Publication or External Link
In this paper, we propose a reliable multicast transport protocol for satellite communication systems. Many of the emerging applications in the Internet would benefit from reliable multicast services, and broadband satellite communication systems have attractive characteristics for supporting such services. However, many of the protocols designed primarily for terrestrial networks do not perform well over satellite networks. Therefore, it is necessary to look at the problem of reliable multicast in the solution space of satellite communications. Our protocol makes use of a special form of forward error correcting codes and couples it with an adaptive window based control mechanism to dynamically adjust the number of encoding packets forwarded to the users. Protocol makes very good use of the broadcast nature of the satellite channel and attempts to minimize the feedback from users. We evaluate the protocol performance by extensive computer simulations. | aerospace |

NASA, in turn, has devoted the bulk of its spending to major aerospace companies like Boeing and Lockheed Martin, not the entrepreneurs. However, as NASA and the White House redirect U.S. space exploration efforts, NewSpace companies are finding fresh opportunities to work with NASA.
A case in point is NASA’s new emphasis on technology development. At a workshop last week in Galveston, TX, NASA officials outlined their “point of departure” plans for developing enabling technologies for human space exploration beyond Earth orbit. Key technologies of interest include automated landers for robotic missions to the surface of the moon, Mars, and asteroids, and inflatable modules that can be attached to the International Space Station (ISS).
Seeing an opportunity, Masten Space Systems and XCOR Aerospace, two NewSpace companies based in Mojave, CA, announced plans to partner in a bid to work on proposed lander projects. Masten, which won over $1 million from NASA last year in the Northrop Grumman Lunar Lander Challenge, will develop the vehicles under the partnership, while XCOR will provide engines powered by methane and liquid oxygen–the company has worked in the past with NASA to develop such engines.
“What triggered this,” said XCOR president Jeff Greason at the International Space Development Conference (ISDC) in Chicago on Friday, “is that we received strong indications from a strategic customer that signaled to us that they would welcome the pairing of Masten’s vehicle technology with our engine technology–that if we put those two competencies together, it would scratch an itch that they really had no way to scratch right now.” The two companies, virtually next-door neighbors, already know each other well.
The work will be done in addition to, and not in place of, existing commercial work by both companies. XCOR is developing Lynx, a suborbital space plane that Greason anticipates will begin prototype flight tests in mid-2011. Masten, meanwhile, is developing suborbital vehicles using its own engine technology. By next year, said company founder Dave Masten in a separate ISDC presentation, the company will be developing Xogdor, a vehicle capable of carrying payloads (but not people) to altitudes greater than 100 kilometers. | aerospace |

The phenomenon is also putting up question mark on the world stability.
The downing of Russian warplane yesterday by Turkish forces alleging it violated the airspace even after repeated warnings is a reminder the world peace may be disrupted as both the countries are NATO members and need to abide by the treaty of mutual defense policy.
Meanwhile, the Russian President Vladimir Putin claims the fighter jet was within the airspace of Syria and Turkey will face tough consequences for such a backstabbing act.
From the Turkish government end it is said the Russian Sukhoi Su-24M bomber aircraft was shotdown near the Syria-Turkey border violating the airspace up to depth of 1.36 miles for about 17 seconds even after ten times warning to change its heading.
Russia meanwhile has denied the allegation claiming they have satellite evidence from the MoD of the Russian Federation and the fighter jet was flying about 1,000 meters in Syrian airspace at the time of downing.
This is the first time since 1950s when a Russian aircraft has been shot down by any NATA member.
The Turkish Air Force F-16 fighter jets shot down the Russian plane. The pilot as well as weapon systems officer are reported to have ejected from the warplane. However, one of them was killed by Turkmen rebels and searching for another is in process.
Meanwhile, EU has cautioned both the nations to stay calm. | aerospace |

Suspended in the vast expanse of space, its silvery glow and mysterious presence have inspired awe, wonder, and countless artistic expressions. This article takes you on a journey to uncover the mysteries and allure of our nearest cosmic neighbor, the Moon.
The Majestic Lunar Dance: Our planet is graced by the elegant presence of the moon, as it completes a cycle around us in approximately 29.5 days. It is this orbit that brings about the enchanting phases of the moon, from the sliver of a waxing crescent to the glowing full moon and then to the fading crescent. Each phase has its own tale to tell, casting a magical radiance upon our Earth and creating a breathtaking nocturnal scene.
The origin and characteristics of the Moon are believed to have been formed billions of years ago from a collision between Earth and a Mars-sized object. The Moon is adorned with various topographical features such as vast plains named “maria,” towering mountains, deep craters, and rugged highlands. These lunar landscapes serve as evidence of ancient volcanic activity and meteorite impacts that have significantly shaped the surface of the Moon over time.
The Untold Story of the Moon: Although we are all familiar with the side of the moon that faces us, the other side, which is often called the “dark side,” remained unknown to human eyes until the era of space exploration. Back in 1959, the Soviet spacecraft Luna 3 captured the very first images of the far side, uncovering a strange and drastically different landscape. The unexplored area of the moon presents an intriguing world that continues to captivate both scientists and space enthusiasts alike.
Throughout the course of history, the Moon has been a source of endless fascination, inspiring humanity to explore the unknown depths of space. The Apollo missions of the 1960s and 1970s marked a monumental achievement in human exploration, with Apollo 11 becoming the first mission to successfully land astronauts on the lunar surface. Neil Armstrong’s famous words, “That’s one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind,” continue to resonate in our collective memory, serving as a symbol of our unrelenting spirit of discovery.
Beyond its celestial beauty, the Moon also plays a critical role in shaping our planet. Its gravitational pull affects the ocean tides, influencing marine life and coastal ecosystems. Furthermore, the Moon’s presence has influenced cultures all over the world, inspiring countless myths, legends, and artistic creations that celebrate its mystical essence. | aerospace |

Funds were not actually made available until June of 1960, with the bulk of the work carried out over the following year. The basic objectives of the SLOMAR study were to estimate future military space needs in terms of support for manned space stations and produce preliminary designs of vehicles to fulfill that mission. Nearly 50 years later, SLOMAR remains shrouded in vaguery, since it was classified at the time and little has been declassified since.
One item that has been declassified is a brief memo describing and illustrating the main competing contractors various designs. Included within is the General Dynamics concept, a manned lifting body spaceplane with a payload of 6,000 pounds. Being a lifting body gave it cross range potential; the landing footprint was expected to be 1750 by 5200 nautical miles. Little other data was presented in the available documentation, unfortunately. The launch vehicle is unknown; it looks of the right sort of size to be launched by a Titan III, but the 12 foot diameter propulsion module is larger than the 10 foot diameter Titan III core. It may have been designed to launch atop a Saturn 1, or perhaps a launch vehicle of General Dynamics’ own design.
So, that’s another contest with no winner. | aerospace |

A United Launch Alliance Delta IV Heavy rocket, carrying the spacecraft, lifted off at 3:31 a.m. EDT, from Space Launch Complex 37 on Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida, its engines blazing golden in the clear night sky during ascent.
“It was a very quiet launch countdown, it went off like clockwork,” said Omar Baez, NASA Launch Director. “Parker Solar Probe has been one of our most challenging missions to date. I’m very proud of the team that worked to make this happen. We at NASA and the Launch Services Program are thrilled to be part of this mission.”
About four minutes into flight, a series of key events occurred. The Delta IV port and starboard booster engines shut down and separated, the main core booster engine cut off and then separated from the second stage. After second stage engine ignition, the payload fairing was jettisoned. After second stage main engine cutoff and separation, the Parker Solar Probe separated from the third stage, provided by Northrup Grumman. Shortly afterward, mission managers confirmed that the spacecraft’s solar arrays successfully deployed and the spacecraft was operating on its own power.
During its mission to “touch” the Sun, Parker Solar Probe will use gravity assists from Venus seven times over nearly seven years to gradually bring its orbit closer to the Sun. It will fly directly through the Sun’s atmosphere, as close as 3.8 million miles from its surface, closer to the surface than any spacecraft before it. The spacecraft will hurtle around the Sun at speeds up to 430,000 miles per hour. That’s about 210 times faster than a speeding bullet. | aerospace |

By: Ruchi Schroff
Iran's parliament has banned all airplanes from flying in the country during the Azan call to prayer, the Mehr news agency has reported.
"According to the new directive, airplanes are banned from flying during Azan, especially during the call to morning prayers," Mehr quoted the spokesman for parliament's cultural committee Ali Taheri as saying.
The head of the Aviation Organization, Hamid Reza Pahlevani, said aircraft will be allowed to take off 30 minutes after the call to the morning prayer so that passengers have the time "to carry out their religious duties", the Iranian Students' News Agency (ISNA) reported.
Taheri also reportedly said serious attention will be given to observing the strict Islamic dress code for women working at airports or airline companies.

That’s according to the press service of Ukraine’s Defense Ministry, Ukrinform reports.
In a joint exercise with the U.S. counterparts, Ukrainian military worked out their landing routine, deploying spec op groups to a designated area, using guided "Wing" type parachutes, from an altitudes from 2,000 m to 3,000 m,” the report says.
The effort was part of preparations for the strategic command and staff exercise Joint Efforts 2021.
Before the start of the practical phase, U.S. military instructors held a briefing, noting the peculiarities of performing jumps from MC-130 planes and explaining safety rules.
As Ukrinform reported, the Joint Efforts 2021 strategic command and staff exercises, the active phase of which will take place late September, will surpass last year's in scale, representation, and scenario.
The drill will consist of three stages. During the first and second stages, the military will be working out the issues of command of defense forces during the repulse of armed aggression. During the third stage, elements of command over multinational forces involving units from partner states will be worked out.
Ukraine has sent invitations to 16 partner countries, including NATO Allies – the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Germany, Hungary, Poland, Romania, Lithuania, Slovakia, and Turkey.
Also, Finland, Sweden, Jordan, and Georgia, enjoying the status of NATO Enhanced Opportunity Partners, as well as Moldova and Azerbaijan, who joined NATO's Partnership for Peace program, are among the invited countries. | aerospace |

TWI is building an unmanned aircraft with inflatable wings as it attempts to make its mark on one of the aerospace industry’s most important emerging markets.
The Cambridge-based engineering specialist, which has made its name by pushing back the boundaries of join and weld technologies, is taking its civilian-use unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) through the final stages of initial development and plans to conduct a test flight around the end of September.
Once development is complete, the technology will be licensed out to manufacturers looking for civil-use UAVs, which are capable of overcoming the issues of cost and safety before they are rolled out to industry.
TWI has a wealth of expertise with UAVs and is currently involved in several other projects where the work is specific to client needs.
This latest work, however, is an independent programme, which at the moment is not tied down to any industrial partners, though TWI does not expect to manufacture and market the UAV.
The Granta Park company’s attention is currently focused on developing the joins which will knit the wings together, allowing them enough flexibility to be rolled up within a fuselage and enough strength to open out, lift the craft and sustain flight.
Paul Burling, TWI’s principal engineer in composite materials, said: “The civil market does not want something cumbersome and in need of expert handling. The wing can be inflated a number of ways and does not have to be pressurised. It can be opened up through forward motion, much like a paraglider.”
UAVs, most often associated with military and defence institutions, only form a small segment of the aerospace industry.
However, advances in high resolution remote sensing and image processing as well as progress in UAV technology has opened up their potential application in a number of civilian industries.
This has fed a feeling across the aviation industry that the civil UAV market has enormous potential and is ready to excel, a feeling echoed by several governmental bodies.
The UK Civil Aviation Authority’s acceptance that UAVs will be commonplace and share space with manned aircraft has led them to develop appropriate civil standards. Meanwhile NASA is developing a UAV roadmap to assess the capabilities of UAVs for civil use to complement the Office of the Secretary of Defense UAV roadmap.
UVANET, a pan-European industry association that has been established to advance UAV development, believes that within 10 years, affordable UAVs will be developed for civil operations.
These will include monitoring environment, monitoring disaster areas, communications relays, scientific research and law enforcement.
The power line monitoring market alone for Europe, Asia, Africa and the Middle East is expected to be over £200m between 2003 and 2012.
“There is a huge market on the civil side,” said Burling. “It depends on endurance, but the UAV could be used to loiter out at sea, patrol beaches, border control, examine crops. In Norfolk it could be used for inspection of pipelines and cables between the North Sea and the coastal compression stations.
“Large countries like Australia that are dependent on the right amount of rainfall or sun need to monitor their crops closely. We will be able to offer an alternative to the expense of helicopters or the time-consuming and often hazardous groundwork undertaken by employees.”
Burling believes that an appropriate monitoring system would weigh around 150 grams. TWI’s UAV can take a payload of up to 1.2 kilos, though the heavier it is the more detrimental effect it has on endurance. | aerospace |

The festive season is upon us and for many people top of their Christmas list is a drone. However, their existence continues to divide opinion with on the one hand, concerns over the increasing scope for their disruptive use and on the other wonderment at their capability. The rules and regulations governing the operation of drones, their registration and the airspace in which they fly are evolving at a rapid pace, thanks to BALPA’s long running campaign on drone safety. Significant progress has been made towards assuring the safety of other airspace users and people on the ground with strengthened enforcement powers and counter drone capability in the pipeline. However, there is still much work to do to address ongoing safety concerns and to reduce the risk of a drone-induced accident to an acceptable level. So, what does BALPA see as the main priorities?
Resilience of aircraft to drone strikes and effects of wake turbulence
As the number of drones in use continues to rise, and with some operators choosing to deliberately fly in close vicinity of aircraft, the risk of a collision could increase. It is known through a joint study, conducted by BALPA, the Department for Transport and the Military Aviation Authority, which investigated the effects of a drone colliding with aircraft windscreens and helicopter tail rotors, that due to their hard and dense material nature, a drone would cause more severe damage than an equivalent collision with a bird. There needs to be formal aircraft certification requirements governing drone strikes, particularly for engine ingestion and cockpit windscreens. The effect of an aircraft’s wake on a drone’s ability to maintain a controlled flight path and indeed its structural integrity also require serious thought. Considering that a business jet following closely behind a large airliner on the approach can be flipped over, the consequences for a drone are clear to imagine with a real risk to the safety of people on the ground. There needs to be appropriate wake turbulence separation standards.
Electronic conspicuity and registration
In terms of registration of drones and education of drone users, BALPA’s long running campaign to bring about change has seen some results. In November 2019 laws came in to force that mean anyone responsible for a drone or unmanned aircraft (including model aircraft) weighing between 250g and 20kg needs to register as an operator. The cost for this is £9 renewable annually. BALPA would like to see this extended further to the registration of individual drones, not just the operator.
Anyone flying a drone or unmanned aircraft (including model aircraft) weighing between 250g and 20kg must also take and pass an online education package. This is free and renewable every three years.
But there is still more that BALPA is pushing for. To allow the safe integration of drones into airspace occupied by manned aircraft and to help identify the presence of potentially rogue drones, there needs to be a requirement for drones to be equipped with some form of electronic device that makes them visible and traceable. Such a system needs to be designed, built and certified to recognised and accepted international standards, and be interoperable with existing manned aircraft and air traffic management-based equipment. The system should transmit the identification number and location of the individual drone, as well as the licence number and location of the drone operator. This is an essential requirement of any future unmanned aircraft traffic management (UTM) system.
Detect and Avoid (DAA) capability of drones
DAA capability is also essential for the safe integration of drones, especially for beyond visual line of sight (BVLOS) operations. Again, this must be interoperable with technology used by other airspace users. The onus must be placed on the drone to avoid a collision, not the manned aircraft.
Safe separation from helicopter operations
The increase in the Flight Restricted Zone (FRZ) radius around UK airports from 1km to 5km (as a result of BALPA’s recommendation) is a welcome improvement in mitigating the collision risk for airliners but there remains a vulnerability for helicopter operations. By their nature they tend to operate at low level, often in dense urban areas and in response to emergency situations – all where drones are more likely to be present and are much less resilient to a collision. There needs to be protection for helicopter operations, particularly those carrying out emergency response (for example a temporary FRZ).
This week BALPA will be part of a Westminster eForum policy conference to discuss regulation, airspace management, emerging use cases and sector development for commercial drones in the UK. This is just another example of how BALPA continues to engage with industry, academics, regulators and government bodies to further promote the safety interests of its members and to support the safe evolution of a thriving drone industry. | aerospace |

In this paper, we present a comparative study that evaluates the merit of cooperative unmanned aerial sensor systems against that of a single system with equivalent capabilities. The motivation for our study stems from the current lack of theoretical and empirical work that shows the effectiveness of multiple cooperative unmanned vehicles (UAVs) over the proponents of a single, sophisticated UAV. Using a case study of searching and detecting ground targets with both electro-optical (EO) and infrared (IR) signatures, we quantify the advantage of multiple cooperative UAVs over a single UAV with equivalent sensing capabilities. Simulation results that support the use of cooperative systems over a single system are included.

https://newspostwall.com/autonews/russias-new-fighter-design-seen-uncovered-for-the-first-time/ | 2021-09-26T04:26:35 | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-39/segments/1631780057796.87/warc/CC-MAIN-20210926022920-20210926052920-00306.warc.gz | 0.961568 | 1,056 | CC-MAIN-2021-39 | webtext-fineweb__CC-MAIN-2021-39__0__89831380 | en | We also see the aircraft has a slide-back bubble canopy like the Su-57 Felon, the advanced heavy fighter that this design likely shares a lot of subsystem architecture and other technology with. The staple infrared search and track system housing is mounted in front of the canopy as it is on all of Russia’s modern fighters. We also see that the aircraft does indeed have a pair of tailerons splayed out at an angle instead of a traditional vertical and horizontal stabilizer arrangement. This configuration can offer high maneuverability, reduced radar signature, and helps in reducing infrared signature from many aspects. It’s worth noting that a number of fighter concepts looked to leverage this configuration, including the Joint Advanced Strike Technology (JAST) designs the United States explored in the 1990s that led to the Joint Strike Fighter. The YF-23 actually put it to use. You can read all about this configuration as it was employed on the YF-23 here.
The aircraft has a chine line that runs around its forward fuselage and makes up a leading-edge root extension (LERX). It also looks to have something akin to a bit of a boat tail, with ‘booms’ on each side of the main engine that support the tailerons. The wing looks like a modified delta design with ‘clipped’ wingtips. We will have to wait for more angles to give a better analysis of these details and especially its planform.
The Checkmate jet is painted in a splotched gray and taupe scheme on its upper fuselage with a baby blue underside. This counter-shading-like concept is common for modern Russian aircraft and is most similar to schemes worn by the Su-57, which isn’t surprising. It wears a bort number of Blue 75 (maybe for Su-75?) and the Russian red star on its tail.
The biggest new detail, beyond the inlet, we see in the image is what looks like an elongated, relatively narrow, conformal weapons bay situated forward of the landing gear. With just one angle available to us, it is hard to draw many distinct conclusions, but it appears to be best suited for a single air-to-air missile, likely of a shorter-range nature. This is a similar design philosophy to the Su-57, which has dedicated clamshell-like bays for a short-range air-to-air missile on each side. Presumably, considering the thicker dimensions of its center fuselage section, the Checkmate will have a ventral weapons bay, as well, with a serpentine duct moving air from the inlet to the engine, and over a weapons bay.
The nose seems quite squat from the angle we are seeing it here, which would limit the size of the AESA array it could feature, at least in the vertical plane, although it could make up for some of that area horizontally. A better angle could change this analysis.
The side view also indicates the aircraft has ample room for internal fuel. It will be interesting to see the range claims for this single-engine design.
As to whether this is a real, flyable aircraft, I doubt it. It looks like an elaborate mockup, but we will have to wait for more imagery to better define just how far comprehensive it is.
It is also worth noting that in the background there is what looks like a KH-59MK anti-ship missile. It will likely be part of a larger display of the exportable weapons the Checkmate is intended to be able to deploy.
Finally, as to the issue of low-observability, or at least the degree to which the aircraft’s design is optimized for, my initial take is this will end up being somewhat similar in concept to the Su-57, taking a balanced design approach dictated by Russia’s capabilities in low-observable design, manufacturing, and material sciences versus cost and performance. The aircraft will have some optimization for reduced signature from the frontal hemisphere, where it is most critical. I don’t think this is trying to compete directly with U.S. stealth designs, that isn’t the point, but includes reduced radar signature where it matters most. In the end, any stealthy claims by the manufacturer won’t be as interesting as those pertaining to procurement and operating costs, sustainment, and funding for the type’s development, which will be substantial.
As I have stated in the past, this aircraft is likely an export product answer to light-to-medium weight advanced fighter designs coming out of China, South Korea, and Turkey, to name the primary players. These aircraft, which all feature some degree of low-observability, should they go into production and hit the export market, could erode Russia’s share of the fighter market. Hence, the “Checkmate.”

From cars, planes, household machines and appliances to medical parts and toys, all go through a CNC machine at some point during production.
Computer Numerically Controlled or CNC machining has become more versatile then ever. The number of axis has increased and the types of machines now available mean that increasingly smaller and more intricate parts are manufactured using a CNC machine. The development of CNC Machining has truly revolutionised the manufacturing industry.
UK spaceflight is about to take the next step in aerospace dominance. The UK Space Agency, with support from Lockheed Martin, will develop Europe’s first spaceport on A’Mhoine Peninsula in Sutherland, Scotland. Highlands and Islands Enterprise (HIE) will develop the launch site in Sutherland with initial funding of £2.5 million. The plan is to use proven and new innovative rocket technologies to lay the foundation for UK spaceflight to become world-leaders.
In addition, a further £2.5 million will go to the development of horizontal launch sites in Cornwall, Argyll and Wales. These sites could boost UK spaceflight and the economy even further presenting significant opportunities for companies all over the globe to invest in Britain. Continue reading →

It’s always only a matter of time before countries explore each other’s successes (or failures) and this is no different. Combat drones, powered by advanced technology like artificial intelligence, are the new ‘wingmen’ to Chinese carrier-based fighter jets. Essentially, it appears to be an attempt to compete with the prowess of the United States’ unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) programs. Some believe that it’s China’s version of the US Navy’s Unmanned Carrier Launched Airborne Surveillance and Strike (UCLASS).
According to Shi Wen, chief engineer and designer of China’s Caihong (CH), or Rainbow UAV series, “The joint operations of manned military aircraft, like fighter jets, and UAVs is the drone’s future. We are making efforts to promote artificial intelligence (AI) for UAVs to allow manned aircraft to co-pilot UAVs.”Continue reading →

Alpha Aviation was originally founded 11 years ago as a flight school and to this day has trained several hundred transport pilots. These days, Alpha Aviation is focused mainly on commercial air transport and aircraft management. We have several Cirrus SR22 and SR22T aircraft under our care, as well the largest commercial air transport fleet of Pilatus PC-12 aircraft in the Czech Republic, along with Hawker 400XP and Phenom 100/300 jet aircraft.
MANAGEMENT OF YOUR AIRCRAFT
We offer complete management of your aircraft, including maintenance, communication with service centres to ensure top-quality maintenance at a fair price, initial and periodic crew training, and complete flight planning and organisation. In short, everything you need.
Thanks to our extensive experience and innovative approach we are able to manage all types of aeroplane, from smaller light-sport planes to aircraft with an intercontinental range such as a Falcon, Gulfstream or Bombardier Global.
COMPREHENSIVE FLIGHT ORGANISATION
We’ll take care of the hassle of travelling for you! We’ll look after all aspects of the flight including planning, dealing with any technicalities, catering, and onward transport from the airport to the final destination by car or helicopter.
If your aircraft isn’t suitable or available to carry out a particular flight, we can offer you a corresponding aeroplane from our extensive fleet or source you the best aircraft rental offer on the market.
QUALITY AND EFFECTIVE MAINTENANCE
As your operator we ensure that all maintenance is carried out on your aircraft in accordance with the requisite legislative requirements. We work with the best service centres on the market. At the same time, we also work hard to guarantee reasonable maintenance costs and minimise the time spent at a service centre through effective planning.
It is common knowledge that the most important safety measure onboard any aircraft is a well-trained crew. In collaboration with our training partners, Alpha Aviation carefully recruits and regularly trains its pilots to handle emergency situations and operate at busy or challenging airports. With us you can rest assured that we only have the most experienced and most thoroughly trained pilots onboard our aircraft.
Alpha Aviation brings a unique amount of innovation to the business aviation sector in comparison to the competition. This applies to both commercial and general aviation.
We were the first in the Czech Republic to receive a commercial air operator certificate for single-motor aircraft (Piper Meridian, Pilatus PC12). Amongst other requirements, this meant that we had to develop our own application which allowed pilots to plan flights to airports within a certain range such that they would be able to glide to them without engines in an emergency situation. In order to do this, they have to take not only the terrain into consideration but also the current meteorological situation. This application received commercial air transport certification from the Civil Aviation Authority.
In addition to innovation in aviation, we are also gradually automating the majority of our business processes and are the first company to run a completely paperless cockpit. This means that our organisation is more efficient, resulting in lower costs for aircraft owners as well as faster operations – plus a reduction in errors. As is often the case with young, innovative companies, we are leading the way in introducing such systems to the aviation industry.
WHY WORK WITH US?
- We offer complete aircraft management for commercial air transport, ensuring the highest standards of safety and impeccably trained crews.
- During those periods when you don’t need access to your aircraft, we offer to utilise it for our flights, meaning that your aircraft earns for you. We can prepare your aircraft for commercial air transport in a matter of weeks.
- For the operation of commercial air transport, consumption taxes do not apply for fuel and VAT is not levied on airport fees which reduces the costs associated with your flights.
- We offer a fair deal when providing you with a replacement aircraft of the same category in instances when yours is, for example, undergoing maintenance work.

Thx a lot but are you sure that Kraken is on mobile?
So I dihedralise the vertical stabilizers less and it helped a lot but it is still doing this... @Willfraser
@Willfraser ok good thx a lot
@MarshallLewisAerospace Ok thx! I tried and it worked. Thx
@AircraftNPC Thx but what’s the wing tremor?
@Wingman522 It means "Thrust Vector Control" it moves the engines when pitching so the pitch is kind of harder like there’s more pitch. Try, just stay on the runway and put AG 1 and pitch, look at the engines, they going to move
This is obviously the best plane ever
This! Is the best thing ever. Thankyou mate!
Good plane, did you tried to make a SU-27? Cause it looks like one(a bit)
Look up @suntadj
Simply beautiful, congrats. Wow
WoW beautiful... Congrats. But can you make a version that can shoot? That would be cool
How do we can get to each one of them?
...it doesn’t work...when we drop the vehicle, it says the planes damaged and I need to restart
Comment what you think about it!
WoW cool very good
Stability is very hard to get but the design is crazy so congratulation for design and need progress in technically | aerospace |

The National Reconnaissance Office has confirmed it will launch a payload on a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket from Cape Canaveral later this month, Spaceflight Now reports. This mission was not publicly disclosed until recently. An NRO spokesperson confirmed Monday that NRO is the customer for the Falcon 9 launch scheduled no earlier than October 25.
Finding Zuma ... SpaceX has launched national security missions before that went unannounced until the final stages of launch preparations. The Zuma mission, a mysterious payload launched for the US government in January 2018, was not publicly listed in any launch schedules or contract announcements until the final weeks before its planned liftoff.

Antares lofts Cygnus cargo mission. The Antares 230+ rocket lifted off from the Mid-Atlantic Regional Spaceport on Wallops Island, Virginia, on Friday night. The NG-14 Cygnus spacecraft separated from the rocket's upper stage about nine minutes later, SpaceNews reports.
Back in action after COVID-19 ... The launch was originally scheduled for September 29 but delayed two days by weather. A launch attempt October 1 was aborted a little more than 2.5 minutes before liftoff because of a problem with software in ground systems. This was the first Cygnus mission since the pandemic. (submitted by Ken the Bin and platykurtic)
SpaceX gets back on track with a Starlink launch. SpaceX has been trying to get its 12th batch of operational Starlink satellites into orbit for a while. The company's first attempt on September 28 was scrubbed due to thick clouds over the launch site at Kennedy Space Center. A second attempt on October 1 got to within 18 seconds of launching before a ground-systems issue delayed the launch. Finally, having addressed that issue, poor weather on Monday morning forced yet another delay.
A picture is worth a thousand words ... The real reason we're posting this story, however, is that if you have not yet seen the photo of a Falcon 9 rocket flying in front of the Sun taken for Ars by Trevor Mahlmann, you should rectify that immediately.
Safety panel has concerns about Artemis software. During a recent meeting of the Aerospace Safety Advisory Panel, one of its members, former NASA Flight Director Paul Hill, outlined the panel's concerns after speaking with managers for NASA's first three Artemis missions. This includes a test flight of the Space Launch System rocket and Orion spacecraft for Artemis I, then human flights on the Artemis II and III missions, Ars reports.
Starliner lacked end-to-end testing ... "The panel has great concern about the end-to-end integrated test capability plans, especially for flight software," Hill said. "There is no end-to-end integrated avionics and software test capability. Instead, multiple and separate labs, emulators, and simulations are being used to test subsets of the software." Hill wondered out loud why NASA had apparently not learned an important lesson from the recent Boeing Starliner mishap. NASA responded that it is confident in its software testing.
China planning a new heavy-lift rocket. China has revealed that it is working on a new rocket that could send astronauts to land on the Moon, Space.com reports.
The new launch vehicle was unveiled last month at the 2020 China Space Conference in the East China city of Fuzhou. The new launcher is designed to send a 25-metric-ton spacecraft into translunar injection. Mass at liftoff will be 2,200 metric tons, or nearly triple that of China's current largest rocket, the Long March 5.
Triple-core score ... The new rocket will feature three 5-meter cores, in a style similar to two American rockets: United Launch Alliance's Delta IV Heavy and SpaceX's Falcon Heavy. The as-yet-unnamed rocket will be 87 meters long, and it is being designed at the China Academy of Launch Vehicle Technology in Beijing. It is not clear whether this booster will supplant the previously disclosed plans for a superheavy-lift rocket named Long March 9 or if it represents an interim step. (submitted by Joey S-IVB)

Several Spanish airports were closed today as they are expecting an out-of-control 23-ton Chinese rocket to fall somewhere in Spain.
Madrid and Barcelona airspace have been reportedly closed, with passengers stuck in planes, which have been grounded, and airport terminals, waiting for the airspace to reopen.
All flights into and out of Barcelona, Tarragona, Ibiza and Reus have been delayed.
There is no 100% certainty that the rocket will hit Spain, but there is a high probability that it will do so. It is expected to hit before 12.30pm. The debris of the rocket which is travelling at 17,500 miles an hour is being monitored by the EU Space Surveillance and Tracking.

Scott’s year in space might have aged him and caused genetically changes that are now differentiating him from his identical twin brother, Mark Kelly, that remained on Earth. Born just a few minutes apart, the twins were both US Navy captains, both flew on the Endeavour and Discovery space shuttles and both spent time on board the International Space Station (ISS).
But after Scott Kelly has spent 340 days on board the ISS, NASA findings showed that more than seven percent of his genes no longer match those of brother Mark. Tests showed his immune cells rose suggesting inflammation, and he may even be biologically older than his brother now, based on the speed of detrimental changes to his DNA. This is surprising because, even though it was known that astronauts’ bodies change to adapt to living in microgravity, it was generally assumed the effects wore off when returning to Earth.
But even though Scott landed back in March 2016, his body has yet to return to normal, some of the genes which appeared to have permanently changed involve DNA repair, bone formation, and how the cells use oxygen. This was a great opportunity for NASA to better study the genetic changes that happen to the human body after long periods in space. | aerospace |

The alluring beauty of Nepal can leave anyone captivated by its enchanting natural beauty. Natasha Shrestha, a Russian native, was also ultimately unable to resist Nepal and is now personally and professionally soaked in Nepal.
Natasha Shrestha shared the history of Avia Club Nepal, saying, "The company was conjured up in 1996 as the pioneer of air sports activities in Nepal with the authorization of the civil aviation authority of Nepal."
In contrast to being the first to offer ultralight flight service in Nepal when it was less well known here, Avia Club Nepal marked its identity as the pioneer in the field of air sports activities in Nepal.
Natasha Shrestha, who is currently the aviation manager at Avia Club Nepal in Pokhara, has witnessed the full evolution of both the aviation and tourism industries in Nepal during her 26 years of voyage and expertise in the area.
Avia Club Nepal introduced airsports along with ultra-light flight in Nepal as one of the prominent air sports that are now cherished by many adventure striving visitors. Natasha Shrestha highlighted that the Avia Club Nepal offers the ultimate service with guaranteed safety, having years of experience hosting more than 45,000 people from 78 different countries.
Shrestha shared that, highlighting the safety of passengers, an inspection of the aircraft is performed by the technician prior to each flight. Avia Club Nepal also provides all necessary safety gear before the flight, including windproof fly jackets, trousers, and helmets.
The ultra-light flight at Avia Club Nepal is prudent to convey to you a safe perch to soar beyond the clouds for an aerial panorama of Pokhara. Natasha Shrestha reassured those who aspire to enjoy thrilling flying experiences to cherish them for the rest of their lives. You may enjoy the captivating aerial view of Pokhara's naturally beautiful city, with its lakes and brilliant mountain range, when you fly ultra-light, gliding above the clouds.
"With the intention of promoting ultra-light flight and making it more accessible, Avia Club Nepal also provides pilot training to increase professional and skilled manpower for those who are willing to be pilots of ultra-light flight, and the only requirement is that the candidate must be at least 18 years old and have completed high school. Interested people can start learning to fly delta wing or tri axis professionally in just 25 hours—10 hours with an instructor followed by a 15-hour solo flight," Shrestha shared.
She further added, "We opened the training service because without skilled professional manpower, it's impossible to develop any industry. Additionally, it can also contribute to creating skilled manpower and employment opportunities in Nepal." Shrestha wishes to be able to operate as many airsports as possible in Nepal and continue the plan to make Nepal an adventure hub.
"Avia Club Nepal has endeavoured to assert and operate as many airsports as feasible in Nepal ever since its inception, but the COVID pandemic created an indelible gap to continue the operation as planned," Shrestha said, recalling the hurdles amidst the pandemic. She hopes to be able to operate as many airsports as possible in Nepal and continue the plan to make Nepal an adventure hub.
She also emphasised that, post-COVID, domestic tourists created substantial contributions to the tourism industry in Nepal, which was handicapped by the pandemic.
Avia Club Nepal has also resumed the paragliding and hot-air balloon operations that were halted during the pandemic. You can now soar above the clouds to enjoy the alluring panoramic aerial view of Pokhara with Avia Club Nepal in an ultralight flight, paragliding, or hot-air balloon, depending on your preference.

UK to buy own sat nav system after being frozen out of EU satellite due to Brexit
26 June 2020, 07:32
The UK will buy its own satellite navigation system to support defence and critical national infrastructure projects, according to reports.
The Prime Minister and the Chancellor have reportedly signed off on Britain purchasing a 20 per cent stake in OneWeb, a satellite operator.
The UK will no longer have access to the European Union's Galileo satellite navigation system because of Brexit.
Boris Johnson has pledged to "to put up about £500 million" of taxpayer money for the purchase, after OneWeb filed for bankruptcy in March in the US, after failing to secure new funding.
According to reports in the Financial Times, which said the funds were part of a larger private sector consortium bid.
The company has its headquarters in Britain and has 74 satellites in orbit along with plans for hundreds more.
OneWeb launched a number of satellites in March.
The FT also said Mr Johnson's chief adviser Dominic Cummings was "instrumental" in pushing for the UK's involvement in the bid, as the Government seeks a system that will support mobile phones and provide vital location information for the military and businesses.
Previously, the UK aimed to build its own global navigation satellite system, at a cost estimated by independent experts of £3-£5 billion.
Then-prime minister Theresa May said in December 2018 that Britain expected to work with the US and other "Five Eyes" partners. | aerospace |

It was about 28°C, clear blue skies (for most of the morning) with not much wind. Tracking rockets was relatively easy. Thirty nine rockets were launched from A – K motors. Larry brought along his modified launch trailer replete with Australian flag. He had added stabilisers making it rock solid when fully deployed. It is a great asset and well utilised by QRS members.
Bruce ground tested the ejection charge performance for his new rocket in preparation for his L3 attempt at Thunda. It all went according to plan. Jeff launched his Ganymede on a K650 to 3,600ft as a final test launch prior to his L3 attempt at Thunda.
A number of new members launched their rockets on C and D motors for the first time and were happy with the results. They were even happier when most of them landed relatively close to the launch site for ease of recovery. Thomas launched his tiny Sky Dart on an A3 to about 150ft.
Blake’s Drag Queen Prototype took off with urgency on an I280 and was retrieved after a long walk. The rocket was being tested to determine performance for the drag race at Thunda. I can say that it looked very ‘competitive’. Larry’s Expediter lofted to 2,130ft but seemed to linger in the air for ages in recovery mode. There were several Callisto rockets launched on various motors with great results. It is obviously a popular choice for many developing rocketeers.
Rowland had a number of attempts getting his C motor cluster Raw Eject into the air. He experimented with the launch arrangement and got it functioning right in the end. The maiden flight of Mark’s Sudden Rush looked impressive on an I195. He is experimenting with electronic deployment and having great results. | aerospace |

How far is Uranus from the Sun in million km?
How long will it take to travel to Uranus?
For example the Voyager 2 spacecraft was launched on Aug 20 1977 and it reached Uranus on Jan 24 1986. So Voyager 2 took almost nine and a half years to reach Uranus.
Can you walk in Uranus?
You can’t stand on Uranus
That’s because Jupiter Saturn Uranus and Neptune don’t have solid surfaces – they have a rocky core but are mainly big balls of hydrogen and helium.
How is Uranus blue?
Which planet is very far from Earth?
Chilly Uranus lies far from Earth and the sun. Neptune is the only planet farther from either. More than a billion miles from the warmer bodies the planet contains the coldest atmosphere in the solar system and an icy composition.
Is Uranus getting closer to Earth?
The average distance of Uranus from the Earth is about 19.19 AU (1 AU = 150 million Km the mean distance between Earth and Sun). At the opposition the planet will be at 18.79 AU. This means the gas giant will be 60 million Km closer to the Earth than its average distance.
Will Uranus collide with Earth?
How long would it take to get to Pluto?
The $720 million New Horizons mission launched in January 2006 speeding away from Earth at a record-breaking 36 400 mph (58 580 km/h). Even at that blistering pace it still took the probe 9.5 years to reach Pluto which was about 3 billion miles (5 billion km) from Earth on the day of the flyby.
Where is Voyager 1 now?
Voyager 1 is currently in the constellation of Ophiucus. The current Right Ascension of Voyager 1 is 17h 13m 23s and the Declination is +12° 02′ 11” (topocentric coordinates computed for the selected location: Greenwich United Kingdom [change]).
How long would it take to get to Moon?
How long is one day on Uranus?
0d 17h 14m
Can we live Neptune?
No other planet has this including Neptune which only has trace amounts of oxygen. It has a hydrogen helium and methane atmosphere. So it would be impossible for us to breath on the planet Neptune which is another obstacle for humans living there.
What would happen if you stood on Uranus?
Uranus is a ball of ice and gas so you can’t really say that it has a surface. If you tried to land a spacecraft on Uranus it would just sink down through the upper atmosphere of hydrogen and helium and into the liquid icy center. … This color is light from the Sun reflected off Uranus’ surface.
What planet is the coldest?
Uranus holds the record for the coldest temperature ever measured in the Solar System: a very chilly -224℃.Nov 8 2021
What planet is green?
Who is the twin of Earth?
How does Uranus rotate?
The outer rings are brightly colored and easier to see. Like Venus Uranus rotates in the opposite direction as most other planets. And unlike any other planet Uranus rotates on its side. Visit NASA Space Place for more kid-friendly facts.
How cold is it on Uranus?
What is the closest star to Earth?
The closest star to Earth is a triple-star system called Alpha Centauri. The two main stars are Alpha Centauri A and Alpha Centauri B which form a binary pair. They are about 4.35 light-years from Earth according to NASA.
Which is the closest Neighbour of the earth?
Earth’s Moon has been a source of curiosity throughout human history. It is Earth’s closest companion in the Solar System yet it appears to be very different from the Earth.
Do all planets rotate?
The planets all revolve around the sun in the same direction and in virtually the same plane. In addition they all rotate in the same general direction with the exceptions of Venus and Uranus. These differences are believed to stem from collisions that occurred late in the planets’ formation.
Can you see Uranus from Earth 2021?
What is the hottest planet?
Planetary surface temperatures tend to get colder the farther a planet is from the Sun. Venus is the exception as its proximity to the Sun and dense atmosphere make it our solar system’s hottest planet.Jan 30 2018
What hit Uranus in the past?
What if the sun exploded?
What would happen if you fell into Neptune?
How long is the flight to Mars?
The trip to Mars will take about seven months and about 300 million miles (480 million kilometers). During that journey engineers have several opportunities to adjust the spacecraft’s flight path to make sure its speed and direction are best for arrival at Jezero Crater on Mars.
How many years would it take to get to Jupiter?
Travel time to Jupiter takes around 6 years and we’ve done it the hard way—using the Earth’s gravity to slingshot the Galileo probe twice to make the trip.
How long would it take to get to Mars from Earth?
The total journey time from Earth to Mars takes between 150-300 days depending on the speed of the launch the alignment of Earth and Mars and the length of the journey the spacecraft takes to reach its target. It really just depends on how much fuel you’re willing to burn to get there. More fuel shorter travel time.
Will Voyager 1 leave the Milky Way?
Voyager 1 will leave the solar system aiming toward the constellation Ophiuchus. In the year 40 272 AD (more than 38 200 years from now) Voyager 1 will come within 1.7 light years of an obscure star in the constellation Ursa Minor (the Little Bear or Little Dipper) called AC+79 3888.
How much power does Voyager 1 have left?
Is Voyager 1 coming back to Earth?
But farther—much farther—Voyager 1 one of the oldest space probes and the most distant human-made object from Earth is still doing science. The probe is well into the fourth decade of its mission and it hasn’t come near a planet since it flew past Saturn in 1980.

Remote control from Main Mission was used in certain circumstances: when pilots were incapacitated (Matter Of Life And Death, Ring Around The Moon, The Full Circle), in dangerous situations (The Last Sunset), during systems failure (The Seance Spectre, The Last Enemy) or when operations precluded a pilot (Breakaway, Space Brain, The Metamorph). The Eagle must be switched from "manual" to "automatic" to allow this to happen (Ring Around The Moon, Space Brain, Dragon's Domain, The Bringers Of Wonder part 1).
If the flight involved atmospheric operations, the pilots wore normal uniforms, but in space they wear spacesuits. In some circumstances it is arguable (Missing Link, The AB Chrysalis). The general principle is broken several times, notably by wearing uniforms in space operations in Space Brain, The Mark of Archanon, Brian The Brain, Space Warp, and The Dorcons.
Year 1 and Year 2 pilot sections.
The command module changed slightly during the series. The door was numbered 6, whatever the Eagle number, in the first 6 episodes (Breakaway, Matter Of Life And Death, Black Sun, Ring Around The Moon, Earthbound, Another Time, Another Place: the pod door was numbered 5 and the rear door 3). From Missing Link onwards the correct number appeared (War Games had a 9 in Eagle 1). Text might also be added to the number: "Reconnaissance Eagle 4" in Collision Course, "Rescue 4" in The Metamorph, The Exiles and All That Glisters.
Two control levels were sited by the pilots, but their functions changed regularly. The forward one (with two handles) operated the grab release in Collision Course, the manual/auto setting in Space Brain, the thrust in The Metamorph and the retro-rockets in Devil's Planet. The smaller one (with single handle) generally controlled the "main motors" (eg All That Glisters, The Immunity Syndrome), although in The Metamorph it controlled the boosters.
In The Metamorph, the controls for the spine boosters. The label on top is "Booster", with "Full Thrust" to the rear.
In Space Warp, a close up of the control levers, marked "Throttle" with "Manual" and "Automatic" - although both are moved at the same time, causing the engines to fire.
The forward control level in close up, as the MANUAL/ AUTO switch in Space Brain.
In All That Glisters, the rear control moves from "Booster" to "Full Thrust", and then the control levers start rising, as the Eagle takes off. Above the ground, the front control levers move from the front position to the rear, and the Eagle begins to descend.
The flight console screens were in colour in Breakaway only (although red text appears in Death's Other Dominion). An extension panel between the pilots appeared in The Metamorph and its screens were used in preference from then on.
The flight console in front of the pilots changed slightly after Earthbound to include the vacuum chamber controls, and were revised again for Year 2. The laser was usually controlled from one of several buttons behind a hatch, although this varied.
In Another Time, Another Place, two red clipboards can be seen resting against the black cockpit front wall, one of the few times it can be "seen" (see image thanks to Martin Daoust). The black front wall is present in Year 1 shots showing the area in front of the cockpit console. A black front bulkhead could function as a retractable "glare shield" since there must be windows directly in front of the seats as the pilots are blinded in several episodes (Breakaway, Ring Around The Moon, War Games).
In Space Brain and The Immunity Syndrome, a nuclear detonation control unit was placed on top of the console. Other items placed on the console include the space warp detector, discovered and used in the Eagle in Space Warp, and also seen in Devil's Planet and The Immunity Syndrome, and an Eagle remote control unit in Eagle 4 in Space Warp.
The flight console shifts forwards and backwards, as do the chairs. Sometimes the pilot chairs are against the back of the cockpit, at other times they have a gap behind them.
The console is only 2 feet/ 60 cm wide, and some camera views show beyond the edge. The sides of the set are extended with dark grey backing, usually in shadow to disguise the length of the set. Year Two shots are less consistent; in Rules Of Luton, even the edge of this extension is seen.
In The Beta Cloud, two shots show normal computer panels beyond the creature on the centre and starboard side. These are possibly payload avionics racks, installed in front of the copilot console if the Eagle is flown by a single pilot only.
Otherwise, we only see insert shots of either a window or a screen.
The window (only the port window is ever seen) features in Breakaway, Ring Around The Moon, Alpha Child, Collision Course, The Full Circle, Space Warp, The Seance Spectre, Devil's Planet and The Immunity Syndrome. The window(s) are supposedly located directly in front of the seated pilots while the screen is located between the pilots. They are never visible in side shots so they must be located in front of the extension of the set, i.e. some distance in front of the pilot console. This creates a continuity problem with the SFX miniature Eagle, so the "window" may in fact be a periscope like device. The use of fibre optics or prisms would allow the seated pilot an unobstructed view of the lunar surface during landing (the top windows would be largely useless for this purpose anyway).
The side computer panels were unchanged until The Mark Of Archanon when new panels included "Oxygen" and "Manual/Remote" on the port (pilot) side and "Engine Ignition" (or "Auxiliary- Engines On/Off") on the starboard (copilot) side. The panels were then shuffled as required through the series. In Devil's Planet, a "Laser Control" panel appeared on the starboard. In The Immunity Syndrome "Backup System" and "Standby System" panels were used on the starboard side. Some of the side panels seem to have Cyrillic text.
An unusual view from Seance Spectre.
The escape hatch in Devil's Planet.
The escape hatch control panel is seen by the door on the pilot's side. It only appears in Devil's Planet.

Choose your departure airport to be the hub and then the desired destination. When choosing destinations, pay close attention to the values of passengers & cargo per week, length / amount of runways, curfew, attractiveness value and of course competitors.
Buying / Leasing an aircraft
Menu: Office / Aircraft Market
Take care when selecting your aircraft, especially regarding the capacity (passengers / cargo) and fuel consumption - as this affects the profitability. To enable your aircraft to start and land at your selected airports (destinations) correctly, please be sure to check the range, MTOW (Maximum Take-Off Weight), runway for take off and landing and noise stage.
After you have bought / leased an aircraft you will find it in the menu Operations / Fleet / Inactive fleet. Please note: even if you buy / lease a passenger aircraft it will always come without seating at the time of acquisition. Therefore the next step (cabin setup) is very important, otherwise you will only be able to transport cargo in your as-of-yet empty plane.
Please keep in mind after successfully purchased an aircraft to check the location of the aircraft and (if necessary) to perform a ferry flight, so the aircaft's location will match your operational flights as scheduled. Before performing a ferry flight think about installing a cabin setup otherwise you'll have to wait with the cabin setup until mentioned ferry flight has been finished.
For details about buying aircraft see buying aircraft
For details about leasing aircraft see leasing aircraft
Comfort, entertainment and style along with cabin space, seating arrangement and flight attendants are determined here for each aircraft type. Costs for the Cabin Setups are displayed as soon as one has been saved. You can toy around with various ideas here and see how they would effect your bank account. The final costs will only be debited once you attach the Cabin Setup that you decided upon to your aircraft. You can do this in the menu Operations / Fleet / Inactive fleet by selecting the option Assign Cabin Setup in the drop down menu.
Menu: Office / Board Service
Here you will find the setup of the board service for your passengers. Please ensure the minimum flight duration corresponds with the meal offerings.
AC-Pool Execution Group
Menu: Operations / AC-Pool Execution Groups
If you want to use your aircraft in a dynamic aircraft pool with automated flight dispatching you have to create an Execution Group with definitions and limitations of your choice. If you prefer to use your aircraft with fix flight schedule (as in previous Aviosim versions) you can skip that part.
Aircraft operation decision
Menu: Operations / Fleet / Inactive Fleet
If you want or have to reposition your aircraft you can do this by selecting the option <Make a ferry flight> in the drop down menu. Be aware, during the whole ferry flight (2 hours pre-flight preparations plus real flight time) the aircraft won't be accessible for you. For further operations you have to decide now whether to use the aircraft as part of an aircraft pool for automated flight dispatching or as aircraft with a fix flight schedule (as in previous Aviosim versions). You can do this by either selecting the option <Add this aircraft to aircraft pool> or in the drop down menu.
Menu: Operations / Flight Numbers
Corresponding to your route rights you can define here your flight numbers. Then you have to decide here as well to perform that flights in an aircraft pool for automated flight dispatching or on an aircraft with a fix flight schedule (as in previous Aviosim versions).
Please keep in mind and plan ahead, that any new scheduled flights won't take effect on the same day. Every day before between 04:00 and 05:00 (UTC) the execution plan for the day after the following day will be generated by the system.
As per 11-MAY-2020 the flight plan creation has been changed. Please keep in mind and plan ahead, that any new scheduled flights may not take effect on the same day. Creation of new flights and/or changes on existing flights will take effect in much shorter time. The flight plan loader runs every hour and prepares all flights for the whole hour 12 hours ahead.
For example: before 11-MAY-2020: on Monday 04:00 UTC the execution plan (flight plan) has been generated and loaded for Tuesday (00:00 - 23:59 UTC). from 11-MAY-2020: on Monday 04:00 UTC the execution plan (flight plan) will be generated and loaded for Monday (15:00 - 15:59 UTC).
Menu: Operations / Fleet / Active Fleet
If you have decided to operate the aircraft and the flight number(s) with fixed flight plan you can now organize arrange that flight plan by selecting the option edit fix flight plan in the drop down menu. When arranging your flight plan keep in mind also to chose desired board service and maintenance sessions.
Menu: Menu: Office / Human Resources
The very first needed kind of staff is Human Resources Specialist to be able to hire staff, followd by PR-Specialist to be able to advertising.
Please be aware, all new hired staff will have your hub airport as their base airport, so keep an eye on hub's office building capacity.
Menu: Menu: Office / Public Relations
Public awareness is very important. Make sure to invest as much as possible in advertising or sponsoring to increase public awareness. Please keep in mind, existing awareness drops daily.
Menu: Menu: Office / Infra
To be able to manage an airline you need at least one office building. Make sure there is an office building at all airports of your route network and which covers the local demand by sufficient capacity. The more staff located at an airport the higher the demand. If you hire more staff than the building's capacity the mood of affected staff will drop.
To perform aircraft maintenance, maintenance buildings (hangar) are obligatory on each airport where maintenance is meant to be performed. If you schedule more aircraft maintenance than building's capacity the mood of affected staff will drop and may cause flight delays due to insufficient or missing infrastructure.
It is possible to buy or to lease buildings (such as all other infrastructure assets as well). | aerospace |

The lab on Feb. 3 awarded $1 million in contracts to underwrite two projects aimed at enhancing intricate control during 3D printing. The awards were made through America Makes, an additive manufacturing innovation institute in Youngstown, Ohio.
"[One] project will allow users to monitor prints at the layer level of a 3D print, so they can identify needed design improvements rapidly and produce accurate, repeatable and, above all, flight-worthy parts," says Neal Orringer, vice president of alliances and partnerships, 3D Systems (3DS), Rock Hill, S.C.
The method is selective laser sintering, or SLS: a plastic powder-bed fusion 3D printing technique that, in a layer-by-layer fashion, uses a laser to melt polymeric powders into a solid 3D shape, says Jennifer Fielding, government program manager at America Makes.
Fielding says 3DS will work on the SLS project in partnership with the University of Delaware's Center for Composite Manufacturing, the Sandia National Laboratory and Lockheed Martin Corp.
3DS claims it invented both SLS printing, which it commercialized in 1992, as well as the first commercialized 3D printing technology, called stereolithography.
Stereolithography is a process in which a laser traces portions of cross-sectional layers into a vat of UV-curable photopolymer. Using the technique, 3DS successfully printed a small cup in 1983.
The second funded partnership deals with 3DS's so-called direct metal 3D printing, a technique that, layer by layer, uses lasers to melt fine metallic powder into metal parts, says Orringer.
In partnership with Honeywell International and Northrop Grumman Corp., the firm will collaborate with the Applied Research Laboratory of Pennsylvania State University. The goal is to help users control almost every aspect of direct metal manufacturing at the layer level, says Orringer. | aerospace |

The 2010's were much needed relief for Raines Air. The 2008 recession had rocked the nation and Raines Air suffered economically. High fuel prices and a lack of capacity caused many scheduled flights to be cancelled. In the second quarter of 2009, executives started to consider a second bankruptcy filing, but these never came into fruition. By 2010, profitability had returned but the recession scarred the company for years afterward.
Global Aviation Holdings, the parent company of World Airways and North American Airlines, wasn't so lucky. They had overseen the bankruptcy of their largest airline, ATA Airlines, in the midst of the recession. It ceased operations and assets were sold to Southwest Airlines. The next few years were riddled with dwindling profits and disappearing contracts. The days of North American and World Airways were numbered, and fate was approaching fast.
Talks for a potential merger started between Raines Air Systems and Global Aviation Holdings in July of 2010. It was agreed that any transaction would be made in cash and Raines Air Systems would acquire Global Aviation Holdings fully, buying back stock and reshuffling assets. Finally, on November 23rd, 2010, Raines Air Systems announced that it had acquired Global Aviation Holdings for a 290 million all cash transaction.
World Airways would quickly merge with North American Airlines, using the aircraft acquired to replace their aging and old fleet. It would hand over the MD-11, DC-10, and 747 fleet to Raines Air. The passenger MD-11s were converted to cargo and redelivered to Raines Air, while the rest of the fleet was already converted to cargo. In total, there were 17 MD-11s, 3 747s and 1 DC-10 added to the Raines Air fleet.
N303WL was the only DC-10 carried over to Raines Air. It had previously served with Lufthansa, Condor and Continental before it was delivered to World Airways in 2001. Ownership was changed to Raines Air in March of 2011. N381WA used to fly for Korean Air, serving from 1992 to 1999 as a passenger aircraft and up until 2005 as a cargo aircraft, where it was sold to World Airways. Raines Air would acquire it in July of 2011.
The McDonnell Douglas aircraft lived a rather uneventful life at Raines. These aircraft mainly filled the gaps in capacity, so they were not used often. They were often unkempt and were maintenance intensive, gaining the nickname "Dirty Dogs" by mechanics. The aircraft were quickly retired and replaced by the 767 and 747.

The mission will allow researchers to “revolutionize work and life” on the ISS.
The Dragon spacecraft was launched to low Earth orbit with a Falcon 9 rocket, from the Space Launch Complex 40 at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in the state of Florida. A similar mission was achieved in 2012, when the Dragon delivered cargo to the ISS and then returned to earth.
This time, the SpaceX’s spacecraft carried almost 7,000 pounds (3,000 kilos) of cargo, including material to support scientific investigation for Expeditions 47 and 48. The latter include musculoskeletal research, chemistry and tech research that will help the NASA on the road to reach Mars.
NASA Deputy Administrator Dava Newman said in a press release that researchers will analyze how microbes affect the health of the ISS astronauts and their equipment. Expedition 47 began on March 1 and will extend to June 5.
“The cargo will allow investigators to use microgravity conditions to test the viability of expandable space habitats, assess the impact of antibodies on muscle wasting, use protein crystal growth to aid the design of new disease-fighting drugs” Mr. Newman added.
The Bigelow Expandable Activity Module (BEAM), which has arrived in the Dragon’s unpressurized trunk, will be attached to the ISS in the next five days. NASA said that astronauts will enter the module to recover sensor data.

Expandable habitats like the BEAM are designed to occupy less room on a rocket, however, once they are expanded they will provide astronauts with more space for living and working. Moreover, investigators will analyze the effectiveness of the new habitat at protecting against solar radiation, space debris and contamination, said NASA.
For instance, astronauts are affected by decreases in bone density and muscle mass when working on long missions if they do not receive a proper nutrition and make exercise. With new investigation carried to the ISS by the Dragon, researchers will be able to conduct tests on new drugs.
Elon Musk is committed to create reusable space technology
The SpaceX CEO took his Twitter on Friday to thank all those who have supported Tesla, SpaceX and SolarCity over the years. On the same day, he said at a NASA’s press conference that the same Falcon 9 rocket, used to launch the Dragon spacecraft, could be re-launched in May or June.
It would be the first time in history that an orbital rocket like the Falcon 9 travels to space for a second time. The entrepreneur has explained that after the rocket arrives to land, it will be rigorously checked to see if its engines are working. However, before SpaceX launches the vehicle again, the company will fire its engines 10 times in a row.

Wheelon, a physicist whose early work on satellites for the CIA in the 1960s helped lay the groundwork for a vast US arsenal of aerial spying machines, died last Friday in Santa Barbara, Calif. He was 84.
The cause was cancer.
Dr. Wheelon was 34 when he was given control of all the CIA’s scientific work in 1963 as head of the new Directorate of Science and Technology. His assignment was to revolutionize spying by developing aerial surveillance systems, which the government considered a national imperative after the Soviet Union launched the satellite Sputnik into space in 1957.
He worked on developing and deploying spy planes such as the U-2, the Lockheed A-12, and the SR71 Blackbird, and several generations of Corona reconnaissance satellites, which dropped film canisters that were then snapped up in midflight by aircraft.
Just as important, he shepherded research and development of new kinds of satellites that made digital pictures of objects on the ground as small as 5 inches across and then transmitted the images to Earth.
The aerial reconnaissance programs, most done in conjunction with the Air Force, were highly classified and many remain so. In a 1967 speech that he asked not be quoted, President Lyndon B. Johnson hailed the Corona program as being worth 10 times the $35 billion to $40 billion the United States had by then spent on its entire space program.
The first of a new generation of spy satellites was launched Dec. 19, 1976. A month later the satellite captured remarkably sharp, detailed pictures of the inauguration of Jimmy Carter as president. Less than three years later, spy satellite images gave warning of the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan.
Albert Dewell Wheelon was born in Moline, Ill. His father, Orville, invented a machine tool that changed the way aircraft parts were made and was the first aircraft maker to work extensively with titanium.
During World War II, Albert Wheelon worked at Douglas Aircraft, testing the seams and rivets on airplane fuel tanks. A gifted science student, he enrolled at Stanford at 16.
He earned a doctorate in physics from MIT at 23.
Dr. Wheelon set in motion a generation of spy satellites that could adjust direction, aiming at one target and then switching to another.
The CIA also developed radar-based imaging systems that could peer through clouds.
“It was as if an enormous floodlight had been turned on in a darkened warehouse,” Dr. Wheelon said in 1995. | aerospace |

“It gives me the greatest of pleasure to launch our own airline and, with it, the commencement of daily full service international flights between Timor-Leste and Australia,” the President said.
“These flights will fulfil a long-held desire of the Timorese people to have broader travel options and, more importantly, a choice of airlines which now includes our own carrier.”
The Timor Air daily flights will operate between the Timor-Leste capital Dili and Darwin in Australia.
The new airline is the initiative of Jeremias (Jerry) Desousa, a Timorese refugee from Timor-Leste during the civil war of 1975, in collaboration with well-established New Zealand and Australian carrier Vincent Aviation.
The President said that the establishment of the new airline and its contribution to his nation’s economy could not be overstated.
“The benefits to our commerce, trade, industry and indeed, the pride in our social development are immeasurable,” the President said.
“The creation of Timor Air provides national brand recognition vital to the promotion of our position within the international community. It is an all important ingredient in stimulating the development of our economy, society and national identity.”
The administration headquarters of the airline will be based in Dili with Vincent Aviation providing the technical expertise and training to ensure ongoing employment, self-sufficiency and, above all, the development of a viable tourism industry where profits will remain with the East Timorese people.
Timor Air already employs Timorese cabin crew, customer relations and ground staff, and will provide ongoing and expanding training and employment opportunities for Timorese people interested in the aviation and travel sectors.
Timor Air will operate Saab 340 aircraft, with the first service between Darwin and Dili return scheduled for 25th July 2011.
Bookings can be made on the Timor Air and Vincent Aviation websites, through Harvey World Travel and Flight Centre in Australia, or with GSA Sagres Travel in Dili.

The low-cost airline has been involved in numerous crashes in recent years, AeroInside historical incident reports reveal.
In 2017, one of the company’s Boeing jets collided with a Wings Air plane during a botched landing at Kualanamu airport on the island of Sumatra.
Nobody was injured in the collision.
In May of 2016, two Lion Air planes collided at Jakarta’s Soekarno-Hatta airport.
Only one month prior, a plane operated by Batik Air, which is a part of the Lion Group, clipped a TransNusa plane.
Three years earlier, in 2013, a Lion Air jet, piloted by a young, inexperienced rookie underestimated the runway while attempting to land the plane in Bali.
The plane, carrying 108 passengers crashed into the sea and subsequently split in two.
Several people were injured in the crash, but nobody was killed.

Indonesian rescue workers helped remove a section of a Lion Air Boeing 737 from the sea four days after it crashed while trying to land at Bali’s international airport (Pictured 2013 crash in Bali)
Several other documents confirm there have been multiple occasions involving miscalculation of runways, resulting in minor damage to the planes in 2012 and 2013.
At least 32 people were killed and another 61 injured when a Lion Air plane skidded off the runway in Central Java in 2014 after landing in bad weather.
Lion Air’s flight JT-610 was heading to Pangkal Pinang, an island north of Indonesia’s capital.
The domestic flight lost contact with air traffic control at about 6.33am local time (10.33am AEDT, 11.33pm BST).
Indonesia’s air travel industry is booming, but has a reputation of poor safety regulations and frequent incidents across the board.
The European Union barred Indonesian airlines from flying to Europe in 2007 due to safety concerns. Lion Air was allowed to resume flights to Europe as of June 2016, and the ban on all other Indonesian airlines was lifted earlier this year.
At least 32 people were killed and another 61 injured when a Lion Air plane skidded off the runway in Central Java in 2014 after landing in bad weather (pictured 2004 crash in Central Java)
It mirrors the reputation of Malaysian airlines, who have been tainted by the memory of missing MH370 and the shot down MH17.
On the 8th of March, 2014, Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 disappeared while flying from Malaysia to China, and was never located – nor were the passengers.
Only months later, in July of 2014, Malaysia Airlines Flight 17 was shot down on its path from Amsterdam to Malaysia while flying over Ukraine.
All 283 passengers and 15 crew on board died.
Outside of Lion Air’s troubling aviation history, accidents are still rife.
In August, a 12-year-old boy was the sole survivor of a plane crash that killed all eight other people on board a private aircraft.
Three years prior, in August of 2015, 54 people were killed after a Trigana aircraft crashed in poor weather conditions. | aerospace |

According to the news revealed by the technological marvel’s inventor herself on Tuesday, the eco-friendly aircraft engine is set to unveil in Q3-Q4 of 2020. Dr. Sara is working on this project since 2018. Her aim is to eliminate the negative impact of contrails on the stratosphere which is causing global warming.
What are Contrails and Why are They Harmful.?
Well, many people including me would not know what contrail means and what negative impact they have on the environment. So, let me make it simple. Contrails are simply the condensation trail left behind jet aircraft. They are formed when the hot humid air from jet exhaust mixes with environmental air of low vapor pressure and low temperature.
These thin white clouds (contrails) that engines draw across the sky are leaving a devastating mark on the climate. According to research, the global heat-trapping effect of contrail clouds will triple by 2050. If, the aircraft builders will not dramatically reduce these emissions. Also, other stats reveal contrails contribute about 15% to global warming. And, the number is increasing with every coming day. Well, now that’s a very alarming situation.
Eco-friendly Aircraft Engine will help to eliminate Pollution
To overcome this situation, Dr. Sara Qureshi decided to work on an aircraft engine that will be both eco-friendly and contrail-free. She turned her academic research at Cranfield University, UK into a pollution-free endeavor because of her strong and immense emotions towards a clean environment. And finally, she embarked on a mission to build the world’s first-ever eco-friendly aircraft engine. With this new design engine, the contrails will be turned into clean water. Surprisingly, it will even make artificial rain from the contrails formed.
According to Sara, the world aviation industry is not paying attention to develop environment-friendly aircraft engines. They are simply just ignoring the facts and are busy building fuel-efficient engines and extracting financial value from them. She also replied to Elon Musk’s trip to Mars program. She said that ” Unless you have a confirmed ticket” to the red planet, which does not have a livable atmosphere, Earth is the best bet and must be saved.”
The world’s first eco-friendly aircraft engine is currently under progress in Pakistan. It is expected to launch in late 2020. To sum up, this aircraft engine will have a great impact on reducing pollution and will make the world a better place to live for future generations to come.

HAC Program Manager Tom Mattis and other Hughesites who witnessed the launch described it as “beautiful, beautiful, adding “it was a glorious day for it.”
All the tests scheduled to be completed by Wednesday had been accomplished and all systems were operating well.
The 1600-pound experimental tactical communications satellite (TACSAT), two stories high and more than 8 feet in diameter, carries a cluster of antenna systems capable of radiating signals that can be received by all types of ground terminals including those with antennas as small as 1-foot in diameter.
Construction of the spin-stabilized spacecraft, built under a USAF contract totaling $30 million, was directed by the Air Force Space and Missile Systems Organization (SAMSO).
The giant satellite will be used by the Army, Navy and Air Force to test the feasibility of suing synchronous satellites for tactical communications with small mobile ground stations, aircraft, and ships at sea.
Mr. Mattis said the tests will determine whether hundreds of small mobile terminals with varying power levels can be used effectively with a single satellite. Another objective of the mission will be to determine the best frequency bands to be used for tactical service. The tests will be in the ultra high frequency (UHF) and the super high frequency (SHF) ranges.
The satellite’s communication antennas are mechanically “despun” to keep them pointed toward earth.
“The new satellite,” Mr. Mattis said, “will test for the first time in space a new Hughes concept of stabilization called “Gyrostat” which defies the theory that all spin-stabilized satellites must be “short and squat” and look like over-sized hat boxes.”
Heretofore, satellites have been designed for the inertia characteristics of a disc rather than a rod. The Gyrostat principle, however, is designed to permit stabilization of long slender bodies.
Some Parts Spin
The new principle holds that satellites can spin around their minor axes and permit some parts to spin while other parts remain stationary, with never a wobble in the spacecraft, he explained.
The concept not only permits variations in the length configuration of communications satellites, thus allowing full utilization of the booster shroud, but it also enable important payloads, such as antennas or telescopes to remain stationary so that they may be precisely pointed in any direction.
Don Williams was thought of by many people at Hughes Aircraft as an engineering genius. He was revered for his role in the design of SYNCOM and his patent that enabled attitude and orbital position control of a spin stabilized satellite. The patent that Don Williams obtained, assigned to Hughes Aircraft, was the keystone for the development of spin stabilized communications satellites built by Hughes over the 30 years following the patent application on August 21, 1964. Williams stunned his friends and colleagues at Hughes by taking his own life on February 21, 1966.
Williams was involved with the geostationary satellite design effort from the very beginning in early 1959. He was very concerned that Hughes Aircraft would retain any patent rights evolving from this design effort. In November 1959 he traveled to NASA Headquarters in Washington DC to brief NASA executives on the Hughes design activities. He began his briefing by stating that Hughes wished to retain all patent rights with his discussion of the Hughes design. NASA personnel agreed to this premise.
By early 1960 Hughes had a satellite design in place that was clearly prototypical for the yet-to-come SYNCOM. The mission plan utilized the four-stage NASA-developed SCOUT launch vehicle with an Altair solid motor as the spin stabilized unguided fourth stage. A fifth stage solid rocket added to SCOUT would boost the satellite into a geosynchronous transfer orbit. The satellite included a solid rocket motor to attain the final geostationary orbit. The mission plan included launch from the near-equatorial Jarvis Island about 1600 miles south of Hawaii.
In Reference 1, published in early 1960, Williams describes the mission plan and his control system. The system consists of a sun sensor with two slits at a 350 angle, used to determine satellite attitude relative to the sun and spin rate, and two jets, one parallel to and one normal to the satellite spin axis, used to precess the spin axis and control orbital velocity. These features are described a patent application dated April 18, 1960. Williams determined that jet performance for the selected valves was a thrust of 1.3 pounds and a specific impulse (ISP) of about 60 seconds for a system pressurized with 3000 dry nitrogen. At this time Williams had tested a lab model that would allow a claim for reduction to practice for his control system.
With the NASA contract received by Hughes in August 1961 the mission ground rules were modified to utilize a launch from Florida with the Delta launch vehicle. NASA adopted the name SYNCOM for this mission. A successful geostationary orbit was achieved with the launch of SYNCOM III on July 26, 1964.
On August 21, 1964 Williams reapplied for a patent on his control system. He states in this application, “This is a continuation in part of my prior co-pending application Ser. No. 22,733, filed Apr. 18, 1960 now abandoned. In order to disallow any NASA claims of rights to the patent the application describes in detail the satellite and mission as of the 1960 design prior to the NASA contract of August 1961. The application includes the sun sensor and jets of the control system as well as a nutation damper.
In 1966 the U. S. Patent Office allowed Hughes patent claim. However, NASA requested that the patent be issued to NASA as it was first used on NASA satellite. The Court of Customs and Appeals ruled Hughes owned the patent and the U. S. Patent 3758051 Velocity Control and Orientation of a Spin Stabilized Body, was granted on September 11, 1973. The first page of the patent is shown below.
In November 1973 Hughes filed suit in U. S. Court of Claims charging that the government had used the patent without authority and sought compensation. The first trial in 1976-77 ended when the judge was disqualified. The next trial in 1979 ruled for NASA. This was appealed and the appeals court ruled that the judge had erred and returned the case to the lower court. In 1982 the court ruled in Hughes favor but limited royalties only to those satellites that were under control from the ground. This was appealed by Hughes and in 1983 the Appeals Court ruled that the patent also applied to satellites that controlled by onboard computers. This expanded the royalties claim to military as well as NASA satellites.
In February 1988 a trial in the U. S. Court of Claims, under Judge James Turner began to determine royalty payments to Hughes. To be determined: what satellites infringed the patent, what are reasonable royalties, and what is the interest on the unpaid royalties going back as far as 1963. Hughes asks for royalties of 15% for a total of $1.2 billion on 100 satellites. Early in the trial Judge Turner, court clerks, attorneys, and reporters made a visit to the Hughes high bay in El Segundo. After donning the obligatory smocks they heard Dr, Albert Wheelon, Hughes CEO, describe in detail the satellite assembly process and the operations required to maintain a satellite in orbit.
During the trial it was revealed that in 1974 Hughes offered licenses for the use of the Williams patent to Philco-Ford, TRW and Messerschmitt-Bolkow-Blohn for 2 to 5% of the satellite cost. Hughes at the time had filed suit against Philco-Ford for patent infringement. This suit was settled out-of-court with a payment rumored to be $75 million. This seriously undermined Hughes claim for a 15% royalty.
Patent rights expire in 17 years or September 1990 for the Williams patent. It was rumored that some government satellite programs might be delayed past this date to avoid any patent royalty liability.
Judge Turner finally ruled that 81 satellites violated the patent and had a value of $3.6 billion with a royalty rate of 1% or $36 million. Added to this is $118 million for delay compensation for loss of unpaid royalties for a total of $154 million. The 81 satellites were all government and about 75% were military.
Hughes appealed the judgment of the United States Court of Federal Claims awarding Hughes compensation based on a 1% royalty rate. On June 19, 1996 the U. S. Court of Appeals affirmed that a 1% royalty was the court determined that a royalty rate of 1% would be reasonable.
On March 1, 1999 the U. S. Supreme Court denied a government petition to review Judge Turner’s decision for Hughes. Federal Claims Court entered judgment for Hughes on March 12,1999. Payment of $154 million was made to Hughes on March 30, 1999.
Final note: patent royalties are taxable as ordinary income less, of course, litigation expenses.

COMSATBw-1 is a secure relay platform that will play an important role in the German Bundeswehr’s (German armed forces) concept for network-centric operations. It is to handle secure information for use by units on deployed missions – including voice, fax, data, video and multimedia applications – as the backbone of a strategic command infrastructure and interface with the tactical arms of the German Armed Forces. The overall industrial responsibility for this secure communication program is with Milsat Services (a 75% Astrium/25% subsidiary of ND SatCom Defence). The COMSATBw-1 spacecraft was delivered to French Guiana this week, flown in aboard a chartered Antonov An-124 cargo jetliner that landed at Cayenne’s Rochambeau International Airport. It was then transferred by road to the Spaceport’s payload preparation facility, which is designed to provide total security in the processing of such sensitive satellites. EADS Astrium is prime contractor for the German military program’s space segment, and has booked its two spacecraft for Arianespace launches – beginning with COMSATBw-1 on the upcoming Ariane 5 flight.
With a liftoff mass of 2,500 kg. at launch and a design life of 15 years, the satellites will operate in geostationary orbit and provide communication services over an area stretching from America to eastern Asia. COMSATBw-1 will be launched on Ariane 5’s late September mission along with the Amazonas 2 satellite, which arrived in French Guiana last week and is undergoing pre-launch processing in the S5 facility. Built by EADS Astrium using the Eurostar E3000 spacecraft bus, Amazonas 2 will weigh approximately 5,500 kg. at liftoff and is to be operated by the Spanish-based HISPASAT telecommunications operator. It is designed to provide relay capacity over the Americas with a coverage area extending from Alaska to Tierra del Fuego. Amazonas 2 carries 54 Ku-band transponders and 10 C-band transponders for the relay of a wide range of communications services, including direct-to-home television. The upcoming flight with Amazonas 2 and COMSATBw-1 is part of Arianespace’s busiest launch year for Ariane 5 since its 1999 commercial service introduction. A total of seven missions are planned with the workhorse launcher during 2009, with four of these already performed to date – orbiting a combined payload mass of more than 26,000 kg. | aerospace |

No one who witnessed the lunar landing will ever forget it. Breathtaking both in the scope of its vision and the exhilaration of the human emotions it captures, For All Mankind
is the story of the 24 men who traveled to the Moon-told in their words, in their voices, using the images of their experiences. Criterion is proud to present Al Reinert's award-winning documentary in a new special edition.
And you thought Titanic
was pricey--this dazzling documentary comes courtesy of the hundreds of millions of dollars NASA spent on moon shots, ethereally gorgeous footage that had never been seen until journalist Al Reinert, who had covered NASA for magazines prior to this film, got his hands on it. (Reinert subsequently coscripted Ron Howard's acclaimed Apollo 13
Reinert sifted through 6 million feet of film footage and 80 hours of interviews with astronauts, which serve as humble voice-overs for the lyrical imagery, and he assembled all this into a unique experience which was nominated for a Best Documentary Oscar. Brian Eno's lovely, atmospheric score evokes the sense of peace the astronauts say they felt while floating through space; the film's spiritual quality is as affecting as its breathtaking visuals. "There was a great deal of difficulty paying attention to what our job was," admits one astronaut, and you can see why.
A major caveat--while this is mind-blowing on the big screen, it may be less impressive on your TV. Or, you can simply sit up real close. Who would've guessed that NASA was also a training ground for cinematographers? --David Kronke

The correct answer here is B -- the weight of the rocket decreases.
The point of this question appears to be the difference between weight and mass. Mass is a measure of the amount that is in an object. By definition, then, the mass of the rocket would not change as it moved away from Earth (not including, of course, the fuel it is burning).
However, weight is a measure of how strongly gravity pulls on a given object. As the rocket moves away from Earth, the pull of the Earth's gravity on the rocket weakens. So the weight of the rocket decreases.
Of course, if the rocket goes far enough and in the right direction, it might get heavier again as it comes under the influence of the gravitational attraction of some other body.
The force between the rocket and the earth if the gravitational attraction which is proportional to the gravitational constant, G times Mass of earth,M and mass of the rocket, m divided by the square of the distance between them (that is ,the distance between their centre of masses) . On the surface of earth, R = radius of earth and this force is equal to GMm/R^2 = 6.673*5.8*10^24/(6137000)^2 = 9.83m/s^2 or g, the acceleration due to gravity and it is also mg, the weight on the surface of earth. But as the the rocket goes up, the R increases and the gravitational attraction between the rocket and the earth, which nothing but the weight of the rocket at the distance R from earth, goes inversely proportional to the square of the distance . That is, the weight of the rocket is inversely proportional R^2. Thus the weight reduces as the rocket goes away from the earth.
B. The weight of the rocket decreases. | aerospace |

As the Airbus A380 takes to the skies at Asian Aerospace this week, a wide
variety of technology from Goodrich Corporation (NYSE: GR) will be on board.
Goodrich is one of the world's largest suppliers of landing systems and
provides both the main body and wing landing gear for the A380. Though
Goodrich was already a major supplier for Airbus, it was the first time the
company had been selected to provide landing gear for an Airbus aircraft. The
components for the landing gear system are produced by Goodrich's Landing Gear
division and involve manufacturing facilities in Oakville, Ontario, Canada;
Cleveland, Ohio; Tullahoma, Tennessee; and Krosno, Poland. The final gear
integration takes place at the Goodrich facility in Toulouse, France before
delivery to Airbus' final assembly line.
Along with providing state of the art main landing gear for the A380,
Goodrich is also launching the next generation of evacuation systems with its
A380 work package. Goodrich will supply 16 evacuation slide systems per

During the nine-year program, the U.S. beat the Soviet Union in the historic race to put a man on the Moon. Now, it seems that Russia not only has plans to finally cross the finish line, but to stay for good.
The Moon has long been a monolith for the development of Earth’s space programs.
In the late 1950s, even the U.S. Army planned to install an army base on the surface of the Moon.
The Soviets – the U.S.’s then greatest competitor in the field – also worked on a lunar base in the mid-1970s called the KLE Complex.
Other failed projects came and went during the Cold War arms race, but once the U.S. reached the Moon, the focus shifted to other projects like colonizing Mars.
But, Russia hasn’t abandoned the Moon. Roscosmos, the Russian Federation’s official Space Agency, has announced plans to land on the Moon between 2025 and 2045.
“Russia is also working to connect the Moon to the International Space Station via a shuttle called Ryvok.”
Roscosmos’s Plans for the Moon
Russian scientists dug up a gravity machine from the Soviet era to help train cosmonauts in Moon-like environments. RSC Energia, using 1970s Selen technology, is also working on a new lunar suit that will facilitate movement on the surface of the Moon. Because lunar astronauts had to be helped up after a fall, Roscosmos hopes to improve the cosmonaut’s agility and ability to move around freely and safely.
Russia wants to use this lunar base for scientific research and to begin exploiting raw materials. In recent years, Russian researchers have been analyzing geographical data accumulated to determine the best location for the lunar base. While the hope is to house a dozen cosmonauts, the mission will begin with just two.
Russia is also working to connect the Moon to the International Space Station (“ISS”) via a shuttle called Ryvok. Small, compact and expensive, this shuttle could potentially make the one-way journey to the Moon in five days. | aerospace |

China plans to conduct its Shenzhou XIII manned space flight this month, sending three astronauts to stay six months inside the country’s Tiangong space station.
During their mission, the astronauts, whose names have yet to be disclosed, will be mainly tasked with demonstrating and testing key technologies involved in the assembly and future operations of the Chinese space station, according to Zhou Yaqiang, a chief designer at the China Manned Space Agency’s Technical Bureau.
“Specifically speaking, they will verify the equipment and technologies for longtime flight with the station. Like their peers in the Shenzhou XII mission, they will carry out spacewalks to test the robotic arm and other instruments for extravehicular activities, and will also conduct scientific experiments to accumulate experience for the station’s construction and operations,” Zhou said.
Shenzhou XIII will be the fourth spacecraft to visit China’s permanent space station, named Tiangong, or Heavenly Palace, and also the second crewed ship to transport astronauts to the orbiting outpost.
The first astronauts inside Tiangong-Major General Nie Haisheng, Major General Liu Boming and Senior Colonel Tang Hongbo-finished their 92-day Shenzhou XII mission in mid-September.
They flew 90 days with Tiangong and made two spacewalks to use a large robotic arm and other equipment to install and adjust devices outside the station. They also performed a number of scientific experiments and technological tests, and made video calls with President Xi Jinping and hundreds of researchers, teachers and students in Hong Kong.
Their work was expected to enable the China Manned Space Agency to accumulate experience and check the capability, performance and compatibility of systems involved in the Tiangong space station program to prepare for the next steps in its construction.
One of China’s most challenging and sophisticated space endeavors, Tiangong will consist of three main components-a core module attached to two space labs-with a combined weight of nearly 70 metric tons. The entire station is set to work for about 15 years in a low-Earth orbit about 400 kilometers above the planet.
The station’s core module-Tianhe, or Harmony of Heavens-was lifted by a Long March 5B heavy-lift rocket at the Wenchang Space Launch Center in Hainan province in late April.
The biggest and heaviest spacecraft China has ever constructed, Tianhe is 16.6 meters long and has a diameter of 4.2 meters. The craft’s weight, at 22.5 tons, is equal to the combined weight of 15 standard-size automobiles. It has three parts: a connecting section, a life-support and control section, and a resources section.
The craft is now connected with the Tianzhou 2 robotic cargo ship that was launched from the Wenchang facility in late May and the Tianzhou 3, which was lifted from Wenchang last month.
In 2022, two large space labs will be launched to connect with the core module. Moreover, two manned missions and two robotic cargo flights will be made that year to continue construction of the Tiangong station, which is scheduled to become complete and start formal operation around the end of 2022.
Upon its completion, Tiangong will be manned regularly by groups of three astronauts in periods lasting several months. During handovers to new three-astronaut groups, the station will accommodate up to six astronauts.
In April 1971, the former Soviet Union became the first in the world to operate a space station with the deployment of its Salyut 1 station in a low-Earth orbit. Since then, 10 space stations have been launched and most of them were built by the Soviet Union.
Before Tiangong, the only operational station was the International Space Station, a joint effort by several national space agencies including the United States’ NASA and Russia’s Roscosmos. However, China has been excluded from the project since its very beginning mainly because of US objections.
The first part of the 419-ton ISS, the largest and heaviest spacecraft mankind has ever built, was launched in 1998 by a Russian rocket, and since then the station has gradually taken shape as more components were lifted and assembled.
The station was completed in 2011 and is reportedly set to retire by the end of the decade, which will likely leave the Tiangong as the only operational station until the next station is constructed in orbit.
Hao Chun, director of the China Manned Space Agency, has said his agency will strive to ensure that it makes the best use of the Tiangong to advance space science, technology and application.
He said scientists will be able to take advantage of the facility’s unique environment to perform mutation breeding experiments, produce special medicines and create new materials, thus generating scientific, technological and economic benefits.
In addition, the agency has signed agreements with the United Nations Office for Outer Space Affairs on space station cooperation. The two organizations have jointly issued a statement inviting scientists from around the world to submit their research proposals for an opportunity to conduct their own experiments aboard the Chinese station.
“As of now, 17 nations have confirmed their participation in nine scientific tasks on our station, with related work proceeding well,” Hao told China Daily in an earlier interview. “We will continue working with the UN’s outer space office to solicit proposals for future scientific collaborations.”
The official said there will be more than 20 cabinets aboard the station reserved for scientific instruments that were designed in accordance with international standards, adding that they will be available for collaborators.
Moreover, Hao said there definitely will be foreign astronauts on the Chinese station.
Zhao Lijian, a spokesman for the Foreign Ministry, said at a daily briefing after the Shenzhou XII crew returned to Earth that China’s manned space programs have contributed greatly to mankind’s peaceful development of outer space, and the country will continue broadening and deepening its cooperation and communication with the international community to build the Chinese space station into a shared laboratory to bring benefits to all people on the globe.
To support the Tiangong program, the Astronaut Center of China has been training the third group of Chinese astronauts since October 2020.
The 18 new astronauts-17 men and one woman-are in three groups: seven will become spacecraft pilots, another seven will be space flight engineers and the last four mission payload specialists, according to the China Manned Space Agency.
They are undergoing systematic and sophisticated training before qualifying for space missions, it said.
Before them, China had 21 astronauts from two generations. Among them, 12 have taken part in space flights during seven missions. Several in the two generations who had not taken part in any space flight during their service have retired.
The selection for the third-generation team began in May 2018 and finished in September 2020, involving three rounds of tests. About 2,500 applicants participated in the process.
The new spaceship pilots were chosen from aviators from the People’s Liberation Army Air Force. The space flight engineers are former researchers or technicians in aeronautics, astronautics and other related fields, while mission payload specialists were selected from those involved in space science and applications for China’s manned space program.
In addition, Chinese engineers are developing a next-generation crewed vehicle that is expected to feature world-class designs and technologies, high reliability and flexibility, reusability and multiple functions.
It will be tasked with serving Tiangong’s future operations as well as the country’s manned lunar missions that are being planned by scientists.
The new craft will consist of two major parts-a reentry module that will house astronauts and serve as the control center for the entire craft during a space flight, and a service module that will contain power and propulsion systems.
The vehicle will have a length of nearly 9 meters, a diameter of 4.5 meters and a weight of 22 tons.
As a major symbol of the space age, manned space flight first emerged in China’s space plans in the mid-1960s.
Chinese scientists and engineers soon began research and development for a crewed spaceship and started training a small group of astronaut candidates selected from elite Air Force pilots. All of their work was kept secret.
However, the endeavor had to be stopped in the mid-1970s due to financing and technological obstacles.
From the mid-1980s, Chinese scientists began to urge the government to consider reopening the manned space program as they were convinced that it would be crucial to the future of the country’s space industry.
In August 1992, a special government committee decided that China will develop manned spacecraft and train astronauts and the ultimate goal is to assemble and operate a space station in the near future. The plan was approved in September that year by the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China Central Committee, officially unfolding the nation’s manned space program that involves hundreds of thousands of researchers, engineers and technicians.
On Oct 15, 2003, the country carried out its first manned space flight, sending Yang Liwei on a 21-hour journey around the mother planet in the Shenzhou V spacecraft.
Since then, China has conducted seven manned space flights, which totaled 160 days and sent 12 Chinese astronauts into orbit.

Now, as Amazon, and other large retailers, aim for widespread deployment of drones for the delivery of goods to consumers, it is increasingly clear that advanced weather data is vital for ensuring that these delivery drones can fly weather-sensitive missions safely and efficiently. While weather is just one of the challenges commercial drones will face, in addition to things like birds and other drones, (which will require advanced navigation systems and a lot of coordination, particularly since the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) estimates that commercial drones will reach 1.6 million by 2021), weather data will in many ways dictate the speed and scope of commercial drone deployment. Advanced weather data can be leveraged for commercial drone operations for:
Pre-Flight Planning: Drone operations will require operators to forecast weather with hyper-local precision to determine where the sky will be clear, rainy or snowy, or, even more importantly, where severe weather is happening. With more advanced weather data, drone operations will be safer and more efficient. Additionally, businesses in oil and gas, construction, government, energy, and other weather-sensitive industries can leverage advanced weather data for safe site surveying, better response to disasters in emergencies and protection of their investments.
In-Flight Operations: Weather data impacts a drone’s path direction, flight elevation, mission duration and other in-flight variables. Wind-speed is a particularly critical component for smooth drone missions. For example, if there is significant wind or rain, a drone doesn’t operate effectively especially if the drone is trying to capture video or photograph –the video or photographs could be unusable with too much wind or rain.
Post-Flight Analysis: Data collected from drone missions paired with weather data can help operators understand how weather impacts certain sites and areas over time. Advanced weather data can help to not only guide commercial drone navigation, but some drones themselves will become microscopic sensors to detect hyper-local, micro-accurate weather patterns down to the minute.
Overall, by analyzing advanced weather data, commercial drone operations will improve and also help to ensure future drone mission success. | aerospace |

Solving two problems at once is bound to generate feelings of accomplishment, and Air Evac Lifeteam found a way to accomplish this on a large scale with the able assistance of DART Aerospace.
Air Evac Lifeteam, which operates more than 140 air medical bases in 15 states, needed to find some weight savings after retrofit enhancements to its Bell 206 fleet. So Air Evac came up with the perfect idea to reduce the weight of its 206 Series rotorcraft. Cutting the skid landing gear height not only reduced the total weight by 20-30 pounds, but also reduced aircrew back strains and injuries by making it easier for crew members to load patients. Another bonus was the removal of the foot-high step bar so crew members no longer had to step over it while loading patients.
While Air Evac’s fleet is dominated by the 206 Series, it also includes 16 Bell 407s, six Airbus AS350B2s, and two Eurocopter EC130s, said Jason Althoff, Air Evac Lifeteam director of maintenance support services. Air Evac didn’t retrofit the others because the 407 is heavier and sits lower, the 130 has no height issues, and the 350 has a larger floor space, he said. The 130 and 350 both load on the floor, too.
Air Evac went to DART, one of the world’s largest rotorcraft accessories providers with more than 850 supplemental type certificates (STCs), to help turn the idea for the 206L mid-sized skids into reality. While Air Evac had previously purchased replacement parts from DART, the mid-height landing gear project was their first real joint partnership, said David Shepherd, DART’s VP of certifications who has been with the company for 23 years. “We’ve always been a fan of DART landing gear for 206Ls,” Althoff said. “And DART has always been open to the development of new things.”
The Air Evac 206L skid gear partnership began in October 2010, and it was by far DART’s largest landing gear contract at the time. “That was a big opportunity for us,” Shepherd recalled. “It was definitely a game changer.” With a shared R&D cost plan and minimum purchase commitment from Air Evac, the first task was to define the new skid gear height. VIP transports tend to be low, while most utility rotorcraft sit high so they can land in unimproved areas. Air Evac wanted something in between. Air Evac maintenance crews placed a 206L on jacks and lifted it up and down so various Air Evac experts could analyze different heights, then handed a recommendation to DART, Shepherd said. “Once we determined that mid-skids were the direction we wanted to go, DART enthusiastically took on the project and worked to create a solution customized for us,” said Shelly Schneider, Air Evac Lifeteam public relations manager.
DART’s team then created a prototype design, taking into account the need for 2-4 inches of deflection in the landing gear under load, and the need to retain height for undeveloped landing sites. Skid heights for the 206L range from 19 to 28 inches from the ground to the top of the cross tubes, and DART’s design went with the mid-range height of 23 inches, Shepherd said. Air Evac maintenance and aircrews evaluated the prototype with weight on the gear and confirmed it was what they were looking for. That part of the process took about 3-4 months.
Mother Nature produced the only blip in the process with a snowstorm on the February 2011 prototype demonstration day in West Plains, Missouri, Shepherd recalled. Air Evac sent its employees home but those involved in the demo decided to stay. Then when DART officials couldn’t fly home out of Springfield, Mo., Air Evac folks lent them an Air Evac car to drive to Memphis to catch another flight. “It was a miracle we got the demo done,” Shepherd said.
Then came the STC process with comparative deflection, drop and structural tests. DART submitted the required reports and the request to amend an existing STC to Transport Canada for its approval, which also covered the FAA through a bilateral agreement. The STC update process took 3-4 months after the prototype had been accepted by Air Evac, Shepherd said. So from start to finish, this project was successfully completed in just 7-8 months. DART then started delivering skids to Air Evac.
“DART is willing to customize orders for us,” Schneider said. “They even painted it in a matte blue, so we didn’t have to repaint it. That is a huge help for us.” Air Evac maintenance crews then spent about six years retrofitting Air Evac’s 206L Series fleet of 124 rotorcraft with air conditioning and DART’s mid-skids, saving down time with simultaneous upgrades. The work was completed about a year ago, Althoff said.
“DART played a significant role in every aspect of the project – from creation through production,” Schneider said.
“It was a great team effort,” Shepherd added. “Everybody was focused.”
The air conditioning makes patients more comfortable and also makes it easier to keep certain medications at a more constant temperature, while the mid-sized skids already have significantly reduced crewmembers’ back strains and worker’s comp claims, Air Evac officials said. In 2013, back strains/injuries accounted for 33 percent of all Air Evac injuries; by 2018, they added up to just 28 percent. “Air Evac Lifeteam has seen a reduction in back injuries and slips/trips/falls because the step is no longer in the way of loading/unloading patients, and because crews do not have to lift/lower the patient as high,” Schneider confirmed.
Perhaps the best news comes from the crewmembers themselves. “For me, the mid-height skids really reduce the challenges we have with loading people,” said Jon Fannin, Air Evac Lifeteam 118 base clinical lead in Morgan County, Kentucky. “With the full-height skids we had to lift the patient significantly above our waist and off of the stretcher in order to put them in the aircraft. With the change in height of our helicopter, loading became a much more efficient process, which helps us get our patients to the care they need quicker.”
Another partnership project on the way
After the Air Evac partnership started, DART took on an even larger skid replacement project for the U.S. military’s fleet of about 160 TH-67s at Fort Rucker, Alabama, adding better run-on landing wear plates. DART was able to include new skid tubes for a turnkey solution, Shepherd said.
DART also has developed numerous ways to help operators reduce helicopter weight. On the AW139, for example, DART can replace all the overhead panels to cut about 40 pounds. And DART’s emergency float bags use helium, which is lighter than the nitrogen used by some others. Also, DART often integrates the life raft into the float, which saves weight and space over a typical cabin-mounted life raft. Such solutions are likely to be even more important in the future as patient weights continue to expand; men weighed an average of 166 in the 1960s compared to 196 today. Althoff said increasing load capacity to deal with this issue is important, too. Air Evac and DART now are working together on a new project that’s yet to be revealed to the public. Judging by the results of their skid project, it’s sure to be a successful team effort. | aerospace |

The Alfred University team, named “Aerosaxon,” competed in the Textron Aviation/Raytheon Missile System Student Design Build Fly (DBF) competition. The international competition, sponsored by the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA) was held April 11-14 in Tuscon, Arizona. Alfred University, which had a team entered in the event for just the second time, placed 11th out of 104 entrants.
The competition required student teams to design, fabricate and demonstrate the flight capabilities of an unmanned, electric-powered, radio-controlled aircraft. Teams were required to use their aircraft to complete various missions developed by the AIAA Foundation, Textron Aviation and Raytheon Missile Systems. The contest aims to provide real-world aircraft design experience for engineering students by giving them an opportunity to validate their analytic studies.
Eleven mechanical engineering students comprised Alfred University’s team. Aaron Smith, senior from Woodstock, CT, served as pilot and along with Ryan Fordham, senior from Canandaigua, N.Y., served as team leaders. Other team members were Gabriel Smith, senior from Campbell, N.Y.; Richard Berger, senior from New Paltz, N.Y.; David Gong, senior from New York City; Cullen McDowell, senior from Jamestown, N.Y.; Ladji Timite, junior from the Bronx, N.Y.; Justin Smith, junior from Woodstock, Conn.; Justin Jarmer, first-year from Flagstaff, Arizona; Timothy Mahany, junior from Orchard Park, N.Y.; and Daniel Napolitano, junior from Williamsburg, Va.
“We missed top 10, but I believe this is huge achievement as we were competing against some large, major schools,” said Seong-Jin Lee, assistant professor of mechanical engineering, who supervised Alfred University team entered in the competition.
The entire Aerosaxon team traveled to Arizona for the DBF competition, with team members raising funds to pay for the trip and for materials needed to build the airplane. Micron Industries of Rochester donated $1,000 and Marshall Boxes of Rochester built and donated a customized crate used to transport the airplane from Alfred to Arizona. Lee offered his appreciation to Gabrielle Gaustad, dean of the Inamori School of Engineering, and W. Richard Stephens, provost, for supporting the students in their endeavor. | aerospace |

The spacecraft had been due to collect two kilograms (4.5 pounds) of material from an area known as Oceanus Procellarum — or Ocean of Storms — a vast lava plain, according to the science journal Nature.
Scientists hope the samples will help them learn about the Moon’s origins, formation and volcanic activity on its surface.
The Chang’e-5 spacecraft, named after the mythical Chinese moon goddess, landed on the moon Tuesday and has now completed its gathering of lunar rocks and soil, the China National Space Administration said.
If successful, China will be only the third country to have retrieved samples from the Moon, following the United States and the Soviet Union in the 1960s and 1970s. | aerospace |

Here’s a selection of game changing strategies to help airlines improve internal operations and reduce costs.
Adopt lean maintenance
Lean maintenance is fundamentally proactive, preventative and productive maintenance. It involves preplanning a maintenance strategy in order to avoid huge system failures and AOG situations.
That means everyone within an airlines maintenance operations know exactly where they are meant to be at what time, and if anything needs specific attention there is a process in place to ensure that its dealt with in the most proficient manner possible.
The more an airline plans and streamlines its maintenance processes the more money it can save.
By adopting lean techniques, an airline can benefit from less waste, more control and more flexibility, as well as the ability to utilise the talents of its workforce.
By getting the most out of a workforce and using their expertise effectively, operators are able to make jobs easier, meaning less time is spent figuring out what to do and instead everyone knows what to do so man-hours are used effectively, which allows for a continuous flow in the workplace.
If you’d like to know more about to get smart in the workplace and minimise downtime, click here.
Be strategic with fleet selection
In addition to lean maintenance, airlines can hugely benefit from the commonality between some aircraft families and operating one-family fleets.
For example, Southwest Airlines operates a fleet of Boeing 737s, which means the U.S operator can benefit from only ever having to invest in one spare parts pool and even saves money when it comes to training staff (cabin crew, pilots, engineers).
But sometimes operating just one type of aircraft is not enough, especially for larger airlines like Qatar Airways who want to make jaws drop with their impressive and varied fleet. Plus, the temptation of the next-gen aircraft is just too hard to resist.
However, even the airlines that operate different models can benefit from reduced costs. An operator that flies aircraft belonging to Airbus’ fly-by-wire family, which includes the A318, A319, A320, A321, A330, A340, A380 and A350 XWB, can cut back on training and maintenance costs thanks to the commonality feature achieved from the technology.
According to Airbus, airlines that operate its aircraft that feature the technology can enjoy weight saving, fuel savings, lower maintenance costs and greater precision in flying.
Common Type Ratings are also great ways for airlines to reduced their outgoings; the A350 XWB has recently been awarded a Common Type Rating with the A330, meaning pilots that can fly the A330 are able to fly Airbus’ more recent invention.
Have transparent fleet operations
Whether an operator is a low cost carrier or mainline carrier, it’s important for them to have a clear overview of all their fleet operations especially when operating daily flights and thousands of customers.
Without doubt, data is key to the success of any business and for airlines managing this data effectively is of paramount importance and can provide valuable insight into which things are working, which are not, and any areas that can be improved for efficiency.
So, adopting a software tool that is easy to use and comprehensive enough to manage an airline’s fleet operations is an invaluable tool.
Imagine being able to host OEM documentation, planning tools for scheduled and unscheduled maintenance and data on the day-to-day technical operation of a fleet on one singular platform…

Interesting facts about space.
The ceremonies generally included playing of games, beating of drums, singing, dancing, storytelling, dining and chit chat. The whole community actively took part in the ceremonies. The dances they performed seemed like a huge network of dance groups changing from one array to another every few seconds, following very thoughtfully choreographed rhythmic patterns. This was done very skillfully and with many flourishes. The people were in physical contact with each other during the entire dancing act. Vivid dancing patterns were accompanied by appropriate sound effects. The songs that were sung and the dances that were performed were the same at every city center of the moon where these parties were held. These have not changed over the many thousands of years past, just like the seasonal Christmas songs played on the radio every year.

Banded, beautiful, and a bewitching sapphire blue, the ice-giant planet Neptune is the most distant major planet from our Star--and it is also circled by a bizarre large moon that may not have been born a moon at all. Neptune's moon, Triton, may really be an uninvited guest--the alien changeling child, taken in from the cold, by its current parent-planet, Neptune. Triton shows features that hauntingly resemble those seen on the dwarf planet Pluto, an icy denizen of the remote Kuiper Belt. The Kuiper Belt is a reservoir of a multitude of sparkling icy comet nuclei, as well as other frozen bodies--some large, some small--situated in a ring around our Sun beyond Neptune's orbit. Triton and Pluto share roughly the same density and bulk composition, as well as similar atmospheres--and they both travel in unusual orbits. Also, Neptune's system of moons is not what astronomers expect for a gaseous ice-giant planet, inhabiting the outer Solar System. In November 2017, a team of astronomers announced that they have explored the possibility that Neptune was really born with an ordinary system of moons that was later destroyed when it captured its murderous giant moon, Triton.
Poor Pluto was discovered by the American Clyde Tombaugh in 1930, and it was appropriately named after the ancient Roman god of the underworld, shrouded as it is in the perpetual darkness of our Solar System's distant deep freeze. Charon was discovered in 1978 by the astronomer James Christy, also an American.

For a long time, planetary scientists thought that in the aftermath of the Moon-forming collision, hydrogen dissociated from water molecules. According to this scenario, both water and other elements that have low boiling temperatures (volatile elements), escaped from the disk and were lost forever to space. This model would form a volatile-element-depleted and bone-dry Moon. At the time, this scenario seemed to be consistent with earlier analyses of lunar samples.
Born approximately 4.51 billion years ago, Earth's companion world formed soon after our own planet's birth in the primordial Solar System. The average separation between Earth and Moon is about 238,000 miles (1.28 light-seconds), and it is locked in synchronous rotation with Earth--meaning that it always shows us the same face. The near-side of our Moon is known for its bewitching dark volcanic maria (Latin for seas) that are located between large impact craters, as well as for its very ancient, bright crustal highlands. The lunar surface is really extremely dark--even though it appears to be very bright in the night sky above our planet--with a reflectance only a bit higher than that of old asphalt. The prominent position of our lunar companion in the dark midnight sky, as well as its rhythmic and regular cycle of phases, made our Moon an important influence on human culture ever since ancient times--especially in mythology, art, language, and on calendars.
Our Moon makes a complete orbit around Earth in 27 Earth days and it rotates (spins) at that same rate--meaning, in that same amount of time. Because our planet is also moving--rotating on its axis as it circles our Star--from our viewpoint, our lunar companion appears to circle us ever 29 days. | aerospace |

WATCH: Israel's New Low-Cost Airline Has Catchy Safety Video
Originally published on Tue April 15, 2014 2:55 pm
El Al, Israel's national airline, wants you to get down when you fly UP, its budget carrier that took to the skies just two weeks ago. UP has joined the list of airlines doing away with the boring safety video in favor of something more lively and, at least in this case, delightfully cheesy.
The website FlightClub says:
"The video is sort of a cross between a Ricky Martin video, mixed with Devo's 'Whip It' and heaping spoonful of Robert Palmer's 'Simply [Irresistible].' It's a bit scatterbrained, but certainly entertaining and will be sure to hold [passengers'] attention. There's also a Hebrew version, which actually sounds a lot smoother than the English translation." | aerospace |

As opposed to any other aircraft, the operation is child’s play. It takes off and lands vertically and the pilot pays little or no attention to the flight path angle, minimum speed, stall, mixture control, pitch adjustment and many other things which make conventional aviation so demanding.
The propellers generate the entire ascending force, and by means of a selective change in rotary speed they simultaneously take care of the steering. Furthermore, as opposed to helicopters, no mechanical pitch control of the propellers is necessary whatsoever.
The automatic position control and the directional control take place by means of several independent and mutually monitoring airborne computers which control the rotation speed of each drive separately.
An optional, additional pusher propeller enables an even faster flight. | aerospace |

Pakistan on Friday tested a missile that can carry nuclear warheads, the second such test in a week, the military said.
“Pakistan today successfully test – fired the Short Range Surface to Surface Ballistic Missile Hatf II ( Abdali ), as part of the process of validation of land based ballistic missile systems,” an army statement said.
Hatf II ( Abdali ), with a range of 180 km, can carry nuclear as well as conventional warheads with high accuracy.
The test was witnessed by Chairman of Joint Chiefs of Staff Committee, General Khalid Shameem Wynne, Director General Strategic Plans Division Lieutenant General ( Retd ) Khalid Ahmed Kidwai, Commander Army Strategic forces Command, Lieutenant General Tariq Nadeem Gilani, senior officers from the strategic forces and scientists and engineers of strategic organizations.
The president and prime minister of Pakistan have congratulated the scientists and engineers on this outstanding achievement which consolidates Pakistan’s deterrence capability both at the operational and strategic levels, the statement said.
It was the second missile test by Pakistan in a week.
On Monday, Pakistmilitary said it had conducted a successful test fire of a short range Surface to Surface Missile Hatf IX ( NASR ), which has a range of 60 km and can carry nuclear warheads.
Pakistan, which tested nuclear tests in 1998 in response to Indian tests, has several missile series.

The government also announcing the award of ‘War Service Medal‘ to five other Air Force officers for their outstanding service. One of the officers who received the War Service Medal is Squadron Leader Minty Agarwal, who was handling the responsibility of fighter plane controller during the infiltration of Pakistan planes into Kashmir on 27 February.
Minty is the part of the ground control team in the Indian Air Force and works as a fighter controller. She keeps an eye on every moment movement in the sky and transmits this information to the pilots flying the fighter aircraft so that she can take the right decision at the right time. Her brave decisions made Indian Airforce fight back against the Pakistan attempt of Airstrike which became unsuccessful. Minty was the part of both airstrike missions on 26 February and 27 February. There was two-way communication between Abhinandan and her. She was telling him about the position of enemy aircraft and other air conditions which helped to shot down F16 fighter plane of Pakistan.
Indian Air Force Squadron Leader Minty Agarwal, who played the role of flight controller at Balakot Air Strike, made major disclosures on 15th August. She said that after the action of India, Pakistan’s fighter jets tried to take revenge but they were scared and ran away after seeing the deployment of our Indian aircraft. She told in her interview that she was very happy when she came to know that the Indian Air Force had shot down Pakistan’s F-16 aircraft.
On 26 February, Pakistan, angered by the Indian surgical airstrike, sent some F-16 aircraft to attack India’s military bases in Kashmir the very next day, on 27 February. Pakistani planes tried to attack by infiltration, but with the agility of the Indian Air Force, their plans were destroyed. They were repelled back by India’s MiG-21 and Mirage 2000 fighter jets. During this time, it was “Minty Agarwal” who was helping the other Indian pilots to fight against Pakistan attempt of an airstrike. | aerospace |

An Air Force Official said this week "the Air Force does not discuss this program."
Rumors of this unmanned spy craft began back in 2008, when Northrop Grumman Aircraft received a large bid from the U.S. Air Force classified budget program.
Aviation Week and Technology magazine recently unveiled what they have discovered about the massive aircraft, which is twice as big as any current drone (including the one that took out Osama bin Laden) and looks more like a stealth bomber.
The RQ-180 is reportedly going to be operational in 2015, and sources say it will be designed towards penetrating what is called "denied" airspace, or places where we're not supposed to be snooping. Interest and efforts to find out more came after reports filtered in earlier this year about people seeing test flights of a strange looking plane near Area 51 in Nevada.
The aircraft is apparently being build by Northrop Grumman's Integrated Systems division, the same on that builds the B-2 Stealth Bomber. The picture is a rendition of what it supposedly looks like, based upon the very limited sightings and information that has trickled out.
You can read more about this amazing aircraft, and how the government kept it so quiet for so long, at Aviation Week and Technology online. | aerospace |

The Green Bank Telescope in Green Bank, West Virginia helped the lander stay in touch with Earth on the journey.
The telescope staff tracked Perseverance on its approach and landing on Mars and then passed the information along to the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in California.
The GBT tracked the faint communication signal transmitted by Perseverance at a frequency of just over 400 MHz. As the rover entered the Martian atmosphere the total descent, known as the Entry-Descent-Landing phase (EDL), took about seven minutes.
Referred to as the “seven minutes of terror,” Perseverance had to slow down from 12,000 miles-per-hour to just a few feet per second. This rapid change in speed generates a lot of heat, creating a shield of ionized particles around the rover, temporarily obscuring its communication signal to Earth.
To reach the surface safely, Perseverance used a heat shield to protect itself during entry, deployed a supersonic parachute to slow down, and executed the “skycrane” maneuver to slowly touch the rover down on its wheels.
While on Mars, Perseverance will collect rock and sediment samples for later return to Earth, search for signs of ancient microbial life, and pave the way for human exploration.
This is not the first time that the Green Bank Telescope has supported a NASA mission to Mars. In 2018, the telescope received direct signals from the Mars InSight Lander. The telescope was also used to support the Phoenix landing in 2008. | aerospace |

This is an important addition as the company has a very tight launch schedule.
SpaceX receives permission to lease SLC-6 for Falcon rocket launches
Col. Rob Long, Space Launch Delta 30 commander, signed a statement of support on April 21, 2023. It grants SpaceX permission to lease Space Launch Complex 6 (SLC-6) for Falcon rocket launches. SLC-6 previously supported the Delta IV vehicle family and has remained vacant since the final Delta IV Heavy launch on Sept. 24, 2022.
“This is an exciting time for Vandenberg Space Force Base, our nation’s premier West Coast launch site for military, civil and commercial space operations,” said Col. Rob Long, SLD 30 commander. “This agreement will add to the rich history of SLC-6 and builds on the already strong partnership with SpaceX.”
Space Launch Delta 30 (SLD 30) is a United States Space Force space launch delta assigned to Space Systems Command and headquartered at Vandenberg Space Force Base, California.
The decision is the result of the launch pad allocation strategy
The decision is the result of SLD 30’s launch pad allocation strategy. It is a process to evaluate the suitability of various launch sites for different types of rockets and payloads. The process is critical to ensuring that launches are safe, and that the selected launch site can accommodate the unique requirements of each mission. This was the first round of launch pad allocations, and additional rounds of allocations will occur in the future after further operational analysis.
SpaceX needs to expand the number of launch sites
SpaceX has a very tight launch schedule. In total, 100 launches were planned for this year. As of April 20, the company has launched 26 rockets in 2023. Of these, 24 are Falcon 9, one Falcon Heavy, and one Starship. At the moment, SpaceX launches every 4.42 days. In order to complete the remaining planned 75 launches, SpaceX needs to launch every 3.3 days. Obviously, weather conditions do not always allow a launch, and a small number of launch sites is a limiting factor. | aerospace |

Based on the positive outcomes of the assessment and follow-ups, the FAA informed DGCA on April 12, 2023 that India meets the international standards for aviation safety oversight of the Chicago Convention and its Annexes and continues to retain FAA IASA Category 1 status which was the last assessed in July 2018.
The FAA has also appreciated the DGCA stating that it has demonstrated a commitment to ensuring the effective safety oversight of India’s aviation system.
Further, it also stated that the air carriers of Category 1 countries are permitted to operate/ expand their services to destinations in the USA and codeshare with US air carriers.
According to the Civil Aviation Ministry’s official statement, India’s Category 1 determination has come at a time when Indian aviation is on a high growth trajectory and air carriers in India have major capacity induction and expansion plans.India, in the recent ICAO audit in November 2022 has scored an Effective Implementation (EI) of 85.65 per cent from the previous EI of 69.95 percent thereby enhancing its global ranking significantly.
The FAA’s International Aviation Safety Assessment (IASA) programme conducted an audit of India’s DGCA from October 25 to 29, 2021, covering areas such as aircraft operations, airworthiness, and personnel licensing. Final consultations were conducted in April 2022, with further review by the FAA in July and September of the same year.
The IASA programme assesses a country’s oversight of its air carriers operating or seeking to operate in the US or code sharing with US air carriers, to ensure compliance with safety standards established by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO).
“The assessment by ICAO as well as FAA is a testimony to India’s commitment to having an effective safety oversight for its civil aviation system,” the ministry said. | aerospace |

China's Mars rover Zhu Rong successfully landed on the red planet on May 15, 2021 after “nine minutes of terror” – Nasa’s name for the interval when engineers on Earth have no control or oversight of the rover because of radio signal delay. This means the rover must land without human intervention. Launched into orbit in the summer of 2020, the spacecraft circled Mars before attempting a landing.
An American rover, Perseverance, landed on Mars a few months earlier and is still active, raising competition between China and the US on Earth and in space. Zhu Rong’s next mission is to collect and analyse data on Mars’ climate and geology.

Several different approaches like span, camber, twist, and sweep are finding applications. In this work, the concept of a trailing edge control surface which is capable of performing decamber morphing is explained. The upper and lower parts of the control surface undergo different chordwise elongations and the difference between these displacements gives rise to either camber or decamber morphing. The necessary force is achieved by the help of servo actuators. During the design, the structural analyses were done to determine the best viable options for the number of servo actuators, the location of the servo actuators, and the material properties used in the control surface. The control surface was designed of aluminum, composite and compliant materials hence was called a hybrid one. The structural analyses were conducted by using ANSYS (R) Workbench v14.0 package program. After finding the best viable design, which was made for in vacuo condition, the proposed design was also verified under the simulated aerodynamic loading. The aerodynamic loads were obtained from CFD analyses which were done with SU2 V3.2.3 open-source flow solver. | aerospace |

This week we say good-bye to what it was the work horse of our company for almost a decade. After faithfully and safely transported our passengers and us, our beloved Saab 340B leaves us for good. Silver Airways first Saab 340B joined the fleet on December 2011 to replace the Beechcraft 1900D Silver operated under the Continental Connection flag. From 2012 to 2013, Silver operated the Saab 340B under the United Express Flag until the affiliation between both airlines was dissolved. We had a total of 34 Saabs under the Silver Airways flag.
Seaborne Airlines acquired its first Saab 340B on December 2012 to replace the de Havilland Canada Twin Otter DHC-6 and take over American Eagle's routes after Eagle decided to cease operations out of San Juan in 2013. Seaborne acquired a total of 8 Saabs 340B operating to 17 destinations becoming the number one regional airline in the Caribbean and the first and only FAR121 airline to displayed the Puertorrican Flag on its airplanes with the motto "No one flies our flag higher".
For me personally, it is extremely sad to see them go. My first ever flight on a propeller aircraft was in a Seaborne Airlines Saab (N341CJ). That specific aircraft became my favorite of the fleet and I shed tears the day it left. I was fortunate to do its last flight under the Seaborne Flag on August 6, 2020. It is the End of an Era, and I hope our new fleet of ATRs served us as safely as our Saabs did.
Farewell my dear friend and Blue Skies Ahead.

NASA’s Orion spacecraft spotted the destination of its Artemis 1 test flight to the moon and captured a stunning video to mark the moment.
In a video released on Friday (November 18), the half-illuminated moon is seen in the distance with Orion spacecraft in the foreground, complete with NASA’s “worm” logo, as seen from a camera atop one of the capsule’s four sun wings. at this time, Orion was halfway to the moonNASA said in a statement.
NASA launched Orion on an unmanned mission Artemis 1 mission on Wednesday (Nov. 16) atop the agency’s first Space Launch System (SLS), which is now the most powerful rocket in the world. Orion will make a 25-day trip to the moon and back on a rumbling ship cruise, returning to Earth on December 11. NASA used the mission as a test flight for Artemis program to see if the SLS rocket and Orion are ready to fly astronauts to the moon, with a manned lunar landing planned for 2025.
The video is the latest amazing view from Orionwhich is equipped with 24 cameras located on the exterior, solar arrays and interior to chronicle its historic test flight.
In the hours immediately following launch, Orion’s imaged a trailing Earth crescent as it made its way to the Moon. Check it out below.
NASA also released a new one Artemis All-Access Video Series which will provide weekly updates on the mission as it ventures to the Moon and back.
The first episode, which NASA also released on Friday, details the first three days of the Artemis 1 mission, including stunning views of the spacecraft’s separation from the SLS rocket’s upper stage, cubesat deployment stages and an update from NASA’s Dan Huot on how the mission went so far. Check out the video below to check it out.
Early Saturday (Nov. 19), the Artemis 1 Orion spacecraft was 216,391 miles (348,247 kilometers) from Earth, 93,048 miles (149,746 km) from the Moon and flying through space at 995 miles per hour (1,601 km/h), according to NASA. You can track Orion through space on its mission via NASA’s Track Artemis website (opens in new tab).
So far, Orion’s flight went relatively smoothlywith NASA mission managers saying it has exceeded their expectations despite minor problems as engineers learn how the spacecraft performs in deep space.
On Monday morning (Nov. 21), Artemis 1 Orion will make its closest approach to the moon on a flyby, coming within 60 miles (100 km) of the moon as it prepares to complete its full wide circular orbit.
NASA will broadcast live Artemis 1’s flyby of the moon beginning at 7:15 a.m. EST (12:15 GMT), with the time of closest approach scheduled for just after 7:57 a.m. EST (1257 GMT). Orion will enter its final orbit around the moon on Nov. 25 at 4:52 a.m. EST (2152 GMT), with NASA coverage beginning at 4:30 a.m. EST (2130 GMT). You can watch live broadcasts of NASA’s Artemis 1 Orion on Space.com, courtesy of NASA TV.

PHASA-35 is an ultra-light drone that relies entirely on solar energy. The 35 meter wide aircraft is to be used as a satellite replacement.
PHASA-35 has already completed its first test flight . On February 17, the solar light aircraft designed by the armaments company BAE Systems and the aviation development company Prismatic took off from the Royal Australian Air Force training area in southern Australia and reached a height of around two kilometers. The automated Persistent High Altitude Solar Aircraft will soon reach heights of around 20 kilometers and then stay in the air longer than ever before.
Are there solar powered planes?
At these heights, PHASA-35 can fly over all bad weather conditions and does not get in the way of regular air traffic. Above all, however, there is always sufficient solar radiation at this altitude that the aviator can use. Because PHASA-35 is driven by two electric motors, which are supposed to deliver just enough propulsion during the stratospheric flight to keep the altitude. During the day, the motors are operated with solar cells that are embedded in the wings. They also charge several battery packs that deliver the necessary electricity at night.
The goal of the developers is that PHASA-35 can remain in the stratosphere for up to a year without landing and maintenance – if possible after the completion of final tests in 2021. The aircraft has a flight range of 35 meters, which still allow the aircraft to find a hold even in the thin atmosphere. The aircraft was constructed from ultra-light composite materials. Despite its size, the automated drone only weighs 150 kilograms.
Research is being carried out worldwide on light solar planes
PHASA-35 is to be used as an alternative to communication satellites or as a flying 5G station. After natural disasters, a functioning radio and smartphone network could be quickly restored in affected areas. The solar aircraft could also be used for Earth observation – for example, to monitor the spread of forest fires or to monitor the temperature development of the oceans. Of course, the high-flying drone would also be suitable for espionage and military missions.
PHASA-35 is not the first aircraft of its kind to set record flight values. Already in 2018, Zephyr S HAPS, an ultra-light solar aircraft from the aviation group Airbus and the military research company QinetiQ, had spent a full 25 days, 23 hours and 57 minutes in the air, reaching an altitude of 21 kilometers . With a weight of 75 kilograms and a span of 25 meters, Zephyr S HAPS was both smaller and lighter than PHASE-35. According to Airbus, Zephyr S HAPS could fly in ideal conditions for over a month without landing.
The US research company AeroVironment, which broke the height record for non-rocket-propelled aircraft with its Helios solar aircraft in 2001, is currently working on a solar drone called the Hawk30. She completed her maiden flight last year. The aircraft , which is 78 meters wide and powered by ten electric motors, is co-financed by the mobile and investment giant SoftBank . He wants to use several Hawk30 aircraft from 2023 for a mobile service called HAPS Mobile . For this purpose, the solar planes should stay in the air for up to six months and provide areas with a radius of up to 200 kilometers with internet and mobile phone connections. | aerospace |

We have two online tracking system on Loki Lego Launcher 2.0. One of the lessons we learned from the first launch was to “have a redundant system.” We’ll be a lot less anxious now that we have two trackers on board.
APRS: http://aprs.fi/#!call=a%2FKI7CSK-11&timerange=86400&tail=21600 (map refreshes automatically)
The Automatic Packet Reporting System (APRS) is an amateur radio based system used for real-time communications. We are using the APRS radio transmitter in conjunction with our flight computer to transmit latitude, longitude and altitude to an iGate, or Internet Gate, which allows us to track our spacecraft in near real-time (one minute intervals) on a website like aprs.fi. The APRS does not work as well as the SPOT Trace on the ground, but it is the only way we can transmit altitude data while in flight. Thanks to Dad, we are officially allowed to use the APRS system because he got an Amateur Radio License (his call sign: KI7CSK).
The SPOT Trace is a GPS tracking device that can be used for a variety of applications. It is generally used for tracking things that may be lost or hard to find, like the Loki Lego Launcher. The SPOT uses GPS to transmit its lat/long coordinates to a web page or app approximately once every five minutes and can be attached to practically anything. One of the drawbacks of the SPOT is that it doesn’t work at high altitudes, as the satellite cannot track it when it is too high. It also does not transmit altitude, which was a problem for us in our first launch. It will be our main source for retrieval of the Loki Lego Launcher because it works best on ground. | aerospace |

The company said its net outlay for the purchase, which will go through by the end of this year or in early 2016, will effectively be reduced to $7.1bn as a result of tax benefits.
The acquisition is the second largest for Lockheed, the world's largest defence contractor, since it merged with Martin Marietta in 1995.
"Silorsky is a natural fit for Lockheed Martin and complements our broad portfolio of world-class aerospace and defence products and technologies," Lockheed Martin CEO Marilyn Hewson said in a statement.
