be activated, which will require at least 12 launches carrying similar payloads. The 60 launched satellites are among the first of a planned 12,000-satellite megaconstellation with aim to provide high-speed internet service from space to customers around the globe. | aerospace |

And as a nice side effect, to quench our thirsts, too!
Such devices are called ‘bottled water’. Using these simple ‘instruments’ on a flight, we can demonstrate that Earth is a sphere.

A frame of reference consists of an abstract coordinate system and the set of physical reference points that uniquely fix the coordinate system and standardize measurements. Speed or velocity is relative to a frame of reference. It is possible that two speeds/velocities are measured relative to a different frame of reference and thus cannot be directly compared.
Flat-Earthers would often compare two different speed measurements like an airplane moving at 900 km/h (560 mph) and Earth’s surface near the equator at 1674 km/h (1040 mph). They would conclude the airplane should not be able to catch up with Earth’s surface and would not be able to land if the Earth is rotating. They are wrong. The speeds are measured relative to the different frame of reference, and therefore, cannot be compared directly.

The evaluation of the Air Safety List Regulation confirms that the Air Safety List serves to protect air passengers within and outside the European Union and is a strong incentive for third countries to improve their aviation safety standards. The evaluation of the Regulationon the investigation and prevention of accidents and incidents in civil aviation finds that since the entry into force of EU rules the quality of safety investigations has improved across Europe.
Findings of the Air Safety List evaluation
The Air Safety List Regulation remains the only aviation safety-enforcement means at the disposal of the EU reaching and protecting passengers worldwide. The costs incurred in relation to the implementation of the Regulation are outweighed by the benefits it brings. The Regulation has been found coherent with other European Union legislation and instruments. Also, the Air Safety List Regulation provides passengers with the right to reimbursement or re-routing when an air carrier becomes subject to an EU ban. To further improve in the future the evaluation recommends:
- to further improve the awareness of the travel industry and passengers;
- to strengthen technical cooperation efforts in the area of safety;
- to continue coordination and fine tuning with other aviation safety instruments such as the programme for inspections of aircraft by third country operators (SAFA Programme) and the Third Country Operator authorisation system to avoid duplication and better exploit synergies.
Findings of the evaluation on EU rules on the investigation and prevention of accidents and incidents in civil aviation
Considerable improvements in the quality of investigation have been made in Europe since the entry into force of relevant EU rules in 2010. In particular, the close cooperation between the safety investigation authorities (SIAs) in the framework of the European Network of Civil Aviation Safety Investigation Authorities (ENCASIA) has allowed most Member States to be better prepared for handling investigations of aircraft accidents and incidents. National authorities and other aviation experts assessed that exchanging best practices and developing common investigation methods remain relevant. The evaluation does highlight a number of areas and challenges for the investigation and prevention of accidents and incidents to address:
- lack of sufficient resources of smaller national safety investigation authorities
- consistency in the use of information collected during an investigation in various domestic courts
- making better use of the possibility to conclude advanced arrangements between SIAs and other investigation authorities, as envisaged in the Regulation.

They were captured 3.79 billion miles (6.12 billion kilometers) from Earth in December.
The new false-color images show objects in the Kuiper Belt, a donut-shaped ring that surrounds our solar system and is likely full of comets, icy dwarf planets, and asteroids.
In December 2017, New Horizons took these false-color images of objects in the Kuiper Belt, the farthest from Earth ever captured by a spacecraft. They’re also the closest-ever images of Kuiper Belt objects.The Pale Blue Dot images were taken at a distance of 3.75 billion miles (6.06 billion kilometers), and show Earth itself as a mere speck amid space. Voyager took them by turning its lens back towards Earth as the spacecraft sailed beyond Neptune on Feb. 14, 1990.
New Horizons is the fastest spacecraft ever launched, traveling at a speed of 700,000 miles (1.1 million kilometers) per day. Just two hours before taking the record-breaking images of the Kuiper Belt objects, it took an image of a star cluster called the “Wishing Well,” which is now the second-farthest image from Earth ever taken.
The spacecraft became the first to fly over Pluto in 2015, and the first to explore the Kuiper Belt. New Horizons began its Kuiper Belt mission last year. It plans to observe around two dozen objects in the belt, including dwarf planets and “Centaurs”—objects with unstable orbits that cross the orbits of the solar system’s giant planets.
New Horizons willI become the first to do a fly-by of one of the many mysterious Kuiper Belt objects when it will come in close range of “Kuiper Belt object 2014 MU69” shortly after midnight on January 1, 2019. At one billion miles beyond Pluto, that will be the farthest planetary encounter in history, according to NASA.
“The Voyagers and Pioneers flew through the Kuiper Belt at a time when we didn’t know this region existed,” Jim Green, director of NASA’s Planetary Science Division, said. “New Horizons is on the hunt to understand these objects, and we invite everyone to ring in the next year with the excitement of exploring the unknown.” | aerospace |

The Indian Space Research Organisation (Isro) today successfully conducted the test firing of its Main Liquid Engine, which was idle for nearly 300 days, inside the spacecraft.
This crucial Trajectory Correction Manoeuver (TCM) was configured for verifying the performance of the Main Liquid Engine to determine the strategy for Mars Orbit Insertion (MOI) on September 24.
Earlier in the Day, Isro said that MOM has entered the Gravitational Sphere Of Influence of Mars.
Today’s event was crucial considering the fact that Isro’s Plan B, in case the test firing had failed, would have been to salvage the mission rather than achieve the original target.
“Plan B is using the small eight 22N thrusters for attitude control or orientation, which will not give you this original target. It will be salvaging of the mission,” Isro Chairman K Radhakrishnan said earlier.
Though the backup plan would Isro get Mangalyaan into orbit, how close it would have been was questionable. Since these thrusters have less power (22 Newton), they would have had to be fired for a much longer duration. In spite of this, the orbit achieved would not have been ideal to carry out studies of the Martian atmosphere and morphology.
At 2.47 pm, Isro has said that test firing successful and we had a perfect burn for four seconds as programmed. The trajectory has been corrected. Mom will now go ahead with the nominal plan for Mars Orbit Insertion. | aerospace |

Their SpaceX capsule parachuted into the Atlantic Ocean off the coast of Florida.
Sultan al-Neyadi, the first Arab person to spend an extended time in orbit, was among the members of the Crew-6 mission run jointly by NASA and SpaceX.
He was joined by NASA astronauts Stephen Bowen and Warren “Woody” Hoburg and Russia’s Andrei Fedyaev.
Before heading back to Earth, the crew – who had arrived at the station in March – said they were craving hot showers, steaming cups of coffee and the ocean air.
Their homecoming was delayed a day because of poor weather at the splashdown locations.
However, in the end they provided a spectacular middle-of-the-night show as their capsule streaked through the sky over Cape Canaveral before splashing down near Jacksonville. | aerospace |

“The primary and secondary power distribution system on the Falcon 10X system is a next-generation design providing significant weight savings over conventional architecture with equipment reduction,” said Brad Mottier, president of Systems for GE Aviation.
According to the developer, the Falcon 10X primary and secondary electrical power distribution and control system will have increased flexibility, so Dassault will be able to quickly implement customer-specific configurations.
The system architecture also will allow simple in-service modification and implementation, as well as system maintainability.
GE’s Electric Power Integration Center (EPIC) in Cheltenham, England, will develop the power distribution and control system, using dynamic software modeling, simulation, and analysis to predict how the system and its individual components will perform, including full system testing.
GE will perform all electrical power system certification testing at that location too, preparing and delivering the necessary documentation as part of Dassault’s aircraft certification submission to EASA.
Dassault’s Falcon 10X was introduced in May of this year, with a list price of $75 million and a first delivery date of 2025. The developer notes it will be capable of flying “nonstop from New York to Shanghai, Los Angeles to Sydney, Hong Kong to New York, or Paris to Santiago,” at a top speed of Mach 0.925 (709.7 mph.) | aerospace |

The final report from the Commission on the Future of the U.S. Aerospace Industry states there should be a "national priority" to rapidly deploy automated ATM systems. In our "Perspectives" column (page 50), National Air Transportation Association president James Coyne warns of the "present stress on the air traffic control system" and calls for the acceleration of Free Flight. And, at the 2002 Air Traffic Control Association (ATCA) conference, Ron Morgan, vice president-strategic planning, Lockheed Martin ATM, echoed other pleas for rapid ATM modernization and listed "eight imperatives" for the future National Airspace System (NAS).
Morgan noted Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) statistics that show 700 million passengers traveled by air in 2002, and the agency’s prediction that air passenger travel will mushroom by 2.5 times in less than 20 years. "Will all the current efforts to accommodate the doubling of the passenger load be adequate?" Morgan asks, rhetorically, referring to current Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) initiatives. "I would say, ‘probably no.’" He fears that "our children and children’s children will not enjoy the 30-plus years of good, dependable air transportation" that present-day adults have enjoyed. So what are Morgan’s eight imperatives?
1. Swap current distance-based aircraft separation standards for time-baced standards. Morgan says the spacing standards adopted to accommodate non-automated radar "don’t differentiate the types of aircraft." The FAA has developed standards based on time, he adds, but the controllers use distance-based standards. "We need tools, such as conflict probe, that will encourage controllers to use time-spaced standards."
2. Go beyond reduced vertical separation minima, to "vertical trajectory clearances." These would allow a constant rate of climb. "Over high-density airspace, aircraft would have to remain within specific altitudes," Morgan acknowledges. "But over the ocean, vertical trajectory clearances would be most beneficial for fuel efficiency."
3. Broaden the optimal range of aircraft performance to better utilize airspace. "DoD [U.S. Department of Defense] does this well," Morgan claims. The design and performance characteristics of the military’s aircraft are made for a particular mission, while those for air transport aircraft "are all about the same." He argues that civil aircraft could be designed to operate efficiently in lesser-used airspace, i.e. below 29,000 feet or above 49,000 feet.
4. Improve instrument flight rule (IFR) capacity. "We should implement new technologies and procedures to allow visual approaches and visual separation in less than VFR [visual flight rules] conditions," says Morgan. He uses as an example, automatic dependent surveillance-broadcast (ADS-B), which offers pilots greater situational awarenss and could help tighten closure rates during approach.
5. Create more efficiency in airport runway and taxiway designs. Morgan suggests, for example, moving the taxiway farther from the runway edge, so an aircraft can exit on a high-speed turn without compromising safety. "If you can get 70-second runway occupancy down to 50 seconds, you can operate four more aircraft an hour on that runway," he explains.
6. Use digital data link and digital voice to improve communications and safety. "There are a lot of hear-back/read-back errors," says Morgan. He suggests, for example, that digitized voice alerts could be used to announce to pilots runway conditions or a runway’s closure.
7. Expand the application of collaborative decision making and information sharing to all stakeholders. "The airlines, FAA, controllers and pilots all have bits of information, but the information is not shared to make work easier," says Morgan. As an example of how shared information and collaborative decision making could improve operations, he offers a scenario in which "controllers may want to expedite an aircraft landing, but, for connecting passengers, the airline might prefer another of its aircraft be expedited."
8. Where there is a business case to do so, transition elements of the NAS to a spaced-based capability. This means evaluating where satellite navigation and communication work best, and where they don’t. For example, "long range, satellite navigation would be best," he says, "but on the ground, multilateration would be better."
"I don’t know if these are the right eight imperatives," Morgan concedes. "But what bothers me is that, while I am confident the aerospace community can come up with the right solutions, I don’t see anyone who is willing to take the risk. We’re ignoring the problem, and we’ll hand it off to someone else."
Quite zealous words. But, until the pace quickens to modernize the NAS, we can expect many more like them. | aerospace |

Norman Asbornsen was residing in Hudson County, New Jersey when he entered the military service. No NARA enlistment record has been located. He received basic training and then flexible aerial gunnery training. Upon completion of this course, he was assigned to a combat crew of the 100th Bomb Group and deployed to England with the unit in May 1943.
On June 25, 1943, Asbornsen was scheduled to take part in a bomb raid at Bremen, Germany. The formation was unescorted, and was soon heavily engaged by German fighters. A burst of machine gun fire evidently damaged the plane and wounded the pilot. The bail out signal was given but before the crew could respond, the aircraft exploded.
There was only one survivor, who was picked up by a German rescue boat. Neither the survivor nor the German crew saw any parachutes. The wreckage fell approximately 30 km north of Langeoog, Germany.
German records state the B-17 was shot down by Feldwebel Edgar Dorre, flying a BF-109 from JG 29/9.
SSgt Asbornsen is memorialized on the Tablets of the Missing at the American War Cemetery at Margraten, Holland.

The company is a civilian manufacturer of electric drones and electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) passenger aircraft for advanced air mobility (AAM) in urban and rural areas.
Katla Aero has several objectives:
To make aircraft which combine the best qualities of helicopters and airplanes
To make eco-friendly aircraft to help reduce climate change
To help educate the general public on the benefits of electric aircraft
To manufacture the fastest eVTOL aircraft in the world
To design the most attractive eVTOL aircraft in the world
To make the most efficient eVTOL aircraft in the world
To make the smartest eVTOL aircraft in the world
To sell eVTOL passenger aircraft so that many more people can experience the joy and freedom of flying
The Katla 700 is a sleek futuristic looking eVTOL two passenger aircraft using a novel closed-wing aircraft design using ten fixed VTOL propellers and two fixed forward flight propellers, using a total of 12 electric motors. The estimated maximum speed of the aircraft is 450 km/h (280 mph), has a range of 200 km (124 m) and has a maximum payload: 200 kg (441 lb).
A closed-wing design on an aircraft is where the front wing is a low wing and then loops back and connects seamlessly to a high rear wing without any wingtips. (This type of wing design has also been called a box-wing design, a radical closed-wing design, a novel closed-wing design and a closed-wing design.) This wing design reduces the amount of drag acting on the aircraft which translated to less fuel being used for flight. This type of wing efficiency is very important to the owner or company of the aircraft because take-off and landing using an aircraft with a conventional wing is where a lot of fuel is burned and creates most of the emissions from the engines. Having a closed-wing design on an eVTOL aircraft will reduce the drag coefficient of the wings and improve the aerodynamic efficiency which will in turn, increase the range of the aircraft.
According to a 2012 NASA article, Lockheed Martin has been studying the closed-wing concept design for three decades to reduce airplane emissions. Lockheed Martin's closed-wing design reduces takeoff and landing emissions of nitrogen oxides by 50 percent when compared to the engines currently being used by airliners in 2012. Lockheed Martin has been waiting for lightweight composite materials, landing gear technologies, hybrid-laminar flow and other tools to make the closed-wing a viable and profitable configuration. Apparently, Katla Aero has made a successful closed-wing design for their eVTOL drone and passenger aircraft.
The aircraft has a canopy over the cockpit for spectacular views for the passengers. The aircraft has a carbon fiber composite fuselage and wings, which strengthens the superstructure of the aircraft, reduces its weight, makes the aircraft more crash worthy and increases the service life of the aircraft. The aircraft has wheeled retractable landing gear to make it easy to taxi and move the aircraft by hand when on a tarmac or in a hangar.
The company has also noted their aircraft can be used for air cargo service. Several recent online articles from 2021 and 2022, have revealed that Katla Aero stated they plan on flying a demonstration flight by October 2022 and they estimate to have their aircraft operational for public use by 2025.
Windows: Canopy over cockpit allowing forward, left, right, top and rear visibility, for spectacular views for the passengers
Wings: Novel closed-wing design
Tail: V-tail which is seamlessly connected to the aircraft's closed-wing
Landing gear: Retractable wheeled landing gear
Safety features: Distributed Electric Propulsion (DEP), provides safety through redundancy for its passengers and/or cargo. DEP means having multiple propellers (or ducted fans) and motors on the aircraft so if one or more propellers (ducted fans) or motors fail, the other working propellers (or ducted fans) and motors can safely land the aircraft. There are also redundancies in the sub-systems of the aircraft.

There are numerous bills pending in Congress that search to address UAS points, including security threats posed by drones. One of those payments is the DHS Countering Unmanned Aircraft Systems Coordinator Act, which is pending in each the Senate and the House.
Marapharm Ventures Inc. Updates Shareholders On Remaining Inspections In Las Vegas, Nevada
In April 2008, following the crash of one of the UK’s two Reapers, British particular forces had been despatched to recover delicate material from the wreckage earlier than it was blown up to forestall the enemy from obtaining it. By May 2011, five Reapers were in operation, with a further five on order. On 6 August 2015, the Spanish Ministry of Defence announced it would purchase four Reaper surveillance plane with two ground control stations for €25 million ($27 million) in 2016, costing €171 million over 5 years. General Atomics will partner with Spanish Company SENER to ship unarmed variations to Spain, making it the fifth European nation to order the Reaper. In addition to deciding on the Reaper, Spain is interested within the joint German-French-Italian project to develop a European MALE UAV. The Defense Department cleared the acquisition on 6 October 2015.
The second RAF squadron to operate five Reapers is XIII Sqn, which was formally activated and commissioned on 26 October 2012. No. 39 Squadron personnel had been planned to gradually return to the UK in 2013 and in time both squadrons would every function 5 Reapers from RAF Waddington. In April 2013, XIII squadron began full operations from RAF Waddington, exercising management over a complement of 10 Reapers, at that time all based in Afghanistan.
Xag Introduces Rice Seeding Drone
Five Reapers can present 36 hours of combined surveillance coverage in Afghanistan with individual sorties lasting as much as 16 hours; a further five autos increases this to 72 hours. In whole, RAF Reapers flew seventy one,000 flight hours in Afghanistan, and dropped 510 guided weapons (in comparison with 497 for Harrier and Tornado). In April 2013, it was revealed that the MOD was learning the adoption of MBDA’s Brimstone missile upon the MQ-9. In December 2013, a number of profitable take a look at firings of the Brimstone missile from a Reaper at Naval Air Weapons Station China Lake to assist integration onto RAF Reapers. diamond glass ball perc incycler have been fired at an altitude of 20,000 ft at distances of seven to 12 km (4.three to 7.5 mi) from the targets; all nine scored direct hits towards static, accelerating, weaving, and fast remotely controlled targets.

During its operational interval, the aircraft flew 959 hours on patrol and had a part in 2,309 arrests. It also contributed to the seizure of 4 automobiles and 8,267 kilos (three,750 kg) of marijuana. In April 2012, General Atomics announced possible upgrades to USAF Reapers, including two additional a hundred US gallons (380 l) gas pods under the wings to increase endurance to 37 hours. The wingspan can be increased to 88 feet (27 m), increasing endurance to 42 hours. The MQ-9 and different UAVs are known as Remotely Piloted Vehicles/Aircraft (RPV/RPA) by the USAF to point their human ground controllers.

For example, Google’s Project Wing requested greater than 100 exemptions to FAA laws in order to get their Part one hundred thirty five software for drone package deal delivery accredited. This laborious method is clearly not sustainable for a whole industry, or the FAA, over the long run. We are using this device to help shoppers efficiently navigate a path through the FAA until new insurance policies and procedures are in place. For its half, the FAA recently released a brand new rulemaking to issue type certificates for individual unmanned aircraft designs heavier than 55 kilos that will be used for bundle delivery.
The Guardians were geared up with the SeaVue marine search radar; their electro-optical infrared sensor was optimized for maritime operations. Coast Guard (USCG) out of land-based mostly stations in Florida and Texas. On 17 July 2008, the USAF began flying Reaper missions inside Iraq from Balad Air Base.
On 28 October 2007, the Air Force Times reported an MQ-9 had achieved its first “kill”, efficiently firing a Hellfire missile in opposition to Afghanistan insurgents within the Deh Rawood region of the mountainous Oruzgan province. By 6 March 2008, based on USAF Lieutenant General Gary North, the Reaper had attacked sixteen targets in Afghanistan utilizing 500 lb (230 kg) bombs and Hellfire missiles. In November 2012, Raytheon accomplished floor verification tests for the ADM-a hundred and sixty MALD and MALD-J for integration onto the Reaper for an unmanned suppression of enemy air defenses capability. On 12 April 2013, a company-owned MQ-9 geared up with a jamming pod and digital receiver/exciter efficiently demonstrated its electronic warfare capability at Marine Corps Air Station (MCAS) Yuma, performing its mission in coordination with over 20 participating plane.
The first two plane and first GCS is deliberate for supply in 2017, with the third plane in 2018 after they achieve IOC, and the last in 2020 achieving full operational functionality (FOC). On 21 November 2013, the Dutch Minister of Defense introduced that the Royal Netherlands Air Force (RNLAF) has selected the MQ-9 Reaper Block-V as its new MALE UAV. The new MALE UAV 306 squadron will be based at Leeuwarden Air Base.
On 24 September 2013, France’s first pair of MQ-9 pilots performed a two-hour training sortie at Holloman Air Force Base, New Mexico. Both French pilots had prior UAV expertise and went through a five-week ground-based mostly coaching course and 5 hours on a flight simulator before the first flight. Two additional crews had been additionally receiving instruction on the facility. General Atomics is because of deliver two Reapers and one ground management station to the French Air Force by the tip of 2013. On 26 November 2013, France declared that six pilots in three teams have been operational, following a hundred hours on flight simulators and 4 flights.
The aircraft sometimes lack systems able to complying with FAA See-And-Avoid laws. On 18 May 2006, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) issued a certificates of authorization allowing MQ-1 and MQ-9 UAVs to fly in U.S. civil airspace to search for survivors of disasters. In 2005, requests had been made for MQ-9s to be used in search and rescue operations following Hurricane Katrina but, as there was no FAA authorization in place on the time, it was not used. MQ-1 and MQ-9 drones must fly aboard cargo aircraft to travel lengthy distances as they lack the refueling know-how or velocity to journey themselves; the C-17 is large sufficient to carry the aircraft and help systems and can land on quick runways. Pilots touring with the Reaper will use the ground control station to launch and land the plane, while a lot of the flying shall be carried out by US-based pilots.
On 15 October 2013, the USAF awarded General Atomics a $377.4 million contract for 24 MQ-9 Block 5 Reapers. On sixteen October 2014, the MOD introduced the deployment of armed Reapers in Operation Shader, the UK’s contribution to the United States-led army intervention in opposition to Islamic State, the primary event the UK had used its Reapers outside Afghanistan. The number of aircraft out of the RAF’s 10-plane fleet was not disclosed, but it was expected that at least two had been despatched; extra had been dispatched because the UK drew down from Afghanistan.
By July 2010, thirty-eight Predators and Reapers had been misplaced throughout combat operations in Afghanistan and Iraq, another nine had been lost in training missions within the U.S. In 2010, the USAF carried out over 33,000 shut air assist missions, a extra-than-20 percent increase compared with 2009. By March 2011, the USAF had forty eight Predator and Reaper combat air patrols flying in Iraq and Afghanistan in contrast with 18 in 2007. On 1 May 2007, the USAF’s 432d Wing was activated to operate MQ-9 Reaper in addition to MQ-1 Predator UAVs at Creech Air Force Base, Nevada. The pilots first carried out fight missions in Iraq and Afghanistan in the summertime of 2007.
In July 2014, a French MQ-9 helped to find the wreckage of Air Algérie Flight 5017, which had crashed in Mali. The Predator and Reaper have been designed for army operations and never supposed to operate amongst crowded airline visitors.
- In February 2013, the U.S. stationed a Predator at Niamey to provide intelligence for French forces throughout Operation Serval in Mali; it was later replaced by two MQ-9 Reapers.
- In 2012, both Reapers and Predators were deployed in Benghazi, Libya after the attack that killed the US ambassador in that metropolis.
- In 2014, the MOD determined that its Reaper fleet will be introduced into the RAF’s core fleet once operations over Afghanistan cease.
- In October 2011, the USAF began working Reapers out of Arba Minch Airport in Ethiopia for surveillance-only operations in Somalia.
empire glassworks fruity detox bong was reported on 11 August 2008 that the 174th Fighter Wing would consist totally of Reapers. Beginning in September 2009, Reapers have been deployed by the Africa Command to the Seychelles islands for use in Indian Ocean anti-piracy patrols. The firm refined the design, taking it in two separate directions. The first was a jet-powered model; “Predator B-002” was fitted with a Williams FJ44-2A turbofan engine with 10.2 kilonewtons (2,300lbf; 1,040kgf) thrust.
Congress additionally has recognized the need to shield some important infrastructure from drones, however it has yet to implement those protections. In 2016, Congress included Section 2209 within the FAA Extension, Safety, and Security Act of 2016.
We want rules for routinely approving superior UAS operations, similar to flight past visual line of sight (“BVLOS”), flight over folks, and package deal deliveries by drone. Archived eleven March 2014 at the Wayback Machine Aviation Week, three May 2013. It had an elevated fuel capability for an endurance of as much as forty nine hours.
On 14 October 2013, an MQ-9 began patrolling the Manitoba portion of the U.S.-Canada border. The UAV is predicated at Grand Forks Air Force Base and can watch the four hundred km (250 mi)-lengthy border.
I’m a commercial pilot, present FAA certificated flight teacher, aviation lawyer, and former professor at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University. I distilled into this article a number of the important factors that I even have used as I even have assisted shoppers in efficiently obtaining Federal Aviation Administration approvals to function their drone sprayers.

RAF Reapers based mostly at RAF Akrotiri in Cyprus conducted one surveillance mission over Syria in November 2014, 4 in December 2014, and eight in January 2015. On 7 September 2015, Prime Minister David Cameron introduced that two Islamic State fighters from Britain had been killed in an intelligence-led strike by an RAF Reaper near Raqqa, Syria, the primary armed use of RAF property in Syria in the course of the civil war. By January 2016, RAF Reapers had flown 1,000 sorties in help of Operation Shader. Compared to operations in Afghanistan, the place RAF Reapers fired sixteen Hellfire missiles in 2008, 93 in 2013, and 94 in 2014, in operations in opposition to ISIL 258 Hellfires have been fired in 2015. NASA initially expressed curiosity in a production model of the B-002 turbofan-powered variant, but instead leased an unarmed Reaper variant, which carries the GA-ASI company name “Altair”.
These plane were geared up with GA-ASI’s Lynx synthetic aperture radar and Raytheon’s MTS-B electro-optical infrared sensors. CBP also had two maritime MQ-9s called Guardians, based at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, Florida and Naval Air Station Corpus Christi, Texas.
Variations included one for plane carrier operations with folding wings for storage, shortened, strengthened landing gear, an arresting hook, minimize-down or eradicated ventral flight surfaces and six stores pylons for a total load of 3,000 kilos (1,360 kilograms). On three November 2015, the U.S. permitted a deal overlaying weapons integration onto Italy’s Reaper plane, which would make it the first nation outside the UK to weaponize the drone. The potential for elevated contribution to NATO coalition operations improved operational flexibility, and enhanced survivability for Italian forces prompted the request. U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) operated 9 MQ-9s in August 2012. Two have been based in North Dakota at Grand Forks Air Force Base, four were based mostly in Arizona, at Fort Huachuca and one was based mostly at the Naval Air Station Corpus Christi, Texas.
The drone will not carry weapons and needs permission to enter Canadian airspace. U.S. authorities concern that drug smugglers, migrants, and terrorists may exploit the long border.
French MQ-9s had been first put into action in January 2014 at Niamey Air Base in Niger for border reconnaissance within the Sahel desert. The United States Department of Homeland Security initially ordered one Predator B for border protection responsibility, known as MQ-9 CBP-101.
The use of the unmanned surveillance aircraft is an enhancement of the partnership between U.S. and Canadian agencies. On 22 October 2013, the USAF’s fleets of MQ-1 Predator and MQ-9 Reaper UAVs reached 2,000,000 flight hours. The RPA program began in the mid-Nineties, taking sixteen years for them to succeed in 1 million flight hours; the 2 million hour mark was reached just two and a half years later. In October 2001, the USAF signed a contract for an preliminary pair of Predator Bs (001 and 002) for evaluation.
No weapons are planned for the Reapers as of 2013, but weapons could be outfitted. On 16 January 2014, France’s first MQ-9 flight occurred from Niger. The first two Reapers to enter French service are designated Block 1 and use U.S. gear my bud vase rachel water pipe; additional orders are to be modified with European payloads such as sensors and datalinks. On 31 March 2014, French Air Force Reapers accumulated 500 flight hours in assist of Operation Serval.
dankstop golf tee hand pipe chosen the Reaper over the Heron TP to carry out homeland security, counter-insurgency, and counter-terrorism operations. The Spanish authorities agreed to buy the system on 30 October. The Reaper was selected over the Heron TP mainly the kind pen v2 tri use vaporizer kit for commonality with NATO allies who also use the airframe. Although Spain’s instant precedence is for surveillance, they will finally try to weaponize the platform.
Aviation regulation continues to lag behind the capabilities of UAS expertise, and more must be carried out on that front – and faster – with out compromising safety. Our government knows that and is working on it but the process is slow. The trouble is that totally new rules are needed for many completely different parts of the UAS ecosystem. For instance, we want rules to enable a distant identification system for UAS.
The other two airframes, known as “Predator-B 001” and “Predator-B 002”, had a most gross weight of seven,500 pounds (3,four hundred kg). Altair differs from these fashions in that it has an 86-foot (26 m) lengthy wingspan (20-foot (6.1 m) higher than early and current MQ-9s). The Altair has enhanced avionics methods to better allow flights in FAA-managed civil airspace and demonstrate “over-the-horizon” command and control capability from a floor station. These plane are utilized by NASA’s Earth Science Enterprise as part of the NASA ERAST Program to carry out on-location science missions.
Congress was notified by the Defense Security Cooperation Agency that the United Kingdom was looking for to buy a pair of MQ-9A Reapers. They had been initially operated by No. 39 Squadron RAF from Creech Air Force Base, Nevada, later moving to RAF Waddington. A third MQ-9A was in the means of being bought by the RAF in 2007. On 9 November 2007, the UK Ministry of Defence (MOD) announced that its Reapers had begun operations in Afghanistan in opposition to the Taliban.
The FAA has approved 36 businesses—whose missions embrace firefighting, catastrophe aid, search and rescue, legislation enforcement, border safety and navy coaching—to operate unmanned plane. The most prevalent use has been undertaken by the Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Office of Air and Marine for the aim of border patrol. Mention using drones—or unmanned plane systems (UAS)—and most Americans will likely consider both military uses in remote areas of Afghanistan or the potential for industrial drone use, corresponding to Amazon bundle supply. A nice deal of consideration has recently been focused on the latter, because the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has named check sites to research points that can arise when industrial domestic makes use of of UAS are authorized. There has been substantial dialogue that this process also needs to include consideration of privateness points.
Aircraft are regulated by the Federal Aviation Administration (“FAA”). Beyond these, lawful methods of defending one’s property from drones are limited at present. In the absence of an entire and finalized regulatory system for numerous kinds of UAS, the FAA and business try to accommodate requests for UAS working approval, and for type certification of UAS, with exist- ing aviation rules which might be largely inapplicable.
In 2014, the MOD decided that its Reaper fleet will be brought into the RAF’s core fleet as soon as operations over Afghanistan cease. Procurement of the MQ-9A was through an urgent operational functionality requirement and funded from the Treasury reserve, however induction into the core fleet could have them funded from the MoD’s finances. The Reapers were retained for contingent functions, primarily to perform intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR), until its substitute enters service around 2018. In July 2018, it was introduced that this aircraft will be designated Protector RG Mk 1 in RAF service, and is to be delivered in 2023.
The Block 1–plus version was designed for increased electrical energy, safe communications, automatic touchdown, elevated gross takeoff weight (GTOW), weapons development, and streamlined payload integration capabilities. New communications capabilities, together with twin ARC-210 VHF/UHF radios with wingtip antennas, allow for simultaneous communications between a number of air-to-air and air-to-ground events, safe knowledge links, and an increased data transmission capability. The new trailing arm main touchdown gear allows the carriage of heavier payloads or extra gasoline. Development and testing were accomplished, and Milestone C was achieved in September 2012.
RAF Reapers’ primary function is to supply surveillance assist and situational awareness to coalition forces. On 10 November 2014, the MoD reported that an RAF Reaper had carried out its first airstrike in opposition to Islamic State forces, firing a Hellfire missile at militants inserting an IED near Bayji.

https://www.forbes.comThat provision required FAA action by January 15, 2017, however there has been no public progress toward implementation. In our view, implementing Section 2209 in a fashion that leverages the specialised knowledge of the owners and operators of critical infrastructure is crucial to making sure safe UAS operations round these amenities.
We want rules to control collaborative UAS traffic administration services that may largely be run by personal trade. We want rules for type certifying the varied forms of unmanned aircraft.
Designated YMQ-9s because of their prototype position, they had been delivered in 2002. The USAF referred to it as “Predator B” till it was renamed “Reaper”.
It began operations 4 October 2005 and crashed within the Arizona desert on 25 April 2006. The US’s NTSB determined that the crash’s most likely trigger was pilot error by the bottom-primarily based pilot, inadvertently shutting down the UAV’s engine by failing to observe the checklist.
It had payload capability of 475 pounds (215 kg), a ceiling of 60,000 ft (18 km) and endurance of 12 hours. The USAF ordered two airframes for evaluation, delivered in 2007. The first two airframes delivered with prototypes B-001 and B-002 (now in the USAF museum at Wright-Patterson AFB).

We believe the FAA is presently engaged on a proposed rulemaking to implement Section 2209. In April 2016, the United Kingdom introduced that it supposed to put an order for the Certifiable Predator B as part of its Protector MALE UAV programme for the Royal Air Force. According to the 2015 Strategic Defence and Security Review, the Royal Air Force will operate a minimum of 20 Protector techniques by 2025, replacing all of its present 10 MQ-9A Reapers. On 24 May 2012, General Atomics carried out the successful first flight of its upgraded MQ-9 Block 1-plus Reaper.
In October 2011, the USAF started operating Reapers out of Arba Minch Airport in Ethiopia for surveillance-only operations in Somalia. In 2012, each Reapers and Predators were deployed in Benghazi, Libya after the attack that killed the US ambassador in that city. In February 2013, the U.S. stationed a Predator at Niamey to offer empire glassworks small penis pipe intelligence for French forces throughout Operation Serval in Mali; it was later changed by two MQ-9 Reapers.

Unfortunately, recent geopolitical tensions have dredged up old hostilities and contentions. Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has put the former heart of the Soviet empire at ever greater odds with Western and NATO powers.
While these tensions were not cited as the official reason Russia has decided to part ways with the International Space Station effort, it can be safely assumed that this is the core reason.
On Monday, the Kremlin announced that Russia would abandon its role in the ISS project after 2024, putting an end to over 20 years of international collaboration between Russia and the West in outer space.
The announcement came following a meeting between President Vladimir Putin and Yury Borisov, the head of Russia’s Roscosmos State Space Corporation.
Borisov and Putin have indicated that ending the international collaboration will allow Russia to focus on its own dedicated space program.
This line of thinking is consonant with recent trends to weaponize space, the advent of the U.S. Space Force is a similar development in this vein.
It is still too early to forecast what will become of near-Earth space, but one thing is certain: a new space race is now upon us and will soon be in full swing.
Here’s what we currently know:
Russia will pull out of the International Space Station partnership and will instead build its own outpost, the country's space chief says https://t.co/8UEPIcBzth

Russia says it will withdraw from the ISS after 2024, casting new doubt over future global collaboration in space. https://t.co/bBuDcb5EsF
— Breaking News (@BreakingNews) July 26, 2022
Yury Borisov’s words appeared on Just The News:
“I think that by this time we will begin to form the Russian orbital station.
I believe that the future of Russian manned cosmonautics, first of all, should be based on a balanced and systematic scientific program, so that each flight enriches us with knowledge in the field of space,” he said.
Wondering why Russia says it will quit the international space station in 2024 to focus on its own outpost. Seems like Russia is isolating itself.
