MURPHY, LTJG, USN
Terence Murphy '61
Date of birth: July 3, 1939
Date of death: April 9, 1965
From the 1961 Lucky Bag:
From Aviation Safety:
The outcome of VF-96’s (and the F-4B’s) first MiG engagement remains uncertain. Lt(jg) Terry Murphy and “rookie” Ens Ron Fegan were section leaders for a VF-96 BARCAP on April 9, 1965, replacing an F-4B (BuNo 151425) that had crashed shortly after being launched from USS Ranger
The rapidly rearranged Combat Air Patrol entered its orbit as two separated sections, each on different radio frequencies. Murphy and Fegan, in “Showtime 611” (BuNo 151403), took their section close enough to Communist Chinese Hainan Island for four Chinese navy Shenyang F-5s from the Nanhai Naval Air Group to be launched from Lingshui Naval Air Force Base.
Turning to investigate the contacts on their radar scopes, Murphy and Fegan became separated from their wingmen, Lt Howie Watkins and Lt(jg) Jack Mueller, who in turn were attacked by a MiG 17F. The latter disengaged its afterburner and turned back for a second run at the F-4. Moments later, Murphy apparently fired an AIM-7 AAM at a MiG during a vertical maneuver, but he was not contactable again, until an aircraft (possibly mistakenly identified as a MiG by Mueller) was seen falling away into the clouds in flames.
Meanwhile, all three of the remaining VF-96 F-4Bs became involved in individual dogfights, and at least four AIM-7 and three AIM-9 launches were attempted, although all missiles either failed to track or did not leave the aircraft. According to the pilot of the No 4 MiG-17F, Capt Li Dayun (interviewed in 1994 by a Joint Task Force investigator), “Showtime 611” was hit by one of these malfunctioning missiles and crashed just offshore, killing its crew.
He reported that the four MiG pilots never received permission to fire, and claimed that all returned to base, although Murphy’s crew was subsequently awarded a MiG kill. The engagement was then “buried” so as to avoid provoking an international incident, but some problems that would arise over and over again in future combats were revealed for the first time.
Poor communications, lack of flight formation integrity, unreliable missiles, and out-of-parameters missile launches were to be frequent themes for the next seven years, as was the determination of the Chinese to defend their airspace. There were also other cases where Phantom IIs were accidentally fired on by “friendly” missiles.
From Wall of Faces:
I was a plane captain in VF-96 from 1962 through 1965 and knew Mr Fegan and Mr Murphy as brave men that flew off into darkness, into a war that is still not understood to face untold dangers then return to a darkened ship in rough seas and they did it time and time again. I was honored to know them. God's speed. HUGHLYN KEITH, 9/7/03 | aerospace |

American is currently in the process of the largest fleet renewal in its history, with over 270 aircraft remaining on order from Airbus and Boeing. American Airlines also announced a new livery to be painted on all aircraft. American Airlines expects to be done repainting all aircraft by the end of 2017, and has already completed repainting of all of its wide-body aircraft that are expected to remain in service beyond 2017.
Maps, Directions, and Place Reviews
All US Airways airframes were transferred to American Airlines on April 8, 2015 when a Single Operating Certificate was awarded by the Federal Aviation Administration.
American is the largest operator of Airbus A320 family of aircraft in the world. It operates the largest fleet of A321 aircraft, and has the second largest A319 fleet, only behind easyJet. American also operates the fourth largest fleet of Boeing 737 Next Generation family aircraft worldwide (behind Ryanair, Southwest Airlines, and United Airlines), while having the second largest fleet of the Boeing 737-800 variant (the only Next Generation variant used by American), trailing Ryanair. Its wide-body aircraft are mainly Boeing airliners. It is the fifth-largest operator of the Boeing 777 series and the Boeing 787 series, as well as the fourth-largest operator of the Boeing 767 series.
The following table represents all American Airlines mainline fleet types and layouts in service (including US Airways airframes) as of June 2017.
"W" class is Premium Economy that is offered for selected international wide body routes. "MCE" class is Main Cabin Extra that is offered for several routes.
- Eight Boeing 377s and seven Lockheed L-049 Constellations served in American Overseas Airways' transatlantic service and were acquired by Pan American World Airways.
- In early 1970 before AA took delivery of its own Boeing 747, the company leased two Pan Am 747-121s. These aircraft were painted in full AA livery, and were operated until early 1971, then returned to Pan Am after AA received its own new 747-123s.
- After American acquired Trans Caribbean Airways (TCA) in 1971, the company briefly owned TCA's fleet of five Douglas DC-8s (three -50s & two -61s). These aircraft were never operated by AA and were sold to other carriers. American continued to operate Boeing 727-200 aircraft that were previously flown by TCA.
- American operated a small fleet of five Convair 440 prop aircraft from the mid-1970s to 1980 in the Caribbean via a wholly owned subsidiary, American Inter-Island Airlines. Scheduled CV-440 passenger service was operated between San Juan, St. Thomas and St. Croix until runway improvements were completed at St. Thomas thus permitting a return of American jet service following the crash of a Boeing 727-100 operating as American Airlines Flight 625 at St. Thomas (STX) on April 27, 1976. There is a small exhibit commemorating American Inter-Island at the American Airlines C.R. Smith Museum near Dallas/Ft. Worth Airport.
- Most Boeing 747-100 wide body aircraft were retired from passenger service in the late 1970s and served as freighters until their final retirement in 1985. Several were retired earlier with NASA acquiring one of the early retired aircraft in 1974 and then modifying it as a Shuttle Carrier Aircraft (SCA) in order to transport Space Shuttle Orbiter Vehicles. Early in its NASA career, the aircraft, N905NA, continued to carry the American Airlines tricolor cheatline before eventually being repainted.
- American briefly operated a Boeing 747-200C freighter for six months in 1984.
- Twenty-one Boeing 737-100/200/300s and eight British Aerospace BAe 146-200 aircraft that were operated between 1987 and 1992 were acquired with the assets of AirCal and primarily operated from AA's hub at San Jose International Airport.
- American briefly operated five McDonnell Douglas MD-87s and five MD-90s acquired as a result of its acquisition of Reno Air.
- American Airlines was the largest passenger McDonnell Douglas DC-10 operator before retiring this wide body type in 2000, operating a total of 55 DC-10-10s and 11 DC-10-30s.
- After acquiring Trans World Airlines (TWA), American operated 28 Boeing 717-200 and 8 McDonnell Douglas MD-81 aircraft between 2001 and 2003. American sold off TWA's fleet of Boeing 757-200s and Boeing 767-300ERs.
- American Airlines retired its Airbus A300-600R wide body aircraft in August 2009 after 21 years of service. Afterwards, American was an exclusive Boeing operator (including McDonnell Douglas aircraft, due to its merger with Boeing in 1997) until 2013, when it took delivery of its first Airbus A319.
- Aircraft that were acquired through the merger with US Airways that weren't previously operated by American included the Airbus A320, A330-200, A330-300, and the Embraer 190.

Today, however, fiction has become a reality, and police agencies across the country increasingly are turning to these miniature aerial platforms to help in their work.
Defined in legal terms as unmanned aerial systems, but more commonly known as drones, they're also helping survey storm damage, checking hard-to-reach areas on bridges and towers, showing off real estate or scouting out possible construction sites.
But it's their use by police and other law enforcement agencies where drones have received the most public attention.
Tight FAA restrictions
Lt. Christopher Hermance, who commands the Special Tactics Unit at the Dover Police Department, is the agency's chief UAS pilot. He is backed up by two other pilots. All have undergone initial flying instruction as well as tactical training in drone use, and are certified by the Federal Aviation Administration, which oversees drone use in the United States.
Law enforcement agencies in Wilmington and Ocean View, as well as the Delaware State Police also are using UAS technology as are DelDOT, the Delaware Emergency Management Agency and the state fire service.
Using DEMA funding, Dover police bought two unmanned aircraft in 2016, paying about $12,500 for the aircraft, batteries, controllers, cameras and other equipment. | aerospace |

Although the government did not disclose if it had chosen Boeing as its partner for setting up an airline for the country, it stated that the meeting with the aircraft manufacturer was in furtherance of its resolve to establish “a new carrier soon.”
The Minister of State for Aviation, Hadi Sirika, who disclosed this in his most recent tweet, noted that the meeting between the Federal Government and the team from Boeing was held in his office in Abuja.
On his Twitter handle, @hadisirika, the minister stated that on Friday afternoon, “in my office, I met with the Boeing team in furtherance of our resolve to set up a new carrier soon.”
In November last year, the Federal Government announced that two major internationally renowned aircraft manufacturers, Airbus and Boeing, had indicated interest in Nigeria’s national carrier.
Sirika had stated that the manufacturers expressed willingness to discuss their interest with the government.
The minister had said, “Boeing said they can’t wait to discuss their proposal for the Nigerian national carrier. Will sign a MoU at the IWAF (ICAO World Aviation Forum).”
In another tweet, he stated, “Airbus signified interest in our national carrier and our MRO (Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul). Will discuss further during the upcoming ICAO forum.”
On several occasions, Sirika had announced the Federal Government’s determination to establish a national carrier as well as a facility for the MRO in order to reposition the country’s aviation sector.
Transaction advisers for the national carrier and the MRO had since been announced and unveiled by the Federal Government.
However, Sirika’s latest tweet on the new airline was greeted by criticisms and commendation by his followers. | aerospace |

Space mining is a popular science fiction trope. Precious metals are abundant in space, though. At the same time, the most valuable commodity in the outer limits is actually abundant on Earth.
Bloomberg ran a fascinating story Oct. 25 about the extraordinary valuations financiers are assigning to identified asteroids. One potato-shaped space rock, comprised largely of gold, platinum and iron, is currently valued at $700 quintillion. That’s a 7 with 20 zeros.
With a prize that big, capitalists are starting to look for a way to retrieve the goods. That’s when they hit on a bigger idea:
The real play is water, not metals.
Let me explain …
In 2010, the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) launched Hayabusa, the first probe expressly built to collect samples from an asteroid.
Although landing atop an asteroid was impressive, the mission was a bust. The $250 million probe only collected dust particles.
Retrieving anything in space is expensive, and that’s before tackling the difficulties of mining in a gravity-deficient environment. Additionally, bringing back several tons of platinum and gold would diminish the value of those metals here. Their value is a function of their rarity.
So, mining and retrieving metals from space would be expensive and devalue the assets even further.
A better business model would be to find, stake and mine the valuable space metals, then leave the minerals there as reserves. Prices on Earth would not be negatively impacted, while reserves could be financed.
The technical term for this practice is “in-situ resource utilization.” The idea is to use the resources where you find them.
But then you still have the issue of expense. As I’ve said, mining anything in space is inherently expensive.
So, how can a smart investor play this opportunity?
Well, it turns out that, in space, water is even more valuable than precious metals.
And not just for its life-sustaining properties. By separating water’s primary components, hydrogen and oxygen, it’s possible to make rocket propellant.
To be clear, space mining conglomerates are going to need an abundance of fuel to build colossal new mining businesses among the stars.
Producing fuel in space is the economical choice. After all, sending anything outside of the Earth’s atmosphere is still very expensive. NBC News notes that the cost to transport 1 kilogram of fuel into space still ranges from $10,000 to $20,000.
And there is water in space. Both the moon and Mars have polar ice caps. While currently in solid form, the ice can be harvested, thawed, and then the elements separated to create fuel … all in space. The moon is the logical place to start due to its relative proximity, gravitational pull and, of course, ice caps.
United Launch Alliance (ULA), a partnership between Boeing (BA) and Lockheed Martin (LMT), is already looking into sourcing fuel in space. In 2016, it announced an agreement to pay $3,000 per kilo of rocket propellant delivered to low Earth orbit, or within 2,000 miles of the Earth’s surface.
While this distance wouldn’t reach the moon, miners on the lunar surface would find refueling just above the atmosphere far cheaper than having supplies sent directly to them. This fuel would play a central role in a larger ULA pan to have 1,000 people living and working in space by 2045.
Since the ULA announcement, the entire world has been pulled into what the New York Times called a lunar stampede. China, Israel, India, the United States and Europe all have programs with a goal of getting back to the moon and ultimately mining water.
The entire concept is a virtuous circle.
Financiers see a trillion-dollar opportunity mining precious and other heavy metals in space.
To build out and maintain the mining operations, conglomerates will need an abundance of fuel. Producing propellant in space, given the transportation costs, is more cost-effective.
This reduces the cost of space mining further, making it even more attractive.
That the metals may not ever return to Earth and devalue their terrestrial cousins makes this more appealing, as Earth’s supply will escape devaluation while still being supported.
Sci-fi first broke through to reality when we started exploring space. And now the tremendous value hidden in the stars is drawing the biggest industry players.
Investors should get ready.

Skills January 16, 2023, Smardan, Romania.
“We came to Romania to secure, deter and strengthen our NATO allies,” Pfc said. Henry Krebs Parker, Scout (Air Assault) with the 1-26 Infantry Battalion, 2nd Brigade Combat Team, 101st Airborne Division.
With recent upgrades to the RQ-11B Raven small unmanned aerial vehicle system, known as the Raven, Krebs believes the task has become easier.
“Raven is a small drone, and it’s a drone that does a lot of different things,” Krebs said. “It can fly up to 10 kilometers, allowing you to take photos and even videos.”
The Raven system is the most widely deployed unmanned aerial vehicle system in the world, ideally suited for low-altitude intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance missions that rely on rapid deployment and precision maneuverability.
Even after receiving a high degree of training on this equipment, soldiers continue to deepen their knowledge with the help of the manufacturers themselves. A representative from the manufacturer was sent to further educate soldiers on the recent upgrades to the Raven.
“One of the civilian contractors from AeroVironment, the manufacturer of Raven, is here to help us learn more about its capabilities and show us how to use it more effectively, and what capabilities it has,” Krebs said. “Upgrading our technology will allow us to be more agile in the coming conflict.”
Technology is always changing. It is important for the Army to keep up with these changes.
Lightweight and easy to operate, the Raven can be carried in a backpack and can be manually launched for day and night observation. The Raven has an optional stabilized gimbaled payload and provides real-time color and infrared imagery to ground control and remote observation stations.
“Right now we’re practicing using the gimbaled payload,” Sgt. David Meyer, scout for 1-26 Infantry Battalion, 2nd Brigade Combat Team, 101st Airborne Division (Air Assault). “We’re working on an upcoming live fire where we’ll be using Raven to identify and pull grids to call fire on mechanized targets.”
Thanks to its advanced avionics, the Raven can be operated manually or programmed for autonomous navigation.
“For my unit, especially as a scout unit, what we’re doing is we’re going to use crows to scout forward positions so we can reduce the risk to soldiers,” Meyer said. “I don’t have to maneuver my team across the open field.”
The purpose of the Raven is to be used for reconnaissance missions, call-to-fire missions and to augment soldier capabilities – reducing risk to soldiers, reducing U.S. casualties and increasing the success of various missions. | aerospace |

Lindsey Wasson | Reuters
Boeing Co stated on Tuesday it handed over 56% fewer airplanes in May in contrast with a 12 months earlier, as deliveries of its top-selling 737 Max jet remained suspended following a lethal crash in March.
Complete deliveries fell to 30 planes, in contrast with 68 in 2018. Internet orders for the primary 5 months remained in unfavorable territory, with a complete of minus 125 web orders.
The corporate has been going through its worst ever disaster after an Ethiopian Airways 737 Max aircraft crashed, killing all 157 folks on board, within the second deadly accident involving the jet in simply 5 months.
That is the final order and supply replace from Boeing earlier than the Paris Airshow, which kicks off subsequent week. European rival Airbus SE and Boeing are battling for wide-body plane orders value nicely over $10 billion on the air present.
Boeing may even be beneath scrutiny on the airshow, the place the planemaker will face questions in regards to the 737 Max groundings, deliveries and orders.
The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration earlier this month disclosed a brand new downside involving Boeing’s grounded 737 Max, saying that greater than 300 of that troubled aircraft and the prior technology 737 could include improperly manufactured elements and that the company would require these elements to be shortly changed.
Boeing reiterated on Sunday it was working with world regulators to certify a software program replace for the jet in addition to associated coaching and schooling materials to securely return the aircraft to service.
International airways that had rushed to purchase the fuel-efficient, longer-range plane have since canceled flights and scrambled to cowl routes that had been beforehand flown by the Max.
Airbus delivered 81 plane in May, up 59% from final 12 months and 313 within the January-May interval, an increase of 40%.
Boeing shares had been down 1.3% at $348.99 in morning commerce. | aerospace |

We were promised "Mars By 1980," and believed it. But the budget wars of the 1970s and the public's gradual disinterest in manned spaceflight had NASA instead entering the 1980s with a recyclable launch vehicle with a destination no more ambitious than low Earth orbit.
By Saturday, Feb. 1, 2003, NASA's successes of the 1960s that had culminated in the Apollo 11 moon landing were relegated to distant memory, or even worse, dismissed as a hoax by those too young to remember or incapable of comprehending the scope of America's accomplishments.
That Saturday, I was at work running a printing press, with the radio in the background just as it had been in 1986 when I heard the news of the Challenger disaster. Shock followed. Regular programming was interrupted yet again to read a list of names of those presumed lost: Anderson, Brown, Chalwa, Clark, Husband, McCool, and Ramon.
Radio contact had been broken as STS-107 passed over Texas in its planned descent from orbit. As coverage continued, the nation learned that the spacecraft had disintegrated as it entered the atmosphere, scattering wreckage and the remains of the crew over sections of Texas, Louisiana, and Arkansas.
After examination of the debris and study of the electronic data, an investigation board determined that a chunk of insulation foam dislodged during launch had breached the integrity of Columbia's thermal protection system. Superheated gases generated during reentry penetrated the ship, rapidly incinerating the shuttle and its occupants.
The United States space program underwent another lengthy hiatus while an investigation was conducted. The shuttle program never quite rebounded from the tragedy, becoming as obsolete in its own way as did the offset printing press I was operating on that cold February day.
However, the future of manned spaceflight did not die with Columbia and her crew. It waits for a new generation to take up the challenge to go, to explore, to discover, and to dream of new worlds and a new future for mankind.

The WSJ is reporting, U.S. investigators suspect the missing Malaysia Airlines plane flew on for hours after contact was lost. The mystery continues as to what happened to this missing plane and where it is. The scope of the search continues to get larger and larger. Did the plane crash, was it a terror attack or was it hijacked? Signs are now starting to look like maybe it was hijacked and diverted to an undisclosed location. Did the pilot go rogue? And if so, for what reason. The mystery continues.
U.S. investigators suspect that Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 stayed in the air for up to four hours past the time it reached its last confirmed location, according to two people familiar with the details, raising the possibility that the plane could have flown on for hundreds of additional miles under conditions that remain murky.
The investigators believe the plane flew for a total of up to five hours, according to these people, based on analysis of signals sent by the Boeing 777′s satellite-communication link designed to automatically transmit the status of certain onboard systems to the ground.
Throughout the roughly four hours after the jet dropped from civilian radar screens, these people said, the link operated in a kind of standby mode and sought to establish contact with a satellite or satellites. These transmissions did not include data, they said, but the periodic contacts indicate to investigators that the plane was still intact and believed to be flying.
U.S. counterterrorism officials are pursuing the possibility that a pilot or someone else on board the plane may have diverted it toward an undisclosed location after intentionally turning off the jetliner’s transponders to avoid radar detection, according to one person tracking the probe.
Video Hat Tip – The Gateway Pundit
Officials Identify Plane Passenger Who Used Stolen Passport … ‘Identity of One of the Two Suspects has Been Confirmed, He is not a Malaysian’
There is so little news as to where Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 is and what happened to the missing plane that has seemed to have all but disappeared.
However, one of the few pieces of information that came out early into the airliner investigation was the disturbing news that two individuals aboard the plane had boarded it with stolen passports. In a post-911 world, how is something so simple to check on happen? Interpol is now not only reviewing those individuals with the stolen passports, they are probing more suspect passports from individuals used to board the plane.
Authorities later confirmed the two men – Austrian Christian Kozel and Italian Luigi Maraldi – were not on the plane, and their passports had been stolen in Thailand within the last two years.
An Interpol spokeswoman said a check of all documents used to board the plane had revealed more “suspect passports” that were being further investigated.
She was unable to give further information on the number of documents or the country they related to.
ABC News 3 WEAR is now reporting that that Malaysia officials state, the identity of one of the two suspects has been confirmed. Malaysia’s Inspector General of Police said, that the identity of one of the two suspects has been confirmed, “He is not a Malaysian, but I cannot divulge which country he is from yet.”
Two suspects on Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 who used stolen passports had no record of entering Malaysia legally, officials say.
Malaysia’s Inspector General of Police, Tan Sri Khalid Abu Bakar, said Monday that the identity of one of the two suspects has been confirmed.
“He is not a Malaysian, but I cannot divulge which country he is from yet,” he said.
Two passengers managed to board the ill-fated aircraft using passports reported stolen in Thailand in recent years, booking their tickets at the same time. The passports belonged to Italian and Austrian residents.
Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 Still Missing: New Leads Explored in Plane Disappearance … Possibility Plane Turned Around and Went Down in the Andaman Sea, near Thailand’s Border (Update: Door of Malaysia Flight MH370 Possibly Found)
Amazingly, an entire 777 plane and all aboard are still missing without a trace …
The search continues for missing Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 that seems to have just vanished. Two hours after the Boeing 777 departed from Kuala Lumpur and was scheduled to land in Beijing, the plane disappeared from radar. The searches so far have yet to find any signs of the missing airline. Malaysian military officials said at a news conference on Sunday that the flight may have changed course and turned back toward Kuala Lumpur. However, the pilot appears to have given no signal to flight control that he was turning around attributing the change of course to indications from radar data. A mystery indeed. Terrorism is still not being ruled out. Sadly, Malaysian Airlines ‘fear the worst’ as missing plane mystery deepens.
Thailand’s navy is shifting its focus in the search for Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 away from the Gulf of Thailand and the South China Sea, Thai Navy Rear Adm. Karn Dee-ubon told CNN on Sunday.The shift came at the request of the Malaysians who are looking into possibilities the plane turned around and possibly went down in the Andaman Sea, near Thailand’s border, Karn said.
Some are comparing the disappearance of Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 to the Air France flight, an Airbus A330, from Rio de Janeiro to Paris that crashed in the Atlantic midway through the flight without sending a distress signal. In that incident, all 228 aboard were killed.
A total of nine nations have so far joined the multinational efforts in search for a Malaysian Airlines jetliner that went missing Saturday morning on its way to Beijing from Kuala Lumpur with 239 people on board.
Over 40 hours after Flight MH370, a Boeing 777-200ER carrying 227 passengers and 12 crew, vanished over the South China Sea, Thai navy on Sunday night sent a vessel to help find the missing plane, Thai Prime Minister’s Secretary General Suranand Vejjajiva said.
Earlier in the day, Australia announced its air force will send two P-3C aircraft to join the hunt for the missing aircraft.
Currently, a total of 34 aircraft and 40 ships are in hunt for the missing plane, with which the contact was lost along with radar signal at 1:20 a.m. local time on Saturday when it was flying over the Ho Chi Minh air traffic control area in Vietnam, said Director General of Malaysian Department of Civil Aviation Azharuddin Abdul Rahman at a press conference Sunday evening.
Among them are those sent by Malaysia, Singapore, the Philippines, Vietnam and China.
Officials investigating the disappearance of a Malaysian airliner with 239 people on board are narrowing the focus of their inquiries on the possibility that it disintegrated in mid-flight, a senior source said on Sunday.
Malaysia Airlines flight 370 vanished after climbing to a cruising altitude of 35,000 feet between Kuala Lumpur and Beijing in the early hours of Saturday, but search teams have still not been able to make any confirmed discovery of wreckage in seas beneath the plane’s flight path almost 48 hours after it took off.
“The fact that we are unable to find any debris so far appears to indicate that the aircraft is likely to have disintegrated at around 35,000 feet,” said the source, who is involved in the investigations in Malaysia.
Using a system that looks for flashes around the world, the Pentagon reviewed preliminary surveillance data from the area where the plane disappeared and saw no evidence of an explosion, said an American government official who spoke on the condition of anonymity because the subject matter was classified. A team of aviation experts led by the National Transportation Safety Board was on its way to the area.
UPDATE IV: Door of Malaysia Flight MH370 Possibly Found.
Vietnamese authorities searching waters for the missing Malaysia Airlines Boeing 777 jetliner spotted an object on Sunday that they suspected was one of the plane’s doors, as international intelligence agencies joined the investigation into two passengers who boarded the aircraft with stolen passports.
Vietnamese searchers looking for a missing Malaysian Airline Boeing Co. 777-200 said they found a suspected window or door fragment as efforts to learn the plane’s fate extended to scrutiny of security camera images of two passengers using stolen passports.
Le Van Minh, a Vietnamese coast guard commander, said in a telephone interview today that the fragment is suspected to be part of a plane’s emergency door or window, and that rough seas and darkness were preventing crews from retrieving it. Ships are still searching the area for the piece, which was spotted by helicopter 90 kilometers (56 miles) south of Vietnam’s Tho Chu Island, Minh said.
UPDATE VI: ‘Yellow Object’ Spotted in Sea Wasn’t Life Raft.
Helicopters were scrambled on Monday to a floating “yellow object” that rescue teams believed could be a life raft from the missing Malaysian Airlines plane – but it turned out to be a false alarm.
Pham Quy Tieu, Vietnam’s vice transport minister and deputy head of the its rescue committee, said that a search plane had initially been unable to get close enough to determine what it was.
However, officials later said it was a “moss-covered cap of a cable reel.”
UPDATE VII: ABC News reporting that Oil Slick Samples, Debris Not Connected to Missing Jetliner.
Clues in the disappearance of Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 remain elusive, with authorities unable to connect debris or oil slick samples to the missing jetliner.
An orange object spotted this morning — originally thought to be a life raft — had nothing to do with the plane wreckage, Vietnam’s National Committee for Search and Rescue told ABC News. The item turned out to be an orange circular side cover of an industrial cable reel. Reports of a different suspicious floating object emerged Sunday, but that object was later ruled out as being connected to the missing jet by Vietnam and Malaysian authorities.
Additionally, oil slick samples found about 100 nautical miles from Malaysia’s east coast of Kelantan, just south of the point of last contact, turned out to have no connection to the missing plane after analysis by Malaysian authorities.

The plane last had contact with air traffic controllers two hours after it took off 120 nautical miles off the east coast of the Malaysian town of Kota Bharu, the airline said on Saturday
Vietnamese air force planes on Saturday spotted two large oil slicks close to where a Malaysia Airlines Boeing 777 went missing earlier in the day, the first sign that the aircraft carrying 239 people had crashed.
The oil slicks were spotted late Saturday off the southern tip of Vietnam and were each between 6 miles and 9 miles long, the Vietnamese government said in a statement. There was no confirmation that the slicks were related to the missing plane, but the statement said they were consistent with the kinds that would be produced by the two fuel tanks of a crashed jetliner.
Malaysian officials investigating the disappearance of a Malaysia Airlines plane Saturday said they were not ruling out terrorism — or any other causes — as reports emerged that two Europeans listed on the passenger manifest were not aboard and may have had their passports stolen.
Malaysia’s director general of civil aviation told a news conference Saturday night that authorities had reviewed closed-circuit TV footage of passengers and their luggage and hadn’t seen anything of concern. But Prime Minister Najib Razak cautioned that it was “too early” to come to any conclusions, and other officials said nothing was being ruled out of consideration at this point.
CNN VIDEO – Odd to lose contact while cruising
UPDATE III: Full manifest published online by the Malaysia airline listed the American passengers aboard Flight MH370 as 51 year old Philip Wood, 4 year old Nicole Meng, and 2 year old Yan Zhang.
CNN VIDEO – Plane loses contact with airline, Tim Tilman, Aviation Expert … This Sounds Bad.
A passenger on the missing Malaysia Airlines flight was traveling with a stolen Austrian passport, Austria’s Foreign Ministry said Saturday.
A 30-year Austrian whose name was on the passenger list for the flight wasn’t on board. His passport was stolen in Thailand in 2012, a ministry spokesman said, confirming a report in German newspaper Die Welt.
The airline contacted the Austrian embassy in Kuala Lumpur about the one Austrian listed as a passenger, but an embassy check showed the man’s passport as stolen. The man is currently in Austria.
From NBC News, Stolen Passports Prompt Terror Concerns in Missing Jet, Officials Say
A terrorism analysts stated, “It is unusual for one person to board a plane with a stolen passport and very rare for two to do it.”
U.S. officials told NBC News on Saturday they are investigating terrorism concerns after two people listed as passengers on the missing Malaysia Airlines jet turned out not to be on the plane and had reported their passports stolen.
The officials said that they had found no clear link to terrorism, and that there are other criminal reasons, for example drug smuggling, that stolen passports might be used to board a plane.
But the revelations, hours after the jet disappeared over the South China Sea without sending a distress signal, significantly changed how U.S. officials looked at the disaster. U.S. officials said they were checking into passenger manifests and going back through intelligence.
“We are aware of the reporting on the two stolen passports,” one senior official said. “We have not determined a nexus to terrorism yet, although it’s still very early, and that’s by no means definitive.”
- 12:41 a.m. – The Boeing 777-200, carrying 227 passengers from 14 countries along with 12 crew members, takes off from Kuala Lumpur.
- 2:40 a.m. – Air traffic control in Subang, a suburb of Kuala Lumpur, loses contact with the plane about two hours after takeoff. According to the Vietnamese military officials, the plane was just about to enter Vietnam’s airspace when its communications systems went silent.
- 6:30 a.m. Saturday – The flight is scheduled to land in Beijing.
- 7:24 a.m. – Malaysia Airlines announces it had lost contact five hours earlier with the flight.
- 11:14 a.m. — Malaysia Airlines holds a news conference confirming the loss of contact with its aircraft.
UPDATE VI: Passenger list adds to questions – Two men whose names appear on the Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 manifest had reported their passports stolen.
Uncertainly over the fate of missing Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 was further compounded Saturday by reports that two men whose names matched those on the passenger manifest had reported their passports stolen.
Malaysian authorities apparently did not check the stolen documents on an international law enforcement agency database, CNN has learned.
After the airline released a manifest of the 239 people on the plane, Austria denied that one of its citizens was on the flight as the list had stated. The Austrian citizen was safe and sound, and his passport had been stolen two years ago, Austrian Foreign Ministry spokesman Martin Weiss said.
Similarly, Italy’s foreign ministry confirmed that no Italians were on the flight, even though an Italian was listed on the manifest. Malaysian officials said they were aware of reports that the Italian’s passport was also stolen but had not confirmed it.
The debris spotted by a Singapore search team about 100km south-southwest of Vietnam’s Tho Chu island was not that of the missing Malaysia Airlines (MAS) flight MH370, said Malaysia’s Department of Civil Aviation (DCA) director-general Azharuddin Abdul Rahman.
Azharuddin however, said that though oil spills were found but there has been no confirmation yet.
“There was oil spill found but we are in the verification process now as to whether the oil spill came from the missing aircraft. However, we have not received a report yet,” he said during the press conference in Sepang on Sunday.
Search Continues for Missing Plane in Idaho … Those Aboard: Dale Smith and his Family, son Daniel Smith, Wife Sheree, Daughter Amber Smith & her fiance Jonathon Norton
The search continues for the missing Beech Bonanza airplane that took off Sunday, December 1, 2013, from Baker City, OR, where his family had been spending the Thanksgiving holiday, en route to Butte, MT. However, the plane disappeared over Idaho’s vast wilderness. The pilot, Dale Smith, had reported engine problems and asked air traffic controllers for coordinates to land at a nearby back-country country landing strip. Then, controllers then lost radio and radar communication with the plane. Those on board the plane have been identified as Smith’s son Daniel Smith and his wife, Sheree, along with Dale Smith’s daughter, Amber Smith and her fiance Jonathon Norton.
Authorities have finished their second day of searching for a small plane and five passengers that disappeared two days ago in the mountains of central Idaho.
Crews on the ground along with National Guard helicopters and airplanes have been scanning the remote backcountry for a Beech Bonanza piloted by Dale Smith, a 51-year-old software executive from San Jose, Calif.
Smith took off Sunday from Baker City, Ore., where his family had been spending the Thanksgiving holiday, en route to Butte, Mont. But while flying over Idaho’s vast wilderness, Smith reported engine trouble and asked air traffic controllers for coordinates to a backcountry landing strip near the tiny town of Yellow Pine, about 150 miles northeast of Boise and along the border of the Frank Church-River of No Return Wilderness. Controllers then lost radio and radar communication with the plane.
Authorities identified the others on board as Smith’s son Daniel Smith and his wife, Sheree, along with Dale Smith’s daughter, Amber Smith and her fiance Jonathon Norton.
The search for a plane that was carrying a software company president and members of his family when it disappeared from radar over Idaho was set to resume Wednesday morning after would-be rescuers were forced to suspend their efforts because of nightfall, authorities said.
Search and rescue teams detected a weak signal from an emergency locator transmitter that allowed authorities to narrow the search to the area south of Johnson Creek, near Yellow Pine, where the plane is believed to have gone down.
“We’ve done a ping on the cell phones, and we’ve narrowed it down to a 4- or 5-square-mile area that we’re searching right now,” Valley County Sheriff’s Office Lt. Dan Smith told CNN affiliate KGO.
Search & Rescue Underway for 4 Individuals of Learjet 35 that Crashed into the Ocean off Fort Lauderdale, FL Beach Tuesday Night (Update: 2 Dead, 2 Missing)
According to Flightaware, a Mexican-registered Learjet 35 took off from the airport in Fort Lauderdale, FL on Tuesday; however, crashed soon after in the Atlantic Ocean about 3 miles from the coast. The FAA said that the jet went down about four miles off the coast. The Learjet had a tail identification of XAUSD. The jet was a medical flight was bound for Cozumel, Mexico after having dropped off a patient. There were four people on board, including 2 pilots, a doctor and a nurse. As per CNN, the two medical staff members worked for Air Evac International and the pilots worked for a chartered company.
According to their website, at AirEvac International, our aircraft are configured as airborne intensive care units specifically for air ambulance transports. AirEvac International provides the highest level of medical transportation care by combining the best medical resources and efficient response times. Our services include:
•Air Ambulance Service
•Commercial Medical Escorts
•Specialty Care Teams
Shortly after take off there was a distress call (audio) from the jet.
A distress call from one of the pilots came just moments after takeoff.
“We have an engine failure,” the pilot said.
An air traffic controller asked him to turn left and keep a certain altitude.
“Not possible,” the pilot responded. “We’re going to do a 180, and we’re going to land.”
But seconds later, he said: “Mayday, mayday, mayday.”
The Coast Gard began an immediate search. A helicopter and 9 vessels were sent out by the Coast Guard and other agencies. More than 50 people are involved in the search. They soon found a debris field.

The U.S Coast Guard said that two of these people are confirmed dead while the search for the other two continues.
The pilots reported mechanical problems after takeoff. The plane crashed after taking off from the the Ft. Lauderdale-Hollywood Intl. Airport.
The jet went down about three miles off the coast.
A helicopter and 9 vessels were sent out by the Coast Guard and other agencies. More than 50 people
MIAMI — Two people are confirmed dead as Coast Guard and partner agency rescue crews continue to search for possible survivors of a plane crash approximately three miles off the coast of Fort Lauderdale, Fla.
At approximately 8:15 p.m. Tuesday, watchstanders at the Coast Guard 7th District command center received a report of a possible plane crash off the Coast of Fort Lauderdale from the Federal Aviation Administration. Search and rescue crews from Coast Guard Station Fort Lauderdale and Coast Guard Air Station Miami were immediately dispatched to begin the search for the aircraft and possible survivors. The Coast Guard Cutter Paul Clark and a Fort Lauderdale Fire Rescue boatcrew were also launched to assist.
The flight carried two pilots and medical personnel, including a physician tentatively identified by friends as Fernando Senties Nieto and a nurse, Mariana González Isunza, both of Cozumel. Senties’ Facebook page began to fill with condolences early Wednesday.
Mexican media identified the others onboard as pilots José Hiram Galván de la O and Josué Buendía Moreno.
It’s unclear if the pilots were employed by the plane’s last registered owner, AirEvac International. A company spokesman could not be immediately reached for comment.
Dr. Perry Inhofe, the son of Senator Jim Inhofe (R-OK), has died in a plane crash near Owasso, Oklahoma. Perry Inhofe was an orthopedic surgeon in Tulsa. Our prayers and condolences go out to the Inhofe family. The plane crashed around 4 p.m. in a wooded area about 5 miles north of the Tulsa airport, shortly after the pilot of the plane issued an alert at 3:45 p.m. Sunday asking for immediate assistance. The plane that crashed Sunday is a Mitsubishi MU-2B-25 twin turboprop that was built in 1974 according to the FAA.
A source close to Sen. Jim Inhofe has confirmed that his son, Dr. Perry Inhofe, was on board a plane that crashed near Owasso, Okla. on Sunday. Perry Inhofe was killed in the crash.
The NTSB is holding a news conference at 5 p.m. KOCO will air the news conference on KOCO News at 5 and will livestream the news conference on KOCO.com.

Two People Missing After UPS Cargo Plane Crashes Near Birmingham-Shuttlesworth International Airport in Alabama (Update: 2 Crew Memebers Confirmed Dead)
A UPS cargo plane, A-300 Airbus, tail number N155UP, crashed around 5:00 am just outside the fence of the Birmingham-Shuttlesworth International Airport in Alabama. The flight originated from Louisville, Ky. At this point there has been no word as to the condition of the two crew members aboard, they are considered missing; however, this does not look good.
A UPS cargo plane with at least two people aboard crashed early Wednesday just outside the fence of the Birmingham, Ala., airport, and FAA official confirmed.
A UPS spokesman confirmed to MyFoxAL.com that the plane was a UPS A-300 Airbus, tail number N155UP, with two crew members aboard. The flight originated in Louisville, Ky., and crashed upon its approach in Birmingham. UPS said the crew has not been located.
“Our thoughts and prayers are with the crew,” the spokesman said.
Federal Aviation Administration spokeswoman Kathleen Bergen told The Associated Press that the plane crashed before dawn Wednesday.
UPDATE I: Two crew members dead.
Sadly, the two crew members aboard the cargo plane that crashed this morning at dawn are considered dead. The Mayor’s office have confirmed that the pilot and co-pilot have been found at the crash scene dead.
The Birmingham Mayor’s Office has confirmed that the pilot and copilot of the plane have died in the crash. We’ll continue to update this story as information is confirmed.
Pranked Fox Affiliate KTVU TV Station Reports “Sum Ting Wong “Ho Lee Fuk,” “Wi Tu Lo” As Asiana Llight 214 Crash Pilots
Are you kidding me that some one actually fell for this prank? And the media criticized blogs for not fact checking and editing … LOL!!!
As reported by Deadspin, San Francisco Bay area Fox affiliate KTVU learned the names of the flight crew of Asiana flight 214, which crashed last Saturday at San Francisco International Airport, killing two, now three. They went on air and stated the four named of the pilots: “Sum Ting Wong,” “Wi Tu Lo,” “Ho Lee Fuk,” and “Bang Ding Ow”. HUH? What made it even worse was the newscaster’s serious reading of the names that puts it over the top. Good grief. I am sorry, but how new a news station not get what was a 4th grade telephone prank when I was a kid? How could no one have realized that this was an obvious spoof?
How long will it take for some one to call KTVU and ask whether their refrigerator is running?
KTVU offered an apology after they realized they had been had.
On Friday, July 12, during the KTVU Channel 2 Noon newscast, we misidentified the pilots in the Asiana Airlines crash.
We made several mistakes when we received this information. First, we never read the names out loud, phonetically sounding them out.
Then, during our phone call to the NTSB where the person confirmed the spellings of the names, we never asked that person to give us their position with the agency.
We heard this person verify the information without questioning who they were and then rushed the names on our noon newscast.
The NTSB said late Friday that an intern had confirmed to a California news station the fake names of the pilots aboard the crashed Asiana flight in San Francisco. NTSB Press Release on the incident:
The National Transportation Safety Board apologizes for inaccurate and offensive names that were mistakenly confirmed as those of the pilots of Asiana flight 214, which crashed at San Francisco International Airport on July 6.
Earlier today, in response to an inquiry from a media outlet, a summer intern acted outside the scope of his authority when he erroneously confirmed the names of the flight crew on the aircraft.
The NTSB does not release or confirm the names of crewmembers or people involved in transportation accidents to the media. We work hard to ensure that only appropriate factual information regarding an investigation is released and deeply regret today’s incident.
Appropriate actions will be taken to ensure that such a serious error is not repeated. | aerospace |

Why the coaxial dual-blade and gyro can make the RC helicopter flight more stable and smoothness?
- The coaxial RC helicopter has 2 sets of main rotor blades mounted one above the other. The main blades spin in opposite directions to each other, thus cancelling out each other's torque force. So, because there is no torque when both rotors are spinning at the same speed, the fuselage of the helicopter has no tendency to spin round in any particular direction. And that makes the RC helicopter while on hovering will be more stable
- Directional control is achieved by changing the speed of one of the rotors, in relation to the other. In doing so, a small amount of torque is then generated and that force will naturally cause the helicopter to yaw one way or another, hence changing direction
- The use of yaw control in RC helicopters is made easier by a gyro which is an electronic device that is connected between the receiver and the tail rotor control. The gyro senses any rotational movement of the helicopter that isn't result of a signal to the receiver, and it makes fine adjustments to the tail rotor speed or blade pitch to suit the torque force at that precise moment, hence dampening out any unwanted yaw. Gyros make these calculations and corrections at lightning speed, so much so that the pilot doesn't notice anything other that a stable helicopter
- Before you are enjoy the flight, the preflight adjustments will helps you reduces a lot of problem while your RC helicopter flying in the sky
- Always check all the controls to make sure they move in the correct direction and here is no mechanical binding or noise from the servos
Hovering is when the RC helicopter is floating in a stationary position in the air. Hovering is the fundamental maneuver to learn first. Here is the procedure to practice hovering
- (1): Make sure there are no spectators anywhere near the RC model helicopter. You, the pilot, should stand at least 10 meters (30 feet) behind and slightly to the side of the RC heli
- (2): Prior to lifting off, while the main rotor is spinning and the RC helicopter is on the ground, check the main rotor fore/aft and left/right cyclic to make sure the main rotor is tilting in the correct direction according to your cyclic command. Move the tail rotor control stick to make sure the RC helicopter nose will swing in the desired direction
- (3): Increase the throttle/collective to lift he model RC helicopter skids off the ground to no more than 10cm (4 inches). Initially, it will be very difficult to control the RC helicopter to prevent it from moving. For a beginner it will also be difficult to determine whether the RC helicopter is in trim or not. But with repeated practice close to the ground you will develop a feel for the controls. It is recommended to let a more experienced model helicopter pilot trim out your new RC helicopter before you attempt to learn to hover
It will take a few hours of hover practice with the helicopter skids at 10 to 20 cm (4-8 inches) off the ground in order to comfortably control the model
- (1): Do not try to lift the RC helicopter to more than 10 to 20 cm (4-8 inches) in the beginning because then the model may tip over readily when the beginner panics and an incorrect command is given. Once you can keep the model in one place, then it is time to slowly increase the height by a few centimeters (inches) each flight. Soon, you will be able to hover the RC helicopter confidently a few feet high. Beginners should always practice hovering close to the ground because in an emergency, throttle and collective can be reduced rapidly without causing a large drop or damage to the RC helicopter. If the RC helicopter is hovering beyond one meter (3 feet) altitude, always descend slowly. A panic drop can damage the helicopter
- (2): Always stand behind the RC model helicopter when learning how to hover. Then you can watch the nose of the RC helicopter. A left tail rotor command will yaw the RC helicopter nose to the left, and a right command will yaw to the right. Similarly, a left cyclic command will cause the RC helicopter to translate left. After you can comfortably hover the model at one meter high without drifting, then start practice hovering while standing to either side of the model. Eventually, you need to be comfortable at hover the RC helicopter from any orientation, including with the RC helicopter nose pointing at you. This is challenging because control directions are reversed
- (3): Once you can confidently hover a RC model helicopter at any altitude and at any orientation, then congratulate yourself because you have mastered 80% of the fundamental control movements of a helicopter
Foward Flight Training:
- (1): Start practicing moving the helicopter laterally to the left or right slowly from a 1.5 meter (60inches) high hover. This is the beginning exercise of translational flight
- (2): After a few hours of practicing step (1) and you are comfortable with translational movement, start using some tail rotor control so the helicopter nose will point slightly to the left or right as you fly it to the left or right. Eventually, this pattern will become a figure-eight in front of you. Please visualize these movements in your mind
- Buy a Flight Simulator such as the Real Flight G2 simulator. A Pentium IV PC is more than enough. Flight simulators allow you the luxury of crashing without the danger and expense
- Use training landing gears to enlarge your helicopter footprint, making it easier to make safe landings
- Have an experienced helicopter flyer teach you how! Look for a local club or flying field and talk to the experts. Or ask your local hobby shop owner... the good ones will really help you out
- Recharge it again before the power is off. Otherwise, it would be damaged dramatically, even resulting that you can never recharge it again
- Please do not touch, when the motor rotates in high speed and the battery is charging

Bought this item on11-03-2010
- Other Thoughts: I purchased this helicopter for my fiance for Christmas and he LOVES it! This helicopter in my opinion is very durable and worth every penny. It is advertised as an "indoor" helicopter but we have used it outside and if it isn't too windy, it works great. I read past reviews where people have said negative things about this product and I couldn't disagree with them more. We have slammed the helicopter into the wall many times, got it stuck and entagled in a palm tree (lol) and it still works like new. I would recommened this product to anyone and everyone, especially first timers.

- Other Thoughts: Three channel coax heli's are great for very beginners but after a day they are very boring. With 3 channels, all you can do is take off, go up down and rotate. Duel rotors and flybar make this extremely stable with very little to no trim. There is no forward or backward flight. so you cant control direction. I would never recommend buying any 3 channel as they are waste of money, to have fun and control you really should have at least have a 4 channel Heli. But for what this is: a 3 channel it does exactly what its supposed to do....... nothing. So I have to give it 5 stars.

ParaZero SafeAir FAQs
The Most Commonly Asked Questions
We have assembled a variety of Q&A topics below, and will be constantly adding to the collection.
Don't see your question below? Please feel freecontact us—every inquiry is important, and your question will help others!
Does the parachute eject automatically?
Yes, the ParaZero system is completely autonomous. The Parachute is triggered automatically using the SmartAir system (with its independent sensors and backup power), depending on a set of parameters. Automatic activation occurs in cases of free fall, breach of roll angle, or complete power loss. While the parameters can be modified by the user, we do not recommended varying from defaults. SafeAir can also be triggered manually by the DJI extension or a dedicated remote control.
How can we be sure the rotors won't tangle with the parachute wires?
The recovery system includes an autonomous Flight Termination System (FTS). When the SmartAir Emergency computer detects an emergency situation requiring parachute deployment, the system will shut down the power to the rotors before parachute deployment, thus preventing severe wrapping entanglement.
How much altitude loss occurs before the parachute will open?
From trigger, at ISA conditions, and no wind, it is on average 7 meters to full parachute open, depending on payload weight and atmospheric conditions.
Is there any indication that the system is ready to go before takeoff?
The ParaZero system includes a built-in self check mechanism that alerts the user in case the system is not operating prior to take off.
Do I need to send the drone to you for installation, or can I mount the recovery parachute system by myself?
The system can easily be installed by the user. The product comes with detailed instructions, and we also have an online tutorial video.
Does the parachute system require power?
The system has its own power for activation. It is initially charged by the drone’s batteries and requires very low energy, and thus does not affect the drone's power. The system automatically deploys if the drone's power runs out or fails.
What will be the expected impact energy based on total weight of the sensor and drone?
The impact energy is between 69-160 Jules depending on the payload.
Can ParaZero SafeAir systems be re-packed after deployment?
The SafeAir parachute system is a last resort system, such as airbags in cars. The system was designed to protect the drone, sensors and hopefully any structures or people involved on the ground. Thus, the system has to be examined, packed, and pass quality control by the manufacturer. After the system is deployed, it may be more cost and time effective to purchase another system or a "cartridge" from your authorized dealer. Repacking by the manufacturer is available as well.
How does the SafeAir system interfere with the aircraft GPS?
The system was designed not to affect the GPS in any manner.
What kind of sensors does the system have?
SmartAir has an onboard IMU with accelerometer, gyroscopes, and a barometer sensor.
What are the ParaZero advantages compared to other parachutes?
ParaZero systems include the “SmartAir” Auto Deployment Emergency Computer. It has several advantages:
1. Totally autonomous and independent operation – independent identification of breach of flight envelope (with independent sensors); independent flight termination; independent and automatic parachute deployment/activation.
2. Commercial aviation grade reliability – MTBCF of 10^-7
3. Includes an independent Flight Termination System (FTS). Stops the props, preventing parachute entanglement and protecting people from high RPM propellers. It does not have to be connected or integrated with the M-600 flight control system.
4. Independent power for parachute deployment activation.
5. "Plug & Play" installation.
How does one prevent system from deploying unintentionally?
The system has very high reliability as long as it is properly operated and maintained. The system includes Arm/Disarm capability (Arm only when airborne); operation safety pin; and a safety cover.
Can the systems be sent/taken on commercial flights?
The systems are DG Class 9 and are sent via FedEx an other carriers via air, globally. Please show your carrier the DG Class 9 certificate (which will supplied by ParaZero) when making flight arrangements.
Will a SafeAir system bring my aircraft down without damage?
Our tests have demonstrated that the orientation of the falling craft influences the outcome, and can result in minor damage, such as broken propellers, for example. The SafeAir recovery system vastly reduces the energy involved in an impact, thereby reducing potential damage.
For how long are ParaZero products warranted, and what does the warranty cover?
All ParaZero products have a one year manufacturer warranty, which covers manufacturer-related defects, errors or faults in the product. Please see detailed warranty information on the ParaZero website.
With this system, can I now fly over people?
No matter how safe your aircraft is, we never advise users to fly over people, but if regulations permit, SafeAir greatly reduces the risk involved. | aerospace |

When the Historic Flight Restoration Hangar opens in March 2010, the new aviation-themed attraction will focus on the most important aircraft produced between 1927 and 1957. Aviation enthusiasts can watch the fully restored planes take to the skies on scheduled fly dates and learn how engineers work to rebuild a number of other rare airplanes.
Among the planes is the B-25D Mitchell, an early 1940s bomber that returned to the U.S. in September 2009 after 22 years in Europe. Other planes in the collection include the P-51B Mustang, which saw action during World War II and the Korean War; Supermarine Spitfire, which served four Air Forces in its lifetime; Waco UPF-7 biplane; Grumman F8F Bearcat; and Canadair T-33 Silverstar. The planes are from the private collection of aviation enthusiast and pilot John T. Sessions.
In 2011, the Historic Flight Education Center will open, featuring an orientation theater, an expansive light-filled view of the main hangar with its collection of restored aircraft, and a lounge and meal service for up to 75 guests.
While at Paine Field -- located 30 minutes north of Seattle -- clients can tour the Future of Flight Aviation Center and go on the Boeing Tour; check out the Flying Heritage Collection; and visit the Museum of Flight Restoration Center. | aerospace |

(plan B)

Wed Oct 11 10:15:32 EDT 2017
My head hurts trying to read the Mic-E spec as written.
Also, I screwed up MPH and KTS in last email…
So here is what I am suggesting for the CSE/SPD field:
999 = 15,200 knots space station
998 = 1600 knots military mach 2.8
997 = 1200 knots Concorde
996 = 996 knots normal speeds down to 0
So using this same idea for Mic-E would result in
789 = 15,200 knots space station
788 = 1600 knots military mach 2.8
787 = 1200 knots Concorde
786 = 996 knots for consistency with above
785 = 785 knots normal speeds down to 0
Any objections? About the only one we will ever use is the orbital
velocity for the space station and for satellites, but I thought we may as
well include a few more.

*Subject:* APRS Speed Spec?
I thought that I had years ago declared that a speed of 999 would mean
Orbital Velocity 17,500 MPH and that 998 would mean something else for high
speed jets. Maybe mach 3?
Actually I may have defined three speeds greater than 999 for the last
Clearly we need orbital velocity for the Space station, etc…
And Mach 3 for our fighter pilots…
And something for the Concord (or its replacement)…
What about Elon Musk’s hypter tube? But I think it is under 999…
Anyway, is this written down anywhere?
And if not, then here is what I propose:
999 = 17500 MPH space station
998 = 1850 MPH military
997 = 1350 MPH concord
996 = 996 MPH

This launch wouldn’t have been SpaceX’s first mission to the ISS, but the return mission would’ve involved an unprecedented attempt at safely landing the rocket on a barge out at sea. Unfortunately, an issue with the “thrust vector control actuator” forced the mission to be placed on hold.
One minute before SpaceX’s Falcon 9 rocket was supposed to launch for a cargo resupply mission to the International Space Station this morning, SpaceX aborted the mission. The launch would have been its fifth mission to ISS, but its first attempt at landing a rocket on a barge out at sea. But because of an issue with a “thrust vector control actuator,” the launch and historic landing have now been delayed. The next attempt will be Friday morning at 5:09AM ET, NASA said, “pending resolution of the issue.” The launch was halted by the flight team because a thrust vector control actuator wasn’t functioning correctly. The actuator was central to the landing mission, and would have triggered an automatic abort if the team hadn’t stepping in to stop the launch. This was the second delay for SpaceX’s landing mission. In December, SpaceX delayed a launch prior to the actual attempt because of a problem with routine test-firing of the engine. | aerospace |

The way I see it, there are two necessary approached to any problem such as this for an author; the Plausible design considerations, which tell you what you can get away with without stretching credulity, and the Meta-Fiction considerations, which basically mean what does the plot that you've already got in mind just have to have in order to work? Now, being the author (of sorts) of Hard Science Fiction, I understand that the Plausible considerations must take precedence over the Meta-Fiction considerations. As an RPG Designer, I understand that there are certain conventions that must be followed in order to make a game playable. Hopefully, I can strike a happy medium between the two.
When deciding how to crew my rockets, way back last September when the Paladin first came out, I understood that as an RPG product the spacecraft had to have room for up to five people. This is the traditional baseline for PC parties in most game systems. I also understood that in order for people to actually get to play a game more than once a month, I needed to make the game playable for smaller groups and even solo players. In Hard SF this is not that
Problem one solved.
So, having decided that I need spacecraft to have a crew of 1-5 organics, It was time to start researching in the real world, so I would have a baseline from which to extrapolate. I first looked at how real space craft are currently crewed; The Space Shuttle, despite being 30 years old and on its last mission as a class of spacecraft, is the best place to start in the real world because it has the largest crew compliment; up to seven astronauts can be carried at a time. Even better, It can be crewed by as little as two, such as on STS-1. With a crew capacity within my Meta-Fictional filter, I could now look at what these people actually do.
The Space Shuttle has a core crew of three or four; Commander, Pilot, Mission Specialist and Payload Specialist. The Commander is the astronaut in charge (obviously) and also serves as the primary pilot. The Pilot is actually the Co-Pilot and also may deploy satellites and such. The Mission Specialist usually has specific duties related to whatever science is being performed on the Mission. The Payload Specialist, as well as being in charge of specific satellites as technical experts, may also be a military officer responsible for launching classified payloads into orbit under the title of USAF Manned Spaceflight Engineer.
Possible crew positions also include Educator Mission Specialist , Flight Engineer, International Mission Specialist and Spaceflight Participant. Details can be found here.
Now, most PCs in a game will not be conducting scientific experiments. For the Ships of the Black Desert, I used the above as inspiration to come up with the following crew positions:
- Flight Commander (FCOM): Not to be confused with "Flight" on IPVs carrying small spacecraft. This person is the Skipper, and maybe the Emergency Pilot as well. Use the Command Skill.
- Pilot: This is the primary pilot of the spacecraft, a job that involves incidental maneuvering, monitoring the flight computers, and guiding the spacecraft during ionization blackout. Use the Spacecraft Operation Skill.
- Flight Engineer (Booster/Chief/Drive): In charged of maintenance, electrical systems, propulsion, and the Fusion reactor, (Via robots) if any. Use the Engineering, Nuclear Engineering, Spacecraft Maintenance and/or the Telepresence Skills.
- Payload Officer (PLO): This person is in charge of all cargo, including proper weight distribution, and all weapons on a spacecraft, if any. Also operates robots often. Use the Gunnery and Telepresence Skills.
- Life-Support Officer (LSO): Even spacecraft fully operated by AI will have an LSO if they carry passengers, as a reassurance to their guests. In charge of maintaining all organic consumables, atmosphere, and associated systems, like the air-scrubbers and toilets. This is also the spacecraft's Medic. Use the Medicine and Spacecraft Maintenance Skills.
Incidently, anyone who thinks that the Mission Control model for a spacecraft crew isn't bad-ass enough for a work of fiction or a role-playing game is invited to watch the movie Apollo 13 as well as the videos from the FCRs at NASA during the Challenger and Colombia disasters.
This type of crew would be set up thusly: Three eight-hour Watches staffed by the Pilot, PLO and Chief in order. Neither the FCOM nor the LSO stand watches; the FCOM is too busy being in charge and the LSO is not qualified.
That's it for this post, RocketFans; return tomorrow for the final (maybe) installment of this series of articles, where we will discuss the staffing of a tactical command and control craft during space combat.

Lieutenant Colonel Jean G.R. Leroux, Directorate Air Requirements for the Canadian Armed Forces, spoke with Combat & Casualty Care regarding their recent procurement of an airworthy, specialized medical module that the Royal Canadian Air Force calls Aeromedical Bio-containment Evacuation System or ABES.
From Combat & Casualty Care, Summer 2021
C&CC: What drove the RCAF decision to procure the Aeromedical Bio-containment Evacuation System (ABES)?
Lt. Col. Leroux: While aeromedical evacuations remain the same at their core, the environment requiring them has been changing. We began to recognize this years ago during Ebola outbreaks. However, the scale of the current pandemic triggered the RCAF to act decisively to provide key aeromedical evacuation services safely in a COVID-19 environment. The need to protect aviators while supporting the government of Canada in the transport of critically injured or highly-contagious patients now and in the future resulted in the procurement of our first Aeromedical Bio-containment Evacuation System or ABES.
C&CC: Given the broad scope and changing environment of aeromedical evacuations, what requirements did you consider and ultimately land on when procuring ABES?
Lt. Col. Leroux: Our immediate objective – or function – was to enable the safe transportation and care of patients with highly-contagious diseases. However, we needed to do so while also reducing the risk of contamination of medical teams, aircrew, and aircraft. This highly specialized environment needed to be a hospital like setting that was efficiently familiar to our medical teams yet adaptable to changing conditions to ensure positive patient and aircrew outcomes. For example, it needed a high efficiency, hermetically sealed, and negatively pressurized ventilation system to prevent contagions from escaping. We also required specialized refrigerator units that could store and transport medical supplies including vaccines.
C&CC: In addition to medical needs, what were the operational and safety aircraft requirements?
Lt. Col. Leroux: In addition to medical functionality, very high on our requirements list was rapid flexibility and interoperability. We needed this aeromedical module to roll-on/roll-off quickly and easily with the ability to operate on the RCAF’s CC-130J Hercules and CC-177 Globemaster aircraft. And, it had to be airworthy. That is, aviation grade structural quality from the pallet up built to OEM standards without the need for waivers.
To ensure we established a comprehensive list of critical operational and safety requirements, we collaborated closely across a broad range of RCAF team members from both aircraft types. This included pilots, loadmasters, ground personnel, maintenance professionals and others. We did this early on to ensure ABES was not only comfortably and professionally effective on the inside to our specialized medical teams, but also built to meet the weight and balance, ground mobility and operational safety standards that our aircrew and ground crew teams have come to expect.
C&CC: Can you share how the RCAF is deploying ABES in its first 10 months of operation?
Lt. Col. Leroux: The RCAF Aeromedical Evacuation Flight, based at 8 Wing Trenton, Ontario, have been using it to execute medical evacuations of critically ill patients at home and internationally, and they’re always ready to support Canada’s international and domestic humanitarian missions
In April, they helped evacuate patients from north Africa using the ABES on board a CC-177. As a result of the critical and rapid care the patients received while on-board during transit to Canada, our crew was able to save lives. More recently in May, we supported the transport of COVID-19 patients from Manitoba to other provinces for specialized care using the ABES on board a CC-130J Hercules.
Our medical crews have deployed on missions with ABES in various configurations. For example, the system has the capability to simultaneously carry four critical care patients requiring medical beds or to transport 16 seated patients. Upon landing, the system can continue operating on the ground, since all that is required is an electrical power supply, such as a gas-powered generator. | aerospace |

While I still don't have any scoops, I do have an observation.
has published the usual compilation piece about those crazy conspiracy theorists and what they've said about this event. Some of these scenarios are indeed quite loopy and fully deserving of ridicule. (Keep an eye on conspiracist Angela Stalcup. She's fun.) At the end, readers who want saner theories are directed to read this NPR article
Problem: That article, published a couple of days ago, now seems almost as wrongheaded as the crap we've heard from the UFO buffs and Illuminati-spotters.
If there was a minor mechanical failure — or even something more serious like the shutdown of both of the plane's engines — the pilots likely would have had time to radio for help. The lack of a call "suggests something very sudden and very violent happened," said William Waldock, who teaches accident investigation at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University in Prescott, Ariz.
It initially appears that there was either an abrupt breakup of the plane or something that led it into a quick, steep dive. Some experts even suggested an act of terrorism or a pilot purposely crashing the jet.
"Either you had a catastrophic event that tore the airplane apart, or you had a criminal act," said Scott Hamilton, managing director of aviation consultancy Leeham Co. "It was so quick and they didn't radio."
Yeah, but investigators now believe that it wasn't
quick. A ping from the engine suggests that the jet flew for hours
after its final contact with controllers.
Malaysian authorities believe they have several "pings" from the airliner's service data system, known as ACARS, transmitted to satellites in the four to five hours after the last transponder signal, suggesting the plane flew to the Indian Ocean, a senior U.S. official told CNN. That information combined with known radar data and knowledge of fuel range leads officials to believe the plane may have made it to that ocean, which is in the opposite direction of the plane's original route.
"There is probably a significant likelihood" that the aircraft is now on the bottom of the Indian Ocean, the official said, citing information Malaysia has shared with the United States.
If it flew for hours, why no contact?
What a world. The non-wacky official explanations can be just as untenable as the wacko theories. | aerospace |

In that long list, laser peening, most importantly, improves safety. Lives are safer when planes don’t suffer midair failures from fatigue and cracking.
While we focus a lot on the engineering benefits of laser peening, we also celebrate the safety improvement results of laser peening.
We would like to celebrate the work of the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) and its work toward improving safety.
As of March 13, 2016, “Alaska Aircrash Investigations” , a TV series, airs on the Smithsonian Channel, documenting Aviation Safety Investigators (ASIs) as they investigate and analyze airplane crashes in Alaska. Through the process, we all learn how to avoid such disasters and make the world a safer place.
“The series also sets into sharp focus some of the safety challenges throughout the general aviation community that the NTSB has been concerned about for years and that have been a mainstay on the NTSB’s yearly Most Wanted List of safety improvements. In the 2016 Most Wanted List, we focus on loss of aircraft control by the pilot. Between 2008 and 2014, about 47 percent of fatal fixed-wing general aviation accidents in the U.S. involved pilots losing control of their airplane in flight, resulting in 1,210 fatalities throughout the United States. During the past 12 years air fatalities dropped by 57 percent in Alaska.”

This article was previously published on LaserWorld Focus
(May 1, 2015) Vision Engineering Solutions (Orlando, FL) has developed a new optical tracking system intended for monitoring satellites, missiles, drones, and a wide range of projectiles.
Ed Logue, chief executive officer of Vision Engineering, says the device was developed for the University of Central Florida (UCF) CREOL College of Optics and Photonics, which is also located in Orlando.
Ronald Phillips, chief scientist at the Townes Institute of Science and Technology Experimentation Facility at UCF, notes that the instrument was funded by a’s Office of Naval Research.
Logue said Vision Engineering’s optical tracking system can be manufactured more quickly and costs less than half of what government agencies pay for competitive instruments. The system consists of a tracking gimbal, optics (telescopes), sensors, a remote-control station, a generator (for remote site operations), and an enclosed trailer that houses the entire system for transportability.
The device accurately tracks moving objects and projectiles with both optics and specialized sensors, including infrared, and collects metric data and images for scientific and engineering analysis, says Vision Engineering.
The company’s founders have had a relationship with UCF for over 20 years, resulting in collaborations on numerous projects that have taken basic and applied research through to prototypes and fielded systems.
“The Optical Tracking System has many potential uses, including Department of Defense test ranges for missiles, unmanned aerial vehicles, commercial space operations, telecommunication, and NASA, which is considering deployment aboard the International Space Station,” says Logue.
Vision Engineering is a client company of the University of Central Florida’s Business Incubation Program located at Central Florida Research Park.

Matiur Rahman (February 21, 1945 in Dhaka - August 20, 1971) was a Flight Lieutenant in the Pakistan Air Force when the Liberation War broke out. His date of birth is sometimes given as 29 November 1941.
For his attempt to defect from the Pakistan Air Force, he was decorated with the Bir Sreshtho award by Bangladesh which is the highest honor given. The Bangladesh Air Force's Air Base at Jessore is also named after him.
He had received his primary education at Dhaka Collegiate School. Next he was admitted into PAF Public School, Sargodha in West Pakistan. After completing his twelfth class course there he entered Pakistan Air Force Academy. He was commissioned on 22 June, 1963 in the 36th GD(P) Course and was posted at Risalpur, West Pakistan. He successfully completed the Jet Conversion Course in Karachi before he was appointed a Jet Pilot in Peshawar.
On August 20, 1971 he attempted to hijack a T-33 trainer from Karachi, Pakistan to India in order to defect from the Pakistan Air Force and join the Liberation movement of Bangladesh. The T-33 aircraft was code-named 'Bluebird'. However, Matiur Rahman could not take the plane out of Pakistani territory. The plane crashed in Thatta, 40 kilometres near the Indian border because of the struggle to regain control of the plane by a Pakistani Air Force pilot, Rashid Minhas (a national hero of Pakistan). His body, which was found near the crash site, was buried at the military graveyard at Masroor Air Base.
Matiur Rahman's graveAfter over 30 years of negotiations, his body was finally returned to Bangladesh on June 24, 2006 for a ceremonial and highly symbolic reburial in 2006. He was buried at the Martyred Intellectuals Graveyard, in Mirpur, Dhaka, with full military honours.

FORT MEADE, Md. -- By 2028, the Army's Air and Missile Defense force must be agile, scalable, and capable of fighting in a series of complex, yet integrated attacks, according to the commanding general of Army Space and Missile Defense Command.
"In this strategic environment of great competition … [our adversaries] are working every day to develop and field air and missile defense capabilities with greater mobility, range, speed, and precision," said Lt. Gen. James Dickinson.
Moving forward, future formations at all levels could see a mix of AMD capabilities, creating a layered defense to support maneuver forces, Dickinson said Tuesday during an Association of the U.S. Army "Hot Topics" seminar on Air and Missile Defense.
"Air and missile defense … is one of the pillars on which the Army of 2028 will depend upon," he said. "The Army's maneuver forces of 2028 will need an AMD force with the right capabilities and capacity defending it."
ENABLING MULTI-DOMAIN OPS
Overall, improved AMD capabilities will enable the Army's ability to support multi-domain operations, said Gen. Robert Brown, commanding general of U.S. Army Pacific Command. Further, joint integration and allied support will be the key to AMD's success, he said.
"I would tell you today, what we're seeing is land enabling air and maritime because of the massive threat," Brown said.
"It's an evolutionary process," Brown said. "You're pairing together all the domains, maneuvering to a position of relative advantage in each domain, and working together to create those windows of opportunity … That gives you more options against an adversary."
The Army is purchasing a limited amount of Iron Dome equipment, Dickinson said. This is a short-range, anti-rocket system used by defense forces in Israel. This system will be an interim Indirect Fire Protection Capability, or IFPC, to help protect U.S. assets and personnel against a variety of airborne threats such as cruise missiles.
Two Iron Dome batteries will achieve initial operating capability no later than Fiscal Year 2020, he said.
"We will continue to assess our options on a long-term IFPC solution," he said, explaining that development will continue toward an enduring system to counter cruise missiles and other mid-range threats.
As the Army continues to develop its AMD capabilities, the Defense Department is working to create a more robust and persistent presence in space, Dickinson said.
"The Army is the largest military user of space, and that always surprises people," he said. "The typical brigade combat team … has at least 2,500 pieces of equipment that are space dependent and at least 250 satellite communications-enabled devices."
"That's almost staggering when you think about that and our ability to be able to operate in a degraded environment," he added.
The Army relies on the space domain for missile warning systems, command and control communications capabilities, and precision navigation and timing.
"Our missile defense Soldiers must be trained to recognize when they are in a denied, degraded and disrupted space operational environment," Dickinson added. "We have Soldiers that are training that every day in our combat training centers."

The International Space Station (ISS) is an engineering marvel. Conceived in 1998 and built piece by piece over a decade’s time, it was one of the biggest cross-country collaborative projects — involving the European Space Agency, the United States, Russia, Canada and Japan. It was like putting together a giant space jigsaw (the size of a football field) while floating away 250 miles above the earth’s surface. And since then it’s been the solitary human outpost in space — manned by hundreds of scientists and astronauts over the years.
It has helped us peer into the vast expanse. It’s the only place where you could experiment with microgravity — To try and study the effect of space on the human mind and body. In fact, over the last two decades, humans living and working aboard the orbiting outpost have conducted over 3,000 science experiments that included everything from fundamental physics, earth observation to biomedical studies — teaching us things that could help us back home and lessons for the future if we were ever to make the arduous journey to Mars and beyond.
Sadly, the historic station is fast approaching its expiry date. It is currently scheduled to retire in 2024. And although it could survive until 2030, there is no doubt that ISS is well and truly in its endgame now. But even with the ISS decommissioned, humans will still need a place to do research in space. And it can only be done by building one or more space stations that could be deemed worthy successors of the ISS. However, NASA and the US government don’t think this ‘replacement’ will come in the form of another mega multi-government collaboration project like the International Space Station.
Because, as great as the International Space Station has been, it hasn’t exactly been an inexpensive affair either. Contributing countries have spent roughly $150 billion of taxpayer’s money in a bid to keep the station afloat. Most of it coming from the US, with NASA alone spending around $3-$4 billion every year — nearly half of its precious human space flight budget. And with all the political bickering going around there are many who believe that this money will probably be better used elsewhere. And they actually have a point.
See, when the ISS was originally conceived, the world was a different place. Space ventures were largely the domain of government-funded agencies like NASA.
But the emergence of a strong private industry in the US has changed this notion radically. NASA has been more than willing to work with the likes of SpaceX, Blue Origin, and many others to further their agenda. They’ve been working with these people so that private ventures could do all the grunt work like building rockets, spacecraft and other stuff needed to propel us to Mars and beyond. And with all the extra time NASA has on its hands now, they’ve been content focusing on quality research and setting a long-term agenda.
So, it is increasingly becoming clear, that the mantle will probably be passed on to the private sector and this could be the dawn of commercial space stations.
On December 2nd, NASA awarded three private companies with contracts worth $400 million to develop and deploy commercial space stations in low earth orbit. Stations that NASA hopes would fill the big shoes of ISS.
Nanoracks went on to receive the largest contract worth $160 million for its “Starlab” project — a space station that will include an inflatable module, a docking node and a robotic arm.
Next, Blue Origin — will get some $130 million for building its station “Orbital Reef”, designed in collaboration with Boeing, Sierra Space and others.
The third contract — worth $125.6 million — will go to Northrop Grumman for building a space station, that still doesn’t have a cool name yet.
Funding and development of these individual space stations will continue till 2025. Following which NASA will officially certify the stations fit for human deployment and use. These space stations will then be open to government-funded astronauts, scientists but also to private citizens. Ultimately NASA will also be a paying customer purchasing in-orbit services for its research experiments and yeah, this could be the future of space stations worldwide.
In fact, key collaborators of the ISS already have already decided to part ways. Relations between Russia and the US are already frosty and it’s unlikely they’ll consider a joint collaboration anytime soon. Russia for instance is committed to building a space station of its own and has already decided to withdraw from the International Space Station by 2025. China is also working on a space station of its own and India (despite not being part of the ISS project) has also harboured ambitions of having a space station ready by 2030.
So yeah we could see a bunch of these space stations come up in Earth’s orbit in the next decade, opening a new chapter in Space exploration. | aerospace |

These sample Mission Plans cover various aspects of Terrain modeling in FreeFlyer. After exploring these Mission Plans, continue to the Terrain guide for more information.
Jump to a Mission Plan Description:
This Mission Plan demonstrates the use of the Terrain object for visibility analysis with GroundVehicle objects. Terrain data is used for an area of approximately 0.5 by 1.5 degrees. Visibility analysis is conducted for a drone, a van, a GroundStation (Peterson AFB), and a Spacecraft at GEO (AEHF2).
View of Terrain and contact between GroundVehicles
This Mission Plan demonstrates the use of the Terrain object for visibility analysis with GroundVehicle objects. Visibility analysis is conducted between two vehicles on the ground and a GPS constellation overhead.
Plots of GroundVehicle elevation using a refernce terrain and number of GPS satellites in contact
This Mission Plan demonstrates FreeFlyer's capability to be used by a deployed US Army squad to determine their coverage by space assets with respect to the surrounding terrain for upcoming ground operations. In this demonstration a notional ground asset is simulated using a set of GroundVehicle waypoints. After the predicted coverage is computed the information is presented to the user through a variety of formats, including a timeline and 3D and 2D views. This Mission Plan also plots the DoP values for the GroundVehicle over the course of the propagation.
The specific space assets analyzed are pulled from an external file containing a series of two line element sets (TLEs).
GroundVehicle Dillution of Precision calculations
This Mission Plan demonstrates the use of the Terrain object to compute viewsheds. A viewshed represents the set of points that are visible from an observer's location. In this example, the user can select from five different observers: two drone options (line or circular search) and three orbiting satellite options (LEO, GPS, and GEO).
The viewshed is recomputed after each propagation step. Cyan-colored points represent the instantaneous viewshed at the current epoch. Orange, yellow, and green points indicate points that have been seen one or more times by a sensor in the simulation. Red indicates points that have not been seen by a sensor.

The aircraft was officially handed over on 17 October during a ceremony attended by Minister of Defence Abdoulaye Idrissa Maïga at Air Base 101 at Bamako Senou International Airport. The ceremony was also attended by Chief of Staff Major General Gabriel Poudiougou and other officials.
Air Force Chief of Staff Souleymane Bamba said the helicopter will strengthen the Malian military’s capabilities and added that French personnel have been training Malian pilots and technicians.
The second helicopter will be delivered within two months’ time.
According to the Journal du Mali, the acquisition of the Super Pumas is ahead of the Netherlands withdrawing its seven helicopters with the United Nations mission (MINUSMA) next year. The publication added that the purchase is part of a larger capability improvement drive that will see the recruitment of 10 000 troops and the acquisition of additional equipment for the Air Force.
Bamba said expansion of the Air Force includes the repair of Balser BT-67 aircraft as well as helicopters. Mali is due to take delivery of a single C-295W transport aircraft from Airbus Defence and Space this month and will be acquiring Russian attack helicopters in 2017. The winglet-equipped C-295W was ordered in February this year.
The C295W will join Mali’s small fleet of fixed-wing aircraft, which includes nine Mikoyan MiG-21s (although most of these are believed to be unserviceable), one Alenia SF-260, one Britten-Norman BN-2 Islander, two Basler BT-67s and several An-2s, An-24s and An-26s.
In June last year Mali ordered six A-29 Super Tucano light attack and advanced training turboprops from Embraer. The aircraft will deployed for advanced training, border surveillance, and internal security missions, giving a major boost to the Mali Air Force’s combat fleet, which includes the MiG-21s and several Mi-24 attack helicopters.

On November 14, 2021, the first crash of Island Airways happened over Lake Michigan. Four people were killed and an 11-year-old girl survived after a small plane went down at a Beaver Island airport, west of Mackinaw City.
The twin-engine Britten-Norman commuter plane was flying from Charlevoix on Michigan’s lower peninsula when a Coast Guard helicopter received an emergency transmission. Though it’s tragic, officials say plane crashes like these are uncommon. The last crash in that region was in 2001, when a twin-engine turboprop plane crashed into trees about a mile from the airport. In that crash, a mother and 3 children survived.
Among U.S. air carriers, crashes are few and far between. Airlines for America reports on plane safety each year. Since 2010, there have been fewer than 40 reported crashes each year and very, very few fatalities. This chart shows the number of crashes and fatalities for U.S. airlines performing scheduled services worldwide from 2010-2020.
However, injuries related to aviation and plane accidents do happen, and often they’re not from a crash.
There are slip-and-fall, trip-and-fall, luggage handling, and other types of accidents that can result in injuries to passengers and airline employees.
What is general aviation?
General aviation (GA) includes all civilian flying except passenger airlines. There are more than 198,000 general aviation aircraft registered in the U.S., and there are nearly 500,000 certified pilots who fly GA aircraft.
GA aircraft include:
- Single engine
- Turbo prop
- Turbo jet
- Experimental (amateur-built)
- Light sport aircraft
Causes of aviation accidents
According to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), the top causes of fatal GA accidents are:
- Loss of control during a flight
- Controlled flight into terrain
- System component failure (powerplant)
- Fuel-related complications
- System component failure (non-powerplant)
- Unintended flight into instrument meteorological conditions (IMC)
- Midair collisions
- Low-altitude operations
However, the majority of aviation accidents and plane crashes are caused by 1 of 3 factors:
1. Pilot error
Although there are stringent standards for becoming a licensed pilot, even experienced pilots make mistakes.
Car accidents happen even though the vast majority of drivers have driven far more than 40 hours. Pilot inexperience is a huge factor in small plane accidents. Just like the driver of a car must know how to handle an icy patch on the road, a pilot must be skilled and experienced in dealing with an unexpected event that crops up. Storms, wind, and other elements can make for hazardous flying.
Likewise, some mechanical malfunctions can be successfully handled mid-flight. If the pilot knows the mechanics of the plane and can figure out how to properly and quickly respond to the problem, they might be able to salvage the flight without incident.
2. Bad weather
If there’s a severe storm, a large jetliner can usually climb to a higher altitude that allows it to soar over the storm. But a small plane is more susceptible to sudden bad weather conditions. A big wind gust or poor visibility could cause the plane to crash or spiral out of control.
Small plane pilots should be tuned in to weather conditions, both actual and anticipated, and modify their flight course accordingly. Pilots need to be trained to not only manage a weather event, but also to predict when it might happen.
3. Aircraft malfunction
Plane travel is a double-edged sword. Although a commercial flight is much safer than a small aircraft flight, if a crash were to occur you’re much more likely to survive if you’re on a small plane than a large jetliner.
A small plane could force a landing in a rural or unprepared area, whereas a commercial jetliner likely can’t, due to its size and speed of travel. A small plane has a better chance of managing to coast to an unexpected landing. Even so, an equipment malfunction can lead to tragedy. Even the most experienced pilot can only do so much if the plane’s equipment fails.
Types of aviation accidents
1. Plane crashes
Many aviation crashes involve small planes, but there are rare cases involving large commercial aircraft.
2. Non-crash injuries
Sometimes, a plane will encounter turbulence or come to a sudden stop on the runway, and even though the plane doesn’t crash, passengers could be jostled or bumped around in the cabin.
For example, you might get hurt by bumping your head against the window or a seat. There have also been minor injuries from tray tables that were not correctly secured, or there could even be injuries related to items falling out of overhead storage bins.
Passengers can also suffer injuries from slip and fall accidents on a flight. This could happen while walking to the bathroom, or while boarding or deplaning. The airline staff is responsible for cleaning up any spills or anything that would make the floor slippery in a timely manner, as well as clearing any debris that could cause a falling hazard.
It’s the flight crew’s responsibility to ensure that passengers are not injured from these types of situations, including injuries from food carts and other foreseeable hazards.
Another possible hazard we hear about is injuries from passenger behavior. There are instances when a passenger might become physically aggressive or have an altercation with either another passenger or with a member of the flight crew. The airline can’t control a passenger’s behavior, but liability will hinge on whether the airline took necessary precautions to foresee and prevent an injury.
3. Injuries to airline employees
An airline or airport employee who is injured while performing tasks related to their job could be eligible for workers’ compensation. Unlike railroad employees, who are eligible only for Federal Employers’ Liability Act (FELA) benefits, airline employees are eligible for the same workers’ comp benefits as any other worker in any industry.
The likelihood of being injured as an airline or airport employee depends on the nature of your job. A flight attendant or baggage handler is more likely than a ticket agent, for example, to strain their back while lifting heavy items.
A workers’ compensation claim does not require you to prove negligence. One of the benefits of workers’ compensation is that it is a no-fault system, which means the plaintiff (the injured worker) does not need to prove that anyone was negligent in order to recover benefits. They only need to prove that the injury happened at work.
Common carrier liability
If you’re in a plane crash or any aviation accident that involves a commercial airline, the company has a heightened duty of care to passengers because an airline is a “common carrier.” A common carrier is any mode of transportation that’s offered a service to the public and has a higher duty of care for safety — including buses, taxis, cruise ships, etc.
Whether or not the crash was a general aviation aircraft or a commercial plane, there are usually 2 possible causes of action for a plane crash: negligence and strict liability.
A flight crash investigation could take months. Regardless of whether lawsuits are filed, the FAA and the NTSB investigate all crashes because they want to know what went wrong in order to prevent future accidents.
In a plane crash, negligence could be attributed to the following parties:
- Grounds or flight crew or maintenance company
- Plane parts manufacturer
- Plane owner
- Federal government / air traffic controllers
The federal government employs air traffic controllers to direct and guide pilots through the airspace. If they make a mistake that results in a crash, the government could be the negligent party.
You might have a strict products liability claim if the reason for the accident was equipment or mechanical failure. If that happened, the defendant would be either the manufacturer of the plane itself or the manufacturer of one of the plane’s components.
In general, a defective product case could be for:
- Design defect. A design defect occurs when a properly made product is dangerous in the way it was designed, and a product doesn’t perform as expected when used in the manner in which it was intended.
- Marketing defect. This would involve a part or process that doesn’t have the correct warnings (failure to warn) or instructions.
- Manufacturing defect. If the product was safe as designed but it was manufactured improperly and the result didn’t reflect the intended design, then a manufacturing defect may be to blame.
What damages are available following a Wisconsin plane crash?
Plane crash (or injury) survivors can typically recover 3 types of damages:
- Economic damages include the monetary losses caused by the crash (medical expenses, lost wages, property damage).
- Non-economic damages include the non-monetary losses caused by the crash (pain and suffering, emotional distress, loss of consortium).
- Punitive damages are meant to punish the defendant and are only available in cases where the defendant acted willfully or recklessly.
If someone is killed in a plane crash, their surviving family members (the spouse and children, or parents and heirs if there is no spouse or children) can recover the following compensation by filing a wrongful death lawsuit:
- Funeral and burial expenses
- Medical bills incurred by the deceased before their death
- Property damage
- Loss of consortium damages
- Mental anguish suffered by the surviving family members

July 29, 2021
For the first time in recent history, the U.S. Air Force is going to take its aircraft out onto highways in the United States for an exercise. Four A-10C Warthog attack aircraft and a pair of C-146A Wolfhound special operations transports are due to take part in the road-landing drill, which is a part of the wider Exercise Northern Strike. As well as being a unique event in the United States, the upcoming highway deployment reflects the ever-increasing importance of dispersed operations for the U.S. military, including as part of the Air Force’s Agile Combat Employment (ACE) initiative.
The highway exercise will take place on August 5 and is being run by the Michigan Air National Guard. With the help of the Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT). A stretch of the Michigan State Highway M-32 near Alpena will be closed off for five hours, as the A-10s and C-146s touch down there.
Master Sgt. Scott Thompson
An A-10C from the 107th Fighter Squadron, Selfridge Air National Guard Base, Michigan, conducts close air support training at Grayling Aerial Gunnery Range in Waters, Michigan, in 2019.
“This is believed to be the first time in history that modern Air Force aircraft have intentionally landed on a civilian roadway on U.S. soil,” said U.S. Air Force Colonel James Rossi, Alpena Combat Readiness Training Center commander. “Our efforts are focused on our ability to train the warfighter in any environment across the continuum so our nation can compete, deter, and win today and tomorrow.”
The highway drills will be conducted by the Michigan Air National Guard’s 127th Wing, which flies A-10Cs from Selfridge Air National Guard Base. Also involved is the Air Force’s 355th Wing, which also operates A-10Cs, as well as combat search and rescue assets from Davis-Monthan Air Force Base, Arizona, Finally, there is participation by the Air Force Special Operations Command (AFSOC), from Duke Field, Florida, which is responsible for the C-146A, among other platforms.
This particular stretch of highway has been chosen due to its proximity to the Alpena Combat Readiness Training Center that’s one of the facilities being used for Northern Strike 21-2, described as “one of the National Guard’s largest joint, readiness producing exercises.” The maneuvers will be run out of Michigan’s National All-Domain Warfighting Center (NADWC), a huge training range where sea, land, air, space, and cyber capabilities can all be put to the test. Here, flying assets have around 17,000 square miles of special-use airspace in which to train.
For its part, the Michigan Air National Guard will also bring useful expertise to the highway drill, A-10s from the 127th Wing’s 107th Fighter Squadron having operated from austere locations in the past, among them various deployments from highways in Estonia, including as part of the multinational Saber Strike exercise in 2018.
Air National Guard/Tech. Sgt. Christopher Schepers
An A-10C assigned to the 104th Fighter Squadron, Maryland Air National Guard, takes off for a training mission during Saber Strike 15 from Ämari Air Base, Estonia, in 2015.
What’s more, the A-10 was designed to be able to undertake just these kinds of missions as part of its requirement to keep fighting on the Cold War-era battlefield. It’s optimized for short takeoffs and landings and its landing gear boasts low-pressure tires for operating from highways and even rougher non-standard surfaces.

Meet the ICON A-5.
“The wings fold and unfold in about 30 seconds,” says Kirk Hawkins, CEO of Icon Aircraft.
And it's ready for takeoff.
“You can fly with windows in or out,” says Hawkins.
“It’s highly simplified and very easy, and very safe,” says Hawkins.
It’s a two-seater amphibious aircraft, meaning it can land and take off on both land and water.
“The next 10 years of aviation will look a lot different than last 10 years,” says Hawkins.
His company started in California and chose Tampa as the first East Coast flight training center for the A-5. One of these planes costs around $250,000 and there’s already a wait list for the aircraft.
Which means if you want one, the estimated delivery date is 2020.
The company is hoping the popularity of the plane here takes flight and the future of flight will continue to take off.
You can get licensed to fly the aircraft at the training center located at Tampa's Peter O Knight airport.
You can also rent the aircraft until it is available to own. | aerospace |

For 12 seconds, Orville Wright soared over the skies of Kitty Hawk, North Carolina, nearing a total flight distance of 120 feet — a site that has been the Wright Brothers National Memorial since 1927. The two siblings were self-taught engineers had sought to solve “the flying problem” from a very young age after being inspired by French aviator Alphonse Pénaud, whose rubber-band-powered flying machine was the first aerodynamically stable flying model.

Here we’ll take a look at the pros and cons of flying one. We’ll also go over the most common models of FPV drones and explain the advantages of flying them. If you’re ready to take your first flight, read on! FPV drones are a great way to have fun, and the pros and cons of flying one are as follows:
Video-piloted unmanned aircraft
FPV (First-person-view) video-piloted unmanned aircraft operate by viewing the aerial environment through a stereoscopic camera on board the drone. Video from the aircraft is fed wirelessly to a monitor or goggles that the pilot wears. FPV drones are usually equipped with dual on-board cameras to provide the pilot with a truly stereoscopic view of the aerial surroundings.
The FAA has issued a notice of interpretation for the Special Rule for Model Aircraft, which exempts certain types of model airplanes from regulation. In its notice, the FAA has stated that FPV video goggles do not satisfy the definitional requirement of Sec. 336. It does not have the authority to impose new requirements for video-piloted unmanned aircraft. So, it is unclear what the FAA will do about this.
The US Air Force began planning for the use of uncrewed aircraft in 1959, as it was concerned about losing pilots in hostile territory. After the U-2 was shot down by the Soviet Union in 1960, the Air Force launched a highly classified UAV program under the code name “Red Wagon”. In August 1964, the Vietnam War flare-up in the Tonkin Gulf prompted the use of highly classified UAVs in the war. The UAVs included Lockheed D-21 and Ryan AQM-91 Firefly. By the end of the conflict, the UAVs were being used as an increasingly common tool in the war. Chinese government officials were even showing off photos of downed UAVs.
The use of FPV video-piloted unmanned aircraft requires strict adherence to safety regulations. Pilots must understand the rules for operation and should report any incidents of unsafe use of video-piloted unmanned aircraft to authorities. The FAA has published a safety checklist for FPV UAV operation. While the FAA has not yet enforced it, this checklist may help pilots learn more about proper flying practices.
First-person view (FPV) drones
If you’re looking for a fun way to film a trip or take aerial pictures, first-person view (FPV) drones may be the answer. These aerial vehicles are so popular these days that you can even get one that lets you fly from the perspective of the pilot. But they are not for everyone. These aircraft are difficult to fly alone, and you might have trouble controlling them if you don’t have experience flying drones.
The DJI FPV drone has several features and is equipped with goggles. They work just like VR goggles, but give you the view that a pilot would see. The goggles have a low-latency video feed, and the controller is easy to use. It also comes with a virtual flight application that helps you learn to fly your drone. It has a top speed of 140km/h, and can accelerate from zero to 100km/h in just two seconds.
While there are some differences between FPV and conventional drones, they share many applications. While conventional drones can be outfitted for FPV purposes, not all of them are suitable for drone racing. These drones are not intended for racing, but can still be used for aerial photography and videography. This article looks at the differences between the two. So, which is the better choice? Read on to learn more about FPV drones!
FPV drones are becoming mainstream thanks to the combined efforts of many companies. Drones are more affordable and easier to use than ever before, and FPV drones are now available at an affordable price. But if you’re not sure whether FPV drones are for you, check with your local regulations. If you want to fly a drone commercially, consider obtaining a license.
Pros and cons of flying an FPV drone
If you’ve always dreamed of piloting your own FPV drone, now is your chance to learn how to do it. A DJI FPV drone can go up to 97 mph and accelerate from 0-60 mph in two seconds! It comes with three flight modes: normal, sport, and manual. Flying in normal mode is similar to flying a camera drone, but it has a number of additional features. For example, its bottom-mounted cameras help the drone stay positioned and slow it down when it approaches obstacles.
A traditional FPV drone is prone to breaking, while a DJI FPV drone is constructed with a hard plastic shell. These drones are often tilted when flying, allowing the pilot to see what’s going on around them, and they provide stunning aerial views. However, they’re not a substitute for a professional photography drone. And if you’re just starting out, a cheaper drone might be more suitable.
FPV drones are very popular and have gained in popularity in recent years. They’ve grown from a small niche of specialized flyers into a thriving category of remotely operated aircraft, with different uses and applications. Learn more about FPV drones with this primer. It will teach you about the technology, what they are, and the equipment you’ll need to become an FPV drone pilot.
Unlike most other FPV drones, a DJI Spark weighs a little more than most. But its battery has a longer flight time than the average FPV drone, with some of the best models able to fly up to 20 minutes. This is still not as long as some of the bigger models, but the DJI Spark drone can fly for up to 30 minutes! You might need to use extra packs in strong winds, but most people can afford to buy extra batteries.
Common FPV drone models
FPV flying is possible with almost any model aircraft. The most common types are Multirotor and Fixed Wing. Early adopters converted model helicopters to FPV flying. Today’s drones can be as small as five grams, making them ideal for park flyers. Here are some common FPV drone models. Read on for more details. But before you choose a drone, make sure it meets your requirements.
Most FPV drones are compatible with the three most popular protocols: Frsky, Flysky, and DSMX. The DSMX protocol is limited to Spektrum products. Taranis models are inexpensive options. A Taranis QX7 is an excellent low-cost remote. For beginner drone pilots, the Hubsan H107D FPV Mini Quadcopter is an affordable option. Besides being a good training drone, it also has several advanced features.
FPV cameras are the heart of any drone system. A camera is essential for high-quality video. While most drone models come equipped with a camera with a standard-definition (SD) resolution, you should also consider how the camera’s imaging technology will affect the quality of your images. For example, a camera with a higher resolution should have a better image quality than a lower-resolution camera. A camera with 4K resolution is better for professional aerial photography.
Some manufacturers offer RTF or BNF kits that are already assembled. This makes it easier to get started, but there are also many more complex issues. Then again, many FPV pilots also use FPV goggles during their flights. They can also be used for framing or capturing video. However, most users will find these drones useful in framing. If you’re serious about FPV, you should read the instructions before buying.
FPV drone safety precautions
If you are new to the world of FPV drone flying, here are some basic safety precautions you should follow. You should always read the manual that came with your drone before taking off, and be sure to practice flying in an open unmanned area. It’s important to note that your first flight will most likely blow your quadcopter, so you should start with a smaller FPV drone, and always make sure the ducted model is under 2.5 inches. When flying, make sure that you understand how to unlock the drone, and remember where the switch is. Turn off the unlocking when you lose control. You should also check that all of the propeller nuts are tightly screwed in, and that the crossing machine is tight.
Generally, you should never disengage the drone until it is a few inches off the ground. Failure to do so can damage the drone. Similarly, you should consider the flight direction, as it differs from controlling a drone that faces you. It’s also important to keep in mind the size of the area, as well as the number of people present. In addition, always wear eye protection, and always make sure to work in pairs. When possible, have one pilot fly the drone, while the other serves as a visual observer.
Once you’ve mastered visual flight, you can move on to FPV mode. During manual flight, you can only feel the height of the drone through the camera, and this mode requires you to learn how to use the joystick. You should also keep a distance of about three meters from the flight area. Finally, make sure that the venue is open and free of obstacles. And remember to keep your distance when flying your FPV drone.

The concept of skydiving on the Moon has ignited curiosity and sparked imaginations for decades. While the idea may seem exhilarating, it presents a unique set of challenges and limitations due to the Moon’s distinct environment. This article aims to delve into the feasibility of skydiving on the Moon, exploring the physical and logistical factors that would impact such an endeavor.
### Key Differences Between Earth and Moon
Before examining the feasibility of skydiving on the Moon, it is essential to understand the fundamental differences between the Moon and Earth:
– Gravity: The Moon’s gravity is approximately one-sixth of Earth’s, meaning objects fall at a much slower rate. This would significantly extend the duration of a skydive, potentially leading to complications with oxygen supply and temperature regulation.
– Atmosphere: The Moon has no atmosphere, unlike Earth’s protective layer. This absence eliminates air resistance, which would otherwise slow down the fall and provide a cushion for landing.
– Temperature: The Moon’s surface temperature fluctuates drastically, ranging from -233°F (-150°C) in the shade to 253°F (123°C) in direct sunlight. These extreme temperatures create additional hazards for skydivers.
– Radiation: The Moon is exposed to significantly higher levels of radiation than Earth. Prolonged exposure to cosmic rays and solar radiation could pose health risks to skydivers.
### Challenges of Skydiving on the Moon
The lack of atmosphere and reduced gravity present several challenges for skydiving on the Moon:
– Extreme Velocity: Without air resistance, skydivers would reach extremely high speeds during their descent. Controlled landings would be difficult, increasing the risk of impact injuries.
– Lack of Oxygen: The absence of an atmosphere means skydivers would need to carry their own oxygen supply. The duration of the skydive would be limited by the amount of oxygen available.
– Extreme Temperature Fluctuations: Rapid temperature changes could lead to hypothermia or heatstroke. Skydivers would need protective suits to regulate their body temperature effectively.
– Landing Hazards: The Moon’s surface is covered with craters, boulders, and other obstacles. Landing safely would be challenging, requiring precise navigation and a suitable landing site.
### Logistical Considerations
Beyond the physical challenges, skydiving on the Moon would also involve significant logistical considerations:
– Spacecraft Design: A spacecraft would be required to transport the skydivers and equipment to the Moon’s surface. The spacecraft would need to be capable of landing on the Moon and providing a safe return to Earth.
– Communication: Maintaining communication with the skydivers during the dive and throughout their stay on the Moon would be crucial. Reliable communication systems would need to be established.
– Safety Protocols: Extensive safety protocols would need to be developed to minimize risks and ensure the safety of the skydivers. These protocols would cover emergency procedures, medical support, and contingency plans.
### Feasibility Conclusion
Based on the analysis presented in this article, skydiving on the Moon is currently considered highly impractical and dangerous. The lack of atmosphere, extreme temperatures, and high velocity descent pose severe challenges that would require significant technological advancements and risk mitigation strategies. While future developments may reduce these challenges, skydiving on the Moon remains a hypothetical concept at this time.
### Future Research and Development
Despite the current limitations, research and development continue to explore the potential of skydiving on the Moon:
– Advanced Space Suits: The development of protective suits capable of withstanding the extreme temperatures and radiation on the Moon would be a significant step towards making skydiving feasible.
– Controlled Descent Systems: Researchers are investigating innovative descent systems that could slow down the skydiver’s fall and provide a more controlled landing.
– Moon Base Infrastructure: The establishment of a permanent base on the Moon could facilitate skydiving activities by providing a staging area, medical support, and oxygen replenishment.
Skydiving on the Moon is a captivating concept that embodies both the allure of space exploration and the challenges of extreme environments. While the current limitations make such an endeavor impractical, ongoing research and technological advancements may eventually make it possible. As humanity continues to push the boundaries of space exploration, the possibility of skydiving on the Moon remains a tantalizing aspiration for future generations. | aerospace |

In order to become pilots, individuals must undergo flight training and earn several licenses and certificates. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) sets flight-hour and flight-testing guidelines for individuals looking to earn pilot licenses. However, the FAA does not impose a time limit on those looking to become pilots. The amount of time it takes someone to become a pilot varies on a wide variety of factors.
Background on Pilot Training
In order to become a professional pilot, a person must first earn three licenses: private, instrument and commercial. The private pilot license allows a person to fly for pleasure and is the first step in the pilot training process; the instrument rating allows him to fly by reference to the aircraft's equipment and is the second step in the flight training process; while the commercial license allows a pilot to fly for pay or hire.
Flight School Structure
The structure of the flight school at which a prospective pilot trains is a major factor in how long it takes her to complete professional pilot training. The FAA allows a person to train at either a Part 61 flight school or a Part 141 flight school. Part 61 schools are unstructured -- students work at their own paces and may take as little or as much time as they like to finish their training. In contrast, Part 141 schools are highly structured and have defined lesson plans and dates. Students training at Part 141 schools progress at the rate the flight school's training curriculum allows.
In addition to flight school structure, a multitude of other factors influence how long it takes individuals to become pilots. Flight schools may only conduct pilot training operations in reasonably good meteorological conditions, so weather is a key factor. A student training in a climate that experiences inclement weather will likely take longer to become a pilot than one in a mild, temperate climate. Personal determination is another factor, especially for Part 61 students. A person who flies every day will progress faster than one who flies once per week.
Although the amount of time it takes a person to become a pilot varies on a many factors, in some cases students can know how many years it will take them to finish training. For instance, university flight programs tie flight training into a two- or four-year degree program. A student training at a collegiate aviation program will likely earn her flight ratings in two or four years, depending on the degree program in which she is enrolled.

Random House, 1978 - 273 sidor
Preface: On August 20th and September 5th, 1977, two extraordinary spacecraft called Voyager were launched to the stars. After what promises to be a detailed and thoroughly dramatic exploration of the outer solar system from Jupiter to Uranus between 1979 and 1986, these space vehicles will slowly leave the solar systems - emissaries of the Earth to the realm of the stars. Affixed to each Voyager craft is a gold-coated copper phonograph record as a message to possible extra-terrestrial civilizations that might encounter the spacecraft in some distant space and time. Each record contains 118 photographs of our planet, ourselves and our civilization; almost 90 minutes of the world's greatest music; and evolutionary audio essay on "The Sounds of Earth"; and greetings in almost sixty human languages (and one whale language), including salutations from the President of the United States and the Secretary General of the United Nations. This book is an account, written by those chiefly responsible for the contents of the Voyager Record, of why we did it, how we selected the repertoire, and precisely what the record contains.

When making my seat selection, I've often wondered which is the safest place to sit on a plane? In the first few seats? The emergency exit aisle? What's your recommendation? - Lyn
Hi Lyn, you're not alone in trying to figure this one out. The question might seem like an easy one to answer, but isn't necessarily so. First, there is absolutely no way to know what situation might occur on any given day on any given flight.
For example, take the incident that happened on a Delta Air Lines flight bound for Atlanta from Pensacola in July of 1982. The MD 88 had a catastrophic engine failure on spool up for takeoff. Two jet engines are mounted on the tail of the fuselage, one engine per side.
According to the NTSB Report, identification : DCA 96MA068...”the airplane experienced an engine failure. Uncontained engine debris from the front hub (fan hub) of the #1 (left) engine penetrated the aft (rear) fuselage. Two passengers were killed and two others were seriously injured.”
In plain English-
The engine on the captain’s side came apart sending the fan blade, now acting like a rip saw, cutting through the rear fuselage. Unfortunately, there were folks sitting in those exact seats. Seats that on any other day would've been perfectly safe.
So, where is the safest part of the airplane?
Well, the flight data recorders are in the (rear) tail section of most aircraft for a good reason. This section usually survives most critical impacts with the sea or terra firma a.k.a. Mother Earth.
Long story short, I generally sit in the rear section of the airplane, aisle seat, but forward of any aft mounted engines. I never trust those suckers...

- Reaction score
Depends if you're expecting LOS, BLOS, etc.
Physical range/combat radius might mean you don't need to deploy from ships - an MQ-9 flew from Grand Forks ND to 78N, circled around a bit, and returned for a 25.5h mission last Sep. Granted its endurance will be lower with weapons, etc but still probably enough to deploy from the same bases as the associated MPA.
The MQ-25 Stingray expects to have their pilots on the carrier in OSINT articles. However, with BLOS, they could be anywhere.
In theory, a RPA could remain ONSTA for 2+ MPA missions. I suspect the CONOPs would be very similar to an 'overland' sortie. Launch Recover crew/mission crew that takes control/hands over control at "point X".
The "short deck" idea would extent the MPA and, possibly, allow for them to be used without an MPA. | aerospace |

It is not only educational but also inspirational. Thanks to the web we can today easily take a peek into the past and learn about the turn of events that shaped aviation. Then there are the interactive ‘simulators’ like the Wright Brothers 1903 plane which gives us a ‘virtual’ feel of the first flight.
Fly out to the five websites listed below.
You can start off with the Aviation Timeline. The site records the complete history of aviation from early flight myths to today’s cutting edge space exploration. The site is very simply organized with the menu on the left. Some sections of special interest could be the one on the early aviation pathfinders and the collection of classic aviation posters.
Probably nothing captured the popular imagination than the flying aces from the First World War. This website documents those wonderful flying men and their flying machines. Through articles, photographs, medals awarded, books, and timelines explore aviation history of that eventful period. For instance, the World War I aircraft timeline is a well illustrated look at how the development of the fighter aircraft really took off because of the war. The information is well categorized and there are multiple ways by which you can narrow down on a specific item. The site also has an online discussion board where you can talk shop with other aviation buffs. Go through the Links section and the one on Today in History.
The agency and the site documents the development of the U.S Air Force since the days of the Second World War. Today, it consists of over 70,000,000 pages devoted to the history of the service, and is the world’s largest and most valuable organized collection of documents on US military aviation. You can dive into the site or target specific documents using AFHRA’s search engine. Many information records are provided as downloadable PDF guides. The site also has a superb collection of photographs like the ones on the early Wright Brothers flying machines. There’s also an Art Archive with an interesting section by Disney.
This cool website is courtesy the PBS (Public Broadcasting Service) program that chronicles the history of commercial aviation. The website directly offers or links to interactive sources which explore planes through the years and the innovators behind them. You can peek into aviation history with the help of old newsreels on plane flights and launches. Check out the Aviation Timeline and the Resources section for other informative links. For instance, you come across NOVA (PBS’ science program) website which has a really cool animated interactive Wright Brother’s Flying Machine from 1903. You can ‘pilot’ the plane thanks to the Flash player.
This is a virtual museum that’s all about the invention and development of the airplane. Aviation history buffs will love the movies & photos database while more serious students of aviation history would dive into the text intensive library. Me…I am busy downloading and playing the 1903 Wright Brother’s Shockwave simulator and notching up some airtime.
Just five websites on the more than a century’s worth of the history of flight! Not at all; there are lots more out there. For instance, you can go to the History channel website and try out a search on aviation related content. So, let us know if you are an aviation buff and your favorite site for reading up on the stuff that takes us up into the air.

The brief answer to this inquiry is: it depends. Certainly, the FAA (Federal Aeronautics Management) does not manage or perhaps specify the laws regarding drone digital photography. However, there are some Federal as well as regional legislations that attend to the actions of drone operators when catching images or video clip. First, we should identify whether or not drone digital photography makes up spy digital photography or not. Some people suggest that if one is engaging in legit surveillance or digital photography, one is acting in accordance with the legislation regardless of whether one is making use of a UAV. Hence, they say, one would certainly require to show that they were engaging in activities that, whether or not they photographed, in fact comprised criminal behavior. This might consist of however is not restricted to, photographing an act of criminal damage or theft, conducting prohibited surveillance, or spying on a person in an exclusive location. The trouble for drone photography arises from the reality that it is difficult to establish whether or not one is being targeted during the digital photography. If a drone observes somebody on the ground without an apparent intention to disrupt that person’s conduct, then that action is exempt to the regulations pertaining to UAVs.
Nevertheless, if the drone photography is to show a 3rd party that somebody was being harmed or that the home was being damaged, then the observer of the drone may be accountable for crimes of trespass, damage of home, or attack as well as battery. Similarly, if the viewer flies within a twenty-five foot personal privacy area around the drone and also fires any type of individuals that go across that line, that person may be liable for a criminal offense. One may have a sensible expectation of personal privacy when flying an empty remote controlled lorry, however that assumption will certainly not reach the area within which one is operating the UAV. Therefore, if a drone digital photography shoot goes across the limit line of what a sensible person would certainly expect to be safeguarded by the law, then there is a reason to check out the matter as well as bring to the interest of the court that could decide in the future that those flying UAVs did not have a practical assumption of privacy. It is a threat that is constantly associated with aerial drone surveillance. It is a danger that the much more the task expands, the better the threat to both those working UAVs as well as to the public. Some drone photography makes use of a strategy that does not call for the UAV to fly over once again for a target to be captured. This strategy called bemuse. In this method, the UAV flies at different elevations at different times as well as the video is thus videotaped from all areas that are reached by the UAV at various times. Then, robot arms will move over the UAV, pick up a target, and also fly it back to where the UAV is found on the other side of the anemic boundary. For instance, if the UAV is flying over California, it can send out video clip to a cpu located in the USA and after that to the UK.
If the UAV is flying over England, it can send out video clip to a cpu situated in England. In any type of instance of drone photography, the only thing that prevents the development of a potentially harmful or legally questionable operation is the ability and the proficiency of the individual running the device. A great way to stay clear of the capacity for an improper operation is to understand just how the different options in digital photography job and then use your expertise as well as experience to make sensible decisions regarding which alternative is the safest and also which is best for your certain functions. By working within the borders of the law, you take the possibility that your monitoring objective will certainly not be misconstrued as something unlawful.
You additionally take the opportunity that you will not violate any legislations by flying over a specific location without first obtaining consent of the property owner or otherwise running your UAV within the limits of the law. When you take all of these safety measures, you are taking the appropriate step towards performing secure drone photography. | aerospace |

On July 20, 1969 Neil Armstrong planted the first human footprints in the lunar soil. The United States had accomplished their goal in sending men to the moon. They managed to not only send them 238,857 mi. (384,403 km) into space to our neighbor celestial body, but also send them back with a successful flight to our mother earth.
These events all helped in getting a man to land on the moon, which soon led to the conclusion of the Space Race. The course of action taken by America helped lead them to success when they landed a man on the moon. “First, I believe that this nation should commit itself to achieving the goal, before this decade is out, of landing a man on the moon and returning him safely to the earth.” Those are the words of President John F. Kennedy (1961) during his special message before a joint session of congress. Kennedy’s speech was so emotional and empowering, it united the nation under one cause: to land a man on the moon. Sadly, Kennedy was assassinated in 1963, which was two years after his goal was announced.
On May 25, the president decided to address congress and challenge the nation to make the first man to land on the moon. Then o... ... middle of paper ... ...il Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin became the first men ever to walk on the moon. I’ve talked a lot about NASA. NASA is actually an acronym of National Aeronautics and Space Administration that was created in 1958. NASA is the successor of the former space group, National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA).
02 May 2014. Korotev, Randy L. "How Do We Know That It's a Rock From the Moon?" How Do We Know That It's a Rock from the Moon? Washington University in St. Louis, Nov. 2006. Web.
When you were a kid did you dream of being an astronaut? Did you what to go to the moon? Like many people this dream was a goal in this research paper I will prove that this dream became a reality to be the best at ones goals and see them through. President Kennedy showed us all he was a hero by getting America to support the American space program, and get three heroes on the moon. On October 4, 1957 the Soviet Union launched the first artificial satellite and caught America and the whole world off guard.
July 21, 2013. news.yahoo.com (accessed December 4, 2013). Vogt, Gregory. Apollo and the Moon Landing . Brookfield, Connecticut: The Millbrook Press, 1991. Wilford, John Noble.
Effects of the Moon Walk On July 21, 1969 three men impacted the world in a big way. Neil Armstrong, Michael Collins, and Edwin “Buzz” Aldrin were not the first men to travel in space but they were the first to walk on the moon. Eight years previously, President John F. Kennedy made a speech to the people of the United States that it should be a national goal to put a man on the moon by the end of the decade. During the Cold War the United States and the Soviet Union were a “who’s bigger and better” contest with each other and space exploration was a part of that. The Soviet Union had begun the space race in 1957 with the launch of Sputnik I, an artificial satellite.
“Every sight in space is spectacular.” This was said by Neil Armstrong, the first man to supposedly land on the moon. The question is, did he really land on the moon, or was it a broadcasted fraud? Thousands of Americans argue that it was a setup such as the attacks on September 11, and every day, somebody changes their opinion on what really happened. For many years, people have been trying to figure out this occasion, and ever since Neil Armstrong, Michael Collins, and Buzz Aldrin Ventured down from the moon, conspiracies have been appearing. The three men traveled on a ship called the “Eagle”.
It took a monumental effort by the National Air and Space Administration (NASA) and billions of dollars to reach this point. The Apollo Missions’ accidents, successes, and space leadership have drastically changed America’s space program. On the 25th of May, President Kennedy shocked the nation with his historical speech to put an American on the moon before the decade was out. “We choose to go to the moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard!” Kennedy announced. In the rest of his speech he challenged the Nation’s smartest minds to build a rocket capable of lifting a man to the Moon and returning him safely to the earth. | aerospace |

Seattle Times aerospace reporter
Japan’s Mitsubishi Aircraft will create a flight-test center at Moses Lake for its new Mitsubishi Regional Jet (MRJ), bringing dozens of pilots, engineers and technicians to the Central Washington town, the company will announce Monday at the Farnborough Air Show.
Mitsubishi, which is completing Japan’s first new commercial passenger aircraft in more than 40 years, was attracted by the long, uncrowded runways at Grant County International Airport and the new-plane expertise available in Washington.
In all, about 100 people in Moses Lake will work on the flight-testing project, Mitsubishi Aircraft Corporation president Teruaki Kawai said in an interview.
The MRJ, smaller than any of Boeing’s jets, will come initially in 92-seat and 78-seat variants. Launched seven years ago, it has experienced considerable program delays and is scheduled to enter service in 2017.
Gov. Jay Inslee, sporting a gold MRJ pin in his lapel, said in an interview on the sidelines of Washington state’s pre-Farnborough reception Sunday that the project “sets up an infrastructure for airplane certification and testing that may lead to bigger and better things. The infrastructure could be available to other companies over time.”
Some 50 to 60 Japanese engineers and technicians will be based in Moses Lake for at least a year, Kawai said. A smaller number will stay for three or more years as follow-on variants of the MRJ are tested,
Seattle-based AeroTEC, a small engineering company that provides flight-testing and aircraft certification services, will provide technical support for Mitsubishi, according to a letter of intent signed by the Japanese company.
AeroTEC president Lee Human said his company will hire about 20 engineers and technicians for its part in the flight tests.
It will also build a new 65,000-square-foot hangar at the airfield in Moses Lake, Human said.
Initially that will house three flight-test MRJs, but he said it will be sized for potential future work “to accommodate every Boeing airplane, including the upcoming 777-9X.”
Kawai said initial flights of the airplane will begin next spring in Japan. Then, in fall 2015, the majority of the testing will shift to Moses Lake. Three test aircraft will be based there, two in Japan.
Kawai said his company chose to come to the U.S. because the air space in Japan is congested and there are few long runways available for testing purposes.
Grant County International Airport, an Air Force base until 1966, will offer ideal flight-test conditions: runways up to 13,500 feet long, the newly built hangar, little competing air traffic and clear weather.
The expertise offered by AeroTEC is also part of the draw.
“The reason we had delays for this program is that we didn’t have any experience in how to get certification,” said Kawai. In Washington state, “there are a lot of experienced people.”
The MRJ flight-test program will renew a longstanding cultural link between Moses Lake and Japan.
For 40 years until 2008, Japan Airlines (JAL) used the airfield as a base to train pilots to fly its 747-400s, the last of which JAL retired in 2011.
Over the decades, more than 10,000 JAL crew members were based there for short periods of training.
Boeing also conducts frequent flight tests of its much bigger jets out of Moses Lake.
Once largely rural, Moses Lake is growing rapidly as a center of heavy industry and high-tech manufacturing.
German firms SGL and BMW have just announced an expansion of their carbon-fiber plant there that by next year will make it the largest in the world, employing about 200 people.
The town is also home to REC Silicon, which makes silicon for solar panels and employs about 500 people.
The largest employer is Genie Industries, which makes aerial work platforms and employs 1,350 people.
Patrick Jones, executive director of the Port of Moses Lake, said having Mitsubishi join ATS, the aircraft-modification company, at the Grant County International Airport “is going to be another jump forward in our ability to support large-scale aviation services.”
Jones said the hangar construction is mostly funded by private money from AeroTEC.
Inslee said the state also provided “some strategic reserve funds” for infrastructure to help make the Mitsubishi project come together.
“Relatively small investments by the state, but they are really going to pay off,” he said.
The state’s pre-air show reception Sunday afternoon was at the Shangri-La hotel in the Shard, a modernist skyscraper in central London.
The venue on the 34th floor offered stunning views of the river Thames, Tower Bridge and a wide vista of central London.
It was more impressive by far than the locations of state receptions at previous air shows.
The Washington Aerospace Partnership, a collaboration of state business, labor and government leaders co-sponsored the reception with HSBC, a British bank involved in trade between the U.K. and the state.
Alex Pietsch, director of the governor’s aerospace office, said the aerospace partnership “felt that the 777X was a tremendous win for the state, and to celebrate that and to celebrate the Washington aerospace industry here in London on the eve of the air show, that this was a fitting venue.”
Inslee’s trip was funded by the fees paid by the 40-strong delegation. “I’m not here on the public dime,” the governor said.
At this week’s show, Inslee will meet with a selection of top aerospace executives, including Boeing CEO Jim McNerney and Airbus Americas Chairman Allan McArtor.
He’ll also meet with Fred Hochberg, chairman of the U.S. Export-Import Bank, and will be one of 31 governors signing a letter asking Congress to reauthorize the bank. | aerospace |

The move follows last week’s crash of an Ethiopian jet bound for Kenyway – an incident that occurred shortly after takeoff, just as a crash off Indonesia last year. The death toll from the Ethiopian tragedy was 157; there were 189 people killed in the Indonesian crash.
The flight data and cockpit voice recorders from last week’s incident have been recovered and are being examined.
Ethiopian Airlines said grounding the four remaining 737-8s as an "extra safety precaution" – language echoed by Chinese aviation officials who said their grounding of all 737-8s "in line with the management principle of zero tolerance for safety hazards and strict control of safety risks." China operates 96 of the aircraft.
News sources say officials lost contact with the Ethiopian flight about six minutes after the plane took off from Bole International Airport. The captain reported "difficulties" and requested permission to return to the airport – then the plane disappeared from radar.
The jet had been in service for only four months and had no known technical issues, a spokesman said. | aerospace |

Research area of work is large folded mechanical systems tests. During the on-ground tests it’s necessary to reduce gravity force activity on joints of mechanical system. Zero-gravity systems are usable for that purpose. Zero-gravity impact on test results and that may cause corruption of results.
Goal of research is entering of analysis of mechanical system dynamic that allows get information about mechanical system behavior, about working capacity, and set specification to developed test equipment for reducing its impact on test process. On test preparation stage analysis of dynamics is usable for finding of most effective test pattern. On test stage usage of suggested method allows effective test result analysis.
During execution of competitive work methods of analysis of mechanical system behavior in compliance with on-ground test conditions is done. Features of all main stages of modeling are defined, process of developing and verification of calculation model is done. Universal calculation models are composed. These models may be used for analysis of similar mechanical systems dynamic.
Work describes results of analysis of spacecraft solar array dynamic. Features of motion, main parameters of functionality and actual loads are defined with application of modeling on design stage. Most effective zero-gravity system for that test object is picked and specification for its key parameters is done. Calculation model successfully pass verification on test stage. Maximum loads in plane of weakness are defined with calculation model. Analysis of some test patterns for maximum loads definition is done and most effective pattern is chosen. Difference between computed value and test value is 5%.
Described method of analysis is applied for precursive analysis of test pattern in common time. Method is applied for test equipment design and also for large folded mechanical systems test. That will provide high quality of on-ground test in JSC “ISS”.

There’s a number of programs in the Air Force that helps you and your family to plan your next vacation and offset your travel costs.
Space A Travel
Space-Available Travel means that airmen can use the available space in military aircraft to travel for their holidays, usually at a lower rate than commercial flights. The flight schedule will not be released until 72 hours before departure so you have to check your closest passenger terminal to confirm the schedule.(usually done through their facebook page) There are certain conditions when airmen’s family members/dependents( child up to age 23) are allowed to do space A travel with their military member accompanied or unaccompanied. Check this link to find out whether you’re eligible for Space A travel.
A short reminder before you board, there’s no guarantee that you will get selected seat on the military aircraft after signing up, in these cases, be ready to pay for the travel expense on a commercial flight.
Information, Tickets, and Tour Office (ITT)
Information Tickets and Tours office under the Air Force Service Activity Program (also called Air Force MWR) at your base should be your first stop when it comes to travel planning, as it offers information regarding tickets, transportation, attractions, pool, hotels, and other discounts you may not be aware of. Sometimes they offer ITT-only discounts that’s not even available elsewhere. Air Force Service Activity Program also offers outdoor recreation options such as campgrounds, fishing, kayaking, etc for you to enjoy nature without traveling far. See this handbook for a list of joint service campgrounds and facilities.
Air Force Inn
The Air Force Inn is the on base lodging spot for you and your family on vacation. Given the extensive network of Air Force all over the world, you will be able to have access to quality hotel rooms just like any commercial lodging facilities, but at a much lower, affordable price!

Quadcopters are VTOL rotorcraft with four propellers or rotors for propulsion. Multirotor is a more general term encompassing not only quadcopter drones but also tricopters, hexcopters, octocopters, and all other forms of rotorcraft with more than two rotors. Quadcopters provide stable flight performance, making them ideal for surveillance and aerial photography. Other application areas include delivery, land surveys, crop assessment, weather broadcasting, and more.
Multirotor drones are considered a new and innovative technology. Therefore, many fields are showing increasing interest in utilizing multirotor drones, such as mapping in mining and surveillance in transportation. The construction industry has been a slow adopter of novel technologies. Multirotor drones have potential to facilitate construction in many aspects. You can find the best deals on amazon for a wide variety of best premium drones and quadcopters of 2022.
Benefits of Quadcopters and Multirotors
Quality Aerial View
Quadcopters and multirotor drones are good for taking high quality aerial photos and videos, and for collecting a great deal of data. By using these high resolution images, 3D maps and interactive 3D models can be created that has many advantages. Rescue teams can, for example, be better prepared before entering hazardous situations by viewing 3D maps of disaster areas.
A manned aerial vehicle can be programmed and maneuvered accurately to precise locations because it uses GPS (the Global Positioning System). Various applications can benefit from this. UAVs are used for a variety of purposes in precision agriculture, such as spraying fertilizer and insecticide, identifying weed infestations, and monitoring crop health. They are efficient both in terms of time and cost.
Most quadcopters and multirotors can be operated and deployed with relatively little experience due to advances in control technology. A wide variety of operators are now able to use them because of their relatively low cost. Their range of movement is also greater than that of manned aircraft. Flying lower and in a wider range of directions allow them to navigate traditionally hard to reach areas with ease.
With the appropriate license, unmanned aerial vehicles can provide security and surveillance at sporting events, public gatherings, and other locations. As a security and recovery tool, they can also collect valuable data during and after natural disasters.
Factors to Consider Before Buying Quadcopters and Multirotors
Thrust to Weight Ratio
In all types of multirotors, it is important to make sure that the motors used in your drone can produce around 50% more thrust than the actual weight of the drone. If the thrust of all motors is less, the drone will not respond well to your control and its take off. Your drone motors have to remain stable and well functional even in times of slightly windy condition. With the high thrust to weight ratio, a drone will have greater agility and acceleration but it will be harder to control as well.
Consider Your Application
When choosing a quadcopter and multirotor, you should first consider your application that will determine whether you need a fixed or a rotary wing model. The wing type has a big impact on the manoeuvrability and endurance of your UAV. For example, while a fixed wing model is easier to fly, it will not allow you to hover. To hover, you will need to use a rotary wing model.
DIY or Readymade
Generally, DIY (Do It Yourself) UAVs tend to have more area for customization. But if you are a beginner, a Ready To Fly (RTF) UAV should be your choice, since assembling a UAV, if you are not experienced is quite a challenging task.
Look for Reviews
Information about the UAVs construction and how other users have used it, will give you a better understanding of how it works. Reviews from customers should give you a good idea of how each UAV balances quality and price. If you choose a quadcopter and multirotor with excellent reviews, and one that falls within your budget range, you should have one that will be worth your money.
Selecting the right quadcopter and multirotor for you does not have to be difficult. Choosing one on your skill level and intended purpose will help you find an easy to use and rewarding one. You should get a drone that is high quality and affordable, as well as having the features you want, that will give you a sense of satisfaction and fun for as long as you own it.
Quadcopters are the most common design, having a less complex stabilising mechanism than tricopters and fewer parts than hexacopters or octocopters. The more rotors a multirotor drone has, the more thrust it can generate and thus the greater a payload it can lift.

These airborne flight vehicles are tethered to the ground and capable of extracting energy at altitudes where wind speeds are higher and more consistent. Even at altitudes as low as 2000 ft, which could be accommodated through FAA Part 77 Ground Obstruction regulations, wind speeds are more than twice that of ground-based wind turbine systems, with the potential for 8x higher power extraction and capacity factors that are 2x greater. Higher altitudes provide even more opportunity for increased power density and wind consistency.
Many small companies are currently pioneering advanced concepts to take advantage of this potential, however, significant technical, regulatory, and perception barriers exist to impede their progress. These potential barriers include airspace access, operational safety, environmental impact, concept of operation viability, economic viability, and energy production scaling potential. Up to this point, no government research investment has been made into this emerging technology research. The objective of this system study is to assemble a complete picture of these systems to help establish a foundation for this future industry, and support the wide variety of concept approaches.
Development of an open database of resources
Requirements, desirements, and metrics to guide the development of concepts
Decomposition of the wide variety of concept approaches
Across the board first principles analysis to showcase the feasible benefit frontier
Understanding the gaps that currently exist, and a mapping of NASA technology expertise that can address these gaps.

The talks focused on how space fits into the current Asia-Pacific security situation and how the allies can increase cooperative efforts in satellite communications, hosted payloads and Japanese participation in US space war-gaming.
The two leaders, he said, agreed to continue strengthening the US-Japanese alliance by integrating space into political and military discussions at all levels. The US official reiterated his country’s commitment to its alliances in the region.
Washington has been particularly active recently in the field of space defence. DARPA announced this week, that it is seeking help from several unspecified organizations to help with its programme called Hallmark, which aims to develop tools and technologies to plan, assess, and execute US military operations in space.
Also, recently United Launch Alliance company has announced the launch of a US spy satellite “to replenish the US spy satellite fleet.” The launch comes days after another launch by the rival SpaceX company with a secret US government spacecraft called Zuma, which, according to several reports has failed to reach the orbit. | aerospace |

Both Land Safely At BTV; No Injuries Reported
Two planes made emergency landings at Burlington International Airport on Wednesday. Airport operations officials said such events are rare.
A Chicago-bound United Airlines flight made its emergency landing shortly after takeoff around 6:30 a.m. A United spokesman said a cockpit indicator light erroneously alerted the flight crew to smoke in the cargo hold. The plane is operated by Mesa Airlines.
Crews worked to fix the problem all day, but a spokesman could not say when the plane would be back in service.
Hours later, another emergency landing, this time from a Delta flight. The flight from Detroit landed safely at the airport after the pilot reported banging sounds coming from the main cabin door.
Crews inspected the door as the 33 passengers deplaned. The plane was taken away and was on its way to Quebec, The Associated Press reported.
Airport officials said emergency crews responded to both incidents effectively and responsibly. No one was hurt in either incident. Officials also say weather was not a factor. | aerospace |

In 1991 a new type of transfer to the Moon was operationally demonstrated by the Japanese spacecraft, Hiten, using ballistic capture. It was designed by this speaker and James Miller. This is capture about the Moon which is automatic so that no rocket engines are required. It was accomplished due to the existence of regions in phase space called weak stability boundaries, where ballistic capture occurs. These are complex fractal regions of unstable chaotic motion. Until recently it was thought that such a transfer to Mars was not feasible. Recent work by Francesco Topputo and this speaker has shown that a new type of ballistic capture transfer exists to Mars, with interesting implications. It will be described how to design these transfers given realistic constraints and why is so challenging. | aerospace |

Cargo pallets require a high-loader to access its main deck.
Aircraft History and Features
The Tu-204 was designed as a family of aircraft incorporating passenger, cargo, combi and quick-change variants. It is powered by either two Aviadvigatel PS-90 or Rolls-Royce RB211 engines. The Tu-204 is produced at two of the largest Russian aircraft manufacturing plants in Ulyanovsk (Tu-204 series) and Kazan (Tu-214).
A cargo version of the Tu-204 is being successfully operated by several airlines in Europe and Egypt.
In 1994, the first certificate for Tu-204 aircraft (with PS-90A engines) was issued. Subsequently, issued certificates have extended estimated operational conditions and improved overall aircraft type design. The Tu-204-120 variant, certified with Rolls-Royce RB211-535E4 engines, complies with noise regulations described in Chapter 3 of Supplement 16 to ICAO, hence meeting all current European and ICAO requirements. It is currently undergoing the certification process with JAA. The Tu-204-100 variant, certified with PS-90A engines, complies with noise regulations described in Chapter 4 of Supplement 16 to ICAO which means it is quieter. The aircraft was certified to Russian standards AP-25 (harmonized with FAR-25 and JAR-25).
The Tu-204 is part of a new generation of Russian aircraft, including other recent developments such as the Ilyushin Il-96. The Tu-204 features many technological innovations such as fly-by-wire control systems, a glass cockpit, supercritical wings with winglets, and is available with Russian or foreign avionics.

On board this vehicle is the Yu Tu (Jade Rabbit) lunar rover, a vehicle that is designed to deploy from the vehicle once it reaches lunar orbit and explore the surface independently. If all continues to go to plan, the Chang’e-3 will reach the Moon by December 14th, and its arrival will certainly be historic.
For starters, the probe’s landing in Sinus Iridum, a basaltic lava plane in the Moon’s northern hemisphere, will be the first spacecraft to make a soft landing on the Moon in 37 years. In addition, it will the be the first time China has landed a spacecraft and a rover on the Moon. This is the latest in the Chang’e program, a series of robotic and human missions that ultimately seeks to put Chinese cosmonauts on the Moon.
The Chang’e-3 mission incorporates two major components – the Lander and the Jade Rabbit rover, which is named after the companion of the Moon goddess Chang’e in Chinese mythology. The three-stage Chang Zheng 3B (Long March 3B) launch vehicle that is being used to send the Chang’e-3 probe to the Moon is roughly a functional equivalent of SpaceX’s Falcon 9 rocket, the heaviest rocket in their fleet.
After launching on Monday from the Xichang Satellite Launch Centre, the rocket was placed into an Earth-Moon transfer orbit and conducted its first separation. Shortly thereafter, its second stage engines were engaged to effect course corrections and bring the lander and rover into lunar orbit. Then came two crucial burns from the third stage engines, which put the Chang’e-3 probe into a parking and then highly elliptical translunar orbit.
Throughout all this, the probe slept, and will continue to do so until it burns its own engines to enter lunar orbit tomorrow.Then will come the tricky bit, landing safely without any input from controllers on Earth. This requires a combination of inertial guidance, extremely precise range and velocity measurements, image recognition, and a pretty fast computer – not to mention a certain amount of luck.
Once landed, the six-wheeled rover will begin exploring the surface and collecting soil samples for analysis. As with other rovers, energy will be provided by a series of solar panels and information obtained during its mission will be sent back to Earth for further analysis. In addition, real-time video and pictures will be captured by the rover’s arsenal of cameras, all of which will be sent back to Earth and shared via Chinese media outlets.
In addition to being a first for China’s space program, the Jade Rabbit also has the added distinction of being outfitted with what is arguably the most sophisticated scientific equipment of any previous rover. Most notable is a powerful ground-penetrating radar capable of penetrating up to 30 meters (100 ft) of lunar soil or about 100 m (330 ft) of lunar crustal material, and analyzing the underlying structure.
The rover is also equipped with an Alpha Particle X-ray Spectrometer (APXS) that uses particle-induced X-ray emission and X-ray fluorescence to determine the abundance of elements within rock and soil samples. The instrument can also find hidden materials, such as water of crystallization, which is otherwise difficult to detect remotely. Finding water on the Moon is an ongoing objective for space agencies, and crucial to plans for future settlement.
Then there is the Lunar Ultraviolet Telescope (LUT), which is designed to act as the first long-term astronomical observatory to ever be placed on the Moon’s surface. The vacuum environment and slow rotation of the lunar environment make an ideal location for near-UV observations that cannot be carried out from beneath the Earth’s obscuring atmosphere.
Another optical instrument is the Extreme Ultraviolet Camera intended to monitor the Earth’s plasmasphere, which is a magnetically active region within the magnetosphere but above the ionosphere. It works by viewing light with a wavelength of 30.5 nm which is scattered from helium ions in the plasmasphere. The lander is also hosting several other cameras and a lunar soil probe.
As already stated, the landing site for Chang’e-3 is in the general area of Sinus Iridum, a northwestern extension to the Mare Imbrium basaltic plane which is surrounded from the northeast to the southwest by the Montes Jura mountain range. A precise location has not yet been announced by Chinese authorities, but it has been widely speculated that it will take place within the vicinity of crater Laplace A – a crater that is about 9 km in diameter.
This is certainly an exciting time, as we are likely to learn plenty of new things about the Moon in the next few weeks! And in the meantime, be sure to check out this animation of the Change’e-3 entire mission- from launch to touchdown and deployment on the Moon, courtesy of

The country is seeking to bring soil and rock samples from the lunar surface back to Earth for the first time in its history, for scientific study.
What’s going to happen: Chang’e 5 should make it to the moon on November 27. The entire mission consists of four parts: an orbiter, a lander, an ascent stage, and a return capsule. The spacecraft are not equipped with any heating units to help the onboard electronics withstand the super-cold temperatures of the lunar night. That means the mission must collect its sample and start heading back to Earth within 14 days (the length of the lunar day).
Tell me more: The lander will make its way down to the surface of the moon at a site close to Mons Rümker, a volcanic formation in the Oceanus Procellarum region that lies on the western edge of the near side of the moon. The lander will seek to scoop up at least four pounds of lunar soil from the surface. It will first drill about 6.5 feet into the ground and collect a core of lunar soil from below the surface. Then a robotic arm will grab soil from the surface itself. A near-infrared spectrometer and ground-penetrating radar will help Chang’e 5 analyze some of the soil while still on the ground, as well as ensuring that it avoids heavy or hazardous rocks.
Once the material is scooped up, the sample will be stored onto an ascent vehicle that will ferry it back to the orbiter flying above. The orbiter will then place the sample into a return capsule that should get back to Earth by December 17 and land somewhere in Inner Mongolia. | aerospace |

March 20, 2021
Elon Musk says construction of a new Starship rocket prototype is nearing completion. His test flight will not be long in coming.
The new Starship prototype test is coming soon. On Twitter, Elon Musk said on March 17, 2021 that preparations for the eleventh takeoff were on track: the craft itself is almost ready. There is due to be a static firing very soon, in order to examine the good behavior of the rocket. Observations around the test site show that this final examination is imminent.

The SN11 prototype (Serial Number 11) must resolve a problem that was observed with the SN10: the three engines of the rocket did not develop sufficient thrust to sufficiently slow the machine upon landing. It did land, but at excessive speed. The structure of the SN10 then underwent significant deformations, on the landing gear side as well as on the lower part of the rocket.
A helium incident observed with the previous prototype
In the days following this essay, some clarification was provided by Elon Musk himself. There was a problem with the helium, which was originally used to pressurize the methane tank and thus solve a problem observed during the SN8 test (a pressurization problem, in fact). At that time, Elon Musk added that SN11 was being corrected to avoid this scenario.
Image above: In this photo, the SN10 prototype has reactivated its engines and is in the process of tipping into an upright position to prepare for landing. He will succeed. Before exploding ten minutes later. Image Credit: SpaceX.
SN11 will be the fourth high altitude flight. The previous two, SN8 and 9, exploded on landing. SN10 had known a somewhat happier epilogue, because it had been able to land before ending up in confetti ten minutes later. SpaceX is set to offer a live broadcast of this test again - you'll have to be on the lookout, as the announcement often comes just minutes before the launch.
Starship | SN10 | High-Altitude Flight Recap
Starship is to be SpaceX's versatile ship in the medium and long term: it will replace the Falcon 9 and its heavy version, Falcon Heavy, for its missions of putting satellites into orbit, delivering equipment and supplies for the ISS and beyond, and astronaut transport. It is also with the Starship that SpaceX will organize a flyby of the Moon in 2023 for a few space tourists.

Quick turnaround in wartime
Posted by John McHale
Many of our stories this past year have covered how U.S. Department of Defense leaders are pushing aside funding for long-term programs to get equipment and technology into the field quickly to help the troops in Iraq and Afghanistan -- especially for technology to defeat improvised explosive devices (IEDs).
Developing technology for mission critical applications is not typically done over night, and it taxes engineers to find a viable solution in a short time while still ensuring the reliability necessary for harsh environments
I had the opportunity last week to visit engineers at Lockheed Martin Missiles and Fire Control in Orlando, Fla., to learn more about a quick-turn around effort they did for electronics aboard the U.S. Army Apache helicopter.
The Army Aviation Applied Technology Directorate (AATD) tasked the Lockheed engineers to design the Apache Video from Unmanned Aircraft Systems for Interoperability Teaming -- Level 2 (VUIT-2) program last year. Lockheed engineers completed the system in just over 10 months.
Production engineers in the Lockheed manufacturing facility told me it was the fastest they ever had to turn around a program from start to finish, but now they know they can do it. They said that the lessons they learned will he applied to other programs they are working on to possibly speed up the production cycle.
The VUIT-2 essentially enables video to be transferred to ground units for improved situational awareness. It will also be used in conjunction with unmanned aircraft, Lockheed Martin engineers said. The VUIT-2 does not interfere with the helicopter's avionics, which helped shorten the design cycle as well, they said. | aerospace |

The customisation of cutting tool manufacturing, the rapid manufacturing of metal parts with high mechanical requirements, 3D printing in plastics and composites, and the improvement of properties in the manufacture of aircraft fuselage are some of the advantages offered by the innovation processes applicable thanks to additive manufacturing.
TECNALIA has developed four benchmark technologies for the Industry and Transport sectors: Binder Jetting, WAAM, LMD, and Additive manufacturing for plastics and composites, for the energy, machine-tool, health, and construction sectors.
Improving the competitiveness of companies
- The application of the Binder Jetting process is used as an alternative for the customisation of cutting tools.
- LMD technology is applied to low-pressure turbine casings for the aeronautical sector.
- On the other hand, 3D printing, with its fields of application in plastics and composites and the acceleration of WAAM technology processes in the application of rapid manufacturing of metal parts with high mechanical requirements are ground-breaking technologies that need to be implemented in companies. The goal is to gain efficiency and have a productive return of profitability in the production of parts. | aerospace |

National origin:- France Role:- Fighter Manufacturer:- SNCAM / SNCASE Designer:- Emile Dewoitine, owner and founder of Dewoitine, with the firm's chief engineer, Robert Castello First flight:- 2 October 1938 Introduction:- January 1940 Retired:- 1953 Primary users:- French Air Force, Free French Air Force, Luftwaffe, Regia Aeronautica, Bulgarian Air Force Number built:- ≈900 Variants:- In 1940, SNCAM had several projects to fit the D.520 airframe with more powerful engines. These developments were halted by the June armistice.
The Dewoitine D.520 Story
The Dewoitine D.520 was a French fighter aircraft that entered service in early 1940, shortly after the beginning of the Second World War.
The D.520 was designed in response to a 1936 requirement from the French Air Force for a fast, modern fighter with a good climbing speed and an armament centred on a 20 mm cannon. At the time the most powerful V 12 liquid-cooled engine available in France was the Hispano-Suiza 12Y, which was less powerful, but lighter than contemporary engines such as the Rolls-Royce Merlin and Daimler-Benz DB 601. Other fighters were designed to meet the specifications but none of them entered service, or entered service in small numbers, too late to play a significant role during the Battle of France.
Unlike the Morane-Saulnier M.S.406, which was at that time the most numerous fighter in the French Air Force, the Dewoitine D.520 came close to being a match for the latest German types, such as the Messerschmitt Bf 109. It was slower than the Bf 109E but superior in manoeuvrability. Because of production delays, only a small number were available for combat against the Luftwaffe. The D.520 proved to be relatively capable as a dogfighter against the Luftwaffe's inventory, but lacked sufficient numbers to make a difference.
Following the armistice, the D.520 continued to be used, being operated by both the Free French Air Force and the Vichy French Air Force. The type was also returned to production during 1942, although it was manufactured at a lower rate than it had been during 1940. Additional examples were operated by the Luftwaffe, Regia Aeronautica, and the Bulgarian Air Force. The D.520 saw combat service in North Africa, Bulgaria, and the Eastern Front, as well as use in France and Germany for training and defence purposes. During the type's later life, it was used as a trainer aircraft. On 3 September 1953, the last D.520s were finally withdrawn from service.

There are very versatile proposals on the table for a joint Sino-European science mission. The joint call for proposals closed on 16 March. During two workshops in the last two years, European and Chinese scientists came up with ideas for a network of lunar satellites, X-ray imager, extreme-ultraviolet telescope or a telescope studying galaxy formation. The mission concepts are currently under evaluation. An decision is expected by the end of 2015.
18 March 2015
Chinese space authorities have announced plans to launch more than 40 different spacecraft on 20 launches into orbit this year. "They will be mainly communication satellites, or geosynchronous satellites orbiting at the height of 36-thousand miles. There will also be some remote sensing satellites sent up to observe the Earth, as well as navigation satellites for the Beidou system." said Zhao Xiaojin, Director of the Space Department with the China Aerospace and Science Technology Corporation. Additionally, he stated that work is also continuing on the Chinese lunar programme. "We have made breakthroughs in most of the key technology needed for the Chang'e-5 mission. This year we will conduct more ground tests, particularly ones involving the conditions which will imitate the environment on the Moon."

On the Web
Visit the Veterans Project of Marion County at http://veterans.ocala.com/ and hear Arthur Johnson share his experiences as a WWII bomber pilot.
“There was a joke that the B-24 was a plane brought to the war in crates on a B-17,” said Oglesby, a B-17 pilot and Ocala resident.
“I flew a B-24,” Johnson said. “It was an improvement on the B-17.”
The Collings Foundation has flying examples of both warbirds that can be seen during the Wings of Freedom Tour taking place through Sunday at Gainesville Regional Airport. Guests can walk through the planes, or even take a flight for a fee.
Johnson finds it “amazing” to look back at bombing missions carried out in a non-pressurized plane, which required oxygen masks, and extreme cold, which required heated flight suits.
“I don’t know how we did it in our 20s,” he said. “I think about it now and I shake, but we were all in it for the best.”
Johnson, 90, whose birthday is Dec. 7, heard about the bombing of Pearl Harbor while visiting with church friends the Sunday morning of the Japanese attack.
“I enlisted in 1943,” said Johnson, who had been working as a “rack clerk” at a bank in his native Brooklyn, New York.
Then about age 22, Johnson had not yet gotten a driver’s license. He was sent to flight school and, after training, was assigned to the 15th Air Force in the rank of captain and air craft commander or pilot.
“I learned to fly before I could drive,” he said.
“We were stationed in the Mediterranean at Lecce, the southernmost airbase in Italy,” Johnson said, which made bombing runs longer and more dangerous. “We had great P-51 and P-38 fighter escorts and saw occasional German fighters and lots of flak.”
According to www.15th.af.org, the 15th Air Force “fought against enemy oil (production of gasoline), air force, communications and ground forces.”
Johnson said he flew about 35 missions, including bombing runs over Ploesti, Germany.
The 15th Air Force website states that Ploesti “contributed about 30 percent of the entire Axis oil and gasoline supply and was protected by 150 first-class fighters and 250 heavy flak guns.”
“My crew of nine and I were very fortunate we returned unscathed,” said Johnson, who was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross.
After World War II, he flew runs carrying personnel and cargo on four-engine C-54 aircraft for the Air Transport Command, with one flight stretching from California to Tokyo.
He then joined the Air National Guard and flew twin engine B-26 aircraft.
Following his service, Johnson resumed what would be a 40-year career with First National City Bank in New York.
He married his wife, Vonya, in 1950. They have two daughters, Lois Grillo and Doreen Abruzzesa. The couple came to Ocala in 1991 from Brooklyn.
Of the running debate between him and Oglesby, Johnson said, “The B-17 may have been able to sustain a little more damage (and return), but the B-24 did a little more for the effort.”

Launch launch Space system ABL’ The first launch attempt to orbit ended in failure on Tuesday after all nine engines on the RS1 rocket’s first stage stopped working simultaneously. The rocket then hit the launch pad and was destroyed on impact.
The rocket took off from the Pacific Spaceport Complex on Alaska’s Kodiak Island at about 6:27 p.m. EST. It is not clear how long after takeoff the engine failed. The rocket is carrying a demonstration of CubeSat technology for data analytics company OmniTeq. While the payload was lost, no personnel were injured by the missile’s impact.
As is customary with unusual rocket launches, the company is working with officials from the spaceport and the US Federal Aviation Administration to investigate the cause of the engine shutdown.
ABL President Dan Piemont told TechCrunch that while the investigation is still in its early stages, “The concurrency of the outage is strong evidence but it will take longer for the team to narrow down the factors. contributing and root cause.”
ABL’s 88-foot RS1 high usable rocket is capable of carrying up to 1,350 kilograms into low Earth orbit, similar to Firefly Aerospace’s Alpha vehicle. The company has previously said that each launch will cost around $12 million, placing it in a growing field of competitors looking to offer a quick launch at a low cost. .
Tuesday’s failure comes just a day after a Virgin Orbit mission went through its own anomaly, ended the mission early. Two other rockets have also encountered problems in the past month: Arianespace’s Vega-C and Chinese company Landspace’s Zhuque-2, which will be the first methane-fueled rockets to reach orbit.
ABL has raised $420 million since its inception in 2017, including a $200 million Series B expansion round in December 2021 at a $2.4 billion valuation. Its investors include Lockheed Martin, which bought a block of up to 58 launches from the startup last April.
“Flight 2’s vehicle is fully assembled and ready to commence flight operations, so we are doing our best to continue that as soon as the Flight 1 investigation is complete,” said Piemont. . | aerospace |

From Fast Company
November 27, 2012 - 9:25am
Blended wing aircraft are far more fuel efficient than the tube-and-wing designs the major airlines use. So why have we sided with inefficiency? Blended wing planes have been an inspiring idea since the 1920s. By flattening the whole plane, the entire fuselage generates lift, while the wings are used primarily for steering. This can purportedly lead to a lift-to-drag ratio that’s up to 50% better than conventional tube-wing (think commercial aircraft) designs. If such planes were just 10% more fuel efficient, the industry would save about $7 billion a year. Click to enlarge. For a project by Intel, student scientist Connor Lynch ran a wind tunnel model comparing these ideas, and then he passed the data to graphic designer Mikell Fine Iles. The result was the graphic you see here. It’s two planes both cutting through the air. The top is a blended wing craft; the bottom i...
