The aircraft are scheduled for delivery in November and December 2012.
GECAS President and CEO Norman C.T. Liu said: “GECAS is very pleased to be partnering with the flag carrier of Myanmar. These two aircraft – which are modern, fuel-efficient aircraft powered by GE engines — will help Myanma Airways expand its fleet, and their operations. This is another example of our strategy to build our business in emerging markets,” he added.
With this contract, Myanmar becomes the 76th country where GECAS leases aircraft.
Myanma Airways Managing Director Than Tun added: “We are delighted to begin working with established companies like GE and Embraer to help build and modernize our transportation infrastructure and expand the benefits of air travel to our citizens.”
The Embraer E190, powered by CF34-10E engines made by GE Aviation, will expand and modernize the Myanma Airlines fleet. As the General Electric Company reported, over 1,000 orders for E-Jets have been placed and over 800 units delivered, to date. The aircraft have ranges of up to 2,400 nautical miles (4,448 kilometers) and feature state-of-the-art, fly-by-wire technology that increase operating safety while reducing pilot workload and fuel consumption. | aerospace |

OSHKOSH !!!
The past few weeks have seen both myself and Phil from Canberra (the cursed one for our regular readers) over in Oshkosh - Wisconsin for the first showing of the Sting in the United States.
To say the response has been overwhelming would be an understatement. The plane was so well received by both the press and the general public that the aircraft's future in the US has been secured for many years to come. Our new XCOM 760 radio also had the honour of receiving the best product of show award; so overall we couldn't be happier. Please read on for a full report........ * Click on any of the images for a larger view
We arrived in Oshkosh three days before the official start of the event because we had so much to organise. Being our first trip to Oshkosh as exhibitors I guessed we would need every hour of those three days to find our site, pitch the tent, find our aircraft and get everything set-up.... How wrong could I be.
The EAA centre was so well organised that we were directed to the site in about 10 minutes. The tent and other equipment we had posted over months before turned up a few minutes later and a truck with our Sting rolled by about 1 hour after that. We had it all setup and ready in about 4 hours from arriving. Not what I expected but it gave us a few days to recover from jet lag, catch a movie and get all the latest news and gossip before the show started.
The Sting Arrives....
The next few days were eaten up as the public started turning up before the official start of the show and we spent many enjoyable hours talking with our new friends.
Ready for Action...... Day 1
Day one started the same as day 7 finished.... BUSY. It was rare for either Phil or myself to get a break, let alone lunch. We were kept busy from start to finish by the thousands of visitors who wanted information on the Sting and Star and the new XCOM radio. Following are the most asked questions which came from the visitors to our site.
Tell us about certification and registration in the USA and Canada ??
There are a number of ways to register the Sting and Star in the USA and it is made reasonably easy by the high levels of certification the aircraft has with its foreign Type Certificates.
Option 1. A normal aircraft.
The USA has a bilateral agreement with both the Czech Republic (where the aircraft is manufactured) and also with Germany. Germany is an ICAO nation and its airworthiness standards are internationally recognised throughout the other ICAO nations of which USA is one. We have started the paperwork approvals for having the aircraft accepted onto the USA register under these bilateral agreements. I expect the acceptance to be fairly straight forward as we have just completed the same process in Australia. Timing for acceptance is questionable depending on who in the FAA you talk to but I would expect approvals to be in place well before the end of this year. This may sound like a long time but delivery is currently at around 6 months from the factory.
Option 2. Experimental 51%.
We have a builder assist program in place where the purchaser can travel to the Czech Republic and spend up to 4 weeks working on their aircraft under the supervision and guidance of the aircraft manufacturers TL-Ultralight. The program allows for most of the major airframe work to be completed by the owner with the painting, engine, instrument fitout and test flying to be completed by the factory technicians. This option would qualify the builder for the Amateur Built 51% rule but the aircraft would not be Type Certified on completion.
Option 3. Sport Pilot.
Creating a lot of interest in Oshkosh was news of the new Sport Pilot program which is expected to be approved in the first quarter of next year according to the FAA and the EAA. Sport Pilot opens up the market for new aircraft like the Sting and the Star where a customer can purchase a factory built aircraft and operate it on a normal license which does not require a first class medical.
We need to make a few changes to the aircraft to fit the Sport Pilot rules as they currently stand and this includes the removal of the Woodcomp Constant Speed Propeller. The proposal bans the use of in flight adjustable propellers and there is also a limit for maximum speed in level flight of 115 knots.
The Sting obviously is well over this speed with the constant speed propeller but we are bringing out a new model called the STING SPORT which is manufactured to suit the Sport Pilot requirements. The Sting Sport will have a fixed pitch ground adjustable propeller which will be pitched and matched to a slightly reduced power output which will qualify the Sting at 115 knots to fit into the Sport Pilot category, The Star model will fit into the Sport Pilot category without any modification, powered by either the 80 or 100 HP Rotax engines matched to a fixed pitch propeller.
The Star model is almost overlooked by many customers who get drawn in by the Sting's aggressive looks and carbon fibre construction but the Star is worthy of more than casual attention. The Star is available in the USA for around $40,000 fully built with the 80 hp engine and basic instruments. Most kit aircraft are costing more than this and you still need to spend up to 3 years building them.
Can I be a dealer ???
After 10,000 requests a day at Oshkosh we have decided against appointing dealers in the USA for a number of reasons... firstly, it lifts the price because there is another mouth to feed..... It will also slow down support for our owners because there is a longer line of communication needed. Many have asked how we can support the US markets from Australia and it's really very simple - we have proven this with our international support for our other brand of aircraft, the X-Air.
Support is offered either over the phone or more commonly through the Internet. Being around the other side of the world has its benefits because when your working on you're plane or have the time to make contact it's generally late afternoon or early evening and that's when we are starting our day. Any questions can be answered immediately by phone or email and we also have the benefit of extensive product knowledge on the Sting and the Star aircraft from spending several months at the factory over the past 18 months. Any parts will be supplied direct from the manufacturer in the Czech Republic or directly from Australia. Most deliveries from either location on UPS or FedEx take less than 4 days so you're never far from help. The factory would prefer not to communicate direct with customers because of the language and communication barrier except in an emergency so it's all left to us.
We may consider appointing state agencies in the future but for the moment we are really interested in getting some aircraft affordably flying in the USA.
Can I put a Jabiru engine in her ??
We have been asked this several hundred times over the Oshkosh event and the simple answer is yes..... But, why would you.
The 2.2 Jabiru is underpowered for the aircraft at around 65 hp..... I know the sales brochure says 80hp, but it's not. The 3.3 engine is advertised at 120 hp and would suit the aircraft but it's not certified. The 2.2 is the only certified engine and, being underpowered, the aircraft wouldn't perform to its capability. The uncertified 3.3 could be used in a 51% build but the aircraft range has been designed around the successful, certified Rotax 80, 100 and 115 hp engines.
How does she fly ??
Easy question for us because we know the aircraft but for a new plane in a new market there must be lots of doubts. We were very privileged to have interest from the International and US media throughout the event and Phil flew a couple of Photographic missions for the magazines, I also had the pleasure of taking Dan Johnson up flying.
Dan is a nice guy with experience flying over 300 different aircraft. He has published stories, which appear monthly in Ultralight Flying, Kitplanes, EAA Experimenter, General Aviation News, Hang Gliding, Fly & Glide (Germany), and Volare (Italy) ...and other titles on a non-monthly basis. He is respected as one of the most experienced and unbiased reviewers in the industry.
It was my pleasure and a great experience to spend a couple of hours with him in the Sting to the South West of Oshkosh.... He really knows his stuff and I learnt a lot from his flying and the way he tests an aircraft. I was really interested in his comments on the plane.... We knew it was a good one but without the experience to compare to hundreds of others you sometimes wondered if it was really that good or you were just becoming familiar and one with the plane. Well my beliefs in the aircraft were reinforced during our debrief after the test and we were delighted to be given a very big thumbs up !! Dan has advised that both Kitplanes and EAA's Experimenter are both interested in running articles on the Sting so we will have to wait with baited breath for their release......
Of further interest: Dan Johnson is starting his own web site http://www.ByDanJohnson.com The site will offer hundreds of pilot reports, thousands of airplane photos, and unique interactive features to help buyers of light aircraft select the right plane for them (PlaneFinder / SpecCheck / PlaneView / Pros & Cons). The site is still being built but you may sign up now to be notified when the site goes live.
It cant be all from me.... here is a quick report from Phil......
Oshkosh is one of the most amazing displays of organisation that I have ever encountered. I found it extraordinary that, with so many aircraft movements, few if any accidents or incidents were seen. I highly commend the EAA on their ability to bring the airshow together in such a professional manner.
Flying during the Oshkosh airshow is an experience that one will never forget. NOTAMs detail the unique procedures for entry into and departure from the Oshkosh airspace but it is not until you actually use those procedures that you realise the thought that must have gone into the preparations and planning.
During the airshow, aircraft simply start engines and begin to taxi. At each taxiway, ground marshallers marshall the aircraft to the appropriate runway. A sign in the cockpit window indicates the type of flight, VFR or IFR, and the marshallers direct the aircraft accordingly. Aircraft are directed based on type and/or callsign and no read-back of any radio calls is required.
Our flying at Oshkosh consisted of a number of early morning flights. The Sting had to be at the stand from 9:00 am each morning so each flight had to be conducted prior to that time. The first flight was a test flight to ensure that the aircraft as ready for a close formation photo shoot - we didn't want any unexpected events to occur while in close formation. Michael, along with local guide Mario, conducted a short flight to 'prove' the plane and that was our first introduction to the 'limited radio' procedures.
As the rain showers and low cloud continued, we fought to maintain visual contact with the aircraft in front and finally made our way via Fisk back to Oshkosh for a smooth touchdown. I was pleased with clocking up 1.7 hours of flying since I had little opportunity to fly since the accident back in February.
On the way back we encountered a few more rain squalls but Bill felt confident enough to maintain the controls. We approached final on runway 36 and could not identify the two aircraft in front who were hidden in the squall so I got on the radio and requested a short final approach, on the left side of 36 - the first radio call I had made all day! We were granted a straight in approach so Bill brought us in low to maintain visual and lined us up for touchdown. As we approached on short final, we were unexpectedly hit by a squall with a 30 knot crosswind gust which forced us over the grass on the left side of the runway. I quickly grasped the controls and with the agility of the Sting managed to position ourselves back on the left side of the strip for a very fast, flapless approach and touchdown at 70 knots. I guess that military training does pay off sometimes. After a congratulatory cheer from the controller for our recovery, we were guided off the runway and into the hands of the ground marshallers.
Another failed attempt due to bad weather to get Bill checked out on the Sting meant that either Michael or I had to deliver the Sting to Little Rock, Arkansas. As Michael had hired the car, and the insurance did not cover me, I was the bunny who had the task of navigating the countryside in search of North Little Rock airfield, some 700 miles south of Oshkosh.
I was impressed by the professionalism of the briefing staff and felt a lot more comfortable flying across a foreign nation after spending ten minutes talking to the staff about the procedures and expected conditions enroute. After the briefing, Michael and I prepared the Sting. After a short warm up, I gave the taxi call and headed to Basling Aviation for fuel. The traffic departing Oshkosh was tremendous and after a full half hour waiting for a clearance to taxi, I was off.
My take-off had to be arrested since all of the other aircraft were quickly falling away in front of me and, with the large number of aircraft around, I didn't want to be caught out in a close quarters situation so I reduced power to about 50% at 200 feet and continued a gradual ascent at the rate of the Cessna and Baron in front. As I made the left turn from 27 to head south, I quickly overtook the other two aircraft in front whom appeared to be cruising at about 100 knots. It was a beautiful day and I trimmed the Sting for straight and level flight, 120 knots at 4500' and sat back with my hands off the controls to admire the view.
Again, the first few hours were pleasant, warm and cosy with clear skies and beautiful views. About an hour and a half from Little Rock however I began to encounter the foreboding weather that I had been briefed about that morning. The cloud started to close and the rain began to fall. I dropped down to 2000' and cautiously headed south, avoiding the thunderheads growing above. The cloud became thicker and dropped to the deck and I began hopping from airfield to airfield with the intention of stopping as soon as the next field was unreachable. I was lucky enough to keep to the west of the worst weather and found my way to Little Rock about half an hour after the planned arrival.
As I approached Little Rock, I was again surprised by the lack of radio calls made by pilots in the US. Right beside North Little Rock is a National Guard airfield with a number of helicopters operating. As I avoided the restricted areas and finally turned east for my final approach to North Little Rock, a Blackhawk and an Iroquios helicopter flew past at about 100 feet below me. I don't know whether they saw me or whether they just ignored me but it was then that I started to think that the lack of radio calls in the US must cause some near misses, especially given the bad weather regularly encountered across the nation.
I finally joined the circuit and landed after 6 and a half hours flying. I rang Bill and surprisingly, he was on his way to the airport within minutes. He was keen to get airborne so after a couple of cold drinks, we took to the skies for his second check ride. After 14 landings I was confident that Bill had finally mastered the Sting and we called it a night and headed for home.
I spent the next 10 minutes being scanned and going through my backpack, my only piece of luggage for the trip. Now I was wishing I hadn't waited until last as I saw them close the doors to the walkway to the aircraft. Finally they finished and allowed me to leave so I rushed down the walkway to board. Phew, I just made it !
The Hostess began her speech. "Ladies and gentlemen, please make it look like you are giving me your attention as I brief you on the safety precautions of this aircraft which I hope that we won't need". Hmmmmm, not the normal intro to the safety talk. "If the cabin should lose pressure I will be sitting in my seat crying and masks will fall from the ceiling. Pull on the mask firmly, place it over your nose and mouth and breath like this ..." She then proceeded to make heavy breathing sounds over the intercom. "Yes It was me who rang your house last night and no I won't promise never to do it again. For those of you who are travelling with small children ...... I'm sorry...... "say goodbye to them now"
This was the strangest safety brief I had ever heard, but nonetheless, it was entertaining.
As we taxied in after landing, the hostess again came onto the intercom. "Thankyou for flying SouthWest. I'm sure that you found it enjoyable; and I'm sure that you won't find a cheaper, less frills airline with hosts more attractive anywhere in the US anyway."
Ah, it's good to be back in Chicago.
Featuring in the EAA Airventure Today Newspaper was a fantastic report on the Sting which drew the crowds to our stand...
A Funny Story......
A guy came up to us near the end of the show and said 'how much for your plane'. We had to politely tell him that it was already sold and awaiting delivery for the new owner but he kept persisting.....
'I don't care if it's sold - I want it !!'
This went on for a few minutes with his insistance that "I will give you more than the other guy paid". Again politely explained it was sold and that we wouldn't dump the original purchaser....
Anyway he reached into his pocket and said "last chance..... This is an offer you wont refuse" but we again shook our heads. He then proceeded to pull out a $1,000,000 note...... And said
'You've just missed your big chance'.......
After a brief inspection we realised it was fake and he had his details printed on the back as a business card !! It brought a nice smile to everyone in the group and this is really the atmosphere of Oshkosh... no barriers between visitors. Everyone is there with a common interest and a good humour and I guess that's why the event is so successful.
By the way, it was Ric Lee of Mountain High Oxygen Systems who was flashing the cash....
I was happy to report the successful completion of some world records in the last newsletter. Well we might be in trouble with them....... Seems I didn't fully understand the ambiguous rules and I may have been overweight for the attempt.
It really depends what section you read but a two place aircraft flown with only one person looks like having a MTOW of only 300 kgs for a world record attempt. If it's flown with two people then you're allowed 450 kgs.... We are waiting for clarification of these rules from the controlling body, the FAI and we are not really put off by their preliminary decision as they still qualify as Australian records. We will have to find a second person, load her up to 450 kgs and go and set them again !! More fun so I am not complaining, but I cant understand how you can have a two seater ultralight aircraft and be only 300 kgs one up ???.
Until next time....... Have fun and fly safe. | aerospace |

Several Russian airlines have received permission to operate regular flights to Azerbaijan, according to the Federal Air Transport Agency of Russia (Rosaviatsia).
The Russian Red Wings air carrier received permission to carry out flights to Baku from Zhukovsky airport twice a week, and Azimut air carrier from Mineralnye Vody to Baku - three times a week, from Makhachkala (Russia's Dagestan Republic) to Baku - also three times a week.
“Besides, Ural Airlines received permission to carry passengers in the direction of Rostov-on-Don - Baku - three times a week, Novosibirsk - Baku, Perm - Baku, Krasnoyarsk - Baku, Kaliningrad - Baku, Nizhny Novgorod - Baku, Astrakhan - Baku and Ufa - Baku - three times a week in each direction,” the message reads.
Moreover, the North Wind air carrier was given permission to operate twice a week flights in the direction of Rostov-on-Don - Baku and Mineralnye Vody - Baku.
The Federal Air Transport Agency (Rosaviatsia) has canceled the passenger transportation for the Azur Air company in the direction of Ufa - Baku, Rostov-on-Don - Baku and Samara - Baku, the report said.
In addition, air carriers received permits to operate flights within the framework of regular and seasonal flights to a number of other destinations. | aerospace |

The pilot project between the partners moves into its second phase follows the success of drone-only trials in Switzerland last summer, Oliver Evans, head of global business development for Matternet, told The Loadstar.
“The Swiss Civil Aviation Authority certified specific routes of 10-15km from Bellechasse, an airfield near Geneva used by private flyers, and we completed a number of missions without incident,” he said. “We’re now in the planning stage of repeating the exercise with real payloads of up to 1kg.”
Mr Evans (pictured) was chief cargo officer at Swiss International Air Lines for 12 years before joining Matternet last year. He believes deliveries by drone will soon become commercial reality despite regulators’ concerns about the activities of hobbyists.
The US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has received more than 1,000 reports of drone crashes and near-misses with aircraft over the last 18 months. The FAA missed a US Congesss deadline of September 2015 to finalise rules for commercial drone use, and expects to publish these by June.
Under an interim policy, US drone operators with so-called Section 333 exemptions can fly drones weighing less than 2.5kg without restrictions at heights of up to 200ft (just over 60 metres), avoiding the need to apply for separate authorisation for each block of airspace they plan to fly through. No retailers or distribution companies hold Section 333 exemptions, which are so far mainly limited to agricultural and survey operations.
Meanwhile, an FAA-administered compulsory registration website for all US small unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) went live in December.
“This is an evolving world and we need regulated airspace, devised in concert with the industry,” Mr Evans said. “There’s an ongoing dialogue between the FAA and companies like ours.”
As he understands it, he added, US drones have so far been limited to private land and must operate in the line of sight. The line-of-sight rule also applies to EU jurisdictions. The longer routes approved by the Swiss authorities were “ground-breaking” in this regard.
Matternet is both a manufacturer and a software developer.
“We manufacture and assemble UAVs via 3D-printing, outsourcing larger pieces but printing many parts ourselves,” Mr Evans explained. “The real magic is in the operating system. We acquire geodata which we incorporate in our operating system so we can map the optimum route for the customer.
“It has always been our intention to operate in the B2B environment in industrial and healthcare logistics, transporting urgent high-value shipments on specific routes such as hospital to clinic,” he said. “In cases such as natural disasters, we could calculate an instant route as long as the data was available on the system.”
No ground-based technology is required except for a dedicated landing place – a “lily pad” installed at the destination which the drone can fix on.
“It is likely that civil aviation authorities will support the development of B2B networks in the near term, especially those that save people’s lives. Commercial deliveries by drone will cut the cost of last-mile delivery, but it’s a matter of public acceptance. People will only accept drones if they are assured on safety,” Mr Evans said. | aerospace |

Or, maybe, you just want to know more about real life landing techniques for General Aviation and Liners. Well… This is for you!
Today I would like to share with you a little secret about landings that is used in real life both in General Aviation and in Airlines Operations to perform a good and stable landing.
Don’t worry, it’s not difficult to perform a good landing if you know some basic facts about it, that I personally discovered only during my real life training.
Let’s start from a little bit of theory. A landing is composed mainly of two phases: the final approach and the flare. During the final approach the aircraft is already configured in your selected flap configuration and you are at the relative approach speed. When you are very low on the runway, let’s say 20 feet or so, you will set the throttle to idle and gently set the attitude of the aircraft to the relative one for the flap configuration preferred to perform the flare.
This is how a landing is composed, but how to maintain a stable approach at the correct speed and at the correct decent rate?
Here it comes the little trick. During the final approach, after flap configuration is set, you will have to change the way you fly the aircraft so that now the attitude (so the yoke or stick) controls the speed and the throttle controls the decent rate. Let’s do an example: we are approaching the runway with a light aircraft with flap configuration t/o (15°). The approach speed for this configuration is 60kts and we are at 500ft. We’ll hold the speed by correcting the attitude (pushing or pulling the yoke) and set a stable decent rate with the throttle. If we need to increase the decent rate we’ll reduce the power and change the attitude (little and gently push of the yoke) to maintain 60kts. If we want to decrease the decent rate we need to set some more power and change the attitude to keep 60kts by gently pulling the yoke.
That’s it! Easy, don’t you think so? I’ve explained this technique with a light aircraft example, but it’s exactly the same (with relative attitudes and speeds) for bigger ones, including liners.
Why don’t you try in the simulator? Of course this is not everything you need to know to perform a landing, there are wind correction techniques and more that you should know, but this is the first step that can help you!
Although this comes from real life training, this article is NOT INTENDED for real life training but only for flight simulation. | aerospace |

The Operations Over People rule became effective on April 21, 2021. Drone pilots operating under Part 107 may fly at night, over people and moving vehicles without a waiver as long as they meet the requirements defined in the rule. Airspace authorizations are still required for night operations in controlled airspace under 400 feet.
Drone operators should avoid flying near airports because it is difficult for manned aircraft to see and avoid a drone while flying. Remember that drone operators must avoid manned aircraft and are responsible for any safety hazard their drone creates in an airport environment. For flight near airports in controlled airspace, drone operators must receive an airspace authorization prior to operation. Airspace authorizations come with altitude limitations and may include other operational provisions. Controlled airspace and other flying restrictions can be found on our B4UFLY app (link below).
The FAA's UAS Data Exchange is an innovative, collaborative approach between government and private industry facilitating the sharing of airspace data between the two parties. Under the FAA UAS Data Exchange umbrella, the agency will support multiple partnerships, the first of which is the Low Altitude Authorization and Notification Capability (LAANC).
Unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) or drones must be registered with the FAA and your registration is valid for three years. Make sure your drone registration is up to date! | aerospace |

This Sunday, the Los Angeles Rams will face the Cincinnati Bengals at the NFL’s Super Bowl LVI. While that’s great news for the sportsball crowd, if you’re a drone pilot who enjoys flying around Los Angeles it will also leave you grounded for the next few days.
Fail to comply with the Super Bowl-specific rules and you could be in for an uncomfortable conversation with your bank manager and quite possibly your lawyer as well. Although ignorance of the rules wouldn’t be a viable defense, the Federal Aviation Administration has nevertheless taken to social media to warn pilots of the restrictions which will be in place over the weekend.
The FAA’s message to the public couldn’t be much more direct: Fly within 30 miles of SoFi Stadium and not only will you lose your drone, you’ll also face civil fines starting at $30,000. And that could prove to be the least of your worries, as there’s also the potential for criminal prosecution.
It’s pretty common for the FAA to put restrictions like these around major sporting events for public safety reasons, and an FAA representative tells DroneLife that both previous Super Bowls had similar 30-mile exclusion zones. The area covered by Sunday’s restriction is certainly vast though, in part because of the proximity of nearby Los Angeles International Airport (LAX). In all, an area some 60 miles across and stretching from ground level up to an altitude of almost 18,000 feet will be affected.
Prior to COVID, LAX was the world’s third-largest airport by passenger traffic, and even now it’s still in the top five busiest passenger airports in the USA. SoFi Stadium sits almost directly under the approach path and just 3.5 miles from LAX’s runway 24L, and commercial traffic to the airport will be continuing as normal. Even before Super Bowl LVI kicks off, drones are already interfering with LA’s traffic semi-regularly, including a recent incident in which a drone came within 700 feet of a passenger airliner.
And on top of all that, the event will also be causing air traffic of its own. There’s a flyover scheduled by the Air Force Heritage Flight and at least two blimps will also be in the vicinity. The Air Force may also have fighter jets nearby to help enforce the no-fly zones. Add in numerous helicopters—not only shuttling VIPs back and forth or providing aerial photography, but also Customs and Border Patrol Blackhawks—and it’s clear LA’s skies are in for a busy weekend even without the drones.
Drone pilots in the LA area should plan to sit out any flying this weekend if they want to be completely safe. If you really must reach for that drone, though, be sure to carefully check your plans first.
You can find detailed information on airspace restrictions aimed at drone pilots by using either the B4UFly apps for Android or iOS, or the web version of the map which you can find here. You’ll also find more information in the official Notice to Air Missions documents located here. | aerospace |

The flight-mechanical models are interchangeable, depending on the application required.
APERO is cockpit simulation environment developed to evaluate new Human Machine Interfaces (HMI) by simulateing avionics displays and panels. It is a non motion PC-based flight simulation facility that can easily be adapted to different aircraft cockpit configurations.
It is primarily used:
- By HMI experts that build new HMI interfaces to test new HMI concepts in a cockpit environment.
- To study new cockpit concepts in an early stage before doing a full flight simulator experiment.
- To do small pilot in the loop experiments fully focussed on the new HMI concept.
- To train pilots how to use these new HMI concepts.
- To test flight simulator software in an early stage.
- To learn people basic cockpit knowledge and aircraft handling.
APERO can also be part of a distributed simulation and can be used as an intelligent blip driver.
The Generic Research Airciraft Cockpit Environment is a full 6 degrees of freedom flight simulator. The basic layout of the simulator is based on Airbus (A330/340) cockpits, but interchanging instruments panels, glare shield panels, mid pedestal and side sticks with column/wheel allows configurations in Boeing (B747), business jet, Fokker and generic full glass layouts.
GRACE can be used for a wide variety of research applications including:
- Training Research
- ATM concept evaluation
- ATM procedure validation.
- Avionics prototyping: display/symbology evaluation
- Human Factors research
- Accident Investigation and Prevention | aerospace |

This journey started for me when i watched a TED talk named the future flying machines.The technology of UAV(Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) flying is grown a lot these days where USA has drones like Mach 6.0 which can fly from one end of the world to other and destroy a target within hours. Using modern technology as weapons is not something new and has been done for hundreds of years from the inventions of gunpowders to the invention of planes.This technology can also be used for other constructive means. These unmanned vehicles can be used for delivering payloads to remote areas. Can be used to scout from various angles. They can be used for building and construction also which is the latest research going on at MIT. There can also be multiple drones deployed which can co-ordinate with each other for a particular task. Mini-drones can also be used for scouting a vehicle across a city by just following it. Most of the tasks mentioned above are not yet practical because the UAV's are not yet safe to be operated within human area.
I wish to use this technology of drones for future research so that i can create flying machines which are helpful to the human race and not just a toy. I am a computer grad student and have no background from electronics. But i have an intense desire to learn and build so i started my journey some 6 months ago when i started learning about drones. As i am low on the amount of money i can spend, i have tried countless hacks to get my project done.I had to build my own frame at first which was too heavy so i had to bring in a new frame. I didn't have a power source so i had to make a modification to the old CPU power supply to get 12V and 5 V power supply. I didn't even have money for a transmitter so i had to build one myself with RF module which was in turn very helpful. I have used a arduino UNO as the flight controller for this drone which is not that powerful.I think that these flying machines are the future and can be used for variety of tasks like Scouting, Guiding, Delivering items to remote places, ect. I wish to build such drones and especially make them safe for air travel. This money will help me in the future journey. All your contributed money will be used to build this project and you can contact me anytime to know the status.
2. Custom Transmitter built using NRF24l01 module which gives me as many channels and freedom of transmission as i like.
3. After some modifications in the design and propeller balancing it finally flies. Video above.
Now as you have seen that the drone i built can only be flown and cannot be used for other purposes. It will need a good brain(flight controller) such as APM ect. I am also thinking about adding a GPS module for co-ordinating it in 3-D space. It is gonna need ultrasonic sensors for crash management. Also there has been countless research in this field as people have come up with algorithms which can keep a drone in flight even when its injured like one of its wing is broken.Also mini drones can be used to enter places where humans can't and can be used for many such activities. I am also a good software programmer so i can build such algorithms.I have been studying about these things a lot lately and the only barrier i have is a financial one where i cannot get the required material for experimentation.
Another barrier of using this technology in practical means is the flight time. As a normal Heli drone operates on a battery, the flight time it gets is very limited. So we need to look at another approach which can keep the drone in air for longer. I have a few ideas regarding that concept too which uses solar panes on the top of mini drones.
The future of drones and robotics is very near. All these machines will be assisting humans in basic day to day tasks where by a human can then concentrate on the more important tasks. This future is very near with the Artificial Intelligence also knocking on its door.Machines generally operate on a specific set of rules known as algorithms which does not help them tackle unexpected situations.The new concepts of machine learning are changing this. The application of machine learning algorithms on the drones is also one area of my study.
Building my first drone was a very difficult task for me . Having absolutely no funds or experience in this field, i had to rely on the Internet. But i remember the happiness i felt when i got the first flight from my drone which I had built completely from scratch. And i want this continued happiness i get when i build something new or solve a new problem.
Please help me as i need funds to continue my project.

“Given that no marsquakes at all have been clearly localized on wrinkle ridges or lobate scarps, that is contractional attributes, the Cerberus Fossae delivers one of a kind insight into Mars’s tectonics as a whole.” Our expanding understanding of Mars shows that the planet has changed a lot over its 4.five billion-year lifespan. “The darker shade of the dust signifies geological proof of much more recent volcanic activity – probably inside the past 50,000 years – reasonably young, in geological terms,” Stähler says. Rumbles detected deep inside Mars have promoted speculations over volcanic activity on the red planet from “doable” to “probably”. This longevity could make it less complicated for us to come across preserved evidence of any bacteria that as soon as lived on Mars, but it also indicates that if we contaminate it with Earthly organisms, that contamination would be practically permanent.
NASA’s Perseverance rover marks its initial year on Mars, seeking for ancient life Given that touching down in Jezero Crater, NASA’s Perseverance rover has currently cached six samples that could one particular day be brought back to Earth. NASA’s Planetary Science Division at the moment operates 14 spacecraft across the solar system, has 12 missions in formulation and implementation, and partners with international space agencies on seven other individuals. Throughout this excursion, the project’s initial, the group aimed to operate the rovers and drones separately with remote assistance from NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in California, which runs true rover missions on Mars, which includes Perseverance and Curiosity.
A month later scientists admitted that the structures have been triggered by high reentry heat. Wright and three co-authors published their analysis on August 9, 2022, in the journal Geophysical Analysis Letters. This theory has been applied to the atmosphere of Mars to compute empirical attenuation models3,four (Fig. four). Although Mars models are in great agreement above ten kHz , they differ strongly in the infrasonic and element of the audible range, depending on the way molecular relaxation is modelled.
Sekou Macalou, the Stade Francais flanker, ended up playing 69 minutes of the match on the wing, continuing Galthié’s summer time experiment, but beneath heightened pressure. France, the victors, defeated the globe-champion Springboks for the 1st time considering that 2009, cementing their status as Planet Cup favourites, but the hosts could not have been produced to operate tougher for it. Not until replacement tighthead Sipili Falatea wriggled more than at the death did the result look anyplace close to assured a second match in two weeks pilfered by the French.
It reaches inferior conjunction with the Sun on May 21, and will reappear by next month in the morning sky. This amazing trick of viewpoint tends to make it appear as if the European Southern Observatory’s Pretty Substantial Telescope is shouldering the weight of Earth’s eclipsed satellite. A longer-than-usual total lunar eclipse will delight skywatchers this month. Since Galileo’s time, quite a few individuals have applied telescopes to explore the planets and expand humanity’s knowledge of them.
Beneath a pretty thin layer, mere millimeters deep in locations, it is not red anymore. This image shows a fragment of the Murchison Meteorite, which fell in Australia in 1969.

Unlocking Billions in Finance and Facilitating U.S. Clean Technology Exports By way of Strategic Investments by the U.S. Export-Import Bank – In April 2021, President Biden announced the launch of the U.S. Trade and Development Agency’s Worldwide Partnership for Climate-Sensible Infrastructure to connect U.S. business to main clean power and transportation infrastructure projects in emerging economies. These activities are designed to help unlock more than $65 billion in climate finance and help more than $15 billion in U.S. exports.

On Venus, the atmospheric pressure is around 92 instances greater than that of Earth at sea level, which is equivalent to getting half a mile underwater on Earth. In October 1967, the Soviet spacecraft Venera 4 calculated the temperature of Venus’ surface and determined that its atmosphere was largely composed of carbon dioxide (95%). “There is a lot counting on this,” Al Chen of JPL, Mars 2020 entry, descent and landing lead, says in the video.
This nevertheless is cutting-edge science, and it will be for the rest of this decade. Due to the uniquely deep drilling, Rosalind Franklin nevertheless could be the initial mission to obtain indicators of life in space. The climate has changed considerably look at these guys since Mars lost its magnetic field three.eight billion years ago, though. The planet is now is dry, cold, has a thin atmosphere and a surface hostile for life.
Rather, they worried that sexual slander was damaging to family members relationships and, by extension, to social hierarchies and the state. Amid bitterly contentious revolutionary politics in the early 1790s, sexual slander was increasingly utilised as a political weapon against politicians and public officials. This libellous speech not only undermined public trust in government but also threatened to spill over into disputes in between private citizens. The study is primarily based on data from the FinnGen analysis project, with additional than 300,000 Finnish biobank participants. If we assume that this primitive microbial biosphere existed on Mars, they might have signed their personal death warrant without having even figuring out it, and it all goes back to the atmosphere.
Carbon is the foundation for all of life on Earth, and the carbon cycle is the all-natural method of recycling carbon atoms. On our house planet, carbon atoms go via a cycle as they travel from the atmosphere to the ground and back to the atmosphere. Most of our carbon is in rocks and sediment and the rest is in the worldwide ocean, atmosphere and organisms, according to NOAA, or the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. Outlining 50 objectives created see this by NASA agency leaders across its mission directorates on places which includes transportation, habitation, infrastructure and science for long-term exploration of the solar program released by NASA earlier this year.
Venus and Saturn will seem closest to every single other the morning of March 29, a small over two degrees apart, with Saturn to the lower ideal of Venus. Saturn and Mars will seem closest to each and every other the morning of April five, much less than 1-half degree apart, with Mars below Saturn. Beginning April 12, Jupiter will join these visible planets above the eastern horizon as morning twilight begins, giving us four of the five visible planets in the morning sky. As the lunar cycle progresses, Saturn and the background of stars will appear to shift westward every single evening as Earth moves about the Sun. Saturn will be at its closest and brightest for the year on Aug. 14, rising about sunset and setting around sunrise. By means of much of Aug. the planet Mercury will set just a couple of minutes just before evening twilight ends but will be shifting to the left along the horizon farther from the Sun.
The hole on the left side is referred to as Montagnac , and the hole on the right is known as Montdenier .

E. Kong, R. Sedwick, D. Miller
Space Systems Laboratory, MIT
Exploitation of new maneuvering algorithms as well as orbital dynamics opens up new opportunities for aperture synthesis using distributed satellite systems (DSS). This paper discusses three such designs as applied to aperture synthesis for visible surveillance systems placed at geosynchronous earth orbit. In all of these designs, free orbits are used to the extent possible in order to allow the satellites, to most completely yet efficiently sweep out the image plane (u-v coverage), to instantaneously provide full coverage, and to also maintain constellation orientation. Preliminary results indicate that formation flying strategies beyond simple station-keeping are viable for the this system, however, for a larger system, such strategies are not practical. | aerospace |

I was 10 years old when the Apollo 11 mission took place. Growing up in a mid-sized town in India I did not have access to TV. I did have a radio. I remember intently listening to the news about the landing on a small crackling transistor radio. Neil Armstrong’s first step was definitely an American accomplishment but was also a tremendous accomplishment for all of humankind. I recollect that my family and I were very excited about it.
As the weeks went by after the landing, some magazines published color pictures of the mission. I would carefully clip them out and paste them on poster boards in my room. I was so excited about NASA and dreamt of working there. I think that was the genesis of my interest in engineering and the desire to push boundaries. Perhaps that is one reason why I have many inventions and patents today.
Years later, when I immigrated to the U.S., I had the opportunity to visit the Control Room at Mission Control in Houston and also look at the Saturn V rockets and they gave me goosebumps. Then two years ago – almost 48 years after the landing, I got to meet Buzz Aldrin in person and tell him my story. I never did work at NASA but as you can perhaps tell, I am still excited about the Apollo missions!
I think ambitious projects like the Moon Shot and Apollo missions are so important – in addition to accomplishing the objective, they also inspire people. In this case they inspired a 10-year-old on the other side of the world who ultimately found his way to the U.S. and now Kansas City.

The Dogecoin community funds the project as part of an initiative that was started in 2015.
On November 16, Dogecoin tweeted that the coin would be delivered on board United Launch Alliance’s Vulcan Centaur rocket in a DHL Moonbox.
Furthermore, the launch from Space Launch Complex-41 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida is set for December 23, 2024. After the news, DOGE’s price increased 8.7% to $0.079, according to CoinGecko.
The first physical bitcoin will be sent to the moon this summer, along with a metal plate engraving the Genesis Block data, according to a cooperation announced earlier this year by cryptocurrency trading firm BitMEX, Astrobotic, and Bitcoin Magazine. On the other hand, no proof has surfaced regarding the success of that previous expedition. For the meme cryptocurrency community, the launch of the new DOGE lunar mission is a momentous milestone. | aerospace |

NASA mission management team chairman Mike Moses said NASA officials have "full confidence" that they have isolated the problem to a switch box, or to some wiring, and both have been replaced.
Tests of the new switchbox and wiring found everything working fine, Moses said.
This will be the final mission for Endeavour, its 25th, before it is retired. It will be commanded by Navy Capt. Mark Kelly. His wife, U.S. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, D-Ariz., intends to attend the launch at Kennedy Space Center. Giffords, who was shot in an attack in January, came to Florida for the April 29 attempt but had to leave when it was scrubbed.
Kelly and the other five astronauts are expected to return to the space center on Wednesday.
However, engineers and technicians still have not figured out why there was a failure in the first place in the switchbox, a complex piece of electronic hardware with numerous circuits. Those tests continue.
Moses and launch director Mike Leinbach announced at a press briefing Monday afternoon that everything appears clear.
"We don't exactly have the root cause," Moses said. "But we have full confidence that we have removed the source of the failure."
The delayed launch of Endeavour means there will be a delay in the next and last launch in the space shuttle program, that of Atlantis. That shuttle was targeted to launch on June 28 but Endeavour's launch schedule is beginning to conflict with Atlantis's pre-launch schedule.
Moses and Leinbach said they do not know when Atlantis would launch and would not make that decision until later. Most likely is the second week in July, Moses said.

GOES-S lifted off on a picture perfect day right at the opening of the launch window on March 1. The satellite reached geostationary orbit on March 12 and was renamed GOES-17. GOES-17 is now undergoing post-launch testing in preparation for taking over as NOAA’s GOES West operational satellite late this year. View the 1Q 2018 newsletter.
On March 1, 2018, at 5:02 PM ET, NOAA’s GOES-S satellite blasted off into space and soon took its place as GOES-17, the nation’s newest satellite in NOAA’s most advanced geostationary series. The Atlas V rocket that launched the satellite propelled it into orbit 22,000 miles above Earth. Although the young satellite has already traveled far from home, its journey to become a vital component of the United States’ weather forecasting operations is only just beginning. Find out what's next for our newest member of the team in this feature.
On March 22, 2018, the GOES-17 Magnetometer (MAG) became the first instrument on the satellite to begin transmitting data! This figure shows data from the outboard Magnetometer instrument on board the GOES-17 satellite. The data has been filtered to highlight a space weather phenomenon known as plasma waves. These waves play a significant role in controlling the levels of dangerous energetic particles that can cause damage to satellites and harm astronauts. An important characteristic of these waves is how fast they oscillate up and down or their frequency (shown in the bottom panel of the figure). The Magnetometers on the GOES-R Series of satellites, with five times higher resolution, can observe more wave frequencies allowing us to undertake research into new space weather products that help forecasters better determine the likelihood that elevated levels of dangerous energetic particles will occur during space weather events.
On March 12, GOES-S executed its final liquid apogee engine burn, placing the satellite in geostationary orbit 22,236 miles away. GOES-S is now GOES-17! Tomorrow, GOES-17 will perform its second stage solar array deployment, releasing the solar array yoke and solar pointing platform. In the days that follow, several maneuvers will be conducted to put GOES-17 in its 89.5 degrees west longitude checkout position. Learn what’s next for GOES-17 in this feature story.
When the sun flared dramatically last September, causing geomagnetic storms and radio blackouts on Earth, a new NOAA solar telescope captured the drama from a different perspective. Now, NOAA has released these new images to the scientific community. The primary mission for the GOES-R Series Solar Ultraviolet Imager, or SUVI, is to support space weather forecasting operations at NOAA’s Space Weather Prediction Center, but its unique properties offer several opportunities for new research. Learn more in this feature from NOAA’s National Centers for Environmental Information.
After a successful separation from the Centaur upper stage, GOES-S began flying freely. Shortly after, the satellite completed deployment of the Stage 1 solar array that will generate electricity for the spacecraft during its mission. GOES-S is orbiting above the Earth, its systems are in good health and it is operating on its own. Learn more in the NOAA press release.
Booster ignition and liftoff of the United Launch Alliance Atlas V rocket at 5:02 p.m. EST, from Space Launch Complex 41 at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida, carrying NOAA’s GOES-S satellite. The rocket is on its way, carrying NOAA’s second in a series of four next-generation weather satellites. About four minutes into flight, a series of key events occurs in rapid succession: Atlas booster engine cutoff, separation of the booster from the Centaur upper stage, ignition of the Centaur main engine for its first of two burns, then jettison of the payload fairing. Follow the GOES-S Blog for updates.
The United Launch Alliance Atlas V rocket and its GOES-S payload were moved to the launch pad today as preparations continue for Thursday’s launch from Space Launch Complex 41. The Atlas V is in its 541 configuration, which means it has the 5-meter-diameter payload fairing, four solid-fueled boosters and the Centaur upper stage is equipped with a single engine. Liftoff remains on schedule for 5:02 p.m. EST tomorrow. Meteorologists with the U.S. Air Force 45th Space Wing are predicting an 80 percent chance of favorable weather for liftoff of the Atlas V rocket. On launch day, the primary weather concern is cumulus clouds and strengthening ground winds.
NOAA GOES-S will travel to space aboard a ULA Atlas V 541 expendable launch vehicle, or rocket. The “541” refers to the configuration of the rocket: payload fairing, or nose cone, that covers the satellite is approximately 5 meters in diameter; the four solid rocket boosters that generate extra thrust off the launch pad; and a single engine on the Centaur upper stage. Fully fueled, GOES-S’s Atlas V 541 rocket weighs more than 1 million pounds and is approximately 197 feet tall.
GOES-S and its Atlas V rocket will begin its journey to space when the booster engine and solid rocket boosters ignite and the rocket blasts off. Just under 2 minutes after leaving the launch pad, the rocket’s four solid rocket boosters will complete their burns and be jettisoned while the Atlas booster continues to burn. Approximately 90 seconds later, the payload fairing halves separate and fall back, no longer needed after leaving Earth’s atmosphere. About a minute later, the booster engine will shut down, known as booster engine cutoff (BECO), and the booster and Centaur upper stage separate. With the upper stage now flying free, the main engine will start its first burn. This burn will last for nearly eight minutes before the first main engine cutoff (MECO-1).
After a total of three burns of the Centaur upper stage engine, GOES-S will separate from the upper stage and fly alone in space for the first time! This will occur roughly three and a half hours after liftoff. In the days that follow, GOES-S will perform several instrument deployments and a series of maneuvers to bring the satellite into geostationary orbit. This is scheduled to occur 17 days after launch. Once NOAA GOES-S, now GOES-17, is placed in geostationary orbit, it will undergo a period of checkout and validation, moving to the GOES West operational position in late 2018.
In 2018, NOAA launches the GOES-S satellite, which takes its place in orbit as GOES-17. Working together with GOES-16, the two new geostationary weather satellites will provide constant watch over the United States and the Western Hemisphere from the west coast of Africa all the way to New Zealand, helping monitor severe storms, wildfires, and daily weather patterns.
Managers from NASA, NOAA, U.S. Air Force 45th Space Wing and United Launch Alliance gave a unanimous “go” for launch of the GOES-S spacecraft on March 1 at 5:02 p.m. EST on a United Launch Alliance Atlas V rocket. The decision followed the Launch Readiness Review on February 27 at Kennedy Space Center in Florida.
NASA, NOAA and United Launch Alliance controllers and engineers conducted a full Mission Dress Rehearsal on February 23 for the launch of the GOES-S spacecraft. The practice is standard for the launch team as it prepares for a mission. Working from consoles in facilities at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, the teams ran through the same systems and processes they will use for the actual launch, which is set for March 1 at 5:02 p.m. EST.
At the conclusion of the Flight Readiness Review at Kennedy Space Center in Florida on February 23, senior NASA and contractor managers voted to proceed with processing toward the targeted launch of GOES-S on a United Launch Alliance Atlas V rocket at 5:02 p.m. EST on Thursday, March 1. A final “go” decision will be made at the GOES-S Launch Readiness Review on February 27.
Working in concert with the recently launched GOES-16, the two new geostationary weather satellites will provide constant watch over the United States and the Western Hemisphere, helping monitor severe storms, wildfires, and daily weather patterns. GOES-S will provide better data coverage over the northeastern Pacific, where many weather systems that affect the western U.S. originate. Greater coverage means that GOES-S will be in an ideal location to monitor weather hazards unique to the western U.S. These include wildfires, coastal fog, and atmospheric river events, when storms from the Pacific dump heavy rain and snow over the western U.S. Better monitoring of these heavy precipitation events will lead to timelier warnings to the public about hazards such as flooding and mudslides.
On March 1, 2018, NOAA’s newest geostationary satellite will launch into space from Cape Canaveral, Florida. GOES-S (which will become GOES-17 once it reaches its final orbit) will significantly enhance weather forecasting capabilities across the western United States, Alaska, and Hawaii and provide critical data and imagery of the eastern and central Pacific Ocean extending all the way to New Zealand. Here are five reasons why GOES-S will be such a game-changer for weather forecasts from California to Alaska and beyond.
NOAA’s GOES-S is scheduled to launch Thursday, March 1, 2018. The launch, as well as the pre-launch mission and science briefings on February 27, will air live on NASA Television and the agency’s website. At 5:02 p.m. March 1, a two-hour launch window will open, during which GOES-S will launch on a United Launch Alliance Atlas V rocket from Space Launch Complex 41 at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station (CCAFS) in Florida. Launch coverage will begin at 4:30 p.m. Learn more about NASA Television’s coverage of GOES-S launch events.
On February 16, 2018, GOES-S, secured inside its payload fairing, was transported from its processing location at Astrotech Space Operations in Titusville, Florida, to the United Launch Alliance Vertical Integration Facility at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station’s Space Launch Complex 41. There, the satellite was raised into position atop the Atlas V rocket that will send it into orbit on March 1. View more photos of the lift and mate operation.
GOES-S is now encapsulated inside its payload fairing at the Astrotech payload processing facility in Titusville, Florida, near NASA's Kennedy Space Center. The payload fairing protects the spacecraft during the ascent through Earth's atmosphere on its way to orbit. GOES-S will soon be moved to Space Launch Complex 41 at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station for mounting atop the Atlas V rocket that will boost the satellite to orbit.
NOAA satellites helped save the lives of 275 people last year! Although NOAA satellites, like GOES-16, are known for weather forecasting, they also play a vital role in assisting in the rescue of those in distress at sea or on land. NOAA satellites are part of the international Search and Rescue Satellite Aided Tracking System, or COSPAS-SARSAT, which uses a network of U.S. and international spacecraft to detect and locate distress signals quickly from emergency beacons aboard aircraft, boats and from handheld PLBs. Learn more about how NOAA satellites help rescue people in distress.
NOAA is one month from launching GOES-S, its newest geostationary weather satellite that will begin providing faster, more accurate data to track storm systems, lightning, wildfires, dense fog, and other hazards that threaten the western U.S., Hawaii, and Alaska. More detailed observations will improve marine, aviation forecasts, wildfire detection and more. Read the announcement.
The United Launch Alliance Atlas V first stage for GOES-S has been lifted to the vertical position inside the Vertical Integration Facility at Space Launch Complex 41 at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida. The first stage of the rocket holds the fuel and oxygen tanks that feed the engine for ascent and powers the spacecraft into geostationary orbit. The rocket is being prepared to launch the satellite on March 1, 2018. Additional photos of the Atlas V first stage booster lift to vertical on stand.
As NOAA’s next-generation weather satellites continually improve weather forecasts in the United States and beyond, it’s worth remembering how we got to where we are today. Today marks the 60th anniversary of America’s first successful satellite launch, ushering in a new era of space exploration and scientific discovery. Learn more in this feature story.
The Centaur upper stage, part of the United Launch Alliance Atlas V rocket that will help launch GOES-S, is in place for prelaunch processing. The Centaur holds theThe Centaur arrived at the Delta Operations Center at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station on January 24, two days after its delivery by ship to nearby Port Canaveral.
Media accreditation is open for the launch of NOAA’s GOES-S satellite on Thursday, March 1, 2018. GOES-S is scheduled to launch at 5:02 p.m. EST from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station (CCAFS) in Florida. Media prelaunch and launch activities will take place at CCAFS and NASA’s neighboring Kennedy Space Center. International media without U.S. citizenship must apply by 4:30 p.m. Tuesday, Feb. 13, for access to Kennedy media activities only. U.S. media must apply by 4:30 p.m. Monday, Feb. 19. Learn more and apply for GOES-S launch media accreditation.
The propellant, including fuel and oxidizer, that will take GOES-S to orbit is now loaded in the spacecraft. The fuel loading process began on January 24 with a checkout of all the equipment, ensuring no leaks and correct flow rates. The team prepared for the hazardous operations by donning SCAPE suits (Self-Contained Atmospheric Protective Ensemble) that cover their bodies and provide a clean air source, as the fuel and its vapors are toxic. The chemical purity of the hydrazine was first tested for purity then pumped from the storage tank into the spacecraft fuel tank. On January 27, the oxidizer was loaded, following the same process, except that two spacecraft oxidizer tanks were filled. At the end, the spacecraft was weighed and its center of gravity measured.
The United Launch Alliance Atlas V booster and Centaur stage for NOAA’s GOES-S arrived this week at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida. A Mariner transport ship delivered the components to the Army Wharf at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station.The Atlas V booster was moved to the Atlas Spaceflight Operations Center near Space Launch Complex 41; the Centaur was taken to the Delta Operations Center. GOES-S is preparing for a March 1, 2018 launch.
Top officials from NOAA, NASA and the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection will hold a media teleconference on February 1, 2018, to discuss how NOAA’s GOES-S, the second in a series of next-generation geostationary weather satellites, will help provide faster, more accurate data for tracking lightning, storm systems, wildfires, dense fog and other hazards that threaten the western U.S., Hawaii and Alaska. Learn more in this NOAA media advisory.

On January 16, 2017, media outlets got an up-close look at NOAA's GOES-S, the second in a series of highly advanced geostationary weather satellites. Currently, the satellite is inside a secured clean room at Astrotech Space Operations in Titusville, Florida. Media had the opportunity to photograph GOES-S and conduct interviews with National Weather Service, GOES-R Series Program, Lockheed Martin and Harris personnel. GOES-S is scheduled to launch March 1, 2018, from Cape Canaveral, Florida,, and will be known as GOES-17 when it reaches final orbit. After an orbital test phase of its six instruments and their data, GOES-17 will be declared operational as the new GOES-West satellite.
Technicians and engineers are preparing NOAA’s GOES-S satellite for encapsulation in its payload fairing inside a clean room at Astrotech Space Operations in Titusville, Florida. After encapsulation, the satellite will be moved to Space Launch Complex-41 at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station. GOES-S is slated for launch on March 1, 2018, aboard a United Launch Alliance Atlas V rocket.
The GOES-R Series Quarterly Newsletter for the time period October – December 2017 is now available. GOES-16 is now fully operational as NOAA’s GOES-East satellite and forecasters are thrilled. GOES-S was delivered to Kennedy Space Center and is undergoing final preparations for launch on March 1, 2018. We will soon have two game-changing geostationary satellites watching over the Western Hemisphere! View the 4Q 2017 newsletter.
For more than seven years, NOAA’s GOES-13 satellite actively monitored the skies as NOAA’s operational GOES-East satellite, serving as a critical source of information during major weather events, from crippling snowstorms to powerful hurricanes. On January 8, 2018, GOES-13 was turned off, ceding GOES-East observational duties to GOES-16. The satellite will now drift into storage at 60 degrees west longitude, and be available as a backup if needed. As GOES-13 reaches the end of its operational service life, here’s a look back at the satellite’s unique history and its most memorable imagery.
On January 4, 2018, a powerful nor’easter battered coastal areas from Florida to Maine with heavy snow and strong winds. The storm has also been called a ‘bomb cyclone’ because it underwent “bombogenesis” which occurs when a mid-latitude cyclone rapidly intensifies over a short period and see its central pressure drop 24 millibars or more within 24 hours. Storms like this typically bring heavy precipitation, strong winds, and coastal storm surge and are common along the East Coast during the winter months. Learn more about bombogenesis in this NOAA feature and a read a summary of the event including breathtaking GOES-16 imagery in this story from the National Weather Service. | aerospace |

NASA Administrator Jim Bridenstine described the prospect of a helicopter flying the skies of another planet as "thrilling", while Zurbuchen compared the mission to the Wright brothers pioneering flight at Kitty Hawk, North Carolina, in 1903.
Mimi Aung, Mars Helicopter project manager at JPL, says that the altitude record for helicopter flight on Earth is around 40,000 feet. NASA has just announced that another explorer called the Mars Helicopter will be hitching a ride.
Known as the Mars Helicopter, the remote-controlled device weighs less than four pounds (1.8kg) and its blades spin at nearly 3,000rpm, roughly 10 times the rate employed by helicopters on Earth. The helicopters blades will rotate at up to 3,000 revolutions per minute, 10 times the rate of a terrestrial helicopter.
The Mars Helicopter weighs in at almost 4 pounds with a fuselage roughly the size of a softball and blades that spin 10 times the rate of an Earth-bound helicopter.
Nasa is sending a helicopter to search the skies over Mars
NASA plans to send a small, unmanned helicopter to Mars that could boost our understanding of the Red Planet. The Earth is too far away to control the Mars Helicopter remotely. This is meant to demonstrate the viability and usefulness of such aircraft on Mars. It goes on to show some actual flight test footage of how the machine would operate in a Mars-like atmosphere.
On its first flight, the helicopter will make a short vertical climb to 10 feet and hover for about 30 sec.
"We're very excited about this and the potential it has for opening up a whole new paradigm for how to explore Mars", said David Lavery, the program executive for solar system exploration at NASA headquarters. NASA acknowledges the challenge, saying this is a "high-risk, high-reward project". The six-wheeled rover will hunt for signs of habitable environments as well as sites that may have once hosted microbial life, examining the Red Planet with 23 cameras, a microphone and a drill to collect samples.
The Mars Helicopter is considered a high-risk, high-reward project, according to NASA: If the helicopter fails, it won't affect the rest of the Mars 2020 rover's mission, but if it succeeds, the agency will have a powerful new tool to survey the planet and access now unreachable locations. NASA's Launch Services Program, based at the agency's Kennedy Space Center in Florida, is responsible for launch management.More news: The Black Panther Director Is Into the Idea of a Female Spinoff

The future of low-carbon aviation received a big boost on Friday when ZeroAvia completed a 10-minute test flight with hydrogen fuel cells. The 19-seater is the largest aircraft that has flown with hydrogen.
The modified Dornier 228’s propulsion system was actually hybrid, a combination of hydrogen fuel cells and batteries, which powered the plane’s left engine. The right engine used conventional aircraft fuel. The aircraft is part of the company’s HyFlyer II project.
“This is putting us straight on the path to commercial launches,” said Val Miftakhov, ZeroAvia founder and CEO, following the flight’s success. “This first flight shows just how scalable our technology is and highlights the rapid progress of zero-emission propulsion.”
Hydrogen fuel cells could represent a low-carbon-emissions, or even emissions-free, path to sustainable aviation. Both Embraer and Airbus said they will have aircraft fueled by hydrogen in service by 2035.
Miftakhov said ZeroAvia has received more than 1,500 pre-orders for hydrogen fuel-cell systems. The company has flown test flights for several years, with different degrees of success. Last week’s test flight had been delayed from the summer of 2022. In December, the company received permits from the UK’s aviation authorities that green-lighted the aircraft for the test flight. The modified Dornier 228 took off from Cotswold Airport in Gloucestershire, UK. The seats were taken out for the fuel-cell propulsion system and storage tanks.
During the test flight, the batteries supplied about 50 percent of the power to the left engine and the fuel-cell system supplied the other 50 percent.
Miftakhov said the company is on track for the commercial launch of its 600kW powertrain in 2025. He didn’t say what type of aircraft would be used for the first systems, but said it will have 10 to 20 seats, with a range of 300 miles.
Despite its positive traits, hydrogen has limitations for aviation because of the weight of the fuel cells. It will initially be used in smaller aircraft with regional uses. ZeroAvia is also developing a two to five megawatt version of the propulsion system for larger aircraft, capable of carrying 90 passengers, with a range of 700 miles.
Zero Avia has competition in the hydrogen race. US-based Universal Hydrogen is reportedly planning test flights on a 50-seat aircraft for early this year with its hydrogen fuel-cell system.

In a statement Wednesday, Philippine Air Force (PAF) spokesperson Col. Ma. Consuelo Castillo said the bilateral fighter SMEE is part of the Air Force's Mutual Defense Board-Security Engagement Board (MDB-SEB) activities for 2023.
This also includes PAF engagement opportunities with the USAF's Pacific Air Forces (PACAF).
PAF fighter pilots and other personnel from the 5th Fighter Wing, Air Defense Command participated in the bilateral fighter SMEE.
Castillo said bilateral exchanges focused on the capabilities of fighter aircraft operated by the two Air Forces as a prelude to other upcoming engagements to promote air domain awareness, agile combat employment, interoperability and other bilateral air objectives.
"Notably the USAF, PACAF brought in two F-22s and one KC-135 aircraft which were placed on static display for the appreciation of PAF commanders and aircrew," Castillo said.
Observers said this is the first time these high-tech stealth aircraft visited the Philippines.
She added that the PACAF delegates were welcomed by Air Defense Command chief Maj. Gen. Augustine S. Malinit.
On March 14, Castillo said an F-22 and the KC-135 tanker aircraft conducted an air-to-air refueling demonstration before being escorted out of Philippine airspace by three PAF FA-50PH light jet fighters.
The F-22 is a single-seat, twin engine, all weather stealth tactical fighter aircraft. It was designed as an air superiority fighter but also has ground attack, electronic and signal intelligence capabilities. (PNA) | aerospace |

Top Gear's Captain Slow was spotted at Ilfracombe Rugby Club and the seafront filming scenes for his latest BBC series of James May's Toy Stories.
The floppy-haired presenter, who has previously filmed two Toy Stories episodes in North Devon, was also seen on a boat around Ilfracombe Harbour.
He was also spotted driving around the town in a bright yellow Ferrari 458 Italia, estimated to be worth more than £150,000.
Mr May's latest challenge saw him attempt to guide a remote controlled glider, complete with a miniature James May model pilot wearing a flowery shirt, from Ilfracombe to Swansea.
Ilfracombe resident Dave Bocock saw a lot of activity on Brimlands playing field and spoke to one of the programme's producers. He said: "The object of the exercise was to fly a standard remote controlled glider across the Bristol Channel.
"This involved suspending the glider from a specially built cage slung underneath a helicopter and taken to a height of approximately 11,000ft before being released.
"A second helicopter contained a camera crew and the glider operator.
"In the meantime James May and his crew rushed off to the harbour to follow progress in a speedboat and recover the glider if necessary."
Dave added: "James was very busy but I did notice that he always made time for local children turning up for autographs and photos throughout the two days."
Mr May also paid a visit to Ilfracombe lifeboat station where he spoke to RNLI mechanic and deputy coxswain Leigh Hanks. Mr May told the crew they did a wonderful job but said he hoped not to see them again over the next few days.
He said: "I still have some filming at sea to do and I wouldn't want to meet the lifeboat crew professionally."
The programme will be aired some time before Christmas. | aerospace |

The launch was on schedule at the start of a two hour launch window in Kourou, French Guiana, an overseas region in South America.
After 36 minutes of flight, at 5:49am, Vinasat-2 left the Arian 5 launch vehicle and entered the orbit.
The $300 million satellite, constructed by US-based Lockheed Martin, will boost local expertise and further develop Vietnam’s satellite communications technology as well as communication amongst fishermen at sea, weather forecasts and defense security.
The new satellite has a larger capacity, greater weight, greater number of sensor responses, and higher bandwidth capacity. The VINASAT-2 will focus on the Ku-band transponders, which provide radio, television and telephone transmission services for all of Vietnam and other parts of the Southeast Asia region.
This is Vietnam’s second satellite launched.
Below are timelines of critical moments in the command centre
5:06am, the launch system using rocket technology was checked. During the last 7 minutes before the launch, a computer system was automatically run, examining all technological parameters. The weather condition was very favourable.
5:11am, fuel was pumped into the liquid oxygen and liquid nitrogen tank
5:13am, Arian 5 rocket system carrying Vinasat-2 left the launch pad safely
5:14am, two booster rockets operated at 90 percent capacity, burning two tonnes of fuel per second with temperature reaching 3,000 degrees Celsius, achieving a boosting capacity equaling 12 jet planes.
5:15am, after two minutes of flight, two rockets accomplished their mission and detached themselves from the satellite
5:16am, after three minutes of flight, Arian-5 travelled through a 100km atmospheric layer and headed towards target.
5:48am, the outer shell protecting the satellite Vinasat-2 was detached
5:49am, Vinasat-2 left Arian 5 and safely entered orbit
Prime minister Nguyen Tan Dung, deputy prime minister Nguyen Thien Nhan, minister of information and communications Nguyen Bac Son, deputy minister of defense – senior lieutenant general Truong Quang Khanh witnessed the satellite launch from the headquarters of Vietnam Posts and Telecommunications Group (VNPT) via live broadcast from Kouru.
Vietnam’s second satellite
VNPT is Vietnam’s giant state-owned telecommunications company which will manage the Vinasat-2
Previously, the Ariane 5 launch vehicle carried Vinasat-2 of Vietnam and JCSAT-13 of Japan to the launch pad.
The Ariane 5 ECA (Cryogenic Evolution type A) – the most powerful version in the Ariane 5 range – was used for this flight. The Ariane 5 ECA is an improved Ariane 5 Generic launcher, according to nasaspaceflight.com.
Although it has the same general architecture, a number of major changes was made to the basic structure of the Ariane 5 Generic version to increase thrust and enable it to carry heavier payloads into orbit.
This was the second Ariane 5 flight of 2012, with a payload performance of over 8,300 kilogram. – which included a combined mass of more than 7,500 kilogram. for JCSAT-13 and VINASAT-2, along with the launcher’s dual-payload dispenser system and associated integration hardware, nasaspaceflight.com reported.
From an orbital position of 131.8 degrees East, VINASAT-2 – managed by VNPT – will provide fixed satellite service to Vietnam and neighbouring countries.
It features 24 Ku-band channels providing uplink and downlink coverage, and also has a design life of 15 years although it is carrying additional fuel reserves to maximise longevity.
Vietnam had its first communications satellite – Vinasat-1 – launched in April 2008 by an Ariane 5.
Effective use so far
Before having Vinasat-1, Vietnam had to hire 2,024 foreign telecommunication channels at a cost of $10 million per year.
Hence, the fact that Vietnam has its own satellites helps reduce the fees by up to half or one third depending on the frequency band used.
According to VNPT, around 90 percent of Vinasat-1′s capacity has been hired and used, raking in an expected VND250 billion (US$12 million) this year. This does not include VNPT’s use which accounts for nearly 30 percent. | aerospace |

The spacewalk officially began Friday at 7:38 a.m. EDT and lasted for seven hours and 17 minutes, ending at 2:55 p.m. EDT.
The spacewalk went well, according to both astronauts, and they were even able to accomplish some get-ahead tasks on the station.
This was the fourth spacewalk for Koch and the first for Meir. Based on their position on the platform, the astronauts were able to see the Earth pass beneath their feet.
The first woman to conduct a spacewalk was Russian cosmonaut Svetlana Savitskaya in 1984, followed closely by NASA astronaut Kathy Sullivan. Koch and Meir were the 13th and 14th women to conduct a spacewalk.
“It’s really interesting for us,” Meir said. “This is just us doing our job. We’ve been training for six years, so it’s coming up here and doing our job. At the same time, we recognize that it is a historic achievement and we want to give credit to the women who came before us. We have followed in their footsteps to get where are today.”
“I think it’s important because of the historical nature of what we’re doing and that in the past, women haven’t always been at the table,” Koch said at a recent news conference. “It’s wonderful to be contributing to human spaceflight at a time when all contributions are being accepted, when everyone has a role and that can lead, in turn, to an increased chance for success.”
During Friday’s spacewalk, Koch and Meir replaced a faulty battery charge/discharge unit that failed to activate after a spacewalk on Oct. 11.
The space station is powered by solar arrays and four sets of batteries. The unit regulates the charge in the batteries from the solar arrays as the station orbits at night around the Earth.
A Second Attempt at History
Friday marked the second attempt at an all-female spacewalk after the first was scrapped in March.
NASA cited spacesuit availability as the reason for scrapping the walk.
When asked about spacesuit availability this time around, Koch said there are currently two medium spacesuits on board. After the first all-female plan was shifted, Koch configured the second spacesuit herself using what was available on the ISS.
She and Meir have trained in medium-sized suits for the past six years.
Koch arrived at the International Space Station in March. She is set to remain at the ISS until February, which will make her time there the longest single spaceflight by a woman.
Meir arrived at the space station for her first mission at the beginning of October.

Calfior and Douglas W. Miller
GENERAL FLIGHT TECHNIQUES
RULES OF THUMB
The following section consists of some helpful instructional aids, techniques, hints, and rules of thumb which will allow you to accomplish the basic flight maneuvers given throughout your flight scenarios. It will help you acquire a high flight score.
The takeoff can be separated into three segments.
1) The takeoff roll 2) The liftoff 3) The initial climb
a) The takeoff roll is simply an acceleration of the airplane to its rotation speed with full power. It is important to maintain the centerline of the runway. As the speed increases to rotation speed, gradually increase back elevator pressure in order to get the weight of the aircraft off the wheels.
b) The rotation speed for the Cessna 182 RG is 50 knots. The aircraft will then continue to accelerate to 70 knots. It will then lift off the ground since there is now enough air over the wing to generate the necessary lift.
c) In the takeoff roll, winds will not always be right down the runway. These crosswinds can make it slightly more difficult to maintain that runway centerline. Proper procedure calls for full ailerons into the wind at the start of the takeoff roll. As the ground speed accelerates, the ailerons are slowly taken out until at rotation speed, they are centered.
d) Once airborne, you need to maintain a specific climb speed. 80 knots is the climb speed generally utilized in these flight scenarios. Since the airplane wants to accelerate very rapidly, you must set about a 10° nose up attitude on your attitude indicator.
e) With liftoff, the nose wants to rise higher than it needs to. That's why a slight nose down pressure may be necessary in order to stabilize a 10° nose up attitude.
f) Let your nose control the airspeed here, since full power is a constant until 1,000 feet above the ground. If your airspeed is greater than 80 knots, raise the nose to bring the airspeed back to 80. If your airspeed is not yet at 80 knots, lower the nose so that you can reach it.
g) Once airborne with a crosswind being prevalent, a "crab" into the wind will be needed to maintain the runway centerline on climbout. Check behind you to verify that you're aligned with the runway, and then use an offset heading into the wind to keep that track as desired.
h) As a general rule of thumb, when you are 500 feet above the ground, then you may retract your flaps to the full up position. (We are assuming that you have taken off with a 10 degree flap down position). When the flaps come up, there is less drag on the airplane and it wants to accelerate. At the same time, the nose wants to drop, which aggravates the stabilized climb speed you have. Therefore, with flaps coming up, consciously raise your nose attitude a bit to keep a hold of your 80 knot climbout.
i) Another rule of thumb is: once you know that you can no longer land straight ahead on the runway, get your landing gear up. The retraction of the landing gear will affect the drag on your airplane. It will require a slight pitch up to maintain your climb speed.
a) A downwind departure is one where you takeoff and maintain runway heading until 300 feet below traffic pattern altitude. You then fly the rectangular pattern around the field until you arrive at midfield, then exit the area with a 45 degree turn away from the field while continuing the climb.
b) A straight out departure is as it sounds. You simply climb on course, maintaining your alignment with the runway and depart the area.
c) The Tower or Departure Control would communicate to you any other type of departure. Unless otherwise directed, you would fly the runway heading until at least reaching traffic pattern altitude. At which time, you can perform a 90 degree, 45 degree, or a radial intercept departure. This will prevent you from accidentally flying into another airplane which has entered the traffic pattern from below.
Leveling off at an altitude from a climb:
a) If you wait until you're right at the altitude before pushing your nose over, then you will shoot right past it and get yelled at by Professor Calfior! A general rule of thumb is to lead your altitude by 10 percent of your rate of climb. But for simplicity's sake, always start to push your nose over gently at 100 feet prior to your desired cruise or level off altitude.
b) Now there's a trick to this leveling off. You are at climb airspeed, and as you lower your nose to slow down your climb rate, your airspeed will increase. As your airspeed increases, your nose wants to go back up! So while the airspeed is steadily increasing, until it stabilizes, you will need to scoot the nose down a little bit and a little bit and a little bit, in order to hold on to that target altitude. Notice this whenever you level off.
Controlling the Airplane:
When maneuvering the airplane, a recommended control sequence to follow in visual flight is:
a) Visualize the desired new flight path and airspeed.
b) Select the attitude and the power required to achieve the desired performance by moving the controls, and then verifying that the airplane has achieved the estimated attitude.
c) Hold the attitude, allowing the airplane to settle down into its new performance.
d) Make small adjustments to attitude and power until the actual performance equals the desired performance.
e) Trim. Heavy loads can be trimmed off earlier in the sequence to assist in control, if desired. But remember that the function of trim is to relieve control loads on the pilot, and not to change aircraft attitude.
a) One thing you will notice immediately is that whenever you start a turn, the airplane will want to descend. This is because some of the vertical lift is now heading in the horizontal direction, so you need to give the required vertical lift a boost of energy! As you smoothly commence your turn, bring your nose up a thought! (That's how little you'll need at a standard rate turn)
b) Another gee-whiz feature about this simulator is that once you are established in your turn, the airplane has a tendency to want to slip deeper into the turn. So watch for that, because you want your airplane wing, on the turn indicator, to be pegged right on the "L" or "R" indicator. As it tries to deepen further, tap that wing in the opposite direction just a mite! Don't over control the plane in a rock and roll move throughout the turn!
c) When it comes to rolling out of a turn to a predetermined heading, the first few scenarios will help you by telling you what heading to begin your rollout on. On the average, it's anywhere from 7 to 12 degrees short of your heading mark. Later on, it's expected that you will acquire an eye for your roll rate and start the rollout on your own as to arrive right on your desired heading.
d) Now think about Part (a) up above. It's logical that as you start to roll your wings to the level position, all that extra nose up movement you've put in will want to make your airplane climb! So as you start that rollout, smoothly push your nose down a little in order to hold that altitude.
VOR Tracking on a radial:
Now we're getting into the instrument training side of VFR flying.
a) When you have intercepted your desired course, the CDI needle should be centered with either a "TO" or a "FROM" indication. If there were no winds to blow you off course, that needle would stay centered. But that generally does not happen, so something called tracking and bracketing is done.
b) Whenever you notice you're drifting off course, (that is, the CDI needle is moving from its center position), make a 20 degree correction in the direction that the needle is moving. Hold that 20 degree correction until you see that the needle is back to its centered position.
c) Now take 10 degrees out of your heading correction, and watch that needle. If it remains centered, your 10 degree crab angle is the correction you need to hold that desired radial. But if the needle starts moving now in the opposite direction, the 10 degrees is too much of a correction. So turn to the heading which parallels your radial and drift back to a centered needle.
d) When the needle centers, make a 5 degree correction in the original direction and that should keep your needle centered.
e) If the first 20 degrees of heading change does not force your CDI needle to head back towards the center, then put in another 20 degrees in the same direction. You're obviously in a strong crosswind. When the needle finally centers, take out 20 of those degrees and see how your needle reacts.
Reading the VOR CDI:
The VOR OBI has a needle which moves to the left or right of center, depending on whether you are left or right of your intended radial. There are four visible dots to the right and left with a small circle between them. The circle is covering the first dot which would be to the left and right of the center of the circle. Therefore, when the needle, called the CDI, is over the left edge of the circle, it is one dot to the left of center.
When you are flying these scenarios, and a command tells you to turn to a specific heading when your NAV 1 or 2 CDI is two dots RIGHT of center, you must count the circle's edge as dot one.
a) When beginning a descent, you will be reducing the power to a certain predesignated RPM setting. What is important to note is that more than a 1,000 feet per minute rate of descent is considered excessive. As a generalization, 400 to 700 feet per minute is a good average descent rate. The aircraft is well in control, and that is the primary safety consideration. When you start working in instrument meteorological conditions, instrument approaches are always geared to the 400 to 700 feet per minute descent rate. So it's a good habit pattern to build for controllability and safety.
b) If coming in for an approach to your destination, the level off from the descent may be such that you will keep your power setting at its reduced level, to help slow down for traffic pattern operations. If you are still in the en route portion of your flight, it would be wise to lead the level off by 10 to 20 percent of your rate of descent (depending on your descent rate) and to smoothly increase your power back to its cruise setting.
c) Always pay attention to your VSI (Vertical Speed Indicator) while in a descent. This is especially true when in the landing pattern, since a 400 feet per minute descent will quite accurately put you in the most ideal final approach position from the downwind leg. It's easy to lose that VSI from your scan and when you do remember to look, it's at 1500 feet per minute and the runway is looking quite flat up ahead! Make the VSI a constant reference of scan throughout any descent.
Traffic Pattern Entries:
a) The 45 degree entry to a right or left downwind is considered standard.
b) You could be directed to fly overhead the field and descend down into a right or left downwind, depending on your heading.
c) A straight in to a landing is possible where a long extended final approach accommodates the flow of arriving airplanes.
d) It's possible to be vectored to an immediate base leg at an extended distance.
e) Let us repeat once again the importance of realizing that, without any specific instructions from the tower or at an uncontrolled field, the standard traffic pattern is left hand, and a 45 degree entry will be what's expected. Other airplanes that are in the pattern will be expecting arrivals to come in via the 45 degree entry. If you desire to enter differently, make sure that you communicate your position and anticipated approach method, so that others can look for you and exercise collision avoidance procedures by scanning for you where you say you are.
Traffic Pattern Operations:
a) The scenarios in this companion utilize a variety of landing approaches. This was done to provide you with a multitude of landing experiences. But one thing to remember always: if an airport is uncontrolled, the basic landing pattern is left turns and the basic entry is a 45 degree entry. In the diagram which accompanies this section, for another varied view, we have shown you a RIGHT 45 degree entry.
b) To help you be directionally accurate, a right hand pattern is one where your turns are made to the right. Right to base leg - right to final. A left hand pattern is one where your turns are made to the left. Left to base leg - left to final.
c) When arriving via the 45 degree entry, be at your Traffic Pattern Altitude (which is usually 800 to 1000 feet above airport elevation) by at least two miles outside of the field. This is so that you can scan for aircraft that are already in the pattern at your horizon level eye view.
d) When there is a control tower on the field, NEVER go within five statute miles of the field unless you have called the Tower, and let them know you are coming in. That five statute mile radius area is called an Airport Traffic Area (ATA), and you never go in unannounced. By the way, if you are more than 3,000 feet above the airport elevation, then you are not in the Airport Traffic Area, so to fly overhead unannounced is okay!
e) When do you put your gear down? As a standard rule of thumb, your best bet will be whenever you are abeam midfield on your downwind leg. At this point, you should also take some of your power off so that you can slow down to an airspeed (90 knots) which will allow you to bring your flaps down to 10 degrees, or the first notch.
f) You are on the downwind leg when you are flying parallel to the runway you want to land on, about 1 mile wide of it, and 180 degrees in the opposite direction from your intended direction of landing. It's called downwind because it's where the wind is heading DOWN to!
g) When you are opposite your point of intended landing on the downwind, your airspeed should be low enough to permit you to lower your flaps. Take some more power off, and begin a descent at about a 400 feet per minute rate of descent. Stay on your downwind track until the approach end of the runway you want to land on is at your 5 o'clock position (RIGHT DOWNWIND) or 7 o'clock position (LEFT DOWNWIND).
h) When the runway threshold is at those o'clock positions, you should have descended approximately 200 to 300 feet below traffic pattern altitude. Begin your turn to the base leg, which brings you to the centerline of the extended runway, with you being 90 degrees from your final approach course. You will be approximately one mile from the threshold of the runway.
i) At about the 2 o'clock (RIGHT PATTERN) or 10 o'clock (LEFT PATTERN) orientation to the runway threshold, begin your turn to the final approach. At the completion of that turn, you should have descended approximately 400 to 500 feet below traffic pattern altitude.
j) Flaps are extended to the second notch (20 degrees) and third notch (30 degrees) at various points to help you acquire the best all around descent angle to the runway, and to configure the airplane so that the final approach is solidly stabilized.
k) From final inbound to touchdown, each scenario has a wealth of notes to help make the landing a totally inspired success. We do not agree with the saying "A safe landing is one you can walk away from!" | aerospace |

Unlike what they did in the 1960s, NASA is outsourcing some of the engineering and manufacturing work for Project Artimus to manufacturing companies.
NASA plans to send humans to the lunar surface using its own rocket, Space Launch System (SLS), as well as its very own space capsule called Orion. Once in the lunar orbit, Orion will link up with the Lunar Lander, which will transport the astronauts to and from the lunar surface.
The Lunar Lander is the project that NASA is contracting out to SpaceX to develop at a grant of $2.9 Billion.
SpaceX was awarded this exclusively as NASA claims that SpaceX's technology is far superior to that of Blue Origin. It would prove to be significantly cheaper for NASA too, as opposed to contracting the Lunar Module to multiple companies to develop.

The LaCoste & Romberg gravity meter S124b and its associated system environment were installed and tested in conjunction with a strap-down gravity meter system (SAGS) of the Bayerische Akademie der Wissenschaften in Munich on a Cessna Grand Caravan of the DLR in Oberpfaffenhofen. This report describes the design and instrumentation of the aerogravimetry system, it documents the installation on the aircraft and it discusses some of the results of the test flights performed within AGFA (Airborne Gravity Flight Approach). Beyond the documentation of the system this report gives a short introduction to the basics of the instruments including a short theory of their operation and data processing. The intention is to give readers from disciplines other than aero-gravimetry and aero-altimetry a technical insight into how the system works and what it is capable of. This should help the reader to evaluate the systems usefulness in other geo-scientific projects. The experiences from the test flights are briefly summarized and an update of the current status and future plans for the individual instruments is given. The aerogravimetry system consists of two major instrument blocks: the gravimetry sensing system and the positioning system. The gravimetry sensors are the LaCoste & Romberg S124b and the SAGS-2.2 systems. The navigation block holds GPS receivers, an inertial navigation system and a laser altimeter. The aircraft used for the primary tests was a Cessna Grand Caravan of the DLR in Oberpfaffenhofen. It offers superb conditions for scientific installations and is widely used in geophysical exploration all over the world. The test flights were flown from Oberpfaffenhofen airport. One profile covers the Bavarian Alps to map short wavelength, topography induced gravity disturbances, and another flight crosses the Rhine Graben to map long wavelength structures of the deeper crust. The software for data processing for navigation, gravimetry and geoid calculations is briefly summarized. | aerospace |

The always terrific kottke.org has come up with a fitting tribute to the 40th anniversary of the Apollo 11 mission…
Inspired by the ApolloPlus40 Twitter account and We Choose the Moon, both of which are tracking the Apollo 11 mission as it happened 40 years ago, I’ve built a page where you can watch the CBS News coverage of Walter Cronkite reporting on the Moon landing and the first moon walk, 40 years to the second after it originally happened.
Here’s the one-time-only schedule (all times local/CDT)…
- Moon landing broadcast start: 3:10:30 pm on July 20
- Moon landing shown: 3:17:40 pm
- Moon landing broadcast end: 3:20:15 pm
- Moon walk broadcast start: 9:51:27 pm
- First step on Moon: 9:56:15 pm
- Nixon speaks to the Eagle crew: approx 10:51:30 pm
- Moon walk broadcast end: 11:00:30 pm
Of course, a celebration of anything this huge wouldn’t be complete without including the unique perspective of The Onion. (NSFW)

In the case of All Nippon Airways, or ANA, it is what lies outside the enticing aircraft- Pikachu! Catering to the eternal Pikachu craze, ANA has unveiled its latest collaboration with Pokémon and delivered an exciting Boeing 787-9 dubbed the “Pikachu Jet NH.” The plane’s exterior sports several Pokémon characters in addition to Pikachu, such as Charizard, Latios, and Latias. Pikachu draws attention to the side of the engine featuring a big Poké Ball. Its interior will doubtless be a Pikachu haven if they want passengers to be seated inside the airplane and not on it.
“Pokémon Air Adventures” is a collaboration between All Nippon Airways (ANA) and the Pokémon Company to launch its specially painted Pikachu Jet NH. The partnership will include a variety of special products and services, such as original goods and in-flight entertainment,” ANA stated in a statement. The Pikachu Jet NH will seat 246 passengers in a three-clas layout, with 40 in business, 14 in premium economy, and 192 in economy. They will be entertained with Pokémon-related inflight entertainment and exclusive souvenirs. Per Simpleflying, Pikachu Jet NH will carry the livery for five years from June 4th, 2023, operating on domestic and international routes.
ANA has made life easy for fans by releasing a set of routes the Pikachu jet may operate from June 4th until October 28th, 2023. “The “Pokémon Air Adventures” project aims to elevate the excitement of travel with the world of Pokémon by easing travel restrictions.” This new venture demonstrates the company’s unwavering commitment to reintroducing people to the joys of travel and mobility,” the airline concluded. In 2021, Japanese low-cost carrier Skymark Airlines collaborated with Pokémon Air Adventures for a blinding yellow Pikachu-themed jet. The aircraft had it all, from Pokémon-themed crew, seats, and disposables. | aerospace |

It will open opportunities for Indian industries which are working in the space sector to work with the US companies.”
On some unconfirmed reports of July 13 being fixed as the launch date for the Chandrayaan-3 Moon mission, Somanath said, “Currently, the window of opportunity for launch is between July 12 and 19 and we will take the earliest possible date, maybe the 12th, maybe the 13th or maybe the 14th. We will announce the exact date after all the tests are completed.”
On the lunar spacecraft, the Isro chairman said, “Currently the Chandrayaan 3 spacecraft is fully integrated … and we have completed the testing”.
Another Isro official told
that no exact date has been finalised till now for the Chandrayaan-3 launch as “such a crucial mission requires a lot of approvals at various levels and so many checks are also required”. Chandrayaan-3 will be a lander rover-specific mission and the focus of the lunar mission will be to land on the lunar surface, which, if Isro is successful this time, will put India in the club of elite nations that had already landed on Moon.
On the Aditya L1 solar mission, the Isro chairman said, “We are targeting that by August-end, Aditya can go.” The spacecraft will be placed in a halo orbit around the Lagrange point 1 (L1), which is about 1.5 million km from the Earth. A satellite placed in the halo orbit has the major advantage of continuously viewing the Sun without any eclipses. This will provide a greater advantage of observing the solar activities and its effect on space weather in real time. | aerospace |

The funding will be for new and upgraded facilities and maintenance at the two military facilities. Fallon will receive $51.3 million. Nothing was included for the National Guard.
“Nevada’s military installations play a critical role in protecting Nevada and our nation,” said Sen Harry Reid, D-Nev., who released the information.
Both he and Sen. Dean Heller worked together to secure millions of dollars in funding for Naval Air Station Fallon.
“This money will allow Fallon to update its facilities so it has all the resources it needs,” Reid said. “The funding will be used to support F-35 training missions, Tactical Ground Mobility Training and grow Fallon’s Naval Strike and Air Warfare Center. These updates will ensure that installations in Nevada are on the cutting edge of efforts to protect our homeland well into the future.”
According to Heller’s office, the senator recognizes how the “brave men and women in the military” play an important role in protecting our country.
“Having Naval Air Station Fallon receive these resources makes our nation safer and stronger,” Heller spokesman Neal Patel said.
Because these are policy issues, NAS Fallon personnel could not comment on the funding.
Funding For Naval Air Station Fallon includes the following:
$27.7 million for Air Wing Facility
This facility will support the increased capabilities provided by the F-35 aircraft. Adequate applied instruction space is required to support current growth at the Naval Strike and Air Warfare Center and enable the mission to provide graduate level training to Naval Aviators and conduct integrated Carrier Air Wing training.
The applied instruction building will include Secure Compartmented Information Facility, Secret Internet Protocol Router Network, Unclassified but sensitive Internet Protocol Router Network, Automated Logistics Information System, and Simultaneous Mission Playback capabilities. The applied instruction building will also include classrooms, administrative, storage, technical training, and support areas.
$3.4 million for Facility Alteration for F-35 Training Mission
The F-35 will arrive at NAS Fallon in 2017. As the next generation strike-fighter for the Navy, a training facility is required to support the West Coast Fleet Readiness Squadron. Unique technology and infrastructure requirements for the new platform require new construction.
This project alters an existing hangar, Building 300, to support the F-35 training mission. Alterations include the renovation of existing hangar bay, maintenance shop, and administrative areas. Building renovation design will include Autonomic Logistics Information System network and connections, Special Access Program Facility, Transient Electromagnetic Pulse Surveillance Technology protection, Closed Circuit Television system and Intrusion Detection System.
The project also constructs a Pre-Engineered Building for a gun maintenance shop.
$20.2 million for SOF Tactical Ground Mobility Vehicle Maintenance Facility
This facility supports Tactical Ground Mobility vehicle maintenance and training for Naval Special Warfare Group Two. Functional spaces will include vehicle staging and maintenance, administrative, operational gear storage and applied instruction.
Naval Special Warfare Group Two has a requirement to conduct Tactical Ground Mobility Unit Level Training, a 19-day course that is conducted 12 times annually and requires space for up to 160 personnel.
Students train in the classroom and “hands on” vehicle maintenance facility prior to training on the range. Students are taught battle damage repair, basic driving skills, static shooting, figure-eight shooting tactics, blank fire and maneuver against opposing forces non-standard vehicle driving tactics and urban are live-fire training.
Funding for Nellis AFB:
$14 million for F-22 Flight Simulator Facility
$31 million for F-35 Aircraft Maintenance Unit
$8.9 million for F-35 Weapons School Facility | aerospace |

A number of these traveling by national airlines along with some traveling by airlines. In any circumstance, the peculiar characteristic of aviation is the last-minute hurry to reserve a ticket for aviation. Sometimes this last rush is inevitable though because of a company or private tragedy coming up. Nevertheless, the strange part is that when the air trip is a preplanned one, air fares are not hunted either at appropriate time or for cheapest priced flights. Vast majority of people even don’t have any clue about flight deals or flight tracker.
There are two major Variables for this specific scenario. To begin with, folks do always require cheap flights to get their aviation but often get trapped at a time jump air flights to pick from. Making them hard to acquire the cheapest flights make it a flight to anywhere they have to go. And even if a person has a considerable time to plan air travel, they might not get the cheap flight prices simply due to a lack of sufficient comprehension of getting those cheap deals. It takes some insider secrets to understand for the objective.
Well, knowing how airline pricing works, the suitable analysis string of air fares, understanding special plans and programs out of airliners, a couple of purchasing techniques like joint purchasing, extensive investigation of the manner that flight tracker works and a few insider information from the industry itself. Whoever journeys by air even sometimes must have a good Comprehension of all of these facets to get best flight prices no matter even if it’s a international cheap flights. In reality each individual ought to be well versed with this type of knowledge. World has came nearer and you can’t when you need to fly could be again together with all the last-minute flight. | aerospace |

It weighs 905 pounds, and the total system weighs 994 pounds. The RMS has six joints that correspond roughly to the joints of the human arm, with shoulder yaw and pitch joints; an elbow pitch joint; and wrist pitch, yaw and roll joints. The end effector is the unit at the end of the wrist that actually grabs, or grapples, the payload. The two lightweight boom segments are called the upper and lower arms. The upper boom connects the shoulder and elbow joints, and the lower boom connects the elbow and wrist joints. The RMS arm attaches to the orbiter payload bay longeron at the shoulder manipulator positioning mechanism. Power and data connections are located at the shoulder MPM.
The RMS is capable of deploying or retrieving payloads weighing up to 65,000 pounds. The RMS can also retrieve, repair and deploy satellites; provide a mobile extension ladder for extravehicular activity crew members for work stations or foot restraints; and be used as an inspection aid to allow the flight crew members to view the orbiter's or payload's surfaces through a television camera on the RMS.
The basic RMS configuration consists of a manipulator arm; an RMS display and control panel, including rotational and translational hand controllers at the orbiter aft flight deck flight crew station; and a manipulator controller interface unit that interfaces with the orbiter computer.
One flight crew member operates the RMS from the aft flight deck control station, and a second flight crew member usually assists with television camera operations. This allows the RMS operator to view RMS operations through the aft flight deck payload and overhead windows and through the closed-circuit television monitors at the aft flight deck station.
Spar Aerospace Ltd., a Canadian company, designed, developed, tested and built the RMS. CAE Electronics Ltd. in Montreal provides electronic interfaces, servoamplifiers and power conditioners. Dilworth, Secord, Meagher and Assoc. Ltd. in Toronto is responsible for the RMS end effector. Rockwell International's Space Transportation Systems Division designed, developed, tested and built the systems used to attach the RMS to the payload bay of the orbiter.
STS82-E-5652 Astronaut Gregory J. Harbaugh (solid stripe on EMU) uses remote manipulator system (RMS) as a cherry-picker device to service HST. In cooperation with astronaut Joseph R. Tanner, nearby, the mission specialist was in the process of replacing the HST's Magnetic Sensing System (MSS) protective caps with new, permanent covers. | aerospace |

Air travel is one of them.
During the late 20th century, it was possible to fly between London Heathrow and New York’s JFK airports in under three hours on a passenger aircraft. However, since the departure of the famous Concorde fleet in 2003, the trip now takes twice as long.
Virgin Galactic is the latest company to float a return to supersonic flight by revealing a Mach 3 jet that’ll far eclipse the top 1,350mph speeds achieved by the Mach 2 Concorde fleet.
Mach 3 is three times the speed of sound, meaning the Virgin Galactic jet would have a theoretical speed of at least 2,302 miles per hour. The design, unveiled today reveals a jet that would have capacity for up to 19 people travelling at above 60,000 feet. Naturally, it’ll be for the high-end, super rich business travellers should it ever come to fruition.

Virgin has signed a ‘memorandum of understanding’ with UK auto giant Rolls-Royce in order to “collaborate in designing and developing engine propulsion technology for high speed commercial aircraft.”
Rolls-Royce, of course, built the engines for the original Concorde, which is the only supersonic commercial jet ever enter into service. Today’s news comes following the completion of a Mission Concept Review in the United States and sees Virgin promise a “new frontier in high speed travel.”
Of course, one of the main barriers to supersonic commercial flight returning to the skies is the sustainability. Concorde was famously inefficient. Virgin says its plane would seek to lead the way in developing state of the art aviation fuel.
“We are excited to partner with Virgin Galactic and TSC to explore the future of sustainable high speed flight,” said Rolls-Royce North America Chairman & CEO Tom Bell. “Rolls-Royce brings a unique history in high speed propulsion, going back to the Concorde, and offers world-class technical capabilities to develop and field the advanced propulsion systems needed to power commercially available high-Mach travel.” | aerospace |

Artemis 1 is officially called ‘Exploration Mission 1’ and is the first serious mission that will enable humans to explore Mars and Moon.
The mission, is scheduled for 2020. This mission will be unmanned. It will lay the foundation for exploration of human deep space, and demonstrate the commitment and ability of mankind to extend human existence on the moon. The two dummies will be used to measure the amount of radiation that astronauts can absorb when they reach the moon in 2024.the first dummy, which is named Zohar, will wear a radiation-resistant vest called StemRad.And the second dummy, named Helga, will be without protection. both the dummies will be equipped with sensors to measure radiation-a problem. The scientists are trying to solve this problem for a long time. This problem can cause health problems and even death.
Thomas Berger, of the German Aerospace Center (DLR), said at the International Astronautical Congress that they are happy to be to perform the StemRad mission. The main researchers of the virtual experiment will fly Artemis 1, officially called Matroska AstroRad Radiation Experiment (MARE). to shield radiation particles, the vest uses polyethylene blocks, which are the same materials used in the sleeping area of the International Space Station. There is currently another radiation vest on the International Space Station for woman, which is named as the AstroRad radiation shield. It is said that this vest can protect important tissues of the human body, especially stem cells, and solar radiation in deep space or on Mars may destroy these stem cells. It consists of layers that look like contour maps and will be tailored for each astronaut. Non-metallic protective material will be placed on each shield to cover each astronaut’s organ. Mr. StemRad also said that this mission will enable humans to make deep space explorations, he further added that this mission will determine the ability of mankind to extend human existence on mars. | aerospace |

Often dubbed as the iPhone of drones, DJI drone models are one of the most popular drones on the market today due to their high-end features, design, and functionality. To keep its reputation going, DJI continues to release new models quite often by improving the already great highlighted features. Today, we are going to take a look at the DJ Phantom 4 Pro drone model.
DJI Phantom 4 Pro Features and Specifications
As an enhanced version of the previous model the original Phantom 4, the DJI Phantom 4 Pro has a number of big improvements. DJI has taken many of the design attributes, electronic components, and features from the original DJI Phantom 4 and put it into the DJI Phantom 4 Pro. In addition, they have also upgraded certain features and added some new features.
The most obvious new feature in the DJI Phantom 4 Pro is the new 5-direction obstacle avoidance system. Previously, the DJI Phantom 4 can only detect obstacles from the forward direction. This new version DJI Phantom 4 Pro has different sensors on its front back, left, right, and bottom. They are always scanning the drone’s surrounding and to assist to it to avoid obstacles and things like trees, buildings, and other thing that it might encounter during its flight.
Another huge improvement from the DJI Phantom 4 is the DJI Phantom 4 Pro’s camera. It uses a new hardware with 1-inch image sensor, which is four times of the size that was previously used in the original Phantom 4. This camera can shoot 4K resolution videos at up to 60 frames per second and can take images of up to 20 megapixels. Furthermore, DJI has added in the aperture control and a mechanical shutter to quality and stable pictures. Overall, the DJI Phantom 4 Pro’s new camera is better, bigger, and more customizable.
For an extra USD 300, you can also get the Phantom 4 Pro Plus controller with a built-in touchscreen display. So, you do not have to connect your smartphone to the controller using a cable and you do not have to worry about smartphone’s battery life. You can also avoid from getting interrupted with incoming calls and messages.
DJI Phantom 4 Pro Build Quality and Design
With a design that is nearly identical to the original DJI Phantom 4, DJI Phantom 4 Pro has the same hull shape except for the small differences where DJI places the new sensors. As a result, it is as strong and sturdy as the previous model. DJI has done an impressive job of being able to equip this new DJI Phantom 4 Pro with new features and yet maintaining the same shape.
However, the DJI Phantom 4 Pro is not as portable as the DJI Mavic Pro if you are looking for a portable solution. Unlike DJI Mavic Pro, you cannot fold the arms of the DJI Phantom 4 Pro and you cannot take off the landing gear because DJI did not design the DJI Phantom 4 Pro with a portability in mind although it is still small enough for you to put inside your backpack if it is necessary.
Battery Life and Recharge Time
Under optimal conditions, DJI claims that the DJI Phantom 4 Pro can last on the air for at least up to 30 minutes but this is based on optimal and ideal conditions. Unfortunately, the real world conditions are not always ideal or optimal.
Based on some of the tests by other reviewers, they claimed that their DJI Phantom 4 Pro lasted for around 28 minutes and 8 seconds on air before the battery life becomes critically low on optimal conditions. Hence, this is not very far off from the time claimed by DJI.
Under more demanding conditions, the DJI Phantom 4 Pro still averaged around 26 minutes and 50 seconds of flight time. Although you cannot expect to get the full 30 minutes on the air, the drone’s endurance is excellent and it is one of the best that these reviewers have seen.
For the battery recharge times, it will take around 1 hour and 30 minutes to get the battery up to 100% from a nearly empty battery of 10 percent remaining. In most cases, you will get your drone down before it reaches critically low battery levels so a routine recharge should only take around 15 minutes or less. This is a remarkable feat by DJI because other drones such as the Yuneec Typhoon H requires more than 2 hours to charge up its battery.
Similar to the DJI Phantom 4, the DJI Phantom 4 Pro offers almost the same flight specifications in terms of agility and speed. Fortunately, this is not a disappointment because DJI Phantom 4, its previous model, is still considered as one of the most nimble quadcopters available on the market.
In terms of speed, both the DJI Phantom 4 and the Pro version can reach up to 45 miles per hour or 72 kilometres per hour. You can also reach higher speeds provided if there is a good tailwind behind you. While it may not be the fastest drone available on the market as there are some models that can go up to 55 or even 60 miles per hour, the DJI Phantom 4 Pro’s speed is sufficient for most of the users.
The key different here is the DJI Phantom 4 Pro can fly up to 31 miles per hour with full multi-directional obstacle avoidance unlike its predecessor, the DJI Phantom 4. This is important because it is during these high speeds that you need obstacle avoidance the most. Therefore, the DJI Phantom 4 Pro can fly at decent speeds while dodging and weaving through obstacles on its own with minimal controls.
DJI Phantom 4 Pro Automony
In addition to bringing the standard autonomous flight modes from the original DJI Phantom 4, DJI also uses some of DJI Mavic Pro’s features and added a few new extra features.
The original DJI Phantom allows you to set the drone to orbit a point in space by using the Point of Interest Mode, to repeat the same flights along a pre-set path by using the Waypoints, to follow your movements by using the Follow Me mode, and to adjust how it responds to your joystick control by using the Course Lock and Home Lock. These features are also added to the DJI Phantom 4 Pro along with a couple of new features such as Terrain Follow, Tripod Mode, and a new range of Active Track abilities.
DJI Phantom 4 Pro Range
The range of the DJI Phantom 4 Pro is also significantly better than the original DJI Phantom 4. Similar to the DJI Mavic Pro, DJI equips the DJI Phantom 4 Pro with the new OcuSync video transmission technology and this stretches the maximum range of the drone and provides a live high definition video feed from the camera from a distance of up to 4.3 miles away. Nevertheless, this range is also possible under the most optimal conditions.
DJI Phantom 4 Pro Camera
If there is any reason for you to buy the DJI Phantom 4 Pro, it is the camera. DJI has put some serious effort into improving the DJI Phantom 4 Pro’s camera image capture system. As a result, DJI Phantom 4 Pro still has one of the best cameras equipped on a quadcopter. | aerospace |

In 2022 there were a record-number of 180 successful rocket launches to orbit. SpaceX contributed the greatest number (61) of these launches, averaging one Falcon rocket into orbit every six days (Witze, 2023). In this new age of a privatised space-race, serious concerns for the environmental impacts of an intensive launch schedule must be addressed.
Project Theia’s payload concept centred around an environmental mission to examine the effects of launch sites on the local atmosphere. By understanding the effects of launch sites on the local environment, cautionary procedures and techniques can be formulised and implemented to promote a sustainable and lucrative space industry.
To execute this mission, a syringe was designed to actuate at flight apogee (highest altitude) within a height window of 350-393m to collect a 15ml sample of air. A similar sample was also collected at ground level.
These air samples were analysed using GC-IRMS equipment in collaboration with the Atmospheric Chemistry Department. Greenhouse gas tests were conducted for 𝑁𝑂2and 𝑆𝐹6 (results from report shown below).
Overall, Project Theia has been successful in achieving its mission statement. The rocket was successful in collecting samples of air at the required apogee, and the gaschromatography analysis was able to be measure 𝑆𝐹6 and 𝑁20. The flight sequence was mostly successful, aside from the separation of the nosecone and, later, the electronics day. Unfortunately, due to the microSD damage, it is difficult to ascertain any evaluations of the flight path.
We are a team of 11 undergraduate engineering students from mechanical, electrical, and aerospace courses. As a group of first and second years, we found this project incredibly fascinating and a great learning experience! | aerospace |

According to the European Space Agency (ESA), all of the Soyuz stages performed perfectly, and the Fregat-MT upper stage released the Galileo satellites into their target orbit at 23 222 km altitude, 3 hours and 49 minutes after liftoff.
“This launch represents a lot for Europe: We have placed in orbit the first two satellites of Galileo, a system that will position our continent as a world-class player in the strategic domain of satellite navigation, a domain with huge economic perspectives,” said Jean-Jacques Dordain, director general of ESA. “This launch consolidates Europe's pivotal role in space cooperation at the global level.”
The launch and early orbit phase (LEOP), which is being overseen by a joint ESA and CNES French space agency team in Toulouse, France, is expected to end Nov. 2. Routine operation of the satellites will then be handed over to SpaceOpal, a joint company of the DLR German Aerospace Center and Italy's Telespazio, to undergo 90 days of testing before being commissioned for the In-Orbit Validation (IOV) phase, in which the Galileo system’s space, ground and user segments will be extensively tested. The next two Galileo satellites, completing the IOV quartet, are scheduled for launch in summer 2012.
Dru A. Smith, PhD, chief geodesist for NOAA’s National Geodetic Survey (NGS), said the agency is already anticipating related changes in the GNSS as noted in its 10-year plan. The plan states, in part, “Three GNSS-related issues must be addressed for the CORS network to remain a viable tool for accurate positioning in the NSRS [National Spatial Reference System]. First, the changing world of GNSS must be accounted for. That is, as new signals and constellations become available, NGS must assure that new and replaced CORS hardware accounts for these changes. (Aside from foundation CORS, equipment at existing CORS will not be required to be upgraded until a component fails, at which time the replaced component will need to align with NGS policy on CORS and GNSS). Second, NGS must provide users with software that will use any and all GNSS signals. That is, OPUS-GNSS must allow for every possible scenario from single frequency, pseudo-range GPS positioning with one second of data to triple constellation, multiple-frequency, 24-hour carrier-phase surveys with multiple antennas in an array, and everything in between. Third, orbit determination software used at NGS must encompass all GNSS changes, for complete support to be possible.”
Ten-year milestones set by the NGS with a completion goal of 2018 include NGS providing 1-centimeter orbits for GPS, GLONASS and Galileo, and 1-centimeter access to geodetic latitude, longitude and height to all GNSS (generic) users, without regard to constellation, with less than four hours of data anywhere in the United States or its territories.
Joseph V.R. Paiva, PhD, PS, PE, a geomatics consultant and POB contributing editor, said that surveyors won’t immediately reap benefits from the Galileo satellites. “There is some risk that information from the data collected once [the satellites] go online may cause delay in all future launches,” he said. “Considering how fast satellite receivers become old technology, there is no particular reason to hurry out and buy receivers which include Galileo capability.” Still, he noted that the launch indicates the first sign of considerable progress towards potential use of the Galileo system, perhaps by 2013 or 2014.
David Doyle, chief geodetic surveyor for NOAA’s NGS, agreed that there is reason to be optimistic. “It should mark the beginning of what we all hope will be significant improvements in global positioning, timing and navigation,” he said. “It will still be some time until there are a sufficient number of satellites in the Galileo constellation to practically contribute to day-to-day surveying and mapping activities, but it is a very good beginning.”

Space research makes intense demands, but opens ways to new physics impossible on Earth. Launched in 2004, the NASA/Stanford Gravity Probe B experiment displays both, along with the fascinating intersection of physics and engineering in a real-life flight mission.
According to Einstein, a gyroscope in 640 km polar orbit is subject to two non-Newtonian precessions, a 6.6 arc-s/yr geodetic effect in the plane of the orbit and a 0.039 arc-s/yr frame-dragging effect due to the Earth’s rotation. Gravity Probe B measured both. To determine these tiny effects required a gyroscope 107 times better than the best inertial navigation gyroscopes and a reference telescope 103 times better than any prior star tracker. The unique combination of cryogenics and space technologies which made this experiment possible will be described, including three on-orbit surprises and the detective story through which they were understood and overcome.
The flight experience and lessons learned on Gravity Probe B will inform the development of several important future fundamental physics missions.
Francis Everitt obtained his PhD from Imperial College, London in paleomagnetism with proof that Britain in Carboniferous times was 10° south of the equator. Two years at the University of Pennsylvania then led to the discovery of 3rd sound in superfluid helium. At Stanford since October 1962, he has been engaged in space research, in particular the NASA Gravity Probe B and STEP missions. In 2005, he was awarded the NASA Distinguished Public Service Medal. His deep interest in the history of 19th and 20th century physics was recognized in the award of a Guggenheim Fellowship. He has written a biography of James Clerk Maxwell and most recently an article “Kelvin, Maxwell, Einstein, and the Ether: Who was Right about What?” | aerospace |

Post #1 of 10
Introducing Wingsuit Studio, a revolutionary -- see, I do nothing but revolutionary stuff -- wingsuit flight analysis and modeling program.
Wingsuit Studio is expandable with custom "modules" designed to do specific task. They are based on Wingsuit Studio's framework which is centered around numerical Wingsuit Equations solver, Flight Library which allows you manage pilots, flight modes, and mountains, and Unit Library that handles unit conversions. The software development kit will be coming in the near future allowing programmers write their own modules.
Currently, 3 modules are included with the installation:
Shows derivation of Wingsuit Equations and solves them numerically.
Wingsuit Equations are differential equations of motion governing wingsuit flight dynamics in two dimensions. Simple and beautiful, they allow for high precision simulation of wingsuit flight by knowing sustained velocity alone.
This module shows the derivation of Wingsuit Equations and explores various aspects of wingsuit flight: trajectory, velocity, acceleration, glide ratio, and other properties of the flight.
To solve WSE numerically, the 4th-order Runge-Kutta method with integration step of 0.1s is used. Solving WSE is handled by Wingsuit.Equations.dll .NET class library which you can freely use for your own Wingsuit Studio modules and other projects.
Calculates average L/D from BASE jump distance, height and time using Wingsuit Equations.
L/D Calculator is the most consistent and accurate way of estimating your L/D from a BASE jump. To use it, you need to measure distance, height, and time by using GPS or by wearing a video camera and passing close to a topographic feature which you can measure on topo maps. Note that the flight must be straight, no turns.
L/D Calculator samples various flight modes (flight mode is a combination of horizontal and vertical sustained speeds) and solves Wingsuit Equations for the duration of your flight (in assumption of constant flight mode) until it finds a mode that results in the closest match with the actual distance and altitude used on your jump.
L/D Calculator first uses "Hill Climbing" method of finding the solution, with a random seed between 0 and 150mph or 250km/h on the velocity grid. The step is gradually reduced until an accurate enough solution is found. This is a fast method, but sometimes it fails to find the best fit. If this happens, brutal force method is used which samples every node on the velocity grid and gradually reduces the step until satisfactory match is found.
Note that L/D Calculator normalizes sustained speeds to sea level and standard temperature.
Exit altitude and exit temperature have virtually no effect on the calculated L/D, but they do affect sustained speed. If your launch is very strong, estimate your launch speed and use it in calculation, as it affects calculated L/D.
The old technique of estimating L/D by subtracting some altitude used to start to fly from the available altitude and dividing the distance by this altitude gives inconsistent results, as the higher or the lower the mountain, the lower or the higher the contribution from the 'starting to fly' portion of the flight would be.
Using L/D Calculator for flights of various degree of performance and in different wingsuits allows you to build polar curves (collections of flight modes) which can be used in other modules.

Helps you choose optimal flight mode for flying the World BASE Race (Romsdalen, Norway) in shortest time possible.
While there is no substitute for experience to win the World BASE Race in Romsdalen, Norway, the different modes of flying are too many to explore in limited time, and this is where World BASE Race module comes to help.
This is a tool that helps you answer questions like these:
- Do I need the highest L/D suit to win? - Is it better to do a steep dive to get more speed, or to start flying as soon as possible? - Is large, floaty suit or small, speedy suit better for the purpose? - Will losing or gaining weight (or using extra weights) help me shorten the time? - Do I stand any chance in a fast tracking suit?
The module uses Wingsuit Equations to simulate flights of two pilots based on their flight modes.
If this module does help you win the World BASE Race, send me a case of your favorite beer! ;-)
Also, Wingsuit Studio includes several sample pilots. Pilot is a collection of flight modes, and flight mode is a combination of sustained horizontal and vertical speeds normalized to sea level and normal temperature that characterizes wingsuit flight dynamics for specific pilot in specific suit at certain body position and angle of attack. These sample pilots will get you started, and you create your own pilots based on GPS data of your flights. Pilot files can easily be exchanged between users and imported into the Studio.
Wingsuit Studio (Windows only) can be downloaded here:
I haven't tried your software, but I've followed the links you posted to wingsuit equations.
The drag and lift coefficients (Cd and Cl) can indeed be treated as constant at a specific angle of attack, but this isn't a very useful property, since (as you noted) during a wingsuit flight, the AoA changes. You then use L/D vs. pitch tables to account for this effect.
There is a much better way to do this. Split the drag into induced drag and parasitic drag. Induced drag (D_i) is defined as that produced as a direct result of generating lift. It can be accurately modelled as:
D_i = L^2/(c_i*rho*V^2)
where L is lift, rho is air density, V is the speed of the wingsuit, and c_i is a constant (independent of AoA!)
Parasitic drag (D_p) can be defined as all the drag that is independent of lift (and also of AoA!)
D_p = c_p*rho*V^2
Again, c_p is a constant, independent of AoA.
If we let V_s be the sink speed (the component of the velocity pointing downward), then using Newton's equations, one can show that:
where g is acceleration due to gravity, and m is the mass of the wingsuit flyer. You can of course solve for V_s, but the equation is easier to verify in the form provided.
If you have V_s and V data from a GPS, then you can estimate c_i and c_p. You can then study all sorts of interesting properties of wingsuit flight without ever having to calculate the AoA! It would also be straightforward to modify the equation to model the non-equilibrium subterminal flight. Again, this could be done without worrying about AoA.
And if you really are interested in the AoA, you can work it out by using the fact that lift is a linear function of AoA (up to the stall point, of course).
Splitting the drag into two (or more) parts is more useful for aviators (i.e. powered, mostly sustained, flight) rather than gliders. It's like slicing the cake into several parts: you can call them different names, but together they're still the same cake.
If you read the "Derivation" tab in Wingsuit Equations module, you will see that the whole "pure fucking magic" is to abstract away from AoA and describe the dynamics of flight in terms of measurable quantities, such as sustained horizontal and vertical speeds. Modeling with variable flight modes is also possible (although not yet implemented in WSS). For example, to clear the ledge, you may start with the mode that pulls you away from the wall quickly, and that is the mode with rather poor L/D (about 1.0-1.5 - about 45 degree headdown pitch right after exit), and then kick in the max L/D mode. This can be modeled using WSE easily.
Wingsuit Studio has been updated with the new version of World BASE Race module.
The new version includes Optimizer which automatically finds the fastest flying mode for given L/D.
If you have already played with WBR module, you may have been wondering, "Well, what would be the fastest flying mode out there? what wingsuit, what kind of performance would result in absolutely fastest time?" Optimizer uses brutal force approach and tries all possible modes to find the best.
It turns out, the higher L/D, the better the time. So to be realistic, Optimizer uses L/D you set as a maximum L/D that it will not exceed while searching for faster finish times.
For given L/D, there exists an optimal flight mode (i.e. combination of sustained horizontal Vxs and vertical Vys speeds) that results in fastest time possible while satisfying the constraints (terrain + minimum pull altitude).
Here are the results (with minimum pull altitude of 300ft (~90m) and zero launch speed):
- tracking suits are out: no competition to wingsuits, several seconds behind
- WBR *is* mostly a L/D competition. Awesome! Anti-Marl'09, anti-mattress, anti-trackingderby all the way... as it should be to begin with. Schweet L/D, baby! A good test for different makes of wingsuits (besides, of course, being a test for different pilots). Wingsuit manufacturers, here's a good show to shine on!
- shortest finish times demand very fast (yet high L/D) flight modes. Heavier pilots with high wingloading (while maintaining L/D in 2.5-3.0 range) will have advantage over the light pilots.
- strong launch always helps (assuming pilot is capable of doing it without compromising efficient flying and safety). 5mph (~2m/s) launch speed results in about 0.3s shorter time.
- the fastest flight mode is that just skims the terrain about half-way to the finish line and just clears the minimum pull altitude. Note that this means "naturally" high L/D mode, not just diving down with average L/D intentionally and skimming the terrain and pulling low. Again, heavy jumpers with efficient L/D will have advantage, as after natural curve pullout they will be lower - but faster - than lighter jumpers.
- the spread between L/D of 2.5 and 3.0 is quite small, less than a second. Therefore, not only excellent flying skills, but ability to do a strong launch precisely at the starting gun matters a lot. Pilots with running/ski/swimming competition experience will have advantage over good pilots who never jumped by starting gun.
- moving WBR to a bigger mountain where the spread between the best pilots will be less "electronic" would be a better test of pilot's skills and wingsuit rating.
The flight modes calculated by Optimizer are at sea level, standard temperature (15 C). Use Flight Mode Converter from Tools menu to convert it to a different altitude. Typically, at 6000ft speeds are about 10-12% higher.

Example of using L/D Calculator and Wingsuit Equations modules
[In reply to]
Here's an example of using L/D Calculator:
Mt.Brento, pulling over the windsock by the bar (distance = 5300ft) at 550ft (altitude used = 3300ft) in 40s. Jumper: me in Phantom-1 and Razor with Trango 285, exit weight 250lbs, 6'1" tall.
Result: L/D = 2.27, Vxs = 98.8mph, Vys = 43.5mph (sustained speeds at sea level; at 6000ft, that is equivalent to approx. 109/48).
From jumps with less aerodynamic rigs, I found my L/D in Phantom to be about 2.1. A 10% improvement comes mostly from Razor/Trango.
If the sustained speeds are prorated proportionally to the square root of wingloading for a jumper with exit weight 180lbs (of same height), or Vxs = 83.8mph, Vys = 36.9mph (same L/D = 2.27), the opening altitude would be about 800ft and flight would be 45s long. (found by plugging the numbers into Wingsuit Equations module)
A flyer at L/D = 2.9, Vxs = 87mph, Vys = 30mph would end up pulling at 1300ft.

Grand Junction isn’t exactly a Navy town, but it may seem that way this weekend when Grand Valley residents get to see something that doesn’t often come to town: The U.S. Navy’s Flight Demonstration Team, the Blue Angels.
That crack aeronautical squadron will be in Mesa County for the 2019 Grand Junction Airshow.
The last time the Blue Angels were in town was back in 2012. Its Air Force counterpart, the Thunderbirds, have been here more often, most recently in 2015 and 2017.
The Blue Angels, based at Naval Air Station Pensacola in the Florida Panhandle and the older of the two, formed in 1946 to help increase the public’s awareness of naval aviation and boost Navy morale, not to mention help with recruitment. The Thunderbirds, which was formed in 1953, is based at Nellis Air Force Base near Las Vegas.
While the Blue Angles have gone through numerous aircraft, planes flown now are the F/A 18 Hornet C and D models, which are upgrades to the Hornets the team flew for more than 20 years. The Navy is transitioning the newer Super Hornets into its combat forces.
Like the Thunderbirds, the Blue Angels have eight main pilots who perform aeronautical maneuvers, from traditional diamond formation rolls to spectacular fleur-de-lis (you’ll know it when you see it).
The Blue Angels aren’t the only military-based team to perform at this year’s air show. The Golden Knights will also highlight the event.
No, that’s not the Vegas hockey team of NHL fame, but the U.S. Army’s Parachute Team. Along with the Blue Angels and the Thunderbirds, the Golden Knights are one of three official Defense Department aerial demonstration teams.
Though lesser known, they are no less exciting to watch. The demonstration team, made up of 25 enlisted personnel, perform high in the sky without the aid of an aircraft, at least after jumping out of one.
The team, which was formed in 1959, performs colorful skydiving routines and parachute close encounters.
Other aerial acts include the Rower Airshows, the Vampire Airshow, the Power Addiction Airshow and the mini-jet airshow. Additionally, spectators can experience what it’s like to fly through the Dash Aerosports, which uses a 360-degree camera seen through virtual reality goggles. Other on-the-ground events include historic aircraft and exotic cars.
Sponsored by West Star Aviation, the airshow dates to barnstorming days of 1912, when the first flight took place at what was then Mesa County Fairgrounds when it was located at what is now Lincoln Park. | aerospace |

TRANSORBITAL ANNOUNCES SUCCESSFUL MOON TEST LAUNCH;
SAN DIEGO – TransOrbital, Inc. and International Space Company (ICS) Kosmotras today announced a “perfect launch” of TransOrbital’s commercial lunar mission “Trailblazer” structural test article satellite at 8pm, Moscow time. The launch represents a major milestone in TransOrbital’s much-anticipated routine lunar delivery service. This test article allowed TransOrbital to test the interface between TransOrbital and ISC Kosmotras, the interface between the spacecraft and the Dnepr launch vehicle, downlink telemetry, and various aspects of the launch process.
Today’s launch, from the Baikonur Cosmodrome, Kazakhstan, of the “Trailblazer” into low Earth orbit was pronounced a total success by TransOrbital president, Dennis Laurie. The mission was designed to test rocket separation, downlink telemetry, spacecraft orientation and mass properties in preparation for the formal lunar launch.
Vladimir A. Andreev, Director General of ICS Kosmotras, said, “We are excited about teaming with TransOrbital’s first commercial development of the Moon. The ICS Kosmotras Dnepr LV SS-18 ICBM provides a proven cost effective technology for lunar launches.”
TransOrbital is on target to begin routine Moon travel, starting in October 2003. Laurie stated, “Significant commercial demand exists for high definition (HD) video, lunar mapping, data storage, scientific research, communications, and data archiving. Many corporate marketers see their products associated with the first commercial missions to the Moon.”
“Additionally, there is worldwide demand from private citizens to send personal items such as photographs, legal documents, business cards, burial ashes, and jewelry to the Moon.”
TransOrbital is the first and only commercial company licensed by the U.S. Department of State and the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) for private sector flights to the Moon.
Sir Arthur C. Clarke noted visionary and renowned writer, praised today’s mission and commented, “All good wishes on TransOrbital’s successful “TrailBlazer” launch.”
Support for the Trailblazer program has been provided by a number of companies, including Lunar Enterprise Corporation and Space Age Publishing.

The sound barrier isn’t the only thing the Air Force’s X-51A Waverider (sweet missile name) shattered in its first independent test flight yesterday. The plane flew at Mach 5, the speed known as hypersonic (sweet speed name), for all of 200 seconds without losing acceleration. The record until this flight was what now seems like a meager 12 seconds.
The Waverider was launched from a B-52 Stratofortress (really sweet plane name) and used a rocket booster to zoom up to Mach 4.8. When that booster was cast off the missile, the scramjet engine itself took control. This supersonic cumbustion engine actually creates a shockwave which the missile basically rides through the sky. Thus Waverider. Also, somewhat reminiscent of Dolphin Olympics. After its hypersonic flight came to a close, the Waverider crashed into non-shock waves of the Pacific Ocean, never to be seen again. No, seriously, all that technology and they’ve got to just let it sink. But no worries, they have three more in storage somewhere.
According to DVICE, program manager behind the scramjet project Charles Brink said, “We equate this leap in engine technology as equivalent to the post-World War II jump from propeller-driven aircraft to jet engines.”
For some extra context, there’s also this video highlighting the missile project from before the test flight.
I’m sorry, I still can’t get over the word “Stratofortress.”

Yesterday the US Commercial Space Launch Competitiveness Act passed through both congressional houses. The bill protects private spaceflight from regulatory oversight, giving the industry up to 10 years to get its innovations in place before government overseers step in and start counting rivets.
But more interesting (if less immediately applicable), the bill lets entreprenauts keep whatever nonliving souvenirs they find out in the void, opening the door to everything from asteroid-based gold mines to comet-collected rocket fuel. The next step is President Obama’s desk, but he’s likely to sign.
Going to space is risky business. Besides the upfront danger to life and rocket, astronomical investments are at stake, and certain government agencies want to reduce risk by imposing regulations on commercial spaceflight. At the forefront is the Federal Aviation Administration, which would like to manage spaceship specs much like it does commercial planes.
But the industry says regulations like that would hinder its progress to the stars. “Investing in space is a long term, high up front, and highly risky investment,” says Henry Hertzfeld, space policy researcher at George Washington University. Despite hyped stories about Mars colonies and Lance Bass in a cosmonaut suit, the commercial space industry is young and technologically immature. To build a rocket that can land on an ocean barge, or an egalitarian edge-of-space tourism company, the field needs more time, more innovation.
More money, too. But even the most space-crazed billionaire wouldn’t want to invest cash in a new, uncertain industry that also happens to be overly regulated. And Congress agrees, so, with the space bill, it gave the industry another eight years without regulatory oversight. Or at least, without much of it. The FAA still issues licenses for all US spacecraft launches and reentries.
“It’s a real vote of confidence from Congress that commercial space matters, and we can shape and grow the industry without the burdens of the federal government,” says Eric Stallmer, president of Commercial Spaceflight Federation, an industry group. | aerospace |

Elon Musk’s aerospace company Space X has launched its first Falcon Heavy mission since 2019 from Florida.
Falcon Heavy, the world’s most powerful active rocket, lifted off yesterday, Tuesday, 1 November, in Florida amid dense fog. The entire rocket system itself reportedly consisted of three Falcon 9 boosters strapped side-by-side.
This particular launch was to have taken place earlier. But a series of delays ensured the rocket remained on the ground – well, until yesterday, Tuesday. Florida’s Florida’s Cape Canaveral played host to the lift-off.
The rocket initially debuted in 2018 when it sent a Tesla of red hue into orbit. Given the success of the test payload, plans were underway to continue the exploratory run. But for some reason, for years, another launch was delayed by Space Force, a United States military branch established under for President Donald Trump to oversee some of the Pentagon’s activities in space.
The Falcon Heavy mission was successful and elicited cheers not only from engineers that were part of the team but from social media users as well, some of whom followed the live launch, which was terminated halfway at the behest, allegedly, of Space Force.
At this rate, Elon Musk might be one step toward owning a planet. Who knows? | aerospace |

It is planned that the probe reaches its target in 2018, and return the samples to Earth in 2023. It will take at least 2.1 ounces of samples for study. One of the tools spacecraft spectrometer OVIRS (OSIRIS-
REx Visible and Infrared
Spectrometer) is designed to measure the visible and near-infrared light
emitted by an asteroid that will determine which chemical substances are
present in the space object.
Dante Lauretta, principal investigator for the mission at the University of Arizona, as well as other members of the team are convinced that the spectrograph OSIRIS-REX be discovered asteroid Bennu organic material. The carbon rich asteroid Bennu keeps a record of the early history of our solar system, how its composition is likely to remain unchanged from the time it was formed about four billion years ago. On this site may contain natural resources such as water, organic and precious metals. Does this mean that the asteroid Bennu can be detected and primitive forms of life? Dante Lauretta debunks this proposal. He believes that the probability of finding life in such a harsh environment of space is negligible. "We are confident that there is no Bennu microbial life. The body size of Bennu, is too small and the atmosphere of gravity in order to protect any known form of life from the ravages of space "- says Loretta. | aerospace |

Currently, there are hundreds of operational commercial satellites with a revenue stream of tens of billions of dollars per year. There are also a number of other satellites that assist in navigation, weather prediction, and telecommunication. Frequent satellite failures caused by space weather have fueled a surge in interest with specification and prediction of space weather during the last decade.
Our section is working on understanding of the dynamical evolution of the hazardous space radiation environment and developing the tools for specification and prediction of the adverse effects of space environment using models and data assimilation. We study fundamental processes in the near-Earth environment and focus on understanding fundamental processes responsible for the evolution of space radiation. Our research will help safely design and operate satellites and maintain ground networks. In our research we try to bridge our theoretical studies with high performance computing to develop tools that can be used by engineers.
Below you can find more details on the main areas of research in our section:
Nachfolgend finden Sie weitere Details zu den Hauptforschungsgebieten unserer Abteilung:
Earth’s radiation belts consist of highly energetic protons and electrons trapped by Earth’s magnetic field in the region of 1.2~8 Re (Earth radii) away from Earth’s center, which can be hazardous for satellite equipment. Our group uses modelling approaches to better understand the dynamic evolution of the outer radiation belts. Specifically, we have developed physics-based 3D and 4D Versatile Electron Radiation Belt (VERB) codes to help us understand important mechanisms controlling the dynamic evolution of radiation belts, such as radial diffusion, local acceleration, local loss, magnetopause shadowing and electric convection.
Analysis of radiation belt observations present a major challenge, as satellite observations are often incomplete, inaccurate and have only limited spatial coverage. Nevertheless, through data assimilation observations can be blended with information from physics-based models, in order to fill gaps and lead to a better understanding of the underlying dynamical processes. We have developed a scheme that enables efficient data assimilation from multiple satellite missions into the state-of-the-art partial differential equation-based model of the inner magnetosphere Versatile Electron Radiation Belt (VERB-3D).
Machine learning (ML) methods and algorithms can be applied to space weather related problems in order to develop new data-driven models of different physical phenomena in space and to enhance existing physics-based models. In our group, we use ML algorithms to develop predictive models of electron density in the plasmasphere and Kp index, and use these models to enhance our radiation belt forecasts.
The ring current is an electric current encircling the Earth at the distances between ~3 and ~5 Earth’s radii from the center of the Earth in the equatorial plane. It is a crucial component in our understanding of the magnetosphere dynamics and geomagnetic storms, and it can also affect human infrastructures such as high-latitude power grids or currently operating communication or navigation satellites. In our group, we use the four-dimensional Versatile Electron Radiation Belt (VERB-4D) code to model the dynamics of the ring current. | aerospace |

|Lucknow moves on|
The first flight awaits a grand welcome in Lucknow. It is an 180-seat Airbus 320 aircraft from Singapore. It would be given a 'water salute'—water fired at a great height from two sides at the landing aircraft- a practice that has been following for quite some time.
Internationally, the UP state capital has direct air connectivity to Saudi Arabia, Dubai and Oman.
Aviation experts feel that a flight to and
from Singapore marks the beginning of Lucknow becoming an important air destination for various airlines. Direct connectivity to Bangkok (Thailand) and Colombo (Sri Lanka), are also being planned.
Earlier, Nepal-based airlines Buddha Air had toyed with the idea of providing direct connectivity between Lucknow and Kathmandu, but the experiment failed within two months for shortage of flyers.
Operators want the airlines to link Lucknow with other tourist destinations, including European nations. Oman Airways is already planning an increase in the number of flights from Lucknow to Muscat and further up to London.

At that time, it was very much unknown what the lasting impact would be of the pandemic, but, from observing the fleet activities of the last few months, we have now started to review any remaining scheduled return to service dates. In reviewing the scheduled return dates until the end of the year, we have applied the following logic: Continue reading “”
Based on customer feedback, we are making a series of OEM name changes to bring our data up to date with our policy of reflecting the current support OEM. These name changes will be implemented in Fleets Analyzer from 8 July.

As of June 1st 2020 Cirium will be making a further adjustment to best reflect the current in service and stored fleets. However, we will not be retrospectively applying the new storage and in service classifications to data prior to June 1st 2020.
Aircraft will now be reflected as entering storage if any of the following criteria are met: Continue reading “”
The world of business aviation has always had a degree of secrecy about certain elements of it, and nowhere is that more obvious than in order data.
Order dates for business aviation shown in Fleets Analyser tend to come in two different types. There are known orders – which are a minority – where a major operator has made a multi aircraft order that the OEM in question is happy to publicise, and then there are the unknown orders which tend to be small and single aircraft orders where non-disclosure agreements are commonplace.
Based on customer feedback, we have introduced a new type of ‘usage’ to our database. The new usage is ‘Spares Use / Parts Reclamation’.
This usage will be applied to aircraft when those aircraft have been acquired by a company/military air arm purely for spares use (sometimes referred to as “non-fliers” or “donor” airframes).
This new usage will always be applied to aircraft that are in storage, and would typically be followed by a retirement event.
This new usage will initially only be applied on our business aviation, helicopter and military datasets, as well as military operated examples of types in our commercial dataset.
As we have been getting plenty of interest in our storage data, we thought it would be useful to provide an update on how we are processing this data in line with the latest trends and patterns we are seeing from our tracking data. Continue reading “”
The recent Covid-19 (Coronavirus) pandemic has caused significant numbers of the world’s aircraft to be moved from ‘In Service’ to ‘Storage’. Our fleet research team are busy monitoring the situation and making status changes to individual aircraft with the help of evidence from flight tracking data. Information can be found here which describes the methodology. To see daily updates, please visit here. Continue reading “”
The global airline demand scenario is presently significantly disrupted as a consequence of the COVID-19 health pandemic. Many airlines are storing aircraft but the daily dynamic of this change is increasingly challenging to research as many aircraft can be stored for short periods or indefinitely. Cirium are reacting as quickly as possible to these events and we are reassigning resource where appropriate to react to the situation, which should mitigate much of any impact.
In addition to our previous updates, Cirium will be adding a provisional future return to service date of 30/09/2020 to aircraft which we believe to be temporarily parked due to the COVID-19 health pandemic and where the airline has not indicated any return to service date. The coming few months remain unclear and we will continue to monitor the pandemic and these dates in the coming days and weeks and will adjust as more details become available. Airlines that provide different return to service dates for specific aircraft, or fleets will have those reflected and as aircraft are returned to service, each aircraft will be treated on an individual basis.
The global airline demand scenario is presently significantly disrupted as a consequence of the Covid-19 health pandemic. Many airlines are storing aircraft but the daily dynamic of this change is increasingly challenging to research as many aircraft can be stored for short periods or indefinitely. Cirium are reacting as quickly as possible to these events and we are reassigning resource where appropriate to react to the situation, which should mitigate much of any impact.
Our standard approach to ‘storing’ aircraft is to do so after 2 weeks continuous inactivity and this is reflected in our messaging on product already. We will continue to use this benchmark as every airline will manage their fleets differently, some spreading utilisation across fleets and some using just a selection of aircraft. This means our data will remain fluid and some aircraft may be shown as stored before returning to service within 2 weeks, at which point we will remove the stored status period entirely. Meantime, many airlines are announcing their stored fleet quantities, but there may be some lag in our empirical data when compared to these comments. However, given that our stored data is derived from our flight tracking data, which reflects actual flights flown on a daily and near real-time basis, we are confident that our stored fleet detail reflects the actual situation as closely as possible, albeit with some short lag around parking and returning aircraft to operation. | aerospace |

French aviation and defence equipment manufacturer Safran Helicopter Engines and Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) have signed a workshare agreement for the joint development of the engine intended for the future 13-tonne Indian Multi-Role Helicopter (IMRH) and its naval version Deck Based Multi-Role Helicopter (DBMRH).
As reported by IndiaNarrative.com, the French major and HAL had signed a Memorandum of Understanding in July 2022 to create a new joint venture intended to develop helicopter engines under the Indian government’s vision of ‘Atmanirbhar Bharat’.
Wednesday’s agreement stipulates the sharing of activities within the joint venture where both parties have agreed on an equivalent repartition. In particular, HAL will take part in the design, development, and production of some of the core engine components, which is a breakthrough achievement in terms of expertise and know-how in the country.
The workshare agreement was signed by HAL Aero Engine Research and Design Centre General Manager K Ramesh and Safran Helicopter Engines’ EVP Sales and Marketing Florent Chauvancy in presence of HAL CMD C B Ananthakrishnan and Franck Saudo, CEO, Safran Helicopter Engines.
“The development of the IMRH helicopter continues, and a 1/3 scale model was displayed by HAL at Aero India 2023. Discussions are also continuing with the Indian Armed Forces on the operational requirements for this new helicopter,” Safran said in a statement after the workshare agreement signing.
It stated that the availability of an indigenous engine will enhance the self-reliance content on the platform and demonstrates the commitment of both Safran Helicopter Engines and HAL to the Narendra Modi government’s vision of Atmanirbhar Bharat – particularly in defence technologies.
“The joint development of high power engine is a new milestone in HALs ever-growing capabilities in the sector with a competent partner like Safran Helicopter Engines. We are confident of making the engine meet the highly stringent and demanding requirements of Indian Defence customers,” said HAL CMD Ananthakrishnan.
Calling HAL its “partner for decades”, Saudo asserted that this programme will bring many advanced technologies to the Indian aerospace ecosystem and will also provide the Indian Armed Forces with state-of-the-art solutions.
Both Safran and HAL will continue to work on the development of this joint venture in the coming months, which is intended not only to develop an engine for the IMRH, but also for other helicopters.
They also agreed on the condition for the transfer right to HAL for manufacturing of seven critical forging and casting raw parts, for further enhancement of indigenous content in Shakti engine of Dhruv and Light Combat Helicopter (LCH) programmes.

He had acquired this aircraft in June 1947 and renamed his airline from Jamaica Air Transport to Cayman Islands Airways. You can just make out this name behind the cockpit under the wing of the aircraft in the accompanying photo.
In October 1947 King Parker made his first PBY flight to George Town, then to Cayman Brac and on to Kingston. To show that operations were not smooth or regular his next flight was delayed until November. The second flight was delayed by Government red tape and political pressure was applied from Washington, DC, through the major US carriers who did not want competition. He had continuing problems with operations including an engine quitting between Key West and Havana and a brush with a hurricane. This hurricane in September 1947 seriously affected Cayman and Parker had to fly his aircraft from Florida up to Little Rock Arkansas to escape the storm.
Due to financial difficulties, no doubt brought on by the operational difficulties and red tape, King Parker sold his airline to Wing Commander Owen Roberts in December 1947 and Roberts changed the name again to New Caribbean International.
The PBY aircraft that were used by Parker and Roberts were built in the US by the Consolidated Aircraft Company and called PBY’s, the aircraft used in the services to the Cayman Islands were PBY-5’s. The same aircraft were known as Catalinas in the United Kingdom and Cansos in Canada. The aircraft had a huge wingspan, over 100 feet and were designed for long over water patrols hunting for submarines. Their endurance – that is how long they could stay in the air without refuelling – was legendary at 30 hours. The Catalina, which spotted the German battleship Bismarck in the North Sea in 1941 in World War 2, reportedly had been in the air for 17 hours. The Bismarck was sunk in the subsequent sea battle.
Owen Robert’s Catalinas operated out of the North Sound. Passengers were ferried to the planes from a small wood jetty with a thatch palm roof by a motor launch. The launch operator was Mr. Benny Ross; his regular assistant Mr. Bill McTaggart. The story is told that one day they forgot to untie the launch before the plane took off and it was in the air flying behind the plane with Benny and Bill hanging on for dear life before they could cut the line; a pretty exciting ride.
One of Owen Robert’s PBY planes is still at the bottom of the North Sound, as it sunk in 1952 after it took off with water in its hull and the pilot skillfully landed and beached it. The engines were salvaged but the fuselage and wings are still there substantially buried by successive fill operations.
Owen Roberts operated scheduled services from Cayman to Kingston and Tampa from 1947 until 1953 and was very involved in the development and construction of the airfield in Grand Cayman.
Owen Roberts was killed in an aeroplane crash taking off from Kingston in April 1953, his name being commemorated in the naming of Grand Cayman’s International Airport. This flight was the inaugural flight for a new land plane service from Kingston to Cayman and several Caymanians were killed in the crash.
One of the PBY aircraft that operated in Cayman and subsequently in Canada, where it crashed, has been renovated to non-flying condition and is preserved in the Western Atlantic Aviation museum in Halifax Nova Scotia. The aircraft had been operated in Canada and crashed in eastern Canada but was subsequently recovered by the RCAF and donated to the museum. This is the aircraft that was operated by Owen Roberts in Cayman with the registration VP JAU, the sister ship to VP-JAO in the photo in this article.
Most of the information and photos in this article comes from Tom Giraldi, the study group leader of the Cayman Islands for the British Caribbean Philatelic Journal. Mr. Giraldi has been coming to Cayman for almost 40 years. | aerospace |

The jets, dispatched from RAF Coningsby, Lincolnshire, to escort the plane back to the airport, made a huge noise that shook the houses for miles around.
It was heard from miles away and left people fearing an explosion had happened.
A 25-year-old woman has since been arrested on suspicion of two assaults and endangering an aircraft.
But the question has been asked by people as to whether the supersonic travel was necessary and if military planes were actually allowed to create such noise over residential areas, Essex Live reported.
An RAF spokesman explained: "Supersonic travel (Mach 1.0+) is sometimes necessary when Quick Reaction Alert is launched.
"If there is a threat in the air, it's imperative for our Typhoons to get there as quickly as possible.
"It doesn't necessarily have to be low to be loud. Breaking the sound barrier displaces a lot of air. If you've ever seen a typhoon at an airshow you'll know how loud they are, even below Mach 1!"
Mach is used to measure airspeed, and Mach 1.0+ means the aircraft was moving at the speed of sound. Mach 2 would mean it would be going twice the speed of sound.
They continued: "Typhoons sit at Lossie and RAF Coningsby ready to launch at a moment's notice. RAF Boulmer watches the skies, monitoring for unusual activity such as tonight, and RAF High Wycombe gives the order to launch. Boulmer then controls the Typhoons to the suspect."
Why did it make such a racket?
A sonic boom is caused by shock waves created by any object that travels through the air faster than the speed of sound.
They create huge amounts of sound energy. When an object moves through the air, it makes pressure waves in front of and behind it. | aerospace |

The big NASA moon rocket, the Space Launch System or SLS, borrowed a lot of features from the Space Shuttle. Is it any safer? The answer is yes. The Space Shuttle had no abort system for a catastrophic failure, as we saw with the Challenger accident in 1986. However, even though the SLS uses the same type solid rocket boosters that failed Challenger, the Crew in the Orion capsule is on top of the rocket with an escape system to rocket them away from an exploding core stage. With the Orion capsule, the escape tower will be jettisoned at some point before reaching orbit, possibly making escape impossible in the latter stage of powered flight. Both SpaceX’s Dragon and Boeing’s Starliner have escape rockets built in for the entire flight.

Pitt Meadows Regional Airport is a general aviation airport located 45 km east of downtown Vancouver. It has three runways as well as a float plane dock on the adjacent Fraser River.
A runway at Pitt Meadows was used to represent the runway of an Air Force Base in 4.12 "Tangent". If the base were meant to be near Cheyenne Mountain, it would have likely have been Peterson AFB in Colorado Springs.
Pitt Meadows Airport is located in the Pitt Meadows District east of Vancouver and Bridge Studios, just south of Lougheed Highway. It opened in 1963 and now has three runways, one of which is 4300 feet long and can serve small business jets. The airport is used for general aviation, private pilot training, and small commercial charter flights. It also has a seaplane access on the Fraser River, so that float planes can travel to or from the many other seaplane docks in the greater Vancouver area. The pictures below were taken on a particularly nasty day weather-wise, so no flight activity was underway.
In 4.12 "Tangent," runway 18 (pointing South, or 180 degrees from North) is used for testing the X-301. At 2500 feet long, runway 18 is not actually the longest runway at the airport, but must have been more convenient for filming. The X-301 doesn't really need a runway, since it doesn't take off or land on the ground, but the site provides a convenient place for observation of Teal'c's fly-bys to the rest of SG-1, Hammond, Davis, and General Vidrine. The runway is also the launching point for O'Neill and Teal'c's ill-fated test flight, and the ship never returns to the airfield.

Robus-1 is about research and exploration. Conceived by private enterprise to enable universities and space programs to reach the Moon, that is our goal.
- Robus-1 will host up to five rovers the size of the Mars rover, Opportunity.
- Each participant will build their own rover to execute their unique scientific mission.
- Robus-1 provides mission management, transportation, and logistics.
- Learn more about the current concept, calculated payload capacity, and rover device delivery method.
By reducing space travel costs, our mission aims to put lunar research within reach of smaller space programs and universities. Consider researching development of water location and extraction techniques or regolith management experimentation.
Observatory-friendly, the natural environment of the Moon provides a multitude of distinct advantages for reflector and radio telescopes. For example, the far side is shielded from Earth’s radio noise allowing detection of faint radio noise signals.
NASA and other research organizations have confirmed the presence of water in polar craters, increasing the feasibility of long-term lunar habitation. The Moon could be a critical first- stop supply station resource for long-duration, interplanetary journeys. | aerospace |

The country is also seeking foreign supply sources.
On May 3, 2013, on the Hoa Lac flight testing site, the Vietnam Academy of Science and Technology successfully organized the test flights of 3 out of the 5 manufactured UAV prototypes.
The five UAVs have been created by scientists from the academy within a program entitled “Studies and manufacture of unmanned aerial vehicles for scientific research purposes”. Dr Pham Ngoc Lang chairs the program.
These five UAVs include AV.UAV.MS1, AV.UAV.S1, AV.UAV.S2, AV.UAV.S3 and AV.UAV.S4. All of them are manufactured locally, with domestically produced materials.
According to Lang, scientists began their research in 2008 to create these prototypes.
Professor Dr. of Science Do Trung Ta, Chair of the National Committee of the Policies for Sciences and Technologies, commented that this is a very important event, which marks a milestone in Vietnam’s science research development.
He said that Vietnam, when carrying out scientific research, can take full advantage of a new comer who can utilize the most advanced technologies.
According to Dr. Lang, the most important significance of the successful testing of UAV prototypes is that it shows that Vietnam now can master the high technology in developing UAV.
Vietnam can buy UAVs from foreign sources, but only under the purely commercial contracts, without the technology transfer. This means that when troubles occur during the operation, Vietnam would have to import equipments and accessories from the supply sources and pay money to hire foreign specialists.
Also according to Lang, Vietnam now can undertake all the phases of the UAV manufacturing process, from researching, basic designing, manufacturing designing, composite materials. The parts for the automatic flight control units have been imported as separated parts, while Vietnam does not intend to use popular parts for the security reason.
The only two parts Vietnam still cannot make itself are the engine and propellers which it has to import from Japan and France.
After the successful testing flights, 6 UAVs have been used to serve the scientific research.
On May 17-19, the UAVs implemented the duties of recording, taking pictures and measuring the spectrum of the natural subjects on the earth to standardize the remote sensing data images collected from satellites. The fly zone was the Lac Duong district in Lam Dong province.
This is a very important part of the program on developing sciences and technologies to serve the socio-economic development in the Central Highlands, called the Tay Nguyen 3 Program.
Prior to that, this work was still done with manned aircrafts, each of which costs tens of thousands of dollars.
The announcement by Vietnam on successfully manufacturing UAV has caught the special attention from the world.
Xinhua News has commented that the achievement showed the great success of Vietnam in its efforts to penetrate the international UAV market.
The Diplomat wrote that the Vietnamese military science has made a breakthrough when the smallest of the UAVs can fly at the speed of 70 kilometers per hour within a radius of 2 kilometers and the maximum height of 200 meters, while the biggest can fly at the speed of 180 kilometers per hour within a radius of 100 kilometers and the maximum height of 3,000 meters. | aerospace |

We will discuss four principal propulsion systems: the propeller, the turbine (or jet) engine, the ramjet, and the rocket. Why are there different types of engines? Jul 01, · Jet engines and car engines. One way to understand modern jet engines is to compare them with the piston engines used in early airplanes, which are very similar to the ones still used in cars. A piston engine (also called a reciprocating engine, because the pistons move back and forth or "reciprocate") makes its power in strong steel "cooking.
Because jet engines are only used for propulsion, and what matters in propulsion is propulsive power,Fv. 0, and the advance speed is understood. But when the engine is separately built from: the propeller (as in reciprocating engines, turboshafts, and so on), the engine performances are given. Rocket, any of a type of jet-propulsion device carrying either solid or liquid propellants that provide both the fuel and oxidizer required for combustion. The term is commonly applied to any of various vehicles, including firework skyrockets, guided missiles, and launch vehicles used in spaceflight.

Watkins ©Copyrighted and Published on April 17, 2019
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is working with Boeing to fast-track a tentatively approved “fix” to the troubled 737 MAX series of aircraft. This is not the “fix” the flying public had in mind. The same Seattle, Washington division of the FAA that initially approved the flying death trap as “airworthy” and “safe to fly” on March 8, 2017 is now working expeditiously to certify Boeing’s software "fix" to the MCAS flight safety system.
An excellent six-minute educational video from Vox.com explains why the 737 MAX has engineering flaws that are far beyond the software “fix” offered by Boeing and tentatively approved by the FAA.
The FAA’s Fast Track Review of the Modified MCAS System
In March 2019, the FAA’s Flight Standardization Board (FSB)and Seattle-based Aviation Evaluation Group for Transport Aircraft reviewed Boeing’s proposed modifications to the MCAS system. On April 16, 2019, the FSB released a draft report that found the MCAS system to be “operationally suitable.” The FSB report also recommended additional pilot training to address the MCAS system description, functionality, associated failure conditions, and flight crew alerting.
The FAA shortened the period of time for public comment on the draft FSB Report. Members of the public must deliver their comments to the FAA by the April 30, 2019 deadline. This is the second time the FAA has shortened the period for public comment during this review process.
Sadly, the FAA’s abbreviated time period for public comment follows a proposed Boeing modification to an airplane that has experienced two crashes and killed a total of 346 passengers and crew members. In the aftermath of these tragic deaths, the FAA's truncated and expedited certification process for the 737 MAX airplane with the modified MCAS system is unconscionable. This FAA action demonstrates that the public agency responsible for flight safety is still captive to Boeing’s corporate interests.
Furthermore, the FAA is still placing Boeing’s profit interest ahead of passenger safety, even after 346 passengers and crew members died in two 737 MAX airplanes.
The fundament engineering design problem with the 737 MAX aircraft is the size and placement of its two engines. The engine size and placement causes the nose of the airplane to pitch up during a full-throttle takeout.
This is a built-in engineering design flaw. Rather than redesigning the airplane before commercial production began, Boeing tried to fix this flight safety problem by installing the Maneuvering Characteristics Augmentation System (MCAS) system on the airplane. The MCAS software “fix” was the cheapest and least desirable flight safety solution available to Boeing.
Using its army of lobbyists and clout within the FAA, Boeing won certification of an inherently defective passenger aircraft in record time. This feat was relatively easy to achieve in an era of deregulation legislation passed by Congress for FAA certification protocols and flight safety operations.
After new 737 MAX airplanes crashed in October and March, both Boeing and the FAA knew they had a major problem on their hands. The FAA had never before certified a new plane with advance knowledge that the aircraft had a built-in engineering design flaw which jeopardized airworthiness and flight safety. This reckless certification action guaranteed that passengers and crew members on 737 MAX commercial airplanes would die in plane crashes in massive numbers. And, they did -- 346 of them to date.
A Throwback to the Ford Pinto Days (1971-1976)
Boeing, with the FAA’s blessing, has made a strategic decision that it is far cheaper to pay death claims from 737 MAX airplane crashes than it is to redesign the airplanes in production at its Renton, Washington manufacturing facility. Americans have seen this kind of short-sighted business approach before.
Ford Motor Company made the same strategic decision in 1971 after the company learned that its new Pinto model car had an exploding gas tank when the vehicle was hit from the rear in a low-to-moderate impact accident. It was a basic design flaw in the car that Ford knew about before the cars hit the market. Approximately 180 deaths and thousands of burn-related injuries occurred as a result of rear-impact-related fuel tank fires in the Pinto.
As was the case with Boeing and the 737 MAX airplane, Ford rushed the Pinto into production to fight imported sub-compact cars from its foreign competitors. From Ford's standpoint, it was cheaper to pay the death claims from Pinto rear-end accidents than it was to redesign the Pinto cars in production.
In September 1978, after a public outcry from consumer groups over the horrific deaths and burn-related injuries, Ford issued a recall for 1.5 million 1971-76 Pinto sedans and Runabouts, plus all similar 1975-76 Mercury Bobcats, for a safety repair. Each car received a new fuel-tank filler neck that extended deeper into the tank and was more resistant to breaking off in a rear-end collision.
The FAA’s Action is Not the “Fix” the Public Deserves
Welcome to the age of lobbyist-controlled FAA operations, “bought and paid for” Congress members who deregulated flight safety protocols to the manufacturer, and one greedy and reckless airplane manufacturer that controls 38% of the market. The FAA’s tentative approval of the modified MCAS system is not the “fix” we deserve for the 737 MAX airplane.
How many passengers and crew members have to die in 737 MAX airplane crashes before the FAA makes Boeing redesign this defective aircraft to eliminate its built-in design flaw?
Who among us will be on the death-roll from the next 737 MAX crash?
