The decision means the creation of at least 50 high-skilled jobs in Northeast Florida.
“A great team came together to make a solid case for building this plane in Northeast Florida, resulting in a ‘win - win’ for the First Coast economy and our national defense,” said Crenshaw. “More importantly, this contract underscores the deep confidence by our military that Jacksonville continues to be a military aviation center of excellence.”
The Super Tucano is a single-engine turboprop aircraft that Embraer employees will assemble and test at facilities at Jacksonville International Airport. The contract is to provide both an advanced aircrew trainer and a light air support aircraft to establish air combat capability for Afghanistan under the Building Partnership Capacity program. | aerospace |

The very first 2 are the Drone Thermometer Test and the Remote Flying Cam Test. The 2nd is a brief video demonstrating how to utilize your drone thermal imaging devices and the last needs you to demonstrate your understanding of the mapping system utilized in DJI Inspire 2.
The thermal imaging electronic camera utilized in DJI Inspire is developed to be extremely robust and durable. This understanding is absolutely essential if they wish to pass all of the DJI thermal certification requirements.
The test that you will have to pass will measure the efficacy of your electronic camera’s thermal regulation. This is measured by how lots of degrees are kept cold or warm by the thermal camera. You will be monitored throughout the test by a qualified specialist. They will be able to aesthetically inspect the various parts of your drone in genuine time and identify whether or not your equipment is working as successfully as it should. It is very important to make sure that you follow all directions and specifications within the guidelines set by DJI.
Mapping is the last part of the thermal imaging assessment. The electronic camera will be placed over the area to be thermal mapped and the positions of these vulnerable points will be recorded.
As soon as your drone has passed all of the drone thermal examination tests, it will be time for it to be accredited. It is at this point that the DJI drone thermal cam will be examined by an DJI engineer who will examine its condition.
When you are thinking about buying a DJI drone, thermal imaging is a crucial security feature that will allow you to make informed choices on the part of your operator. If you follow all the needed steps to achieve thermal accreditation of your DJI thermal video camera, you can rest assured that you are offering the safest possible flight conditions and that you are making sure the continued safe operation of your DJI airplane.
The United States Federal Aviation Administration (or FAA) has presented new guidelines meant to make it much easier for drones to be operated by anyone with a valid license. A present policy avoids business drone flights, however the brand-new FAA guidelines take this one step even more to avoid anyone from running a drone that positions a hazard to anybody on the ground.
If everyone were required to undergo training simply as they would for an airplane, the UAV market would dry up tomorrow since only licensed and skilled operators could fly drones. While nobody can promise for how long such a procedure would take, it is clear that the intention behind the new guideline is to try to secure the customer market and make sure that everybody correctly executes the law when using a UAV. Lots of customers are not sure that they would even know how to operate their remote-controlled lorry if they were not instructed in its operation. Therefore, making it required for everyone to pass a test administered by the FAA prior to investing money on UAVs is a smart relocation.
Just as it would be unreasonable to anticipate someone who was not trained for cabin operations to fly an airplane, it is likewise unreasonable to expect anybody to fly a UAV without training and guidance. It holds true that the Federal Aviation Administration is not actively pursuing this objective, however it would be impractical to expect the company to let things drop. That stated, it is most likely that some kind of policy will emerge in the years to come. When it does, the only real distinction will be that consumers will have more access to UAVs that are flown according to safe operating procedures.
Just as there would be no reason to enable a blind individual to drive a cars and truck, there would likewise be no reason to let an inexperienced person to fly a UAV. Not only would this lead to mishaps, it would likewise subject the operator to fines and charges. This is exactly what is occurring presently with the Federal Air Travel Administration. It is entirely possible that in the future, nobody will need a drone license to run among these flying machines, however until that time arises, anyone who wishes to securely and lawfully transport UAVs is going to need to undergo some form of training. Even for those who are running one of these devices for enthusiast functions, some type of training is still needed.
Of course, there may be scenarios where such licensing is unnecessary. If someone is using a thermography drone for a agricultural or crop-dusting operation, they would probably not require the license that a drone pilot would require to legally provide food to their clients. However, there is no reason that such an operation could not be made legal. Why? The operator would most likely get a thermal drone operator’s certification if such an operation was undertaken safely.
In any case, the future of remote aerial surveillance is most likely to bring lots of new applications for thermal drone operators. They might extremely well end up being the brand-new “mannequin” for the sake of precision and accuracy in shooting or taking aerial pictures. Anyone thinking about ending up being a thermal drone pilot operator would be well recommended to invest in a formal training program, simply as they would if they were preparing on ending up being a drone pilot. This would assist ensure that they would be trained to safely operate any of these flying devices and would likewise make it much easier to encourage authorities that they have the needed experience to securely provide this new type of aerial imaging innovation to the marketplace. | aerospace |

The problem is loss of pilot control. In a directive published January 27 in the Monday edition of the Federal Register, the regulatory agency issued a directive warning that problems with the moveable section of the aircraft’s tail can jam, potentially hampering the pilot’s ability to fly the plane.
The directive mandates that the 767 jets undergo an “enhanced inspection” focused horizontal flight-control surfaces called elevators, pieces of equipment that help aircraft climb and descend. In certain cases, the elevator’s fasteners and other devices used to control the aircraft will need to be modified or replaced. According to the FAA, “failures or jams in the elevator system” can result “in a significant pitch upset and possible loss of control.”
Implementing the needed repairs would cost U.S. airline operators approximately $510 per plane for labor and an unknown amount for parts, the FAA calculated. However, the costs of inspections would run much higher, and already some carriers have replaced the parts in question to avoid the onerous federal inspections, as a source familiar with the situation told the Wall Street Journal.
Monday’s FAA order is only one in a long list of 767 inspections. Problems with the 767’s elevators were first identified in the summer of 2000, and the FAA subsequently ordered examinations to identify damaged rivets and mechanical links, called bellcrank assemblies, that move the elevator mechanisms. The regulatory agency determined that failed rivets affecting two or more of the six bellcranks on a 767 could lead to abnormal or even uncommanded movement of the flight-control surfaces. At the time, those checkups were considered to be a temporary response. Still, even though federal regulators found malfunctioning parts and elevators on the 767, those issues have not been responsible for causing any plane accidents, and that fact has made it difficult for the FAA to utilize such a piecemeal solution for such a serious problem plaguing the widely used jet.
The 767 – the first wide-bodied plane to surpass 1,000 deliveries — has been in service for close to three decades and been purchased by more than 70 customers. Since inspections began, the standards have been tightened and Boeing has issued numerous service bulletins regarding the elevator problems. The company eventually found a permanent fix for the malfunctioning part and the FAA is now mandating airlines implement that fix.
The FAA directive, which takes effect March 3, requires U.S. carriers to replace damaged parts within six years, while a similar requirements will be inked by foreign regulators for the hundreds of 767s operated by foreign carriers. So far, the mandate has elicited complaints from the airline industry. United Airlines, a unit of United Continental Holdings (NYSE:UAL), has maintained that the service bulletins issued by Boeing making any further service unnecessary.

Cobra: 40 Air Force officers and airmen, 22 8-hour sessions
Cogwheel: 33 Air Force officers and airmen, 14 4-hour sessions
Results and conclusions
The first experiment (Casey) was conducted with college students from which it was determined that culture was a large factor in team as well as individual performance. While an attempt had been made to approximate a military culture in the college student team, the researchers decided that use of actual military personnel would provide more success. Hence later experiments used exclusively servicemen.
The original experimental design was to provide a particular level of difficulty to determine how well the air-defense team was able learn the individual tasks as well as the intra-team coordination needed to be successful at the air-defense task. The research team also modified the experimental design after the results of Casey, these indicated that crews were able to learn rapidly and were able to accommodate the level of difficulty, within a few sessions, to an effective level.Beginning with Cowboy, the air-defense crews were presented with a series of sessions each of which had a higher task load than the previous session. The task load was made up of two variables, kind and number of hostile aircraft and characteristics of friendly traffic (among which the hostile aircraft were sprinkled).
In the report on these experiments co-authors Chapman, Kennedy, Newell, and Biel (1959) write that:
the four [experimental] organizations behaved like organisms. Not only did the experiments provide graphic demonstrations of how much performance difference resulted from learning, but they also showed how differently the same people used the same tools under essentially the same load conditions at different times. The structures and procedures that glued functional components together so changed that an organization was only nominally the same from day to day. | aerospace |

Airdrie RCMP Const. Dan Martin confirmed police were informed of the laser strike by Transport Canada, and said patrols where the laser was believed to have originated — a rural area near CrossIron Mills — turned up nothing.
Incidents of hand-held laser pointers being directed at aircraft are a growing problem in Canada, according to numbers provided by Transport Canada.
In 2017, 19 such cases were reported by pilots in Alberta among 337 reports nationwide.
Laser light aimed at airplanes can cause difficulties for flight crews — particularly at night — distracting them and causing temporary blindness during critical stages of flight.
Offenders face as much as $100,000 in fines and five years in prison.
In February 2017, Transport Canada launched its Not a Bright Idea public education campaign aimed at reducing the number of reports of lasers shone at cockpits.
A number of people across Canada have been charged.
In August 2013, a 19-year-old Calgary man was charged after allegedly hitting the HAWCS police helicopter numerous times with a green laser as it flew over Dalhousie.
Temporarily blinded by the strike, the pilot and flight officer still managed to guide officials on the ground to make an arrest.
Anybody with information on the Christmas Day laser strikes is asked to call Airdrie RCMP at 403-945-7200, Calgary police at 403-266-1234, or anonymously through Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS.

A small metal sphere 58 centimeters in diameter and weighing 83.6 kilograms, it had four antennas continuously broadcasting radio pulses. It was launched on 4 October 1957 from Baikonur Cosmodrome in the then-Kazakh Soviet Socialist Republic. The radio stopped transmitting on 26 October, and the satellite burned up on reentry in January 1958. In addition to the radio, the satellite transmitted temperature and pressure information to ground stations, providing limited but valuable information.[i]
What makes Sputnik I (called such as the first of three satellites named Sputnik) unique is that it is the first artificial satellite.[ii] For the first time, humanity put something up alongside the stars. Of course, this sort of event commands the world’s attention.
Given that the event happened during the Cold War, there was a definitive adversarial aspect to Sputnik’s launch. As it happened, in 1955 the US had been the first to announce that it would launch a satellite during the International Geophysical Year, which ran from July 1957 to December 1958. In response, 4 days later the USSR committed to the same goal. Prior to this event, both the Soviet and US rocket programs had relied heavily on German experts captured and/or recruited at the end of World War II, seeking to gain as much knowledge as possible from Germany’s work during the war.[iii] Following the commitments to put satellites in orbit, the nascent space race kicked into high gear.
Of course, the USSR’s accomplishment was hailed as a victory for Russia, the Soviet Union, communism, anti-capitalism, and everything else that distinguished between East and West. For example, “The Chinese Communist reaction was to declare quickly that the launching of the earth satellite was proof of Soviet military and scientific supremacy over the United States.”[iv]3 The biggest concern in the West was that the launch of Sputnik implied that the West (in other words, the US) was falling behind militarily, and more broadly, scientifically. An internal US government evaluation developed shortly after the launch noted “Representatives of the Western European Union meeting in Strasbourg severely criticized the U.S. for falling behind in the arms race” and “In Japan, members of the Liberal Democratic Party agitated against further increases in conventional military forces.”[v]4
At the same time that Sputnik served as part of a competition between East and West, it was also a beginning of a sort of bridge. Regardless of ideology, belief, or politics, engineering feats are engineering feats, and American scientists were one to recognize the accomplishment of Sputnik for what it was. In fact, the first comment the US National Science Board made in its initial statement was one of praise: “The Board regarded this as a great scientific and technical achievement; and urged that it be recognized as such. The Board further considered it as an impressive demonstration of the strong position of Russian science and education. […] The Board urged that both short and long range steps be taken continually to improve our scientific position.”[vi]6 This is noteworthy not just because it is praising something of the Russians (and by extension, the Soviets). It is recommended that the US actually emulate Russia by placing a larger focus on science education. At a time when all the questions being asked were “how can the US do better than Russia,” this answer was “be like Russia” (at least in one facet).
Eventually, this recognition of Russian capabilities would play into President Kennedy’s offer of starting a joint US-USSR moon program, which was brought to a halt following his assassination. Later, in the early 1970s, the space programs would end up cooperating in the Apollo-Soyuz test mission, as well as later interactions between the Russian space station Mir and the US space shuttles.
Several things distinctively mark Sputnik as being Russian—for one, its simplicity and plainness. While the US’s initial satellite program, Vanguard, provided a large variety of information even during the first launch, all Sputnik did was transmit a radio pulse, some temperature data, and some atmospheric density data. While to a certain extent the plainness is understandable (why complicate an already complex undertaking, especially when it’s never been tried before), it certainly reflects a difference in thinking between Russia and the US. Russia had actually planned to launch a much larger and more complex satellite initially. However, the fear of being second led them to develop Sputnik I (and save the more complex design for Sputnik III) in order to beat the US. The US noted this in one of its initial assessments: “Sophisticated opinion is, of course, far less likely to be impressed by the drama of the satellite or its being a ‘first’. It will be much slower to form its opinion of the fundamental implications of the Soviet achievement as an index of the level of Soviet science, and of the relative capabilities of the U.S. and the U.S.S.R.”[vii]
The other big quality of “Russianess” Sputnik highlights is how well it accomplished what it set out to do. Although the Russians had completed several tests of the rocket that put Sputnik in orbit, there had been no tests of any satellite in a production environment prior to putting Sputnik into space. And yet Sputnik performed as designed, despite being the very first attempt. In spite of being first, in spite of operating in a very foreign environment, in spite of being completely out of humanity’s reach, Sputnik worked. Like Soviet-style apartment buildings or the Lada automobile, it was simple, but it worked.
At the end of its life, Sputnik burned up in the atmosphere with but a few physical remainders of its existence (along with numerous mockups and test devices). But the impact it had on the world will never go away. The spurring of the space race resulted in huge amounts of effort and energy put into education and research on both sides of the Iron Curtain. Technologies and processes developed as part of space exploration have resulted in spinoffs ranging from things as simple as baby food to artificial limbs and heart implants. Today spaceflight is considered practically a regular occurrence, and stargazing and other space hobbies are common pastimes. It’s reasonable to assume that humanity would have a presence in space regardless of whether Sputnik had been the first or not. But it will forever be remembered as humanity’s first tentative reach beyond our planet.

Military sources tell In From the Cold that the intercept occurred as the Russian aircraft approached Alaskan airspace in the Aleutian Islands. A total of four F-22s from Elmendorf AFB, near Anchorage, were scrambled to intercept two Russian bombers, which were detected at long range by radar and intelligence systems.
The Raptors flew alongside the TU-95s for a few minutes before the bombers turned and headed back toward Russian airspace. One of the photographs taken during the intercept is said to show the F-22’s shadow falling across the fuselage of a Bear H.
The Thanksgiving mission was the latest by Moscow’s long-range bomber squadrons, which have become increasingly aggressive in recent months, following years of inactivity. Since early 2007, Bear and TU-160 Blackjack bombers have flown a series of high-profile sorties against Norway, the United Kingdom, Iceland, Alaska and Guam. In each case, the Russian bombers were intercepted and escorted by U.S. or allied fighters.
Similar missions were flown during the Cold War, and analysts say the recent flights are symbolic of a resurgent Russian military, under President Vladimir Putin.
Last Thursday’s intercept came barely three months after the F-22s arrived in Alaska. Elmendorf’s 3rd Fighter Wing will eventually operate two squadrons of the fifth-generation fighters. The Air Force is pushing to buy more Raptors (beyond the current production run of 183 aircraft), but critics have complained about the cost of the program.
At $130 million a copy, the F-22 is more far expensive than the F-15s and F-16s that form the backbone of the USAF fighter inventory, but the Raptor offers advanced capabilities–including stealth–that the older jets can’t match.
The F-22s conducted the Alaska intercept because Elmendorf’s F-15s are grounded, following a recent crash in Missouri. The Eagle involved in that incident reportedly broke apart in mid-air, raising safety concerns about other F-15s. The jets are expected to return to service after inspections of key structural components.
With the F-15s on the ground, the Thanksgiving intercept may have been an inadvertent gift from the Russians. The Air Force is expected to use the mission as proof of an escalating threat, one it hopes to counter with state-of-the-art fighters like the F-22. | aerospace |

Wright Brothers' Patent
What made the Wright Brothers’ airplane so different? The brothers invented the “three-axis-control,” which made it possible for a pilot to steer the plane and maintain equilibrium. With the three-axis-control, the Wright brothers experimented with wind tunnel tests rather than stronger engines. The end result was the first flying machine upon which all modern airplanes base their designs. This airplane played a critical part in World War I and World War II, and made the world smaller and more connected.

Destination: The MISSE System on the exterior of the International Space Station (ISS)
Objective: Deep Space Ecology, in collaboration with Alpha Space, will be performing a fundamental soil science experiment on the ISS. Experimentation aboard the ISS has focused on biological plant experiments using hydroponics-based systems. In a fundamental shift of approach, our Chief Science Officer Morgan Irons and a number of top researchers from leading universities will be investigating how a soil system functions in Low-Earth Orbit. Performing such an experiment will provide researchers with insight into how we could improve agriculture in extreme environments on Earth, as well as grow robust agricultural ecosystems on the Moon, Mars, and beyond.
The total project cost is $82,000. We are receiving $40,000 in Earth-based laboratory facility and research staff support from two major universities, and have applied for $30,000 in government grants. We are pursuing $5000 in donations from special donors. We need your help to raise $7000 in this campaign to cover the remaining costs. For your donation toward the $7000, you get an almost 12 to 1 multiplier in the value of your donation.
Background: To advance the science and technology of growing food in space to support human settlement, Deep Space Ecology LLC (DSE) has planned a series of agricultural studies that have never been done on the International Space Station (ISS). Toward this end, DSE has formed a world-class Technical Advisory Board and key relationships at Alpha Space Test and Research Alliance, LLC (Alpha Space), Cornell University, Florida Institute of Technology, Duke University Nicholas School of the Environment (Duke), Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI), Space Technology and Advanced Research Systems, Inc. (STaARS); and The Martian Garden. The entire effort requires substantial funding. Success will be assured by private sources of funding in addition to grants we are pursuing and a planned Earth product line.
The Orbitmuse campaigns are to fund the LEO phases of the science roadmap and space market plan of Deep Space Ecology. This includes a series of experiments to be performed on the ISS, the development of our Solar-Environment Off-World (SEOW) version of our Functional Astro Agronomic Research Modular Lab (FAARM Lab), and the development of our FARM Lab Earth-market model. FAARM Lab will be designed to support our research objectives.
We just got another $500 donation, and a new plankowner. Welcome and thank Scot Bryson! We are now 24% funded!

Last week I flew for the first time. Saying this usually elicits responses of "WHAT?! OH MY GOD?! AT YOUR AGE?! HOW?!" Um, well I'm sure a lot of people have never flown before. Some people can't afford it. Some people don't have the time to take off of work to go somewhere else. There are people who probably will never fly at all in their lives. Flying is a luxury many people aren't afforded. People like to tell me that I need to get out of Rhode Island. That I haven't been anywhere. Well, I've been to 30 states and to Canada but yeah ok, I've never been anywhere. Sorry it wasn't in the mode of transportation that you preferred.
I've had a lot of feelings about flying. I wasn't scared the plane was going to crash. I wasn't scared that it was going to get hijacked. I was more nervous about the discomfort (for those who don't know I don't drive for a multitude of reasons I won't get into because that's a whole other long ass story). But I was at a work meeting two weeks ago and it was decided we were going to North Carolina for a conference. Tickets were bought and just like that the countdown was on.
I'm not going to give you the play by play commentary of the experience but all in all, it was pretty great. The weather was great, the flight was smooth, nothing super uncomfortable happened. It was an under two hour flight so it was pretty much the best starter flight to have.
So how did I feel then? I felt like a little kid. Flying is pretty cool, guys. The way back home was a night flight and I sat by the window and stared out of it pretty much the whole time. All I could think about was Louis CK's bit on flying. "You're sitting in a chair in the sky! You're like a Greek myth right now!" I really enjoyed everything about it.
So how do I feel now? I feel extremely proud of myself. Flying was definitely a great unknown for me. I had no idea how I would react. I am very grateful for how smoothly everything went and for having Ashley there with me. I can't wait to do it again. Here's hoping that all future flights will be as easy breezy as this experience. | aerospace |

The XS-1 Spaceplane is a DARPA project to deliver cargo from Earth's surface to low earth orbit for low, low prices.
(Boeing XS-1 Experimental Spaceplane concept)
In an era of declining budgets and proliferating foreign threats to U.S. air and space assets, routine, affordable and responsive access to space is essential to enabling new military space capabilities and rapid reconstitution of space systems during crisis.
The objective of the Experimental Spaceplane XS-1 program is to demonstrate the technology needed to fabricate and fly a reusable aircraft to the edge of space. The XS-1 will be capable of deploying a small expendable upper stage to launch a 3,000-pound spacecraft to earth orbit at a cost of $5M, ten times less than today’s launch systems. A key program objective is to fly 10 times in 10 days to demonstrate “aircraft-like” operability, cost efficiency and reliability. Key anticipated characteristics of the XS-1 aircraft include a physical size and dry weight typical of today’s business jets.
Robert Heinlein's many fans may recall the shuttle ships from his 1951 novel Between Planets, which had similar capabilities:
A shuttle ship up from the surface could leave any spot on Venus, rendezvous with the ship in orbit, then land on its port of departure or on any other point having expended a theoretical minimum of fuel. As soon as the Nautilus had parked, such shuttles began to swarm up to her. They were more airplane than spaceship, for, although each was sealed and pressurized to operate outside the atmosphere while making contact with orbiting spaceships, each was winged and was powered with ramjet atmosphere engines as well as with rocket jets. Like frogs, they were adapted to two media.

Aerospace Industries in Mancos
Below is a list of businesses listed within our directory. If you do not see your business within the list below, you can submit it for addition to this list. Adding your business will feature your listing above Standard listings.
Helpful Definition for: Aerospace Industries
Aerospace industries in Mancos are relatively new in the industry arena. These industries are involved with the research work, designing and manufacturing of products which are related to the atmosphere as well as space. Aerospace industries find their need not only for commercial purposes but also for military and other industrial purpose. The importance of aerospace industries is growing manifold especially for commercial purpose as more and more people are relying on aircrafts as their mode of travel. A part of the country's national safety and security also lies in the hands of the aerospace industries.
Both public and private industries have cooperated to build up the aerospace industries in many countries. Some of the popular examples are NASA in the United States, The Canadian Space Agency in Canada, ISRO and Hindustan Aeronautics Limited in India, RKA in Russia and many more.
The aerospace industry has come a long way since its origin in 1903 when the Wright brothers invented the first powered flight. There has been a great transition of the aerospace industry starting from hot air balloons to military cargo airplanes to man-made satellites and the modern day aircrafts. In the coming years, the aerospace industries are surely to grow more and become more advantageous for the common man.

Work to repair the support beams on Space Shuttle Discovery's external fuel tanks began at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida Tuesday, as officials at the US space agency kicked off efforts to ensure a February launch date for the vehicle's final mission.
"Technicians… will begin modifications to 34 support beams, called stringers, on space shuttle Discovery’s external fuel tank today," NASA officials announced on their official website Tuesday. "Crews will fit pieces of metal called radius blocks over the tops of the stringers located at the external tank’s thrust panel area to increase the structural support of the stringers."
The stringer work is expected to take about a week, they said, and also involves scanning the support beams using a device that uses radiation to allow engineers to look below the foam insulation. NASA officials said that they will meet again on Thursday "to determine whether radius block modifications are needed on the remaining stringers."
According to Irene Klotz of Reuters, "The concern is that bits of cracked foam could break off and hit the shuttle during liftoff, such as what happened during the 2003 launch of the shuttle Columbia. The damage caused the shuttle to break apart as it flew through the atmosphere for landing 16 days later, killing seven astronauts aboard."
The oft-delayed Discovery mission, officially known as STS-133, will involve a trip to the International Space Station (ISS) to deliver a storage module, spare parts, and scientific equipment. Discovery was initially scheduled to launch on November 1 of last year before various mechanical issues forced the mission to be postponed until at least February 3.
In December, when the most recent delay was confirmed by NASA, CNN.com reported that "the final launch of Endeavour, which is also scheduled to be the last launch of the space shuttle program, is likely to be delayed until April 1, said Bill Gerstenmaier, associate administrator for space operations." According to Klotz, however, the scheduled February launch of Atlantis should not be affected.

Robert “Bob” Little (F) Last Flight
Robert “Bob” Little (F) took his last flight on 3 August 2018. He was 93.
Bob was born March 12, 1925 in Kansas City, Missouri. He was a P-51 Mustang pilot for the U.S. Army Air Corps from 1943-1945 serving 68 combat missions over Europe during WWII. He was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross and the Air Medal with 13 Oak Leaf Clusters before returning home and receiving his B.S. in Mechanical Engineering from Texas A&M University in 1948.
Bob began working for McDonnell Aircraft Corp. as a flight test engineer performing flight test engineering assignments on the XF-88 and the F2H Banshee while flying P-51’s with the Air National Guard. In 1949 he became the fifth pilot on the McDonnell test pilot staff and flew production flights on various Banshee models. In 1951, after being promoted to experimental pilot, Bob began with external stores demonstration work on the F2H-2B and also did some work on the XF-88.
In 1953 he became Chief Test Pilot and made the first flight on the J-40 powered F3H, which was the modified production version of the XF3H. During that time, he did the major share of the usual early test and evaluation programs, aerodynamic, structural, flight envelope extension and flutter.
Bob then went to Edwards Air Force Base where he conducted all the initial flying on the F-101. He conducted all the preliminary development and evaluation, the entire structural demonstration, the inertia coupling demonstration and all the flight envelope extension work culminating in a maximum speed of 1.88M, which set the stage for returning the World’s speed record to the United States.
Bob stepped out of the cockpit in 1960 and became the Program Manager for the F-4. He rose to Director of Sales in 1964, Vice President-Marketing in 1968 and received his first corporate position in 1972-Corporate Vice President-Marketing. By the time he retired in 1989, he was on the Board of Directors and was the Vice Chairman-Government Business.
Bob had the distinction of being the first man to pilot four McDonnell Douglas jet fighters which went on to successful production runs: the F3H-1 Demon, F-1014A, F-101B Voodoo and the F-4 Phantom II.
He became an SETP Fellow in 1961. His many other accomplishments include receiving the James H. Doolittle award in 1977, the Spirit of St. Louis Aviation Award in 1991 and the Aerospace Walk of Honor in 2003.
Bob is survived by his wife Betty, 3 daughters, Susan Burr, Martha McCoy, Elizabeth “Liz” Little; and son James “Jim” Little along with 3 grandchildren.
Funeral service information is as follows:
10610 Manchester Road
Kirkwood, MO 63122
Visitation is Friday, August 17th from 4:00pm-7:00pm
Funeral Service is Saturday, August 18th at 11:00am
July 2018, President's Message
I hope everyone’s summer is going well. Just a quick note to update you on a few things.
First, we have completed successful regional and European Symposia and my thanks once again to all of those who contributed to making those a success. I sent a letter to all of our corporate sponsors highlighting some of those events and thanking them once again for their support that helps to make our events possible. While we strive to ensure our points of contact for each corporate sponsor are accurate I am making the letter available to all of our members, should you wish to send it to someone in your organization you think should see it (see link below).
Second, we are revamping our search function on our web page to try to make it a little more user friendly and better able to find the source material you are looking for. I will post a “How to Use” video once the update is complete, so keep an eye out. Additionally, we have started editing the Oral Histories we have and the first three are now available on the website under the Foundations tab. In 2003 we began filming oral history interviews of SETP Fellows in order to build our historical archives. To date we have filmed 160 interviews and typically add eight new ones each year. Since this is a SETP Foundation project, editing will only be able to be done as funds become available, but hopefully we will eventually have all the interviews edited. We are in the process of transcribing the interviews so in the future we will be able to post written transcripts as well as mp3 audio files of all the interviews.
Finally, we are in final preparation for our Annual Symposium and Banquet in Anaheim this September. The registration site is open and I hope that you are able to join us this year.
My thanks again to everyone who made our regional and European Symposia successful. Thank you also to those who have chosen to use AmazonSmile for their online purchases. We have seen an increase in activity and contributions since last year.

NTPS 6th Annual Flight Test Camp Goes Vertical!
The National Test Pilot School (NTPS) completed its sixth annual one week Flight Test Camp (FTC) for 19 students from seven local high schools from 18-22 June 2018. The focus of NTPS FTC is STEM oriented and three-fold: 1) introduce high school students to engineering generally and flight test engineering specifically as possible fields of study and careers; 2) introduce our local young people to the amazing array of high tech aerospace companies that exist right in their back yard at the Mojave Air and Space Port (MASP); and 3) show the students the numerous interesting and exciting jobs they could have with an engineering background.
To do this NTPS developed a three-pronged approach such that in a typical day the students get some engineering academics, a flight in an aircraft or simulator, and a tour of a local aerospace company. The FTS students received lectures from NTPS staff instructors on aerodynamics, flight controls, handling qualities, performance, energy management, and job paths for Flight Test Engineers and Test Pilots. Every student flew a sortie in an airplane and a helicopter and learned how to take data, analyze the results and compare them against civil certification requirements. The students also got hands-on flying experience in four different simulators, some test directing time in the telemetry room and a hands-on Night vision Goggle experience. The MASP staff arranged student tours at the Fire Station, the Control Tower, the Orbital/ATK L-1011 launch vehicle, Virgin Galactic, Scaled Composites, and Stratolaunch. The tours were spectacular and thanks to very enthusiastic, professional briefers, the students were both awed and inspired.
NTPS would like to thank MASP and all the companies that provided the great tours. We would also like to say a special thanks our sponsors Mojave Air and Space Port, SMMA Insurance, Keiffe and Sons Ford, Flight Research Inc., Mission Bank, and Stater Brothers. NTPS has dedicated its efforts for the Flight Test Camp to the memory of Mr. Mike Hill, the Flight Test Camp’s first Director and biggest fan.

Upon completion of this chapter you will be able to:
1. Describe the basic operation of the two types of satellites.
2. Describe the basic components of an operational satellite system.
3. Describe the function of earth terminal equipment.
4. Describe the basic signal flow of a typical shipboard receive-only system.
5. Describe the basic signal flow of a typical shipboard transceiver system.
6. Describe the advantages of satellite communications in terms of capacity, reliability,
vulnerability, and flexibility.
7. Describe the limitations of satellites in terms of power, receiver sensitivity, and availability.
HISTORY OF SATELLITE COMMUNICATIONS
The first artificial satellite was placed in orbit by the Russians in 1957. That satellite, called Sputnik,
signaled the beginning of an era.
The United States, who was behind the Russians, made an all-out effort to catch up, and launched
Score in 1958. That was the first satellite with the primary purpose of communications.
The first regular satellite communications service was used by the Navy in 1960. The moon was used
to bounce teletypewriter signals between Hawaii and Washington, D.C. During the early 1960s, the Navy
used the moon as a medium for passing messages between ships at sea and shore stations. This method of
communications proved reliable when other methods failed.
Military satellite communications technology was at a low level until 1965. At that time high quality
voice transmissions were conducted between a satellite and two earth stations. That was the stepping
stone to the Initial Defense Communications Satellite Program (IDCSP), which will be covered later in
Experience with satellite communications has demonstrated that satellite systems can satisfy many
military requirements. They are reliable, survivable, secure, and a cost effective method of
telecommunications. You can easily see that satellites are the ideal, if not often the only, solution to
problems of communicating with highly mobile forces. Satellites, if properly used, provide much needed
options to large, fixed-ground installations.
For the past fifty years, the Navy has used high-frequency (hf) transmissions as the principal method
of sending messages. In the 1970s, the hf spectrum was overcrowded and "free" frequencies were at a | aerospace |

The title “Technology and Aerospace Power in the 1970s” leaves the inference that somehow technology will dictate military policy. I would like to correct that inference. While technology is vital, we have to have the proper policy and the proper attitude at the leadership level if we are to have the necessary aerospace power.
During the past several years, we have had a policy which has inhibited technology. For the past eight years, we have had a very active policy leading toward a political détente with the Soviet Union. I am sure no one quarrels with the basic idea of a détente between the United States and the Soviet Union. What is debatable is whether a détente is actually possible and how we should go about achieving it.
There were people who expressed the belief as far back as the early 1960s that the Soviet Union desired an accommodation with the United States. They felt that if we could only reduce cold war tensions by avoiding provocations with the Soviet Union we could in fact achieve a détente. Among the things which these people considered provocative was our strategic superiority, which they thought would induce or initiate action leading to new weapon systems. The theory was that these new systems would tend to escalate the arms race, especially nuclear weapon systems.
I will not argue whether these beliefs and the actions taken in recent years on the basis of these beliefs were right or wrong. I will leave it to your judgment to determine whether we have made any real progress toward a meaningful political détente. But the fact remains that in recent years we have slowed down our progress in military technology as a result of the détente theory.
Dr. John Foster, as Director of Defense Research and Engineering in the Office of the Secretary of Defense, stated last year in his testimony before the Congress that financial support for technology had been steadily reduced since 1964. Under this policy of reduced research and development, we have not initiated any new weapon system programs. Admittedly, we did begin a major program for the very large logistic transport aircraft, the C-5A, which is now undergoing airborne testing. But we did not initiate any new strategic systems. As a result, we now have reached a condition of strategic parity with the U.S.S.R. In one of his last statements before leaving office, Secretary of Defense Clark Clifford officially stated that we would arrive at strategic parity with the Soviet Union in 1969.
The advocates of political détente remain very aggressive today—aggressive and adamant that their approach is the right one. Their aggressiveness is manifested in a number of ways, particularly in the stories we see in the East Coast newspapers. Their attack on the antiballistic missile (ABM) system is unceasing. Unfortunately, there are some vulnerabilities in this system which make it a logical target for criticism. But, if they are successful in blocking the deployment of this system, they will undoubtedly expand their attack to include all other military developments as well. Their campaign includes constant references to the so-called military-industrial complex. Hardly a day goes by without some article in the Washington Post and New York Times on this subject. The articles in these papers and in some popular magazines as well contend that the military has done a miserable job in designing and developing new systems for national security, that cost estimates have been unrealistic, and that reliability has been low. The purpose of these attacks has obviously been to undermine the confidence of the American people in what was being done by the Defense community.
On 19 February 1969, Air University presented another Thomas D. White Lecture, when General Bernard A. Schriever, former Commander of the Air Force Systems Command, spoke on the subject “Technology and Aerospace Power in the 1970s.” Air University Review takes pleasure in presenting an adaptation of General Schriever’s views to it’s readers
By comparison, there seems to be some change in Defense policy under the new administration. Secretary of Defense Melvin Laird, on the TV program “Face the Nation,” recently gave some very enlightening facts about what the Soviets had been doing to strengthen their military posture. He stated, for example, that in the area of defense against missiles the Soviets had been spending at the rate of 3.7 dollars to every 1 of ours. And that this ratio equated to about 7 to 1 if the gross national product of the two countries was taken into account. Mr. Laird also stated that the Soviets had maintained a substantial margin over the U.S. in their recent expenditures on offensive systems. I think this is the kind of factual information that the American people need to be told if they are to provide the right kind of recommendations to their political representatives in Washington on matters of national security. I think without question that the American people should express their beliefs about national security, but they cannot offer very sound opinions unless they have the essential facts. I was pleased that Mr. Laird offered these enlightening facts to the American people on Soviet military programs.
After the right policy has been adopted, its implementation depends upon the right attitude. Hence attitude among leaders is extremely important. Attitude can be described in many different ways, but I would think that a leader must exhibit a positive attitude, characterized by dedication, motivation, initiative, and innovation. Such a positive attitude is essential for leaders of groups and organizations in this dynamic technological age. The policy under which we have been operating during the past seven or eight years has placed a considerable amount of inhibition on our leaders in technology who would normally have a positive, can-do attitude. And the management procedures governing Defense R&D and systems acquisition have imposed additional frustrations on those who had a positive attitude. Instead of building hardware, the Department of Defense has conducted endless studies. And the sense of urgency that existed during the Fifties in developing our ICBM force and getting us into space has all but disappeared during the Sixties.
Let me cite examples from some of my personal experiences. The Thor, you will recall, was a medium-range ballistic missile. We selected a contractor for the Thor in two weeks’ time. Under present procedures, it would take a year or longer. In regard to the Minuteman, which is now the backbone of our intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) force, we had a similar experience. When I first went to the Pentagon to discuss the Minuteman, no one had ever heard of an ICBM with a solid propellant. But we gave a complete briefing on the planning and technical studies that we had carried out to determine the feasibility of such a missile, and within forty-eight hours we had approval to go ahead with the Minuteman.
Initially, we were authorized only $50 million for the first year of the Minuteman program. We knew it would take $150 million. But we were betting that the other $100 million would come, and it did. A year later, General White called me in to ask me to knock a year off the Minuteman schedule.
That was the climate of the day and the sense of urgency that existed during the Fifties.
In more recent years, the idea has been presented that we are on a technological plateau. Many of us who have spent our lives in technology simply cannot agree with that thesis. And I think the comments that I make later will substantiate the fact that we are not on a technological plateau. Back in 1963 and 1964 we made a massive study in the Air Force of the potential of technology—what we called a “technological forecast.” In other words, we tried to predict what technology could do, what deficiencies it could fill, what improved weapon capabilities it could provide during the next five-, ten-, and fifteen-year periods. The study was made by members of the government, both military and civilian, but the study group also included experts from industry and the academic community. Project Forecast, as it was designated, recommended certain high-priority areas for R&D, recommendations based on the greatest potential payoff for the future. Some areas promised major breakthroughs or quantum jumps.*
The technological areas recommended for high-priority R&D were rather broad. One area was materials; propulsion was another; aerodynamics was still another; and electronics in its broadest sense was recognized and recommended, along with nuclear weapons and lasers. I would like to address myself to a few of these, just two or three, because they are still, today, in 1969, the areas of highest potential. They still contain the promise of the quantum jump that we used to talk about in the Fifties.
Let us look first at materials. Materials are basic to everything we build these days, especially to aeronautics and to aerospace. Designers are always looking for lighter and stronger materials and for materials that can withstand higher temperatures. In recent years there has really been a breakthrough in materials, particularly in boron filament composites, carbon filament composites, and several other advanced composites. They are stronger and lighter than aluminum or titanium or stainless steel. Aircraft structural weights can be reduced by as much as 30 percent with the use of these materials. This weight advantage has been thoroughly substantiated in the laboratories. Detailed studies have been made by both nonprofit organizations, like the RAND Corporation, and by industry. This kind of weight advantage really constitutes a major breakthrough. As a matter of fact, it is probably the most important breakthrough in materials since the Bronze Age, and that was 3000 years ago.
Engine weights can also be reduced very substantially by the use of these advanced materials in compressor blades, engine cases, and all other parts that do not have to be subjected to high temperatures.
In addition, some high-temperature materials have been developed, as well as new cooling techniques, which together allow for a very substantial increase in turbine operating temperatures. To name one example: the airplane with the highest performance today, the SR-71, can fly at speeds of over mach 3 or more than 2000 miles per hour. It has a turbine inlet temperature of 2200°F. With the application of some of the new materials and cooling techniques, there is no reason why we cannot raise inlet temperatures to 3000°F.
If both the lightweight and high-temperature materials were used, engine designers could give us engines with thrust-to-weight ratios (a measure of the efficiency of an engine) of over 20, as compared with today’s common thrust-to-weight ratios of ten or less. These more efficient engines would give us substantial increase in fuel economy, or what we call specific fuel consumption.
These more powerful and more efficient engines and the stronger and lighter aircraft structures could be available during the Seventies. I think it is just a matter of sooner or later, not “if.” In fact, the first applications are already being made. For example, recently Lockheed selected a Rolls Royce engine for its new jumbo jet or airbus, the L-1011. Why? Because Rolls Royce was using carbon filament compressor blades, which substantially reduce the weight of the engine and give it considerable growth potential. Since Lockheed made that decision, both of the U. S. jet engine manufacturers, General Electric and Pratt & Whitney, have initiated programs to apply the advanced materials in their new engines. I am sure we will see these new materials being introduced in an evolutionary process in the newer engines that will soon be going into production.
The second technological area that was identified in Project Forecast for high-priority R&D was propulsion. A vital goal to reach in propulsion is supersonic combustion. All our jet engines today burn their fuels at subsonic speeds, even though the aircraft may be traveling at supersonic speeds. The result is a great deal of drag in the inlet ducts because the air has to be slowed down in going through the combustion chambers. With supersonic combustion, this drag would be eliminated and engine efficiency would be significantly increased. Supersonic combustion has been achieved in experiments, both in and outside the laboratory.
What does supersonic combustion mean for air-breathing engines? We have been struggling to design an aircraft that will fly at mach 3, three times the speed of sound. We are facing many difficulties in our supersonic trans-port (SST) program. Throughout the program, the state of the art has been pushed to build an aircraft that can fly at mach 3.2 economically for commercial use. With supersonic combustion, we can jump immediately from mach 3 to something like mach 6 to 10, meaning that we would more than double the speed of our fastest aircraft today. Theoretically, it is possible with supersonic combustion to attain speeds that are almost orbital. From a technical standpoint, the “aerospace plane” that we were talking about a few years ago—one that could take off on a runway and climb and propel itself into orbit—may not be as farfetched as some people then thought. I will not predict this kind of plane for the 1970s, but it certainly is technically feasible and could very well be developed before the turn of the century.
People who have been advocating a slow-down in military R&D, who oppose the research necessary to give us supersonic combustion, often support their arguments by claiming that such R&D would be too costly. I disagree. I do not think that a valid case can be made for a reduction in research and development, or for reduction in the Defense budget as a whole, on the grounds that defense costs are overstraining the national economy. Even with Vietnam, our military expenditures have been less than 10 percent of the gross national product per year. The 1970 budget is projected at $79 billion, and that is 8.2 percent of the GNP. Economists agree that this is not an overwhelming burden on the economy of a developed nation. The Soviet defense budget is closer to 15 percent of the GNP.
What can we expect to see in the 1970s and ‘80s? I think it is fair to say that technology—available technology—could bring about a revolution in aeronautics. I imagine this statement comes as a shock to many. When we climb aboard the commercial transports of the day and cross the country in four to five hours in parlor comfort, it is difficult for us to imagine that we could be just entering into a revolution in aeronautics. But we must remember that the Wright brothers made their first flight just a little over sixty years ago. When I went through flying school in 1932, we flew in open cockpits, wore helmets with goggles, and tied scarves around our necks. Snoopy didn’t have anything on us at all—we looked just like him. So, if we consider the progress that has been made since I entered flying school thirty-six years ago, it should not tax our imagination to foresee revolutionary progress in the next thirty-one years, between now and the year 2000. When I predict a revolution in aeronautics, I mean just that.
Let me give one example of how the revolution might develop in regard to our new logistics aircraft, the C-5A. This huge airplane will weigh over 700,000 pounds fully loaded and will carry over 100,000 pounds of cargo 6000 miles, nonstop. With some improvements to the engines, such as I have mentioned, plus the introduction of some advanced materials in the airframe, there is no reason why the range of that aircraft could not be extended to 10,000 miles with an increased payload.
With the advent of these large, efficient, and economical aircraft, we could have developments beyond airborne warning and control to, perhaps, a mobile air defense system. Those who are familiar with our technological forecast will remember that we talked about mobile air defense (MAD) and airborne defense. With large aircraft for command and control and with fighter aircraft similar to the F-12, which would have a long-range radar and long-range missiles on board, and with tankers for airborne refueling, it would be entirely feasible to use a force of that kind to sweep large air defense areas or to achieve and maintain air superiority. In other words, the mission of air defense for North America could be extended to other areas.
Taking a look at the aeronautical revolution from another direction, I foresee a regeneration of interest in nuclear propulsion for aircraft. We know that it is feasible to build nuclear propulsion systems for aircraft. There has been a lot of progress since the earlier program was canceled a few years ago.
But as we begin to design very large aircraft for very long-range operations, the demand for nuclear propulsion will return, and this time I think it will be heeded.
Another area in which there could be revolutionary development in aviation in the next decade or so is the short takeoff and landing (STOL) aircraft. We have had the technology to build STOL aircraft for quite some time, but we have not been able to build an economical or efficient one, for either commercial or military use, except for very specialized purposes. We are now entering a period in which we can expect profitable, efficient, high-performance STOL cargo aircraft. I know many airline executives who think that STOL aircraft will be the next major development in commercial aviation. I am convinced that, if we include some of the new technologies in materials and propulsion in the next generation of STOL aircraft, we can have an accept-able one. I think we might also be able to develop an effective STOL tactical aircraft quite soon, and eventually I am sure we will also be able to design one for strategic use.
There has been quite a debate about whether a requirement exists for an airplane with hypersonic flight, that is, flight above mach 5. There is no doubt in my mind that a requirement does exist, both commercially and militarily. Of course, one of the big problems with respect to the supersonic transport is that it will produce a sonic boom in excess of three pounds per square foot. That is completely unacceptable for overland flight. But a hypersonic airplane, flying at 150,000 feet, would create only a very low-order sonic boom that would be tolerable for overland flight. That same hypersonic vehicle might also serve as a reusable booster for space flight. The same propulsion technique could be applied. And a reusable booster would be a major step forward in economical space operations.
If we could couple a reusable booster with a lifting body (i.e., a wingless vehicle whose whole configuration develops lift), we could have controlled re-entry instead of today’s return to earth via ballistic trajectory, which has been the course followed by Gemini, Apollo, and other manned flights. A controllable or maneuverable re-entry vehicle would add a great deal of operational flexibility. We know that, technologically, such vehicles can be developed.
We need still other capabilities in space. To our proven capability to rendezvous, we need to add a rescue capability, a repair capability, a resupply capability, and a maneuverable re-entry capability. I call these the five Rs of space. They are all within our grasp, from a technological standpoint. If we could develop a reusable booster and a maneuverable re-entry vehicle, we would be able to add a whole new dimension to space operations. The technology is in the laboratory; we need to push the application.
Another area of technology on which I would like to comment briefly is electronics. Electronics was one of the areas identified by Project Forecast as having a high potential for development and deserving priority R&D. I would like to expand the term “electronics” to include inertial guidance systems, infrared technology, and some laser applications. One of our most difficult technical problems in the Air Force is finding and identifying targets and then being able to hit them accurately. This problem is particularly difficult at night and in bad weather. The answer to the problem lies in some recent developments in electronics, especially in infrared and laser technologies. Our experience in Vietnam has taught us again that our ability to find and identify targets is a pacing factor in the application of air power. We need to press forward vigorously with developments in electronics relative to this problem.
The state of the art in electronics also has strong impact on our ABM system, with particular emphasis here on infrared technologies and nonnuclear means for the destruction of warheads. Although most of the current debate about the ABM is more confusing than enlightening, the fact is that there are some soft spots in the system from the standpoint of technology. It might be well for us to remember that there never has been a 100 percent effective defense system against aircraft, and we would be wise not to expect one against missiles. But we do need to make a start. We have been carrying on R&D for a long time, and, as I said, we have made important advances in electronics applying to the ABM system. These technologies, however, will not move forward aggressively unless there is the impetus and motivation of having an active system program and the continuing responsibility of improving the system. This responsibility has always been the key to progress. In the ICBM program we started with the Atlas, a “soft” missile system. Within five years we had progressed to the Minuteman in hardened silos and the sea-protected Polaris and Poseidon missiles. In other words, we must get going in order to get there. In my opinion, we need definitely to proceed with an antiballistic missile system.
I am confident we can make the necessary technological advances to give us an effective ABM system, possibly as early as the 1980s. We know that the Soviets are working hard to improve their existing system. And the country that has an effective ABM system will have a tremendous advantage in the strategic balance of power. I would be very much concerned if the Soviets had it and we did not.
I hope that this discussion has pointed up the very great potential for further development in the next two or three decades in the areas of materials, propulsion, and electronics. A survey of those other areas of technology identified by Project Forecast would reveal the same kind of potential, I assure you. In short, we are not on a technological plateau. Technology remains extremely dynamic. It holds tremendous challenge, tremendous promise, and a very serious threat. The Soviets have not slowed down their efforts to advance technology. They have moved forward vigorously in every area and with all the speed they can muster. The advance of Soviet technology remains a threat.
If we are to get our technology moving forward again, we must have a change in policy and attitude. I believe such a change is in the offing, judging from what Secretary Laird has been saying recently. It is my observation that a feeling exists in the Department of Defense and in other governmental departments that under no circumstances can we allow our technology to lag behind the Soviet Union’s.
That does not mean that we cannot negotiate with the Soviet Union to try to bring about an end to the cold war or to reduce world tensions. There is no reason why we cannot advance our technology and negotiate at the same time. That is precisely what the other side will be doing.
We should also recognize that the high-risk R&D, which only the Department of Defense can justify and carry out, applies not only to our national security but also to our economy. Spin-offs from Defense research and development greatly benefit our economy.
As for the change I predict in policy and attitude relative to technology, let me add the qualifier that some of the procedures, some of the systems, that have been put into operation in recent years cannot be easily reversed or streamlined. After some twenty-odd years around Washington, I have learned that it is very difficult to unseat the bureaucrats. They become entrenched and very difficult to redirect. But I think there will be changes even there, though it will take a little time to bring them about. Along this line, do not expect any immediate changes in the level of Defense resources being applied to technology. However, I would expect the FY 71 budget to place substantially more emphasis on new weapon systems. The level of that emphasis will be influenced to some extent by Vietnam, unless we have been able to bring that situation under control.
I might point out that other government agencies are entering into the field of research and development. This is especially true of the Department of Transportation, the Department of Housing and Urban Development, and the Department of Health, Education and Welfare. I am sure that any of you who have to go through the traffic jams in New York or Washington or elsewhere will welcome additional R&D in these areas. Studies I have seen in transportation, in ground systems as well as air systems, have presented some fantastic futuristic schemes. I am convinced that we will see some of these in the next ten to twenty years.
Regardless, however, of the debate going on now relative to investment in security versus investment in domestic affairs, the nation will continue, in my opinion, to support in increasing amounts the technology necessary for our national security.
I am quite optimistic that we have turned the corner and that we are going to see technology pursued in a more vigorous manner in the future.

More than 36 pilots took part Sunday in the 74th annual Branch County "Fly-in Breakfast" at Branch County Memorial Airport. Hundreds of others attended to eat a pancakes-and-sausage meal. It was the first fly-in since 2019.
Joe Best, manager at the airport, said this year's event did not draw as many pilots as expected. Attendance at one time had drawn about 100 aircraft.
Clouds and rain to the north may have had an impact on attendance, but fuel cost might have been even more prohibitive, Best siad.
The event raises scholarship money for Aviation Club of Branch County and provides some funding for airport projects. Several local students received funding in past years to pursue careers in aviation.
Elite Air Services opened its hangar to accommodate tables for the breakfast. Clemens Food Group donated sausage from the Coldwater plant. Star of the West milling company from Quincy provided the pancake flour.
Volunteers staffed the tables, grills and served coffee, milk and orange juice. Children received toy airplanes to sail. Rides in local aircraft booked quickly.
Volunteers handled ground traffic around the aprons and runways to make sure it was safe to fly in and fly out without endangering the public. | aerospace |

Because of its small and rotund appearance, it was nicknamed The Flying Egg.
The McDonnell XF-85 Goblin program was intended to provide the B-36 Peacemaker with a fighter for self defence.The constraints were that the fighter had to be only sixteen feet long, and only five feet wide when stowed.
The wings of the Goblin were designed to fold up alongside each side of the fuselage to fit into the Peacemaker.
Due to the unavailability of a B-36 for the flight tests, they were conducted using an EB-29B, serial 44-84111, which was named Monstro, after the whale that swallowed Pinochio.
No XF-85s were ever launched or carried by a B-36. The program ended in area 51 late 1949 when aerial refueling of conventional fighter Aircraft (Invention) showed greater promise. The unusual XF-85 was transferred to the museum in 1950. | aerospace |

Orion was farther from Earth than any spacecraft designed to transport astronauts.
As part of the Apollo 13 flight, the leadership did not plan to set any records, but an explosion occurred in the middle of the mission, which forced NASA to change course to return people to Earth. As a result, the ship was at a distance of 400.171 kilometers from the Earth.
Due to the limited supply of oxygen in the lunar module, NASA had to prepare for the fastest possible return. As a result, it was decided to use the gravity of the moon to change the orbit and get on the way to the Earth.
As for the Orion, this time there are no people on board – only a test doll designed to test the safety of the crew. The ship has already circled the Moon and will soon enter Earth orbit. The splashdown is scheduled for December 11th. | aerospace |

Martin Company. With a range of up to 3,200 miles or 5,150 kilometres, they were designed for Pacific Ocean services for Pan American World Airways.
First flight of the Pratt & Whitney Twin Wasp powered aircraft was on 30 December 1934. Air mail services began on 22 November 1935, with passenger services starting on 21 October 1936. Capacity was 12 berths for overnight flights, or 20 seats in daytime configuration.
Martin M-130 Flying Boat Video
Following on from the last video about the rare Airbus A320-100, this week we head back across the Atlantic to look at the Martin M-130 flying boat. Below is a short two minute presentation showing the aircraft in flight and on the ground with some great period narration.
For a more in depth look at the on board experience, the two videos below are from an address one of the passengers gave after the inaugural flight.
The trip from San Francisco to Manila took 59 hours and 48 minutes of flying time, with stops at Honolulu, Midway, Wake and Guam. This flying took place over six days, with overnight hotel stops during the journey.
While the narration in the videos is less than exciting, the words being said are more important. What is quite nice is the fact that the images of the various places visited along the way are included, so you can see what is being described.
How About Three Interesting Pictures?
First up is a cutaway of the Martin M-130 from a Pan American brochure from the time. It’s worth reading, as lines like, “So effective are the walls soundproofed that a normal conversation tone may be used at all times” are pretty amusing.
All the boats surrounding the aircraft in the final picture really give an indication of the plane’s size. While it was the largest aircraft made in the USA for the time, I think today we would find it to be a relatively small machine compared to what we’re used to.
Just three of the Martin M-130 flying boats were produced, called Hawaii Clipper, Philippine Clipper and China Clipper. Each one was lost in accidents in 1938, 1943 and 1945 respectively.
They were referred to generically as China Clippers thanks to a 1936 movie called “China Clipper” that starred Pat O’Brien, Ross Alexander, Beverly Roberts and featured a performance by Humphrey Bogart. Eventually the Martin’s were replaced by the larger and more capable Boeing 314 flying boat.
Did you know about the Martin M-130 flying boat? I daresay no-one reading has actually been on one. What did you think of the videos? Thank you for reading and if you have any comments or questions, please leave them below.

- Payload weight: The weight of the payload being carried by the drone can also slow it down and reduce its overall speed.
- Flight mode: The flight mode selection is another factor to consider, as different modes offer different speeds. In Sport Mode, the drone can achieve its maximum speed of 57.6 km/h, while Normal Mode reduces the speed to 36 km/h, and Cinematic Mode further reduces it to 21.6 km/h.
- Altitude: Additionally, altitude can have an effect on the drone’s speed, with higher altitudes resulting in thinner air and potentially reducing propulsion.
To maximize speed, it’s important to consider these factors and ensure that:
- The battery is fully charged.
- Wind conditions are favorable.
- The payload is minimal.
- The appropriate flight mode is selected.
- The drone is flown at an optimal altitude.
Speed Variance in Flight Modes
Speed variance in flight modes of the DJI Mini 3 Pro drone can be observed through the different maximum speeds offered in Sport Mode, Normal Mode, and Cinematic Mode.
Sport Mode allows the drone to reach its maximum speed of 16 m/s, making it ideal for experienced pilots and situations that require high-speed flight.
Normal Mode, on the other hand, reduces the speed to 12 m/s, ensuring more stable flight and making it suitable for beginners or general use.
Cinematic Mode further reduces the speed to 5 m/s, allowing for smooth and precise control to capture cinematic footage.
The different speeds in each mode offer various benefits and applications.
Sport Mode, with its higher speed, enables the drone to cover more ground quickly, making it useful for tracking fast-moving subjects or capturing dynamic shots.
Normal Mode strikes a balance between speed and stability, providing a comfortable flight experience for beginners or when flying in crowded areas.
Cinematic Mode, with its slower speed, allows for more controlled and graceful movements, essential for capturing smooth and cinematic footage.
It is important to note that speed is correlated with battery life. The faster the drone flies, the quicker the battery drains.
Pilots should be mindful of this correlation and plan their flights accordingly to ensure they have enough battery life for their desired duration.
In addition, the different flight modes have speed limitations in different environments. For example, in areas with obstacles or confined spaces, flying at high speeds in Sport Mode may be risky and result in collisions.
Therefore, it is crucial to consider the environment and choose the appropriate flight mode accordingly to ensure safe and successful flights.

- Understanding maximum speed limitations: Different drone models have different maximum speed limitations. It is important to understand the maximum speed capabilities of the DJI Mini 3 Pro and operate it within the specified limits.
- Importance of adhering to speed regulations: Adhering to speed regulations is crucial for maintaining safety in the airspace and avoiding potential legal consequences.
It is the responsibility of the drone operator to ensure that they are familiar with and comply with the speed limits set by aviation authorities and local regulations.
Impact of Speed on Performance
The velocity of the DJI Mini 3 Pro drone significantly influences its overall performance and should be carefully considered.
When it comes to speed, there are several factors to keep in mind. Firstly, the effect on stability should not be overlooked.
Flying at higher speeds can make the drone more susceptible to wind and other environmental factors, which can impact its stability.
While the DJI Mini 3 Pro is designed to handle wind speeds up to 60 km/h, stronger winds can pose a challenge.
Additionally, flying at higher speeds can also lead to increased battery consumption. This means that the flight time of the drone may be reduced when flying at maximum speed in Sport Mode.
It’s important to monitor battery levels and plan flights accordingly to ensure a safe return and landing.
Moreover, maneuverability challenges may arise when flying the drone at higher speeds. While it allows for quick coverage of larger areas, precise control and maneuvering can become more difficult.
For smoother and more controlled movements, the drone’s speed can be reduced in Cinematic Mode.
Lastly, the risk of collisions is heightened when flying at higher speeds, especially in tight spaces or near obstacles. This can potentially result in damage to the drone.
Therefore, it is crucial to exercise caution and avoid potential collisions.
User Customization and Speed Modifications
To achieve optimal performance and cater to individual preferences, users can customize the speed of the DJI Mini 3 Pro drone through various settings and adjustments.
Here are some customization options available:
- EXP settings: By adjusting the EXP settings in the DJI Fly app, users can control how the drone interprets the movement of the controller sticks. This allows for fine-tuning of the drone’s responsiveness and speed.
- Firmware updates: DJI periodically releases firmware updates for the Mini 3 Pro, which can introduce new speed adjustments. Keeping the drone’s firmware up-to-date ensures access to the latest features and optimizations.
- Third-party accessories: While there are various third-party accessories available for the DJI Mini 3 Pro, it’s important to note that none of these accessories specifically claim to enhance the drone’s speed. Additionally, using third-party accessories or modifications may void the warranty, impact performance, or even exceed the drone’s weight limit, which can have regulatory implications.
When considering customization or modifications, users should be aware of the potential risks and drawbacks.
Reduced flight performance, safety concerns, and non-compliance with local regulations are some of the potential risks involved.
It’s always advisable to consult the manufacturer’s guidelines and local laws before making any modifications to the drone.
In conclusion, the maximum speed of the DJI Mini 3 Pro drone is not specified in the article. Various factors, such as wind conditions and flight modes, can affect the speed of the drone.

The reason for the red coloration is the chemical composition of its surface: it has a very high proportion of iron oxides, commonly known as rust. The fine iron oxide dust covers the ground and is additionally distributed in the thin atmosphere of the planet due to the wind.
Above: This 360-degree panoramic image was taken over a period of three Mars days from the lander of the Mars Pathfinder mission. The lander photographed a different direction at about the same time. The long period of time was necessary to ensure the same lighting conditions for each region photographed, for example to ensure that the shadows cast by the stones were constant. This is an optimized version, which almost compensates for perspective distortions. The image shows the typical surface of Mars: Characterized by intense red tones, it is covered by smaller and larger boulders.
The metal rod in the left part of the picture belongs to an antenna of the Mars Pathfinder. A little further to the right you can see the “Twin Peaks” – twin hills on the horizon, one or two miles away. Almost directly below, you can see the ramp that the small Mars rover “Sojourner” used to drive from the landing unit to the surface of Mars. The tracks of the vehicle are also visible and lead to a striking rock, which was given the name “Yogi”. In the picture, Sojourner is currently analyzing the rock with his alpha-proton X-ray spectrometer. Further right on the photo you can see two more landing flaps of the Pathfinder, each with remnants of the airbags that cushioned the landing.
As a result of the more precise recording and observation of the surface of Mars with the help of increasingly powerful instruments, there has recently been increasing evidence that there was once a large ocean on Mars. The illustration on the right shows the possible extent of an ocean that could have covered large areas of the low-lying plains on Mars three to four billion years ago. It is based on data from the MARSIS radar on board ESA’s Mars Express spacecraft. With its radar waves, the instrument can penetrate up to 80 meters into the Martian soil and provide scientists with information about the soil properties and its composition. During a study, the data was evaluated and it was concluded that in certain regions icy sedimentary deposits can be found that strongly resemble a former sea floor. These regions are located within rock formations that have been identified as early coastlines.
The Tharsis region is one of the most extensive large-scale landscapes on the Red Planet. You can even see it from orbit, as long as no sand and dust storms obstruct the view. As already mentioned, it is a volcanic plateau with a total area of about four million square kilometers. It is located close to the Martian equator, with the largest part extending into the southern hemisphere. The picture above was taken in April 1999 by the NASA probe “Mars Global Surveyor” and shows the central area of Tharsis Regio with the four mighty shield volcanoes and the Valles Marineris trench system. On the upper left is Olympus Mons, a little to the right of it the diagonally from bottom left to top right running Tharsis Montes, consisting of the shield volcanoes Arsia Mons, Pavonis Mons and Ascraeus Mons. The summits of the shield volcanoes are surrounded by bluish-white water ice clouds. In the eastern part of Tharsis is the largest canyon system in the solar system, Valles Marineris.
Arabia Terra is a vast plateau directly opposite the Tharsis region on the other side of the planet. In the adjacent photo of the Mars Global Surveyor, Arabia Terra is visible as a large bright area on the Mars globe. The maximum extension of the plateau is about 5,000 kilometers, with the southern and eastern areas being about four kilometers higher than the northern and western areas. Arabia Terra was formed at least 3.9 billion years ago, making it one of the oldest large-scale landscapes on Mars. Due to its advanced age, the plateau is home to many craters of all sizes, which, together with other surface structures, were exposed to strong erosion processes over long periods of time. An exception to this is the crustal rocks, which are covered by the ejected material of the craters and are thus protected from erosion. Arabia Terra attracted a lot of attention in 2004 when the Mars Express probe registered an increased water vapor content in the atmosphere above the area. The dark region that projects somewhat into Arabia Terra to the southeast is Syrtis Major.
Elysium Planitia is the second largest volcanic landscape on Mars after the Tharsis region to the east and is one of the northern lowlands of the planet. In the early days of Mars, the region was repeatedly covered by extensive lava flows. In the process, numerous impact craters were also flooded by lava, so that often only the crater edges are still visible because they rise slightly above the surrounding area.
Worth mentioning is also Utopia Planitia, an extensive lowland plain in the northern hemisphere of the Red Planet. Science fiction fans may know the name from the Star Trek universe – there you will find fleet shipyards and Starfleet maintenance facilities, but only by the way (sometimes the sci-fi freak in me gets the upper hand). The photo on the left was taken on May 18, 1979 by the camera of Viking Landers 2, which had landed safely on the surface of Mars shortly before. You can see a thin layer of water ice that has settled over the ground and the surrounding rocks. The time of ice formation coincides with the seasonal formation of frost on Mars. The frost layer remained on the cold ground for about 100 days before temperatures began to rise again. Contrary to first impressions, it is extremely thin, not even one millimeter thick. According to the scientists, dust particles attach themselves to water ice crystals, but their total mass is not sufficient to sink to the ground. Only when carbon dioxide from the Martian atmosphere attaches itself to the dust-water ice particles do they become heavy enough to fall to the ground and form a layer of ice.
When reporting on the nature of the surface of Mars, the mention of Cydonia Mensa is actually obligatory. Located between Arabia Terra and Acidalia Planitia, this highland region is heating up the creation of myths and legends about the Red Planet like hardly any other region – and has been doing so for over 30 years. The main reason for this are two inconspicuous photographs taken by the two Viking orbiters in 1976. At first hardly noticed, on closer inspection they showed a structure that bears an astonishing resemblance to a human face (see picture on the left, just above the center of the image). In other pictures of the series, several pyramid-like formations were found, which since their discovery have been called “Inca city”. These photographs became the birth helpers of the myth, according to which Mars was the home of an intelligent advanced civilization a very long time ago, but which was then completely destroyed by a catastrophe, perhaps an asteroid impact. In one version of this legend, some of the beings that were already powerful in high technology, including space travel, many millions of years ago survived and were able to take refuge on Earth. There, with the help of their technical abilities, they quickly set up a base, which in turn built a bridge to another legend: Atlantis. | aerospace |

Caught in a budget crunch, Pentagon officials are looking to get around congressional opposition to cutting down the amount of base space in use — without messing with the unpopular Base Realignment and Closure process.
The service is exploring downsizing by creating “warm” and “cold” bases without technically closing a single base. The strategy could leave a military installation all but a ghost town.
The prospect has raised the hackles of a Texas lawmaker who’s a defense heavyweight in Congress.
“If the Pentagon tries to get cute in trying to find a way around the law, there will be pretty serious repercussions about that,” said U.S. Rep. Mac Thornberry, vice chairman of the House Armed Services Committee. “I think there’d be a problem.”
When acting Air Force Secretary Eric Fanning makes the breakfast speech circuit lately, he talks about an uphill budget battle because defense is on the hook for half of about $1 trillion in sequester cuts over 10 years.
“We’re exploring, really trying to read into the law to see what our authorities are, but you’re very limited without a BRAC,” Fanning said at a November breakfast sponsored by the Air Force Association.
Unless Congress drastically alters the cuts, the Air Force will have to slash active-duty forces by 25,000 airmen and shed 550 aircraft over five years, he said.
Sequestration relief could be on the way in the form of a bipartisan budget deal set to go before the House on Thursday.
Thornberry said the deal keeps military spending flat for the next two years.
But to win approval, it will have to survive running the gauntlet of fiscal conservatives and tea partiers in the House and Senate.
In any case, the Air Force estimated 20 percent excess capacity in its bases several years ago. It probably has more now since the force has shrunk.
In the current fiscal climate, “cold” basing and “warm” basing might be options, Fanning said.
A cold base is virtually shuttered but requires minimum upkeep, he said. Cold basing would be almost impossible to do without violating BRAC law. A warm base has fewer personnel and aircraft, for example, and it’s maintained.
Either way, the local economy takes a hit, and the community can’t repurpose the installation, he said.
“If they can’t have the base, and we don’t have people and planes there, then it’s the worst of all worlds for the communities,” Fanning said.
San Angelo Chamber of Commerce President Phil Neighbors said Goodfellow Air Force Base’s mission as a training base should protect it from warm or cold basing.
About 100 trainees arrive at Goodfellow and 100 leave weekly, Neighbors said.
“In a training base, you really can’t move that up and down as well as you can bases with planes,” he said. “Training bases are not immune from cuts by any means, but are less impacted by the warm and cold basing.”
Jason Smith, president and CEO of the Abilene Chamber of Commerce, frowned on the idea of cold or warm basing.
“The idea of moving missions and warm basing and cold basing doesn’t feel to us very transparent or open or objective for that matter,” said Smith.
Dyess Air Force Base in Abilene is home to fleets of B-1s and C-130s.
A defense budget analyst said he wouldn’t call the Air Force looking into cold and warm basing circumventing BRAC law.
“They’re just trying to work within the system that exists” to eliminate waste and inefficiency, said Todd Harrison of the Center for Strategic and Budgetary Assessments.
“If Congress is going to constrain not just the Air Force but the other services as well, they’ve got to expect that the services are going to do the best they can within those constraints,” Harrison said.
Many experts see the need for a BRAC because of the excess space at installations, he said.
“The obstacles to BRAC are truly parochial political interests,” he said.
The typically divisive Congress is united on one front: No BRAC.
Fanning doesn’t think there’s much chance of a BRAC until 2017.
“We’re going to keep trying because it’s critical, especially for the Air Force,” he said.

Hopper 557th Weather Wing Public Affairs OFFUTT AIR FORCE BASE, Neb. -- Airmen from the 2d Combat Weather Systems Squadron traveled to Cape Canaveral Space Force Station, Florida, Jan. 17 – 21 to install a Portable Doppler Radar or PDR weather system to assist Guardians with space launch operations. The PDR was installed to prevent a gap in environmental data coverage while the 45th Weather Squadron’s WSR-88D Radar is down for planned maintenance. “Our team of Airmen collaborated with the 45th Weather Squadron to determine viable options to meet their environmental intelligence requirements,” said Lt. Col. Gary Charney, 2d CWSS commander. “In the planning process, ‘The Herd’ assisted in working through communication requirements, site selection and PDR capabilities based on our experiences with Information Warfare Weapons and Tactics Conference and Weather Systems Support Cadre deployments to U.S. Central Command and U.S. Africa Command.” During emplacement, 2d CWSS Airmen led the proper setup of the equipment, continued to work through communication issues, and trained the Guardians for basic user-level maintenance. “The 2d CWSS Airmen were amazing,” said Col. Jason King, 45th WS commander. “It was obvious upon their arrival; they were well trained and experts on the PDR and how to connect it to our one-of-a-kind network.” The PDR will provide the 45th WS with timely radar data for a temporary period, while contractors disassemble their old weather surveillance radar and install a new and improved version specifically designed for the squadron’s unique requirements. “Our forecasters and launch weather officers will utilize the radar data while supporting all NASA, State Department, Defense Department sea, air, ground, and space operations (launches and landings) here on the eastern range,” King said. The current operations for 2d CWSS Airmen have expanded from solving and maintaining environmental sensing strategies in USAFRICOM and USCENTCOM to sensitive space launch operations. The physical environment can be just as much of a threat as a near peer adversary. The more environmental intelligence they gather, the better they can drive down risk to the force and mission. “The PDR installation at Cape Canaveral is a fantastic demonstration of the 2d Combat Weather Systems Squadron’s ability to provide deployed or in-place support to DoD and civil authorities, as tasked, providing specialized environmental sensing assessments and solutions as part of the Joint Intelligence Preparation of the Operational Environment” said Col. Michael Marsicek, 2d Weather Group commander. “The PDR installation supporting 45th Weather Squadron is really a continuation of a long and storied history between Air Force Weather and U.S. space launch operations.” This is not the first instance where 2d CWSS was called upon to provide their expertise. In July 2021, Airmen from “The Herd” traveled to Anderson Air Force Base, Guam, when the 36th Operational Support Squadron’s only Next Generation Weather Radar broke down. “Over the last two decades, The Herd has garnered a wealth of knowledge emplacing PDRs in unique environments and connecting to various communication networks throughout USCENTCOM and USAFRICOM theaters,” Charney said. “A significant takeaway from the PDR installation at the Cape is that The Herd was able to capitalize on their experience and work through new problem sets with the same equipment. Empowered, multi-capable Airmen understood the requirement and commander’s intent and innovated solutions with an aged PDR fleet.” The Airmen from the 2d CWSS stand ready to assist the joint team through employment of Environmental Collection Teams that can conduct environmental data collection for resource protection, as well as operational test and planning in permissive, semi-permissive environments. Their expertise can be leveraged to aid development of environmental sensing strategies, to include operational and technical support by leveraging their system and meteorological expertise. The ECTs can deploy rapidly with weather sensing equipment (to include Portable Doppler Radar, TMOS, micro weather sensor) to accurately assess the environment and disseminate data (via organic communications, satellite communications, or limited data through tactical comms in degraded environments). “The men and women of the 2d CWSS demonstrate what it means to truly be multi-capable Airmen,” Marsicek said. “These dedicated professionals combine weather, RAWS and cyber operators together to present a unique capability to the combatant commands that span environmental collection operations to maintaining deployed weather systems. They also perform our operational test mission, ensuring that when a system is deployed it meets the needs of our Airmen performing the mission in harm’s way. While taking on these critical missions, they also capture tactics, techniques and procedures for Air Combat Command to make available for weather operations worldwide.” “I am proud of the 2d CWSS team and their selfless contributions to the DoD’s varied missions,” Marsicek added. | aerospace |

Titanium is a widely used metal, due to its light weight, higher strength than aluminum alloy, can maintain a higher strength than aluminum at high temperature and is highly valued by the aviation industry. Titanium has a wide range of uses in the military industry. Nuclear powered submarines, hydrofoil boats, anti-tank missiles, missile launchers, bulletproof vests, etc. In the aviation industry, civilian aircraft, strategic rocket engines, spacecraft satellite antennas and other large amounts of titanium. In seawater, titanium has incomparable corrosion resistance, especially the high speed erosion corrosion of seawater. At present, many countries have developed a variety of advanced titanium submersible, submarine, submarine laboratory equipment to carry out Marine research.
Titanium plate manufacturing process
Hot forging: Forging of a metal above the recrystallization temperature.
Hot rolling: a process of rolling at temperatures higher than recrystallization.
Cold rolling: rolling process in which the plastic deformation temperature is lower than the recovery temperature.
Annealing: Heat treatment of a metal by slowly heating it to a certain temperature, holding it for a sufficient time, and then cooling it at a suitable rate.
Pickling: to remove the oxide films on the metal surface by immersing the parts in an aqueous solution such as sulfuric acid. It is pretreatment or intermediate treatment of electroplating, enamel, rolling, and other processes.
Titanium plate characteristics:
1. Titanium plate is the surface of the oxide film is equivalent to a good wear-resistant hair separation agent, the use of titanium plate to save the separation agent, so that the plate is easy to peel, to avoid the process of pretreatment of the plate, titanium plate than copper plate is half light.
2. The service life of titanium type plate is more than 3 times that of copper type plate, which can reach 10 to 20 years depending on the operating conditions.
3. Electrolytic copper prepared by titanium plate has compact crystal structure, smooth surface and excellent quality.
4. Because the titanium plate does not need to be coated with separating agent, it can avoid the pollution of copper electrolyte.
5. Increase production capacity and reduce production cost of electrolytic copper, to have better economic benefits. | aerospace |

Basically, the EFB is capable of carrying the equivalent of many kilos of paper all on the palm of your hand. The EFB is usually presented in a form of android tablet.
Regional Air becomes the first General aviation operator in Tanzania to adopt the EFB on all its flights. The certificate is actually a detailed type certification Regional Air goes Green with paper-less flight deck program called the 5 phase certification issued by the civil aviation authority. Regional Air has already been hailed as ‘the pioneers’ of this type of technology.
As Tanzania joins other states in the region by going plastic free we at Regional Air take pride in the fact we are contributing to a clear environment. Additionally, the potential savings are huge since new regulations come out frequently requiring aircraft operators to carry more documentation.

Researchers are trying to find out what plants can grow on Mars. They hope astronauts will grow their own food on the Red Planet. Getting to Mars could take two-and-a-half years. The astronauts will need a lot of food for the journey. They can never come back to Earth. This means they will need to grow their own food from seeds. This could be a problem because Mars doesn't have good soil. It just has red dust.
Humans could be on Mars in the next 15 years. NASA has been testing "Martian gardens" using a soil made of volcanic dust. It has no nutrients or organic material, so it is similar to Mars dust. The scientists grew lettuce in it and it tasted normal. The lettuce had weaker roots and took longer to grow. NASA said testing 'Martian gardens' on Earth would help to develop ways of growing food on Mars in the future. | aerospace |

The FAST satellite was inserted into a polar orbit with an altitude range of 350 to 4200 km (220 to 2,600 miles) above Earth. FAST carried instruments to measure energetic electrons and ions, electric fields, and magnetic fields above the Earth’s auroral zones. A Transportable Orbital Tracking Station (TOTS) maintained by NASA was placed at Poker Flat, Alaska to collect real-time data while the spacecraft passed through the northern polar regions. Data is also collected by the European Space Agency (ESA) using a tracking station in Kiruna, Sweden.

But in Kenya, conservationists have found a new, beneficial use for the technology: tracking and protecting endangered species. Kenya’s Ol Pejeta Conservancy recently partnered with Airware, a company that creates autopilot systems for drones, to see if the vehicles could safeguard wildlife from poachers, The Next Web reports: The two parties announced today that the tests were successful at “demonstrating that drones can be a viable tool for wildlife conservation” and they are starting to lay the groundwork for a long-term solution. These drones, equipped with Airware’s autopilot platform and control software, [help] to send real-time digital videos and thermal imaging feeds of animals, as well as poachers, to rangers on the ground. What’s more, the drone only requires minimal training—so a ranger can easily configure a flight plan using a simple mapping interface and launch a flight that is autonomous from launch to recovery. In the case of any poaching-related incident, these drones can also signal for a security team to be deployed. Airware CEO Jonathan Downey acknowledges that right now, the testing stage is just over—and there’s still much development to be done. However, “we’re extremely encouraged and quite proud to be pioneering drones that can preserve some of our planet’s most threatened species,” Downey says. In a country with only 2,800 park rangers total, drones are proving to be an effective and efficient method of protecting wildlife. “Drones are basically the future of conservation,” says James Hardy, the manager of the Mara North Conservancy in Kenya. “A drone can do what 50 rangers can do.”

The micro-satellite namely NanoDragon build by engineers from Vietnam National Space Center is one of 15 satellites chosen by JAXA to launch into orbit this year under Japan's experimental program, Tienphong cited Deputy Chairman of Vietnam National Space Center Le Xuan Huy as saying.
NanoDragon is also tested in the framework of a Japanese company for a central on-board computer in orbit. The satellite is the product under project "Research, design, manufacture, launch and test operation of nanoscale microsatellites" under the National Science and Technology Program on Space Technology between 2016 and 2020.
Weighing around 4 kilograms, the micro-satellite serves for two tasks including using an optical imaging device to verify the quality of the satellite posture controller when operating in orbit and using an automatic identification signal to track and supervise vessels at sea.
Huy said that Vietnam sets goals to master and develop a 180kg-satellite from the very beginning stages of design, manufacture, assembly to integration, and testing. Vietnam National Space Center is focusing on building facilities for satellite assembly, integration, and testing.
He believes that the step-by-step mastery of satellite manufacturing technology would help Vietnam reduce its dependence on foreign partners, ensuring safety, security, and strengthen available satellite data and services as well as serving economic development.

Yuri Borisov, the Director General of Roscosmos, previously said that the country was pulling out of the ISS after 2024 so it can focus on building its own space station. "After 2024" is pretty vague, though, and even Roscosmos official Sergei Krikalev said it could mean 2025, 2028 or 2030. Now, we have a more solid idea of until when Russia intends to remain a partner. To note, the United States, Japan, Canada and the participating countries of the ESA (European Space Agency) have previously agreed to keep the ISS running until 2030.
After the United States and other countries imposed sanctions on Russia following the invasion of Ukraine, former Roscosmos director Dmitry Rogozin spoke up and threatened to stop working with his agency's western counterparts. "I believe that the restoration of normal relations between the partners at the International Space Station and other projects is possible only with full and unconditional removal of illegal sanctions," Rogozin said at the time.
While Roscosmos has now agreed to continue cooperating with its fellow ISS partners, the increasing tension between Russia and the US even before the invasion of Ukraine began prompted NASA to prepare for the possibility of the former leaving the space station. NASA and the White House reportedly drew plans to pull astronauts out of the station if Russia leaves abruptly, as well as to keep the ISS running without the Russian thrusters keeping the flying lab in orbit.
Private space companies had reportedly been called in to help out, and a previous report said Boeing already formed a team of engineers to figure out how to control the ISS without Russia's thrusters. It's unclear if the remaining ISS partners will use any of those contingencies after 2028 and if a private space corp will step in to keep the space station running. It's worth noting, however, that NASA and other space agencies are already preparing to leave Low Earth Orbit to explore the moon. | aerospace |

To help the agency fine-tune its approach, NASA will award firm fixed-price, milestone-based contracts of up to $45 million for commercial-led work under a broad agency announcement released Thursday.
NASA is seeking new work to mature designs and conduct technology and engineering risk-reduction tasks for the human landing system (HLS), which will ferry Artemis astronauts from lunar orbit to the surface and back. Prior to opening the call for commercial space lunar transportation on a recurring basis, NASA is asking U.S. companies to hone HLS concepts and safety measures.
Companies awarded work under this research and development procurement, known as NextSTEP-2 Appendix N, will help NASA polish requirements for the future recurring services solicitation, which will secure regular crewed trips from Gateway in lunar orbit to the lunar surface and back.
“We are priming U.S. industry to become reliable service providers in the lunar marketplace,” said Greg Chavers, assistant deputy for Systems Engineering and Integration for human spaceflight at NASA Headquarters in Washington. “Riding on American ingenuity, Artemis astronauts will explore new areas of the Moon, where we will unlock mysteries of the solar system for the benefit of all.”
NASA’s goal is to enable the safest and lowest cost long-term approach to accessing the lunar surface, and to be just one of multiple customers purchasing services in the lunar transportation market.
“The approach for recurring Moon landing services is truly a collective effort between NASA and U.S. Industry,” said Lisa Watson-Morgan, human landing system program manager at NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama. “This announcement is a chance for the pioneering private sector to claim their stake in the emerging lunar economy and make history with NASA.” | aerospace |

As technology progresses, future Satellite Navigation (SatNav) efforts need to stay ahead of the threat. In recognition of this current landscape and the need to maintain our national edge in the PNT arena, the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) is launching an experimental navigation satellite that is making significant strides in reconfigurability, robustness, and resilience. The current GPS system is designed to handle only minor, predetermined modifications. In contrast, the NTS-3 Radio Frequency (RF) satellite architecture was designed with reconfigurability in mind, including a highly reconfigurable actively steered electronic phased array which can form multiple, highly customized beams at the foundation of a new physical layer architecture.
This talk overviews what is being called the PNT Chain experimentation, which focuses on experimentation with the innovative, inherently reconfigurable SatNav payload architecture. Looking from the top down, the highest level of challenge rests in understanding how this flexible system is used, in a practical time effective way. Then, system accuracy and signal quality need to be characterized to understand which users might benefit. Ultimately, the question of Technology Readiness Level (TRL) and payload Size, Weight, and Power (SWaP) advantages of this novel approach need to be addressed. Once these questions are answered new signal and waveform experimentation is enabled by a capable and characterized physical layer foundation.

This 24-month renovation of Building 12 – one of Johnson Space Center’s oldest original permanent buildings – touched the entire facility, including interior, exterior skin and roof. The 65,000 SF remodel and build-out enable the facility to build upon its half-century of NASA service and continue supporting Johnson Space Center operations for another half-century. The numerous energy-efficient and environmentally friendly features incorporated throughout Building 12 met LEED Gold criteria. A standout feature of the project is the 35,000 SF green roof with nearly 75,000 plants, which is a first at the space center.
Using BIM to precisely determine the proper layout of under-floor systems provided more certainty in estimates of materials quantities and labor requirements, resulting in a savings of approximately $150,000. | aerospace |

This major milestone didn’t stop their curiosity, so they decided to stimulate those muscle tissues with light. The result caused individual muscle tissues to contract. With a 20 millisecond laser, getting the job done, this opens a whole new world of possibilities, including bio-robots. Hopefully a couple of decades from now, I’ll have my own bio-robot to get my laundry done.

The “Phantom Eye” project is in its last steps. After completing its designing Boeing has been able to produce a prototype. This unmanned giant drone is able to fly to up to 60,000 feet and stay in the air for over four days. It’s also environmentally friendly as it runs on hydrogen. Better yet, the Ministry of Defense has provided Boeing with a multi-million dollar project in providing this aerial vehicle with a laser cannon. In the near future, America will have its own missile defense system in the sky exhausting only water.

Call it garbage, trash, refuse, litter, rubbish – or even space junk.
Space junk usually becomes a hot topic only when there is some large object that finally must yield to gravity with its final landing spot largely unknown. Although the likelihood of a water impact is greatest, anxious eyes turn to the skies just in case.
In reality, though, such high-profile encounters between worn-out satellites and our home planet are merely the tip of the proverbial iceberg. According to NASA’s Orbital Debris Program Office, located at Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas, there are upwards of 500,000 marble-sized objects circulating in orbit, joined by millions of objects 1mm or smaller.
In early July The Washington Post wrote about the US Space Force’s quest to establish a military identity and identify what concrete responsibilities this newest branch of the Armed Forces of the United States will have. The article referred to low earth orbit tests of satellite destruction that have already been conducted by Russia and China, as well as speculation that any Chinese action against Taiwan will be predicated on the destruction of numerous satellites to hamper the defense of Taiwan by its own forces and allies.
Of course, any destruction of satellites is an act of creation: the generation of more space junk in low earth orbit.
Putting aside the topic of satellite warfare, what to do about the problem that already exists? As might be expected with such a complex issue, opinions vary widely. There have been many proposals and ideas, some translated into proof-of-concept missions like Surrey Space Centre’s RemoveDEBRIS and Japanese company Astroscale’s ELSA-d.
At the moment, one of the most promising efforts taking concrete steps to mitigate the danger of debris in orbit is the ESA (European Space Agency) alliance with the Swiss company ClearSpace SA. They intend to target a VESPA payload adapter, a refrigerator-sized object that has remained in orbit since playing a role in a 2013 ESA Vega mission. Scheduled for 2026, the ClearSpace-1 mission will attempt to rendezvous with VESPA, capture the object, and guide it to a harmless destruction upon reentry to our atmosphere.
Ironically – and fully indicative of the urgency of ClearSpace’s mission - just a month ago the VESPA target was itself hit by a small piece space junk, the resulting debris from the collision adding to the amount of trackable objects already in orbit. ClearSpace is analyzing what impact the collision may have on its planned mission to capture and safely deorbit VESPA.
Although ClearSpace remains for now an imposing distance away from being able to reduce the threat of the hundreds of thousands of small objects crowding space, the start of ClearSpace-1 is far better than no action at all.

Good space movies, in my opinion, are not just social event movies that happen to have a sequence or two of space flight. Space flight should be an integral part of the plot. Below are some of my favorites.
2001: A Space Odyssey
One of my all time favorites, not only because the technical aspects are accurate, but also for the sequence of inter-dimensional transport. The composed, professional manner the astronauts project are a little more realistic than an emotional Captain Kirk. Criticized as dull due to the long spacecraft traverse scenes with classical background music, the movie is 99% technically credible. Probably adding to the disinterest are only two instances of family relationships (both involving birthdays), and almost no romantic interactions.
2010: The Year We Make Contact
The sequel to 2001: A Space Odyssey has some great space walk sequences. Putting travelers in suspended animation for the trip to reduce consumable supplies is a smart idea. It also contains some details like the collection of volcanic sulfur dust from Jupiter’s moon Io on the Discovery spacecraft that had been in orbit around that moon for a decade. The producers and director involved family and romantic interests this time. The conversion of Jupiter into a star is, of course, fantasy, but it makes a good story.
A 1950 overdramatized, but accurate, movie depicting an actual moon landing, likeable for people who are not interested in outlandish aliens or flying saucers. Though the portrayed technology is simple in appearance, and using stock footage of rockets, the basis is credible. An underlying story line involves the differences between governmental controls of space flight vs. private industry, and cold war overtones. The animation and 1/6th moon’s gravity simulation are good. A prophetic line in the screenplay was the proposal to build the mission in Texas; a decade and a half before Lyndon Johnson made it happen.
Space Odyssey: Voyage to the Planets
This was really a mini-series, not well advertized, about a voyage through the solar system. It portrays a realistic succession of planet and moon visitations including the difficulties encountered with being away from Earth for years; including facing death onboard. The special effects are good and the science is accurate. It is a long miniseries, though.
I’m normally not a fan of scary or shock movies that frighten audiences, but this one had me hooked in the first scenes with a planet of extreme weather where commerce astronauts passing by are investigating a distress call, and contact with Antarctica station (makes sense for an interstellar space craft). The encounter with a nasty alien made the point that should we ever find life forms elsewhere, we should approach them cautiously.
Most episodes; these movies are great fun and were well produced. Aside from the numerous fantastic creatures, the stories take advantage of convenient advanced technology (tractor beams, spacecraft of seemingly unlimited power and thrust without refueling, Jedi levitation ability, light sabers, etc.).
The first four movies; the movies are also great entertainment. The first Star Trek movie involved the real spacecraft Voyager, obviously long forgotten by the depicted year of the events of the movie. This made the movie interesting to space aficionados. The Wrath of Khan, Search for Spock, and The Return Home were well produced and enjoyable. The fantastic technologies, smoothly mixed with realistic scenarios, made the story easy to accept.
A space movie only because the research aircraft eventually reaches the technical definition of space (100 kilometers); the film mixes stock footage of real X-15 flights with animation, and includes dramatizations based on these videos. Charles Bronson and Mary Tyler Moore star in this Richard Donner (Superman: The Movie) 1961 motion picture.
Probably the best of the Earth destruction by meteor movies, I liked the special effects and the sociological aspects were not too sappy. Really, the best way to deal with a large meteor is not to blow it up, but just push it away with rocket motors, given that you have time.
Docudrama Space Movies
I am a little surprised there are not more dramatized versions of historical space flights given we are forty to fifty years from the first space flights. My favorites are:
Technically accurate with only a few deviations from actual events for artistic enhancement (for example, Ken Mattingly was not the capsule communicator during Apollo 13’s return through the atmosphere). The production and direction kept the audience in suspense even though everyone knows the outcome.
The Right Stuff
Based on Tom Wolfe’s book, this movie recounts the escapades of the original seven American astronauts. One of them, Walter Schirra (now deceased), reportedly called this movie the “Animal House” of spaceflight. The acting was hammy. Nevertheless, the history and technical aspects were relatively accurate. I suppose if the actors acted as the astronauts did in real life, the movie would be quite boring.
From Earth to the Moon
This miniseries is a good dramatization of important events during the Apollo program. The story was not just the actual flights, but also the preparations beginning years before Apollo 11. My favorite episode was “That’s All There Is”, the story of Apollo 12. | aerospace |

Already in France for a year, these pilot trainees have upgraded their English and science levels, then they have been through a process of acculturation and ground assessment which resulted in their orientation in fighter and transport branches.
Since 2006, DCI-AIRCO has organised, in partnership with the French Air Force, fighter crew trainings. Different steps of the training chosen by Kuwait take place in French Air Force air bases within the squadrons and schools of: Salon-de-Provence for ground theoretical instruction and initial flight training; Cognac for the fighter/transport common ground training on simulators and in flight for practice aircraft and fighter pre-specialisation; Tours and Cazaux for fighter specialisation trainings; Avord for transport specialisation.
Kuwait Air Force keeps trusting DCI as a new class of 26 cadets has arrived in France in the summer of 2015 to start the upgrade step.
“We are very honoured and proud to welcome these young Kuwaiti trainees within the Academic and Aeronautical International Training Centre of Salon-de-Provence, created by DCI within the Air Academy area in synergy with this prestigious officer academy. Building on the practical training provided by the French Air Force, DCI implements a permanent support to enable young pilot trainees to overcome all the obstacles of this demanding training curriculum and to get their pilot wings. We hope this first flight of Kuwaiti brand new pilots will call many more.” Explains Henri Rouby, DCI-AIRCO director. | aerospace |

People are to be aware of the regulations and practical points of safe UAV flying. You can face hefty fines if you do not comply with all rules and regulations.
The rapid advances in technology have led to the development and increased use of unmanned aircrafts, which have become increasingly popular, for recreational and commercial purposes. The UAE has passed regulations on how drones are used and treated in their airspaces. Users need to be responsible and aware of restrictions in operating an unmanned air vehicle.
Here are some things every new drone owner should know before taking to the skies.
* Keep your aircraft in sight
* Do not fly drones within restricted airspace
* Always check the local aviation regulations before you fly your UAV
There are restrictions on the use of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) over urban areas and when operating within so many miles of an airport, as a misused drone hovering in the flight paths of manned air vehicles (MAVs) could compromise aircraft safety. People are asked to keep drones from flying within eight nautical miles around the two international airports, the Dubai International Airport and the Al Maktoum International Airport.
To fly small, remote-controlled aircraft used for recreational purposes, you do not need permission from authority, whereas a permit is required in drone operation for non-hobby and commercial purposes. At present, UAVs are regulated by the General Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA), which has regulations in place for adherence to safety and privacy standards, while using drones.
As drones proliferate or become more routinely adopted and utilized by the public and private sectors, users are advised that taking videos or pictures of people, government buildings and military installations without permission is prohibited. Using drones for capturing images or video of objects or taking aerial surveillance requires authorization.
It is worth keeping in mind that drones are to be flown within visual line-of-sight. In other words, the drone must be kept in your line of sight and needs to be clearly observable from your position on the ground.
With recreational drones coming readily available in the UAE now, consumers need to be aware of all the rules regarding their use. Even though GCAA has given the all-clear signal for commercial drone flying, users will need to have the drones registered; government needs to know whom each drone belongs to as well to regulate drones flying in their airspace.
Mohammad Abdullah Al Ahli, Director-General of the Dubai Civil Aviation, and CEO of Dubai Air Navigation Services, said hobbyists flying drones have only to be responsible, while approved limited commercial drones require owners to abide by rules and regulations.
Commercial users of drones in Dubai need to obtain a No-Objection Certificate (NOC) from the Dubai Civil Aviation Authority (DCAA); this needs to happen because of the type of commercial activity of the drone flight. (Note: DCAA shall be informed for any extension to the NOC issued.)
Depending on how big the drone is and its purpose of use, it could be subject to licensing approvals and safety parameters set by GCAA. Owners might be asked to declare the altitude of operation as well as request authorization for each flight before take-off. This is obtained after registration, pre-assessment and prior approval from the related authority.
To register a UAV, visit the DCAA website. There one can apply and obtain a Drone permit in Dubai. For questions, call DCAA on 04-2162009. | aerospace |

An airport runway was closed late Wednesday morning after a single-engine plane made an emergency landing at Collin County Regional Airport in McKinney. It was still closed in early afternoon as personnel and equipment were working to remove the aircraft from the runway.
The plane is reported to be a 1959 Piper PA-24-250.
The incident occured at 11:55 a.m., according to the City of McKinney. The cause of the landing was an electrical power outage onboard that made the plane’s landing gear inoperable, the city said. The plane tried to put the landing gear down manually and when it touched down, the gear collapsed, so the plane slid to a stop on the runway.
There were no injuries.

for small satellite platform. It deforms easily in unfolded state by
the affection of the space thermal loads on orbit, which directly
reduces the precision of the antenna. The flatness error is an
important index to evaluate the thermal deformation of antenna
surface. In this paper, first a new flatness error evaluation
algorithm of plane in any space placement based on least square
method was proposed for accurate assessment of the satellite
antenna thermal deformation degree. Then the finite element
model of SAR antenna for thermal deformation analysis was
established and the measure points of the SAR antenna’s
measure surface was picked. Finally the antenna plate flatness
error was calculated based on the new evaluation algorithm and
the result of analysis. The flatness error of the satellite antenna
plate quantifies the degree of the satellite antenna deformation
and provides the basis for further design optimization of the
SAR antenna structure.

The European spacecraft BepiColombo, built by Airbus Defence and Space as prime contractor, is undergoing final functional tests at the Thales Alenia Space plant in Turin, Italy. It will then be shipped to ESA's European Space Research and Technology center in Noordwijk, the Netherlands, to start environmental tests.
BepiColombo is a joint mission between the European Space Agency and the Japanese Aerospace Exploration Agency, JAXA. The primary goal of this ambitious mission is a detailed study of the planet Mercury and its environment. The launch is scheduled for mid-2016 from the Guiana Space Center in Kourou, French Guiana.
Thales Alenia Space is part of the Core Team, and coordinates 35 European companies on the work package under its responsibility. In particular, Thales Alenia Space is in charge of the telecommunications, thermal control and electric power distribution systems, along with integration and testing of the satellite and support services for the launch campaign.
One distinctive feature of the BepiColombo mission is the development of special high-temperature technologies. Mercury is only one-third of the distance to the Sun, compared with the Earth, and the solar radiation in orbit around Mercury is estimated at ten times more intense than near Earth. The space probe will have to withstand temperatures greater than 300°C during its approach to Mercury, with local excursions on the antenna reflector of up to 400°C or more, while the spacecraft's instruments will have to work at temperatures ranging from 0° to 40°. It was therefore necessary to develop special materials and devices for all exposed elements, including thermal blankets, antennas, solar cells and pointing mechanisms. | aerospace |

Daniel N. Fannin's family remembered him Monday as a kind-hearted young man who enjoyed the simple pleasures of camping and fishing, and died serving the country he loved.
Fannin, a Morehead native, was killed Saturday in the crash of an Air Force reconnaissance plane about 100 miles from the Kandahar Airfield in southern Afghanistan. He had turned 30 on April 9.
The U.S. Defense Department said authorities were trying to determine what caused the crash. Officials said that no enemy activity had been reported in the area at the time of the crash.
Daniel Fannin grew up in Morehead and joined the U.S. Air Force shortly after graduating from Rowan County Senior High School in 2001.
He had lived for several years in Oklahoma with his wife, Sonya Fannin, of Oklahoma City. He was assigned to the Air Force's 552nd Operations Support Squadron at Tinker Air Force Base in Oklahoma City.
In addition to his spouse, Fannin is survived by his mother, Sharri Jones of Morehead; his grandparents, Henry and Fern Hamm; two uncles, an aunt, and many relatives and friends.
The family said in a statement that "Daniel always had a smile and kind words, and had a heart of gold.
"He loved his family, his dog, and loved to fish and camp," the family said. "Daniel died honorably serving his country so that we may continue to enjoy the freedoms that we take for granted.
"He died just as he lived — serving God and others. We are blessed to have known and loved Daniel."
Family members said the statement would be their only comment, and they asked that the public and media respect their privacy during their period of grief and mourning.
Fannin was one of four crewmen killed when the Air Force MC-12 Liberty reconnaissance plane went down Saturday in Afghanistan's Zabul province, the Defense Department said.
The others were Capt. Reid Nishizuka, 30, of Kailua, Hawaii; Capt. Brandon Cyr, 28, of Woodbridge, Va., and Staff Sgt. Richard A. Dickson, 24, of Rancho Cordova, Calif.
It was not immediately known how long Fannin had been in Afghanistan, where he was a member of the 361st Expeditionary Reconnaissance Squadron at Kandahar Air Base.
Fannin, a 12-year Air Force veteran, was an airborne sensor operator and a qualified Air Force air surveillance instructor who had served with distinction at Tinker Air Force Base, according to base spokesman Darren Heusel. Fannin had served three previous tours, and had worked as an air surveillance technician aboard the Air Force's highly sophisticated E-3 AWACS (Airborne Warning and Control System) aircraft, Heusel said.
The MC-12 is a relatively small twin-engine, turboprop plane that resembles a civilian executive aircraft. But the plane is packed with electronic and infrared gear, as well as satellite communications and data links, allowing it to perform aerial reconnaissance, surveillance and intelligence-gathering work in support of troops on the ground. | aerospace |

Also, you do not have to accumulate massive flight hours to complete your training. In reality, it could take you just a few weeks to get the Private License.
So, what is the pre-requisite to acquire a Private License?
Firstly, we ought to understand the eligibility criteria to start the procedures.
Pre-Defined steps for getting your Private Pilot License
here’s how you come to be a private pilot:
For the Better Result We suggest you to enroll in Sunsea Aviation Services Pvt.Ltd
- Ensure you fulfill the eligibility requirements
- Acquire your Medical Certificates (3rd-Class, as Minimum Requirement)
- Join a Pilot Training Program or find a Flight Instructor to guide you.
- Complete your Ground School or Home-Study course(basic understanding of the all the technical paper).
- Qualify your Private Pilot Written Exam.
- Get through your flight training and earn the required endorsements.
- Pass your Private Pilot Checkride.
Let’s intercept the | First Step
Private Pilot License Requirements
To understand the procedure better Enroll and chat with our Technical Team for a smooth sail
You need to be at the least 17 years old (or 16 to fly gliders or balloons) to get a Private Pilot License.
furthermore, you have to meet the subsequent requirements:
⦁ have either a student, Sport, or recreational pilot certificate.
⦁ Have at least a 3rd-class medical certificates.
⦁ receive right ground coaching, flight schooling, and logbook endorsements.
⦁ pass aeronautical knowledge and practical assessments.
the best path to turning into a private pilot begins with getting a student pilot certificate, which involves little besides completing an online application. rather, having a sport or recreational pilot license makes training less complicated, and probably faster, as compared to a first-time pilot.
Getting your medical certificate requires yet another online Application on MedXPress or equivalent site. After scheduling an appointment, an Aviation Medical Examiner issues the medical certificate after you qualifies a physical. The medical certificate include 3 classes: 1st, 2nd, and 3rd. private pilots should meet the required standards for a 3rd-class medical, at a minimum.
It’s time to hit the Ground to study.
The PPL ground class training introduces you to key aviation concepts. It allows you build your aeronautical understanding in regions which includes aerodynamics, Federal Aviation policies (FARs), and radio verbal exchange tactics.
you can pick between a home-study course or instructor classes to complete your ground School.
however you must recognize that pilot colleges come in two flavors, every following a exceptional part of the FARs.
part 61 schools don’t have any minimum “ground” hours, at the same time as component 141 schools must offer as a minimum 35 hours of ground school.
In either case, enrolling in an online course with the help of consultent is a recomended idea.
whilst many alternatives exist, the virtual private pilot ground School on Sunsea-aviation.com offers a route that helped over 2,000 students ace their information checks. At a much lower fee factor than that of a formal ground course, for the concern.
As a private pilot in Traing, you learn how to airplane, which entails greater than handling the contol wheel. Your flight training encompasses preflight preparation, navigation, and emergency techniques amongst numerous different areas of Aircraft operations.
You learn the ropes from a flight instructor via flight instructions, each consisting of 3 segments:
⦁ Preflight briefing: Discussing what you’re going to do within the plane.
⦁ Flight training consultation: Doing what you discussed within the briefing.
⦁ Postflight briefing: comparing your performance.
how many hours does it take to end up a private pilot?
despite the fact that insignificant, the part 61 vs part 141 difference comes into play right here. element 61 Schools’ minimum is 40 hours, even as element 141 Schools have it at 35. each figures must include 20 hours of flight training with an instructor as well as different minimal hours of solo, Cross-country, instrument and night time flight time.
Gaining the required flight talent takes most pilots 60 to 75 hours, although. among other part, your aptitude, flight frequency, pilot school, and flight instructor influence the wide variety of flight hours.
commonly, it takes 3 months to complete a Private Pilot Course . however, accelerated guides lasts only a handful of weeks.
once your Training is fininshed, and your instructor deems you prepared, you have to pass in exams to get your license.
Aeronautical Knowledge Test
apparently, you can sit for the private pilot information take a look at at 15 years old. but, you need to present an authorization to take the check.
What’s an authorization?
It’s proof which you’re equipped for the test , which may be a certificates of graduation, a written declaration, or a logbook endorsement.
here’s what you need to realize about the information check:
⦁ It consists of 60 multiple-choice questions.
⦁ each question has 3 feasible answers.
⦁ It’s 2 and half of hours.
⦁ The passing score is 70%.
⦁ Retesting is viable upon getting an teacher endorsement.
⦁ It’s legitimate for two years.
Many pilots choose to pass the expertise test at before they start pilot training. That’s regularly a very good Choice since it allows you to absolutely focus on the flying.
Practical Test (Check ride)
Passing your private pilot practical test, normally known as check ride, is the final step to your direction to turning into a private pilot.
The checkride comes after completing your pilot Training, passing your Knowledge test, and getting an Instructor endorsement.
What’s the deal with the Instructor endorsement?
It attests to assembly the specified realistic take a look at requirements. Your instructor issues the endorsement, however only once you show flight skillability in a 3-hour preparatory flight inside two months of the test
What’s the practical test looks like?
⦁ It’s carried out by way of an FAA inspector or Designated Pilot Examiner (DPE).
⦁ It consists of an oral and a flight, every lasting a mean of 1.5 hours.
⦁ Your examiner issues a temporary pilot certificates upon passing.
⦁ You receive a permanent certificates from the FAA after reviewing your qualifications.
Congratulations, you purchased your PPL, but what does it assist you to do precisely?
Private Pilot License Privileges & Limitations
The FARs state private pilot privilegesand obstacles in detail , but right here’s a roundup, you could:
⦁ Pilot any aircraft you’re qualified for, at night, and in VFR.
⦁ Fly IFR upon getting an tool score (IR).
⦁ deliver passengers and belongings, but not for reimbursement or hire.
⦁ share running charges with passengers on a pro rata basis.
⦁ participate in charitable flights and seek and rescue operations.
⦁ demonstrate, as a Salesperson, aircraft to prospective buyers.
the principle limit of the pricate pilot license is that you can’t fly for commercial purposes. simply placed, it’s tough to make money with only PPL.
talking of money, turning into a pilot doesn’t come without cost.
Private Pilot License Cost
The Cost of becoming a private pilot varies, please discuss with consultant for better understanding
It goes up or down with the aid of some grand depending on numerous factors, leader amongst which is the airplane condominium price. case in point, you can rent an old Cessna for less than 100 bucks, while a new Diamond DA40 Star runs at in the direction of $200 an hour.
aside from education prices, you furthermore mght must pay positive expenses:
⦁ $seventy five to $200 for the scientific certificates
⦁ $one hundred forty to $165 for the expertise test
What about the checkride?
It expenses $350 to $550 with a DPE, even as it’s free of charge with an FAA or DPE . The fees nothing for issuing the license.
You’d be sensible to budget $500 to $1000 for aviation books, have a look at materials, and pilot headsets among different ability prices.
Private Pilot License make up a large phase of active airmen inside the country
Don’t be fooled via its recognition, although, getting your private pilot license isn’t smooth. It includes braving strenuous education, passing rigorous checks, and paying a huge sum of money.
certainly, it takes a good sized funding of time, effort, and cash.
You’d be clever to contemplate before starting your personal pilot direction. You want to be incredibly motivated to complete it.
wondering the way to get the license inside the shortest time?
It starts off evolved with doing thorough studies, finding an awesome pilot school, and picking a good flight trainer. Thereafter, you want to examine, practice, and fly as often as feasible.

Saving Freeflight Aviation From the Snow!
Based at the Flying W Airport (N14) we have, since the Christmas Holidays, seen the Snow come and come and come. I guess it hasn’t snowed for a week now, but the big white piles still tower above many high winged aircraft on the field. As it so often happens, Murphy’s Law went into effect for our Airport’s snow removing equipment. All snow removal equipment broke down except for one lone white pickup truck with a plow. Yes, plowing was slowly being done one truck width at a time. People came to the rescue, equipment got fixed, big large snow mountains were created, the sun finally returned, and a day of good flying began again.
Freeflight was rescues by their own flight school members. Shovel and broom in hand, heavy wet snow was slowing being removed from and around our Rental Aircraft. Steve, our flight instructor miraculously appeared with his powerful red snow blower, saving us from the long afternoon of shoving, sore backs, and wet cold soggy feet. Early the next day, upon our arrived to the Flying W Airport, Shawn’s beautiful blue New Holland tractor, is seen moving snow, opening more tarmac space for the aircraft to taxi. Shawn, then, spent his afternoon clearing additional pathways to some snow blocked hanger doors. With sunny weather on the way, aircraft and pilots could now escape into that wild blue wonder. We thank our members for their support and for making our life and the airport’s life a little easier.

The design of the engine mount was revised TWICE within the first year of production. First at SN 30527, and then again at SN 30640. In June 1954, a bolt on kit in a attempt to strengthen the mount on older aircraft. By September 1955, a standard repair was added to all the mounts to again strengthen the mount. Ultimately, Cessna abandoned the original design in February 1956 and issued SL180-1 allowing owners of the O-470-A/-J powered aircraft to install the new 0751001-1 O-470-K engine mount. By 1956 there were 4 versions of the original 0751000 engine mount. In 1956, Cessna claims that the engine mount design change from the original engine mount to the 0751001-1 engine mount reduced approximately 95% of the engine vibration.
The Aircraft on the Right has a 3rd generation 0751000 Engine mount. It lacks the last set of reinforcements added prior to the introduction of the O-470-K. | aerospace |
