Pilot lands huge plane on tiny runway, Massive military plane lands at wrong airport in Tampa, A military cargo plane that typically requires 3,500 feet for takeoff landed unexpectedly Friday at Peter O. Knight Airport, where the longest runway is 95 feet short.
Work began immediately to lighten the load of the 174-foot-long aircraft so that it might leave Davis Islands safely.
The drama ended at 8:27 p.m., when the C-17 Globemaster III took a hop over Hillsborough Bay to MacDill, the original destination. It landed just a few minutes later.
It was unclear why the plane, headed to MacDill, made an unscheduled landing at the small airport near downtown Tampa. Master Sgt. Bryan Gatewood, a spokesman for MacDill Air Force Base, said authorities are investigating.
Hillsborough County Aviation Authority spokeswoman Janet Zink said the plane landed "inadvertently" at Peter O. Knight Airport.
The plane, arriving from U.S. Central Command operations in southwest Asia with 23 passengers and a crew of 19, touched down on Davis Islands about 1:20 p.m., authorities said.
"It was so loud, it woke up my sister who was sleeping at the time," said Chelsea Alper, 23, a Stetson University College of Law student who was in a convenience store on E Davis Boulevard when she heard the roar of the engines.
Minutes later, witnesses saw a caravan of military vehicles respond to the runway, retrieve the crew and begin to haul away cargo.
According to an Air Force fact sheet, the bulky plane has a wingspan of nearly 170 feet.
At 55 feet high, it appeared twice as tall as a nearby hangar, and from certain angles it eclipsed two blue-and-white buses that pulled onto the runway shortly before 5 p.m.

Flying in the air has always been costlier than having a ride on road in a car. But it seems that the scenario is for an immediate overturn or so claims designer John McGinnis, the man behind the innovative Synergy aircraft. The
The promising Synergy aircraft can take up to five people on board with a breathtaking fuel efficiency of 40mph per gallon. Its designers claim that the aircraft can provide 10 times better fuel economy than a small regular jet. In other words, the owner will have to endure only 10 percent of the usual cost of flying a jet. The journey in the revolutionary aircraft will be spectacular with enough room, clam and smooth ride experience and an easy operation, Synergy Aircraft brags on its Kickstarter page.
The Synergy Aircraft team under the highly proficient aircraft designer John McGinnis has been working hard to bring this into reality. A Delta Hawk bio-diesel fueled engine will power the 32-foot wingspan. This propeller engine other than a jet engine rocks a big role in making the aircraft energy-efficient and faster. The aircraft family of McGinnis has not yet revealed the potential top speed of Synergy. Anyway, it may get a speed from 100mph to 450mph.
The team utilizes carbon fiber composites and CNC machines to build the aircraft with stunning fuel efficiency. The aircraft is to come with steady-flying double box tail shape, which will ensure increased drag reduction and make the design simpler and lighter. Well, the aircraft industry is waiting for the magic product with huge enthusiasm. Leading aeronautical gurus and NASA scientists are following the updates about the flight with nervousness. Being a senior member of AIAA and an expert aircraft designer, we have no reason to doubt the word of John McGinnis regarding the Synergy Aircraft.
What it is more stunning with the Synergy is its aerodynamic design and adaptability to hybrid, electric and other advanced engine technologies. According to Synergy team, the airplane is not at all about looks, aesthetics and streamlining, in spite of having a unique aerodynamic design. Beyond everything, it is all about fuel efficiency, speed and cost effectiveness, they claim. Perhaps, in future we can find Synergy as a prominent member among the new generation of day to day air transportation systems like the for Terrafugia's Transition those who have the moolah.
The Synergy team now looks for an initial development cost of $65K on Kickstarter. Of course, it is only a primary cost and the company will require more funds to wind up the project. As of writing this, around 50 donors have backed the project on the fund-rising site with a $3,409 with 18 days to go.

This weekend’s project was getting the USFWS Beaver airplane back to Bethel Safely. The engine blew up when the pilot was trying to deliver over 1,000 lbs of fuel and supplies to a bird research station on the coast. The pilot executed a perfect emergency landing saving the plane, sans engine, and gear. The plane was transported from the coast back to Bethel by helicopter. The troopers picked up the two USFWS staff waiting for a ride back to Bethel at the from the camp. The Beaver is scheduled to get a new engine and be back in the air in days! What a great team at YK Delta Refuge.

With its largest attendance in a decade, the 23rd annual Women in Aviation Conference, held in Dallas, from March 8-10, featured dozens of companies and organizations that were actively recruiting new employees.
This March 2010 accident report is provided by the National Transportation Safety Board. Published as an educational tool, it is intended to help pilots learn from the misfortunes of others.
Aircraft: Lancair IV-P. Injuries: 1 Fatal. Location: Hilton Head, S.C. Aircraft damage: Substantial.
What reportedly happened: According to the pilot, the airplane was in cruise flight when the instrument panel begin to vibrate heavily and oil begin to cover the wind screen. There was a loud “bang” from the engine and then the engine then lost power. The pilot had no forward visibility because of the oil on the windscreen and could not maintain altitude. He elected to make an emergency landing on a nearby beach. During the landing the plane struck and killed a pedestrian.
The Recreational Aviation Foundation (RAF) reserves its highest award, called the Gold Pulaski, for those the board feels truly worthy. Jerry Cain of Lincoln, Montana has been “treasurer and director extraordinaire” since the RAF was formed, says RAF President John McKenna. Jerry flies a Husky A1-A and has steadfastly tracked all donations made since day one. “Even though Jerry officially stepped down December 31, 2011 as treasurer, I haven’t noticed any difference in the effort he puts forth,” noted McKenna at an RAF briefing at the recent Montana Aviation Conference in Bozeman.

You are sunbathing in your back yard while your children are playing in your pool, when a whirring sound overhead alerts you to a drone hovering over your property. You suspect that your privacy is being violated by a drone that is recording your private activities. What do you do?
According to California law it is illegal for the drone operator to fly over your property, but it is not a crime. Recent legislation criminalizing unauthorized surveillance of private property by drones was vetoed by Governor Brown. He justified his veto by essentially saying California doesn’t need more criminal statutes, not even to regulate drone abuse.
You can’t just shoot down the drone. It’s illegal to shoot down a drone even if it’s snooping by your bedroom window. Nearly all drones are subject to Federal Aviation Association (FAA) regulations, which exercise federal authority over national airspace, including unmanned aircraft systems (UASs or

Kerbin itself is a bit smaller than Earth, with a solar system that's similar but with different distances and sizes. Because the hope here is to show in obvious terms how hard orbit is, and also how very expensive it is to send more stuff into space, the absolute difference in sizes should not matter; the relative differences should more than suffice.
|I can't help seeing this and thinking "Missile"|
We start off with the simplest craft imaginable. A crew pod, a heatshield, and a parachute, all on top of a single solid-fuel rocket. When talking about rockets, it's usually useful to split the rocket into two parts: the payload, and the rest of the rocket. Here, our payload is everything on top of the rocket, which all weighs 1.2t. (I'm assuming the measurement system is tons). The rocket itself weighs in at 3.56t, (the entire craft weighs 4.9t) with the fuel inside weighing 2.8 tons. For reference, this means 24% of the rocket is the stuff we want in space, 57% of it is fuel, and the remaining 19% is structural mass. Not too bad.
|One guess as to what this rocket reminds me of|
Next up, we have a craft that can get into orbit and come back down. In fact, it has a little extra fuel for emergencies/bad piloting, but not by much. You can see it has the same payload as the first, so 1.2t again is what we want in orbit. The rocket certainly increased in size though; it in total now weighs 20.3t; the entire craft is four times bigger to get something into orbit, rather than getting it up into space. If anyone ever asks, remember that the hard part is going fast enough to get into orbit, not getting high enough.
Our rocket now has two stages; a bottom stage with three of the same solid-fuel rockets we used in the original rocket, and a second liquid-fuel rocket stage. For reference: the first stage weighs 10.68t, with 8.4t of that being solid fuel. The second stage weighs 8.25t, 6.3t of which is fuel and oxygen. All told, our rocket is now 6% what we want, 72% fuel, and 22% structure mass for the rocket. If you're thinking that this looks like a bad ratio between fuel to everything else, think again. This is actually fairly normal. Rocketry equations are crazy.
|This is the only design that makes me think "Real Rocket"|
Like the first craft I showed, this one is built only to get to orbital height, but not into actual orbit. Like the first, it also doesn't reach high enough, but the two are close enough to compare. The payload this time weighs in at 5.9t, or about 5 times heavier. Underneath are 7 of the same solid-fuel rocket, weighing 24.92t, with 19.6t spent on fuel. The entire craft weighs 31.4t, and the readout involves 19% payload, 62% fuel, and 17% structure. Note the fun part here: we have a rocket substantially bigger than the first, with a much larger payload, but the ratios are all relatively similar. Given the variance between which heights they reach and how air resistance factors in, these are really rather similar. But will the same occur with an orbital variant?
|While I'd rather have all the rockets at the bottom, it was too unstable|
Here's the same payload, but with enough rocket to put it into orbit and come back again. The craft weighs at 99.8t, with the same 5.9t spent on payload. It has 2 stages, one of 15 solid fuel rockets, at 53.4t, and a second liquid fuel stage of 39t. The percentages this time are: 6% payload, 74% fuel, and 20% structural. Unsurprisingly, the ratios are similar to the first orbital rocket!
Even though we had a much larger payload, and a much larger rocket going up, the percentages remained similar. Why? The Tsiolkovsky Rocket Equation. The delta-v required for a given mission will be similar between rockets of various sizes. Assuming they use similar rocket types, they'll have similar exhaust velocities, and so their mass ratios will be similar as well.
Final notes: For anyone familiar with the game, yes, you could make rockets that were likely better than these. I was deliberately attempting to make rockets that behaved similarly to each other, which mandated some inefficiencies. I also used the scientifically less accurate term "weighs" instead of masses, because it sounds better conversationally. Outside of science, one does not refer to mass, they refer to weight, and the word "massive" especially is terrible for conversation. And if you have any questions or comments, please do leave a comment here, and I'll get to it shortly.

No further information on Glenn's cause of death was available.
"John Glenn is the last of the original seven American astronauts who truly had the 'right stuff.' On top of paving the way for the rest of us, he was also a first-class gentleman and an unabashed patriot," U.S. Sen. Bill Nelson, a Florida Democrat, said in a statement.
Glenn's 4-hour, 55-minute spaceflight on Feb. 20, 1962 marked a turning point in the tense race with the Soviet Union to develop missiles capable of precision strikes across the continents. Space was where the technology was showcased and until Glenn's flight, America was behind.
The Soviets had launched the first satellite, Sputnik, on Oct. 4, 1957, the first animal (a dog named Laika) on Nov. 3, 1957, and then the first person, cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin, on April 12, 1961.
"Sputnik was totally unexpected," historian Alan Marcus, now with Mississippi State University, said in an interview marking the 40th anniversary of Glenn's flight.
"Here were what we thought were these backward Russians putting up a satellite. Then came the Cuban missile crisis and we had this incredible tension between the Soviet Union and us. All these problems made Glenn's flight rewarding, but it was not the end-all be-all … It was a step on the way to winning the Cold War," he said.
Against that backdrop came Glenn, a straight-laced Marine Corps pilot from Ohio who had flown 59 combat missions during World War II and 100 missions in Korea before being selected as one of NASA's first astronauts.
In addition to Shepard, Grissom and Glenn, the Mercury Seven included Scott Carpenter, Gordon Cooper, Wally Schirra and Deke Slayton. Glenn, the eldest of the group, was the last surviving member.
Glenn made three orbits around Earth, reaching a maximum altitude of about 162 miles and a speed of about 17,500 mph before splashing down 800 miles southeast of Cape Canaveral, Florida, near Grand Turk Island. He returned home an instant hero, honored with a ticker-tape parade in New York City and a Congressional Medal of Honor from President Kennedy.

The Westland Wasp was a British small first-generation, gas-turbine powered, shipboard anti-submarine helicopter. Produced by Westland Helicopters, it came from the same P.531 programme as the British Army Westland Scout (The Scout is the land based utility variant), and was based on the earlier piston-engined Saunders-Roe Skeeter. Several Skeeter components were used in their construction, including the tailboom, short-legged tricycle undercarriage and rotor blades.
Developing nation: United Kingdom.
Manufacturer/designer: Westland Helicopters.
Number built: 150 Scout and 133 Wasp.
Type aircraft: shipboard anti-submarine helicopter.
First flight: 20 July 1958 G-APNU.
Retired: 2000 Royal Malaysian Navy.
The first prototype Saro P.531 (G-APNU) flying on 20 July and the second (G-APNV) on 30 September 1958. With the prototypes being subject to detailed testing by the Royal Navy, including the evaluation of several different undercarriage layouts, before settling on the definitive arrangement. An order for a pre-production batch of two “Sea Scouts” was placed in September 1961. The first flight of the two pre-production Wasp took place on 28 October 1962. Full production soon commenced, 98 in total being procured for the RN. The Wasp HAS Mk.1 entered service in October 1963, and first production machines were allocated to No.829 Squadron and deployed singly aboard the Royal Navy’s seven Tribal class and seven Leander class frigates. Nine ships operated Wasps during the Falklands War of 1982. Wasps from the ice patrol ship HMS Endurance took part in the attacks, which crippled the Argentine submarine Santa Fe during the Falklands War. A weapon load of some 244kg can be attached to the underside between the undercarriage legs; this may comprise two Mk.44 homing torpedoes or an equivalent weight of depth charges or bombs. The Wasp successfully exported to Brazil, the Netherlands, Indonesia, Malaysia, New Zealand and South Africa.150 Scout and 133 Wasp aircraft were built in total.
Unlike its naval counterpart, the Scout did not achieve the same export success as the Wasp, with the Royal Jordanian Air Force acquiring three helicopters, two were operated in Uganda, and Bahrain had two helicopters which were operated by the Bahrain Public Security Force in police service roles. Unfortunately the Scout never received civilian air worthiness certification.

Passengers flying from Asia to Europe with KLM will soon be offered a new business class experience, following the launch of the Dutch national carrier’s revamped World Business Class cabin.
Featuring a new flat-bed seat, which reclines the full 180⁰, KLM said the new cabin was designed to “accentuate the at-home feeling” for passengers. Designed by B/E Aerospace, the new Diamond Seat will offer a fully-horizontal sleeping position, as will as greater privacy with a partition between the seats and the aisle. The seat also includes a personal TV screen and more storage compartments. As a result of the redesign, the number of seats in the World Business Class cabin aboard a Boeing 747-400 will be reduced from 42 to 35.
KLM has also teamed up with leading Dutch designer Hella Jongerius to upgrade the look and feel of its business class cabin. In addition to the new flat-bed seats, the cabin’s interior features new carpeting, panel decorations, curtains, lighting, blankets, cushions and upholstery.
“It is truly remarkable that KLM is open to this kind of approach for its interior. Aircraft interiors have to meet an unbelievable range of technical requirements. We achieved this by simplifying the new seat, changing its colour and upholstering it with high-quality textiles,” said Jongerius.
First to be fitted with the new cabin products will be KLM’s fleet of 22 B747-400s, with the first flight featuring the new World Business Class expected to take-off in July 2013. The airline will then start work on its 15 B777-200s.

IBEF: January 01, 2020
IndianOil has commissioned its 119th Aviation Fuel Station (AFS) at Agatti Island in Lakshadweep. Air flight operating between Kochi and Agatti did the inaugural refueling.
It is expected that Agatti AFS will provide to the aviation fuel needs of Indian Navy, Pawan Hans, Coast Guard, Alliance Air and other chartered flights.
Agatti is the only island with a runway strip in the remote Lakshadweep islands off Kochi, thus, the only aerodrome in the area. It is a scenic island that is just 7.6 km long situated on a coral atoll (called Agatti atoll).
The IndianOil Agatti AFS expects to provide service to around 2-3 flights daily in the initial time. This availability of jet fuel in Agatti, Lakshadweep is expected to enhance tourism to the so far unexplored region of the country.
The IndianOil Aviation Service is among the top leading aviation fuel solution provider in India and the most-preferred supplier of jet fuel to major international and domestic airlines. IndianOil Aviation Service has a capacity to refuel over 2000 flights in a day which is more than one aircraft per minute, from the bustling metros to the remote airports connecting the vast Indian landscape, from the icy heights of Leh (the highest airport in the world at 10,682 ft) to the distant islands of Andaman & Nicobar.
It also fulfills the fuel requirements of the Indian Defence Services, further refueling VVIP flights at all the airports and remote heli-pads/heli-bases across the Indian subcontinent. IndianOil is the only oil company in the country to market the widest possible range of fuels used by the aviation industry in India- JP-5, Avgas 100LL, Methanol Water Mixture, Jet A-1 and aviation lubricants, etc.

Recent vintage Bombardier CRJ900s and Embraer 175s dot the ramp at Ronald Reagan Washington National airport, the result of the last wave of pilot contract changes at US mainline carriers. But the limits of those contracts are already posing a problem for the next generation of large regional jets.
American Airlines, Delta Air Lines and United Airlines are driving the shift. All three are reducing the number of 50-seat regional jets in their feeder fleets and replacing them with the 76-seat models that are becoming ubiquitous at airports like National across the USA.
The shift is almost entirely economic. Executives from all three carriers cite efficiency improvements, additional ancillary revenue opportunities and passenger preference for the move to larger aircraft.
“Our continued progression to more modern, consistent, fuel-efficient and larger-gauge regional aircraft will improve the operational and revenue performance of our Express operation while substantially improving our product offering,” said James Compton, chief revenue officer of United, in October 2014. “For each 50-seat aircraft an E175 is replacing, we expect to generate over $1 million of annual improved profitability.”
American, Delta and United, in conjunction with their regional partners, have either added or ordered 340 CRJ900s and E175s since December 2012 with deliveries through 2017. They will have removed 447 aircraft with up to 50-seats by the end of this year.
While executives from both Bombardier and Embraer anticipate up to 200 more orders for the current generation of 76-seat jets from US carriers over the next few years, the stage is set for the introduction of the next generation of regional jets in 2017.
St Louis-based Trans States Airlines is scheduled to take delivery of its first Mitsubishi Aircraft MRJ90 in the second half of 2017 and Utah-based SkyWest Airlines its first of the type less than a year later in 2018 under the current delivery schedule. SkyWest will then take the first E175-E2 in 2020.
There is just one hitch – none of the pilot contracts at American, Delta or United will allow for either aircraft.
The issue is size and weight. Contracts at all three carriers cap the size of regional aircraft at 76 seats, with a few exceptions grandfathered in from prior contracts, with a maximum takeoff weight (MTOWs) of 39,010kg (86,000lb).
The MRJ90 will carry 81 to 84 seats in the dual-class configuration popular with US carriers with a MTOW of 39,600kg, while the E175-E2 will carry 80 seats in a dual-class configuration with a MTOW of 44,650kg.
The driver of that additional weight, at least on the E175-E2, is the geared turbofan engines. Embraer anticipates a roughly 16% fuel burn savings over the current E175 with the Pratt & Whitney PW1700G engines as well as a new wing.
“No product with those new engines can bring those benefits without the higher weight,” said an Embraer executive during a visit to the airframer’s factory in São José dos Campos, Brazil, in February.
The clean-sheet MRJ uses the PW1200G geared turbofan engine.
“We believe the MTOW limitations could be relieved to some extent, or the airlines and the passengers cannot enjoy the next generation aircraft,” says Masao Yamagami, chairman and chief executive of Mitsubishi Aircraft America. He adds that he is “optimistic” about the prospects of the MRJ90 in the USA.
Embraer Commercial Aviation president Paulo Cesar Silva said in February that the airframer is “hedging” on the needed contract changes with its E175-E2 but added that he is confident on its prospects.
Delta’s pilot contract is the first to come up for renewal. Negotiations between the carrier and its chapter of the Air Line Pilots Association (ALPA) are already underway ahead of a 31 December expiration date.
Embraer, Mitsubishi, SkyWest and Trans States are all watching the negotiations at Delta closely, their executives say. The mainline carrier set the 76-seat standard for the current round of regional fleet changes in its last pilot contract in June 2012 and could do the same with its next contract.
United’s pilot contract becomes amendable on 31 January 2017 and American’s contract on 1 January 2020.
Both Delta and the carrier’s chapter of ALPA decline to comment on the scope restrictions and the potential for next generation of regional jets in the Delta Connection fleet.
Labour, or at least an airline’s relationship with it, will ultimately be the deciding factor on the necessary scope changes. Delta is seen as having a good relationship with its pilots but other carriers may not be in the same position.
“APA will not agree to any scope concessions,” said the leadership team of the Allied Pilots Association (APA), which represents pilots at American, in a joint letter to members during their last round of contract negotiations in October 2014. The comment followed a proposal by the Fort Worth, Texas-based carrier to change the definition of large regional jet to ones with 71 to 76 seats, which would have allowed for roughly 81 more aircraft than under a previous memorandum of understanding, during already contentious contract talks last fall.
A union spokesperson says their position is unchanged. Referring to the E175-E2, they add: “I have great expectations that Embraer will sell a lot of those airplanes, they’re just going to be flown by mainline pilots.”

The idea behind traffic awareness systems is pretty simple: Warn the pilot when another aircraft is getting too close. All of the systems I know of rely on the intruder aircraft having an operable altitude-encoding transponder. Traffic warning systems come in several flavors, the first being ATC's radar. When targets begin to get too close together on a controller's screen, an alarm sounds to alert the controller. I don't know if the controller is also given some sort of visual alert, but many a time I've heard the aural alarm sounding in the background while a controller was transmitting. When I hear that alarm, I get my head on a swivel.
Traffic alerting systems for aircraft fall into four broad categories: personal collision avoidance systems (aka PCAS), Traffic Information System (TIS), Traffic Alert System (TAS), and Traffic Alert and Collision Avoidance System (TCAS). There are actually two flavors of TCAS, but I won't go into it since it's rare to find TCAS installed in smaller GA aircraft.
Personal collision avoidance detectors passively listen to transponder replies from other aircraft and, based on signal strength and the altitude encoded in the signal, warn you when an intruder aircraft is nearby. Most of these units let you set the warning envelope - the radius and altitude above and below - so you're not deluged with warnings in a busy airspace. The early versions couldn't tell you where the aircraft was exactly, just that one was near. One newer unit actually gives you the relative location of the traffic. These units are helpful, but remember that if an intruder aircraft doesn't have an operating transponder that is replying to an ATC radar sweep or some other form of transponder interrogation, a PCAS unit won't help you.
TIS depends on ground-based ATC equipment to feed it information about traffic in your area. Not all areas that have radar coverage support TIS, hence the warning you'll hear from many TIS systems: "Traffic unavailable." The Bendix-King systems actually say "TIS not available." Even if TIS is available, there can be interruptions in the uploading of traffic data. In these cases, you'll see a message that indicates a nearby target is in coast mode - it's no longer being observed for some reason. Maybe the pilot of that aircraft turned their transponder off, maybe their transponder has failed, or maybe they just went below radar coverage.
Oh, and the FAA will be phasing out TIS so enjoy it while you can. ADB-S (automatic dependent surveillance-broadcast) is the service that many think will replace TIS and provide even more features and functions. ADB-S has dramatically improved aircraft safety in Alaska, where it was introduced and tested. The skeptic in me suspects that the reason ADB-S has not become widespread is that they haven't figured out how to charge pilots subscriptions fees for this service. For those of us spending hundreds of dollars each year in GPS, terrain, and obstacle database updates, another subscription fee is just what we need.
Active TAS, like the equipment installed in Cirrus aircraft, will actually interrogate transponder-equipped aircraft. This means that you theoretically have traffic detection even when an intruder aircraft is below ATC radar coverage. A couple of years ago, I flew a Cirrus from Texas to California and was fascinated to see a tethered balloon in New Mexico actually show up on the MFD as a target. Seems this balloon is a downward looking radar unit and apparently it has its own transponder, too. I've also seen targets below the Cirrus I was flying come and go on TAS equipment. My guess is that the intruder aircraft's belly-mounted transponder antenna was being shaded.
And if an intruder aircraft has no transponder, then PCAS, TIS, TAS, or TCAS won't be of any use. This was recently illustrated by the mid-air collision of a Hawker jet and a glider at 16,000 feet near Carson City, Nevada.
My first exposure to high-flying gliders as potential collision hazards came when I was flying from the Black Rock Desert (aka Burning Man) to Reno a few years ago. Cruising at 11,500' in a Cessna and talking to Reno approach, the controller called traffic for me that was a primary target only (no transponder) at an unknown altitude. When I called the traffic in sight, ATC asked if I could estimate the glider's altitude. I said it looked to be about 12,000 feet and added that it appeared to be climbing like a stripped monkey.
One of my new pet peeves is how some pilots respond to an ATC traffic advisory.
Norcal: "Cirrus 123, traffic, 12 o'clock, 4 miles, 3000 feet, right to left, is a Diamond Star"What these pilots fail to realize is identifying a target with traffic detection equipment like TIS (Traffic Information System) or TAS (Traffic Advisory System) is not what a controller is concerned with when they issue a traffic advisory. Read Order 7110.65R Air Traffic Control and you'll see that the controller only wants to know whether or not you have the traffic in sight with your eyes. If an aircraft is operating under IFR or in class B airspace, ATC can allow you to maintain visual separation, but again, you must have the other aircraft in sight with your eyes.
Cirrus: "We got him on the fish-finder"
A mistake pilots make when using a traffic detection system is they may be hesitant to react to a target that appears to be a threat. If your traffic detection system warns you of an aircraft that you have not been able to acquire with you eyes, then by all means climb or descend or turn to avoid that target. Except for operations in Class B airspace, ATC will provide traffic advisories on a workload permitting basis. If the controller is busy, there's a lot of aircraft to service, or if the controller is being trained by another controller, they may not warn you of traffic that is near you. Even when you are operating under IFR, you are expected to see and avoid other traffic when you have sufficient visibility to do so. So don't be afraid to take matters into your own hands, if necessary, then tell ATC what you're doing and why.
And don't forget to use your eyes, which are often more effective than the so-called "fish-finder."

Why Activists Are Calling on Carnegie Mellon University and the City of Pittsburgh to Ban Facial Recognition Technology
If you were anywhere near Carnegie Mellon University Sculpture "Walking to the Sky" on Tuesday…
As far back as she can remember Laura Segarra ’22 has always been drawn to space, science and mathematics. She still has her elementary school books with colorful illustrations of the universe. She laughs about almost setting the kitchen on fire in a combustion experiment. And she has vivid memories of being at her grandmother’s farm in upstate New York to catch a glimpse of Halley’s Comet and see the Milky Way.
In elementary school, she did math puzzles for fun. In high school, she tinkered with her own car, curious to know how it worked. And then one day, at the request of a friend, she participated in Upward Bound, a federally-funded educational program (now known as TRiO), hosted at Wilkes University which gave her aid. to prepare for college and the inspiration and guidance she needed to take the next step. . Within a few years, Segarra had earned a bachelor’s degree in aerospace engineering, then an MBA in aviation from Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University and embarked on a career in space exploration that she could only have imagined.
Last week, Segarra – a first-generation student – took the next step in her educational journey by taking the beginning stage to accept a doctorate in industrial engineering, while making history as the recipient of the 400,000e degree that UCF has awarded since classes began in 1968. The total number of degrees awarded includes more than 63,000 master’s degrees and more than 7,000 doctoral degrees.
About 78,000 degrees have been, like Segarra’s, in STEM fields; 75,000 in business; 50,000 in education; 48,000 in engineering, computer science and optics; and 47,000 in health professions, including nursing.
The number and types of degrees awarded correspond to hundreds of thousands of graduates who have unlocked their potential by advancing their careers in critical Central Florida and state industries, fueling economic growth, earning billions of dollars in wages they inject into the economy and by developing the innovations and creative works that propel large-scale prosperity for our region and our state.
“I’m extremely honoured,” Segarra said. “To me, this represents the ever-increasing opportunities for all present and future female engineers. Through UCF and its commitment to diversity, inclusion, and partnership with the academic and industry community, the ability to achieve personal and professional dreams and goals through education is accessible to anyone with the ambition and determination to do so.
Segarra began his career at Kennedy Space Center in 2001, as an engineer working for United Space Alliance, NASA’s prime contractor for the Space Shuttle program. There, she was responsible for the readiness of orbiter airframe structures – ensuring that the structural and interface components of the subsystem were maintained and prepared for manned spaceflight missions. It was hands-on, highly detailed work that included repairs and modifications to the spacecraft.
“I’ve walked almost every inch of the orbiter,” Segarra says.
Two years later, when the space shuttle Columbia disintegrated upon re-entering Earth’s atmosphere, killing all seven astronauts on board, Segarra was asked to be part of the investigative team to help determine the root cause of the accident. She spent months examining the integrity of all repairs and structural modifications to the spacecraft and identifying, cataloging and mapping the more than 82,000 pounds of recovered debris. The team would continue to recommend and implement a series of corrective actions to help get the remaining Space Shuttle fleet back into the air. The tragedy “helped me understand why technical security risk assessment is so important,” Segarra says, and was a powerful reminder of why “it is everyone’s responsibility to make security the top priority.” .
The experience would also prepare her for future roles with NASA, including managing integrated build and launch readiness operations for the Ares IX test flight, then managing ground processing and recovery, including serving as NASA vehicle manager for Space Shuttle Atlantis, the last shuttle in NASA’s fleet to fly in space.
Segarra’s many years in systems engineering and operations would later evolve into a coveted program management role at NASA under the Commercial Crew Program. She served there for the past decade, working with several American companies to achieve the first-ever commercial human spaceflight to the International Space Station and thereby restore the ability to transport humans to and from low Earth orbit to the States. -United. With CCP since its inception, Segarra has been instrumental in initially establishing the program’s organizational structure and strategic goals, and then building partnerships to work closely with commercial vendors to access the space and to guarantee the safety, reliability and profitability of operations. The sixth crewed mission to the International Space Station is scheduled to take place in September 2022.
“During my time at UCF, I found a village of faculty and support staff who taught me to think critically and conduct sound scientific research that will undoubtedly advance the field of management. program.” — Laura Segarra ’22
Segarra received a KSC graduate scholarship to start as a doctoral student at UCF. College was her school of choice because of the flexibility needed while she pursued her professional responsibilities, and her brother and sister-in-law are alumni.
“I knew it was a great school,” Segarra says. “During my time at UCF, I found a village of faculty and support staff who taught me to think critically and conduct sound scientific research that will undoubtedly advance the field of management. of program. I have benefited from working with a panel of knowledgeable experts in technical program management in the public aerospace industry. I have had other opportunities to continue to advance research in this area of study and look forward to applying the knowledge gained during this doctoral trip to my work at NASA and future collaborations for advance theoretical and practical knowledge in this important area. ”
UCF’s ties to NASA run deep. Located just 50 miles from KSC, the university was created in part to meet the needs of the space program. About 30% of KSC employees are alumni. Students complete internships with NASA’s Pathways program. And UCF professors collaborate with NASA on research ranging from exploring new areas of the moon to designing charged “power suits” for electric vehicles and spacecraft.
“NASA and the Kennedy Space Center have benefited from the strong relationship we have built with UCF over the years. This ongoing partnership has been instrumental in helping us build our pool of early career employees and internship program participants. UCF is an exceptional partner in the development of the Artemis generation,” said Mai Miller, NASA Pathways Program Coordinator.
Kelvin Manning ’02MS, deputy director of KSC, was one of the summer 2022 speakers. “You are a graduate of the University of Central Florida, an institution with roots in our nation’s space program, founded to provide a talented people to meet the challenges of space exploration,” said Manning. “Space has always brought hope to many, the promise of a better future. And today, UCF continues to not only look to the stars, but to create superstars like you to provide the talented workforce to serve the world in so many, many capacities.
For Segarra, pursuing his doctorate. was an opportunity for her to fill a knowledge gap in her field. His thesis explored project and program management in the public technical aerospace industry and assessed the systems and practices in place at the Federal Aviation Authority, Department of Defense (DoD), and NASA. The DoD has already incorporated the results of its research into some of its training programs and practices.
“Whatever I do, I have to have a positive impact,” says Segarra, who plans to teach later in his career.

NASA's James Webb Space Telescope launch; here's what next
Opening a new of astronomy, NASA's James Webb Space Telescope was launched by rocket early Saturday from the northeastern coast of South America. The unique Space Telescope promises to provide first glimpse of the universe as it existed when the earliest galaxies formed
The event was telecasted live on a joint NASA-ESA webcast with a countdown conducted in French. "From a tropical rain forest to the edge of time itself, James Webb begins a voyage back to the birth of the universe," a NASA commentator said as the two-stage launch vehicle, fitted with double solid-rocket boosters, roared off its launch pad into cloudy skies.
After a 27-minute, hypersonic ride into space, the 14,000-pound instrument was released from the upper stage of the French-built rocket about 865 miles above the Earth, and should gradually unfurl to nearly the size of a tennis court over the next 13 days as it sails onward on its own.
Live video captured by a camera mounted on the rocket's upper stage showed the Webb gliding gently away after it was jettisoned, drawing cheers and applause from jubilant flight engineers in the mission control center.
Flight controllers confirmed moments later, as the Webb's solar-energy array was deployed, that its power supply was working.
Here is all you need to know:
The Webb telescope will reach its destination in solar orbit 1 million miles from Earth - about four times farther away than the moon. And Webb's special orbital path will keep it in constant alignment with the Earth as the planet and telescope circle the sun in tandem.
Meanwhile, Webb's 30-year-old predecessor, the Hubble Space Telescope, orbits the Earth from 340 miles away, passing in and out of the planet's shadow every 90 minutes.
The telescope is named after man who oversaw NASA through most of its formative decade of the 1960s James Webb.
The telescope is about 100 times more sensitive than Hubble and is expected to transform scientists' understanding of the universe and our place in it.
Webb mainly will view the cosmos in the infrared spectrum, allowing it to gaze through clouds of gas and dust where stars are being born, while Hubble has operated primarily at optical and ultraviolet wavelengths.
That, astronomers say, will bring into view a glimpse of the cosmos never previously seen - dating to just 100 million years after the Big Bang, the theoretical flashpoint that set in motion the expansion of the observable universe an estimated 13.8 billion years ago.

NASA or the National Aeronautics and Space Administration is an American organization established on October 1st, 1958 as a part of the US government. This organization deals with anything related to space and civilian space programs and is the global leader of space exploration and research.
NASA has a diverse workforce of around 18,000 employees working directly under its name. Moreover, NASA also supports almost 312,000 jobs in the United States alone, with an economic yield of $64.3 billion per year.
The science of NASA mostly revolves around the studies related to the Earth (its atmosphere and surrounding), aeronautics and space and objects in outer space. Anything that we are able to learn and study about our solar system and celestial objects is due to the services of NASA.
NASA Space Mission
NASA has launched numerous space shuttles and aircraft in space. The team of scientists at NASA has always conducted research about space for the betterment of mankind.
The internet we use today, the satellite that keeps tracking our everything, is all because of the team of specialists from NASA. The Earth science research program was also established in the 1980s to help study the climate and atmosphere of the planet and have a better understanding of the position of the Earth.
Not only launching a space shuttle into space, but NASA also realized the harmful exhaust gases release that was produced by the rocket propulsion system, was bad for the environment. So they also studied and engineered a way to minimize the potential atmospheric damage their projects can cause.
NASA to Study Jupiter’s Trojan Asteroids
Nowadays, NASA has recently launched the first Space Probe to study Jupiter’s Trojan asteroids. This space probe is named ‘LUCY’. It was launched on Saturday, 16th of October, 2021 at 5:34 a.m. from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida.
What is a Space Probe?
A space probe is an unmanned device that is sent into space to collect information and materials from space and other celestial objects. A space probe is launched with special tools and equipment to study and collect valuable information that can be beneficial for mankind.
A space probe is designed to collect information and directly sent them to the scientists controlling the probe from here on Earth. As there are no astronauts in a probe, the idea of launching a probe in space becomes less of a risk.
First-Ever Space Probe
The first probe that NASA sent into space was Sputnik 1. It was launched on the 4th of October, 1957, by the former Soviet Union. After the success of the first probe, another probe was sent about after four months on 31st of January, 1958, the United States.
This space probe was named Explorer 1. The purpose of these initial probes was just to study the Earth from space and to send information on how does moving in space feels like.
After this, the probes were designed to travel long distances and to travel past the moon and closer to other planets. A probe named Mariner 9 came close to the orbit of Mars in 1971.
It studied the atmosphere of Mars and took pictures of the planet from space. Astonishingly, scientists saw a photo took by Mariner 9 of a large volcano, that can easily be called the largest in the Solar System.
Jupiter’s Trojan Asteroids
Asteroids are rocky objects in space that are found near celestial objects like Sun, Mars, Jupiter. NASA has recently sent a probe to study the Trojan asteroids present in the orbit of Jupiter.
Jupiter’s Trojan Asteroids are massive in size and are found near the orbit of Jupiter. There are over 9,800 known Trojan asteroids linked with Jupiter.
The first Jupiter Trojan asteroid was found in 1906 by German astronomer Max Wolf. The asteroids orbiting Jupiter is named Trojan after the warriors of Greek mythology.

An asteroid around the size of almost 33 armadillos is set to pass by Earth on Sunday, according to NASA's asteroid tracker.
The asteroid in question has been designated 2023 FL2 and was discovered just this year, according to the Center for Near-Earth Object Studies (CNEOS) at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL).
For those wondering how this measurement is being calculated, the metric is the total length of the nine-banded armadillo species of armadillos, including the tail, and not while it is rolled up into a ball.
How big is the asteroid coming toward Earth in 2023?
Asteroid 2023 FL2 is approaching the smaller side, as far as most asteroids go, with NASA estimating its diameter to be as much as 35 meters.
Let's put that astronomical – literally, not figuratively – size in a more down-to-Earth perspective using an adorable armored mammal: The armadillo.
Of the 21 species of armadillo, the most common is the nine-banded armadillo, which can grow to as much as 107 centimeters in length provided it isn't rolled up into a ball.
In other words, asteroid 2023 FL2's diameter is just shy of 33 nine-banded armadillos lined up in a row, tail to snout.
In captivity, these armadillos have weighed as much as 80 kilograms, but undoubtedly a large asteroid is going to be much heavier.
Is an asteroid going to hit Earth in 2023?
Residents of the US South and Central America familiar with the local armadillos may have seen them jump surprisingly high, but these armored animals are in no danger of curling up in the air and then colliding down upon an unsuspecting human with the force of a meteor.
But can the same be said of asteroid 2023 FL2?
According to NASA, this asteroid has no risk of hitting the Earth.
To explain, NASA JPL calculated that this asteroid will pass Earth at a distance of over 4.6 million kilometers. To put this into perspective, the Moon only orbits the Earth at an average of 384,000 kilometers.
So no, it won't hit us, and at its size, it would probably be too severe if it hit the Earth.
For example, some of the previous recent asteroid impacts, such as the Corgi-sized meteor that weighed as much as four baby elephants that crashed in Texas, didn't result in any damage.
This was also true of asteroid 2023 CX1, twice the size of a super bowl trophy, which impacted near Normandy, France.
In fact, armadillos might actually be more dangerous – they are one of the few mammals that are vectors of leprosy.
Do we have any way to stop an asteroid from hitting the Earth?
Thankfully we do.
The field of planetary defense is filled with scientists from all over the world working on efforts to stop asteroid impacts, which are arguably the single most dangerous possible natural disaster.
So far, this field has seen some promising work, the most notable of which being NASA's Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) Mission, which was launched to crash into the faraway asteroid Dimorphous in the Didymous system in order to see if its trajectory would be altered.
To put it simply, they punched an asteroid with a spacecraft to make it move, changing its orbital trajectory. And it worked.
Later, another study confirmed its success and scientists are now certain that humanity is capable of preventing a dangerous asteroid from impacting Earth, provided we have enough time in advance to get this done.
Now, all we need to do is keep planetary defense research rolling – like a curled-up armadillo.

New Technologies: Space-Based Solar Power
In the previous post I mentioned space-based solar power (if you prefer SBSP) as the future of photovoltaic. Does it seem too fictional? DOE (Department of Energy) thinks it's not. The first time space-based solar power was mentioned was in a novel of Isaac Asimov. Now it has become a possible alternative for the future.
Let's hear what DOE has to say: every hour, more solar energy reaches the Earth than humans use in an entire year and 30% of energy is reflected back into space. Solar panels collect a high intensity uninterrupted solar radiation, thanks to huge mirrors they reflect it to the satellite that transform it into energy and then send it to the Earth as either a microwave or a laser beam.
Obviously in space there aren't cloud and day and night, so space solar panels are able to capture and transmit substantially more solar energy than solar panels on Earth.
SBSP presents more options: the two most commonly discussed designs for SBSP are a large, deeper space microwave transmitting satellite and a smaller, nearer laser transmitting satellite.
Microwave transmitting satellites
Microwave transmitting satellites orbit Earth in geostationary orbit (GEO), about 35,000 km above Earth’s surface. Designs for microwave transmitting satellites are massive, with solar reflectors spanning up to 3 km and weighing over 80,000 metric tons.
The long wavelength of the microwave requires a long antenna, and allows power to be beamed through the Earth’s atmosphere, rain or shine, at safe, low intensity levels hardly stronger than the midday sun.
The estimated cost of launching, assembling and operating a microwave-equipped GEO satellite is in the tens of billions of dollars. High price but it worth it. On Earth, the rectenna used for collecting the microwave beam would be anywhere between 3 and 10 km in diameter, a huge area of land, and a challenge to purchase and develop.
Laser Transmitting Satellites
Laser transmitting satellites orbit in low Earth orbit (LEO) at about 400 km above the Earth’s surface. This satellite, with its 10 metric tons, is just a fraction of microwave one and is cheaper too; a laser-equipped SBSP satellite would cost nearly $500 million to launch and operate. It would be possible to launch the entire self-assembling satellite in a single rocket, drastically reducing the cost and time to production.
At its smaller size, there is a correspondingly lower capacity of about 1 to 10 megawatts per satellite. Therefore, this satellite would be best as part of a fleet of similar satellites, used together.
A huge cost, a huge work and it seems an impossible and useless project, someone would say. It's true: a lot of money and work but fifty years ago who would have thought that today 20% of global energy comes from the Sun, the wind and the water? If we continue to repeat that something it's impossible we'll never reach our targets so we have to believe and to support these ideas that can become real facts that will improve our world.

Watch for Meteor Shower in West Michigan Tonight
The Lyrid meteor shower peaked early Tuesday morning, but some had too many clouds to get a good look.
Clear skies are expected tonight in West Michigan, which will give us another opportunity to see the meteor shower while it's still going strong.
Even with clear skies, the Lyrid meteor shower is a little more difficult to see this year.
The meteor shower has to compete with a bright moon in the night sky.
In some years, the Lyrids produce as many as 20 meteors per hour at their peak. There's "no way we'll be seeing that many this year. Still, even one bright meteor streaking along in a moonlit sky can be beautiful," [Deborah] Byrd [of EarthSky.org] says.
The moon "will spoil a lot of the show. So I would not set high expectations," says Bill Cooke, who directs NASA's Meteoroid Environment Office at Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Ala.
Seems appropriate to have some natural fireworks as we celebrate Earth Day.

Hidden Hollow 2012
NASA Touring Exhibit
The NASA Glenn Research Center is bringing the excitement of aeronautics and space exploration to Hidden Hollow 2012 with a traveling exhibit!
NASA Glenn is responsible for NASA outreach programs and events in Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, Minnesota and Wisconsin. NASA exhibits provide unique insights into the past, present and future of air and space travel. For some events, members of their Speakers Bureau and other NASA employees may be present to staff the exhibit and interact with guests. However, at this time we're not sure of what exhibit we will get or if they will provide a representative. Please check back in the future!
What we do know at the moment is that NASA Glenn's Community and Media Relations Office and Visitor Center provide a variety of traveling exhibits, including the following:
We're very excited to offer this new dimension to our annual Hidden Hollow Star Party! We're hoping it's very inspirational to our guests to have a unique feature where you can relax and enjoy the exhibit at your own pace in your own time. We hope you are also excited and plan on visiting this great feature!
- Panel exhibits
- Scale models
- Interactive/instructional demonstrators
- Spaceflight accessories
- Journey to Tomorrow
- Solar System Walk
We are sorry to announce that due to the huge size of the NASA Tour Bus (a semi-trailer) and the huge expense of getting it here and insuring it, we are not going to be able to have the large exhibit. However! Do not count NASA out. We have requested a smaller exhibit and also have a request in for a NASA Glenn guest speaker. We are confident that they won't let us down. Stay tuned and we'll update you as soon as we find out more.
And NASA certainly did not disappoint us. We'd like to welcome Dr. David Ellis as a guest speaker!
Dr. Ellis has worked since 1989 developing various high conductivity materials, primarily copper-based alloys and composites. He has contributed to the National Aerospace Plane, SP-100 space power, Generic Hypersonics and Reusable Launch Vehicle Second and Third Generation programs. He was the primary developer of GRCop-84 (?G R Cop eighty-four?), the first new alloy to be developed for rocket engine main combustion chambers in 40 years, and its successor, GRCop-84Z. He has also contributed to development of graphite and multiwall carbon nanotube reinforced copper matrix metal composites for engine applications and space-based radiator systems.
Under the Reusable Launch Vehicle Second Generation Program Dr Ellis led a team comprised of NASA, commercial vendors and end users and academia responsible for scaling up the production of GRCop-84 to a commercially usable scale. The effort was successful, and the rocket engine companies view GRCop-84 as a desirable material for future reusable rocket engines.
Dr. Ellis has also worked on superalloys for jet engine disks under the Enabling Propulsion Materials program, a co-operative effort between NASA, Pratt & Whitney and General Electric. He was part of a team that developed the first new disk material to enter use in commercial and military aircraft engines in over 10 years. Currently Dr. Ellis is working on heat rejection systems for the fission power systems. He is working on the heat rejection team for the Technology Demonstration Unit, a concept test bed using full-scale components for a 40 kW electric power generation system. This unit will undergo extensive testing at NASA GRC beginning in 2013.
Dr. Ellis is author or co-author of over 45 technical papers and will be giving us a program on the International Space Station! Please make him feel welcome...

A federal investigator has said that one person died after a plane with engine failure made an emergency landing in Philadelphia.
National Transportation Safety Board Chairman Robert Sumwalt said that the engine will be shipped for a detailed examination.
The Federal Aviation Administration says the flight from New York to Dallas made an emergency landing after the crew reported damage to one of the engines, as well as the fuselage and at least one window.
Philadelphia’s fire chief says that one person was taken to the hospital in critical condition and seven were treated for minor injuries.

The case discusses how UK-based aero engine manufacturer Rolls-Royce plc (Rolls-Royce) transformed itself from a product/technology company into a company offering aftermarket services. Rolls-Royce pioneered power-by-hour support in the aviation market. Under this concept, the customers paid a fixed maintenance fee for each aircraft flight hour (only for the time during which the aero engine was running). The company also offered different service packages for different customers. The after-sales services provided by Roll-Royce helped its customers reduce maintenance costs and downtime. They also enabled the company to improve its aero engine designs and build a good relationship with customers. Moreover, the company gained a steady long-term revenue stream from the maintenance contracts. Analysts felt that the service strategy adopted by the company strengthened its position considerably in the highly volatile aerospace industry. For the year 2017, Rolls-Royce’s services revenues of £4.2 billion accounted for 53 percent of its total revenues. While Rolls-Royce made more money out of its aftermarket services, it started facing problems in 2016 when some of its prominent customers complained that the turbine blades inside the engines installed by Rolls-Royce were corroding faster than expected...
PayPal (9 USD)
The case is structured to achieve the following teaching objectives:
Understand the dynamics of aftermarket supply.
Analyze Rolls-Royce’s focus on customer service and aftermarket service as a steady source of revenue and a source of differentiation.
Identify the advantages and challenges of being heavily dependent on aftermarket services to drive sales and earn additional revenues.

Namest nad Oslavou, South Moravia, Aug 21 (CTK) – Up to 1300 soldiers from 18 allied and partner countries are to participate in the three-week Ample Strike 2017 exercise that starts on Wednesday, August 23, its spokeswoman Denisa Vernerova told CTK on Monday.
The exercise will focus on the cooperation of forward air controllers, aircraft crews and commanders of ground forces. It will be held for the fourth time now.
Ample Strike follows the series of Ramstein Rover and Flying Rhino exercises that were organised on the NATO level from 2002, Vernerova said.
The pilots will train in-flight refuelling and getting over enemy’s air defence. The Czech military will test its capability to provide logistic support to foreign troops within the exercise.
The main part of the training will be held from August 28 to September 8. Czech troops and reserve troops and nearly 300 foreign soldiers will take part in it.
The exercise will take place in the military grounds of Boletice and Libava, at the Namest and Caslav air bases, the Sedlec helicopter base, the Pardubice military airport and the sapper base in Bechyne.
Czech L-159 ALCA planes, Mi- helicopters and Gripen fighter jets as well as Lithuanian L-39 aircraft, German Pilatus PC-9s, LearJets and Tornados, Polish Sukhoi Su-22s, Hungarian Gripens and Slovenian PC-9s will be part of the exercise.
The U.S. military confirmed that a AH-64 Apache helicopter and B-1B and B-52 strategic bombers would join the exercise, Vernerova said. Two Boeing KC-135 Stratotankers will make aerial refueling possible.

General Electric G90
A recent announcement:
It is nice to see positive announcements like the above. Manufacturing jet engines is a sophisticated process. The newest GE Aviation facility in Muskegon (Johnson Technologies – a wholly owned subsidiary of GE) produces two small parts….high pressure turbine nozzles and shrouds for the GE90 engine.
I would guess also that the turbine airfoils come from Arconic (formerly Alcoa Howmet) in Whitehall, MI. All the parts come together at various GE assembly plants to complete the engine. One of those assembly plants is in the RTP area….it’s a small world….parts made in Muskegon and Whitehall, Mi come together in an assembly plant a few miles from Cary, NC.

China launched it’s Shenzhou-10 rocket into orbit with three astronauts or “Taikonauts” on board to dock with their Chinese-owned module called Tiangong-1. Currently China and Russia are the only nations capable of this. The United states has not been able to send men into space since the retirement of the Space Shuttle. Honestly this is a very depressing state of affairs for anyone who is a fan of NASA. In the 1960 President Kennedy inspired the nation when he stated America would place a man on the moon within the decade. President Obama inspired the nation when he inspired the nation sating we would place a man in orbit within four years…(Sarcasm intended).
Of course the U.S. is on the fast track to have the modern equivalent of the heavy lift Saturn V rocket ready to go to the Moon at a breakneck pace, by 2030…(Sarcasm intended again). America is not at a stand still with respect to manned space, but it is certainly working at a snails pace. Yes I am officially whining. NASA has had some real successes like the Mars Curiosity Rover, but the U.S. is living on the successes of the past.
Enough about the ineptitude of U.S. leadership and commitment to the manned space program. Hats off to China for their success, at least mankind can look to them and Russia when the want to be motivated by programs that are making progress in manned space. Wu Pung, spokesman for the China Manned Space program, said at a press conference Monday they are going to spend 15 days in orbit, practicing rendezvous, docking techniques, testing technologies needed for long-term human habitation in space and conduct science experiments.
China is not overly forthcoming with details about long term their plans for the future but you have to believe that they are starting to make some major strides. They have stated that the Moon is a goal. At some point they may well wake up the world with a program that is indeed making progress and could wind up as the leader in manned space.

Des Plaines, Illinois - UOP LLC, a Honeywell company, announced today that Honeywell Green Jet Fuel produced from its UOP Renewable Jet Fuel process will power 200 commercial flights on GOL Airlines during the 2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil.
GOL Airlines, the official airline of the Brazil soccer team, will use Honeywell Green Jet Fuel for flights carrying the team to cities across Brazil that are hosting World Cup matches.
The Honeywell Green Jet Fuel was made from inedible corn oil and used cooking oil. Each flight will use a blend of Honeywell Green Jet Fuel with petroleum-based jet fuel. UOP supplied nearly 92,000 liters of Honeywell Green Jet Fuel for the flights. Compared with petroleum-based jet fuel, this renewable fuel will reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 185 metric tons of CO2 over the course of the event based on life cycle analysis.
"Honeywell Green Jet Fuel offers lower emissions than traditional petroleum-derived jet fuel and can be made from a variety of non-edible feedstocks, providing a flexible, renewable solution to meeting the current and future needs of Latin America and elsewhere," said Veronica May, vice president and general manager of UOP's Renewable Energy and Chemicals business unit. "We are pleased to continue our presence in Latin America and help meet the region's growing need for sustainable energy solutions."
Blended up to 50 percent with petroleum-based jet fuel, Honeywell Green Jet Fuel requires no changes to aircraft technology, meets all critical specifications for flight, and can reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 65 to 85 percent compared with petroleum-based fuels.
Together, Brazil and the United States account for 70 percent of the world's total consumption of biofuels, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration, and Brazil is the world's second-largest biofuel producer.
The first fully commercial production of renewable jet fuel in the U.S. is expected to start up this year and produce approximately 30 million gallons of Honeywell Green Diesel™ and Honeywell Green Jet Fuel per year. AltAir Fuels will produce low-carbon, renewable jet fuel and other renewable products using UOP's Renewable Jet Fuel Process with the flexibility to adjust the product mix between diesel and jet fuel to meet market demands. United Airlines will purchase 15 million gallons of this fuel over a three-year period, with the option to purchase more. The AltAir facility will be the first refinery in the world designed to continuously produce both renewable jet and diesel fuels.
In 2012, Honeywell Green Jet Fuel powered flights to the Rio+20 United Nations Conference in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, which brought together world leaders, governments and other participants to discuss worldwide sustainable development.
In 2011, UOP opened a new office in Rio de Janeiro to better serve the growing oil and natural gas sector in Latin America. The office employs technical experts to provide project development, engineering services and support for UOP process technology, catalysts, adsorbents and specialty equipment, as well as for Honeywell Process Solutions' automation control solutions.
The UOP Renewable Jet Fuel Process technology was developed in 2007 under a contract from the U.S. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) to produce renewable military jet fuel for the U.S. military. The process technology is fully compatible with existing hydroprocessing technology commonly used in today's refineries to produce transportation fuels.
GOL's aircraft feature a wide range of Honeywell Aerospace technology, including its auxiliary power unit and avionics suite. Brazil is the first South American country to install Honeywell's SmartPath® Ground Based Augmentation System (GBAS), which can increase airport capacity, decrease air traffic noise and reduce weather-related delays. SmartPath was the first GBAS to receive the Federal Aviation Administration's System Design Approval.

Designer and inventor Rick Hamel developed and assembled his own flying dragon – a giant winged reptile model. In fact, an unusual model as a test case was created by Rick two years ago, but then, because of some technical difficulties publicity gimmick did not get the question, its commercial application did not go. Over the past two years flying dragon model has greatly improved.
Dragon model has a wingspan of 2.7 meters. Given the size of the wings, it is easy to guess that this model is very, very big. In fact, dragon Rica – this is hardly the small plane. Works dragon jet turbine which is mounted in the casing between the wings. She works at an aircraft engine which powered the proper fuel or kerosene.
Dragon made of plastic, plywood and places – aluminum. Important part of the aircraft is also the fact that it is fully radio controlled. Dragon flies as well as it makes the plane. Turbine provides movement through the air at up to 110 km h and reserve enough fuel for 10 minutes. From the mouth of the dragon team can blaze a real flame.
The cost of this decorative aircraft 60,000 U.S. dollars. Based on this, it is worth noting that if the buyer can afford to “dragon” Rick, the problems with refueling every 10 minutes it will not. Sale dragon already assembled, but if necessary, the happy owner with a standard set of tools can remove the wings and some other items for easy transport unit over long distances. Included in 60000 also has detailed instructions, bullets control, batteries and some rare spare parts.

The supply of space stations that entered orbit in Virginia on Saturday showed a second line in two days.
Another commercial delivery will take place in two to three weeks.
"What is an outstanding launch," said Joel Montalbano, NASA's space station program manager.
Northrop Grumman fired Antares rockets from Wallops Island before dawn to delight the early birdwatchers on the Atlantic coast. The International Space Station (IAEA) launched its own supply to the International Space Station soon.
US delivery is scheduled to arrive at a laboratory in orbit the day after the Russian shipment. Among the £ 7,400 items in the Cygnus capsule are ice cream for three space station residents and a 3D printer that recycles fresh fruit and old plastic into new parts.
Thanksgiving turkey dinner – of course rehydratable – is already riding on a 250-mile high outpost. The space station is now home to the United States, Germany and Russia.
There is another big incident happening. The space station entered Tuesday's 20th anniversary. The first section started on November 20, 1998 in Kazakhstan.
When Montalbano celebrated the International Space Station for 20 years, "one of the coolest things is that we work together all over the world." Then there is a US commercial effort to stockpile the space station, resuming crew firing at Cape Canaveral. "I've had great success," he said.
This Cygnus (or Swan) was invited to celebrate the legendary astronaut who commanded the first space shuttle flight to the Moon. He was named John Young. He died in January.
It is the first commercial freighter to be named after Northrop Grumman. Northrop Grumman acquired Orbital ATK in June. SpaceX is NASA's other commercial shipper for space agencies. The Dragon Capsule is scheduled to take off in early December.
Experiments arriving through Cygnus observe how the cement solidifies under zero gravity. There are medical, space suits and other equipment to replace items that failed to orbit last month due to Russian rocket failure. The two men on the rocket survived the emergency landing. Three other astronauts will be launched on December 3 in Kazakhstan.

I recently purchased a 3DR Solo for aerial photography. I am not a professional photographer and the intent was that the drone would be purely recreational and non-commercial. Trying to find clarity on the rules and regulations has proven to be difficult, confusing, and contradictory to say the least. The media doesn’t help where discussions on local bylaws and rules lump “drones” into one big discussion. It’s no wonder people are just ignoring the rules and doing what they want.
Now commercial use I understand, especially where you may be flying in more populated areas or around building or structures. The rules in this regard seem to be clearly outlined, licensing seems straight forward, many companies offer liability insurance for commercial use so insurance shouldn’t be an issue. Anyone who ignores these rules deserves the fines and legal headaches that come with it. If you want to ignore the clearance rules and operate in a professional manner than follow the rules, get licenses, get insured, file a SFOC (special flight operations certificate) and do it the right way. You wouldn’t drive a vehicle without ensuring it’s maintained properly, you stayed on the road, had a license, and maintained your insurance. Do the same with your UAV.
The confusion starts when you’re not a commercial operator. What exactly are the rules for a recreational user, $1,000/year insurance is unrealistic, understanding exemptions, taking license courses, all too much for a recreational user.
I’ve contacted two insurance companies in Alberta that I’m associated with TD Meloche Monnex and AMA Insurance. Neither of them offers personal liability insurance for personal drone use. Why, I’m not sure. If you follow the rules the odds are extremely low that anything could happen, and if you did break the law the insurance would be voided. I think flying a kite may be more dangerous. I’ve contacted two insurance brokers in the hopes that they could help but so far no answers. I have heard that Intact may offer this as part of their homeowners insurance package but I haven’t had this confirmed yet. If anyone knows of companies covering individuals for personal use please post it in the comments.
Transport Canada Advisory Circular 600-002 defines some key points with the main point of clarity being what is a Model Aircraft and what is a UAV (recreational vs non-recreational use).
[testimonial author=”Transport Canada”]2.4 Definitions
The following definitions are used in this document:
- Model Aircraft – means an aircraft with a total weight not exceeding 35 kg (77 lbs) that is mechanically driven or launched into flight for recreational purposes and that is not designed to carry persons or other living creatures.
- Maximum Take-off Weight –means the weight of the aircraft at the time of the operation, including the weight of any payload (e.g. a camera) and fuel.
- Unmanned Air Vehicle – means a power-driven aircraft, other than a model aircraft, that is designed to fly without a human operator onboard
- Greater numbers of people in Canada are flying aircraft that, by design, are flown without a pilot on board and controlled through devices such as a remote control, tablet, smart phone, etc.
- For everyone’s safety, aviation is governed by strict rules similar to when operating a car or a boat.
- While UAV systems are legitimate airspace users, they must integrate into Canada’s national airspace in a safe manner. This will ensure the safety of other airspace users and people and property on the ground.
- To determine what type of aircraft you are operating , and if the guidance that applies to you, use the definitions above and the information below:
A model aircraft has no pilot onboard and is used by hobbyists for recreational purposes. If your aircraft and planned operation meets this category refer to section 4.0 for more details,
A UAV system is used for non-recreational and commercial purposes and is controlled remotely, either directly or through onboard computers. If your aircraft and operation meets this category, refer to section 5.0 for more information. [/testimonial]
So according to this Transport Canada definition of a UAV is non recreational and commercial. So would it be safe to assume that any references to a UAV are strictly non recreational and commercial applications. Recreational users are would follow the model aircraft rules and regulations? Where this get’s important is insurance. Commercial insurance is expensive, generally in the $1,000/year range. I’m finding it difficult to find liability coverage for recreational users. The Transport Canada rules specifically state the you must have insurance with you at all times. However, is this only applicable for UAV and model aircraft users are exempt from this requirement?
This is where it get’s confusing.
The model aircraft section makes no reference to insurance and the safety areas contradict the general drone information provided by Transport Canada
[testimonial author=”Model Aircraft”]4.0 MODEL AIRCRAFT
- Model aircraft are excluded from the vast majority of Canadian Aviation Regulations (CARs) that are applied to other aircraft. However, for a large model aircraft with a maximum take-off weight of over 35 kg (77 lbs), you require a special flight operations certificate (SFOC) to operate as described in section 5.0 below.
- If your aircraft has a maximum take-off weight of less than 35 kg (77 lbs) and is used for purposes other than recreation, it is not considered a model aircraft. It is a UAV system and again is subject to section 5.0 and requires an SFOC.
- You should use your model aircraft for recreational purposes only (e.g. hobby and personal enjoyment). If you are using it for other purposes (i.e. flight training, inspection or academia purposes, etc), section 5.0 below is applicable as is the requirement for an SFOC.
- For model aircraft weighing less than 35 kg (77 lbs) and used for recreational purposes, the best practices in section 4.2 below provides guidance for the safe operation of your model aircraft.
- The Model Aeronautics Association of Canada (MAAC) represents 12,000 members and is the preeminent national body for model aviation in Canada. The MAAC supports and promotes recreational and competitive model flying, both locally and internationally and works with all levels of government.
- The regulations regarding model aircraft are clear:
- No person shall fly a model aircraft or a kite or launch a model rocket or a rocket of a type used in a fireworks display into cloud or in a manner that is or is likely to be hazardous to aviation safety (Canadian Aviation Regulations, Section 602.45).
4.2. Safety Considerations for Model Aircraft
- Before your Flight
- Inspect that your model aircraft is ready for flight.
- This means that the aircraft, control station components (hardware, software and firmware) and control links are in a fit for flight condition.
- Seek permission from the property owner on which you intend to operate your model aircraft
- Know the classification of the airspace you want to fly in. It would be inappropriate and unsafe for you to operate in airspace with heavy aircraft traffic, such as around airports.
- Confirm that there is no radio frequency interference (from a nearby radar site for example) that will interfere with the control of your aircraft.
- Have an emergency plan just in case.
- This means know the people and equipment available that could help you respond to an incident, accident, medical emergency, you have a fly-away or if your model aircraft becomes uncontrollable.
- During your Flight
- Operate the aircraft safely.
- Always be able to see the aircraft with your own eyes. This means that you should not use an on-board camera, first person view device or other similar devices.
- Always give way to manned aircraft (e.g. hot air balloons, gliders, ultra-light aeroplanes including powered parachutes, aeroplanes and helicopters).
- Fly only during daylight and in good weather (e.g. not in clouds or fog).
- Avoid restricted airspace (e.g. forest fire areas, prisons or military airspace)
- Remain at least 9 km (5 nautical miles) from any aerodromes and heliports.
- Maintain below a safe altitude (300 feet (90 metres)) and a safe horizontal distance (minimum 100 feet (30 metres)) from people, structures or buildings.
- Do not fly in populated areas or overfly assemblies of people (e.g. sporting events, concerts, etc).
- Do not fly where or when you could interfere with any first responders (fire department, police, etc) as they conduct their duties.
- Respect the privacy of others.
- Do not operate with any dangerous goods or lasers on the aircraft.
4.3. Penalties for Model Aircraft
- Violations of the model aircraft regulation are handled by the courts or judicial action. Endangering the safety of aircraft is a serious offence under the Aeronautics Act and is punishable by a fine.
- The Criminal Code of Canada describes several offences involving the dangerous operation of aircraft and endangering the safety of other aircraft. Committing such offences is punishable by monetary penalties and/or jail time including imprisonment for life.
- Other penalties may apply against other regulations outlined in section 2.0.[/testimonial]
So this circular defines one set of rules. However Circular 600-004 starts to define things further and in some ways contradicts the above. Originally I was under the impression that as a recreational user of a drone less the 2kg I would follow EXEMPTION FROM SECTIONS 602.41 AND 603.66 OF THE CANADIAN AVIATION REGULATIONS Now this exemption clearly states that it does NOT apply to model aircraft. We’ve determined from the above circular that Model Aircraft is the name for recreational users.
This exemption appliess to any person conducting UAV system operations within Canadian Domestic Airspace utilizing UAVs with a maximum take-off weight not exceeding 2 kilograms within visual line-of-sight.
This exemption does not apply to:
- Operations of model aircraft;
- Operations of an Autonomous UAV; or
- Operations by a foreign UAV operator.
I would therefore assume that as a recreational users none of the conditions outlined in EXEMPTION FROM SECTIONS 602.41 AND 603.66 OF THE CANADIAN AVIATION REGULATIONS would be applicable including insurance??
Drone Safety Information click on the link. Assuming insurance isn’t required the only new wrinkle is the clearance from people. Where as 30 meters was the original dimension, the current information (see below) requires 150m (5x) the original number.
So this is what I think this all means.
Recreational non commercial use is governed by the rules and regulations for model aircraft, which basically imposes no insurance requirements, no licensing, and no SFOC requirements if you fly within the restrictions outlined. Don’t fly around fireworks, airports and large crowds and respect the clearance dimensions of 150m and 30 meter flying height. This also means that your recreational drone is NOT a UAV so the rules and exemptions do not apply. Basically use common sense, and follow the guidelines in the graphic above. I have no idea if this is correct or not and I guess that’s the problem. No clear definition for recreational users.
If someone finds different information please share.

MANILA, Oct 28 (Mabuhay) — Philippine Army (PA) commander Lt. Gen. Romeo Brawner Jr. said he wants more modern helicopters like the S-70i “Black Hawk” combat utility helicopter, now flown by the Air Force, to beef up the service’s Aviation Regiment.
Speaking to reporters, Brawner said the PA is prioritizing the acquisition of “Black Hawk” combat utility helicopters and multi-role fixed-wing aircraft as these can be used for airborne training and disaster relief missions.
“Pwede nating gamitin to transport mga relief goods sa mga areas na nangangailangan into (We can use these aircraft to transport relief goods in areas that badly need it),” he said on the sidelines of the ceremonial turnover of the Bolkow-Blohm Bo-105 helicopter to the PA by Dornier Technologies Inc. at Fort Magsaysay, Nueva Ecija on Wednesday.
However, Brawner admitted that the PA funding to acquire more aircraft for next year was not approved by Congress.
“Unfortunately, it was not approved by Congress so what we are going to do is to include the purchase of the aircraft for the PA under our modernization program,” he added.
To date, the Army Aviation Regiment is known to operate around six helicopters and fixed-wing aircraft. (MNS)

(WHTM) — Senator Bob Casey introduced new legislation that aims to stop airplane hijackings and honors a Pennsylvania native killed on Sept. 11, 2001.
The Saracini Enhanced Aviation Safety Act (S.911), a modified version of Casey’s 2018 Saracini Aviation Act that required all new planes purchased in the United States to have an additional barrier between the passenger cabin and the cockpit, would extend that requirement to all planes in the country, not just newly purchased ones.
The legislation is named after Captain Victor Saracini, a Bucks County resident who was the pilot of United Flight 175 before it was hijacked and flown into the World Trade Center.
“We have more work to do to make air travel safer for pilots, passengers, and crew members,” said Casey. “The Saracini Enhanced Aviation Safety Act will prevent future attacks by bolstering cockpit protections in all passenger planes. I will continue working alongside Ellen Saracini to honor Captain Saracini by keeping airline passengers and pilots safe in our skies.”
A study done by the Federal Aviation Administration shows that secondary barriers “significantly decrease the threat of hijackings.”

The limitations of mechanical pressure and flow regulation as used in heritage spacecraft propulsion systems, have had to be accepted together with their inherent limited capabilities simply due to the fact that fully proportional control has, until this point, not been technically possible. The Nammo Electronic Pressure Regulator system developed under this keystone ARTES 5.1 programme has enabled a step change to provide infinitely variable flow and pressure regulation at competitive cost to all spacecraft propulsion systems.
The EuroSMG project consists of the design, manufacture, testing and qualification of an ITAR-free European Stepper Motor Gearbox (SMG). The EuroSMG contains no off-the-shelf sub-assemblies and is a full concept to qualification programme. The EuroSMG is designed to meet the requirements of a Solar Array Drive Mechanism (SADM) for the GEO Telecom Satellite market.
Project LightBar develops a communications-enabled lightbar that provides seamless hybrid communications for extended coverage, data reach and performance capability for emergency services and civil markets such as construction and utilities. The enhanced lightbar design is lightweight, low cost, low profile, small form factor and modular with a flexible design that provides: hybrid connectivity, satellite and cellular bonding, and resilient positioning.
SDR Makerspace is an initiative of the European Space Agency and Libre Space Foundation bringing together makers, open-source hackers, radio amateurs, researchers, from all over Greece and provide funding, resources, and a passionate community tackling together challenges in using Software Defined Radio for space communications, opening up space communications development to a wide variety of people, organizations and companies.
The EPJT project develops modular technologies for cost efficient space propulsion mechanism. Key-elements are a light and robust geared actuator, high-load carrying ball joints, a modular harness routing system across the mechanism.
Astro- und Feinwerktechnik Adlershof GmbH intendeds to enter new markets with its new state-of-the-art High Momentum Wheel RW6000. The smart reaction wheel provides a 100 Nms momentum capacity and an output torque of 0.2 Nm. Furthermore, it offers a digital interface with an embedded closed loop controller for higher accuracy and torque stability.
The development and testing of a prototype of an analog IF over digital IF acquisition/generation demonstrator for instantaneous signal bandwidth up to 5GHz, together with a set of data compression techniques to minimize the digital data rate required to transmit a given analog IF bandwidth over a terrestrial network, optimized for a selected couple of scenarios.
In this program, two replacement subunits of the LCT were developed and qualified. The units are the Fame Unit Structure (FUS) and the Telescope Unit (TLU). These units replace previous units and have to comply with the existing LCT design. This development took into account experience gained from the previous designs and handling to achieve a robust design and decrease overall cost of LCT while maintaining the known performance requirements.
TLU and FUS have significant influence on the LCT mechanical design. Therefore, a LCT mechanical demonstrator (LMD) was built to qualify the required mechanical loads.
The project MLSAT investigates the applicability of machine learning or in general, artificial intelligence techniques in the context of satellite communications. Potential machine learning (ML) use cases in the field of satellite communications are identified and proof-of-concepts (PoC) are demonstrated for selected scenarios.
Since satellite operators aim for more bandwidth to increase data throughput and capacity new system and payload concepts are required, leading also to the demand for new equipment. One promising option to increase capacity for HTS systems is moving the feeder link from Ka-band to Q/V-band. The focus of this activity targets the development of Q-band linearisers.
On-board handling of higher-layer protocols via an ad-hoc router device makes it possible to provide satellite connectivity completely by-passing the (possibly) clogged/compromised terrestrial infrastructure, to facilitate IP mobility, to reduce traffic load on satellite uplinks by deploying IP multicasting on board the satellite, and to provide true packet-by-packet end-to-end connectivity between satellite terminals in meshed configuration or ISL environment.
Low-Earth-orbit (LEO) satellites are flying in an altitude between 200km and 2000km above Earth and hence are limited in the amount of time they are visible to a ground station (typically around 20 minutes). This is limiting the amount of data that can be exchanged. However if the data is relayed to a geosynchronous-Earth-orbit (GEO) satellite, the available LEO satellite data transmission time (and amount of data) can be drastically increased.
This project covers the design and the development of the link and network layer mechanisms required to support end-to-end unicast data connectivity over inter-satellite links in small satellite constellation networks. SPIDER stands for Small Platform Inter-satellite Data Exchange Routes, being an obvious reference to the spider’s ability to create webs, which is precisely the purpose of this project.
Mx-SAT is a C&G Technology project that covers research tracks on efficiency and scalability improvements for the Newtec Dialog® system containing the platform and terminals. The Newtec Dialog® platform is a multiservice satellite communications platform that allows satellite service providers to build and adapt their network easily as their business grows.
SatNEx IV activities aim to study medium/long term directions of satellite telecommunication systems for any of the commercial or institutional applications that can be considered appealing by key players but still not mature enough for attracting industry or initiating dedicated ESA R&D activities.
This technology phase study aims to develop the Thales Alenia Space generic and highly competitive avionics product for future satellite platforms. It includes OBC-core unit with the rad-hard technologies NG-ULTRA that embeds a R52 quad-core ARM-based MPSoC and the largest space FPGA.
The OBC-core constitutes, together with the modular Avionics Centralized Electronics and High Power Unit, the backbone of Thales Alenia Space future avionics.
VIBeS project addressed the design, prototyping and validation of Virtual PEP agents to efficiently support the satellite-terrestrial convergence in upcoming 5G scenarios. The proposed approach leverages both NFV technology and cutting-edge web protocols. To assess the proposed solutions, a highly configurable Proof-of-Concept testbed was developed and tailored for the experimentation of broadband services aligned with 5G use-cases and verticals.
The Airbus Next Generation Solar Array (NGSA) is based on a hybrid solar array concept which combines rigid backbone panels with lightweight semi-rigid lateral panels. This ARTES 5.2 project covers the low TRL development activities for the main components of the new Solar Array layout, such as mechanical components to accommodate and release the semi-rigid substrates, semi-rigid PVA design, system level design and analyses as well as the design and engineering testing of the panel stack.
In HENCSAT we have developed a novel concept based on bit-torrent and network coding technologies that provides more resilient networking that can be loaded closer to its full capacity.
HENCSAT empowered the study and testing of robust and powerful networking over heterogeneous satellite and radio links in potentially difficult mobile scenarios where packet loss and interruptions may occur. By applying Network Coding in combination with novel resource management significant improvements can be obtained over traditional approaches. Application areas include aerial, vehicular and maritime users with sources like photos, video and other critical data. The focus was specifically on video over multiple networks.
The mission of RHEA Cyber Security Centre of Excellence is to develop supporting technologies enabling agile and effective cyber-security services, including education and training, operations, research, experimentation, test & evaluation, supporting the needs of the European space community as well as the wider aerospace, humanitarian, critical infrastructure, and defence & security communities.
Thales Alenia Space is a major player in the LEO, MEO, HEO GEO, L2 or interplanetary satellite industry and has therefore a large background in systems and subsystems definition.
In particular, Thales Alenia Space is developing a new product line of geostationary telecommunication satellites, Spacebus NEO, more and more powerful where harness accommodation is already challenging.
The study of a new harness architecture based on a large flexible printed circuit board, associated connectors, intelligent connectors integrating multiplexing and demultiplexing functions will ease the harness accommodation for telecommunications payloads.
The project consists in advanced activities paving the way to NewSpace equipment, intended to cover the platform needs in terms of electronics. The key success factors are a drastic reduction of recurrent price and mass of the equipment based on three pillars : integration & standardization, low cost components and innovative technologies.
Design, development and demonstration of innovative gateway and user terminal prototypes enabling a vast variety of Internet of Things (IoT) use cases and able to efficiently provide bi-directional Machine-to-Machine (M2M) services in GEO and non-GEO scenarios for both fixed and mobile applications.

Private jets are an impressive luxury by their very nature, but even in this lavish industry some aircraft are a step above. The most expensive private jets weren’t designed as private jets at all — instead, they were customized by businesses or individuals to create a space rivaling a luxury hotel. Whether it’s 24-karat gold bathrooms or an onboard horse stable, these aircraft go beyond luxury. Below are the five most expensive private jets.
President Donald Trump’s Boeing 757-200 — $100 million
The Boeing 757 is a midsize airliner known to pilots as “the Ferrari of commercial jets.” Despite being a commercial aircraft, a Boeing 757 is Trump’s personal jet. Trump bought the jet from Microsoft CEO Paul Allen in 2011 for $100 million, a good price for an aircraft model that at the time was 20 years old. The interior was refurbished to fit 43 people, down from the original 180 to 200 passengers. Trump’s jet can fly for 16 hours and reach a speed of 500 miles per hour.
Speaking of Trump, he currently flies in the second most-expensive aircraft in the world, Air Force One, whose security features make its value $660 million. When Trump was elected, he stated he would prefer to fly in his own jet — but federal officials deemed it nearly impossible to retrofit the jet with the necessary security features.
ACJ319neo — $101.5 million
The ACJ, or Airbus Corporate Jet, is the business version of the Airbus A319neo. The $101.5 million price tag is before customization. It boasts the widest and tallest cabin of any corporate jet. The jet is capable of long-range flight from Los Angeles to Geneva. It also offers a lower cabin altitude of 6,400 feet, making passengers more comfortable. Its key feature is the sky ceiling which displays a live view of the sky, or other images.
Boeing BBJ 747-8 — $324 million
In 2016, Chinese conglomerate company HNA Group spent $100 million turning the $224 million Boeing 747 into a private jet. This aircraft was the first Boeing Dreamliner purposely built as a private jet, so its interior and fittings were custom made. The interior is 2,400 square feet and includes a master suite with a California king bed, a walk-in closet, and a double-size shower. The BBJ — or Boeing Business Jet — fits up to 40 passengers.
Boeing 747-8 VIP — $403 million
Another custom 747, the VIP is the longest and second largest airliner ever made — earning the nickname “Queen of the Skies.” The price tag is $403 million before adding luxury amenities. The interior is 4,786 square feet and features a stateroom, lounges, an office, and a dining room. It can fly 8,000 nautical miles nonstop. The aircraft’s owner remains anonymous.
Prince Al-Waleed’s Airbus 380 — $500 million
The Airbus 380 is the world’s biggest and most expensive private jet. Saudi Prince Al-Waleed bin Talal al-Saud customized the triple-decker commercial airliner to include a stable, a garage, and a prayer room that rotates to always face Mecca. Additional luxuries include a Turkish bath and a concert hall with a grand piano. Many airports have had to update their facilities to accommodate this aircraft, which is the world’s largest commercial airliner.

India in France (@Indian_Embassy) July 27, 2020
The Indian ambassador to France interacted with the Indian pilots earlier than they took off from France.
“Bon Voyage: Indian Ambassador to #France interacts with the Indian pilots of the Rafale. Congratulates and needs them a protected flight to India with a single hop,” the Indian embassy in France tweeted.
The Rafale fighter jets are able to carrying a variety of extremely efficient weapons, together with the Meteor air-to-air missile and Scalp cruise missile.
The Rafale jets will include varied India-specific modifications, together with Israeli helmet-mounted shows, radar warning receivers, low-band jammers, 10-hour flight knowledge recording, infra-red search and monitoring methods amongst others.
The Air Drive has readied the required infrastructure to welcome the jets in its line-up.
Defence Minister Rajnath Singh, final month, held a telephonic dialog along with his French counterpart Florence Parly, who assured the supply of the primary batch of airplane would happen as scheduled regardless of the coronavirus pandemic.

The Belgian airline Air Belgium will soon be flying to the tropical island of Mauritius, with two flights a week starting from 15 October.
These new flights - which will serve passengers on the new Airbus A330neo - are part of the company's push to bounce back as travel resumes.
"People still wish to travel, and we have noticed that the number of travel demands has increased over the past few weeks," explained Niky Terzakis, CEO of Air Belgium. "With our new destinations and our new aircraft, we also think that Belgians will be even more eager to fly. We are confident for the future with the demand picking up and our new offer."
According to the International Air Transport Association (Iata) data, global demand is expected to reach 61% of pre-crisis levels (2019) by 2022.
The airline will also resume flights to Guadeloupe on 3 December and Martinique on 4 December from Brussels Charleroi airport. These new flights and an expansion of cargo activities will also create new jobs, the airline announced on Tuesday.
As of 15 December, the company will also launch a new service to Curaçao via Punta Cana, in the Dominican Republic.
What's this about a new plane?
Flying for the first time under the colours of a Belgian airline, "the Airbus A330neo is one of the most cost-effective and modern aircraft currently available," the company explained. The new plane promises to be quieter, roomier, more eco-friendly and boasts a state of the art entertainment system.
"We are extremely proud that the new Airbus A330neo is flying under Air Belgium's colours to Mauritius", said Wouter Van Wersch, EVP, President of Region & Sales Europe Airbus. "The productivity and flexibility benefits of the A330neo make it the best in its category, most efficient and most comfortable aircraft for Air Belgium's long-haul network", he added.

On Christmas 2021, Netflix released a starstudded comedy disaster movie called Don’t Look Up. The plot of the film revolves around two low-level astronomers who go on a massive media tour to tell mankind that an approaching comet was going to destroy the planet.
A few weeks later, ABS-CBN News Online reported that an asteroid as big as the Eiffel Tower is slated to hit near the planet in 2029. Before you start panicking, however, just take note that the asteroid is expected to miss the planet. Close call though, right?
Scientists in Russia have estimated that the asteroid Apophis will skim past the Earth in April 2029. This encounter will be the closest the planet will ever have with a rock of its size.
Just how close will the asteroid be to the planet, you may be wondering? Well, Apophis will come within 39,000km (24,000 miles) of the Earth’s surface — close to the distance at which television satellites operate.
This calculation is in line with NASA’s previous reporting that ruled out Apophis smacking Earth in 2068 and estimated it would miss it by less than 32,000km in seven years’ time.
Interestingly, the asteroid is named after the Egyptian god of chaos. With a diameter of about 340 meters (1,115 feet), NASA described the asteroid as “one of the most hazardous asteroids that could impact Earth” after astronomers at a US observatory detected its existence in 2004.
But will Apophis affect satellites? As per astronomers in Hong Kong, it is highly unlikely that the rock would hit satellites or the Chinese or international space stations in low-Earth orbit in 2029, although its path would be clearer closer to the time. This means that for now, Apophis poses no threat to Earth or its nearby artificial satellites.
“The predicted distance of closest approach is out in the region inhabited by [TV] satellites, but the chances of an impact with any satellite there are minuscule given the relative sizes and speeds compared with the volume of space,” said Quentin Parker, head of the Laboratory for Space Research at the University of Hong Kong.
In short, while the approach of Apophis may sound a bit like the plot of the Netflix disaster flick, you don’t have to worry because the planet is safe from devastation. Close call though, right?

Tragedy was avoided yesterday, July 21, as the tyre of a Boeing 737-500 belonging to Aero Airlines aircraft burst during take-off at the Murtala Muhammed Airport 2 (MM2), Lagos.
According to The Nation, the 141 passengers on board the Lagos-Abuja flight were scared as the pilot initiated to turn the plane around.
Simon Tumba, the spokesman of Aero Airlines, confirmed this in a statement. The airline said the pilot took emergency precautionary steps by returning to base.
According to the statement: “The pilot did the right thing by not trying to abort take-off. He controlled the aircraft into the air and following all trained procedures, he brought the plane back to safe landing. At no time during all of this were the passengers’ lives at any risk.”
However, the passengers were subsequently transferred to other flights.

The General Manager, Public Affairs, Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) Fan Ndubuoke, in a statement said the aircraft, which took off from the MM2 at 3.pm for Abuja, developed technical problem and made an air return as the normal procedure.
Ndubuoke said NCAA will investigate the incident. He assured the public of the agency’s commitment to safety and security.
It was reported last month that Aero Contractors averted a major disaster as over 120 passengers escaped death after an aircraft developed technical fault mid-air.

Last week we were joined by Toby McCann from Thales Aerospace who led an informative HiveMind discussion on the innovations happening in aviation to move towards greater sustainability. Toby started his career in the Royal Navy as an aircraft engineer and then was selected as aircrew. He was a mission commander, which in the Navy they call an observer, so his job title become a Maintenance Test Observer working mainly with weapon systems. Over the years, Toby has worked on many ships and aircraft in high profile roles, which has given him a great cross-section of experience and led to his interest in being part of the cutting edge to drive sustainability in aviation.
Why is aviation in the spotlight?
There was a lot of discussion at COP 26 about aviation and how we move towards greater sustainability as 2.5% of global CO2 emissions (Pre COVID) come from aviation. Although this might not seem like much, this statistic is only looking at CO2 and not considering the contrails (the thin white lines in the sky left by aircraft) and nitrogen oxide, which also contributes towards global warming. Most of the damage is caused by long-haul or super long-haul flights so that is where we should be focusing our efforts to get maximum improvement.
The race to net-zero
If we are to meet our goal of reaching net-zero carbon by 2050, then we really must think of this as a race and that the rate of decarbonisation is important. Aviation cannot be viewed in isolation as there could be negative consequences that happen because of sustainability initiatives, which would cancel out any good that was achieved, rendering the whole activity pointless. So, the energy transition is about how efficiently we move towards using renewable energy sources. Globally we waste around 70% of all our energy and in the aviation sector that number rises to around 80% so the key to solving this puzzle is really around efficiency and reducing the amount of energy that is wasted because then we will need to use far less renewable energy.
Electrification is the most efficient form of energy we have available to us. It is 70% – 80% efficient which means from a wing turbine through the distribution network, through your battery, out of the battery and into the motor again, you will not lose more than 30% of that energy, which is very hard to beat with any other system. Although not widely used in aviation yet, we know that electric motors are highly reliable, and they have very low operating costs. Several aviation companies are looking to develop electric-powered small aircraft with 6 – 19 seats. The challenge with scaling this technology to the bigger jets is the weight of the batteries. The batteries also must be packaged in a safe way to ensure they do not arch or overheat and cause a fire. Operators must then consider how the batteries will be charged and there is currently no data about how the batteries will degrade over time in an aviation setting. So, for now, this technology is likely only going to be useful for small aircraft that travel short distances and not larger aircraft that complete long-haul flights.
Sustainable Aviation Fuels (Biofuel + e-fuel)
Sustainable Aviation fuels are known as drop-in fuels as they can be mixed with regular jet fuel without needing to drain the tanks. Two ways of doing this are with e-fuel or biofuel. E-fuel is made by using large amounts of electricity to convert waste carbon dioxide into fuel. It isn’t very efficient, but it is a fuel that you can measure the exact carbon impact that it has so it is very green as a fuel source but also very expensive. Then we have biofuel that uses nature to do the heavy lifting as they use plants to suck the carbon dioxide out of the air and then use biomass, feedstock, or waste oils to turn into fuel. Toby said that biofuel was probably the best way forward when thinking about sustainability in aviation, however, it is important to understand where the biomass and waste products are sourced from, for example, palm oil production is responsible for mass deforestation. So, the production of biofuel must become more strictly regulated to ensure we do not do more damage than good by producing it unethically.
Hydrogen has some great advantages as it is the lightest gas and when you burn it, the only byproduct is water. There are however numerous disadvantages to hydrogen, which can be overcome with enough engineering, but this must be factored into any discussions about hydrogen being the only solution to sustainable aviation. Hydrogen takes up a lot of volume; four to five times the volume of jet fuel even when it is compressed down to a few thousand bar. The more volume the aircraft is carrying, the more drag is created, and the more power is needed to keep the aircraft in the sky. So, the benefits of hydrogen-fuelled aircraft decrease as the size of the aircraft increases. Hydrogen can be burned as a liquid fuel in a modified gas turbine engine, but to store and move hydrogen in liquid form, it needs to be kept at -260 degrees C, which is extremely complicated and requires a lot of energy to keep the hydrogen at that temperature. Although Hydrogen is a complex fuel to work with, many engineers around the world are designing technologies to overcome those issues and it might become a viable solution for the future.
There are hundreds of aviation start-ups who are designing e-VTOL aircraft and although this is not solving any immediate sustainability issues as they are designed to take passengers over very short distances, which could easily be completed in a train or a car, which all should be electric by the time these aircraft are rolled out in scale. Plus, if we look at the area of aviation that we must make the biggest impact it is in long haul flight. However, where these e-VTOL companies are leading the way is in developing technologies that might be used on larger aircraft of the future.

Good news for Robinson
The IBF was developed as an option specifically for the R66 by Bloomington, MN-based Donaldson Aerospace & Defense and provides added protection for engines operating in dusty environments. Instead of using a standard air filter with a foam filter element, the IBF employs a high-efficiency, flexible pleated element.
According to a Robinson statement, the IBF mounts to the same inlet screen and uses the same filter bypass systems and cockpit indications as a standard filter, without imposing any performance penalties.
Service intervals for the IBF are 300 hours or annually, and the installation includes a pre-flight sight gauge to provide an early indication that the filter is becoming dirty. The FAA approval has made the IBF available for installation on new Robinson R66 helicopters for $6,500.
In related news, engine manufacturer Rolls-Royce has expanded support for operators of its RR300 engines, which powers the R66 aircraft. The company increased the number of deployed technical representatives, while at the same time establishing new service locations, and added an online RR300 customer training program through Aviall, the exclusive RR300 parts distributor. Technical manuals are provided free to any operator who uploads their engine’s flight hours and cycles. Additionally, the RR330 has been included into Rolls-Royce’s TotalCare maintenance program and increased the engine’s warranty period by a full year. Lastly, the company also released an improved Engine Monitoring Unit with enhanced reliability.
With nearly 800 RR300 engines delivered into the market for the R66, and an amassed total of more than 550,000 flight hours, the R66 is the best-selling light turbine helicopter in the world.
There’s also good news for the Robinson R44. Garmin International recently announced a series of enhancements and an expanded feature set for it’s G500H glass flight display which is installed on board the R44.
According to a company statement, the enhanced G500H offers pilots a faster, more responsive and modernized flight display, alongside a number of additional features that improve situational awareness and bring new capabilities. Features include automatic dependent surveillance-broadcast (ADS-B) integration including TargetTrend and TerminalTraffic, geo-referenced FliteCharts and Smart Airspace.
TargetTrend provides pilots with an intuitive method of judging target trajectories and closure rates, while TerminalTraffic displays a comprehensive picture of ADS-B-equipped aircraft and ground vehicles throughout the airport environment. Additionally, FIS-B weather information received by the GDL 88H can be overlaid on the moving map and dedicated weather pages alongside flight plan data for easier interpretation. The integration of Smart Airspace also makes it easier for pilots to identify what airspace lies ahead. This feature conveniently highlights the airspace nearest to the helicopter’s current altitude and de-emphasizes non-pertinent airspace so pilots can quickly distinguish their location to the relevant airspace around them.
“We continue to expand upon the feature set of our G500H glass flight display STC in the R44 so these helicopter operators have access to the latest situational awareness tools on the market,” comments Garmin Aviation Sales and Marketing VP Carl Wolf.

Finally a reason to talk about drones in fintech. The FAA has granted AIG, State Farm and USAA approval to use unmanned aircraft to do inspections. The insurers said drones will help them inspect areas that are difficult for people to access. Drones have the ability to help insurers swiftly respond to claims from hurricanes, tornadoes and floods by providing aerial images of areas claims adjusters can’t get to. They also see drones as a way to reduce injuries from risky roof inspections.
American International Group Inc. said Wednesday that it received approval from the Federal Aviation Administration to use drones to conduct inspections in the U.S. The FAA previously had approved State Farm Mutual Automobile Insurance Co. and United Services Automobile Association, or USAA, to test drones in the U.S. USAA said Wednesday that it believed a recent federal policy change would allow it to inspect a catastrophe site as early as this week if needed. An FAA spokeswoman didn’t dispute the USAA’s interpretation. But insurers could be constrained by various FAA limits aimed at easing concerns about safety and the potential invasion of privacy. For instance, the three approved insurers can fly drones over private or “controlled-access” property only with permission from the owner or other authorized party,

Next Episode of Men Into Space is
not planed. TV Show was canceled.
In the not-so-distant future, Man makes the leap into space. Under the leadership of Colonel Ed McCauley of the USAF, Mankind leaps into orbit, colonizes the Moon, and by the end of the series is launching the first spacecraft to Mars. In this relatively realistic portrayal of manned space flight, many of the episodes stem around problems caused by the actual problems of space exploration.There are no aliens of other science fiction elements, and everything is grounded in scientific fact.
A rocket malfunctions during liftoff on a mission to orbit the moon. The crew members go outside the spacecraft to fix the problem but an accident happens.
McCauley leads the first manned flight to Phobos, moon of Mars. However, their departure window is tight and one of the scientists disappears a few hours before departure.
Looks like something went completely wrong!
But don't worry - it can happen to the best of us,
- and it just happened to you.
Please try again later or contact us.

A suspected U.S. drone strike killed at least five people in Pakistan. Two missiles hit a compound near the town of Miram Shah in the North Waziristan tribal region. According to a Pakistani security official who spoke with the New York Times, the strike targeted the Haqqani network, an al-Qaeda-allied group operating in the region. The Pakistani government condemned the strikes, which occurred during a major military offensive by Pakistan in the tribal areas.
A U.S. federal court released a confidential Department of Justice memo rationalizing the 2011 targeting of Anwar al-Awlaki, a U.S.-born Yemeni cleric. The Obama administration has resisted releasing the memo, which was obtained through a Freedom of Information Act request filed by The New York Times and the ACLU. While several key passages of the document were redacted, the memo does reveal new information regarding the targeting of al-Awlaki. (Washington Post)
Citing safety concerns, the National Park Service issued a temporary ban on drone use in all national park areas, a total of 401 locations that includes national monuments, historic sites and national seashores. According to NPS Director Jonathan Jarvis, the prohibition will remain in effect for 18 months or until a permanent policy can be put in place. Violators of the ban could face a $5,000 fine and up to six months in jail. (Wall Street Journal)
The Federal Aviation Administration released a revised set of regulations for model aircraft hobbyists. The regulations prohibit hobbyists from flying model aircraft beyond line of sight and ban the use of drones for any kind of commercial activity. The rules are controversial; in March, an administrative law judge ruled that the FAA’s ban on commercial drone use is illegal. (USA Today)
In an extensive three-part report, The Washington Post’s Craig Whitlock revealed numerous accidents and incidents involving both military and civilian drones. In Part One, Whitlock investigates the more than 400 military drone crashes that have occurred around the world since 2000. In Part Two, he examines the 47 severe military drone crashes within the United States. In Part Three, Whitlock reveals dozens of near-misses between manned aircraft and drones.
Commentary, Analysis and Art
At Opinio Juris blog, Kevin Jon Heller discusses the legal justifications given in the Department of Justice memo.
Meanwhile, at Lawfare blog, Bejamin Wittes considers the absence of a legal rationale for the administration’s standard of “imminence” in the DOJ memo.
At the American Civil Liberties Union, Brett Max Kaufman lists “five takeaways from the newly released drone memo.”
At Roll Call, Niels Lesniewski relates how two American senators pushing for greater transparency from the Obama administration are reacting to the DOJ memo.
At the Electronic Intifada, Rania Khalek points out that the DOJ memo cites a 2006 Israeli Supreme Court case on targeted killing as part of the legal basis for the drone strikes.
At U.S. News and World Report, Naomi LaChance questions how much the DOJ memo actually reveals about American drone strikes and targeted killings.
At the Council of Foreign Relations, Micah Zenko and Sarah Kreps have published a new report on drone proliferation. “A set of norms to govern the use of drones would require increased transparency on U.S. drone strike practices and targeting decisions,” write Zenko and Kreps.
At Motherboard, Jason Koebler reacts to the FAA’s revised regulations for drone hobbyists. “The FAA is essentially saying that it’s going to keep harassing you until it can get its act together to put together formal commercial drone rules,” writes Koebler.
At the U.S. Navy’s Future Force blog, Isaac R. Porche III, Bradley Wilson and Erin-Elizabeth Johnson discuss the challenge of processing all the data that drones collect.
At the Jamestown Foundation, Maksym Bugriy writes about the proliferation of drones in Eurasia and, in particular, Ukraine.
At Defense News, Paul McLeary and Aaron Mehta examine the role that drones and other aerial intelligence platforms play in the expanding U.S. military operations in Africa.

Electronic intel capabilities would help Air Force ’get her act together’
NEW DELHI — Aimed at countering a perceived threat from China, India is seeking to acquire seven aircraft with signals intelligence and communication-jamming capabilities with a budget of about $570 million.
“The requirement is for aircraft to carry out a unique list of missions centered around a two-front threat from China and Pakistan,” said Daljit Sigh, a defense analyst and retired Indian Air Force air marshal.
India’s global hunt is for twin-engine jets, and preference will be given to overseas companies able to provide custom, Indian-built electronic warfare equipment, a senior Indian Air Force official said.
”We need more airborne electronic intelligence (ELINT) assets, particularly to meet the Chinese threat as they are likely to extensively use electronic warfare and spoofing during any hostilities, and the IAF needs to get her act together,” said Vijainder K. Thakur, a defense analyst and retired Air force squadron leader.
The seven sigint aircraft will be operated by the Indian Air Force.

SB533C Recommended Action for sudden Engine Stoppage, Propeller_Rotor Strike or Loss of Propeller_Rotor Blade or Ti (1).
Recommended Action for Sudden Engine Stoppage, Propeller/Rotor Strike or Loss of Propeller/Rotor Blade or Tip
All Lycoming reciprocating aircraft engines
BEFORE FURTHER FLIGHT
Applies to all Lycoming aircraft engines (not just direct drive engines); added checklist specific for Lycoming geared engines; updated checklist which applies to all other Lycoming aircraft engines, added check for connecting rod squareness to the checklists.
NOTICE: Incomplete review of all the information in this document can cause errors. Read the entire Service Bulletin to make sure you have a complete understanding of the requirements.
This Service Bulletin identifies propeller/rotor damage conditions and gives corrective action recommendations for aircraft engines that have had propeller /rotor damage as well as any of the following:
- Separation of the propeller/rotor blade from the hub
- Loss of a propeller or rotor blade tip
- Sudden stoppage
A propeller strike includes:
- Any incident, whether or not the engine is operating, where repair of the propeller is necessary
- Any incident during engine operation where the propeller has impact on a solid object. This incident includes propeller strikes against the ground. Although the propeller can continue to turn, damage to the engine can occur, possibly with progression to engine failure
- Sudden RPM drop on impact to water, tall grass, or similar yielding medium where propeller damage does not usually occur
A propeller strike can occur at taxi speeds and during touch-and-go operations with propeller tip ground contact. In addition, propeller strikes also include situations where an aircraft is stationary and a landing gear collapse occurs causing one or more blades to be bent, or where a hangar door (or other object) hits the propeller blade. These instances are cases of sudden engine stoppage because of potentially severe side loading on the crankshaft propeller flange, front bearing, and seal.
Circumstances of a propeller strike cannot always be used as predictors for the extent of engine damage or its future reliability. There can be varying degrees of damage to an engine and propeller from a propeller strike. The initial damage can be hidden but could become progressively worse with time and wear.
Given these possibilities and the fact that there is no identified clear, quantifiable threshold limit or gradient standard to reliably measure the extent of damage to an engine, Lycoming Engines can only recommend BEFORE FURTHER FLIGHT, that you complete the tasks in the sequential order shown in the applicable “Inspection Checklist After a Propeller Strike” included in this Service Bulletin as the corrective action for a propeller strike. One checklist applies specifically to Lycoming geared engines (GO-435, GO480, GSO-480, IGO-480, IGO-540, IGSO-540, and TIGO-541) while the other checklist is for all other Lycoming aircraft engines. Make a copy of the checklist that applies to your engine model, complete it and keep it as a service record. Record all results and any corrective action taken in compliance as per the revision of this Service Bulletin in the engine logbook.
Connecting Rod Parallelism and Squareness Gage
A. Verify that the bearing cap is assembled correctly and is tightened securely.
B. Insert the tapered sleeves (Figure 2) of the Connecting Rod Parallelism and Squareness Gage in the bearing holes in the connecting rod.
C. Pull arbors through the sleeves.
D. Put the gage arm on the arbor.
E. Turn the adjusting screw on the gage arm until it just contacts the arbor.
F. Lock the adjusting screw with the wing nut.
G. Make sure the adjusting screw just contacts the arbor.
H. Remove the gage arm and place it on the other end of the arbor.
I. Measure the distance between arbors.
For exact parallelism or alignment, the distances measured on both sides are to be the same. Record the measurement.
J. Remove the gage arm (Figure 2).
K. Keep the sleeves and arbors in place.
L. Put the parallel blocks (Figure 3) of the Connecting Rod Parallelism and Squareness Gage on the surface plate.
M. Put the ends of the arbors on the parallel blocks.
N. For the squareness or twist check, measure clearance at the four check points in Figure 3 where the arbors rest on the parallel blocks using a feeler gage. Record the measurement.
O. Compare the clearance between each arbor and the parallel blocks against the values in the latest revision of the Service Table of Limits – SSP-1776. If out of tolerance, replace the connecting rods and examine the crankshaft to make sure the crankshaft is not damaged.

The World’s First Commercial Space Station Will Be Made in Texas
It's taken much longer than Sci-Fi movies promised, but man's march into the stars has finally reached a milestone worthy of Arthur C. Clarke. We have had numerous space stations in orbit over the years - 11 since 1976 to be precise. All of them have been built and funded by various governments at tremendous expense. Our current orbiting research platform, the International Space Station (ISS) has cost the consortium of nations that owns it an estimated $150 Billion.
Now the private sector wants to get in on the action, and the Lone Star State is the epicenter of their ambitions. Houston mayor Sylvester Turner dropped the shocker on the spacefaring community just before Christmas with the news that Axiom Space's new facilities (shout out to my WALL-E fans) would be built in Space City, U.S.A. (that's Houston to you gravity-lovers).
Axiom Space plans to build a 14-acre headquarters at the Houston Spaceport in order to construct a glorious, orbital space station for the sole purpose of providing private companies around the world with a hub for "research, manufacturing, and commerce."
According to Austin.Culturemap.com, the venture not only gets us closer to the Jetson's reality we were promised, but will also provide around 1000 jobs for machinists, mathematicians, and scientists. Axiom's Headquarters is slated for completion in 2021.

The mathematical theory of flight
2009 (English)In: Normat, ISSN 0801-3500, Vol. 57, 145-169 p.Article in journal (Refereed) Published
We show by computational solution of the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations with friction force boundary conditions, that the classical inviscid circulation theory by Kutta-Zhukovsky for lift of a wing and laminar viscous boundary layer theory by Prandtl for drag, which have dominated 20th century flight mechanics, do not correctly describe the real turbulent airflow around a wing. We show that lift and drag essentially originate from a turbulent wake of counter-rotating rolls of low-pressure streamwise vorticity generated by a certain instability mechanism of potential flow at rear separation. The new theory opens the possibility of computational prediction of flight characteristics of an airplane using millions of meshpoints without resolving thin boundary layers, instead of the imposssible quadrillions required according to state-of-the-art for boundary layer resolution.

SpaceX Falcon 9 Lifts Off In Florida, Places Indonesian Satellite In Orbit
A SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket lit up the sky around Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida early Tuesday with a successful launch, placing an Indonesian telecommunications satellite into orbit and demonstrating the reusability of the company's upgraded booster.
You can see the launch here starting at 21:45 in the video.
The launch marked the first time that the Falcon 9's new "Block 5" booster had been recycled following the improved rocket's maiden launch on May 11. SpaceX founder and CEO Elon Musk has advertised the Falcon 9 Block 5 as "the most reliable rocket ever built."
The rocket's upgrades are aimed at shortening the turnaround time for recovery and reuse.
"For instance, its grid fins, which are used for steering the rocket back from space, are made out of titanium, so they won't catch fire on the way back to Earth. The engines also have a new heat shielding to protect them from the high temperatures during the plunge through the atmosphere. And the structure that holds the engines to the rocket's bottom is bolted down now, not welded, to make it easier to take apart and inspect," according to The Verge.
Reusability has been a key goal of SpaceX, with Musk insisting that it has the potential to reduce the cost of reaching space by a factor of a hundred.
Tuesday's launch of the 229-foot-tall Falcon 9 occurred at 1:18 a.m. ET when the nine Merlin engines of the first stage, producing 1.7 million pounds of thrust, ignited and the rocket gently rose from Cape Canaveral's Complex 40 pad.
Spaceflight Now writes:
"The first stage pulsed cold gas nitrogen thrusters to ready for its descent, while the Falcon 9's second stage — powered by a single Merlin engine — ignited for the first of two burns to send the Merah Putih satellite into an egg-shaped geostationary transfer orbit.
With the aid of grid fins, rocket thrust and four landing legs, the first stage touched down on SpaceX's landing barge around eight minutes into the mission."
In February, SpaceX successfully launched its new Falcon Heavy, the largest and most powerful rocket since NASA's Saturn V, which took astronauts to the moon and was last flown in 1973. Musk says the Falcon Heavy is designed to carry humans and could be used for missions to the moon and Mars.

GE's new engines need immediate inspection, NTSB says
NTSB says 747-8 cargo planes shouldn't fly until their GEnx engines are inspected for cracks.
By Seattle Times business staff
All GEnx engines on Boeing 747-8 cargo planes should be inspected immediately for signs of cracks like those found recently on three engine midshafts, the National Transportation Safety Board said in an urgent notice Friday.
The planes should be grounded until those inspections take place, the NTSB said.
The agency said GE has used a field ultrasonic inspection method to inspect the fan midshaft on all in-service and spare GEnx-1B engines, used on the 787 Dreamliner. The similar but smaller GEnx-2B engines on passenger versions of the 747-8 have also been inspected, the NTSB said, but approximately 43 GEnx-2B engines on 747-8F cargo airplanes that have not yet been inspected .
A statement from GE said "fewer than 10 aircraft" remain to be inspected, and that task should be completed by early next week.
The first problem occured when hot debris was ejected from the back of a GEnx-1B engine during a runway test in North Charleston, S.C., last month.
Another failure took place in early September when a Boeing 747-8 freighter flown by AirBridgeCargo Airlines lost thrust during takeoff in Shanghai three days ago.
The NTSB statement disclosed a third problem, discovered Aug. 31: "A GEnx-1B engine installed on a Boeing 787 that had not yet flown was found to have an indication of a similar crack on the fan midshaft."
The agency said its investigation is continuing.

Focus on onbaord gas generation systems
Backed by its mastery of air gas separation technologies, Air Liquide is a major partner for civil and military aviation in the design of onboard gas generation systems.
On-board gas generation with OBOGS
The autonomous generation system OBOGS (On Board Oxygen Generating System) produces oxygen-enriched air directly and unlimitedly on board aircraft. This equipment makes it possible to cover all the physiological needs of pilots (breathing gas and anti-g protection). The electronic control of all the functions of the OBOGS offers great flexibility in the management of operating settings (altimetric overpressure laws, monitoring law, etc.).
Selected on numerous military aeronautical programs, Air Liquide's OBOGS should equip more than half of new generation aircraft. From now on, it also equips civil aircraft.
The OBIGGS for the protection of fuel tanks
For its part, the OBIGGS range (On Board Inert Gas Generating System) improves the safety of airplanes and helicopters thanks to an inerting system eliminating the risk of fire or explosion of fuel tanks. Part of the oxygen contained in the tank is replaced by nitrogen-enriched air, generated on board by the OBIGGS, thus making the fuel vapors non-flammable. This equipment does not require any calibration or logistics before the flight.
Aircrew respiratory protection equipment
Finally, Air Liquide designs and manufactures respiratory equipment (hoods-PBE: Protective Breathing Equipment) specially designed for commercial flight personnel having to operate in a polluted atmosphere following an incident (smoke on board, cabin contaminated by toxic fumes, etc.). These anti-smoke hoods, which use aeronautical quality compressed oxygen, provide on-board personnel with the protection and autonomy necessary for the smooth running of evacuation operations in the event of an incident.
Made of Nomex fabrics providing optimal protection in the event of fire and fitted with an anti-fog and anti-scratch treated polycarbonate visor, the hoods do not require any adjustment when fitted. A phonic membrane makes it possible to maintain communication with the means available on board.

WHY FLY WITH US?
Currently, about 80% of our instructors are Senior Instructors, meaning that our students usually go solo faster than schools with more Junior Instructors. All of our instructors are well trained and highly experienced, with a diverse range of aviation backgrounds from multiple countries around the world.
The company structure required for our Part 142 training provider status means that we have experienced support staff in a number of designated roles. These include an Internal Safety Manager, Welfare Manager, and designated Head of Aircraft Airworthiness and Maintenance Control (HAAMC). This support structure allows us to deliver a dedicated and focused approach to the welfare and safety of our pilots.
Part 142 flying schools offer an integrated CASA training syllabus, allowing you to reach your goals in less flying hours. This saves our students a lot of money, along with the fact that Part 142 training can be offered GST-free. To be approved to conduct Part 142 training, flight schools need to meet certain personnel requirements, meaning that they have more qualified staff and a more stable company structure.
We teach our students to fly on modern aircraft with modern avionics. Our pilots’ flying hours are supported by the use of the latest in flight simulation and VR even when they are on the ground. We have direct airside access from our training base, with a range of aircraft available for pilots at any stage of their training, including Multi Engine Command Instrument Rating.
Learn To Fly’s home training base is at Moorabbin Airport in Melbourne, one of Australia’s busiest airports with >250,000 aircraft movements per year. We also have a base in Townsville Queensland, and training facilities in Singapore and Hong Kong. In addition, we have partnered with airlines based in multiple countries to offer global career options to our pilots and students.
We are experts in assisting pilots with airline interview preparation, which is one of the most difficult aspects of pursuing an airline career. Many pilots with excellent flying experience still fail airline interviews, and so our programs offer in-depth training to make sure they are as well prepared as possible. Our airline interview preparation training experts have an excellent success rate with many major airlines around the world.
- Road To Becoming An Airline Second Officer – Matt WatertonOctober 06, 2018Even for those young men and women who have already taken steps towards being a pilot, until very recently a career as an airline pilot has still seemed out of reach. Many major airlines are opening up their doors, increasing numbers in their cadet and direct entry programs and offering new entry points into the industry.
- Recommended Pathway to become an airline pilot – for overseas studentSeptember 16, 2018LTF student Balendran Thavarajah has just successfully completed his first solo flight. We thought it would be a great idea to share his flight story, to show you that it is possible to juggle a busy professional and family life with your dream of flying.

After excited talks of seeing a rainbow on Mars from the photo of Perseverance Mars Rover, NASA announces that it isn’t.
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) often shares raw images from its spacecraft photographs on its social media accounts. Just recently, it posted a photograph of Mars with a rainbow-like image on the background, which caused quite a buzz among people.
Mars, the Red Planet
As the Earth’s sibling planet, people are always looking for similar phenomena on Mars despite the vast difference in the environments of the two planets. Hence, the latest image of Mars that NASA posted from its Mars Perseverance Rover’s Rear Left Hazard Avoidance Camera (Hazcam) made people quite excited.
In the seemingly tilted angle of the image, you can see Mars’ surface on the bottom right, while the top left of the image showcases the bare skies of the red planet adorned with what seems to be a rainbow. Unfortunately, that is not the case.
Perseverance Mars Rover
‘Perseverance,’ NASA’s Mars Rover has been on the Red Planet for over months now. Currently, it is running science investigations on Mars to prove and find evidence of past life on the planet. Moreover, the rover has placed the Ingenuity helicopter on Mars’ surface to prepare for its flight in the near future.
Rainbows Impossible on Mars
In NASA’s official Twitter account of the Perseverance Mars Rover, the photo was posted along with a quote to answer people’s queries on the topic.
The Perseverance team’s direct answer: No, it is not a rainbow.
The post further elaborates that rainbows are not possible on the Red Planet as its atmosphere and environment do not meet the conditions required in producing a rainbow. “Rainbows are created by light reflected off of round water droplets, but there isn’t enough water here to condense, and it’s too cold for liquid water in the atmosphere,” the official Twitter account states.
What It Really Is: Lens Flare
Undeniably, the real reason for what appears on Perseverance’s image is definitely less exciting. According to the official Twitter account, the rainbow-like manifestation on the image is actually a lens flare, which occurs when light is flared or scattered in a lens system. This phenomenon appears in images as a response to bright light. Hence, the lens flare in the photo taken by Perseverance gives the misleading image of a rainbow.
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) is one of the leading agencies for civilian space programs and explorations. It is one of humanity’s greatest weapons in conquering the unknowns of anything outside the Earth’s boundaries. Every day, it discovers and confirms pieces of information relevant in expounding the human knowledge of the universe.

See and be seen in your helicopter with ADS-B and other tech
Conspicuity systems for recreational pilots are designed to enhance the visibility of an aircraft to other pilots, ground personnel, and air traffic controllers, reducing the risk of mid-air collisions and other accidents. These systems can be divided into two categories: active and passive.
Active Conspicuity Systems
These systems actively transmit information about the aircraft’s position, altitude, and other relevant data to surrounding aircraft and air traffic control systems.
- ADS-B (Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast): A GPS-based system that broadcasts an aircraft’s position, altitude, and velocity to nearby aircraft and ATC. ADS-B is becoming more common in general aviation, and in some regions, it’s mandatory for certain types of aircraft.
- Transponders: Devices that transmit an aircraft’s identification, altitude, and sometimes position when interrogated by radar systems. They are commonly used in general aviation and may be required in certain controlled airspace.
- FLARM (Flight Alarm System): A traffic awareness and collision avoidance system specifically designed for general aviation and gliders. It uses GPS and radio signals to share position data between participating aircraft and provides collision warnings. The founders of Helipaddy were early adopters of FLARM in their R66.
- Traffic Information Service (TIS): A ground-based service that provides traffic information to aircraft equipped with a Mode S transponder. TIS alerts pilots to nearby traffic, giving them a better understanding of their surroundings.
- Mobile devices: any smart phone or tablet can also act as a conspicuity device. SafeSky, for example, relies on app users sharing position data via the app.
Passive Conspicuity Systems
These systems rely on the aircraft’s visibility to others, either visually or by reflecting radar signals.
- Aircraft Lighting: Navigation lights, strobe lights, and anti-collision lights can help increase an aircraft’s visibility to other pilots, especially during low light conditions or at night.
- High-Visibility Paint and Markings: Bright colors, contrasting patterns, and reflective materials can make an aircraft more visible to other pilots and ground personnel.
- Radar Reflectors: Devices that enhance an aircraft’s radar signature, making it more detectable by radar systems. These can be particularly helpful for smaller aircraft or those made of materials that don’t reflect radar signals well.
ADS-B and TIS explained further
ADS-B (Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast) and TIS (Traffic Information Service) are both systems designed to enhance situational awareness and safety in aviation. However, they differ significantly in terms of their operation, data sources, and the way they provide information to pilots.
- How ADS-B works: ADS-B is a satellite-based system that uses GPS technology to determine an aircraft’s position, altitude, and velocity. Each aircraft equipped with an ADS-B Out transmitter periodically broadcasts this information, along with its unique identification code, to other aircraft and air traffic control (ATC) systems. Aircraft equipped with ADS-B In receivers can receive this information from nearby aircraft, allowing them to maintain awareness of other traffic in their vicinity. ATC also uses this data to manage and separate aircraft more efficiently.
- How TIS works: TIS is a ground-based service provided by ATC radar systems. It collects radar data on aircraft in a specific airspace and sends traffic information to aircraft equipped with a Mode S transponder. The radar system interrogates the transponder, which responds with its identification and altitude information. The ATC then processes this data and sends traffic information back to the aircraft. TIS does not rely on GPS, and it’s limited to areas covered by the radar systems providing the service.
Key differences between ADS-B and TIS
a. Data Source: ADS-B uses GPS data to determine the aircraft’s position, whereas TIS relies on ground-based radar systems.
b. Information Exchange: ADS-B broadcasts information directly from one aircraft to another and to ATC, while TIS requires the aircraft to communicate with ATC to receive traffic information.
c. Coverage: ADS-B has a global coverage potential due to its reliance on satellite-based GPS technology. In contrast, TIS is limited to areas covered by radar systems providing the service.
d. Required Equipment: ADS-B requires an ADS-B Out transmitter and a compatible ADS-B In receiver to receive information from other aircraft. TIS requires a Mode S transponder to receive traffic information from ATC radar systems.
e. Future of Air Traffic Management: ADS-B is considered the future of air traffic management and is being widely adopted globally. TIS, while still in use, is being phased out in favor of ADS-B in many regions due to its limitations and reliance on ground-based radar infrastructure.
How do online flight trackers see me?
Flight tracking systems determine the position of an aircraft using a combination of technologies and data sources. The most common methods are:
- ADS-B (Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast): Modern aircraft are often equipped with ADS-B transmitters that broadcast position, altitude, velocity, and other relevant data obtained from the aircraft’s GPS system. ADS-B receivers on the ground or in other aircraft can pick up these signals and use the information to track the aircraft in real-time.
- Radar: Air traffic control (ATC) uses primary and secondary radar systems to track aircraft. Primary radar works by emitting radio signals and detecting the reflected signals off the aircraft’s surface. Secondary radar relies on transponders installed in aircraft. The radar interrogates the transponder, which replies with identification, altitude, and sometimes position data.
- Multilateration: This technique uses multiple ground-based receivers to pick up transponder signals from an aircraft. By measuring the time difference of arrival (TDOA) of the signals at each receiver, the aircraft’s position can be calculated with high accuracy.
- Satellite Tracking: Some aircraft are equipped with satellite-based tracking systems like Iridium or Inmarsat that transmit position data to ground stations via satellite. This method is especially useful in areas with limited radar or ADS-B coverage, such as over oceans or remote regions.
- MLAT (Multilateration) with Mode S data: In areas where ADS-B coverage is limited, MLAT can be used with Mode S transponder data to determine an aircraft’s position. This method requires at least four ground stations to receive the aircraft’s Mode S Squitter, which includes the aircraft’s unique ICAO address, and uses the time difference in receiving the signals to calculate the position.
What is Mode S and Mode S Squitter?
Mode S, which stands for “Mode Select,” is a type of aviation transponder communication protocol used for aircraft surveillance and communication. The name “Mode Select” highlights its capability to selectively address and communicate with individual aircraft, providing more efficient and targeted communication compared to earlier transponder modes, such as Mode A and Mode C.
The development of Mode S aimed to overcome the limitations and congestion issues of the earlier transponder modes. Mode S transponders were designed to reduce radio frequency interference, enable selective interrogation by air traffic control (ATC) radar systems, and provide additional data capabilities for improved surveillance and communication.
Some key features of Mode S include:
- Selective Interrogation: Mode S transponders allow ATC radar systems to selectively interrogate individual aircraft, reducing interference and congestion on radio frequencies.
- Unique ICAO Address: Each Mode S transponder is assigned a unique 24-bit ICAO address, which enables precise identification and tracking of individual aircraft.
- Enhanced Data Capabilities: Mode S transponders can transmit additional data, such as altitude, position, or intent, depending on their specific capabilities.
- Squitter Transmissions: Mode S transponders can periodically broadcast their ICAO address and other data without radar interrogation, enhancing air-to-ground and air-to-air communication.
- Compatibility with ADS-B: Mode S transponders are compatible with the ADS-B (Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast) system, which relies on GPS data to provide more accurate position information for better aircraft surveillance and communication.
The name “Mode S” reflects the selective nature of this communication protocol and its evolution from earlier transponder modes, offering more efficient and targeted communication in modern aviation.

Air Lanka, which was state-owned, was partially privatized in 1998, with investment by Dubai-based Emirates Group, when Emirates and the Sri Lankan government signed an agreement for a ten-year strategic partnership.
This agreement included exclusive rights for all aircraft ground handling and airline catering at Colombo-Bandaranaike airport for a ten-year period.
On 24 April 1980, the lease ended; Air Lanka received a replacement Boeing 737 leased from Royal Brunei.
On 1 November 1980, Air Lanka commenced wide-body operations with a leased Lockheed L1011-1 Tristar from Air Canada.
Sri Lankan upgraded its existing A340 fleet into a two-class configuration (business and economy class) whilst overhauling the interior to reflect the new corporate image.
Jeddah became the airline's 51st destination overall.
The A330-200 aircraft joined the airline between October 1999 and July 2000.
The company’s fourth A340-300 arrived at Colombo painted in the airline’s new corporate livery.
Sri Lankan phased out their last Airbus A340-300 on 7 January 2016 with its last scheduled flight from Chennai to Colombo.
The airline terminated three European routes – Frankfurt, Paris and Rome – by end 2016.

Ariane 5 launch site > Final Assembly Building
The last major step in the launch campaign is Ariane 5's transfer by rail to the 90-meter-tall Final Assembly Building.
It is inside this facility that the launcher receives its payload, along with the Sylda or Speltra structures (if any), and the payload fairing. These payload elements are processed within an encapsulation hall inside the Final Assembly Building.
The payload is then hoisted by a traveling crane and transferred for installation atop the launcher.
The launch table's umbilical mast is fitted with a 20-meter extension, which includes connections for the payload fairing's air-conditioning system.
The EPS upper stage and the launcher's integrated attitude control system are fuelled in the final assembly building. When integration activity in the Final Assembly Building is finished, the mobile launch table with its completed launcher is rolled out to the Launch Zone (ZL). This step occurs about 12 hours before launch.

In the week of the 40th Anniversary of the lunar landing CIO brings you five great Australian achievements in space, courtesy of Dr Miriam Baltuck, director of the Canberra Deep Space Communication Complex (CDSCC).
1. 50 years of space tracking and co-operation (1960-2010)
With the first the first co-operation treaty between Australia and the US signed in 1960 we are very quickly moving towards our grand 50th anniversary celebration in February 2010.
Since the 1960’s the Canberra Deep Space Communication Complex (CDSCC) has enabled solar system exploration from the earliest Pioneer and Voyager missions in the 1970s, all NASA’s Mars missions, Galileo’s trip to Jupiter and Cassini’s to Saturn, through to the New Horizons missions which is on its way to Pluto for a 2015 encounter. Australia’s role has been critical to all the solar systems exploration missions.
We are the only southern hemisphere site and with the outer planet configuration moving to the southern hemisphere we are this coming decade all the more important. That’s why we have the lead for the New Encounters mission when it gets to Pluto.
Anything that goes 30,000kms from the earth is something that depends on our support. There are currently 40 plus missions we have a role in supporting.
2. Moon Landing (1969)
Australia’s role in the Moon landing is well-known, but we really did get a special treat when the astronauts on their landing said “Heck no, we’re not taking a nap, we’re getting out.” That put us in the spotlight to get the first steps of Neil Armstrong on the Moon.
The film, The Dish, is the story of the Parkes telescope, but it was the tracking station at Honey Suckle Creek which actually captured the first 11 minutes of Neil Armstrong on the Moon. But the movie did serve to highlight Australia’s critical role in the success of the Apollo mission.
3. The Galileo mission to Jupiter (1989)
During the Galileo mission the high gain antenna on the spacecraft failed to deploy properly, and because of the configuration of the planets at the time, the bulk of the tracking fell on CDSCC here in the southern hemisphere.
CDSCC did an arrangement with the Parkes antenna which meant we could provide a downlink. Even though the data couldn’t be streamed at the high rate you’d get with a high gain antenna, we were able to capture the data in sufficient quantities.
It was a hugely successful mission and without the that linkage between CDSCC and Parkes, Galileo would have achieved only a fraction of what it did accomplish.

During WWII there were limitations to flight, how fast, how high, but often how far came into play. The range was something that deeply affected several aircraft of the war, in particular, interceptor aircraft. The Bell YFM-1 Airacuda remedied the problems of short range in interceptors planes by 2,600-mile range, long enough to intercept hostile bombers and escort friendly ones on raids.
Created by the Bell Aircraft Corporation as a plane that could fly farther than single engine fighters, the Airacuda was a huge bomber deterrent. The YFM-1 was definitely an innovative design with three cockpits equipped for gunners and forward facing M4 cannons it could take on large bombers with relative ease.
As innovative as the Airacuda was in its designs, they could not save it from the many flaws that plagued it during flight. The main flaw is that is could not attain speeds over 277 mph, making its role as an interceptor less than stellar. It’s size restricted the Airacuda’s maneuverability making it extremely vulnerable to attacks from fighters.
“With few pilots interested in flying the strange aircraft, the Airacuda saw limited flight. Although there were plans to modify the Airacuda’s airframe and installing more powerful engines the FM Airacuda was removed from inventory despite the fears of bomber attacks which the Airacuda was designed to prevent.”
A mere 13 Airacuda were built, enough for a full squadron but they never saw combat. The flaws along with a few accidents ensured that it would never be used as anything beyond display plane and by. 1942 all of the remaining Bell YFM-1 Airacudas were scrapped. You can see archival footage of the now extinct Airacuda in this clip.

KAIST Research Team Develops World’s First Humanoid Pilot, PIBOT
In the Spring of last year, the legendary, fictional pilot “Maverick” flew his plane in the film “Top Gun: Maverick” that drew crowds to theatres around the world. This year, the appearance of a humanoid pilot, PIBOT, has stolen the spotlight at KAIST.
A KAIST research team has developed a humanoid robot that can understand manuals written in natural language and fly a plane on its own. The team also announced their plans to commercialize the humanoid pilot.
The project was led by KAIST Professor David Hyunchul Shim, and was conducted as a joint research project with Professors Jaegul Choo, Kuk-Jin Yoon, and Min Jun Kim. The study was supported by Future Challenge Funding under the project title, “Development of Human-like Pilot Robot based on Natural Language Processing”. The team utilized AI and robotics technologies, and demonstrated that the humanoid could sit itself in a real cockpit and operate the various pieces of equipment without modifying any part of the aircraft. This is a fundamental difference that distinguishes this technology from existing autopilot functions or unmanned aircrafts.

The KAIST team’s humanoid pilot is still under development but it can already remember Jeppeson charts from all around the world, which is impossible for human pilots to do, and fly without error. In particular, it can make use of recent ChatGPT technology to remember the full Quick Reference Handbook (QRF) and respond immediately to various situations, as well as calculate safe routes in real time based on the flight status of the aircraft, with emergency response times quicker than human pilots.
Furthermore, while existing robots usually carry out repeated motions in a fixed position, PIBOT can analyze the state of the cockpit as well as the situation outside the aircraft using an embedded camera. PIBOT can accurately control the various switches in the cockpit and, using high-precision control technology, it can accurately control its robotic arms and hands even during harsh turbulence.
The humanoid pilot is currently capable of carrying out all operations from starting the aircraft to taxiing, takeoff and landing, cruising, and cycling using a flight control simulator. The research team plans to use the humanoid pilot to fly a real-life light aircraft to verify its abilities. Prof. Shim explained, “Humanoid pilot robots do not require the modification of existing aircrafts and can be applied immediately to automated flights. They are therefore highly applicable and practical. We expect them to be applied into various other vehicles like cars and military trucks since they can control a wide range of equipment. They will particularly be particularly helpful in situations where military resources are severely depleted.”

SpaceX efficiently launched its first batch of manufacturing Starlink satellites at the moment, sending 60 of the small satellites to their goal orbit aboard a Falcon 9 rocket. These 60 satellites comply with 60 launched in May, however whereas these, and two launched final yr, have been for testing functions, this new batch is the first in a sequence of launches that can prepared the constellation for offering web service to customers.
The launch occurred at Cape Canaveral in Florida, and the Falcon 9 rocket used included a booster stage that has flown not as soon as, not twice — however thrice beforehand. This is its fourth use, which is a record for SpaceX. What’s extra, SpaceX recovered the booster through managed touchdown on its seafaring drone ship “Of Course I Still Love You” in the Atlantic Ocean, which implies it’s attainable the booster could possibly be rotated and re-used nonetheless one other time — they’re designed to assist as much as 10 flights in whole.
That’s not the solely record for this launch, and for SpaceX’s re-usable rocketry program basically: This flight used a beforehand flown fairing for the first time ever (for any rocket firm) throughout this mission. This fairing was flown throughout the Falcon Heavy Arabsat-6A mission that occurred in April. Re-flying the fairing might save SpaceX round $6 million per launch, per estimates CEO Elon Musk has beforehand shared.
SpaceX had additionally initially sought to get better the fairing, or protecting protecting used to protect the payload of Starlink satellites on its approach out of Earth’s environment. The plan was to catch each halves utilizing ocean-based catcher ships designed for the function, dubbed “Ms. Tree” and “Ms. Chief,” however situations rendered that try inconceivable for this specific launch.
As for Starlink, SpaceX is seeking to as many as tens of 1000’s of satellites to populate its broadband-beaming connectivity community. The objective is to function a world constellation that gives connectivity through orbital satellites handing off connections to at least one one other as they circle the globe — a totally different method from present geostationary satellite tv for pc connectivity, by which few massive satellites basically sit over one a part of the Earth and present connections simply to that area.
Elon Musk tweeted earlier this yr utilizing a connection supplied by a Starlink satellite tv for pc for the first time, and the firm goals to launch service for prospects in the U.S. and Canada following six whole launches of Starlink satellites like this one, with service increasing globally after a deliberate 24 related launches.
