"It is in an eccentric orbit appropriately between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter," Kohlhase says dryly.
It is a fitting tribute to the man who calls the exploration of space the ultimate adventure and has gained international recognition during his 44-year career with the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, where he has devoted much of his attention to the exploration of Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune.
It also comes just after the 25th anniversary of the epic Voyager Grand Tour mission that sent two spacecraft to Jupiter and Saturn and the outer planets. In January Kohlhase appeared in "The Cosmic Journey," a two-hour special on A&E celebrating the Voyager anniversary.
Kohlhase, who received a physics degree from Georgia Tech in 1957 and resides in Pasadena, Calif., was mission design manager for the Voyager and Cassini missions and was involved in the earlier Mariner and Viking Mars missions.
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration awarded Kohlhase its highest honor, the Distinguished Service Medal, for his mission design and project engineering contributions to the scientific successes of the many planetary missions during his career. "It was an emotional moment" when he learned of the award in May, Kohlhase says. "I am deeply touched."
While Kohlhase has been on the cusp of space exploration, he has also garnered recognition as a photographer, digital artist, author, educator and environmentalist. Kohlhase worked on the Mariner Mars 1964 and 1969 missions, and was navigation development leader for the follow-up Viking mission to Mars.
In late 1974, Kohlhase was named mission analysis and engineering manager for the Voyager mission that sent two robotic spacecraft to Jupiter and Saturn, with one continuing on to Uranus and Neptune. He guided the work to choose the best flight paths out of 10,000 possibilities, then charted precise flight paths for the two spacecraft, designing "gravity assists" from the planets during flybys for a "slingshot effect" to keep them on course.
It was his grandmother, Kohlhase says, who whetted his creative and adventuresome spirit in childhood, stimulating "right-brain thinking" by telling him adventure stories, encouraging him to read and exposing him to the beauty of nature, painting and architecture.
It was Georgia Tech, he says, that completed his leftbrain thinking with math and physics. He graduated with honors and was president of Tau Beta Pi. He went on to earn his master’s of engineering degree from the University of California at Los Angeles.
"The key is rational imagination," Kohlhase says. "A solid education and unbridled imagination are essential allowing one to think both within and outside of the customary box."
Kohlhase joined JPL in 1959 as a junior engineer and gained recognition soon after. When he gave a presentation to a small design group in the spring of 1960 about sending a spacecraft to Mars, JPL director William Pickering, accompanied by Wernher von Braun, one of the world’s foremost rocket engineers and a leading authority on space travel, dropped by to listen.
The result was so successful that Walter Cronkite used the animations in a space program documentary. When Public Broadcasting Service television presented its "Cosmos" series, Carl Sagan turned to Kohlhase and Blinn to create the computer graphic special effect sequences.
"I escape whenever possible into wilderness travel, photography, model building, writing for popular magazines, golf, creating books and games, teaching, digital imagery and steadily easing into the world of the arts," Kohlhase says.
His favorite photographic themes are wilderness landscapes and wildlife, followed by old places eroded by time and urban cityscapes from the rundown to the magnificent.
"I truly love the wilderness," he says. "I logged 15,000 miles on one pair of Italian hiking boots over a 15-year period, including local hikes in the San Gabriels, the High Sierras and even remote Patagonia. I was never without a camera and, like John Muir, believed in ‘taking only pictures, leaving only footprints.’
"The great wilderness areas must never be destroyed for any reasons whatsoever not for SUV fuel, not for ores to be mined, not for expensive vacation homes, not to solve population excesses, not for trade advantages or increasing market share, not for political compromise, not for any reason at all. We should all be Earth stewards, not Earth destroyers," Kohlhase says.
Kohlhase is enthusiastic about digital art. "I enjoy creating contemporary sculpture, architectural designs or science fiction and fantasy scenes," he says. "Many artists are finding the computer and its remarkable 2-D and 3-D capabilities essential to extending the limits of their work."
Kohlhase was commissioned to create a Mars scape for the 60th birthday celebration of Carl Sagan in 1995.
Three years later, he was appointed by the Planetary Society as director of PlanetTrek, a project to design and install a solar system scale model within the city of Pasadena over a distance of about five miles.
In 1999, his digital sculpture "Fugue" was selected for the Gallery 825 Southern California open art competition. In 2001, he created a 3-D model of a future colony on Mars set in the 22nd century.
Kohlhase officially retired from JPL in March 1998.
"I really intended to retire and do artwork and spend more time with family," he says. But in 2000, JPL invited him to return as an on-call, employee consultant to join the Mars
Program Systems Engineering Team, which conducts engineering studies for the future missions to explore Mars. He agreed. Since then, he’s been working on the team, which has international membership, about two days a week, while also assessing any special issues requested by the Mars program office.
Kohlhase is also on a review board for the Kepler project, which is searching for Earth-size planets around 100,000 other dwarf stars.
"We will eventually have a colony on Mars, but it’s a long time in the future," he says. "Sending humans there is very expensive. It probably will have to be an international mission to keep the costs down for any one country." It is the future that captures Kohlhase’s imagination and he expresses it in his art.
"My knowledge of science and technology drives me to imagine the future of human life, both on Earth and on other worlds, surrounded by its architecture, its advanced machines and perhaps a few surprises from the past," Kohlhase says.
"I yearn to turn my imagination loose for a journey without

Bahrain’s national carrier Gulf Air has announced that it will operate direct flights between Bahrain and Israel from June, the Mako news site reported on Sunday.
Direct flights from Bahrain will land at Ben Gurion Airport. The first flight will take off from Bahrain to Tel Aviv on June 3 and land in the Israeli city at 11:50 a.m.
The news comes a few months after the peace agreement between Israel and Bahrain that was part of the Abrahamic Accords, as well as the meetings in recent months between Gulf Air and senior officials of the Israeli aviation industry, during which both sides expressed support for holding direct flights.
The flights will be operated by Airbus A320neo planes which will offer two classes: the business class, which will have 16 seats and whose ticket will be offered for 1,084 euros, and the economy class, which will have 120 seats and the ticket will cost 250 euros.
Israelis transiting through Bahrain can then reach other destinations such as the Philippines, Maldives and Sri Lanka.
On Sunday, a plane of the Emirati company Wizz Air Abu Dhabi, from Abu Dhabi, landed for the first time in Tel Aviv.
Tickets, which can already be purchased on the Wizz Air website, start at just 89 shekels (22 euros). | aerospace |

Astronaut Scott Kelly, who's been enjoying the view from the International Space Station as part of an experiment to gauge the effects of a long-term Mars mission, has about five months left until he can make his way back home. The American chose to use NASA's RED Epic Dragon 4K (yes, the same camera used in Peter Jackson's The Hobbit trilogy) camera to shoot a video depicting how water reacts in microgravity. Turns out, in near zero gravity, water forms a globule and holds the spherical shape thanks to surface tension. Kelly thrilled science enthusiasts by adding different food colourings to the floating bubble, before throwing in an effervescent tablet. You can see the effects on the video.

Senator Submits Eight Point Document to USAF Contesting F-16 Proposal
WASHINGTON, DC – As the time closed for comments to be submitted from Alaskans, Senator Lisa Murkowski today delivered a stinging and comprehensive refutation of the flawed United States Air Force proposal to transfer the F-16 Aggressor squadron from Eielson Air Force Base to Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson – in addition to the comments received directly from Alaskans through her “Eielson Closing Argument” online initiative she created before the U.S. Air Force allowed comments to be sent via the Internet.
“I am proud to have been a part of this statewide effort; where the Air Force thought they could pit different regions of our state against one another, Alaskans created a united front,” said Murkowski. “Alaskans came out in Southcentral, Alaskans came out in the Interior and they chimed in via the ‘Eielson Closing Argument’ initiative. In addition to all their voices, my letter today is an attempt to sum up all the best arguments and say ‘case closed.’ Alaskans must be heard, have been heard – and I will work in Washington, DC to make certain the Air Force listens.”
Senator Murkowski’s letter (attached) to the United States Air Force is broken down into eight points:
- It is inappropriate for the Air Force to issue an Environmental Impact
Statement and a Record of Decision Downsizing Eielson Before the Commission on the Status of the Air Force has reported to Congress as required by the Senate Appropriations Committee.
- Congress neither mandated nor sanctioned the Air Force decision to reduce its budget by downsizing Eielson. To the contrary the Senate Appropriations Committee has seriously questioned the Air Force’s approach to budget reduction.
- The Air Force Should Conduct an Enterprise-Wide Analysis of Cost Savings Alternatives Throughout the Air Force rather than impose cost savings on a high value, geographically superior air base.
- The Air Force Should Consider the Alternative of Relocating the F-16 Squadron Based in Spangdahlem, Germany to Eielson in support of national security objectives and to enable Eielson to operate more efficiently.
- The Air Force Should Heavily Weigh the Adverse Impact of the Proposed Action on Airmen and Military Families Before Forcing them to Move from Eielson.
- The Air Force Must Consider Possible Adverse Effects of the 168th Air Refueling Wing’s Mission Before Downsizing Eielson.
- Increasing air traffic congestion in the Anchorage area could adversely impact safety and require restrictions on general and civil aviation. Increased jet noise in the Mat-Su Valley could have an adverse impact on hunters, fishermen and wildlife.
- The Air Force failed to consult with Alaska’s 229 Federally Recognized Tribes in the Scoping Process. Moreover, implementing the F-16 relocation could stress the Anchorage housing market to the detriment of lower income Alaskans.

He has taken part in the first spacewalk of the 30 year Space Shuttle Program.
Donald was first trained for the classified military space station program, and then he becomes the first people to walk in the space form the Space Shuttle. He died on Sunday, May 27th, 2018 and the age was 84 when he breathed his last. The associate of the Space Explorers on the Facebook Page wrote on Monday, “So sad to report that we have lost another member of the astronaut family. Fair Skies and tailwinds, Don.”
Peterson joined NASA in 1969, and after two years, he was chosen by the US Air Force among the third group of candidate pilots to crew the planned Manned Orbiting Laboratory (MOL). The Clandestine reconnaissance platform got cancelled after a while, and this put the Peterson and another fellow to join NASA’s astronaut’s corps.
Peterson has waited for about 14 years for the opportunity to fly to space and then his name was included in the first crew of the Space Shuttle Challenger. On April 4th, 1983, Peterson lifted off to space along with STS-6 commander Paul Weitz, pilot Karol “Bo” Bobko and his fellow mission specialist Story Musgrave. The five-day mission is for the deployment of the First Tacking and Data Relay Satellite (TDRS-1) to support the communications between the space shuttle in Earth orbit and also mission control which was present on the ground. He resigned from NASA in 1984.
The family of Peterson said after his death, “Don would tell you his greatest joy was caring for and spending time with his wife and family. Saying ‘I love you’ came easily and often from him. He told his grandchildren, ‘holding them in his rocking chair was better than floating in space.’ His unconditional love for all of them will always be treasured.” | aerospace |

That’s because Schirra bought a Hasselblad 500C camera, a state-of-the-art model used by professional photographers, to take in space. And during his October 1962 flight, Schirra snapped some of the earliest glamour shots of Earth.
“For the first time an astronaut didn’t bring a camera into space just to record data,” Robert Pearlman, one of the country’s leading experts on space collectibles, told the Houston Chronicle. “This camera was brought to capture images of the Earth to share with the world.”
Schirra’s successful modification of an off-the-shelf Hasselblad led to a long relationship between NASA and the Swedish camera company, and nearly all of the iconic Apollo photos from the moon were taken by astronauts using modified Hasselblads.
For these reasons, Pearlman says, there will be considerable excitement around the Nov. 13 auction of Schirra’s Hasselblad, both from space and photo buffs.
The Boston-based auction house, RR Auction, plans to announce the camera auction Tuesday. Although the firm has set a preliminary estimate of $50,000 to $100,000 for the camera, Pearlman, who runs the website CollectSpace, believes the Hasselblad will fetch considerably more, perhaps as much as $1 million.
Schirra was the fifth American astronaut to reach space, flying in a Mercury capsule that made six orbits before splashing into the Pacific Ocean.
During the initial U.S. spaceflights – the first two of which lasted only about 15 minutes – NASA was more concerned about getting its astronauts home in one piece than taking pretty pictures. The space agency, in a race with the Soviet Union, focused on achievements, not public relations activities.
Until Schirra’s flight the astronauts had no cameras, or inexpensive ones. In February 1962, when he became the first American to reach orbit, John Glenn brought a 35mm camera into space. But in terms of photograph quality the Hasselblad, a $450 camera at the time, was a game changer because its wider images captured more of the Earth’s curvature.
“Wally had a personal interest in photography, much more so than some of the other astronauts,” Pearlman said. “He wanted to share the experience with the world.”
Until his death in 2007 Schirra maintained the story that he bought the Hasselblad in a Houston camera store. Although there’s no receipt or official documentation to back that up, Schirra’s account makes sense, Pearlman said.
During the Mercury missions NASA was in the process of moving control of human spaceflight from Langley Research Center in Virginia to Houston. Schirra’s family moved to Houston in 1961, and his flight was the first one in which the city welcomed an astronaut back home.
Schirra’s flight laid the groundwork for future missions during the Gemini program in which astronauts began taking photographs of other astronauts in space, especially outside the capsule during spacewalks.
“The public was fascinated by those pictures of humans in space,” said Jennifer Levasseur, a curator of photography at the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum.
“There’s a realization at NASA that it’s not only important to take pictures of Earth but people too, because that’s what people can relate to.”
That leads directly to the iconic images of Apollo astronauts on the moon, most of whom left their cameras on the lunar surface. To conserve weight for the trip back to Earth they only brought back the camera’s magazine that held the film.
The camera, including the lens, body and film magazine, up for auction has been verified by both packing lists for the Mercury flights as well as photographic documentation. According to Pearlman, the lens being auctioned flew on both Mercury 8, Schirra’s flight, and Mercury 9, which carried Gordon Cooper. There is definitive evidence the camera body flew on Mercury 8, but it’s not certain the camera body flew on Mercury 9. The film magazine attached to the camera flew on Mercury 9.
After his 34-hour flight Cooper kept the camera, and sold it to a private buyer in 1995. Bobby Livingston, an official with the auction house, said he has documents written by Cooper at the time of the sale. Cooper died in 2004.
Until 2012 the legality of astronauts selling their personal artifacts was murky, but that year President Barack Obama signed a law granting NASA’s Mercury, Gemini and Apollo crew members “full ownership rights” to the artifacts they kept from more than 40 years ago.
“Articles that flew on Mercury that are in private hands are very rare, and actual equipment flown aboard the vehicles is incredibly rare,” Pearlman said. “For space artifact collectors this represents a very early example of space equipment.”

Rescue operation is going on 24 hours, but no success has been achieved yet in evacuating the workers.
Indian Army and Indian Air Force are also helping in the rescue operation. In extremely challenging conditions, the Air Force (IAF) transported a rescue equipment weighing about 27500 kg to a gravel airstrip in the high mountains of Uttarakhand, so that drilling could be done to remove the debris and the work of evacuating the workers could be started. .
Of course this operation is very difficult and there is no scope for any kind of mistake in it. Because, the length of Advanced Landing Ground (ALG) in Dharasu, Uttarakhand is very short. Air Force planes were coming with high landing weight due to heavy rescue equipment.
People with direct knowledge of the matter said that the weight of this equipment was equal to a fully loaded large truck.
Before getting approval for this mission, the pilots of American-origin C-130J Super Hercules had taken stock of the runway condition and the problems faced during the operation.
Sources said that to ensure that the advance landing ground was suitable for such important operations, a second helicopter was inspected.
Dharasu Advance Landing Ground is about 30 km from Silkyara Tunnel. It is built at a height of about 3,000 feet above sea level.
Despite the short and narrow airstrip of 3600 feet (1.1 km), it was the nearest advance landing ground for Air Force aircraft.
Sources said that 2 C-130Js had flown to Agra and Palam to check the rescue equipment and to check whether landing at Dharasu Advanced Landing Ground could be done or not. Earlier Dharasu ALG was declared unfit for regular operation of C-130J.
This entire mission of the Air Force depended on two important aspects i.e. the fitness report of Dharasu Advanced Landing Ground and the success of the operation.
Sources said the mission was launched amid the challenges of low visibility conditions during departure, heavyweight landing on a short and narrow airstrip and offloading (cargo) in limited space.
Dharasu ALG did not even have the special machines required to unload the heavyweight equipment from the C-130J.
To avoid delays in unloading goods, a temporary earthen ramp was built at the local level.
A source said, “The complete professionalism of the Indian Air Force aircrew flying the C-130J was evident. The entire operation was carried out in less than 5 hours.”
Lockheed Martin has said on its website that the C-130J goes where other aircraft cannot go for airlift. This reflects its workhorse status as it has 25 operators in 21 countries. Wherever the call for help comes, the C-130J sets out on a mission.
Let us tell you that the tunnel collapse accident in Uttarkashi happened at 4 am on November 12. 200 meters away from the entry point of the tunnel, soil caved in and 40 laborers working there got trapped.
These workers are from Bihar, Jharkhand, Uttar Pradesh, West Bengal, Odisha, Uttarakhand and Himachal Pradesh.
Now help is being taken from special rescue teams of Thailand and Norway to rescue 40 laborers trapped in Uttarkashi Tunnel. In 2018, a Thai rescue firm successfully rescued 12 children and their football coach who were trapped in a cave there for 17 days.
The trapped laborers are safe and they are being given oxygen, medicines, food and water through air compressed pipes. | aerospace |

The Pentagon is set to hold highly classified meetings next week to discuss the growing threat it faces – as Russia and China develop new types of space weapons. The meeting will look into how space-to-ground weapons could impact US military abilities and how to deal with them. This meeting was sparked by geopolitical events and tests conducted by Russia and China in the past year.
Late last year, Russia used an anti-satellite missile to blow up one of its own satellites in an event known as an ASAT test.
This caused thousands of pieces of space debris to fly towards the international space station, forcing astronauts to duck for cover in their spacecraft over fears the space junk would smash into them.
Meanwhile, according to defence officials, Beijing has tested a new combination of a hypersonic glide vehicle and a fractional orbital bombardment system (FOBS).
FOBS is a warhead delivery system that uses a low earth orbit towards its target destination.
According to DefenseNews, it is an unpredictable capability that can stay in orbit for as long as the user determines and then de-orbit as part of its flight path.
The chief of U.S. Strategic Command, Adm. Charles Richard, warned that China successfully tested that capability, which was “never before seen in the world”.
Speaking at the Space and Missile Defense Symposium earlier this month, he warned that the military must now look to overhaul its missile defence systems and develop better versions that can tackle threats aimed at the US.
He said: “I am not convinced at all we’ve fully thought through the implications of what that weapon system means.
“You’re gonna get decreased warning timelines, difficulties in attribution and an increased threat to our traditional space and missile defences and forces.”
According to an agenda for the meeting, scheduled for September 6 and 7, reviewed by DefenseNews, is concerned with “how China and Russia’s potential development of fractional orbital bombardment systems and space-to-ground weapons could impact US deterrence and strategic stability, as well as to consider US response options to the potential development of such capabilities by any adversary”.
This meeting will be attended by senior US Department of Defence leaders, including Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin and Deputy Secretary of Defense Kathleen Hicks.
The meeting will also be attended by the Defense Policy Board, which is an influential advisory group comprised of former national security officials.

Aside from the FOBS, Beijing has also tested a wide range of anti-satellite weapons concepts, including spacecraft which could grapple with other satellites and pull them out of orbit,
According to the US intelligence community’s 2022 Annual Threat Assessment in March, China “is fielding new destructive and nondestructive ground and space-based antisatellite (ASAT) weapons”.
It noted: “Russia continues to train its military space elements and field new antisatellite weapons to disrupt and degrade US and allied space capabilities, and it is developing, testing, and fielding an array of nondestructive and destructive counter-space weapons — including jamming and cyberspace capabilities, directed energy weapons, on-orbit capabilities, and ground-based ASAT capabilities — to target US and allied satellites.”

Not only images, but drones also allow you to capture audio/video as well. They are small and compact and thus, can be carried easily. Drones can withstand harsh weather conditions as well. These little gadgets with wings have taken photography and videography to a whole new level.
The below article will take you through the process of getting a Drone License.
Why are Drones Required?
Drones are useful and entertaining at the same time. They can hold the camera or, any object steadily and can be programmed to fly in areas that were not humanly possible to capture the best views ever. Drone technology has made the life of professional photographers and videographers easier. It has limitless potential and now with the advancement in technology, drones have become affordable and user-friendly as well. Some of the main benefits of using a drone are :
- Inspections can be done more efficiently.
- Acts as a helping hand during deliveries.
- Military Applications.
- For Scientific Research.
- A great help during emergencies.
- For capturing mesmerizing photos and videos.
How to Get a Drone License?
Be it for personal or professional purposes, a drone is something that would only add to your joy. But owning a drone is not as simple as going to market and picking up your favorite. A formal procedure needs to be followed before your drone touches the skies.
Why is the License Important?
Getting a license to operate a drone commercially is an important step to becoming a professional drone pilot and making money with your drone. With a license, you can legally fly your drone for commercial purposes, such as aerial photography, surveying, mapping, and inspection. To obtain a license, you will need to pass a written test and a flight test that demonstrates your ability to fly safely and responsibly.
Once you have your license, you can start offering your services to clients in need of aerial imagery or data. Some ways to make money with your drone after getting your license include offering aerial photography and videography services for weddings, real estate, and other events; conducting aerial surveys and mapping for construction, agriculture, and environmental monitoring; and performing inspections for infrastructure, such as bridges and cell towers.
It’s important to note that flying drones commercially without a license can result in fines and legal trouble, so obtaining a license is a crucial step for anyone looking to make money with their drone in a professional and legal manner.

How to Apply For a Drone License?
For flying a drone into the air, a valid license is a must. You should do the basic to-do’s and don’t. The first step after purchasing a drone is to secure an FAA Tracking Number (FTN). This unique code is linked with your drone post-activation. There are two ways in which you can apply for a drone license.
- For Recreational Purposes – A 15-30 minute long, Free of cost test needs to be given. Visit The Recreational UAS Safety Test (TRUST) for more details. By chance, if your drone weighs more than 250gms then, it needs to be registered with the FAA which costs 5 dollars and has validity for over three years.
- Other than Recreational Purposes – The basic requirements to apply in this category are as follows :
1. Age should be 16 years or above.
2. Be able to read, write, understand, and speak English.
3. Be physically and mentally fit to fly a drone.
4. After clearing the 107 exams, an application needs to be submitted to the FAA.
Part 107 license requires you to fulfill the above requirements along with clearing a Part 107 test that requires a 70% passing score, covering FAA rules and restrictions and knowledge on how to fly a drone. This test is non-refundable and costs around 160 dollars. Visit Small Unmanned Aircraft Systems (sUAS) Rule (Part 107)
Do you want to know how to legally take down a drone? Read this article, where I explain 3 ways to do it.
Step-by-Step Guide to Getting a Drone License
Below mentioned is a step-by-step guide that will prove beneficial in acquiring a drone license conveniently.
Step 1: Create an Account
As mentioned in the article above, for getting your drone pilot’s license, the first thing you’ll need is an FAA Tracking Number (FTN). For the same an Integrated Airman Certification and Rating Application (IACRA) profile need to be created.
Step 2: Enhance your Basic Knowledge
A test mentioned as mentioned in the above section needs to be cleared, which includes questions about drone laws, limitations and flight operation, airspace classifications, flight restrictions, weather, emergency procedures, and more. You can take help from online courses and guides to brush up on your knowledge.
Step 3: Schedule your Exam
You can search for a local test center and schedule your exam on a convenient date. It is a two-hour test that consists of 60 multiple-choice questions. To register for the exam you will need a government-issued photo ID like a driver’s license or a passport. Clearing the exam will generate a 17-digit Knowledge Test Exam ID number.
Step 4: Apply For a License
Visit the IACRA website and complete FAA Form 8710-13 to get your remote pilot certificate. The 17-digit Knowledge Test Exam ID number would be required. Follow the below steps :
- Go To Start New Application.
- Select the Category Pilot.
- Go To Certifications and Select Remote Pilot > Other Path Information.
- Start Application.
- After completing, Click Submit.
Step 5: Wait for the Results
The TSA will do a background check on you. Once you pass this step, you will be notified via email. Voila! You will get your temporary Drone License. A printout of the same can be used.
Step 6: You’re Officially Ready to Take Off
After a week or so, you’ll receive your physical license in the mail. The same is valid for good two years. Post which you will need to clear the exam again.
Every time you fly a drone, keeping the license along with you is a must. For details on how to fly a drone, visit How to Fly a Drone? Full Guide
How to Get Your Drone License?
Finally getting control of your drone in your hands is an amazing experience in itself. The sky is the limit for you, literally. You will be stunned by the amazing views that can be captured with a few clicks. Acquiring the license is a necessity and once you are through with it, be sure to carry it along whenever you step out with your Drone. Enjoy the Flight! 🙂
If you already have a pilot’s license then, You’ll need to take the FAA Part 107 sUAS ALC-451 course, and then fill out the same 8710-13 form on the IACRA website as mentioned above.

The airline however was compelled to reduce the number of passengers from 70 to 50 during the Dar es Salaam-Mbeya to provide space for fuel due to lack of jet fuel at Songwe airport here.
Songwe International Airport has been under construction for over a decade. Precision Air, which used to operate the Mbeya route between 1997 and 2000, has made a comeback to the economic hub of the southern highlands regions. The historical inauguration, graced by Director of Transport Services in the Ministry of Transport Peter Lupatu and also attended by Mbeya government representatives, corporate heads and aviation stakeholders, took place at Songwe airport, with Mbeya residents expressing joy over the inaugural flight.
The airline used its 70-seater ATR-72 aircraft to flag off its services in the new route, with an introductory flight schedule showing that it will fly to Mbeya four times a week--Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Sunday--at an introductory fare of 249,000/- for a return ticket and 165,000/- for one way ticket.
"I call upon Mbeya residents to fully use this opportunity provided by Precision Air that has launched commercial flights to the region," said Mr Lupatu. Precision Air Board Chairman Michael Shirima asked the government to look for an investor to supply jet fuel at Songwe Airport to help the airlines flying to the airport reduce operational costs.
"My plea to the government is to ensure that aviation fuel is available here...this will greatly help to cut down operational costs incurred by airlines using the route. At the moment, we are forced to carry reserve fuel which increases load to the aircraft, forcing us to carry few passengers to leave room for the reserve fuel," said Mr Shirima.
The Precision Air founder asked the government to hasten installation of navigation aid at the airport because of its location and for the safety of the aircrafts and their passengers. He assured Mbeya residents that the airline will in future increase its flight frequencies to Songwe subject to an increase of passengers.
Acting Mbeya Regional Commissioner Norman Sigala on his welcoming remarks said he was happy with Precision Air's decision to fly to Mbeya because it will reduce transport challenges that Mbeya residents face. "The inauguration we are witnessing today is a blessing to Mbeya region and their neighbour...Precision Air has flagged commercial flights to this region; you will see many other airlines coming soon," he said.
Songwe becomes the 18th destination for Precision Air, which has grown from a very humble background of starting as a crop spraying company with a single aircraft in 1987 to the lone Tanzanian airline flying regionally. | aerospace |

These inspiring heroines were the first women to fly military aircraft and blazed a trail in the sky that opened the door for today’s women military pilots. In a moving ceremony, the 300 surviving members of the WASP received the highest civilian honor Congress can give – the Congressional Gold Medal – in front of the largest crowd to ever attend an event inside the Capitol”, Senator Kay Bailey Hutchinson, from Wings and Wasps, March 22, 2010
WASP stands for Women Air Force Service Pilots, the first women in U.S. history to fly American military aircraft.
During World War II, these intrepid “Fly Girls” voluntarily put their lives on the line in an experimental program to prove that women could successfully fly military aircraft. They received no rank or military honors for their service. WASP flew 60 million miles. They flew every type of military aircraft—from the fastest fighters to the heaviest bombers—and they piloted every type of mission flown by their male Army Air Force counterparts, except combat. That was their mission: to relieve male pilots for combat duty from non-combat, yet essential missions.
My mother's name was Marjorie Redding Christiansen.
Jacqueline Cochran, who set up the WASP program for General Hap Arnold, was going to the larger cities getting names of women who wished to enroll in the WASP. It was required that these women already have a pilot's license. Mom had learned to fly in college and belonged to the Civil Air Patrol.
Being from small towns, Mom and her friend decided to go to Texas, and get to see Jackie. They enlisted and were assigned to class 44-3. When she graduated she was going to Dodge City, Kansas to train on B-26's, but orders were changed. She was sent to Independence Army Air Force Basic Training School for Air Force Cadets. She flew the North American BT-14s that were repaired, and flew non-flying officers on administrative duty. She flew cross country many times. She flew all of the military aircraft that were in use at that time except she never did get to fly the B-26, which she felt a little bad about. She wanted to fly them all!
WASP were stationed at 120 Army air bases across America. They flew B-26s and B-29s—to prove to male pilots that those planes were actually safe to fly. Numbering only about 1,000, this group of extraordinary women will forever continue to serve in a way none can deny them: WASP were the role models for every generation of female pilots and astronauts that takes off after them.
They forever changed the role of women in aviation.
The two photos are my brother, Frank Christiansen, me and my sister, Teena Taylor. The three of us (out of 6) were able to go back for the ceremony. It was a wonderful experience. We wish Mom could have been there in person!
I am sure she was in spirit, she let us know that she was close!
There were a lot of descriptive things said about them...
"Trailblazers", "they had unprecedented Matzee!" "Humble and selfless", "lived life on the cutting edge of aviation", "they were gutsy and daring", "pioneers of the sky", Nancy Pelosi said, "Once the WASP took to the sky the world was never the same"...They were called "mighty of spirit", "a rare group in rare times”, “feisty old broads"....
I don't know that my mom could ever be called a "feisty old broad" but they are all very much alike.... honorable, dependable, daring, willing to do everything asked of them. They were (and are) very patriotic. They wanted to help their country and the war effort.
They have an air about them when you are among them. They are tough but tender, quiet but exuding pride, strong little ladies with silver hair. Many of them were wearing their original WASP uniforms. Their strength and their gratitude were in the air in the Emancipation Hall. They quietly, modestly accepted the medal and were somewhat overwhelmed with all the publicity.
When Deanie Parrish, the WASP who accepted the medal, spoke she said, "We did it because they needed us! It was a privilege and an honor to serve our country. We didn't do it for recognition." But, you could tell they were all VERY PROUD!
"When it was disbanded, they turned in their parachutes, packed their bags and paid their own way home."
I have always been very proud of my mom but I thought my chest was going to explode in that ceremony. She was one of a group of very beautiful and strong women! I hope I have learned a small inkling of what she had to teach!
Cindy and her husband Orville live in Goshen. They have three children, Jennifer Nielson, Chelsea Lee and Don Gerow. and eight grandchildren.

Since June, 47 interns worked alongside scientists at the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) to explore science, technology, engineering and math on a different level. Some focused on robotics, others on radar, and a few on a new alloy under development to replace Eglin steel.
“I got to do a lot more than I thought I would be able to with government red tape and stuff,” said Austin Keller, who is about to start his senior year at Lehigh University in Pennsylvania.
He was paired up with Rachel Abrahams, who recently received the Air Force’s Early Career Award for creating a new munitions material at the fraction of the cost.
Keller applied for the summer internship program after meeting Abrahams at another event. When he returns to school next week, he’ll continue working with her through one of his professors at the university.

(AP) — Lockheed Martin Corp. said Tuesday that it received a $100.5 million contract from the U.S. Air Force for production of a new laser guided bomb guidance system, the paveway II Plus Laser Guided Bomb GBU-12.
The award is most of an initial $134 million contract for the bomb system procurement. It's part of an overall $475 million 5-year multiple-award contract announced by the U.S. Air Force on Aug. 1.
Deliveries on the contract will begin in 2012.
The GBU-12 new guidance equipment consists of integrated computer controls and an air foil system, which provides lift and stability to the weapons.
Lockheed Martin said the new equipment improves weapon accuracy and reduce risk to U.S. and allied ground forces when compared to older paveway II weapons.
Lockheed Martin is currently producing the new systems for the Air Force and the Navy as part of a $34 million U.S. Air Force contract awarded in 2010.
Lockheed Martin shares fell 15 cents to close at $71.22. They've traded between $66.36 and $82.43 in the past 52 weeks. | aerospace |

Why the NASA’s Cassini Spacecraft is going to start final approach to the Saturn
Cassini said that the wet and foreign worlds are going to harbour the life of the moon Enceladus and Titan. It launched the moonlets, and they got embedded in the rings. This spacecraft also delivered the front-row seats for us to observe the changing seasons and a large storm which encircled the planet.
Linda Spilker is the project scientist, and she said that they enjoyed the 13-year journey around the Saturn. They gathered more data like a large fire hose, and they taught these data would flood them. All of them took the magnifying glass look on the planets and the rings.
Many scientists expected that it would send the data back regarding the Saturn’s atmosphere until its end. It contains the delicate thruster, and it did not match with the thickening atmosphere. Finally, it lost its control, and while doing the rapid plunge, it burned up. Like a meteor in Saturn’s sky, it burned up completely.
Here is the complete information regarding the Cassini and why it is approaching an end:
$3.9 billion Saturn spacecraft
Cassini is an international project, and it costs nearly $3.9 billion. It contains the scientists from 29 nations. NASA rocketed it from the Cape Canaveral which is the Florida on October 15th, 1997. It even carried the European Huygens lander.
Finally, this spacecraft reached the Saturn in 2004. After the completion of six months, Huygens got separated from the Cassini. It successfully landed on the giant moon Titan. Cassini stayed in orbit, and it circulated the Saturn, and it is the only spacecraft which successfully circled the planet. During April, NASA added Cassini to the ever-descending series. Later they noticed that it is colliding with the moon and it may harbour life. Finally, this situation may contaminate it and may cause a threat to it.
Cassini is going to end as its rocket fuel is running out. It came to an end after the completion of 4.9 billion miles of the journey which equals to 7.9 billion kilometres.
Shortly, this Cassini spacecraft may enter the death plunge by entering the ringed gas giant. Saturn is the furthest planet which is visible to us from Earth with the naked eye. Scientists said that the death plunge would occur when the spacecraft make the final contact with the Earth.
However, Cassini’s demise will not cause any damage to the Saturn planet which features the moons Titan and Enceladus. For future explorations, the scientists are trying to keep it flawless as it contains some conditions which are favourable for the life.
Stanley Cowley is the professor of the solar planetary physics in the Leicester University. He said that he is feeling unfortunate as the Cassini is going to end on September 15th, 2017. Stanley added that their built device is still working correctly.
To feed the science instruments, Cassini used the plutonium for providing the electrical power as the mission ran away from the sun. It features the main fuel tank, and the NASA kept this spacecraft on the no-turning-back Grand Finale.
However, this mission recorded the great success. NASA’s Cassini spacecraft includes the ring debris and the flight controllers. These controllers send the spacecraft to stay in between the rings and Saturn’s cloud tops. At last, Cassini successfully took the close-up looks related to the Saturn for 22 times.
NASA’s Cassini spacecraft noticed that there are moonlet swarms in the Saturn’s rings. However, it gave the short list relating to the Peggy which may aid researchers to make the final picture-making. They want to have one more look to find whether it features the broken free of its ring.
The data which the spacecraft has sent to the scientists represented the presence of the Saturn’s rings. They contain the icy bits, and their size varies from dust to mountains.
It also showed the multiple collisions. Some massive rings suggest that they started their life at the time of the Saturn origination. Their age may be more than 4 billion years ago.
Saturn features nearly 62 moons. In that, NASA’s Cassini spacecraft discovered six. In 1655, scientists found the first one which is the biggest and named it as the Titan. During that time only, they found the Mercury also. It contains the liquid methane which may support to have some new and exotic form of life.
Scientists are very excited to land on the Enceladus or Titan. After landing, they searched to find whether there is the life on them. It is the information that the scientists have given. Let’s wait to get more details. | aerospace |

These are ones that I have built and flown successfully. All are powered by twisted strips of rubber. You can see discussion of these planes elsewhere on this site.
The AMA Cub is a simple, easy plane to build, tolerant of unskillful building and flys remarkably well. It was designed by Frank Ehling. It has a wingspan of 12″ and flys on a 5 1/2″ plastic propeller. It may be flown inside a gymnasium or on large fields outdoors in calm weather. Kids love it.
It is quite a thrill for adults, too, to see something they made, flying gracefully through the air. Flights of more than a minute indoors are possible. They have been known to fly away outdoors.
Bill Kuhl has a great web site dedicated to the AMA Cub here: Kuhl Darts
Kits may be ordered from the Academy of Model Aeronautics here: AMA Store
The Cloud Tramp is a relatively simple plane made with sheet balsa for the flying surfaces. It requires a higher level of skill than the others listed here. It was designed by Charles Hampson Grant and published in 1954. It has a wingspan of 21″ and flys behind an 8″ plastic or balsa propeller. You can make one half size with a 4″ propeller.
The 2010 Cloud Tramp postal contest ended October 31. See the details here, including links to plans, kits and instructions for building one: Cloud Tramp
In my search for an outdoor flying field, I took my Cloud Tramp along for some trial flights. I had one flight of 3:45. Others have had flights of over 10 minutes.
Here it is on a short test hop.
I have also been having fun with a DennyDart II designed by Neil Dennis. I traded two of my Squirrel kits to Ding for two DennyDart kits. You can have fun and learn much from these simple planes without losing much if they crash or fly away.
You can see the AMA Cub heritage in the triangular surfaces and stick fuselage. I added wheels for some ground takeoffs. It has a wingspan of 13 3/4″. The 6″ MPC propeller and wheels came from a Dandiflyer. Note that it has a small paper rudder tab. I have had flights of almost two minutes outdoors. To fly in small local parks, I must limit the length of the motor and number of turns put into the motor to keep it from flying away.
If you would like to build one, plans and instructions may be found elsewhere on this site.
Test pilots, keep the parts from your wrecked planes and use them again in another project.
Hope we can fly together some day, | aerospace |

There is huge potential and there will be big opportunities in the field of space cooperation between China and South Africa as the two nations have recently decided to enhance their collaboration in this regard, observers said.
Wang Yanan, chief editor of Aerospace Knowledge magazine, said that China wants to maintain and deepen its communications, exchanges and cooperation with other countries in space programs, while South Africa seems interested in space exploration and related expertise, which means the two sides can find common interests in joining hands in outer space.
"As one of the space powers in the world, China now has advanced technologies and spacecraft, well-made plans, rich experience and talented professionals. And, it is willing to share its expertise with friendly countries," he said, emphasizing that South Africa has always had good relations with China.
South Africa has a solid industrial foundation and good capabilities in scientific and technological fields, which means it can also contribute to joint space programs, Wang added.
Yang Yuguang, a senior space industry observer and vice-chair of the International Astronautical Federation's Space Transportation Committee, said that South Africa has been enthusiastic about advancing its space capability for a long time, and had once planned to develop its own carrier rockets and satellites.
The nation is a leader in Africa in terms of the space industry and the science and technology sector, and its location — at the southernmost tip of the continent — is an advantage, Yang said.
"One important area where the two sides can cooperate is ground tracking and control work. South Africa has been in cooperation with several spacefaring countries because its geographic location permits unique advantages in ground-based telemetry for and a control of spacecraft. Lunar missions require sophisticated telemetry and control network, so the participation of the African nation will be very helpful," the observer said.
Moreover, international cooperation has become an indispensable part of China's lunar endeavor, and previous Chinese lunar probes have carried foreign science payloads, Yang said. "South Africa wishes to further expand its space capability. Therefore, it is natural for the two nations to open cooperation in this field."
Earlier this month, South Africa officially joined the International Lunar Research Station Program, an ambitious venture led by China.
On Sept 1, Chinese Ambassador to South Africa Chen Xiaodong signed a memorandum of understanding on behalf of the China National Space Administration with Humbulani Mudau, CEO of the South African National Space Agency, marking South Africa's entry into the program.
According to the agreement, both parties will engage in extensive cooperation in areas including the planning, construction, operation and application of the lunar outpost, as well as related education and training projects.
Moreover, within the framework of the BRICS Remote Sensing Satellite Constellation, the Chinese and South African space agencies will collaborate on remote sensing data exchange and application, and on satellite ground stations.
South Africa's participation in the program indicates that China-South Africa space cooperation has extended from near-Earth operations to lunar and deep-space explorations, which will help promote advancements in space technology in China and South Africa, the China National Space Administration said.
According to Chinese scientists, the first version of the International Lunar Research Station will comprise components of China's Chang'e 7 and Chang'e 8 robotic missions — orbiters, landers, rovers and a flyby craft, as well as a relay satellite.
Both the Chang'e 7 and Chang'e 8 probes are designed to land on the moon's south pole. Chang'e 7 is scheduled to set out around 2026, while Chang'e 8 will join it around 2028.
In the long run, other spacecraft will be deployed on the south pole, to bring more infrastructure to the science outpost. The station will use robots most of the time, but will also be capable of accommodating astronauts for short stays.
The lunar station will act as an international platform for moon-based scientific experiments and mineral research, mission planners said. | aerospace |

‘Air Bubbles or travel bridges’ is an arrangement that does away with that waiting period for a select group of travellers from certain countries where the coronavirus has been contained. In a travel bubble a set of countries agree to open their borders to each other, but keep borders to all others countries closed, so that people can move freely within the bubble, but cannot enter from the outside.
“We are in talks with some of the select countries including UAE to enter into an agreement to resume international flight operations in a limited way. Details such as how many flights are to be allowed and between which Indian and UAE cities initially are being discussed before finalising the agreement,” the aviation ministry official, who did not wish to be identified, told Arabian Business.
“Air bubbles between countries is going to be the arrangement as far as international connectivity is concerned till the virus situation is under control and countries open up,” Economic Times quoted India’s civil aviation minister Hardeep Singh Puri, as saying.
Arabian Business has contacted the official spokesperson of Indian civil aviation ministry for comments on the proposed air bubble pact with UAE.
India recently extended cancellation of international flight operations until July 31. | aerospace |

Australian aviator, Bert Hinkler (1892-1933) is most well known for making the first solo flight from Britain to Australia in 1928. He made this flight in a single-engine Avro Avian aircraft and during the trip broke five aviation records. However, this model of Hinkler's earlier aircraft, an Avro Baby, commemorates Hinkler's earlier and less remembered record-breaking achievements. It was the Avro Baby which brought light aviation before the public and helped lay the foundations for the flying club movement in Britain in the mid 1920s.
Herbert John Louis 'Bert' Hinkler, the eldest son of a mill worker, was born in Bundaberg, Queensland on 8 December 1892. As a boy of eleven he was fascinated with flight and studied the ibis at a local lagoon. In 1911 and 1912, while still living at home he constructed two gliders and successfully flew them on nearby Mons Repos beach. Educated locally, Hinkler worked as a mechanic for the American aviator A.B. 'Wizard' Stone in New Zealand. In late 1913 at the age of 21, Hinkler travelled to England to work for the Sopwith Aviation Company in London as a mechanic. During World War I he trained as a gunner with the Royal Naval Air Service and earnt the Distinguished Service Medal. By the end of the war was flying Sopwith Camels with 28 Squadron.
In 1919 Hinkler worked at the experimental aircraft works of A.V. Roe & Co. in Southampton, England as a mechanic. That year Avro began developing a light aircraft for civilian us and the Avro Baby was the result. It was considered a practical touring aircraft and won the Aerial Derby Handicap Races for 1919 and 1920. Hinkler had hoped to own one of the first machines from the production line but delays occurred and he became impatient to be the first to fly solo to Australia. Finally he could wait no longer and in April 1920 purchased the original experimental Avro Baby, registered as G-EACQ, which had already seen considerable service. Hinkler later said it was a 'pretty battered Baby" and 'dissipated beyond its years'.
On 31 May 1920 Hinkler quietly left Croydon airport outside London to fly to Australia. Unfortunately he could go no further than Turin in Italy because of war in Egypt and Syria and was forced to abandon his trip. This 650 mile (1046 km) flight of 9 and a half hours set a duration flight record for non-stop flying, earning Hinkler the Britannia Trophy from the Royal Aero Club for the 'most meritorious performance in the history of aviation'.
After shipping the Avro Baby to Australia in March 1921, Hinkler achieved another long distance record by flying from Sydney to his home in Bundaberg. Queensland on 11 April 1921. On the way back to Sydney on 27 April Hinkler's aircraft was forced down and damaged at Anna Bay, NSW, towed to Newcastle and quietly shipped back to Sydney where it was sold.
Hinkler returned to England and become Avro's test pilot from 1921 to 1926. He accumulated numerous awards and trophies both in air races and in official recognition of his achievements. In 1927 he tested autogiros for Don Juan La Cierva then the following year became the first to fly solo from England to Australia. This flight of 11,000 miles (17,702 km) was undertaken in an Avro Avian taking 15 and a half days. During the years 1929 to 1930 Hinkler put all his money into designing and building an amphibious monoplane which he called the Ibis but was unable to find financial backing for its production.
Hinkler went on to make the first solo flight cross of the South Atlantic in 1931 from New York to London via Jamaica, South America, West Africa and Western Europe in a Puss Moth. This was the first west to east crossing of the South Atlantic and the longest non-stop journey in a light aircraft. On 7 January 1933 he took off from London for Australia in a Puss Moth to beat the record set by the English flyer C.W.A. Scott which reduced Hinkler's own 1928 record to 8 days and 20 hours. Tragically he was lost for several weeks until Friday 28 April when his body was found by Italian charcoal burners 80 m from the wreckage of his plane high in the Italian Apennines on the slopes of the Prato Magno near the Passo Delle Vacche in the province of Arezzo. The Italian government gave Hinkler a full military funeral procession through the streets of Florence in recognition of his services to aviation. He was buried in the protestant section of Florence cemetery, Porta Roman, on 1 May 1933.
Margaret Simpson, 2002
The full size Avro Baby aircraft was designed for the aircraft manufacturer, A.V. Roe by Roy Chadwick who had been with the firm from 1911 as their leading aeroplane designer, and continued as such until his death in a flying accident in 1947. Chadwick influenced the design of a series of successful Avro aeroplanes from the 504K 'flying trainer' of the 1914-18 war through a number of peacetime Avros to the World War II Anson for Coastal Command, the Lancaster bomber, the Lincoln and finally the turbo-jet delta wing bomber produced after his death as the Avro Vulcan.
After the First World War A.V. Roe and Chadwick were eager to produce light aircraft for those who wanted to fly for the sheer enjoyment. The Avro Baby was built at A.V. Roe's Hamble airfield in 1919 as an experimental aircraft K131. At the time there were no light motorcar or cycle engines suitable for such an aeroplane, so Fred May of the Green Engine Company, came up with a 1910, 35 hp Green Engine which was completely modernised by the company and used in the first aircraft. Modifications included the addition of aluminium pistons, an oil pressure regulator, and a redesigned camshaft and valve gear. As a result the Avro Baby was designed and built around the overhauled engine while the diminutive nose radiator was manufactured by the Excelsior Radiator Company of Leeds. The Avro Baby eventually turned out a success and a small production line of seven were built at the Hamble aerodrome. Although first announced in March 1929 as the Avro Popular, it soon acquired the permanent type name Baby.
This model of the Avro Baby was made by the Museum's model maker, Iain Scott-Stevenson for Museum's model aircraft collection in 2001. It took about two working weeks to complete and is made of cotton thread, plywood, piano wire and Jelutong, pattern maker's timber from Malaysia, which is soft and easy work. The model is finished in white automotive spray paint while the registration lettering on the wing is computer-cut vinyl. It is represented in the appearance of the full size Avro Baby after restoration by the Queensland Aero Club in 1972 for the Queensland Museum, Brisbane.
The first unregistered Avro Baby was flown at A.V. Roe's Hamble works on 30 April 1919 by their test pilot H.A. Hamersely. Temporarily marked K131, the plane went on to win 100 pounds and a trophy in the Aerial Derby at Hendon on 21 June 1919 followed by the Victory Trophy Race on 19 July. After this it returned to Hamble and was given a camouflage livery, registered as G-EACQ and the sloping decking added. More displays followed throughout 1919 then, in January 1920, the aircraft struck severe turbulence while piloted by the designer, Roy Chadwick who frequently took the 'works' Baby 'cross country'. The aircraft was a complete wreck and was rebuilt incorporating only the engine and primary structure with modifications including a tapered aileron, a taller oval rudder the pitot head repositioned on the top wing.
In April 1920 Bert Hinkler, then Avro's mechanic, purchased the Avro Baby and increased the fuel tank to 25 gallons in preparation for his flight home from London to Bundaberg in Queensland. He left London quietly on 31 May and flew a sensational 650-mile (1046 km) non-stop flight over the Alps to Turin, Italy in 9 and a half hours. Political unrest in Syria forced him to abandon his attempt to fly on to Australia. The Avro Baby was displayed at the 1920 Olympia Aero Show in London and flown to second place in the Hendon Aerial Derby. Hinkler decided to take his aircraft to Australia and personally modified the engine to facilitate single-handed routine maintenance in the outback before crating it for shipment aboard the SS 'Ascanius'. It arrived in Sydney on 18 March 1921 in time to be exhibited at the Royal Easter Show. Then, on 11 April Hinkler made his now historic 800-mile (1287 km) non-stop flight, another world record, to Bundaberg, where he taxied up to his parents' home in Gavan Street. He left there on 23 April to return to Sydney in easy stages but on 27th, seven hours out of Brisbane, encountered tropical rain and turbulence which forced him down onto the beach at Anna Bay, NSW. A wind gust upturned and damaged the aircraft and Hinkler borrowed a team of five draft horses from a local farmer, towed the Baby 15 miles (24 km) to Stockton, near Newcastle and there shipped it to Sydney.
The full size Avro Baby, owned by Hinkler, had a number of subsequent owners. After Hinkler was forced down at Anna Bay on his way back from Bundaberg to Sydney in April 1921, the Avro Baby was damaged then sent to Sydney where it was sold to H.E. Broadsmith of the Australian Aircraft and Engineering Co. Ltd. After repairs, Broadsmith built a float undercarriage and made several flights for a film company on Botany Bay as G-AUCQ in 1922. At an auction of AAEC's assets in December 1923 the aircraft was sold to pioneer pilot W.E. Hart for whom it was overhauled by C.W. Paul at the City Motor Garage, Pitt Street, Sydney. The next owner was Frederick Fitzallen of Fitzallen Motors, Albury. The Avro Baby was stored at Mascot Aerodrome until taken by rail to Belmont Common Aerodrome, Geelong, Victoria in October 1926 to be overhauled and rebagged by the Pratt brothers of the Aircraft Manufacturing and Supply Co. Ltd. In November the aircraft was sold again to F. Ward then J.J. Smith at Essendon, who requested permission from the Civil Aviation Board to have a two-seat conversion undertaken on the aircraft. This was refused but work had started on the second cockpit when in December 1930, the Baby was severely damaged in its hanger and did not fly again until 1936. By this time it had become VH-UCQ. Thirty-three years later the aircraft was re-discovered in a Melbourne garden in 1970. It was airfreighted from Essendon to Brisbane, briefly exhibited at the Queensland Museum in Brisbane, then restored in an all-white colour scheme as G-EACQ by the Royal Queensland Aero Club and reconverted back to a single seat before being handed back to the Queensland Museum in November 1972. | aerospace |

Featured image obtained from Skydio.com
The foldable autonomous drone — Skydio’s follow up to the popular prosumer Skydio 2 UAS — comes equipped with 360-degree obstacle avoidance, a 4K60 HDR color + FLIR 320p thermal camera, and an all-new enterprise controller with a built-in 6.8″ ultra-bright AMOLED screen.
Additionally, the company released Skydio Cloud, which initially allows for fleet management and media sync, and will soon offer streaming services for browser and mobile devices, along with remote operations.
Skydio’s latest release marks a big turning point in the world of drones, especially in the United States. Here, we break down the X2, who it’s for, and what it brings to the drone industry.
The Skydio X2: Different Drones for Different Situations
First, it’s important to note that there are two versions of the Skydio X2: the X2E, designed for situational awareness and infrastructure inspection, and the X2D, which was created for reconnaissance and security.
With autonomy software and a dual sensor payload that includes a 12 MP color camera and FLIR 320×256 thermal sensor, the Skydio X2E lowers the drone market barrier-to-entry for both first responders and civil agencies.
These ultra-secure drones were designed to inspect large-scale infrastructures, such as bridges and high-rise buildings, safely and efficiently. Additionally, with software add-ons such as Skydio Autonomy Enterprise Foundation and Skydio 3D Scan, users can utilize 360 superzoom and inspect complex structures, such as energy infrastructures and crash/crime scenes.
With X2E, pilots can ably fly near and around obstacles in GPS-denied environments, watch crowded scenes from the sky with minimal social disruption, fly at ground level and indoors, and automate capture in close proximity to increase speed and data quality.
In other words, it allows for users to have sight of dangerous situations without putting themselves, or anyone else for that matter, in harm’s way. Skydio’s developers undoubtedly built these drones with public safety and ease-of-use in mind.
A drone designed for military use, the X2D, billed as an organic, unit-level sUAS solution, is a force multiplier for the small unit warfighter.
The X2D was designed to provide soldiers with an aerial intelligence platform capable of conducting reconnaissance, assisting in security patrols, and serving in incident response missions. The drone is also compliant with the terms of the National Defense Authorization Act.
The X2D has several features making this drone an excellent tool for service members of militaries worldwide. Small unit teams require their gear to be rugged and portable.
Made of a magnesium and carbon fiber composite, the X2D is a strong and solidly built UAV. The foldable airframe fits into backpacks and rucksacks easily, but can still be fully deployed in under 75 seconds.
Equipped with a dual 4K60 HDR camera (16X digital zoom) and FLIR Boson 320X256 thermal camera (8X digital zoom), the X2D can operate in day or night conditions. The drone features a strobe that can be set to visible or IR for signaling and tracking purposes. Sensors around the X2D even allow the drone to use a vision-based navigation system for operations where GPS is restricted or denied.
The brains of the UAV are as impressive as the hull and payload. Industry-leading artificial intelligence allows the X2D to track subjects and vehicles. Capable of 360° obstacle avoidance, the drone can navigate safely through tight spaces, a real benefit when combined with its waypoint mission path planning software.
Intelligent features, such as point of interest orbit, allow soldiers to conduct autonomous overwatch. Added tools for enhanced situational awareness include a 360 superzoom and a 3D scanning feature for autonomous scene reconstruction. As a whole, the platform gives the warfighter a new set of tools without distracting them from the mission at hand.
The Rise of Skydio
The Redwood City, Ca.-based drone manufacturer began in 2014, when Adam Bry, Abe Bachrach, and Matt Donohoe, came together to create a system for self-navigating drones (read more about that here).
Starting with the Skydio R1 in 2018, then the Skydio 2 in 2019, Skydio showcased its expertise in AI and autonomous flight capabilities. Now, the company’s technology is so well respected that the FAA granted the North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) statewide approval to fly Skydio drones during bridge inspections beyond visual line of sight in October 2020.
But, what really set the stage for Skydio, especially in the United States, was the General Service Administration’s Blue sUAS program, which eliminated foreign drone availability in federal agencies.
Over the last five years, the consumer and prosumer drone market has been dominated by DJI.
While there were many other manufactures in the space, it seemed like the commanding share of the market in DJI’s grip would never be relinquished by the Shenzhen-based juggernaut. Towards the end of 2017, that began to change.
In a United States Navy memorandum titled, “Operational Risks With Regards to DJI Family of Products,” concerns were raised over potential intelligence risks from the widespread use of off-the-shelf camera drones.
Essentially, the naval intelligence community believed the drones were too easy to hack and thus provided a method for adversaries to spy on military operations. The Pentagon soon banned the use of all DJI drones.
This action opened the door for other manufacturers to fill the void left by a fleet of DJI drones that were now off limits to government agencies.
To encourage manufacturers to provide small drones for military use, the United States DoD Defense Innovation Unit (DIU) started the Blue sUAS program in 2018. The DIU initially selected five companies to provide small UAVs for military and government entities.
The move fueled a renewed strength in the United States domestic drone manufacturing market. As a result, Skydio’s innovation and proximity put the company in a great position to thrive.
To put this in perspective, the company’s seed funding in 2015 totaled $3 million. As of March 2021, just prior to the X2’s release, Skydio was valued at $1 billion. With its implementation of the X2D for military us, that number stands to increase even more in the coming months.
Bringing It All Together
As it stands, Skydio currently serves 11% of all public safety drone fleets.
And, the stage is set for the company to go toe-to-toe with DJI in the industrial-application space. The future looks bright for the drone industry as whole, as more and more drone manufacturers will bring new innovation to the market in order to compete with one another’s ground-breaking technology. We look forward to it, and we hope you do, too!

He was 90. Collins died of cancer, and his family said in a statement: “Mike always faced the challenges of life with grace and humility, and faced this, his final challenge, in the same way.
Collins was part of the three-person Apollo 11 crew that in 1969 effectively ended the space race between the United States and Russia and fulfilled President John F. Kennedy’s challenge to reach the moon by the end of the 1960s.
Though he traveled some 238,000 miles to the moon and came within 69 miles, Collins never set foot on the lunar surface like his crewmates Aldrin and Armstrong, who died in 2012. None of the men flew in space after the Apollo 11 mission.
“It’s human nature to stretch, to go, to see, to understand,” Collins said on the 10th anniversary of the moon landing in 1979. “Exploration is not a choice really — it’s an imperative, and it’s simply a matter of timing as to when the option is exercised. Whether his work was behind the scenes or on full view, his legacy will always be as one of the leaders who took America’s first steps into the cosmos,” acting NASA administrator Steve Jurczyk said in a statement Wednesday.
Collins spent the eight-day mission piloting the command module. While Armstrong and Aldrin descended to the moon’s surface in the lunar lander, Eagle, Collins remained alone in the command module, Columbia. “I guess you’re about the only person around that doesn’t have TV coverage of the scene,” Mission Control radioed Collins after the landing. | aerospace |

Its estimated total cost of $95 billion is almost 10 times what it would take to build the Panama Canal today, yet its end is nowhere in sight. The ISS was scheduled to be completed by 2000, but its projected completion has slipped to 2006 and may slip further. NASA friends and foes alike are asking: What will it take to finish the project?
The scientists who can make the best use of the ISS are biologists like myself—a space biologist with experiments to fly on the completed ISS—who are interested in the long-term effects of microgravity on living organisms. For us the ISS as originally planned was going to be—and could still be—a stellar laboratory for studying the growth and development of organisms in space through several generations.

This is proof-of-principle of an attractive idea that is not without risks, challenges, and enormous potential costs.
This concept of space-based solar power has been around for decades. It holds promise as a technology that could capture huge amounts of free energy from the sun and convert it into clean electrical energy. In space, sunlight is more intense because it doesn’t pass through the atmosphere, and a satellite in the proper orbit could remain in sunlight almost 24/7 collecting energy. That power could be converted into an intense microwave energy beam aimed at receivers on the ground which would convert it into clean electricity.
The X37-B space plane has flown in space five times before, and is capable of staying in orbit for more than a year. But the military has been tight-lipped on what exactly it has been doing up there during most of these highly classified missions. This flight, which launched May 17, carries rare scientific payloads they are willing to talk about.
The solar power experiment is called the Photovoltaic Radiofrequency Antenna Module Flight Experiment (PRAM-FX). Designed by researchers at the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory, the proof-of-concept device is only about the size and shape of a pizza box. One side is covered with solar cells that turn sunlight into electricity, which is then converted to microwaves.
While this experiment is to test the efficiency of the system in space, it will not be sending a microwave beam to the Earth. However, the military is interested in developing future technologies that would allow them to beam energy from space to provide power for troops in the field, drive vehicles and even unmanned aircraft without carrying fossil fuels.
The idea of sending power without wires goes back to 1890 when Nicola Tesla experimented with devices to transmit energy using electromagnetic waves. While Tesla was not able to fulfil his dream of powering the world, today we do have things like wireless charging for devices that are close to each other.
While it sounds like science fiction, beaming energy from space is technically feasible, but likely at least decades away from reality due to many challenges — first among them: scale.
Solar power satellites would have to be very large in order to capture enough solar energy, and also have very large antennas to transmit the beam to Earth. These monstrosities would be much larger than the International Space Station, which itself is larger than a football field. The ISS cost upwards of $100 billion to build, so that gives you some idea of what an even larger — though possibly simpler — solar power satellite might cost.
On Earth, a very large receiver called a rectenna would be needed to capture the beam and turn it into electricity. Then there is the issue of having powerful microwave beams shining down on the Earth, potentially creating a hazard to everything from aircraft to migrating birds. An alternative might be to use lasers, but they come with their own hazards. Obviously, the areas above the ground stations would have to be no-fly zones.
Despite the enormous challenges, scientists say just one of these satellites could meet the energy needs of a major city such as Toronto or Vancouver and surrounding areas. This grandiose concept of providing reliable clean energy from space has been quietly in the back rooms of the space program for decades.
As companies such as SpaceX bring the cost of space flight down, and the negative impacts of burning fossil fuels becomes more apparent, perhaps the pizza box experiment flying in space now will grow into a vision of plentiful, clean power in the distant future.

February 17, 2021
This week, NASA’s Perseverance Rover lands on Mars to continue the search for life on the Red Planet. At the same time, WHOI scientists and engineers are applying their experience exploring the deepest parts of planet Earth to the quest for life beyond Mars.
Chris German is a senior scientist at WHOI with a long career built around understanding the ways life has adapted to extreme conditions on the seafloor, particularly around hydrothermal vents. Molly Curran is a young engineer who is building robots capable of reaching the deepest parts of Earth’s ocean. The two were featured in a recent episode of the news program Full Measure. In it, they describe how their work is advancing understanding of life on this planet in the hopes that we will soon learn how and where it might exist in the oceans recently discovered beneath the icy shells of planetary bodies of the outer solar system.
“The best chance we have in the next human generation to find life beyond Earth, is by exploring remote and poorly explored deep oceans,” says German. | aerospace |

"You'll be able to land anywhere on Earth with the accuracy of a helicopter, which is, I think, something a modern spaceship should be able to do, " Musk told a throng of reporters and invited guests.
"It will be capable of carrying seven people, seven astronauts, for several days. It has an improved version of our heat shield and it's all around, I think, really a big leap forward in technology. It really takes things to the next level."
The SpaceX Dragon version 2, or V2, spacecraft is Musk's entry in an ongoing NASA competition to develop a commercial crew capsule to carry U.S. and partner astronauts to and from the space station, ending reliance on Russian Soyuz spacecraft which cost the American space agency more than $70 million per seat under the latest contract.The SpaceX unveiling came the day after a Soyuz launch that delivered three fresh crew members to the station, including a NASA flight engineer. The mission came amid the most tense standoff between Washington and Moscow in decades, over Russia's actions in Ukraine, subsequent U.S. sanctions and Russian threats to pull out of the station program in 2020 and to stop supplying rocket engines used to help launch American military satellites.
Musk did not mention the Soyuz launch, but the SpaceX unveiling Thursday called renewed attention to NASA's current dependence on Russia for basic space transportation, a situation Musk wants to change with the Dragon V2.
But he's not alone. Musk is competing with aerospace giant Boeing, which is developing its own state-of-the-art capsule known as the CST-100, and Sierra Nevada, which is testing a winged lifting body known as the Dream Chaser that would glide to a runway landing much like NASA's retired space shuttle.
Depending on available funding from Congress, NASA is expected to award one and possibly two contracts late this summer to continue spacecraft development, with the ultimate goal of beginning NASA-sanctioned flights to the station around 2017.
With the dramatic unveiling of the Dragon V2 on Thursday, Musk took center stage, showing off a spacecraft he described as a significant step forward and saying he plans to build it whether SpaceX wins the NASA contract or not. Uncrewed test flights could begin as early as late 2015, he said, with the first piloted test flight anticipated by mid-2016.

Upgrade to T-Motor!
The stock KingKong 1105-4000kv motor is a perfect match for 2" propellers, it gives you both performance and flight time, but for those who wants faster speed and handling, you can go upgrade with the T-Motor F15-6000kv
motor, same great material and craftsmanship as the high end T-Motor F40 and F60 FPV motors. The upgrade is obvious and noticable, however, with the faster speed you'll get less flight time like 1 minute shorter, and because of the higher kv, use 3S LiPo only
and higher C LiPo
for the increased current drawn. (* upgrade is optional)
Lot's of nice touch, expert nothing less from Strom Racing Drones
Installed with a remote controlled battery-warning buzzer!
A remote controlled battery-warning buzzer comes already installed in the drone. This buzzer will alert you when the low voltage threshold (adjustable) has been reached.

However, Whittle could not afford the £5 renewal fee for his jet engine patent when it became due in January 1935, and because the British Air Ministry refused to pay it the patent was allowed to lapse.
When Whittle first came to know about von Ohain’s engine, he was initially upset as he believed von Ohain’s engine had been developed after seeing his patent. Eventually he became convinced that von Ohain’s work was, in fact, independent. The two became good friends and often toured the U.S. giving talks together.

Stephanie Thomas of PPS won the $100,000 grant, which will fund a study of a fusion engine that physicist Sam Cohen is building at the lab (See U.S. 1, November 4, 2015.)
The company was one of a handful of private companies to win a NASA Innovative Advanced Concepts program grant, which aims to fund creative, technically feasible concepts in aerospace technology. Winners of the 2016 grants included ideas from the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory, the NASA Kennedy Space Center, and the NASA Ames Research Center.
The fusion drive is an offshoot of the Princeton Plasma Physics Lab’s main project, which is fusion power, made using magnetically confined plasma, for generating electricity on Earth. Cohen has proposed that a spacecraft could use plasma for both propulsion and electricity production, allowing engineers to design spacecraft that are faster and more capable than their conventional counterparts, which use chemical burning rockets.
Thomas, an engineer at PSS, wrote a paper detailing how Cohen’s engine could be used in a mission to explore Pluto and even send a rover to the distant planetoid’s surface. The NASA grant will fund further analysis of the Pluto mission and a more refined design of Thomas’s proposed spaceship.
“Direct Fusion Drive is a unique fusion engine concept with a physically feasible approach that would dramatically increase the capability of outer planet missions. The fusion-enabled Pluto mission proposed here is credible, exciting, and the benefits to this and all outer planet missions are difficult to overstate. The truly game-changing levels of thrust and power in a modestly sized package could integrate with our current launch infrastructure while radically expanding the science capability of these missions,” NASA wrote on its website.

Earning a master’s degree demonstrates a higher level of mastery of the subject. Earning a master’s degree can take anywhere from a year to three or four years. Before you can graduate, you usually must write and defend a thesis, a long paper that is the culmination of your specialized research.
Aviation studies the practical aspects of machine-based flight. Students of this subject may study airplane design, flight test protocols or other aspects of heavier-than-air aircraft. Later jobs in this field include airline pilot, aircraft engineer and safety inspector.
Sweden (Sverige) is the largest of the Nordic countries, with a population of about 9.5 million. It borders Norway and Finland and is connected to Denmark via the bridge of Öresund (Öresundsbron). Sweden has a strong tradition of being an open, yet discreet country.

Asteroid 2002 NN4 will move by Earth on Saturday at 11: 20 p.m. ET, NASA suggests
. At an believed diameter of up to one,870 toes, according to the Center for Near Earth Object Scientific tests
, it’s going to absolutely feel like a significant one particular.
But, it’s going to be about 3.two million miles absent from our planet, 13 occasions even more away than the moon, NASA suggests, so you will find definitely no cause to be concerned.
And these sorts of occurrences are really regular. Last August, an asteroid approximated to be about the very same dimensions as 2002 NN4 handed by Earth, and specialists at the time termed it reasonably sized.
And, this asteroid is much less than a mile lengthy. The most significant identified asteroid that orbits the sun is a whopping 21 miles lengthy, Lindley Johnson of NASA’s Planetary Defense Coordination Place of work informed CNN previous calendar year.
Continue to, the chance of an asteroid truly hitting Earth is pretty slim — happening once each individual two or 3 generations, Johnson claimed at the time.
In 2013, a meteor just 55 ft in diameter broke as a result of the Earth’s ambiance around Russia. The meteor did not really make impact with the planet, but the blast nonetheless wounded extra than 1,00 men and women
Being tens of millions of miles away, that should not be the scenario with 2002 NN4. So you can devote Saturday evening calming, knowing that an asteroid is in actuality not coming to blast us. Today, at the very least.
The up coming time 2002 NN4 will be wherever around this close to us is in June 2029. | aerospace |

This guide offers some help in tuning the high-level fixed-wing controllers needed for flying missions and in altitude/position control mode. PX4 uses TECS for altitude and airspeed control, and L1 for horizontal heading/position control.
This guide is for advanced users / experts only. If you don't understand TECS tuning you may crash your aircraft.
An incorrectly set gain during tuning can make altitude or heading control unstable. A pilot tuning the TECS gains should therefore be able to fly and land the plane in stabilized control mode.
All parameters are documented in the Parameter Reference. The most important parameters are covered in this guide.
# TECS Tuning (Altitude and Airspeed)
TECS (Total Energy Control System) is a guidance algorithm for fixed-wing aircraft that coordinates throttle and pitch angle setpoints to control the aircraft's altitude and airspeed. For a detailed description of the TECS algorithm and the control diagram, see Controller Diagrams.
A well-tuned attitude controller is required before tuning TECS: PID Tuning Guide.
Tuning TECS is mainly about setting the airframe limitations correctly. Those limitations can be specified in terms of parameters that can be determined from a sequence of flight maneuvers, which are described below. Most of the maneuvers required the plane to be flown by a pilot in Stabilized flight mode.
It is highly beneficial to have a person available who can read and take note of telemetry data while the pilot is flying the maneuvers. To improve accuracy we also recommended that you verify the data obtained during flight with the data recorded in the flight logs.
# 1st: Trim Conditions
Fly in stabilized mode and find trim values for both throttle and pitch angle for level flight at trim airspeed. Use throttle to adjust airspeed and pitch to keep level flight.
Set the following parameters:
- FW_AIRSPD_TRIM - set to the desired trim airspeed flown during the maneuver.
- FW_THR_CRUISE - set to the throttle required to fly at trim airspeed.
- FW_PSP_OFF - set to the pitch angle required to maintain level flight.
# 2nd: Airspeed & Throttle Limits
Fly in stabilized mode and increase throttle while maintaining level flight using pitch control - until the vehicle reaches the maximum allowed airspeed.
Set the following parameters:
- FW_THR_MAX - set to the throttle you applied to reach maximum airspeed during level flight.
- FW_THR_MIN - set to the minimum throttle the plane should fly at.
- FW_AIRSPD_MAX - set to the maximum airspeed you achieved during level flight at
# 3rd: Pitch & Climb Rate Limits
Do not use FW_T_CLMB_MAX, FW_T_SINK_MAX or FW_T_SINK_MIN to specify the desired climb or sink performance you would like to get from the vehicle! The parameters define the operating limitations and they should be set during the tuning phase, as described below.
Fly in stabilized mode, apply full throttle (
FW_THR_MAX) and slowly increase the pitch angle of the vehicle until the airspeed reaches
- FW_P_LIM_MAX - set to the pitch angle required to climb at trim airspeed when applying
- FW_T_CLMB_MAX - set to the climb rate achieved during the climb at
Fly in stabilized mode, reduce the throttle to
FW_THR_MIN and slowly decrease the pitch angle until the vehicle reaches
- FW_P_LIM_MIN - set to the pitch angle required to reach
- FW_T_SINK_MAX - set to the sink rate achieved during the descent.
Fly in stabilized mode, reduce throttle to
FW_THR_MIN and adjust the pitch angle such that the plane maintains
- FW_T_SINK_MIN - set to the sink rate achieved while maintaining
Specify the target climb and sink rate for autonomous missions by adjusting FW_T_CLMB_R_SP and FW_T_SINK_R_SP. These specify the height rates at which the vehicle will climb or descend in order to change altitude. Furthermore, these two values define the height rate limits commanded by the user in Altitude mode and Position mode.
# L1 Controller Tuning (Position)
All L1 parameters are described here.

Following the grounding of hundreds of flights at London’s Gatwick and Heathrow airports in 2018 and 2019, the British government is working on a new Drones Bill that aims to further restrict the use of both commercial and personal drones.
In March this year, the airport drone exclusion zone was increased from one to five kilometers with additional restrictions at the end of runways to protect incoming and outgoing flights. From 30 November, all drones must be registered with the Civil Aviation Authority and owners must take an online safety test. While there is already a fine and potential prison sentence for users flying drones above 400 feet, the new legislation will also penalize those who fail to register their aircraft or take (and pass) the requisite exam.
As of November, police will be given the power to enter and search properties when they have good reason to suspect illicit drone activity. They will also be able to hand out fixed penalty notices for minor offences, such as failure to comply with an officer’s request to land a drone. The British government is continuing to invest in counter-drone technology e.g. geofencing and has plans to introduce new monitoring and tracking systems in the next few years.
At BSWi, we have created an advance anti-drone system in response to the security threats posed by drones and other UAVs. Our proprietary technology incorporates sensors that rapidly scan the environment to detect, classify, and neutralize threats before they can cause disruption and/or damage.

Much the same way that nearly every company today is at its core a technology company, every company of tomorrow will be a space company. So declares Chad Anderson, author of “The Space Economy” and founder of Space Capital. This makes space the next frontier in investing. By 2040, Morgan Stanley estimates, the space industry could be generating annual revenues of $1 trillion or more. Growth in the sector is set to shoot into the stratosphere, making space investment a solid play.
With so much of our terrestrial lives connected to the Internet of Things, there’s a great need for more satellite broadband internet. That means launching a lot more satellites into low-Earth orbit, which means a lot of business for companies such as SpaceX, Blue Origin, Rocket Lab, and Firefly Aerospace that specialize in that sort of thing.
Morgan Stanley’s projections have satellite broadband accounting for about half of the space industry’s growth in the next 15 years.
“The demand for data is growing at an exponential rate, while the cost of access to space (and, by extension, data) is falling by orders of magnitude,” equity analyst Adam Jonas said. “We believe the largest opportunity comes from providing Internet access to under- and unserved parts of the world, but there also is going to be increased demand for bandwidth from autonomous cars, the Internet of Things, artificial intelligence, virtual reality, and video.”
Keeping track of things on Earth using technology like GPS, Earth observation, and advanced communications technologies will require more and more small satellite launches into LEO and creative ways of keeping them out of each other’s way.
Nearly $50 billion of private capital has been put into space investment since 2015, and the money will be pouring in over the next several years as technologies improve and more startups enter the industry.
Direct-to-device launches have proven successful this year, with SpaceX sending text messages via Starlink on T-Mobile’s cellular network. AST SpaceMobile began launching its 5G satellites this year, and Iridium plans to test its D2D service next year with a full rollout in 2026.
Launched on reusable rockets, these companies are building the infrastructure of the space industry.
“We think of reusable rockets as an elevator to low-Earth orbit (LEO),” Jonas said. “Just as further innovation in elevator construction was required before today’s skyscrapers could dot the skyline, so too will opportunities in space mature because of access and falling launch costs.”
Public Sector & Beyond LEO
Public sector spending in space is also accelerating at astronomical rates, with the U.S., China, Russia, Japan, and France committing vast sums to various aerospace and defense projects. A few years ago, the U.S. Space Force didn’t exist, and now it has a $30 billion budget for 2024. The Space Development Agency has big plans for communications and missile tracking satellites in LEO.
“I think the commitment of public spending represents a more attractive space for investors to explore,” Clayton Pfannenstiel, manager of the Fidelity Select Defense and Aerospace Portfolio, wrote. “The commercial market is seeing robust growth, but business models still need to prove out. The majority of public space companies do not generate free cash flow today, and existing defense companies are relatively more proven.”
This makes firms with existing defense contracts such as Northrop Grumman and Lockheed Martin safe bets for space investment.
Going beyond LEO, investors could shoot for the moon and even the stars. In February, Intuitive Machines’ IM-1 landed on the moon, paving the way for regular lunar cargo shipments. Firefly’s Blue Ghost is slated for a moon mission this year.
With NASA set to launch several lunar missions in the next few years, there will be a lot of activity on the moon in the near future, making regular cargo deliveries a normal thing.
“LEO ventures may increasingly serve as proof-of-concept precursors for higher-altitude ventures, including those at cislunar distances and beyond. With advances in enabling technologies for deep-space activities, such as launch services and in-space infrastructure, investors may look beyond LEO for the next frontier of investment opportunities. Several customer and investor signals point to cislunar space as a key growth opportunity in the next decade,” McKinsey analysts wrote.
Expanding Investment Horizons
“Our analysis shows that there are opportunities for investors of all stripes; the industry contains asset-light and technology-driven businesses, as well as infrastructure assets and supporting services businesses, all of which stand to benefit from the significant growth of the global space industry,” Matt Alabaster, a partner in PwC Strategy& UK wrote.
Eight of the 15 largest private equity firms and 13 of the largest 15 venture capital firms in the world have made space investment part of the portfolios, and the number of use cases for space technologies continues to grow as quickly as the technologies themselves.
Space investment from VC firms such as Founders Fund and Lux Capital has gone to early-stage startups focused on satellites and the rockets that launch them. The steady flow of defense spending makes stock in defense contractors a safe play. There are a number of ETFs, including SPDR S&P Aerospace & Defense ETF and Procure Space ETF offering investment in different aspects of the space industry.
Space tourism has already begun, and within a few years more options will come available for a wider proportion of the general public. Asteroid mining could in the end prove more lucrative than them all. Space investment is just getting started, and the opportunities could be limitless. | aerospace |

AeroGuard has partnered with SkyWest Airlines for the past five years and as part of this relationship, their Pilot Pathway program has provided students with a clear path to develop their flight experience and join SkyWest Airlines with an interview with the first guaranteed officer and tuition reimbursement.
Now, as demand for pilots increases, SkyWest Airlines has announced agreements with all four major airlines so that two-year-old SkyWest captains can receive guaranteed pilot interviews with each of them.
This means that from the time a student joins AeroGuard Flight Training Center, with no prior experience necessary, their journey to becoming an airline pilot at four different major airlines is clear and predictable.
After completing the program as a student, with 7 FAA ratings and certificates, AeroGuard graduates are offered a guaranteed interview for a flight instructor position with AeroGuard to develop their flight experience to a minimum required, usually 1,500 hours, while earning pay and benefits.
Once these pilots have earned the required flight time, which typically takes around 2.5 years from their start as a student, they are then assured of a final first officer interview with SkyWest Airlines, where upon acceptance and completion of initial operating experience, they will also receive a tuition reimbursement of $17,500.
Now, SkyWest Airlines has announced guaranteed pilot interviews with Delta, United, Alaska and, more recently, Southwest Airlines, so pilots can upgrade to captain for a two-year term. This makes the career path complete from student pilot, to regional premier, to major airline, at every step.
Since the COVID pandemic, the demand for air travel has been exceptionally high and there has never been a better time to become a pilot. This program with AeroGuard and SkyWest is unique in giving pilots a choice of four major airlines and giving them control over their career and schedule.
AeroGuard Flight Training Center has four locations nationwide and is focused on developing future airline pilots through a high-quality curriculum, accelerated training, and professional training environment.

The American passenger who forced an EVA Air flight attendant to undress and wipe him has died
Taipei Times reports that the obese passenger who had forced an EVA Air stewardess to undress and wipe his behind on board, has died in Thailand.
In January, the 200kg passenger demanded flight attendant Guo to remove his underwear and wipe him after he went to the toilet. He claimed he was unable to do so as he had injured his arm.
Guo had reluctantly agreed to undress him. When she tried to cover the passenger’s genitals with a blanket, he slapped her wrist away. The man reportedly moaned in pleasure as Guo wiped his behind.
The air stewardess was diagnosed with acute stress disorder after the strenuous ordeal and was granted sick leave.
EVA Air said the same passenger had defecated in his seat on a flight last May after the crew rejected his demands, resulting in a foul smell in the cabin for over 10 hours.
Despite making the news, the man booked another flight with EVA air scheduled for next month.
On 1 February, the Taiwanese airline said it would reach out to the passenger telling him that he would not be allowed to board the flight.
When EVA Air tried to contact him, the airline was informed that he had died of a personal illness in Ko Samui, Thailand.
The airline has been working with the passenger’s family to cancel his booked tickets. | aerospace |

Springer Science & Business Media, 2008 M12 10 - 272 páginas
The aim of this popular science text is to explain aerodynamic and astrodynamic flight without the use of mathematics, in an informal style, for non-technical readers who are interested in spaceflight and spacecraft.
The book will open with a concise introductory chapter, chronicling the ‘space age’ up to the present, and a brief ‘forward look’ into near-future developments. Chapter 2 provides the historical context upon which the current developments in spaceflight have been built. Orbital motion will be introduced in Chapter 3, and how to get there using launch vehicles is addressed in Chapter 4. Chapters 5 and 6 look at how spacecraft are designed, and Chapter 7 addresses the additional design constraints imposed if the spacecraft has a human crew on board. Chapter 8 gives examples of current and proposed spacecraft missions, both Earth orbiting and interplanetary. Chapter 9 will look at near future manned flight developments – for example, a mission to Mars and/or space tourism. The book closes with a concluding chapter, which reflects on prospects for the future of robotic and manned space exploration.

Vera C. Rubin Observatory’s detailed, big-picture view of our Solar System and ability to quickly detect and track moving objects will provide a gold mine of data to benefit space mission planning and preparation
7 February 2024
Vera C. Rubin Observatory will help scientists identify intriguing targets to prioritize for future space missions by detecting millions of new Solar System objects, and by revealing — in more detail than we’ve ever seen — the broader context in which these objects exist. Additionally, Rubin may alert scientists to the existence of objects like asteroids, comets, or visiting interstellar objects in time to determine their trajectories and prepare space missions to study them.
We live in a very exciting time for Solar System exploration, with recent headlines announcing new results from space missions like NASA’s OSIRIS-REx, Lucy, and Psyche, and ESA’s Juice. These uncrewed spacecraft have been visiting our cosmic neighbors and returning close-up images, detailed information, and even extraterrestrial rocks and dust to Earth. But space missions are only possible with extensive research, preparation, and guidance by scientists here on Earth — and observations from ground-based astronomical observatories are critical to this process. Vera C. Rubin Observatory, jointly funded by the US National Science Foundation (NSF) and the US Department of Energy (DOE), will soon start producing one of the largest and most uniform astronomical data sets scientists have ever had, providing them with a treasure trove of information they can use to plan and prepare the next generation of scientifically rewarding and ambitious space missions.
Rubin Observatory is located in Chile and will begin science operations in late 2025. Rubin Observatory is a Program of NSF’s NOIRLab, which, along with SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory, will cooperatively operate Rubin.
The Solar System, our cosmic backyard, is teeming with billions of small rocky and icy objects. Most formed in early times, such as near-Earth objects and Trojan asteroids, while others are distant travelers from solar systems beyond our own, known as interstellar objects.
Over the ten-year Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST), Rubin Observatory will scan the entire southern hemisphere sky every few nights with an 8.4-meter, fast-moving telescope and the largest digital camera in the world, revealing millions of previously unknown Solar System objects for the very first time. Rubin Observatory’s survey is expected to potentially quintuple our current census of known objects in the Solar System, which scientists have been painstakingly building for more than 200 years.
“Nothing will come close to the depth of Rubin’s survey and the level of characterization we will get for Solar System objects,” says Siegfried Eggl, Assistant Professor at University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign and Lead of the Inner Solar System Working Group within the Rubin/LSST Solar System Science Collaboration. “It is fascinating that we have the capability to visit interesting objects and look at them close-up. But to do that we need to know they exist, and we need to know where they are. This is what Rubin will tell us.”
While detecting millions of new individual objects, Rubin will also provide information about the Solar System’s broader landscape and reveal whole regions that contain scientifically interesting or unique objects to consider for future space missions.
“If you think of Rubin as looking at a beach, you see millions and millions of individual sand grains, that together constitute the entire beach,” says Eggl, “There might be an area of yellow sand, or volcanic black sand, and a space mission to an object in that region could investigate what makes it different. Often we don’t know what’s weird or interesting unless we know the context it’s in.”
In addition to providing astronomers and astrophysicists with the most comprehensive, big-picture view of the southern sky to date, Rubin will also alert them to changes in the night sky within 60 seconds of detecting them. This early warning system could prompt scientists to start preparing a space mission to a fast-moving target — perhaps even a visiting interstellar object, suggests Eggl. “Rubin is capable of giving us the prep time we need to launch a mission to intercept an interstellar object. That’s a synergy that’s very unique to Rubin, and unique to the time we’re living in.” In fact, such missions are already in development — the JAXA/ESA Comet Interceptor mission will launch in 2029 and await the discovery (likely by Rubin) of a visitable long-period Solar System comet or interstellar object passing by the Sun for the first time.
Rubin’s detailed and frequent observations of Solar System objects and their locations could benefit space missions already in progress as well, alerting scientists to worthwhile observing opportunities near a spacecraft’s path, or within reach via a small detour. NASA’s Lucy, for example, is on a 12-year mission that Rubin is well-poised to influence. Lucy, the first space mission sent to study asteroids trapped in and around Jupiter’s orbit, has already returned valuable scientific information — and some unexpected results. And, when Rubin’s survey begins, smaller, fainter asteroids near Lucy’s future path will come into view for scientists here on Earth for the first time, potentially offering new flyby opportunities — and new scientific surprises — we can’t begin to predict.
“With our current telescopes we’ve essentially been looking at the big boulders on the beach,” says Eggl, “but Rubin will zoom in on the finer grains of sand.”

A drone was flown by police along the perimeter of the Maracanã Stadium, during the Copa America football tournament. The Unmanned Aerial System (UAS) was used in single and multi-UAS missions to gather data on public safety hazards and aid any emergency response.
The product used by Military Police of Rio de Janeiro State (PMERJ) was the AtlasPRO, with an endurance of 50 minutes of flight time and a range of 10 km. The developers point to its MESH multi-node communication, which allows an operator to command and control a drone network from a unified ground control system (GCS). This the makers add allows the operator to divide missions among several UAS and maintain constant “eyes in the sky” using autonomous hot-swap; so that, once a first drone runs out of battery, a second takes off to replace it above a point of interest. In one documented use of the UAS in a search-and-rescue mission, AtlasPRO facilitated the European search-and-rescue forces in locating a missing person.
Ivan Tolchinsky, Founder and CEO of Atlas said: “Advanced first responders like the PMERJ are increasingly embracing smart technologies such as autonomous UAS to significantly bolster their security capabilities. As the leading provider of tactical and autonomous UAS, we power first responders around the world with high-caliber, cost-effective, end-to-end UAS solutions that provide timely, accurate data and help save both lives and money.”
And Colonel André Batista, Commander of the Choque Special Forces said: “As the force responsible for assuring the security of the residents of Rio and the Copa America tournament, we were determined to use the most advanced technological capabilities available on the market to serve our mission needs. Deploying AtlasPRO helped us guarantee security for the Copa America tournament efficiently and cost-effectively.”
The hosts Brazil won the 2019 Copa América, beating Peru 3-1 on Sunday, July 7, at the Maracana. | aerospace |

The G700 aircraft. Anyone who knows about the Gulfstream G650 probably understands the popularity of the aircraft and why so many customers prefer it. Anyone who has heard about Gulfstream’s plans for the G700, probably already knows why it has a very good opportunity to be even better than the G650.
With test flights as early as February 2020, the G700 (G7) is looking to be available for delivery in 2022 and is apparently already sold out until 2025. Being boasted as one of the largest private jets on the market, there are many additional features that put this aircraft in its own class. For example, the G700 features of the longest, tallest and widest cabin available for a private jet. It has up to 5 living areas, 20 windows and can seat up to 19 passengers and sleep up to 13 passengers as per their website.
Powered by a brand new Rolls-Royce Pearl 700 engines, the G700 can fly at a high-speed cruise of Mach 0.90 for approximately 6,400 nautical miles/11,853 km. At its long-range cruise, the aircraft can reach Mach 0.85 for 7,500 nautical miles/13,890 km (just 200 nmi less than the Bombardier Global 7500). Overall making the G700 approx. 3-5% more fuel efficient than it’s predecessors.
Along with their industry only ultrahigh-definition circadian lighting system. Another feature available in this aircraft is it’s predictive landing performance system (powered by Symmetry Flight Deck). Essentially this is a safety mechanism that shows pilots the aircraft stopping point, along with other visual cues that may be important for landing.
Gulfstream aerospace corp. has also created an “ultragalley” with 122 inches of linear counter space, crew compartment, a passenger lounge, a master suite with shower and more. It can almost be considered another living space on its own.
As per Gulfstream, they went to great lengths to understand different ways to keep noise to a minimum. By studying how submarines keep noise low. Gulfstream was able to determine a way to use these engineering techniques to provide an aircraft with the some of the lowest noise. Not just in their product line, but in the industry.
With deliveries set to begin in 2022, the new G700 ($75 million) is looking to be one of the quietest and most connected airplanes Gulfstream has ever built. Keep checking back as we will be staying up to date with the project and any exciting new developments that may arise.
*These are general specifications of the above mentioned aircraft. Please see each listing for details on their individual specifications, layout and performance. | aerospace |

The Bedford-based Aircraft Research Association (ARA), was founded in 1952 as an independent research and development organisation by 14 member companies, of the Society British Aerospace Companies, including Blackburn & General Aircraft, A.V. Roe & Co., Rolls Royce, and Hawker Aircraft. Their remit, which remains the same to this day, is to provide specialist services to the aerospace industry; including high speed wind tunnel testing, computational fluid dynamics, and high precision wind tunnel model design and manufacture. With recent Government emphasis on the aerodynamic and aerospace industries, ARA has been able to utilise investment that further enhances its offering to global aerospace partners.
ARA’s customers include most of the world’s major civil aircraft and defence system manufacturers and, with one of the world’s leading transonic wind tunnels on site, it is an important strategic facility for the UK aerospace industry. This was recognised recently when the Government launched two new initiatives, the UK Aerodynamics Centre and the Aerospace Technology Institute, in which ARA plays a significant and active role. The result of these initiatives was ARA’s access to Government funding, which has been invested to upgrade its wind tunnel, computational and machining capacity. This also included the purchase of a Huron KX50M five-axis machining centre from Fortron UK.
The Design and Manufacturing department, at ARA, focusses on the production of one-off and low-volume scale models, and associated equipment, for use in its own transonic wind tunnel (maximum speed Mach 1.4); as well as low-speed, transonic, supersonic and hypersonic wind tunnels in Europe, America and Asia. ARA is also a supplier of models for the European Transonic Wind Tunnel (ETW) in Germany and the NASA National Transonic Facility (NTF) in America. These are two of the largest cryogenic wind tunnel facilities in the world. The accuracy of these models is paramount as any surface deviations can affect the wind tunnel test results. Therefore, surfaces have to be produced to 0.025 mm geometric tolerances, with no steps on the surfaces whatsoever. This requires a high level of machining skill, together with manual polishing and finishing.
With some highly complex models requiring up to 3 months of machining time alone, the Government grant enabled ARA to review its machining capacity, which up to then included a number of large machining centres, and some smaller five-axis machines. ARA identified the need for a large five-axis capability that would open up opportunities for larger model manufacture, and also improve quality and surface finish; due to fewer set ups being required. The machine chosen was a Huron KX50M, supplied by Fortron UK. The machine is part of the specialist five-axis, high speed, machine range from Strasbourg, France-based Huron, whose focus is on high technology industries such as the aerospace sector. Established over 100 years ago Huron has consistently developed innovative, high-technology, high-performance products.
The Huron KMX50M is a portal-style machine with continuous five-axis movement, with the rotational B and C axes contained within the milling head, and enhanced with linear axis travels of 2000 mm, 1700 mm and 800 mm in X, Y and Z, respectively.
“The Huron KX 50 meets our requirements completely and we are using its high speed machining capability to improve surface quality (or reduce cycle times), which in turn is reducing the amount of manual finishing required,”
says Martin Hammond, ARA’s Machining Strategy Leader.
“One of our major criteria was reliability, as due to challenging manufacturing timescales we need to be confident that the machine will perform as expected, and to the accuracy levels that we need, In this respect the Huron has not let us down.”
The Huron KX series of machines all feature +/- 95 degree movement in the B axis and +/- 190 degrees in the C axis and the KX50M, at ARA, benefits from a 75 KW/20,000 revs/min HSK 63A spindle, with control being provided by a Heidenhain iTNC 530 contouring control. The combination of machine build quality, and control system, results in a highly accurate machine, with repeatability of 0.004 mm in the linear axes, and 5 seconds in the rotational axes. To maximise the potential of the machine, especially on the cryogenic models that ARA produces, Huron and Fortron UK worked closely with ARA after installation to further develop the high speed machining strategies being used.
“Having this Huron machine means we now have the capability to manufacture larger wind tunnel models, than we could on our existing equipment,”
says Nigel Corby, ARA’s Business Development Executive.
“The performance of the machine also makes us more competitive on the world stage, where we have four, or five, main competitors for the research work that we undertake; and, while our core capability is in the design and development of aerospace related wind tunnel models, the addition of the Huron KX50M has also opened up opportunities to accept work from customers, who have a requirement for precision manufacturing of high value, highly complex components, for any industry application.” | aerospace |

Within three years, nearly 800 pounds of any contemporary car on the road will be plastic, and now that the material is being used for structural loads, safety and fuel efficiency in the air, the sky’s the limit, right?
Could the wing or tail assembly be next?
Plastics applications already speckle the interiors of any commercial jet, airplane or helicopter from the tray table at your arm, the windows on your right and left, or the canopy fixed overhead.
And this what you can see.
Fasteners, valve seats, pump gears, electrical standoffs, and insulators for the endless array of cables and wires are hidden under each wing, beneath your feet or behind the panels along the cabin walls.
Although fluctuating prices in raw material remains one of the market’s biggest obstacles, perhaps another facing the use of plastics in the air is the material’s “perceived” inability to withstand loads or extreme temperatures.
High performance plastics are heat and flame resistant, and the advanced plastics used in aerospace are resistant to chemicals, won’t corrode and have very little smoke emission.
Following the 2013 crash of Asiana Flight 214 in San Francisco, Plastics News published an article outlining how the addition of advanced plastics helped to save more than 300 lives that day.

Though both turboprop and turbofan engines are turbine engines, they are not the same thing. Let’s explore turboprop vs turbofan engines to see the differences.
Turboprop and turbofan engines are both types of turbine engines that operate the same thermodynamically. But turboprops use the exhaust air to turn a propeller which generates its thrust. Turbofans use a combination of combusted air and bypass air to produce thrust using the exhaust air.
Two of the most common types of turbine engines are turboprop and turbofan engines. Although they operate the exact same way thermodynamically, they are very different engines in how they handle the exhaust they produce. In this article, we’ll take a look at what each type of engine is, how it works, and how these two turbine engines differ from one another.
At SkyTough, we strive to provide only the best, most helpful content to our readers. To do this, we thoroughly research and vet all content before publishing. Additionally, we take input from other experts in the industry and combine that input with our own knowledge. This way you’ll get the full, unbiased information that you’re looking for. So when you’re done reading this article, you’ll truly know the differences between turboprop and turbofan engines!
What Is A Turboprop Engine?
A turboprop engine is a type of turbine engine that has been modified to use the exhaust and associated shaft work to power a propeller, hence the name turboprop. As you may already know, most turbine engines use the exhaust from the combustion process to generate thrust — one of the four components of flight — and propel the airplane through the air.
But inside a turboprop engine, the post-combustion process spins the turbine which is then connected through a propeller through a series of gears. The air comes into the engine and goes through the compressor(s). Turboprop engines are one of the few engines out there that utilize at least one stage of centrifugal compression; most other engines use more simple axial-flow compressors instead.
After being compressed and entering the combustion chamber, the resultant reaction spins the engine’s turbine. Coupled directly to the propellor through a gearbox, this spinning of the turbine turns the propellor which produces the necessary thrust to fly. The exhaust that exits the engine produces negligible energy and is discarded.
Due to the design of the engine and the way that propellers work, these engines tend to lose efficiency at high speeds. This is why turboprop engines are typically only used for smaller, subsonic aircraft that don’t travel as fast as other types of planes do.
What Is A Turbofan Engine?
Similar to a turboprop engine, a turbofan engine is a type of turbine engine. But unlike a turboprop, a turbofan engine doesn’t use the exhaust gasses from the combustion process to turn a propeller. Instead, these engines use the shaft work to power a fan at the front of the engine which can bring in larger amounts of air that is compressed in order to produce thrust. Let’s take a bit of a deeper look.
With a turbofan, air enters the engine through the fan at the front and passes through a series of compressors. This is where the genius of the turbofan engine design comes into play, because some of the air is directed to the jet engine in the center of the engine whereas some of it is passed through more compressors and then directly into the nozzle at the rear of the engine. This air that goes to the nozzle does not have to undergo compression and is converted directly to thrust.
This design leads to quieter engines that produce more thrust while simultaneously being able to be more energy efficient. The differentiation between turbofan engines comes from the ratio of the amount of air that bypasses the combustion chamber and does not undergo combustion to the amount of air that does undergo combustion in order to produce thrust. This ratio is known as the bypass ratio.
A plane with a low bypass ratio is one that produces more thrust because less air is bypassing the combustion chamber, so there is more air being burned to produce thrust. This is good for military aircraft that require more power per pound than other planes. On the other hand, high bypass turbofan engines are ideal when planes that are quieter and more fuel efficient are desired, such as with most commercial airplanes.
Turboprop Vs Turbofan: What Are The Differences?
Now that you know that both turboprop and turbofan engines are just two of the different types of turbine engines out there, let’s highlight some of the key differences.
The biggest differences between turboprop and turbofan engines are the ways that they produce thrust and what each engine does with the exhaust air following combustion. With a turboprop engine, the combustion process is used to spin the turbine and then turn the propeller at the front of the engine. The propeller generates nearly all of the thrust produced by the engine since the amount of exhaust energy is negligible.
With a turbofan engine, on the other hand, the air enters the engine through a fan at the engine’s inlet. Some of the air enters the combustion chamber followed by the nozzle and produces thrust that way, while the rest of the air bypasses combustion and is exhausted directly to generate thrust. Therefore a turbofan engine uses the exhaust — from both combusted air and non-combusted air — to generate thrust.
Efficiency and Limitations
Just like any other type of vehicle out there, such as your car, the efficiency of the engines used in airplanes is always an area of concern. Due to the ways that turboprop and turbofans operate entirely differently from one another, each one is more efficient than the other at certain speeds and altitudes, with each one being limited by a different factor.
For turboprop engines, the limiting factor with regards to their efficiency is propeller speed. Without going into the nitty-gritty details of how propellers work to generate thrust, just know that the propeller blade area must increase proportionally to the engine’s power output. This can be done by either increasing the number of blades, adding chords to each blade, or increasing the blade length.
Usually, the blade area is increased by increasing the blade lengths. But this can only be done to a certain degree since blade tip speed increases exponentially and will eventually need to be supersonic to generate enough speed. This is typically the limitation of the efficient operating range of propeller engines, including turboprops. For that reason, turboprop engines are most efficient at subsonic speeds.
Turbofan engines are typically not limited by airspeed due to the way that the intake works and the lack of a propeller. With turbofan engines, the intakes are specially designed to control the speed of the intake air. Even at higher speeds, the air intakes are designed to lower the airspeed to something more usable, meaning that these engines can usually operate efficiently at speeds far greater than a turboprop.
For turbofans, the limiting factor when it comes to efficiency is a combination of the engine’s internal temperatures, the compression ratio, and the nozzle design. At some point, the engine can only handle so much air and compression, and the nozzle can only produce so much thrust from the amount of air the engine is taking in.
Overall, a turboprop engine is typically going to be more efficient at subsonic speeds than a turbofan flying in the same conditions. But a turbofan engine is able to continue operating at far higher speeds than a turbofan and is necessary for planes that fly at supersonic speeds. Even at lower speeds, a turbofan engine will usually produce more relative thrust to get the plane to its destination more quickly — it’ll just use more fuel in the process.
When it comes to airplane engines, performance is closely tied to efficiency since one usually dictates the other and they are both limited by the same factors. So a turboprop engine’s performance capabilities are limited by propeller speed, and a turbofan engine’s performance is limited by the operating temperatures, compression ratio, and nozzle design.
That said, I won’t spend time explaining the limitations of each engine type again. Rather, let’s take a look at the actual performance limitations of each. As mentioned in the above section, a turboprop is usually limited to subsonic flight. Not only does its efficiency drastically dwindle at supersonic speeds, the ability of the engine to continue producing thrust tapers just as quickly. So for all intents and purposes, a turboprop engine is almost exclusively used at subsonic speeds.
As you might then imagine, a turbofan’s performance capability is significantly higher than a turboprop’s. Undoubtedly the best example of how well a turbofan engine can perform is by taking a look at the fastest plane ever — the Lockheed Martin SR-71 Blackbird. Using turbofan engines, this incredible plane was able to fly at 2,193 miles per hour and reach astounding altitudes of over 85,000 feet.
All said and done, a turbofan has much higher potential performance capabilities than a turboprop engine. Since it’s able to continue producing thrust at higher speeds, a turbofan engine allows planes to continue accelerating, even past the speed of sound. That said, as mentioned in the previous section, a turboprop will perform more efficiently at the same atmospheric conditions during subsonic flights.
Turboprop Vs Turbofan: Which One Is Safer?
Before you begin to worry about any potential safety pitfalls of either type of engine, I’ll preface this section by saying that both turboprop and turbofan engines are incredibly safe and reliable. That said, there are a few things to keep in mind with each type of engine that has more to do with the way they’re installed rather than the safety and reliability that comes up during normal flying operations.
With turboprops, you can probably guess what the biggest issue is when it comes to safety — the propeller. Propellers spin fast (like really fast) and can create a safety hazard for anyone that gets close to it during operation. Secondly, propellers also need adequate clearance from the engines, fuselage, and any other part of the airplane, which can create aerodynamic issues that are not present with turbofan engines.
And even though airplanes can fly when an engine fails, the mounting location and aerodynamic deficiencies of the turboprop engine will produce excessive drag and resultant torque. When one engine fails on a multi-engine turboprop aircraft, the working engine will produce more torque and cause the plane to naturally roll that way, which can create a much more hectic and stressful landing experience for the pilots involved.
If you recall from above how turboprop motors work, by transferring rotational energy from the turbine to the propeller itself, then you’ll understand that these engines also face more vibrational issues than other engine types. The turbine spins, which then runs through a gearbox where the output shaft must spin the propeller at the necessary slower speeds needed for operation. This creates more avenues for failure.
Comparing these factors to a turbofan engine, the effects are less drastic. First of all, turbofans can be mounted much closer to the fuselage or in other locations that present far fewer issues with aerodynamics. Also without the added resistance of a propeller, if one engine fails in a multi-engine turbofan airplane, there will not be nearly as much excessive force acting on the plane. This makes flying a turbofan-powered aircraft easier if engine failure occurs.
Secondly, since there is no gearbox to transfer the rotational energy from the spinning turbine to the propeller, there is less risk of excessive vibration. And while turboprop engines are designed to account for this vibration, it’s worth noting that the issue won’t be as prevalent in turbofans. However, turbofans typically run hotter than turboprop engines, which could potentially present other issues entirely.
All that said, the actual engines themselves are just about as safe as one another, minus any potential issues from the vibrations. The biggest difference, the aerodynamic disparity, is moreso due to the installation requirements of the turboprop engine, not the actual engine itself. For all intent and purposes, both engines are safe and reliable, but a plane using a turbofan engine might be easier to operate in the event of engine failure.
Turboprop Vs Turbofan: Which One Is Better?
Determining which type of engine is better is typically a subjective discussion that cannot so easily be answered. In the end, like with most things, it will come down almost entirely to what you’re looking to get out of the engine and what your goals are for the aircraft in mind. Both a turboprop and a turbofan engine could be better for a given situation.
The best way to figure out which one is better is to combine everything that we’ve looked at so far — performance, efficiency, limitations, and safety. Since I’ve detailed this above, I will just summarize the conclusions here and try to come up with a definitive answer of which engine is better. But that’s not as easy as you might think!
In terms of performance, efficiency, and limitations, it really just comes down to what you want to do with the airplane. If you know you’ll be flying at lower speeds (i.e. subsonic speeds), then a turboprop engine will be more efficient and can save money on airplane fuel. However, if you’ll be operating at subsonic speeds, then you most certainly want to have an airplane using a turbofan engine to operate efficiently.
For these categories, there is no definitive answer.
When it comes to safety, you know from above that both engine types are reliable and safe. Turboprop engines can create excessive drag and unbalanced torque if one were to fail on a multi-engine plane, whereas turbofans won’t have this problem. At least not to the same extent. But then again, turbofans have higher internal operating temperatures at higher speeds, which can lead to other issues.
Again, there is no definitive answer when it comes to safety.
I know that might seem like a cop-out, but it’s actually true! Neither one of these two engine types are inherently better than the other. In certain conditions, a turboprop will be the better choice. In other conditions, a turbofan engine is the way to go. In the end, it comes down to how the aircraft is used and what you hope to get out of flying it! | aerospace |

Tool Control Systems Are Very Important Due To 2 Main Reasons:
Avoiding economic waste or loss due to careless tool stock management; and for FOD safety.
Foreign Object Debris (FOD) is a substance, debris or article alien to a vehicle or system which could potentially cause damage. Foreign Object Damage (also abbreviated FOD) is any damage attributed to a foreign object (i.e. any object that is not part of the vehicle) that can be expressed in physical and economic terms and may degrade the product’s required safety or performance. FOD is an abbreviation often used in aviation to describe both the damage done to aircraft by foreign objects, and the foreign objects themselves.
“Internal FOD” is used to refer to damage or hazards caused by foreign objects inside the aircraft. “Tool FOD” is a serious hazard caused by tools left inside the aircraft after manufacturing or servicing. Tools or other items can get tangled in control cables, jam moving parts, short out electrical connections, or otherwise interfere with safe flight.
Aircraft maintenance teams usually have strict tool control procedures including toolbox inventories to make sure all tools have been removed from an aircraft before it is released for flight. Tools used during manufacturing are tagged with a serial number so if they are found they can be traced.
In order to provide an effective and safe tool control system, EGA Master offers a wide range of products and services. | aerospace |

The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) have planned their second giant mission, and that is the solar orbiter. Typically Solar Orbiter is a spacecraft that will assist the organization in clicking the pictures of northern and southern poles of the Sun. NASA does not merely run it, however, the European Space Agency (ESA) is also in collaboration with the organization to achieve the aim of the solar orbiter.
While peeping into the details of its launch, it has been confirmed by the NASA officials that the spacecraft will launch on 7th February 2020 from Cape Canaveral.
NASA explained spacecraft would utilize the gravity of Venus and Earth to sway out of the ecliptic plane, which is roughly aligned with the equator of the Sun, where all planets move around the Sun in orbits. At that place, Solar Orbiter spacecraft will access the bird’s eye view of the Sun’s poles, and that will be counted as the very first look of the Sun’s poles.
The ESA project scientist Daniel Muller added that it is going to be terra incognita which means an unknown territory. Along with this, the scientist also said that it is typically exploratory science. Daniel is one of the principal researchers of the mission at the European Space Research and Technology Centre in the Netherlands.
“The pole is especially significant for us to have the option to model more precisely,” Holly Gilbert, Nasa venture scientist for the crucial mission, Nasa’s Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland, said. “For predicting space climate occasions, we need a quite exact model of the magnetic field of the Sun across the whole globe.”
According to NASA researches, Sun plays a crucial role in deciding the shape of the space and the world around us. The Sun has a powerful magnetic field, which is extended beyond Pluto, and that opens up a superhighway for the solar particles which get charged, which is commonly known as the solar wind. When this solar wind strikes the Earth’s surface, it can undoubtedly bring the space weather storms, which cause interference to our communication as well as GPS satellites.
A look into the past
Prior to it, Ulysses spacecraft also got launched with the collaboration of ESA and NASA in 1990, but that was decommissioned after taking three rounds around the SUN. But, that spacecraft could not go close to Sun than its distance to the Earth. After a long time development, the spacecraft will carry the closest cameras near the Sun, which will be facing it.
A look into the future
As per the scientists, Solar Orbiter can pass 26 million around the Sun in its lifetime of seven years. The scientists have designed a heat shield to the spacecraft that can bear the temperature of around 900 degrees Fahrenheit, which is 13 times the heat imparted by the Sun at any spacecraft around the Earth’s orbit.
In short, it is the second major mission to the inner Solar System, and NASA, ESA, is quite positive about its results. | aerospace |

I found three aircraft, one of which I have already described, namely the Lockheed C-130 Hercules turboprop cargo lifter. This aircraft is the mainstay of the World Food Program project in Africa because it not only offers a substantial cargo carrying capacity of over 20 tons, but also because it will operate into very short unimproved (read "dirt") runways. This kind of versatility is hard to match with any other airplane, and very important to this kind of mission.
There were two other aircraft, one was a Boeing 727-200 in the UN all-white livery, with the registration of South Africa on its tail, and the other was an Ilyushin IL-76TD heavy lifter, also a cargo plane like the C-130. The Ilyushin, it turns out, is a strategic airplane in the UN relief operations, in Africa for the World Food Program, and also in Indonesia, where, during the recent tsunami, it assisted with the transport of large quantities of supplies to remote airfields.
The Ilyushin is a unique aircraft. With a ramp footprint not much larger than a typical 767, this plane is nonetheless able to lift over 80 tons of cargo into the air out of a modest runway. It serves a vital role in moving cargo to strategic drop points, such as national capitals, where the C-130 can then make distributions to the local area.
The Ilyushin I downloaded was made by Project Tupolev, and includes a realistic panel. In fact, the plane and panel are so realistic that it took me several days and three online manuals to figure out how to work the thing. Even get the engines started is a maze of switches and settings which have to be made in the correct order. Hats off to the Project Tupolev people, of which the Ilyushin is a subsequent offshoot, for a job well done.
There is just one problem with the plane: it won't co-exist with FS2004 ATC routines, so any attempt to fly the plane under ATC control results in a system crash as soon as ATC tries to tell you to begin descending for arrival. It took me a while to figure this out, since there is no warning or explanation of why FS2004 terminates. Sometimes it even vanishes entirely, leaving you with a blank desktop. So anyway, the solution is to fly the plane VFR, without allowing ATC to issue you any instructions. (Maybe I'll figure out the solution to this problem later on, but right now it's the only circumvention I know.)
So far, one mission completed with the IL-76: Dar-Es-Salaam (Tanzania, HTDA) to Entebbe, Uganda (HUEN), about 500 nm. The plane is a joy to fly. Following the instructions: thrust levers to a TLA of 110, let the plane accelerate smoothly to 270 km/h, pull back gently, and there you go, up into the air. Use the yoke trim controls to adjust pitch for a 1500-1800 fpm climb (between 5 and 10 meters/sec), turn on the autopilot, and let the amazing KLN-90B GPS gauge guide you to the destination. (Yes, it uses the KLN-90B, not the default GPS, but don't be fooled by its similarity to other KLN-90B gauges, this one is new, and simulates EVERY function of the real GPS unit, as far as I can tell. In fact, the designers don't offer a user manual of their own. You download the real pilot's handbook and use that!)
I will be talking more about the IL-76TD in future posts. Meanwhile, if you'd like to fly it, go to Avsim.com and download the file il-76td_un.zip, then follow the instructions in there. You'll have to download the base model from a Project Tupolev web site. | aerospace |

By Iain Thomson in San Francisco
11th April 2013
A presentation at the Hack In The Box security summit in Amsterdam has demonstrated that it’s possible to take control of aircraft flight systems and communications using an Android smartphone and some specialized attack code.
Hugo Teso, a security researcher at N.Runs and a commercial airline pilot, spent three years developing the code, buying second-hand commercial flight system software and hardware online and finding vulnerabilities within it. His presentation will cause a few sleepless nights among those with an interest in aircraft security.
Teso’s attack code, dubbed SIMON, along with an Android app called PlaneSploit, can take full control of flight systems and the pilot’s displays. The hacked aircraft could even be controlled using a smartphone’s accelerometer to vary its course and speed by moving the handset about.

The disassembly and consignment of the world’s first two B787-8s to retire from commercial service will be managed by Dublin firm EirTrade Aviation.
First commissioned in 2011, the Dreamliner remains Boeing’s flagship widebody aircraft and has never retired from commercial service before.
The two ten-year-old aircrafts will be disassembled at the same time, with parts expected to be available later on in quarter one of this year.
Ken Fitzgibbon, CEO of EirTrade said that, with the first Dreamliners approaching the 12-year check, the disassembly of these two aircrafts “could not come at a better time” for those looking to source used material, to reduce the cost of maintenance.
“As no B787s have been retired from commercial service to date, there is almost no used serviceable materials market for this platform at the moment.
“We are entering into a specialist area and hope to become a market leader in the provision of USM for the platform which will enable the reduction of the cost of maintenance events for B787 aircraft owners.”
The disassembly process will be carried out in Prestwick, and will take around three months in total.

The current situation within the world of aviation is very optimistic, although there are a number of contradictions. The big players are buying out the small ones, challenges within aviation security are on the constant increase, and new areas of operation and regulation come into play as drones and commercial space flight become a reality.
Much strategic thinking about the future of air transport needs to be accomplished as it predetermines the economy within the entire region. International Air Transport Association predicts that air travel will double within the next 20 years and freight air transport is already one of the fastest growing sectors of the economy within the European Union. What do aviation leaders think of such predictions?
Sixteen meetings will take place during the 2017-2018 academic year in which distinguished aviation company managers will share their views and insights on the situation within various fields of air transport and evaluate the region’s airport systems within a global context. Aviation industry leaders: Gediminas Almantas, CEO of Lithuanian Airports; Gediminas Žiemelis, Chairman of the Board at Avia Solutions Group; Žilvinas Lapinskas, CEO of FL Technics will participate in the upcoming Aviation in the Making events.
Ariandas Šliupas, an independent expert, politician and aviation manager launches the series of talks with the topic ‘Evaluation of Airport Efficiency: Profit or State Interest?’ at 5 PM on the 19th of October, 2017 in Kazimieras Simonavičius University premises.
All the events are free to attend, are held in English and certificates will be available for regular attendees at the end of the series.

After 25 years, military told to move from “expendable” to “reusable” rockets
Alabama Senator Dick Shelby is not happy.
There are still battles ahead for SpaceX getting the military contracts it deserves but things are looking up.
“Senator, reusable rockets will kill jobs and impact the economy of Alabama. Reusing stuff is Euro and Asian lifestyle and is not the American way”
“Earlier this year, it flew the Falcon Heavy rocket. The significance of this larger rocket, powered in part by reused Falcon 9 cores, is that it can hit all nine of the Department of Defense's reference orbits for missions. This effectively means that there are now no military missions that a "reusable rocket" cannot reach.”
I did not know that, important detail. Helps make a solid business case for FH.

China"s first space laboratory, Tiangong I, bade farewell on Monday morning as it re-entered Earth"s atmosphere before breaking apart in a fireball over the South Pacific Ocean.
In a statement posted online, the China Manned Space Agency said the results of analysis and tracking by the Beijing Aerospace Control Center and other Chinese space organizations showed that re-entry took place at 8:15 am and that most of the spacecraft burned up in the process.
Remnants may have crashed somewhere in the central part of the South Pacific, the agency said, without elaborating.
In the last hours of Tiangong I"s flight, Chinese space authorities closely watched its trajectory and released two announcements about its position in orbit on Monday morning before the last one confirming its re-entry.
There were no reports of damage caused by the re-entry, Foreign Ministry spokesman Geng Shuang said at a daily news briefing on Monday.
He said China has been exceedingly responsible in handling the matter in accordance with international treaties and norms, and has shared information with the UN Office for Outer Space Affairs several times to ensure information transparency.
Normally, when an unshielded spacecraft re-enters the atmosphere, external parts such as the solar panels and antennas are the first victims of the atmospheric drag. Then its main structure burns or explodes from increasing heat and friction.
Such a spacecraft normally then disintegrates at an altitude of about 80 kilometers and fragments continue to burn. Most are reduced to ash and dissipate. Only a small amount of debris may reach the surface.
Monday"s re-entry put an end to months of speculation surrounding the fate of Tiangong I, which contributed greatly to China"s ability to build a space station on its own.
The 8.5-metric-ton space lab, about the size of a school bus, was launched by a Long March 2F carrier rocket at Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center in northwestern China in September 2011. With a designated life span of two years, the spacecraft was in service for four and a half years before its retirement was announced by authorities in March 2016.
During its operation, the space lab conducted six automatic and astronaut-controlled dockings with the nation"s Shenzhou VIII, Shenzhou IX and Shenzhou X spacecraft.
It hosted China"s first woman astronaut, Liu Yang of the Shenzhou IX mission. The country"s second woman in space, Wang Yaping, from the Shenzhou X mission, did a 40-minute televised science lecture from the space lab watched by more than 60 million Chinese students from about 80,000 schools.
China launched its second space lab, Tiangong II, in September 2016. It was occupied by two Chinese astronauts from the Shenzhou XI mission in October and November of that year. Both the Tiangong I and II were tasked with verifying technologies and equipment that will be used on a future space station.
The nation will start building that space station around 2020, according to the government"s plan. The 60-ton station will have three parts-a core module attached to two space labs, each weighing about 20 tons-and will operate for at least 10 years, according to the manned space agency.
The space station is expected to be fully operational around 2022, it said.
Since 2003, when China sent its first astronaut into space, the country has conducted six manned space flights that totaled 68 days and circled Earth 1,089 times. Chinese astronauts have traveled more than 46 million kilometers in space, performing hundreds of scientific experiments during their missions.black rubber bracelets bulk custom bracelets personalized rubber bracelets band wristbands paper wristbands uk | aerospace |

Ryanair has said flights have been unable to land at Stansted Airport in England due to a technical problem with the landing system and poor weather.
An early-morning incoming flight caused damage to the instrument landing system at the London airport, which was in use due to fog and poor visibility.
The airline said the problems have led to the diversion of a number of its aircraft.
A flight from Cork has been diverted to London Gatwick, while a flight from Dublin was diverted to East Midlands Airport.
Customers are being transferred by coach back to Stansted.
A Stansted spokesman said flights were landing again towards late morning, after a period of around three hours when no touchdowns were possible.
The spokesman said: "Earlier this morning an arriving Gulfstream G550 was involved in an incident that has resulted in some damage to our ILS [landing system]. The aircraft landed safely.
"As a result of this incident and low visibility, there have been restrictions on arriving flights. However, the fog has now lifted and arriving flights are now being accepted.
"Departing flights are unaffected at this time but there could be delays and cancellations later in the day as a result of the earlier disruption to inbound aircraft."
Five Ryanair flights are due to depart from Dublin Airport to Stansted later today.
On its website, Ryanair said the next update would be at 6pm. | aerospace |

NASA hopes the probe will help determine which parts of the sun are providing the energy source for solar winds and solar particles, and how they accelerate to such high speeds.
NASA has postponed the launch of its unmanned spacecraft on a scorching journey towards the sun until tomorrow, to allow engineers more time to investigate a red flag that was raised in the last moment before liftoff.
NASA's planned mission to explore the sun was delayed Saturday as the rocket failed to take off during the designated launch window.
Once on its way, the spacecraft will fly through 24 elliptical orbits around the sun, eventually passing within just 3.8 million miles of the star's visible surface, enduring temperatures of 2,500 degrees as its instruments collect data from the closest vantage point ever attempted.
Saturday's delay was caused by a helium gas sensor that exceeded a launch limit on the Delta IV-Heavy rocket, United Launch Alliance (ULA) said.
NASA says it will try again Sunday.
The probe was scheduled to take off from Florida's Cape Canaveral at 9.28am United Kingdom time, but just one minute and 55 seconds before launch it was cancelled after a technical fault.
The probe is created to plunge into the Sun's mysterious atmosphere, known as the corona, coming within 3.83 million miles (6.16 million kilometers) of its surface during a seven-year mission.
The spacecraft eventually will run out of fuel and, no longer be able to keep its heat shield pointed toward the Sun, will burn and break apart - except perhaps for the rugged heat shield.
But getting so close to the Sun requires slowing down - for which Parker will use the gravity of our neighbor planet, Venus.
The probe is set to use seven Venus flybys over almost seven years to gradually reduce its orbit around the Sun, using instruments created to image the solar wind and study electric and magnetic fields, coronal plasma and energetic particles.
"Parker Solar Probe uses Venus to adjust its course and slow down in order to put the spacecraft on the best trajectory", said Driesman.
The probe is protected by an ultra-powerful heat shield that is just 4.5 inches thick (11.43 centimeters).
But it can withstand 2,500 degrees Fahrenheit (1,370 degrees Celsius) as well as extreme radiation, thanks to its high-tech carbon.
The project, with a $1.5 billion price tag, is the first major mission under Nasa's Living With a Star program.
