I flew Virgin Atlantic from London to New York to see if Richard Branson’s airline is still one of the world’s best — here’s t...
Virgin Atlantic is the crown jewel of Virgin Group founder Sir Richard Branson's aviation portfolio. Even though 80% of the airline's shares are owned by Air France-KLM and Delta, it's still quintessentially Sir Richard.
US airlines have dropped all references to Taiwan being a country, after demands from Beijing that the White House called "Orwellian." But the aviation authority said the change is "incomplete" and it may consider taking action against the carriers.
Delta’s website suffered a glitch that wouldn’t let some people buy tickets, and passengers are not happy
The official website of Delta Air Lines experienced a technical issue that wouldn't let some passengers buy tickets. On Twitter, customers complained that the website would not let them complete their purchase or enter credit-card information.
Airplane seats are smaller than ever, but the CEOs of Delta and American vow they won’t shrink anymore
American Airlines CEO Doug Parker and Delta Air Lines CEO Ed Bastian pledged that the seats in their planes will not get any less roomy than they already are in an interview with the Wall Street Journal.
First class flying usually includes entertainment systems and gourmet meals. In addition to these services, many first-class passengers get designer amenity kits and luxurious bedding — which they sometimes keep. See some of the most expensive products you get in first class
Airlines warned fuel prices were a growing threat, but it just became clear how terrible the situation has become
Delta Air Lines reported second-quarter 2018 profits of $1.025 billion on $11.775 billion in revenue. Even with record high revenues, the airline's profits fell by $161 million because of the extra $654 million it had to spend of fuel.
Delta Air Lines beat on both the top and bottom lines, but its third-quarter and full-year earnings guidance missed Wall Street estimates as rising fuel costs weighed.
Delta Air Lines unveiled renovated seats in its Boeing 777 aircraft. All three sections of the plane will be updated, with wider seats in the main cabin and a new 3-3-3 configuration.
Mysterious airline fees are costing passengers hundreds of dollars and no one knows what they go to pay for
Major US airlines such as American, Delta, and United are charging passengers hundreds of dollars in "carrier-imposed fees" on international flights. However, airlines won't tell us what these fees or surcharges pay for.
We have the 2018 customer experience rankings for 11 domestic airlines. Jetblue Airways came in first yet again while Spirit Airlines finished in last. Allegiant Air and Delta Air Lines all made strides. | aerospace |

Among those honored include Stephanie Wilson, Joan Higginbotham, Ed Dwight Jr., José Hernández, and John Herrington.
“It's an honor and a privilege to name these asteroids in recognition of fellow space explorers while also adding to the message of the power and value of diversity for all human endeavors," said Marc W. Buie, an astronomer who discovered the 27 asteroids in the last couple of decades.
Wilson and Higginbotham were both selected in 1996 for NASA’s Astronaut Group 16 and made “significant contributions to space exploration.”
Dwight became the first Black astronaut trainee in 1961 after serving as a test pilot in the Air Force.
Hernández traveled to the International Space Station in 2009, before his trip in space he helped develop the first full-field digital mammography imaging system. He spent his childhood working in the fields in California with his family.
Herrington completed three spacewalks while on a mission to the ISS. He is a member of the Chickasaw Nation.
All 27 asteroids are located in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter, and previously had provisional names with the time of their discovery.
The full list was released by the Minor Planet Center, an organization affiliated with the International Astronomical Union. They handle the “identification, designation and orbit computation for minor planets and other objects,” according to a release from NASA. | aerospace |

Soon Microsoft Flight Simulator users will be able to fly helicopters for free.
Today Microsoft and a relevant third-party developer had interesting news to share about Microsoft Flight Simulator and its add-ons.
We start with a new video directly from Microsoft, part of the Feature Discovery Series.
This time around, we get to see one of the helicopters that will be launched (alongside Gliders) for free with the 40th Anniversary Edition and Sim Update 11, the Guimbal Cabri G2.
We get to see how the Cabri was recreated in the simulator, in terms of visuals, sounds, and systems.
The developers explain how the real helicopter was 3D scanned while its sounds were accurately recorded. On top of that, several new features and technologies have been implemented to correctly simulate rotor aircraft flight.
Incidentally, the Guimbal Cabri G2 isn’t the only helicopter coming with the 40th Anniversary Edition, as we’re also getting the more well-known and complex Bell-407.
The edition will launch for the convenient price of $0 for all who have the base simulator on Nov. 11.
We also hear from Gaya Simulations, which will soon release an update to its Vienna Airport (LOWW) featuring its new custom ground service vehicles.
While it will be after Sim Update 11 on Nov. 11, the comparison between the new pushback tractor and the old version is certainly flattering.
Microsoft Flight Simulator is currently available for PC (Windows 10 and Steam), and Xbox Series X|S. If you want to read more about it, you can check out our review. | aerospace |

Build Your Own Stall-Warning Device The device shown in this article uses a microswitch and small tab to activate a warning horn about 5 knots before the stall. An adjustable mounting plate is used to attach the device to the leading edge and fine-tune the point where the warning horn sounds. How It Works. Tactile Warning. In addition to an audible reed/buzz/horn, most aircraft also provide tactile feedback to the pilot of an impending stall. In purely mechanical aircraft the aerodynamic forces on the control surfaces are transmitted through the mechanisms and are felt directly by the pilot when approaching a stall. May 04, · Some aircraft have multiple stall sensor vanes on the leading edge for just this reason. One vane is the stall warning circuit for zero or little flaps deployed, another vane is the stall warning circuit for full flap extension. IIRC, the Grumman Cougar is one example of a multiple stall warning vane locations aircraft. Keep it clean. The “lift detector” stall warning horn uses a tab that can be lifted during the preflight walk-around to sound the stall horn and requires an electrical system to operate.

Sometime in 2019 or 2020, India will send ISRO’s solar mission Aditya-L1 to a vantage point in space, known as the L1 Lagrange point, to do imaging and study of the sun.
FACTS FOR PRELIMS
Aditya – L1 is the first Indian mission to study the Sun .It will be inserted in a halo orbit around the L1, which is 1.5 million km from the Earth. The satellite carries additional six payloads with enhanced science scope and objectives.
i)Aditya-L1 is expected to be the very first to study from space two months from the time of launch, the magnetic field of the sun’s corona. (The corona is the outer layer that we see during total solar eclipses).
ii)It will be the first 100% Indian mission which will not only negotiate a challenging orbit but will also benefit the global scientific community in understanding the sun.
The Lagrangian points are positions in an orbital configuration of two large bodies where a small object affected only by gravity can maintain a stable position relative to the two large bodies.
I) A Satellite placed in the halo orbit around the Lagrangian point 1 (L1) of the Sun-Earth system has the major advantage of continuously viewing the Sun without any occultation/ eclipses.
ii)Due to a play of gravitational forces acting on it, the satellite will require little energy to keep it in place.

Hundreds of people were on-hand for the ribbon cutting and grand opening ceremony, including Pratt & Whitney President Robert Leduc, Connecticut Gov. Dannel P. Malloy, U.S. Congressman John B. Larson (1st District), and U.S. Congressman Joe Courtney (2nd District).
The new state-of-the-art building features 425,000ft2 of space and will accommodate up to 1,750 Pratt & Whitney employees. It was enabled through a collaboration with the State of Connecticut through the 2014 Connecticut Aerospace Reinvestment Act (CARA). The facility will serve as a global engineering headquarters for the design of Pratt & Whitney's PurePower commercial and F135 military aircraft engines.
"This new facility that we dedicate today becomes the nerve center of Pratt & Whitney's continued excellence and global leadership in the design of the finest commercial and military engines in the world," Leduc said. "We are attracting top engineering talent who will keep Pratt & Whitney on the leading edge of aviation technology for decades to come.”
The traditional ceremonial ribbon cutting was taken to new lengths, with the ribbon literally encircling the building, held by hundreds of Pratt & Whitney employees and their families, including Maureen LeClair and Robert Gilbert, who recently celebrated their 54th and 55th years with the company, respectively.
The Pratt & Whitney Engineering and Technology Center is being considered for LEED Gold Certification with the U.S. Green Building Council.
PurePower for Vietnam
Pratt & Whitney received PurePower Geared Turbofan (GTF) engine orders from Vietnam Airlines and VietJet Air at a ceremony attended by U.S. President Donald Trump during his visit to Hanoi for the APEC 2017. The GTF engines will power 20 A321neo Airbus aircraft. For Vietnam Airlines, the deal, valued at $1.5 billion at list prices, includes a 12-year EngineWise Fleet Management Program.
A further GTF engine order valued at $600 million at list prices will power 10 new VietJet aircraft. This deal also includes a 12-year EngineWise Fleet Management Program. The order follows a February 2016 contract signing for GTF engines to power 63 VietJet aircraft. | aerospace |

The state TV report Thursday did not say when the launch was conducted or what devices the carrier brought with it. It comes amid ongoing negotiations in Vienna over Iran's tattered nuclear deal. Previous launches have drawn rebukes from the United States.
Iranian state media has offered a list of upcoming planned satellite launches for the Islamic Republic’s civilian space program, which has been beset by a series of failed launches. Iran’s paramilitary Revolutionary Guard runs its own parallel program that successfully put a satellite into orbit last year.
Conducting a launch amid the Vienna talks fits the hardline posture struck by Tehran’s negotiators, who already described six previous rounds of diplomacy as a “draft,” exasperating Western nations. Germany’s new foreign minister has gone as far as to warn that “time is running out for us at this point.”
Satellite images seen by The Associated Press suggested a launch was imminent earlier this month.

The experiment aims to test in a Martian analogue atmosphere the Radar in order to have a set of reference measurement to be used to eliminate possible ambiguities in Mars data analysis. Moreover the campaign will provide valuable information on ice thickness, sub-ice lakes, layers discontinuity lithological and compositional changes, layer geometries, physical properties. At the moment a 10 days circumnavigation of the Artic pole is foreseen.
The experiment will be carried onboard a gondola that will provide the Scientific team with all the necessary subsystems and information available.
The gondola main subsystems are: the mechanical structure and the thermal control subsystem; the power subsystem, the data handling and management subsystem (together with the telemetry) and the housekeeping subsystem. Data transmission and power are the most demanding; the radar produces a huge amount of data that will be stored on board while, due to the low bit rate of data transmission possible, only housekeeping informations will be sent to ground; on the other hand power consumption is high and batteries have to be recharged.
Since radar and data have to be recovered a secure floating mechanism is under study for saving the system also in case of splashing in the north sea. In the meanwhile a ground support equipment is under designing both for engineering activities and for scientific analysis. | aerospace |

In short: SpaceX astronauts Doug Hurley and Robert Behnken will receive the Congressional Space Medal of Honor on Tuesday. Both are former NASA astronauts who flew on the space shuttle before the program ended. The awardees continued to work at SpaceX.
Congressional Space Medal of Honor civil award, not to be confused with the Medal of Honor for military members. It was presented in 1969 and awarded to Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin for being the first people to walk on the moon.
Traditionally, the medal is awarded to those who marked the first in space exploration. Congress also awarded this is posthumous to the crews of the Space Shuttle Challenger and Columbia. It was last awarded in 2006 when Robert L. Crippen piloted the shuttle’s first flight.
Thus, for the first time in 17 years, the White House will honor Hurley and Behnken as the first commercial space crew to arrive at the International Space Station, ending American astronauts forced to hitchhike on Russian ships. Their important mission was SpaceX Demo-2. It was originally scheduled for May 27, 2020, but the weather delayed it until May 30, 2020.
Demonstration-2 carried them to the ISS aboard the SpaceX Crew Dragon Endeavor spacecraft. Pair joined the crew of Expedition 63 of the ISS and stayed on board the station for about two months, conducting various scientific experiments. They also installed “a new European Mark 2 drawer rack in the space station’s Columbus module.”
Interestingly, the Demo-2 mission was a direct result of NASA’s commercial crew program. In 2014, SpaceX and Boeing received a joint multi-billion dollar grant from the space agency.
As we have seen, the development and deployment of SpaceX manned spacecraft was much faster and more efficient than the Boeing Starliner spacecraft that had not yet taken off from the ground. After Hurley and Behnken’s landmark flight, SpaceX has delivered five more crews to the ISS, including astronauts from Europe and Russia.
Despite being a civilian award, the Space Medal of Honor is permitted to be worn as a military decoration when appropriate. Because Hurley is a retired Marine Corps colonel and Behnken is a former Air Force colonel, they can add the badge to their uniform’s lapels.
Today, Vice President Kamala Harris will present the medals at the White House. | aerospace |

Santa’s sleigh lights will be visible early on Christmas morning at 06.49am for around six minutes.
The lights are visible to the naked eye and can be spotted across the UK.
For adults wondering how that is possible, the sleigh of Father Christmas is actually the International Space Station (ISS) passing overhead as it circles the earth.
NASA has outlined some dates and times where the ISS is visible and each sighting lasts for a few minutes at a time.
NASA states that the ISS (or the sleigh to little ones) “looks like a fast-moving plane only much higher and traveling thousands of miles an hour faster.
“It is the third brightest object in the sky and easy to spot if you know when to look up.”
To get the best experience, there are a few apps you can download to track the ISS.
How can I track Santa’s sleigh?
There are a few ways you can track the ISS this festive season.
NASA has a dedicated website that allows you to sign up for email alerts or text messages when the ISS is flying overhead.
But there are some apps available for phones that can help with tracking the sleigh too.
The ISS Spotter works on iPads and iPhones 4s or better and needs IO7+ to function. However, receiving 4.6 stars from 115 reviews this app is a popular choice to follow the ISS.
Another popular choice is ISS Live Now which provides a 24/7 video livestream from the International Space Station.
The app allows you to track the live movements of the ISS as it orbits the Earth, which is perfect to track the sleigh.
If you don't fancy getting up early to see the light, you can also track Santa's progress via NORAD'S Santa Tracker. | aerospace |

During two launches, Internet satellites of the Starlink system were delivered to low Earth orbit, and more than 100 spacecraft for various purposes were launched as part of the third flight.
On January 6, Falcon 9 lifted off from the Kennedy Space Center pad with 49 Starlink mini-satellites on board. SpaceX will deploy a constellation of devices at an operating altitude of 540 km above the Earth's surface. The peculiarity of the launch was the use not of the northeastern launch corridor along the coast of the United States and Canada, but of the southeastern one, which goes around the coast of the Bahamas.
Because of this kink, the company changed the number of satellites aboard the launch vehicle from 53 to 49. Also, the number of devices is probably due to the fact that Starlink v1.5 satellites are 10% heavier than Starlink v1.0 devices. The first stage made a successful landing on the offshore platform. For the launch vehicle, this launch was the fourth.
On January 13, the Falcon 9 was launched from the Space Force Base at Cape Canaveral with 105 satellites as part of the Transporter 3 mission. The launch vehicle delivered vehicles of 30 telecommunications companies from 20 countries into orbit. The cost of launching each satellite, the mass of which did not exceed 200 kg, amounted to $ 1 million. After completing the tasks, the first stage of the Falcon 9 landed in the landing zone of the cosmodrome. It was used for the tenth time.
Falcon 9 delivered another constellation of 49 Starlink internet satellites into orbit today. The launch took place on January 18 from the Kennedy Space Center. The first stage landed on the offshore platform after completing its mission.
At the moment, SpaceX has launched more than 2,000 Starlink satellites, and more than 1,800 Internet devices are in orbit. The company has permission from the US Federal Communications Commission to deploy 12,000 mini Starlink satellites.
On January 5, during the next round of funding, SpaceX managed to attract $337.4 million in investments. The April round brought the company $1.16 billion.
On December 19, SpaceX set a record by launching two Falcon 9s on the same day, spaced 15 hours and 17 minutes apart. The previous record was also held by SpaceX - 44 hours between launches. | aerospace |

Grounds Fleet for Mandatory Checks
By Air Marshal Ashok Goel (Retd)
New Delhi. The Indian Air Force (IAF) lost its second Mirage 2000 in 11 days, both in routine sorties and both twin-seat trainers.
Fortunately, in both the cases, the four pilots on board these two aircraft bailed out to safety.
IAF has grounded the Mirage fleet as part of the established procedure for checks, and ordered the mandatory Courts of Inquiry (CoI).
The first crash took place Feb 24 off Gwalior, and the second March 5 in Rajasthan where the aircraft had come from Gwalior for a bombing mission to the Mahajan range as part of training. In both the cases, engine problem was reported, after noticing which the pilots decided to eject to safety. They took care to steer the aircraft away from populated areas.
IAF acquired 40 aircraft initially, then 9 more, and then another batch of 10 a few years back to make up for the Maintenance Reserve and Strike Off Wastage (MRSOW) for its two Gwalior-based Squadrons, Number 1 (The Tigers) and Number 7 (The Battle Axes).
Of the total fleet of 59 aircraft, 10 have been lost to date due to pilot error (disorientation included) or technical trouble.
Overall, the Mirage 2000 fleet has had a good safety record and IAF recently signed an agreement with the aircraft makers, French Dassault and Thales, to upgrade them to Mirage 2000-5 standards and extend their lives by another 25 years. An agreement with European missile maker MBDA to equip the upgraded aircraft with MICA air-to-air missiles was also signed separately.
A total of 59 aircraft were acquired from the French Dassault, after India decided to go in for them following Pakistan’s acquisition of F 16s from the US in 1982.
Thirteen of these Mirage 2000s were two-seat versions for training, and three of these have been lost, lost, two of them in Feb-Mar 2012.
Notably, the agreement with Dassault and Thales includes upgradation of 51 aircraft, inclusive of 13 trainers, three of which have been lost over the years. Now the number of aircraft to be upgraded will be 39 single seaters and 10 trainers.
The costs would appropriately come down but the lower number should possibly prompt the IAF to acquire more of Rafale aircraft, which has already been selected for its Medium Multi Role Combat Aircraft (MMRCA) requirement. Negotiations between the Indian Ministry of Defence, its French counterpart an Dasault are on in this regard. The MMRCA tender, floated in 2007, had sought 126 aircraft with an option for 63 more.
As for the Mirage 2000, the capability and load carrying capacity of both the single-seat and twin-seat aircraft are basically the same. But to compensate for the second pilot in the twin-seat version, the fuel load and thereby the range, gets reduced slightly.
Both the Mirage 2000 and the upgraded Mirage 2000-5 version, are capable of executing nuclear strike missions. The upgraded version, with more powerful Snecma engines, would also be capable of heavier loads, meaning bigger missiles.
Meanwhile, what exactly went wrong with the two ill-fated aircraft this year would be established after the Courts of Inquiry have submitted their reports. The black box of the aircraft that crashed Feb 24 has already been recovered, and once the black box of the second trainer aircraft is also recovered – it was being searched for at the time of writing this article – both would be sent for forensic examination, possibly abroad. (The black box, actually red in colour, is an aircraft’s flight data recorder, which records electronically all the commands given to the aircraft’s systems and as well as any voices and conversations in the cockpit).
The aircraft that crashed Feb 24 was piloted by Air Marshal Anil Chopra, an experienced and distinguished Mirage 2000 pilot who is also the Commodore Commandant of the Number 1 Squadron. His co-pilot was Wing Commander Ram Kumar.
Senior officers do fly aircraft although as an unwritten rule, they do not themselves go over hostile territory for offensive sorties. That is the practice with most air forces worldwide.
The Mirage 2000 that crashed Mar 5 was piloted by Squadron Leader Raj and Flight Lieutenant Kanav. Thankfully, all the four pilots are safe.
It may be noted that it takes nearly five years to train a pilot to enable him to be on his own. So the pilots are very precious to the Indian Air Force as well as the country.
The training cost for a combat pilot, from the ab initio stage to practice flying and operational status, is roughly estimated at any thing from Rs 2 to 4 crores (from nearly $ half a million to a million approximately) during this period. | aerospace |

In the five decades since we first started sending spacecraft to Mars, exploration of the red planet has had a poor record of success. It is only in the last few years that we have come to expect that the number of successes greatly outweighs the failures.
This is why the decision to postpone the launch of ExoMars 2020 for two years should be regarded as responsible and sensible. Obviously, it is disappointing that this mission – a joint one between European Space Agency (ESA) and the Russian Space Agency Roscosmos – has been delayed. But the disappointment would have been so much greater if the launch had gone ahead and the spacecraft had added to Mars’ tally of debris by crash-landing at the landing site Oxia Planum.
ExoMars2020 is a combination of two systems: the Rosalind Franklin rover and a surface platform called Kazachok, which means “little Cossack”.
The rover will carry a suite of nine instruments designed to record and analyse the terrain over which it will travel as it searches for signs of life. Most importantly, it also carries an assembly that is capable of drilling more than two metres below the martian surface – a depth at which the material is protected from the fierce solar radiation that sterilises the surface. That means it may be able to encounter signs of past (or present) life.
Kazachok will carry 13 instruments that will record the environment at the landing site, including radiation levels and the local weather.
What went wrong?
Why was the decision to delay the launch taken – especially given that both Rosalind Franklin and Kazachok are already built? It seems that the answer is not a single fault, but a series of issues. To start with, there are problems with some of the electronics in the Russian descent and lander system that will transfer the rover and platform to Mars’ surface, as well as with the European flight software.
There is also a hardware concern about the solar panels on the rover. The rover was built in Stevenage, UK, and it is just six months since we celebrated its successful completion. It then travelled to Toulouse, France, where it underwent thermal and vacuum testing before transferring to Cannes, also in France, where it was to be integrated with Kazachok.
But two weeks ago, a fault was discovered with the glue that holds brackets on to the solar panels. This could be fixed – and would be fixed when the combined rover and surface platform moved to Turin in Italy for final testing prior to delivery to the launch site at Baikonur (a Russian enclave in Kazakhstan).
The issue with the glue is relatively trivial to fix compared with a much more major hitch that has been dogging the mission. It has been known for well over a year that there were problems with the opening sequence for the parachutes that would allow ExoMars2020 to land gently on the martian surface.
The problems came to light following a drop test of the parachutes: it wasn’t the parachutes themselves that were at issue, but the bags in which they were packed that led to the canopies becoming torn. A series of tests throughout 2019 showed that redesign of the bags and the parachute opening mechanism appeared to have solved the problem. Two more drop tests were planned for the end of March, after which it was hoped that the parachutes could be transferred from the US to Europe for integration into the ExoMars spacecraft.
Each of the hardware issues could be solved, as could problems with software – but in combination, there was too great a risk that the time remaining before the launch was too short to ensure full and thorough final testing. And then, on top of all this: the novel coronavirus.
Just look back at the list of countries that have contributed to the build of the spacecraft. The final staging place before moving to the launch site is Turin, in northern Italy, where illness from coronavirus has practically closed the country and brought movement across its borders to a halt. Engineers from the UK, France, Russia and the US (at the very least) will be needed alongside those in Italy for the final testing. Given restrictions on travel and movement of personnel, postponement of the launch became inevitable.
It is somewhat ironic that only last week NASA announced that the name of its rover, to be launched as part of the Mars 2020 mission, was to be “Perseverance”. It seems that for ESA and Roscosmos, perseverance is not enough – and it is even more ironic that a mission specifically designed to search for life on another planet has been brought low by a simple virus on Earth.

The Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer (RXTE) was launched on December 30, 1995 from NASA's Kennedy Space Center. The mission was managed and controlled by NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC) in Greenbelt, Maryland. RXTE features unprecedented time resolution in combination with moderate spectral resolution to explore the variability of X-ray sources. Time scales from microseconds to months are covered in an instantaneous spectral range from 2 to 250 keV. Originally designed for a required lifetime of two years with a goal of five, RXTE spectacularly passed that goal and completed 16 years of observations before being decommisioned on January 5, 2012.
The spacecraft was designed and built by the Applied Engineering and Technology Directorate at NASA Goddard Space Flight Center. The launch vehicle was a Delta II rocket that put RXTE into its intended low-earth circular orbit at an altitude of 580 km, corresponding to an orbital period of about 90 minutes, with an inclination of 23 degrees.
Operations were managed at Goddard Space Flight Center. The scientific planning and data processing take place at the RXTE Science Operations Center (SOC) comprising the:
InstrumentationThe mission carries two pointed instruments, the Proportional Counter Array (PCA) developed by GSFC to cover the lower part of the energy range, and the High Energy X-ray Timing Experiment (HEXTE) developed by UCSD covering the upper energy range. These instruments are equipped with collimators yielding a FWHM of one degree. In addition, RXTE carries an All-Sky Monitor (ASM) from MIT that scans about 80% of the sky every orbit, allowing monitoring at time scales of 90 minutes or longer. Data from PCA and ASM are processed on board by the Experiment Data System (EDS), also built by MIT.

Is it a plane?
NEC Corp. unveiled a prototype “flying car” quadcopter Monday after months of work on the design. The vehicle roared into the air for an unmanned hover test in the presence of journalists.
The aircraft resembles a drone used by hobbyists the world over. But that is where the similarity ends, as NEC’s four-rotor model is significantly heavier and requires industrial-strength technologies.
With a belief that such aerial vehicles will be a popular form of transportation, NEC aims to develop management systems for autonomous flying cars.
NEC will draw on its expertise in areas such as autonomous control, airport systems and data networks in developing this product and others like it, said Koji Okada, director of NEC’s national security solution department, adding the firm hopes to produce a management system for logistics use in 2023.
To put these technologies together and turn them into the management systems for flying cars, the firm needs flight data, he said. This prototype will produce such data.
The model measures 3.9 meters by 1.3 meters, and weighs 148 kilograms. In the demonstration Monday, at NEC’s Abiko branch in Chiba Prefecture, the vehicle hovered about 3 meters off the ground for a minute.
The point of the experiment was to see how such a heavy aircraft maintains its trim in flight, Okada said. It behaves quite differently from a smaller, commercial drone, he added.
NEC has been running experiments for several months, but the test Monday marked the prototype’s public unveiling.
While it may be hard to imagine a future in which the air is filled with personal copters, the government is serious about using airspace to ease traffic in busy cities and to bring transport to depopulated rural areas. In December, it drafted a road map for the development of flying cars, described as electric aircraft capable of vertical landing and autonomous flight.
The plan aims to introduce flying cars for logistics use in 2023. Personal transport would follow in the mid-2020s for use in rural areas and in the 2030s for urban areas.
The road map acknowledges the role of the private sector, and the fact that companies are beginning tests this year.
The sector is growing increasingly crowded, with dozens of companies reportedly developing aerial vehicles, including Airbus SE, Boeing Co. and Uber Technologies Inc.

As we look to potentially open parachutes at higher
speeds, we are trying different ways to
reduce the shock on the parachute and the
rocket. Today we tested a couple of simple
techniques to reef a parachute so that it
does not snap open.
The first technique used a reefing
ring threaded onto the shroud lines, and the
second technique simply put a few
twists in the shroud lines themselves.
The reefing experiments used the
material - flat sheet
parachute and shock cord
Weight of rocket
Length of shroud
Number of shroud
We used fluoro yellow
cord for the shroud lines and black for
the shock cord to make them easy to
distinguish to see how much the shroud
lines were separated.
Looking at the parachute in flight
In order to get a better sense of how the
reefing works in flight we decided to mount
a camera on the shock cord where it attaches
to the rocket. We wanted the camera to
follow the parachute from the time it
deployed to the time it fully inflated, and
then continue to follow it until landing.
Initially the parachute deploys sideways
and then swings to the back of the rocket
where it inflates, and then swings out to
the side again when it has reached terminal
velocity. Just mounting the camera
directly to the shock cord would have
introduced a lot of roll and would have been
hard to see anything. So we attached the
camera to a little Coriflute platform
suspended between a triangle made out of
another cord and attached at two points to
the rocket. This
eliminates the roll but still allows us to
mostly follow the parachute.
We also filmed the rocket from the ground
with zoom both in HD and slow motion to try to get a better idea
of the process from a
We arrived at our local park at 7:45am,
with beautiful blue skies and almost no
wind. We had the three boys with us, and now
being older they are a lot more help in
carrying gear and setting up. We had the
first rocket on the pad within 10 minutes of
arriving at the park.
The first flight was with the reefing
ring and the rocket was only filled to
100psi. The park is fairly small and so the
rocket can drift a long way if we pump up
the rocket too much. The flight went well
and the reefing ring appeared to also work well.
We had set the deploy delay to 3 seconds
which was right around apogee as we didn't
know what may happen and so we wanted to
give the parachute maximum amount of time to
We flew the same configuration again on
the next flight, and the parachute worked
well again. On the third flight we increased
the pressure to 110psi and set the deploy
delay to 4 seconds to get the parachute to
open a bit later while the rocket was coming
down. Again, the reefing ring appeared to
When we later looked at the on board and
ground videos you could see that the reefing
ring did stop the parachute from snapping
open and nicely ballooned out before fully
inflating. It was also evident that the ring
only made it half way down the shroud lines
on all three flights. This was enough for the
parachute to be almost fully inflated and
bring the rocket down safely. The ring
wasn't being caught on anything as one video
showed that as soon as rocket touch down the
ring slid down the rest of the way.
The ring's position on the shroud lines is determined by a
number of factors including the friction
between the ring and the lines and the
amount of force being exerted on the shroud
lines by the canopy
Twisting the lines
This was always going to be an
interesting one because you normally try to
stop tangles. The key assumption here was
that the parachute will want to unwind
itself when a force is applied to the shock
cord and shroud lines. Of course
aerodynamics could also want to twist the
parachute in the other direction and twist
up the shroud lines even more.
As a first test we only twisted the lines
5 full revolutions. This was perhaps less
than ideal for effectively reefing the
parachute but it was a toss up whether we
wanted to potentially crash the rocket or not. The flight
went well again and both ground and onboard
video showed that the twisted lines worked a
little bit to reef the parachute but not as effectively as the
reefing ring. The shroud lines did untwist
all the way so the shroud lines were fully
separated - which was good.
We repeated the experiment again with a
second flight, and again the parachute
deployed well and fully inflated. We suspect
that some of the twist in the shroud lines
was transferred to the shock cord on opening
and hence untwisted faster than expected.
As a control, the sixth flight of the day
was a normally packed parachute without any
reefing arrangement so we could compare the
other techniques to it. You could clearly
see that the parachuted snapped open quickly
and you could also hear the pop of the
parachute. Something you didn't really hear
with the two reefing methods.
Here is a highlights video from the day:
We packed up after the 6th flight as the
wind started picking up and was blowing
towards the road. We used the simple
wire trigger for the Servo Timer II on
all the flights as we were using lower
pressures and restricted nozzles. The
trigger worked really well on all the
flights. A good day all round and happy to
get all rockets back without damage.
Next we'll need to try to deploy the
parachute at higher speeds to see what
happens - both on the way up and on the way
When we were testing the reefing ring the
night before by swinging the parachute
around, we noticed that it did not work at
all if the parachute had a hole in it. The
reefing ring will only work if the entire
canopy is closed. | aerospace |

More than ever, the 120-meter-tall rocket is getting closer to its first orbital launch attempt.
A surprisingly successful test
It is the largest rocket ever assembled. It is also the most powerful. On takeoff, the launcher’s 33 Raptor engines will indeed produce up to 7,590 tons of thrust, more than any rocket in history, by far. This Monday, January 23, the Starship also probably became the heaviest rocket of all time.
As part of this wet dress rehearsal, SpaceX teams have indeed opened the floodgates, loading the ship and its booster with more than 4860 tons of liquid oxygen and methane in 90 minutes. When fully loaded, the combined weight of rocket and booster probably exceeded the 5000 tons. For comparison, the Saturn V and N-1 launchers weighed about 2,800 tons when fully loaded, Teslarati recalls. SpaceX was then able to empty its rocket and return propellant to ground storage tanks about four hours after the test began.
A priori, everything went without major problems, which is quite rare for a new vehicle.
This success contrasts with the old policy of SpaceX which, as early as 2018, had given priority to the speed of execution of its tests, which inevitably led to many failures. The engineers then learned from these failures to constantly improve their productions. The culmination of this strategy was the series of seven suborbital tests involving two short jumps of small prototypes and five attempts to launch and land advanced prototypes between August 2020 and May 2021. On the fifth attempt, and after four failures, the Starship had finally landed successfully and in one piece.
For the past few months, however, SpaceX has favored a different approach to risk management and systems engineering. The tests are now more cautious. The success of this general rehearsal is probably the result of this new strategy. Or SpaceX just got lucky.
Starship is FULLY fueled for the first time!

First orbital flight
Teams still have work to prepare the Starship and its booster for the launch vehicle’s first orbital launch attempt. The Super Heavy Booster has yet to perform one or more static shots additional. To this end, the ship will probably be disheveled to avoid any unnecessary risk. It will then be placed back above its booster once these next tests have been passed. In the meantime, the company will continue to work with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to finalize the rocket’s first orbital launch license.
This test could take place in a month or two. During this flight, the Starship will make a small tour in space and will then come to rest off Hawaii. The whole mission should last around 90 minutes. For now, there are no plans to collect the booster. | aerospace |

This plane had an amazing military career and brought many jobs to Lockheed Martin. Did you know anyone that flew in once of these or worked on them at Lockheed? We would love to hear about this from you – Share your opinions below!
MARIETTA, GA (AP) — The C-141 Starlifter transport plane designed and produced by Lockheed-Martin’s Marietta plant has been retired after a distinguished 43-year career. The cargo plane’s career included service in every military operation from Vietnam to Iraq.
It served as a massive air ambulance, a troop transport and as the plane that brought the first American prisoners of war out of Vietnam. For that duty it was dubbed the “Hanoi Taxi.”
From 1963 to 1968, a total of 285 C-141 planes were built at the Marietta plant. Of the surviving planes, 13 are now in museums, NASA owns one and 251 already have been retired.
In its most upgraded form, the C-141-B, the airplane could carry 200 troops, 155 paratroops, 14 aeromedical attendants and a maximum cargo of 68-thousnd, 725 pounds. It had its own oxygen lines for patients and could be used as a massive ambulance for wounded.
A C-141 Air Force Reserve transport plane, the last in service, was retired May 6th after landing near the National Museum of the United States Air Force at Wright-Patterson air base in Ohio. Some of the veterans and pilots wept when the engines were shut down. | aerospace |

Emblem of the 90th Operations Group
|Active||1942–1946; 1947–1948; 1951–1952; 1991–present|
|Branch||United States Air Force|
The 90th Operations Group (90 OG) is the operational component of the United States Air Force 90th Missile Wing. It is stationed at Francis E. Warren Air Force Base, Wyoming, and is assigned to the Air Force Global Strike Command (AFGSC) Twentieth Air Force.
The unit's World War II predecessor unit, the 90th Bombardment Group, operated primarily in the Southwest Pacific Theater as an B-24 Liberator heavy bomber unit assigned to Fifth Air Force. It was awarded two United States Distinguished Unit Citations and the Philippine Presidential Unit Citation for its combat service in China; Netherlands East Indies; New Guinea; the Bismarck Archipelago; the Western Pacific; Leyte, and Luzon.
The 90th OG has command and control of 15 Missile Alert Facilities and 150 LGM-30G Minuteman-III intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBM) in a 9,600-square-mile (25,000 km2) area covering three states. More than 1,500 missileers, pilots, maintainers, chefs and facility managers work together to accomplish the mission to provide safe, secure ICBMs, ready to immediately put bombs on target.
- For additional history and lineage, see 90th Missile Wing
Redesignated as a B-24 Liberator heavy bomb group in August 1942 and reassigned to Willow Run Airport, Michigan for conversion training on newly-manufactured Ford Liberators. Assigned to VII Bomber Command with B-24Ds, the unit was reassigned to the Honolulu modification center at Hickam Field, Hawaii in September where the aircraft were prepared for duty in the Pacific Theater of Operations (PTO). During the next two months the group trained on long overwater navigation training and other necessities for operating in the Pacific.
Arrived initially in Northern Queensland, Australia in November 1942 and began long-range strategic bombardment operations almost immediately on arrival. Attacked enemy airfields, troop concentrations, ground installations and shipping in New Guinea, the Bismarck Archipelago, Palau, and the southern Philippines. Received a Distinguished Unit Citation (DUC) for operations in Papua, July 1942 – January 1943, participated in the Battle of Bismarck Sea in March 1943, and earned another DUC for strikes through heavy flak and fighter opposition on enemy airfields at Wewak, New Guinea, in September 1943. During 1944, supported the New Guinea Campaign for first six months, then made long-range raids on oil refineries at Balikpapan, Borneo, in Sep and Oct.
From January 1945, supported ground forces on Luzon, attacked industries on Formosa, and bombed railways, airfields, and harbor facilities on the Asiatic mainland. After the war, flew reconnaissance missions over Japan and ferried Allied prisoners of war from Okinawa to Manila. Ceased operations by November 1945. Unit was demobilized in the Philippines; personnel returning to the United States via any available transport with B-24s being sent to reclamation in the Philippines.
Reactivated by Strategic Air Command in 1947, however not equipped or manned until 1951. During the early years of the Cold War, served as operational training unit for B-29 Superfortress aircrews and mechanics of the 376th, 308th, and 310th Bombardment Wings, in turn, 1951–1952; as replacement training unit for B-29 and RB-29 aircrews for Far East Air Forces (1951–1952) prior to the crews being assigned to combat duties during the Korean War. Inactivated June 1952 when operational squadrons assigned directly to parent wing.
Reactivated in September 1991 as the operational component of the 90th Missile Wing as part of the wing's conversion to the Objective Organization. Was assigned operational control of the 90th MW LGM-30G Minuteman III and LGM-118A Peacekeeper ICBM squadrons, responsible for maintaining and operating on alert the wing's assigned missiles, including training missile crew members. Began retiring Peacekeeper missiles in 2001; squadron inactivated in 2005. Maintains Minuteman III squadrons on nuclear alert.

The architecture is based on two stepper motors each matched with two resolvers on each axis, for a total of four resolvers. The ACU will also control two heaters for the motors, capture temperature readings at the motors and on the ACU board, drive a Hold Down and Release Mechanism (HDRM), and control the position of a waveguide switch.
T2 developed a prototype beacon module that will allow a test environment for a lunar positioning and navigation system algorithm development.
Commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) development kits and enclosures were developed with minimal modifications.
T2 Engineering experts developed a break out card (BOC) for the US Government to support the Nuclear Cross Check Analysis (NSCCA) and access the internal signals of the message processor drawer. Our engineers applied their electrical and systems engineering skills to save the government time and money by producing a quality design with a quick turn-around.
T2 Engineering played an integral role in testing the newly-developed Intercontinental Ballistic Missile (ICBM) Telemetry Integrated Processing System (ITIPS). ITIPS provides real-time status during test flights of the Minuteman III Intercontinental Ballistic Missile (ICBM) Telemetry, which provides the ground crew with crucial data on how the missile is behaving.
Hill Air Force Base currently uses the A-10 Warthog On-Aircraft Test System (OATS) to test weapon functionality and other aircraft systems in conjunction with software upgrades. OATS is typically used with a wingless A-10, but it can be used on any A-10. T2 Engineering contributed to the breakout box design, system design, system deployment support, 30MM cannon simulator, and custom tools used to verify wiring in the A-10. With our support, the Air Force completed OATS on time and within budget.
T2 Engineering played an integral role in upgrading the Ground Terrain Radar Replacement, Mission Control Computer, and systems documentation by providing critical code reviews and support in verifying functionality for the government customer. Our experience in embedded systems programming using a VxWorks operating system was heavily utilized and invaluable to this project.
Our T2 engineers worked on the replacement of the Electronic Fire Control Computer (EFCC) with the Commercial Fire Control Computer (CFCC). We were responsible for the migration of the Software Capability Upgrade (SCU) 7 to the new hardware and developed additional software to control the weapon-launching function and traffic utilization.
We also have a wealth of experience creating custom-made VB Macros. These have been shown to be extremely useful for taking long, laborious tasks that need to be done on a regular basis and simplifying them down to a few clicks of a mouse—saving you both time and money.

“The PIA management is forcing the engineers to release the aircraft without accomplishment of the prerequisites which are mandatory as per ICAO and PCAA regulations. The safety of passengers and the aircraft itself is being jeopardised. Inspections and components’ replacement issues are being waived off by PCAA Pakistan under pressure by the government officials,” claimed the Society of Aircraft Engineers of Pakistan.
A PIA engineer said this could lead to aviation issues and was also a serious crime. “We will take up the matter with ICAO and other regulatory bodies as it may seriously affect the aviation activities not only for PIA but for other local carriers in Pakistan,” he said.
The PIA engineer also pointed out towards an aircraft of the airline which flew without being properly checked for maintenance issues.
“Aircraft AP-BHX (PK741, ISB-JED) that took off from Islamabad last night was released under such circumstances. One passenger door — Emergency Slide / Raft — was due to be replaced ‘Time — Expired’ on Feb 6, which was not duly replaced and the aircraft was dispatched under un-airworthy conditions. All other aircraft were also dispatched under similar conditions. The due checks as per regulatory requirements were not carried out,” he said.
PIA employees and the federal government are at crossroads, after the former have protested severely against the latter’s move to privatise the national flag carrier. | aerospace |

Acting Director-General, NCAA, Benedict Adeyileka, said helicopters or rotary wing operators can only operate between 6.00 am and 7.00 pm in line with regulations by the Authority.
But helicopters operate at night in other countries of the world including the United States and United Kingdom (UK) under strict regulatory requirements.
He said in other countries they operate at night for intense oil and gas locations to move materials and men to the rigs.
But, safety and security considerations, as well as an enabling policy covering such operations, are part of the bottlenecks affecting plans to have helicopters fly at night in Nigeria.
Adeyileka said until the regulator completes survey and mapping of obstacles in the flight path, helicopters will not be permitted to operate 24 hours operation.
Adeyileka said although the NCAA realised the need to expand the scope of operations of rotary wing operators, yet it will carry out adequate policy and regulatory framework before granting such permit.
He said the NCAA has embarked on nationwide obstacle survey and mapping of the Nigerian airspace to identify telecommunications, radio and television masts and other high rise installations which would be identified and mapped to guide helicopter operations during the cover of night .
He said apart from reaching to owners of the masts posing as obstruction on the flight path, the authority has informed the owners of such masts to ensure they have red lights to give signals to helicopters’ in flight.
He explained that until all challenges associated with night operations are addressed by both the regulator and owners of such masts, 24 hour helicopter operations will not be approved by the authority.
Adeyileka said: “The NCAA will not just give approval for 24 hours helicopter operations, until all issues are resolved concerning the litany of telecommunication masts that litter the flight path .
“We will only approve night operations for helicopters after carrying out a comprehensive survey and mapping of all masts around the country. The essence of this is to give approval to the route that helicopters would fly without colliding into masts.
“Even some high rise installations, we need to identify where these obstacles are located; properly identify and map them, so that the helicopter operators will know the path to fly,” he said. | aerospace |

That is the conclusion of of a recently published paper that posits the recent decrease in solar activity has led to increased incidence of cosmic rays, which are dangerously radioactive. That may just put a damper on anyone interested in organizing manned exploration of the Red Planet.
The Sun and its solar wind are currently exhibiting extremely low densities and magnetic field strengths, representing states that have never been observed during the space age. The highly abnormal solar activity between cycles 23 and 24 has caused the longest solar minimum in over 80 years and continues into the unusually small solar maximum of cycle 24. As a result of the remarkably weak solar activity, we have also observed the highest fluxes of galactic cosmic rays in the space age, and relatively small solar energetic particle events. We use observations from the Cosmic Ray Telescope for the Effects of Radiation (CRaTER) on the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) to examine the implications of these highly unusual solar conditions for human space exploration. We show that while these conditions are not a show-stopper for long duration missions (e.g., to the Moon, an asteroid, or Mars), galactic cosmic ray radiation remains a significant and worsening factor that limits mission durations.Very interesting and at least for me counter intuitive. I would have thought: Less solar activity means less radiation. But it seems that the solar wind normally has the effect of reducing the amount of dangerous cosmic radiation that can reach the inner solar system. But to that, point, the article points out: While particles and radiation from the Sun are dangerous to astronauts, cosmic rays are even worse, so the effect of a solar calm is to make space even more radioactive than it already is. | aerospace |

The Webb telescope uses a gigantic gold-plated mirror to capture images of space that would previously have been too dark to develop. The 21-foot-tall flower-shaped mirror is comprised of 18 separate segments that can be individually adjusted. In May, one of these segments was struck by a micrometeoroid.
Micrometeoroids are fragments of asteroids that are usually smaller than a grain of sand, and of course the $10 million spacecraft was built in anticipation of their existence. Paul Geithner, technical deputy project manager at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center, explained. It was known Webb would have to survive the harsh environment of space, dealing with various kinds of pressure, radiation, and micrometeoroids. This isn’t the first time the Webb telescope has been struck, either. At least six micrometeoroids have impacted the satellite since its December launch, equal to roughly one impact per month, matching expectations.
This last impact was larger than expected. NASA was able to realign Webb’s segments to adjust for the micrometeoroid’s damage, but now engineers are faced with an important question. Was this impact rare, meaning it could happen once every few years, or is Webb “more susceptible to damage by micrometeoroids than pre-launch modeling predicted?”
If the size of the meteoroid was rare, then the satellite could be in flight for another 20 years, depending on fuel usage. If not, NASA could be faced with a much larger problem moving forward. We can only hope that the investigation proves helpful and that we can continue to witness the majesty of space for as long as possible. | aerospace |

|This article includes a list of references, related reading or external links, but its sources remain unclear because it lacks inline citations. (January 2013)|
|468th Bombardment Group|
|Branch||United States Army Air Forces|
|Part of||Second Air Force|
|Garrison/HQ||American Theater of World War II|
The 472d Bombardment Group is an inactive United States Air Force unit. It was last assigned to the Second Air Force, being stationed at Clovis Army Airfield, New Mexico. It was inactivated on 1 April 1944.
The group served as the initial Operational Training Unit (OTU) for prototype B-29 Superfortress aircraft as part of the 58th Bombardment Wing. After the wing deployed to India, it was involved in training B-29 crews in New Mexico and took part in early testing of the B-29 to carry the Atomic Bomb.
On 1 June 1943, the first Superfortress unit—the 58th Bombardment Wing (Very Heavy) had been activated at Dobbins AFB, Marietta, Georgia near Bell's Superfortress plant. On 15 September 1943, the headquarters of the 58th BW was moved to Smokey Hill AAF Kansas, with some of its groups near the Wichita factory. The 472nd Bombardment Group was constituted on 19 May 1943 at Smokey Hill AAF to be the initial group to receive the prototype YB-29 and first production B-29 Superfortresses. There were five groups in the 58th Bomb Wing, but the 472d was destined to remain at Smoky Hill Field as an operational training unit, and the others were to be deployed to India.
President Roosevelt wanted the B-29 bombing raids against Japan to start by January 1944. However, delays in the B-29 program forced General Arnold to admit to the President that the bombing campaign against Japan could not begin until May 1944 at the earliest. The crews of the B-29 needed a degree of specialist training that was not required for crews of other, less complex aircraft. It usually took 27 weeks to train a pilot, 15 to train a navigator, and 12 to train a gunner. The complexity of the B-29 was such that a lengthy process of crew integration had to take place before combat deployment could begin. By the end of December 1943, only 73 pilots had qualified for the B-29 and very few crews had been brought together as a complete team.
After the initial groups of the 58th Bomb Wing completed conversion training on the B-29, the 472d was moved to Clovis AAF, New Mexico in December 1943 to begin training follow-on B-29 crews. However the group also was involved in secret testing of the B-29 for suitability in carrying Atomic Bombs, which were being developed at Los Alamos, New Mexico.
In September 1943, the B-29 was selected as the carrier for the Atomic Bomb. At first, the team responsible for the adaptation of the B-29 to the atomic bomb would only be provided with rough dimensions of the bomb, since even the scientists were not yet sure what it would look like. The technicians fitted a new H-frame hoist, carrier assembly and release unit to the B-29. The first drop tests using dummy bombs were carried out at Muroc AAF, California on 28 February 1944. These lead to the fitting of an entirely new suspension mechanism to the B-29.
With these initial tests completed, and the B-29 crew training program well underway, the group was inactivated on 1 April 1944.

Live television footage showed the Boeing craft landing on its belly, with a few sparks flying as it hit the runway covered with flame retardant foam. There was no blaze but firefighters hosed the plane with water and foam as a precautionary measure.
Poland's President Bronislaw Komorowski said he would award state decorations to the crew of the plane after briefly talking to the pilot on the phone.
"To all those involved, I say thank you with all my heart," Komorowski told a news conference.
LOT said the hydraulic system responsible for operating the wing flaps and the landing gear failed, and backup system worked only for the flaps -- forcing the emergency landing.
Passengers were evacuated from the plane, which had circled for nearly an hour above Warsaw before landing. The airport was due to remain closed for other flights until Wednesday morning.
Poland was shocked by an air catastrophe in April 2010, when a government plane carrying president Lech Kaczynski and 95 others, mostly senior state officials, crashed while trying to land in thick fog in western Russia, killing all on board. | aerospace |

Artic Airlink operated the flight connection Luleå – Oulu – Tromsø until May 2018. The line could no longer be operated, as the flight operator NextJet declared bankrupcy May 16.
This was the end of one of the few direct connections in Artic Europe, linking the cities of Oulu (Finland), Luleå (Sweden) and Tromsø (Norway) without the need to transit via the countries capitals.
With this livery you can continue to link directly the Northern parts of western Europe, with the original aircraft, the SAAB 340, the ideal aircraft for those regions.

Drone delivery services was once thought to be a thing as farfetched as flying cars. This can’t be further from the truth on both levels. Flying cars have been in the making as early as 1999. They have been successfully tested throughout the world over, the last several years as well. Launch projections of flying car trials designed to promote regulation of flying cars, have been predicted to be as early as 2020 by Uber Air. Uber plans on making entire sky port buildings that will be similar to indoor parking lots and rooftop helicopter pads, but a hybrid of both in full operation by 2023.
The main questions are: will it be approved as easily and as smoothly as non-passenger autonomous delivery drones have?
How overburdensome is the tax consequences for infrastructure to the local citizens of the communities they are being built in?
Flying cars requires a new level of safety and regulation. An aviation 2.0 as they are calling it. In order to sustain the future demand, while keeping up with the ever evolving, fast pace autonomous and AI world, the FAA will need to push down a little on the break peddle of the aviation industry when it comes to flying cars. Safety is the FAA’s number one priority both to the public at large and to the private sector.
The FAA will require a safety inspection for every vehicle that plans on flying the National Air Space (NAS). Once done successfully, the FAA will need to certify the vehicles in order to fly in tightly controlled airspace selected.
“We’re the safety regulators; we’re going to come at this from a safety perspective,” said the acting administrator of the FAA, Dan Elwell.
Let’s focus on one dominating player in the field, Uber. Uber Air is looking to launch its Los Angeles and Dallas-Fort Worth by the end of 2023. But how does the FAA look at this expectation?
“Sounds neat. Just don’t expect it soon. “The pace of technological advancement in this industry is faster than anything we’ve had to deal with. When you put passengers on autonomous vehicles, as opposed to delivering a package, you introduce a much, much higher bar you need to get over.” (Dan Elwell)
In order to work with the FAA on these raised bars, Uber is planning on introducing a vehicle that is both pilot driven and partially autonomous. Which now imposes a new problem. There is already a shortage in pilots in our current aviation industry. Double down on that with newly demanded drone pilots, and you have a shortage of trained and qualified pilots that will over exceed the expectations of flight demand of almost double. Notwithstanding the cost of a pilot, cost of an entire building being built in order to create the infrastructure to house and or temporarily park these flying planes and the cost of these flying cars themselves, that would soon be out of service by obsoletion, with a fully autonomous vehicle, the moment the FAA clears them or the competition to do so. With Uber presenting only prototypes to the FAA, they have a long way to go.

Another thing to consider for approval, is the local government municipalities approval and the citizens that they govern, giving localized approval. Building an entire brick and mortar infrastructure that is a commercial or industrial building, will cost the citizens of that village or city a considerable tax burden in order to absorb any municipal an or state costs associated with the projects. Rezoning, annexing property, invoking eminent domain, paying exorbitant costs for land in prime locations for the development of these locations, all comes into consideration as well, aside from the R&D.
Uber has made it a point to make the industry see them as the forefront of this technology and infrastructure. Here are a few of the media PR videos that are helping them do just that.

Aside from Uber, there are other flying cars being made elsewhere in order to help further the cause and fuel a faster pace of approval for the flying car industry at large, in the on demand public transportation business.
Uber Competitors: What are the top flying cars that are on the radar besides Uber?
Aeromobile 3.0: Slovikian company.
Cora, a flying taxi backed by Google co-founder Larry Page. (Self-piloting taxi has been cleared for takeoff in New Zealand.
Here are some additional vehicles in the running:
Terrafugia TF-X: 4 Seat hybrid with wings, with no runway needed.
Ehang 184: Chinese made. Fully automated. No pilot’s license.
Pal-V personal flying car.
The Lilium Jet: Individual flying cars for your personal use and for public flying taxi use as well.
Volocopter: In partnership with Intel; flying taxi drone.
Airbus will also be providing on demand drones and Audi is working on an anti-gravity car model. Yes that is correct…I said anti-gravity! | aerospace |

Aitech’s S940 Digital I/O card design is based on a variety of discrete TTL, RS422 and opto-isolated. The S940 is designed with a PCI bridge implemented by an anti-fuse FPGA allowing a processor module like S950 to access the Digital I/Os from the cPCI bus.
The S940 provides 12 RS422 outputs and 4 RS422 inputs with state-machines implemented in the FPGA to operate the RS422 channels. The S940 interfaces with typical satellite guidance, navigation and control sensors such as Space Integrated GPS/INS (SIGI), torque rods, solar array drive electronics, separate switches, reaction wheels and payloads with UART interface. The control to these interfaces is accomplished by memory-mapped software registers designed into the FPGA.
In addition to providing solar array drive electronics current drivers, the three H-bridge circuitry can also be used as motor controllers for other applications. All the RS422 channels can be regrouped and tailored to specific needs by means of modifying the VHDL implementation inside the FPGA. | aerospace |

When a company purchases a drone package from Detailed Aerial Solutions, our experts provide all the necessary training and support to put the technology to work. Here, we’ll just focus on our process when a company hires us to measure stockpiles as a service.
- Before one of our pilots begins any stockpile job, we’ll do a preliminary airspace and weather check. This is to ensure that the flight(s) won’t enter into any controlled airspace that requires pre-approval from the FAA, and no weather hazards (such as high wind, low cloud cover, or storm conditions) will impede safe operation.
- Our pilot(s) will also carry out a pre-flight visual inspection of all work areas. The pilot will note any potential obstructions, and visually inspect stockpile areas to account for any topographical anomalies that could potentially affect accuracy of stockpile data.
- From there, a pre-flight inspection is carried out on the drone itself to ensure all flights will be carried out safely.
- Once pre-flight procedures are out of the way, the flight itself is fairly simple. Our pilot plans the automated flight over the stockpiles by drawing a simple grid on our satellite app, and sends the UAV on its way.
- The drone follows the flight path (in a grid pattern, much like a surveyor physically walks the site), taking a coordinated series of high-resolution photos as it goes. Once the path is complete, the drone returns “home,” landing in the same spot as takeoff.
- The pilot will then remove the SD memory card from the drone and plug it into a laptop to ensure photo quality while still on site.
- The images are then uploaded to our robust software application, which effectively builds a 3D map of the flight area, along with all of the stockpiles.
- One of our analysts then generates a report with accurate stockpile measurements, by creating a perimeter around each stockpile to be measured. This is where our pre-flight visual inspection comes into play; selecting perimeter points that are perfectly even with the base of the pile (not on a peripheral mound or depression unseen from the air, for example) is paramount.
- Our high-powered software accurately calculates stockpile volume cut (and/or fill) based on the high-resolution photos and 3D model.
All of this is typically completed within an hour or two, and the client is supplied with a full report within 24 hours.
Hopefully this gives you a better idea of how the process of measuring stockpiles through drone technology works. In Part 2 of this series, we’ll take a look at a few real world examples of how this technology is saving mining and aggregate companies time and money today.

After starting the first engine and engaging the main rotor, the flight crew obtained the weather report from the automated weather observation system (AWOS) located at CYMO.At approximately 0543, a search-and-rescue aircraft located the crash site approximately 1 nautical mile northeast of Runway 06, and deployed search-and-rescue technicians. Canada complies with this requirement by making all on-board recordings —including cockpit voice recorders (CVR)— privileged in the Canadian Transportation Accident Investigation and Safety Board Act.While the TSB may make use of any on-board recording in the interests of transportation safety, it is not permitted to knowingly communicate any portion of an on-board recording that is unrelated to the causes or contributing factors of an accident or to the identification of safety deficiencies.The flight crew proceeded to the Moosonee Airport (CYMO), Ontario, and had the helicopter readied, including fuelling, for the 1-hour-and-48-minute visual flight rules (VFR) flight to the Attawapiskat Airport.
Two paramedics were on board in addition to the captain and first officer.
The captain then advised the first officer that he had a flashlight in case he had any further difficulty locating a switch.

A team is investigating whether metal washers were installed on four bolts between Endeavour and its external fuel tank, NASA spokeswoman Lisa Malone said Friday.The washers may have been misplaced by technicians after Endeavour landed or may never have been installed at all, Malone said.
"Our paperwork shows that we had those bolts and washers there preflight," Malone said. "That's the concern - if the signatures and stamps showing the hardware was there and the evidence shows (the washers) didn't fly."
A metallurgy laboratory will test the bolts and an attached plate to determine if the washers were ever installed.
Even if they weren't, there was no danger to Endeavour or its seven astronauts during the 161/2-day astronomy mission, Malone said, adding, "It's more of a management problem."

A decade after B-1B Lancers thundered off the runway from their home station at Ellsworth AFB to strike targets in Libya in support of Operation Odyssey Dawn, the images from that day are just as vivid now as the day they happened for many who contributed to that mission.
In the midst of miserable winter weather and a large portion of the base and B-1s already deployed, Airmen teamed up to generate several aircraft loaded with munitions to strike targets halfway around the globe. It was the first time B-1s had launched from the continental United States to strike targets enroute in overseas contingency operations.
“I was on crew one for the mission as a young instructor pilot,” said Lt. Col. Thomas Taylor, now commander of the 34th Bomb Squadron. “I remember being called by squadron leadership to start working with the weather shop to look at the forecast for Ellsworth and the flight route. I was able to see some of the initial meetings in the CAT (Crisis Action Team) before I was cleared off to finish some last minute ground training items for the mission. When I came back to the squadron for the mission briefing, I was amazed at the colossal effort underway to prepare for the mission.”
He added that those few days were a rollercoaster of emotions. Not only because of the mission and conditions, but personal challenges as well.
“I remember the excitement of planning the mission and preparing for many unknowns of the flight,” he said. “I was excited to be selected for a crew, but it was challenging to pack my bags without telling my wife - who was eight months pregnant at the time - that I was going to fly a mission and I didn’t know when I was coming home.”
Master Sgt. Paul Block, a specialist section chief for the 28th Aircraft Maintenance Squadron, was one of the multitude of maintainers responsible for generating and “greening up” any and all available aircraft.
“I went home that Friday working mid-shifts, and we got the call that we were coming in and working 12-hour shifts over the weekend because we needed all of the aircraft for something,” Block said, adding that the sheer volume of work that needed to be done was staggering.
The event was a base-wide team effort. While the flight line was buzzing with a herculean maintenance effort and snow teams working around the clock to ensure the critical areas were clear and safe for operations, nearly every unit was busy handling tasks to ensure the base was able to successfully accomplish the mission in front of them.
Chet Weymouth, the chief of the 28th Force Support Squadron’s Installation Personnel Readiness section, was responsible for processing the deployment orders once the tasking flowed to the base.
“I briefed the crews on their deployment and NATO order status just after their mission briefing,” Weymouth said. “They were highly motivated and ready to go. I was so impressed with the way the base agencies came together quickly to ensure the aircraft took off and were successful in the overall mission.”
The work didn’t stop at the base gate. Maj. Kristof Lieber was a weather officer from the 15th Operational Weather Squadron at Scott AFB, Illinois. He was a shift duty officer in charge of forecasting weather for a 24-state region encompassing 128 Department of Defense sites that included Ellsworth.
“Ellsworth was having some of the worst weather in that region and required the focus of myself and the 30-person team that was working throughout the day,” Lieber said. “Interestingly enough, we were not read in on what was happening until after the strike occurred.”
Block recalled that the winter was especially cold that year and the weather forecast was not improving.
“Around the time of Odyssey Dawn we still had about 6 inches to a foot of snow in some of the grassy areas,” Block recalled. “There was more humidity in the air – the fog was heavy and the clouds were much lower. The morning of the launch the freezing fog cut visibility down to about 100 to 200 yards.”
In the pre-dawn hours of March 27, Taylor recalled the high energy on the flight line and flurry of activity when he and the aircrews arrived at the jets. The 28th Maintenance Group had been working non-stop through a snowstorm to prepare the aircraft and load munitions. The fog had rolled back in over the area, but they taxied to the end of the runway anyway.
“I remember holding short of the runway waiting for approval from the OG (28th Operations Group commander) to take off as visibility was below the minimum for B-1s. The OG approved the takeoffs as long as the aircrews were comfortable. We decided to continue,” Taylor said, adding it was the lowest visibility he had ever taken off in.
As Taylor and his crew taxied onto the runway, he said he could barely see 200 feet in front of the aircraft.
“I followed the taxi line to what appeared to be the center of the runway and ran up the engines. I couldn’t see the edge of the runway, just a slight glow from the runway edge lights that I used to keep the aircraft centered on the runway during takeoff. I have flown low level at night and in bad weather at 500 feet AGL (above ground level), but this take-off was more nerve-wracking knowing the jet had a full load of gas and 48,000 pounds of weapons onboard,” he said.
Block said the sights and sounds of those launches are something that will stick with him for the rest of his life.
“Night shift had just taxied the aircraft and turned them over to day shift,” he said. “I was just getting to my car and I heard the jets rumble as they started to take off. I watched the jets emerge briefly through the fog and then disappear again as they climbed. The backdrop of the fog was just spectacular. It is something I will never forget.”
There to capture it all was Marc Lane, then a staff sergeant assigned to the 28th Bomb Wing Public Affairs office. He and a handful of public affairs specialists shouldered the task of visually documenting every aspect of the operation.
“We took thousands of photos and had to quickly determine which ones best showcased the combat power of the 28th Bomb Wing while also preserving operational security,” said Lane, now a captain and surveillance controller assigned to the NATO Airborne Warning and Control System Operations Squadron 1, Geilenkirchen, Germany. “It was a fine balancing act.”
Among the thousands of images that Lane captured was an iconic image of a B-1 speeding down the runway amid dense fog and extreme weather conditions. But for him, the words Odyssey Dawn conjure another image.
“I always think about the amount of bombs that were prepared and loaded,” he said. “I think about seeing rows of 2,000-pound bombs getting prepared and loaded to be delivered around the world to hit vetted targets. The ability to strike specific targets demonstrates that intelligence and collateral damage mitigation is carefully analyzed for each strike, for each bomb.”
He remembered that while things seemed to be moving fast – munitions building, maintenance work, repairing ground equipment, aircraft engines firing to life – there was still incredible order and coordination to it all.
“Everyone moved together as though it was choreographed … as though we had done this mission a hundred times,” Lane said. “I think everyone also realized the gravity of the situation, the significance of their individual roles, and that they were making history.”
One of the many people supporting the bomb building was Thomas Brack, the 28th Munitions Squadron mobility and training section chief during Operation Odyssey Dawn. Then a master sergeant, he headed up the team responsible for transporting the tail kits for the joint direct attack munitions the B-1 crews would utilize during the strike.
“I keenly remember squadron leadership coming to my office several times to use SIPR (Secure Internet Protocol Router) before they directed everyone to split into two shifts,” Brack said. “All available personnel on day shift, myself included, were dispatched to the munitions storage area (MSA) to support building the weapons, and the ops tempo was impressive. I can’t recall any panic. Everyone executed their assigned tasks quickly, and we helped one another when needed.”
During the mission the two most capable B-1 bombers continued on to their targets after the first air refueling while the others returned to base, landing in what Taylor said were, “… the worst visibility conditions I have ever landed in. We flew the approach down to minimums, and visually acquired the runway just before our decision point to go around.”
While the specific targets of this historic mission were not disclosed immediately at the time, officials stated later that the objective was to destroy nearly 100 military targets that posed a direct threat either to the civilian population of Libya or to partner nation aircraft enforcing the no-fly zone. Ellsworth aircrews met that objective.
Lieber, now a B-1 pilot assigned to the 34th BS, remarked it has been a surreal experience transitioning from a weather officer to becoming a pilot and flying the bomber in the same squadron that years ago embarked on the historic operation he supported as a forecaster.
“At the time, the biggest lesson I learned was that you never know what you would be supporting when providing weather support to a base or agency,” he said. “And, I learned how capable the B-1 is.”
Lane said he learned to take training and readiness seriously.
“It is a basis for the profession of arms. OOD was a good example of why the Air Force maintains such high levels of training and preparedness. That preparedness allowed us to
respond kinetically to a tyrant who was oppressing his own people. With short notice, the 28th Bomb Wing proved its capability to respond to a crisis and strike,” he said.
Taylor noted that the operation was a testament to what a dedicated team working together can accomplish, and reaffirmed that Ellsworth can provide airpower – anytime, anywhere.
“I was thoroughly impressed with how quickly Team Ellsworth came together to make the mission happen despite the weather conditions and having very little experience with launching that many aircraft fully loaded for war on such a short timeline,” he said. “It was a reminder that we have to be prepared to go to war at a moment’s notice, and I think the wing is more prepared to answer that call in the future because of that event. I have no doubt that we are more prepared today to execute a similar mission on short notice.” | aerospace |

News first broke on CNN after a traffic recording on LiveATC revealed that the flight’s captain had become incapacitated after experiencing stomach pains.
“A credentialed Pilot from another airline, who was on board, entered the Flight Deck and assisted with radio communication while our Southwest Pilot flew the aircraft,” airline spokesperson Chris Perry told CNN.
A nurse who was on board stepped in to care for the pilot after.
“It’s standard procedure for our Flight Crews to request assistance from traveling medical personnel during in-flight medical events involving Customers; this situation just so happened to involve one of our Employees,” the airline said.
The flight was in the air for just about an hour before returning to Las Vegas. It didn’t take long for a new flight crew to be assigned to get the passengers on their way.
“We commend the crew for their professionalism and appreciate our customers’ patience and understanding regarding the situation,” said Perry.
The pilot’s name and the airlines he works for have yet to be released. Currently, there’s a pending investigation by the Federal Aviation Administration.

“We operate the safest transportation system in the world but we can all take some simple steps to keep ourselves and our loved ones even safer this holiday season,” said U.S. Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood.
“I’m asking every passenger to take just a few minutes to follow our safety tips and, most importantly, pay attention to your flight and cabin crew,” said Administrator Babbitt.
Travelers can make their flight even safer by following these guidelines:
- Pay attention to the flight attendant safety briefing at the beginning of your flight and read the safety briefing card.
- Buckle up. Keep yourself and your family safe by wearing a seat belt at all times while seated.
- Use an approved child safety seat or device if your child weighs less than 40 pounds.
- Prevent in-flight injuries by following your airline’s carry-on bag restrictions.
- When it’s time, turn off your personal electronic device (PED).
Passengers can find child safety information and the latest on airport status and delays at www.faa.gov/passengers. The site also contains videos on how to properly install a child safety seat or device on an airplane.
In December 2010, a group of aviation stakeholders, known as the Future of Aviation Advisory Committee (FAAC), delivered 23 recommendations to Secretary LaHood and Administrator Babbitt on workforce development, competition and viability, financing of aviation systems, environmental concerns, and safety. Based on some of those recommendations, the FAA is stepping up efforts to educate parents about the importance of using a child restraint for air travel. | aerospace |

The closer we get to the end of the year, the more frequent conversations become about how close the manufacturers are, to their targets. For the past few years, Airbus tended to have the upper hand. But last year, the European aircraft manufacturer ultimately missed its delivery target.
Aircraft orders aren’t a problem. An impressive regeneration of the aviation industry in India ensured that Airbus got plenty of aircraft orders in 2023. Airbus’ order total for the year currently sits at 1,399 aircraft, mostly thanks to orders from IndiGo and Air India.
The future evolution of India’s commercial aircraft fleet, and the possible effects of engine issues on it, definitely worry Airbus and its customers. But in the shorter term, Airbus’ numbers look more encouraging.
The European manufacturer managed to deliver 71 aircraft last month, raising its total so far in 2023 to 559 airliners. Its target for the year is 720. So to reach its goal Airbus needs to average 80 aircraft deliveries in each of the last two months.
Airbus Aircraft Production and Engine Worries
That may sound difficult. But in 2022, a year full of obstacles for Airbus, it still managed 166 deliveries in November and December. Historically, Airbus always registers more deliveries in the last couple of months of the year.
Airbus hopes that engine supply issues won’t cause it to readjust this aircraft delivery target at such a late stage. But as we have seen, these engine issues are already impacting many Airbus aircraft customers. This includes IndiGo in India, whose initial A320neo orders involved jets with Pratt & Whitney GTF engines.
Rework of existing aircraft engines and the diversion of parts for them is impacting new aircraft engine production, for Airbus. CFM LEAP engines (i.e. the other A320neo option) are also facing some issues, with time-on-wing intervals being much lower than desired. But these issues have less impact on new engine production than what Pratt & Whitney is facing, for the near future.
Elsewhere, Airbus is also hoping to boost the production rates of its widebodies, like the A350. The European manufacturer hopes to produce 10 A350s per month, by 2026. But the main bet for Airbus remains its goal for a monthly production rate of 75 A320neo-family aircraft, also by 2026. Staying short of this goal will keep waiting times high for new Airbus airliner orders – and push some customers towards Boeing. | aerospace |

REPORT.AZ/ China unveiled its first big passenger plane on Monday as it seeks to develop its aviation sector and challenge foreign industry giants, Report informs referring to the Russian media.
The narrow-body C919, which seats 168, is China’s answer to the Boeing 737 and the Airbus A320 — planes that together make up more than half of the aircraft in service.
It has been under production at a facility in commercial hub Shanghai for over a year under the guidance of Commercial Aircraft Corp. of China (COMAC).
For China, the plane represents years of efforts in a state-mandated drive to reduce dependence on European consortium Airbus and Boeing of the United States, and even compete against them.
“The roll out of the first C919 aircraft marks a significant milestone in the development of China’s first indigenous aircraft,” COMAC chairman Jin Zhuanglong told an audience of government and industry officials.
Presentation of COMAC was attended by about four thousand Chinese government officials and other guests.
The company already has orders for 517 of its C919s. | aerospace |

Arducopter is an easy to use multirotor / helicopter UAV. Arducopter runs on the ArduPilot/Pixhawk autopilot. With GPS, this APM/pixhawk is a complete UAV solution that sets it apart from traditional multirotor which often only support remote control. The Arducopter system features fully autonomous way-point based flight, with mission planning and real time telemetry via the powerful ground control station. The code is capable of controlling all of the major rotor wing airframes, including Traditional Helicopters, Tricopter(3/Y6), Quadrotor (X/+), Hexa(X/+), and Octa(X/+/V). All you need to do is change the firmware and some parameters on your ArduPilot Mega board.
Note that Arducopter software is fairly mature and has some great power features, but is considered to be at the end of its life, from a software viewpoint, future features are due to be on the Pixhawk only.
VRBRAIN autopilot system is a versatile UAV system based around the VRBRAIN multipurpose board loaded with a 32 bit version of Arducopter firmware and a ground station based on Mission Planner software. The autopilot controls the multicopter during flight using internal gyroscopes, accelerometers, and other electronic components. Flight missions are created using Mission Planner on your ground station and loaded onto the autopilot. Once the copter is placed in autonomous mode, the autopilot receives location data from the GPS module and executes the mission script. For safety, a radio control (RC) receiver is connected to the APM to allow for manual control using an RC transmitter.
APM, PX4 and Pixhawk are "open source" and "open hardware" and are supported by an international team of developers. Pixhawk and VRBrain development is ongoing and improvements and new capabilities are added very frequently.

BRISBANE Airport is currently in an international service renaissance fuelled by international growth and especially the recent Qantas announcement that it would base four of its new Boeing 787-9 Dreamliners out of the airport. Brisbane currently serves 28 international destinations but now has the opportunity to increase this even further thanks to Qantas. Where that will be, we are still to find out.
Brisbane Airport has also enjoyed annual international traffic growth of around 5% but it is worth noting that by replacing the current Qantas Boeing 747s with the smaller Boeing 787-9, there will be a 35% reduction in seats on those flights. | aerospace |

I intend to build a hexacopter and I am wondering if the drone building course is applicable enough to build the hexacopter vs the quadcopter shown?
Hi there Carl!
The drone building course was designed to be flexible for two types of people:
Those who wish to build the quadcopter from the parts list here: dojofordrones.com/raspberry-pi-drone
Those who wish to source their own parts for there own build.
The course walks you through the design/part sourcing process, so building a hexcopter should be no problem. Also, I imagine if you wanted to closely mirror the parts used in the course, you could simply buy two extra motors and props with a DJI hex frame F550 (instead of the F450 for quads).
I’d be happy to help wherever there may be differences for hex vs quad builds | aerospace |

Three people were killed today and dozens injured when an aircraft burst into flames before take-off on a runway at an airport in Russia's Far North, officials said.
The Tupolev plane with 116 passengers and eight crew on board had been due to fly from the city of Surgut in the Far North of Russia's Urals region to Moscow.
Reports said the plane completely burned in the accident, the latest deadly incident to hit the Russian aviation industry.
The region's emergencies ministry said three people had been killed, the ITAR-TASS news agency reported. The Interfax news agency quoted local prosecutors as saying that a child was among the three dead.
A spokesman for the emergencies ministry told ITAR-TASS that at least 46 people had also been injured.
The plane had started burning while taxiing on the runway at Surgut ahead of take-off, the investigative committee of prosecutors said in a statement.
"The emergency services were unable to put out the fire and there was an explosion. The passengers and members of the crew were evacuated before the explosion."
Russian news agencies named the airline as regional carrier Kogalymavia, also known as Kolavia.
The first images from the scene showed the wreckage of the plane slumped on the runway with a huge cloud of white smoke billowing from an engine.
Initial reports said that one of the plane's engines caught fire in the air and it made an emergency landing but subsequently officials said that the incident had taken place before take-off on the runway.
"There was a thick, black smoke and people started to panic. They were literally stepping on each other's heads," said Sergei Grigoriyev, a singer with popular Russian rock group Na-Na who were on the plane.
"I saw my life flash before me," he said according to ITAR-TASS.
The investigative committee said that a criminal probe had been opened into a possible violation of air transport security rules.
Transport Minister Igor Levitin said it was not clear what had caused the accident.
"The plane was taxiing on the runway and preparing for take-off," he said according to the Interfax news agency. "The specialists do not understand what sparked the fire."
Earlier this month, a plane with 169 people on board rolled off the runway at Moscow's Domodedovo airport on landing and broke into three pieces, killing two and injuring more than 80.
In September, a Russian Tupolev plane carrying 81 people made a "miracle" crash landing at a deserted air strip deep in the Siberian taiga after a complete mid-flight power failure. | aerospace |

ST Engineering’s Aerospace sector, being at the forefront of the Maintenance, Repair, and Overhaul (MRO) business, recognizes the tremendous potential that Additive Manufacturing (AM) holds for MRO. Leveraging AM improves supply chain resilience and decreases turn-around time, providing value to our customers and further strengthening ST Engineering’s position as an MRO leader. However, the lack of existing standards to guide the AM processes creates a challenge to establish and qualify the AM processes needed to make parts for certification and then installed on aircraft.
This project aims to develop and establish the process for Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) technology using flame-retardant PA2241FR material based on combined knowledge from both NUS and ST Engineering, focusing on demonstrating the reliability and consistency of the AM process through collaborative R&D approach, as the first in its kind in this region. In parallel with this collaboration with AM.NUS, ST Engineering launches its in-house project to certify a cabin interior part, manufactured through this qualified SLS process.
- ST Engineering is certified to design and produce selected parts by AM, having obtained the first EASA (European Union Aviation Safety Agency) STC (Supplemental Type Certificate) in the region.
- The SLS manufacturing process consists of end-to-end process definition using PA2241FR material and the EOS P396 printer has been qualified to make parts for aviation application.
- AM can be used to manufacture complex geometry aviation parts at lower weight and faster turn-around-time. This could improve supply chain resilience and also translates into fuel savings and lower emissions. | aerospace |

A US army spokesman informed Reuters that the army had briefly suspended a fleet of 400 Chinook helicopters because of the danger of repeated engine fires. In India, Chinook is taken into account a really profitable helicopter as a rescue operation. However this motion of America has raised a query mark on it.
Plane producer Boeing makes heavy-duty Chinook helicopters. Within the 12 months 2015, India has purchased 15 Chinook helicopters from America. It’s thought of a really profitable helicopter of the Indian Air Power. Be it mountains or plains, it’s used all over the place in main rescue operations. However after some incidents of fireside within the engine of Chinook for a while, America has taken a tricky stand in opposition to it.
On this, the Indian Air Power says that India has requested the corporate for particulars of those causes, on account of which the US Military has briefly banned all the fleet of Chinook helicopters. Nevertheless, no determination has been taken on Chinook in India but. It’s nonetheless operational.
US army spokesperson
Chinook helicopters are utilized in catastrophe reduction operations and medical emergencies. It’s utilized by worldwide protection forces together with Italy, South Korea and Canada. US Military spokeswoman Cynthia O Smith stated on the short-term halt within the army that the reason for the hearth within the engine of the Chinook helicopter has been ascertained. That is occurring on account of leakage in gasoline. Till this downside is solved, some steps are being taken.
Nevertheless, the US Military additionally says that the issue has been detected in time. Attributable to this, no lack of life or property has been reported to date. To date no assertion has been issued by the Boeing Firm on this.

By Lara Seligman
Over the past five years, the F-35 joint strike fighter has overcome massive cost overruns, schedule delays and a host of technical snags. The US Air Force, Navy and Marine Corps jets are now on track to meet key deadlines, and proponents of the program brag that costs have remained steady since 2010.
But as the Pentagon prepares for a new challenge — tripling production of the next-generation fighter jet — F-35 program leaders are bracing for an uphill climb.
Next year, F-35-maker Lockheed Martin will deliver 43 aircraft to the services. During the three years after that, the Pentagon will ramp up production to more than 120 aircraft each year, according to Lt. Gen. Chris Bogdan, head of the F-35 joint program office. The JPO is concerned the F-35 manufacturing base will not be able to keep up with such a drastic surge, he said.
“Acquisition rule of thumb says we probably, year-to-year, don’t want to do more than about 50 percent what you did the year before,” Bogdan said Wednesday at the ComDef conference in Washington. “If you do the math and you are going to triple in three years, you are not on a 50-percent-per-year slope.”
“That gives me some pause,” Bogdan said.
And it’s not just the US military that is buying more F-35s. This week, Italy flew its first jet; later this month, Norway will celebrate the rollout of its first aircraft.
It is only the beginning of the global ramp up: by the end of 2019, the JPO will have 493 operational jets around the globe, compared with just 126 today. In the next four years, the JPO will stand up 17 new operating locations, more than half of them abroad.
The burden is on the manufacturing base to keep up with this global demand, Bogdan said.
“So we have to create a global sustainment enterprise that can sustain an airplane no matter where it is, no matter which partner has, it no matter what [Foreign Military Sales] customer has it, in a way that’s effective for the warfighter,” he said.
The F-35 supply base may not be able to sustain that workload, Bogdan cautioned. As production spikes, maintainers must not only keep pace with everyday repairs, but also modify existing and future aircraft due to concurrent development and production.
While the Marine Corps earlier this summer declared initial operating capability with the latest Block 2B software, the final configuration, Block 3F, will not deliver until mid-2017. At that point, each aircraft must be upgraded to the latest software configuration to reach full capability.
And since the Pentagon decided to move to initial production before completing the test program, maintainers must install fixes to operational planes as problems crop up with the test fleet. Maintenance teams are busy installing these modifications to existing aircraft and jets coming off the ramp, for instance the engine fix that stemmed from a fire at Eglin Air Force Base, Florida, last summer.
“So when we have those 493 airplanes out in the field in 2019, guess how many will be in what I consider to be the right configuration? Not a one,” Bogdan said. “Every airplane coming off the line now and coming off in the next two and a half years, plus all the airplanes we’ve built already, will need some form of modification to get them up to the full capability that we promised the war fighter.”
Each aircraft confined to the depot for modification is one less plane the services can use to train pilots and maintainers, Bogdan emphasized. This is a particular problem for the Air Force, which must meet certain training requirements in order to declare IOC in 2016.
To address this gap, the JPO is sending field teams to do F-35A depot work at the bases, rather than bringing the jets to the depots, Bogdan said. This saves time on the front and back end of the process, allowing the maintenance teams to move the jets through modifications more quickly.
The Air Force also may be able to borrow Navy and Marine Corps planes, or even jets from partner nations, to complete some training, Bogdan said.
“The biggest constraint to the mod program right now other than money — because it costs an awful lot of money to do that — is can the service, can the partner afford to keep the airplane down that long without their pilots flying?” Bogdan said. “So we have to try to balance that.”
At the same time, the JPO still has work to do on the jet’s Autonomic Logistics Information System (ALIS), which manages maintenance and sustainment for the entire fighter fleet, Bogdan noted. ALIS “has not met its potential yet,” he said.
The F-35 program is no longer experiencing schedule delays or cost overruns, and has surmounted major technical issues with the engine, helmet, tail hook and more, Bogdan emphasized. But despite this progress, the JPO has a lot of work to do.
“From my perspective, the program is at a pivot point,” Bogdan said. “We used to be slow and steady — we are passed slow and steady now.”Back to Top | aerospace |

In this exhibit visitors are asked to control the movement of the helicopter, by managing both the main rotor on the helicopter’s roof, as well as the tail rotor, which determines the helicopters side movement.
The helicopter is an aircraft that is capable of flying upward. This is possible due to its blades that deflect air downward and create lift. To provide force, the helicopter has another set of rotating wings called the tail rotor. These are attached to a long boom and produces thrust just like an airplane’s propeller does. In order to actually steer the machine, both the main rotor and the tail rotor need to be well controlled by the pilot. | aerospace |

KUALA LUMPUR, MALAYSIA—A Malaysia Airlines flight heading to India with 166 people aboard made an emergency landing in Kuala Lumpur early Monday after it was forced to turn back when a tire burst upon takeoff, the airline said.
The airline said Flight 192 to Bangalore in southern India landed safely at Kuala Lumpur International Airport at 1:56 a.m. Monday, about four hours after it departed.
The airline initially said the right landing gear of the Boeing 737-800 “malfunctioned upon takeoff” but later added that the problem was caused by a burst tire.
“This was because one of the tires on the right-hand main landing gear burst during takeoff,” the airline said in its latest statement emailed to The Associated Press.
Malaysia Airlines said tire debris was found on the runway, prompting air traffic control to immediately order the pilot to turn back to the airport. Fire rescue services were also deployed to be on standby for the landing.
The airline said all 159 passengers and seven crew members have disembarked from the plane and no one was injured.
Stockholm-based Flightradar24, which tracks air traffic in real time on its website, showed the plane repeatedly circling the airport before making the emergency landing, presumably to burn off fuel and lighten the plane’s load before landing.
“They have landed safely — thank God!” acting Transport Minister and Defense Minister Hishammuddin Hussein tweeted.
The incident comes more than six weeks after a Malaysia Airlines Boeing 777 with 239 people on board disappeared March 8 on an overnight flight from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing. Searchers are still trying to locate the plane, which is believed to have crashed in the southern Indian Ocean.

The Russia-made S-300 missile system has been successfully tested by Iran. The Islamic Republic's military conducted launches of missiles on simulated enemy's targets.
Axar.az reports that, on Saturday, Iran successfully test-fired the S-300 surface-to-air missile systems supplied by Russia.
The video footage shows that the S-300 system targeted an air target.
When commenting on the test-launch, the commander of the Iranian Air Defense Force Brig. Gen. Farzad Esmaili said that "the S-300 missile smashed the ballistic missile," as quoted by local Tasnim news agency.
The system is capable of hitting even the smallest aerial objects as well as cruise missiles, making it lethal for any potential enemy, he added, noting that the S-300 will now ensure Iran's secure air defenses alongside Iran's short-range Mersad and long-range Talaash air defense systems.
Iranian experts conducted a number of tests of the Russian missile systems. The tests included all phases, namely, detection, identification, interception and target shooting.
The drills took place at the Khatam al-Anbia Air Defense Base, where Iran's Air Defense Force is headquartered.

The scientists will map ways to combat an asteroid attack, a cosmic sucker punch like the collision that killed the dinosaurs 65 million years ago and flattened a Siberian forest in 1908.
While the world's attention is focused on the real threat of terrorism, the theoretical asteroid menace has been garnering a surprising amount of behind-the-scenes attention.
Britain's Royal Astronomical Society hosted an international meeting of experts on the asteroid impact threat in December. In January the world's astronomers petitioned Australia's government to fund a special asteroid-detecting telescope. In February NASA announced the "Workshop on Scientific Requirements for Mitigation of Hazardous Comets and Asteroids," which will be conducted in Washington in September. In March, NASA activated "Sentry," a new system to monitor near-Earth objects (NEOs) and assess their threat to Earth.
NEOs are small objectsasteroids and certain cometsthat orbit in the solar system relatively close to Earth and could one day collide with Earth.
"We've had a couple of close shaves during the past few months," says Brian G. Marsden, with the Harvard
Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics in Cambridge, Massachusetts.
One asteroid caused public jitters when discovered March 12. Named 2002 EM7, it came from the direction of the sunan astronomical blind spot where objects are hidden in the sun's glare.
Astronomers didn't detect 2002 EM7 until four days after it came within 288,000 miles (460,000 kilometers) of Earth, which they regarded as a close encounter. [The moon is about 239,000 miles, or 385,000 kilometers, from the Earth.]

It was also the first bomber to have a performance that exceeded that of contemporary pursuit aircraft.
The immediate ancestor of the B-10 was the Martin Model 123, which was designed and built as a private venture by the Glenn L. Martin Company of Baltimore, Maryland. It was a midwing all-metal monoplane. The monocoque fuselage had corrugated top and bottom surfaces with a deep belly. The deep belly carried doors for an internal bomb bay, so the bombs could be carried internally rather than on external racks. The main landing gear retracted backwards into the rear of the engine nacelles, but the lower half of the wheels remained exposed. Four crew members were to be carried. Three of the crew members were seated in separate open cockpits on the top of the fuselage. The nose gunner/bombardier had a transparent aiming position in the lower nose, the pilot sat in an open cockpit abreast of the forward wing, and the rear gunner sat in an open position in the rear dorsal fuselage. The fourth crew member occupied a position inside the fuselage.
The Model 123 flew for the first time at Baltimore on February 16, 1932. It was powered by a pair of 600 hp Wright SR-1820-E Cyclone engines that were enclosed by NACA low-drag cowling rings. The wingspan was 62 feet 2 inches. The Model 123 was delivered to the Army on March 20, 1932. Trials began in July, 1932, during which a maximum speed of 197 mph was recorded at an altitude of 6000 feet. This was a truly spectacular performance for 1932. As a result of these trials, the open-cockpit gun position in the nose was replaced by a transparent, manually-rotated gun turret equipped with a single 0.30-inch machine gun. The pilot's cockpit and the dorsal gunner position remained open. At the same time, more powerful 675 hp R-1820-19 Cyclone engines were installed. These engines were also fitted with full cowlings that extended forward of the wings. A new longer-span wing was fitted, increasing the wingspan to 70 feet 7 inches. Despite an increase of nearly 2000 pounds in the gross weight to 12,230 pounds, the modified aircraft had a maximum speed of 207 mph at 6000 feet making it was faster than any US fighter then in service. On January 17, 1933, the Army ordered 48 production examples of the Martin design under the designation B-10.
The first 14 aircraft were designated YB-10. They were powered by 675 hp Wright R-1820-25 engines. They differed from the prototype primarily in having transparent sliding canopies fitted over both the pilot's cockpit and the rear gunner's position, a concession to the 200 mph-plus speeds that could be attained. The rear cockpit was modified to accommodate a radio operator in addition to the gunner. Armament consisted of a 0.30-inch Browning machine gun in the nose turret, a 0.30-inch gun in a flexible position in the dorsal position, plus a 0.30-inch machine gun in a tunnel position in the fuselage floor behind the bomb bay to guard against attacks from below. The internal bomb bay could carry two 1130-pound bombs or five 300-pound bombs. There were provisions for an external shackle under the right wing for a single 2000 pound bomb. The first YB-10 was delivered to Wright Field in November, 1933. Most of the YB-10s were based at March Field in California with the 7th Bomb Group until December, 1934, when it re-equipped with B-12s. The YB-10s then remained at March Field with the 19th Bomb Group. A turbocharged version of the YB-10 was designated the YB-10A but this proved too unreliable for service.
Production of the Martin bomber was continued by FY 1934 and 1935 Army procurements for a total of 103 examples of the B-10B, the primary service version. The B-10B could be distinguished from the YB-10 by the presence of air intakes on top the nacelle as well as by the relocation of the exhaust pipes from the lower nacelle to outlets at the nacelle top immediately behind the air intakes. It was otherwise quite similar to the service test YB-10. The first B-10B arrived at Wright Field in July 1935. Production deliveries to Langley Field began in December 1935 and were completed by August 1936. The B-10B served with the 2nd Bomb Group at Langley and the 9th at Mitchell Field. The B-10B served (along with YB-10s) with the 19th Bomb Group based at March Field in California. The B-10B also served with the 6th Bomb Group based in the Canal Zone, and was issued to the 28th Bomb Group based in the Philippines.
In January of 1931, the US Army was assigned the responsibility for coastal defense around the United States mainland. The B-10s remained in service with Army bombardment squadrons until the advent of the B-17 and B-18 in the late 1930s. The advances in bomber technology suddenly became so rapid that the B-10, revolutionary though it was, swiftly became obsolete as the 1930s progressed. By 1940, the B-10B was thoroughly out of date and had been largely relegated to secondary roles such as target towing. No US Army B-10Bs participated in any combat during World War 2.
Specification of Martin B-10B:
Two Wright R-1820-33 Cyclone air-cooled radial engines, rated at 775 hp for takeoff and 750 hp at 5400 feet. Maximum speed 213 mph at 10,000 feet, 196 mph at sea level. An altitude of 5000 feet could be attained in 3.4 minutes. Cruising speed 193 mph. Landing speed 65 mph. Service ceiling 14,200 feet. Normal range 590 miles, maximum range 1240 miles, ferry range 1830 miles. Weights: 9681 pounds empty, 14,600 pounds gross, 16,400 pounds maximum. Dimensions: wingspan 70 feet 6 inches, length 44 feet 9 inches, height 15 feet 5 inches, wing area 678 square feet. One 0.30-inch Browning machine gun in nose turret, one 0.30-inch Browning machine gun in flexible mount in dorsal gunner position, and one 0.30-inch Browning machine gun in a ventral tunnel position mounted in the floor of the fuselage behind the bomb bay. 2260 pounds of bombs could be carried.
The Martin B-12 was a production version of the B-10 that was powered by the Pratt & Whitney Hornet radial instead of the Wright Cyclone. It was common in those days to assign different USAAC model numbers to aircraft of a given type which differed from each other only in the type of engines which powered them. The first YB-12 appeared in February of 1934. Despite their new model number, they were otherwise quite similar to the YB-10. They could be externally distinguished from the B-10 version by the presence of oil cooler intakes on the port side of the engine nacelles. Internally, the B-12A had provision for an extra fuel tank in the bomb bay. This tank had a capacity of 265 US gallons, supplementing the 226 US gallons normal fuel capacity on long flights.
Specification of Martin B-12:
Two Pratt & Whitney R-1690-11 Hornet air-cooled radial engines, rated at 700 hp at 6500 feet. Maximum speed 212 mph at 6500 feet, 190 mph at sea level. Initial climb rate 1740 feet per minute. An altitude of 10,000 feet could be attained in 10.1 minutes. Cruising speed 170 mph. Landing speed 71 mph. Service ceiling 24,600 feet. Absolute ceiling 26,600 feet. Normal range 524 miles, maximum range 1360 miles, Weights: 7728 pounds empty, 12,824 pounds gross Dimensions: wingspan 70 feet 6 inches, length 44 feet 9 inches, height 15 feet 5 inches, wing area 678 square feet. One 0.30-inch Browning machine gun in nose turret, one 0.30-inch Browning machine gun in flexible mount in dorsal gunner position, and one 0.30-inch Browning machine gun in ventral tunnel. 2260 pounds of bombs could be carried.
The Martin B-13 was a proposed version of the YB-10 powered by a pair of 650 hp Pratt & Whitney R-1860-17 engines. Twelve examples were ordered but were all cancelled before delivery.
The Martin XB-14 was a version of the YB-10 powered by a pair of 950hp Pratt & Whitney YR-1830-9 Twin Wasps. Only one example of this version was built. | aerospace |

A Russian Mi-35 helicopter has made an emergency landing in Syria while patrolling the sky over the Al-Hasakah Governorate, the Russian Foreign Ministry said in a statement on Sunday. The ministry clarified that the chopper had not come under fire, but was forced to land due to a technical issue.
After landing, the crew was promptly taken to an airfield by a rescue team, the ministry stated, adding that no one was hurt in the incident.
The SANA News agency previously reported, citing its correspondent, that a Russian helicopter had crashed in the northeastern Syrian region.
Syria has been engulfed in a civil war since 2011, with President Bashar Assad’s forces fighting against different insurgent groups. Russia, Turkey, and Iran have joined efforts to reconciliate the conflicting sides and achieve a peaceful settlement since the first meeting in the Kazakh capital Astana (presently Nur-Sultan) in January 2017.
Russia regularly carries out humanitarian operations across the country and helps Damascus in providing safe passage for the return of Syrian refugees. | aerospace |

Scientists with the Air Force Research Laboratory and the Pentagon's research arm are working to build a new hypersonic air vehicle that can travel at speeds up to Mach 5 while carrying guidance systems and other materials.
Air Force senior officials have said the service wants to build upon the successful hypersonic flight test of the X-51 Waverider 60,000 feet above the Pacific Ocean in May of 2013.
The Air Force and DARPA, the Pentagon's research entity, plan to have a new and improved hypersonic air vehicle by 2023.
The X-51 was really a proof of concept test designed to demonstrate that a scram jet engine could launch off an aircraft and go hypersonic.
The scramjet was able to go more than Mach 5 until it ran out of fuel. It was a very successful test of an airborne hypersonic weapons system, Air Force officials said.
The successful test was particularly welcome news for Air Force developers because the X-51 Waverider had previously had some failed tests.
The Air Force is aggressively accelerating its hypersonic weapons development effort, following findings from a recent service report identifying Russian and Chinese ongoing hypersonic weapons testing.
A recent Air Force Studies Board report identified that the U.S. is not alone in its quest for this increased speed, an Air Force statement said.
The statement went on to say that China and Russia are already flight testing hypersonic weapons, and several other countries have shown interest in pursuing many of the underlying technologies for hypersonic flight.
“We must push the boundaries of technology in every area," Air Force Chief of Staff Gen. David L. Goldfein said in a statement. "Our adversaries aren’t standing still. They are looking for every advantage they can get.”
While expressing growing concern about Russian and Chinese hypersonic weapons progress, US developers have been progressing with hypersonic flight and hypersonic weapons possibilities for several years.
Describing the trajectory of hypersonic technology in terms of “stair steps,” Air Force Chief Scientist Geoffrey Zacharias said incremental progress will require decades of continued technological development.
While unmanned hypersonic surveillance flight is on track for the 2030s, launching recoverable hypersonic drones is not expected be possible until the 2040s, Zacharias said in an interview with Scout Warrior.
Air Force weapons developers expect to operate hypersonic intelligence, reconnaissance and surveillance drones by the 2040s, once scientific progress with autonomy and propulsion technology matures to a new level.
The advent of using a recoverable drone platform able to travel at high altitudes, faster than Mach 5, will follow the emergence of hypersonic weapons likely to be operational in the mid-2020s.
By the 2040s, however, the Air Force could very well have a hypersonic “strike” ISR platform able to both conduct surveillance and delivery weapons, he added.
Hypersonic Weapons Technology:
Since hypersonic vehicles can travel in a parabola-type flight path, they rise very high up into the atmosphere to reach hypersonic speeds before returning to lower altitudes.
Developing recoverable drones is much more challenging given the level of autonomy and re-entry needed for hypersonic vehicles to descend and perform ISR missions.
“A booster sends it into the atmosphere and then it dives down to its target,” Zacharias said. “A re-entry vehicle would need to be maneuverable with sufficient wing area so it can avoid counter-missiles. We need to design that chamber and make it stable to allow for maneuver.”
The advantages of hypersonic ISR drone flight are multi-faceted.
“You could fuel one of these to go for 1,000 miles in ten minutes. It speeds up the kill chain,” he said.
While today's cruise missiles travel at speeds up to 600 miles per hour, hypersonic weapons will be able to reach speeds of Mach 5 to Mach 10, Air Force officials said.
A weapon traveling at hypersonic speeds, naturally, would better enable offensive missile strikes to destroy targets such as enemy ships, buildings, air defenses and even drones and fixed-wing or rotary aircraft depending upon the guidance technology available.
Last year, the Air Force launched several hypersonic speed “test flights” as part of a joint program with Australia.
Some of the remaining scientific challenges to sustaining hypersonic drone flight include developing an ability for vehicles to operate at very high temperatures, Zacharias said.
The Air Force will likely have high-speed, long-range and deadly hypersonic weapons by the 2020s, providing kinetic energy destructive power able to travel thousands of miles toward enemy targets at five-times the speed of sound.
“Air speed makes them much more survivable and hard to shoot down. If you can put enough fuel in them that gets them a good long range. You are going roughly a mile a second so if you put in 1,000 seconds of fuel you can go 1,000 miles - so that gives you lots of standoff capability,” Zacharias said.
While much progress has been made by Air Force and Pentagon scientists thus far, much work needs to be done before hypersonic air vehicles and weapons are technologically ready to be operational in combat circumstances. | aerospace |

NASA astronauts and Roscosmos cosmonauts will use both Russian and US spacecraft for missions to the International Space Station (ISS), Roscosmos head Dmitry Rogozin told reporters on Friday.
"We agreed with the NASA leadership to preserve our agreements and principles of cooperation. Astronauts will fly on board Soyuz, and we will use US spacecraft," he said, adding that US spacecraft will need to get certification first.
According to the Roscosmos head, this will create an alternative in manned space missions to the International Space Station.
Since 2011, Russia’s Soyuz launch vehicles have flown to the ISS carrying Russian cosmonauts, US astronauts and other crew members. Currently, SpaceX and Boeing are developing new spacecraft for manned missions. SpaceX’ Crew Dragon capsule was launched on the first mission to the ISS on March 2 and docked the space station on March 3.
Crew Dragon undocked the ISS on March 8 and safely splashed into the Atlantic Ocean.
The US-based SpaceX unveiled its manned Crew Dragon spacecraft (the Dragon v2 as its other name) in May 2014. NASA and SpaceX signed a $2.6 billion contract in September 2014 on completing the development of the Dragon v2 and certifying it for flights to the ISS.

"We are proud of our scientists. I would like to thank and congratulate them for their commendable efforts. They will definitely achieve the desired result soon," he told ANI.
His comments came after the space agency lost contact with the Chandrayaan-2's Vikram Lander minutes before its touchdown on the Moon's South Pole early on Saturday.
He urged the scientists not to lose hope.
"Sometimes, we do not get the desired results even after putting tremendous efforts. People who try never get defeated. There is no need for the scientists to be disappointed," he added.
Chandrayaan-2 was launched from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre in Sriharikota on July 22.
After revolving around the earth's orbit, the spacecraft began its journey to the moon on August 14 and all manoeuvres were carried out to perfection until the last few minutes of descent.

Apparently, Garuda Indonesia's PK-GFA (c/n 36549), a 737-86N, made its delivery flight through HNL. It arrived yesterday, and departed for MAJ earlier this morning as GIA8011.
I did not see this flight on flightaware.com yesterday, only this morning ...
