The company carried out a test dispatch of the parcel from Kiev to Kharkiv and back, with the parcel leaving the airfield at 07:00am and arriving in Kharkiv at 12:00pm. The return flight was also completed in five hours.
Oleksandr Bulba, CEO of Nova Poshta, said, “For the first time in the world, a UAV with a parcel has flown a distance of 480km. No other logistics company has yet dared to do this other than Nova Poshta. We plan to reduce the flight time to three hours and scale the drone delivery service, making it available to most customers.”
Developed and supervised by Ukrainian technology firm Aerodron, the package was delivered directly to the airfield from the sorting office, where it was loaded into a special compartment on the drone.
The UAV was monitored by an operator who could take control of the device in case of an emergency. For additional safety, the drone had been fitted with a parachute and was accompanied by an additional aircraft during testing.
The next test flight to Lviv is scheduled to take place later this month with plans to launch commercial operations as early as 2022. | aerospace |

The protracted and tough negotiations in this deal will save crores of rupees from the Indian exchequer.
Rafales are twin-engine medium multirole combat aircraft manufactured by Dassault Aviation, a French firm.
Highly-placed authoritative sources told ‘The Navhind Times’ that the official announcement in this regard would soon be made by the central government. The deal would be an impressive achievement on the part of Defence Minister Manohar Parrikar.
The deal for the 36 aircraft, in all probability, will receive green signal, during the forthcoming meeting of the cabinet committee on security following the completion of all negotiation formalities by the defence ministry with its French counterpart.
The procurement of MMRCA was considered by the Indian government when the Indian Air Force sought additional fighter jets in 2001 as its fleet largely consisted of heavy and light-weight combat aircraft. The defence ministry, therefore, considered bringing in intermediate medium-weight fighter jets. The actual process for this procurement began in 2007, with the Defence Acquisition Council, headed by the then defence minister A K Antony approving the request for proposal to buy 126 aircraft in August 2007, in turn kick-starting the bidding process.
The Initial bidders were Lockheed Martin’s F-16s, Boeing’s F/A-18s, Eurofighter Typhoon, Russia’s MiG-35, Sweden’s Saab’s Gripen and Rafale.
All aircraft were tested by the IAF and after careful analysis of the bids, two of them – Eurofighter and Rafale – were shortlisted. Dassault bagged the contract to provide 126 fighter jets, as it was the lowest bidder and the aircraft were said to be easy to maintain.
The negotiations in this deal were however deadlocked on the issue of transferring of technology to Hindustan Aeronautics Limited to license build 108 Rafales in Bangalore, with only additional 18 Rafales to be actually bought off the shelf.
The fighter jet deal, which was mainly wedged over this matter, was eventually restructured during the Paris trip of Prime Minister Narendra Modi in April 2015.
The deal will now offer India cutting-edge technology including the jet-engine know-how.
Rafale, it is expected, will also be able to carry the Meteor long-range air-to-air missile and Scalp long-range air-to-land missile, when they become available.
Furthermore, the French defence companies namely Safran and Thales would also invest in India under this deal. | aerospace |

According to the airline, the decision was informed by the fact that the three routes were not performing as well as expected. This is contrary to what the airline had initially said about the flights on the new the three routes being on high demand from local travellers and businessmen.
“The temporary suspension of scheduled flights on these routes is purely a business decision. However the chartered services on these routes are still active,” Silverstone Air said in an official statement.
Silverstone has in the past few months been aggressively expanding into the Kenyan market. Increased demand of flights to different parts of the country has seen the airline, which entered the country in 2017, implement an aggressive expansion plan to capitalize on the higher demand. The airline introduced the flights to Wajir in May and similarly started plying the Eldoret route which is dominated by carriers such as Jambojet and Skyward Express. The airline similarly introduced daily return flights to Maasai Mara in June.
In August, the airline acquired a 28-year-old Dash 8300 aeroplane from US based carrier Piedmont Airlines in an effort to support its ambitious local expansion plan. The Dash 8-300 plane has a carrying capacity of 19 passengers and it was made by Canadian manufacturer Bombardier. The Dash 8-300 plane added onto Silverstone’s current fleet that consists of two Dash 8-100s, one CRJ (F), two Fokker 50s and one E120 aircraft. The aircrafts are used to ferry passengers, cargo and logistical aid to different parts of the country. Silverstone introduced direct flights to Homa Bay in September as well.

Minister for Agriculture, Drought and Emergency Management David Littleproud and Minister for Industry, Science and Technology Karen Andrews said final preparations were underway to ensure a successful International Space Station visit for our national floral emblem.
“Today is National Wattle Day and what better way to celebrate than sending seeds from one of Australia’s most iconic plants, our national floral emblem, on an international space odyssey,” Minister Littleproud said.
“Wattle is a unifying symbol of Australia and Australians—and now it is supporting the international space community through research and education.
“My department played a leading role in the safe delivery of the seeds from Australia to the International Space Station and will assist again when the seeds return home to be studied by Aussie schoolkids.
“Different sections of the department worked together cohesively, and with external partners, to help the seeds make their extra-terrestrial journey.
“Upon arrival back to Earth, the department will facilitate the safe arrival of the Golden Wattle seeds back home in line with our stringent biosecurity requirements.
“It might be one small step for these seeds travelling to Japan then America for lift off to the International Space Station before coming back to Australia, but our biosecurity measures will take giant steps to ensure the seeds don’t pose a risk to our farmers and environment.
“Back on Earth, acacias can help to stabilise soils and prevent erosion, fix nitrogen in the soil and provide fodder feed for sheep.”
Minister Andrews said the project was made possible by the Department of Industry, Science, Energy and Resources and its cooperation with Japan’s space agency.
She said students will be able to plant the Golden Wattle seeds in their very own hands-on science experiment.
“This is a fun and exciting way to get our young people engaged in STEM and combines Australia’s oldest industry agriculture with our blossoming space industry,” Minister Andrews said.
“Our next generation can not only dream about the wonder of space, they can test it right here on Earth with thanks to our close partnership with Japan’s space agency.”
The seeds were collected by CSIRO from a wild population in Victoria. They are held in the National Research Collections Australia at CSIRO as part of a unique resource alongside representative seeds of Australian tree species.
The Australian Ambassador to Japan, the Hon. Richard Court, handed the seeds over to the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency in a ceremony at the Australian Embassy in Tokyo last week.
The seeds were packaged up and then moved to the Tanegashima Space Centre from where they will be sent to the US to be launched on a Space X flight scheduled for October.
They will spend around six months on the International Space Station before beginning their long journey home.
The seeds will be grown by schools under the inaugural Australian Seeds in Space educational program.
The mission also symbolises the flourishing Australia Japan bilateral ties, including our agricultural trade relationship, with the value of our farming exports to Japan now in excess of $5.4 billion.
The One Giant Leap Australia Foundation is supported by the Australian Space Agency on this project, in collaboration with Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency’s Kibo Research Module on the International Space Station which facilitates space-related educational projects.

In an assessment by customer Airbus, the company achieved an Industrial Process Control Assessment (IPCA) audit result of 95%. Martin is now presenting their first formed sheet metal parts for the construction of helicopter transmissions.
Laminated PET shims from Martin are ideally suited for tolerance compensation where weight is a factor (Left image). They reduce assembly time considerably as, unlike liquid shims, they do not have to harden. In addition to this, Martin collaborates with their customers to develop solutions which keep opening up new areas of application in the field of gap management. The groundbreaking idea here is Martin's M-Tech shim concept which demonstrates the multiple benefits of shims to the customer.
Martin has been successfully developing and producing products for the automotive industry for half a century. Now the German supplier is presenting formed parts for the aviation industry for the first time - to be more precise, a deep-drawn part made of rustless sheet steel for a helicopter transmission (Above right). As Martin can also realise complete precision sub-assemblies, the company is of interest as a supplier to many other customers in the aviation and aerospace industry.
Martin has been supplying peelable shims to the aviation industry ever since the development of the Airbus A310. The company's aerospace competence was confirmed in 2009 by EN 9100 certification and in 2012, Martin achieved an outstanding result with a rating of 95 percent in the IPCA audit conducted by Airbus.

of servicing high-energy orbit missions with the addition of an
Active Dispenser. This is an ideal solution for the small medium-earth
orbit (MEO) and geosynchronous (GEO) satellites and interplanetary
science missions that seek inexpensive, reliable space access.
Although business and mission practices for customers launching
to high-energy orbits are well established, RPK's K-1 vehicle
will encourage changes to the status quo. RPK believes the K-1’s
prices will motivate satellite operators to adopt new launch
strategies and business models. Further, RPK expects the K-1's
launch price to be so attractive that the satellite community will
design and build satellites to take advantage of the K-1's capacity.
For instance, the market for small GEO satellites is likely to grow
as satellite operators seek to leverage the availability of cost-effective
solutions for capacity demand. By using small GEO satellites, satellite
operators can minimize the risk and high capital investment required
to enter the market for satellite services. Satellite operators
can build capacity by incrementally placing multiple small satellites
in the same orbital slot, rather than placing all of their investment
on a single, highly expensive satellite from the beginning.
K-1 Active Dispenser performance is well suited for small GEO satellites. | aerospace |

Russian Aircraft Corporation MiG (Российская самолетостроительная корпорация «МиГ»), or RSK MiG, is a Russian joint stock company. Formerly Mikoyan-and-Gurevich Design Bureau (Russian: Микоян и Гуревич, МиГ), then simply Mikoyan, it is a military aircraft design bureau, primarily designing fighter aircraft. Its head office is in Begovoy District, Northern Administrative Okrug, Moscow.
It was formerly a Soviet design bureau, and was founded by Artem Mikoyan and Mikhail Gurevich as "Mikoyan and Gurevich", with the bureau prefix "MiG." Upon Mikoyan’s death in 1976, Gurevich’s name was dropped from the name of the bureau, although the bureau prefix remained "MiG". The firm also operates several machine-building and design bureaus, including the Kamov helicopter plant.
MiG aircraft are a staple of the Soviet and Russian air forces, and the Soviet Union sold many of these aircraft within its sphere of influence. They have been used by the militaries of China, North Korea, and North Vietnam in aerial confrontations with American and allied forces, and form part of the air forces of many Arab nations.
In 2006, the Russian government merged 100% of Mikoyan shares with Ilyushin, Irkut, Sukhoi, Tupolev, and Yakovlev as a new company named United Aircraft Corporation.
Specifically, Mikoyan and Sukhoi were placed within the same operating unit. | aerospace |

Author explores potential of Chinese aviation
Beyond standard economic indicators of prosperity, certain industries can be seen as a microcosm of a country's maturity. James Fallows' new book, China Airborne, argues that Chinese aviation is such an industry, worthy of closer examination for what its successes and shortcomings reflect about China's technological and social progress.
"There are a number of industries that have significance beyond themselves," Fallows says.
"If a country succeeds in those industries, it indicates a larger range of accomplishment and networks of sophisticated production, and aerospace is one of these high-end industries.
"Countries that have successful aerospace industries are capable of building sophisticated operation systems, maintaining safety standards, and can pull off the integration of military, civilian and weather systems on an international level," he says.
James Fallows sees the aviation industry as a microcosm of China's maturity in his new book. Provided to China Daily
"It's a microcosm of the larger Chinese effort to become a higher-value modern economy, and it seemed to me to deserve attention as a test case for China's emergence."
China Airborne traces the history of the nation's commercial airline industry and its more recent attempts to compete as an aircraft manufacturer. Once rated among the most dangerous to fly, Chinese airlines now boast some of the lowest crash rates in the world. But Chinese airplane manufacturers lag behind international competitors in innovation and design - a telling sign, Fallows says.
"There are major catch-up efforts to build regional jets and larger jetliners, and the test is whether these Chinese factories will be able to take the next step up. It has not happened yet, but Boeing and Airbus are very attentive to what will happen in China over the next few years."
In 2011, the Chinese government unveiled its 12th Five-Year Plan (2011-2015), in which it pledged 1.5 trillion yuan ($237 billion, 189 billion euros) to develop the national aerospace industry in the form of new airports, navigation systems and planes. As of 2010, the country counted 2,600 commercial planes, about half as many as in the US, with a target of 4,500 by 2016.
Construction of 150 new airports is already under way in China, although Fallows seems to argue that growth can sometimes surpass actual need. Much of China's airspace is highly regulated and in some cases off-limits due to military reasons, severely curtailing the potential of the private small-aircraft industry.
But as Fallows notes, Boeing executives have declared China the sole source of hope "that the world aviation industry is beginning to recover".
China Airborne also outlines the history of Chinese involvement in aviation and aerospace. A Chinese engineer, Wong Tsu, played a significant role in the development of the US industry in the early 1900s, Fallows writes. Born in Beijing in 1893 and sent to England for naval cadet training, Wong eventually became a student at MIT, in the country's first aeronautical engineering program. In 1916 he joined Bill Boeing in Seattle as the Boeing Co's first chief engineer. In fact he designed the Model C plane, the first aircraft Boeing sold to the US military.
China had its first flight in 1909, only six years after the Wright brothers' fixed-wing gas-powered plane made history on a North Carolina beach. But the gap between Chinese and US technologies only widened over time.
For a period, China used only Soviet-made planes. When the then US President Richard Nixon flew to China in 1972 aboard the Boeing 707 that was Air Force One, the simple question of how he would disembark to the runway 20 feet below created a small crisis, Fallows writes. Soviet aircraft were built at a different height and the airport was unprepared for Nixon's visit. Ultimately, Chinese builders rushed production of a set of stairs built from published 707 specs and photographs of similar portable stairways.
During that trip, Premier Zhou Enlai approved the purchase of 10 Boeing 707s as a goodwill gesture, Fallows writes. "This purchase - like all major airline sales in the modern age - was as much a diplomatic gesture as a commercial transaction, constituting a big and noticeable US export to China."
Decades later, when President Hu Jintao visited the US in 2006, his very first stop was a Boeing factory outside Seattle. While touring the assembly line, he spoke to about 5,000 Boeing workers. "Boeing is a household name in my country," Hu said. "When Chinese people fly, it is mostly in a Boeing plane. I am happy to tell you that I came to the United States on a Boeing plane."
Fallows makes the important point that because their products enable travel between nations, airline companies and their executives are de facto diplomats in geopolitics.
"One of the reasons I wanted to tell the story of Boeing's role in China was that while living in China, I was really impressed at the thousands of less-publicized levels of interaction that occur between the two countries," Fallows says.
"For Boeing, they recognized that in many parts of the world, sales are not only commercial decisions but also political decisions. On the Chinese side, Boeing was viewed as a branch of the US government. And in Boeing's role as this quasi-governmental body, it was able to get involved in air-safety ventures and air-traffic issues. Much of the miracle of making Chinese airline travel so much safer has involved intense work between Boeing and the Chinese side."
The American company brought in Western experts to train Chinese airline officials and regulators, and worked to bring China's air industry up to international standards.
"Boeing had a direct stake in improving the safety record of Chinese airlines and felt it had a responsibility to do what it could," writes Fallows.
"If commercial airliners kept crashing - as five of them did within a four-month span in 1992, including an accident in southern China in which more than 140 people aboard a Boeing 737 died - neither Chinese nor foreign passengers would ride on them, and Boeing's prospects would be limited. Thus, making Chinese airlines safer became Boeing's job."
While China's contributions to airline manufacturing remain unremarkable, the government took a huge step in moving toward innovation in 2011 when the State-owned Aviation Industry Corporation of China bought US manufacturer Cirrus Industries, known for its state-of-the-art small-propeller airplanes, and Teledyne Industries' piston engine business, which equips small aircraft including Cirrus planes.
"That is a very significant sign of Chinese sophistication," Fallows says. "It's a sign of their potential. It is an interesting choice, and I expect more purchases like that. I think that the people on the Chinese investment side are sophisticated in their purchases - they know if they do too much, there would be an adverse reaction in the US. They are being cautious, but there will be more of this, knowing the kind of ambition that's present in the Chinese industry."
Fallows, who was a speechwriter for former US President Jimmy Carter before his longtime journalism career with the Atlantic, published the 2001 book Free Flight about the US airline industry. He called the experience of reporting and writing China Airborne inspiring.
"I had a lot of fun working on this book and going out to these remote areas, where people were cooking up new airports and had big dreams," he says. "It was very stimulating. If you are interested in life and things changing, China is a very interesting place. The air industry is a field that I have pre-existing interest in, so it was a rewarding way for me to learn more about China.
"I ended up thinking about how much more varied China is than most Americans know, and if you look closely at the particular case of an industry or region or technology, you can see reflections of the country on a larger scale. This is a field in which China is trying to rise to the top, and its success or difficulties in fulfilling that dream will broadly indicate the success or limit of its technological ambition in general. If these Chinese can succeed in aerospace, there's nothing they can't succeed in."

Aeroscope is designed for drone detection and identification, providing a solution for authorities and organisations to detect, track and identify drone activities in a given airspace.
Aeroscope is provided in two form factors, a portable version for instant and spontaneous deployments and a static version for more permanent monitoring. Aeroscope portable comes complete in a Peli style case, with integrated batteries and a 7″ touch screen providing the user interface.
Since it’s formal introduction in 2017, all DJI manufactured drones transmits what is known as a DroneID. Currently, Aeroscope supports the detection of 67 individual DJI aircraft models. In fact, DJI was the first to introduce what is commonly known as a RemoteID, albeit it was under their own proprietary protocol. DroneID contains packet data transmitted from the aircraft and contains data such as aircraft longitude, latitude and altitude, the pilots location and other telemetry related data which would be beneficial to tracking the location of the aircraft.
It is this DroneID which the proprietary Aeroscope system detects, processes and displays on the user interface. | aerospace |

A former RAF pilot may have been 'dazzled and disorientated' by the sun before stepping into a turning propeller, an inquest heard.
Alistair Mathie, who was known as Al, died at the private Priory Farm airstrip, off Pristow Green Lane, near Tibenham, on January 28 last year.
The 67-year-old, from Burgate, near Diss, had been flying with another pilot and had stepped out of the aircraft when they landed, to allow him to fly solo.
But he stepped into the plane's turning propeller and died instantly.
His widow, Dorothy, told yesterday's Norwich inquest that she did not believe her husband – who had decades of experience as a pilot and was in good health – would have stepped into the propeller by mistake.
You may also want to watch:
In a statement read by Norfolk coroner William Armstrong, she said: 'The sun was very bright and low that day, and it would have been full in his face. The most likely explanation, I believe, is that he was dazzled and disorientated by the sun. He stumbled on the wheel and stepped into the propeller while trying to get his balance.'
Air Accident investigator Nicholas Dann told the inquest that it was impossible to confirm the exact cause of the incident, and why Mr Mathie had walked into the propeller, which had struck his head.

He said their report was based on the two witnesses to the incident, both of whom spoke at the inquest.
Robert Weller, the pilot being coached by Mr Mathie, said the Light Aircraft Association coach was one of the most experienced pilots he knew.
He said he saw Mr Mathie climb out of the aircraft and they then had a brief conversation. He added: 'He turned towards the front of the aircraft. The next thing I knew the engine had stopped. I really had no idea what had happened.'
Another pilot, Michael Nice, said he was about 100 yards away from the scene.
He said: 'The aerop lane was stationary. I noticed the door/window open and Al getting out. I waited to watch Rob Weller's first circuit.
'When Al got out of the aircraft he turned and walked away. He walked towards the front of the aircraft and he made contact with the propeller.'
The aircraft's engine had been left on when Mr Mathie climbed out, as Mr Weller was about to take off on his solo flight, the inquest heard.
Mr Dann said there was some debate when an aircraft was stationary but about to set off again, whether the safest option was to leave the engine on, as Mr Mathie did, or to turn it off, which would then entail someone having to hand-start the propellers to start it up again.
He said of the 15 previous air accidents, 10 had been caused when the propellers were being hand-started, and five when the engine had been left on.
A post mortem examination said the cause of death was severe head injuries as a result of being hit by an aeroplane propeller. Mr Armstrong recorded a verdict of accidental death. Mr Mathie was born in India and had been an RAF pilot for about 30 years, before he retired at 60, and became a civilian pilot. | aerospace |

The Tupolev Tu-95 (Russian: Туполев Ту-95; NATO reporting name: "Bear") is a large, four-engine turboprop-powered strategic bomber and missile platform. First flown in 1952, the Tu-95 entered service with the Soviet Union in 1956 and is expected to serve the Russian Air Force until at least 2040. A development of the bomber for maritime patrol is designated Tu-142, while a passenger airliner derivative was called Tu-114.
The aircraft has four Kuznetsov NK-12 engines with contra-rotating propellers. It is the only propeller-powered strategic bomber still in operational use today. The Tu-95 is one of the loudest military aircraft, particularly because the tips of the propeller blades move faster than the speed of sound. Its distinctive swept-back wings are at a 35° angle. The Tu-95 is one of very few mass-produced propeller-driven aircraft with swept wings.

A controllable pitch propeller is able to vary the pitch of airplane propeller blades from inside the cockpit. By adjusting a switch on the instrument panel, a pilot is able to change the pitch of the propeller blades to best suit any given situation. At start-up, the blades of the controllable pitch propeller are feathered, or set so they are neither pulling nor pushing the aircraft. This allows the engine to warm-up without placing a strain on either the engine or the braking system. Also, when encountering a strong head wind, the controllable pitch propeller can be changed to a more power-producing pitch to combat the added force that is fighting against the aircraft.
As the pitch or angle of the propeller is altered, the power-producing effects of the propeller are altered. The design of the propeller enable it to attack the air and grab it, much like the threads of a screw. This is why a ship's propeller is often referred to as a screw. Similar to how the threads of a screw grab the wood and pull the screw into the wood, the propeller blades grab the air and pull or push the aircraft forward. Changing the pitch of the propeller blades is similar to changing the threads of a screw from extremely coarse threads to very fine threads.
Like a finely threaded screw, changing the controllable pitch propeller to a certain pitch allows the propeller to spin many more revolutions to cover the same amount of air space. This gives the aircraft more power, but less speed. Conversely, changing the controllable pitch propeller to a pitch more like a coarsely threaded screw allows the engine to turn fewer revolutions while covering the same amount of air space. This gives the aircraft more speed, but less power. By manipulating the controllable pitch propeller, the pilot is able to adjust the pitch to best suit the aircraft and the weather conditions.
In multiple engine aircraft, the controllable pitch propeller allows the pilot to feather the propeller blades if an engine fails. This reduces drag from the non-running engine as well as keeps the disabled engine from being turned by the wind hitting the propeller blades. This also allows a pilot of a cargo plane to change the controllable pitch propeller to aid in takeoff when the plane is heavily loaded. As the plane reaches a cruising altitude, the propellers are adjusted to aid in cruising and to save fuel. | aerospace |

Throughout history, mankind has looked to the sky and yearned to take flight. As early as the 1500’s, inventors such as Leonardo DaVinci had designed machines that would hopefully fly. Later on, other inventors had built and flown hot air balloons, simple gliders and eventually, powered flying machines. In western Canada, more specifically, British Columbia, early experimental flight took the form of balloons and powered flying machines. Here are a few examples that you will find at the BC Aviation Museum:
The famed Italian Renaissance genius, who lived between 1452 and 1519, turned his fertile mind to the ancient dream of flight, and what emerged was a plan for a human-powered flapping machine. Our full-sized replica has been donated by BCIT. It never got off the ground!
Chanute-Type Glider 1896
This replica of a “hang-glider” built in 1896 by Octave Chanute represents the state of the art in aeronautics in the late 19th century. Chanute’s work was important to the Wright Brothers as it was airworthy but lacked only a practical motor. Our replica was built in Victoria by Russ Carrington and was donated to the Museum in 1989.
Gibson Twin Plane
Canada’s first designed and built aeroplane, the Twin Plane was “hopped” at Dean’s Farm, Victoria on September 12, 1910. Ten days later a short flight ended with a collision with a large tree. Fortunately W.W. Gibson was not seriously hurt, and went on to build a much more realistic machine that flew several times in 1911 in Calgary. A further crash ended Gibson’s pioneering efforts. This replica was built in 1996 thanks to a Heritage Trust Fund grant.
Two Vancouver area boat-builders, Henry and Jimmie Hoffar, were so enchanted with the magic of flight, that in 1917 they built and flew a bi-plane of their own design. In so doing they created the first successful aircraft that was designed, built and flown entirely in British Columbia, created the first aircraft in Canada with a single float, and built the first floatplane in Western Canada. The Museum's full-scale, externally-correct replica honours these achievements, and the contribution the Hoffar brothers made to the advancement of air transportation in the province. | aerospace |

One guy disagreed, and at 7:27 that morning Charles Lindberg took off from Roosevelt Field on Long Island, heading for Paris, making today
NATIONAL SPIRIT OF ST. LOUIS DAY!
The Transatlantic Flight was as revolutionary and stunning as the moon landing, and caused an international sensation. Lindberg and his little plane, “Spirit of St. Louis,” changed history when he landed safely at Le Bourget Field in Paris 33-1/2 hours later.
Within a few short years trans-Atlantic flights were commonplace. Charles Lindbergh was an international celebrity and hero, and for those shining moments, before his life took some tragic turns and he began acting like a political jackass, he was the most famous and admired man on Earth. Global air flight was born on this day.

Douglas (1892-1981) founded the Douglas Aircraft Company in 1921 in Santa Monica, California, on the site of what today is the Santa Monica airport. The company produced a series of mostly undistinguished military aircraft in the 1920s, although a group of modified DT torpedo bombers were converted into the “World Cruisers” which circumnavigated the globe in 1924. In the 1930s Douglas created the DC-2 and DC-3 commercial aircraft, forever cementing its place in aviation history. During World War II Douglas built attack aircraft and light bombers for the U.S. Army and Navy, as well as military variants of its DC-3 transport. After World War II it made a wide variety of civil and military aircraft.
Douglas merged with McDonnell in 1967 and primarily built jet airliners as part of the combined entity, McDonnell-Douglas, which was in turn acquired by Boeing in 1997. | aerospace |

The rotor system must also be using some of the available engine power (from 20 to 100 percent) with insufficient power available to retard the sink rate. These conditions occur during approaches with a tailwind or during formation approaches when some aircraft are flying in turbulence from other aircraft.
Under the conditions described above, the helicopter may descend at a high rate which exceeds the normal downward induced flow rate of the inner blade sections. As a result, the airflow of the inner blade sections is upward relative to the disk. This produces a secondary vortex ring in addition to the normal tip vortex system. The secondary vortex ring is generated about the point on the blade where airflow changes from up to down. The result is an unsteady turbulent flow over a large area of the disk which causes loss of rotor efficiency even though power is still supplied from the engine.
This figure shows the induced flow along the blade span during normal hovering flight:
Downward velocity is highest at the blade tip where blade airspeed is highest. As blade airspeed decreases nearer the disk center, downward velocity is less. This figure shows the induced airflow velocity pattern along the blade span during a descent conducive to settling with power:
The descent is so rapid that induced flow at the inner portion of the blades is upward rather than downward. The upflow caused by the descent has overcome the downflow produced by blade rotation. If the helicopter descends under these conditions, with insufficient power to slow or stop the descent, it will enter the vortex ring state:
During the vortex ring state, roughness and loss of control is experienced because of the turbulent rotational flow on the blades and the unsteady shifting of the flow along the blade span.
This figure shows the relationship of horizontal speed versus vertical speed for a typical helicopter in a descent. Straight lines emanating from the upper left corner are lines of constant descent angle. Superimposed on this grid are flow state regions for the typical helicopter. From this illustration, several conclusions regarding the vortex ring state can be drawn:
Normal tendency is for pilots to recover from a descent by application of collective pitch and power. If insufficient power is available for recovery, this action may aggravate power settling resulting in more turbulence and a higher rate of descent. Recovery can be accomplished by lowering collective pitch and increasing forward speed. Both of these methods of recovery require altitude to be successful.

Aircraft Gas Turbine Engine Technology by Irwin E. Treager (1995, Paperback)
Improving Propulsive Efficiency Independent of the source of shaft power, aircraft are dependent on propulsors that is, either fans or propellers to convert the shaft power to thrust. With very few exceptions, large commercial aircraft use turbofan engines. Some regional commercial aircraft with a capacity of fewer than 80 passengers are powered by turboprop engines. Propellers Propellers can offer superior efficiency to fans at lower flight Mach numbers at the cost of noise. Such lower speeds are not economically significant at relatively short stage lengths such as nm.

18 SEPT 2017
It's been a wild first year for The Martian Garden!
Thanks to all of you - our backers, customers, and supporters - we've grown from building desktop kits to being the world's only commercial supplier of Mars regolith simulant. We've been fortunate to supply some of the most amazing people and organizations in the space exploration community with Mars simulant. We've also, and perhaps more importantly, had the opportunity to work with some of the best teachers and educators in the world.
Over the last year we've learned that Mars regolith simulant isn't just a useful geologic analog for the surface of Mars - it's also an incredibly powerful resource for STEM education. By giving students the opportunity to hold "Mars" in their hand, we can help connect them with an incredibly wide variety of topics, motivating them to actually want to learn.
That's why we're launching The Martian Garden Version 2. We're starting a transition from just a webstore for simulant to a community for STEM Educators who want to get their students excited about the Journey to Mars. Over the next few weeks you'll be seeing a lot of changes around here as we start to implement some new features, such as:
- An improved Educator Discount Program
- A repository of classroom projects using Mars regolith simulant
- Curricula and lesson plans based on subject and age group
- A community forum for educators to share their projects, results, what works and what doesn't
- A surprise or two
None of this would've been possible without your support. Thank You. We're looking forward to many more years of helping you get the world ready for the journey to Mars! | aerospace |

Unmanned aerial vehicles, multipropulsors in particular, have in recent years established their position in scientific, industrial, and recreational applications. These robotic vehicles, colloquially referred to as drones, show great potential for scientific development spanning multiple disciplines. Currently, drones are used in lab-based settings for the systematic design and development of autonomous control infrastructure (including swarming and “decision-making” technologies), as these robots provide a flexible implementation platform for complex control algorithms. However, due to a lack of dedicated facilities, the inherent aerodynamic capabilities of these drones has yet to be thoroughly investigated.
To bridge this non-apparent research gap, the Gharib group is targeting two main research areas related to multipropulsor aerodynamics. Approximately 40% of a drone’s battery life is expended during descent and landing behavior. This is due to the fact that, while descending, the airflow around the drone introduces instabilities, which allow only a very moderate descent rate for stable flight. For this purpose, the Gharib Lab has designed a PIV (Particle Image Velocimetry) system specific for drone applications to analyze the flow around a descending quadcopter. Studies in this area are aimed to investigate the formation of these instabilities and the overall stability limits. Additionally, alterations to the quadcopter design will be explored, which may provide aerodynamic improvements. | aerospace |

I earned a degree in Aeronautical Science and a few years later I was at the controls of a fifty-seat regional jet. I realized, however, I would be performing the same job on the day I retire as I did my first day. While I love flying airplanes, I like it more as a hobby than a profession. Frankly, I was bored and wanted an opportunity to have a greater impact.
I accepted a position as the Manager of Government Affairs with the world’s largest aviation advocacy organization. I provided analysis, education, and advocacy to members & regulators. I positively impacted the industry by serving in multiple leadership roles on many FAA and industry committees. Seeking to improve my management and leadership abilities, I earned an MBA and began to teach as an adjunct professor at local colleges.
More recently, I managed the training program for over 400 pilots at a rapidly-growing regional airline in the northeast. With responsibility for program and curriculum management, I led multiple project teams and played an integral role in training and professional development.
In 2016, I began work towards a PhD in Organization Development where my research is focused on the identification and development of high-potential employees. | aerospace |

Martin M-130 “Clipper” Series Flying Boat
Designed and built in 1935, the Martin M-130 Flying Boats were one of the first commercial aircraft to crisscross the Pacific Ocean. Three flying boats (officially “ocean transports”)– The China Clipper, The Philippine Clipper, and The Hawaii Clipper– flew weekly routes for Pan-American Airways between San Francisco, Honolulu, Midway Island, Manilla, and Hong Kong. The “Clipper” Flying Boats captured the public’s imagination and quickly carried passengers and mail to destinations previously only accessible by much slower ships and boats.
With a wingspan of 39.7 meters and a length of 27.7 meters, the “clipper” series of flying boats could carry up to 9 crew members and 36 passengers (18 passengers for overnight flights) each flight. The Martin M-130 is immortalized in the stunning Art Deco travel posters of the 1930’s and 1940’s.
Relive the excitement of the early days of international commercial aviation with this set that includes the flying boat, tropical dock, row dingy, and minifigures of the flying boat’s pilot, flight officers, and cabin stewards. | aerospace |

Saturday morning Robin, who is a commercial jet pilot, invited me to go on an adventure while the ladies went shopping. I said “Sure!”
Robin is also a licensed helicopter pilot. To keep in practice, once every couple weeks he takes a flight. This trip was my first helicopter flight. We took off from the small local airport and flew around the neighborhood, including over Robin’s house. Then he made a loop around Stone Mountain State Park. It reminded me a little bit of hot air ballooning. Even though I could look straight down through the clear plastic bubble of the cockpit to the ground a thousand or so feet below, I had no feeling of acrophobia. Robin is a smooth and reassuring pilot, so we had fun. | aerospace |

NASA only recently managed to reestablish the contact with the probe flying solo at 11.6 billion miles from Earth.
NASA has been sending probes to space since as long as we remember. Fortunately, the earliest of Voyagers are still working and sending important data back home.
One such probe sent to space in 1977 is the Voyager 2. The machine was in contact with Earth until March, that is when scientists had to make some changes to the antenna.
So, the 43-year-old voyager was cut off in March. Now that the repairs are complete the mission NASA established contact with the 43-year-old voyager roaming the space billions of miles from Earth to the old probe using the ground-based Deep Space Station 43 (DSS43) antenna and were successful in re-establishing contact.
DSS43 had been offline since March while NASA completed a series of hardware upgrades, but tested the new components by sending commands to the craft. Nevertheless, due to the distance, the ground team had to wait more than 34 hours for a reply but Voyager 2 received the commands and sent back a 'hello.'
For those who don’t know, DSS43 is located in Australia and is part of a collection of radio antennas around the world that combine to communicate with any spacecraft beyond the moon. Apart from the Australian satellite dish, the other two antennas are located at Goldstone, California, and Madrid, Spain.
Since the call by DSS43 was successful, it will be online fully in February 2021.
The DSN project manager at NASA's Jet Propulsion Lab in Southern California, Brad Arnold, said,
“What makes this task unique is that we're doing work at all levels of the antenna, from the pedestal at ground level all the way up to the feedcones at the center of the dish that extend above the rim. This test communication with Voyager 2 definitely tells us that things are on track with the work we're doing.”
The voyager flew over Neptune's north pole in 1989 and was pushed southward. Since then, it has been following the path which is why it was not in the line of sight of any antennas and DSS43 is the only technology on our planet with a transmitter powerful enough to reach such a distance and it is now receiving science data of interstellar space from the probe.
Philip Baldwin, operations manager for NASA's Space Communications and Navigation (SCaN) Program, said:
“The DSS43 antenna is a highly specialized system; there are only two other similar antennas in the world, so having the antenna down for one year is not an ideal situation for Voyager or for many other NASA missions. The agency made the decision to conduct these upgrades to ensure that the antenna can continue to be used for current and future missions. For an antenna that is almost 50 years old, it's better to be proactive than reactive with critical maintenance.”
The fact that the repairs worked ensures that NASA can now send establish communications with other missions as well including the Mars Perseverance rover, which will land on the Red Planet on Feb. 18, 2021.

The International Space Station orbiting the Earth
Astronauts on the International Space Station were forced to evacuate to a Russian escape spaceship when passing junk threatened to strike, Nasa has said.
The debris was an old motor that probably was once a part of the space station.
The Russian Space Command said the junk had now passed the orbiting facility and the crew were back inside it.
The current crew of the space station includes US astronauts Michael Fincke and Sandra Magnus and Russian Yury Lonchakov.
The ISS has been continuously manned since November 2000.
Space junk is considered a threat to the 800 or so commercial and military satellites estimated to be operating in space, as well as to the International Space Station.
There are more than 18,000 pieces of debris catalogued.
Russian mission control said that the evacuation lasted only about 10 minutes.
A spokesman said: "(The crew) didn't even close the hatch between the station and the Soyuz (escape craft) and sat there for only about 10 minutes.
"We do not know where the space debris was from," he said.
The alert happened just a day after Nasa postponed a launch of the space shuttle Discovery, on a mission to the ISS, until Sunday.
The US space agency blamed a hydrogen leak during fuelling for the delay.
The purpose of the shuttle flight - the first of five planned for this year - is to deliver a final set of solar power panels to the space station.
Japan's first astronaut to serve as a member of the station crew will also hitch a lift with the shuttle. | aerospace |

But this experiment is getting delayed due to one reason or another as time elapsed.
Initially, SpaceX wanted to perform the first Starship orbital flight experiment with the more stable and tested SN20 prototype (aka Ship 20).
Talking to SpaceX fans on Twitter earlier this week, Elon Musk confirmed that the first orbital flight will not be conducted on the SN20 prototype anymore. A prototype will be used from the existing SN21 or SN22 or a new one will be built for the purpose.
From Elon Musk’s answer to the question, it seems like even the Booster 4 rocket prototype will also be eliminated from the first orbital flight test.
Elon Musk also announced that the first Starship orbital flight test is now going to possibly happen in May. This delay is also due to the production of Raptor V2.0 rocket engines.
Last year Elon Musk was hopeful of performing the first orbital flight with the 1st generation of Raptor engines. But now SpaceX is going to do conduct this test using the 2nd generation Raptor 2 engines.
First Starship orbital flight will be with Raptor 2 engines, as they are much more capable & reliable. 230 ton or ~500k lb thrust at sea level. We’ll have 39 flightworthy engines built by next month, then another month to integrate, so hopefully May for orbital flight test.Elon Musk on Twitter.
A NASA document from last year suggested that the first Starship orbital flight test is going to happen in March 2022. But this also did not come to fruition as Elon Musk and SpaceX decided to do it with the Raptor 2 engines, not the 1st generation ones.
Raptor V2 engine design is much simpler but more powerful compared to its previous generation V1. Raptor V1 engine produces 185 tons thrust while V2 produces 230 tons of thrust at sea level. The reason SpaceX chose Raptor V2 over V1 for the orbital flight test.
SN20 has been stacked on the Super Heavy rocket booster multiple times by now. SpaceX stacked Starship SN20 onto Super Heavey Booster 4 last week for the last time yet (pictured above). Now, it has been de-stacked again.
SpaceX also performed a cryogenic proof test on Starship 20 last week. This was the first cryo-proof test on a Starship prototype while it was fully stacked (video below).
The fully stacked Starship at the Starbase launch site also went through a propellant load test. These tests are giving SpaceX the necessary experience and observations for the ultimate Starship launch into space.
FAA Approval Delays
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has once again extended the environmental review date of an orbital flight from Starbase Boca Chica, Texas to April 29, 2022, Reuters reports.
FFA’s announcement came on Friday after days of Elon Musk announcing a possibility of an orbital flight in May. This extension of the review and approval process can further delay the Starship orbital launch test.
Back in September last year, the FAA asked the general public to vote in support or against an orbital launch from Boca Chica.
It has been around 5 months since the FAA released the Draft Programmatic Environmental Assessment (PDF) for the Starship/Super Heavy orbital flight test but extensions in the review process have stopped SpaceX from performing an orbital launch. | aerospace |

James Anderson, 20, who is on the flight from Charles de Gaulle airport to London Heathrow said that the plane was searched due to an apparent threat made by an individual.
After an initial search was given the all clear, passengers were put through X-rays and body scanners by armed officers before they were given the go-ahead to fly. Pictures and video from the scene show police and fire engines surrounding the plane as it sits on the runway at the airport.
James said that the pilot had said there were technical issues as the plane was held on the runway for an hour, adding: “We were then told the aircraft had to move to another part of the airport. That’s when we noticed police and fire vehicles quickly surround the plane and dozens of armed officers and firefighters got out. The pilot then said there had been a direct security threat involving our flight specifically.” | aerospace |

The plane’s captain, Euan Mckay, was reported missing after taking off from Kuala Lumpur on Thursday night.
He and two other crew members are still missing, Malaysia Airlines said on Friday.
Flight 370, which disappeared on March 8 with 239 people onboard, is one of the most mysterious mysteries of aviation ever.
It was one of only two Boeing 777-200 aircraft that went missing in the history of aviation.
The other plane, MH370, was found almost 2,000 miles from the crash site.
The search for the missing aircraft resumed on Friday morning.
Malaysia’s Transportation Minister, Azharuddin Abdul Rahman, told reporters the search area is approximately 2,700 square kilometers (about 6,000 square miles).
Malaysian authorities said they believe MH370’s black box is still in the ocean.
Airlines have not been able to determine if the plane was shot down by an anti-aircraft gun or if it was hit by a missile.
A flight simulator at a Singapore airport showed a plane going through a series of maneuvers, according to Reuters.
This video from a flight simulator shows an aircraft going through some maneuvers in Singapore.
Malay authorities said on Thursday they have found no evidence to support the theory that the plane had been deliberately shot down.
The United States has also been trying to find out what happened to the plane.
The FAA said on Saturday that it is continuing to assess the search. | aerospace |

In 1991, Emporia State University was one of 16 institutions selected from a national competition to become a NASA JOVE (JOint VEnture) institution. JOVE had several objectives. The three-year funding from the NASA JOVE program enabled Emporia State to develop research programs in earth science and physics involving faculty, undergraduate and graduate students.
The earth science program used satellite imagery to investigate surficial geology, monitor environmental conditions, or do other applied studies using remotely sensed data. Physics research enabled students to do collaborative investigations of dynamic processes of the interstellar medium, i.e., the “stuff” between the stars. In addition to the basic research objective, other JOVE objectives which had mutual benefits for Emporia State and its students included curriculum development (e.g., course development such as Introduction to Space Science or curricula such as the interdisciplinary minor in GeoSpatial Analysis).
Educational outreach was also an objective contingent to JOVE involvement. A Speaker Series on space science or related topics was inaugurated, and related programs were provided in Peterson Planetarium pursuant to this objective. The renovated Peterson Planetarium with a Spitz System 512 projector and auxiliaries enhanced appreciably educational outreach in the space sciences.
As a result of successful proposals for additional grant funds from other sources, Emporia State was awarded a JOVE Augmentation Grant in 1995. This provided additional funds for equipment to establish a GeoSpatial Analysis Laboratory to do satellite image-processing research, and to provide instruction for a number of courses, including several courses for the GeoSpatial Analysis minor, and undergraduate and graduate certificate programs. In addition to the immediate, tangible benefits from JOVE, it provided the foundation for a successful proposal to become a “Space Grant College” in 1993. Hence, Emporia State is a member of the Kansas Space Grant Consortium. This provides modest, annual funds to support undergraduate and graduate students with chemistry, earth science and physics research projects.
A third NASA project for Emporia State was Project NOVA, a project which enabled faculty from the Departments of Mathematics/Computer Science, Physical Sciences (chemistry, earth science, and physics), and the Teachers College to do significant curriculum development for courses in mathematics, physical sciences, and education required for elementary education majors. The project extended from 1996 to 1998, but spinoffs continue.
Other NASA awards were from the NASA EPSCoR program. In Fall 1996, five collaborating Kansas Regents universities were awarded a multi-year NASA EPSCoR (Experimental Program to Stimulate Competitive Research) grant. The awarded funds supported Emporia State faculty and students to pursue research in three areas: the use of satellite imagery and ground-based studies to investigate vegetation and infer climatic conditions in northeast Kansas; studies of biochemical responses to microgravity environments, and astrophysical studies of interstellar conditions and dynamics of low-temperature stellar evolution. In 2003, several Emporia State faculty were awarded seed grants. One involved alternative materials (ultralightweight) for telescope designs, and an earth science project involved an investigation of the role of small impoundments (ponds) and dynamics of the carbon cycle.
Another example of a positive spinoff from NASA grant activity was the selection of an Emporia State physicist as a NASA-ASEE Summer Faculty Fellow. In the summers of 1996 and 1997 he joined with a NASA Ames Research Center collaborator and then again in 2000 at the Kapteyn Astronomical Institute, the Netherlands, for collaborative research. Their research involved dynamics of charged particles and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in the interstellar environment.
JOVE, Space Grant, NOVA and EPSCoR—these NASA-funded projects to Emporia State, during the 1990s and now in a new millennium, have provided research and learning opportunities for faculty and students, and outreach to a larger public. Students and ultimately the general public continue to benefit from past and future NASA funding to Emporia State. | aerospace |

It was a pretty straightforward process, and I ended up taking my checkride with just over 50 total hours (had 43 when I applied). Now I get to go explore the skies and fly on my own! It’s been one of the best decisions I’ve made, and flying these little planes out of the big Austin-Bergstrom airport is always an adventure…
The trainers that I used were mostly Cessna 172s, but the school also has a couple 152s that are usually more available. It had been a while since I had taken one of the 152s out, so I was coming back from a quick trip to Lockhart where I was doing some practicing.
Flying out of Austin means that you usually have to be vectored around some of the usual commercial jet traffic. On a normal day, there are 2 runways that are used and there’s tons of room and time when using the runways. This particular day, one of the runways was closed so everyone was using 17R (the long runway, the one we usually aren’t directed towards).
Coming back this lovely afternoon, I was given the clearance to land behind a Southwest 737 - which is great since I was far enough out I could just keep pointed towards the jet and never catch up, and set right up for my landing. As I was making my way across the airport to set up a nice landing, another plane came onto the tower frequency: FexEx Heavy, landing after me.
Then, I got one of my favorite calls I get from Austin’s tower: “796, keep it tight and your speed up as much as practical, MD-80 following, 10 mile final.” This basically means I get to zip right down to the runway and get my butt on the ground and out of their way. “Long landing approved.” Perfect, now I get to really keep my speed up.
I set my nose towards the end of the runway, and turned my head back behind me to see the big FedEx plane coming in behind me. If there’s any good motivation to keep your speed up, a massive plane coming at twice your MAX speed is perfect.
Keeping my speed up all the way to the runway, I crossed the displaced threshold at about 115 knots indicated. With permission to land long (and almost 5000 feet of runway before I get to the first taxiway), I pulled out all the power, pitched up, and burned off all the speed right above the runway for a nice, smooth touchdown and rolled right off the runway. Looking back once I cleared the runway, I see Mr. FedEx Heavy coming right down, a couple miles away.
I know I enjoyed it when I started chuckling to myself, and contacted ground with a big stupid grin on my face. | aerospace |

— Aviation Week Editorial Director Joe Anselmo
WASHINGTON, D.C., UNITED STATES, March 14, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ — Aviation Week Network has announced the Grand Laureate winners for the 66th Annual Laureate Awards (#AWLAUR), honoring extraordinary achievements in the global aerospace arena. They were selected from a total of 26 winners of the 2024 Laureate Awards and were announced last evening at an awards gala at the National Building Museum in Washington, DC, where all of the winners were honored. A Grand Laureate was named in each of the five award categories: Commercial Aviation, Defense, Space, Business Aviation, and MRO.
In addition, Aviation Week Network bestowed the Philip J. Klass Award for Lifetime Achievement to two individuals. Four cadets and midshipmen from U.S. military academies were also recognized as Tomorrow’s Leaders, honoring young men and women who have chosen career paths in the armed forces.
“With 26 Laureate winners making significant contributions throughout the world, selecting the five Grand Laureates was no easy task for the judges. The impact made by the Grand Laureates, from hydrogen electric powered aircraft to collecting and delivering pristine samples from an asteroid, demonstrates the very best of the best,” said Aviation Week Editorial Director Joe Anselmo. “We are thrilled to celebrate these outstanding organizations and individuals.”
In addition to the Laureate Awards, Aviation Week Network recognized the “20 Twenties” in partnership with Accenture and sponsored by Hexcel. This program recognizes the accomplishments and drive of 20 science, technology, engineering and mathematics students in their 20s and currently enrolled in a master’s degree or bachelor’s degree program.
The Grand Laureate Winners are:
Universal Hydrogen’s De Havilland Canada Dash 8-300 propulsion testbed became the largest hydrogen-electric-powered aircraft yet to fly in March 2023, taking off with one of its two turboprop engines replaced with a 1 megawatt-class fuel-cell powertrain in a key milestone for the startup’s efforts to introduce zero-emission hydrogen propulsion beginning with regional aviation.
Northrop Grumman B-21 Raider
The U.S. Air Force’s B-21 Raider bomber flew for the first time on Nov. 10, 2023 – eight years after contract award and less than a year after its public rollout at Northrop Grumman’s Plant 42 facility in Palmdale, California. The milestone opens the door for the company to begin low-rate initial production of the first new U.S. bomber in three decades.
NASA/Lockheed Martin Osiris-Rex
NASA’s $1 billion Origins, Spectral Interpretation, Resource Identification, Security-Regolith Explorer (Osiris-Rex) fulfilled its primarily mission, collecting and delivering pristine samples from the primordial asteroid Bennu. Lockheed developed sample collection hardware which acted as a “reverse vacuum,” blowing compressed nitrogen gas to stir up dust and dirt from the asteroid and collect it in a canister for return to Earth in September 2023.
GAMA Electric Propulsion and Innovation Committee (EPIC)
Established in 2015 by the General Aviation Manufacturers Association (GAMA), EPIC has successfully brought industry together to provide coordinated input to aviation regulators and standards developers on issues raised by new technologies including electric aircraft propulsion and simplified vehicle operation. In August 2023, GAMA submitted a robust industry-wide response to the FAA’s proposed operating rules for the electric vertical-takeoff-and-landing vehicles.
The Delta Engine Maintenance team reimagined engine operations coming out of COVID-19 when the airline MRO faced significant increases in engine and part repair turnaround times and the addition of three engine variants. The result: the APEX program’s predictive and simulation capabilities have resulted in predictive part-level material scrapping, optimized engine production control, substantial improvements in material availability and eight-digit cost savings.
LIFETIME ACHIEVEMENT AWARD
Clay Lacy, often called Mr. Learjet, was instrumental in launching the business jet era. Clay began flying at age 12 on his grandmother’s farm and joined United Airlines in 1952 at age 19. In 1964, he flew the first Learjet into Van Nuys Airport as a demonstrator for Pacific Learjet. And in 1969, he founded Clay Lacy Aviation as the first jet charter and executive jet management company on the West Coast. He has flown more than 300 aircraft types and logged more than 55,000 flight hours. He also helped pioneer the Astrovision camera system used to film more than 3,000 films and photo jobs for airlines and military projects including the original Top Gun.
Daniel S. Goldin
Dan Goldin is known as the longest-serving administrator of NASA, but his contributions to space go far beyond that. Launching his career in 1962 as a propulsion engineer at NASA Lewis Research Center in Cleveland, Ohio, Goldin went on to a 25-year career leading cutting-edge national security space projects at TRW (now Northrop Grumman). Appointed NASA administrator in 1992, Goldin re-energized the agency with his “faster, better, cheaper” mantra, oversaw the repair of the Hubble Space Telescope, the landing of U.S. rovers on Mars, the redesign and construction of the International Space Station and forged an international partnership with Russia in the ashes of the Cold War. He also guided the initial design of the James Webb Space Telescope, rejecting early concepts as woefully insufficient.
Luis Carlos Affonso
Luis Carlos Affonso is the mastermind behind Embraer’s success in commercial and business aviation. He joined the company more than 40 years ago, in January 1983, as an aeronautical engineer. Since then, he has led the launch and development of multiple all-new commercial and business aviation aircraft, including the ERJ-145, first generation Embraer 170/190 family and the E-Jet E2 family. He also led Embraer’s diversification into executive jets. Later, as head of strategy, Affonso was behind the creation of EmbraerX, a unit dedicated to disruptive technology, and advanced air mobility spin-off Eve.

The rocket was to launch the AMOS-6 communication satellite on September 3. The satellite and the launcher were destroyed. No one was hurt in the explosion.
The AMOS-6 satellite was intended to provide internet coverage to large parts of east, west and south africa was secured at the top of the rocket at the time of explosion.
AMOS-6 satellite was to be Facebook’s first satellite. Mark Zukerburg, the founder of Facebook posted that he was “deeply disappointed”.
A video of the explosion shows a fireball engulfing the rocket standing on the pad. The explosion was “heard and felt for miles around” according to a news article about the event
The cause of the explosion is still unknown according to Elon Musk, founder of SpaceX.
Loss of Falcon vehicle today during propellant fill operation. Originated around upper stage oxygen tank. Cause still unknown. More soon.

The pressure is on Boeing for its 787—and we mean this in a good way.
After years of a program in disarray, Boeing is now delivering new-production aircraft and some of those that have littered the Everett Paine Field taxiways and ramps for the last four years. (more…)
This week we had the opportunity to visit the A350XWB FAL inauguration. The event was well attended by French politicians. After all the FAL will employ a large number of skilled people in France. Program boss Didier Evrard said the program currently has some 15,000 people involved throughout the supply chain and this number will rise to 35,000 at ramp up. Consequently the A350 is going to attract a lot of attention across the EU, and ultimately beyond.
One day after the FAL inauguration, Singapore Airlines announced an increased order for the A350XWB. This follows a similar order from Cathay Pacific. These orders are influential because both airlines are large 777 operators. The A350XWB is a strong competitor for the 777, and likely even for the 777X to come.
Please pardon the handheld camera shake. Take a look at the speeches from the event:
Airbus released this image today of the first A350 vertical tail. It is 10 meters tall and is the first part of the A350 MSN1 to be painted. The device is made from composites in Stade near Hamburg. The A350 tail will connect to the fuselage in a different way than other tails, Airbus is using a methods that are lighter and stronger.
We had a chance to see the tail assembly in Stade and it is a process that is highly automated. At the bottom of the tail, the assembly connection piece is carved out of solid titanium. This process is remarkable to watch because it is exceptionally exacting.
Rob Dewar, VP & GM CSeries Program, spoke with us today about the tightening timeline the program is facing. Although this is not big news, he shares that the program has seen significant benefits from its investments in its CIASTA – they have been able to accumulate ten times the flight hours that a typical program (flying an airplane) does. The assembly team is also seemingly trained and well down the learning curve. But, based on this call we think there won’t be a first flight in 2012. First quarter 2013 seems more likely.
We had a chance to speak Dennis Tajer, a spokesman for the Allied Pilots Association, and also a 21 year veteran pilot at American. The conversation quickly moved into a review of the Chapter 11 situation plus its origins. While the conversation is the view from organized labor, with its attendant bias, one is left with the impression that matters have sunk to a truly low level. Morale is down. The Transport Workers Union and Flight attendants have joined the pilots in siding with the management at US Airways. The pilots want the merger as soon as possible because they see the delays further disrupting the airline’s recovery.
The first western operated SSJ has arrived in Venice for completion. The airplane is destined for delivery to Mexican airline, Interjet in March 2013. This is an important milestone for both Sukhoi and SuperJet International. To date the airplane has been operated in the CIS and the performance information has been influenced by where the information has been coming from.
For example, launch customer Amravia seemed delighted with the airplane which replaced an A319. But then we heard the airline had returned the SSJ to Sukhoi – it appeared the airline was unhappy with it. Later it transpired the airline could not afford the SSJ. At Aeroflot we understand that unhappiness with the SSJ has nothing to do with its performance – rather there is a personality clash between the bosses at the airline and Sukhoi. This type of news flow has been confusing, to say the least.
Therefore the arrival of the airplane at a western airline will be the first time that SuperJet International will be able to show off the airplane’s performance in a setting that is more transparent. Interjet has firm orders with SuperJet International for 20 SSJs. All will be in a 93-seat configuration. It would be fair to say that interest in the performance of the airplane is eagerly awaited by many. It is the first of the new (non derivative) airplanes in this segment. | aerospace |

It has been in development over the last few years along with various others. Starlink is disrupting the communications infrastructure at every level from satellite operators and providers (even the cellular communications operators) to the antenna manufacturers and system integrators.
For the first time in e3’s experience as specialists in satellite communications, they are receiving questions from their clients about the new LEO constellation
Starlink, which has been prompted by the extreme performance and low price when compared to conventional VSAT. The fact that this system has been developed by Elon Musk, owner of Twitter, Tesla,
Starlink and Space X, attracts even more attention.
His own company SpaceX is vertically integrated and also launches the Starlink satellites using his re-usable rockets. Word has spread like wildfire in the mobile
maritime marketplace, on the dock and by social media. Some clients have become obsessed!

I will confine my comments to the Commission’s questions on the overall context of the People’s Republic of China’s (PRC’s) emerging use of orbital systems to support military modernization efforts such as the country’s emerging anti-access/area denial (A2/AD) capabilities in the western Pacific, including the impact of the PRC’s space program on the Chinese concept of Comprehensive National Power (CNP). Regarding the role that the PRC’s space assets might play in U.S.-China conflict scenarios in the 2012-2020 timeframe, I will assess the likelihood of such conflicts occurring and argue that China’s own growing military use of space may constrain their counterspace options in the long run to a greater extent than some of our war gaming has suggested.
How Has the Military Use of Space Changed since the 1960s?
The United States, starting with the first successful return of a film canister from a KH-1 Corona reconnaissance satellite in August 1960, began to exploit orbital space to monitor the evolution of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republic’s (USSR’s) strategic-nuclear forces.
The USSR followed suit in April 1962 with the first successful return of film from the third Zenit-2 launch. Reconnaissance satellites, known euphemistically as National Technical Means (NTM), enabled the United States and the Soviet Union to monitor each other’s military capabilities—especially intercontinental nuclear forces—throughout the Cold War.
Although luck also played a part, NTM contributed to a stable relationship that, in the end, avoided a U.S.-Soviet nuclear exchange.
Throughout the Cold War, accessing the orbit using updated German rocket technology was costly, technically difficult and failure-prone. Excluding Corona launches without a camera, the initial KH-1 success was preceded by eight missions failures. Recall, also, the loss of two American space shuttles: Challenger during liftoff in 1986 and Columbia during reentry in 2003. As a result, the use of space for military missions such as strategic reconnaissance or attack warning was heavily dominated by the United States and the USSR well into the 1980s. Indeed, American and Russian quantitative dominance of near-Earth space persists even today in terms of on-orbit payloads. | aerospace |

Under the ESP PLUS agreement, the service life of the Dash 8-100 aircraft will be increased to 160,000 flight cycles.
TORONTO — Norwegian air transport equipment rental company, Widerøe Asset AS, has signed an agreement with De Havilland Canada to incorporate the Canadian aircraft manufacturer’s extended service program to Widerøe’s Dash 8-100 aircraft.
Under the ESP PLUS agreement, the service life of the Dash 8-100 aircraft will be increased to 160,000 flight cycles. The aircraft previously underwent an ESP to increase their service life from the original 80,000 flight cycles to 120,000.
“Our Dash 8-100 aircraft have proven to be exceptionally valuable assets in our fleet and once again we are very pleased to work with De Havilland Canada to extend their service life,” said Werner Skaue, director aircraft trading, Widerøe Asset AS in a statement.
“Since 2009, when we helped launch the program, we have utilized the Extended Service Program on 20 of our Dash 8-100 aircraft and the aircraft continue to prove their durability, reliability and cost-effectiveness in supporting our demanding operations — especially in the challenging climate of northern Scandinavia. The program is vital to bridge the transition between conventional and new technology, and will ensure continuous service of the Norwegian STOL network until zero emission technology is available for entry into service.”

President Obama has approved the use of armed drones over Libya, Defense Secretary Robert Gates announced Thursday.
The first flights began Thursday, but the drones were recalled because of the weather, said Gen. James Cartwright, vice chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. The drones can detect hidden enemies by flying closer to the ground than other weapons, he said at a press conference with Gates.
Gates called the drones a “modest contribution” to NATO’s efforts in Libya and a “limited additional role” on the part of the U.S. military.
The defense chief repeated that giving “non-lethal assistance” to Libyans is an “important contribution,” and he noted that American troops aren’t in the country. “I think the president has been firm, for example, on the boots on the ground — there’s no wiggle room on that,” Gates said.
He also was asked if he’s worried that Libya would be thrown into a stalemate. But Gates, who is expected to leave his job this year, joked, “Well, the worry will be my successor’s.” | aerospace |

PARIS - The United Arab Emirates (UAE) is now talking with Lockheed Martin about buying more F-16 fighter aircraft because France's offer of an advanced version of the Rafale combat jet is seen as too expensive, said a source familiar with the negotiations in the gulf.
In the 1990s, the UAE bought 80 F-16 E/F fighters under a $7.3 billion foreign military sales contract. (Wikipedia)
"The UAE is finding the Rafale offer to be too costly compared to the capabilities of aircraft and other technologies on the market," the source said. "The negotiations with France are still ongoing and both sides are looking for a compromise."
The UAE has been seen as a potential first export buyer of the Dassault Rafale in a deal estimated at $10 billion. Meetings on the Rafale sale were held at the Paris Air Show, which ended June 26.
But price resistance has led UAE officials to open discussions with Lockheed Martin to buy more F-16s with the latest "weaponry and targeting sensors," the source said.
Last year, UAE officials asked for technical information on the Boeing F/A-18 E/F Super Hornet, following a political chill at the highest levels between Abu Dhabi and Paris.
In negotiations with the French, the elements said to be stretching the UAE's planned budget are the co-development costs for a more powerful "special" Rafale version, plus maintenance and spare parts. The UAE wants its Rafales powered by uprated Snecma M88 engines, whose 9 tons of thrust provide 1.5 tons more than the version flown by the French Air Force. Other improvements requested include a longer range active electronically scanned array (AESA) radar and a more capable Spectra electronic warfare suite.
The upgrades previously have been estimated at 2 billion euros ($2.9 billion) by then-French Defense Minister Hervé Morin.
Dassault Aviation declined to comment.
Shortly before the Paris Air Show, Dassault Chief Executive Charles Edelstenne said of the Rafale offer to the UAE, "the talks are advancing."
The gulf source said, "Lockheed Martin is offering a very attractive financial package."
A UAE sale might help Lockheed keep its F-16 assembly line open, after India rejected the U.S. fighter from its short list for the Medium Multirole Combat Aircraft competition.
Lockheed officials were unable to comment by press time.
France badly needs export success on the Rafale, a showcase of military technological competence, as the national defense budget assumes foreign contracts to help pay for a steady rate of production.
Dassault has said it must build 11 Rafale units a year to keep the line working at an economic rate.
Large companies depending on the Rafale include Safran subsidiaries Sagem, for the forward looking infrared gear, Snecma for the twin engines, Thales for the electronics and RBE2 AESA radar, and MBDA, which hopes to sell the Meteor long-range missile.
In the 1990s, the UAE bought 80 F-16 E/F fighters with distinctive conformal fuel tanks, under a $7.3 billion foreign military sales (FMS) contract, of which a reported $3 billion went to co-develop the Block 60 Desert Falcon, widely viewed as the most capable of the F-16s worldwide. As co-developer, the UAE is co-owner of some of the sensitive military technology on the Block 60 version. As part of the deal, UAE personnel worked on the co-development program, and Lockheed trained Emirati nationals to service the Block 60 aircraft.
The 1990s also saw the UAE buy Dassault Mirage 2000-9 fighters, which were more advanced than the 2000-5 version flown by the French Air Force. Older Mirage fighters were also upgraded to the more capable variant.
The Mirage 2000-9 fleet still has a long life ahead of it, but the UAE could start taking delivery of the new F-16s in under five years while keeping the existing Mirage aircraft, the source said.
France has previously offered to buy back the Mirage fleet and resell the fighters in export markets to encourage the sale of the Rafale to the UAE.
The UAE has purchased the Black Shaheen cruise missile for the Mirage. In long-range strike, the UAE also has the Hakim, which was shown under the wing of a Rafale model displayed on missile manufacturer MBDA's stand at the IDEX arms show in Abu Dhabi in February. | aerospace |

However, most research on this topic mainly focuses on single drone scenarios. In this paper, we describe a novel time-optimal trajectory generation method for generating time-optimal trajectories for a swarm of quadrotors to fly through pre-defined waypoints with their maximum maneuverability without collision. We verify the method in the Gazebo simulations where a swarm of 5 quadrotors can fly through a complex 6-waypoint racing track in a 35m * 35m space with a top speed of 14m/s. Flight tests are performed on two quadrotors passing through 3 waypoints in a 4m * 2m flight arena to demonstrate the feasibility of the proposed method in the real world. Both simulations and real-world flight tests show that the proposed method can generate the optimal aggressive trajectories for a swarm of autonomous racing drones. The method can also be easily transferred to other types of robot swarms. | aerospace |

[Click to narcissusenate.]
I love how it almost looks like the rover is surprised to see itself.
The picture was taken by the Mars Hand Lens Imager (MAHLI), a camera mounted on the end of the robot arm. It's designed to look up close at specimens of rocks or whatever else the rover happens to see as it rolls across Mars. It has a transparent dust cover on it, which is why the image is a bit fuzzy. It's covered in Mars dust!
But engineers commanded the dust cover to flip open, and then it took this picture looking straight down (again, click to embiggen). Those may just look like rocks, but they're rocks on Mars! That alone makes them awesome. But in fact pictures like this will tell scientists back home volumes about the geology of Mars, and the history of its surface in this region.
Even just looking at how the rocks are laid out can be telling; water flowing over a rocky area redistributes rocks in certain patterns, and that can be seen right away in pictures. A lot of science can be gleaned just from a shot like this. But the rover can also drill into this surface, scoop up samples to test, or zap them with its laser to see what they're made of. All in all, this is the little rover that could... which is actually a big rover that does.

Airbus Helicopters’ enhanced version is the first to be fully certified in Brazil
Marignane, 13 March 2014 – The first two upgraded AS365 Panther K2 rotorcraft will be delivered this month by Airbus Helicopters’ Helibras subsidiary to the Brazilian Army Aviation Command (AvEx), providing a modernized platform with more power, updated avionics and increased mission capability.
These deliveries follow the signature in Brasília of an amendment standardizing the modifications introduced to the helicopter’s enhanced configuration – which will be assessed by AvEx’s various battalions during mission operations. Should these evaluations prove favorable, Helibras will continue modernizing the remaining 32 AS365 K Panthers in the Brazilian Army’s inventory through 2021.
Helibras’ Panther K2 is the first helicopter to be fully certified in Brazil by the country’s Aerospace Technology and Science Department (DCTA). It is a landmark achievement for the Itajubá, Brazil-based Helibras, as this particular version has been developed entirely in Brazil.
Featuring state-of-the-art equipment and systems, the Panther K2 upgrade will enable Brazil’s AS365s to remain operational for another 25 years. The contract value for modernizing all 34 Panthers in Brazilian Army service is 347 million Brazilian reais.
“The modernization of military aircraft such as the Panther K2 is taking place in fleets with hi-tech assets and a high purchase value, be they fleets of helicopters, airplanes or ships,” said Helibras CEO Eduardo Marson, who sees the upgrading of the Panthers as a strategic step forward in his company’s expansion program.
“This upgrade effort allows Helibras to gain expertise in the key technologies offered in high-performance aircraft types such as the Dauphin family – on which the Panther military helicopter is based – and opens the way for the development of new projects through the company’s engineering center,” he added. “The Super Puma and Cougar helicopters are examples of this, and just by introducing a process whereby old parts are replaced by more modern systems, we are able to extend their service life for 25 years at least.”
Helibras Manufacturing Vice President Richard Marelli said the company’s engineering center was responsible for the Panther K2’s preliminary and detailed designs for the enhancement. “As part of the process, a team of engineers and mechanics received on-the-job training at Airbus Helicopters with a view toward specialization in major operations,” he continued. “The program also included training for pilots and instructors.”
The Panther K2 has been fitted with new Arriel 2C2CG engines that deliver 40 percent more power, new engine fairings, a new glass cockpit with a 4-axis autopilot, new wiring and a cable-cutting device. In addition to night vision goggle-compatibility, the helicopter also features a new altimeter and weather radar, the latest navigation and communication radios and a new tail rotor – significantly improving performance and safety. These changes provide a helicopter with greater range, more speed and reduced pilot workload.
The Panther K2 has capacity for one or two pilots and 10 troops, a maximum takeoff weight of 4,300 kg., and a top speed of 175 kts. – which is increased from 150 kts. prior to its upgrade.

From wood-and-cloth contraptions to Boeing 707’s, the technology, size and stability of airplanes have increased drastically. As technology advances every day, it’s hard to keep up with the amazing things planes are capable of doing. Even if you are an experienced traveller, there are still some things you’ve probably never imagined about airplanes. Here are several secrets that are only known to airport employees and some of the most curious travelers.
1. The holes in airplane windows help regulate pressure.
If you were one of the lucky ones to land yourself a window seat on a long flight, then your attention might have wandered onto that little hole in the inside window. A Boeing 737 is made up of 367,000 parts. Like many other parts in an airplane, the size and position of the tiny hole is precisely calculated in order to serve a specific purpose.
Passenger aircraft windows are comprised of three panes of acrylic (outer, middle and inner panes). All three of the panes are strong as well as transparent and two of the panes (outer and middle) serve a structural purpose. The outer pane is responsible for maintaining cabin pressure while the inner one serves as a failsafe. The little hole in the inner pane releases air from the cabin to the space between the windows. This is to ensure that the middle pane is not subjected to any form of stress, except in the case of an emergency (if the outer pane is compromised). (source)
2. Planes are struck by lightning all the time.
Flying through a storm is like an ultimate nightmare. The constant turbulence will induce panic in almost all passengers. When a person sees flickering lights through his/her window, they might start worrying about being hit by lightning. But, little did we know, lightning poses no danger to an airplane.
According to the FAA, every airplane that is in service in the United States gets hit by a lightning bolt at least once every year. The outer body of an airplane, or the skin, is built to withstand such powerful electrical forces. When hit by a lightning bolt, the outer body allows the electrical charge to pass through and onto the ground, without damaging electrical equipment inside the aircraft.
The only residue left behind are tiny burn marks at the entry and exit points of the electrical charge. Experts suggest that winds and booms from thunder pose a greater threat than lightning strikes. (source)
3. Airplane food tastes bad because of cabin pressure and dry recycled air.
Anyone who travels a lot might be familiar with the fact that airplane food tastes bad. A new study from Cornell University suggests that the problem isn’t bad cooking, but the noisy environment people are confined in. Sure, pre-packaged foods don’t taste as good as a gourmet cuisine, but they might not be as bad as we think.
The study was conducted on 48 people, who were all given a variety of solutions with different tastes. The testers first sipped the flavored solutions in silence and then wearing headphones that played 85 decibels of noise that mimicked the hum of a jet engine. What the researchers found was that the noisy surrounding dulled the sweet taste while intensifying the savory one. The study also discovered that the dry recycled air inside the cabin further dampens your taste buds, making you feel as if the food is a little off. (source)
4. Some airplanes have secret bedrooms for the flight crew to relax during long-haul flights.
CRCs or Crew Rest Compartments are tiny areas within airplanes that are used by the cabin crew to relax during long journeys. On long-haul flights, the crew can work to about 16 hours a day. In order to combat fatigue and for them to get a few hours of sleep, some planes, such as the Boeing 777 and 787 Dreamliners, are equipped with these tiny bedrooms.
These bedrooms are not accessible to the passengers and in order to access them, the crew have to walk through a hidden staircase which leads to a small room with 6 to 10 beds. Some of the CRCs are equipped with bathrooms as well as in-flight entertainment for the crew. The size as well as location of the CRCs vary, depending on the type of aircraft. Most Boeing 777s have up to 10 beds as well as a storage facility for flight attendants’ belongings during the journey. (source)
5. Airplanes are capable of taking off and landing with only one working engine.
Most twin engine planes are also capable of flying with only one working engine. In fact, most airplanes are capable of taking off and landing with just one engine. Engine failure is not typically a huge concern for pilots, since they are trained to handle the aircraft in such situations. In case of an engine failure, the pilots follow a certain set of protocols to make sure that the failed engine is safe and secure – then they look for the nearest airport.
Engines are built with high standards and as a result, a robust piece of invention is obtained. Engines have built-in fire extinguishers, that the pilots can easily activate with the flick of a button to stop any fire within. Even if the fire extinguisher fails to stop the fire, the engine’s casing is built to stop the fire from spreading towards the rest of the aircraft.
In 2005, an Atlantic 747 with four engines encountered an engine failure. The pilot decided to continue with the rest of the journey, all the way over the Atlantic ocean and back the to the UK, without a problem. By doing so, he not only saved the company $200,0000, he also proved the stability and accuracy of these mean machines. (source 1, 2)
6. There is an emergency escape hatch on the flight deck for the flight crew.
The escape hatches on the flight deck are designed for quick getaways, in the case of an emergency. All Boeing 747s have this feature built into the flight deck ceiling of the cockpit. The hatch provides the three-member cabin to escape, in case the normal exit is blocked for some reason.
The hatch is also used in case of a fire, crash or hijackings. It is also equipped with three inertial reels for the three crew members. The reel is attached to a cable; which each crew member drops at a controlled distance from the roof, to safely escape. All jetliners manufactured in the United States are required to have this emergency exit.
In 1986, a Pan American World Airways cockpit crew used the hatch to escape to safety, after the aircraft was overpowered by four armed hijackers. (source)
7. The tires used in airplanes are specially designed not to pop during landing.
One thing we never see is an airplane tire popping during landing. Even though the tires are hitting the ground at 170 miles per hour, while carrying the weight of a modest office building, they always manage to stay intact. A single airplane tire is capable of handling a 38-ton load and can safely land 500 times before then need of a re-tread.
Each tire can be refreshed (re-tread) seven times during its entire life-cycle. A Boeing 777 uses 14 tires and is inflated to 200 psi; roughly six times that of a regular automobile tire. During landing, when the tires first touch the ground, they are skidding and not rolling. This continues for a while along the runway, until the tires rotational velocity matches the velocity of the plane.
In case the plane requires a new tire, the ground crew is always ready to jack up the plane like an ordinary car and change it. (source)
8. Airplane lavatory doors can be unlocked from outside; despite the fact that they are locked from inside.
Sometimes, the cabin crew face situations in which a child gets stuck inside or a person requires urgent medical attention inside an airplane lavatory. In such cases, the crew must act fast as time is of the essence. To open a lavatory door that is locked from the inside, there is no special key designed. The crew only require their quick thinking and their fingers to slide open a secret switch hidden under the lavatory sign.
By simply lifting the small sign that says “lavatory”, an unlocking mechanism is revealed. Sliding the latch to the left opens even doors that are locked from the inside. However, this secret mechanism was created for security reasons and the safety of passengers. It’s best not to play around with it and open a closed lavatory while a stranger is using it. (source)
9. The cabin crew in airplanes dim lights before landing, so the passengers eyes are already adjusted to the darkness.
We have all wondered why the cabin crew go through the process of dimming the lights, right before landing? Why? We need to have lights so we can see what is happening in our surroundings. Does that make sense? Of course not. The cabin crew dim the interior lights so that in case of an unlikely event there’s a landing failure and passengers need to be evacuated, their eyes are already adjusted to the darkness. According to Chris Cooke, an experienced pilot,
“Imagine being in an unfamiliar bright room filled with obstacles when someone turns off the lights and asks you to exit quickly.”
Similarly, the cabin crew asks you to keep your window shades open, so you are aware of what’s going on outside; in case of an unlikely event during take off. (source)
10. If a flight you planned to travel on is overbooked, you can get cash instead of vouchers.
Airlines love to overbook and put their passengers on a wait list. This is because airline companies believe that in every flight, there would be at least one or two no-shows. By overselling tickets, they make extra money without much effort.
When everyone on the list shows up, that’s when things turn ugly and bumping begins. If a flight is overbooked, the airline will start offering free vouchers for meals due to the inconvenience they have caused. But guess what? You can actually demand cash instead of vouchers. If an airline fails to get you to your destination between one and two hours of your scheduled arrival on a domestic flight, or between one and four hours on an international trip, it owes you compensation of 200 percent of the one-way fare to your destination, up to $650.
According to the Department of Transportation, if they fail to meet these requirements, then they owe you 400 percent of the fare, up to $1,300. (source) | aerospace |

Connotations of space sustainability include addressing all bases so that space activity develops to maximize human benefit. NASA’s ethics practice advances key mission objectives by supporting workforce talent acquisition, talent transfer to other organizations supporting national space objectives, disseminating public information on NASA’s activities, and advancing space commerce development. Following the earlier concurrent development of US government ethics law and human spaceflight, the United Nations Convention Against Corruption (UNCAC) has advanced a global anti-corruption framework of which government ethics is part. The significance of government ethics becoming part of a broader anti-corruption norm is magnified by the extraordinary signaling value of space, exemplified by how space related work has been used to signal power and prestige. Consequently, a reputationally adverse event in space may damage public perception of space activities far out of proportion to its role in the aggregate. Therefore, government ethics considerations are germane to ensuring, in order to keep space exploration on a sustainable route, that space messaging does not signal contrary to evolving international anti-corruption norms. Space exploration actors should individually and in their collective efforts consider the implications for government ethics in their activities to ensure humanity’s best future space path.

WRIGHT-PATTERSON AIR FORCE BASE, Ohio (AFRL) – The Air Force Research Laboratory’s Battlefield Air Targeting Man-Aided Knowledge team, referred to as BATMAN, lent its effort to the Air and Space Forces’ Small Business Innovation Research program to make a few former Airmen’s dreams come true and potentially deliver a badly needed survival radio charger to the warfighter.
These former Airmen formed the service-disabled, veteran-owned small business, Combat Power Solutions, to develop innovative technology that solves real-life warfighter challenges, such as those they’d seen as Special Warfare Airmen. Their company, CPS, had only been in operation for a little over a year when they submitted an idea to SBIR and were invited to present their idea at the very first SBIR/Small Business Technology Transfer Pitch Day in New York City March 6-7, 2019.

This is the US Navy’s airship Los Angeles, the most successful of America’s rigid-body airships, engaging in a maneuver that proved dirigibles like these could be fueled without landing.
It was also designed (sort of) for use as an airborne aircraft carrier. Planes, you see, are awfully vulnerable on the ground, until they actually get up and start flying around. If you can make it so they take off in mid-air, then you don’t have to worry about someone else flying over and dropping bombs on them.
This was a zeppelin, made by the Luftschiffbau Zeppelin engineers for the Allies as part of a reparations deal after World War I – an agreement that stipulated their creations would only be used for civilian purposes. Britain, you see, had too many memories of their airstrips (and everything else) being bombed by German airships like these.
The Germans operated this ship with hydrogen, but the Navy – years before the Hindenburg disaster – thought that was too risky and used more expensive helium instead. | aerospace |

The missile firings were conducted off the coast of New South Wales on 24 June against two unmanned aerial targets launched from the Beecroft Range at Jervis Bay.
Melbourne’s MK-41 vertical launch system deployed the missiles, controlled in flight, resulting in successful engagements with the targets as part of her operational training program.
Commanding Officer Melbourne Commander Bill Waters said Navy ships conducted mariner and war-fighting training all year round to prepare for operational duties and this firing proved the effectiveness of the frigate’s combat systems.
“We do extensive simulation, but by conducting a live missile firing we validate this training and prove the accuracy and precision of our combat systems,” Commander Waters said.
The Evolved Sea Sparrow is a medium-range, semi-active homing missile that makes flight corrections via radar and mid-course data uplinks.
It can be used against surface-to-air and surface-to-surface targets.
The missile is part of a suite of weapons used by Australian frigates.
Later this year, Melbourne will deploy to the Middle East as part of Operation MANITOU where she will support efforts to counter and deter terrorism and the trade of narcotics.
MANITOU is the Australian Defence Force’s maritime security contribution to the international effort to promote security, stability and prosperity in the Middle East region. | aerospace |

Southwest Airlines Co. (NYSE: LUV), operating as Southwest Airlines, is the largest low-cost carrier in the U.S. headquartered in Dallas, Texas. The airline was established in 1967 adopting its current name in 1971, and as of June 5, 2011[update] is the largest airline in the United States based upon domestic passengers carried.
Although it operated Boeing 727 aircraft for a short time during the 1970s and 1980s, between that time and 2012 the airline operated only Boeing 737 aircraft, and as of September 30, 2011[update] was the largest operator of the 737 worldwide with over 550 of these aircraft in service, each operating an average of six flights per day.
In May 2011 the airline acquired Orlando-based AirTran Airways, with full integration of the carriers taking place over several years, and on March 1, 2012, the company was issued a single operating certificate meaning that from a technical standpoint, Southwest and AirTran became one airline. As a result, following the merger, Southwest also began operating the Boeing 717. | aerospace |

It was my first time to fly the A340 and payed for Seat 05L in Economy Class which was then changed for some reason i don’t understand (no aircraft change). Furthermore the paid inflight service was very slow so i wasn’t able to buy a snack and drink even though i only sat in row 25 (of 36)!! Very poor service…
Iberia also uses these planes to fly from Spain to South America (around 12 hour flight time) and the seats were horribly worn out – i could feel the metal under the cushion all the time… Also they don’t have personal inflight entertainment screens (on this long haul aircraft)! Overall a very poor, expensive experience i had back in 2016… – they might have retrofitted the cabin now.

Two pilots were on board dropping water on the Jade fire — both of them were hospitalized with injuries. The helicopter was on contract to the B.C. Fire Service by TransWest Helicopters, based in Chilliwack.
The helicopter lost power due to a fuel flow problem. Below are some excerpts from the report:
As the helicopter slowed and started to descend past a ridgeline into the creek valley, the engine lost power. The pilot-in-command, seated in the left-hand seat, immediately turned the helicopter left to climb back over the ridgeline to get to a clearing, released the water bucket and the 130-foot long-line from the belly hook, and descended toward an open area to land. The helicopter touched down hard on uneven, sloping terrain, and pitched over the nose. When the advancing main-rotor blade contacted the ground, the airframe was in a near-vertical, nose-down attitude, which then rotated the fuselage, causing it to land on the left side. A small post-crash fire ignited. The pilot-in-command sustained a concussion and was rendered unconscious. The copilot escaped with minor injuries and dragged the pilot-in-command from the wreckage. The pilot-in-command regained consciousness a few minutes later. The helicopter was substantially damaged. The 406-megahertz emergency locator transmitter was activated, but its antenna fitting fractured; as a result, the search and rescue satellite network did not receive a signal.
Findings as to causes and contributing factors
- The engine fuel control unit was contaminated with metallic debris that likely disrupted fuel flow and caused the engine to lose power.
- The nature and slope of the terrain in the touchdown area caused the helicopter to roll over during the emergency landing. | aerospace |

As the technological pillar of Europe's ambitious Single European Sky (SES) initiative, SESAR defines, develops and deploys what is required to increase ATM performance and build Europe's intelligent air transport system. Currently, more than 3,000 experts are involved in SESAR whose aim is configuring the new generation of air traffic management.
The improvement of air traffic management to achieve more efficient and less polluting aviation is indeed the focus of the thesis of Javier Alberto Pérez Castán, which has led him to be placed in the second position in the 2019 SESAR Young Scientist Award. He is a Technical Aeronautical Engineer and Aeronautical Engineer and holder of a doctorate degree by the Universidad Politécnica de Madrid (UPM). He is currently an Assistant Lecturer at the School of Aeronautical and Space Engineering [Escuela Técnica Superior de Ingeniería Aeronáutica y del Espacio, ETSIAE].
“Impact of continuous climb operations in a high traffic density TMA”, as per his thesis title, focuses on the so-called continuous climb operations (CCOs). These kind of operations are flight procedures that allow aircraft to carry out the most efficient climb, as well as having a great environmental impact on the airport environment, since they helps to reduce both fuel consumption and air pollutant emissions Nowadays, air traffic controllers have to restrict aircraft's rate of ascent and descent to ensure air traffic safety; and therefore, in large airports where air traffic density is very high, this constitutes a major drawback due to the large number of interactions between the air traffic controller and the aircraft, which makes achieving optimal trajectories impossible.
This distinction, granted by SESAR, recognizes young researchers who have made remarkable contributions in the field of air traffic management. The innovative contributions of Javier Pérez's thesis have allowed him to earn this second position: “I have developed a new methodology to analyse the CCOs integration, applied to Palma de Mallorca airport. The main milestones have been the definition of new runway separation minima based on the time difference between two consecutive aircraft taking off, the development of a new conflict-risk model to determine the probability of conflict between aircraft and the and the quantification of the theoretical capacity reduction by the integration of CCOs.”
The award as best young European researcher at ATM has been given to Yunzi Sun, from TU Delft University and third place went to Leonid Sedov, from Linköping University.
The jury, made up of SESAR Joint Undertaking experts and also independent experts in ATM and aviation fields, has met the following criteria when assessing these theses: their relevance to the research in the field of ATM and aviation; the level of innovation achieved, its depth and development beyond the state of the art; scientific excellence and robustness of the approach; impact and relevance of the publications; links between the applicant and the European exchanges during the research; structure, clarity and appropriateness with regard to the thesis document.
It is worthy to mention that Javier's thesis obtained an outstanding mark of 10 out of 10 with international mention in his dissertation at the UPM for obtaining his doctoral degree. In addition, the completion of the thesis has led to the publication of four research articles in indexed journals, several congresses, and a predoctoral stay at the aerospace faculty of the TU Delft University.
100% UPM education
Javier Alberto Pérez Castán is currently an Assistant Lecturer at ETSIAE. All his educational background is linked to the Universidad Politécnica de Madrid. He completed his degree in Technical Aeronautical Engineering in 2010 with the best academic results of his specialisation in Airports and Air Transport. He went on to study the degree in Aeronautical Engineering, which he obtained in 2013 and later he completed with the Master's Degree in Aerospace Engineering in 2014, to finally obtaining his doctorate in aerospace engineering in 2018. In addition, he belongs to the Air Navigation Research Group (GINA-UPM).
“The training I received at the UPM is technically very good. Particularly, it was really important for me carrying out the Technical Aeronautical Engineering degree because there were very applied and specialised studies, which allowed me to find the professional field in which I wanted to develop my research career”, he acknowledges.
Now, from the teacher's class platform, he observes the evolution the School is undertaking. “ETSIAE has changed a lot since I started my studies in 2007. It has not lost its main pillars on which it rests, but it is in a process of evolution to offer the best possible aeronautical training. Although the entire school does an excellent job, the specialisation in Air Navigation and Airports provide a unique training in Spain to ETSIAE students. In addition, job opportunities within this sector are quite attractive since progress is being made towards a joint European integration, which makes this sector one of the most promising fields in research, professional and personal development”. | aerospace |

Solar Impulse pilot and co-founder Andre Borschberg finished up his final turn at the controls with a sun-drenched landing at Cairo International Airport at 7:14 a.m. Wednesday (10:14 p.m. PT Tuesday), almost 49 hours after he took off from Seville in Spain.
“It’s fantastic to have this team, and to be able to do what we do with this spirit – it’s super,” Borschberg told the mission control team in Monaco via a cockpit radio connection.
Now it’s up to his fellow founder, Swiss psychiatrist-adventurer Bertrand Piccard, to close the 22,000-mile loop and pilot the solar-powered plane to Abu Dhabi, the place where the journey began in March 2015.

An evaluation flight with 20 people from 8 countries was carried out in 2000. The group included several specialists within different fields. The flight evaluation report concluded that the work with an international air network should continue. During the COMNAP meeting in China in July, 2002 it was agreed to establish an organisation, DROMLAN.
The administrative structure of DROMLAN consists of a Steering Committee, a Support Group and an Executive Director. The Steering Committee is responsible for the general direction of the DROMLAN, and consists of one representative from each participating country. This Committee is the DROMLAN project’s decision making body for policy, financial matters, operating guidelines and the annual programme and decisions are reached by consensus. The Executive Director acts on behalf of DROMLAN nations within a framework agreed by the Steering Committee.
The aim of the DROMLAN project is to provide air transport to/from and within DML to any member country of COMNAP and the Scientific Committee for Antarctic Research (SCAR) in science related activities, including logistics. This includes the following actions:
- To organize air transport between Cape Town and DML.
- To maintain and improve the airfield at the Novolazarevskaya station and establish and maintain an airfield at the Troll station.
- To organize feeder flights inside DROMLAN area.
- To organize any other service necessary for the flights above.
DROMLAN operations up to date
The intercontinental flights between Cape Town and Novolazarevskaya (Russia) and Troll (Norway) have been performed with Ilyushin IL-76TD and C-130 Hercules aircraft. The Antarctic Logistic Center International (ALCI) performed the majority of the DROMLAN operations to date in co-operation with the DROMLAN members.
The C-130 flights have been carried out to TROLL Airfield, only (by the Norwegian Royal Air Force in season 2004/2005 and by the Swedish Royal Air Force in season 2005/2006).
Since the 2002/2003 season, flight operations are being established under contract between national operators and the commercial operator (for the time been ALCI) organizing intercontinental flights. National operators support feeder flights to various stations and provide other services necessary.
One important development has been the establishment of a detailed and individual weather forecast at Neumayer station, in order to improve safety and reliability of intercontinental and feeder flight activities.
DROMLAN flight pattern
Both Novolazarevskaya-Airbase and Troll Runway have been fully operational since the 2004/2005 season. National and commercial operators will further support feeder flights within Dronning Maud Land. Supporting services such as weather forecasts, fuel provision and accommodation are being provided by national operators. The principle flight pattern is to get rapid access to the region as well as to extend the summer season period. Depending on the requested number of passengers and amount of cargo DROMLAN aims to perform 6 to 7 intercontinental flights from Cape Town. The connection flights to the various destinations in the operational area will be provided by small aircraft such as Basler (BT-67), Twin Otter, Dornier 228-101 operated by the national programs.
DROMLAN long term plans
A long term plan has been worked out for 5 years, as the first period of the project, lasting from 2003 until 2008. Both the Airfields at Novolazarevskaya and TROLL will be operational for intercontinental flights and in use during this period. Necessary upgrading of both airfield facilities will take place in the said period, as needs arise and funds are made available. National and commercial operators will further support feeder flights within DML with weather forecast, fuel and accommodation.
Based on experience thus far, DROMLAN has proved to be a very efficient way for national operators with mutual interest in the same geographical area to solve transport needs in a cost effective and rapid way. Preparation and daily administrative matters can be directed to a smaller group, tasked to deal with these issues, and working effort can be given in full scale to own programmes and scientific work.
We, the DROMLAN Community, like to think that this set up could stand as a model for other international co-operation, both in science and logistics in Antarctica, and hope that other COMNAP and SCAR members can also benefit from our airlink set up. | aerospace |

AirVenture attracted 578,000 people from Aug. 27 through Sunday.
Last year’s numbers were down due to high fuel costs and the sagging economy.
In a statement, EAA President Tom Poberezny (pob-er-EZ’-nee) says the highlights, enthusiasm and passion for aviation made AirVenture 2009 the best ever.
Next year, he expected festivities related to the 75th anniversary of the DC-3 and further developments in Virgin Galactic’s space tourism efforts.
This year, the public got to see Virgin Galactic’s new airplane designed to launch a spaceship with tourists into space.
EAA AirVenture spokesman Dick Knapinski (nuh-PIHN’-skee) said there were more than 2,600 showplanes, 750 commercial exhibitors and nearly 2,200 international visitors this year. | aerospace |
