WINDY WEATHER PLANES
All too often, on an otherwise nice, but windy day, folks just don't fly. Obviously, for a beginner, that's just common sense - but for someone who has some experience, the wind should just be another challenge to add some spice to their flying.
While its easy to see that experience level has a lot to do with how much wind is too much, it may not be quite as apparent that the type of plane you're flying also can have a great effect on your ability to handle winds. Let's go through a bunch of airplane design features and see which ones give us the best flying characteristics to handle winds and the resulting turbulence.
Size: In general, the larger the plane, everything else being equal, the better it will handle winds of all kinds; they just don't "flop around" as much!
Dihedral: The more dihedral in a planes wing, the more it is going to be affected by crosswind gusts; it is hard to keep the wings reasonably level, and therefore lineup to the runway is difficult in a crosswind situation.
Wing Loading: The higher the wing loading, the less a plane will be affected when hit with a gust.
Aspect Ratio: Lower aspect ratio (stubby) wings will be less bothered by gusts; there is less leverage for side forces to upset the plane, and the lower aspect ratio wing has a greater tolerance to changes in angle of attack caused by gusts.
Power: Pretty obvious - having the power to overcome the forces provided by the wind is a must. The same goes when you get into a sticky situation.
Lateral Control: Ailerons are very beneficial in a crosswind, in landing and takeoff phases. The ability to dip a wing into a crosswind without changing heading is essential, as is the ability to rudder the plane parallel to the runway heading while keeping wings level with aileron while landing.
Landing Gear: tri gear planes are easier to land and take off in a crosswind than taildraggers. And the wider the spread on the main gear, the better.
Manuverability: This ones a bit harder to quantify. You want a plane with stability, yet you do need good manuverability to cope with gusts. So you want a plane that is stable, yet responsive.
Wing Mounting: Generally, a low wing plane will handle crosswinds better. This is because the CG of the plane is nearer, in a vertical sense, to the aerodynamic center of the wing. So the low wing plane is not as easily rolled by a side gust. And by mounting the main landing gear on that low wing, we can spread them out wider.
It's unfortunate that almost every item above is in direct opposition to the characteristics found in a lot of popular trainers, the main exception being the requirement for tricycle landing gear. But even with trainers, there are differences; compare a Seniorita with the Cadet Mk2. While the Seniorita may be a bit slower and a bit easier to fly, the Cadet, with its ailerons, higher wing loading, lower aspect ratio, and lower dihedral, is a far better plane flying in windy conditions.
Going a step further with the same kit manufacturer, their Cougar(.40)/Cobra(.60 size) kits embody ALL the right characteristics for windy flying.
And in closing, I offer Confucious' only known saying about R/C flying - "To learn to fly in wind, one must fly in wind!". | aerospace |

Boeing’s small GEO satellites will weigh roughly 1,900 kilograms unfueled, counting on reprogrammable, software-defined payloads which can be significantly smaller than earlier applied sciences, Eric Jensen, Boeing’s vice chairman of world business satellite tv for pc gross sales, stated in an interview.
Jensen stated Boeing designed its small GEO product as an answer for operators reluctant to spend money on conventional, multi-ton comsats within the midst of adjusting market situations and the introduction of megaconstellations.
Small GEOs could be a good match for area of interest alternatives the place quicker fill charges, smaller geographic footprints, and decrease prices are needed for getting the enterprise case to shut. Producers in recent times have begun providing geostationary communications satellites weighing a number of hundred kilograms as much as round 2,000 kilograms. Terran Orbital, Astranis, Maxar Applied sciences and the just lately shaped Saturn Satellite tv for pc Networks are constructing such satellites, having all secured orders inside the final 12 months.
Boeing’s small GEO satellite tv for pc is predicated on the O3b mPower spacecraft it’s constructing for SES’s medium-Earth-orbit constellation of high-throughput satellites. Jensen stated Boeing’s previous two years engaged on the seven-satellite O3b mPower system offers it a head begin in an more and more crowded subject.
“The one issues that we’re actually altering from our MEO variant for our small GEO product are the addition of reflectors, a tweak to the propulsion system and thermal administration techniques,” he stated. “It’s excessive constancy by way of our progress up to now technically.”
Jensen stated the small GEO satellite tv for pc is a part of a brand new Boeing 702X product line that has been beneath growth for greater than 5 years.
The 702X collection consists of the small GEO and legacy Boeing 702 Small Energy and Medium Energy platforms “married” to Boeing’s newest digital payload expertise.
“I don’t assume that what we’re revealing is the one satellite tv for pc to rule all of them, however it actually is a step in that route,” Jensen stated. Raenaurd Turpin, chief technical officer of business satellites at Boeing, stated the corporate discovered it may use digitized applied sciences and 3D-printed parts to shrink a 3,750-kilogram satellite tv for pc, unfueled, to 1,900 kilograms dry mass.
What used to require round 4,500 parts and almost 1,300 radio-frequency cables now wants simply 348 parts, and 64 cables, he stated. The 702X small GEO satellites additionally use strong state parts as a substitute of tricky-to-build touring wave tube amplifiers, he stated.
Designed for a 15-year mission life, Boeing’s first small GEO might be prepared for supply in beneath three years from a buyer order, Jensen stated.
Jensen stated Boeing is providing floor section options to help the 702X line, starting from spacecraft health-and standing monitoring all the best way to full community administration and turnkey floor infrastructure. Boeing can scale the 702X as much as a big GEO satellite tv for pc with a terabit of capability if desired.
“The fantastic thing about this payload is that as a result of it’s so easy and you may maintain it in your hand, if you need to scale it up it’s actually modular; you simply put extra tiles collectively, add a much bigger reflector, change your software program onboard and also you go,” he stated.
Turpin stated every 702X payload module makes use of a phased array antenna that may digitally generate 5,000 beams and tailor energy, location and sensitivity as wanted. He stated three 702X small GEO satellites can launch on a single SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket.
SES, because the inaugural buyer for the 702X line, has but to announce a launch supplier for the deliberate 2021 launch of its first O3b mPower satellites. Its satellites, weighing 1,800 kilograms every, are lighter than Boeing’s small GEO design, in accordance with Stewart Sanders, government vice chairman and O3b mPower lead at SES.
Sanders stated SES selected the 702X for O3b mPower as a result of competing alternate options have been typically “excessive efficiency at one or two restricted issues” as a substitute of providing the flexibility SES desired.
Some proposals, for instance, have been superb at downlinking massive quantities of information, however poor at uplinking. That meant they’d be helpful for residential broadband, which is download-heavy, however unhealthy at supporting drones that must uplink video and different massive knowledge information.
Sanders stated SES is imminently near saying its launch plans for O3b mPower. He talked about SpaceX’s Falcon 9 and Falcon Heavy, Arianespace’s Soyuz and future Ariane 6, and Mitsubishi Heavy Industries’ upcoming H3 as autos that might launch the mPower constellation. O3b mPower satellites have a 12-year design life and can use electrical propulsion, he stated. | aerospace |

Following a week of more problems for what has been called the next generation airplane, experts and analysts speculated on what the high priority review of the 787 design and assembly, particularly the electrical system, means. Wall Street Journal reporter Andy Pasztor told PBS New Hour Friday that the FAA’s move was “extremely unusual” and perhaps even “unprecedented in reacting to public pressure and public concerns.” He said it is “extremely significant” for Boeing as well. Despite the FAA certifying the aircraft for flying and some 50 Dreamliners currently in use with orders for another 800 over the next several years, the review serves as a “wake up” call for the company. Pasztor explained how the aircraft is the first one that is run electrically with parts that are manufactured around the globe then brought together and assembled at Boeing. He said that making sure that all of the parts then fit together exactly as specified, involving different entities under different roofs in Boeing’s effort to save time and money, remains to be seen. He said ceding the far-flung network of subcontractors to provide parts and subsystems in a highly sophisticated, state-of-the-art airplane will be a “big test case” that the industry will be examining. Pasztor estimated that the review will take not less than several months, although the FAA has not given a timeline. To view the interview with PBS reporter Margaret Warner, visit here. | aerospace |

While welcoming the Drone Regulations 1.0, operators said that it is a first step to curb flying of unauthorized or what they call rogue drones “Worldwide regulations are being put in place for the operation of drones. Now that the Civil Aviation Ministry and Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) has come up with these regulations, we welcome the move. It’s too early to say if it (regulations) has addressed all the issues. We will know the pitfalls in the coming days,” SN Omkar, IISc’s Aerospace Engineering Department’s chief research scientist.
Drone Regulations 1.0 is the first set of regulations and it will be revised later as Drone Task Force.
“While we welcome the move, the ministry and the regulators should be open to subsequent amendments based on user requirements. Based on the feedback, hopefully, we will have a more refined policy in place later,” Omkar added.
According to the regulations, the operational requirement of all Remotely Piloted Aircraft Systems (RPAS), except nano and those owned by NTRO, ARC and Central Intelligence Agencies, is to be registered and issued with Unique Identification Number (UIN).
Besides, Unmanned Aircraft Operator Permit (UAOP) shall be required for RPA operators except for nano RPAS operating below 50 ft, micro RPAS operating below 200 ft., and those owned by NTRO, ARC and Central Intelligence Agencies.
Civil Aviation Minister Suresh Prabhu, who announced the regulations on Monday, said that it is intended to operate a maximum of 400 feet altitude.
“The height factor (maximum of 400 ft altitude operations) is a bit of concern. It is not enough. The government should have set a maximum height of 500-700 ft. With a restriction of a maximum of 400 ft altitude operations, it will be difficult to operate drones for search and rescue operations (say in Kerala) as there would be obstructions,” said Rohit Dey, a city-based drone designer, and operator.
He added that Remotely Controlled (RC) planes clubs too would not be very happy with the regulation which requires applicants/users to apply for UINs.
“If a club has 100 planes now they will have to apply for UINs for all the planes this could be a drawback,” he said. As per the regulation, the fee for issue of UIN for a remotely piloted aircraft is Rs 1,000.
Last year when an open house was held in the city for draft drones policy, the city’s aeromodelling community had their concern over the DGCA’s draft regulations.

The crew reported a pressurization problem in the aircraft, said Kathleen Bergen, Federal Aviation Administration spokeswoman. She said Flight 1585, a Boeing 737, landed safely at 10:15 a.m. It had 147 people aboard and was headed from Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport to Los Angeles.
An airport official said the only confirmed issue was a mechanical one. The plane circled the airport to burn fuel, as a plane with a full tank of gas could be hazardous upon landing.
It took off for Los Angeles at 1 p.m.
No other information was immediately known.
American Airlines didn't immediately comment on the situation. | aerospace |

Associated Press Writer
An Air France Concorde with 47 people aboard lost two pieces of its rudder during its flight from Paris on Thursday but was able to land safely in New York, officials said.
After Flight 002 arrived at Kennedy airport, investigators found pieces missing from the rudder, the rearmost portion of the aircraft's tailfin. The vertical rudder controls turns by moving left or right, and its upper and lower sections can be operated separately.
Federal Aviation Administration spokeswoman Arlene Salac said a 1 1/2-foot part of the left side of the lower rudder was missing, as well as a 4-foot piece of the right side.
An airline spokeswoman said the incident would not halt Concorde flights.
A similar problem struck a British Airways Concorde flying from London to New York on Nov. 27. Pilots on that flight felt a small vibration as the jet approached New York, and ground workers later discovered part of the rudder was missing.
Concordes, the world's only supersonic passenger jets, resumed flying just 15 months ago after being grounded following a deadly crash in France. British Airways and Air France are the only airlines flying the Concorde.
The same plane involved in Thursday's incident, registered as F-BVFA, was forced to make an unscheduled landing in Halifax, Nova Scotia, last Wednesday after engine trouble was reported.
An Air France Concorde crashed shortly after takeoff from Paris in July 2000, killing 113 people and prompting authorities to ground the planes for more than a year. Engineers say they fixed the flaws that led to the crash, which was the first in the Concorde's 25-year service.
Last July, a British Airways Concorde turned back from a London-to-New York flight after experiencing engine trouble 11 miles above the Atlantic Ocean. | aerospace |

The work reviewed comprises the early experimental phases of a program to develop a satellite infrared spectrometer capable of making radiometric measurements in the 15-micron carbon dioxide band needed for deduction of atmospheric temperature profiles. Initially, a simplified, breadboard spectrometer with four spectral channels was used to determine the temperature profile of the lower atmosphere from the ground. Next, a commercial spectrophotometer was modified and another determination of the atmospheric temperature profile was made using more spectral intervals. Instrument specifications for a balloon flight model spectrometer were derived from these experiments. Following the model*s fabrication, testing, and calibration, two high-altitude balloon flights were conducted to demonstrate that the atmospheric temperature profile could be ascertained from above the atmosphere.

It said the landing of flight LI 774 with 43 passengers on board was “uneventful” and the “aircraft is being examined by the company’s maintenance department and will undergo the various checks stipulated by the manufacturer before it is returned to service”.
Over the past few weeks, LIAT has been experiencing a number of problems with passengers complaining of being left stranded at airports across the region.
Over the weekend, 29 Dominicans who attend the 11th OECS Credit Union Summit in St. Kitts, claimed that they were stranded at the airport awaiting a flight home on the regional airline.
Last week, LIAT, announced that its service is “expected to improve significantly with the return of a new plane to its network”.
The airline said that the service was boosted by the return one of its two newly acquired ATR aircraft which was grounded in Barbados for a week due to a technical issue that has now been resolved.
The ATR 72, a twin-engine turboprop short-haul regional aircraft, is one of two such planes recently acquired by the company in its fleet modernisation programme.
Earlier this month, a prominent Dominican businessman accused LIAT of contributing to the damage of fragile economies in the Caribbean through its poor service. (CMC) from Caribbean360. . | aerospace |

These identical robotic explorers were originally thought to be able to trek up to 100 meters (about 100 yards) a day ("sol") across the martian surface, but on March 31, 2005 Opportunity traveled a distance of 220 meters (722 feet) in a single day. This is farther than the Sojourner rover's travel throughout its entire mission. Each rover carries a sophisticated set of instruments – the Athena Science Payload – that has allowed it to search for evidence of liquid water in the planet's past.
On June 10, 2003, the first Mars Exploration Rover (MER) spacecraft Spirit was launched on a Delta II rocket from Cape Canaveral, Florida. After a seven month flight, it entered the martian atmosphere in January 3, 2004. The second lander and rover, Opportunity, followed on January 24. The rovers each had a spectacular landing, similar to that of the Pathfinder spacecraft. After entering the atmosphere, the rovers deployed their parachutes and airbags, hitting the surface with enough force to bounce back up a hundred feet in the martian air. After finally settling down, the lander petals opened to reveal the rovers folded inside like origami. The rovers had to unfold themselves carefully, deploying their camera masts, antennae, wheels, and solar arrays.
The landing portion of the mission featured a design that is dramatically different from that of Mars Pathfinder. Where Pathfinder had a lander and the
small Sojourner rover, each MER spacecraft carried just a large, long-range rover. The rover has a mass of nearly 180 kilograms
(about 380 pounds).
Each rover can take a 360-degree visible color and infrared image panorama. Athena scientists can choose rock and soil targets and command the rovers to explore their surroundings. The landers have long since been left behind, as both Spirit and Opportunity have searched out enticing clues in the soil. When a rover reaches a target, its multi-jointed arm deploys and the target is examined with a microscope and two spectrometers. The "RAT" (Rock Abrasion Tool) is used to expose fresh rock surfaces for study. Images and spectra of interesting rocks and soils are taken daily. It was originally believed that the rovers would only have the solar power capability to last for around 90 sols, or the early summer of 2004, but regular "cleaning events" and careful maneuvering have allowed them to continue to today.
One of the great mysteries of Mars comes from its marked similarity to Earth. Mars today is dry and cold, but whether this was always so, for how long Earth-like conditions persisted, and whether life ever developed has important implications for many fields, as well as simple curiosity. The mission therefore seeks to determine the history of climate and water at sites on Mars where conditions may once have been favorable to life. The landing sites at Gusev Crater and Meridiani Planum were selected on the basis of intensive study of orbital data collected by the Mars Global Surveyor spacecraft and other missions. These sites not only offer some evidence that liquid water was once present, they also have gentle enough terrain to permit safe landings, and ample light to permit solar power to drive the rovers. The rovers' scientific instruments are working to read the geologic record at each site, in order to investigate what role water played there, and to determine how suitable the conditions would have been for life.
As of this writing, both rovers have revealed substantial evidence for liquid water at some time in the past at both sites. Opportunity early on found evidence of hematite, a mineral formed mostly in the presence of water, rock formations bearing chemical evidence of long-term water habitation, and physical evidence of water-formed rocks. Spirit had more difficulty, but eventually found evidence for water near Husband Hill, one of the hills named in honor of the lost Columbia astronauts.
Both Spirit and Opportunity have contributed a great deal of knowledge to our understanding of Mars, with the rovers doing everything from geology to astronomy, snapping the first picture of Earth from another planet. Much of the data has yet to be analyzed, and will surely yield even more discoveries.

The Jet Age began in Britain in May 1941 when the Gloster E.28/39, the first British jet aircraft, made its first flight.
The first British jet fighter was the Gloster Meteor, which entered service with the RAF in 1944 and went on to serve with air forces all over the world, and the RAF never looked back.
This was the start of the first generation of British jet aircraft, from the Meteor and the de Havilland Vampire in the years immediately after the Second World War, through the ill-fated Comet airliner and the Hawker Sea Hawk in the 1950s to the Gloster Javelin, the start of the second generation in the 1960s.
In this book, aviation historian Guy Ellis looks at the development of this first generation of British jet aircraft.

Five years seems like a lifetime in the rapidly expanding sector of the small Unmanned Aircraft Systems (sUAS) market. In this time span, I’ve had the opportunity to work with a couple of different companies who provide drone services to clients, and I’ve also provided drone services out on my own. In a sector that has seen so much growth and a constant introduction of new players to the game, it’s important to drown out the false claims and hone in on the legitimate uses of drones that allow for an efficient return on investment. This is one lesson I’ve learned in recent years. I’d like to share five other takeaways from the last five years in the drone services sector.
1. It’s best to treat drones as one tool (out of many) to complement your expertise.
The most successful drone service firms I’ve come across always have one thing in common. They have experts in a specific discipline (first) and they complement that expertise with drones (second). There are too many drone service startups that have launched solely out of the excitement of drones as a technology, with the owners having limited experience in the sectors they are serving. “We serve all sectors, all the time!” A friend once told me about a drone demo day where six different UAV companies were invited to show what they could bring to transmission line inspection. At least half of the companies that attended had fancy drones to show off and fly, but no background expertise in traditional line inspection, transmission components, or any practical experience in the energy sector. In these situations, the experienced operators shine much brighter than the drones on site, and their background knowledge has everything to do with that.
2. A lot of drone manufacturers are still charging too much for their UAVs.
I’ll start by saying that there are a lot of great industrial-grade drones on the market today, with an impressive amount of work and testing put into them. Many of these units are well worth the investment. With that being said, there are still huge discrepancies in pricing between commercial unmanned aircraft systems with similar specs. An easy example is the Microdrone MD-1000 vs the DJI Matrice 210, which I’ve both flown extensively. The Microdrone loses to the Matrice in almost every category (flight time, software, ease of use, efficiency to swap sensors), yet costs CAD $30,000 more. Ouch. This is just one example, and there are many out there.
Anyone new to the UAV world is vulnerable here. One flashy tradeshow sales pitch later and they are stuck with an overpriced unit that is the basis for their drone program or drone services business going forward. We as buyers have the power to speak with our wallets and only support companies that are able to present a fair price in the maturing commercial drones market. Firms like Applied Aeronautics and others out there are proving that in 2018, a commercial UAV purchase doesn’t have to equal the purchase price of a luxury sports car.
3. Most LiDAR-mounted drones do not make much business sense right now.
Having worked in the GIS world for the past 15 years in various sectors, I’m a huge proponent of LiDAR adding value to projects and I love working with it. Its ability to model the terrain, capture forest structure, survey various sites and provide precise elevation data from a dense point cloud is impressive. However, when it comes to ready-to-fly LiDAR-mounted UAVs, it’s still a major head-scratcher to me in terms of a business investment. I’ve received multiple quotes for LiDAR UAV systems that came in well over the CAD $120,000 mark, and some over CAD $170,000 for units that aren’t getting more than 20 minutes of flight time and can’t efficiently map at 120 metres (400 ft). Sorry, not interested.
There are plenty of researchers, DIY-ers and big budget firms getting into the LiDAR UAV game, but I fail to see how a reasonable payback period is achieved with the ready-to-fly LiDAR units that are being sold out there. Working in the forestry industry, we cover hundreds of hectares on our UAV mapping missions, and when we seek out LiDAR datasets, they cover an equally large area. I cringe when thinking about some of these LiDAR-mounted units (especially multirotor) attempting to cover these areas, particularly when the flying height is limited by the workable range of some of these setups. Another factor here is that on open sites (where penetrating the canopy for terrain data is not an issue), we get amazing results already through photogrammetry without the need for a more expensive setup. Costs will inevitably come down over time, but right now in the sectors I serve I fail to see the business case here if purchasing on the open market.
4. Before you commit to that new drone application, fully examine the costs and benefits.
Every week there seems to be a headline about new drone applications, which is one of the big reasons that I love being involved with the technology. There are applications that you never imagined before, like flying over the blowholes of whales to sample them and check their health, or releasing sterile tsetse flies from long range drones to help control disease. These are very unique examples, and may well have been cost effective. Too often though, the excitement of a new application drowns out the practical accountant in the room. When I’m approached by a colleague that is excited about a potential new application, the easy answer is always “yes, we can do that with the drone,” but it might not be the correct answer.
Too often it’s assumed that introducing drones into a workflow will always save time and money and make things more efficient. While it’s great to find new applications that make sense, I often start by asking these questions before going forward:
- Before drones, what was the traditional way to capture this data? Is it cost efficient already?
- What are the all-in costs for the traditional methods vs. drone methods?
- Is full replacement of the traditional workflow the answer, or is there a hybrid solution involving drones? What would that cost?
- Is the drone replacing work traditionally completed by a helicopter? (If so, I’ve found many quick wins in this category).
- Does a field crew still have to visit the job site regardless of the drone’s involvement? … or does it significantly decrease man hours?
These are all important questions to ask, and I’ve found that it’s the cost spreadsheet and number crunching for every step of the process that will help you to determine whether bringing the drone in is worthwhile. With some drone workflows it’s easy to see the cost savings, but there are many other applications that need to involve trials and tight cost tracking before jumping in with both feet (and losing margin in the process).
5. Focus on extracting useful data. Flying and capturing data is the easy part, and it’s only getting easier.
One of the first drone applications that everyone heard about hitting the mainstream years ago was aerial photography for real estate. A big part of this was the drone doing all the work, and the lack of outside expertise necessary. Someone with a Phantom, a permit and a bit of flying experience could easily deliver a real estate photography job. Can someone still sell their house without paying for drone media? Yes. Can an 18 year-old with no photography skills fly a job like this and get decent results? Yes. Can you complete the job without advanced flying skills and high level cameras? Yes.
The same cannot be said about many other drone applications, like forest stand management, crop health mapping and quarry volume tracking, for example. With these examples, you are providing a lot of value and it helps to have a subject matter expert involved to interpret and extract the most relevant data. Today, it’s getting easier and easier to fly and capture drone data; I can teach someone to do both in a few hours. The challenge becomes extracting useful and actionable data, and to do it quickly, hopefully automating the process. Some of the best examples of efficient data extraction come from agricultural drone use. Software algorithms are run on the drone data and the output becomes much more useful to the farmer, perhaps showing where Nitrogen deficiencies are occurring as one example.
Rather than endlessly pursuing new drone applications, if you focus on the quick extraction, processing and even automation of drone data, some applications that didn’t make financial sense before may start to shine. If you can reduce the man hours and processing involved, the budget numbers change and a win-win scenario can emerge.
Whether you are new to drones or have been operating them for years, I hope you find these lessons useful… there are times when I’ve definitely learned the hard way. Good luck with your commercial drone endeavors this year!

The development came after the airline announced to ground more of its aircraft as it battles intensifying competition and liquidity crunch.
“Directed Secretary, @MoCA_GoI to hold an emergency meeting on grounding of flights by Jet Airways, Advance bookings, Cancellation, Refunds and Safety issues, if any. Asked him to get a report on Jet compliance issues immediately from DGCA,” Prabhu tweeted.
Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) on Tuesday said in a statement that Jet Airways is currently operating only 41 aircraft, just a third of its original fleet.
According to its website, the airline has a fleet of 119 planes. | aerospace |

Unfortunately, the new FAA rules have all but done away with ultralight (UL) training aircraft.
If you're reading this prior to January 31, 2010, then there are still some legal 2-seat ultralight trainers out there... somwhere... but I doubt seriously you'll find one. Instructors that owned a UL trainer had a choice: either convert the UL trainer to an experimental LSA, or continue to use it as a UL trainer until 2010. On February 1 of 2010, that trainer becomes a lawn ornament. (Or, if the owner is saavy about the ways of the FAA, they can get it re-inspected and re-certified as an E-LSA.) Still, there's a major financial dis-incentive for those owners to continue the aircraft as a UL trainer. Consequently, to be trained to fly ultralights, your only realistic choice is to take lessons in a Light Sport Aircraft (LSA) as a student Sport Pilot.
Minimum hours that most UL training required was 10 hours. Sport Pilot (SP) training takes a minimum of 20 hours, so to get a full SP license would be roughly twice what you were going to spend on UL training. And, renting an LSA during training will probably cost more than what a UL instructor would charge for using his UL trainer, so, maybe the cost is 2.5 times more. But even if the financial requirements were the same, there's another problem.
The FAA rule, by essentially eliminating 2-seat UL trainers, has also eliminated most of the trainers that would provide you with training in an aircraft with the same flight envelope and characteristics that you'll find with most ultralights. In other words, you can get trained in an LSA, but the chances are that LSA won't fly anything like a Quicksilver or Phantom. And this is the biggest hole in the new FAA rules.
So, what can you do?
Good or bad, here are the most realistic choices:
1) Get your student SP certificate; it's free at your local FSDO.
2) Find a local SP instructor (see links below, and try the yellow pages for all the local flight schools))
3) Inform the instructor your primary interest is in flying ULs and ask if they have a UL-style trainer.
4) If they don't, then your can continue to ask around at other schools, troll the Internet UL email lists for possibilities, or, most likely, just accept the training as they offer it.
5) If you get trained in a slippery LSA, then keep in mind that, upon completing that training, you will need to find someone who owns a 2-seat experimental LSA (i.e., an ex-2-seat UL trainer) with flight characteristics similar to the UL you're interested in, and try to get them to let you go fly with them. Maybe they'll even let you take over the controls a bit.
You don't even have to finish the SP course... just take the ground school, then take enough hours until you solo. At that point, you will have had at least as much training as you would in the UL schools of the good-ol'-days. Extra training is -never- a bad thing, and you'll be more than half-way to a Sport Pilot certificate, so I would encourage you to finish.
This process isn't the quickest, but it's probably the safest approach for learning to fly a UL in today's regulatory environment..
The best sources for instructors are the EAA, ASC and USUA websites:

Shack Tactical founder Dslyexci returns to narrate the first episode of season 3 of Arma's community guides. The video gives an overview of the coordination and planning required to bring infantry into a mission zone in the best military sim around.
“Helicopters fly fast, low, and can land pretty much anywhere you can fit the rotors into,” Dslyexci says. “With sufficient helicopters or multiple flights, you can transport a large number of infantry practically anywhere you need to in a short period of time… It's a welcome option, considering the massive terrain sizes of the Altis and Stratis islands.”
Ferrying infantry to missions might sound like gruntwork to you, but it's one of the most interesting and rewarding parts of the Arma universe. Anyone who volunteers to pilot in Arma is a few bad seconds away from killing all of their friends, so prospective pilots should listen up before putting on a flight suit.

Scientific and technological progress has allowed humankind to explore outer space and to gain new opportunities and knowledge about the universe. People have made tremendous progress in the development of technologies of space exploration, advancing from an uncontrolled launch of a small rocket to the present level of utilization of multiple orbital stations and space expeditions. Space vehicles can now be inhabited or uninhabited.
Spaceship consist of many parts, and the most well-known part is called the mid-deck. This is a location where the astronauts sleep, go to the bathroom, and have a meal. There is a sleeping compartment in this location, where the astronauts sleep in bags attached to the wall. The crew cabin is in the form of a truncated cone in which the crew, the life support system, the electrical system, and various equipment are located. It is contained in a pressurized shell formed of a double wall consisting of thick titanium sheets welded together. This shell is covered with an insulator and an outer shell made of a nickel alloy. Each astronaut lies with his or her legs bent in a molded bunk and has a hatch in front that can be opened manually.
The re-entry module is designed to withstand the aerodynamic forces and heat of the atmospheric reentry (Alwes and Sdunnus p. 1265). The flanks of the module are protected from heat by overlapping metal plates whose composition varies with location. The widest end of the cone, which is the most exposed to heat, is protected by a disk-shaped heat shield consisting of a honeycomb structure filled with ablative material. The reentry module consists of three sections: the rendezvous and landing containing the radar used for rendezvous maneuvers in orbit with another vessel and the parachutes, the section containing the attitude control engines, and the crew cabin (Alwes and Sdunnus p. 1265).
The service module is essentially built around a modified capsule. It is equipped with solar panels and the mooring system with the space station. It will house all the equipment needed to support life on-board crews and tanks (fuel, oxygen, water).
Concerning the landing phase, each spaceship has multiple variants and modalities for landing, depending on specific mission profiles. The standard mission profile is the conventional landing system that has proven itself time and time again. The spaceship typically uses a system of three open parachutes and several small engines that would be lit before landing. This system must allow the craft to land less than 1 kilometer around the intended place on the mainland. It is necessary that the ship equips an airbag system to reduce the impact on the ground and authorize a landing (Oers et al., p. 34). The spacecraft may or may not have a propulsion subset, depending on whether or not the mission profile requires propulsion. The propulsion system is also necessary for the shuttle, which undertakes momentum maneuvers. The elements of a conventional propulsion subassembly contain fuel, tankage, valves, and ejectors which connect to the propulsion subassembly by monitoring the temperature of these components and preheating the tanks and ejectors for maneuvering the spacecraft.
The spacecraft must be built to withstand the passage into the atmosphere and the space environment. It must operate under vacuum with temperatures extending over a wide range (hundreds of degrees Celsius, positive and negative). The thermal control subassembly can be passive, depending on the choice of materials with specific radiating properties (Feiveson and Kulkarni p. 332).
Active thermal control uses electric heaters and specific triggers such as awnings to control ambient temperatures specific to equipment limits. A space vehicle system has various subsets, depending on the profile of the mission.
A spacecraft requires a subsystem of altitude control so that it can be appropriately oriented in space and respond to external torsions and forces adequately. The altitude control subsystem consists of probes and triggers, as well as control algorithms. The altitude control subset allows the appropriate direction indicated toward the interest of the mission (scientific measurement or external intervention), toward the Sun to capture the energy, to present to a given space shuttle, or toward the Earth or a satellite for communications (Feiveson and Kulkarni p. 332).
Thus, a spaceship is a complicated device that shall be carefully prepared for operation in significantly complicated conditions for outer space. Regardless of different peculiarities in the composition of various types of spaceships, they have similar main principles of composition. Various systems of life security are installed inside the ship to facilitate the mission of the astronauts. If developed properly, these systems will help the astronauts to make longer and more efficient trips.

Once firmly in the realm of science fiction, the weather on our closest neighboring worlds now exists as fact, thanks to science and technology.
It began with the first speculation of what lay beneath the cloudy skies of Venus, which told the story of tropical jungles, teeming with life and just waiting for the first explorers from Earth to act upon imagination and discover what was hidden away there.
However, when robotic missions of the 1960s and 1970s not only visited Venus, but landed there, they abruptly thrust aside the paradise of imagination and replaced it with the reality of the science that showed it to be a barren, hellish landscape. With its thick, scorching atmosphere – the hottest of any world in our solar system – under layers of burning acid clouds, Venus remains a fascinating place that gives us a glimpse at the extremes of the universe.
But imagination never sleeps and soon Mars occupied our senses. Already imagined by astronomers to be a dry, dusty world, some of the most famous observations of Mars hinted at grand canals, built by aliens to transport water from the polar ice caps to their parched civilization.
Now, after over 50 years of Mars exploration via spacecraft in orbit, as well as landers and rovers on the surface, we actually have the means to monitor weather on the Red Planet. The information sent back by these missions confirmed what was imagined, that Mars is a desolate, dusty place, but also that the planet was much warmer and wetter, more Earth-like, in the distant past.
Again, imagination lead us deeper into the solar system, in search of tomorrow’s answers.
Robotic explorers sent to the outer solar system and beyond, from the Pioneer and Voyager missions of the 1970s, up to the most recent spacecraft, have been beaming back better and clearer pictures of the planets there, and the incredible weather that takes place on these distant worlds.
Revealed in ever-increasing detail by flybys and an orbital mission, Jupiter’s cloud bands have resolved into mesmerizingly complex patterns, and its giant anticyclonic storm – the Great Red Spot – which has been visible from Earth for at least 400 years, has been imaged and studied, and was actually found to be shrinking!
The latest visitor to Jupiter, NASA’s Juno spacecraft, is there to study the environment around the planet, and deep inside it, but will also spend considerable time and effort examining the cloud bands and the Great Red Spot, so that we can learn even more about how weather works in such extreme environments.
Saturn’s rings have always captured the imagination of astronomers, however NASA’s Cassini spacecraft has shown us the planet’s subtly beautiful clouds and its bizarre north polar hexagon, which has a vortex at its core that could swallow the Earth. It even documented something never before seen: an immense hurricane-like storm that spun up in late 2010 that, over a period of six months, wrapped completely around the planet!
Even Uranus and Neptune, the so called “ice giant” planets of our solar system, which haven’t been visited in decades now, were revealed to have surprising weather extremes.
Recently, we’ve discovered weather either where we didn’t expect to find it, or that we couldn’t have imagined studying in years past.
On Ceres, the largest denizen of the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter, NASA’s Dawn spacecraft spotted what could be fog, at the bottom of the giant crater known as Occator. Plus, on Pluto, which the New Horizons spacecraft flew past in July 2015, the backlit atmosphere revealed layers of blue haze hanging in the thin air, and it may have even found evidence of low-level clouds!
Perhaps most incredible, astronomers have recently used telescopes to collect the light from planets orbiting around distant stars, which has revealed what the atmospheres of these planets are like.
While everything we learn about these distant worlds is applied to our knowledge of Earth weather, it also fuels our imagination, to drive us further in our exploration of the universe and the answers of tomorrow that it holds.

NASA defines an airfoil to be a “streamlined surface designed in such a way that produces useful motion.” The useful motion being referred to in aerospace applications is lift or propulsion depending on where the airfoil is utilized. Other sources define airfoils to be any shape or surface designed to turn flow. In aerospace applications airfoils are not only utilized on the wing. All control surfaces are in essence are airfoils. When the vertical tail induces a rudder deflection the local flow is turned and results in a yawing motion.
Airfoil Nomenclature Edit
An airfoil is best visualized as the cross-section of a wing as shown in Figure 1. Further investigating this cross-section, Figure 2, illustrates several design features.The most important design feature is the mean camber line, shown in figure as a dashed line spanning the length of the chord. The mean camber line is equidistant from the upper and lower cross section, essentially a dividing line where the thickness is equal above and below. The chord line is a straight line drawn from the leading and trailing edges of the airfoil. The distance then between the leading edge and trailing edge is simply the chord and it is denoted by the letter c. When the mean camber line and the chord line lie directly on top of each other the airfoil is symmetric. The camber is then said to be zero since it is the maximum distance between the chord line and the mean camber line. The camber of the airfoil is the dominant characteristic which influences the lift, drag, and moment produced by the airfoil. Changing the angle of attack also influence the behavior of an airfoil.
Airfoil Naming Convention Edit
These cross-sections come in all variants of thickness, camber, and chord length. In 1884 Horatio F. Phillips patented his first airfoil shapes. The Wright brothers experimented and tested their own shape designs as well. Airfoil shape design was a much customized art early on, however in 1930’s the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA) performed an exhaustive amount of design and testing of various airfoil shapes. NACA developed a large database and produced several naming conventions for different classifications using a numbering system.
“four –digit” Edit
The NACA “four-digit” airfoils were the first developed in the early 1930’s. Using the NACA 4415 shown above in figure 2 as an example, the first digit (4), represents the maximum camber in hundredths of chord, the second digit (4) is the location where the maximum camber is located along the chord from the leading edge in tenths of a chord. The last two digits (15) give the maximum thickness in hundredths of a chord. Thus for the NACA 4425 the maximum camber is 0.04*c located at 0.4*c from the leading edge, and has a maximum thickness of 0.15*c. The alternate way of describing this airfoil is through percent of chord, for example: 4 percent camber, 40 percent chord with 15 percent thickness.
This family of airfoils was developed during World War II; they are laminar flow airfoils which have no sections of turbulent airflow. In this family the first digit implies the series; the second digit specifies the location of minimum pressure in tenths of chord from the leading edge. The third number represents the design lift coefficient tenths, and the last two digits give the maximum thickness in hundredths of a chord. This family of airfoils became widely popular due to the ability to increase the critical Mach number compared to other NACA airfoils at the time. This airfoil was also the stepping stone to the supercritical airfoil.
Supercritical Airfoil Edit
This section describes a completely different family of airfoils that were developed during the 1960’s and 1970’s by NASA strictly for the purpose to reduce the onset of drag due to the formation of standing shocks from local supersonic flows over the airfoil. The goal was to increase the drag-divergence Mach number and allow for more efficient flight in the transonic regime. Figure 3 illustrates the shape of a supercritical airfoil. The most obvious feature of this airfoil is the tail and the flat top. These two features cause for the supersonic flow to occur closer to the surface as well as maintain low local supersonic Mach numbers, and finally the terminating shock wave occurring over the and below the airfoil are much weaker than other airfoil families. The supercritical airfoil shown in figure three is the SC(2)-0412. The airfoil designation is broken down into two segments, the phase which is 1, 2 or 3 and the characteristics. The first two digits for the latter segment are the design lift coefficient in tenths; the last two are the thickness in percent chord.
- Phase 1 Supercritical Airfoils: Early Supercritical airfoils that increased the drag divergence Mach number beyond the “6-series” NACA family.
- Phase 2 Supercritical Airfoils: The extension of Phase 1 Supercritical Airfoils with “target pressure distributions”
- Phase 3 Supercritical Airfoils: Airfoils developed for studies to reduce phase 2 leading edge radii. The study was eventually abandoned.
Airfoil Characteristics EditAirfoil performance is generally depicted by a series of coefficients for lift, drag, pressure, and moment. These coefficients vary for each airfoil and angle of attack, Figure 3 shows a general lift curve plot for an airfoil falling under thin airfoil theory. This plot shows the effect of angle of attack on lift coefficient, which is generally linear. The slope of this line is called the lift slope. During this segment flow is attached to the airfoil, as the angle of attack increases the flow begins to separate and the lift generation decreases, this is called stall. Prior to stall the airfoil exhibits the maximum lift. A symmetric airfoil has a lift coefficient of zero for zero angle of attack any change in camber directly affect the lift curve.
Many codes exist to design custom airfoils to meet specific aerodynamic needs.

The House and Senate are on recess this week.
During the week
It’s a relatively quiet week here in the US as people celebrate Thanksgiving. Congress is on recess, government agencies are closed on Thursday – Thanksgiving Day – and most organizations are forgoing their usual spate of webinars and conferences.
Of course, that doesn’t mean that nothing is happening in space right now. Tomorrow (Monday) NASA’s Orion spacecraft will make the first step into deep retrograde orbit (DRO) around the moon after its successful launch last Wednesday as part of the Artemis I unmanned test flight.
Orion has 16 cameras, some on the ends of its solar panels, that send back great pictures of Earth and itself.
Tomorrow morning, Orion’s European Service Module, provided by ESA, will fire its main engine on the first of two trajectory corrections to bring it into DRO. NASA will provide live coverage beginning at 7:15 am ET. Combustion is scheduled for 7:44 a.m. ET and Orion will fly past the Moon at 7:57 a.m. ET at a distance of about 80 miles (128 kilometers). However, it will be behind the moon and out of communication with Earth from 7:25 to 7:59 ET when all of this happens. We have to wait a bit to know if everything is ok. Assuming this is the case, the second cremation is scheduled for Friday. We assumed NASA TV would also cover it, starting at 4:30 p.m. ET, but it’s not currently on NASA TV or NASA Live programming, so we’re not listing it here. Stay tuned.
The International Space Station also remains a busy place as another cargo mission is due to launch on Tuesday. SpaceX’s 26th cargo mission was delayed by a day because SpaceX is working on an issue with a coolant leak in the cabin, but they said Friday they expect to be ready for launch at 3:54 p.m. ET on Nov. 22. If the weather plays along, that means. As of Friday, the forecast was only 30 percent favorable. Backup start days are November 26th and November 27th. If it launches on Tuesday, it will dock at 5:57 a.m. ET on Wednesday, just in time for Thanksgiving treats to be delivered. NASA and SpaceX will provide live coverage whenever this happens.
On Friday, Russian cosmonauts Sergey Prokopyev and Dmitri Petelin will conduct the second of four spacewalks as they continue to outfit the Nauka science module, which docked with the ISS last summer. In this case they will move a cooler from another module (Rassvet) to Nauka. NASA television coverage begins at 6:00 a.m. ET for the roughly 7-hour spacewalk.
There is also a lot going on in Europe this week. ESA’s ruling Council of Ministers, made up of the relevant ministers from the 22 member states, will meet in Paris from Tuesday to Wednesday to approve ESA’s programs and budget for the next three years. ESA Director General Josef Aschbacher is calling for a 25 percent budget increase to put ESA on course for more autonomy in space, an issue that has gained urgency with the collapse of most of its cooperation with Russia following the Russian invasion of Ukraine . Europe and Russia have been particularly closely tied to robotic Mars exploration (ExoMars) and launch vehicles, so ESA is developing a new way forward.
While ESA desires more autonomy overall, it remains a firm partner in high-profile NASA programs including ISS, Orion, the Gateway space station that will orbit the moon, the James Webb Space Telescope and the Mars Sample Return robotic mission to collect samples to be brought back to earth by the Perseverance rover. Among other things, NASA is hoping for a formal commitment from ESA to extend the collaboration on the ISS until 2030. Japan was the first of the ISS partners to officially make this commitment last week.
ESA TV will broadcast parts of the conference on Tuesday and Wednesday, as well as a media briefing on Wednesday, followed by the announcement of ESA’s new class of astronauts. The meeting will take place in Paris, which is 6 hours ahead of Eastern Standard Time. So keep that in mind if you decide to tune in.
There are a few other things happening here in the DC area this week. Tomorrow, the White House National Space Council will hold the second of its “Listening Sessions” to gather input from stakeholders on policy approaches to the provision of mission permits and the continued oversight of space activities not already regulated by the U.S. government. NASA’s Bhavya Lal, Associate Administrator for Technology, Policy and Strategy and Acting Chief Technologist, will address Tuesday’s Maryland Space Business Roundtable.
These and other events we know of Sunday morning are listed below. Check back throughout the week for more information we’ll hear about later, or changes to it.
And Happy Thanksgiving to everyone!

The freak accident is being investigated as what caused the plane to disintegrate in mid-air is unknown.
According to Observador newspaper, three people who were aboard the plane said it started “disintegrating” shortly after take-off.
Eye witnesses on the ground also said they saw parts of the plane falling off in mid-air.
GNR police believe there may have been an “explosion” as debris was scattered over a large area and “even up in trees”.
The Pilatus PC6 aircraft, with a capacity for 10 people, belonged to Seven Air – the group that owns Aero Vip, which runs the Bragança-Portimão air link.
It took off from the Canhestros aerodrome, also run by Seven Air, for a skydiving lesson at around 7pm.
But when they noticed the plane was falling to pieces, the pilot and the seven passengers were forced to parachute off the aircraft.
An eye witness told Jornal de Notícias that the pilot’s parachute did not open.
“He had a serious injury on his head, which must have killed him,” the witness said, adding that wreckage was scattered all over the area and that all the other passengers landed far from each other.
Two Portuguese men, aged 29 and 37, were “seriously injured” and taken to Lisbon’s São José hospital. They have since been declared “clinically stable”.
Two other women were taken to Beja Hospital, while the remaining three passengers did not require hospital assistance.
According to other reports, the dead pilot was not equipped with a parachute.
Lusa adds that two engineers, from the Swiss company that manufactures the Pilatus PC6 airplane, are due to fly in to Lisbon this evening with a brief to help Portugal’s airplane accident investigation authority (GPIAA) discover the reason for the plane’s disintegration. | aerospace |

Design Substantiation Plan, Certification Plan bring flight testing activities in the spotlight. What about UAV professional testing activities? What are the Flight Test Centre trends ?
Full set of regulatory framework for the U-Space Airspace has been issued 2 weeks ago: Requirements for manned aviation operating in U-Space Airspace, requirements for providers of ATM in the U-Space Airspace designated in controlled airspace and of course the regulatory framework for the U-Space.
Previously, beginning of April, EASA published guidance explaining the process for the design verification of drones used in operations classified in the medium risk (i.e. SAIL III and IV according to SORA).
We have to remember that when drone is used in operations classified as high risk (i.e. SAIL V and VI according to SORA), EASA will issue a type certificate according to Part 21.
The ‘certified’ category caters for the operations with the highest level of risk. Air taxi, for example, will fall into this category. The approach used to ensure the safety of these flights will be very similar to the one used for manned aviation : these aircraft will always need to be certified (i.e. have a type certificate and a certificate of airworthiness), the UAS operator will need an air operator approval issued by the competent authority and the remote pilot is required to hold a pilot licence.
All these documents published recently, giving guidance and requirements, give us a better view of which evidences shall be collected in the associated substantiation plans.
Therefore, the next questions are : where shall these evidences be collected? what about UAV flight test centers? What are the trends?
Some countries are investing in Flight Test Centers, considering the forecoming drone testing activities as field for flight test specialists and advanced flight test means. Australia launched Cloncurry 5 months ago, Germany launched Cochstedt one month ago, and Canada will launch Qualia within a few weeks.
Germany opened one month ago the National Experimental Test Centre for Unmanned Aircraft Systems.
This 15M€ DLR Centre, on Cochstedt site , combines skills and expertise for the development of unmanned aircraft systems. Decided in 2018, it is be accessible for users ranging from start-ups to established air transport industry companies for research and testing under realistic conditions in a controlled environment.
Test campaigns for the first projects are already taking place in Cochstedt, with final flight testing for DLR’s City-ATM (Air Traffic Management) research project planned to take place during the summer. For the final City-ATM flight campaign several drones will fly together with approximately 100 virtual drones to recreate a complex air traffic scenario.
Australia opened its Cloncurry Flight test range end of 2020.
Cloncurry wants to be a world leader in drone ecosystem, with an $ 14,5 million investment.
The UAS Flight Test Range, with dedicated Airspace and regulatory approvals for UAS FTR operations, manages advanced range facilities across the land, maritime and aerospace domains.
It allows full UAS flight test campaign; from First flight testing, Handling and manoeuvring tests, High speed, high altitude performance testing, Sensor and payload testing.
It covers Beyond Visual Line of Sight (BVLOS) and Extended Visual Line of Sight (EVLOS) testing.
On the other side of the planet, Canadian Unmanned Aerial System Centre of Excellence Alma, was launched in 2011, and $4.3 million was invested on the site.
The industry need for a flight and ground test centre was recognized. In 2018, Qualia Test site was decided, with $2.4 million funding. It will be Canada’s first test site for RPAS.
Qualia will be operational within few weeks from now.
It includes a mission qualification centre, offering the possibility of testing in “real “ , brick and mortar” dedicated environment. It will qualify the system towards mission such as public safety, emergency management, agriculture, forestry and mining, oil and gas, and hydroelectricity. | aerospace |

Globally the UK’s space sector only receives less private money than the US.
“We’ve spear-headed new investment into the UK space sector from homegrown and valued international partners,” said Joshua Western, CEO and co-founder of Space Forge.
“The growth in our company and this sector is testament to the untapped potential of the UK space ecosystem.”
Almost all (95%) of all space investment last year was into revenue-producing businesses.
PwC estimates the world’s space activity will increase up to 11% annually until 2030.
Craig Brown, investment director, UK Space Agency, said: “From today’s satellite communications to the future of orbital assembly, space has taken on an increased significance as a deeply embedded part of the global economy that is poised to grow at up to 11% per annum to 2030.”
The country’s space activity is worth £17.5bn says the report, with the biggest investor in 2022 for UK space companies being space fund Seraphim Capital.
Spaceport Cornwall at the start of the year, played host to the UK’s first satellite launch but ended early as a result of a dislodged fuel filter.
Rocket firm Orbex is currently building another spaceport in Sutherland, Scotland.

As children of Honeywell employees working at the Kansas City National Security Campus, the students were eligible to apply to the annual Honeywell Leadership Challenge Academy. The program, commonly called Space Camp, is an intense five-day program where students between the ages of 16-18 learn what it takes to be an astronaut.
The Kansas City-based group were among nearly 300 students selected from across the globe to attend the prestigious event. Students work as a team and confront mission scenarios that require dynamic problem solving and critical thinking. Throughout the week, students are immersed in astronaut training techniques using equipment adapted from NASA’s astronaut program. They learn about space hardware, enjoy an educational water activity and experience a spaceflight mission while learning about aerospace career opportunities. Students also use interactive technology, science-oriented workshops and team exercises to teach children leadership skills in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM). The program is designed to build students' leadership skills and develop their capabilities through hands-on challenges.
To Kelsey Krstulic, the daughter of purchasing manager Tina Krstulic, Space Camp has been one of the most memorable moments of her life. She credits a rocket scientist providing a group tour as inspiring her ambitions.
“I was interested in Space Camp because I’ve always been fascinated with space and wanted to know more about it, so this seemed like the perfect opportunity,” said Kelsey, a junior at Olathe East High School. “One of the rocket scientists told us to find a job we really love and we’ll never work a day in our life. That really stuck with me because he later went on to say he’s never worked a day in his life – I want that too!”
In addition to learning and participating in STEM activities, Kelsey says the international friendships made were life changing. She’s been able to learn about different countries and cultures first-hand.
“The friends I made at camp are friends still today. We’re staying in touch through social media and even though camp is over, we still talk daily,” Kelsey said. | aerospace |

Astronauts fly from China. India flies to Mars. Rockets also fly from Japan and the Koreas.
Most of this escapes regular media coverage, but the implications are profound. Space affects the state of a nation’s economy in the information age. It influences cyberwarfare and traditional warfare. Rockets can also be sold to international customers in an increasingly cut-throat launch industry. This all drives a recent trend. Asia’s rockets are getting larger, and their operators are getting bolder in their plans.
China staged the maiden launch of its Long March 5 heavy rocket in November 2016. This is a modular system that can be 'souped up' by adding boosters or additional stages. China will use this large booster to construct its big space station, which will rival the ageing US-led International Space Station. Later this year, a Long March 5 will launch a pair of spacecraft to the moon. One will land while the other orbits above. Then, part of the lander will launch from the moon to rendezvous with the orbiter. Rock samples will be transferred, then the orbiter will fly back to earth. Sounds familiar? It’s the same mission plan used to send Apollo astronauts to the moon. But Chinese astronauts won’t repeat Apollo for quite some time.
India has also raised the bar with the June launch of the GSLV Mark III, which also represents a major leap forward for an Asian rocket. This Indian launcher is not as powerful as Long March 5, but it practically doubles the mass India can launch.
The new Indian rocket will mostly be used for big satellites, domestic and possibly foreign. But it also paves the way for big Indian spacecraft to fly to the moon and mars. India is also dabbling in the development of a space capsule for astronauts, but it is unclear if this rocket will ever carry it.
Space policy, programs and funding have been shockingly fickle in the USA. Right now, NASA doesn’t even have an administrator. Russia’s program looks stagnant, with serious quality control problems. Europe shuffles ahead but generally makes no waves. How different it all seems from the state of the world half a century ago.

Since the conversion of the A1 into a dual carriageway it has been necessary to turn off the A1 onto the A199 at Haddington or west of Dunbar to reach it. This is a slight detour well worth taking for anyone with an interest in aviation who is looking for a great day out.
The Museum of Flight is the Scottish National Aviation Museum, and part of National Museums Scotland. It occupies the hangars and a number of other buildings at East Fortune airfield. The museum originally opened its doors to the public on 7 July 1975 and has since gone from strength to strength, most recently following the restoration of two of its hangars, which in their rejuvenated state first opened their doors to the public over the 2016 Easter weekend.
The museum is home to a large and impressive collection of over 50 complete aircraft, plus many aero-engines, aircraft parts, models and a large reference library of publications and images. It also hosts a range of special events during the year and each July hosts Scotland's National Airshow.
Most visitors begin their visit at the Concorde Experience and Jet Age Hangar. Much of the hangar is given over to the dramatically lit Concorde which made an epic journey from Heathrow to East Fortune by land and sea in 2004. A range of displays give an insight into all aspects of Concorde's development and operation, but for most people it is the aircraft itself which commands attention.
And it's not just the outside of the world's most amazing aeroplane you can admire. Visitors can explore the remarkably long and even more remarkably narrow interior of the passenger cabin, and view the cockpit. The Jet Age Hangar is also home to the restored cockpit and cabin of Boeing 707 airliner, G-APFJ, the nearby cockpit of a Hawker Siddley Trident, and a number of other exhibits. In the shadow of Concorde is one of the museum's most recent acquisitions, BAE Systems Hawk T.1A, registration number XX308, which flew with the Royal Air Force Aerobatic Team, the Red Arrows.

The Museum of Flight has three other large hangars at East Fortune. Furthest from the Concorde Experience is Hangar 1, which serves as a conservation hangar and is not open to visitors. Nearby is the museum's Education Centre, while an Avro Vulcan and a De Havilland Comet are parked not far away.
The restored Hangar 2 now serves as the museum's Military Aviation Hangar. The most obvious resident is Supermarine Spitfire Mark XVI, TE462, built at the end of World War Two. This is impressively displayed so it appears to be swooping down on arriving visitors. Our own favourite resident, in a rear corner of the hangar, is an English Electric Lightning F2A used by 92 Squadron at RAF Gutersloh in Germany in the 1970s. But you will also find other post-war aircraft here including the Meteor, Harrier, Jaguar and Tornado F3, and a naval Sea Hawk.
Earlier aircraft on display in the hangar include a Messerschmidt Me163 Komet rocket plane which could briefly achieve speeds of 600mph and was the fastest aircraft of World War Two and a magnificently restored and extremely rare Bristol Bolingbroke, also of WW2 vintage. Perhaps the best way to get a feel for the the hanger and the aircraft that reside within it is from the raised viewing platform which occupies the centre of the hangar (and is accessible by lift for the less mobile among us).
The restored Hangar 3 is the museum's Civil Aviation Hangar, and again it is home to a beautifully displayed collection of aircraft and other items. Aircraft on display include classics like a Scottish Aviation Twin Pioneer and a De Havilland Dove. An earlier generation of aircraft is represented by a De Havilland Dragon, a type which first flew in 1932. Another once very common type that is now extremely rare is the Avro Anson. Here, too, you can find a fire engine that once served at Barra Airport in the Western Isles, close to a livid yellow Britten-Norman Islander that served as an air ambulance. A wide range of smaller aircraft are also on display, including gliders and hang-gliders, several of which are suspended from the roof.
A number of the other buildings at East Fortune are home to displays or exhibits. The Parachute Store is housed in a building originally used for the purpose and shows how parachutes were hung, folded and stored.
The Radar Room houses a collection that gives an insight into an aspect of aviation which is little understood by the casual enthusiast. Amongst the many objects on display are the innards of the hugely complex and (at the time) extremely advanced Airpass radar used by the Lightning jet fighter. Or you can see a demonstration of an early radar in operation, with the display on the cathode ray tube changing as you walk past. Another building is home to Fortunes of War, a superb exhibition which tells the story of East Fortune Airfield with objects and information panels, plus a large interactive map of the airfield showing its development and a fascinating audio-visual about life for those serving at RAF East Fortune.
Best of all, in our view, is the "Fantastic Flight" building, which houses a series of rooms containing exhibits that allow visitors to have fun getting to grips with the principles underlying flight itself. The wide range of highly interactive exhibits include a hot air balloon that rises and falls; a wind tunnel with an aircraft that can be "flown" within it; a hands-on display of different materials used in aircraft construction; an aircraft which can be loaded to demonstrate centre of gravity; a test area for paper aeroplanes; and a flight simulator. Plus much, much more.
Meanwhile, two of the airliners parked on the site, the De Havilland Comet and the BAC 1-11, can also be explored by visitors. The Comet opened to visitors following an extensive period of restoration.
East Fortune itself has a history dating back to 1916, when it was used as a base by aircraft defending Edinburgh from attack by Zeppelins. In 1919 the airfield was the point of departure for the R34 airship as it set off on its record breaking return trip over the Atlantic. East Fortune served throughout WWII and in 1950 had a runway extended to allow it to become a base for the US Air Force. This came to nothing, but it did allow East Fortune to be used as Edinburgh's airport while the runway at Turnhouse was rebuilt in the summer of 1961. East Fortune was also home to a hospital between the wars and from 1949 to 1997. And last but not least it has spent the last four decades as the home of the National Museum of Flight. | aerospace |

Two Royal Australian Air Force fighter pilots visited Crewe over the Easter weekend while on a brief break from training in the Virginia Beach area.
Flying Officer Nick Power, of Melbourne, and Flying Officer Jake Westcott, of Peak Hill, were guests of Molly Williams and Amelia Eanes, hosted by their respective parents Mark and Gigi Williams and Greg and Rose Eanes. Both young men are graduates of the Australian Defense Force Academy, a joint service equivalent to West Point.
The two men are F/A-18 Super Hornet pilots training with the U.S. Navy until sometime in the autumn when they will return home for several more months of additional training. They will be assigned to operational squadrons and will likely see a deployment in support of the global war on terror.
Under Operation OKRA, an estimated 600 Australian Defense Force personnel are engaged in combat operations with the U.S.-led coalition against the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS). About 400 are with the Australian Air Task Group while another 200 support Special Forces and other related operations.
The Air Task Group consists of F/A-18 Super Hornets, the KC-30A Multi-Role Tanker Transport and the E-7A Wedgetail Early Warning and Control aircraft.
The F/A-18 has multiple missions from air interception, air combat, interdiction of enemy supply lines and shipping and close air support missions for ground troops. The Air Task Group has flown nearly 1,200 missions against ISIS since September 2014.
Both men enjoyed the opportunity to get out of the urban Tidewater area and into the Virginia countryside where they were able get in a hike at High Bridge Trail State Park and visited Sailor’s Creek Battlefield Historical State Park. They hope to return to the area in the near future. | aerospace |

These developments have led to improved capabilities such as higher resolution, faster scanning speeds, enhanced target detection, and increased range.
One of the key advantages of AESA radar technology is its ability to perform multiple functions simultaneously, enabling it to track multiple targets and engage in electronic warfare operations simultaneously. This makes it highly valuable for military applications such as air defense systems, fighter aircraft, and naval vessels.
In addition to military applications, AESA radar technology also has civilian uses such as weather monitoring, air traffic control, and ground surveillance. Overall, the advancements in AESA radar technology have expanded its applicability across a wide range of sectors, making it a crucial tool for modern-day surveillance and defense systems.
Exploring the functionality and usage of over-the-horizon radar reveals its capabilities in long-range detection and tracking of targets. This type of radar system utilizes the phenomenon of radio wave propagation to detect objects beyond the horizon, which would otherwise be impossible for conventional radars due to line-of-sight limitations.
Over-the-horizon radar operates by bouncing its radar signal off the ionosphere, allowing it to reach much farther distances compared to traditional radars. The advantages of this technology include increased surveillance coverage over vast areas, making it particularly useful for maritime domain awareness and border security.
Additionally, over-the-horizon radar can provide early warning systems for potential threats such as incoming missiles or aircrafts. By taking advantage of radar signal propagation properties, this advanced radar system expands the range and capabilities of surveillance and defense operations.
Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) utilizes advanced signal processing techniques to generate high-resolution images by analyzing the radar cross-section of targets.
SAR image processing involves collecting and integrating multiple radar echoes from different positions as the platform moves along a designated path.
This coherent processing allows SAR to overcome limitations such as resolution and range restrictions that are inherent in traditional imaging radars.
The acquired data is then processed using sophisticated algorithms to create detailed images with fine spatial resolution and accurate target identification.
SAR has a wide range of applications, including remote sensing, mapping, environmental monitoring, and surveillance.
Its ability to penetrate clouds, darkness, and atmospheric conditions makes it particularly useful for military reconnaissance missions.
Moreover, SAR's capability to detect subtle changes over time enables it to monitor natural disasters, track ice movements, and study vegetation growth patterns.
By integrating multiple functions into radar systems, the capabilities and efficiency of these systems can be significantly enhanced. Multi-function radar systems have the ability to perform various tasks simultaneously, such as surveillance, tracking, and communication.
One key advantage of these systems is their ability to enhance surveillance capabilities. By combining different sensing techniques, such as synthetic aperture radar (SAR) and over-the-horizon radar (OTHR), multi-function radar systems can provide a comprehensive view of the environment. This enables operators to detect and track targets with greater accuracy and reliability.
Moreover, multi-function radar systems also optimize resource allocation by performing multiple tasks with a single system. Instead of deploying separate radars for different purposes, operators can utilize one radar platform that is capable of performing various functions simultaneously. This not only reduces costs but also minimizes the physical footprint required for installation.
In conclusion, multi-function radar systems offer enhanced surveillance capabilities and optimize resource allocation by integrating multiple functions into a single system. These advancements in technology contribute to more efficient and effective radar operations in various applications including military defense, air traffic control, weather monitoring, and maritime navigation.
Improving stealth and detection capabilities in radar systems involves implementing various techniques to reduce radar cross section. These techniques aim to minimize the radar signature of an object, making it less detectable by enemy radars.
One commonly used approach is the use of shaping and materials that absorb or scatter incoming waves, such as RAM (Radar Absorbing Material) coatings. Another technique is the application of low observable technology, which includes stealth coatings and structures that deflect or absorb radar signals.
Additionally, radar cross section reduction can be achieved through careful design and placement of antennas and other components to minimize reflections. Furthermore, advanced signal processing algorithms can be employed to suppress clutter and noise in radar returns, enhancing detection capabilities.
Overall, these techniques play a crucial role in enhancing the effectiveness of radar systems in military operations by reducing the detectability of objects with low radar signatures.
The limitations and challenges of AESA radar technology include high cost, limited range, susceptibility to interference, and complex maintenance requirements. Addressing these issues is crucial for the further development and widespread adoption of AESA radar systems.
Over-the-horizon radar technology overcomes the limitations of traditional radar systems by utilizing advancements in radar signal processing. It allows for long-range detection of targets beyond the line-of-sight, enabling applications such as surveillance and early warning systems.
Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) technology offers several advantages and applications. Its key features include high-resolution imaging, all-weather capability, and the ability to penetrate cloud cover. SAR finds applications in areas such as remote sensing, surveillance, and disaster management.
Multi-function radar systems face integration challenges in optimizing different radar capabilities. Radar optimization involves maximizing performance while minimizing interference and ensuring efficient use of resources. These challenges require careful coordination and synchronization of various radar functions to achieve optimal results.
Effective techniques for reducing radar cross section and improving stealth capabilities include the use of radar absorbing materials and shape optimization. Radar absorbing materials are designed to absorb or scatter incoming radar waves, while shape optimization involves designing the aircraft or object in a way that minimizes its reflection of radar signals. | aerospace |

SkyWest operates as American Eagle for American Airlines.
The regional jet was diverted to DuPage Airport due to smoke in the cockpit, the FAA said. Some passengers said the smoke appeared to be coming from the cargo area.
Nick Ludwig, of Cedar Rapids, tweeted a short video showing smoke in the cabin. The flight landed safely around 9:13 a.m.

He said almost immediately after the plane took off, passengers noticed the smoke. Ludwig's seatmate, a man named Jeff, said the flight attendant initially told passengers it was mist. Ludwig said she was on her first solo flight.
"The cabin started filling up with smoke. When we raised the concern, the stewardess told us that it was just mist. We knew it wasn't mist because of the smell and the smoke. So that got people a little more anxious than they probably would have. At that time, we started seeing the pilot was turning around the plane, heading back toward the airport. People still got scared. Then we heard that we had seven more minutes until landing. It was a very anxious seven minutes," Jeff said.

Since the passengers were evacuated from the plane, they will have to be rescreened before they can board again. An airline official said DuPage Airport does not have TSA facilities, so passengers will have to be bused back to O'Hare to go through security again.
SkyWest said mechanics will inspect the plane. | aerospace |

(AP) — A helicopter crashed in the woods shortly after taking off in Croydon, New Hampshire, killing the pilot, the only person on board, authorities said. The craft was reported as missing for at least several hours.
The helicopter had taken off at about 7:30 p.m. Sunday, but the pilot, who was working for JBI Helicopter Services, could not be tracked shortly after that, the New Hampshire Fish and Game Department said in a news release Monday. It was scheduled to fly to a job site in Quonset Point, Rhode Island, about 180 miles (289.6 kilometers) away.
The Croydon Fire Department said it received a report of a missing plane at about 10:30 p.m., said deputy chief Zachary White.
The helicopter was found several hours later in a heavily wooded area near the takeoff site, White said in an email Monday.
“The pilot was the only occupant and he did pass away,” the email read.
The pilot, Carl Svenson, 73, of Loudon, New Hampshire, was found dead in the heavily damaged helicopter, the Fish and Game Department said.
Svenson had been a pilot for about 50 years and started working for JBI Helicopter Services in the 1980s, the department said.
The cause of the crash is under investigation.
Croydon is a small town in western New Hampshire, about 35 miles from Vermont. | aerospace |

Using Easy Mode, as collective is raised the helicopter rocks backward and the tail strikes the ground. It’s as if I have a 500 lb gorilla riding on the tail. In an attempt to pre-empt this behavior, I start with the cyclic full forward and raise the collective. The helicopter still rocks backward, not forward, what am I missing?
Okay, found the problem, please disregard. I copied a Throttle (Collective) Profile that used a wheel on the side of the throttle for pitch trim, which was rolled all the way nose up. Neutralizing the control has solved the issue. I will be removing that assignment. Since the helicopter has no pitch control, would it be better for it to ignore any pitch trim settings??
I want to thank myself for the prompt response. | aerospace |

The talk forms part of the first MPLS Lecture Series called Oxford Sparks LIVE, where visitors had the chance to meet some of the University’s leading researchers and see the exciting work being done at Oxford across the mathematical, physical and life sciences.
The event was held at Oxford’s Mathematical Institute and was free and open to the public.
Organiser Dr Neil Ashton, from the University’s Department of Engineering Science, said: ‘We wanted to create a public lecture series that would allow non-academics to see the sort of research that is being undertaken at the University, as well as some of the companies and organisations that we work closely with.
‘This is the first event in a series of talks that is going to showcase the exciting research being carried out at the University. What better way to kick off this new series than hearing from NASA about their plans for future aviation? This is something that many Oxford academics are working with NASA to achieve.’

After 10 years, by November of 2014, the spacecraft rendezvoused with its target– Comet 67 P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko (67 P/C-G). Over the more than 2 years that followed, the spacecraft stayed in orbit of this comet, collecting details on its surface area, interior, and gas and dust environment.
And on September 30 th, 2016, Rosetta came closer than ever to the surface area of 67 P/C-G and concluded its objective with a regulated effect onto the surface area. Because that time, researchers have actually still been processing all the information the spacecraft gathered throughout its objective. This consisted of some breathtaking photos of the comet’s surface area that were acquired soon after the spacecraft made its rendezvous with 67 P/C-G.
The photo revealed at top was handled September 22 nd, 2014, when the spacecraft was at a range of 28.2 km (175 mi) from the center of the comet– approximately 26.2 km (163 mi) from the surface area. This image, which reveals a part of the comet’s surface area, was processed by amateur astronomer Jacint Roger Perez by integrating 3 images taken in various wavelengths by the OSIRIS narrow-angle cam on Rosetta.
The image is considerable in part since it caught a few of 67 P/C-G’s more popular surface area functions. For instance, to the center and left of the frame is Seth, among the geological areas on the bigger of the 2 comet lobes that is identified by layered balconies. This area decreases towards the smoother Hapi area, the boulder-strewn area which forms the “neck” of the comet that links the 2 lobes.
In the background, one can see littles the Babi and Aker areas, both of which lie on the big lobe of 67 P/C-G. In the sharper, lower ideal location of the image is the Aswan cliff, a 134 meter-high (440 foot) scarp separating the Seth and Hapi areas. Soon prior to the image was taken, a portion of this scarp collapsed as an outcome of the comet reaching perihelion– it’s closest range to the Sun– on August 13 th, 2015.
Generally, as the comet drew closer to the Sun, its temperature level increased, triggering an outburst of gas and dust that triggered a piece of the rack to break off. Observations carried out by Rosetta at the time not just revealed the area where this took place, however had the ability to get a take a look at the comet’s beautiful, icy interior as an outcome. It likewise enabled researchers to make the very first conclusive link in between an outburst and a collapsing cliff face on a comet.
This most current image to come from Rosetta is likewise considerable since it shows the crucial function that amateur astronomers are playing in the brand-new period of area expedition. Similar to the Juno objective, the processing of images is being managed a growing number of by knowledgeable lovers, maximizing objective researchers to process other objective information.
However many of all, the image handles to record the achievements of that historical objective. For beginners, Rosetta was the very first spacecraft to orbit a comet’s nucleus or fly together with a comet as it approached the inner Planetary system. It was likewise the very first spacecraft to see how the heat of our Sun changes the surface area of frozen comets up close.
The objective was likewise the very first to dispatch a robotic lander( Philae) to a comet nucleus, which occurred on November 27 th,2014 While the lander rough landing, it still handled to acquire images from a comet’s surface area. And despite the fact that the objective ended 2 years back (the anniversary of which was last Sunday), researchers continue to discover gems in all the information it returned.
On top of that, the Rosetta objective will likewise assist notify future objectives to study comets. Make certain to have a look at this ESA video from the 49 th Rosetta science workshop(which occurred from May 28 th to June 1st, 2018 ), where Rosetta task researcher Matt Taylor goes over how the objective’s outcomes will assist direct future expedition:

No: ST 024620
- 1:72 scale model of a Qantas Empire Airways Boeing 707-138, made for the Museum by Mr B.D Hede. It was received in 1959, shortly after the first QEA 707's were delivered to Australia.
Developed from the Model 367-80 first flown in 1954, the first Boeing 707 flew at Seattle on 20 December 1957 and entered airline service the following year. The British-built De Havilland Comet had demonstrated the potential of the four-engine jet airliner in the early 1950s but catastrpohic structural failures of several Comets in mid-flight slowed progress in Britain and allowed American aircraft manufacturers such as Boeing to establish a dominant position in jet airliner development, which has only recently been challenged by Airbus Industries in Europe. The Boeing 707 quickly became the most popular long-haul domestic and international jet airliner, allowing intercontinental limited stop or non-stop services with greater speed and comfort than the piston-engined aircraft types that it replaced. Typical Sydney-London flight times could be cut from 63 hours in a piston-engined Lockheed Super Constellation to just 33 hours in a Boeing 707. While still expensive, international air travel was now possible for many Australians and increasingly immigrants arrived by air.
The Australian government-owned Qantas Empire Airways placed an order for seven Boeing 707-138 aircraft in 1956. The 707-138 was a shortened fuselage model designed specifically for Qantas. The first Qantas 707 aircraft, VH-EBA, was delivered to QEA in 1959 with the others following shortly thereafter. VH-EBA was the first turbojet aircraft to be given a civilian registration in Australia. Crew training took place at Avalon airfield near Geelong, Victoria. Due to limited runway length, the 707 was not permitted to operate from Melbourne's Essendon airport on international flights which stimulated pressure for a new airport to be built. QEA had to fly Melbourne passengers to Sydney on domestic services to connect with the London flight, the first of which left on 15 October 1959. A Sydney-Tokyo 707 service began in November 1961. The new 707 fleet were later marketed as 'V-jets' and carried this name on their tails. During the Vietnam war, Qantas 707s were frequently used to fly Australian troops in and out of Saigon. In Melbourne, 707 spare parts were made by the Commonwealth Aircraft Corporation at Fishermen's Bend. The RAAF also operated the 707 from 1979 after taking delivery of two ex-Qantas aircraft. Additional 707s were later purchased and converted as air-to-air refuelling tankers to support the RAAF strike capability. Qantas' first 707, VH-EBA was purchased in the UK by a syndicate in 2005 and flown back to Australia. It is now on display at the Qantas Founders Museum in Longreach, Queensland.

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has a new webpage that houses a video, fact sheets and environmental documentation explaining the tweaks it’s making for some arrivals.
Flying Cloud Airport in Eden Prairie is seeing increased levels of air traffic this week tied to the Ryder Cup golf competition taking place in Chaska. More than 250,000 spectators are expected at Hazeltine during the course of the event, which starts with events Tuesday, Sept. 27 and runs through Sunday, Oct. 2. Most of those spectators are traveling by car, but some attendees arriving by private aircraft will also increase the daily volume of flights at Flying Cloud, which is prepared for the extra air traffic.
At its regularly scheduled meeting on Wednesday, the MSP Noise Oversight Committee (NOC) unanimously approved Resolution #02-2016 requesting a Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) environmental review and documentation of existing and future impacts to noise and airport capacity from non-intersecting converging runway operations at Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport (MSP).
At its July 18, 2016 Full Commission meeting, the Metropolitan Airports Commission (MAC) board members received an update on recent community aircraft noise topics.
This update came at an optimum time, as warm summer months promote more outdoor activity and flight activity reaches its peak at Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport (MSP).
Delta Air Lines recently announced it will be replacing some of its older and noisier aircraft that it uses for passenger services at Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport (MSP) with newer, quieter, and more fuel efficient models. Eighty-two Airbus A321 and 75 Bombardier CS100 aircraft are working their way into Delta's fleet. Delivery of Delta's new A321 aircraft at MSP began in March; Delta will take delivery of the CS100 beginning in 2018. | aerospace |

Video of the “dare devil” flight surfaced on youtube after being posted by a foreign tourist. The incident reportedly took place back in 2015. It shows the small aircraft full of passengers, flying straight towards the tumbling Kaieteur falls and the pilot lifting the aircraft just as a collision appear imminent.
Passengers could be heard screaming and the passenger who posted the video, described it as “a hair raising but wonderful flight”.
The incident was raised during a Wednesday afternoon press conference with the Director General of the Guyana Civil Aviation Authority, Egbert Field.
While admitting that it was the first time he was hearing of the incident and had not seen the video, Mr. Field appeared livid at the thought of a pilot pulling off dare devil stunts with passengers on board. He said an investigation will be launched.
“That is very dangerous operations and is not the type of operation the Civil Aviation Authority will condone and you will hear the results of those investigations, when my inspectors investigate those incidents. Operations like that could kill our tourist industry.”
He added that “We do not need dare devils as pilots”, and reminded pilots that their job is to get passengers to and from their destinations safely. The Director General said pilots who want to perform such dare devil stunts should go join the US or Canadian Air Forces and be trained in flying F-16 jets and not passenger aircraft.
After he was shown the actual video, a surprised Director General said, action will have to be taken. He noted that the Guyana Civil Aviation Authority has been working to ensure safer skies and a safer aviation industry in Guyana.

by DON HOLLWAY
In late July 1944, Mustang pilots claiming air superiority over Germany got a nasty shock. Col. Avelin P. Tacon Jr. of the 359th Fighter Group reported, “My eight ship section was furnishing close support to a Combat Wing of B-17s that had just bombed Merseburg. The bombers were heading south at 24,000 feet and we were flying parallel to them about 1,000 yards to the east at 25,000 feet. Someone called in contrails high at six o’clock.”
Already more than a mile above Tacon’s Mustangs, two stubby, tailless, swept-wing single-seaters dived to the attack. “When they were still about 3,000 yards from the bombers they saw us and made a slight turn to the left into us, and away from the bombers,” Avelin recalled. “Their bank was about 80 degrees in this turn, but they only changed course about 20 degrees....Their rate of roll appeared to be excellent, but radius of turn very large. I estimate, conservatively, they were doing between 500 and 600mph.”
The intruders slashed past the American formation. One dived away and the other climbed into the sun, as another 359th pilot put it, “like a bat out of hell.” That quickly, they were gone. “Although I had seen them start their dive and watched them throughout their attack,” Tacon admitted, “I had no time to get my sights anywhere near them.”
1944 was the year of the Wunderwaffen, German wonder weapons. King Tiger tanks. Jet fighters. Helicopters. Guided missiles. Cruise missiles. Prototype ICBMs. Railway guns. Long range superguns. Spurred by the specter of imminent defeat, projects that had been years in development were suddenly given highest priority, accelerated into production, and put into service. Having evolved since the 1920s, the rocket fighter would prove one of the more successful ventures. Whether it proved combat-worthy would be another matter....
It was the Allies themselves who forced the Germans into thinking outside the box. The Versailles Treaty ending WWI, which forbade Germany powered single-seat aircraft (i.e., fighter planes), forced its scientists, engineers and pilots into gliders and rocketry. The Wasserkuppe, the highest peak in the Rhön Mountains, served as proving ground for self-taught aerodynamicist Alexander Lippisch’s innovative flying-wing gliders. Carmaker Fritz von Opel, who liked rocket-powered cars for publicity stunts, bought Lippisch’s “Ente” (Duck) sailplane and equipped it with black powder rockets.
On June 11, 1928, just 25 years after the Wright brothers proved powered manned flight was even possible—and 11 years before jet propulsion became a reality—flight instructor Fritz Stamer flew the rocket plane nearly a mile around the Wasserkuppe. On his next attempt, however, one of the fuel sticks exploded. “The four kilograms of black powder flew out and immediately caught the plane on fire,” Stamer remembered. He put down and got out alive, but the Duck was a total loss.
When the German military reasserted itself, it looked into liquid-fuel rockets that could be shut off and re-lit. Wernher von Braun favored burning methyl alcohol with liquid oxygen, then in short supply. Engineer Hellmuth Walter preferred less volatile, more plentiful hydrogen peroxide—not the dilute H₂O₂ available at the corner drugstore, which fizzes when sterilizing a scratch, but 80%-pure “T-Stoff.” Reacting with “Z-Stoff,” a catalyst of calcium or potassium permanganates mixed in water, it decomposed near-explosively into high-pressure steam at 800° C. It also spontaneously ignited any organic material it touched, and dissolved human flesh. “If you stick your finger in it,” Lippisch warned, “then you get only the bone out.”
Von Braun’s idea for a vertical-takeoff fighter was rejected. Ernst Heinkel’s tiny He-176 prototype used Walter’s rocket, but could provide only 40 seconds of thrust; Reichsmarschall Hermann Göring dismissed it as a “nice little toy.” Prior to war, no pressing need was foreseen for a rocket fighter. Development slowed. Come the summer of 1941 it was a different story. “Papa” Lippisch, by then working at Messerschmitt, installed a Walter rocket in his “Project X” : a tailless delta airplane, the Me-163A.
Even though it burned most of its fuel just taking off, the 163A—“Anton”—climbed at 4,000 meters per minute and easily broke all existing speed records. On October 2nd, 1941, Lippisch’s favorite glider pilot, Heinrich “Heini” Dittmar, had an Me-110 tow him up over 13,000 feet with a full fuel load, cast off, and hit 1,003.67kph (629mph, about Mach .84) in level flight. “And then, things started to happen,” Dittmar recalled. “...The airplane was being pushed down by an incredible force. It took everything I had just to keep my hand on the stick. Some junk floated up from the floor of the cockpit, passed my face and stuck to the canopy....The engine quit!”
Compression shockwaves had caused airflow over the wing to actually exceed the speed of sound, producing negative lift, which killed fuel flow. Despite -11g, Dittmar managed to pull out and re-light the burner. His speed record, initially top secret, would stand almost six years.
With a wingspan slightly less than the Me-109 (30.5 feet), the 163 had 18% more wing area; even unpowered, it boasted a glide angle of 1:20. (Modern hang gliders only achieve 1:15, though wide-winged sailplanes can do up to 1:60.) The 163’s aerodynamics were almost too good. At anything over 400kph airflow held the clamshell canopy shut, making bailouts problematic. Veteran Wasserkuppe pilot Lt. Rudolf “Pitz” Opitz, who had flown DFS-230 gliders in the invasion of Belgium and now backed Dittmar as second test pilot, remembered, “The canopy would float one inch over the frame. It wouldn't blow off....We took a broomstick along to try to push up the nose section of the canopy to get it out in the slipstream and make it break off.”
In the spring of 1942 Eprobungskommando (Operational Trials Command) 16 was formed to train rocket-fighter pilots. Prewar gliding champion Captain Wolfgang Späte, now a top ace with Jagdgeschwader 54 on the Russian front with 80 victories and Oak Leaves to his Knight’s Cross, was given command. “Air defense of the homeland is going to be important,” General of Fighters Adolf Galland told him. “...I want to bring the Me-163 to combat-ready status as quickly as possible.”
The unit set up shop at Peenemünde, the top-secret test site on Germany’s Baltic coast. As adjutant Späte brought in his best friend, blue-eyed Viennese Lt. Josef “Joschi” Pöhs, a 43-victory ace with JG54 but still on crutches after bailing out of an Me-109. “I was able to drag him out of his sickbed in a flash with only a few hints about testing a rocket fighter,” Späte recalled. “...He was sure he could move his feet around enough to move a rudder. He still couldn’t depress the brake pedals, but that wasn’t necessary. The Me-163 didn’t have any.”
On May 11 Späte climbed into the same Me-163A that Dittmar had used for his speed record seven months earlier, but this time for a “sharp start,” a rocket-powered takeoff. “An Me-109 accelerated better under full power, but with a propeller, the acceleration decreased as the speed increased,” he remembered. “Here the acceleration was constant....When I pulled the handle and the wheels fell away, it felt like I had just dug in my spurs....Now all I had to do was follow Dittmar’s instructions and keep the airspeed at 400km/h. To do it, I had to continually pull back on the stick. My attitude kept increasing until I was climbing at 45 degrees. Even then, the airplane wanted to accelerate.”
Its handling amazed him even more. “Despite its unique tailless planform, the Me 163 was stable in every axis. This meant that at high speeds you could effortlessly make any course correction, in any direction, something that is of major significance for a fighter plane and is quite often lacking in other faster airplanes.”
But if the 163 was a sweetheart in the air, it was a devil everywhere else. As with his sailplanes, Lippisch believed wheels were only necessary on the ground. 163 pilots dropped their main gear soon after takeoff and landed on an extendable belly skid. The dolly, neither shock-absorbing nor steerable, required operations off wide grass fields, since without steering a concrete strip would only have been useful if the wind was blowing along it. A combination tow motor/forklift, the Scheuschlepper (Shy Tug), retrieved it from the field, at first lifting it on airbags inflated under the wings.
If the rocket cut out at low altitude, pilots were warned not to try to bank or turn with a full fuel load, but to put down straight away. “If at all possible,” suggested one, “heading straight into the cemetery to save expenses.”
With all that wing area the 163 tended to float on landing. High landing speeds (100mph in the Anton and 137mph in the “Berta” ) made overshoots common. On unprepared ground the belly skid often dug in like a plow; nor did it much soften a hard landing, as Dittmar learned when he stalled a Berta at 12 feet and slammed it down on concrete. Its skid collapsed. The shock went straight to his spine. With his fifth thoracic vertebra broken, Dittmar was grounded for two years. He was lucky. Me-163 pilots quickly became experts at dead-stick landings, or they died.
It being absolutely critical that T-Stoff and C-Stoff never came together except in a combustion chamber, there were separate handling crews for each. T-Stoff, which corroded iron and steel, had to be kept in aluminum tanks, but C-Stoff ate through aluminum, and had to be kept in glass or enamel. All T-Stoff containers were white; all C-Stoff containers yellow. Fuel trucks, clearly marked T or C, were forbidden to come within 800 meters of each other. Pilots wore flight suits of synthetic fiber polyvinylchloride impervious to T-Stoff, at least until it leaked in through the seams.
Despite the difficulties, or because of them, the challenge of rocket flight was undeniable. Famous aviatrix Hanna Reitsch, the German Amelia Earhart, used her friendship with Adolf Hitler to wrangle rocket flights in the Anton and glide flights in the Berta. On October 30, 1942, on her fifth flight in a Berta, its undercarriage dolly refused to separate. Reitsch missed the runway, came down across the grain of a fresh-plowed field and dug in, banging her face on her gunsight, breaking her cheeks, jaw and skull and almost tearing off her nose. Though she spent six months in the hospital, she still insisted on being the first to fly a sharp start in the B. Späte (who thought her a primadonna) forbade her to further risk herself. She never flew it again.
By 1943 Peenemünde was the wunderwaffe capitol of the world. Along with the Me-163, radio-guided and wire-guided glide bombs and the V-1 cruise missile were being tested. Späte’s pilots watched the first test shots of the V-2 rocket, one of which heeled over on liftoff and came down on their field, blowing up a pair of five-engine twin-fuselage Heinkel He-111Z tow planes. “Our Me-163 was counted as one of the V-weapons,” Späte remembered. “...V-weapons! Those familiar with the programs knew with secret horror that, of all the new weapons, not one was ready for deployment with our combat forces.”
With its low fuel capacity and relatively low-power motor, the 163A could only reach 16,000 feet, not enough to reach high-flying Allied bombers. Lippisch’s Me-163B, the “Berta,” was bigger, easier to produce, and could carry more fuel, not to mention wing guns. Whereas the 163A’s “cold” rocket burned at 800°, Walter was developing new “hot” motor, burning T-Stoff and C-Stoff (30% hydrazine hydrate solution in methanol) at 2,000°. However, shortages of C-Stoff and reliability problems—thrust cut-outs, explosive combustion-chamber failures—would delay deliveries of the “Hell Machine” by a year.
The endless delays with the Walter motor put the rocket-fighter program on indefinite hold. “The Me-163,” Späte learned, “unfortunately doesn’t have the same priority as U-boats, tanks or AAA [anti-aircraft artillery]. And because of it, we continue to experience all these delays.”
The RLM went so far as to ask BMW to come up with an alternative design burning nitric acid and methanol, which came to nothing. Meanwhile jet-engine technology had caught up and was moving literally full-speed ahead. Späte even test-flew a prototype Me-262. He found it neither as fast nor as maneuverable as his rocket fighter but, with its greater endurance, far more practical. “The Me-163 was a small, polished dagger,” he concluded. “The Me-262, on the other hand, was a large sharp sword....It was the means to swing the course of the war back to our side.” Disdaining the 163 with a “not invented here” attitude that eventually drove Lippisch from the company—or simply seeing the writing on the wall—Messerschmitt focused on their in-house Me-262 jet. Späte complained, “They believed the Me-163 would probably be the next project to ‘get the axe.’”
On Thursday, June 24, almost a year later than planned, and in front of Luftwaffe dignitaries including Galland and Field Marshal Erhard Milch, Luftwaffe Air Inspector General, Opitz made the first sharp start in a 163B with the new Walter rocket. Halfway down the runway, still well below takeoff speed, he hit a bump that lofted the 2-ton plane a dozen feet in the air. On coming back down it tore off its right wheel. With the left banging loose on the fuselage (and a fire truck already setting off after him), Opitz stomped full right rudder and rode the skid for 300 feet before he lifted off, dropped the remains of his undercarriage, and flew a perfect demonstration flight. When he touched down, eyes streaming with T-Stoff fumes leaked from a ruptured line, Milch awarded him 5,000 marks for dangerous duty. The Me-163B, now called the Komet, was ordered into production. A week later Lippisch left Messerschmitt.
The Allies were becoming aware of German rocket research. On July 26 an RAF Mosquito snapped photos of parked, bat-winged aircraft which Allied analysts designated “Peenemünde 20.” Over the night of August 17/18 almost 600 RAF bombers pummeled the base: just a taste of the destruction to be wrought on German cities as the Allied bombing campaign intensified. EK 16 relocated to Bad Zwischenahn, near Bremen. Townspeople, to whom rocket fighters overhead became nothing unusual (they called the Me-163 the “Moth” ; pilots nicknamed it the “Thunderbird” or “Powered Egg”) asked, “When are you going to employ your force and sweep the skies clean again?”
Eleven Me-163Bs were destroyed when the Messerschmitt plant was bombed. Production, farmed out to Klemm and Junkers, was hampered by lack of engines and components. There were critical shortages of C-Stoff, trucks to transport C-Stoff, and tanks to store C-Stoff.
Joschi Pöhs resorted to mock-dogfighting student pilots in Fw-190s when they overflew the base. “He so adeptly and skillfully used the turning capability and airspeed of his small rocket bird, as well as the acceleration power of the engine,” approved Späte, “...the student pilots fled for home in their FW-190s.”
“The men are dying to do something positive for our air defense,” Pöhs excused. “It’s an impossible situation for them to sit here week after week waiting, while bombers roar over and destroy our cities.”
Meanwhile Späte devised operational plans for deploying Komets when they finally arrived. “We should systematically disperse squadron-sized units in a network of suitable airfields,” he recommended to Galland, “...between 60 to 150 miles apart from each other. They should be built in a chain which enemy aircraft will have to fly over.”
The first 47 163B-0 models carried one 20mm cannon in each wing root. By 1944 this was already light armament, particularly against big, armored bombers. In the later 163B-1 models the Mk 151 was replaced with the 30mm Mk 108. Lt. Gustav Korff, a communications specialist from the Russian Front, signed on as the unit’s ground controller, pioneering new radar guidance equipment and techniques necessary to steer rocket pilots, within minutes, onto targets initially too high for them to see.
Finally, late that year, Späte and Pöhs visited Augsberg to test-fly the first production Bertas. Späte suited up in a polyvinylchloride hood, coveralls and overshoes. “I felt like a mummy,” he recalled. “...But wearing the suit gave me the confidence that I had a certain amount of protection against that cursed T-Agent....The designers had installed fuel tanks (in the wrong place) to the left and right of the pilot’s seat. A simple sheet of pure aluminum separated my legs from two 60-liter tanks gurgling with T-Agent. A small accident on takeoff and you’re sitting in a flesh-dissolving solution....”
However, he soon forgot any doubts he’d had about the rocket fighter. “Now I was about to find out what the Walter engine and my little Me-163 actually had in them. After the wheels dropped and the skid retracted, the aircraft really started to step out.” The Anton climbed 45° at 400km/h; the Berta, even steeper at 600km/h. In 3½ minutes it could reach 40,000 feet. “This was a special kind of airplane,” Späte knew, “...an extremely good feeling aircraft, an elegant, lightning fast, easily controllable dart....I had experienced something today that even the Me-163A didn’t have to offer. You really could intercept any other aircraft with this bird.” His only complaint was an excruciating need to fart: “I swore to myself that I would never again eat pea soup and heavy cornbread before a flight in a rocket fighter.”
Späte and Pöhs returned to Peenemünde to await deliveries. On Dec. 30 Späte was doing paperwork in his office when he heard another training flight of FW-190s overhead, then the roar of a 163A taking off. “Pöhs presumably was going to take this opportunity to chase them away,” figured Späte, who remembered suddenly jumping out of his chair. “The sound of the engine had quit abruptly....The engine must have flamed out shortly after takeoff....Then an explosion shook the barracks walls and windows as though a bomb had gone off.”
Späte jumped in a car and raced to the crash site, 1½ miles away on the far end of the field. It was Pöhs. “He had not tried to bail out as the airplane had never got high enough for him to use his parachute. He had succeeded in turning the aircraft back towards the base—among us pilots, that was known as the ‘death turn’ since so many have crashed attempting it. But, as he soared in over the landing area, he came face-to-face with a radio antenna. He didn’t have enough controllability left to avoid it. He clipped the tower with a wing tip and the aircraft did what we call a ‘pole vault,’ digging a wing tip in the ground and cartwheeling.”
The Messerschmitt’s remains lay on its back. “I saw two legs protruding from the broken nose section. They belonged to my best friend! Mindlessly ignoring all regulations, I waded through the [extinguishant] slime and foam to the airplane and looked into the crushed cockpit area. I recognized that there was absolutely no chance of survival....‘I want everyone who is not directly connected with the recovery operation to leave the scene immediately,’ I ordered.”
The accident report concluded that when Pöhs dropped his undercarriage, it had rebounded so hard and high that it stuck the aircraft’s belly, breaking a T-Stoff line and causing the rocket to automatically shut down. Worse was the post mortem report: while Pöhs was trapped in the cockpit, he had been inundated with T-Stoff. “Even though he was wearing a protective suit,” Späte was told, “his entire right arm had been dissolved by T-Agent. It simply wasn’t there. The other arm, as well as the head, was nothing more than a mass of soft jelly.” His friends could only hope Pöhs had been killed instantaneously or at least knocked unconscious in the crash.
In January 1944, nearly two years after delivery of the first 163B, EK 16 finally received its first operational models, but “operational” did not mean gremlin-free. The unit spent weeks wringing them out to resolve engine flame-outs and other issues. In February, Späte suffered a ruptured fuel line on takeoff. With his cockpit filling with T-Stoff fumes, his overheat indicator lit up, and his fuel-dump valve lever inoperative, he had to put his flying bomb down on six inches of snow: “The bird started sliding on its steel skid like a skier coming down a well prepared slope.” Before it skidded off the airfield grounds into the trees, Späte popped his canopy and rolled off the wing, sustaining a concussion in the process. “It was unthinkable,” he wrote, “to consider sending a single airplane that had such an unreliable engine into combat, let alone deploying an entire squadron.”
First kill of a rocket fighter?
The day after Tacon’s inconclusive tangle, Capt. Arthur J. Jeffrey, leading four P-38J Lightnings of the 479th Fighter Group, spotted a crippled B-17G, She Hasta, of the 100th BG:
Jeffrey’s wingman, Lt Richard G Simpson, reported, “After about 4000 ft of climbing the Me 163 turned to the left and Capt Jeffrey attacked again. I had one bad engine and couldn't climb as fast, so I couldn’t see if he was getting strikes or not. Then the Me 163 split-essed and went down into a very steep, almost vertical, dive. Capt Jeffrey and I followed, but I couldn't keep up with them. I started to pull out at between 3,500-4,000 ft, indicating a little over 400 mph. The Me 163 went into the clouds, which were at around 3000 ft, still in a dive of 80 degrees or better. He must have been indicating 550-600 mph, and showed no signs of pulling out. I don't see how the German could have gotten out of that dive.”
Jeffrey claimed a probable, and was famously awarded the first rocket-fighter kill of the war, but the Germans actually recorded no Komets lost or even damaged that day. The 163 was so slippery that, even with its engine off and tanks empty, it could out-plummet Allied fighters diving on full power, and with those big bat wings, pull out later too. (Lightning pilots were actually forbidden to power-dive because compressibility might tear the tail off their airplane.)
As Lieutenant Hartmut Ryll put it, “Our bird hangs in there, steady as a rock. The Americans break off their attack relatively early. And by the time the airspeed dissipates back out of the 900km/h area, you're already back in the local area and under the protection of our own flak.”
Top-scoring rocket-fighter pilot of all time
On August 24, 1944, Sgt. Siegfried Schubert claimed one B-17 of the 92nd Bomb Group (Lt. Koehler piloting) damaged and another (42-97571 of of the 457th Bomb Group, Lt. Winifred Pugh piloting) destroyed. Unknown to Schubert, Koehler’s aircraft never reached England. On Sept. 8th Schubert’s gun-camera film was exhibited to Oberkommando der Luftwaffe (Air Force High Command), upon which General of Fighters Adolf Galland declared the Me-163 fully operational.
On October 7th, Schubert shot down two more B-17s to bring his total to three. That same day he was killed when his Komet exploded on takeoff.
Efforts were ongoing to solve the rocket fighter’s lack of endurance and firepower. A spare 163A received under-wing racks with two-dozen unguided R4M rockets—a rocket-firing rocket—but they offered no improvement in range, trajectory or explosive power over 30mm cannon. More promising was the Jägerfaust, the “fighter fist,” ten recoilless 50mm wing guns automatically firing upward when the Komet passed under a bomber. Simultaneous firing initially blew off the 163B’s canopy. A sequential delay was built into the trigger system. Meanwhile Walter was working on a new rocket with (comparatively) long-range cruise capability. It was to be fitted into the stretched-fuselage Me-163C, but that was passed over in favor of the even more advanced Me-163D with retractable wheels, and finally the Me-263 with cruise rocket, landing gear, and pressurized cockpit. Only three prototypes, however, were complete by war’s end.
With the Komet in perpetual development, in July 1944 the Luftwaffe established a Jägernotprogramm, Fighter Emergency Program: a quick and dirty solution to the Allied bombers pummeling Germany. Engineer Erich Bachem’s Ba 349 Natter (“Snake”) would operate more like a guided missile: a vertical-takeoff, semi-disposable manned rocket. The Luftwaffe rejected the concept, so Bachem put it in front of Heinrich Himmler. The Reichsführer-SS, desiring to give his personal army some air power, approved the idea.
To this day the Me-163 Komet remains the only rocket-powered combat aircraft. Its pilots—those who survived—had the satisfaction of knowing they flew the hottest bird in the sky. In the final weeks of the war B-17 pilot Edward F. Reibold was startled to find a rocket fighter flying his wing, just out of machinegun range. “Without changing direction, he slid into within a few feet of our left wing tip,” the bomber pilot remembered. “We were, at the time, traveling at an airspeed of approximately 285mph. The pilot of the German plane hesitated off our wing, nodded, threw us a ‘Highball’, pushed his throttle forward and accelerated forward in flight leaving us ‘standing’ in mid air.”
“They were all filled with an intractable urge to serve their Fatherland in a special way,” remembered Späte of his pilots. “...They were ready to give their lives in order to fulfill their dream of flying in a rocket.”

in today’s Fact Friday we talk about the SR-71, one of the most beautiful aircraft ever made, usually also referred to as Blackbird due to its characteristic colour.
During its missions, the SR-71 operated at speeds and altitudes so high, that the standard evasive action in the case a surface-to-air missile launch was detected was to simply accelerate and outfly the missile.
Many are the myths and legends related to this aircraft, one of the most (in)famous is sure to be the one of the fuel leaks.
Like most aircraft, the SR-71 kept its fuel in wet wing tanks to maximize volume, but, the heat of sustained supersonic flight (the cruise speed was above Mach 3.2) made it hard for the engineers to find a sealant that would allow the tanks to hold their contents both at ambient and supersonic temperature.
Actually, this problem was never solved, and the leakage was simply “accepted”, thus the SR-71 always leaked fuel on the ground and in subsonic flight. However, leaks were measured in drips per minute, and were not significant compared to the overall capacity.
But wait, there is more! Due to the high temperatures reached due to the cruise flight speed (c.a. 300°C) there was the need to use a new jet fuel that was not affected by the heat, so JP-7 jet fuel was developed for this purpose. This fuel itself was so stable that “you could throw a lighted match into a pan of it and it would go out” and was hence used also as a coolant for the whole aircraft. Thus overall, those leaks were definitely not dangerous for the other members of the ground crew as you might think! | aerospace |

Over the next four years I’m looking forward to many exciting discoveries from the Cassini probe. Cassini has already made observations that indicate to scientists that Saturn’s moon Phoebe is an ancient object formed at the beginning of the solar system like the Kuiper Belt objects, but, unlike them, Phoebe was captured by Saturn’s gravity rather than being swept out past the orbit of Pluto. Latest findings also reveal that the rotation of Saturn may be highly variable. Of course, I’ve always wondered how scientists could pin down the rotation period of a tiny ball of liquid hydrogen nested deep within a gigantic ball of gas.
Saturn’s moon Titan will get some special attention as Cassini will release the Huygens lander to take data from the surface. Scientists believe that the conditions on Titan represent those of the Earth of four and a half billion years ago. | aerospace |

The EGNOS service area includes most European countries.
The European Satellite Services Provider (ESSP) is the EGNOS system operator and service provider. Information on the status and performance of EGNOS and the availability of the geostationary satellites, is supplied at the ESSP User Support Website.
Additional information can be found on the European Space Agency website.
EGNOS geo footprint
EGNOS Real Time Performance (ESA).
On 1st October 2009, the European Commission declared that EGNOS's basic navigation signal became operationally ready as an open and free service.
EGNOS Open Service provides Europeans with unprecedented positioning precision by improving the accuracy of GPS.
The continuous monitoring of the EGNOS signal shows that it improves the accuracy of GPS to within one to two metres and is available more than 99 percent of the time. By comparison, someone using a GPS receiver that is not EGNOS enabled can only be sure of its position to within 17 metres.
In announcing the availability of the Open Service, the Commission confirms that this level of performance is available for the long term and that the signal can be used without any charges.
Receiver manufacturers and application developers are able to provide their customers with the benefits of the GPS performance improvements simply by adding EGNOS capability to their products. No authorisation or receiver-specific certification is required.
The EGNOS service area includes all European states.
Safety of Life signal
In addition to the enhanced accuracy provided by the OS, the EGNOS Safety of Life (SoL) service provides the stringent integrity, continuity and availability required to support Civil Aviation applications up to LPV (Localizer Performance with Vertical guidance) operations.
The EGNOS SoL service will also be usable in a wide range of other application domains (e.g. Maritime, Railways, Road…) but, at this stage, a detailed performance characterisation has only been conducted against the requirements expressed by civil aviation. The SoL Service is certified since March 2011.
The EGNOS Data Access Service (EDAS) provided by the ESSP consists of the provision in almost real time of the same data that is broadcast by the EGNOS satellites (EGNOS Message) along with the GPS and Glonass measurements at all the stations of the EGNOS monitoring network (RIMS and NLES).
These data are obtained from the EDAS server through an specific interface software (EDAS Client Software) that is provided to the EDAS user upon registration. | aerospace |

The aircraft is named after the Geopelia, a genus of small long-tailed doves.
The XR-900 shares many design similarities with the X-49 Night Raven, both being a strange bi-wing design stacked atop each other, connected to the main "body" and via the wing tips. However, the XR-900's wings are more curved in shape, and angle downwards to connect via the wing tips, as opposed to the Night Raven's more boxy design. Like the Night Raven, the XR-900 uses Aeon engines to fly, which emit a distinct green particle effect when the jets speed up. The XR-900 also possesses its own Laser Cannon, and combat statistics on par with the Night Raven.
The Geopelia was developed by Neucom with the help of former General Resource engineers involved with the X-49 Night Raven, who abandoned the company after the Darkness of Enigma project's cancellation. Noticing the risks of the Opto-Neuron-Synapse-Interface system, it was developed as an unmanned aircraft from the beginning. Research on AI control was carried out under the "Gepetto Project". A conventional Aero Coffin cockpit was installed in early flight tests, but was deactivated in the final version.
In the "General Resource" branch of the simulated Intercorporate War, a group of eight Geopelias launched from the remains of Megafloat and attacked the city of Port Edwards. Nemo took off from the local airfield and engaged the rogue drones. After sufficiently damaging one of the Geopelias, Nemo transferred itself to the jet and assumed control, using it to destroy the other aircraft. After the battle, it and the Geopelia landed at the local General Resource airfield. Upon parking, the cockpit was opened to reveal nothing but the seat of the pilot.
Ace Combat 3: Electrosphere
- "An aircraft developed by engineers involved on the Night Raven at General Resource after they transferred to Neucom. Using the Night Raven's design as a basis, they utilized different technology offered by Neucom. It is being redesigned to be a UAV, using AI to autonomously carry out combat operations. Currently, it is equipped with a COFFIN system for test flights, but is planned to have it removed once testing is completed to decrease weight and allow for higher mobility."

The Russian Ministry of Defence (MoD) has settled on two potential replacement platforms for its ageing Antonov An-26 'Curl' transport aircraft, state media disclosed on 24 June.
Deputy Defence Minister Yury Borisov said the air force will adopt either the Antonov An-140 or Ilyushin Il-112 twin-turboprops to replace the Soviet-era An-26 over the coming years, RIA Novosti reported.
According to the minister, no timetable has yet been decided upon, and the MoD is currently weighing up its options.
In June 2012 IHS Jane's reported that the then new Commander-in-Chief of the Russian Air Force, Major General Victor Bondarev, was looking to replace the An-26 as part of a wider move to modernise much of the air force's outdated inventory.
The An-26 is a twin-engined turboprop aircraft designed and produced in the USSR from 1969 to 1985.
The An-140-100 was developed by Russia's Antonov design bureau as a replacement for the An-24 and An-26 series aircraft. It can carry up to six metric tons of cargo to a range of over 2,000 kilometers, and can be used for patrol, military transport and special-ops missions.

The Nova-C lander, developed by Intuitive Machines (IM) – a commercial space company – also achieved a remarkable feat by becoming the first privately-owned spacecraft to reach the lunar surface. This was the first time an American spacecraft had made a soft landing on the moon since the end of the Apollo program in 1972.
The Odysseus landing followed India’s successful lunar mission in August 2023, when the Chandrayaan-3 lander became the first Indian spacecraft to land safely on the moon. India also accomplished a historic first by landing a robotic rover on the lunar South Pole, a region that had never been explored before in the 21st century.
LIVE NOW: NASA science is landing on the Moon aboard @Int_Machines’ uncrewed Nova-C lander, named Odysseus.
“We are on the surface, and we are transmitting,” Intuitive Machines CEO Steve Altemus announced on the webcast. “Welcome to the moon.” The company has not yet confirmed the status of the lander, but it has established contact with the moon. The Odysseus spacecraft landed near Malapert A, a crater near the moon’s south pole.
According to NASA, this site is “(A) relatively flat and safe region is within the heavily cratered southern highlands on the side of the Moon visible from Earth.” The spacecraft faced some communication issues before landing, and it missed the expected landing time.
However, an Intuitive Machines flight controller reported that the lander was “not dead yet” and they had received a “faint signal”. The US is the only country that has sent humans to the moon, with the last manned mission being Apollo 17 in 1972. NASA said it selected this landing site for Intuitive Machines’ first mission because it wanted to learn more about the lunar environment and how communications work in this area. NASA also has plans to explore the lunar south pole because it believes it is the ideal location for a future astronaut base. | aerospace |

Having a direct flight from Chandigarh to Bangkok will open up possibilities of travelling to Australia via Bangkok, where a lot of NRIs reside. Currently there are only two international flights from Chandigarh: Dubai and Sharjah - which are not viable options in case one wants to travel to Australia, New Zealand and other countries in the eastern part of the world.
Several other pending issues with the international airport were also discussed during the resumed hearing before the Punjab and Haryana High Court. Wi-Fi is being installed by BSNL at the airport. A parallel runway is also being planned having CAT-III ILS (an advanced Instrument Landing System). An ATM will be installed in the departure area soon. | aerospace |

Bring the family to the Battle Of Britain Air Show at Headcorn Aerodrome this July. One of you can take the Tiger moth Air Experience - Take the controls of a DH 82 and follow the training path of WW2 Spitfire pilots - no flying experience required! The Battle of Britain Air Show has attractions for all the family including flight experiences, a funfair and stalls. Between 2 - 4 pm enjoy our Battle of Britain display featuring representative aircraft of the Battle of Britain era.
The Tiger Moth is a classic 1930's open cockpit biplane. One of you will have a unique 15 minute Airshow experience, enjoying boarding and strapping in the aircraft, a taxi run, take-off with 5 minutes airborne then landing, taxi run and disembarkation.
The majority of the R.A.F.s pilots learnt to fly in her before progressing to such types as the Spitfire, Hurricane, Lancaster, Sunderland etc. There are only a small number of Tiger Moths that remain fully certified for trial Tiger Moth flights and therefore this represents a rare opportunity to undertake a flight in one of these classic aircraft and experience what it was like to be an RAF Pilot trainee in the Second World War.
After parking, you make your way on foot to the show entrance where you will be asked for your booking confirmation paperwork. We will issue you with a Vintage Flight Folder which includes your Family Airshow ticket - valid for the day - two adults and two children (0 - 4 year olds are free) and an Official Air Show Programme. You will need to make your way to the Aero Legends flight operations area, next to the runway fence, 15 minutes before your flight time.
The de Havilland DH.82 Tiger Moth was the principal type used in the British Commonwealth Air Training Plan where thousands of military pilots got their first taste of flight. The RAF found the Tiger Moth's handling ideal for training future fighter pilots. A robust little machine, it is generally docile and forgiving in normal flight. The Tiger Moth responds well to control inputs, and is fairly easy to fly for a tail-dragger. Its large "parachute" wings are very forgiving, and it stalls at a speed as slow as 25 knots with power. The Tiger Moth's biplane design makes it strong, You will be in constant communication with your instructor through your flying helmet. The instructor will handle the take off and landing - at their discretion you will be introduced to the flight controls.
Photography and video
Phones and cameras can be used during your flight if they are secured by a neck lanyard or wrist strap. Spectators and family members can take photos and videos from the ample viewing areas along the runway fence at the aerodrome.
Booking Your Battle Of Britain Air Show Tiger Moth Air Experience
Buy the experience online, you get an email voucher/receipt, then call us to book a day and flight time. Alternatively, phone us to buy and book the flight at the same time. Saturday or Sunday Flight times are available between 08:15 & 13:15 or 15:45 to 19:15. Strictly limited availability. The flight experience is transferable to alternative flying event dates should the flight be cancelled due to poor weather or any other circumstance.
We could not let this week end without saying a big ‘thank you’ to you all for a brilliant afternoon this week. I had the most memorable experience flying over Leeds Castle in your World War II RAF de Havilland Tiger Moth trainer. The afternoon, meeting and talking with you all really was the icing on the cake for me.
Just to say a big thank-you to all involved with Jane’s birthday Tiger Moth flight this afternoon. She enjoyed it immensely and is still smiling about it this evening,one to remember!
Just a line to say what a superb experience I had flying in the Tiger Moth last Saturday. Almost seemed surreal . The pilot was fantastic, calm, clear and friendly which indeed made the experience all the much better. Thank you for making my day. | aerospace |

Yes, with Curiosity hopefully landing safe and sound on the surface of Mars early Monday morning, people are once again talking about space travel.
Before getting images back from Curiosity, you can get your space fix by exploring NASA’s Kennedy Space Center via Google Street View.
This is where humans have been blasting off into space for the last 50 years, and Google has the place covered with 6,000 images. It’s the largest special collection of Street View imagery Google has ever put together.
So, what is there to see? You can chill at the top of the launch pad, check out massive space shuttle engines and gaze up at the ceiling of the Vehicle Assembly Building, which, as Google notes on its blog, is taller than the Statue of Liberty.
Sadly, NASA isn’t planning on sending astronauts into space anytime soon; it ended its space shuttle program last July, when Atlantis safely touched down at the Kennedy Space Center. The United States currently partners with Russia to send astronauts up in Soyuz rockets.
While Curiosity might temporarily drum up interest in space exploration, none other than astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson believes only one thing will lead to a resurgence in America’s space program — sending humans to Mars.
Hmm, I think I have an idea where Google should do its next Street View collection… | aerospace |

When I first bought the glider, QQ was equipped with an ILEC SN-10B. The ILEC SN-10B is quite old as far as flight computers go, but it's still quite capable for doing many navigational and contest tasks. However, when I got the flight computer, there was a small problem with it. One of the pins in that flight computer's serial cable had broken, which made it impossible to upload information into the SN-10. I replaced the SN-10 with an LXNav 8080.
I installed the LX8080 a few days before my first contest at Mifflin, and quite frankly had no idea how to operate it on the first day of the contest. By the end of the contest, I had figured out most of the things I needed to do to make it useful. Over the next 3 years, I grew to master its function, and actually got to like it. It was much better than the old SN-10 that it replaced.
I had ordered brand new blank instrument panels from the glider's manufacturer in August of 2019. By December 2019, I had ordered all of the equipment for the replacement panel. Items started showing up in January and February. I had a friend do most of the work in cutting out the holes in the panel with a laser cutter, a router, some drills, some files and sandpaper.
I spent many evenings wiring up the back of the panel. I sent a nightly email to the certified aircraft inspector who decided to mentor me through this whole thing.
By June, I was flying with the new instrument panel. The whole task of doing the panel upgrade was a huge effort and deserves a page of its own.
|Functionality test to ensure all components got power
(and nothing caught on fire)
After everything was installed, we performed a weight and balance. I created a Google Sheets document to simplify the task of handling all the data for weight and balance (W&B): pilot mass, parachutes, wing water, tail water. There are many things that have to be verified when handling the weight and balance. If there are any items out of the required parameters, the checklist shows a warning or an error bar. All of the numbers show up on steam gauges on the spreadsheet.

Engineered Propulsion Systems Inc., a New Richmond startup that is developing a new type of diesel engine for general aviation, has raised $1.4 million from three investors.
The funding brings to $16.2 million the total amount of equity and convertible notes the company has raised since forming in late 2010, said Paul Mayer, its chief financial officer. The company does not disclose the identities of its investors.
Engineered Propulsion is designing its lightweight, high-performance, water-cooled engine to replace the air-cooled gasoline engines used in smaller planes, which the company says have high fuel consumption relative to their power and antiquated fuel induction and ignition technology.
The company in October received a $4.7 million contract from the U.S. Air Force for testing the engine, Mayer said. It had previously received a $2.95 million Air Force contract that was completed in 2014.
Engineered Propulsion has about 25 employees, most of whom work in its 8,000-square-foot production facility in New Richmond, which is in St. Croix County, near Hudson. It ran a test flight with its proof-of-concept engine in the Mojave Desert in 2013, and plans to test its phase two, preproduction engine at its facility next week, Mayer said. Ninety-five percent of the parts in that engine were made by the company, he said.
Engineered Propulsion is planning to build a phase three engine in the first quarter of 2016 that then will go through the Federal Aviation Agency's certification process. It hopes to be producing as many as 2,000 engines by 2021, Mayer said. They would sell for more than $100,000 each, he added.

Embraer delivered a complete of 51 jets in the next quarter of 2019 (2Q19), which 26 were commercial aircraft and 25 were executive jets (19 light and 6 large). By June 30th, the firm order backlog totaled USD 16.9 billion in comparison to USD 16.0 billion by the end of 1Q19. Embraer’s 2Q19 backlog increase is because of continued market demand largely, for the brand new category of Praetor jets in Executive Aviation mainly. See details below:
In the next quarter, Embraer received the sort Certificate for the E195-E2 from three regulatory authorities: ANAC, the Brazilian Civil Aviation Agency (Agência Nacional de Aviação Civil); the FAA (U.S. Federal Aviation Administration) and EASA (European Aviation Safety Agency). The E195-E2 may be the largest of the three members of the E-Jets E2 category of Embraer commercial airplanes.
In the start of the 2Q19, Embraer signed a company order for 10 E195-E2 jets with Air Peace, Nigeria’largest airline s. The contract includes purchase rights for an additional 20 E195-E2s. With all purchase rights being exercised, the contract includes a value of USD 2.12 billion.
During the 53rd International Paris Air Show, Embraer announced several sales contracts the following. All values derive from Embraer’s current list prices.
United Airlines signed a contract for 39 E175s, comprising 20 firm aircraft and 19 options. The order includes a value of USD 1.9 billion with all options being exercised. Binter, of Spain, confirmed the purchase rights for just two additional E195-E2s from the initial contract signed in 2018. Both new E195-E2s have a value of USD 141.8 million.
Embraer announced KLM Cityhopper&rsquo also;s intention to get around 35 E195-E2 jets, comprising 15 firm orders with purchase rights for an additional 20 aircraft of exactly the same model. This intention to get, which takes a Purchase Agreement still, includes a value of USD 2.48 billion.
Google News, Bing News, Yahoo News, 200+ publications
Embraer announced through the Paris Air Show that it signed a contract with Japan’s Fuji Dream Airlines (FDA) for a company order of two E175 jets. The order includes a value of USD 97.2 million and had been contained in Embraer’s 1Q19 backlog as “undisclosed.”
In the executive aviation segment, Embraer received the sort Certificate for the brand new Praetor 600 super-midsize business jet by the three main world regulatory agencies: ANAC, the FAA, and EASA. In June to an undisclosed European customer the initial Praetor 600 was delivered.
Embraer Defense & Security and ELTA Systems Ltd (ELTA), a subsidiary of Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI), signed at the 53rd International Paris Air Show a Strategic Cooperation Agreement to introduce the P600 AEW (Airborne Early Warning). In this cooperation, Embraer would be to provide the oxygen platform, ground support, communications aircraft and systems integration while ELTA would be to supply the AEW radar, SIGINT (Signals Intelligence) along with other electronic systems and system integration.
Embraer Services & Support announced at a contract be showed by the Paris Air with Azul Linhas Áereas Brasileiras, S.A. for a long-term Flight Hour Pool Program agreement for the carrier’s completely new fleet of Embraer E195-E2 jets. THE BUSINESS announced pool maintenance and parts agreements with Helvetic Airways also, from Switzerland, and Aurigny Air Services, from the Guernsey Island. Through the MRO Americas event, april in early, Embraer announced support contracts with Air Botswana also, Binter, from Spain, and Mauritania Airlines.

This machine was specially designed as an escort for troop carrying helicopters to meet a Army helicopter pilot Army requirement. The whole development was completed in very short terms. Eventually this machine was a turning point in the development of helicopter technology and its application.
This armored gunship was a step forward from the previous transport helicopters, that carried only defensive weapons. It opened a new era in warfare. Based on the Bell Model UH-1D utility helicopter, the Model introduced a new slim fuselage with a fighter-type cockpit.
The US Army liked this machine and the first order was placed in The new helicopter was designated as the AH-1G.
Production commenced during the same year. The Cobra first saw service in Over 1 AH-1Gs were delivered in the first four years. This helicopter is often called the Huey Cobra. It saw extensive service in Vietnam. Furthermore it was one of the most valuable US weapons during that war.
Engine and transmission were borrowed from UH The original version of the Cobra was powered by a single Lycoming TL turboshaft engine, developing 1 shp. This helicopter has a narrow fuselage and was specially designed to be as small target as possible to enemy ground fire.
Due to the streamline shape and lighter weight, the original version had a top speed of nearly double that of the transport helicopters that it escorted. Also this gunship was extremely maneuverable.
This helicopter had simple but tough landing skids, rather than complex retractable undercarriage. Under the nose there was a turret, that could mount miniguns, cannons, or grenade launchers.
The turret could pivot to both sides of the helicopter, as well as up and down. The turret was controlled by the gunner, seated at the front. Also the pilot in the rear could fire the turret, if it was locked in the forward position.
Early Vietnam models were armed with single or twin 40 mm automatic grenade launchers, or twin 7. On second-generation models it was replaced by a harder-hitting 3-barrel rotary cannon. The Cobra could carry kg of weapons on its stub wings.
The DUSTOFF Association is a nonprofit organization for Army Medical Department enlisted and officer personnel, aviation crewmembers, and others who are (or ever were) engaged in (or actively supported in any capacity) Army aeromedical evacuation programs in war or peace. On February 17, , Robert K. Preston stole a helicopter and landed on the south lawn of the White House, allegedly as a publicity stunt to "show his skill as a pilot.". The Bell AH-1 Cobra is the world's first dedicated attack helicopter. This helicopter is widely known as the Huey Cobra. It went into production in and saw extensive service during Vietnam War.
Early production helicopters were fitted with up to four pods with 70 mm unguided rockets. These were effective against unarmored targets and light vehicles. It was flying anti-armor mission and was often used to ambush enemy columns.
The front seat also has a full set of flight controls. The cockpit is surrounded by a light armor protection. Soldiers on the ground contact the pilots via radio and coordinate the enemy positions.
So only a relatively small number of the Huey Cobras was obtained. But when the Cheyenne program was cancelled Bell started work on improved models of the Cobra. Improved models were fitted with two engines.During the reporting period of 1 January , through 31 December , the Robin Hoods of the rd Aviation Company (Aslt Hel) participated in the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th phases of Operation "Toan Thang" (Complete Victory) which encompassed the entire III Corps area of operations.

“Otto Aviation this week unveiled the Celera 500L, a six-passenger pusher-prop business aircraft powered by a single 500-hp Red A03 diesel engine. To date, the company’s full-scale prototype has completed 31 test flights. Otto said FAA certification is expected in 2023, with service entry to follow in 2025.
According to the company, the submarine-shaped aircraft will have a maximum cruise speed of 391 knots and a range exceeding 3,900 nm, while offering a stand-up cabin and fuel economy of 16 to 22 nm per gallon. To achieve this efficiency, Otto said the Celera 500L employs “extensive” laminar flow over the fuselage, wings, and tail surfaces.
The company also claims that the airplane’s carbon emissions will be about 80 percent lower than comparable business aircraft and 40 percent lower than current airline aircraft.”
“…With a range of 1,500km and a maximum speed of 275kts, HERA features “whisper-quiet’ operations, reducing noise pollution along with carbon emissions.

“Urban Aeronautics is partnering with Hatzolah Air to jointly offer an emergency medical service (EMS) version of its planned CityHawk VTOL aircraft. The company is aiming to complete certification of an initial hybrid-powered aircraft within three to five years, with a hydrogen-powered version set to enter service after 2028.
The main passenger-carrying design for the CityHawk will be adapted to accommodate a pilot, a patient plus a companion, along with two emergency medical personnel and life support equipment. The aircraft is to be powered by Urban Aeronautics’ Fancraft ducted fan technology developed for the company’s existing Cormorant unmanned aircraft, which is intended for missions such as carrying cargo. It is expected to have a range of around 125 miles, although a hybrid-powered version could extend this to 175 miles and this could be ready to fly by early 2023.”
“Autonomous flight technology pioneer Xwing says it has already made more than 70 pilotless takeoffs and landings in a converted Cessna 208B Grand Caravan. Unveiling the aircraft on Thursday at Buchanan Field Airport in California, the startup said it intends to start regional cargo operations on routes of up to 500 miles as part of its plan to prove the use case for autonomous operations.
Xwing has been developing its Autoflight System for four years. It consists of detect-and-avoid sensors to analyze airborne and ground-based hazards and navigation and control software to generate optimal flight paths, interface with ATC, monitor the health of aircraft systems, and deal with operational contingencies.”

Zaniness and innovation are close cousins, here’s an example of how aviators have brought creative thought to solve an urgent operational issue:
“As a creative response and a literal ‘light bulb moment,’ locals jumped into action, bringing their vehicles to the sides of the runway to light the path. Villagers of the close-knit tribal community of just 70 residents sprang into action. Some drove their sport utility vehicles (SUVs), all-terrain vehicles (ATVs), and cars to the rural airport, where they pointed their headlights at the runway. This allowed the pilot of the LifeMed Alaska Beechcraft King Air to land.

Space junk is this year's hot topic; around 170 million pieces of man-made space debris ranging from the size of a bus to small flakes of paint are clogging up space around the Earth. Travelling at high speed, this debris endangers space services every day, threatening GPS, communication systems and atmospheric monitoring, not to mention astronauts and spacecraft. The Space Environment Research Centre (SERC) will host two international forums on these topics in Canberra during the week of 05 November 2018. These forums, the International Workshop on Laser Ranging 2018 (IWLR 2018) and the International Workshop on Space Debris Management and Mitigation, will feature experts from all over the world discussing these issues. IWRL2018 is being conducted in conjunction with the International Laser Ranging Service (ILRS). International Keynote speakers at the forums include:
Dr Ben Greene is Group CEO of Electro Optic Systems, Director of the Space Environment Research Centre (SERC) and Chair of the SERC Research Management Committee
Professor Thomas Herring is a Professor of Geophysics in the Department of Earth Atmospheric and Planetary Sciences, Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), Cambridge.
Associate Professor Moriba Jah is from the University of Texas at Austin and an independent member of the SERC Research Management Committee.
The ILRS is an international network of optical observatories (telescopes) which use ground based lasers to accurately measure the distance between the earth and satellites and the distance between the earth and the moon. Data collected by the ILRS is used to support activities such as measuring sea level rising, movements in tectonic plates (changes in the shape of the earth), accurate global positioning (GPS) and scientific research.
Australia’s satellite laser ranging facilities are located in Yarragadee, Western Australia (operated by Geoscience Australia) and Mount Stromlo, ACT. The Mount Stromlo facility is operated by EOS Space Systems (EOSSS) on behalf of Geoscience Australia.
IWLR 2018 is a major draw card for space professionals from around the globe. In attendance at the 21st meeting of this illustrious group will be representatives from international space agencies, optical observatories and space industry professionals will attend IWLR 2018 and the International Workshop on Space Debris Management and Mitigation. A snapshot of registered delegates includes: NASA (Goddard and JPL), the Japanese Space Agency (JAXA), the German Space Agency (DLR), the European Space Agency (ESA), the Korean Space Agency (KASI), National Information Communication Technology Japan (NICT), the Chinese and Austrian Academy of Sciences, Indian Space Research Organisation and the Russian Scientific Research Institute for Physical Engineering and Radiotechnical Metrology.
The International Workshop on Space Debris Management and Mitigation brings together researchers and space professions from around the world to collaborate on the space debris issue. Delegates will share research and discuss new technologies that have been developed to track and manage the millions of pieces of man-made space debris endangering access to space and space-based services.
Around USD$700 billion worth of global space infrastructure is currently at risk from collisions with an ever increasing amount of space debris. Globally, space infrastructure delivers essential and highly efficient services including communications, navigation, resource management and climate change monitoring. This infrastructure is at risk from space debris ranging in size from spent rocket stages as large as buses, to flakes of paint measuring only 5mm. This debris travels at speeds in excess of 8 km per second, so even very small objects can badly damage or destroy satellites.
SERC Chief Executive Officer, David Ball believes international collaboration is essential for a global problem like space debris. The space industry is rapidly changing with many more launches scheduled or taking place. These launches range in scope from dozens of small CubeSats launched from the International Space Station through to mega-constellations of low earth orbit. The mega-constellations alone could see more than 18,000 new satellites launched in the coming years; ten times more satellites than currently in operation. This significant increase in the population of operational satellites necessitates urgent action by industry to improve space situational awareness (SSA) and establish an international space traffic management (STM) system.
The scientific advances made by SERC contribute significantly to SSA and STM by improving the accuracy of tracking objects in space, predicting their orbits and improving space object management capabilities.
“SERC’s research is advancing the scientific understanding of the behaviour of objects in space so that the forecasting of orbit changes over time can be done with greater accuracy. This will in turn result in improved SSA for satellite operators and provide warnings of potential collisions between operational satellites or between operational satellites and space debris.” Mr Ball said.
Working at SERC’s $20 million research facility, SERC researchers are tackling the problem by enhancing capability in tracking, characterising and identifying objects in orbit, orbit determination and predicting behaviours of space objects. Photon pressure from lasers can be used to move debris objects in space. SERC’s aim is to reduce the rate of debris proliferation caused by new collisions, and to subsequently demonstrate the potential of ground-based lasers to be used for the cost effective manoeuvre of space debris objects so that collisions can be prevented. | aerospace |

However, no single satellite can produce images with both high spatial and temporal resolutions. To address this issue, spatio-temporal fusion algorithms, such as the Spatial and Temporal Adaptive Reflectance Fusion Model (STARFM) was proposed to synthesize high spatial and temporal resolution images. On the other hand, water level monitoring is important to support natural hazard management, such as floods and tsunamis. However, continuously monitoring these hazards are challenging for a remote sensing satellite due to either its low spatial resolution or low temporal resolution. For example, Operational Land Imager (OLI) onboard Landsat 8 with a spatial resolution of 30 m has been applied on water level detection, but it cannot capture dynamic events due to its low temporal resolution. On the other hand, The Advanced Himawari Imager (AHI) 8 only needs 10 minutes to watch the hemisphere once, but its coarse resolution hampers the accurate mapping of sea level change. This study, therefore, aims to blend Landsat OLI imagery with Himawari-8 imagery to monitor the dynamic and local behavior of sea level changes. To be specific, we first calculate the modified Normalized Difference Water Index (mNDWI) using Landsat and Himawari-8 images and then fuse the index images using the STARFM algorithm. Finally, the water coverage is delineated by setting a threshold on the mNDWI index. By comparing the retrieved water coverage percentage with in-situ water level observations, we have seen a promising result.

DuraPlanes may never win "pretty plane" awards, but these low-cost, super-rugged aircraft rank #1 with their owners.
DuraPlane durability is the stuff of legends--and when you know what goes into them, you'll understand why. There's lightweight, resilient, injection-molded foam...reinforcing aluminum U-channels...unbreakable PVC "pipe"...and balsa tail feathers that come precut for quick assembly.
In fact, DuraPlanes' short box-to-air times are almost as appealing as their indestructibility. Improved manuals have reduced assembly time to as little as 12 hours, without requiring specialized tools--and without compromising durability.
In addition to durability and assembly ease, there is always value in a DuraPlane. Whether you're a first-time flier who's afraid of crashing, or an old pro who wants a practice plane, DuraPlane has a plane for you, at a price you can afford.
- Easy, basic assembly requires no special tools and quickly produces a super tough airplane that beginners won't be afraid to fly
- Flat bottom airfoil, highwing design and built in dihedral keep lift and stability high, even at the slow speeds first time pilots prefer
- Finishing requires only one roll of EconoKoteŽ covering. Keeps time and cost investment to a minimum
- Flies with a low cost .40 engine, allowing pilots to reuse the engine in future mid size planes

United Airlines and Alaska Airlines have discovered loose parts on Boeing 737 MAX 9 jets that they have inspected after a near-catastrophe on a flight Friday, signaling Boeing’s issues go beyond the aircraft that made an emergency landing.
The disclosures came shortly before investigators at the National Transportation Safety Board said that dangerous episode on an Alaska Airlines jet occurred because an emergency exit-sized door plug blew out at around 16,000 feet after somehow moving off a set of stops that are designed to keep it attached to the plane.

by Dev Sheth | published Dec. 26th, 2014
November 2014 saw its fair share of breaking-news events—from Interstellar finally hitting theaters to the lake effect blessing Buffalo, NY with a storm to remember; from artificial intelligence supposedly emerging as the latest threat to humanity to Kim Kardashian’s buttocks, November has seen it all.
Science has had its say in the form of an achievement that pushes us forward on the road to space colonization: the landing of the Philae probe on 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko. 67P, named after its discoverers Klim Ivanovych Churyumov and Svetlana Ivanova Gerasimenko, entered record books as the site of the first ever landing of a spacecraft on a comet nucleus.
The Rosetta mission carrying the probe took off from Earth on March 2, 2004 aboard the Ariane 5G+ rocket. The European Space Agency (ESA) tracks and operates the lander from its observation center in Darmstadt, Germany. The mission of the lander was to successfully land on the surface of the comet, attach itself and transmit data about the comet’s composition.
Unfortunately, that has not gone entirely to plan. The probe’s harpoon system failed to fire upon impact, resulting in the probe bouncing twice before landing. Consequently, the probe has landed in a dark spot, which is not ideal for its batteries. It fell silent on Nov. 14, 2014, around two days after landing. The spacecraft that carried the probe to the comet, codenamed Rosetta, continues to attempt to establish contact under supervision by the ESA, or at the very least locate it.
Nevertheless, the data collected by the probe during the time it was operational has since been relayed to mission control via the orbiter and is being analyzed by the ESA. The instruments onboard the probe include a drill that allows it to take samples of subsurface material along with spectrometers and magnetic field detectors, among others.
The current hibernation of the probe is mainly due to the lack of enough sunlight available in its current location to power its solar power systems. That could change as the comet moves through space. The ESA remains optimistic of being able to re-establish contact with the probe through the Rosetta orbiter in the future. | aerospace |

Take a FAA Aeronautical Knowledge Test
First and foremost, if you intend to use your drone for recreational or hobby activities, you do not need to obtain a FAA license. However, if you intend on flying a drone commercially or getting paid for services rendered with the drone, then the first thing that you need to do is take the FAA Part 107A Aeronautical Knowledge Test at an approved testing center. Drone license Florida test can either be taken in an in-person setting or through Remote Pilot Airman Certification (RPAC).
Know Your FAA Part 107 Requirements
Before applying for a drone license Florida, you must familiarize yourself with the FAA Part 107 requirements. All non-hobbyist drone operations must follow the rules of the Small UAS Rule (Part 107). This includes registering your drone with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), adhering to all airspace restrictions, keeping a valid flying certificate, and other requirements.
Learn More About Drone Regulations in Florida
It is important to understand all of the laws and regulations that govern flying drones within the state of Florida. The Academy of Model Aeronautics (AMA) has comprehensive guidelines available on their website detailing which activities are covered under Part 107 and those that require additional authorization or approval from the agency itself. Additionally, various government agencies have their own set of regulations that may be applicable depending on where you fly and what type of aircraft you use.
Complete an Aircraft Certification Course
You must complete an aircraft certification course approved by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) before you can apply for a license in Florida. Among other things, these courses cover topics such as flight safety, navigational technique, emergency procedures, aircraft identification and more. Once completed, these courses demonstrate your knowledge and proficiency when it comes to operating an Unmanned Aircraft System safely in medium-size airspace throughout parts of Florida.
Apply for Your License Through the State Office
To apply for your florida drone license you will need to fill out an application at florida drone registration. To complete this application you must include evidence that you have completed your certified aircraft certification course as well as any necessary background checks and/or paperwork required by law enforcement agencies or organizations within the area being flown over. Additionally, applicants may need to present proof of insurance coverage before they are issued their permits or licenses.
Understand Drone Laws
Before applying for an FAA drone license, it’s essential to make sure that you are aware of all applicable laws, particularly if operating the drone near airports or other populated areas. The rules may vary from state to state and it is important to be aware of local laws prior to flying a drone anywhere. The most recent guidelines can be found at the Federal Aviation Administration’s website regarding unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) or drones as they are also known.
Enroll in a Training Course
Once you have familiarized yourself with the applicable laws, enrolling in an approved training course is highly recommended for safety reasons. Many courses provide an overview of the necessary Flight Restrictions for Unmanned Aircraft Systems (FAR), as well as hands-on training with flight maneuvers designed specifically for the type of drone being used. Keep in mind that some states may require additional testing; however, this can typically be completed online through an authorized instructor or learning institution.
Pass Knowledge Tests
Once your training course has been completed, applying for an FAA Part 107 Certificate requires passing knowledge tests related to airspace restrictions, maintenance requirements, and pilot operations related issues for unmanned aircraft systems. This test also covers weather conditions impacts on unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) which must be understood before taking off safely and successfully with any type of UAS platform.

Surf the Web, do e-mail, instant messaging and even VPN in the air on flights headed for the Virgin Islands from Philadelphia, Charlotte, Boston and other airports on that airplane type.
One caveat though … US Air says the service kind of dies when you're 100 miles away from the mainland.
It is provided by Gogo Inflight Internet. Read about them here.
US Air says it will charge $4.95 for up to 90 minutes of laptop and mobile device service, $9.95 for three hours on a laptop and $12.95 for use over three hours. Mobile device access will cost $7.95 for more than 90 minutes of access.
Bummer that off the coast the signal dies, but continental coverage up to 100 miles is better than nothing.
2 thoughts on “WiFi comes to flights to the islands”
Unfortunately, USAirways doesn’t fly the A321 to St Thomas. Only 757, 767, and occasionally a A319.
I was afraid of that. But maybe the initial connecting flights, BOS to CLT or DCA to CLT/MIA etc. In any case, we don’t have wifi to the islands – yet(????!!!) | aerospace |
