For its connection with the Jet Noise Reduction program of the Office of Naval Research, jet noise corresponds to the high-amplitude sound generated by air-breathing propulsion systems, namely low-bypass turbine engines. At present it represents one of the most acute noise sources for the Department of Navy and has been linked to adverse biological, mechanical, and environmental effects. Such effects include but are not limited to the noise-induced hearing loss of Navy personnel, the structural degradation of Naval airframes, and the restriction of maintenance, testing, and training schedules due to noise pollution in communities surrounding Naval installations. To counteract these issues and combat the problem of jet noise, attempts are being made to realize and establish jet noise reduction technologies through coordinated science efforts.
At the NCPA, particle image velocimetry (PIV) as well as synchronous near-field and far-field acoustic measurements are being acquired to better quantify the noise generated by supersonic flows emanating from converging-diverging nozzles. Such noise is associated with typical variable-area nozzles found on modern, high-performance, military aircrafts. The cumulative data from these studies provides temporally resolved, synchronous characterization of the near-nozzle velocity field, the hydrodynamic pressure field, and the acoustic far field. By studying the noise-generating features of high-temperature, shock-containing jets using several measurement techniques, the hope is that a better understanding of near-nozzle flow conditions and their impacts on jet noise radiation can be obtained.
The primary focus of current research involves the acquisition and processing of temporally resolved PIV data. An imaging system unique to Auburn University has been developed through the combined use of a pulse burst laser and a high-speed gated intensified CCD framing camera. This system enables velocity-field data to be recorded at rates in excess of 1 million frames per second. Because several images can be recorded at varying time intervals with respect to one another, high dynamic range (HDR) PIV is possible. This technique enables a single velocity field to be constructed entirely from the local evaluations of multiple image pairs. Depending on the local velocity, the number of image pairs utilized for a single vector evaluation is variable. The increased dynamic velocity range that can be achieved compared to conventional PIV allows improved measurements to be obtained. At present work is being done to develop, validate, and implement a novel HDR processing scheme into the experimental data analysis.
Experimental setup in the test chamber of the Anechoic Jet Laboratory. A high-speed camera records images of particles seeded in the supersonic jet. Subsequent analysis of these images yields velocity-field measurements based on the observed displacements of the particles with time.

Early Saturday morning, if all goes as planned, 91-year-old Eugene Parker will watch a NASA spacecraft named after him blast off on an unprecedented mission to study the sun.
"It's my first rocket launch, so that will be very interesting," says Parker, a retired astrophysicist who lives in Chicago.
NASA has never named a spacecraft after a living person before. But Parker's colleagues say it's appropriate that this one bears his name. The Parker Solar Probe will get up-close-and-personal with the fiery sun, closer than any spacecraft ever, and Parker is almost a God-like figure among those who study this special star.
"In our field, he's definitely a celebrity," says Angela Olinto, an astrophysicist at the University of Chicago, where Parker worked for decades. "Most of science is done by a lot of small steps by a lot of different people. He is one of those few people that we know that have made big breakthroughs a few times."
His first came in 1958, when Parker predicted that the sun was constantly spewing out a stream of charged particles at supersonic speeds. He called it the solar wind.
To his critics, this idea seemed laughable. One even suggested he should go to the library and do some reading before trying to write papers on this subject. "And the question is 'Well, what do they think now?'" asks Parker, with a chuckle, adding, "they're all dead by now so it doesn't really matter."
He says it's normal, in science, that something new and different won't be believed. "So it was no surprise," says Parker. "It was annoying, but no surprise."
Soon enough, measurements made in space proved that Parker was right about the solar wind. This was just the beginning of a long career filled with insights that basically started the field of heliophysics, the study of the space environment around our star and how it affects Earth and the other planets.
Parker recalls that the head of science at NASA recently called him up and asked if he'd object if they named the new solar probe after him. "And I said, 'Why no, I guess not,'" recalls Parker, who says he found the honor "rather flattering."
The Parker Solar Probe will be going to the sun's corona, "the atmosphere that we could all see on August 21st when we had a total solar eclipse," says Nicola Fox of the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory, who is the mission's project scientist.
After traveling for seven years, the spacecraft will come within four million miles of the sun's surface — and will be going really fast.
"We'll be moving at about 430,000 miles an hour, which is about 118 miles a second," says Fox, explaining that it will be the fastest object ever made by humankind "by an awful lot."
To protect it from temperatures that could reach up to 2,500 degrees Fahrenheit, the probe has a heat shield made up of a special foam that's 4.5 inches thick. "It kind of looks like the florist's foam that you would use to make flower arrangements. It's very similar in feel and in texture," says mission system engineer Jim Kinnison. "This, though, is pure carbon."
Behind this shield, where the instruments are, it will be room temperature. The probe's measurements will hopefully help explain mysteries like how the solar wind gets accelerated and why the corona is so weirdly super hot — 300 times hotter than the sun's surface.
"That just shouldn't happen. It just kind of defies the laws of nature," says Fox. "If you move away from a heat source, it should get cooler. But for us it actually gets hotter."
Figuring that one out is something Eugene Parker is looking forward to. "It'll be really fun to be able to close in on that problem," he says.
He adds that although the probe is named after him, the real credit should go to the crew that was able to build a spacecraft capable of withstanding such an extreme space environment.
"I hope the launch is successful," says Parker, "and that the spacecraft does what it's expected to do."

The UK Civil Aviation Authority (UK CAA) has granted the company “Permission to Fly” to test the VX4.
Eight electrically powered aircraft, led by Vertical Aviation chief test pilot Justin Plains, took off from the ground. During the aircraft’s first takeoff, eight sets of aerodynamic propellers lifted the aircraft off the ground with a suspended thrust, while it was attached to the ground for safety.
According to the company, it was the first British company in over 20 years to begin flight tests of a new aircraft with a full-scale piloted prototype. The first flight marks the beginning of an intense eVTOL flight test program. The program is expected to continue for several months, completing various phases that will mark the attainment of high altitudes and speeds and the transition from vertical to horizontal forward flight.
Permission and positive results from these initial tests allow the company to confidently advance its VX4 certification mission by 2025. The VX4 aircraft is expected to carry four passengers in addition to the pilot, flying at a cruising speed of about 240 km/h and a top speed of 322 km/h. It is expected to cover distances of more than 160 km with minimal noise and zero operational emissions.
The eVTOL features a separate luggage compartment, a luggage compartment next to each seat, twelve propellers, a high-mounted wing, a V-shaped tail and retractable tricycle landing gear. According to the company, the VX4 eVTOL can achieve a noise level 30 times lower than an equivalent helicopter.
Vertical Aerospace announced that it has already received more than 1,400 pre-orders from the world’s leading airlines, operators and travel groups, including Virgin Atlantic, American Airlines, Japan Airlines and Air Asia. Industrial partners of the project are Microsoft, GKN Aerospace, Rolls-Royce, Solvay, Leonardo and Honeywell.

A defense ministry spokesman told the semi-official German T.V. station Z.D.F. today that a German navy helicopter was intimidated by the Israeli planes. The German Die Welt weekly magazine, which reported the incident, said German defense ministry officials were "astonished" by the Israeli annoyance.
Israeli Defense Minister Amir Peretz had telephoned his German counterpart for assurances that Israeli warplanes would not intercept German ships operating at the Lebanese coasts, the magazine said. The German defense ministry a few days ago said six Israeli jetfighters were involved in an armed incident with a German ship patrolling off Lebanon as part of the UN force in the Arab country.
The Israeli warplanes fired shots as well as anti-missile defence flares while flying low over the German vessel, the defense ministry said.

In its role as Official Partner, Fischer Connectors is partnering with the SolarStratos team to provide its expertise in designing and delivering ultra-rugged, mission-critical connectivity solutions to the SolarStratos aircraft.
This will be the first time a manned solar plane will penetrate the stratosphere, and SolarStratos is the first solar-powered twin-seater commercial aircraft in history. This ambitious Swiss project with a global impact will demonstrate the potential of solar energy, and explore new territories for the future of aviation – manned and unmanned, solar and electric. SolarStratos’ founder and pilot Raphaël Domjan, who proved with PlanetSolar that you can sail around the world in a solar-powered boat, will lead this daring adventure, supported by an international team of experienced professionals and partners.
The SolarStratos plane – with a wingspan of 24 meters, length of 8.5 meters and weight of 350 kilos – will be propelled solely by solar energy, backed by a Li-ion battery. Designed and built in Switzerland, it took its maiden flight in Payerne, Switzerland on May 5th, 2017.
SolarStratos’ first international “stopover” takes place from June 15th to June 22nd in Montreal, Canada, where it is the guest star of the Northern Solar Festival and the 12th Metropolis World Congress. The event will culminate in an exhibition flight over the St Lawrence River. The stratospheric flight is scheduled for 2019, with tests and records foreseen in 2018, and commercial activities are planned to start in 2020.
The environment on the edge of space is extreme, with temperatures of -70°C and cosmic radiation. Fischer Connectors’ innovative Swiss technology – in particular its rugged connectivity solutions – has been selected by SolarStratos for its track record of high reliability in extreme environments, optimal ratio of light weight and high performance, ability to transmit large volumes of data fast over long distances, and customized design. Fischer Connectors’ technical support teams are working closely with the SolarStratos team to design and deliver the ideal solution to ensure the mission’s success.
As Jonathan Brossard, CEO of the Fischer Connectors, explains: “Fischer Connectors and SolarStratos have so much in common. We’re both pioneers in innovation with a passion for going beyond what’s considered possible and pushing back the limits of human understanding. We’re both Swiss and global, collaborating with many partners locally and globally, and harnessing Swiss high-performance technology and our passion for renewables to re-invent the aviation of the future.

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla., May 22, 2015 — A small box launched into space Wednesday will soon blossom into a 32-m2 spacecraft designed to sail on sunlight.
The flight is a test of The Planetary Society’s LightSail, which it said could change how satellites and even larger spacecraft move around the solar system.
LightSail isn't high enough to escape Earth's atmospheric drag and thus will not demonstrate controlled solar sailing. Instead, it is expected to go through a testing period of about four weeks, after which it... | aerospace |

In the frame of an ESA Basic Research Technology Program (TRP) activity experimental work was performed on "clean model" systems, i.e. well-defined synthetic diamond mono-crystal surfaces, which were functionalized and characterized by XPS. In a second approach those results were transformed onto synthetic diamond particles in Al- and Ag-diamond composites and the measurement of thermal conductivity in the temperature range between roughly 4 K and 298 K. Knowledge of thermal transport between diamond and metal surfaces and the thermal conductivity behavior of composites in that temperature range is essential for the development of improved thermal management applications and of heat sink materials to be operated in cryo-lasers and in space LIDAR applications and similar. The results obtained show an influence of matrix composition, diamond particle size and diamond surface treatment on thermal conductivity behavior, which can be as high as 1050 W m-1 K-1 at around 150 K. The surface treatment results in oxygenated diamond surfaces and can influence interfacial thermal conductance h. Furthermore, the h(T)-values in our findings on “real” composites can be close to values determined on clean model systems, i.e. sputtered and evaporated metal layers on even diamond mono-crystal substrates. In a next approach laser crystal materials were directly joined to the heat sink material to minimize strains.

MOSCOW, April 28 (Itar-Tass) —— The launch of a Soyuz-2.1a carrier rocket with a European weather satellite aboard from Baikonur has been postponed till the second half of July.
The head of the Permanent Mission of the European Space Agency in Russia Rene Pichel quoted the Starsem as saying that “additional measures are needed to ensure the availability of drop zones for elements of the Soyuz rocket to be launched from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan to orbit Eumetsat's MetOp-B satellite”.
The launch of MetOp-B, previously scheduled on May 23, has therefore been pushed back several weeks. The satellite, currently at Starsem's facilities in Baikonur, has been placed under maximum security conditions.
“A new launch date will be announced as soon as possible,” Starsem said.
Sources in the Russian rocket and space industry told Itar-Tass that “the launch of the European satellite has been postponed because of the absence of permission from Kazakhstan”.
Kazakhstan has referred to the “absence of an agreement on the drop zone for spaceship launched to polar orbits”.
Starsem is the Soyuz company, dedicated to providing commercial launch services with the reliable and proven Soyuz family of launch vehicles.
The European-Russian organisation brings together all key players involved in the production and operation of Soyuz and is responsible for international sales of the world's most versatile launch vehicle.
Created in 1996, Starsem offers the Soyuz for a broad range of mission needs, including satellite telecommunications systems, scientific spacecraft, and Earth observation / meteorological platforms.
Starsem provides each customer a true turnkey service, from manufacture of the launch vehicle to mission preparations at the Baikonur Cosmodrome and successful in-orbit delivery of payloads. | aerospace |

A recent article in Aviation Week & Space Technology summarizes the lack of qualified pilots in this way: “From a top-down view, large airlines will have to replace more than 18,000 pilots due to mandatory age 65 retirement over the next seven years, along with hiring pilots for newly delivered aircraft.”
“The result is a situation that could force the industry to park aircraft or defer deliveries as the pilot ranks decrease and opportunities abound for those that remain in the business. Some regional airlines are reporting that pilot candidates are not showing up for interviews or training classes, presumably because they are able to choose the best of several options without notifying the others.
A Delta representative speaking at a recent jobs summit in January said the carrier is concerned about what it calls a “limited pool of applicants,” adding that it had already hired “the cream of the crop for now, but that will be forced to change as the applicant pool decreases.”
In the “pool” are 6,000-7,000 regional airline pilots who are the most desirable, with 1,000 hr. or more of turbine pilot-in-command time. “All the majors are pulling from this pool of pilots,” says Rocky Calkins, manager of pilot hiring for Southwest Airlines. Another participant says airlines have “reached the bottom of the applicant pool.”
The demand for new airline pilots entering the industry has never been greater and neither has the opportunity been greater to begin a lucrative career as an airline pilot. The quickest and most direct path to an airline career is available by training with the flight school with the most success in helping pilots achieve their career goals.

https://astronomy.wikia.org/wiki/Could_a_flying_saucer_be_an_efficient_design_for_an_alien_spacecraft%3F | 2021-09-16T22:10:47 | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-39/segments/1631780053759.24/warc/CC-MAIN-20210916204111-20210916234111-00464.warc.gz | 0.952805 | 317 | CC-MAIN-2021-39 | webtext-fineweb__CC-MAIN-2021-39__0__123253870 | en | A disk or cylinder could be a very efficient shape for a spacecraft if aliens from planets with different gravities want to travel together. Flying saucer sightings frequently involve something rotating. If this is real centrifugal power would have a similar effect to gravity but the force would be different at different distances from the centre. Therefore different aliens that evolved on different planets or moons with different gravities could all have homes somewhere in a flying saucer where the simulated gravity fits them. If a flying saucer picked up humans somewhere in the craft would be an area that simulates the gravity of the Earth. What about flying saucers with a hub in the centre? Perhaps that’s imaginary. Perhaps the hub is for some alien machinery that we don’t understand. Areas in the disk where the simulated gravity doesn't suit any of the travellers could be used for storage and sections could be cleared if new aliens are discovered who need that level of simulated gravity.
To simulate gravity a rotating disk would probably need to be very big, say at least a hundred metres in diameter. A smaller, faster rotating disk could also simulate gravity but there would be significantly different gravity in different parts of the same room. Depending on the physiology of the aliens this could cause problems. The above can explain very large flying saucers or flying saucers in the sky where the real size is impossbile to estimate. Smaller flying saucers need a different explanation.
None of this shows that flying saucers are real but it shows that flying saucers are possible. | aerospace |

For this unusual lesson at Mays Business School, Management Clinical Associate Professor Richard Lester tasked the students in his graduate-level foundations of entrepreneurship class with the team creation of an aircraft that met specific criteria: it must use the same number of sheets of paper as team members, and carry $1 in coins. Each team decided the weight of the paper, design of the craft, and the combination of coins to equal $1.
Once the prototypes were developed, each team delivered a three-minute pitch describing the reasons their aircraft would fly the farthest and remain aloft the longest. After the pitches, students made predictions about which aircraft would make good on its claims and soar to superiority above the others.
When it came down to the actual fly-off, teams received points toward winning the competition for not only the performance of their aircraft, but also the number of votes they received from classmates predicting their success. The lesson had several angles related to entrepreneurship, said Lester: creativity and innovation, role of presentation for an unproven design, investment decision making for new ventures, personal selling, and effective implementation.
Due to the elevated nature of the lesson, it’s sure to be one that students will remember. | aerospace |

Drones have literally taken off at the last few years. Nevertheless, in regards to buying a single, there is a lot to take into account. First off, you’ll have to decide what your primary needs are for it. Are you just starting out and looking for a beginners’ version? Do you just need a affordable model to play around with? Or would you like to use it in order to take aerial pictures and video? To help you decide which drone may be most suitable for you, read our top eight choices under (and until you use it, make sure to read regarding the rules and regulations on the FAA site).
1-DJI Mavic Pro
DJI’s Mavic Pro may be summed up Put simply: mobile and powerful. Capable of collapsing down to as little as a bottle of plain water, DJI Mavic Pro is a fantastic choice for quadcopter fans. A brand new OcuSync transmission system will offer up to 4.3 miles of variety, 40 mph speed and a flight time approximately 27 minutes, thanks to a powerful battery. The lengthy range away from the base controller is aided by both GPS and satellite to help maintain precise location control. As a result of sensor redundancy, the inclusion of obstacle avoidance will help the Mavic Pro dodge anything that may knock it out of the heavens.
3.27-inch Mavic Pro feels and looks different from DJI’s wildly popular existing quadcopter lineup and has more contour and angular shapes. It almost gives off the allure of a stealth bomber, instead of the stark white Phantom line. Shorter legs provide the Mavic Pro the visual appeal of landing on its abdomen, and the rear arms pivot down to tuck in the underside while the front arms fold inward toward the top of the primary body. Recreating the camera along with three-axis gimbal system enables DJI’s designers to make such a backpack-friendly design.
Installation is a cinch and, after connecting to the Remote control, you may add a smartphone to function as a screen. The compact remote Height, direction and motion. 1 scroll wheel on the rear adjusts the Camera gimbal and the other one is available to programming. The camera documents 4K video At 30fps or even 1080p at 96fps, the latter of which may live flow to Facebook, Furthermore, you can capture stills with the 12-megapixel camera.
Runner-Up, Best Overall Greatest Camera
2-DJI Phantom 4
The Phantom 4 proceeds DJI’s Dominance from the drone marketplace and it is the ideal camera drone out there. And it comes complete with additional features and functionalities to justify its high price tag. At only three pounds, most of the Phantom 4 additional weight over the Phantom 3 Pro comes in the 5,350mAh battery. Both novice fliers and pros will find the Phantom 4 simple to navigate partially because of safety system that finds obstacles ahead and stops the Phantom 4 in its paths. It’s not foolproof, but it is among the many fine points that helps make this drone well worth the purchase price of admission.
Capable of speeds of up to 45 Mph, the Phantom 4 can fly four miles above sea level, but FAA regulations will cut that down to about 400 feet in an area with tight restrictions. Multiple flight modes including autonomous flying, sport style, positioning and more allow for a variety of capabilities, all of which are handled beautifully by the incredible controller. The 28-minute flight time and 75-minute recharge time puts the Phantom 4 among the very best at this price range.
4K video catch, it is the camera that truly stands out with this drone. Images The 4K movie recording maxes out at 30fps and falling down video quality to The gimbal does an excellent job Of leveling out the camera as you’re flying about and helps avoid some of the Vibration and twisting of the drone body from looking or affecting video. If you’re grabbing 4K video, you will want to consider that you can fill up a 16GB Memory card during the course of a single flight. Slight caveats aside, the Phantom 4 is among the greatest drones out there.
While we often seem to higher cost ranges to the very best in quadcopter and drone technology, there’s plenty of budget choices we shouldn’t ignore. The wallet-friendly Syma X5SC offers HD video and pictures, headless mode, a sturdy framework, six to eight minutes of flight time plus a 150-foot assortment of flight. Regrettably, recharging the 500mAh battery takes two hours, but you must see that there’ll be trade-offs at the price point.
But to get a drone that’s only under .24 Pounds, we are not surprised that stability outside is a challenge. A small burst of end and it can take some time together with the controls to bring the device back to equilibrium. 1 final disappointment is the camera, a 2mp camera contributes to average photographs and, while our expectations are tempered for the price, we would really like to see marginally higher quality photos. Providentially, the X5SC is quite durable and internet reviews mention people crashing into doors, walls, trees, ceilings and much more with nary a scratch on the device. The fantastic news is that, for the price, replacement parts are cheap should you ever end up in need of new blade or blades protectors.
Although flight time can be short, additional batteries can be purchased for under $20. Even with Some shortfalls in the entry-level price, the Syma X5SC is an outstanding price And a whole lot of fun, earning a simple recommendation as your budget option.
Best for Beginners
If you’ve never flown a drone earlier, it’s better to start small, start cheap and start with something great. The Syma X5C strikes all three of those requirements. Praised by overall technology and drone-specific sites equally, the Syma is a great way to present yourself to the drone world. There’s nothing here that will knock off your socks and the SYMA is merely a great introductory drone.
At just 2.1 lbs, the X5C is effective at a seven-minute flight period supported by a 100-minute recharge time. That’s all fairly standard in the price assortment of the X5C. However, unlike some its similarly-priced rivalry, the X5C is capable of being flown both indoors and outdoors, because of a wind-resistant build. A six-axis gyro stabilization helps make sure that the X5C has maximum stability during its flight time. Equipped with a 720p HD camera along with 2GB memory card, the X5C can shoot video and photos while in flight but we’d temper any expectations regarding quality as its just average.
The advertised range of approximately 50 meters is a limit we would not suggest pushing until you’re genuinely comfortable with the controls. The 2.4GHz spread spectrum technology is designed to help prevent interference and allow for increased distance, but we’d stick close to home until you move beyond the “new from the box” stage. Thankfully, Syma packs four spare propellers and four spare blade guards with the X5C to help repair any damage from those virtually guaranteed first-timer crashes. While the battery life might be short and its built-in camera less than stellar, its general value makes the SYMA X5C a simple recommendation for beginners.
Greatest Flight Time
5-Yuneec Typhoon H Collision Avoidance Hexacopter
Fly farther with this six rotor Hexacopter from Yuneec, a compact and nimble drone that can fly for up to 25 minutes on a single battery charge. The Typhoon H is prepared to fly from the box and is a CES 2016 “Best of Class” winner, a luxury favourite of skilled drone fans and first-time fliers.
On your nearly 30 minutes of Flight timing you can capture stunning Ultra HD 4K footage with the three-axis anti-vibration CGO3+gimbal camera, that has a 360-degree assortment of motion and can capture 12 megapixel still pictures. The camera has a lens that is mirrored and you are able to see the footage onto a seven-inch Android touchscreen in a ST16 controller.
The drone has multiple complex Security mechanisms to protect your investment, including ultrasonic collision Avoidance, retractable landing gear, and five rotor fail-safe insurance. Other advanced features include Orbit Me circular path, point-of-interest Concentrate and curve cable camera.
6-Hubsan H107C+ HD
Some good things come in small packages. Miniature drones don’t have the flow, battery life or camera quality like the rest with this list, but they are a ton of fun to fly. If you just don’t have the time, desire or cash to splurge on a more pricey model, the Hubsan H107C+ HD is your drone to you. With just seven minutes of flying time, you are going to want to optimize every second that this mini miracle is afloat (up to 150 ft), but that’s ok as it takes only 40 minutes to recharge and get back in the air.
The inclusion of a 720p camera Means you’re going to be able to catch the flight. But what truly grabbed our Attention on the Hubsan were a number of the additional features that aren’t usually included at the price point. Altitude hold, for example, permits for a Smooth and stable flight with no additional operator movement. Partnered using the six axis gyro for increased stability, the Hubsan once again demonstrates it may punch well above its weight category.
Best for Intermediates
7-DJI Phantom 3 Professional
Is among the greatest drones on the market today, and the 4K UHD video recording and 720p live viewing drone, make this a fan-favorite. The design is basic, weighing just under three pounds with a bottom-mounted camera along with four pylons each with a rotor.
There are two pre-programmed Flight controllers for both novices and advanced pilots, also a amazing inclusion given the asking price. Battery life is rated at 23 minutes, but you can expect that number to fall with heavy camera use. Connecting your smart phone or tablet computer will provide you a 720p live stream movie of what your Phantom 3 Expert sees while in flight. Vision positioning technology will help beginners and advanced drone hobbyists properly control the flight path with assisted assistance from the DJI software with visual and ultrasonic detectors. This will aid anyone who wants to set a course indoors, fly low to the floor or in GPS-free places. Charging the Phantom takes somewhat longer than we would like because of a lesser wattage charger, however, you can jump from 15 to 20 percent charge to 100 percent in about an hour.
While FAA rules demand that you maintain your drone in visual sight, the Phantom is really capable of flying nearly 3.1 Miles from the handheld controller. The newly redesigned controller from the Drone to come back to its preset “home” location with just the press of a button. Two aluminum joysticks provide what’s said to be some of the best-designed Functionality for properly handling and flying almost any drone.
Best for Pros
8-DJI Inspire 1 Pro
If you are already well-versed in the drone business, the title DJI is already at the forefront of your vocabulary, and it’s no surprise that the DJI Inspire 1 Pro is our choice for your ideal splurge. Coming in at 6.5 pounds and 1.5 feet wide, this drone is for serious buyers only. Attached to the drone is your Zenmuse micro four thirds sensor with DJI branded 15mm f/1.7 lens, which is 4K video and HD image competent. Obviously, this drone has one of the best cameras you can purchase upon the drone market.
As it is capable of flying at over 50mph and ascending to 15,000 feet AND flying in sub-zero temperatures, the asking price isn’t so out-of-this-world. Aside from the FAA requirements that would come with a drone capable of flying at 15,000 feet, you’ll definitely want to be mindful of weather, take-off and shooting conditions, in addition to a soft spot to put down in an emergency. Included with the device is a 4500mAh battery that allows for 18 minutes of flight time. DJI offers a bigger 5700mAh battery sold individually that would bring total flight time to 22 minutes. | aerospace |

In addition to the Air France crash, there was the Colgan Air crash in Buffalo, an accident in Brazil, and another in the Netherlands.
The Yemenia plane(the picture is of the exact aircraft in question, courtesy of NYCAviation.com)that crashed while was built in 1990. It was the ninth total loss of an A310 and eighth fatal accident for that plane since it entered service in 1983. Forty-one airlines operate 214 Airbus 310s.
How could such a crash happen? Well, in the case of Yemenia, there were several developments. The airline had been banned at the end of February from servicing EU-registered jets after failing audit inspections. The country of Yemen denied any safety problems with its flag carrier and said its aircraft were always thoroughly maintained.
The plane involved with the crash was registered in Yemen, and thus not subject to such a ban. Yemen’s transport minister said the crashed A310 underwent a thorough inspection in May under Airbus supervision. The plane was leased to Yemenia by the International Lease Finance Corporation, the world’s largest leasing firm, which is owned by AIG, which after the bailout is now 80% owned by the United States government.
However, despite the insistence of the transport minister, French officials insist they had determined in 2007 that the plane was faulty and that the plane has not returned to France since. The honorary consul in Marseille for the Comoros Islands referred to Yemenia’s planes as “flying cattle trucks.” A Comoran commented that some people stand on the aircraft all the way. Others have complained for years. Yemenia was set to be interviewed soon by the EU committee that can ban airlines from their airspace.
For those who try to link this with the Air France flight, experts insist there is no possible connection. The causes theorized involving the Airbus Fly-By-Wire system and the pitot tubes have no specific analog on the Airbus 310, an older aircraft which has no fly-by-wire.
Although there were conflicting reports earlier, there was a lone survivor, 14 year-old Bakari Baya, a Marseille resident who was traveling with her mother. Bakari was apparently conscious. We will have more stories on the situation as it develops, including how one child miraculously survived.

Fleet Week is a United States Navy, Marine Corps, and Coast Guard tradition in which active
military ships recently deployed in overseas operations dock in major cities for one week.
Often, Fleet Week includes displays and flights by various aircraft. I had the opportunity for up
close views of the MV–22 Osprey and a CH-53 Sea Stallion. Thus, this report is more about these two aircraft rather than a report on the entire event.
The MV–22 Osprey is the world's first production tilt-rotor aircraft with one three-bladed prop-rotor,
turbo-prop engine, and transmission nacelle mounted on each wingtip. It is classified as a
powered-lift aircraft capable of both vertical takeoff and landing, as well as short take off and
landing. It was designed to be the best combination of a conventional helicopter and a longrange,
high-speed turbo-prop airplane. The V-22 Osprey was made in cooperation with Bell
Helicopter and Boeing Helicopter.
The Osprey first flew in 1989. The U.S. Marine Corps begin training with the Osprey in 2000 and
used them in the field in 2007. The U.S. Air Force started using their version of the Osprey in
2009. The Osprey has been used in operations in Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya and Kuwait.
The Osprey has a maximum speed of 305 knots (at 15,000 feet), a maximum altitude limit of
14,000 feet, and an operational range of 1,100 nautical miles. For takeoff and landing, it
typically operate as a helicopter with the nacelles vertical and rotors horizontal. Once airborne,
the nacelles rotate forward 90° in as little as 12 seconds for horizontal flight, thus converting
from a helicopter to the more fuel efficient, higher speed turbo-prop aircraft.
The Osprey is powered by two Rolls–Royce AE 1107C engines. To ensure that the Osprey can
still fly if one engine fails, the engines are connected by drive shafts to a common central
gearbox. However, the Osprey is generally not capable of hovering on only one engine.
The Osprey is equipped with a glass cockpit which incorporates four multi-function displays and
a shared central display unit. The auto pilot system can take the aircraft from forward flight into
a 50 foot hover with no pilot interaction, other than programming the system. Since the fuselage
is not pressurized, personnel must wear oxygen masks above 10,000 feet.
The Osprey can be armed with one M240 machine gun (.308 caliber) or a M2 machine gun (.50
caliber) on the loading ramp. A belly dash-mounted, remotely-operated gun turret system was
created for the Osprey but seldom used due to its hefty 800 pound weight. Ospreys are
routinely escorted by helicopter gunships and close air support aircraft in order to allow the
Osprey to focus on their transport role.
The Osprey is manned by a crew of four including a pilot, copilot and two flight engineers. It can
transport a maximum of 32 troops and carry a maximum internal cargo load of 20,000 pounds or
up to 15,000 pounds on its two external hydraulic lifts. The Osprey is 57' 4" long with a
wingspan of 45' 10". It's maximum height, with nacelles vertical, is 22' 1". It's rotors, which can
fold in 90 seconds, are 84' 7" wide. The Osprey has a range of 879 nautical miles and a combat
radius of 390 nautical miles.
|Ospreys are on display at the American Helicopter Museum and Education Center in West
Chester, Pennsylvania, at the National Museum of the United States Air Force at WrightPatterson
Air Force Base in Dayton, Ohio, and the New River Aviation Memorial at Marine
Corps Air Station New River in Jacksonville, North Carolina.
The CH-53 Sea Stallion is a heavy–lift transport helicopter manufactured by Sikorsky Aircraft. It
was originally contracted by the United States Marines with required capabilities including a load
capacity of 8,000 pounds, operational radius of 100 nautical miles, and a speed of 150 knots.
It's desired use was for assault transport of heavy equipment, aircraft recovery, personnel
transport, and medical evacuation.
The Sea Stallion is managed by a crew of four - pilot, copilot, crew chief, and aerial observer. It
can carry a load of 55 troops or 24 rescue baskets with medical attendants; an internal cargo
load of 8,000 pounds or an external load up 13,000 pounds on it single-point sling hook.
|The Sea Stallion is 88' 6" in length, 28' 4" wide and stands 24' 11" tall. It features a 6-bladed
main rotor with a diameter of 72' 2.8" and a four-bladed tail rotor - both of which are capable of
folding to save space on Naval vessels. It's maximum takeoff weight is 42,000 pounds,
including a useful load of 8,000 pounds.
This aircraft was initially powered by twin General Electric T64-6 turbo-shaft engines providing
2,850 shaft horsepower. The engines were upgraded multiple times including a T64–413
increasing its performance to 3,925 shaft horse power and a maximum speed of 170 knots. It
has a range of 540 nautical miles and a combat radius of 100 miles. It's service ceiling is 16,750
It is usually equipped with two door-mounted .50 caliber BMG GAU-15/A machine guns.
Upgrades to the Sea Stallion included defensive and infrared countermeasures.
|The CH-53 Sea Stallion was first used in the Vietnam war, recovering downed aircraft and evacuating
personnel. It is also know for its use in the attempted rescue of American hostages in Iran in
1980 and in Grenada to deploy the 8th Marine Regiment during Operation Urgent Fury and then
evacuate 233 U.S. students. Sea Stallions were also used by the Air Force, Marine Corps, and
Navy in support of Operation Iraq Freedom, as well as Operation Enduring Freedom in
While retired by the U.S. military in 2012, the Sea Stallion remains in military service with
Germany, Iran, Israel, and Mexico. It also has been converted for civil use as a fire fighting
aircraft in the U.S. A display of a Sea Stallion can be seen at Fort Worth Aviation Museum in
Fort Worth, Texas.
Free ship tours were open to the public throughout Fleet Week.
There where several demonstration at various locations by the Navy's helicopters and their Parachute Team: the Leap Frogs. Unfortunately one of them dies this year, as his parachute failed to open.
In addition, a tri-state airport was home to the V-22 Osprey for Fleet Week. This multi-mission, tiltrotar military aircraft allows for both vertical takeoff and landing, and short takeoff and landing capabilities. It is designed to combine the functionality of a conventional helicopter with the long-range, high-speed cruise performance of a turboprop aircraft.

The airport announced a 10,000-square-foot (930 m2) expansion in August 2008, which increased the number of gates from two to four and allowed Allegiant to triple the number of flights from Phoenix. The expansion was funded by a loan from Allegiant which will be repaid by passenger fees.
I was booked for a trip out of Santa Barbara to Denver then to Chicago. I have a brain injury and had wheel chair assistant due to my injury. Our flight was delayed for 6 hours at Santa Barbara which is were my daughter lives. I was going to reschedule my flight but was given a phone number to the hotel. This with the airport assistant made me feel comfortable enough to continue my travel. At the Denver airport was when we were told there was going to be no hotel. Thank God one other person was in the same situation as I was. My assistant took me to McDonald’s for food then took me to our gate. So from 11:00 PM till our fight at 6:30Am I was left with a stranger. We slept on the floor for a few hours. I was afraid to leave for food the next morning. Needless to say I was dissatisfied with the lack of communication about no hotel. My safety wasn’t a concern of your airline. My back still hurts after two days. I hope after this review your company will take others with disabilities into consideration before making decisions that could put them in a potentially dangerous situation.
The airline tends to offer lower fares, which requires strict cost control. Part of the airline's lower cost structure included operation of McDonnell Douglas MD-80 jets, which the airline can purchase and refurbish for as little as $4 million. While the aircraft are less fuel-efficient than newer planes, Allegiant was able to purchase used MD-80s outright for one-tenth the cost of a new Boeing 737 although Allegiant has subsequently purchased used Boeing 757-200s, Airbus A319s and Airbus A320s. (The 757s were acquired for its Hawaii service while the Airbus jets were beginning to replace MD-80 aircraft). As of November 2018, however, Allegiant no longer operates any MD-80 aircraft, relying instead on an all-Airbus fleet. Given the low cost of ownership, Allegiant is able to operate its aircraft less (seven flight hours per day on average versus 13 hours per day at JetBlue Airways), which helps keep labor costs lower. Overall, Allegiant operates with 35 full-time workers per plane compared to more than 50 at other carriers. Allegiant schedules their crew members so that they always return to their domicile at the end of the day, thus avoiding the need for hotel rooms which can be a costly expense for airlines.

In February 2002, the airline launched its first regional product, Frontier JetExpress, initially operated by Mesa Airlines using CRJ-200 regional jets. Similar to "express" operations of other carriers, Frontier JetExpress was targeted for markets to and from Denver that do not generate traffic sufficient to support Frontier's smallest mainline jet, the Airbus A318, but could still offer lucrative business with a smaller jet.
In July 2007, the airline partnered with 20th Century Fox's film The Simpsons Movie to become the "Official Airline of Springfield". In addition a contest was held in which the grand prize would be a trip on JetBlue to Los Angeles to attend the premiere of the film. The airline's website was also redecorated with characters and their favorite jetBlue destinations and the company was taken over by the show/film's businessman villain Montgomery Burns.
jetBlue's founders had set out to call the airline "Taxi" and therefore have a yellow livery to associate the airline with New York. The idea was dropped, however, for several reasons: the negative connotation behind New York City taxis; the ambiguity of the word taxi with regard to air traffic control; and threats from investor JP Morgan to pull its share ($20 million of the total $128 million) of the airline's initial funding unless the name was changed.
On October 13, 2009, the airline unveiled a modification to its livery in commemoration of the upcoming 10th anniversary of the airline in February 2010. Besides a new tail design, the revised livery includes larger "billboard" titles extending down over the passenger windows at the front of the aircraft. The logo word 'jetBlue' will no longer be silver and blue but now a dark, navy blue.
Frontier Airlines (F9) is a Denver-based low-cost carrier. The carrier flies to about 65 destinations in the United States, Costa Rica, the Dominican Republic, Jamaica and Mexico. Its fleet of planes each feature a single Economy Class cabin. However, passengers can upgrade to Select Seating, which is located toward the front of the plane, or Stretch Seating, which features more legroom. Frontier's hub is based at Denver International Airport (DEN). An additional eight airports have been designated as focus cities. The airline has a codeshare agreement with Great Lakes Airlines.
Allegiant Air has been closely monitored by the FAA due to many emergency landings and aborted takeoffs. ABC interviewed a former Allegiant mechanic, who said "Dedicated steps were not being performed with maintenance manuals or even with general practices, before an aircraft is released." Many of these incidents had involved Allegiant's aging MD-80 aircraft, which as of November 2018 have been replaced by newer Airbus A320 family aircraft. 46 of the 86 aircraft have made emergency landings, all of which were on MD-80s. The average age of Allegiant's MD-80 fleet was 29 years compared to less than 13 years for its Airbus fleet.

Entitled Origins, Worlds, and Life: A Decadal Strategy for Planetary Science and Astrobiology 2023-2032, the report is part of a 20-year history of the NRC offering periodic roadmaps for America’s space exploration strategies, during which time many of the recommendations made have gone on to shape NASA’s activities and goals.
The next decade of planetary science and astrobiology holds tremendous promise. New research will expand our understanding of our solar system’s origins, how planets form and evolve, under what conditions life can survive, and where to find potentially habitable environments in our solar system and beyond.
– from the introduction of the 2023-2032 Decadal Survey
The report – running to 522 pages – includes input from science organisations, universities and research institutions from around the world. Within it, the committee has identified twelve priority science questions that should be the focus of NASA and America’s work in space. These are divided into three categories: Origins, Worlds and Processes, and Life & Habitability, with each category including a total of 12 major areas of investigation, with the committee outlining the robotic and crewed mission proposals that NASA should consider undertaking in support of these investigations.
This report sets out an ambitious but practicable vision for advancing the frontiers of planetary science, astrobiology, and planetary defence in the next decade. This recommended portfolio of missions, high-priority research activities, and technology development will produce transformative advances in human knowledge and understanding about the origin and evolution of the solar system, and of life and the habitability of other bodies beyond Earth
– from the 2023-2032 the Decadal Survey
Highlights of the survey’s recommendations include:
Flagship missions are the “big ticket” missions for NASA. At the time of the last Decadal Survey (2011), the flagship missions were identified at the Mars 2020 mission, Europa Clipper, and the Uranus Orbiter and Probe (UOP) – the latter ultimately losing out to the other two.
This being the case, UOP has been awarded the highest priority within the 2023-32 survey. It would deliver an in-situ atmospheric probe into Uranus’ atmosphere and conduct a multi-year orbital tour to study the ice giant and its system of moons, with the objectives including the study of Uranus’ interior, atmosphere, magnetosphere, satellites, and rings.
Due to the need to utilise planetary fly-bys (gravity assists) to reach its destination, UOP would not launch until the early 2030s, when planetary alignments would facilitate the needed assists, with the primary science mission around Uranus commencing in the mid-2040s.
A second Flagship mission identified by the survey as worthy of consideration by NASA is the Enceladus Orbilander. If funded, this mission would launch in the late 2030’s sending a compact robot vehicle to orbit Saturn’s icy moon of Enceladus, passing through the plumes of water we know to be escaping the moon’s subsurface ocean as a result of gravitational interactions with Saturn. The aim of the mission is to to sample and study the plumes before making a landing on Enceladus in the early 2050s to search for biosignatures either in the surface ice.
New Frontier Missions
Regarded as “medium priority” missions, the New Frontier missions identified in the survey for further / continued development are designed to increase our understanding of the major and minor bodies in the solar system. The cost of such missions is capped at US $1.65 billion, with NASA likely to select two new missions from the crop of recommendations. They comprise:
- Europa Clipper: a former Flagship mission, now downgraded to reflect its advanced status, this is due for launch in October 2024. It will arrive in orbit around Jupiter where it will fly by Europa multiple times, investigating the moon’s habitability and help identify a potential landing site for a future Europa Lander mission.
- A Ceres sample / return mission to follow-up on the Dawn mission’s orbital survey of the asteroid Ceres.
- A comet sample return mission.
- A network of lunar landers to collect geophysical data.
- A Saturn orbiter mission to follow-up on the Cassini mission.
- The Oceanus Titan orbiter, proposed but not selected as a 2017 Frontiers Mission.
- A Venus “in situ atmospheric” mission – possibly a vehicle to deliver a balloon that would drift through the upper reaches of Venus’ atmosphere.
- A Triton (Saturn’s largest moon) orbital mission.
For the first time, a Decadal Survey identifies Mars as a dedicated target for exploration, specifically underling two missions:
- The long-planned Mars Sample Return mission, which has had its share of ups and downs, and has yet to be properly settled upon by NASA.
- The yet-to-be-defined Mars Life Explorer (MLE) mission designed to look specifically for signs of current microbial life on Mars and to pave the way for future human missions to Mars.
[A] sample return will provide geologic materials that are not represented among Martian meteorites and whose volatile, organic, and secondary mineral composition have not been altered by impact… In addition, sample return will allow for future analyses by instruments and techniques not yet developed. As has been the case with the Apollo samples from the Moon, future analyses are expected to yield profound results for many decades after sample return.
– from the 2023-2032 the Decadal Survey
Lunar and Human Exploration
Unsurprisingly, the survey supports NASA’s lunar ambitions, identifying the need for robotic missions in support of a human presence on the Moon, the establishment of an “Artemis Basecamp” in the south polar region of the Moon. This also recommends much more coordination for human activities on the Moon to be linked with human missions to Mars.
A call for the development and improvement of our abilities to detect and track near-Earth Objects (NEOs) that may come to pose an impact threat for Earth, and the means to mitigate such genuine threats when identified and confirmed.
The highest priority planetary defence demonstration mission to follow DART and NEO Surveyor should be a rapid-response, flyby reconnaissance mission targeted to a challenging NEO, representative of the population of objects posing the highest probability of a destructive Earth impact (~50-to-100 m in diameter). Such a mission should assess the capabilities and limitations of flyby characterization methods to better prepare for a short-warning-time NEO threat.
– from the 2023-2032 the Decadal Survey
Which of the missions outlined by the survey are actually adopted will be down to a combination of NASA planning and congressional funding / willingness to support the goals and aspirations set out throughout the report.
Picture of the Week
SpaceX Starship Update
SpaceX has been moving ahead rapidly with the development of both prototypes of their Starship / Super Heavy vehicles and the facilities required to manufacture and launch them. Here’s a quick summary of key activities since my last update:
- Booster 7 (sans any Raptor 2 engines) has undergone initial cryogenic and pressure testing whilst on both the orbital launch platform and the “Can Crusher”.
- The test on the launch stand marked the first time any Super Heavy booster has had both tanks filled with cryogenic liquid (in this case, liquid nitrogen).
- The tests on the “Can Crusher” have comprised both an ambient nitrogen pressure test of the tanks under high gaseous pressures and liquid nitrogen load tests.
- The load tests have apparently included the use of the thrust rams of the “Can Crusher”, designed to simulate the pressure exerted against the rocket as a result of the thrust from its Raptor 2 motors.
At the same time as this work has been carried out, work on the next Super Heavy rocket – Booster 8 – appears to have been accelerated.
- This has led to a degree of speculation that Booster 8 will actually make the first orbital launch attempt, not booster 7, which may be consigned to the role of a structural test article (much like Booster 1 and Booster 4).
- The reason for this thinking is that Elon Musk has stated that with Raptor 2 production still ramping up, there will only be sufficient engines for a single booster by May, when SpaceX hope to complete the first orbital launch test. So if these engines are to be used on Booster 7, there seems little need to accelerate the assembly of Booster 8.
It also now seems likely that Starship 24 will be the vehicle to participate in the orbital launch attempt with either Booster 7 or 8. Originally, the inclusion of a payload bay door to facilitate the deployment of Starlink satellites, had been thought of as indicative that Ship 24 would be held over until SpaceX is ready to commence testing Starlink deployments with Starship.
However, Ship 25 has also now been fitted with a similar mechanism, suggesting that it will be a feature of Starship vehicle during at least the next phase of development. If so, it would fit with the idea that SpaceX would like to demonstrate Starship’s ability to deliver payloads to orbit as soon as possible, even if other aspects of the system are still in development.
Nor is this the end of progress over recent weeks:
- The SpaceX launch faculties at Kennedy Space Centre’s Pad 39A have seen the foundations for the new Starship / Super Heavy launch facilities start to come together.
- At Roberts Road just a few kilometres away, the sections of the massive orbital launch tower are being assembled in parallel, with each section additionally being outfitted with all the required plumbing, ducting, etc., it requires.
- This means that when ready, it should be possible for SpaceX to rollout, secure, stack and connect the sections into a finished tower in relatively short order compared to the construction of the tower at Boca Chica, which was erected in stages and the plumbing added after initial construction was completed.
- Also at Robert’s Road, work on the new fabrication and assembly facilities for Super Heavy boosters and Starship vehicles is moving forward.
- All of this progress has perhaps been why SpaceX appear to have abandoned – or at least delayed – the development of a second orbital launch facility at Boca Chica (although this might also be in order to head-off any negative findings by the FAA on those plans when the latter’s environmental study and recommendation is finally published).
- one of the two oil rigs SpaceX purchased for offshore launches has also completed the first stage of refurbishment – the removal of all equipment and elements not required for its use as a floating launch platform – and has been relocated in preparation for more extensive fitting-out to commence.
There is a long way to go before the Starship / Super Heavy system proves itself – from being able to launch successfully through to the routine and safe recovery of both boosters and starship vehicles to demonstrating the system is safe for human flight, let alone routinely flying with crews / passengers or being ready to meet the company’s long-term goal of reach Mars (a very different proposition to launch / landing here on Earth). However, there can be no denying the determination of SpaceX to develop, iterate and expand along their development path. | aerospace |

Now we have learned that Workhorse has received an Experimental Airworthiness Certificate from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to fly their personal drone during the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas next week.
The Surefly is a hybrid octocopter that can carry two passengers. The aerial vehicle can be flown manually with a joystick. Something that should be as easy as flying a DJI drone, according to Workhorse. Or it can be flown in a fully autonomous (drone) mode using sense-and-avoid technology to bring its passengers safely to their destination. A 4-cylinder gasoline engine charges the batteries, which in turn power the electric motors for the eight propellers. The personal helicopter has a range of 70 miles and can lift 400 lbs. The rotor arms can be folded as shown in the photos below. | aerospace |

Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina inaugurated the new Boeing 787-8 to the Biman Bangladesh Airlines fleet at a function at the Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport on Tuesday.
Hasina boarded the aircraft, named Rajhangsha, inspected its inside and talked to the pilots and the crew members after the commissioning ceremony.
With the induction of the Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner, Biman Bangladesh Airlines has now 16 aircraft.
Biman’s acting Managing Director and CEO Captain Farhat Hasan Jamil along with other high officials received the Dreamliner at the airport on September 14.
Earlier, the first and second Boeing 787-8 Dreamliners, named as ‘Akash Beena’ and ‘Hangsabalaka’ respectively, arrived in August and December last year, while the third one known as ‘Gaangchil’ landed in July.
In 2008, Biman Bangladesh Airlines signed a 2.1 billion dollar agreement with Boeing to purchase 10 new aircraft.
Boeing has delivered all the aircraft – four 777-300ER’s, two 737-800’s and four Dreamliners – to Biman.
Rajhangsa is a 271-seat aircraft. It has been designed as 20 percent fuel efficient carrier compared to the other aircraft. The airliner has the capacity to fly 16 hours nonstop with an average speed of 650 miles per hour, according to the officials.
It will provide its passengers with WiFi services at a height of 43,000 feet, allowing passengers to browse the internet or connect with their friends and family from any place of the world. | aerospace |

Recent reports said that Bulgaria’s MiGs had been staying on the ground during the Thracian Eagle 2017 exercise while only US fighter aircraft were flying, because delayed procurements meant that there were not enough engine lubricants for the Soviet-made aircraft.
Karakachanov, speaking after a June 11 meeting with command, engineering and technical staff at Graf Ignatievo airbase near Plovdiv, said that the Defence Ministry’s main priority was to ensure flight safety so that pilots can safely perform their tasks.
During the meeting, Karakachanov took note of the state of the aviation equipment and discussed specific measures to ensure the safety of the flights, the ministry said.
Media reports last week said that the number of flying hours of Bulgarian Air Force pilots was far below the standards of the Nato alliance of which Bulgaria is a member. The Nato standard is 180 hours and the bare minimum is 80. But Bulgarian pilots were getting in only 30 hours in the air.
Karakachanov said that the problem of insufficient flights would be solved only providing more aircraft, which would allow young pilots to fly more.
Asked about salaries of military personnel, Karakachanov said that the Defence Ministry had come up with estimates for the budget for 2018 of 300 million leva (about 153 million euro) and this included an increase in salaries.
“This is not just a matter of motivation, it is a matter of attitude, because the work they are doing and the risks that people take on their shoulders must be appreciated by society,” he said.
Karakachanov said that the government would do its best so that the lubricant for the jets was delivered within 30 days.
He said that unless rapid steps were taken in the next month, the quantities of the engine lubricants would run out.
Orders had been placed in April, May and early June, he said. Karakachanov added that that the government would also try to speed up the procurement process for the supply of spare parts.

The announcement blazed across the headlines of The Moscow Times on April 19: "Russia to Quit Int'l Space Station in 2025 "! Citing "a senior government official" (Vice Prime Minister Yury Borisov), MT reported that Russia will soon officially inform the United States and its other space partners of its withdrawal from the International Space Station (ISS) effective in 2025, and its plans to "deploy a next-generation national orbital service station" of its own instead. Russia's plan, it appears, is to physically detach the ISS modules that Russia owns from the station. | aerospace |

The Boeing corporation has three significant airlines in the pipeline with production halts owing to clarification and certifications: the Boeing 737-10 max and the Boeing 787, as well as the Boeing 777x, which is in the experimentation phase.
With all of the challenges and successes, Boeing is poised to challenge the market with great confidence. The long wait has finally come to an end. Since the Farnborough airshow, the company’s reputation has improved and demand has returned to pre-show levels.
On Boeing last day at Farnborough, the company maintained high order rates, and airlines are placing new orders. Surprisingly, the Boeing 737 Max is in high demand, with orders for more than 253 aircraft, including purchase commitments for purchasing aircraft. As Boeing demonstrated, the majority of commercial and defense products are attracting attention.
- Norwegian Air Shuttle ASA recommitment to purchase 30 Boeing 737 MAX 8 aircraft.
- Aviation Capital Group Announce Order for 12 737-8 Jets
- 777 Partners announced a new order and commitment for up to 66 737 MAX jets

- 12 – B737-800 BCF
- 4 – Boeing 767-300 F
- 9 – Boeing 787
- 2 – Boeing 777x
Airbus has also competed fiercely with Boeing, launching a number of technologies at airshows. Airbus displays its best-selling aircraft, the A320 Neo and the A350, as well as other products. Airbus‘ recent legal dispute with Qatar Airways has had a negative influence on the aircraft market here. Qatar Airlines has picked the Boeing 737 Max aircraft after cancelling an order for Airbus A320 aircraft. Aside from that, Airbus has received a good number of orders for A320 aircraft from regular clients.
Airbus also showcased the Airbus A350 ITA airlines exceptional cabin interiors, which were the show’s highlight. We had the aircraft interior tour. Airbus is continuing to develop the Airbus A350 to the next level; as of today, it is the best and most successful aircraft, providing good competition to Boeing aircraft.
- LATAM Airlines reinforces fleet with additional order for 17 A321neo, endorses A321XLR
- easyJet confirms order for a further 56 A320neo Family aircraft
- Delta Air Lines has firmed up orders for 12 A220-300 aircraft
Airbus received the following total orders as of the last day of the Farnborough airshow.
- 17 – A321 neo
- 56 – A320 neo
- 12 – 220-300
Embraer has also performed admirably in the airshow. It displays the important aircraft. In the airshow, an Embraer E192-E2 aircraft with two liveries presents a stunning key display. Embraer anticipated with the eVTOL projects, which have also experienced significant progress. Embraer also got orders for the passenger and freighter versions of the aircraft. In comparison to other airshows, Embraer fared exceptionally well.
- Alaska Air Group Orders Eight New E175 Aircraft for Operation with Horizon Air
- Porter Airlines Orders a Further 20 Embraer E195-E2s to Support Major Expansion Plan
- NAC Places Two Embraer E190F With Astral Aviation
Embraer received the following total orders as of the last day of the Farnborough airshow.
- 8 – 175
- 20 – E195-E2
- 2- E190F
Airbus, Boeing’s sustainable and Hydrogen technology overviews
Boeing and Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd (MHI) announced they will build on their decades-long partnership and collaborate on achieving the world’s ambitious climate targets. The memorandum of understanding (MOU) is focused on jointly studying enabling sustainable technologies – including hydrogen, electrification, sustainable materials, zero climate impact propulsion technologies, and new aircraft design concepts as well as commercializing sustainable aviation fuels (SAF). Boeing and MHI will together study new feed stocks and technologies for SAF production, including in the area of green hydrogen and carbon capture.
Airbus has joined Hy24, the world’s largest clean hydrogen infrastructure investment fund managed by Ardian, a global private investment firm, and FiveTHydrogen, an investment manager specialising in clean hydrogen initiatives.

When purchasing drone, a lot of people want to test its capabilities immediately. However, beginning pilots suddenly forget that they have almost no experience in operating drones and make a lot of stupid but quite expensive mistakes. Harmful tips for beginning quadcopter pilots will help to avoid very popular misconceptions about drones operating.
20 harmful tips on piloting drones
1. The first time you run a drone, you should check what maximum height it can reach. Don’t let either wind, or rain and snow, frighten you.
2. To run a drone in the park is a great idea! It’s been so long since you have scaled high trees with almost naked trunks and tried to bring down an expensive device stuck among branches with expedient means.
3. A quadcopter equipped with GPS will always find its way home. Even if its battery is dead and it can’t get a satellites signal.
4. Do not write your phone number on the drone because it will never flight too far from such an experienced piloting master like you.
5. Do not draw screws up tight for fixing a GoPro camera. Where can it disappear within dynamic flight?
6. When the drone informs that the battery is almost dead, it is necessary to make it fly to the horizon once again. You should solidify your newly required skills of confident piloting.
7. An expensive drone should not be equipped with GPS tracker. Firstly, 50 dollars don’t grow on trees. Secondly, it weights too much and will decrease the drone speed.
8. Do your friends also want to feel like cool pilots? Give them a control box without doubts! So what if they never heard about drones before and have no idea how much they cost.
9. To learn a piloting art you require only the most expensive and feature packed drone. Only amateurs use cheap versions for practicing.
10. If you got bored to overcome obstacles like cables or trees, you can try to frighten any musclebound person using the drone. And everyone will have fun immediately.
11. You should not check every time whether screws on the quadcopter are tighten tough. Because they can fly off and injure someone.
12. People’s advice during drone piloting is very important. Without them, you wouldn’t even dream of checking a maximum speed or fly right in front of a fast moving car.
13. The best place for practicing in the piloting art is a military base or airdrome. To fly above a taking off plane is an especially cool idea. That’s what all professionals do!
14. If you purchase a big drone, you should definitely test it at home. So what if the room is small, you have already learnt to manoeuvre with perfect accuracy.
15. The quadcopter is just a toy so you can courageously put your finger in rotatory propellers.
16. Professionals know that if one pull a gas stick, the drone will faster response to orders.
17. Children also want to play with the drone so you can entrust them a control box. Or leave it nearby. Anyway, they will not able to handle and lift up the quadcopter in the air.
18. After purchasing the quadcopter, run it at home and make it fly out of the window. It is so simple!
19. Drone security significantly impeded its aerodynamics so you should turn it off.
20. You should certainly equip a hanger with a GoPro camera for the first flight! You have to film a great epic fail for the history when you screw up the whole equipment at once.

The electronic systems department at the Astri Polska company is currently working on more devices, dedicated for being used within the NeoSat programme. Simulation Frond End was the first piece of kit that has been delivered back in March this year. Ultimately, Astri Polska is to deliver one more, identical device. The company would also be tasked with manufacturing another two pieces of kit: Simulated Electrical Flight Model. Both types of devices will be utilized by Airbus Defence and Space to test the electronics of the NeoSat satellites.
The goal of the NeoSat programme is to create a new generation of European telecommunications satellite platform. The innovative solutions applied within the programme would allow for optimization of the power systems efficiency, and enhancement of the satellite’s payload carrying capacity. Ultimately, the NeoSat programme is going to make it possible to cut down the telecommunication satellites maintenance cost by 30%, in comparison with other contemporary designs.
New Generation of Weather Satellite. Polish Involvement.
In May this year Astri Polska has delivered the first Simulation Front End package for the MetOp-SG weather satellites. The aforesaid device was the first one of three examples ordered by ESA. In the upcoming future, the company is going to initiate work on further ESGE systems, this time the work would concern Simulated Electrical Flight Models and RF Suitcases. The latter would be used to conduct testing and validation of the ground stations responsible for maintaining the communications link with the orbiting satellites.
MetOp-SG is a European weather satellites programme. The mission of the aforesaid satellite platform is to deliver weather data for the purpose of climate monitoring and increasing the accuracy of weather forecasting. The programme is a joint undertaking pursued by ESA and EUMETSAT. Currently, two first generation MetOp satellites are present in the outer space. Astri Polska is involved in the Metop-SG (second generation) project, the goal of which is to place 2nd generation satellites in the orbit.
Astri Polska’s Involvement in the Jupiter Probe Programme
JUICE (JUpiter ICy moons Explorer) remains one of the main projects within the ESA’s “Cosmic Vision 2015-2025” long-term plan. JUICE probe is to reach the Jupiter (2030), and throughout at least 3 years it would be tasked with execution of detailed observations of the gas giant and its three icy moons: Ganymede, Callisto and Europa. The probe is to be launched in 2022. Airbus Defence and Space acts as the prime contractor within the project.
Astri Polska would be tasked with delivering software (Real Time Simulation) and two ground-maintenance system packages (Simulation Front End). The aforesaid solutions would allow for execution of electronic systems tests for the probe, and they would also make it possible to obtain a preliminary view of its operation. The tests are to take place before the probe is sent into the orbit, thanks to which it would remain possible to introduce potential modifications to its systems. The equipment mentioned above will be delivered later, in 2018.

This Goose, serial number B-81, carried Bureau of Aeronautics Number (Bu. No.) 37828 in military service which began August 31, 1944. In civilian service for the US Fish and Wildlife Service it was given the designation N703, which is the FAA tail number. Many of the markings on the fuselage reflect the aircraft military service during World War II.
Our Goose was manufactured and approved by the military August 31, 1944 as a JRF5. It first saw service with the United States Marine Corps, and was stationed at several Naval Air Stations including Annapolis, Point Mugu, and Santa Barbara.
In the 1960's it was surplussed to the US Fish and Wildlife Department, and operated out of Anchorage until being sold to a private owner in 1974.
N703 then sat dormant in the weeds on the shore of Lake Spenard (part of Lake Hood seaplane base at Anchorage international Airport) until being purchased by John Pletcher, and restored to original condition. Ownership has recently been transferred to B-81 LLC, which now owns and operates the aircraft.
The focus of the restoration was to keep it simple--bringing it back to its original condition from the 1940's. The restoration took nearly two years of work, totalling over 8000 labor hours. Since the airplane spent a long time in storage with the military and saw very few modifications, N703 is likely the most original military Goose in existence.
Since 1996 our Goose has been a familiar sight flying out of Anchorage, Alaska.

Yesterday, Sheikh Hamdan, Crown Prince of Dubai, attended the first test flight of the Autonomous Air Taxi (AAT), which took place near the Jumeirah Beach Park in Dubai.
The sky taxi, supplied by Volocopter, a Germany-based specialist manufacturer of autonomous air vehicles, is designed to transport people without human intervention or a pilot on board.
Some of the features of the vehicle include environmentally-friendly construction, low noise levels, and clean electricity usage.
"Dubai has completed a test flight of the world’s first pilotless flying taxi in the city as part of ambitious transport plan"
At present, the prototype can carry two people, has a maximum flight time of approximately 30 minutes, and a maximum airspeed of 100 km/h.
The flying taxi service, introduced by Dubai’s Road and Transport Authority (RTA), will be integrated with public transport systems including the Dubai Metro, Dubai Tram, public buses, marine transit modes and taxis.
The plans also include the launch of a smartphone app to allow easy access to the service for potential users. On the app, users will be able to book flights, track the journey on their mobile phones, and receive booking reference details.
“This is a something that has never been done before. We are so happy that this happened in Dubai. From a Dubai Civil Aviation Authority perspective, this proof-of-concept flight makes history and we are proud to be a support entity,” Michael Rudolph, Head of Aviation Regulations and Safety at Dubai Civil Aviation Authority told Gulf News.
A drone that can carry people will begin regular operations in Dubai after the certification process is completed, which is a projected to be within the next 5 years.
Dubai has set itself a target for autonomous transport to account for a quarter of total trips taken by 2030. | aerospace |

The Polikarpov I-16 fighter, developed by 3rd party studio OctopusG, is now available for download!
The I-16 was a Soviet, monoplane fighter developed during the 1930s inter-war years. It was innovative for its time with a low-wing cantilever design and retractable landing gear. It was the USSR’s primary fighter at the start of World War 2 where it primarily battled the Bf 109 Emil. In addition to the Second World War, the I-16 was also used in the Spanish Civil War and the second Sino-Japanese War.
The I-16 type 24 was powered by an M-63 radial engine that gave it a top speed of 462 kph. The aircraft was armed with four 7.62 ShKAS machine guns. In total, 7,000 single seat versions of this famous fighter were built.
The I-16 is a fun and interesting aircraft and further grows our stable of warbirds. This aircraft is particularly interesting when flown in virtual reality.
DCS World Open Beta Update
In this week’s Open Beta update, we added support for precise JDAM coordinate targeting in Pre-Planned mode, by displaying latitude and longitude coordinates down to hundredth of a second on the Mission Editor map and the F10 View map
Degrees/Minutes/Seconds/Decimal values. Cycle through coordinate display option available by press Left Alt + Y. Once you enter Degrees/Minutes/Seconds, press ENT on the UFC to then enter the two-digit decimal value and then press ENT again on the UFC.
Please read the complete Open Beta changelog here
Regarding the Hornet, this was a light cycle due to several large and complex features in development during the last couple of weeks. In particular, the Litening II targeting pod, AGM-154 JSOW glide bomb, full simulation of the INS and GPS navigation systems, dynamic launch zones and loft modes for JDAM and JSOW, and other items.

MIDDLETON, Wis. — An aerospace company with ties to Dane County plans to use millions in federal funding to continue its research into new technologies and advanced rocket components, company leaders said.
Sierra Space was recently awarded a $20,200,000 contract with the federal government to work on the development of the Advanced Upper Stage Rocket Engine (VR35K-A). Sen. Tammy Baldwin joined Tom Crabb — general manager of Sierra Space’s space applications sector — for a tour of the company’s Middleton facility following the announcement of the finalized contract.
Engineers at Sierra Space are co-investing with the Air Force Research laboratory in an effort to update the nation’s upper-stage rocket engines as most that are currently in use were developed in the 1950s.
“We’re not just talking about one vehicle or one system or one spacecraft, we’re talking about an entire platform that helps people access and operate in space, and really our goal is to focus on how we can use space to generate new products, generate new capabilities that actually come back and benefit humans on Earth,” Crabb said.
In addition to furthering the U.S.’s goals for space travel, Crabb said the company’s long-term goal is to develop new opportunities for commercialization in space, including research facilities where advances in medicines, biopharma, and material development.
Opening up the great beyond to tourism isn’t out of the question either.
“I want to see sports in space so that everyone can go access,” Crabb said. “We’re working on the dream chasers that can fly cargo up and down from space and land on a runway; where people can go up and down from space on a crew version of that dream chaser and land on a runway and then go home.”
Additional work on the VR35K-A rocket project will be performed in Baraboo. It’s expected to wrap up by the end of 2024. According to a press release from Sen. Baldwin’s office, the project has helped support more than 100 new jobs in Baraboo.

2012 Association for Unmanned Vehicle Systems International (AUVSI) Student Unmanned Aerial Systems (SUAS) Competition
The Rotary Open Source Autonomous Miniature Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (ROSAMUAV) team is using the Quadtavius quadrotor for the 2012 Association for Unmanned Vehicle Systems International (AUVSI) Student Unmanned Aerial Systems (SUAS) Competition. This document details the systems engineering for the development of the Quadtavious Unmanned Aerial System. This unique rotary-wing system is comprised of four parts: the airborne system, the payload system, the ground control station (GCS) and the imaging ground station (IGS). The airborne system is described with its subsystems: airframe and autopilot. The payload system is composed of payload avionics, payload control, and robust automatic target detection algorithms. The GCS includes autonomy supervision, Command and Control (C&C) and real-time response to actionable intelligence. The IGS integrates an autonomous target recognition and the real-time imagery display. These four components work together to create a robust and reliable system, and likely, the most unique of any seen at the AUVSI SUAS competition. Team ROSAM hopes to make history as the first quadrotor to complete the AUVSI SUAS mission. Team ROSAM is confident in their UAS and its ability to safely complete the mission. Team ROSAM’s UAV Quadtavious, is a unique blend of high-integrity avionics, durable light weight composite construction, rigorous testing and tuning, system validation and teamwork.

- 12 July 2020
Iran has said the misalignment of air defence equipment was responsible for the accidental downing of a Ukrainian passenger plane in January.
In a report released on Saturday, the Civil Aviation Organisation of Iran (CAOI) blamed “human error” and poor military communication.
All 176 people on board were killed when the plane was hit by two missiles shortly after take-off in Tehran.
Iran initially denied responsibility for the incident.
But after Western intelligence officials said evidence pointed to Iranian involvement, the country admitted fault, saying it had mistaken the plane for a cruise missile. Iranian President Hassan Rouhani described it as an “unforgivable mistake”.
The Ukraine International Airlines flight was downed on 8 January amid heightened tensions between Iran and America.
Iran’s air defences had been on high alert at the time. Hours earlier, the country had fired ballistic missiles at two US bases in Iraq in retaliation for the killing of top Iranian general Qasem Soleimani by a US drone strike in Baghdad.
What does the report say?
A full version of the CAOI’s report has not been made publicly available, but excerpts have been published by state news agency Fars.
In its findings, the CAOI said the passenger plane travelled in a normal flight corridor, but the air defence unit that targeted it had recently moved and failed to calibrate its equipment correctly. As a result, it misidentified the civilian plane as a hostile object. | aerospace |

Vector is an agnostic software solution designed to address the air traffic and network management challenges of current and future advanced air mobility (AAM) operations. It is focused on fleet and vertiport operators, as well as on service providers such as Air Navigation Service Providers (ANSP).
Eve is making progress towards releasing an operational version of the Vector software that customers can test and trial.
The Vector software is intended to allow electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft to be integrated with other aircraft flying in low-level urban airspace, and provide the automation needed to enable urban air mobility (UAM) market scalability. Eve so far has 14 customers for the Vector solution, including fleet operators, vertiports, and airspace and flow management providers.
Eve said that, with Vector, eVTOL operators can make their operations more efficient, vertiports can manage resource availability, and ANSPs and other service providers for UAM can optimize the airspace and air traffic network for users.
In November 2023, Eve partnered with the fractional ownership provider Flexjet to conduct a simulation to validate and refine Vector’s capabilities under real-scenario conditions and to better understand the software’s commercial viability and applications. The simulation, which took place in the U.K., involved 18 flights across eight aerodromes, and exercised 26 different routes with alternative landing locations to test standby flight plan functionality. The team also tested departure and destination delays, flight cancellations, and in-flight emergencies,
Eve said that the simulation found gaps between current ATM systems and those that would be required to support UAM operations, including a lack of integration between fleet and vertiport operator systems to coordinate eVTOL flights safely and efficiently. The company added that it is prioritizing the development of services that address these gaps, including integrated flight planning, management of alternate landing locations, and conformance management.
Backed by Embraer, Eve is taking a wide-ranging approach to the emerging UAM market, including development of an eVTOL project, a global service and support network, and an air traffic management solution.

The FAA is planning on issuing a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) for an Airworthiness Directive (AD) affecting the Boeing 737 MAX “in the near future,” the agency said in a July 21 statement published on its website.
A 45-day public comment period is being planned along with the NPRM to allow for feedback on proposed design changes and crew procedures that have been established in response to the Lion Air and Ethiopian Airlines.
According to the FAA, a number of key steps remain to eventually return the MAX to passenger carrying service, including a final review by the the FAA’s Flight Standardization Board (FSB) and the Joint Operations Evaluation Board (JOEB). Both boards are tasked with reviewing proposed training for flight crews.
The FAA will also publish a final FSB report after the close of the public comment period, and will work with their multi-agency technical advisory board to review Boeing’s final design documentation as well. Next, the agency will issue a Continued Airworthiness Notification to the International Community (CANIC) and a final Airworthiness Directive (AD) to operators providing final corrective actions needed prior to re-entering the aircraft into service.
Finally, the FAA will rescind the grounding order and review and approve new training programs for 737 MAX operators. | aerospace |

Robert Morgan, who was a native of Asheville, N.C. Morgan died at his home in Asheville in 2004.
After completing their tour of duty, Morgan and his crew flew the Memphis Belle back to the United States to sell war bonds and drum up support for the war effort. When the war ended, the Memphis Belle — like so many other planes, tanks and battleships at the time — was slated to be salvaged. City leaders in Memphis, however, had other plans for the famous bomber. In early 1946, they traveled to Oklahoma and purchased the Memphis Belle for $350.
The plane was a part of civic pride in Memphis and was displayed at various sites around the city, including Mud Island, where it sat before finally being shipped to the National Museum of the U.S. Air Force in Dayton, Ohio, for restoration. That work has taken much time and money because the plane had fallen into great disrepair.
The saga of the Memphis Belle prompted me to recall a similar story involving a piece of aviation history in Johnson City. Many readers might remember the Lockheed T-33 two-seat jet that was loaned to the city by the Air Force for display in 1966. The aircraft, which was developed in 1948 to train pilots for the T-80 “Shooting Star” fighter plane during the Korean War, was first displayed at Kiwanis Park before vandalism and graffiti forced the city to relocate it to the Boys and Girls Club property on West Market Street. Following years of deterioration, the T-33 was moved across the street in 1995 to what was then the National Guard Armory where it remained until a city employee inquired about its whereabouts four years later.
When Ed Fennell, who was serving as the city’s personnel director at the time, learned of the T-33’s fate, he asked the city manager if he and other members of the Johnson City Radio Controllers (a radio-controlled airplane flying club) could restore the aircraft at no cost to the city. Fennell and his team relocated the plane to the city’s former Bowser Ridge Landfill property near Eastern Star Road.
The restored plane was finally dedicated at its new and secure location in 2000. Fennell said last week the T-33 now rests “on top of a landfill instead of being in one.”
He and his colleagues learned an interesting fact about the T-33 during the course of their restoration work: It served as a “chase” plane for NASA during the earky 1960s. One of its pilots was Virgil “Gus” Grissom, a Mercury and Apollo astronaut, who was the first American to fly into space twice.
Grissom died in 1967, along with astronauts Ed White and Roger Chaffee, in a fire during a launch rehearsal for the Apollo 1 mission.

The Air Force Space Command's 30th Space Wing at Vandenberg Air Force Base, Calif., this month awarded the $429 million Western Range Operations Communications and Information contract to InDyne Inc.
It is one of the largest federal IT contracts ever for a small business.
InDyne, which specializes in information systems, science and engineering, and technical and administrative services, partnered with Northrop Grumman's IT division on the contract.
Under the eight-year, cost-plus-incentive-fee/award-fee contract, InDyne will support systems for communications, weather, early warning, surveillance, navigation, space control, satellite operations and space testing activities, the company said in a release.
Prior to the InDyne selection, ITT Industries Inc. had held the contract for several decades.
"The WROCI contract is one of the most complex acquisitions Vandenberg has ever awarded," said Evelyn Swain, contracting officer for the 30th Contracting Squadron. "Competition was keen, but InDyne's proposal proved exceptional and provided the best overall value."
The work entails consolidating six existing contracting efforts into one comprehensive operations and maintenance contract for the 30th Space Wing, officials said.
InDyne and Northrop Grumman IT will be responsible for:Western Range operations and maintenanceSupport servicesTrainingCommand, control, communications, information and computer systems servicesTesting, modifying and installing communications, electronic and security systems at launch facilitiesLaunch control centers and test facilities.
The contract will provide for access to the Non-classified IP Router Network, Secret IP Router Network, LANs and WANs. It becomes effective Oct. 1 and extends to September 2011.Dawn S. Onley writes for Government Computer News. | aerospace |

Two of the four dead were the plane’s test pilots. The crash has been blamed on issues within one or more of the engine control units (ECU). More specifically, the ECUs governing the aircraft’s engines had new software installed, and the problem appears to have been a glitch, not in the software itself, but in the loading of the software, which reportedly cut off the fuel supply to the engines.
Shortly before that, another aircraft, the Boeing 787 dream-liner, was also reported to have a critical technology glitch (see our May 4, 2015 blog for details on this one). But, the gist of that problem is that the plane’s entire electrical system must be rebooted at certain intervals to reset the time counter before it reaches 248 days. Otherwise, the electrical system shuts down.
This leads to the obvious question about whether so much technology in aviation is friend or foe. All modern airliners rely heavily on computer technology and the brand new ones almost exclusively so, needing very little input from a live body in the cockpit. Some argue that computer technology is a major benefit to commercial aviation as it helps reduce pilot workloads, increases fuel efficiency, assists with maintenance issues and generally helps things run more smoothly. This is all true, but it also all rests on the assumption that hardware and software running the planes are working properly.
The story becomes much different when the blue wheel starts to spin in airliner control software. What would be a minor irritant on a laptop computer becomes a potentially catastrophic event. Moreover, some models of modern airliners are so dependent on computer technology that the pilots are not able to override the systems to take over manually in the event of a malfunction. That level of technological dependence is probably not a good idea. Software should assist and not govern the flight crew, and the extent of technology in aircraft today risks over, and possibly deadly, reliance. | aerospace |

Most notably, the mod adds two completely new factions, the tank-heavy Russian Federation and the defence-oriented European Continental Alliance. In addition, the three original factions China, USA and GLA have been greatly expanded and redesigned in a variety of ways, with several new units, buildings, powers and abilities to explore and combine in your in-game tactics.
The Eurocopter EC640 is a light-weight helicopter primarily designed by French engineers. Specifically conceived as a patrol reconnaissance and AWACS aircraft, it is equipped with a sophisticated sensor pod that houses a variety of passive and active radar systems and infra-red cameras. Once deployed from a Region or Field Command, the helicopter will automatically patrol around its parent structure in an extensive circle, providing radar coverage to European forces and detecting any concealed intruder, vehicle or structure inside the base perimeter. Upon detection, the helicopter will remain hovering above the suspect and keep it in its sights until ground elements reach the site to resolve the situation by any means necessary. | aerospace |

The vehicle underwent overhaul at Beriev Aircraft Company (part of United Aircraft Corporation). «The aircraft has successfully passed the tests and has been delivered to the Indian party», — said in the statement of Beriev Aircraft Company.
Eight Tu-142ME aircraft manufactured in Taganrog were delivered to Indian navy in late 1980s. Over the last 25 years Tu-142ME fleet accumulated over 28,000 flight hours without any incidents and established a reputation as reliable vehicles. Indian pilots call these turboprops “Albatross”, because they resemble this bird.
A well-established after-sales support system in India (the most complicated MRO activities are carried out at Hansa air base) as well as scheduled overhaul carried out by the Taganrog-based enterprise have contributed to the aircraft’s success in India. In the area of MRO services and service life extension the Indian naval aviation Command works closely with Rosoboronexport and Beriev Aircraft Company. The enterprise is responsible for after-sales support of the aircraft delivered to India, in particular, this refers to repair, overhaul and deliveries of spare parts; the quality of service was highly appreciated by the Indian party. Over the last 21 years a total of 21 Tu-142ME aircraft were overhauled. | aerospace |

Most of us probably take gravity for granted, but watching this video of an astronaut eating pudding in space reminds us why we totally shouldn’t. During his current 4-month mission aboard the International Space Station, NASA astronaut Jack Fischer has taken a few moments out of his first space mission to give us a play-by-play of what it’s like to eat gooey dessert in zero gravity, and let’s just say it takes a bit of patience and creativity.
While scarfing down a pudding pack isn’t Fischer’s biggest challenge in space, it probably would be ours.
In the brief clip Fischer shared to Twitter recently, he informs us that, “This is going to be pudding the space way,” before squeezing all the contents of a pudding package onto a spoon attached to a flat surface.
Before the entire pile of pudding manages to break free and float around the cabin, Fischer leans over the top of the creamy substance and scarfs most of it down. A little piece gets away but he chases it down and gobbles it up Pac-Man style because eating pudding in space is also kind of like a huge game.
LOL. So that was kind of fun, not to mention way less complicated than making a peanut butter and jelly sandwich in space, which has far more moving parts than this pudding situation.
Fischer hilariously described his towering dessert as a “leaning tower of yumiosity,” which suggests that his days of researching ways to get humans to Mars and erm, playing with pudding, could be followed by a future career as a food space critic. | aerospace |

Cessna R, P, N, M Panel Quick Build Kits
ADVANTAGES OF THE QUICK PANEL
The most glaring advantage of the Quick Panel is the time you save time in the aircraft by reducing the number of splices that need to be made and loose wires that need to be incorporated into the wire bundle. Our harnesses are secured to the Dynon avionics shelf which was already designed to be free and clear of all control cables and current wiring bundles.
The primary HDX harness is wired to various plugs to allow for quick connection of your other systems. During installation, all you have to do is assemble the appropriate connector and plug it in. No more fumbling with multiple wires in tight spaces to splice together; just plug and play. Installing a second HDX screen? We have the secondary harness and plug available for easy integration with no additional wiring required.
By mounting all of your circuit breakers onto the Quick Panel, we can assemble a power plug exclusively for your avionics suite.
The power and ground wires are run into a plug that can match within the aircraft. This takes away the worry of trying to run extra long power wires to circuit breaker locations in the aircraft and keeping your wiring bundle tight during a retrofit.
Just assemble the appropriate plug and connect. To supply power to the breakers, you now only need to run one wire for power to each bus and one ground to the integrated ground block. | aerospace |

The Ministry of Science and ICT and the Korea Aerospace Research Institute(KARI) announced that the rocket lifted off from the Naro Space Center in Goheung, South Jeolla Province as scheduled.
The first-stage segment, the fairing and the second stage separated before reaching an altitude of 550 kilometers 13 minutes and three seconds after blastoff.
The eight satellites carried by the rocket then deployed in successive order every 20 seconds over two minutes, starting with the next-generation Small Satellite Number Two. Nuri completed its flight sequences 18 minutes and 58 seconds after leaving the ground.
The launch was initially scheduled for the same time on Wednesday, but it was called off three hours beforehand due to communication errors between a launch pad facility control computer and a launch control computer.
The issue was fixed after overnight efforts while keeping the rocket erected on the launch pad.
The ministry and KARI will announce whether the launch was a success some 90 minutes after liftoff based on initial contact with the satellites. | aerospace |

Spectators from the immediate area - and more distant parts - came to watch a variety of aircraft take to the skies over Eastern New Mexico in a show that included a performance by the Royal Canadian Air Force Snowbirds.
"The Snowbirds are very famous,"said Paul Lin of Albuquerque, who traveled to the show with a friend, Eric Rankin, and Rankin's family.
The nine-plane Snowbirds act is one reason that the Tucumcari Air Show has been held in the middle of the week for the last several years. Organizers thought the key to competing with air shows in bigger cities was to stay away from the hotly contested weekends.
Jeannette Mitchell of Tucumcari, who has attended her town's air shows since they began, said the growth of the show was evident.
"It's more of an event now. People really enjoy coming back to Tucumcari each year for it," Mitchell said.
The day's activities included flights by a pair of Red Baron biplanes and the Air Force's A-10 "Wart Hog" as well as several aircraft that stayed on the ground at the Tucumcari Municipal Airport.
One, a C-47 that saw service in the China/Burma theatre in World War II, was flown in from its base in Burnet, Texas. The plane had been part of the Royal Canadian Air Force until the mid-1970s. | aerospace |

Kindergartners made super long chains out of pipe cleaners, mixed up chemicals (non-toxic) in test tubes, and launched Alka-Seltzer rockets. Right now the 1st and 2nd graders are building rockets too. They started by making strawkets, and now are working in teams to build cardboard rockets that will launch with real rocket engines. If your family would like to build and launch your own model rockets, I recommend Jake’s Performance Hobbies in Rohnert Park. Jake has been making rockets for many years, is generous with his advice, and also has a good deal on rocket engines. By law, launching rockets in California needs to be done at a permitted site, with permission from the land owner. | aerospace |

As of 2023, Cary has been published over 230 times.
Having developed a fascination with airplanes at an early age, Cary naturally became involved in commercial aviation photography. After many trips to area airports and attending several airline press events, he became a regular contributor to Airline Pilot Careers magazine, landing five cover photos. Aviation photography became considerably more of a challenge following 9/11, and Cary turned his focus to other subject matter. He began photographing concerts, aided by contacts from his clothing company, Verona Clothing, and through his web design for the bands Hidden in Plain View and Punchline, eventually becoming a photographer for Alternative Press magazine.
In 2005, Cary learned about Atlantic puffins and lighthouses while researching photographic opportunities for an upcoming trip to Maine. He has since grown fond of both subject matters, and often seeks out these interests in his travels around the globe. In 2018, Cary achieved a decade-long goal of getting one of his Atlantic puffin pictures on the tail of a Frontier Airlines aircraft (N322FR).

In the aftermath of Hurricane Florence, the FAA is restricting all drone flights to below 200 feet in all of South and North Carolina.
The Low Altitude Authorization and Notification Capability (LAANC) for Part 107 drone flights is currently offline at FAA airports in the hurricane zone.
The FAA issued a vague directive that drone operators may be subject to $20,000 fines “if they interfere with emergency response operations. Flying a drone without authorization in or near the disaster area may violate federal, state or local laws and ordinances, even if a Temporary Flight Restriction (TFR) is not in place”. This implies authorities can, without warning – and possibly without legal authority – declare flights illegal. This is a confusing directive. | aerospace |

Every instrument and system on board Parker Solar Probe (with the exception of four antennas and a special particle detector) will be hidden from the sun behind a breakthrough thermal protection system (TPS)—an eight-foot diameter shield that the spacecraft uses to defend itself against the intense heat and energy of our star.
Every system will be protected, that is, except for the two solar arrays that power the spacecraft. When the spacecraft is closest to the sun, the solar arrays will be receiving 25 times the solar energy they would while orbiting Earth, and the temperature on the TPS will reach more than 2,500°F (1,370°C). The cooling system will keep the arrays at a nominal temperature of 320°F (160°C) or below.

The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) will set a record when it launches 103 satellites in one go on a single rocket in the first week of February
The satellites will be separated from the launch vehicle in different directions. The separation angle and time of separation will be such that one satellite will not collide with another.In June last year, ISRO launched 20 satellites in one go. It took about 26 minutes to launch all the 20 satellites. In 2008, ISRO launched 10 satellites in a single mission. The highest number of satellites launched in a single mission so far has been 37 by Russia in 2014; NASA launched 29 satellites in one go in 2013.

It was launched on November 14, 1969, from the Kennedy Space Center, Florida, four months after Apollo 11. Commander Charles “Pete” Conrad and Apollo Lunar Module Pilot Alan L. Bean performed just over one day and seven hours of lunar surface activity while Command Module Pilot Richard F. Gordon remained in lunar orbit. The landing site for the mission was located in the southeastern portion of the Ocean of Storms.
On November 19 Conrad and Bean achieved a precise landing at their expected location within walking distance of the site of the Surveyor 3 robotic probe, which had landed on April 20, 1967. They carried the first color television camera to the lunar surface on an Apollo flight, but transmission was lost after Bean accidentally pointed the camera at the Sun and the camera’s sensor was destroyed. On one of two moonwalks they visited Surveyor 3 and removed some parts for return to Earth.
Lunar Module Intrepid lifted off from the Moon on November 20 and docked with the command module, which then, after completing its 45th lunar orbit, traveled back to Earth. The Apollo 12 mission ended on November 24 with a successful splashdown. | aerospace |

An Indian communications satellite has stopped talking to ground controllers. The spacecraft went silent so suddenly that an unnamed official was quoted by the Times of India as saying that it was like the satellite had suffered a “cardiac arrest.”
Normally ground controllers see things start to go wrong before a spacecraft stops communicating. This time, however, according to the quoted official, there were no signs at all. This is making it difficult to diagnose the error and try to bring the spacecraft back online. | aerospace |

The Kansas Department of Transportation signed an agreement with the FAA to establish a Kansas Supersonic Transportation Corridor (SSTC) that would be used for testing aircraft up to Mach 3, the state announced today.
The agreement would provide a critical testing site for the emerging group of supersonic aircraft as civil supersonic flight remains banned over land. Flight testing for models such as Aerion’s AS2 and Boom’s Overture is expected this decade, while NASA noise trials with the Lockheed Martin X-59 demonstrator are anticipated by 2024. “This year marks 73 years since Chuck Yeager broke the sound barrier, and with this supersonic flight corridor Kansas will have a unique role in the next generation of supersonic transportation,” said Sen. Jerry Moran (R-Kansas) in the announcement of the agreement.
The 770-nm corridor, designed as a bi-directional “racetrack,” runs from slightly west and south of Garden City, Kansas to nearly Pittsburg in the east at altitudes above FL390. It runs right over Wichita.
In establishing the corridor, the Kansas Department of Transportation (KDOT) Division of Aviation worked with the FAA Central Region and air traffic control, and Lemasters Group Consulting to establish specific procedures for use of the corridor such as requirements for entry into the corridor and clearance before takeoff for direction and flight route to minimize effects of supersonic aircraft on commercial traffic.

Truly superb model, complete with authentic looking rigging, rotating prop, display stand and high quality presentation box. Really good value for money and a giant leap forward for this manufacturer.
Length 4 inches Wingspan 4.75 inches
The de Havilland DH 82 Tiger Moth is a 1930s biplane designed by Geoffrey de Havilland and was operated by the Royal Air Force and others as a primary trainer. The Tiger Moth remained in service with the RAF until 1952 when many of the surplus aircraft entered civil operation. Many other nations used the Tiger Moth in both military and civil applications, and it remains in use as a recreational aircraft. It is still occasionally used as a primary training aircraft, particularly for those pilots wanting to gain experience before moving on to other tailwheel aircraft, although most Tiger Moths have a skid. Many are now employed by various companies offering trial lesson experiences. Those in private hands generally fly far fewer hours and tend to be kept in concours condition. | aerospace |
