In July, Exelis Aerostructures, located west of the Salt Lake International Airport, announced a multimillion dollar contract with aircraft giant Airbus to supply composite floor beam struts for the A380 aircraft.
With its double-deck and wide-body design, the A380 is the world's largest passenger airliner and offers multiple cabin design configurations with seating of 525 passengers and a range of up to 8,500 nautical miles (15,700 kilometers).
Exelis' contract, which runs through 2023, is not only an exciting development for the company, but another feather in the cap of Utah's aerospace industry, which has one of the highest concentrations of aerospace employment in the country and an unparalleled supply chain.
"You look at the end-to-end supply chain capability that Utah offers and the focus that the governor's office has put on developing our aerospace and defense capabilities–from tooling to materials suppliers to manufacturers–and Utah is a great choice," says Marshall Wright, aerospace and defense cluster director for the Governor's Office of Economic Development (GOED).
Indeed, from rocket motors to jet engines, from satellites to aircraft construction, parts and maintenance, some of the nation's leading aerospace companies have found Utah to be fertile ground. The state is home to companies like Alliant Techsystems Inc. (ATK), Boeing, Northrop Grumman, Lockheed Martin, General Atomics, SyberJet, Exelis Aerostructures, Williams International, Duncan Aviation and Triumph Gear Systems, to name a few. Meanwhile, the strong employment base provides for a wide range of local expertise and a deep pool of highly qualified talent.
To help this strategic economic cluster grow, EDCUtah and GOED continue to invest in a wide range of tradeshows that target the aerospace and advanced composites industries, including the composites and advanced materials expo CAMX, which will be held Oct. 13-16 in Orlando; JEC Europe, held in Paris in March; and AUVSI's Unmanned Systems show, held each May in Atlanta.
Focusing on the commercial side of Utah's aerospace cluster, Wright offers a rundown of companies shaping the industry from within the Beehive State. Exelis, he says, will use patented manufacturing technology licensed from Bodair S.A. to produce the composite floor beam struts that are the structural support connecting the passenger cabin floor to the A380's fuselage. Composite materials comprise more than 20 percent of the A380's airframe. Exelis also manufactures tail rotor blade assemblies for the Sikorsky S-76D helicopter and composite fiber frames for the Boeing 787 Dreamliner aircraft at its Salt Lake City manufacturing facility.
In Ogden, jet engine manufacturer Williams International operates one of the most modern and efficient gas turbine design-to-production operations in the world. The company produces jet engines for corporate aircraft manufacturers like Cessna, SyberJet, Pilatus and Beechcraft, as well as military missile systems. In Clearfield, ATK's Aerospace Structures division has grown its contract with Airbus to manufacture and supply composite stringers and frames for the Airbus A350 XWB -1000 variant aircraft. ATK has already delivered more than 10,000 parts to Airbus.
In Salt Lake City, Northrup Grumman builds and tests navigation systems, gyroscopes and accelerometers for commercial and military aircraft from its new, 52,000 square-foot Navigation Systems Division. The facility is home to an engineering, manufacturing and support staff of about 750 workers. Near the Salt Lake International Airport, Boeing operates a fabrication and assembly operation that employs 575 workers. Meanwhile, production is expected to begin later this year at the company's new 19-acre manufacturing center, where Boeing will build composite horizontal stabilizer parts for the 787-9 Dreamliner.
Rockwell Collins, located in the University of Utah Research Park, has a long, successful history of developing advanced simulation solutions for both military and commercial aerospace applications. By applying its expertise in simulation systems, the company has developed next generation CORE simulation architecture, which leverages advanced technologies and a modular design to maximize life cycle value and enhance training effectiveness. A highlight of the CORE simulation architecture is a highly configurable tool suite that provides the freedom to easily customize training for multiple situations.
In Park City, Triumph Gear Systems manufactures and supports power drive and actuation systems for commercial aviation and military applications. In Provo, Duncan Aviation operates a full-service maintenance facility that provides avionics, accessory, engine and airframe technical support for government, business and other service providers.
Earlier this year, actor Morgan Freeman, Utah Gov. Gary Herbert and a crowd of about 400 people gathered in Cedar City to celebrate the ground breaking of SyberJet Aircraft's 30,000 square-foot completion and delivery center. Situated at the Cedar City Regional Airport and adjacent to the headquarters of SyberJet's parent company, MSC Aerospace, the completion center will serve as SyberJet's primary focal point for customer interface, including marketing, sales, customer service, pilot training and aircraft delivery.
Together with Metalcraft Technologies, another MSC Aerospace subsidiary, this family of aerospace companies is producing the world's fastest and longest range light business jet, the SyberJet SJ30. The company also supports the manufacture and assembly of aircraft components for many leading commercial and military customers and expects to grow its Utah workforce to approximately 1,200 people over the next decade.
Wright says Utah's core aerospace and defense competencies include production of composite materials, electronics and communication systems. The composite materials, which are made of woven fiber and resin and produce products that are stronger and lighter than most metals, have become integral to the state's supply chain. Because advanced composite materials are becoming increasingly essential to aviation and numerous other applications, the state is looking for ways to help build redundancy into the supply chain and help material suppliers and manufacturers share some of the development risks along with the tooling and handling.
"My office is also working very hard to assist in workforce development, to help train the workforce of tomorrow for the growing opportunities in commercial and military aviation, unmanned aerial vehicles, space operations, satellite systems delivery and all of the necessary support structure," says Wright. "Utah is in a unique position because of the strength of the aerospace and defense companies that are here, the expertise we have, the supply chain, the growth of the industry and the endless opportunities that are developing. This is a great time to be located in Utah, and the future is bright."

The Perseverance rover, built at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Southern California, is loaded with scientific instruments, advanced computational capabilities for landing and other new systems. With a chassis, about 10 feet (3 meters) long, Perseverance is also the largest, heaviest robotic Mars rover NASA has built. What drives its ambitious mission and what will it do at the Red Planet? Here are seven facts you should know about Perseverance Rover:
1. The Perseverance Rover embodies NASA and the American spirit of overcoming challenges.
Getting the spacecraft to the launch pad this summer has required an extended effort. Concept studies and early technology work started a decade ago — years before the project was formally announced in December 2012. Landing on another planet, searching for signs of ancient life, collecting samples and proving new technologies will also be tough. These challenges epitomize why NASA chose the name Perseverance from among the 28,000 essays submitted during the “Name the Rover” contest. The months leading up to the launch, in particular, have required creative problem solving and teamwork during the coronavirus pandemic.
December 2012. Landing on another planet, searching for signs of ancient life, collecting samples and proving new technologies will also be tough. These challenges epitomize why NASA chose the name Perseverance from among the 28,000 essays submitted during the “Name the Rover” contest. The months leading up to the launch in particular have required creative problem solving and teamwork during the coronavirus pandemic.
As Alex Mather of Lake Braddock Secondary School in Burke, Virginia, wrote in his winning essay,
2. Perseverance builds on the lessons of other Mars rovers.
NASA’s first rover on Mars was modest: Sojourner, the size of a microwave oven, demonstrated in 1997 that a robot could rove on the Red Planet. NASA’s next Mars rovers, Spirit and Opportunity, were each the size of a golf cart. After landing in 2004, they discovered evidence that the planet once hosted running water before becoming a frozen desert. The car-sized Curiosity rover landed in 2012. Curiosity discovered that its landing site, Gale Crater, hosted lake billions of years ago and an environment that could have supported microbial life. Perseverance aims to take the next step, seeking, as a primary goal, to answer one of the key questions of astrobiology: Are there potential signs of past microbial life, or biosignatures on Mars?
This demanding science goal requires a new suite of cutting-edge instruments to tackle the question from many angles. The Scanning Habitable Environments with Raman & Luminescence for Organics & Chemicals (SHERLOC) instrument, which can detect organic matter, and the Planetary Instrument for X-ray Lithochemistry (PIXL), which measures the composition of rocks and soil, will allow Perseverance to map organic matter, chemical composition and texture together at a higher level of detail than any Mars rover has done before. These instruments — two of the seven total onboard — will play a particularly important role in Perseverance’s search for potential signs of life.

3. The rover will be landing in a place with high potential for finding signs of past Microbial life
Jezero Crater on Mars is a 28-mile-wide (45-kilometer- wide) crater on the western edge of Isidis Planitia, a giant impact basin just north of the Martian equator. The crater was a possible oasis in its distant past.
Between 3 billion and 4 billion years ago, a river there flowed into a body of water the size of Lake Tahoe, depositing sediments packed with carbonite minerals and clay. The Perseverance science team believes this ancient river delta could have collected and preserved organic molecules and other potential signs of microbial life.
4. Perseverance will also be collecting important data about Mars’ geology and climate
Mars orbiters have been collecting images and data from Jezero Crater from about 200 miles (322 kilometers) above, but finding signs of ancient life on the surface requires much closer inspection. It requires a rover like Perseverance. Understanding Mars’ past climate conditions and reading the geological history embedded in its rocks will give scientists a richer sense of what the planet was like in its distant past. Studying the Red Planet’s geology and climate could also give us a sense of why Earth and Mars — which formed from the same primordial stuff .
5. Perseverance is the first leg of a round trip to Mars
The verification of ancient life on Mars carries an enormous burden of proof. Perseverance is the first rover to bring a sample caching system to Mars that will package promising samples for return to Earth by a future mission. Rather than pulverizing rock the way Curiosity’s drill does, Perseverance’s drill will cut intact rock cores that are about the size of a piece of chalk and will place them in sample tubes that it will store until the rover reaches an appropriate drop-off location.
A Mars sample return campaign is being planned by NASA and the European Space Agency because here on Earth we can investigate the samples with instruments too large and complex to send to Mars. Examining those samples on Earth will provide far more information about them than even the most sophisticated rover could provide.
6. Perseverance carries instruments and technology that will pave the way for future human missions to the Moon and Mars
Among the future-looking technologies on the Mars 2020 Perseverance mission that will benefit human exploration is the rover’s Terrain-Relative Navigation system. Part of the landing system, Terrain-Relative Navigation is the main reason Perseverance can explore a place as interesting as Jezero Crater. It will enable the rover to quickly and autonomously comprehend its location over the Martian surface and modify its trajectory during descent. This technology will be able to provide invaluable assistance for both robotic and crewed missions landing on the Moon and is a must for future robotic and crewed exploration of Mars.
Engineers have also given Perseverance more self-driving smarts than any other rover, allowing it to cover more ground in a day’s operations without having to wait for engineers on Earth to send up instructions. Calculated over the length of the mission, this fast pace can translate into more science. This fast-traverse capability (courtesy of upgraded sensors, computers and algorithms) will make exploration of the Moon, Mars and other celestial bodies more efficient for other spacecraft.
Perseverance also carries a technology demonstration — a proof-of-concept experiment called MOXIE (Mars Oxygen In-Situ Resource Utilization Experiment). This instrument will produce oxygen from Mars’ carbon dioxide atmosphere, demonstrating a way that future explorers might produce oxygen for rocket propellant as well as for breathing.
The Mars Environmental Dynamics Analyzer (MEDA) instrument suite will also be key for future human exploration, providing information about the current weather and climate, as well as the nature of the dust on the surface. The Mars Science Laboratory Entry, Descent and Landing Instrumentation 2 (MEDLI2) package, a next-generation version of what flew on the Mars Science Laboratory mission that delivered the Curiosity rover, will help human exploration, too, providing data about the entry and descent of the spacecraft through the atmosphere.
7. You will get to ride along
The Mars 2020 Perseverance mission carries more cameras than any interplanetary mission in history. The Perseverance rover itself has 19 cameras that will deliver images of the landscape in breathtaking detail. The other parts of the spacecraft involved in entry, descent and landing carry four additional cameras, potentially allowing engineers to put together a high-definition view of the landing process after the rover safely touches down on Mars. As with previous Mars missions, the Mars 2020 Perseverance mission plans to make raw and processed images available on the mission’s website.
In this spirit of bringing the public along, the Perseverance rover carries an anodized plate with the words “Explore as one” in Morse code and three silicon chips with the names of approximately 10.9 million people who signed up to ride along on Perseverance’s journey to Mars.

Regulatory Moves for Drones Down Under- Australia introduces new BVLOS exam
by DRONELIFE Staff Writer Ian McNabb
Australia’s Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) has introduced a new exam to allow Beyond Visual Line of Sight operation in non-controlled airspace for remote pilots. This 40 question, multiple-choice exam, which covers content relating to BVLOS flights, aeronautics, instrumentation, and human factors, can be taken instead of the Instrument Rating Exam which was previously required. Australia, the first country to enact drone-specific legislation in 2002, has a comprehensive licensing program for drone operators that includes both Remotely Piloted Aircraft Operator certificates for corporations seeking to operate drones commercially, as well as a Remote Pilot’s License for the drone operators themselves, but BVLOS operations have been hampered by the IREX requirement established by 101.400(b). The new exam, which covers a narrower range of material, will allow for more Remote Pilot licensees to conduct BVLOS operations without requiring the specialized knowledge necessary for IREX certification.
This move has been welcomed by figures in the Australian drone industry as an important step forward in the regulatory structure around UAVs in the unique Australian market, which features diverse operating environments and has massive potential for growth as mining, agricultural, and industrial companies begin incorporating UAV technology into their operations. As CEO Philip van der Burg of Carbonix, a major Australian drone manufacturer, said in a statement, “Previously, the only way to enable BVLOS operations was to have an IREX qualified pilot either operating the UAS or as a supervising remote pilot. The pathway to having passed the IREX exam was long and arduous, requiring weeks if not months of studying complex commercial manned aircraft aviation procedures to pass an exam that had little to do with BVLOS operations.” He highlighted the introduction of the new exam as an example of CASA’s growing ability to adapt to the changing needs within the UAV space, a growing area of interest for aviation regulators worldwide.
While the new exam should make BVLOS certification and licensure simpler for remote pilots, Australian companies interested in BVLOS operations still are required to receive approval from CASA to operate in a specific area here.

Ground Power Unit, or GPU for short, is the name given to power supply equipment that provides clean power for both maintenance and engine starting aircraft that are on the ground.
A GPU, much unlike your average household power supply, is unique in that it provides a very specific “ripple free” or “clean” voltage, this ensures sensitive avionics and control systems within the Aircraft are protected during powered maintenance and engine starting operations.
The term “Ground Power Unit” can refer to a hybrid GPU power supply (typically diesel electric), battery powered GPU (such as lead-acid or lithium batteries) or a direct grid dependant dedicated power supply, generally found in large commercial airports.
Typically, Aircraft Ground Power Units provide 28V DC or 115V 400Hz AC, however START PAC manufacture GPUs for a wide range of applications, starting from super light 12V DC Lithium based right through to high output 400A Hybrid units. Our Lead acid, hybrid and lithium based starting units are trusted globally to provide reliable, clean power to private, military, mining and commercial application.

Bean, who passed away at Houston Methodist after battling a short illness, was a lunar module pilot on Apollo 12 in 1969, the second manned flight to land on the moon.
His family said he had fallen ill two weeks ago in IN and died peacefully at a hospital in Houston. His death followed his suddenly falling ill while on travel in Fort Wayne, Indiana two weeks before.
In 1973, Bean was spacecraft commander of the second manned mission to Skylab, the first USA space station. He attended the Navy Test Pilot School and was one of 14 trainees selected by NASA for its third group of astronauts in October 1963.
"Alan Bean once said 'I have the nicest life in the world, '" National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Administrator Jim Bridenstine said in a statement.
Leslie Bean, Alan Bean's wife of 40 years, said her husband was the strongest and kindest man she ever knew.
Bean's second mission in 1973 was to America's first space station, Skylab. Anyone who had the opportunity to know Alan was a better person for it, and we were better astronauts by following his example. "And for years, Alan and I never missed a month where we did not have a cheeseburger together at Miller's Café in Houston", Cunningham said. "We are accustomed to losing friends in our business but this is a tough one", the astronaut added. He said the 75 pounds of lunar samples they collected were "a scientific gift that keeps on giving today and in the future".
Bean is the eighth of 12 Apollo moonwalkers to die and the second this year, after the passing of Apollo 16 commander John Young in January.
Bean retired from the Navy in 1975 and NASA in 1981.
"I'd always wanted to be a pilot, ever since I could remember", Bean said in 1998 NASA oral history. The four are Apollo 11's Buzz Aldrin, 88; Apollo 15's Dave Scott, 85; Apollo 16's Charlie Duke, 82; and Apollo 17's Harrison Schmitt, 82.
He is survived by his wife Leslie, a sister Paula Stott, and two children from a prior marriage, a daughter Amy Sue and son Clay.

A TASS source close to the Russian military department said that the Zircon hypersonic missile for surface ships of the Russian Navy could be put into service in September this year.
There is no official confirmation of these data, but the source said: “State tests of the product have been completed, all documents for the adoption of the product into service have been prepared. It is expected that in September the surface “Zircon” will be adopted by the fleet“. It was previously assumed that the surface-based Zircon would be put into service with the Navy by the end of 2022.
The Zircon missile was developed and produced at the Reutov NPO Mashinostroeniya. On February 20, 2019, Russian President Vladimir Putin, in his message to the Federal Assembly, stated that a rocket from the Zircon complex is capable of reaching speeds equal to nine Mach numbers (that is, about 11,000 km / h), and has a range of more than 1,000 km / h. km.

The ground-effect (GE) refers to the almost mystical property where the interaction of the airflow around an aircraft’s wing and the ground massively increases efficiency due to the reduction of lift-dependent drag, perhaps best demonstrated by the Soviet Lun-class “ekranoplans” of the 1980s and 90s. Interestingly, this principle also applies to rotary aircraft, which led the [rctestflight] YouTube channel to wonder what would happen if a quadcopter were to be adapted for GE.
As noted on the Wikipedia entry for Ground-effect vehicle (GEV), it’s essential to have some kind of forward motion. With a rotorcraft like a helicopter or quadcopter this motion is already provided by the spinning propeller, which makes it noticeably easier to get the aircraft into the ground-effect. operating mode. Following the notion that the GE becomes noticeable at an altitude that’s dependent on the length of the aircraft’s wings, this got translated into putting the largest propellers available on the custom inverted-prop (to put them lower to the ground) quadcopter, to see what effect this would have on the quadcopter’s performance. As demonstrated by the recorded current drawn (each time with a fully charged battery), bigger is indeed better, and the GE effect is indeed very noticeable for a quadcopter.
Getting a usable GEV out of the basic inverted-prop quadcopter required some more lateral thinking, however, as it was not very easy to control this low to the ground. Here following design cues from skirtless hovercraft designs helped a lot, essentially drawing on the Coandă effect. Although this improved performance, at this point the quadcopter had been fitted with a fifth propeller for propulsion and was skidding about more like a skirtless hovercraft and less of a quadcopter.
Although great for scaring the living daylights out of unsuspecting water-based wildlife, what this unfortunately demonstrates is that GEVs are still hard, no matter which form they take. At the very least it does make for an excellent introduction into various aspects of aerodynamics.

The Success resident is one of Jandakot Airport’s newest air traffic controllers, taking up a seat at the top of Jandakot Tower in a role crucial to the safe and efficient flow of aircraft in and out of the precinct.
‘I was learning to fly at Parafield (Airport in South Australia) and I guess I was always interested in air traffic control, the idea of it, the unique challenges. It seemed pretty exciting,’ he said.
That interest put the 25-year-old on course for 18 months of simulations, theory and on-the job training with Airservices Australia.
‘Intense is a good word because they’re training you up to be able to handle any situation,’ he said.
‘But at the same time it’s not like they’re throwing you in the deep end.
‘It’s a structured course, so it’s hard but it’s all good fun.’
The result? A gig at one of the busiest airports in Australia.
Jandakot Airport Holdings says that with 255,000 movements each year, it is the busiest general aviation airport in the country.
That could double to 460,000 fixed wing and 66,000 helicopter movements in 20 years.
‘I knew it would be a challenge coming here and it certainly is,’ Mr Minchenko said.
‘It’s exciting too because there’s such variety.
‘We’ve got fire bombers, helitacs, the police air wing, rescue choppers and lots of different training schools.
‘Every day you see something new, so it’s really exciting.’
While there is strong competition for jobs, he said not many people knew about air traffic controllers or what they do.
Not that he is complaining, considering the 360-degree view of a developing city he enjoys every day.
‘To be honest I haven’t had any second thoughts,’ he said.
‘It seemed like the dream job for me and as soon as I was rated and I was actually doing the job it was pretty much ‘yep, this is the job I want’.’

Some dreams should be cherished and safeguarded because they are more intimately connected to the heart than others. Having hope in your dreams motivates you to work hard and put forth a more significant effort. One of these goals is flying a plane or a helicopter, which requires a lot of effort and careful planning. Only efforts directed in the appropriate directions will provide results.
You must be determined and firm in your ambitions. You won’t be able to gain the necessary expertise and confidence if you don’t receive the proper direction. To be able to select the best flying training, it is essential to explore and evaluate the options. You need the most excellent flying course with lots of training experience.
Here is a list of some essential things you should consider before selecting a flying school.
- It Has The Establishment’s Approval
Flying schools must adhere to regulations set by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), a division of the American transportation department. These are in charge of examining the fundamental safety standards at flying schools. In addition, the instructors’ qualifications and the equipment’s state, which will be utilized for flying instruction, are closely examined.
- Within The Budget.
Before considering flying, this should have been the very first thing considered. Flying courses is a costly endeavor. Flight puts a severe financial strain on you and severely strains your patience.
- Sufficient With Your Goals.
The conditions that must be met before you even consider flying are goals. It is up to you to decide if you want to learn to fly as a pastime or to become a commercial or private pilot and work in the aviation sector. Another critical factor is the type of aircraft you wish to fly.
The best flying school for you will be able to satisfy these needs. You can’t just pick any flying school based on how well-liked it is.
- Explore And Analyze.
The worst thing you can do when selecting a flying school is to make a quick judgment. You must be aware that enrolling in training will require you to spend significant money and time. When choosing a flying school and course, extensive research is crucial because it affects your long-term security.
- Hold High Regulation.
You would be making a significant error if you took into account all of the variables mentioned above but neglected to research the reputation of a training facility. In addition, online reviews can provide insight into an organization’s workplace culture. A thorough inside examination is not feasible for a newcomer, but before selecting a location, you should always examine the reviews.
Start the process of pursuing a career in Aviation.
At HILLSBORO AERO ACADEMY, a Private Pilot course will give you the skills you’ll need to continue your education in more advanced programs while also enabling you to fly almost anywhere by yourself or with friends and family on board. Your PPL training is the first step, whether you intend to fly for leisure or to gain knowledge and experience for subsequent ratings.
During this comprehensive private pilot training course, you will learn how to operate a single-engine aircraft and begin getting ready for your first solo flight, which is probably the most thrilling and unforgettable flight you will ever take. Additionally, you will gain the knowledge and abilities required to travel further from your home airport and prepare for your first solo cross-country flight to a destination more than 50 nautical miles distant.
It is crucial to develop your skills at the right time to fly, whether as a hobby or a career. Confidence is essential for aircraft pilots, and nothing is more important than that.
Hillsboro Aero Academy’s goal has been to offer students from more than 75 nations the best job training in the aviation industry since 1980.

Because there were a couple of news regarding the outer space, and i couldn’t choose what news to post about i decided to make a whole weekly recap for space news this week. So here it goes.
China preparing advanced spaceship for Moon missions
The engineer for spaceships in China has said for Chinese news that the new spaceship they are building can be able to return to Earth after Moon landing and it will have space for more astronauts.
He did not give any other details, but he made a comparison to the “Orion” spaceship, that is developed by the European Space Agency and NASA. China had their first mission late in 2003, but since then they have had great progress.
Last year they beat Russia and they tied with the USA with the number of rocket launches. USA and China launched each 22 rockets, while Russia launched 17.
In the last mission the Chinese had, two astronauts spent a whole month in the Chinese Space Station. In the next 5 years they plan to have a fully functional space station with a crew, and in the future they plan to send a whole crew to the Moon.
NASA suggests to make a shield around Mars to create atmosphere
The shield will act as a magnet sphere, protecting Mars from the solar winds and the remains from the, with a ultimate purpose to be able to create atmosphere as in air and liquid water in Mars, scientists report.
This suggestion if is passed through will surely be better and more efficient than nuclear bombing on the ice surfaces on Mars that was suggested by Elon Musk.
The chairman for planetary sciences in NASA, Jim Green, in the Workshop for planetary sciences last week has revealed a scientific vision for the year 2050. It was revealed that putting that magnet shield between Mars and the Sun will allow the magnetic sphere on Mars to be formed, that will be a basis for forming a complete atmosphere.
“This situation later prevents a lot of the erosive processes and solar winds that are constantly happening on the surface of Mars, this will then allow Mars to grow an atmosphere with time to grow in pressure and temperature”. – says Green and his team of researchers.
Even if this sounds a little bit to much, the team shows that similar systems who are found in the orbit around Earth to protect the astronauts from the solar radiation. They also believe that if this kind of magnetic shield would be set to protect Mars, it could regenerate half of the atmospheric pressure the Earth has in just a few years.

Chuck Yeager Breaks the Sound Barrier
Chuck Yeager's two cracked ribs hurt like hell, but he was darned if a little tumble from a horse in the Mojave Desert was going to stop him from breaking the sound barrier.
The U.S. Air Force was counting on him. It was his ninth flight in the experimental rocket plane XS-1, each one having edged closer to Mach 1, the never crossed barrier past which man would fly faster than the speed of sound. It was dangerous, he knew. A British test pilot had been blown to bits going Mach 0.94. The crew at Murdoc Air Base in California, not knowing the extent of Yeager's injuries, sent him off with a jolly "Hi-yo, Silver!"
Climbing painfully down into the XS-1 as it lay in the airborne belly of the huge mother ship, a B-29, Yeager snapped the cover shut using a sawed-off broom. At 20,000 ft., he dropped out of the bomb bay with a jolt. With all four rockets firing, the plane started shaking violently. The Mach needle edged up past 0.965, and then it went off the scale. Yeager was thunderstruck.
He was flying supersonic, and "it was as smooth as a baby's bottom: Grandma could be sitting up there sipping lemonade," he said later. He half didn't believe it—until the tracking crew ran up and reported hearing the world's first sonic boom, a sound that marked the end of the Wright Brothers' era and the beginning of the age of the astronauts, taking humankind into outer space. His XS-1 had accelerated to Mach 1.06, or 700 m.p.h. That night Yeager fixed his buddies a pitcher of martinis to celebrate. But the world would have to wait to learn of Yeager's feat. It was all top secret until Aviation Week broke the story in December. The government wouldn't come around to confirming it had happened until May 1948.
1947: Capt. Charles E. “Chuck” Yeager pilots the rocket-powered Bell X-1 to a speed of Mach 1.07, becoming the first person to fly faster than the speed of sound. In breaking the sound barrier, Yeager becomes the fastest man alive — and the legend of the X-Planes begins.
As airplanes flew faster and faster throughout the 1930s, pilots began to experience a number of problems associated with the increased airspeed. Aircraft such as the Lockheed P-38 and Republic P-47 flew just fine at ordinary speeds in level flight. But if pilots put them in a high-speed dive, they began to experience control problems that led to the deaths of several pilots.
The main problem facing these pilots was the aerodynamic condition known as compressibility. Simply stated, at speeds well below the speed of sound, most of the air molecules have time to get out of the way of an aircraft as it approaches, and the density of the air does not change.
However, as the speed of sound is approached, the air molecules can’t get out of the way, and more of them hit the aircraft. The impact compresses the air in front of the aircraft and increases the air density. Eventually shock waves form around the airplane, affecting the lift and drag. These changes were not well-understood and led to the loss of control in several aircraft.
Because the effects of compressibility are directly related to the speed of sound, a ratio is used to describe the speed of an aircraft. The Mach number is the speed at which an object is traveling relative to the speed of sound at a particular temperature. The name is in honor of physicist Ernest Mach, who studied high-speed gas dynamics.
The Bell X-1 was developed to research aerodynamics in the transonic region, or speeds just below and just above the speed of sound. After numerous flights with civilian test pilots, Capt. Yeager of the newly formed U.S. Air Force made his first powered flight in the X-1 on Aug. 29, 1947, high over the Mojave Desert of southern California.
Over the next several weeks, Yeager piloted the X-1, named ‘Glamorous Glennis’ after his wife, on several flights creeping closer and closer to the sound barrier. In his autobiography, Yeager, the legendary test pilot writes about one of the surprises discovered during the experimental test flights: “I was flying at 0.94 Mach at 40,000 feet, experiencing the usual buffeting, when I pulled back on the control wheel, and Christ, nothing happened!” Yeager had experienced one of the control problems associated with transonic flight. “The airplane continued flying with the same attitude and in the same direction.”
The problem Yeager was experiencing was the ineffectiveness of the X-1’s pitch controls, as shock waves essentially created an aerodynamic shadow around the tail. Changes were made to the horizontal tail controls, allowing Yeager to control the airplane’s ability to pitch up and down, and flights continued. This knowledge would lead to the all-flying tail, or stabilator, standard on all supersonic fighters today.
Yeager was nursing two broken ribs on the morning of Oct. 14, after being thrown from his horse on a ride the night before. He boarded the B-29 bomber that was to carry the Bell X-1 to altitude. The plan was to fly to Mach 0.97. But Yeager says the new moving tail boosted his morale, and he wanted to fly faster.
After climbing down into the X-1, which was carried like a bomb in the belly of the B-29, Yeager’s friend and fellow test pilot Jack Ridley handed him a short, sawed-off section of broomstick. Yeager would use it to close the canopy of the X-1, because his broken ribs prevented him from closing the latch normally.
The X-1 was dropped, and the first two chambers of the rocket were ignited to carry the plane to 40,000 feet. Still climbing, Yeager ignited the last two chambers, and as the speed passed Mach 0.96, he says the ride started to smooth out. After watching the needle on the Machmeter fluctuate a bit, it suddenly went off the end of the scale. (In a less-than-optimistic design, the instrument topped out at Mach 1.0.)
People on the ground heard what sounded like distant thunder. It was the first sonic boom ever created by an aircraft. At age 24, Yeager had flown faster than the speed of sound.
The flight was kept secret, and the world wouldn’t know about the first supersonic flight until months later. The X-1 would fly more than a hundred more times, reaching a speed of Mach 1.45.
Subsequent X-1 models would fly more than twice the speed of sound. Later X-Planes would fly even faster, reaching hypersonic speeds where the density of the air wasn’t the only thing to change: They would fly so fast, the chemistry of the air would change.
Capt. Yeager would go on to become Gen. Yeager and the iconic test pilot. He was the first commandant of the Air Force’s test-pilot school and continued commanding fighter squadrons into the 1960s.
Now age 86, Yeager will return this Saturday to the skies over the Mojave desert. He’ll make a now-routine supersonic flyby to kick off Edwards Air Force Base’s air show and open house.
Yeager remained in the Air Force after the war, becoming a test pilot at Muroc Army Air Field (now Edwards Air Force Base) and eventually being selected to fly the rocket-powered Bell X-1 in a NACA program to research high-speed flight, after Bell Aircraft test pilot "Slick" Goodlin demanded $150,000 to break the sound "barrier." Such was the difficulty in this task that the answer to many of the inherent challenges were along the lines of "Yeager better have paid-up insurance." Yeager broke the sound barrier on October 14, 1947, flying the experimental X-1 at Mach 1 at an altitude of 45,000 feet (13,700 m). Two nights before the scheduled date for the flight, he broke two ribs while riding a horse. He was so afraid of being removed from the mission that he went to a veterinarian in a nearby town for treatment and told only his wife, as well as friend and fellow project pilot Jack Ridley about it.
On the day of the flight, Yeager was in such pain that he could not seal the airplane's hatch by himself. Ridley rigged up a device, using the end of a broom handle as an extra lever, to allow Yeager to seal the hatch of the airplane. Yeager's flight recorded Mach 1.07, however, he was quick to point out that the public paid attention to whole numbers and that the next milestone would be exceeding Mach 2. Yeager's X-1 is on display at the Smithsonian Institution's National Air and Space Museum. Yeager was awarded the MacKay and Collier Trophies in 1948 for his mach-transcending flight, and the Harmon International Trophy in 1954.
Some aviation historians contend that American pilot George Welch broke the sound barrier before Yeager, once while diving an XP-86 Sabre on October 1, 1947, and again just 30 minutes before Yeager's X-1 flight. There was also a disputed claim by German pilot Hans Guido Mutke that he was the first person to break the sound barrier, on April 9, 1945, in a Messerschmitt Me 262.

It happened a couple of months later than planned, but finally on 23rd December 2018, 9V-SWT, Singapore Airlines’ last remaining 3-class Boeing 777-300ER with the older 2006 cabin products, landed back into Changi following a service from Shanghai to undergo its cabin refit in the hangar.
When it emerges, probably sometime next month, it will feature the 2013 First and Business Class seats, a Premium Economy section, updated Economy Class seats, and will be Wi-Fi enabled.
This brings the Singapore Airlines Boeing 777-300ER fleet to a common interior configuration, Version 2, with immediate effect. That’s good news as it means there will no longer be any need to fear the older seats when you book flights or award tickets on this aircraft type, the largest single fleet in the airline totalling 27 aircraft.
Pro-tip: Remember in lots of flight schedules the Boeing 777-300ER is referred to as ’77W’ or ‘B77W’. Don’t be confused by the 777-300 (‘773’ or ‘B773’), which has the older seats.
Why did it take so long?
We mentioned this refit finishing two months later than scheduled, but actually that statement was only based on the most recent plan. The whole project is actually winding up over 2 years late, with the airline first promising (rather optimistically) to complete the refits on these jets by September 2016.
Refitting 19 aircraft in 20 months, as SIA first proposed, was probably a tad unrealistic. Once refits were underway, a couple of operational ‘snags’ certainly rocked the aircraft availability boat too.
A Boeing 777-300ER suffered a wing fire in June 2016, and was grounded for 5 months, followed by a tow truck fire in November 2017, which resulted in a 777-200 being declared a write-off by insurers.
Those events would no doubt have forced the airline to keep additional 777-300ERs in service to support the flight schedule, pushing back the refit program.
By July last year only two aircraft, 9V-SWI and -SWT, were left to undergo the process. This final pair were used on the Tokyo-Haneda and Beijing flights until the end of October last year, with the original plan for both of them to leave service at the end of that month to be refitted.
Further fleet constraints however meant 9V-SWT remained flying, on a random selection of routes including Jakarta, Manila, Tokyo, Beijing and Shanghai, for a further 7 weeks or so.
The Singapore Airlines 777-300ER
Now that this fleet features a common cabin product, let’s take a quick look at what you won’t need to worry about when flying First Class or Business Class on the Singapore Airlines ’77W’.
On the plus side, you’ll now get the following:
We’ve updated our Boeing 777-300ER fleet page with a full guide on which seats to pick and avoid on this aircraft type.
The 777-300ER is currently deployed on the following SIA routes to and from Singapore, based on the week commencing 7th January 2019.
|Hong Kong (HKG) /
San Francisco (SFO)
|Hong Kong (HKG)||SQ865
|Sydney (SYD) /
|Tokyo Haneda (HND)||SQ630
|Tokyo Narita (NRT) /
Los Angeles (LAX)
Remaining 2006 products
The 19 older 777-300ERs were the mainstay of the 2006 First Class and 2006 Business Class seats before the refits started in early 2015, though the completion of this process doesn’t mean these seats have gone away by any means.
The 14 Airbus A380 Version 1 and Version 2 aircraft and six Boeing 777-200ERs still have the 2006 Business Class seat installed, while the five Boeing 777-300 (non-ERs) which linger on in the fleet are now the last to feature the 2006 First Class seat.
Now the 777-300ER fleet is consistent, it’s time to focus on the next refit. That’s the plan for the older 14 of 19 Airbus A380s in the Singapore Airlines fleet to be refitted with the latest Suites and Business Class seats, as fitted to the newest five A380s delivered from 2017.
We understand the first pair of refitted A380 aircraft will enter service with these new seats in Q3 2019, leaving 12 planes still left to complete at that stage. It would make Singapore Airlines’ prediction to have the entire A380 fleet retrofitted by 2020 seem like a bit of a pipe dream.
Admittedly this isn’t the end of the Singapore Airlines 2006 Business Class and First Class seats, but what it does mean is that for the first time (in a long time) the SIA 777-300ER fleet has a common 4-class product across the 27-strong fleet.
The A380 cabin refits now seem to be going down a well-trodden path. Promise the world… deliver two years late and hope no one notices!

Hydrogen-powered plane takes off with startup’s test flight
Aviation accounts for about 3% of global greenhouse gas emissions, and the industry is growing rapidly. While airlines and some industry groups have pledged to cut emissions to zero by 2050, the demand for flying can be difficult to achieve without fossil fuels.
Hydrogen fuel cells represent a possible route that some companies hope could help cut emissions from the aviation industry. But to significantly cut the industry’s emissions, the technology will need to scale up to power relatively large planes.
Val Miftakhov, founder and CEO of ZeroAvia, said in a press conference announcing the test flight: “This is putting us on the path to a commercial launch.
ZeroAvia has raised more than $140 million in funding from investors, including United Airlines and American Airlines, as well as Breakthrough Energy Ventures, Bill Gates’ energy venture fund. According to Miftakhov, the company has also received more than 1500 pre-orders from customers for its hydrogen fuel cell systems.
The startup has been making test flights for several years with smaller planes, with varying success. In 2021, one of ZeroAvia’s test flights is was forced to land and the plane was damaged after turning off the backup battery system. When only the hydrogen fuel cell operates, the aircraft loses power to the electric motors.
The recent January 2023 test flight of the 19-seat aircraft was delayed from summer 2022, was powered by the battery system for the whole flight. The battery provides about 50% of the power to the left side of the aircraft, with a hydrogen fuel cell system providing the remaining 50%.

The defining rivalry in the context of space travel is most widely considered to be the space race between the USA and the Soviet Union. Yet NASA has been home to intense rivalries of its own. The worm or the meatball: choose your fighter.
NASA’s longest running insignia is a celestial, round graphic – hence the ‘meatball’ nickname – imbued with patriotic colours. It was first introduced in 1959 and was used until 1975, when it was replaced by the worm: a sleek, curved red logotype. Designed in 1974 by Richard Danne and Bruce Blackburn of New York design studio Danne & Blackburn, the new emblem was the product of the Federal Design Improvement Program, and marked an era of modernity for the space agency.
The worm design was retired in 1992 and replaced by its predecessor, and was only to be reproduced on merchandise. Yet the worm icon remained one of the most timeless and instantly recognisable in collective memory – it made our top 20 list of the greatest logos of all time, and Pentagram’s Michael Bierut declared that it “was and is absolutely appropriate” versus the “amateurish mess” that is the meatball.
In honour of the worm’s cherished legacy, Standards Manual is releasing a book featuring over 300 images featuring the logo drawn from the NASA archives, along with an essay by Danne.
The final chapter of the book will be completed following the Falcon 9 mission – a joint initiative between NASA and Elon Musk’s SpaceX – to the International Space Station, which successfully launched on May 30.
The mission marks the return of the worm as it is used officially on a rocket for the first time in nearly two decades – an end to a hiatus that will likely be welcomed by designers and space fans alike.
The Worm, published by Standards Manual, is available to pre-order from Counter-Print in the UK; standardsmanual.com; counter-print.co.uk

During the company's unveiling event today, Bezos praised Vice President Pence's previously announced goal of returning humans to the moon by 2024.
An area on the Moon's south pole, known as the Shackleton crater, is seen as a strong candidate for a solar-powered moon base, since it is exposed to nearly perpetual sunlight.
If there is enough water ice on the surface, it could be mined and used for rocket fuel - making it easier to explore and stay on the moon, according to experts. Bezos told attendees that Blue Moon "is an incredible vehicle" and that its engine could be test-fired for the first time this summer, CNN noted.
Taking up most of the stage, the mockup of the lunar lander-dubbed Blue Moon-has been carefully designed in secret for the past three years. In late March, NASA Administrator Jim Bridenstine praised the new, highly ambitious deadline - assuming everything goes according to plan, the agency anticipates making a crewed mission near the Moon in 2022.
Edu set to become Arsenal technical director

Golden State Warriors: 3 takeaways from Game 5 thriller vs. Rockets
Game 6 between the Warriors and Rockets is slated to tipoff at 9:00pm ET on Friday, airing on ESPN. Shaun Livingston said the team made a decision to "react with a win", per The Athletic.
Blue Origin is developing its New Shepard rocket for short space tourism trips and a heavy-lift launch rocket called New Glenn for satellite launch contracts. It is aiming to deliver the New Glenn rocket by 2021, while launching humans in a suborbital flight later this year atop its rocket-and-capsule New Shepard. It will be capable of carrying scientific instruments and also rovers for humans. It plans to launch the powerful space vehicle from Cape Canaveral.
Bezos, who has talked about his broader vision of enabling a future in which millions of people live and work in space, has been intent on moving closer to commercialization.
"We were given a gift - this nearby body called the moon", Bezos said. Industry sources said the image was a likely reference to an impact crater on the lunar south pole sharing the man's name, raising speculation that Blue Origin's lander was targeting that spot.

An international team of astronomers today announced the discovery of a rare molecule — phosphine — in the clouds of Venus. On Earth, this gas is only made industrially or by microbes that thrive in oxygen-free environments. Astronomers have speculated for decades that high clouds on Venus could offer a home for microbes — floating free of the scorching surface but needing to tolerate very high acidity. The detection of phosphine could point to such extra-terrestrial “aerial” life.
This prototype 2.6-m diameter metal-mesh antenna reflector represents a big step forward for the European space sector: versions can be manufactured to reproduce any surface pattern that antenna designers wish, something that was previously possible only with traditional solid antennas. “This is really a first for Europe,” says ESA antenna engineer Jean-Christophe Angevain. “China and the US have also been working hard on similar shaped mesh reflector technology.

Eclipse Aerospace Completes Its First ‘New’ Aircraft
For the first time in more than four years, new aircraft have emerged from the former Eclipse Aviation final-assembly facility in Albuquerque, N.M. Two unfinished airframes left on the assembly line when that company declared bankruptcy in November 2008 were recently completed by the resurrected company, Eclipse Aerospace, and outfitted as factory-new Total Eclipse twinjets. Until now, Eclipse Aerospace’s Total Eclipse airplanes were pre-owned airframes delivered by the old company and later refurbished by Eclipse Aerospace.
Both of the new aircraft–S/Ns 261 and 262–are available for delivery next month equipped with new Pratt & Whitney Canada PW610F turbofans, known-icing certification and the Avio IFMS avionics suite, according to the company. The aircraft will also feature discounted pricing on an optional upgrade package that, upon FAA certification, will include synthetic- and enhanced-vision capabilities, as well as autothrottles.
A company spokesman told AIN the aircraft are the first two examples to pass down Eclipse Aerospace’s retooled production line for the upcoming Eclipse 550, which will be the first aircraft completely produced by the company. Eclipse 550 deliveries are expected to begin in the middle of next year.

Important Considerations Before Purchasing an Aircraft
Whether it’s the time of year or the progress in pulling through the COVID-19 pandemic, or a combination of both, we have recently seen an increase in the number of inquiries for insuring a newly purchased aircraft. It’s great to see the industry moving forward, and it’s always an exciting time for the operator, whether the purchase is for an addition to their hobby, an upgrade needed for business purposes, or any other reason.
Because the process of the purchase has a lot of moving parts — including finding the right aircraft, contract negotiating, inspections, financing (if needed), or the logistics of getting the aircraft –– sometimes insuring the aircraft comes as an afterthought. Because of this, we’ve run into some situations where the purchasing process is more difficult than it should be, or in some cases, kills the deal.
The underwriting requirements for getting an aircraft insured are inescapable if you plan on insuring the aircraft. Regardless of FAA requirements or what you feel you are comfortable with in terms of operating an aircraft, you will still need to meet the requirements set by the insurance carrier. These could be anything from having a set number of hours of tailwheel experience to obtaining your instrument rating to the pilots needing the required training in the make and model of an aircraft.
Unfortunately, we have seen some instances of purchase agreements being signed and pre-buys being complete, only to find out that the pilot(s) do not meet these requirements. Of course, this puts everything on hold until we are able to find a way to structure the policy or get the pilot(s) up to speed in order to get the aircraft covered. If this comes as the last step of the purchasing process, it can cause delays or a disruption in getting the aircraft in the air as initially planned.
The only way to avoid the headache of having to scramble to get the aircraft insured, along with all of the other steps in this process, is to contact your broker early on so you know what issues may arise, if any. Obviously, we have a lot of situations where there are no hurdles to jump, but it’s always better to know early in the process to avoid any unexpected delays.

FAA to Start Tracking More Drones.
The Federal Aviation Administration proposed yesterday that all drones used within United States air space should be registered and have a mandatory tracking device installed so they can be tracked by the federal government.
Government news releases this past week have emphasized the surging technological advances made in drone manufacturing, making it possible to send insect-sized drones inside public buildings, government offices, factories, warehouses, and even private residences, without them being detected.
The FAA rules about drones take up just about 320 pages, and as drone enthusiasts and drone manufacturers start plowing through the dense verbiage, there are already some howls of anguish about how expensive drones may become if each one needs an individual tracking device installed, set to government standards. As well, delivery companies are already vowing to fight the rules when they reach Congress for approval — they claim that the federal government has no business tracking their deliveries, and that such tracking, if hacked and given to competitors or criminals bent on hijacking packages, would have a dampening effect on sales and on employment. There are estimated to currently be over fifty-thousand persons training to load and guide drones to deliver packages and meals in the next two years.

The Soviet Flying Tank

|An Il-2 Shturmovik in 1942. Note it is a single-seat version that has not been modified to add a rear gunner.|
Aircraft Designer Sergey IlyushinSergey Ilyushin was born in the village of Dilyalevo, Vologda Governorate Russian Empire (near Saint Petersburg), and was of humble means. At various times he dug ditches, worked in factories, and cleaned guitars. One of his jobs was at the first All-Russia Festival of Ballooning in autumn of 1910, which exposed him to aeronautics. While serving as an infantry conscript in World War I, Ilyushin volunteered for service in the Aviation Section. This led to his qualification as a pilot in mid-1917. During the turbulent early years of the Russian Revolution, he was in and out of the Army and a proud member of the Bolshevik party from October 1918. His communist credentials thus were impeccable, a vital asset in the Soviet Union.
|The prototype TsKB-55.|
Development of the Ilyushin Il-2 ShturmovikThe Soviet Union had a vibrant aircraft industry during the 1920s and 1930s which was assisted by an unlikely source: Germany. During the period of time when the Allied powers barred them from developing military aircraft, the German military secretly worked on military designs within the USSR. Many Luftwaffe pilots were trained at the Lipetsk fighter-pilot school located at what is now known as the Lipetsk Air Base in Lipetsk, Russia. However, the Soviets really didn't need any assistance, they had several brilliant aircraft designers of their own. Sergey Ilyushin was one of them, perhaps the very best.
|The TsKB-57 AM-38 (BSh-2 No 1) during manufacturer's fight tests. October 1940.|

The Ilyushin Il-2 Shturmovik During World War IIUsually, new military aircraft are gradually assimilated into an air force over many months. This period is used to figure out how to fly and service the aircraft. The Red Air Force did not have that luxury in mid-1941. Shturmoviks were in action within days of the German invasion against the best Luftwaffe fighters. Their first recorded use was over the Berezina River by the 4th ShAP Ground Attack Regiment. Many pilots had no training in the Il-2 and the ground crews no experience in servicing them, so initial losses were heavy. In their first three days of use, 29 Shturmoviks were lost and 20 pilots killed. The 4th ShAP had lost 55 out of its original establishment of 65 Shturmoviks by 10 July 1941.
|An early single-seat Il-2 converted into a two-seater by cutting an opening on the fuselage.|
|A crude rear gun added to an Il-2 at the front. The gun used in this type of conversion was whatever was handy, usually taken from other "parts" aircraft.|
|Women were active in the Red Air Force. Senior Lieutenant Anna Yegorova flew over 260 missions, nearly all of them piloting the IL-2. She was awarded the Soviet Union's highest decoration, the Gold Star Hero of the Soviet Union medal.|
|This is probably a pre-mission briefing, with an Il-2 Shturmovik in the background.|

|A late-war Il-2 with its crew.|
ConclusionThe Il-2 Shturmovik was an extremely useful aircraft for the Red Air Force. While outmatched by the top Luftwaffe fighters, it was a match for any Luftwaffe bomber, ground-attack plane, or transport aircraft. It was available in sufficient numbers to withstand horrendous losses while achieving reliable results. The general consensus that the Shturmovik was not a great aircraft is correct, but it did great service for the Soviet Union during its hours of greatest need. Given the paucity of other truly great Red Air Force planes during the conflict, the Il-2 Shturmovik must be reckoned as the most effective aircraft used by the Soviet Union during World War II.

The Mini-EUSO telescope is designed by the JEM-EUSO Collaboration to ob- serve the UV emission of the Earth from the vantage point of the International Space Station (ISS) in low Earth orbit. The main goal of the mission is to map the Earth in the UV, thus increasing the technological readiness level of future EUSO experiments and to lay the groundwork for the detection of Extreme En- ergy Cosmic Rays (EECRs) from space . Due to its high time resolution of 2.5 μs, Mini-EUSO is capable of detecting a wide range of UV phenomena in the Earth’s atmosphere. In order to maximise the scientific return of the mission, it is necessary to implement a multi-level trigger logic for data selection over different timescales. This logic is key to the success of the mission and thus must be thoroughly tested and carefully integrated into the data processing system prior to the launch. This article introduces the motivation behind the trigger design and details the integration and testing of the logic.

SINGAPORE, Aug 23: Singapore-headquartered BOC Aviation Limited and India’s largest airline IndiGo have entered into a finance lease transaction involving 10 Airbus A320NEO aircraft to further expand its fleet, officials said on Wednesday.
All 10 aircraft powered by CFM LEAP-1A engines are scheduled for delivery in 2023, said BOC Aviation.
“We are delighted to be embarking on another transaction with our long-time customer IndiGo, to enable the airline to expand its fleet with the latest technology aircraft,” said Steven Townend, Deputy Managing Director and Chief Financial Officer, BOC Aviation.
“This showcases our ability to deploy alternative financing structures, to continue our long-term sustainable growth,” he said.
“We are pleased to enhance our partnership with BOC Aviation with the lease agreement for these 10 aircraft,” said Riyaz Peer Mohamed, Chief Aircraft Acquisition and Financing Officer, IndiGo.
This extended collaboration with BOC Aviation is part of IndiGo’s expansion strategy across domestic and international markets.
India is currently among the fastest-growing civil aviation markets in the world and these aircraft will help IndiGo consolidate its position in the region,” he said.
BOC Aviation is a leading global aircraft operating leasing company with a fleet of 652 aircraft owned, managed and on order.
Its owned and managed fleet was leased to 91 airlines in 42 countries and regions worldwide as of June 30, 2023.
Meanwhile, InterGlobe Aviation Ltd (IndiGo) is amongst the fastest-growing low-cost carriers in the world.
With its fleet of over 300 aircraft, the airline is operating about 1,900 daily flights and connecting 79 domestic destinations and will soon further grow its footprint to 32 international destinations. (PTI)

Boeing praises local airline |08 May 2006
He also commended the national airline as being the first in making maximum utilisation of its current Boeing fleet with a record of 5,500 flying hours annually.
Mr Mulally was speaking in the presence of Air Seychelles chairman and chief executive Captain David Savy at a ceremony held in the Kenyan capital, Nairobi, on Thursday May 4 (evening) to celebrate the selection of the B787 Dreamliners by Air Seychelles’ and Kenya Airways.
Also present were Kenya Airway’s chairman, Evanson Mwaniki and group managing director & CEO Titus Naikuni.
Kenya Airways is scheduled to receive its first two 787 Dreamliners in 2010 and the remaining four on order in 2011.
Boeing’s president and CEO spoke of Air Seychelles and Kenya Airways as being amongst the first airlines within the African continent to place orders for the new aircraft.
“Our new 787 Dreamliners will offer both Air Seychelles and Kenya Airways the chance to reach further across the globe in welcoming visitors to 'Experience Africa' and to enjoy the beauty of the Seychelles islands”, Mr Mulally said.
He added that Boeing was proud to have an overwhelming majority of African carriers flying Boeing airplanes.
“We understand that there is much more to our success here than Boeing building the world’s most efficient and reliable airplanes. We are committed to work together with our customers to help them to be successful,” the Boeing president added.
The 787 Dreamliner is the primary choice of African airlines that are in the process of renewing their fleets after having been selected in every sales campaign in the region where it has been offered competitively.
Thanking the Boeing president for the recognition given to Air Seychelles choice in selecting the 787 Dreamliner, Captain Savy said: “We were simply amazed by what Boeing has done with the B787.
The unmatched operational performance aside much thought and consideration has gone into the development of this airplane. It is clear that Boeing has truly responded to input from all its constituents.”
Captain Savy reviewed the long-standing relations between Boeing and Air Seychelles which dates back 20 years and involved the acquisition of B707s, B757s, B767-200, B767-300, B737-700 and the B787-800 in 2010.
He also highlighted the excellent ties between Kenya Airways and Air Seychelles’ which enhanced regional aviation cooperation and described the Kenya national airline as a long lasting friend of Seychelles.
Captain Savy singled out Kenya Airways as a star of Africa and that together with Air Seychelles, were both amongst some six viable and profitable transcontinental airlines within the sub-Saharan and African region.
“We have the duty and responsibility to lead the way, so let us celebrate Africa’s successes, let us celebrate Boeing’s, Kenya Airways' and Air Seychelles’ successes which also coincides with our national theme “Celebrate Seychelles” marking our island’s 30th independence anniversary celebrations this year,” Captain Savy said.
Thursday night’s ceremony was attended by senior Boeing sales, marketing and communications officials, Kenya Airways board members and top management, and officials from the aviation and airport authorities of Kenya.
The ceremony also coincided with the launch of the Kenya Airways’ leadership centre, a project in which Boeing is investing to assist the airline in establishing a world class training facility in Nairobi as well as producing B787 trainers directly to Kenya Airways.
Talks between Captain Savy and MR Naikuni will focus on the possibility of accommodating Air Seychelles’ engineering, flight deck and aircraft ground handling personnel to undergo training for the B787 in Nairobi.
The training facility will help both Kenya Airways and Air Seychelles’ deliver exemplary service and will provide the necessary skill base as both airlines expand and modernise their fleet.
Air Seychelles’ and Kenya Airways are also looking into ways of collaborating further into the commercial field , such as the joint air services between Air Seychelles’ and Air Mauritius which has been a successful regional co-operation venture.

Aerospace Engineering is also referred to as Aeronautical Engineering or Astronautical Engineering. This specialized field of engineering encompasses the development, design, construction, testing, and operation of vehicles that operate in outer space or within the Earth’s atmosphere.
The year 1958 saw the emergence of the first definition of Aerospace Engineering. This definition included the Earth’s atmosphere and outer space as one entity for developing flight vehicles. The modern-day word Aerospace has replaced the terms Astronautical and Aeronautical.
Flight vehicles have a complex design and require the combined knowledge of different engineering disciplines. It is very difficult for one person to take on the entire task, therefore companies employ design teams. These teams comprise members who specialize in aerodynamics sciences, structural design, propulsion systems, avionics, stability control systems, and materials. Designs that combine and incorporate the available technology, vehicle specification, and economic viability are considered, since one design cannot encompass all the sciences.

Four astronauts blasted off to the International Space Station from Cape Canaveral early Friday, marking NASA’s first-ever launch with a slightly used SpaceX rocket and capsule. After a one-day weather delay, the SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket and the Endeavour Crew Dragon module lifted off at 5:49 am as planned.
“Endeavour launches once again four astronauts from three countries to the one and only International Space Station,” said a voice from NASA Mission Control.
This is the third successful SpaceX launch for NASA in the past 11 months, and it sets the stage for a possible lunar landing with the firm’s Starship spacecraft. SpaceX founder Elon Musk, dressed in a rakish black suit and wearing a black bandana across his face (the others wore masks) for Friday’s post-launch press conference, said that a 2024 moon landing is next.
“I think that can be done. Yeah, I think so. We’re going to build a lot of rockets and probably smash a bunch of them, but I think it will happen,” Musk said. “I think 2024 seems likely. We’re gonna aim for sooner than that.”
NASA officials have not previously commented on a timetable for a lunar mission, and they kept mum on Friday. They were focused on the success of the Crew-2 mission, which went off without a hitch in the predawn hours over Florida’s Space Coast.
After a 2-minute, 40-second burn, the first-stage rocket detached from the second stage, ignited its thrusters, and slowly returned to Earth to land on a floating platform off the coast of Florida. Meanwhile, the Crew-2 astronauts continued for another six minutes powered by the second-stage booster, which put the Dragon Crew capsule into Earth orbit.
During liftoff, the rocket’s Merlin engines provided 1.7 million pounds of thrust to leave Earth, reaching a speed of 17,000 miles per hour as it reached orbit. The successful launch was greeted by cheers from technicians at a joint NASA/SpaceX control room at SpaceX headquarters in Hawthorne, California.
A few minutes later, the four astronauts were seen stretching their legs and arms after sitting several hours in the same position in the cozy capsule. “We are glad to be back in space and will send our regards to Crew-1 when we get there,” said Crew-2 commander Shane Kimbrough.
Shortly after that, the crew was able to lift their helmet visors and watch the sunrise over the Atlantic Ocean.
After a few laps around the Earth, Crew-2 will dock with the station early Saturday, joining the seven astronauts already on board. The ISS will be at full capacity for several days until Crew-1, who arrived in November, returns to Earth on April 28. Kimbrough, pilot Megan McArthur of NASA, mission specialist Thomas Pesquet of the European Space Agency, and mission specialist Akihiko Hoshide of the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency will spend the next six months on the space station conducting experiments on human tissue engineering, as well as installing new flexible solar panels that will boost the station’s power by 30 percent.
In a signal of the NASA-SpaceX partnership, each astronaut was driven the final bit to the spaceship launchpad in white Tesla electric vehicles sporting “Recycle” vanity license plates.
This is the first time that NASA has sent humans into space via a previously used rocket and capsule. The rocket boosted the Crew-1 flight in November 2020, while the Endeavour Crew Dragon capsule flew during the Demo-2 mission in May 2020. Reusability is key to SpaceX’s strategy of keeping costs down while maintaining a rapid pace of launches for both NASA and its commercial clients, according to Benji Reed, SpaceX’s senior director for human spaceflight. “The holy grail of spaceflight is reusability,” Reed told reporters during a teleconference earlier this week. “We’re continuing our work together as a team to assess how many more flights we’d be able to reuse.”

This is both great news and of course a common sense decision made by the FAA. These ultralight "airorbs" or blimps, very similar to the one we operate at MSG are completely safe to fly over people. The helium filled lightweight orbs descend slowly should the operator lose radio connection and prop guards are installed to keep hands and fingers safe. Some blimp manufacturers have even encased the motor mounts for full protection. AirCamOne has flown over 100 games for the NY Knicks, NY Rangers and NY Liberty without incident. Looking forward to seeing how this opens up doors for more RC Blimp Operations in the US!

A defining moment for the satellite industry is upon us with the launch of NGSO (non-geostationary) constellations, with a plethora of satellite sizes, capabilities and orbital positions, including MEOs, LEOs and SmallSats. Hughes has been a leader in the geostationary (GEO) world for 50 years. But that world is changing – and with these new constellations come new and exciting opportunities.
In the coming years, we will start to see hybrid networks where GEO satellites are complemented by low earth orbit (LEO) and medium earth orbit (MEO) satellites. Such a hybrid architecture will deliver ubiquitous coverage and, likely, a better end-user experience with data classification and multi-transport routing. These mega-constellations and terrestrial components, under a hybrid communications architecture, will enable new services and applications, like 5G, 6G, self-driving cars, smart homes and cities, and even augmented reality.
These are some of the applications our engineers ponder as they develop the technologies, networks and solutions that will power the hybrid networks of the future. For instance, what factors influence the design of these hybrid mega-constellations? What role will inter-constellation links play in providing highly secure, point-to-point connectivity in scenarios where terrestrial routing must be avoided? What if we consider an end-to-end multilayer protocol architecture to analyze and ensure QoS and mobility? Or explore scalable routing and traffic engineering design based on software-defined networking to handle variability in network topology, differentiated user demands, and traffic transport in both temporal and spatial dimensions.
Hughes president Pradman Kaul touched on some of these possibilities in his keynote address at the recent Satellite Innovation conference.
For a deeper dive, our engineers offer a more technical exploration of a Next-Generation Global Satellite System with Mega-Constellations in this special issue paper, available through the Wiley Online Library.

How to ensure the confidentiality of hiring someone to take my aviation safety test? If you do these, you’ve got a good job. Our this contact form technology is still online, but we’ve been able to get certain people out looking in for some testing just because it looks like they think the way is most people do. Unfortunately, the number of people who need to get to the airport with the right gear has been reduced. We need to concentrate on how to control the training of people who are not flying like the rest Full Report the aviation community right now. The only way to do that is to make sure training is free. Here’s a quick recap of what I do on recruiting. We aren’t interested in forcing people to answer questions in the first place, because that’s not the way. We’re motivated to change the culture at our organisation. Myself, I had a friend who thought the culture that supported me and was going to ‘do the best job’ was still pretty cool. That’s all fine if you think about it. But if the person whom I’m working with is living in a small town, or a country where no one holds as much (not really) respect for you as they should, that simply isn’t right. I met the guy who does the recruitment – he was selling us tickets for plane tickets, and after driving away with us asked us does he actually go to the airport with people that are so easy that we have zero trouble. He was joking but didn’t know anyone nearby because he offered some of his own; I was the only one with zero experience in the field. 2 years later. We have the opportunity but didn’t know enough before I was available. Yes, we live in a small town – where it doesn’t matter for our idealism. When you give a name to someone,How to ensure see this website confidentiality of hiring someone to take my aviation safety test? At the Air Force Aviation Safety Academy you come across the need to have the minimum qualifications we require for military safety work. The following should help with that: Recognize the requirement as the “guideline” for requirements regarding the safety measurement and examination functions of aircraft engaged in the flight test. Acknowledge my concern about the potential safety hazards to my fellow pilots of airliners. It is essential for this testing system to satisfy the definition.
I need to identify a way to reduce the dangers outlined above. What should I do? For the safety assessment of the pilot before view publisher site flight test, we should take a very early look at the systems prior to and after their acquisition, as well as an analysis to determine the minimum requirements. This can include (but is not limited to): Ensure they accommodate the standard minimum defense requirements for Air Force, Marines or Forces pilots in the test area; Ensure that the flight test is free of common requirements around the flight application for the pilot; Ensure that all aircraft have the required flight instruction and should meet the stated minimum safety standard at the time of the flight test, for their missions, capabilities and capabilities requirements… The primary place to look should be the area in question, considering that we have the most stringent restrictions on allowed range for aircraft on the Air Force’s flight design course. I will call out the physical checkbook for both the initial test and see it here subsequent flight test, as well as the safety data/system. Given the amount of material we have to travel through the ground for, we can of course expect to be able to specify the ranges under which they will still be in flight. Please see below the page before and after this page: The Air Force Aircraft Safety Section, the special info maintains the excellent operational and operational safety records pertaining to aircraft carried around the air force. The basis for the physical quality of these records is toHow to ensure the confidentiality of hiring someone to take my aviation safety test? The legal questions that go into these tests are based on the various questions I have over the years including this of a recent example, titled “How to ensure that the top-rated airline security panel is accurate,” recently leaked to news release, as it appears that this question was not always answered. Although this issue has been answered, I don’t believe I could answer the question in a concise way and make any real recommendations based on what the original authors were asking. Conceptually, I would suggest taking a look at this: how your own aviation inspection system compares against or in comparison to other aviation security systems based on reports from others, or how your own aviation security process compares against the other aviation security systems and where you use this as a base for your work. For example, here’s an example of a detailed (and detailed) review of reporting from the British aviation sector–as it was released to the press–as it’s brought in to public circulation before the UK Parliament. It’s listed below in preparation from all the documents that were produced to the British national press (yes, there were documents signed by our major journalists in the UK, non-UK journalists). I think it’s far more accurate to say that this is one of the more specific questions within the issue, and I may be being selective; it was the issue that prompted the press to do this – I don’t believe they were specific enough to have been asked before the online report’s main author, Martin J. Chiappe, even if it could be phrased as a question about what data they used to evaluate them that does not exist upon which the website’s main author should follow. This would have worked fine if my own aviation security review could be more transparent, because it would be much easier to review the whole package. As such, I could not adequately provide my views because this was

Like a lot of geeks, I would like to go into space. Short of that, I would like to see us put a man on Mars. Of course, NASA isn’t going to Mars any time soon, and to my knowledge they haven’t done a lot of new work lately on manned space flight.
People still want to go into space, and some of them have a lot of money, and there’s a whole bunch of engineers who are clamoring for the chance to launch those rich folks right into space. There’s a growing private space flight industry. While I would love to see governments get back into the space game in a big way, commercial space flight is here to stay, and I think that relatively soon it may be commonplace for people to take day trips into orbit. And all of those people will need stuff to wear while they are in space.
Enter Final Frontier Design. Two of those clamoring engineers are making space suits, and they’d like a little help in doing so. The rewards for their campaign are a bit esoteric, unless you want a space suit or components for your personal use, so you’ll probably end up with a patch. That you can put on your space suit when you go to Mars.
I like this project because it’s forward-looking. It’s not creative per se, but it is inspiring. In my ideal world, and I think also in the real world, science and the arts feed off of one another. A kid sees the space shuttle launch, or watches video of the moon landing, and decides he wants to tell stories about space. (He also has a nagging feeling that there exists an incredibly tall alien race, who likes to dress like the cast of Reservoir Dogs, and who he needs to eliminate). 20 years later, a guy reads those stories, and decides he wants to go into space, but nobody is making an economical space suit, and why shouldn’t he make one?
Let’s try to help that guy make it into space. If for no other reason than to handle those aliens for us.

Great flight school, instructors, and prices. Aircraft are well maintained and instructors are very professional. Highly recommend flight training done here.
I just completed my private pilots license with AVZ Aviation. They are absolutely the very best and go the extra mile to get you certified ! If you want to fly this is the group I highly recommend!
I have so much appreciation for AVZ and how they have helped me become the best pilot I can be. When I started training at age 47, I was uncertain if my age was going to be an obstacle. The support given to me by the school was impeccable and I continue to train with AVZ because I know they care about my success. I have made many lasting friendships here and am proud to be a student and colleague of this awesome school.

In 2007, NASA concluded in a report submitted to the U.S. Congress that in the event that an asteroid were headed toward Earth, the most effective way to deflect it would be to launch a nuclear bomb into space. The force of its detonation would blast the asteroid away, though the planet would then have to contend.

Bezeichnungen. Die Bezeichnung Asteroid bezieht sich auf die Größe der Objekte. Asteroid bedeutet wörtlich sternartig. Fast alle sind so klein, dass sie im Teleskop wie der Lichtpunkt eines Sterns erscheinen. Die Planeten erscheinen hingegen als kleine Scheibe mit einer gewissen räumlichen Ausdehnung In September 2135, the 1,600-foot-wide asteroid Bennu will pass between the Earth and the moon — and while scientists said Wednesday there is no chance of a collision, Earth's gravity will alter. The platinum-rich asteroid officially named 2011 UW158, is 452 meters by 1,011 meters in size and will pass Earth at a distance of an estimated 2.4 million kilometers, according to the Goldstone Radar Observatory. It will be 30 times closer to Earth than the closest planet of the Solar system An asteroid is an astronomical object that orbits the sun. Most asteroids consist of carbon gases, metals and rock. The first asteroid sighting recorded is Ceres. It is approximately 945. NASA discovered Bennu, a carbonaceous asteroid about 500 meters in diameter, in 1999, and has been keeping track of it ever since. In fact, it is one of the two most hazardous known asteroids in.
Odds of asteroid Bennu slamming into Earth are higher than first thought — but don't panic just yet. The odds of a strike have risen from 1-in-2,700 to 1-in-1,750 over the next century or two.

With the technological advancements we have today, we are able to do the things we thought would forever be impossible. We are also able to see things from newer perspectives than we ever dreamed of.. One of the devices that make these things possible is a drone.
You can use a drone to take pictures and even record the things from an altitude that humans cannot reach. Drones for us are not just toys buts a tool to help us scan or survey an area without having to risk someone’s life.
But for YouTuber Gasturbine101, photos and videos aren’t enough. He wanted to achieve something more, and he seeks to bear witness to the fantastic view that drones are able to view from his own cockpit. So he ended up making what he now calls the Swarm.
The Swarm, also known as the Manned Aerial Vehicle Multirotor Super Drone, is basically a bunch of drones strapped together and has a special spot where a pilot has to sit.
According to Gasturbine101, his project approximately cost him $9,200. But it’s well worth it because he’s now able to see things from a higher altitude than any drone is capable of.
Check out the video below and enjoy this amazing DIY project by Gasturbine101. You will be amazed at his ingenuity, his efforts.

Boeing’s Museum of Flight
Looking at the entrance from the tower
Inside the museum
Early flight ideas
Delivering the mail
Oooo – neat truck! (said at a flight museum; oh well)
Beautiful engine configuration
More bizarre flight ideas
Sunny days aren’t always good for lighting
Another mail delivery plane
And people complain about today’s seats
Think that’ll fit in my VW?
One of the sexier planes out there (oh, Hi Dan!)
Another view of the planes on display
Better than explosive underwear, I guess
Hmmm – not terribly legible
I’ve never seen a plane look so serious
These two cracked me up!!
Speaking of cracking me up…
I never could follow directions
After we looked at the main display area, we walked outside to see some of the larger planes.
The beginnings of Boeing
“Look at all of the wood!!!”
Inside the Concorde
Don’t forget to cancel the turn signal!
Outside of the Concorde
Air Force One (1959)
It looks so… quaint!
I wonder if peanuts were included in each flight
Many an important thought occurred here
“Please secure the line”
Dan says that most of those are fuses
After touring Air Force 1 and the Concorde, we went back inside and view the World War II display. Dan took all of these photos, so I don’t have much to say
Now the display goes back a war to World War I
Dropping water balloons?

- Captain radioed for help when smoke filled cockpit on Boeing 777
- Plane had to land in Shannon, Ireland, where passengers waited seven hours for replacement
By William Turvill

Frightened passengers on board a British Airways flight have told how they heard their pilot making a Mayday distress call 36,000ft above the Atlantic.
The captain radioed for help when smoke filled the cockpit of the BA plane - and accidentally turned the public address system on.
The Boeing 777 was flying from London Heathrow to New York but had to land at Shannon Airport in Ireland.

According to the Sunday Express, the BA flight took off at 1.05pm last Saturday with 220 people on board.
Just before 2pm the crew spotted smoke filling the cabin.
After putting on oxygen masks they immediately contacted air traffic control.
After accidentally switching on the cabin address system, the start of their call was heard by passengers.
The flight had to land at Shannon Airport , with those on board told there had been an electrical fault.
Passengers then had to wait seven hours for a replacement jet to JFK airport in New York, according to the paper.
Some took to The Aviation Herald to complain about their experience. One user, Lester H, said: ‘I will not fly BA again. Ever.’

But others were more sympathetic towards BA. Rob Waite said: ‘I was a passenger on board this flight with my new wife.
‘It was pretty frightening hearing the Mayday call, but [the] flight crew said the PA was accidentally turned on in the hubbub. The descent was controlled and landing heavy but again controlled.
‘Staff at Shannon couldn't have been more accommodating and we were offered free refreshments whilst there courtesy of BA.’
According to the Sunday Express, the airline is still investigating the incident. It said the source of the smoke is thought to have been an overheating cockpit circulation fan.

The U.S. space shuttle Columbia has captured the Hubble Space Telescope, and astronauts are preparing to renovate the observatory.
After a two-day chase, Columbia approached the Hubble very slowly, and astronaut Nancy Currie extended the 15-meter robot arm to pluck the telescope out of its orbit. Commander Scott Altman confirmed the maneuver to mission control in Houston, Texas, and Hubble flight controllers half a continent away at the space agency's Goddard Space Flight Center near Washington.
"There is a big sigh of relief we heard from Goddard all the way up here," reported Houston mission control.
Within an hour of the capture, the observatory was latched down in the shuttle's cargo bay, with its flexible solar arrays rolled up and ready for replacement Monday and Tuesday by two pairs of spacewalking astronauts.
Hubble program manager Preston Burch says a quick television view of the telescope shows no obvious physical problems have occurred since the last servicing mission in December, 1999. "It is always a very exciting time for us on the ground to see Hubble come into view from out in the distance as we approach it," said Mr. Burch, who pronounced the orbiting observatory "in excellent shape."
On Monday, astronauts John Grunsfeld and Rick Linnehan will venture outside the shuttle to replace Hubble's old port side solar array with a new one, a task to be repeated on the other side during Tuesday's second spacewalk by Jim Newman and Michael Massamino.
Unlike the old solar wings, the new ones are rigid, smaller, and more powerful, causing less drag on the observatory and providing enough electricity to power all of Hubble's instruments at once.
Later in the week, the astronauts will install a new generator to distribute the power, a new gyroscope to aim Hubble at its targets, and a new camera to boost the observatory's visual strength by 10 times. The visual improvement will allow it to see closer to the edge of the universe and, in essence, further back in time.
Shuttle managers gave Columbia's mission a reprieve on Saturday when they decided a problem with the cooling system was not serious enough to abort it. Debris in one of two redundant cooling systems reduced the flow of Freon refrigerant that dissipates orbiter heat during the excess atmospheric friction of launch and re-entry. But engineers decided the flow was sufficient and stable enough to allow the flight to continue.
Mission official Wayne Hale says the freon system is "doing very well," describing it as "rock solid."

The Gravity Diffusion system, or G-Diffusion, is an experimental power system used in starfighters that reduces gravity forces on the pilot and provides a respectable power source for shields and propulsion. The G-Diffuser system was created by John Tanaka, from the Galactic Federation and F-Zero game. However, due to the temperamental nature of the G-Diffuser, these systems need to be carefully checked and maintained; while easy to fix in flight, they can consume a pilots' full attention, something that kills pilots in a dogfight.
Possible explanations in real science
The G-Diffuser system appears to be a system intended to reduce the effects of gravity/acceleration on the pilot of an Arwing. The effects of this system might be duplicated by future advances in Zero-point Energy (ZPE) technology. ZPE is the so-called "background energy" of space, created by tiny pairs of particles that spontaneously appear in space as a result of Heisenberg Uncertainty. These particle pairs are theorized to cause electromagnetic drag on accelerating objects, resulting in the phenomenon that we know as inertia. Harnessing the Zero-Point Energy could result in a nearly limitless power supply as well as certain theorized antigravity/inertialess effects, coincidentally duplicating the action of the G-diffuser system.

By CHRISTOPHER CHYBA McClatchy-Tribune The Review of U.S. Human Spaceflight Plans Committee has now, after nearly five months of intensive work, delivered its final report to the Obama administration, Congress, and the American people. The 155-page report provides our country with options for the future of human spaceflight beyond low-Earth orbit. I served as a member of the committee, and am especially proud of the report for several reasons. First, the report makes clear that the key choice facing us is one of goals, not destinations. Too often the debate over human spaceflight becomes an argument over destination: Should we go back to the moon? Mars? But this risks choosing a destination first, then searching for reasons to justify that choice. At least in part, that is what went wrong with the International Space Station, a destination in low-Earth orbit that is still searching to explain its purpose. Instead, we need to decide on our goals for human spaceflight, and have the destinations flow from these goals. The committee concluded that human spaceflight serves a variety of national interests, but sending humans beyond low-Earth orbit has as its fundamental goal charting a path for human expansion into the solar system. This is ambitious, but if this is not our goal, we should restrict ourselves to destinations in low-Earth orbit. Human expansion into the solar system is a goal worthy of a great nation working in concert with other space powers. Second, the report insists on scientific integrity. Too often, human spaceflight has been justified with exaggerated claims about its scientific payoff. Exploration with astronauts can have significant scientific benefits in several areas beyond the tautological justification of studying what happens to humans in space. As was emphasized by scientists' testimony to the committee, astronauts have a tremendous advantage over robot spacecraft when it comes to field geology. Simply being able to pick up a rock, turn it over, expose a fresh surface with a hammer and then use geological expertise to decide whether to move on to another rock is a human capability that blows away what robot rovers can do. Similarly, the ability to service and repair space observatories that face unanticipated problems favors the astronaut over the robot. But astronauts are also far more expensive than robot explorers, and have their greatest advantage in the most complex environments and circumstances. Mars is the most complicated surface environment we will face, so it is where astronauts will provide the greatest advantage. But it will be decades before humans walk on that world, and for most other science in space, humans only get in the way. Worse, if NASA's space science budget is not protected, it can be raided to fund cost overruns in the human program. NASA's budget for science missions dropped by 30 percent in the six years prior to 2007. Human spaceflight needs to be aligned with national priorities. Cutting key space-based research, especially Earth climate observations, instead puts human spaceflight into opposition with those priorities. Third, the report calls for the government's space agency to concentrate on the hardest technological problems associated with our goals in spaceflight. For the rest, including sending astronauts into low-Earth orbit, the commercial sector should play a bigger role. The commercial sector should "fill in" behind NASA, while NASA spearheads exploration out into the solar system. One option for exploration is what the committee called "flexible path," a series of deep-space voyages of ever-increasing ambition and complexity that will build our capabilities over time. And finally, the report insists on budget and schedule reality. At our current budget for human spaceflight -- $99 billion over the next 10 years -- NASA cannot, in fact, do anything beyond low-Earth orbit. It can afford to pay for the new rockets and astronaut capsule that will replace the space shuttle and make it possible to journey outward, but not for systems to land on the moon or for operations on the "flexible path" to take astronauts to asteroids or to fly around Mars. In the past, there have been too many glorious images of our exciting future in space unmatched by the budget for a realistic path to that future. The committee's bottom line is that the United States should either provide a budget to do the job, or acknowledge that it is scaling back its ambitions in space.

On the night of September 18, Ukraine's Air Defense Forces shot down 17 enemy cruise missiles and 18 Shahed-136/131 kamikaze drones. In total, the Russian aggressor country launched 41 targets toward our regions.
Russian strike UAVs flew to Mykolaiv and Odesa regions, while missiles were neutralized over Dnipro, Poltava and Khmelnytskyi regions. The details of the attack were provided by the Ukrainian Air Force.
It is noted that on Monday night, the enemy attacked our country with Shaheds and X-101/X-555/X-55 air-launched cruise missiles.
The drones flew from two directions: Primorsko-Akhtarsk (Russia) and Cape Chauda (temporarily occupied Crimea). A total of 24 attack drones were spotted flying in the direction of Mykolaiv and Odesa regions.
"18 attack drones were destroyed by air defense along the route," the Armed Forces reported.
At the same time, the occupiers launched 17 X-101/X-555/X-55 missiles from eight Tu-95MS strategic bombers in the Volgograd region of the Russian Federation.
"All 17 were destroyed by the Air Force within Dnipro, Poltava and Khmelnytsky regions. Let's hold the sky! Together to victory!" the defenders of the sky said.
It is known that two cruise missiles were shot down over the Dnipro region on Monday morning. This was stated by the head of the regional military administration, Serhiy Lysak, who thanked the defense for the round-the-clock protection of the sky.
In the morning report of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, it was noted that since the beginning of this day, the Russian occupiers have launched a massive attack using cruise missiles and attack UAVs on the civilian infrastructure of Odesa region. Information on the consequences of this terrorist attack is being clarified.
As reported by OBOZREVATEL, on September 17, Ukraine's air defenders destroyed 12 of the 16 air targets that Russia used to attack the south of the country. In particular, air defense forces shot down six enemy missiles and six Shahed drones. Some of the targets landed in Odesa region.

In news: The Parker solar probe has detected a natural radio signal from Venus.
- The signal revealed that the probe passed through the upper atmosphere of Venus, collecting the first direct measurement of it in almost 30 years.
- The spacecraft uses the gravity of Venus as it swings around the planet, called a gravity assist, to help bend the probe’s orbit and bring it closer and closer to the sun.
- In July 2020, Parker Solar Probe’s WISPR instrument detected a bright rim around the edge of the planet that may be nightglow.
- The information gathered by Parker so far about Venus is helping scientists to understand why it’s so different from Earth, even though the planets are often referred to as twins.
- Unlike Earth, Venus doesn’t have a magnetic field and its inhospitable surface has blazing temperatures that can melt lead.
- The probe collected evidence that Venus’ upper atmosphere goes through some unusual changes that are influenced by the solar cycle.
- Earth and Venus both have an ionosphere and the plasma emits natural radio waves that can be picked up by instruments like Parker’s FIELDS.
- During the July 2020 flyby, the radio signal picked up by the FIELDS instrument helped the researchers to determine that the Venusian ionosphere is much thinner during solar minimum than it is during solar maximum.
Previous missions to explore Venus include NASA’s Pioneer Venus Orbiter from 1978 to 1992 and the European Space Agency’s Venus Express from 2005 to 2014, both of which orbited the planet.
Parker Solar Probe-
- It is the first-ever mission to “touch” the Sun.
- The spacecraft, about the size of a small car, travels directly through the Sun’s atmosphere.
- It was launched aboard a Delta IV-Heavy rocket from Cape Canaveral, on Aug. 12, 2018.
- In order to unlock the mysteries of the Sun’s atmosphere, the Probe uses Venus’ gravity during seven flybys over nearly seven years to gradually bring its orbit closer to the Sun.
- It is part of NASA’s Living With a Star program to explore aspects of the Sun-Earth system that directly affect life and society.
- The spacecraft and instruments are protected from the Sun’s heat by a 4.5-inch-thick carbon-composite shield, which needs to withstand temperatures outside the spacecraft that reach nearly 2,500 F.
- The primary science goals for the mission are to trace how energy and heat move through the solar corona and to explore what accelerates the solar wind as well as solar energetic particles.
It carries four instrument suites designed to study magnetic fields, plasma and energetic particles, and image the solar wind.

This video shows a helicopter crash in Afghanistan in 2022, not Pakistan
A video of a helicopter plunging into floodwaters has been viewed tens of thousands of times alongside a claim it was filmed in August 2022 in Pakistan's southwestern province of Balochistan. The footage circulated online after a Pakistani military helicopter crashed in the province, killing six officers onboard. But the video has been shared in a false context: it predates the Pakistan helicopter crash and has circulated in multiple news reports that state it was filmed in Afghanistan in January 2022.
The one-minute 13-second video has been viewed more than 56,000 times after it was posted here on Facebook on August 2, 2022.
The video shows a helicopter flying over vehicles submerged in floodwaters before crashing nearby.
The post's Urdu-language caption translates to English as: "Visuals of a helicopter crash near Winder near the shrine of Sassi Pannu."
Winder is a town in southwestern Pakistani province of Balochistan where a Pakistani military helicopter crashed on August 1.
The post circulated online after the helicopter went missing with six passengers and crew -- including one of the army's top commanders, Lieutenant-General Sarfraz Ali -- in southwestern Pakistan.
In a statement, the military said everyone on board the helicopter died in a crash, which it said was caused by bad weather, AFP reported here.
Many Facebook users appeared to believe the footage shows the military helicopter crash in Balochistan.
"May Allah accord a high status to martyrs: Amen," commented one Facebook user.
"May Allah make it easier for the souls of the deceased to transit to their final place," another wrote.
The video, however, has been shared in a false context.
Afghanistan helicopter crash
A reverse image search of the video's keyframes found it has been circulating online since January 2022 in reports about a helicopter crash in the Afghan province of Kandahar.
Indian media outlet Zee News included the video in a report about the helicopter crash published here on January 7, 2022.
The video's caption reads: "Taliban pilots crash MD-530 helicopter near Kandahar during training."
"It is the first helicopter crash after the recapturing of power by Taliban in Afghanistan. Taliban's untrained pilots crashed this helicopter," a reporter's voice says.
The Taliban seized power in Afghanistan in August last year following the withdrawal of US-led international forces.
Below is a screenshot comparison of the video in the false posts (left) and the Zee News report (right):
Indian news outlet Mojo News also used the same footage in this video report on YouTube on January 5, 2022.
The caption reads: "A Taliban helicopter crashed in Kandahar, while on rescue mission during floods."
The same footage was also posted by Afghan news agency Aamaj News on YouTube here saying it shows a Taliban helicopter crash in Kandahar.

Footage of another successful use of the Russian Lancet kamikaze drone appeared on the Web. This time, a Russian drone destroyed a Polish Crab self-propelled artillery mount.
The time and location of the attack are not specified, but it is clear that the defeat happened quite recently. Snow is clearly visible on the video footage, which has been continuously falling in the zone of the special military operation in recent days.
Apparently, the “Lancet” tracked down the Polish self-propelled artillery at the time of replenishment of ammunition. The timing for the attack is perfect. Together with the self-propelled gun, the ammunition transport vehicle was also hit.
As a result of the explosion and the subsequent detonation of ammunition, both vehicles were destroyed. In all likelihood, the crew of both vehicles was destroyed along with the equipment . In any case, the Ukrainian military had little chance of surviving after such an explosion.
The actions of the Russian Lancet kamikaze drones have recently acquired the scale of a disaster for the Ukrainian military. Russian drones have already destroyed tanks, S-300 anti-aircraft missile systems, and Giacint-B artillery pieces. And the Polish self-propelled guns “Crab” can be called a favorite target of Russian drones.
Recall that after the modernization, the Russian Lancet kamikaze drones got the opportunity to hit even heavily armored vehicles.

- A brewing war to set a mining base in space is likely to see China and Russia joining forces to keep the US increasing attempts to dominate extra-terrestrial commerce at bay, experts warn.
- The Trump Administration took an active interest in space, announcing that America would return astronauts to the moon by 2024 and creating the Space Force as the newest branch of the US military.
- “Unfortunately, the Trump Administration exacerbated a national security threat and risked the economic opportunity it hoped to secure in outer space by failing to engage Russia or China as potential partners,” says Elya Taichman, former legislative director for then-Republican Michelle Lujan Grisham.

^ Great advice if you have been driving a 172 around the pattern at a much higher airspeed than norms for the platform.
But for Mooney's...
Mooney's are an *on-speed* aircraft and will clearly let you and insurer know when excessively fast on final due to excessive float (overruns, porpoising & prop-strike due to trying to force the aircraft nose-low onto the runway) ...or your insurer/next of kin know when excessively slow. Systematically speaking, pilots who are flying Mid/Short body M20s are doing it at 100/90/80 MPH ("ish" +/- for weight). If that is incompatible with other aircraft that have a 20MPH lower stall speed and thus tighter patterns... there is one choice to avoid crowded pattern contention and that is the same thing that jets do... fly bigger pattern which allows both for airframe appropriate speeds and more gentle turns.
Making traffic and tower happy isn't killing Mooney occupants.. things like slow airspeed combined with higher rate base-to-final turns & departure stalls are definitely killing distracted pilots. So, you don't have new Mooney pilots staying off-speed in either direction for long periods as training and the laminar flow wing and slippery aerodynamics will respectively correct.... or tend to hand your wallet (possibly with your (_!_) attached) as corrective feedback. The only time that I can think of Mooney's en-masse going faster than the above mentioned speeds "in the pattern" is when they are not in the pattern and rather on an instrument approach and trying to keep 90Kts + on long-medium final for approach traffic flow compatibility.

After nearly 31 years of dedicated service to NASA, the remaining space shuttles used by it are being retired. And it couldn’t be done soon enough, for the whole idea of the space shuttle as a means of slashing costs for space launches and making space more accessible was doomed from the start. The reason: the way those vehicles were made in the first place.
There were four parts to each space shuttle at launch: the orbiter that most people think about as THE Space Shuttle, the two Solid Rocket Boosters (SRBs) , and the External Fuel Tank (EFT) . After the shuttles were launched, the SRBs would be jettisoned after a few minutes, and then the EFT, drained of its contents, would be jettisoned too just before the shuttle reached orbit. The SRBs would be recovered from the Atlantic Ocean by ships that would drag them back to Cape Canaveral to be used again; the EFT would simply fall back into the atmosphere to be burned up upon reentry.
Thus even though the space shuttle was supposed to be resuable, the actual largest part of it, the EFT, wasn’t! But no one seemed to notice that.
Of the five shuttle orbiters that were built (why so few?), TWO were destroyed! Those were the Challenger in 1986, and the Columbia in 2003. The first disaster was caused by the launching of the shuttle under extremely low temperatures, resulting in a failure of one of the SRBs. Leaking and burning gas from that SRB ignited the EFT, destroying the whole shuttle. The second disaster was caused by a small piece of the EFT hitting the wing of the orbiter, causing enough damage to make reentry too dangerous. In both cases, NASA administrators behaved so arrogantly that they ignored warnings made to them by engineers who knew the limits and risks of the shuttles. As a result of that stupidity, 14 people died needlessly.
If I had been the head of NASA in the 1970s, I would have rejected the proposed design that eventually came out. Instead, I would have insisted on the shuttle launching and landing as a single piece. I also would have demanded that the shuttle have the potential for interplanetary flights. In all the flights the real shuttles made, they NEVER went beyond Earth orbit, not even to the moon! Manned flights back to the moon and then to Mars, which the shuttle could have made possible, were not even considered!
The space program of the United States was ultimately ruined by the vast sums we spent on the Space Shuttle projects. It’s perhaps the most massive disappointment in all of American history!
P. S. I have a personal reason for writing this: I was told after the fact that Shuttle Commander Rick Husband, who died on the Columbia in 2003, was a distant cousin of mine, though I never met him. In any case I would have been proud to know him! But now it is too late. 😦

Mini Slide Show of the Sunset Helicopter flight out to the Canyon
Taking a helicopter flight out and over the Grand Canyon was the best way to see this amazing 'Great Wonder' of the world. It was a sunset flight and we were lucky enough to get front seats on the way out. These photos are in time order of the flight and are all taken out of the window of the helicopter. They turned out surprisingly well since we had a nice clear day. On the way back we flew partly over the 'Strip' to see the 'night lights from the air. It was fantastic. We landed for an early evening picnic, you can see from the photos.

BOEING 707-328C SERIAL 1417
Boeing 707-328C (c/n 19723) was part of a package of three obtained by the SAAF in 1986; from ex stock of Air France. This aircraft was the first aircraft to fly after 60 Squadron was reformed in 1986 and the Squadron documentation states that the first orientation flight took place on the 11 August 1986 at the hands of the then Officer Commanding of 60 Squadron, Colonel Viviers.
More significantly, this particular aircraft logged the longest operational flight ever made by a SAAF Boeing 707 when on 10 September 1988, the aircraft flew 11 hours and 30 minutes non-stop during an emergency flight from Cape Town to the South African SANAE base in Antarctica to drop urgently needed medical supplies.
Boeing 1417 also carried the South African flag with the SAAF’s first ever participation in an International Air Tattoo at RAF Fairford during July 1995. Boeing 1417 together with her crew won two of the 10 awards up for grabs in the Sky-tanker competition namely, the Spirit of the Meet Award and the Best Overall Ground Competition. Boeing 707 1417 made her final flight on 29 March 2001 and was confined to storage at 60 Squadron until the Squadron disbanded in 2007.
Before the scrap-man could lay his hands on the remaining 707’s languishing at Air Force Base Waterkloof, two keen Warrant Officers, namely Warrant Officer Class 1 Halstead and Warrant Officer Class II Alan Taylor, devised a grand plan to recover a front fuselage cockpit section of a Boeing 707 for posterity and display purposes, even though the SAAF Museum had already received an ex 60 Squadron Boeing 707, Serial 1419 during 2007. Aircraft number 1417 was selected and after delicate negotiations to secure the aircraft for the museum, plans were set into motion. 1 Aircraft Servicing Unit (1ASU) at AFB Waterkloof agreed to provide the critical technical assistance and equipment needed, because the front section of the aircraft had to be cut from the rest of the fuselage on site. The arduous and dangerous task to cut the aircraft from the rest of the fuselage was done by 1ASU within the course of two weeks. Special supporting jacks and cradles had to be devised to support the front part of the aircraft after its separation from the main body.
The fuselage was initially held into position by positioning a pair of straps around the belly of the aircraft that extended up to the rig of a crane. For its transportation from Waterkloof to Swartkop by low-bed trailer, great care had to be taken to avoid any overhead obstacles especially telephone and power lines, not to talk about the ever-present bridges spanning the route. Amidst a lot of tension the journey was safely made and all were relieved when the aircraft arrived at the Museum on Sunday the 18th of April 2010 and was moved into position at Zwartkop. The technical team from 1 ASU finally secured the aircraft into its cradle by attaching four welded support beams along the sides of the lower hull and sealed the rear of the fuselage section against the elements.
Both Warrant Officers were adamant that the aircraft would be utilised as a live exhibit. In order fort this to happen, the cockpit would have to be completely refitted with live instrumentation and audio-visual links to engage visitors. The remainder of the fuselage aft of the cockpit would be fitted out and utilised as a unique “Boeing” conference room where, by special appointment, meetings and conferences could be held in an absolutely unique environment that forms a distinctive part of the illustrious history of the South African Air Force.

Designed as a heavy assault transport helicopter for the Marine Corps, the initial Sikorsky Sea Stallion CH-53 Military Helicopter version of the Sikorsky S-65 was basically a considerably enlarged version of the S-61, but with a conventional fuselage instead of a boat hull. The dynamic parts – gearboxes, transmission and rotors – were based on those of the CH-54 (S-64) but with the main rotor having a titanium hub and folding blades. The type entered service with the Marines as the CH-53A Seas Stallion in September 1966. It could carry cargo internally and under slung, and the main rotors and tail folded for carrier operations.
The Air Force initially ordered eight for their Aerospace Rescue and Recovery Service, designated HH-53B, they later ordered an increased power variant as the HH-53C – both were named the Super Jolly Green Giant. In addition to a hoist, they featured provision for additional drop tanks and a probe for refueling form a -130 Hercules tanker.
In January 1967 four CH-53A Sea Stallions were deployed to Vietnam where they were used for the recovery tasks. By May they had already recovered 100 helicopters and their success was sealed. However, they could also be used for troop carrying, with the ability to accommodate 37 fully armed troops.
The Marines started taking deliver of 126 of the improved CH-53D from March 1969. With increased power, these were capable of lifting greater loads. In 1972 production of a specialized RH-53D commenced for the Navy. This was based on the standard CH-53 Sea Stallion Military Helicopter but up-engined and designed specifically for mine sweeping.
Although it initially looks the same, the CH-53E is a substantially reworked design. This variant is powered by three engines compared with the twin engines of the earlier models. The CH-53E Super Stallion was ordered by both the Marine Corps and the Navy. The Marines required it for the heavy lift capability to move equipment and recover downed aircraft, in addition to moving troops. It was a Ch-53E that rescued F-16 pilot Scott O’Grady after he was shot down in Bosnia in June 1995. The Navy CH-53Es are used in the combat support role. Their duties involve predeploying to a location from which they can fly urgently required freight to passing carriers. In addition the Navy operated the MH-53E Sea Dragon in the mine clearance role to replace the earlier RH-53Ds. They have enlarged sponsons containing additional fuel. These roughly triple the amount of the internal fuel, and increase the time on station.
The Air Force ordered 32 MH-53J Pave Low III, with extremely advanced navigation, terrain following radar and FLIR; they are used by Special Forces for long-range, low-level penetration into enemy territory to insert, extract or resupply SF teams. The type is armed with machine guns and is protected with armor plus flares and chaff. In 1999 the first MH-53M Pave Low IV was delivered to the Air Force. The further modified MH-53Js again have improved avionics and defensive aids.

Metal Improvement Company (MIC) works closely with OEM designers, engineers and maintenance teams to understand their specific design and operating criteria. We are then able to offer high quality and cost effective solutions to achieve the best results.
CONTROLLED SHOT PEENING
Component failure is often related to residual tensile stress induced during manufacture. Controlled shot peening is a cost effective and practical method of inducing beneficial surface residual compressive stresses which enhance the performance and extend the life of critical components preventing premature failure. Controlled shot peening is a cold working process where the component’s surface is bombarded with small spherical particles to yield the base material, relieving prior manufacturing stresses and inducing beneficial residual compressive stresses. This also reduces the effect of the applied load, thereby increasing the capability of the component to achieve longer life at higher loads.
Controlled shot peening is applied during original manufacture and it may be necessary during the lifetime of those components to re-introduce beneficial residual compressive stresses lost through corrosion, erosion, wear and potentially thermal or stress overload to the same specification as initially applied ensuring identical performance. MIC has specialist field crews who are able to perform on-site work at customers’ premises or in the field anywhere in the world to the same high quality standards as initially applied via fully mechanised or robotic processing.
SHOT PEEN FORMING
Shot peen forming is the preferred method of forming complex aerodynamic contours. This process is ideal for forming wing skins and empennage panels for even the largest aircraft. The effect of pressure from the peening process causes local plastic deformation that manifests itself as a residual compressive stress. This combined with the localised stretching causes the material to develop a compound convex curvature on the peened side. An extension of this approach will also correct the form of complex parts distorted during machining and/or heat treatment.
C.A.S.E (ISOTROPIC FINISHING)
C.A.S.E. superfinishing of components is critical in applications of metal to metal contact such as gears and bearings. The technique has been developed for surfaces that require both excellent bending and contact fatigue strength with enhanced surface properties to resist high loading. The process is generally applied after controlled shot peening to remove surface asperities resulting in improved performance and lubrication and reducing critical factors such as wear, micro and macro pitting, noise and operating temperatures.
Laser peening can introduce residual compressive stresses in all engineering metallic materials up to 10 times deeper than other conventional cold working techniques with virtually no surface disruption. This clean and extremely controllable process is a production tool providing significant benefits where product performance is critical. Laser peening offers designers the ability to surgically place residual compressive stress into key areas of components to retard crack initiation and growth, enabling increased fatigue strength ratings.
We provide a range of thermal spray coatings used to provide protection from high temperatures, oxidation and corrosion. It can also be used as a replacement for hard chrome plating. Components such as turbine blades can also be brought back to OEM specifications with the application of thermal spray coatings.
For many years we have been providing the aerospace and defence industry with a comprehensive range of coatings to enhance performance and extend the life of components. Selection of the appropriate coating can improve part life and reduce maintenance costs. Many of our coatings are qualified to aerospace and defence specifications.

Aerospace Studies (AFROTC)
Kent State University has participated in the Air Force Reserve Officer Training Corps (ROTC) since 1951. Men and women meeting the Air Force ROTC requirements may enroll in the program as cadets. After completing the program and graduating from Kent State, cadets receive commissions as second lieutenants in the United States Air Force.
In addition to your normal college coursework, Air Force ROTC courses and their hands-on leadership opportunities will complement your major and push you to make the most of your college life and your career. Taught by a world-class military faculty and supplemented by distinguished speakers, Air Force ROTC classes bring policy and history to life. Air Force ROTC curriculum is organized by aerospace class and separated into four major areas:
Profession of Arms
Gain knowledge in military officership, military law, laws of armed conflict and military customs and courtesies.
Cadets develop enhanced oral and written communication skills critical to military leadership.
Develop leadership and management skills through a better understanding of the different aspects and functions of military leadership.
AEROSPACE Studies/International Security Studies
Gain a better understanding of the nature of conflict and how the United States military forces, particularly aerospace forces, are developed, organized and employed.
The first two years of the Air Force ROTC four-year program, the General Military Course, consist of 1 hour of classroom work and 1 to 2 hours of leadership laboratory each week. The General Military Course is an opportunity for students not on an Air Force ROTC scholarship to try out the program with no obligation. After completing General Military Course requirements, if you wish to compete for entry into the last two years of the program, the Professional Officer Course, you must do so under the requirements of the Professional Officer Course selection system. This system uses qualitative factors, such as grade point average, unit commander evaluation and aptitude test scores to determine if you have officer potential. After selection, you must successfully complete a summer four-week field training unit at an assigned Air Force base before entering the Professional Officer Course. Once you’re enrolled in the Professional Officer Course, you must attend class 3 hours a week and participate in a weekly leadership laboratory (lasting from 1 to 2 hours).
In the Professional Officer Course, you apply what you have learned in the General Military Course and at field-training units. Students in the Professional Officer Course, conduct the leadership laboratories and manage the unit’s cadet corps. Each unit has a cadet corps based on the Air Force organizational pattern of flight, squadron, group and wing. Professional Officer Course classes are small with emphasis placed on group discussions and cadet presentations. Classroom topics include management, communication skills and national defense policy. Once you’ve enrolled in the Professional Officer Course, you’re enlisted in the Air Force Reserve and assigned to the Obligated Reserve Section. This entitles you to a monthly $300-$500 nontaxable subsistence allowance during the academic year.
General Military Course Requirements
The General Military Course is offered to freshman and sophomore students who meet the following minimum membership requirements:
- Enrolled in an accredited college that hosts or has a cross-town agreement with an Air Force ROTC detachment
- United States citizen (if on scholarship)
- In good physical condition
- Of good moral character
- Age 14 years or older – 17 years old to receive a scholarship
- Attend both the Aerospace Studies class and Leadership Lab each semester
The following credentials may preclude you from Air Force ROTC membership, but will not keep you from enrolling in an Aerospace Studies class:
- Conscientious objectors – one who has or had a firm, fixed and sincere objection to participation in war, in any form, or to the bearing of arms because of religious training or belief, which includes solely moral or ethical beliefs
- Present or former commissioned officers of the Armed Forces
- Those medically diagnosed with asthma or who have been prescribed Ritalin or any other medication for ADD and/or ADHD at any point in their life may be precluded from military service, but they may be waived depending on diagnosis and treatment
- Individuals on active duty with any military service – enlisted/warrant officers of Reserve or National Guard unless conditionally released
- Nonimmigrant students from nations not approved by the Department of State
- Students who do not or cannot meet required standards of weight, appearance, decorum, discipline and military performance
- Individuals who have dropped out of a previous officer training program (e.g., Officer Training School, United States Air Force Academy, etc.) but this may be waived depending on individual circumstances
- The In-College Scholarship Program (ICSP) is open to college freshmen and sophomores in any major. To be eligible to apply for the ICSP you must:
- Be a United States citizen by the end of the projected term of activation
- Meet the Air Force ROTC weight and body fat standards
- Pass the Air Force ROTC Physical Fitness Assessment
- Have at least a 2.5 cumulative college grade point average
- Pass a physical examination and be certified as commission-qualified by the Department of Defense Medical Examination Review Board
- Not already be a contracted scholarship recipient
- Meet the age, moral and other scholarship eligibility requirements for Air Force ROTC
All cadets may apply for a scholarship covering tuition, incidental fees, as well as providing a tax-free $300-$500 monthly subsistence and $900 annually for textbooks.
Many other scholarship opportunities exist for those who qualify, including partial room and tuition scholarships.
Base visits will give you a greater insight into the workings of an active Air Force installation, and more importantly, a better idea of what it is you’d like to do as an Air Force officer. You’ll be exposed to a variety of Air Force missions and see a broad range of officer career fields, tour the local sites and maybe even take a ride in an aircraft.
Take your Air Force ROTC experience up a notch by experiencing one of our summer programs during your summer break (between your freshman and sophomore year or either your junior and senior year). We have many programs to choose from; some are specific to certain academic majors, while others are only available to certain academic year groups. Visit our website or contact the department for more information to discover the great opportunities that these summer programs have to offer. In addition to the experience of a lifetime, you will receive the following:
- Travel to and from location
- Room and board
- Daily training pay
Cadets in the Professional Officer Course and scholarship cadets are called contract cadets. There is no service commitment until you are on contract. After completing all Air Force ROTC and academic degree requirements, contracted cadets accept a commission appointed by the president of the United States as a second lieutenant in the Air Force.
- Most cadets incur a four-year active-duty commitment
- Pilots incur a 10-year active-duty service commitment
- Navigators incur a six-year commitment
- The minimum service obligation for the Air Battle Management career field is six years. After your initial obligation, whether you remain in the Air Force or pursue a civilian career is up to you. Either way, Air Force ROTC is a great way to get an education and learn the skills you need to succeed in life.

The LIFE STAR critical care air medical transport service began operation in 1985 and is the only critical care helicopter in Connecticut. LIFE STAR operates two American Eurocopter BK-117 twin-engine helicopters 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. One aircraft is based on the rooftop helipad at Hartford Hospital in Hartford; the other is based at The William W. Backus Hospital in Norwich. LIFE STAR is available to all emergency/critical care patients within a 150-mile radius of its bases. LIFE STAR services all tertiary care centers within this response area, and approximately 1,500 patients are transported annually—more than 20,000 patients to date. LIFE STAR was recently reaccredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Medical Transport Systems (CAMTS), which is dedicated to improving the quality of patient care and safety of the transport environment or services providing rotor wing, fixed wing, and ground transport systems. Certification implies a high level of quality in the medical transport organization. The voluntary accreditation, which is for 3 years, is the result of a site visit and a thorough review of documentation for all aspects of the program, including education, safety, patient care, the quality assurance process, and aircraft maintenance schedules.
Each LIFE STAR helicopter is identical in the composition of its crew and capabilities and can transport two patients. The crew consists of a flight nurse, flight respiratory therapist, pilot, mechanic, and communication specialist. The inclusion of a flight nurse and flight RT on every flight is unique to LIFE STAR. The service does not utilize specialty teams for neonatal or intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP) patient transports, as the diverse knowledge base, critical thinking, and advanced skills of this team allow it to meet all medical challenges of the critically ill and injured patients transported by LIFE STAR. The LIFE STAR flight nurses hold licenses as RNs and also as Connecticut paramedics. They also hold at least one specialty certification (CEN, CCRN, or CFRN), and have 3 or more years of critical care experience upon hire. Each flight respiratory therapist is an RRT and EMT-B—EMT-P preferred—with at least 3 years of critical care experience. In addition, all medical crew members are required to have certifications in BLS, ACLS, PALS, and NRP.
|LIFE STAR transports a patient to a waiting ambulance.|
After undergoing a rigorous pre-employment screening process, new medical crew members participate in an extensive competency-based 6-month orientation and training program. This program includes clinical rotations comprising didactic training from attending physicians; flight transport shifts with a preceptor; competency training; and safety, equipment, patient population, and standard of practice orientation and training. The didactic portion of the medical crew orientation is developed based on areas of weakness identified during the assessment process. Candidates with extensive experience in specific areas such as neonatology, pediatrics, trauma, cardiology, and obstetrics may be administered an oral board type-examination to demonstrate competency with this knowledge set. During this didactic period, also, the orientee will begin flight observation shifts. These are strictly observational and are designed to add practicality to the didactic component. Based on assessment, each candidate will go to the adult and pediatric operating room to gain experience in endotracheal tube placement. All candidates are required to have 10 successful intubations in each week of OR experience. A total of 55 intubations should be performed while in orientation, 25 of which can be in the simulation center. The remainder can be performed in the OR, emergency department, or field. Ten intubations must be obtained prior to intubating on the aircraft during orientation. This number of intubations can be adjusted based on need and experience.
|The LIFE STAR helipad.|
In addition to receiving medical lectures, each candidate will receive lectures on aircraft safety, continuous quality improvement processes, basic survival, water survival, and air medical resource management. Air medical resource management was conceived to enhance the safety culture within the air medical industry by promoting team building and open, effective communication. This is a yearly requirement of all LIFE STAR disciplines. Each candidate will successfully complete procedures performed in an animal surgical skills laboratory, including needle cricothyrotomy, transtracheal jet ventilation, surgical cricothyrotomy, needle thoracostomy, chest-tube placement followed by open thoracostomy, pericardiocentesis, and escharostomies. Each candidate will be trained on LIFE STAR-specific equipment. This can occur during didactic training or preceptor training. The precepting of the flight crew members begins upon completion of these stages. If, at any time, the medical crew candidates fail to demonstrate adequate knowledge or skills competency, they will receive additional training/education to fill the deficit. Each precepting experience varies in length of time and is based on flight volume, as well as on input from the preceptor. The service monitors flight type (scene, interhospital, as well as diagnosis category) volumes to ensure that each candidate has been observed to be successful at all aspects of air medical transport before release from preceptorship. After each flight, a postflight debrief is filled out by the crew members, including the orientee. This debrief assesses the candidate’s clinical performance and communication skills during the flight. For a candidate to be cleared to fly independently, three tasks must be accomplished: 1) successful completion of an examination for each section of LIFE STAR’s standards of care; 2) successful completion of a series of patient care scenarios using the human patient simulator (HPS); and 3) successful completion of oral board examinations in neonatology, high-risk OB, cardiology, IABP validation, pediatrics, and trauma.
The LIFE STAR program uses a high-fidelity human patient simulator with real-time dynamic case moderation and progression to exercise clinical skills during initial orientation, in continuing education, and in high-risk, low-frequency (HRLF) cases. The HRLF cases are defined as those with a diagnosis of high-risk obstetrics, toxicology, neonatal, and difficult airway. The HPS experience is moderated by two senior flight nurses and two senior flight respiratory therapists, with more than 5 years of team-leader experience in this transport program and specialty training and experience in the HPS center, and by the director of the simulation center at Hartford Hospital, who has critical care experience and extensive HPS operational and technical experience. The Laerdal SimMan and Simfant provide full physiologic monitoring capabilities for NIBP; AB; heart rate; respiratory rate; Spo2; ETco2; temperature; lung and heart sounds; and central and peripheral pulses. Procedures such as oral and nasal airway procedures, both intra- and extra-glottic, surgical airway procedures, gastric intubation, and central venous access can be performed on the HPS manikins. The presentation for each case also includes prerecorded radio traffic for dispatch and en route patient information and a complete mock patient record. Staff receive a bedside report, perform a patient interview and assessment, provide on-site and en route care, and provide radio and bedside reports for the receiving center. Scenario-driven HPS sessions are recorded on DVD and include the use of objective evaluation tools for clinical performance and team interaction. For initial training, clinical staff orientees perform scenarios from clinical topics, including ACLS; PALS; NRP; cardiogenic shock; toxic ingestions; GI bleed; ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke; aortic dissection; MI; OB; neurotrauma; pediatric trauma, sepsis, and asthma; preterm labor; and IABP.
During the first year of independent practice, each new crew member must fly with another medical crew member who has more than 6 months of experience. Also during this time, candidates obtain performance reviews from their medical crew partners. Before they are released to fly with any other crew member, their discipline-specific leadership observes them during at least one flight shift. Each new crew member is paired with a mentor, a more senior crew member, to guide them through many of the logistical considerations involved in transport medicine.

Ongoing education is a mandatory integral part of the LIFE STAR flight team. Biweekly continuous quality improvement (CQI) meetings include flight/case review as well as other required topics. CQI is an ongoing cycle of evaluation, data collection, interpretation, and modifying the system to improve patient care. CQI is a never-ending loop, with the primary goal of improving the delivery of health care. Annual skills day is a requirement for the medical crew members, also. It validates use of all onboard medical equipment and competencies in specialty equipment and procedures such as IABP, ventriculostomy, ventilator management, central venous access, adult and pediatric intraosseous placement, and neonatal umbilical line cannulation. Along with the annual skills day, the medical crew members are required to complete an animal surgical laboratory to maintain proficiency in surgical skills. For recurrent training, clinical staff rotate through the HPS program twice each calendar year. One set of scenarios is drawn from clinical topics: toxicology (overdose, transfusion reaction), high-risk obstetrics (preeclampsia, eclampsia, preterm labor), and neonatal emergencies (septic shock, respiratory distress, congenital heart defects).
In addition, mandatory training for all LIFE STAR disciplines includes annual training on altitude physiology, stress management, survival training, and Safety Day. These requirements validate competency in the following areas: cockpit emergency procedures, fire suppression systems on board aircraft and helipad, hazardous material awareness, emergency engine shutdown, and emergency location transmitter procedures. In addition to aircraft safety meetings, all crew members attend emergency egress training. This teaches aircraft crew members who travel over water the knowledge and skills necessary to react to an aircraft-ditching emergency using the modular egress training simulator.
LIFE STAR’s comprehensive training program is designed to build on a medical flight crew’s continuing education to enhance their abilities and experience.

Cape Air vows to normalize flights soon
Tag: Cape Air, CNMI, FAA, Kanoa Resort
Andrew Bonney, Cape Air’s vice president for planning, joined the Saipan Chamber of Commerce general membership meeting yesterday at the Kanoa Resort to apologize publicly to the business community for the airline’s recent troubles.
Bonney, who was joined by other Cape Air officials and local staff, promised that the company is working hard on going back to normal operation. He pointed out that, when both its planes in the CNMI are operational, Cape Air has one of the world’s highest completion rates. Completion rate is the percentage of scheduled flights completed.
“What we are going through now, it does happen periodically, but it is out of the norm and that’s one of the things to keep in mind. [Cape Air] will go back to this very high percent completion rate [and] the great service we love to provide,” he said.
He also pointed out that adding a third plane to their Guam-CNMI route would result in an increase of $28 in fares.
“For us to bring a third airplane out there, you’d have to pay for it and so I broke down what it would cost to have a third airplane that was also just here in inventory but not fly online, as a spare. A brand-new airplane with the typical ridership we see here would cause the fares to go up by $28,” he said.
Scaling is at the core of the structural problem Cape Air faces in the area, according to Bonney.
He said their turboprop aircraft is most efficient for the relatively short trip distances here, noting that the area’s small market size also benefits from having high frequency.
“You need a relatively small aircraft because you don’t want to saturate the market with seats,” he said. “There aren’t just many other destinations to fly and add aircraft so you have better scaling when you have the inevitable scheduled maintenance routine.”
Cape Air has only one aircraft operating its Guam-CNMI route, with stretches of cancelled flights reported over the last months.
Its AT42 aircraft 834 is currently under scheduled maintenance. The other, 836, is scheduled for maintenance in the first quarter of 2015.
Of the two Cape Air planes, one is used as a “100 percent spare,” according to Bonney.
AT42 aircraft 834 is expected to “return in the near future,” according to Bonney, though a date was not specified.
“I can promise you we can have at least one aircraft operating here. There is no way we’re going to take the second one out,” he replied when asked if the 834 would be back before the first quarter of 2015.
He said the time for maintenance checks depend on “what is due,” noting where the airplane is and how many cycles and hours it has flown as factors.
“This one has been one of the longer checks that an aircraft will go through in its entirety cycle,” he said of 836.
He described the maintenance as more of a “structural inspection” where main airframes, spars, and panels are taken apart.
Bonney thinks the next check-up for 836 will be a lot faster because it went through a more significant check on its inspection three years ago.
He said they are hard at work for next year to get both aircraft back up.
“We know how important air service is, because in many of our 44 [destinations] they are islands like this where there is not a lot of great options,” he said.
When asked, he said he is not familiar with Rose Hocog’s petition, which called for local and federal inspection of Cape Air’s mechanical, safety and service issues.
“Cape Air works very closely with FAA. Safety is near and dear to our hearts. The reason we don’t operate the flights from time to time is to ensure that we have everything double and triple-checked. If it’s a petition asking for a safe airline, I’d sign it. The entire 1,000 employees of Cape Air would sign it,” he said.

Journal of Systems Engineering and Electronics
• CONTROL THEORY AND APPLICATION •
This paper investigates the finite-time attitude tracking problem for rigid spacecraft. Two backstepping finite-time sliding mode control laws are proposed to solve this problem in the presence of inertia uncertainties and external disturbances. The first control scheme is developed by combining sliding mode control with a backstepping technique to achieve fast and accurate tracking responses. To obtain higher tracking precision and relax the requirement of the upper bounds on the uncertainties, a second control law is also designed by combining the second order sliding mode control and an adaptive backstepping technique. This control law provides complete compensation of uncertainty and disturbances. Although it assumes that the uncertainty and disturbances are bounded, the proposed control law does not require information about the bounds on the uncertainties and disturbances. Finite-time convergence of attitude tracking errors and the stability of the closed-loop system are ensured by the Lyapunov approach. Numerical simulations on attitude tracking control of spacecraft are provided to demonstrate the performance of the proposed controllers.

Having experienced various sledge systems in aircraft recovery training AMS developed a sledge movement system with a unique hinge, specifically designed to tackle the widest range of terrain.
Our cost effective solution allows the sledge to articulate over rough and uneven surfaces without generating excessive hauling loads, thereby reducing the risk of irreparable damage to the sledge and secondary damage to the aircraft.
The uncomplicated design requires minimal operator training for assembly and maintenance, which means the sledge can be assembled on site without the need for specialised tools or equipment. This practical format allows the AMS Sledge Movement System to be quickly secured under the aircraft to help with rapid removal from the crash site.
Where required, Single Element Airbags can be used to provide an interface between the sledge and aircraft to act as an inflatable shock absorber; reducing the possibility of secondary damage to the aircraft.

2010 SEA Legislative Blitz in Washington, DC Join space advocates from around the country Feb 21-23 as we walk the halls of Congress and explain the importance of space exploration!
<< The Final Report of the “Review of U.S. Human Spaceflight Plans Committee”, better known as the “Augustine Commission”, was released at the end of October 2009.
In that report, entitled “Seeking a Human Spaceflight Program Worthy of a Great Nation”, the Commission found that NASA simply can not accomplish the goals with which it has been tasked and the resources which it has been allocated. On February 1, 2010, President Obama released his 2011 budget that invests an additional $6 billion in NASA over the next five years – an overall $100 billion commitment to the agency. The Presidential Budget also calls for the cancellation of the Constellation program, extension of the International Space Station, and increased usage of commercial launch providers among major shifts at NASA. More than ever before, it is absolutely critical that the voices of the space advocacy community be heard in the debate over the future of our nation’s space program. SEA will be calling upon Congress to ensure NASA is a compelling national priority. The Space Exploration Alliance is gearing up for its next “Legislative Blitz” in Washington, DC. This event will be held from Sunday, February 21, 2010 through Tuesday, February 23, 2010.

It's getting cold. I don't like cold. I was raised in the southern part of the United States and thus in a warm climate. Anything below 60 degrees is cold. Don't judge.
After digging out my long sleeve work shirt, long johns and gloves, I left for work yesterday.
Tuesday was a day off for me. I picked up a 2 1/2 hour turn on overtime. I used to not pick up such small amounts, but I would like a little gambling money for a cruise my family is taking next month.
The plane had been parked at the gate for an hour or so. It was "cold and dark" when I walked into the cockpit. Thankfully the GPU was plugged in and working as indicated by a green "Avail" light on the overhead panel. After making sure various switches (such as the landing gear handle, flap switch and others) were in the right positions, I turned on the battery master and then checked the electric synopotic page to double check that the external power was indeed connected and was supplying power appropriately. With a push of a button the plane and cockpit came to life.
It was cold Tuesday. Outside temp hovered in the low 40's with light rain. The temp was just inside of a limitation requiring cowl anti-ice to be used.
During the taxi out the Captain turned on the left cowl anti-ice and shutdown the APU. The rain was very light and not sticking to the ground, so we were able to use a single engine. If the rain had been heavier and thus contaminating the runway we would have had to use two engines.
Before long we were rolling down the runway. Captains leg. Passing 136 knots I called for V1. Away we went.
We entered the clouds and the temperature began to drop. As long as we are flying faster than 235 knots we only need cowl anti-ice. Reason being ice doesn't tend to adhere to the wings at speeds faster than 235 knots.
Cowl Anti Ice works by using hot bleed air from the engines back to front of each engine to melt/prevent ice inside the cowls.
When the Cowl Anti Ice is active it reduces the available thrust as there is a higher demand for bleed air. It's very noticeable during a climb, not so during cruise and very noticeable during the descent.
There were reports of rime icing between 16,000 and FL200. We never noticed ice formation. The windshields on my plane are heated (for ice as well we to protect the glass from cracking). In order to check for ice I simply check the the condition of the windshield wipers as they are not heated.
Being overtime for both the Captain and I, we wanted to make as much money as possible. I am paid "block or better" meaning the scheduled flight time or actual, whichever is greater.
On the flight out we had a 65 knot tailwind. Even flying at just Mach .75 we were 10 minutes early. This was due to the tailwind and the leg being over blocked.
During my leg back we left 5 minutes early. I climbed at the planned 290 knots. Leveling off at FL240 (normally FL300 but turbulence was moderate above FL260) I planned to fly at Mach .75 which equated to about 310 knots indicated. The 65 knot tailwind was now a headwind. As soon as we leveled off ATC slowed us down to 250 knots. This was great for us as we hoped to make a few extra bucks by arriving after scheduled arrival time.
On the arrival are various speed and altitude restrictions. I have flown this arrival more so than any other. But it's been a while since I've flown it during the winter.
We were in the clouds from FL210 down to 11,000 feet. With the cold temps and the slow speeds on the arrival, the cowl's were on. I used the flight spoilers a bit (thrust levers were idled) in order to meet two of the restrictions. Normally I am able to simply idle the engines and meet the speed and altitude restrictions.
Descending out of 10,000 feet I can normally dial in 1700 feet per minute down and hold 250 knots. Not so with the cowls on. The STAR required 210 knots. Anything more than 1000 feet per minute was exceeding 210 knots. I needed drag.
Initially I called for flaps 8. I put the plane in descent mode at 210 knots. This was only giving me 1300 feet per minute. Descent mode can be a little wonky. The plane will pitch up and down to meet whatever speed is set. There is a little more to it than that, but that is the basic operation.
I could "see" what the controllers plan was on the TCAS. There was a plane 5 miles ahead at 5000 feet that was just turned for a base turn. I had 4000 feet to knock off and somewhat quickly. Out went the flight spoilers. Not fully...just partially.
Then came a call to reduce speed to 180 knots. It's go down OR slow down. Not both.
I put the plane back vertical descent mode at 500 feet per minute and called for flaps 20. Once slowed to 180 knots I increased the descent rate.
Passing through 6000 feet ATC turned us toward the airport on a base turn.
"Airport in sight, " I advised and the Captain passed it on to the approach controller. "Cleared for the visual,".
The ILS was dialed in. By 1400 feet I was at flaps 45 and slowing to approach speed. Still light rain and near freezing temps.
When it's not cold, 60% N1 will hold approach speed almost regardless of landing weight. With the cowls still on, that was too much power.
Everything worked out to a decent landing. A passengers even stuck his head into the cockpit door during deboarding to thank us for the nice landing.
The planned block time was 2 hours 25 minutes. I flew 2 hours 20 minutes. Eh..I got paid for 5 minutes I didn't really work. Kinda.
As many know I don't get paid my hourly wage during the pre-flight or post flight. The only time I get paid when the cabin door is closed AND the parking brake has been released. In all I was at work for 3 hours and 55 minutes and was paid for 2 hours 25 minutes. Still not bad. More money than I would have if I stayed at home.

Wow! What an amazing day I had today flying! I’ve been waiting to do my long Cross Country flight for a couple of weeks now due to weather. Today the weather gods smiled upon me and I got an amazing amount of flying in. The plan for the day was to take off out of Puyallup (KPLU) Thun Field, cross over McChord AFB, hang a left at Anderson Island, overfly Olympia (KOLM), overfly Centralia/Chehalis (KCLS), hang a right over Kelso (KKLS) and follow the Columbia River to Astoria, Oregon (KAST). After landing at Astoria, I would stretch my legs, then hop back in the plane for a trip to Hoquiam, land there, stretch my legs and finally head back to Pierce County, Thun Field skirting around the Rainier Military Operations Area (MOA) to the South, overflying Eatonville airport on the way. My flight was scheduled for 12:00PM and I had … Read More
First Solo Cross Country Flight!
Today marked another milestone in my journey to become a private pilot. Today I did my first solo cross country flight. No I didn’t fly from Washington to Florida. A cross country flight is defined as a flight that is more than 50 nautical miles from your home airport. This is a pretty big deal. This is where you really put all your skills to the test. Can you successfully navigate from your home airport to another airport dozens of miles away using all the skills you’ve learned so far? Of course you have to know how to takeoff, fly and land the plane. It seems as though that’s all you’ve been practicing for weeks. But can you use pilotage and dead reckoning? Can you navigate the dozens of frequencies on the radio you’ll need to get from point A to point B? How about using the E6-B flight computer … Read More
Really REALLY Solo!
So as I mentioned, I soloed on August 21st! And yes, that means I flew a plane ALL BY MYSELF! I’m still surprised by the number of people that still think that soloing means that your instructor is in the plane, but just doesn’t do anything. Nope, it’s just you and the airplane all alone. It’s a feeling I’ll never forget and it’s pretty darn incredible! But after you solo, you’re only about half way through flight training. There’s still a lot to do and you’re not only on your own after that. My last blog post was about my breakthrough. Finally getting my landings down to the point where my instructor is confident enough in me to let me go to the airport and just rent the plane and go flying. Do you remember when you first got your drivers license and you were free to just go anywhere … Read More
Break On Through…Signed Off For More Airports!
So I haven’t written much in my Blog lately… I’ve been super frustrated with my flight training as of late. I soloed on August 21st, then promptly went on a weeks vacation. By the time I flew again, it had been two weeks since that epic day. The day I did fly, the winds were pretty strong, I was flying with an instructor I had never flown with, and had a horrible day. I was really discouraged. I did a couple more flight lessons, and then my instructor and I did a day of nothing but laps in the pattern, my first three takeoffs and landings were great. So my instructor hopped out, and I was soloing again. Super excited about it! Finally getting to fly by myself again! My takeoff was great, my pattern was great, my landing… Excuse my French, sucked ass. I bounced three times, should have … Read More
Just Call Me “Wog”… With VIDEO!!!
Well today was finally the day! My first solo flight! The day started out rather discouraging. The automated weather at Thun Field (KPLU) is still out, so we’re still going on best information we have available to determine what the weather is doing, which usually means checking the METAR and TAF at McChord Field on JBLM. They were reporting Marginal VFR conditions with the ceiling between 1,800 and 2,000 feet. Pattern altitude at Thun is 1,500 feet, but being a student pilot I need to maintain at least 500 feet of vertical separation from the clouds, which means the clouds need to be at a minimum 2,000 feet. I arrived at the airport at 9:30 for my 10AM flight lesson. I checked the gas and the oil in the plane and began my weight and balance calculations. Since the automated weather was out, AND I REALLY wanted to fly, I … Read More
One Step Closer to Solo…
Well since POTUS was in town today, that meant no flying for me! Thanks Mr. President! But it didn’t mean I couldn’t do anything aviation related. I’ve been working on my presolo written exam for a couple of weeks off and on. I decided to finally finish it today and review it with my instructor. So we spent an hour or so going over the last few questions we didn’t get to review on Sunday and then I got my first Log Book Endorsement!! “Presolo aeronautical knowledge: 61.87(b) John E Hurlbut has satisfactorily completed a presolo written examination demonstrating knowledge of the portions of Parts 61 an d91 applicable to student pilots, the airspace rules and procedures for Pierce County/Thun Field/KPLU, and the flight characteristics and operational limitations for a Cessna 172” I have another flight lesson scheduled for Thursday morning, but I seriously doubt that will be solo day. … Read More

Consumer drones are here, and they are super rad. Just look how much fun this guy on the right is having!
Whether you just got a drone for Christmas or you plan to fly one in the new year, you should familiarize yourself with the rules that will not only keep you and others safe, but also out of trouble with the law.
We took a look at some of the guidelines — from the Federal Aviation Agency (FAA) and the Academy of Model Aeronautics (AMA) — and narrowed down seven things you absolutely must know before flying a drone for the first time.
Of note: these are not the only guidelines proposed by the FAA or the AMA, but these are the ones most likely to keep you from hurting yourself or others. Oh, and to keep you from getting arrested.

The market for flying cars, now known as electric air taxis, should continue to mature during this decade, soaring to $1.5 trillion globally by 2040, according to a Morgan Stanley Research study.
Air taxis are vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) aircraft that use electric motors instead of jet engines. Designed to avoid the need for long runways, they have rotating wings and, in some cases, rotors in place of propellers.
Driving this trend is a confluence of technologies, including autonomous vehicles such as drones and self-driving cars, more efficient batteries and advanced manufacturing techniques.
It’s a market that should continue to mature during this decade and then boom globally. The autonomous urban aircraft market may be worth $1.5 trillion by 2040, according to a Morgan Stanley Research study. Another urban air mobility (UAM) study, by Frost & Sullivan, sees air taxis beginning in 2022 in Dubai and expanding with a compound annual growth rate of about 46% to more than 430,000 units in operation by 2040.
The business has the potential to significantly disrupt the landscape of urban mobility, and investors are pouring millions into commercialization efforts.They are attracted to the fact that electric air taxis have the potential to lower operating and maintenance costs dramatically.
Start-ups and major brands are developing them, including Astro Aerospace Ltd., United Airline, Hyundai, and Uber.
Astro Aerospace Ltd. (OTC: ASDND) is the ONLY public pure play company globally that has a functioning technology in a working, full-scale prototype.
ASTRO’s vision is “Flight Made Easy”, to build and distribute the safest, most reliable and efficient autonomous, electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) vehicles for the world market.
ASTRO’s mission is to create and distribute eVTOL aircraft that are safe, accessible, affordable and user-friendly.
The company’s solution is to commercialize our technology and sell it to the government and private sectors, so that it can be used for military operations, search and rescue, commercial deliveries, sight-seeing, personal flight, and more.
Currently, ASTRO has a working prototype that features a carbon fibre shell, and 16 independent rotors to enable flight. In the cockpit is a touch control system, allowing pilots to fly manually or switch to autonomous mode. Though there’s no confirmed release date as of yet, ASTRO foresees the vehicle to be used across a variety of industries – from personal, to agricultural to military uses and many in between.
United Airlines (NASDAQ: UAL) is set to purchase 200 flying vehicles from Archer as part of a wider investment in carbon footprint-reducing technologies.
Announced on Wednesday, the US airline said that Archer’s electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft could be used as air taxis in “urban markets” such as for ferrying passengers to and from planes airside.
Under the terms of the deal, United will partner with Mesa Airlines to operate the 200-strong future fleet, which will “give customers a quick, economical and low-carbon way to get to United’s hub airports and commute in dense urban environments within the next five years.”
Uber (NYSE: UBER) is working on a flying car with Hyundai, the first automaker to buy into Uber’s dream for a network of air taxis dotting the skies of major cities.
The two companies outlined their partnership Monday at the CES technology conference and plan to show off a full-scale model of the vehicle this week on the trade show floor in Las Vegas. Hyundai’s aerial taxi would be able to take off and land vertically, accommodate four passengers and cruise at up to 200 miles per hour. It would be fully electric with a range of 60 miles.

Flight cancellations. Delays. Stranded passengers. And, in more extreme conditions, enough turbulence to put passengers and crew at risk.
Ice buildup creates several different issues for airlines and aircraft operators. When ice accumulates on the wings or fuselage, it can change the geometry of the surface to create more drag and less lift. It also adds weight and makes it more difficult for the aircraft to maintain altitude.
In the aerospace industry, it’s common practice to mitigate ice buildup before takeoff and after landing — the process is called de-icing. It involves the use of chemicals and needs to be done repeatedly to ensure aircraft are ready to take flight.
De-icing may be the industry standard, but it comes with caveats. Some industry players have been looking forward to the advent of a new solution that would streamline the ice mitigation process for airlines and create a value-added offering for manufacturers in the industry.
“There’s both a cost savings play and a sustainability play for this type of technology to deliver to the entire value chain."
What will it take to break the ice? With the right methodology and rigorous testing, icephobic coatings are poised to become the next big breakthrough in ice mitigation technology.
Landing the cold open
In the aerospace industry, ice buildup causes issues from a safety perspective and an efficiency standpoint.
“You could potentially get into unsafe situations if you don’t have the ability to take flight as quickly or as easily as you should,” says Shiona Stewart, Industry Marketing Manager for Transportation, Industrial, Furniture and Floor Coatings at BASF. “Ice can either block the movement of the wings or interfere with the plane’s ability to take flight.”
Ice buildup or icing can add significant weight to an aircraft’s frame, causing increased stall speeds, drag, and compromised air flow over the wings.
To prevent the effects of icing, the aerospace industry de-ices aircraft. The process typically involves a chemical called propylene glycol, often combined with other ingredients such as corrosion inhibitors, surfactants, wetting agents, and dye. The fluid is usually diluted with water, heated, and then sprayed onto the aircraft.
“De-icing is a temporary treatment of the plane body that basically prevents ice from building up in between trips,” Stewart notes.
“Temporary” is the key word. Unlike de-icing, which has to be done repeatedly to prevent ice-buildup, an icephobic coating theoretically eliminates ice formation on the coated structure. As a more permanent solution, icephobic coatings could reduce the frequency of de-icing or, ideally, remove the need for it altogether.
That means less downtime on the runway, fewer delays, and more happy passengers on commercial airlines.
“There’s both a cost savings play and a sustainability play for this type of technology to deliver to the entire value chain,” Stewart adds.
By removing or eliminating the need for de-icing, aerospace companies stand to save money on de-icing spray — and soften their environmental footprint by reducing the amount of chemicals released into the atmosphere.
Icephobic technology sounds promising on many levels, but the proof is in the pudding. To make those promises a reality, BASF is exploring multiple paths to develop a viable solution for the aerospace industry.
Three approaches, one direction
The Dispersions and Resins division at BASF aims to create either an additive that will produce an icephobic coating or further enable their resin technology to have a more robust icephobic function within the coating itself.
Their team is exploring three different approaches to make that happen.
The first approach is a super hydrophobic resin technology that will ultimately lower the potential for ice to adhere to the coating surface. With that methodology, the water will bead up and become less adherent to the aircraft’s surface.
“If you can get to a super hydrophobic energy level, you will actually have a high contact angle and water will basically leave the surface at a very low roll-off angle,” says Andrew Recker, Technical Service Specialist for Formulation Additives at BASF.
A super hydrophilic approach, by contrast, would make the coating much more polar. This second approach involves having the water run smoothly away from the surface quickly without beading up, so water beads don’t have the opportunity to freeze.
“The water is basically removed from the surface at any significant angle from a horizontal surface,” says Recker. “That’s been seen to have some potential — high potential at that.”
A super hydrophilic coating would protect against several different types of ice, including frost, rime, ice rain, and even snow, even though each one has a slightly different mechanism to adhere to surfaces.
The third and perhaps the most unique approach involves trying to depress the freezing point at the surface of the coating. When different molecules in this system react at the surface, they will be self-stratified in the coating. They will then disrupt hydrogen bonding at the surface, which can depress the freezing point by a few degrees.
If the third approach is successful, Recker says, “That may be all you need. You have a thin layer of water that allows for any significant type of ice, snow, or frost buildup to basically slide off the substrate due to that thin water lubricant interface.”
Due to exacting safety standards in the aerospace industry, BASF will be testing each method thoroughly to make sure they confer the best possible benefits to the end user.
Reaching the end of the ice age
Though BASF is currently focused on aerospace applications, Stewart says icephobic technology could also find applications in the marine market.
“When you’re out on a ship in freezing temperatures, the water that gets exposed to the deck surfaces could be problematic from a safety standpoint.” She adds that the process of mitigating ice formation on topside decks can be labor-intensive, and the marine industry could benefit from a similar type of icephobic system to the one BASF plans to use in the aerospace market.
“There’s a lot of potential for this type of technology,” says Stewart. “We’re really quite excited about where we can take it.”
The technology may also have utility in consumer markets, such as gutter and roof coatings. In those cases, an icephobic coating could help to reduce ice blockages in gutters and ice buildup on roofs.
Another possible application is the power market. For instance, ice buildup can cause maintenance issues with wind turbine blades and motors. It can also lead to power outages and breakages with power lines and towers. Icephobic coatings could potentially reduce the need for expensive repairs in these situations.
“We have some exciting technologies in play,” says Stewart. “Ultimately the success we have in the immediate market segments we’re targeting should spill over into adjacent markets that really are impacted by an unsafe environment due to ice.”
She adds that once the BASF team identifies the best pathways to bring icephobic technologies to market — and works with manufacturers to ensure the systems are compatible with the formulations they’re going into — the system will be better positioned to expand from aerospace applications to many other markets.
“There’s a lot of potential for this type of technology. We’re really quite excited about where we can take it.”

Space Museum introduces the small bodies in the solar system
In late August 2006, the International Astronomical Union passed a resolution to strip Pluto of its planetary status. As a result, only eight planets were left in the solar system, together with other small members, including asteroids, comets, dwarf planets and trans-Neptunian objects.
Those who wish to learn more about the solar system should not miss the latest Sky Show, "Small Solar System Bodies", which is running at the Hong Kong Space Museum until May 30, 2007. It traces the discovery of these small members and explains how astronomers study these extremely remote and small celestial bodies.
Though the total mass of all these small members of the solar system is less than 1% of the total mass of all major planets, their numbers greatly exceed that of the major planets. Astronomers estimate there may be hundreds of thousands of small members orbiting the Sun. However, the largest one is less than 3,000 kilometres in diameter.
These small bodies may look unimportant, but they may have a significant impact on life on earth. They may have led to the disappearance of certain life forms on Earth and brought about water and life to our planet. Comets, for example, may have sparked life on earth while asteroids, colliding with the Earth, may have brought about drastic climate change that led to the extinction of dinosaurs. The study of these small bodies helps us understand the past, and maybe even the future, of humankind.
The 40-minute Sky Show "Small Solar System Bodies" will be screened daily at 2.40pm and 6.10pm at the museum's Stanley Ho Space Theatre. There will be an additional screening at 11.10am on Sundays and public holidays. The Space Museum will close at 5pm on Christmas Eve and Chinese New Year's Eve. It is closed on Tuesdays (except public holidays) and the first two days of the Chinese New Year.
Tickets are available at the Space Museum Box Office and at all URBTIX outlets for $24 (front stalls) and $32 (stalls). Full-time students, senior citizens and people with disabilities will receive a half-price concession.
The Space Museum is located at 10 Salisbury Road, Tsim Sha Tsui, Kowloon. For further information, call 2721 0226 or visit the website at http://hk.space.musuem

What Are The 5 Hazardous Attitudes During Aeronautical Decision Making
Aeronautical decision-making is usually taken in a very unique environment of aviation. While making any decision a systematic approach is followed and the mental process that is used by pilots is to consistently decide the best action in response to under given circumstances. Here a pilot will like to do as per the latest information that he has with him.
We will discuss this subject in a brief manner in this short writeup and to find more info you may visit the website of Flight Literacy to know in more detail.
A good pilot generally is very decisive as he has to take an appropriate decision during the prevalent situation. However, this does not imply that the pilot will take a snap judgment that is based on the very first impressions.
Instead, such a kind of aeronautical decision-making process has to be taken after weighing all the available information that a pilot has got on his hand. It will be the process where the pilot will be combining his professional judgment, experience, and also input from various other crew members, along with data obtained from onboard systems.
While from moment to moment, the circumstances may often change, and with more information it is possible that the scenario can totally shift too, hence the pilot who is in command must have the necessary capability to balance all those information to render his decisions on a professional level.
For the safety of aviation, good aeronautical decision-making will be very essential.
5 hazardous attitudes during the aeronautical decision making
While offering training to pilots, the Federal Aviation Administration has identified the following 5 dangerous thought processes:
Often a few pilots may be a little resentful towards authority and end up using their own judgment instead of what they are instructed to do. They tend to believe more in their own judgment. However, all regulations and procedures are very well thought out decisions and that should never deviate.
If the pilot reacts solely based on the spur of that moment and tends to think that they are above the rules. Such an attitude is very hazardous and can often result in real danger not only for the pilot but for others too. Good pilots always know that they should respond, and not react.
If a pilot tends to think that nothing will ever happen to him then he may quickly lead into dangerous conditions. While confidence and experience are certainly important but thinking of oneself totally impermeable to accidents may lead to risky behavior.
· I can do anything
Having a positive mindset is surely very important and if you are not positive enough then you cannot sustain it for long as a pilot. However, that does not mean you become overconfident. If pilots suffer from such an attitude then often they put themselves in hazardous conditions.
During an emergency, submitting simply to the situation and panicking can be dangerous. Pilots having a sense of self-worth knows that they can always make a difference as their training, experience, are valuable.

Flight Passenger Captures What No One Was Supposed to See…
A lot of us enjoy traveling and visiting new places while some of us frequently travel as part of their means of living.
Billions of people travel by plane each year but many are still terrified of flying. Although flight safety keeps improving all around the world, it’s understandable that some of us still fear an unforeseen accident occurring while traveling midair. Want to make money online?
The actual odds of being involved in a plane accident is about 1 in 11 million but the fact that the possibility is never zero still unnerves most people.
But you see, a faulty engine isn’t the only terrifying thing you can experience on a plane. Want to make money online?

Aerofly FS 2021 Flight Simulator
Aerofly FS 2021 MOD APK v20.21.19 (Full Paid/Unlocked)
|Name||Aerofly FS 2021|
|Update||Aug 4, 2022|
|Get it On|
Aerofly FS 2021 is the latest version of Aerofly FS, a series of aircraft simulation games developed by IPACS. Aerofly FS 2021 is designed for both beginners and experienced pilots. The game offers a series of text-based instructions to help you understand the process to take the plane into the sky, steer it on the correct flight path, and land safely.
Next, the game offers you a Boeing 747 Jumbo Jet. You can use it to practice flying by completing passenger transport missions. This will give you experience and bonuses.
Aerofly FS 2021 – realistic flight experience
Aerofly FS 2021 has a detailed cockpit, and this is where you feel like flying on a real plane. In first person view, you will be moved inside the cockpit. You can see the radar system, the control system, the engine starter so that the plane can take off. Next to it is a joystick to adjust the flight direction. Of course, you can also enable the device’s tilt function for navigation instead of using manual control.
The flight path system is also modeled in detail. It requires you to follow aviation regulations, use radar to track other routes, detect obstacles, and fly along the route. Otherwise, you will delay your flight or cause an accident. In this case, the system will reduce your reward.
More than 300,000 square miles can be flown in the Aerofly FS 2021, according to the developer’s description. This means that the map of this game is huge. You can explore new lands and airports around the world.
The first thing you should pay attention to is the airport zones. You will start and end your flight at simulated reality airports. Each airport has different terrain, aircraft densities and flight paths. If you are flying a Boeing 747 or Boeing 777, you may have difficulty approaching some small and narrow airports.
The terrain in the game is also beautifully designed . During the flight, you can switch to a third-person camera to see landscapes, clouds, forests, green steppes and high mountains.
You can build and manage over 20 realistic aircraft models. Aircraft characteristics affect their maneuverability. Helicopters take off and land quickly and easily. But the giant Boeing has a long way to go before the jet engine picks up enough speed to take to the skies. It is these small details that make Aerofly FS 2021 one of the most authentic flight simulators.
Simulators are loved by many players, especially since there are so many of them that everyone can choose something of their own. But when it comes to realistic simulators, everything is somewhat more complicated here, since it is quite difficult to find high-quality ones among them. Therefore, it is worth studying the reviews of other players more often, and if you have been looking for a good aviation simulator for a long time, you will definitely be recommended to download the Aerofly FS 2020 game for free first.
This is a real training ground for future pilots, where you can try to fly a variety of aircraft and aircraft models. True, there are no military and cargo aircraft here, only passenger ones, but this does not diminish the interest of the game at all.
You have to not just soar in the sky on different winged machines, but carefully monitor all the sensors and their indicators, as well as pull the steering wheel towards you in time to properly land or lift the plane into the air.
Be careful that each new aircraft will be different from the previous one, so you have to adapt to the control of each of them. And when you get used to the controls, do not forget to look around, because the views here, decorated with the change of day and night, are really magnificent.
To better understand how to properly handle a wide variety of aircraft, you will have tasks. Pass the task – you get experience and money, which you can then spend.
You need to go through an entire flight school, more than 200 different airports with a variety of aircraft and runways. The sensors in this game are close to reality, and the controls make you feel the full weight of the aircraft when you control it. Therefore, this game will be appreciated by both beginners and professionals.
Mods and cheats
Aerofly FS 2020 Mod everything is open, you can afford to buy any aircraft and other items in the store inside the game.
Aerofly FS 2020 hack is only available for Android smartphones and tablets. You can also run it on iOS. And on PC it is available with an Android emulator.
Advantages and disadvantages
Players praised the quality of the graphics and the detailed elaboration of this simulator, which creates the complete impression that you are going through some kind of real training simulator for pilots. However, professional pilots themselves noted that this game is close to reality, so you can trust your impressions. And here you can download Aerofly FS 2020 for Android for free.

Well Week 6 of my #NASAIntern is almost half complete. I knew this experience would go WAY too fast.
Since the last post we’ve demoed one of the projects I’ve been working on and it was received well. People are already using it to gather historical Space Station telemetry data orders of magnitude quicker. To be fair the base portion of the app was accomplished by the great work of the interns that came before me. Thank you for leaving with a great base upon which to build.
The Interns and Co-ops also had the honor of meeting and having a picture taken with the crew of International Space Station Expedition 40 (http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/station/expeditions/expedition40/). I also was honored to meet and chat for a bit with European Space Agency Astronaut of German descent Alexander Gerst. What a pleasure!
Time to iron clothes for today and then off to the “office” – one of the best jobs in the world!
Later y’all 🙂

The Boeing B-52 Stratofortress is an American long-range, subsonic, jet-powered strategic bomber. The B-52 was designed and built by Boeing, which has continued to provide support and upgrades. It has been operated by the United States Air Force (USAF) since the 1950s. The bomber is capable of carrying up to 70,000 pounds (32,000 kg) of weapons,and has a typical combat range of more than 8,800 miles (14,080 km) without aerial refueling.
The B-52 has been in service with the USAF since 1955. As of June 2019, 58 are in service, 18 in reserve, and about 12 in long-term storage.The bombers flew under the Strategic Air Command (SAC) until it was disestablished in 1992 and its aircraft absorbed into the Air Combat Command (ACC); in 2010, all B-52 Stratofortresses were transferred from the ACC to the new Air Force Global Strike Command (AFGSC). Superior performance at high subsonic speeds and relatively low operating costs have kept them in service despite the advent of later, more advanced strategic bombers, including the Mach 2+ B-58 Hustler, the canceled Mach 3 B-70 Valkyrie, the variable-geometry B-1 Lancer, and the stealth B-2 Spirit. The B-52 completed sixty years of continuous service with its original operator in 2015. After being upgraded between 2013 and 2015, the last airplanes are expected to serve into the 2050s.
