If you plan to actually fly an aircraft, tuutorial will need to get an E6B flight computer. At kts ground speed, how long will it take you to travel between two checkpoints that are 18nm apart? I recommend using the manual E6B to calculate and then using an electronic version or computer flight planner to double check your work.
Different pointers will give you outputs in different units or bases.
E6B Flight Computer Instructions – Gleim Aviation
The A scale is the outer scale, while the B and C scale stick together on the inner disc. Rather than outline each one, I have made a collage of sorts to highlight a couple:.
In the center of the rotating portion are three “holes” windows used to compute corrected true altitude, density altitude, and true airspeed. These flight computers are used during tutoriwl planning on the ground before takeoff to aid in calculating fuel burn, wind correction, time en route, and other items.
Thanks for letting us know. If you okay, Can I Capture your post and your picture for studying? The front side of the flight computer is a logarithmic slide rule that performs multiplication and division.
Scale Values The numbers on the outer and inner scales represent multiples of 10 of the values shown. You can either round your answer up or down 9. Align the grid so the center grommet is over one of the heavy lines. Find wind correction angle, magnetic heading, and groundspeed. Complete the problem by use of the formulas. Help answer questions Learn more.
The procedure for determining fuel burn for a given leg is similar to finding leg time. The C scale is known as the time scale. Cookies make wikiHow better. Because this is a base 60 system, the multiplication pointer wont work for most problems.
The first, or top, box is the sequence of information required for filing a flight plan. For secondsuse the Second pointer tutorail Scale B. It can also be used for multiplication and division.
How To Use A Manual E6B Flight Computer
The second tick mark to the right of “35” may represent 3. Clay on May 19, at Notice that our pencil mark has moved around some. Add or subtract the wind correction angle from the true course to find true heading.
Enter your email below to receive notifications as soon as new posts are published! Very simple to read and understand! Rotate the azimuth plate until your desired course true course is aligned under the True Index mark.
Read the groundspeed corrected for wind at flifht center-line. I love that they are still just as useful today. When flying, you should always think magnetic, not true. In the ground exams for numerous pilot ratings, programmable calculators or calculators containing flight planning software are permitted to be used. Unfortunately, the E6B will not return an answer in minutes and seconds.
Many airspeed indicator ASI instruments have a movable ring built into the face of the instrument that is essentially fkight subset of the flight computer.
E6B – Wikipedia
How fast are we going? They are mostly used in flight trainingbecause these flight computers have been replaced with electronic planning tools or software and websites that make these calculations for the pilots. Many just called it the “Dalton Dead Reckoning Computer”, one of its original markings. The mathematical formulas that equate to the results of the flight computer wind calculator are as follows:.
Just like on the flight computer, the ring is aligned with the air temperature and the pressure altitude, allowing the true airspeed TAS to be read at the needle.
The number “20” on either scale may represent 0. Below are the steps:. Tell me what you fly with — do you prefer a manual or electronic flight computer? This is incredible…you have no idea how helpful this is. Now try an aviation related problem: The advantages of this method are You convert only one true direction to magnetic, not two.

An Approach to Propulsion Technology Risk Assessment
Proposes a risk assessment method that addresses the likelihood of achieving technological advances for particular military hardware by quantifying (1) the technological state of the art of that hardware and (2) the probability of achieving that program relative to past experiences with similar programs. The hardware considered in this research for state-of-the-art trending and risk assessment includes man-rated aircraft turbine engines, solid rocket motors, and non-man-rated missile and drone turbine engines. Preliminary evaluation of the various models indicates that, for the most part, the results agree with what engineers would expect concerning variables that are important to the trend of the technologies and to the outcomes for particular programs. | aerospace |

The spokesman added that the fighters would be used offensively against Russian ground forces to employ HARM anti radiation missiles and JDAM precision guided bombs, which have already been delivered by the United States and integrated onto Ukraine’s Soviet built aircraft. F-16s would be used to strike Russian command centres and logistical networks, according to the spokesman, allowing Ukrainian ground forces “quickly” seize Russian held territories.
The Ukrainian government has been requesting F-16 deliveries for close to a year, although Britain and the Netherlands recently spearheaded a push to lobby the United States and other Western countries to allow supplies of the aircraft. The Netherlands and Norway, which are close to totally retiring their old F-16s from service, have also been leading advocates of supplying the fighters, with other European states such as France and Portugal agreeing to provide relevant training. Russia’s destruction of American Patriot air defence systems less than a month after their delivery to Ukraine, the very limited numbers of such systems available, and the increasingly serious depletion of Ukraine’s other air defence assets, have been further factors adding urgency to the debate over F-16 deliveries. The United States has been more reluctant to allow transfers of the fighters to Ukraine, with the very high chance of heavy losses in combat potentially undermining confidence in the fighter class and prospects for future exports. F-16 variants set to be delivered to Ukraine have long been considered obsolete, and use mechanically scanned radars which are not only small, but could also likely be very easily jammed or spoofed even by older Russian assets. By contrast Russian fighters and interceptors used in Ukraine have all carried electronically scanned array radars, which in the vast majority of cases have been radars over twice as large as those the F-16 can carry.
Designed in the 1970s as a lighter and cheaper counterpart to the heavyweight F-15, the F-16 was not envisaged as a fighter capable of going head to end with top end heavyweight challengers like the Russian Su-35 and Su-57 which have both been involved in air to air operations over Ukraine. This and the very long reach of Russian ground based air defences, which have proven capable of shooting down non stealth aircraft across Ukrainian territory including from bases in Belarus. Western sources have also frequently highlighted the very long reach of Russian combat aircraft such as the Su-57 and MiG-31, which can engage targets up to 400km away, where older F-16s have an engagement range of only around 100km using the AIM-120C missile. F-16s cannot integrate longer ranged missiles due to the limitations of their radars and inability to carry oversized munitions comparable to the Russian R-37M missile, which only much larger aircraft are able to deploy. Although issues with training Ukrainian personnel to operate F-16s can be circumvented by deploying contractors from Western countries, as has been done for a wide range of more complex assets, the F-16s’ lack of stealth capabilities and overwhelming numerical and performance disadvantages would likely prevent them from being any kind of game changer in the ongoing war. | aerospace |

The satellite is being launched for SES of Luxembourg and was built by Space Systems/Loral. The launch date will be determined at a later time.
On June 18, Khrunichev engineers at the launch site received an out of tolerance telemetry reading on a first stage subsystem during pre-flight testing. However, based on additional pre-flight testing performed on June 19, it was determined that further investigation is necessary, requiring the launch vehicle be returned to the processing hall for additional testing. The vehicle and satellite remain in a safe configuration at the launch site.
Updated information will be posted on the ILS web site, www.ilslaunch.com, as it becomes available. | aerospace |

Ltd, a manufacturer and technological services provider in India’s defence and paramilitary markets, announced the signing of a contract with Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO), Indian space agency, for assembly, integration and testing of IRNSS satellites.
The ISRO Satellite Centre (ISAC), has signed an agreement with a consortium led by Alpha Design Technologies Pvt Ltd, Bharat Electronics Limited (BEL) and the Tatas to assemble satellites.
Notably, this is the first set of agreements signed by ISRO, which is trying to rope in private partners to overcome its own constraints. The space agency is encouraging private players to form a small consortium to undertake satellite and rocket manufacturing work so that it can remain focused on research and development.
Each consortium led by Alpha Design, Tata, and BEL respectively, will work independently.
The Alpha Design-led consortium consists of six small and medium-sized enterprises, including Newtech Solutions; Aidin Technologies and DCX Cables from Bengaluru; Vinyas Technologies from Mysuru and Avantel Systems of Hyderabad. and Exseed Speed.
Together, these private firms are expected to build at least 7 to 9 satellites — divided equally between Alpha, BEL and Tata — per year. The agreement is for three years and is extendable for two more years. The satellites will be assembled at ISRO Satellite Integration and Test Establishment (ISITE) facilities, which will separate enclosures for all the companies under ISAC/ISRO.
About Alpha Design Technologies, the startup offers its capabilities in delivering advanced defence electronics and aero structures, as well as R&D and manufacturing. The startup, under the guidance of ISRO, had already integrated and tested the high-end 1.65 tonne IRNSS-1i successfully. The satellite was launched on April 12, 2018, and is functioning excellently in outer space.
In next two years, the startup — with the help of ISRO — will be investing in creating, an ultra-modern satellite manufacturing, assembly, integration, and testing and qualification facilities, with a view to independently supply four to five satellites to ISRO.
As of now the startup is busy selecting 70 of their top rated employees which include engineers, diploma holders and ITI qualified, for them to be trained at ISRO for nine months. During the training at ISRO, the Alpha Design Technologies team would be assisted in on-job learning followed by actual assembly, integration and testing.
Speaking at the announcement, Colonel H. S. Shankar, Chairman and Managing Director, Alpha Design Technologies, said, “As part of the contract, initially our teams would get minimum ISRO supervision and later would independently be making complete satellites.”
Looking at the future prospective engagements with ISRO, Alpha Design Technologies is expecting to add more than 400 engineers, diploma holders and ITI qualified personnel to be part of Alpha Group, with annual turnover of Rs. 200 crore to Rs. 250 crore. The company had recently signed a multi-million dollar contract with Elbit Systems for manufacturing of 600 VHF communication devices for exports and later for large scale manufacture to cater for the requirements of the Armoured Corps.
Alpha Design is reportedly also planning to build its own facilities in the next 3-5 years. It is also scouting for investors and planning for an initial public offering (IPO) to mobilise funds to back the plan.
To recall, in March this year, ISRO has also tied up with Kerala to set up India’s first of its kind ‘space park’ with the technical support from ISRO, in order to incubate and promote startups in the satellite and space technology sector.

MetadataShow full item record
This dissertation investigates high angle of attack delta wing flow at multiple resolutions of turbulence closure. The work is divided into four studies. The objectives of each study are: (i) to identify the limits of RANS modeling, (ii) explore the challenges of applying the PANS model to the delta wing flow, (iii) identify the appropriate resolution required to capture specific flow features, and (iv) determine the physical differences between sharp and round leading edge separation. The outcomes from each of these studies are as follows. Steady-state RANS modeling is shown to be adequate for low and moderate angles of attack, except in regions near the point of primary vortex separation. At low Reynolds number the vortex structure on the forward portion of the wing is mostly laminar and must be fully resolved by the grid in order to capture the physics in the aft region. Also at low Reynolds numbers, it is shown that lower resolution simulations perform adequately in capturing important integral flow features such as pressure coefficient and the locations of the vortex separation and attachment lines. High resolution simulations of low Reynolds number flow do resolve more subtle flow features that do not significantly affect the aerodynamic characteristics. The principle advantages of high resolution simulations are most evident at high Reynolds numbers and high angles of attack. The relationship between scale resolution and observed flow features is established. The simulations establish the key flow feature differences between round and sharp leading edge wing at different length scales of motion. Features of interest are the intensity of the vortex structure, the levels of turbulence, surface streamline patterns, and surface pressure coefficient. Differences between the delta and diamond wing shapes are also identified.

In order to certify the aircraft, it must comply with all requirements applied by the regulator.
The scope of these regulations includes a detailed description of handling qualities, structural loading conditions, and flight performance criteria which must be met at any weight belonging to the approved range.
In other words, during the certification process, the manufacturer must prove that the aircraft is controllable, complying with performance requirements, and withstands expected structural loading at all certified weights.
Minimum Flight Mass is the lowest weight at which compliance with all applicable requirements can be assured. It includes empty weight + standard equipment + 2 required crew members + full oil + Minimum Fuel*+ ballast**
*Minimum Fuel can be established by the manufacturer or computed as the quantity necessary for a 30-minute flight at METO power setting.
**Ballast weight is required to keep the center of mass position and total mass within the design requirements for safe handling characteristics.
If the aircraft is below that minimum, it might lose its controllability in case of engine failure or stress force exerted by a sudden gust that could exceed the structural strength limitation.
To sum it up, there is a Minimum Aircraft Mass at which the aircraft is allowed to fly. Whenever minimum weight cannot be reached by adding some PAYLOAD (for example for ferry flights), solid ballast or extra (unusable) fuel should be considered.
Evionica’s Weight and Balance solution monitors the actual aircraft mass for Take-off and Landing. The user gets a notification whenever at least one is lower than the minimum required for a flight. Additionally, previewing and sharing the Loadsheet document is blocked unless the issue is solved. | aerospace |

The DELMIA solutions are also a major software component of the new Lockheed Martin Collaborative Human Immersive Lab (CHIL) opened at the end of 2010.
The CHIL is an advanced technology virtual reality and simulation laboratory that offers a smarter, reduced cost, and lower risk opportunity in building space systems, including satellites, exploration spacecraft, launch vehicles and missile defense systems. The facility enables virtual creation before the physical creation to improve the affordability of the various products and associated processes, while fostering a culture of operational excellence.
Leveraging the CHIL, Lockheed Martin was able to optimize a new factory in Littleton, Colo., that will produce next-generation government satellites. Lockheed Martin used DELMIA digital manufacturing solutions to develop, simulate, and optimize the production process, saving valuable production time by analyzing and validating production processes and the satellite build sequence in the virtual world prior to the physical build.
“By leveraging software solutions at the inception of our satellite factory, we are able to leverage the CAD models with the various simulations to develop the future satellite processing work instructions,” said Jeff Smith, director, Special Projects, Lockheed Martin Space Systems Company. “Our digital manufacturing capabilities are not only simulating the facilities here in Colorado, but are being used across several other programs to improve producibility, reduce rework and mitigate program risk.”
“Through virtual production and feasibility studies, Lockheed Martin has realized significant time savings. I am delighted that Dassault Systèmes is a part of this state of the art facility,” said Al Bunshaft, managing director, Americas, Dassault Systèmes.

Aspen Flying Club
|Commercial Single Engine Land, Instrument Rated
Kenneth has been in love with aviation since the moment he set foot in his first commercial flight at the age of 6. During his first year of college, he decided to take the step to obtain his private pilot certificate and proceeded to take flight lessons at the age of 17 in Puerto Rico. After spending 11 years in the mortgage industry, Ken decided to take a leap of faith and move to CO to complete the rest of his certificates/ratings at Aspen Flying Club.
Kenneth believes in persevering and continuing to pursue your dreams despite challenges; and with this attitude, he is excited to share his passion for aviation and help new aviators achieve their dream of flying in a safe, comprehensive, and exciting way!
His hobbies include traveling, hiking, singing, amateur acting, running, cooking, and reading.
5 useful questions to ask an instructor:
Why did you become a flight instructor?
Regardless of the answer, the way an instructor talks about why they fly is what is important. Look for
someone that is excited by teaching. They should have a genuine interest in giving others the gift of flight.
How long have you been flight instructing?
Some Instructors have thousands of hours under their belts and have been flight instructing for their entire
careers. Others have a few hundred and are just beginning. A seasoned instructor will have a lot of experience
but may have a set teaching style. A freshly minted instructor has less aircraft time but is able to relate to
common learning obstacles, having undergone their own flight training in the not too distant past. There are
advantages to both types of instructor.
How do you keep track of your student’s progress?
Using a syllabus is essential so that both student and instructor can track progress and milestones so make
sure your instructor uses one. Talk to other students and ask them what kind of reading their doing, what
books they’re using and the type of homework they’re getting. There should ALWAYS have some type of “homework”
assignment at the end of each lesson.
What is your availability?
Some instructors are part-time and work separate jobs during the week. Others are full-time, but may want to
have personal and family time on the weekends. Find an instructor with compatible availability. Flying at least
twice a week is the best way to progress quickly through accomplishments with less effort and less overall costs.
Choosing an instructor that is able to fly on the same schedule helps to keep flight training on a consistent path.
I’ve heard people talk about “stalling an airplane.” Can you tell me what it means?
This is a classic question. Regardless of knowing what an “aircraft stall” is or not, how an instructor explains
this concept will give great insight into how they can explain concepts. Are they patient? Do they use simple
terminology that is easy to understand? Do they ask questions to make sure their student understands, or do they
over simplify to brush off the question? Find an instructor whose instructing style is a good match. | aerospace |

It will accommodate the rotating flight crew and contract staff, both foreign and national, who are currently being accommodated at hotels and costly rented premises.
Chairman of Air Niugini Limited Sir Frederick Reiher says this will enable Air Niugini to bring “in house” at a considerable saving to the airline, industrial laundry and dry cleaning services, which have been outsourced for many years.
He says other facilities, such as the gym and restaurant, will be independently managed and generate revenue to the airline. There will also be a large pool where the mandatory training and certification of the cabin crew will be conducted.
“Presently, these trainings are being conducted in Australia,” Reiher adds.
The building, at a cost of K111 million, will be paid off from the rental savings of K1.6 million per month (K19 million a year) in less than six years and thereafter, be wholly owned by Air Niugini.
The project, along with a number of other steps the Air Niugini board and management have taken, is designed to help ensure the airline remains profitable in a challenging operating environment.
“This is without a question, a prudent commercial decision which is of immediate benefit to the national airline,” says Reiher.

Third, Bolden said that NASA had to make space exploration more entrepreneurial. He cited the example of a friend who was using venture capital to pursue a rocket engine that could take people to Mars in "39 days instead of 8 to 11 months." "The government cannot fund everything we need to do," he said.
Does Bolden have a friend funding fusion? I wonder who is the friend? And which kind of fusion? (Or is he simply talking about the VASIMR engine?) | aerospace |

Like the weather, the Daily Star’s FREE newsletter is a scorcher
Legendary NASA astronaut Neil Armstrong believed in alien life, his son has revealed.
Mark Armstrong, a Silicon Valley software engineer, was just six-years-old when his dad changed the course of history with his "giant leap for mankind."
It was during the summer of 1969, and the Armstrong clan went to Florida for the launch at Cape Canaveral and back to to their Houston home to watch the rest of the mission and the all important touchdown on July 20.
First man on the Moon Armstrong died in 2012.
Were he alive today he would be marking his 90th birthday on August 5 – but his legacy lives on.
Reflecting on his dad's achievements, Mark, 57, said despite Armstrong touching the heavens in the historic Apollo 11 mission, he didn't admit to believing in God – but he did believe in alien life forms.
Speaking from his home in Cincinnati, Ohio, to mark the 50th anniversary of the Moon landings last year, he said: "A lot of astronauts claim to have had a spiritual experience, that was not true of my father.

"My dad was an engineer and scientist first and foremost but had a wonderful spirit with a great sense of humour.
"Whatever religious beliefs he had he kept very close to the vest throughout his life.
"There have been a lot of claims from different religions about his converting to their religion, but none of that is true.
"But I once heard someone ask him if he believed in extraterrestrial life and his response was 'it would be arrogant not to'."
Astronauts travelling through space to Mars could make Venus 'pitstop' first
First human space settlers will have to 'alter DNA' to live on Mars, experts predict
He continued: "The universe is unimaginably vast and we know so little about it that his belief was, statistically speaking, the chances were overwhelmingly high that we are not the only life in the universe."
Armstrong's son's testament adds to debate as to whether Apollo astronauts may have spotted UFOs during their missions – a view never proven but still fiercely held by conspiracists.
The Apollo lunar flights may have ended in 1972, but the Moon has remained of great interest to NASA and scientists as well as inspiring us all to look up the stars.
That is something Armstrong's son Mark is very proud of to this day.
As the US looks to a new generation of space exploration with the Mars missions and bid to have astronauts landing on the lunar South Pole by 2024 – the pioneering spirt of men such as Armstrong continue to inspire.
Scientists discover ‘odd radio circles’ emitting ring-like pulses in space
Scientists discover massive black hole – and it's the closest to Earth yet
Mark said: "The plaque that they left on the moon, 'We came in peace for all mankind' had a very positive effect on the world.
"The human spirit was uplifted by the Apollo program. It inspired a generation of people to want to be work harder because they believed something good could happen in their future if they prepared themselves.
"I still see the evidence of that today when I speak to people from all over the world who say that they felt they were a part of the Moon landing.
"I am excited that going back to the Moon is now at the forefront of discussions in the public forum."
And despite believing in alien-life forces daddy Armstrong was very humble and down to Earth.

Mark said: "My dad often said that he was 'born at the right time' to put himself in the candidate pool for Gemini and Apollo.
"All the candidates that applied for the program, most of whom were not chosen, were highly qualified in their own right.
"That's a responsibility that he was well suited for and it's difficult to imagine the pressures that he was under without actually being in his shoes."
And with NASA’s new Mars rover Perseverance said to be bristling with tech made to find signs of alien life – who knows what the next generation of space explorers may find.

The American Government has set 2030 as the date of a crewed surface landing to Mars, with prior rover missions currently underway to support the human mission.
The Mars 2020 Perseverance will look for signs of previous life forms on the Red Planet, assess its climate, its geology and prove it can successfully deploy technologies for utilising natural resources in the Martian environment to support human life.

In its mission statement NASA said: "Even if Mars is devoid of past or present life, however, there's still much excitement on the horizon.
"We ourselves might become the "life on Mars" should humans choose to travel there one day."

Our airline will consider other alternatives for future purchases of larger versions of the Boeing 737 Max.
According to Scott Kirby, said Boeing needs concrete action to restore its previously renowned reputation for quality, as reported by the Associated Press.
Kirby’s comments came a day after United revealed that it expected losses in the first three months of the year due to the grounding of its Boeing 737 Max 9 aircraft.
United has 79 Boeing 737 Max 9 planes, which were taken out of service by federal regulators more than two weeks ago after a panel came off an Alaska Airlines Max 9 plane in flight and left a huge gaping hole in the plane at high altitude.
An investigation is underway to determine whether the bolts that help hold the panel together were missing or broken.
Kirby on CNBC said he was confident the Max 9 could be allowed to fly again in the near future. But I am disappointed that manufacturing challenges continue to occur at Boeing. Several times over the past few years, manufacturing defects delayed deliveries of the 737 Max and Boeing’s larger 787s. Last year, United received 24 fewer Boeing planes than scheduled.
United Airlines has orders for Max 10 planes, a larger version of Boeing’s 737 Max line. However, that model and the smaller Max 7 were years late in obtaining certification from the United States Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).
“The grounding of the 737 Max 9 will likely further complicate Boeing’s efforts to get new models approved. The Max 10 type is at least five years late and could be even more delayed in the future,” he said.
He explained, I think this is the breaking point, the landing of Max 9, maybe the breaking point for us. We’ll at least build a plan that doesn’t involve the Max 10. I didn’t detail what aircraft the airline might acquire instead, but I did note there is only one other major global aircraft manufacturer, namely Boeing’s European competitor, Airbus. Without Max 10, it is likely that United will not grow as fast as expected. [sources/photo special] | aerospace |

The two-place, all-electric AutoFlightX V600 has six propellers for lift fitted on two booms parallel to the fuselage and a pusher propeller in the rear for forward flight. The design uses four propellers underneath (one each at the ends of the two booms) plus a single propeller above each boom (at its center), for a total of six lifting propellers.
AutoFlightX, founded in February 2018, is dedicated to the development, production, sales and operation of eVTOL aircraft. The company uses the aviation network of the Munich Metropolitan Region as well as the Technical University of Munich. The V600 is based on the earlier BAT600.
The company expects their eVTOL aircraft can be used as autonomous air taxis, regular piloted-sports aircraft and as unmanned autonomous cargo drones. AutoFlightX plans to fly the prototype in the coming weeks. The operational aircraft is planned to seat three-to-five passengers and be certified under the new European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) Ultralight rules for aircraft with a maximum takeoff weight of 1,323 lb (600 kg). However, the initial plan is to use the aircraft for cargo delivery, beginning in 2023.

https://azpat.org/space-forces-most-important-job-is-protecting-gps-says-commercial/ | 2022-10-06T11:25:59 | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-40/segments/1664030337803.86/warc/CC-MAIN-20221006092601-20221006122601-00768.warc.gz | 0.954167 | 1,653 | CC-MAIN-2022-40 | webtext-fineweb__CC-MAIN-2022-40__0__117050637 | en | Why is the Space Force mission so important? Well, in a nutshell, because it protects the GPS that lets your phone tell you you missed your exit on your way to that new fish taco joint. At least that’s the response given by two guards in a new recruiting ad for the service that aired Tuesday.
“I think it’s important because we use it in everyday life, for example the GPS we use every day,” Space Force intelligence officer Captain Pierre Jones said in the new advertisement, where he and another Guardian were asked about the reasons for the Space Force’s mission. is so important.
âThe most important thing that Space Force supports, from a civilian perspective, is that we have a GPS,â said Captain Natalia Pinto, space operations officer. âIt’s something that is operated by an individual, businesses, banks, all kinds of financial institutions. So from the outside it’s probably the most important thing we rely on.
Pinto is right: the 24 satellites that make up the Global Positioning System are responsible for everything from finding your way to the restaurant, maintaining your electricity, and running the ATM when you need more cash. to pay for all those fish tacos. Oh, GPS also probably helped the fishermen who caught these fish bring their loot back to port; and it could also have helped the farmer who grew the corn from which the tortillas were made to understand where to plant his crops.
While it is difficult to estimate the exact cost of a GPS disruption in terms of dollars and cents, it has been widely reported that a problem of a few millionths or one hundred thousandths of a second can disrupt bank payments, stock markets, telecommunications networks. , power grids and countless other essential aspects of our daily lives.
“Applying economic value to GPS has become almost as impossible as tying the value of other utilities,” writes Greg Milner in his book Pinpoint: How GPS is Changing Technology, Culture, and Our Minds. âHow much money do electricity and telephones generate? What is the value of oxygen for the human respiratory system?
So yeah, silly as it sounds, there’s a lot of point in making sure those humble GPS satellites keep buzzing. But protecting them is hard work. In fact, the interviews with the guards took place near the end of a new advertisement called “Space is Hard,” which the service unveiled at the 36th Space Symposium in Colorado Springs, Colorado. The first part of the ad featured Chief of Space Operations General John “Jay” Raymond, explaining why outer space is much more difficult today than it was before.
âPreviously all we had to worry about was astrophysics, Kepler’s Law, gamma rays, solar flares, rocket science, black holes, and the theory of relativity,â Raymond said in the middle. from a montage of cool space images. This list of problems sounds pretty complicated, “but now we also have to track about 30,000 objects orbiting at over 17,500 miles per hour,” Raymond said.
“And our whole way of life depends on us to protect our satellites from attacks, day and night,” the general added. “So yes, space is difficult.”
The Space Force is 20 months old and has around 4,840 uniformed personnel, making it the newest and by far the smallest branch of the military (the next smallest is the Coast Guard, with approximately 48,000 members in active and reserve service). The branch hopes to reach 20,000 members over the next two years, but to do so may need to fill a public relations gap.
âOne of the biggest things we have to get over is that there is a Netflix series that pokes fun at the Space Force,â Mandy Smithberger, director of the Center for Defense Information at Project On Government Oversight, told Defense News in January. “If the public has thought of all of this, the reputation of the Space Force – in the public imagination – is one of incompetence.”
âThe way the Space Force has been presented to the general public has not been healthy,â also told Defense News Todd Harrison, director of the Defense Budget Analysis Program and Aerospace Security Project at the Center for International and Strategic Studies. âIt didn’t help educate people about what the military is doing in space. This has caused more people to become confused as to what Space Force does versus what NASA does. “
Space Force is working on it. Just four days ago, the service launched its own recruiting Twitter and YouTube accounts (previously it was part of the joint US Air Force and Space Force social media accounts). Earlier this month, the first group of future Space Force recruiters completed a five-day training course at Space Force Base Vandenberg, Calif. The service has recruited nearly 400 enlisted guards and 250 officers so far in fiscal 2021, but it hopes to secure another 500 in the coming year. That’s what ads like âSpace is Hardâ are for.
“This ad highlights the essential mission our Guardians accomplish every day to defend this nation and how essential space is to everything we do in daily life and modern warfare,” Raymond said in a statement. Press. “We need talented, high-caliber recruits to help us deal not only with the physical challenges we face in space, but also the threats posed by our potential adversaries.”
At the end of âSpace is Hard,â the tagline âGuardians Wantedâ flashed on the screen before a separate segment began. The second segment, which was also posted on the US Air Force and Space Force recruiting Facebook page, features face-to-face interviews with Jones, Pinto, and a few other tutors.
The purpose of the ad appears to be to humanize the Guardians, in part by asking them what their favorite random space fact is. Jones said it was because the moon has no wind. Pinto said it was the fact that the International Space Station was traveling at 16,000 miles per hour and circling the Earth every 92 minutes or so, and Spec. 3 Jake Robertson said satellites will fall from space if they travel less than 17,500 miles per hour. (For those who may be wondering what a “Spec 3” is, this is Specialist 3 – part of the new Space Force rank structure.)
Overall, the subtext of the “Space is difficult” ads appears to be “Space is difficult to explain”.
It’s hard to explain what the Space Force does in a 30-second TV spot trying to convince a high school or college student that they should enlist. By comparison, other branches have it easy: they can show a Marine storming a beach or an army helicopter slicing through the sky. But Space Force must explain why an invisible satellite floating thousands of miles above your head is essential to your lifestyle. To make matters more difficult, the Space Force likely won’t be sending Guardians into space in the immediate future, so they can’t do the Space Cowboy ambulatory pitch just yet.
In previous commercials, the Space Force has harnessed the sense of wonder many of us get when we look at the night sky; or the promise of creating a sci-fi future as it unfolds. The âSpace is Hardâ commercial and the interviews that follow it seem to bring these ideas back from the great sky to Earth in the form of real people like Raymond, Pinto and Jones.
“It gives you the opportunity to surpass yourself, to challenge yourself,” said Pinto, of joining the Space Force. The benefits are extraordinary, as members can “be a part of something that has an impact outside of Earth’s atmosphere,” she added.

The Czech startup Neuron soundware, which develops solutions for automatic maintenance based on sound and vibration analysis of machines, has not only penetrated abroad, but also the frontiers of space. The technology combining IoT and artificial intelligence is mostly used on machines in factories or on escalators to avoid unplanned downtime. Two years ago, the startup also caught the attention of the European Space Agency’s space incubator (ESA BIC), which focuses on linking research from space technology to Earth, and vice-versa. It has started using sound analysis in a project to prepare for a pre-flight test of small satellites. For the Czech startup, this was a potential entry point into the space sector; for example,acoustic detection technology could help astronauts prevent malfunctions on spacecraft or stations in the future.
Neuron soundware technology involves listening to the sounds of machines, and then using artificial intelligence to evaluate the sound patterns. It can then provide early warning of anomalies; for example, the onset of a component failure. This function enables real-time monitoring of machine status, optimising maintenance and downtime and ensuring that all machines receive alerts about impending failure.. A computer or mobile device performs these actions remotely, eliminating the need for physical inspections that might lead to additional downtime. The reliability of space technology is a prerequisite for the successful expansion of humanity into space.
From factories to space
However, Neuron soundware has much broader applications than simply maintaining production machines. In fact, vibration analysis can also be used for quality control or optimizing production management across industries. Two years ago, the company decided to enter the space sector. It joined ESA BIC in Prague, where it is now testing its technology for quality control and preparation for pre-flight testing of small space satellites, called cubesats, which will, for example, image the Earth.
“Our technology has an incredibly diverse range of applications, and space is an area where we see huge potential for its use. We are now testing the base plates of cubesats to see if they can withstand the wild vibrations of launching a launch vehicle into space. But testing cubesats is just the beginning for us, and one day we would like to see our technology in space. For example, it could be used to monitor the health of individual components of a life support system such as air conditioning, recycling systems or space station cooling. For example, the Hawaii Space Exploration Analog and Simulation (HI-SEAS) centre, where NASA and other partners are testing conditions on Mars, has expressed interest. Detecting potential failures of these systems early and minimizing the risk of loss of life will be essential for space colonization,” says Pavel Konečný, founder of Neuron soundware.
Up to 100 companies are in the potential market in the EU alone
Successful validation of the device’s functionality could really help the company break into the huge world of space probe manufacturing. Testing in certified labs equipped for large satellites is expensive. For many smaller companies and universities, the desktop test equipment developed by Neuron soundware is sufficient to test cubesats that often weigh only kilograms. It consists of a so-called shaker that simulates rocket launches and other mechanical tests, as well as a recording device from Neuron soundware. Everything is connected to an online platform for collecting, managing and analysing the resulting data. Tests so far look encouraging.
“We first ensured that our equipment complies with the technical requirements for pre-flight and developmental checks and then we have already started testing. Normally, cubesats are tested on large, expensive machines, which are also designed for huge satellites, and there are a limited number of these. We manage testing in a fraction of the time and cost, yet at least as reliably. So the tests are proceeding as planned and the project is heading towards a successful conclusion. Success would open the door to potentially 50 to 100 manufacturers of these small space exploration devices in the European Union alone,” says Konečný.
“The space sector requires the most advanced technologies not only directly on space satellites, but also in testing and quality control. If your air conditioning or heating breaks down on Earth, you can handle it. But in space, it’s a matter of survival. That’s why we are constantly seeking and supporting solutions that take the reliability and quality of these devices even further. What we particularly appreciate about Neuron soundware solutions is the speed of testing compared to traditional test labs that have long waiting times and become a bottleneck in device production. Neuron soundware technology allows us to speed up the process and at the same time significantly reduce costs,” says Michal Kuneš, Program Manager at ESA BIC’s Czech office.
“Neuron soundware is another of more than 34 promising startups in the Czech ESA incubation centre. The Czech Republic is home to many talented engineers and visionaries, both in the space sector and in the technology sector in general. The Neuron soundware team was able to take their seemingly unrelated technology and demonstrate its applicability to space applications,” says Michal Bambušek from CzechInvest, the operator of the ESA BIC incubator in the Czech Republic. | aerospace |

Saturday, February 12, 2011
WASHINGTON - In yet another incident of cosmic togetherness, NASA’s Stardust spacecraft would be redirected to pass within 200 kilometers of comet Tempel 1 on the Valentine’s Day.
In the heat of the moment, astronomers hope, Tempel 1 will be cajoled into yielding a few more clues about her background. And Stardust, equipped with imaging and dust composition analysis instruments, will relay those clues to Earth.
The Valentine’s Day flyby could yield a wealth of new information about Tempel 1’s structure and composition and how its features change with every passage around the Sun, said Joe Veverka, principal investigator for Stardust-NExT, the NASA mission orchestrating the rendezvous.
Stardust could also catch a glimpse of the crater that formed when a probe from Deep Impact crashed into Tempel 1’s surface six years ago.
“That impact threw up so much ejecta that Deep Impact never saw the crater. So it could never see how big the crater is and what [it] tells us about the mechanical properties of the surface,” said Veverka.
That information is vital for any future mission that involves landing a spacecraft on the surface of a comet, he said.
And finally, astronomers hope the rendezvous will provide a closer look at some of the surface features Deep Impact saw when it zoomed by in 2005. Layered terrain, for example, could contain information about how comet nuclei were formed; and smooth flows hint at some internal processes that could be working their way up to change the surface.
Stardust caught its first glimpse of Tempel 1 on Jan 26 and will keep its eye on the comet as it approaches, collecting data to help mission navigators refine its trajectory.
And on Valentine’s Day, as Earthbound lovers gaze into each other’s eyes, the two orbiting bodies will meet, about 120 miles apart. As they pass, Stardust will test the density and composition of the dust surrounding the comet and snap 72 high-resolution images. (ANI) | aerospace |

The information about the Liberal VIPs' high-carbon, high-flying ways comes from an inquiry of ministry posed by Conservative MP Kyle Seeback who asked the Department of National Defence for the cost of the carbon tax for the fuel in the Prime Minister's Challenger and Polaris jets.
While the DND could not provide that specific data, replying that "National Defence tracks hours flown for aircraft versus kilometers flown as a standard metric," the agency was able to break down the number of flights hours, number of trips, and the litres of jet fuel used by the PM and his inner circle on the government aircrafts.
The data indicates that while Trudeau and his Liberal cabinet were telling everyone to "stay home to stay safe," they were taking more flights and burning through more fuel than ever during the pandemic.
2019-2020 data from the ministry detailed 2012 different flight legs, 6055 flight hours, and a fuel usage of 27,139,222 litres.
2020-2021 data included 2072 different flight legs, 6031 flight hours, and a fuel usage of 25,666,675.
2021-2022 data shows 2003 different flight legs, 6127 flight hours which burned through 23,692,992 litres of jet fuel.
A total of 76,498,859 litres of fuel were burned through the two jets in just 3 years.

When vacation goers happen to be taken into Earth revolve, it appears probable that area motels may be designed for longer stop-overs in area. Then proceeded to mention that short “sight-seeing” trips with the satellite can be established from these finest resorts. Once we should be produce visit the satellite plan sufficient to forward visitors present, the journey would have to be because short as possible.
So how very long will be the drive within the ground towards moonlight anyhow? People and devices are making that travels on numerous occasions. Even though some took many, many years, people were surprisingly fast. Let’s review the several tasks and techniques, to discover that offers the most efficient and quite time-consuming method of transportation.
Several tasks get found its way to lunar orbit and arrived about lunar exterior, though the methods getting discover widely changing. Whether a quest makes use of a rocket to shoot its option there, or a subtle ion motor to little by little border their payload better, we’ve several choices prepared to people when we finally visit the moonlight in the future. Accordingly, I’ll render a summation from slowest to fastest flights to Earth’s organic satellite 380,000 km off.
The slowest goal to fly on the satellite was actually just about the most advanced properties staying delivered into place. The ESA’s SMART-1 lunar probe was released on September 27th, 2003 and employed an advanced ion motor to propel they into moonlight. SMART-1 little by little spiraled out from the world to arrive at the location yearly, 1 month and a couple days later December 11th, 2004.

SMART-1 could have been sluggish, however ended up being by far the most energy practical. The write used merely 82 kg of xenon propellant for your objective (stopping with a lunar impact in 2006). The SMART-1 quest is definitely an oddity as it is without a doubt the longest purpose for the Moon, the remainder objectives won a point of weeks to attain lunar revolve.
China’s Chang’e-1 objective was launched from Xichang Air start Center on March 24th 2007 but sat in planet scope til March 31st if it started the transit around the satellite and arrived in lunar revolve on December 5th. The quest therefore took five days to cover up the space, which consists of rocket supporter. This became followed upwards from Chang’e 2 orbiter, which opened on Oct 1st 2010 and arrived in lunar scope within 4 instances and 16 weeks.
Now, Chang’e 3 probe and lander launched on Dec. first, 2013 at 17:30 UTC and arrived in Lunar revolve on December 6th at 9:53 UTC. It absolutely was so that the fastest on the Chang’e goals, using 4 period, 12 many hours, and 23 moments to get to the satellite before deplyoing their lander to the lunar surface.

However, it was the first-even unmanned mission on the moonlight which was the fastest. This purpose was known as the Soviet Luna 1 examine, which accomplished a flyby belonging to the Moon in 1959. This fundamental, but groundbreaking probe was launched on January second and flew further than the Moon by a number of thousand miles on January fourth. They just accepted 36 hours to really make the travel, thus journeying the normal pace of 10,500 km/hr.
The Apollo objectives, of the manned Lunar mission, comprise pretty fast in achieving the satellite. Normally, it had been the Apollo 11 goal, wherein Neil Armstrong and hype Aldrin took over as the first boys to walk about Moon, that earned the maximum statements. This objective started on July sixteenth, 1969, wherein a Saturn V multi-stage rocket grabbed the astronauts from Kennedy area core into sphere.
These people attained lunar orbit after simply 51 time and 49 mins in room, arriving on July nineteenth, 1969. The widely known “One little stage for man…” address probably would not happen until July 21st, about 109 hours and 42 hour into objective. After dusting faraway from the Lunar area, the Lunar Module used another 48 hours, 22 several hours and 56 moments responding to environment. Extremely in addition to be the fundamental manned mission, Apollo 11 was also the fastest trip to the Moon in which astronauts happened to be concerned.

Best Goal to Date:
By far, the fastest goal to fly-past the moonlight would be NASA’s brand-new limits Pluto goal. bookofsex MobilnГ strГЎnka This mission experienced a quick publish, with its Atlas V skyrocket accelerating they to a a speed around 16.26 kilometres per next (58,536 km/h; 36,373 mph). At this particular rate, they simply obtained 8 times and 35 mins for it to get to the Moon from ground. Quite a good start because of it probe, which had been on its way to Pluto and Kuiper rap at the same time.
Even though this is definitely extraordinary, it is well worth remembering that brand-new perspectives wasn’t slowing down to type in lunar scope (just as was actually the outcome each of the manned and unmanned quest into moonlight stated previously). Therefore, it had been almost certainly nonetheless speeding up long after they have put the moonlight with its rear-view mirror each morning (supposing they had one).
Objective concepts just like the Space publish method and Orion Multi-Purpose staff means (MPCV) will likely need to be considered in the near future. On December 5th, 2014, an unmanned test of this Orion pill occurred, basically acknowledged research flight-test 1. Getting launched atop a Delta IV large rocket, the capsule attained reduced planet sphere, reached two orbits on the world, immediately after which splashed along again 4.5 hours after.

During the course of the journey, EFT-1 reached velocities up to 8.9 km/s (32,187 km/h; 20,000 miles per hour). With this rate, an Orion quest could conceivably make it to the Moon (at a normal length of 384,400 kilometers) in virtually 12 times. Certainly, configurations will have to be created for lbs (due to the fact will need a crew), and deceleration. But nonetheless, that is certainly not a poor structure for a tourist flight.
Therefore, any time area vacation starts installing sight-seeing trips or missions for the Moon, they’ve several options. They may offering long vacation cruises, delicately sliding on the moonlight making use of ion applications to little by little let the vacationers take up the perspective. Or they were able to select the exhilarating rocket drive of a life time, blaring visitors away into place and lashing them back in only a couple of days. Not easy to claim the one that individuals would like, but clearly there’s a lot of who would pay handsomely towards possibility.

Just last month, the jacket Buzz Aldrin wore to the moon during the Apollo 11 mission achieved a record-breaking $2.8M at Sotheby’s in New York. More than half a century has passed since that first moon landing, yet nostalgia for those early days of space exploration appears stronger than ever.
Perhaps it’s because of what that era represents. Soldiers in the US had returned from WWII to a strong economy; the baby boom was under way and the American Dream had never looked so achievable. War rationing in the UK had finally ended in 1954 and a shattered Europe was recovering and rebuilding. The cold war created a new sense of purpose and solidarity in the west.
In October 1957, the Soviet Union launched the unmanned Sputnik 1 satellite – the event that is now taken as heralding the start of the Space Age. This set off the Space Race – a frenzy of competition between superpowers, reaching its zenith in the Apollo moon programme.
The space race had an electrifying effect on culture. It’s hard to imagine now, with our thousands of satellites, International Space Station and Hubble and James Webb telescopes, that not a single body in the solar system had been visited. It would be four decades before the first exoplanet was discovered. No satellites orbited Earth. Many believed it plausible that intelligent life could exist on Mars.
Those early steps into space truly felt like the dawn of a new phase of humanity. People began to imagine a new way of living – new horizons, new materials, a whole new way of existence. It was an age of optimism – even utopianism – that reverberated throughout culture, from fashion and music to design and art. Space was cool.
The Space Age as a design movement
Just as society was glimpsing the future through the lens of the space age, and reconsidering how we might live and structure our lives, innovative new materials were upending the possibilities of what could be created. Materials like plastic, fibreglass, moulded plywood and stretch fabrics, developed or improved through the war years, began to find their way into the workshops of a new generation of designers. At the same time, pop culture was exploding, impacting design, fashion and lifestyle in a way not seen since the 1920s – or perhaps ever. Revolutionary furniture seduced a population flush with increasing purchasing power with new, futuristic, sexy, fun and outlandish designs, heavily influenced by space – whether space ships, UFOs, rockets, or just notions of how one might live in the new era of space travel.
Icons of Space Age Design
Danish designer Verner Panton was one of this new generation of designers. Still a teenager when WWII ended, he was 31 when Sputnik I first orbited Earth, and hitting the prime of his career. Panton designed several classics of Space Age design, the most famous being what’s become known as the Panton Chair (above). Designed in 1959, it became an icon of the 60s, with its sinuous monobloc of high-tensile fibre-glass-reinforced polyester – a new material which made its shape possible. With a shiny finish and white or bold colours, it was an instant classic that is still being manufactured by Vitra today. Other classics by Panton which fall into the Space Age canon include his Verpan Moon Pendant Lamp and the Heart Chair.
Panton had studied in the architectural practice of Danish designer Arne Jacobsen, who is credited with another Space Age classic, his 1959 Egg Chair. Now synonymous with the 1960s, its curvilinear design suggests the pod-like structures of space capsules.
The enveloping pod-like appearance was taken several stages further with Eero Aarnio’s Ball Chair, designed in 1963 and manufactured by Asko in 1966. It’s an enduring pop-culture classic that immediately conjures up images of space travel and futuristic habitats – equal parts fashion icon and museum piece.
One of the most overtly space-influenced design classics is the Sputnik Chandelier – named, of course, after Sputnik I. Originally designed by Gino Sarfatti, one of the most desirable versions is the Italian 1950s Stilnovo, though the Sputnik Light has become a standard of mid-century-modern design, with multiple versions, designers and manufacturers.
Another fabulous example of Space Age lighting from Stilnovo is their flying saucer-shaped 1243 Light in brushed copper and brass – packed full of mid-1960s Italian élan.
One of the most spectacular examples of Space Age design is the Nova House, designed by Michel Hudrisier and M. Roma in 1972 for Studio Rochel. Pure sci-fi, it bears all the hallmarks of the movement – shiny surfaces, bubble forms and a futuristic aesthetic. The €250,000 pricetag (from gallerist Clément Cividino) demonstrates just how collectible Space Age design has become.
Sharing the shiny, spherical form of the Nova House is the Garden Egg Chair, designed in 1968 by the Hungarian artist Peter Ghyczy for the Elastogran polyurethane factory in West Germany. Bold primary colours, UFO-like form and futuristic in concept and aesthetic, it’s a Space Age design classic.
Three fabulous Space Age chairs to round off, all three of which look like they belong in the 1969 classic 2001: A Space Odyssey. The 1963 Djinn Chair by Olivier Mourgue actually did appear in it. The Tulip Chair by Finnish designer Eero Saarinen, didn’t, but should have done. One of the most sought-after mid-century design pieces – together with the Tulip Table – it’s a classic of modern industrial design whose unapologetic synthetic construction and futuristic curvilinear form marks it out as one of the key icons of Space Age design. Lastly, a rare piece, but no less iconic for it: the Chester Lounge Chair from the Aerospace Collection by Vietnamese designer Nguyen Manh Khanh – also known by the soubriquet Quasar. By then living and working in France, Quasar created the Chester in 1968 out of chrome-plated steel and PVC. It’s an instant Space Age classic.
The dream ends
By the mid-1970s, the great Space Age dream was drawing to a close. Apollo 11 had transfixed the world; 650 million people had watched it live, one of the greatest television events in history. But by Apollo 17 in 1972 – the last time humans set foot on the moon – interest was dwindling. The Space Race had been won; space was old news, and the world became embroiled with the oil crisis, the tail end of the Vietnam War, and the Winter of Discontent in the UK. Perhaps the true end of what is considered the mid-century’s golden Space Age was in 1986 with the Challenger disaster, when the space shuttle exploded 73 seconds into its flight, killing all seven astronauts.
We’re now a long way distant from those heady days of the early Space Age. But the design pieces of the era live on, exerting a talismanic hold on us, emissaries from a shinier, more optimistic world.

The alien environment, harsh atmosphere, and other conditions led to some severe health issues. A Mars journey would be even more dangerous for the health of astronauts.
Because there is no gravity to drag fluids out of our brain, an odd feeling occurs. Also, the radiation exposure could profoundly affect our system, causing cancer. Even if astronauts got only a few hours/day to work on outer space, their muscles and bones could lose their mass.
Such results had been gathered after more than 50 years of human outer space journeys. Those travels have been mostly developed in no more than six months. But now, the next mission involves sending people much farther, to the Mars.
For reaching Mars would take approximately six months. A full trip would probably take somewhere between two to three years.
The US has confirmed its plans to send people to Mars by 2030. How realistic such a thing could be, we don’t know yet. We still need more time to find out how much our health could be affected.

Scott Kelly, a former astronaut, realized the incredible amount of four travels to the ISS. He also spent some incredibly long periods in space, being part of the first research ever performed to compare the health status of two identical twins – one in outer space and the other on Earth.
While Scott was away for a full year on the ISS, his identical twin Mark Kelly, was here on Earth. During Scott’s whole mission, many researchers examined, observed, and tested both twins’ health status. There have been a lot of samples required, from both brothers’ blood, urine to stool, before and after the space trip.
Such a thing offered details about their body functionality, the DNA stability, and the gut health, as well. Also, when Scott was away, researchers got some of his samples reserved for when he came back. Others have been sent back to our planet via a rocket.
Scott’s condition after his return displayed some severe health issues. For example, he couldn’t see well, and his skin erupted out in rashes, he felt very exhausted all the time, while his immune system was on extreme alert.
There were also some intriguing findings in Scott’s condition. His genes appeared to be similar to those of younger people. But they came back at their normal state after a while on Earth. He said: “I returned younger and more handsome than my brother.” | aerospace |

Asteroid Day promotes awareness and provides knowledge to the general public about the importance of asteroids in the formation of our universe and the role they play in our solar system today. Asteroid Day TV started streaming on June 27th at 4am PDT.
Below are some tidbits about asteroids to help celebrate the day.
An Asteroid with a Comet-Like Tail
Observations from December and early January show that Asteroid (6478) Gault has developed a comet-like tail. This small asteroid is spining so fast that it is throwing off material from its surface.
Observe Asteroid 18 Melpomene at Opposition
Asteroid 18 Melpomene is currently well placed for observation, located in the constellation Scutum. It is at opposition on July 2nd 2019 and will reach its highest point 31° above the southern horizon around 1 am PDT. It will be visible in small telescopes as its visual magnitude is 9.2
Asteroid Re-named as a Tribute to Brian Eno
Astronomers renamed the asteroid formerly known as 81948 (2000 OM69) to “Eno” as a tribute to musician, composer and record producer Brian Eno. Eno was described as “an experimental sculptor of sound” and has become synonymous with ambient music. The honour came just a day after Eno was presented with the Stephen Hawking Medal at Starmus 2019 for the reissue of his 1983 album, “Apollo: Atmospheres and Soundtracks”.
Asteroids can have a Moon
About 15% of asteroids are in binary systems, and the smaller of these pairs is referred to as a moon. The Asteroid Impact and Deflection Assessment (AIDA) mission proposes to send a pair of space probes to study and demonstrate the effects of crashing a spacecraft into an asteroid. NASA’s Dart spacecraft will impact the moonlet, “Didymoon”, that orbits the larger asteroid Didymos. The European Space Agency’s Hera spacecraft will follow-up with a detail survey of the results of the impact. The mission will help explore the possibility of deflecting this type of asteroid and formulate ways to protect Earth from harmful space rocks.
Asteroid with Enough Metal to Make Everyone Rich
It’s estimated that asteroid Psyche 16 contains various metals worth $10,000 quadrillion Mining all its metal could make everyone on Earth a billionaire, or could destroy commodity prices and cause the world’s economy to collapse. Pysche 16 is one of the ten most massive asteroids in he asteroid belt. It was discovered by the Italian astronomer Annibale de Gasparis in 1852
Scientists classify Psyche 16 as a M-type (metallic) asteroid that is comprised mostly of metallic iron and nickel similar to Earth’s core. Psyche 16 could be an exposed core of an early planet, maybe as large as Mars. NASA is launching a mission to probe the asteroid in the summer of 2022. The “Discovery Mission” should arrive at Psyche 16 in 2026. This will be the first mission to explore a world of metal rather than one of rock and ice. | aerospace |

Larry Crabb, a photographer and pilot who is an amateur UAV flier of three years, taught a program for those interested at the Betty Strong Encounter Center on Sunday. He discussed just how popular they are becoming and how they are being used.
Drones are often used around the world for big tasks like carrying weapons and surveillance. Anyone can fly them, but things can go wrong.
“Safety is one of our biggest concerns and one of the reasons that I am doing the program is to get the word out that as these get easier and easier to fly it’s gonna become more and more important, because they are proliferating very quickly, more and more important that people be aware of the safety aspect of this and the FAA is into it so I want to get people aware of that,” said pilot and photographer, Larry Crabb.
Larry says he sees drones becoming very popular.

Hawaii's Aviation History
Early Aviation in Hawaii3>
The history of aviation in Hawaii from the early 1900's to the present day.
Interest in aviation in Hawaii boomed from that moment on with a number of adventurous souls making flights on Oahu and the Neighbor Islands. The first flight between islands was made on March 15, 1918 when Army officer Maj. Harold M. Clark Jr. flew to Molokai and back.In 1919, the military were the first to establish a landing strip in Honolulu, but it wasn’t until 1925 that a joint fund raising effort by the Chamber of Commerce and the Territorial Legislature made Hawaii’s first airport a reality. The landing along Keehi Lagoon was acquired for a sum of $27,410.
The airport was dedicated on March 21, 1927. The field was named in honor of the late Commander John Rodgers, a naval aviator, who piloted the first aircraft to reach Hawaii after an adventurous flight that ended with the plane landing in the ocean and being sailed to the island of Kauai with fabric torn from the wings.
The 1927 Territorial Legislature also appropriated funds for further development of John Rodgers Airport. As a result, aviation enterprises boomed in Hawaii.
Inter-Islands Airways (now known as Hawaiian Airlines) was organized in 1929 and inaugurated service to the Neighbor Islands on November 11 of that year with three eight-passenger amphibians, thus beginning the first dependable air transportation service in Hawaii.
The first commercial airline flight from the mainland to Hawaii was on April 16, 1935 by a Pan American Airways Sikorsky S-42 seaplane. The trip from San Francisco to Pearl Harbor took 17 hours and 14 minutes.
The military took over all airport operations during World War II, grounding all civilian aircraft. The airport was returned to the Territory of Hawaii on October 1, 1946 and renamed Honolulu Airport.
The following year, the Territorial Legislature formed the Hawaii Aeronautics Commission to operate all airports in the Territory. Following Statehood in 1959, the Hawaii Aeronautics Commission was abolished and its duties were taken over by the state Department of Transportation on July 1, 1961.
With the introduction of jet service to Hawaii in 1959, the old terminal began bursting at the seams. Construction of a new jet-age terminal began in February, 1959. The new John Rodgers Terminal became operational on October 15, 1962. It is continually being upgraded to accommodate modern jet aircraft and an increasing number of passengers.
As Hawaii’s tourism industry grew, so has the airport’s need for new gates and passenger facilities. In 1993 a new Interisland Terminal was opened west of the Overseas Terminal for Interisland flights. A new Commuter Terminal opened in 1991.
Honolulu International Airport is adjacent to Hickam Air Force base and though joint-use agreements, the state and military share the runways.<.p>
After searching for several decades for a location for a new general aviation facility to relieve crowded conditions at HNL, the state received 757 acres of surplus land at Barbers Point Naval Air Station on July 1, 1999 to be used as a GA facility. The new airport, named Kalaeloa Airport, is being used by general aviation aircraft to practice pilot training, formerly done at Ford Island and HNL.

Design, engineering and assembly of the Dream Chaser is being done in Colorado, where Sierra Nevada expects "to increase employment significantly" in the coming days, said Mark Sirangelo, head of the division and corporate vice president of parent company Sierra Nevada Corp. in Sparks, Nevada.
Sierra Nevada also plans to hire people in Florida, where the human space flight vehicle is expected to launch from John F. Kennedy Space Center in 2016, Sirangelo said. "Hundreds of people" will be added to the program in the coming years in Colorado, Florida and at partner company locations around the country, Sirangelo said.
To date, Sierra Nevada has received $125 million from NASA for the Dream Chaser vehicle program. While the privately held company doesn't disclose exact figures, it has put another "more than half," into the project to date, Sirangelo said, or at least another $125 million.
Sierra Nevada Space Systems currently is readying the space vehicle for approach and landing tests at Edwards Air Force Base in California later this year. The Space Shuttle-looking space vehicle is planned to serve initially as a taxi for astronauts going to and from the International Space Station.
The vehicle successfully completed a "captive carry" flight test on Tuesday, May 29, along the Front Range. It is expected to be ready to transport crews to space as early as 2016, according to a Sierra Nevada press statement.
NASA's announcement comes in the form of a 21-month contract slated to start this month. The seven-person vehicle is currently the only one being developed in the commercial space industry that would be capable of landing on a runway when it returns to Earth from space.
Sierra Nevada Corp. is a privately held company based in Sparks, Nevada that employs more than 2,100 people in 16 states. The Louisville office has more than 180 employees, according to the Boulder County Business Report's most recent data.

After floating around weightlessly for months, suddenly, he needs to keep his own head aloft. He feels dizzy. And because there are no callouses on his feet anymore, he says, he feels like he’s walking on hot coals.
A first trip to the gym was excruciating, he says, because it felt like two people had jumped on him when he was trying to do a situp.
Astronaut Chris Hadfield returned to Earth Monday night after a five-month mission at the International Space Station that saw him become the first Canadian to command the orbiting laboratory.
The 53-year-old touched down in Kazakhstan on a Russian Soyuz capsule which was also carrying Russian cosmonaut Roman Romanenko and NASA astronaut Tom Marshburn — the same pair Hadfield blasted off with on Dec. 19, 2012.
After spending 176 days in space, aboard the International Space Station, one NASA astronaut, Barry Wilmore, and two Russian Federal Space Agency cosmonauts, Alexander Samokutyaev and Elena Serova, returned to solid Earth on Wednesday evening at approximately 10:07 pm ET. Below is an image of the return capsule they were in as the re-entered Earth's atmosphere:
On Friday, March 27, NASA astronaut Scott Kelly, together with cosmonauts Gennady Padalka and Mikhail Kornienko, will strap in for a rocket ride to the International Space Station, embarking on a mission unlike any before them.
Earthlings, let us join in celebrations of this momentous occasion! On March 23, 1965, NASA pilot John Young made history when he smuggled a sandwich into space.
The sandwich was corned beef on rye, and it was already two days old when Young whipped it out of his flight suit and took a bite of it two hours into the Gemini 3 mission.
So that’s pretty gross.
“Where did that come from?” Gus Grissom, the mission’s commander, asked his crewmate.
MIAMI: Think you have the right stuff to be an astronaut? NASA issued a hiring call on Wednesday for space explorers that may fly on future missions aboard commercially built spacecraft or NASA's deep-space Orion capsule. With the American spaceflight program grounded since 2011 when the space shuttle was retired, NASA is looking to bolster its corps, which currently consists of just 47 astronauts. In 2000, at the peak of the space shuttle era, there were 149.
There's so much talk about going to Mars that we tend to overlook a more reasonable mission that is staring us in the face, says former NASA astronaut Jeffrey A. Hoffman. Business Insider spoke with Hoffman at BBC FUTURE's World-Changing Ideas Summit about the future of space exploration.
Since the end of the Apollo era of space-flight, NASA’s manned missions have stayed within Earth’s gravity well, never escaping into the great blackness of deeper space.
That will end with the Orion mission, set for test flights in early 2014. | aerospace |

With the ear, you get a paper airplane with a real airplane’s wings and propellers, as well as an engine and cabin, according to the company.
Baron also makes a head that looks like a real-world airplane head with a jet engine and wings.
The ear is available in a variety of sizes, and the company also sells a few of its own paper airplane models for about $10,000 apiece.
The company says it was inspired by the designs of the airplane pilot himself, who was obsessed with the idea of making his aircraft a paper bird.
The Baron paper airplane model comes with a metal frame and the wings of the aircraft.
(Baron Airplane)The paper airplane heads are made by a company called Papercrafts, which also makes airplane models.
Baron says its paper-foam paper airplane-head will be available in November.
It’s not clear when Baron plans to sell its paper airplanes, but it did make the announcement via Twitter.
We’ll keep you posted as soon as Baron announces a release date. | aerospace |

The ERS-2 was launched in 1995, following on from its sister satellite, ERS-1, which had been launched four years earlier.
At their time of launch, the two ERS satellites were the most sophisticated Earth observation satellites ever developed. In 2011, the ESA retired ERS-2 and began the process of deorbiting.
After 13 years of orbital decay, mainly driven by solar activity, the satellite will naturally re-enter Earth’s atmosphere. During re-entry, the satellite will break up into pieces.
Most of the ERS-2 will burn up on re-entry, but the ESA is still monitoring its landfall, which is predicted to occur somewhere over the east coast of central Africa. Any pieces that survive making landfall will be spread out over a ground track on average hundreds of kilometres long and a few tens of kilometres wide, so the associated risks are deemed very low.
According to data acquired on February 20, the ESA’s Space Debris Office predicts the ERS-2 satellite re-entry will occur around 15:32 GMT. The ESA’s Space Debris Office did warn their prediction may be out by roughly four and a half hours before or after that time thanks to the influence of unpredictable solar activity, which affects the density of Earth’s atmosphere and, therefore, the drag experienced by the satellite.
Throughout its 16-year working life, the ERS-2 returned a wealth of information that revolutionised our perspective of Earth and understanding of climate change. It collected data on Earth’s diminishing polar ice, changing land surfaces, rising sea levels, warming oceans, and atmospheric chemistry.
In addition, the ERS-2 was called upon to monitor natural disasters, such as severe floods and earthquakes, in remote parts of the world. | aerospace |

Scaled Composites designed the aircraft while Northrop Grumman
Corporation developed the internal payloads that can collect
intelligence, conduct reconnaissance, and simultaneously execute
communications functions such as real-time video. The result, unveiled
this week by Northrop Grumman, is an Optionally Piloted Vehicle (OPV)
called Firebird, which can be flown manned or unmanned. The payloads
are carried internally to help extend aircraft endurance, which could
be as long as 40 hours. The system is designed for “plug and play”
internal payloads, much like a computer memory stick. The aircraft
flew a mere 12 months after the concept was first developed. The first
manned flight will take place at the end of May or in early June.

Airframe technicians are so-called because most employers prefer to hire those with airframe and power plant certifications. They are more commonly known as aircraft mechanics and are classified as such by the Standard Occupational Code from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Their primary responsibility is to keep aircraft in working order, but airframe technicians can opt to specialize in an area like the repair or maintenance of a specific aircraft category.
Airframe Mechanic Job Duties
An airframe mechanic thorough inspections of aircraft frames, mechanical components and electrical systems to locate wear, defects and other problems. They read documentation and other repair manuals to determine standards and procedures, and test aircraft functions using diagnostic instruments to ensure those standards are being met. They then repair or replace components using hand or power tools and may order additional supplies. Meticulous records of all activities are needed, which can then be presented to managers or inspectors when requested.
Types of Aircraft Technicians
Because of the different types of aircraft needing servicing, airframe technicians often specialize in such categories as passenger jetliners, propeller-driven airplanes or helicopters. They may also focus on different systems, such as engines or hydraulics.
The BLS divides technicians into two main categories – maintenance and repair mechanics. Maintenance mechanics specialize in preventative maintenance, periodically inspecting aircraft based on a combination of the hours flown and the days since the last inspection. Aside from visual examination, they can rely on automatic monitoring systems on aircraft that have them. Repair mechanics focus on repairing systems by fixing problems that inspections reveal or that pilots report.
Both types of aircraft technicians typically work under strict deadlines, which may cause stress.
Work Environment and Safety
The hangars, repair stations and airfields in which technicians work can be dangerous for the inattentive because of the powerful, high-speed aircraft they are around. In addition, technicians may handle dangerous chemicals or lift heavy objects, sometimes from scaffolds and ladders. These factors contribute to a higher-than-average rate of injury and illness for the profession, according to the BLS.
Technicians minimize hazards by observing strict safety procedures and wearing safety gear such as headphones to counter the noise generated by engines. Most work in eight-hour day, evening and night shifts, with the best schedules going to those with the most seniority.
Career Requirements and Prospects
According to LeTourneau University, airframe technicians need certification from the Federal Aviation Administration, which can be obtained by going through an FAA-approved aviation maintenance school. Education at airframe and powerplant schools usually lasts 18 to 24 months, although up to a bachelor’s degree is available in some institutions.
As of May 2019, the mean aircraft mechanic salary was $67,110 per year, or $32.27 per hour. Most worked in support activities for air transportation and scheduled air transportation. The highest wages were in the spectator sports industry, averaging $94,790 yearly, or $45.57 hourly.
The BLS expects jobs for the profession to grow by 3 percent from 2018 to 2028, with most of the demand coming from an increase in air travel due to a growing population.

Ado Sanusi, has reacted to the planned arrival of a plane belonging to the proposed national carrier, Nigeria Air, which is said to be enroute to Abuja, the nation’s capital city.
Sanusi, an aviation expert and analyst said the arrival of the aircraft does not translate into commencement of commercial operation by the airline.
He made his position known while featuring on Channels TV Sunrise Daily.
There has been an uneasy calm in the industry over the comment by the Minister of Aviation, Senator Hadi Sirika, that the Airline would fly before May 29 despite the court order stopping the national carrier project.
Sanusi, who bared his mind on the issue during the interview said it is one thing for the aircraft to arrive the country and it is another for the airline to commence commercial operation.
According to him, it is practically impossible for the airline to start commercial passenger operation in two days time given the rigorous process involved which he believes would not be waived by the regulatory authority, the Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA), as the whole world is watching.
He said, “It is one thing to bring the airplane to the country, it is another thing to start the airline, getting all the necessary approvals from the Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA).
“There’s a very important and vital component of getting an AOC which is the demonstration flights. Of course there are waivers that the Director General of the NCAA has the power to give, but the demonstration flights is critical to safe operations and I do not think he would give that waiver.
“So it is practically impossible for the airline to take off in the next two days. It is not possible. Because they have to do the demonstration flights, the five phases have to be completed, the international community is looking at us to see actually whether we are actually following what the international Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) has stipulated in their recommended practices and laid down procedures for commercial carriage of passengers internationally.
“So I don’t think that knowing the Director-General who has worked in ICAO before would not flout those rules. So it is one thing to bring an airplane and it is another thing to start commercial operation.” | aerospace |

KARACHI: The country’s flagship carrier Pakistan International Airlines will be discontinuing flights to the United States from October 31, airline officials said.
According to the officials, PIA has been incurring losses of up to Rs1.25 billion annually due to its flight operations to the US – a concern which prompted the management to discontinue the flights. The airline is no longer booking US flights through its reservation system after October 31.
PIA had been operating flights to the US since 1961 without any disruption. A total of five weekly flights to New York and three other US cities were being operated.
Sources privy to the matter said the airline had decided several times in the past to discontinue US flights due to the financial losses; however, it faced ‘political pressure’ each time, which hindered its plans.
Some politicians holding dual citizenship, top government officials and pilots exerted ‘pressure’ on the airline not to stop its US flight operations. These flights were ‘beneficial’ to the politicians and officials, the sources said.
PIA, after stopping direct flights to the US, will enter into a code-sharing agreement with an American airline. US-bound passengers will be flown to London, where they will then be transferred to the American airline which will take them to the US, the sources said.
Such a code-sharing agreement will help PIA to avoid financial losses, the sources added.
The PIA management has also decided to axe surplus staff, sources close to the matter said.
The airline is expected to cut more than 500 jobs under the latest plan. | aerospace |

The Sweetwater County Sheriff's Department wants people to know about a recent Federal Aviation Administration [FAA] e-mail on drones near wildfires, according to Sheriff's Department spokesman Dick Blust.
He says the following e-mail was recently sent out by the FAA:
“There are lots of great places to fly your drones, but over or near a wildfire isn’t one of them. In fact, drone operators who interfere with wildfire suppression efforts are subject to civil penalties of up to $27,500 and possible criminal prosecution.
“Here’s why it’s important: Aerial firefighting aircraft, such as air tankers and helicopters, fly at very low altitudes, just a couple hundred feet above the ground and in the same airspace as hobby and recreational drones. This creates the potential for mid-air collision that could seriously injure or kill wildland firefighters in the air or on the ground.
“As a result of unlawful drone operations near fires this year, fire managers have temporarily grounded all firefighting aircraft on several occasions for safety reasons. Shutting down firefighting operations could cause wildfires to become larger and can threaten lives, property, and valuable natural and cultural resources.
“The bottom line is ‘If you fly, we can’t.’” | aerospace |

However in contrast to these corporations, that are planning on taking individuals to area utilizing rockets or spaceplanes, two-year-old startup Area Perspective is taking a distinct tack.
As a substitute of going to area on a rocket, that are prohibitively costly to develop and will not enchantment to all clients, the startup plans to supply rides to the stratosphere utilizing a capsule connected to a big balloon. Its plans have attracted investor curiosity: the corporate stated Thursday it had raised a $40 million Collection A to take it via to its first deliberate business flights in late 2024.
Area Perspective has already collected 475 reservations, every of which was secured by a deposit between $10,000-$25,000, relying on how quickly the passenger is trying to fly. The whole value of a seat is $125,000.
Not going the rocket route has its trade-offs. Whereas a balloon trip is considerably cheaper, and will enchantment to extra risk-averse clients, clients received’t go fairly as excessive into the ambiance and received’t expertise any weightlessness. As a substitute of hitting or surpassing the Kármán line, the internationally acknowledged however finally invisible boundary delineating “area” at 50 miles above sea stage, the stratospheric balloon will take clients to round 20 miles above Earth. (That is nonetheless considerably larger than a business airplane trip, which solely reaches round 7 miles above sea stage.)
However Area Perspective guarantees that its six-hour trip will nonetheless supply spectacular views, particularly of the curvature of the Earth and the blackness of area. The plan is for the area balloon to regularly ascend for 2 hours at 12 miles per hour, glide at apogee for 2 hours, then spend the ultimate hours of the flight regularly descending. The capsule will splash down within the ocean, the place eight clients plus one pilot shall be scooped up by a ship, much like how NASA and SpaceX retrieve their crewed capsules.
There are different perks to not going fairly so excessive: From the outline, it sounds just like the Area Perspective balloon trip will feel and appear extra like a first-class business flight with any main airline at this time, slightly than an astronaut launch. Clients will apparently have entry to Wi-Fi and even a bar. No particular coaching shall be required, both; an organization spokesperson stated the pre-flight security briefing shall be much like that delivered by flight attendants at this time.
The corporate has already hit a serious milestone, efficiently launching from the Area Coast Spaceport in Florida an uncrewed, unpressurized full-sized capsule simulator to focus on altitude in June. The subsequent collection of check flights may also be uncrewed, adopted by the primary piloted check flight in 2023.
Area Perspective was based by husband and spouse and co-CEOs Jane Poynter and Taber MacCallum. The pair had been crew members of Biosphere 2, an bold and eccentric venture to recreate Earth’s situations in an enclosed system. They later based Paragon Area Improvement Company, which develops life-support techniques for astronauts, and World View Enterprises, an organization growing stratospheric balloons for distant sensing. Earlier this month, World View additionally introduced it could supply stratospheric balloon rides by 2024, for $50,000.
The Collection A was led by Prime Movers Lab, with further participation by new buyers LightShed Ventures, the Explorer 1 Fund and Yamauchi no.10 Household Workplace. Further buyers embody Tony Robbins, VC corporations E2MC and SpaceFund, Kirenaga Companions, Base Ventures and 1517 Fund. | aerospace |

Running from Monday to Wednesday – the purpose of this workshop was to present NASA’s plans for the future of space exploration to the international community. Among them were two presentations that outlined NASA’s plan for the exploration of Jupiter’s moon Europa and other icy moons. NASA hopes to send probes to these moons to investigate the oceans that lie beneath theirs surfaces, which many believe could be home to extra-terrestrial life.
As was indicated during the course of the presentation, these objectives were threefold. The first would involve searching for biosignatures and signs of life through analyses of Europa’s surface and near-subsurface material. The second would be to conduct in-situ analyses to characterize the composition of non-ice near-subsurface material, and determine the proximity of liquid water and recently-erupted material near the lander’s location. The third and final goal would be to characterize the surface and subsurface properties and what dynamic processes are responsible for shaping them, in support for future exploration missions.
Subsequent exploration would require robotic vehicles and instrumentation capable of accessing the habitable liquid water regions in Europa to enable the study of the ecosystem and organisms.” In other words, if the lander mission detected signs of life within Europa’s ice sheet, and from material churned up from beneath by resurfacing events, then future missions – most likely involving robotic submarines. There is a chance the lander will find no signs of life. If so, the future missions would be tasked with gaining a better understanding of the fundamental geological and geophysical process on Europa. | aerospace |

I am Emerald Robinson. In this What Is Video we will take a look at the Earth's only natural satellite, the moon.
The moon is called the moon simply because nobody knew that any other moon existed until Galileo discovered Jupiter's moons in 1610. The moon is the fifth largest planetary satellite in the solar system, with a diameter of 2,159 miles; it's roughly one-fourth the diameter of Earth.
The moon's gravity is one-sixth of Earth, so if you weigh 120 pounds on Earth, you would only weigh 20 pounds on the moon. The moon is nearly 239,000 miles away, close enough that its gravitational force influences the Earth's tides.
The moon rotates on its axis once for every orbit it makes around the Earth, every 27.
3 days. This means the same side of the moon always faces the Earth. The moon possesses a crust, mantel, and core. It has no atmosphere, which means it has no weather or wind to cause erosion. Therefore, all the footprints left by the manned missions to the moon, beginning with Neil Armstrong's first steps on July, 26th 1969, are still there. The only thing that could destroy them is a falling meteorite. Craters caused by impacts cover the landscape of the moon, but the dark solid areas of the moon are flat region of cooled lava from volcanic activity that stopped about 1.
2 billion years ago. Those areas called Maria cover 16% of the moon.
Earth's moon is widely believed to have formed when a Mars-sized object collided with the Earth over 4.
5 billion years ago. The impact was so catastrophic that debris was kicked into orbit around Earth, which led to the formation of the moon.
The moon is the only object man has ever visited beyond Earth. | aerospace |

Air Arabia, the Middle East and North Africa’s first and largest low-cost carrier (LCC), announced it has taken two new Airbus A320 aircraft deliveries bringing its total operating fleet to 53 aircraft.
The latest Airbus A320 arrived on schedule from the Airbus facility in Toulouse, France, marking the completion of all deliveries this year.
Adel Al Ali, Group Chief Executive Officer, Air Arabia, said: “The delivery of our last two aircraft for 2018 marks a significant step in the development of our fleet expansion strategy especially as we added 12 new routes this year. We are proud to have created one of the industry’s most modern fleet through exceptional organic growth which helped us offer customers a wider range of destinations at great value.”
The new A320 aircraft have gone straight into service across Air Arabia’s over 150 destination network served from the main carrier hubs in the UAE, Morocco and Egypt. The airline added 12 new routes from its hubs in the UAE, Morocco and Egypt in the first half of 2018.
The A320 family is the world’s best-selling and most modern single-aisle aircraft family. All Air Arabia aircraft cabin interiors are fitted with a world-class comfort seats offering one of the highest seat pitch of any economy cabin across the globe and therefore, offering passengers extra leg room to sit back and relax during their flight.
The next delivery will be Air Arabia’s first A321neo LR to join the fleet early next year. Adding the A321 to the fleet will enable the low-cost carrier to extend its fleet reach and therefore enter new markets as well as better serve existing high-density routes. | aerospace |

Time dependent, curve fitted gravitational accelera-tion in x- and y-axes from published data have been incorporated in FLUENT through a User Defined Function (UDF), developed in C which includes space craft rotation. At the sensor plane the two-dimensional flow has also been visualized. A good agreement is between simu-lation and published experimental data. Last but not the least, for checking its response to suffi-ciently strong perturbations in an orbital flight, physical and numerical experiments are carried out where an astronaut swung the sensor in hands along the y axis with amplitude of 10cm and a frequency of 0.2 Hz. A good qualitative validation has been achieved between CFD and actual experimental results.

Eastern Airways, the U.K.’s independent regional airline, celebrated its inaugural Cornwall Newquay-London Gatwick route Dec. 15. The flight was operated with one of Eastern’s ATR72-600 turboprop aircraft, fueled with sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) supplied by Air BP. The airline underlined its commitment to reduce carbon emissions, backing calls for closer collaborative work between industry and government to lower the cost and widen availability of SAF.
“SAF is key to decarbonizing aviation, and we are pleased to see our customer both fully embracing this strategy and recognizing the environmental credentials of the ATR72-600,” said ATR CEO Stefano Bortoli.
Robert Courts, U.K.’s aviation minister, added, “We are committed to decarbonizing the aviation sector, achieving Jet Zero, and investing millions into sustainable aviation fuel which will power future green flying. It’s good to see Eastern Airways operating its inaugural Cornwall to London flight using SAF and this is a great milestone.”
Welcoming Eastern Airways as its latest airline customer providing new scheduled flights from Cornwall Newquay Airport, Tim Norwood, director of corporate affairs for Gatwick Airport, said, “It is very exciting to welcome the first Eastern Airways’ flight from Cornwall into Gatwick Airport today, particularly as the aircraft was fueled with sustainable aviation fuel. With smart government policy to underpin investment in cost-competitive U.K. SAF production, many more flights could start using SAF in coming years, which would support the aviation industry’s commitment to reach net zero carbon by 2050.”
The SAF supplied is a 37 percent blend produced from waste and residue products. | aerospace |

Around 1,750 aircraft (the RAF's 630 against the Luftwaffe's overwhelming 1,120) took part in the air battles which lasted until dusk.
The action turned out to be the climax of the Battle of Britain as, following the Luftwaffe's failure to capture air superiority, Hitler postponed Operation Sea Lion, the invasion of Britain, but of course then switched to the indiscriminate Blitz, night time bombings.
"Never in the field of human conflict have so many owed so much to so few"
Churchill also said.
A country that forgets its past, will have no future.
Hopefully many will think about those few brave pilots today
Not forgetting all the ground crew who serviced, patched up and re-armed all the aircraft to keep the 'Few' in the skies.
Nicely written tribute 38th Parallel. We owe a great deal to those who fought in that war, both wars. Amazing that with almost double the numbers, our men kept superiority of the skies over the Luftwaffe. They must have been amazingly brave and stalwart.
With hindsight Germany made tactical errors - ceasing the targeting of the south coast radar installations - on one night 4 radar installations were bombed and put out of commission but by next date 3 of the 4 were put back in action.
Ditto the targeting of raids on RAF airfields which was within about 2 weeks of rendering RAF unable to continue resistance - but Hitler demanded a switch to revenge raids on London after the ignominy of Berlin being bombed.
RAF also gave the pilots in SE a recovery break by switching pilots with Northern bases - whereas German pilots had no such breaks and had to fly daily however exhausted.
UK production of much needed fighter planes also rose to the challenge with fighter pilots saying they might be a dozen aircraft short on a base one evening but magically they were back up to strength next day - whilst we also had close to a 2 to 1 ratio of pilots to aircraft.
We should also not forget the British engineer Beatrice Shilling ...
The Spitfire's original engine couldn't handle barrel rolls. The throttle valve would get flooded with fuel as the plane turned upside-down. German pilots quickly caught on to this particular flaw because black smoke would puff out of the Spitfire whenever it flipped over. The engines would stall out for a moment, but in a dogfight, that's all a German Messerschmidt Me 109 needed.
Beatrice Shilling, a British engineer and motorcycle enthusiast, came up with the perfect stopgap. She placed a ring inside the engine to restrict fuel flow to the minimum amount necessary. "Although not a complete solution," the Royal Air Force's website states, "it allowed RAF pilots to perform quick negative g manoeuvres [sic] without loss of engine power." The device quickly drew comparison to a diaphragm and was referred to as "Miss Shilling's orifice." The rings that helped the Allies turn the tides in the Second World War were eventually replaced by pressure carburettors in 1943.
I am sorry, but you comments about problems with the Merlin engine fitted to the Spitfire are incorrect.
The problem was that when the plane rolled all the fuel in the float chamber was forced to the top starving the engine with fuel. The engine would cut out which would then make the propeller go into fine pitch slowing the aircraft even further. When the plane righted the engine would pick up, and then overspeed.
The lady involved was a Miss TILLY Shilling who worked at Farnborough. The Merlin's fault was with the carburettor float chamber, and Miss Tilling designed a diaphragm with a small calibrated hole which kept fuel in the chamber.
The Merlin has a supercharger, which means forced induction, and it ought to be obvious that any restriction of the throttle valve would be irrelevant to solving the initial problem. What is a pressure carburettor ? I presume you are talking about the Bendix/Stromberg unit which was fitted later on, although this was superseded by the SU unit which used aneroid capsules to inject fuel into the the eye of the supercharger. | aerospace |

The goal of the project is to provide integrated access to existing NASA lidar data products, as well as on-demand processing capability, and enhanced QA/QC metrics to make these data more easily accessible and usable to a range of scientists. New web services will connect the NASA data archives at Goddard Space Flight Center (LVIS) and the National Snow and Ice Data Center (ICESat) to the OpenTopography portal and the data and processing capabilities available there. Integration of these distributed data archives via an easy to use web portal will enhance exposure of these data and significantly streamline user access.
Science Data Systems for Satellite and Airborne Lidar Data
The large volumes of data and derivative products produced by the forthcoming NASA DESDynI and ICESat-2 satellite missions will stretch the limits of the data management and processing capabilities of existing Earth science data systems. Access tools for DESDynI data will need to address the diverse requirements of the scientific community who will use these data to study deformation of the solid Earth and cryosphere and vegetation structure. They will also need to serve the application community’s requirements in equally diverse areas ranging from earthquakes and glacier surges to wildfires and deforestation. For these hazards applications there is a requirement for timely, easy access to higher level, low latency, products in common data formats via simple to navigate web-interfaces. Recent Cyberinfrastructure developments, when integrated into existing Earth science data systems, can provide a framework for distributed data access and enhanced processing capability. To develop this capability ahead of the DESDynI and ICESat-2 missions, we propose to implement a system that enhances access to existing lidar data sources hosted at the National Snow and Ice Data Center DAAC, Goddard Space Flight Center LVIS Data Center, UNAVCO, and the San Diego Supercomputing Center (SDSC). Satellite LiDAR data from ICEsat, high altitude airborne lidar data from LVIS, and low altitude airborne lidar from the UNAVCO and SDSC's extensive Earthscope catalog will be incorporated into the OpenTopography Portal. This system provides integrated access to high-resolution lidar point data and on-demand processing capability for user-specified topographic data products. New web services will connect the NASA data archives at GSFC/LVIS and NSIDC to the OpenTopography portal and the other datasets available there. Integration of these distributed data archives via an easy to use web portal will enhance exposure of these data and significantly streamline user access. | aerospace |

Lets say i dont tkae that route .Does anybody ever hire right out of the 100 hour program? Is there any other way to accumulate hours just as efficiently?
Also, how long does ATP actually take( if you were to do the 0-hero and to be an instructor and get around 600 hours)
It doesn’t matter whether you go the 40 or 100 hour route, your job prospects right out of the program will be roughly the same.
There are other routes that you can go, this includes ferrying airplanes, flying traffic watch, flying jumpers, etc. However, none of those jobs will get you the experience and knowledge that being an instructor will be. Instructing isn’t just about flight time, it involves continual learning that benefits a new pilot greatly.
ATP takes nine months to get you from 0 to roughly 250 hours. The rest depends on you and how hard you work. Most CFIs fly about 80 hours per month.
What if I complete atp and they don’t offer my instructor job at my location?
If you’re preferred location is not available, then you will be assigned a
location that needs you the most. If you’re location becomes available, you
can put in a transfer request. This is how the airlines operate when
assigning pilots to bases. If relocating is an issue then you can put in
applications at flight schools nearest you.
Then you have the option of working at another location or declining the job offer all together. | aerospace |

Aevum, Inc., a provider of comprehensive space logistics and autonomous launch services for lightweight payloads, is rolling out its Ravn X Autonomous Launch Vehicle today, the world's largest Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS), by mass, designed to deliver satellites to space as fast as every 180 minutes. Aevum's customer and mission partner, The United States Space Force, will also take part in the Ravn X unveiling.
"Aevum is completely reimagining access to space. The current definition of rocket science doesn't work for us. With Aevum, everyone will be able to say, 'It is rocket science and I can do it.' Aevum is pushing logistics to the next generation with software and automation technologies," said Jay Skylus, founder and CEO of Aevum. "U.S. leadership has identified the critical need for extremely fast access to low Earth orbit. We're faster than anybody. To me, space is merely a va ntage point from which the next generation can commit global progress. Through our autonomous technologies, Aevum will shorten the lead time of launches from years to months, and when our customers demand it, minutes. This is necessary to improve lives on Earth. This is necessary to save lives."
"I'm excited to see the bold innovation and responsiveness in development today by our small launch industry partners to support emerging warfighter needs," said Lt. Col. Ryan Rose, Chief of the Space and Missile Systems Center's Small Launch and Targets Division at Kirtland Air Force Base in Albuquerque, New Mexico. "The U.S. Space Force is proactively partnering with industry to support U.S. space superiority objectives. Having a robust U.S. industry providing responsive launch capability is key to ensuring the U.S. Space Force can respond to future threats."
Aevum has developed what is being credited as an entirely new paradigm for space access: Autonomous Launch. Autonomous Launch, unlike ground launch or air launch, involves a global, fully-autonomous, self-flying, self-managing, self-operating intelligent system of systems, called the autonomous launch architecture, working in concert to deliver payloads from any terrestrial origin to any space destination in low Earth orbit. The autonomous launch architecture optimizes every launch, taking into account variables including weather conditions, air traffic, orbital destination, payload weight, ground crew schedules, and other complex logistics processes to provide an end-to-end seamless service, autonomously. Critical to the Autonomous Launch architecture is the autonomous launch vehicle (AuLV), which flies itself without a pilot and only requires a one-mile runway and an 8,000 sf hangar for operation. AuLV's use jet fuel and work exactly like an airplane.
With its fleet of autonomous Ravn X vehicles, Aevum will offer on-demand scheduling of precision orbital deliveries, as fast as every 180 minutes, 24/7, with no risk to human life. Ravn X is the only small launch vehicle that has been built from the ground up as reusable - 70% reusable out of the gate, it will be up to 95% reusable in the near future. After making its delivery to low Earth orbit, the UAS simply returns to Earth, autonomously landing safely on a runway and parking itself in the hangar.
The autonomous launch paradigm dramatically lowers the barrier for space access, in time, cost, and customer experience, and accelerates improvements in billion-dollar industries such as logistics, intelligence, defense, e-commerce, advanced analytics, climate change and weather monitoring, agriculture, IoT and more.
Already profitable and generating revenue, Aevum is on track for first launch with the U.S. Space Force and its ASLON-45 mission.
Relavent Ravn X Facts Include:
Ravn X is 80 ft long, has a 60 ft wingspan, is 18 ft tall and has a gross takeoff weight of 55,000 lbs.
Ravn X is the only small launch vehicle that has been designed and built from the ground up as reusable. 70% reusable out of the gate, it will be up to 95% reusable in the near future.
Virtually weather agnostic, Aevum offers 96% availability to space per year and minimal delays
Aevum doesn't need to build or maintain a launch site. Ravn X can launch from any 1-mile runway; the entire vehicle also uses the same jet fuel as an airplace, Jet A.
All of Aevum's products and technologies are 100% designed and built in the United States of America. | aerospace |

Space exploration has fascinated us since the launch of the first primitive rockets more than 3,000 years ago, and it continues to fascinate us today. The data gathered from such exploration has been hugely instrumental in furthering our understanding of our universe and our world. In Space Flight: History, Technology, and Operations, author Lance K. Erickson offers a comprehensive look at the history of space exploration, the technology that makes it possible, and the continued efforts that promise to carry us into the future. Space Flight goes through the history of space exploration, from the earliest sub-orbital and orbital missions to today's deep-space probes, to provide a close look at past and present projects, then turns its attention to programs being planned today and to the significance of future exploration.

Wiking Helikopter Service has taken delivery of another Airbus H145 helicopter in offshore configuration. This brings the company’s H145 fleet to a total of five aircraft, after initial deliveries of two helicopters in 2016 and 2017 and two leased H145s. It continues the successful story of Wiking in the offshore industry with the H145 being a quickly adaptable helicopter type for numerous missions.
The helicopters of Wiking are used to drop off harbor pilots, fly air rescue missions over the North Sea and transport service technicians to offshore wind farms. The H145 in offshore configuration will be equipped with an emergency flotation system certified for Sea State 6, a weather radar, and a hoist to bring passengers directly to their target destination where potential landing by helicopter or boat would not be possible.
The H145 can be equipped with seating for up to eight passengers in compliance with international offshore regulations. The combination of compact external dimensions, a comparatively small rotor diameter, the largest interior in its class and maximum power-to-weight ratio make the H145 ideal for offshore operations. The Helionix cockpit with four-axis autopilot and auto-hover function are further advantages for such demanding missions, as the pilot work-load can be reduced and a maximum level of safety can be reached.
Airbus Bank has arranged financing for this helicopter. Airbus Bank is a 100 percent affiliate of Airbus and is active in the aviation finance market. Airbus Bank teams up with partners, in this case LHI Group, to provide customized financing solutions for operators of Airbus Helicopters’ products. | aerospace |

BY Alan Perlman14 February 2017
Correction: The Guinness Book of World Records has confirmed that Intel still holds the world record for the most drones in flight simultaneously. Although Ehang reportedly flew 1,000 drones at the same time, they did not officially win a world record. This post has been corrected accordingly.
Last week we wrote about Lady Gaga’s impressive Super Bowl performance, in which 300 drones created a light show to provide the backdrop for her performance, and later morphed from the Intel to the Pepsi logo.
Before that performance Intel had already set two Guinness world records with their drone swarms, first with a light show of 100 drones, then more recently, in November of 2016, with a swarm of 500 drones.
But both of those records were just blown out of the water by Chinese-based drone manufacturer Ehang. And it appears they might to have done so not because they want to go head-to-head with Intel in creating drone swarms, but to use the attention as leverage for announcing the launch of their taxi drones in Dubai this summer.
In a fifteen-minute long light show featuring a swarm of 1,000 quadcopter drones, eHang flew a drone swarm light show that numbered double—double—the number of drones. Check out the video below to see the show.
About the Record-Breaking Light Show
The Ehang quadcopter used to create the light show is called the Ghost Drone 2.0. During the light show they formed the Chinese character “福,” which means blessings; a map of China; and both the numbers 1,000 and 2017. The show took place to mark the end of the Lunar New Year.
The end of the Chinese new year, which takes place on the 15th day of the first lunar month (in 2017 this falls on February 11 on the Gregorian calendar), is typically celebrated with a lantern festival. This year, the southern city of Guangzhou decided to use drones in place of lanterns.
The drones took off from the square by Guangzhou Tower, operated by remote control. They flew as high as 120 meters during the show while the Yellow River Piano Concerto, which first premiered during Mao Zedong’s reign, played over loudspeakers.
You can watch the video to try and recreate the experience, but we can only imagine how marvelous the live show must have been, with all its pageantry, while 1,000 drones created various shapes in light in the night sky.
Given the timing of the show, right on the heels of Lady Gaga’s performance at the Super Bowl, it seems reasonable to assume that Ehang wanted to ride on the buzz about drone swarms and achieve their world record at a time when it would give them the most attention across the globe.
After all, what a coincidence it would be if Ehang didn’t know about Lady Gaga’s performance before planning their record-breaking one.
Ehang and the Quadcopter Taxi
Ehang made major waves last year with an impressive announcement that they had developed a quadcopter drone called the 184 that was big enough to carry a person.
The 184 was first presented at CES last year. It’s a 440-pound quadcopter with an enclosed seating area for human passengers.
As reported at the time, the 184 can carry a person up to 10 miles, or up to 23 minutes, at speeds around 60 miles per hour, according to Ehang cofounder and chief marketing officer Derrick Xiong. And just like a small drone, it’s capable of flying at heights of up to 2.15 miles, though drone regulation would likely keep it at just several hundred feet.
But at $200,000-$300,000 each, the 184 seems pretty cost-prohibitive. Add to that the regulatory hurdles that will surely accompany any attempts to actually fly the 184 at all (let alone operate it commercially), and it might quickly seem like more of a neat idea than something that will actually be shaping the future of transportation.
Here’s a video of a flight test for the 184:
Just a few months back ago, in December, Ehang announced that it had already completed around 200 test flights in China, and that they were hard at work on a fully operational flight command center.
So What Does Ehang Make?
Drones, of course. But should we see this flight of 1,000 drones as a pivot for Ehang, or something else?
From an outside perspective, it seems like Ehang created this 1,000 drone swarm in order to get themselves into the drone lime light, and not to try and edge Intel out of the race to be the top drone swarm manufacturer—at least not outside of China.
One reason we say this is that there isn’t much information out there about the 1,000 drone swarm, even though it apparently happened three days ago. If Ehang wanted to leverage their record-breaking drone swarm performance to pivot into a new sector of the drone industry, they would have issued press releases and media—images and videos and more—about this new “swarm” application for their Ghost Drone 2.0 (as they have done in the past for the 184).
But they didn’t do anything like that. Instead, the story was broken by Russia Today, and news has slowly filtered through to us in the U.S. and elsewhere.
Nationalism could be one more reason for the motivation to break Intel’s world record. It’s no secret that the Chinese government backs many private companies in ways that wouldn’t be permitted in the U.S., and simply one-upping U.S.-based Intel, especially right after they had a big, public success at the Super Bowl, could be motivation enough to put together the swarm of 1,000 drones and break Intel’s record.
A telling aspect of this story is that, if you visit Ehang’s website right now, there is no mention of the world record anywhere in sight, not even on the Ghost Drone 2.0 page. Compare this to Intel’s drone-focused webpage, where their Shooting Star drone and related information on drone swarms are one of the very first things you see.
But the fact is that just yesterday, two days after breaking a world record with their drone swarm, Ehang announced that they would be launching their 184 taxi drone for actual use in Dubai in a matter of months, making it clear where their primary focus lies.
In such a loud space as the drone industry you have to do something to stand out, and it appears that attempting to break a world record might be Ehang’s ingenious way to have done this.
We can only wonder, what drone-related record will be broken next, and toward what end? | aerospace |

- The maiden flight of the first Pe-8 prototype was in December 1936. With a wingspan of 39 m and length of 23 m the giant aircraft had a speed of up to 405 km/h. Carrying 2 000 kg of bomb-load, the bomber could repulse attacks of enemy fighters by cannons and machine-gun fire. On the night of August 8, 1941, Pe-8 squadrons bombed Berlin for the first time. In the battle of Kursk the bombers were successfully used to bomb the Germany Army. Pe-8s were used for bombardments of Koenigsberg fortifications. The Pe-8 was the most perfect Soviet long-distance bomber. Only 93 aircraft were produced. | aerospace |

Loss of Control-Collision with Terrain
Ryan Aeronautical Navion B C-FTRM
20 November 2005
The pilot of the privately owned Ryan Aeronautical Navion B aircraft (registration C-FTRM, serial number NAV-4-2340B) departed Burlington, Ontario, under visual meteorological conditions, for a breakfast fly-in at Brantford, Ontario. An en route stop was made in Guelph, Ontario, to pick up a passenger. At approximately 1230 eastern standard time, the pilot and passenger boarded the aircraft and taxied for a departure from Brantford. The aircraft departed Runway 23 at the intersection of Taxiway Bravo and climbed on the runway heading. During the climb, the engine failed, and the aircraft stalled and entered a spin. A single mayday call was heard on the Brantford Unicom frequency. The aircraft struck the ground in a nose down attitude, with the right wing striking first. The aircraft cartwheeled and came to rest 94 feet from the initial impact point. The occupants were fatally injured. There was no post-impact fire.
Ce rapport est également disponible en français.
Other Factual Information
Aviation routine weather reports (METARs) are not available for Brantford. The nearest reporting station is in Hamilton, 18 nautical miles east of Brantford. The Hamilton weather at 1200 eastern standard time1 was reported as follows: winds 240º True (T) at 11 knots, visibility 15 statute miles, sky clear, temperature 9ºC. Similar conditions were present at Brantford. Weather was not a factor in the accident.
The occurrence Navion, manufactured in 1951, was a four-seat, low-wing aircraft with retractable landing gear and a clear, bubble-shaped canopy. It was equipped with a two-bladed, hydraulically operated, controllable-pitch propeller (Hartzell HC-12V20-8C) connected to the engine via a reduction gearbox. According to the journey log, the aircraft was not flown between 05 October 1984 and 03 June 2002 because it was being refurbished. The occurrence pilot purchased the aircraft on 20 December 2003.
The aircraft was equipped with a certified emergency locater transmitter (ELT), which did not activate during the occurrence. The three-position (ON, OFF, and ARM) ELT switch was found in the OFF position at the occurrence site. When the switch was turned to the ON position, the ELT operated normally. Due to the location of the accident, the lack of an ELT signal did not affect search and rescue operations.
In June 2004, the aircraft was involved in a propeller ground strike incident in which the propeller blades were substantially damaged. The propeller assembly was removed and sent to an overhaul facility for repair. The propeller ground strike incident was not recorded as an abnormal occurrence in either the aircraft journey log or the technical logs. Also, there was no record of the propeller removal or who may have removed it. There was no record that the reduction gearbox was removed to inspect the crankshaft for eccentricity or that the aircraft was inspected to determine its airworthiness. This is not in accordance with Section 605.88 of the Canadian Aviation Regulations (CARs), which states the following:
605.88(1) No person shall conduct a take-off in an aircraft that has been subjected to any abnormal occurrence unless the aircraft has been inspected for damage in accordance with Appendix G of the Aircraft Equipment and Maintenance Standards.2
The overhaul of the propeller was completed on 29 September 2004. Entries in the aircraft journey log indicate that it was installed on the occurrence aircraft on 29 November 2004. The journey log also indicates that the aircraft was flown five times before 29 November 2004 without a certified maintenance release. The installation was completed by someone other than the individual who signed the logbook entry. It could not be determined who had completed the installation. Conducting a flight in an aircraft that does not have a certified maintenance release is not in accordance with Section 605.85 of the CARs, which states the following:
605.85 (1) Subject to subsections (2) and (3), no person shall conduct a take-off in an aircraft, or permit a take-off to be conducted in an aircraft that is in the legal custody and control of the person, where that aircraft has undergone maintenance, unless the maintenance has been certified by the signing of a maintenance release pursuant to section 571.10.
Since 1978, there have been 35 documented occurrences related to the fuel selector valve on various models of the Navion. The valve has a history of internal leakage, which causes air ingestion. On 23 August 2005, Navion issued Service Bulletin 101A, regarding the replacement of the existing fuel selector valve.
As part of the TSB investigation, the fuel selector from the accident aircraft was removed from the wreckage and sent to the manufacturer for testing. On initial inspection, the valve showed evidence of previous repair; however, there are no known approved repair procedures. The valve was configured with three inlet ports: one for the main tank and one for each tip tank. The valve was tested, and it was discovered to have internal leakage from the right tip tank port to the main fuel port. Although the fuel selector valve failed during testing, it was determined that it did not contribute to the engine failure.
Transport Canada provides guidance to aircraft owners and operators regarding compliance with voluntary service bulletins in Airworthiness Notice B055, Edition 1-4. The purpose of this notice is to clarify the need to comply with manufacturers' service bulletins. In part, this notice states the following:
Except where otherwise specified in Std 625, Appendix C, compliance with publications dealing with these topics is optional. However, aircraft owners have a duty to be aware of the contents of these publications, and to evaluate the need for compliance in light of their own circumstances. Commercial operators should have a formalized process for conducting this evaluation, as part of the evaluation program required by CAR 706.
There was no indication of compliance with Navion Service Bulletin 101A on the occurrence aircraft, and there is no reasonable way in which it could be interpreted as requiring mandatory compliance under the CARs.
The Lycoming GO-435-C2 engine was manufactured in 1950 and installed in C-FTRM in 1955. It had accumulated approximately 2690 hours since installation and had undergone three subsequent overhauls, the last in 1997. Approximately 101 hours had been accumulated on the engine since the last overhaul.
When the aircraft struck the ground, the engine sustained substantial damage due to impact forces. The propeller shaft was sheared off forward of the reduction gearbox. The propeller spinner was severely crushed and hydro-formed over the propeller hub, indicating a steep impact angle. The damage to the propeller blades was consistent with an engine producing little or no power at impact. The engine was torn from its mounts and was attached to the airframe by only various wires and hoses.
The engine was disassembled in the TSB regional wreckage examination facility. During disassembly, it was discovered that the crankshaft had fractured, resulting in substantial rotational damage to the interior of the crankcase. Examination of the crankshaft fracture surface revealed signs of fatigue failure. There was no reference to any abnormalities or deficiencies to the crankshaft during any of the overhauls.
Parts of the crankshaft, together with the disassembled components of the engine-to-propeller reduction gearbox, were sent to the TSB Engineering Laboratory to determine the cause of failure. Because the aircraft suffered a propeller strike in June 2004 (70 hours before the accident), all components of the gearbox were disassembled, ultrasonically cleaned, and examined with a binocular microscope. No indication of sudden stoppage, in the form of cracked or broken gear teeth, or unusual gear tooth surface markings, was found.
The fractured crankshaft and parts of the engine-to-propeller reduction gearbox assembly are shown in Photo 1. The location of the failure, as shown in Photo 1 by the small arrow, was at the forward fillet radius of the number six connecting rod journal (see Photo 2 - Close-up of fractured crankshaft). The location of the failure, as shown in Photo 1 by the small arrow, was at the forward fillet radius of the number six connecting rod journal (see Photo 2 - Close-up of fractured crankshaft).
A crack on the crankshaft initiated on the surface of the forward fillet radius to the number six connecting rod journal. Examination of the crankshaft revealed crack progression markings that confirmed the fracture as a progressive fatigue failure. The fatigue crack progressed across 95 per cent of the cross section of the crankshaft, before its fracture. The final fracture occurred as the weakened shaft was unable to sustain the applied loads. The transition from the fatigue crack to the fracture appeared continuous, indicating that the failure occurred while the engine was being run under normal operations.
A section of the fracture surface, including the crack origin area and a portion of the fillet radius, was removed for scanning electron microscope (SEM) examination. This examination did not reveal any overload, such as a propeller strike, before or after the initiation of the fatigue crack. Close inspection of the origin area with the SEM showed regions of corrosion pitting, which may have been where the fatigue crack originated.
The material of the crankshaft was a low alloy steel containing manganese, chromium and nickel alloying additions. The general structure of the crankshaft showed hardness consistent with the required quenched and tempered heat treatment process, performed during the manufacture of the crankshaft. However, the forward fillet radius to the number six connecting rod journal and the journal surface showed an absence of case hardening at the origin of the fatigue crack. The equivalent location on the aft fillet radius and the forward radius 180º from the fatigue crack origin showed acceptable case hardened layers. The number five connecting rod journal also showed the presence of normal case hardened surface layers. There is no indication in the engine logbooks of any reworking of the crankshaft. It is possible that the absence of the case hardening at the fatigue crack origin dates from the time of manufacture and installation in the engine. This may have contributed to a faster crack growth rate than would normally be the case for a properly manufactured crankshaft.
The aircraft was equipped with a Garmin 295 global positioning system (GPS). Although extensively damaged during the accident, the GPS memory was successfully downloaded at the TSB Engineering Laboratory. Information regarding the occurrence take off was retrieved from the GPS (see Appendix B - GPS Overlay of Brantford Airport). The data indicated that the aircraft climbed at a rate of 850 feet per minute (fpm) until reaching an altitude of 450 feet above ground level (agl). The groundspeed decreased from 72 mph to 48 mph and the track of the aircraft increased from 222º T to 273º T before any loss of altitude. The rate of descent was initially 1300 fpm and increased to 3000 fpm before impact.
According to the Navion operating manual, the stall speed with the gear and flaps retracted is 71 mph indicated airspeed (IAS) for the approximate weight of the occurrence aircraft at take-off. The stall characteristics of the Navion are described as smooth; the aircraft will pitch straight forward with no tendency to roll or yaw. With the gear and flaps retracted in a power-off stall, a slight tail buffet is noticed preceding the break. This aircraft was not equipped or manufactured with a stall warning device. The emergency procedures for an engine failure during take-off, which are pertinent to this occurrence, are outlined in the Navion operating manual as follows:
- Depress the nose so the airspeed does not fall below landing speed. Keep the indicated airspeed well above stalling speed.
- Land straight ahead, changing directions only enough to avoid obstructions.
The pilot obtained a private pilot licence in January 1974. He had accumulated approximately 880 hours of total flight time, including 105 hours on the Navion. He flew regularly and was current on the aircraft. To meet recency requirements, the pilot attended Transport Canada safety seminars in February 2003 and October 2004. The seminars covered pilot decision making and pilot and aircraft documents respectively. According to Section 401.05 of the CARs, if a pilot has flown as pilot-in-command at least once in the previous five years and has completed an acceptable recurrent training program within the past 24 months, such as the Transport Canada safety seminars, the recency requirements have been met. There was no record of any further training or check rides subsequent to his initial training for his private pilot licence, nor was any required. He was certified and qualified for the flight in accordance with existing regulations.
To fly as pilot-in-command in the United States, a pilot must have had a flight review within the last 24 months. This flight review consists of a minimum of one hour of flight training and one hour of ground training, and it includes a review of the manoeuvres and procedures that are necessary for the pilot to safely exercise the privileges of the pilot certificate.
Without regular reinforcement, skills degrade over time following learning. The amount of degradation is related to the level of proficiency achieved at the completion of learning, the length of time since the skills were learned, and the degree to which the skills are rehearsed following the training.3 In essence, skills can be most effectively maintained when they are well mastered during training, refreshed during regular retraining, and rehearsed regularly between retraining sessions.
This cycle of retraining is most critical for procedural tasks with a number of discrete steps (for example, response to an engine failure), since these types of tasks have been shown to degrade the most over time. Conversely, continuous tasks, which are more automatic and for which cues are provided by the environment, show minimal degradation over time (for example, manually flying an aircraft on a visual approach).
As indicated in the factual section of the report, the faulty fuel selector valve did not contribute to the engine failure. There was no indication of sudden stoppage in the engine-to-propeller reduction gearbox; therefore, the prior propeller strike was not a factor in the failure of the crankshaft. The analysis will focus on the factors directly related to the occurrence: the fatigue failure of the crankshaft, and the ensuing stall and spin that followed the power loss.
The crankshaft failed as a result of a fatigue crack that developed on the forward fillet radius of the number six connecting rod journal. The crack most likely originated in an area where there was corrosion pitting. The fatigue crack developed at an undetermined time during the lifecycle of the engine and was not discovered on any of the three overhauls that were recorded in the aircraft logbooks. The crack appeared to have spread under normal operating conditions until the crankshaft could not support the required operating loads. The absence of a case-hardened layer on the fillet radius in the region of the fatigue crack initiation also contributed to the failure. The deficiency in the material heat treatment condition is believed to have been the result of a manufacturing error. Fatigue failure of the engine crankshaft resulted in a complete loss of power.
Maintaining proficiency and adequate flying skills can be a challenge, particularly for general aviation pilots who fly relatively infrequently. The pilot was current, and had adequate experience; therefore, it could be expected that he would have had no problem flying the aircraft during normal operations. However, depending on training, experience and personal characteristics, a pilot may become incapable of performing the required procedures during an emergency. The more training a pilot has on emergency procedures, the better the performance. A paramount distraction, such as an engine failure, can cause the pilot to focus on the immediate emergency instead of on flying the aircraft.
There is no indication that the pilot's flying abilities had been assessed by a qualified person since his initial licensing in 1974. Although this pilot's flying activity exceeded the minimum requirements of Subsection 401.05(1) of the CARs, it is unlikely that critical flight skills and procedures were practised to ensure proficiency. The current recency requirements in Canada allow pilots to go for extended periods without any retraining in critical flight skills, creating the risk that pilots will not be prepared to deal with unusual or critical flight situations when they arise.
It could not be ascertained whether the pilot made an attempt to return to the airport for landing, or if he was sufficiently distracted with the engine failure to lose control of the aircraft. Regardless, he did not follow the emergency procedures for engine failure after take-off, and as a result, the airspeed decreased below a safe flying speed, and the aircraft stalled and entered a spin from which there was insufficient altitude to recover.
The following Engineering Laboratory reports were completed:
- LP 139/2005-Crankshaft Failure Analysis
- LP 131/2005-GPS Analysis
These reports are available upon request from the Transportation Safety Board of Canada.
Findings as to Causes and Contributing Factors
- A fatigue crack developed in the engine crankshaft as a result of corrosion pitting and the absence of a case-hardened layer on the fillet radius of the number six connecting rod journal. The fatigue failure of this section of the engine crankshaft resulted in a complete loss of power.
- Control of the aircraft was not maintained during the power loss event, and consequently the airspeed decreased below a safe flying speed. The aircraft stalled and entered a spin from which there was insufficient altitude to recover.
Findings as to Risk
- The propeller ground strike incident was not recorded in either the aircraft journey log or the technical logs, and there is no indication that the aircraft was inspected afterwards to determine its airworthiness.
- After the overhauled propeller was installed, the aircraft was flown five times before receiving a certified maintenance release. Until such a release is obtained, there is an increased risk that the aircraft may not be airworthy.
- Transport Canada recency requirements allow pilots to fly for extended periods of time without retraining in critical flight skills. The gradual erosion of these skills reduces a pilot's preparedness to react appropriately during emergency situations.
- The fuel selector valve revealed internal leakage during testing. Although not a factor in this occurrence, continued use of a component for which the manufacturer has recommended replacement poses a risk to the safe operation of the aircraft.
Currently, the recency requirements in Canada allow pilots engaged in recreational flying to continue to exercise the privileges of a licence without having to regularly demonstrate proficiency to another qualified person. Therefore, a pilot may continue flying for years without reinforcing, through practice, those skills considered essential for the initial issuance of a licence (for example, dealing with an engine failure or landing in a crosswind).
In this occurrence, the pilot's flying activity and attendance at the Transport Canada safety seminars exceeded the minimum requirements of sections 401.05 and 421.05 of the CARs. However, it is unlikely that critical flight skills and emergency procedures were practised since his initial licensing in 1974. The absence of pilot recency is also listed as a finding in TSB report A05O0147.
The Board is concerned that there is no requirement for a private pilot to participate in periodic recurrent flight training, such as a biennial flight review. This presents the risk that pilots will not be prepared to deal with unusual or critical flight situations when they arise.
This report concludes the Transportation Safety Board's investigation into this occurrence. Consequently, the Board authorized the release of this report on 27 September 2006.
Standard 625 Appendix G
(13) Propeller and Rotor Strikes
Engines and transmission systems which have been shockloaded as a result of the propeller or rotor striking the ground or some object while the engine is running shall be inspected in accordance with the following paragraphs:
- A preliminary inspection shall be made of the blade itself and, if possible, of the object which was struck to aid in estimating the level of shock which can have been transmitted. It is not expected that an accurate assessment be made, but rather that the inspector shall form a general impression of whether the impact was severe or mild. If the level of impact is in doubt, it shall be assumed that a severe shock has been transmitted.
- The need for further investigation will depend upon the results of the preliminary examination, and on the AME's assessment of the probability of further damage, based on the nature of the incident. If further investigation is indicated, the propeller shaft or flange shall be checked for eccentricity (run out check). Limits are those specified by the manufacturer. If the propeller shaft or flange is out of limits, an internal inspection shall be required. In the case of a geared piston engine this shall entail removal of the reduction gear for a check of the crankshaft run out.

France is one of only three countries in the world where members of the public can experience zero gravity during a flight without going into space (the others are the US and Russia). The company that offers the flights, Air Zero G, is part of Novespace, a subsidiary of France’s National Centre of Spatial Studies that uses an Airbus A310 for scientific research during parabolic flights.
Being an astronaut for a day does not come cheap. Tickets cost €6,000. But, even though the sensation does not last long, Mr Diard said it was worth every cent: “I grew up with the space programmes in the seventies and eighties and I was always attracted by the life of an astronaut.
“By 2015 it was clear I would never go into space, so this was the next best thing. The week before the flight I was anxious but once on board the plane I had absolute confidence in the team.
“It is difficult to describe the sensation, but it was amazing. It was like floating in water without being in anything, a great sense of liberty. Everybody was laughing and smiling and there was a feeling of sheer joy. I was also conscious of the technical side and the enormous ability of man to achieve this possibility.”
Novespace’s chairman Jean-François Clervoy, a veteran of three space shuttle flights, wants to get the public interested in space and share some of its magic with them. Air Zero G now offers five weightless flights a year and the 40 available places on each trip are quickly filled.
Mr Clervoy says he has experienced zero gravity 3,000 times during parabolic trips but each time carries the same sense of excitement: “Everyone discovers weightlessness to be the same strange and unforgettable sensation of lightness of being, the total absence of weight. The temptation to play is irresistible. It seizes the imagination. It is so alien to the experience of life on our planet that parabolic flight can easily lead you to believe that you have become an extraterrestrial.”
Passengers experience a total of five minutes of weightlessness during the flight, which achieves the effect by flying in a parabolic manoeuvre. After reaching a speed of 810kph the plane starts climbing until it reaches a 47° angle, during which time the passenger feels 1.8 times their normal weight. At 28,000ft, the plane dives down for 22 seconds, during which time the passengers can float freely in a special area of the plane.
The first parabola is ‘Martian’ followed by two ‘lunar’ ones – neither of which achieve total zero gravity – before performing 12 full zero-gravity parabolas.
Gilles Gompertz from Avico, the airline broker that markets the trips, says their passengers are of all ages and not all are super rich.
He said: “Above all, they are people who have dreamt of experiencing space in some way since they were children. They are of all ages from 18 [the minimum age] and the oldest so far was 77.
“About half come from outside France, mostly from Europe, but we have had people from as far away as Brazil. It seems expensive but for some people saving up for a once-in-a-lifetime experience is more important than spending money on material things. We even have clients who come back for a second experience, they find it so amazing.”
He says that only 10% of those who take the trip experience sickness: “We advise people to take classic travel sickness medication before the flight and very few feel ill during the trip.”
At the time of writing, spaces were still available on two upcoming zero-gravity flights that have already been scheduled for 2016.
The first flight will take off from Nice on May 27, and the second on June 16 from Bordeaux. Another two are being planned but have to fit in with Novespace’s scientific programme, which has not yet been finalised. | aerospace |

The Right Stuff details the incredible story of America’s very first astronauts, the Mercury Seven, in its premiere on Disney+ today, Friday, October 9.
In 1959, a newly formed agency NASA was put up to the impossible task of catching up to the Soviet Union in the space race. By 1957, the Soviet Union had already launched the first artificial satellite into space, so NASA launched their search for America’s very first astronauts in an attempt to put the first manned aircraft into space.
Engineers estimated that getting the first man into space would take 10 years, but NASA was given just two years to complete the task. Project Mercury was set up to recruit these astronauts, and out of 508 of the top military pilots, just seven emerged to become the Mercury Seven.
In this new series, you’ll hear about a time when America thought our glory days were | aerospace |
