The preliminary report makes no conclusion on the cause of the accident which remains under investigation.
The Cessna 182 crashed in a rugged remote area on Round Top Mountain about 3.5 miles northeast of Hope, Idaho. Sandpoint, Idaho resident Dr. Pamela Bird, 58, was piloting the plane that took off from Bird Field at 8:16 a.m., enroute to Minot, North Dakota.
The passengers killed in the crash were Don Hensley, 84, and his wife Tookie, 80.
The planes Emergency Locator Transmitter beacon activated ten minutes after takeoff. The NTSB report indicated the plane clipped large pine trees before crashing into the mountain at an elevation of 5,226 feet above sea level.
“There was a post crash fire that destroyed the airplane cabin,” the report said. “All occupants were located within the wreckage.” | aerospace |

In a letter obtained by CBC News, Transport Canada said it informed its U.S. counterpart on Wednesday that it has validated a number of changes to the aircraft with “some unique Canadian differences.”
Transport Canada confirmed this morning that the now validated changes include additional training that gives pilots the option to disable a “stick shaker” — which is “a loud and intrusive warning system when the system has been erroneously activated by a failure in the angle of attack sensor system,” according to a press release.
“This feature will help to reduce pilot workload given what has been learned from the two tragic accidents, and has been fully evaluated by Transport Canada’s flight test pilots,” wrote Transport Canada. “There will also be differences in training, including training on the enhanced flight deck procedure.”
Transport Minister Marc Garneau said today the plane has been “looked at very carefully because we want to make sure that we absolutely fix it.”
“We feel very confident because safety is critical for passengers, for the government of Canada, and we feel very confident that we have done our homework properly,” he said.
In October 2018, a 737 Max owned by Lion Air plunged into the Java Sea shortly after takeoff, killing all 189 passengers. In March 2019, an Ethiopian Airlines flight plunged from the air southeast of the capital, Addis Ababa, minutes after takeoff, killing everyone onboard — including 18 Canadians and a family of permanent residents to Canada. Countries around the world grounded the aircraft after the second crash. Canada was criticized for being one of the last countries to do so.
Ethiopia’s investigation report pointed the finger at Boeing, saying flaws in the aircraft’s design caused the crash. Inaccurate sensor readings activated the MCAS anti-stall system, which pointed the plane’s nose down as pilots struggled to right it, the report said.
There are a number of steps that still need to be taken before Transport Canada allows Canada’s 737 Max fleet to carry passengers again, including issuing a directive that outlines the design changes and mandating additional training in a simulator for air crews. These steps and others are expected to happen in January 2021, the department wrote. | aerospace |

(CNN) -- A Russian fighter aircraft approached a US Navy aircraft over the Mediterranean Sea Sunday, both governments confirmed while offering different accounts of the incident.
US Naval Forces Europe-Africa/US 6th Fleet said in a statement Sunday the Russian aircraft, a SU-35 jet, "flew in an unsafe and unprofessional manner" while intercepting the US Navy P-8A Maritime Patrol and Reconnaissance Aircraft. The US Navy it said was the second time in four days that Russian pilots made unsafe maneuvers while intercepting US aircraft.
"The unnecessary actions of the Russian SU-35 pilot were inconsistent with good airmanship and international flight rules, seriously jeopardizing the safety of flight of both aircraft," the US Navy said. "While the Russian aircraft was operating in international airspace, this interaction was irresponsible. We expect them to behave within international standards set to ensure safety and to prevent incidents.."
The Russian military said on Monday their aircraft took off from Syria's Hmeimim airbase to identify a target approaching Russian military facilities in Syria.
"The pilot of the Russian fighter after approach identified the tail number of the aircraft belonging to the US Navy, and took it for escort," a statement said, adding that the American reconnaissance aircraft then changed its flight course away from a Russian military facility.
The US has in the past accused Russia of similar such unsafe intercepts of US surveillance aircraft, including over the Mediterranean Sea, but there has been a relative decline in recent years.
On Wednesday, the US Navy said a Russian jet performed a high-speed inverted maneuver in front of a US aircraft during an "unsafe" intercept also over the Mediterranean.
The top US general in Europe said Thursday that the US has "initiated a conversation with the powers to be in Moscow" over the incident.
Gen. Tod Wolters, Commander of US European Command and NATO's Supreme Allied Commander, said he believed that the Russian Su-35 jet's moves were "more along the lines of unprofessional as opposed to deliberate."
A similar incident occurred in June when a Russian fighter jet intercepted an American P-8 multiple times.
Also on Wednesday, the US military's Space Command said that Moscow conducted a test of an anti-satellite missile. Gen. John W. "Jay" Raymond, the commander of Space Command and the US Space Force's chief of space operations, said the Russian test "provides yet another example that the threats to US and allied space systems are real, serious and growing."

The Curtiss N-9 was a floatplane variant of the Curtiss JN-4 “Jenny” military trainer used during World War I by the United States Navy. As a seaplane, the N-9 was equipped with a single central pontoon mounted under the fuselage. A small float was fitted under each wingtip. With the additional weight of the pontoon, a number of structural and aerodynamic changes were required, the design of which made use of wind tunnel data developed at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, meaning the N-9 was the first American naval aircraft to incorporate wind tunnel data directly into its design. The wingspan was stretched an additional ten feet (three meters), the fuselage was lengthened, the tail surfaces were enlarged, and stabilizing fins were added on top of the upper wing. The N-9 was initially powered by a 100 hp (75 kW) Curtiss OXX-6 engine. | aerospace |

When aviation pioneers mastered the basic mechanics of flight, they turned towards making advancements that would improve the overall safety and security of an aircraft during flight. The development of many operational safety functions was done successfully with the help of established communication and navigation systems. Communication and navigation systems are significant as they support the thousands of aircraft that are constantly landing and taking off in different destinations. In modern days, technological development has continued with more advanced, lightweight communication and navigation devices fortifying the abilities of pilots. These devices also increase the situational understanding of personnel at any airbase, increasing their usefulness.
Radio communication was the first invention in electronic aviation, followed by navigational radios. Additionally, there are several electronic navigation and landing aids that one may use. Depending on one’s needs, many electronic devices also function for weather awareness, collision avoidance, auto-flight control, recording, management, public communication, and entertainment.
What Is an Aviation Communication System?
The electronic system that helps in sending messages and communicating with crew members and backend staff in an aircraft is known as an aviation communication system.’ There are two types of communication systems: data communication and voice communication, which can connect with other aircraft and ground staff.
Methods of Communication For Aircraft
There are 3 main methods of aircraft communication:
1) Radio Communication – Radio communication allow for a strong connection between pilot and controller to be established. There are two types of radio communication, those of which are HF and VHF communication.
HF – High-frequency communication systems use voice communication that can travel along-distance. The system connects with a ground station and an aircraft to establish communication. HF is not as common as satellite communication with its modern advancements. Generally, HF systems operate on an aeronautical frequency range of 2 MHz – 29.999 MHz. The components of HF communication systems include the radio control, HF trans-receiver, and HF antenna.
VHF – Very high frequency (VHF) communication is commonly used for short and medium-range distances with a tunable frequency of 118.000 MHz to 136.990 MHz. This system can help maintain communication between ground stations and aircraft over line-of-sight distances The components of the VHF communication system include the radio control, VHF antenna, and VHF trans-receiver.
2) Satellite Communication – Satellite communication systems use GPS technology for the transmission and receiving of data and verbal communication. This system has a network between a ground earth station and an aircraft earth station that uses a satellite as a relay to send reports over long distances. The aircraft earth station is the satellite communication system on an aircraft that communicates with the ground station and other aircraft through satellite signals. Each ground earth station is a radio station that communicates through ground links. Satellite communication is the most reliable method as compared to other types, and while initially used for maritime applications, the system became a significant component of the aerospace communication system as the technology developed. Satellite communication cannot get affected by atmospheric disturbance, ensuring that it is a very fail-safe technology.
3) Aircraft Communication Addressing and Reporting System (ACARS) – The ACARS is a data link system that allows a pilot to convey messages and report to a ground station. It is an auto-systemic technology that can send messages at a scheduled time or send a necessary message to minimize the staff’s workload. The message sent to the ground station is known as a ‘downlink,’ and a message coming from the ground station is known as an ‘uplink’.
What Is an Aviation Navigation System?
Technology has radically changed the navigation system of aircraft, shifting them from typical geometry instruments and calculations made by a specialized person to aerial navigation provided by advanced systems. Aerial navigation is achieved through an external and onboard navigation system that helps pilots determine accurate locations over distances of a thousand kilometers.
Methods of Navigation for Aircraft
The primary methods of navigation are:
Pilotage – The earliest type of navigation is when the pilot keeps track of landmarks on the ground. With this method, the pilot makes a plan and draws the airpath on a map to indicate landmarks like rivers, bridges, buildings, etc.
Global Position System – Global positioning system (GPS) is a space satellite that can identify the location and time in all climatic situations. It can detect a location anywhere on earth using four or more GPS satellites.
Long Range Navigation – Long-range navigation helps an aircraft discover its location and speed at the lowest frequency. It works with a terrestrial radio navigation system in the 90-110KHz frequency range which is transmitted by a fixed radio tower
Inertial Navigation – This navigation system includes motion sensors, like accelerometers and rotation sensors, to constantly check flight parameters. The location, position, velocity, and orientation of an aircraft can be determined with a reference at the starting point without using any other consideration.
Aviation Maintenance for Avionics
Every aircraft demands high maintenance, especially for the airframe and engine. The aviation industry has been using avionics for 50 years, and their use is increasing every day. Due to the usefulness of avionics, avionic maintenance has become much more popular in the industry. In modern times, robust, digitally equipped avionics systems are reliable, though do not reach the levels of mechanical systems. With the capabilities of avionics, some complex types may account for a majority of the total aircraft cost. In military aviation, the estimated cost of navigation, weapons targeting, and monitor systems account for approximately 80 percent of the aircraft’s cost. Additionally, the cost ratio is decreasing as many manufacturers provide highly sophisticated instruments, communication systems, and navigation systems with advanced electronics for every aircraft. Almost all aircraft sizes feature a digital glass cockpit, and the owners of old ones have replaced the navigation equipment and instruments by fitting digital avionics in their aircraft.

In short, the goal is to fly a human-powered helicopter for 60 seconds, topping 3 meters in elevation, and keeping the helicopter within a 10 square meter box. For about an hour I watched them do a series of short test flights, trying to get the helicopter calibrated to not drift out of the 10 meter box.During a longer break they were kind enough to let the (supervised) public walk within the contraption. It is remarkable up close – super fine and lanky carbon fiber triangular trusses and more styrofoam than you’d expect. It reminded me a bit of a giant K’Nex system. | aerospace |

Vistara to operate special flights from Delhi; check details
Vistara on Tuesday said it will operate special flights on Delhi-London route from August 28 to September 30 as part of the bilateral air bubble arrangement signed between India and the UK.
Moreover, the full-service carrier is seeking necessary regulatory approvals to soon operate similar special flights to Paris in France and Frankfurt in Germany, it said in a press release.
Under a bilateral air bubble pact, airlines of both the countries can operate international flights with certain restrictions.
Since July, India has established such bubbles with the following countries – the US, the UK, France, Germany, the UAE, Qatar and the Maldives. India is negotiating with 13 other countries to establish similar bubbles.
Between August 28 and September 30, Vistara said it will fly thrice a week on Delhi-London route – on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays.
The Delhi-London flights would be operated on its newly-inducted B787-9 aircraft, it noted.
The airline has a fleet of 43 aircraft, including 34 Airbus A320, one Airbus A321neo, six Boeing 737-800NG, and two Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner aircraft.
Scheduled international passenger flights continue to remain suspended in India since March 23 due to the coronavirus pandemic.
However, special international flights have been operating with the approval of aviation regulator Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA).
After a gap of two months due to the coronavirus-triggered lockdown, India resumed domestic passenger flights on May 25. However, the average occupancy rate in Indian domestic flights has been around just 50-60 per cent since May 25.
The aviation sector has been significantly impacted due to the travel restrictions imposed in India and other countries in view of the coronavirus pandemic.
All airlines in India have taken cost-cutting measures such as pay cuts, leave-without-pay and firings of employees in order to conserve cash. | aerospace |

Sky Twister is a great model rocket kit that returns to earth with a parachute AND a helicopter nose cone
The Sky Twister has a brilliant colour scheme that is hard to lose in the weeds. Launch it over 650 feet and watch the helicopter nose cone spin its way to the ground as the body tube floats gracefully down with a 12 inch parachute.
The helicopter nose cone along with the vibrant design make this one heck of a rocket. Easy to fly no matter what your experience level! Have this rocket on the launch pad in just minutes and enjoy countless launches. This rocket is ALMOST ready to fly but a couple of dabs of glue are required before you head out to the field.
CHECK OUT THE INSTRUCTIONS FOR BUILDING THIS MODEL ROCKET KIT HERE
The Sky Twister out-performs its big cousin the HeliCat. It's lighter and has less frontal area and that equals more zoom!
Unless otherwise specified, all models require assembly. Tools, construction and finishing supplies sold separately. In order to launch, a launch system, model rocket engines, igniters and recovery wadding are required - sold separately-unless otherwise specified.

“Our telescopes and the #Oscars trophies are both plated with the same gold!” NASA said in a tweet.
Brooklyn-based Epner Technology has been using the improved technique for its varied commercial clients, NASA said in a statement released over the weekend.
In 2016, Epner’s reputation for durable and brilliant gold coatings, built in part through its many years working for NASA, brought a new client — the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.
The Academy was awestruck that Epner Technology was giving them a plating technique that had been used for gold in space for 30, 35 years, company president David Epner said.
For more than three decades, a trophy manufacturer had been casting the Oscars in a tin alloy and then plated them with gold. They shone — but the coating wore off | aerospace |

Born April 16, 1867 in Indiana
Died May 30, 1912
Born August 19, 1871 in Ohio
Died January 30,1948
Orville and Wilbur Wright operated a bicycle shop in Dayton, Ohio. After reading about German experiments with gliders, they built their own glider in 1900. In 1901, Orville Wright designed a wind tunnel which the brothers used to test wing shapes for flight. By 1902 they had built a two winged glider.
They also began experimenting with motors and propellers. The Wrights needed a lightweight engine and strong propeller to build an airplane. In 1903 the brothers had added a 12-horsepower engine and two propellers, but it wasnít until December 17, 1903, at Kitty Hawk, North Carolina that they really took to the air.
This invention the Wrights called, Flyer I, was really a motorized glider (it had no steering apparatus). However, it was the first ever sustained flight. It stayed aloft for 12 seconds and traveled 120 feet. Since both brothers would have liked to be the first person in flight, they flipped a coin to see who would make the first attempt. The flip gave Orville the first 12 second flight. However, the last and longest flight that day was piloted by Wilbur Wright. The Flyer I stayed aloft for 59 seconds traveling 852 feet before it crashed on a beach, crushing the rudders.
By the year 1905, Orville and Wilburís third Flyer could fly for half an hour and perform controlled turns and circles. On July 20, 1909 the Wrights set a new duration record for flight, staying aloft for 1 hour and 20 minutes. By October 26, 1909 the two brothers had trained Lieutenant Frank Humphreys to fly their machine, making him the armyís first solo pilot. Later in 1909 the Wrights announced the founding of their company, the Wright Company, which would sell airplanes to the public and the government.

It was the largest commercial drone to win approval from the Federation Aviation Administration, with a body that is 2.7 metres long, 1.1 metres tall, and weighs 64kgs.
Currently, unmanned aerial vehicles used for commercial purposes are banned in the US unless a special exemption is obtained from the FAA. Yahama, which already sells agricultural drones in Japan, South Korea and Australia, hopes the FAA exemption for the RMax in the US will not only unlock this market but also those in European countries.
“Our drones work well in spraying pesticides and fertilisers on slopes so we’re aiming for vineyards at Napa Valley in the US and Champagne in France,” says Osamu Ishioka, Yamaha’s senior general manager.
Yamaha, the world’s second largest motorcycle maker, has been developing drones for about three decades, prompted by a request from the Japanese government. | aerospace |

A careful reading of the press release makes it apparent that actual continuous airborne flight testing is not yet ready to resume. This is a one-off flight test.
Here is the press release:
US Sen. Carl Levin announced yesterday that he will hold a hearing by Feb. 1 into the snafu by the USAF over sending Boeing and EADS information about each other’s KC-X tanker submission.
We think this is appropriate, as we have written before. The Air Force and EADS must come forward with a detailed timeline and information about the what-when-where-why about this. So that there is a full airing, so does Boeing, though let’s be clear: the burden here appears to be on the USAF and EADS.
With Christmas around the corner, here are some year-end thoughts, absent any breaking news of some kind in the week ahead:
737 upgrade: Southwest Airlines continues to pressure Boeing to do something about a more fuel efficient airplane, and there has been some recent buzz when Flightblogger published a picture of a 737 re-engine concept, but we believe the re-engine has been shelved for now–more likely in favor of the 737NG+. Work continues on the Boeing NLT (New Light Twin.)
787 flight tests: It’s been widely suggested by observers and analysts flight tests will resume in January; we understand Boeing is working toward resuming them after Christmas (to clarify for the cynics and comics, this means Christmas 2010 and before New Year’s 2011). P100 panel, software fixes proceeding faster than expected–but will FAA sign off when Boeing desires? An announcement is expected, in Boeing tradition, on the eve of a holiday.
Boeing’s announcement today that it will boost production of the 777 from the previously announced 7/mo to 8.3/mo (100 a year) is good news for Boeing, its customers, the supply chain and (to be parochial about it) Washington State, where the airplanes are made.
But this isn’t all.
As we have previously written, Boeing is already thinking of boosting 737 production beyond the 38/mo previously announced, to as much as 42: 41 commercial 737s and one 737-based P-8A Poseidon, all assembled in Renton (WA). (The fuselage is built by Spirit Aerosystems in Wichita (KS), which at one time was Boeing’s facility.)
We learned that even 42/mo may not be the end of it. Boeing foresees the 737 production rate to as many as 50/mo.
Update, December 21: Flightblogger’s piece (referred to in the Dec. 19 update below) is now up: The price of the 787 sales success.
Dominic Gates published this story for the Sunday Seattle Times; it’s not good news for the 787.
Update, Dec. 19: There is more to come, this time from Flightblogger in the next day or two. | aerospace |

OneJet is a defunct virtual airline that specialized in scheduled point-to-point flights operated by small business jets and regional aircraft. Flights were operated utilizing a public charter arrangement.
Unlike some other airlines operating small aircraft under a public charter arrangement, that operate from a private terminal or fixed-base operator facility, OneJet used the normal passenger terminals and gates of the airports to which it flew.
The airline was established in 2009 as PrimAir and rebranded OneJet in 2014. Its first route, weekday roundtrip flights from Indianapolis International Airport to General Mitchell International Airport in Milwaukee was announced on March 15, 2015 to begin April 6, 2015. Flights were operated by Pentastar Aviation using Hawker Beechjet 400A business jets fitted with seven passenger seats. The airline stated that additional destinations from Indianapolis would be announced in April 2015. On April 24, 2015 the airline announced service from Indianapolis to Pittsburgh International Airport to begin May 11. Service between Milwaukee and Pittsburgh was also announced that same date, due to start May 4.
On April 6, 2016 OneJet announced that it would move its base of operations from Indianapolis to Pittsburgh and that Corporate Flight Management (CFM) would take over flight operations from Pentastar. In preparation for the move, all flights from Indianapolis to Milwaukee, Memphis, and Nashville were curtailed with only the flights from Pittsburgh running. The airline indicated that it would increase the frequency of its flights from Pittsburgh; and add destinations from the Pittsburgh focus city. After a short hiatus, CFM began OneJet operations on June 8, 2016 between Pittsburgh and Hartford, with flights to Indianapolis and Milwaukee commencing six days later. Since the transition to CFM as the operating carrier, flights between Pittsburgh and Indianapolis were briefly operated by IAI Westwind and Learjet 35 aircraft rather than the Beechjet 400A.
Milwaukee was announced as a second base of operations on October 3, 2017 with flights to Columbus and Omaha starting on November 1. Later that month, OneJet signed a deal with Textron Aviation for two eight-seat Cessna Citation CJ4 aircraft to be delivered in Q1 2018, with further deliveries planned. OneJet also had plans to use a larger 30-seat Embraer ERJ135 aircraft for their future Albany-Buffalo route. On May 1, 2018, OneJet announced it was acquiring Ultimate Jetcharters and Ultimate Air Shuttle which focus on semiprivate scheduled flights and corporate shuttles. However, on August 21, it was reported that the purchase of Ultimate had fallen through.
On August 29, 2018, OneJet suspended all service, reportedly temporarily. Ultimate Jetcharters, which was operating all OneJet flights at the time, announced that it was terminating the flights due to the collapse of the acquisition deal; OneJet in turn announced that it was pursuing its own air operator's certificate so it could operate its own flights. OneJet claimed that it would resume booking on October 1, 2018, but as of November 30th, it had not done so; it was unknown which routes would be carried over, and whether or not any previously terminated or suspended routes will be resumed. As of September 8, 2018, OneJet has been removed from Pittsburgh International Airport's route map, implying that they will not be returning. As of August 28, 2018, the airline has also been removed from Milwaukee General Mitchell International Airport's list of airlines page. Officials from GMIA have not been informed of any schedule terminations, but confirm that no OneJet flights have been flown into or out of Milwaukee since June. All of the OneJet aircraft have either been sold or transferred to the Contour Airlines public charter services. In November 2018, airport authorities in Albany, Buffalo, and Pittsburgh filed for an involuntary Chapter 7 bankruptcy proceeding against OneJet.
OneJet did not hold its own air operator's certificate when flight operations ended in August 2018. At various times, OneJet flights were operated by the following air charter companies:
As of August 29, 2018 all OneJet routes have been suspended:
|Albany||New York||Albany International Airport||terminated|

I didn’t do the $5 walkthrough again this year, although it was definitely worth the money. I did, however, do a couple of cool things.
One of the things was to shoot some video of them firing up the engines. Because engines like this are prone to leaking certain fluids, someone stands by with a fire extinguisher and gives a thumbs-up to the pilot once each engine has safely spun up. They start with engine #3 because it’s near the battery and gets the best crank, and work their way around the aircraft from there. My little boy thought it was pretty cool.
The other cool thing was to park out on the northwest end of the runway and let the rumbling beast roar right over our heads. My little guys thought this was a really sweet deal.
Scroll down a little bit if you want to see my interior shots of this piece of military aviation history. Check out the video above if you haven’t already. If you missed this aircraft, hope it comes by again in a few more years. More information is available online by clicking here. | aerospace |

The asteroid, officially named 2012 XA133, is barreling towards us on a “close approach” trajectory. At its current speed, NASA estimates the space rock will close-in on us by the end of the month.
Asteroid XA133 was first found racing around the Sun nearly eight years ago and has since been watched by NASA’s Center for Near Earth Object (CNEOS).
Astronomers have labelled the asteroid a near-Earth object (NEO) and potentially hazardous asteroid (PHA).
However unlikely, potentially hazardous rocks could crash into the planet at a future date and are big enough to cause widespread destruction upon impact.
NASA said: “A relatively small number of near-Earth objects pass close enough to Earth and are large enough in size to warrant close observation.

“That's because the gravitational tug of the planets could, over time, cause an object's orbital path to evolve into an Earth-crossing orbit.
“This allows for the possibility of a future collision.”
NASA predicts Asteroid XA133 will make its closest approach to Earth on March 27 around 3.52am GMT (10.42pm EST).
NASA believes potentially hazardous asteroids and comets can both get “unusually close” to Earth.
The space agency said: “Potentially hazardous asteroids are about 150m – about 500ft – or larger, roughly twice as big as the Statue of Liberty is tall. | aerospace |

The aircraft are anticipated to arrive Friday in the late afternoon and conduct training operations Saturday before departing early on Sunday, October 31. All times are tentative and subject to change without notice.
Military aircraft are exempt from noise regulations. However, the military has consistently demonstrated a desire to assist LGB in being a good neighbor and will follow standard noise abatement arrival and departure procedures, including modified arrival and departure flight profiles and minimum use of afterburners.
F/A-18 aircraft are noticeably louder than other aircraft and are easily heard in neighborhoods near LGB. | aerospace |

Version 5.1 is ready!- Optimized for the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus! - Oct 6/2014
GYROSCOPE TECHNICAL NOTES:
You are probably wondering, why does the ground mode gyroscope work so smoothly and accurately, and air mode is much more difficult:
Ground mode uses what Apple calls "Sensor Fusion", which is not only the gyroscope, but also the accelerometer and other logic, it is very heavily weighted toward gravity. Of course when sitting on your couch at home, Gravity can be depended upon, and thus, any gyroscope drift can be easily subtracted away by using gravity as the base.
Air Mode: After extensive testing in Airplanes I quickly found that ground mode was useless in the air, it would always show wings level, of course as a pilot you know why, Gravity "seems" to be pointing to the bottom of the aircraft during turns, due to the combination of forces in an aircraft turn.
I then moved to using the "raw" gyroscope output for air mode, no choice. The issues here are many. The gyroscope chip in the iDevice has a huge amount of static drift (the drift when its sitting perfectly still). I need to not only remove this static drift, but also deal with normal gyro drift while flying. This proves difficult, partly because the built in compass (one of my base points) tends to freeze up quite often in flight. I am working actively on improving the methods of removing the drift.
Currently some pilots have seen the app show a turn and then reset to wings level (even though the aircraft is still turning). This is because my "reset" code thinks the gyro drift needs to be removed. This can be controlled with the slider bar (move it more to the right). I am also looking at ways to improve this, and get rid of the slider bar over time and have an auto correcting system.
In summary, I still have work to do, but I promise to keep updating this app until it is the best I can possibly make it.
The internal Gyro chip is sensitive to engine/prop vibration. Attempt to mount it with the least possible vibration.
iPhone Gyroscope Aircraft Attitude Indicator (a.k.a Artificial Horizon). This app uses the "real" Gyroscope built into the iPhone 4, so it is much more accurate than the older apps without Gyro access (accelerometer only).
I am an instrument rated Airplane Pilot and a Helicopter Pilot, I designed this app for a fun demonstration of how flight instruments in a real airplane work. My goal is to also have this work well in actual flight (see notes below).
Even for non Pilots its a blast! and kids will love to turn the iPhone in every direction and watch the sky and ground roll and pitch around!
Runs in landscape mode for the full size screen and motion, high resolution retina display graphics!
Also great for flight school instruction and demonstration of the iPhone gyroscope.
Note for Pilots : If you notice in flight that the app shows a turn, then goes back to wings level (while the aircraft is still turning), move the slider bar more - or all the way to the right. In order to remove the gyro drift, I use the compass changes to slowly go back to wings level, the compass tends to freeze up in the iPhone, and I am actively working on a solution for this. Currently this reset is controlled by the slider bar.
Although I am flight testing and fine tuning the air mode code each weekend (We have a Mooney M20c Aircraft for testing this app), after finding the "stock" gyroscope code did not work in aircraft (always read wings level even with gyroscope output), it must be clear this is still NOT FAA APPROVED and should not be depended upon for flight. As a fellow Pilot, I am also excited about having the iPhone 4 gyroscope work in airplanes, however, for now its experimental use only. I am improving the operation in the air at every release, and its getting better, but still needs work. I intend to keep working on it until its the best it can possibly be in the air.
For non Pilots, or Pilots using this for ground instruction, it works flawlessly with the Stock Gyroscope on the ground. And is perfect for instruction or fun. The stock iPhone Gyroscope code is smooth as silk on the ground, make sure you do not use "AIR MODE ON" for ground use/instruction. Air mode will seem erratic on the ground, it depends on the G forces and compass changes in flight to work.
What's New in Version 4.0
- Bug Fix: Fixed problem where display would reset to wings level even as aircraft was still turning, finally tracked down and fixed this one!
- Display redesign, now matches a real electronic display movement. Turn circle now is fixed with arrow and only moves right and left not up and down, which would cause it to go off the screen display at times before.
- Big improvements in gyro drift control in flight mode, much faster response back to wings level after an aircraft bank.
Click HERE for the latest flight test video in our airplane. As you can see, the app is getting better. The vibration effect is low since I am hand holding it. I found a great Ram Mount made just for the iPhone 4 with a strong suction cup mount, however, it is more affected by the aircraft engine vibration. | aerospace |

Mercy One currently operates an air medical critical care configured Bell 429 and will add a second helicopter, equipped with United Rotorcraft emergency medical services (EMS) interior.
“Based on our experience with the 429, there is no other aircraft I would consider using in our air medical missions. Given the features and performance of the aircraft, it was an easy decision to go back to the Bell 429,” said Dan Keough, director of Emergency Transport Services at Mercy Medical Center.
Since its inception in 1986, Mercy One has established itself as one of the premier air ambulance services in Iowa with two helicopters in service – a Bell 429 in Des Moines and a Bell 407 in Knoxville. Mercy One acquired its first Bell 429 in March 2010, which has since logged 1,287 flight hours and performed approximately 1,100 rescue missions.
“We have a long and rich history with Mercy One and we are honored they continue to place their trust in Bell helicopters to perform their life saving missions,” commented Danny Maldonado, Bell Helicopter’s executive vice president of Sales and Marketing.
Mercy One’s newest Bell 429 includes United Rotorcraft EMS interior, which features advanced life support for up to two patients. Engineered with air medical operations in mind, the Bell 429 has the largest cabin in the light twin class offering unobstructed full body access to the patient, uniquely designed large sliding doors for side loading, and rear clamshell doors for no-lift patient loading.
“The Bell 429 has far exceeded our every expectation. It has done everything we wanted, regardless of mission style or time of year. We have been extremely happy and consider ourselves very fortunate,” commented Keough.
The 429 was certified in mid-2009 as a single-pilot instrument flight rules (SPIFR), Category A helicopter under the latest requirements of Part 27 airworthiness rules by Canadian, U.S. and European authorities. It is designed and built to more stringent airworthiness standards than any other light, twin-engine helicopter. | aerospace |

With this, he will be able to develop a reentry capsule to bring goods from space to Earth.
America’s company called ‘Inversion Space’ has claimed that it has made this special space capsule.
The biggest change can be seen soon in the supply chain of goods around the world. There has been news of a special space capsule capable of delivering goods from space to anywhere in the world. America’s company called ‘Inversion Space’ has claimed that it has made this special space capsule. Also, she can deliver goods from space anywhere in the world through her new space capsule. This Los Angeles-based startup company said that it will soon work to deliver goods from outer space to every corner of the world.
Inversion Space has informed that it has raised 10 million dollars for this project in the year 2021. With this, he will be able to develop a reentry capsule to bring goods from space to Earth. The company says that it wants to make this return vehicle from space for commercial and defense industries. With its help, it can help with global supply distribution as well as supply and return to and from the space station. This reusable capsule will be capable of coming from space many times and will also be able to deliver goods to the International Space Station.
Demand will increase in both public and private sectors
The company has expressed hope that the demand for this special space capsule will increase in both the government and private sectors. This capsule can launch any type of commercial vehicle. Currently, the company is working on developing a four feet diameter capsule. In this, luggage that can fit in a suitcase of this size can be carried. For this capsule solar energy will be used. The company has recently conducted a parachute test of ‘Ray’, in which a saucer-like object was dropped through an airplane from a height of 30 thousand feet.
Thousands of containers will be parked in space
Inversion Space will demonstrate the technology of small capsules in the year 2023. At present, the capsule (Ray) of 1.5 feet diameter is being tested. It will serve as a technical demonstrator. The company hopes that one day they too will be able to afford to maintain thousands of containers in space for five years. In a New York Times report, the company said that once it reaches its orbit, the capsule will either find its own way to the private commercial space station or remain in its own orbit.
NASA came forward in support of the idea
According to the report, NASA is also doing research to promote such efforts. Along with this, the private sector is also being promoted for this research. It believes that the reusable capsule can make a big contribution to the new space market. This special suitcase and its mechanism are expected to be developed by the year 2025. When this system is fully developed, the spacecraft will hit Earth’s outer atmosphere at 25 times the speed of sound and use a parachute for softlanding. | aerospace |

The global satellite manufacturing & launch market will register a CAGR of over 4% by 2023.
The demand for satellite networks and services for commercial applications has increased. The growing utilization of commercial satellite platforms for dual purposes, which include military and civil, is also providing growth opportunities to the market in focus.
To ensure seamless connectivity between terrestrial and satellites, satellite transport conduit is being integrated into the overall communication map. This will provide new opportunities to extend satellite services in urban and rural areas to cover existing white zones and ensure seamless connectivity plans for a variety of users, including emergency services.
Also, regulatory relaxation on the sales of high-resolution satellite images for commercial purposes is one such measure, which provides a new opportunity for growth of the market. Such developments are anticipated to drive the growth of the market during the forecast period.
Reduction in Associative Launch Cost
The associative cost of satellite systems is significant, and most of the cost accounts for launch and orbital placement. The development of all-electric satellites has eliminated the need for conventional power systems, which accounted for additional load for launch vehicles. Thus, multiple all-electric satellites can be accommodated on a single launch vehicle such as Falcon 9, and Ariane 5, which has significantly decreased the associative launch cost.
Several companies that offer launch services for satellites are investing in R&D to develop cost-effective launch systems. The highly competitive nature of the satellite industry is also a critical factor that is decreasing the cost of launching satellites. Thus, the reduction in price will increase the number of satellites launches, which will increase the revenue generated by the market during the forecast period.
Presence of Satellite Orbital Debris
Space debris comprises natural (meteoroid) and artificial (human-made) fragments. Artificial debris could be non-functional spacecraft, abandoned launch vehicles, mission-related debris, and fragmentation debris. Spacecraft explosions and collisions between satellites generate small debris, which also collects in the orbit of the Earth.
Over the years, the number of satellites that are launched has risen rapidly, which has increased the amount of orbital debris. Debris is kinetic in nature, moving at a speed of 18,000 miles per hour, which is quick enough to damage satellites or spacecraft. This poses a significant threat to space shuttles, the ISS, and the several satellites in the orbit of the Earth.
The market appears to be highly fragmented. The presence of several companies, including Airbus SE and Boeing makes the competitive environment quite intense. Factors such as the rising demand for multirole satellites and the expanding scope of space exploration will provide significant growth opportunities to the satellite manufacturing and launch manufacturers. Lockheed Martin Corp, Northrop Grumman Corp, Raytheon Co, and Thales Group are some of the major companies covered in this report. | aerospace |

Last update March 18, 2014
The space objects now orbiting Earth range from satellites weighting several tons to pieces of spent rocket bodies weighing only 10 pounds.
The Space Surveillance Network has been tracking space objects since 1957 when the Soviet Union opened the space age with the launch of Sputnik. Since then, the SSN has tracked more than 24,500 space objects orbiting Earth. (See Helping Zimbabweans to steppe in sync and South Africa attempts to pull the plug on Zimbabwean satellite decoders)
It spot-checks them rather than tracking them continually. The enormous amount of tracking data comes from SSN sites such as Maui, Hawaii, Eglin, Florida, Thule, Greenland and Diego Garcia in the Indian Ocean. The data is transmitted directly via satellite, ground wire, microwave and phone. Every available means of communications is used to ensure a backup is readily available if necessary.
NASA is currently able to track only 1% of all the asteroids in our solar system. This is why NASA asks citizen scientists to become ‘asteroid hunters.’ The Asteroid Data Hunter Challenge began in March 2014. It was launched by NASA and Planetary Resources, Inc., formerly known as Arkyd Astronautics, an asteroid mining company. Planetary Resources, Inc.’s ARKYD 100 is the first private space telescope and a stepping-stone to near-Earth asteroids, according to the comapny’s website.
The Asteroid Data Hunter Challenge will run tentatively through August 22, 2014. Teams that succeed will have a chance at USD35,000. Planetary Resources, Inc. investors include:
- Larry Page, co-founder of Google.
- Eric Schmidt, former Apple Inc.’s board member.
- James Cameron, Canadian film director, film producer, deep-sea explorer, screenwriter, and editor who has directed the two biggest box office films of all time.
- Charles Simonyi, who, as head of Microsoft’s application software group, oversaw the creation of Microsoft’s flagship Office suite of applications.
- K. Ram Shriram who served as an officer of Amazon.com working for Jeff Bezos.
Be sure to check Deep Space Industries, another asteroid exploration and exploitation company that was formally announced on January 22, 2013, nine months after the announcement of the first asteroid-mining firm, Planetary Resources.
Experts estimate that there are USD100bn worth of mineral resources in outer space.. per each inhabitant of the Earth.
Back in the 1950s, Sputnik was marked with a red flag that told America not to take its technological dominance for granted. It was orbiting the planet at 32,186.88 km per hour while emitting a constant radio signal. (See International day of human space flight in Harare)
The SSN currently tracks more than 8,000 orbiting objects. The rest have re-entered Earth’s turbulent atmosphere and disintegrated, or survived re-enty and impacted the Earth. About seven percent of the space objects are operational satellites, the rest are debris. The United States Strategic Command, STRATCOM, is primarily interested in the active satellites, but also tracks space debris. They also track space objects which are 10 centimeters in diameter (baseball size) or larger.
A pronouncing example of such small satellites is a homemade, basement-built satellite that a South Korean Song Ho-jun has been working on for nearly six years. An engineering student at university, Ho-jun built his $500 OpenSat to show people they could achieve their dreams. After working as an intern at a private satellite company, he came up with the idea for his “Open Satellite Initiative,” which in turn led him to contact space professionals from Slovenia to Paris.
The cubical OpenSat weighs 1kg and measures 10 cubic centimetres. It will transmit information about the working status of its battery, the temperature and rotation speed of the satellite’s solar panel. Radio operators will be able to communicate with the satellite. If all goes well, it will repeat a message in Morse code using its LED lights at a set time and location.
OpenSat’s components cost only 500,000 won ($440). But the cost for launching it hit 120 million won after Song signed a contract with NovaNano, a a Lyon-based aerospace company, which acted as a broker to arrange the launch, including submitting paperwork and finding a rocket.
The satellite will be launched from the Russian Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan (the world’s first and largest operational space launch facility) in December. And one hopes that OpenSat will be luckier than NigComSat-1, the first African geosynchronous communication satellite. (See Adasia: untapping media markets in Central Asia) Launched on 13 May 2007, aboard a Chinese Long March 3B carrier rocket from the Xichang Satellite Launch Centre (The Sichuan-based facility became operational in 1984 and is primarily used to launch powerful thrust rockets and geostationary communications and weather satellites), NigComSat-1 failed in orbit after running out of power in 2008 due to an anomaly in its solar array. (See From Geely in Ukraine to Chery in Zimbabwe: how many China’s global brands can you think of? and Africa-Asia prospects II: more solid research on Africa needed to inform Sino-African relations )
Historically, as space technology matured, satellites were launched for military and commercial purposes. The price of satellite launches has dropped to as low as a few million dollars for light satellites, and a few tens of millions for heavy satellites. This put satellite technology within the reach of many nations and international companies.
Down at sea, an aircraft catapult mounted on a modern aircraft carrier has enough muscle to throw a Land Rover a kilometer.
A host of commercial flight options to experience the space conditions is emerging. Zero Gravity Corporation (also known as ZERO-G), an Arlington, Virginia-based company, operates weightless flights from United States airports. Peter H. Diamandis, the former CEO and co-founder of ZERO-G, is also the co-founder of Planetary Resources.
Unlike NASA, ZERO-G is governed under Part 121 of FAA regulations (as are all US commercial passenger and cargo airlines) enabling the company to cater to both tourists and researchers alike. The company Sea Launch — a consortium of four companies from the United States, Russia, Ukraine and Norway — has launched a few satellites into orbit from international waters every year.
Satellites have an operating lifespan between five and 20 years. As of 2008, the former Soviet Union and Russia had nearly 1,400 satellites in orbit, the USA about 1,000, Japan more than 100, China about 80, France over 40, India more than 30, Germany almost 30, the UK and Canada 25, and at least ten each from Italy, Australia, Indonesia, Brazil, Sweden, Luxembourg, Argentina, Saudi Arabia, and South Korea. (See I want my TV in Afghanistan and Turkey’s soap power)
Some satellites, called microsats, nanosats, or picosats, can be as small as 10 cm (3.937 inches) in diameter and 0.1 kg (0.22 pounds) in mass. The largest man-made satellite currently in orbit around the Earth is the International Space Station.

Perhaps the pilots of larger aircraft, like the Gulfstream G650, with its 99-foot-7-inch wingspan, or the Boeing 737 variants, whose wings span from 93 to 117 feet 5 inches (with winglets), were the first to notice—and appreciate—the added width.
Removing the sign was another example of the small, dynamic details that are part of airport operations. In airport parlance it is an Object Free Area (OFA). FAA Advisory Circular 150/5300-12, Airport Design, defines it as “an area on the ground centered on a runway, taxiway, or taxilane centerline provided to enhance the safety of aircraft operations by having the area free of objects, except for objects that need to be located in the OFA for air navigation or aircraft ground maneuvering purposes.”
The aircraft using the pavement determine how much horizontal and vertical area must be object free. Aircraft are sorted into six Airplane Design Groups by their wingspan and total height, measured in feet. Group I starts the scale with wingspan less than 49 feet and total height of less than 20 feet. Membership in Group VI calls for a wingspan of 214 to less than 262 feet and a height of 66 to less than 80 feet. The G650 and 737 are in Group III, for aircraft with wingspans of 79 to less than 118 feet and heights of 30 to less than 45 feet.
Technically, Victor is a “taxilane” because it connects aircraft parking areas to taxiways, in this case Taxiway Alpha, which is a “defined path established for the taxiing of aircraft from one part of the airport to another.” For Group III, the taxilane OFA width is 162 feet and the taxiway requirement is 186 feet.
There are many things special about the Cavanaugh Flight Museum. Not only is it one of less than a handful that gives visitors the opportunity to experience airplanes from different eras in their intended environment—the sky—it also cares about the nucleolus of Valentine’s Day, the bond that unites couples.
Last year the museum added a 1928 Travel Air 4000 to its collection of airworthy aircraft. At first, it seemed an odd choice. While it does have a couple of civilian airplanes, the majority of CFM’s collection are military veterans. Curious, we asked Museum Director Doug Jeanes about it. His unexpected answer? “We wanted to have a plane that we could take two riders up at the same time. It’s great for couples.” | aerospace |

Why do hot air balloon flights occur only at sunrise? We’ve got the answers right here, and believe us, it’s more than just because the view is more beautiful.
Safety is our number one priority. Several of our customers have asked us why we do not operate during the day and into the afternoon — so we’ve decided to give you a proper explanation.
Before we delve into the science of it all, we’d like to ask you something? What better time is there to overlook Melbourne’s Royal Botanical Gardens than at the gentle peacefulness of the stillness of dawn?
But let’s get on with the reason we fly our hot air balloon rides at Sunrise, it’s simple:
For the envelope (this is the actual balloon) to rise the pilot heat up the inside of the envelope with hot air to cause the air inside the balloon to become less dense and lighter than the air outside the envelope. When this happens, the balloon can lift.
The amount of lift depends on the difference between the temperature of the air inside the balloon and the temperature of the air outside the balloon. Sunrise is the ideal time for pilots to utilise the cooler calm conditions.
The temperature during the day increases, and by midday, the rising temperature from the ground causes a phenomenon called Thermals, which are like long columns of air pockets that rush up and down. The Thermals can cause drafts in the atmosphere, which would directly affect the control a pilot has on the hot-air balloon.
Typically, during the day, the fast-moving air at higher altitudes mixes with the cooler and slower-moving air from the curvature of the earth, which can cause gusts of particularly unpredictable winds. Of course, this will affect the level of control pilots have, regarding steering and managing the buoyancy mid-air.
For these reasons, BalloonMan only offers flights at Sunrise. But there is something fantastically beneficial about this scientific restriction — this is the best time to take in the views of the Melbourne
Think of the great places you can see while flying over Melbourne: we often fly over sites such as the Royal Botanical Gardens, Yarra River, Rialto Tower, Arts Centre and so many other of our pristine parks, gardens and wonderful landmarks. | aerospace |

Here's the original Beech audio wiring behind the panel. NASA elected to keep their present audio system and to be honest, that was a good move. The factory audio system allowed transmitting and receiving on any radio for either side of the cockpit along with a nice built-in intercom; thus there really wasn't a reason to remove the factory audio system. We did have to change the front panel due to switch location changes and engraving. The wiring doesn't look like much at this point but Steve will clean it up prior to reinstalling it.
The second picture shows the toggle switches and the altitude pre-select. NASA elected to place the altitude pre-select in the center panel so both pilot and co-pilot could easily operate it. Each pilot can listen/talk on any radio they desire; this is a handy feature with a two person crew. | aerospace |

Design for AW-DED
Finite element modeling (FEM)
Wire arc additive manufacturing
The reliability and performance qualification of additively manufactured metal parts is essential for their successful and safe use in engineering applications. Additive Manufacturing (AM) allows parts to be produced more easily than traditional manufacturing. Arc Wire Direct Energy Deposition (AW-DED) is one of the lesser-known metal additive manufacturing technologies. It has enormous potential for large-scale 3D printing applications in the aerospace industry. However, in the aerospace industry, one of the main challenges today is to reduce the weight of components without compromising their structural functionality. Topology optimization offers design engineers the opportunity to create lightweight and complex structural parts. In arc wire direct energy deposition (AW-DED) processes, processing parameters affect material microstructure features, overall part quality, and integrity, as well as bulk mechanical behavior. To address such challenges, the investigation presented in this ... | aerospace |

Not only was the suit hand-sewn by seamstresses whose usual work was sewing bras and girdles, but the head of suit development for Playtex, Lenny Sheperd, had only previously worked as a television repairman. Nicholas de Monchaux, UC Berkeley Assistant Professor of Architecture and author of Spacesuit: Fashioning Apollo (MIT Press, 2011), will explain how the Apollo spacesuit holds crucial lessons for how we approach technology, and our own human nature.

Investigation of the universe beyond Earth's atmosphere by means of manned and unmanned spacecraft. Study of the use of rockets for spaceflight began early in the 20th century. Germany's research on rocket propulsion in the 1930s led to development of the V-2 missile. After World War II, the U.S. and the Soviet Union, with the aid of relocated German scientists, competed in the space race, making substantial progress in high-altitude rocket technology (seestaged rocket). Both launched their first satellites (seeSputnik; Explorer) in the late 1950s (followed by other satellites and unmanned lunar probes) and their first manned space vehicles (seeVostok; Mercury) in 1961. A succession of longer and more complex manned space missions followed, most notably the U.S. Apollo program, including the first manned lunar landing in 1969, and the Soviet Soyuz and Salyut missions. Beginning in the 1960s, U.S. and Soviet scientists also launched unmanned deep-space probes for studies of the planets and other solar system objects (seePioneer; Venera; Viking; Voyager; Galileo), and Earth-orbiting astronomical observatories (see, for example, Hubble Space Telescope), which permitted observation of cosmic objects from above the filtering and distorting effects of Earth's atmosphere. In the 1970s and '80s the Soviet Union concentrated on the development of space stations for scientific research and military reconnaissance (seeSalyut; Mir). After the dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1991, Russia continued its space program, but on a reduced basis owing to economic constraints. In 1973 the U.S. launched its own space station (seeSkylab), and since the mid 1970s it has devoted much of its manned space efforts to the space shuttle program and, more recently, to developing the International Space Station in collaboration with Russia and other countries. | aerospace |

It's possible to get or download caterpillar-wiring diagram from several websites. If you take a close look at the diagram you will observe the circuit includes the battery, relay, temperature sensor, wire, and a control, normally the engine control module. With an extensive collection of electronic symbols and components, it's been used among the most completed, easy and useful wiring diagram drawing program. F100 Jet Engine. The wiring diagram on the opposite hand is particularly beneficial to an outside electrician. Sometimes wiring diagram may also refer to the architectural wiring program. The simplest approach to read a home wiring diagram is to begin at the source, or the major power supply. Basically, the home wiring diagram is simply utilized to reveal the DIYer where the wires are.
If you can't locate the information, get in touch with the manufacturer. The info in the diagram doesn't indicate a power or ground supply. The intention of the fuse is to safeguard the wiring and electrical components on its circuit. A typical watch's basic objective is to tell you the good time of day. When selecting the best type of computer cable to fulfill your requirements, it is very important to consider your upcoming technology plans.
Installing a tachometer on your Vehicles can assist in preventing critical repair problems, however. You might have a weak ground issue. The way the brain learns is a subject that still requires a good deal of study. How it learns can be associated by how it is able to create memories.
In a parallel circuit, each unit is directly linked to the power supply, so each system gets the exact voltage. There are 3 basic sorts of standard light switches. The circuit needs to be checked with a volt tester whatsoever points. F100 Jet Engine. Each circuit displays a distinctive voltage condition. You are able to easily step up the voltage to the necessary level utilizing an inexpensive buck-boost transformer and steer clear of such issues. The voltage is the sum of electrical power produced by the battery. Be sure that the new fuse isn't blown, and carries the very same amperage.
Each fuse is going to have a suitable amp rating for those devices it's protecting. The wiring is merely a bit complicated. Our automotive wiring diagrams permit you to relish your new mobile electronics in place of spend countless hours attempting to work out which wires goes to which Ford part or component. Overall the wiring is really straight forward. There's a lot wiring that you've got to tie into your truck's wiring harness, but it's much easier to do than it seems. A ground wire offers short circuit protection and there's no neutral wire used. There's one particular wire leading from the distributor which may be used for the tachometer.
When you have just a single cable going into the box, you're at the close of the run, and you've got the simplest scenario possible. All trailer plugs and sockets are extremely easy to wire. The adapter has the essential crosslinks between the signals. Wiring a 7-pin plug on your truck can be a bit intimidating when you're looking at it from beyond the box.
The control box may have over three terminals. After you have the correct size box and have fed the cable to it, you're almost prepared to permit the wiring begin. Then there's also a fuse box that's for the body controls that is situated under the dash. F100 Jet Engine. You will find that every circuit has to have a load and every load has to have a power side and a ground side. Make certain that the transformer nameplate power is enough to supply the load that you're connecting.
The bulb has to be in its socket. Your light can be wired to the receiver and don't require supply additional capacity to light as it can get power from receiver. In the event the brake lights aren't working, a police officer may block the vehicle and issue a warning to create the repair within a particular time limit. Even though you would still must power the relay with a power source or battery. Verify the power is off before trying to attach wires. In case it needs full capacity to begin, it won't operate in any way.
Replacing thermostat on your own without a Denver HVAC technician can be quite harrowing if you don't hook up the wiring correctly. After the plumbing was cut out, now you can get rid of the old pool pump. It's highly recommended to use a volt meter to make sure there is no voltage visiting the motor, sometimes breakers do not get the job done properly, also you might have turned off the incorrect breaker. Remote distance is left up to 500m. You may use a superior engine ground. The second, that's the most frequently encountered problem, is a weak ground in the computer system. Diagnosing an electrical short can be extremely tough and costly.

In response, the U.S. created NASA, which in effect usurped the American scientific research sector to wage a fight on a new front in the Cold War: the Space Race. The Soviet Union took an early lead when cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin became the first person in space in 1961. To level the playing field, President Kennedy announced a new goal, one that was so audacious, it meant both sides had to go back to the drawing board. “We choose to go to the Moon in this decade,” he declared.
The Apollo program was designed to land humans on the Moon and Apollo 11 first achieved this goal, but the road to this mission was a bloody one. Eight NASA astronauts died across five separate accidents leading up to Apollo 11, highlighting the high level of ambient risk tolerated to hasten progress.
Many infer that the Apollo missions were popular because of the significant media attention they garnered but this is false. Throughout the 60s, 45–60% of Americans believed the government was overspending on space exploration. The day before Apollo 11 launched, there were protests outside the Kennedy Space Center. People were frustrated by the racial and financial inequalities in society and identified the NASA space program as the quintessence of this excess. An editorial in the Los Angeles Sentinel published days before the landing put a fine point on the discontentment. It read, “does the fact that we are preparing for space travel circumvent the fact that hunger and strife still exist unabated in this wonderful country of a plenty?”
Throughout the 1960s, 45–60% of Americans believed the government was overspending on space exploration.
The world was watching, with 530 million people across the globe tuning in to view the Apollo 11 coverage. Half a century on, it’s hard to imagine the apprehension that hung in the air just prior to the landing. People surely wondered whether NASA would be punished for its hubris, just as the Titanic was. Fittingly, Apollo is the Greek god of archery and he is said to have never missed the target. At 56 minutes and 15 seconds past 3am on the morning of 21 July 1969, Neil Armstrong took one small step, becoming the first person in history to set foot on the Moon. He was joined on the desolate surface 19 minutes later by Buzz Aldrin. In 1903, the Wright brothers flew the Wright Flyer, the first powered aircraft in history; just 66 years on, a piece of wood from this plane’s propeller was taken to the Moon by Armstrong.
The expediency of getting to the Moon gave way and peace was then the prevailing message. President Nixon spoke to them from ground control, saying “as you talk to us from the Sea of Tranquillity, it inspires us to redouble our efforts to bring peace and tranquillity to Earth. For one priceless moment in the whole history of Man, all the people on this Earth are truly one.” The astronauts left behind a gold olive branch to symbolise peace and a plaque that read: “Here men from the planet Earth first set foot upon the Moon, July 1969 A.D. We came in peace for all mankind.”
More than 20 kg of rock was brought back from the Moon. After the Apollo program ended, pieces of the rock were gifted to countries around the world. Ireland received a piece, which was housed in Dunsink Observatory until 1977, when a fire broke out in the observatory. The rock, worth in the region of €5 million, was then accidentally discarded with the debris. It is now somewhere in Finglas dump.
No-one has been to the Moon since the Apollo 17 astronauts left on 14 December 1972. That may change though, with both the European Space Agency and NASA talking about establishing a permanent base on the Moon. Private companies are entering the picture too, and SpaceX have also proposed a crewed mission to Mars.
Part of the reason the Moon has remained uninhabited for the last 47 years is that robotic missions have become far more cost effective. Robots are happy to work without food or sleep so if the sole goal is research, sending a robot is best. Since migrating out of Africa, Homo sapiens has had an innate desire to explore next frontier, for good or ill. If the aim is to inspire the collective imagination, then astronauts do a better job. Although some feel that exploration for exploration’s sake is unjustified. Poet Dorothy Drain wrote, from the perspective of the Moon, “Kindly tell the scientists / I am overworked / And wish / They would leave me alone with my craters.”
It also had an immense influence on popular culture, from Hollywood blockbusters and Michael Jackson’s Moonwalk, to conspiracy theorists and inspiring generations of scientists.
Such a universal goal of going to the Moon managed to dissolve the boundaries of tribalism and unite people, something which would be welcomed in today’s divisive climate. It also had an immense influence on popular culture, from Hollywood blockbusters and Michael Jackson’s Moonwalk, to conspiracy theorists and inspiring generations of scientists. An image of Earth called Earthrise taken from lunar orbit in 1968 by astronaut William Anders ignited the environmental movement of today. Anders said of the photograph, “we set out to explore the Moon and instead we discovered the Earth.” There were more tangible benefits to the Apollo program, too. “Power consumption. Mass. Volume. Data rate. All the things that were important to making space flight feasible led to major changes in technology,” said Professor Scott Hubbard, Stanford University.
Half a century on, the Apollo program may well be the most important event of the 20th century and the pinnacle of human ingenuity to date. The mission proved to be a profound existential moment as millions wondered together about their place in the cosmos, but the motivations to get to the Moon were rooted in a power struggle between superpowers. Today’s impetus of leaving Earth once more stems from materialism (i.e., the resources there we could use) but, similarly, it is possible to envisage these base motivations giving way to something more profound. In any case, perhaps the reason that President Kennedy gave originally is sufficient: “We choose to go to the Moon, not because it is easy but because it is hard.” | aerospace |

(CNN) – Boeing says a new software issue has been discovered on its 737 Max jets.
The company says the issue involves an indicator light staying on longer than intended.
The problem was discovered during flight testing of the 737 Max’s updated software.
Officials don’t think this new issue will delay the aircraft’s return to service.
The 737 Max has been grounded worldwide since March following two fatal crashes that killed 346 people.
The crashes have been linked to a safety system designed to force down the nose of the plane in case it was climbing too fast and was at risk of stalling.
Boeing has been working on a fix of the software on that system for more than a year. | aerospace |

The mission was originally expected to last eight days as the private astronauts were kept busy with science experiments, but undocking was postponed for almost a week due to unfavorable weather at the splashdown site, with the capsule returning to Earth on April 25.
News 6 will stream the conference live at the top of this story when it begins.

The comparisons of two typical fluidic thrust vectoring exhaust nozzles including two-dimensional(2-D) nozzle and axisymmetric nozzle on aerodynamic characteristics was presented by numerical simulation. The results show: the thrust vector angles increased with the increasing secondary flow but decreased with the nozzle pressure ratio (NPR) increasing. With the same secondary flow and NPR, the thrust vector angles of 2-D nozzle were higher than the axisymmetric nozzle-s. So with the lower NPR and more secondary weight flow, the much higher thrust vector angle was caused by 2-D fluidic nozzle. And with the higher NPR and less secondary weight flow, there was not much difference in angular dimension between two nozzles.

The return to earth of two Russian cosmonauts and an American astronaut from the International Space Station was delayed Friday due to harsh conditions at the Kazakhstan landing site, the Russian space agency said.
The return was postponed until Saturday due to a snow storm and icy conditions which would hamper rescue helicopters deployed at such Soyuz landings.
"Due to the bad weather conditions in the Soyuz capsule landing zone, it has been decided to postpone the landing until March 16," the Roscosmos agency said on its website.
Russians Oleg Novitskiy, Evgeny Tarelkin and their U.S. colleague Kevin Ford were originally due to land on the Kazakhstan steppes in the early hours of Friday morning.
The Interfax news agency reported that the landing has been rescheduled for 0306 GMT on Saturday, but that a definitive decision would be made overnight Friday with regard to the weather forecast. | aerospace |

Now it would appear that the answer is Lion Air Flight 610, which plummeted into the Java Sea on Monday morning. All 189 people on board the flight from Jakarta to Bangka Belitung Islands are presumed lost.
See my earlier post on the accident here.
Posted on Twitter today is video from the darkened passenger cabin of the Boeing 737 MAX, as passengers pray and at least one records and streams the scene of catestrophe. It is a heartbreaking and the most poignant reminder I have ever experienced of why it is so important for airlines, regulators and safety investigators to do their jobs responsibly.
Heartbreaking last words.

For Russia, the space industry remains strategically important. This is one of the few industries where Russia maintains a global advantage, and our rocket engines are in high demand in the United States. Nevertheless, Roskosmos is constantly shaken by scandals, primarily of a corruption nature. What is our potential to maintain the position of the world leader in the space industry, what needs to be reformed in the domestic cosmonautics, will Dmitry Rogozin remain at the head of Roscosmos, and what does Ilona Mask's SpaceX company threaten us with? These and other questions were answered by Vitaly Egorov, founder of the Open Space community, popularizer of cosmonautics, blogger Zelenyikot, former employee of a private space company.
- Can we say that there is stagnation in astronautics all over the world? In the 90s, there was a slowdown in astronautics due to the disappearance of the Soviet Union and the end of the Cold War. Will this industry continue to grow rapidly?
- There were indeed times when the Soviet Union made one hundred launches a year, two missiles a week. Today the whole world launches such a number, and then one country. Then, from the beginning of the 90s, the industry began to decline. But since the mid-2000s, interest in astronautics began to grow. New states appeared that began to invest in the development of this industry, for example, the United Arab Emirates, Iran, Australia, New Zealand. Now they are preparing to become space. That is, astronautics is gradually gaining momentum, a new era of its rapid development begins. We will not soon reach the rates of the 50-60s, but, comparing with the decline of the 90s and 2000s, today a certain revenge of cosmonautics is obvious. New ships for manned flights are being created, the idea of a man's flight to the moon has been actualized. All this suggests that cosmonautics has begun to develop more actively than 10 years ago.
- How would you assess the state of the Russian cosmonautics today? Where did this industry come after the disappearance of the Soviet Union?
- The main achievement of our astronautics is that many of the competencies of the Soviet period have been preserved. At least this applies to key positions, such as the production of rocketry, communications spacecraft and earth remote sensing satellites. In many ways, with rare exceptions, we inherited all of this from the Soviet period: either this is the result of evolutionary development, or a direct reproduction of what was then.
Next, we still maintain our international expansion. Post-Soviet cosmonautics turned out to be in demand in the international space business. And many foreign commercial agencies have taken advantage of the capabilities of the Russian cosmonautics.
But there are also negative aspects. For example, the direction of hydrogen engines was lost. Rocket "Energia" today is not reproducible by the Russian cosmonautics. The space shuttle Buran is also impossible to recreate today. It will be easier to create a new ship from scratch. Seeing what is happening with the non-fulfillment of the 2006–2015 federal space program, it can be stated that Russia has lost the ability to create modules for long-term orbital stations. According to the plan, they were to be installed on the ISS by 2012. But they still lie on the ground in a half-disassembled state. Today this is a serious failure, which Roscosmos is not ready to admit.
In addition, in the Soviet Union, the space industry worked in a system of cooperation, everything was interconnected. Today this system has been lost, if only because many of its elements ended up in other states. There was something in the Baltics, a lot of things were in Ukraine. And today these units are unable to participate in Russian cosmonautics, you have to either look for a replacement, or simply abandon these technologies. For example, the Soyuz-FG rocket, which is used to launch the cosmonauts, contains Ukrainian components. It is discontinued today.
- Does the competition between Russian and Western astronautics continue today, as during the Cold War? And what are the advantages of Russian cosmonautics over Western ones?
On Monday it became known that Roskosmos will create a reusable launch vehicle to ensure Russia's competitiveness in the space industry. So far, this is only in the plans. What space developments are used by Russia's competitors - in our material.
Before we start talking about the countries that play a leading role in the current exploration of outer space and their technologies, let's talk a little about the plans of Roscosmos. This department has already been marked by a rather strange planning. So, domestic "space scientists" were already going to create a base on the Moon by 2030 and almost organize a manned flight to Mars. The economic crisis that broke out in Russia had an impact on the ideas of Roscosmos. Nobody says more about plans for the exploration of the Moon, only a manned flight to the Earth's satellite in 2035 remained in the tasks, and Deputy Prime Minister of the Russian government Dmitry Rogozin, who oversees the space industry, returned to more realistic proposals: the creation of a new launch vehicle.
What does our space industry currently have in this regard? Now in Russia there are three types of launch vehicles, each of which is quite actively used. Recently, Proton-class launch vehicles have been taking the lead. This family is upgraded almost continuously. One of the most popular modifications is Proton-M. The first launch of this rocket was made on April 7, 2001 - the carrier rocket was launched from the Baikonur cosmodrome and launched the Ekran M-4 communications satellite into orbit.
First launch: April 7, 2001. The communication satellite "Ekran M-4" was launched into orbit.
Last launch: January 30, 2016. A European communications satellite was launched into orbit.
Features: GLONASS satellites are launched with the help of Protons.
In the last two years, most of the satellite launches have been carried out with the help of Protons. And in second place is Soyuz. Or, to be precise, Soyuz-2 and its numerous modifications. Such a rocket made its first flight into space in 2004.
First launch: 2004. A European meteorological satellite was launched into orbit.
Features: the rocket with the largest number of modifications from the existing series

Thai Smile Air is a new budget airline created by Thai Airways International and set to launch operations by July 2012. Initially dubbed Thai Wings, the new low-cost airline is aimed at serving the low-to-medium-cost air passenger market that falls between budget carrier customers and full service airline flyers.
In its role as a “light premium” airline, Thai Smile Air will cater mainly to business travelers, and will take its place in the market as a “competitive hybrid,” falling between first-class Thai airlines and low-cost budget carriers.
Thai Smile Air is geared towards covering the routes its mother airline, Thai Airways International has been unable to service profitably, and will initially be plying short haul domestic destinations that include Chiang Rai, Khon Kaen, Surat Thani, Ubon Ratchathani and Udon Thani. As such, Thai Airways International will cease to fly to this list of destinations when Thai Smile Air takes over the scheduled routes.
By 2013, Thai Smile Air is expected to open its international routes to other destinations in Southeast Asia, such as Amritsar, Brunei, Danang, Medan, and Penang, and the new airline is projected to earn an annual profit of five million baht by the second quarter of 2014.
With 11 Airbus A320 aircraft each seating 174 passengers on order, Thai Smile Air will start with an initial four aircraft on its fleet, featuring business class and economy seating, and flying from its base at Suvarnabhumi International Airport in Bangkok.
Thai Smile Air will be providing free meals and drinks onboard, a seat selection facility, accelerated check-in, free baggage allowance of between 15 to 20 kg., and a frequent flyer miles program for loyal customers. | aerospace |

According to SpaceX, only 24 humans have been to the moon in history. Find out who's flying and why on Monday, September 17'.
In February 2017, the company said two people had signed a deal to make a trip around the moon aboard SpaceX's Falcon Heavy rocket. Musk has designs on sending spacecraft to Mars and establishing a colony. there.
It's not the same mission SpaceX founder Elon Musk outlined past year. SpaceX spokespeople told the Wall Street Journal that the mission as still going to happen but remained tight-lipped about more details.
In a tweet Thursday night, SpaceX announced its plans to name the first private person to take a journey around the moon - and why.
Musk responded to questions from Twitter users following the announcement, saying that the rocket is still in development and has been "intentionally" created to resemble one seen in a classic comic book series, "The Adventures of Tintin". Instead, Musk claimed that SpaceX had turned its attention to the BFR after deeming it to be a better fit for tourist missions.
US President Donald Trump has championed plans to put boots on the Moon again, as NASA works on building a lunar gateway that would serve as a launching point for missions heading even further into deep space, such as asteroids or Mars. | aerospace |

The next Airlander 10 hybrid airship will have an electric power system, supplied by Collins Aerospace and working with the University of Nottingham.
Collins – which used to be known as Rockwell Collins – has completed a critical design review and started fabrication of a 500 kilowatt electric motor for the Airlander 10. First tests of the motor are expected in 2023.
Hybrid Air Vehicles, which is developing the Airlander 10, says the next airship is planned for 2025 and will have hybrid-electric propulsion to begin with, followed by all-electric by 2030.
The airship’s four fuel-burning engines will be replaced by Collins’ 500kW electric motors, starting with the two forward engines in 2025 and the two rear engines in 2030.
Collins is designing and testing the motor at its Electronic Controls and Motor Systems Center of Excellence in Solihull, UK, where it recently invested $18 million to expand the campus.
“Airlander 10 has the potential to be the world’s first zero-emission aircraft, while pioneering game-changing electric flight technologies in the process,” said Marc Holme for Collins Aerospace.
“As the aerospace industry continues to look for ways to reduce its carbon footprint, electric propulsion offers a significant solution that will create a more sustainable future for our industry and our planet.”
The project has the support of the Aerospace Technology Institute (ATI).
The ATI’s Mark Scully, Head of Technology – Advanced Systems & Propulsion, said, “The Hybrid Air Vehicles Airlander 10 offers a unique opportunity to deploy innovative, high performance motor technology from Collins Aerospace initially in hybrid propulsion and, in the future, all electric propulsion configurations.
“These technology developments will enable economic growth and jobs in the UK aerospace sector.”
Hybrid Air Vehicles announced in April this year that the fuel-burning engines will be the RED A03 diesel V12s, which already have certification with EASA. | aerospace |

StemRad’s shield developed with Lockheed Martin will be used on the first manned flight to Mars in 2021, if the experiment flight to the moon next year shows the suit protected the dummy within as it was supposed to.
Protection from radiation is one of the fiercest challenges facing teams with the ultimate goal of sending humans to Mars and bringing them safely home. especially if a radiation storm were to last longer than a few hours.

The Israel Space Agency and the Ministry of Science, Technology, and Space signed an agreement with the German Aerospace Center for launching the Israeli company’s innovative suit as part of the next trial flight of NASA’s Orion satellite.
Tel Aviv-based StemRad, has already produced a belt as radiation shield to protect workers and first respondents from harmful gamma ray emitted in nuclear disasters, such as Fukushima and Chernobyl.
The vest is designed to protect the bone marrow stem cells in the body’s largest reservoir of bone marrow, the hip region.
StemRad say it has proven the concept in the laboratory and in simulations, but testing will also take place on the Orion spacecraft, a joint project of Lockheed Martin, NASA and the European Space Agency.
In this research NASA’s Orion will be sent to the moon with two dummies on its deck, mimicking tissue density characteristics and anatomy of real human beings. Each torso would be retrofitted with dosimeters at various organ locations such as the lungs and stomach. One of them wearing StemRad radiation vest prototype.
The two will be analyzed after they return to Earth a month later. The dummies, which will contain thousands of radiation detectors, will be checked under laboratory conditions, and the level of radiation penetrating through StemRad’s suit and absorbed by them, if any, will be tested.
The vest is made of layers that look like a contoured map and will be tailor-made for each astronaut. Non-metallic protective materials will be positioned on each shield to cover the organs of each astronaut.
“This product will enable human deep space exploration. Our breakthrough has come in creating the architecture of the multi-layered shield to accurately cover the most important organs,” said StemRad co-founder and Chief Scientific Officer Dr. Oren Milstein.
“We’re going to take our extensive knowledge of human spaceflight, apply our nano-materials engineering expertise, and working closely with StemRad, evaluate the viability for this type of radiation shielding in deep-space,” said Randy Sweet, Lockheed Martin business development director for the civil space line of business. “The Lockheed Martin team believes this could result in an innovative solution to enhance crew safety on the journey to Mars.”
Astronauts in Earth’s orbit, such as those on the International Space Station, do not face the same risk because they are protected by the planet’s magnetic field which acts as a shield, Milstein explained.
Daniel Levitt and Milstein founded StemRad in 2011, a few months after the disaster at the nuclear reactors at Fukushima, Japan. | aerospace |

Royal Air Force Greenham Common or RAF Greenham Common is a former Royal Air Force station in the civil parishes of Greenham and Thatcham in the English county of Berkshire. The airfield was southeast of Newbury, about 55 miles (89 km) west of London.
Opened in 1942, it was used by both the Royal Air Force and United States Army Air Forces during the Second World War and the United States Air Force during the Cold War, also as a base for nuclear weapons. After the Cold War ended, it was closed in September 1992.
The airfield was also known for the Greenham Common Women's Peace Camp held outside its gates in the 1980s in protest against the stationing of cruise missiles on the base. In 1997 Greenham Common was designated as public parkland.
Before the RAF Station
Before the RAF Station was built the area was Common grazing land
Second World War
The first arrival was the 51st Troop Carrier Wing Headquarters, arriving in September 1942. The 51st TCW controlled the three troop carrier groups at RAF Keevil (62nd TCG), RAF Aldermaston (60th TCG) and RAF Ramsbury (64th TCG) as part of Twelfth Air Force. The Wing Headquarters was located in requisitioned Bowdown House, a mansion on the northeast end of the airfield, and made use of the runways for its communication and courier flights.
The 51st TCW HQ followed its groups to North Africa as part of Operation Torch in November 1942.
In late 1943, Greenham Common airfield was turned over to the USAAF Ninth Air Force. An American advance party soon arrived to ready the airfield for the incoming units. Greenham Common was known as USAAF Station AAF-486 for security reasons by the USAAF during the war, and it was referred to by this name instead of by location. Its USAAF Station Code was "GC".
354th Fighter Group
As troop carrier groups began arriving in the UK in late 1943 and deployed in the Greenham area, Greenham Common was one of the airfields used by the Ninth Air Force for fighter groups arriving from the United States.
On 4 November the 354th Fighter Group arrived from Portland Army Air Field, Oregon and they were informed they were to fly the North American P-51 Mustang. This was a change of equipment for the group, as they had trained with Bell P-39 Airacobras. The group stayed at Greenham Common for only a few days, being transferred to RAF Boxted in Essex on 13 November.
368th Fighter Group
- 395th Fighter Squadron (A7)
- 396th Fighter Squadron (C2)
- 397th Fighter Squadron (D3)
438th Troop Carrier Group
Literally as the 368th FG was moving out, the 438th Troop Carrier Group was flying into Greenham Common from RAF Langar. Flying Douglas C-47 Skytrains, they had the following Troop Carrier squadrons and fuselage codes:
- 87th Troop Carrier Squadron (3X)
- 88th Troop Carrier Squadron (M2)
- 89th Troop Carrier Squadron (4U)
- 90th Troop Carrier Squadron (Q7)
The 90th TCS stayed in the UK and operated from RAF Welford until the rest of the groups aircraft returned from Italy on 24 August. In the absence of the 438th, the 316th Troop Carrier Group used Greenham Common as a forward base.
The airfield was inactive for the next five years, and would probably have remained so but for the sudden escalation in tension between the Soviet Union and its Second World War Allies in what later became known as the Cold War.
After the 1948 Berlin Blockade and the 1950 invasion of South Korea by the Korean People's Army, the perceived threat from the Soviet Union rose. On 23 April 1951, RAF Greenham Common was made available to the United States Air Force by the British Ministry of Defence as a Strategic Air Command base, with joint operations with the Royal Air Force units. Formal handover to the 7th Air Division was on 18 June and massive reconstruction work began. Basically, the entire wartime airfield was demolished and replaced with a new 10,000 ft (3048 m) east–west runway with parallel taxiways north and south of it leading to extensive hardstandings. A new technical and domestic site was built to the south of the runway, involving diversion of the A339 road and demolition of several homes and two pubs. Construction work was finally completed and the base declared operational in September 1953.
Strategic Air Command
In the post-Second World War years, the United States Strategic Air Command was based at three major airfields in eastern England: RAF Lakenheath, RAF Mildenhall and RAF Sculthorpe. The increasing tension of the Cold War led to a re-evaluation of these deployments and a move further west, behind RAF fighter forces, to RAF Greenham Common, RAF Brize Norton, RAF Upper Heyford and RAF Fairford.
The airfield came under Strategic Air Command's 7th Air Division, with the 3909th Combat Support Group as its administrative unit on the base, responsible for all non-flying activities as well as maintenance and logistical support of the flying units attached to RAF Greenham Common.
The initial bomber wing deployed was the 303d Bombardment Wing with B-47 Stratojets, arriving on 17 March 1954 from Davis-Monthan Air Force Base in Arizona. The 303d stayed just over a month, returning on 28 April 1954. This was the first of the short-term temporary duty deployments from home bases in the US that continued intermittently over the next 10 years. Other known SAC deployments were:
- Schilling AFB, Kansas)
- 97th Air Refueling Squadron (5 May 1956 – 13 July 1956)(KC-97)
(TDY From 97th Bombardment Wing, Schilling AFB, Kansas)
- 310th Bombardment Wing (3 October 1956 – 9 January 1957) (B-47, KC-97)
(TDY Smokey Hill AFB, later renamed Schilling AFB, Kansas)
- 40th Bombardment Wing (1 July 1957 – 1 October 1957) (B-47, KC-97)
(TDY Schilling AFB, Kansas)
In April 1958 the 90-day detachments were replaced by a three-week Reflex Alert rotation, during which the bombers did not fly, reducing the noise considerably. The runways and dispersals were further strengthened for the Boeing B-52 Stratofortress bomber, but none were based at Greenham.
From August 1960 the B-52 made periodic training visits, and a Convair B-58 Hustler arrived briefly in October 1963. Reflex operations by B-47 and KC-97s continued until 1 April 1964.
The Strategic Air Command (SAC) departed Greenham Common on 30 June 1964, much to the relief of the local residents; the thundering jet bombers of SAC came no more, and for several years it was used for USAF storage and as a relief base.
United States Air Forces in Europe
The closure of US bases in France forced the reopening of RAF Greenham Common for air transport operations (Operation FRELOC) to handle materiel and personnel overflow beginning in early January 1967. In late 1967, Greenham Common was used for NATO Exercise REFORGER, again as a result of the withdrawal of France from the NATO integrated military alliance.
On 1 November 1968 control of RAF Greenham Common was transferred from SAC to the United States Air Forces in Europe, with the 7551st Combat Support Group having administrative control of the base. However, the base was little used, primarily being utilised as a United States Military Postal Mail sorting facility, with aircraft flying mail in from the United States, being sorted at Greenham Common, then distributed to American bases in the UK and Europe. Mail from American forces in Europe was also sent to Greenham Common and sorted there, before being flown to the United States.
The 20th Tactical Fighter Wing at RAF Upper Heyford established "Operating Location A" at Greenham Common for its F-111 fighters in 1976, using the airfield occasionally for dispersal exercises.
In 1977 the USAF announced plans to reactivate the base to house KC-135 aerial refueling tanker aircraft, due to a lack of capacity at the KC-135's main base in Britain, RAF Mildenhall. This led to widespread local opposition, and in 1978 the British Defence Secretary vetoed the plan.
501st Tactical Missile Wing
The Soviet deployment of the SS-20 missile from 1975 caused major concern in the NATO alliance. The longer range, greater accuracy, mobility and striking power of the new missile was perceived to alter the security of Western Europe. It was feared that the Soviet Union could launch a nuclear strike against Western Europe with a reduced threat of nuclear retaliation (i.e. compared to an attack on the continental United States). After discussions, NATO agreed to a two part strategy:
- To pursue arms control negotiations with the Soviet Union to reduce the Soviet and American INF arsenals.
- To deploy in Europe from 1983 up to 464 USAF BGM-109G Ground Launched Cruise Missiles or GLCMs, as well as 108 US Army Pershing II ballistic missiles. (See also SLCM and ALCM).
The UK's share of this total was 160 missiles, 96 based at Greenham Common with four spares, and 64 at RAF Molesworth. When in June 1980 it was announced that RAF Greenham Common was to become the first site for cruise missiles, there was an outcry from the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament. Once more a massive new construction was undertaken as the GLCM Alert and Maintenance Area (GAMA) site was built in the southwest corner of the base. GAMA was a maximum security QRA (Quick Reaction Alert) area with 6 large above ground shelters in which fully operational cruise missiles were stored.
These shelters were specially designed and constructed to protect the GLCMs and crews against nuclear and conventional strikes. They were about 10 m high, with a reinforced 2 m thick concrete ceiling. Below was a massive titanium plate, 3 m of sand and a reinforced concrete plate. The shelters were completely covered with tons of clay. Each shelter was equipped with three hydraulic nuclear blast proof doors at both ends to assure a quick entry or exit. They were designed to withstand the blast of an air-bursting nuclear explosion above the base or a direct hit from a 2,500 lb (1,100 kg) conventional bomb.
Each shelter contained 2 LCC Launch Control Centers and 4 TEL transporter erector launchers. Units were mobile and, once deployed, would travel from the base in convoys to secret preset dispersal sites. This would happen within minutes of the alert being given; movement was via local roads through the surrounding villages.
A series of meetings held during August and September 1986 culminated in a summit between United States President Ronald Reagan and the General Secretary of the CPSU Mikhail Gorbachev in Reykjavík, Iceland, on 11 October 1986. To the surprise of both men's advisers, the two agreed in principle to removing INF systems from Europe and to equal global limits of 100 INF missile warheads.
The United States and the Soviet Union signed the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty in 1987, which led to the removal of all nuclear missiles from the base. The last GLCMs at RAF Greenham Common were removed in March 1991, and the 501st TMW inactivated on 4 June 1991.
Greenham Common Peace Camp
From 1981 "women's peace camps" were established in protest at the deployment of cruise missiles. They came to be known as "The Greenham Women" or "peace women", and their 19-year protest drew worldwide media and public attention, often due to the peace women cutting through the fences of the base.
USAF departure and closure
On 11 September 1992, the USAF returned RAF Greenham Common to the Ministry of Defence. On 9 February 1993 the Greenham Common air base was declared surplus to requirements by the Secretary of State for Defence and the facility was closed and put up for sale.
With the departure of the cruise missiles and the subsequent closure of the base by the MOD in 1993, the peace camps remained at the site until September 2000 to ensure the base was closed and the land returned to the public. However, the protesters no longer attracted the attention of the media as they did during the 1980s when there were some 40 camps spread around the base perimeter.
Post RAF station
In 1997 Greenham Common was designated as public parkland, effectively returning it to its pre-WW2 status but with restrictions. Greenham and Crookham Commons became a Site of Special Scientific Interest. The Cold War era control tower has recently been redeveloped and is now open as a visitor centre with a historical exhibition and community cafe. Cattle from local farms are permitted to graze the Common and often stray onto the adjacent Burys Bank Road.
Near nuclear accident
On 28 February 1958, a B-47E of the 310th Bomb Wing developed problems shortly after takeoff and jettisoned its two 1,700 gallon external fuel tanks. They missed their designated safe impact area, and one hit a hangar while the other struck the ground 65 feet (20 m) behind a parked B-47E. The parked plane, which was fuelled, had a pilot on board, and was carrying a 1.1 megaton (4.6 PJ) B28 nuclear bomb, was engulfed by flames. The conflagration took sixteen hours and over a million gallons of water to extinguish, partly because of the magnesium alloys used in the aircraft. Although two men were killed and eight injured, the US and UK governments kept the accident secret: as late as 1985, the British government claimed that a taxiing aircraft had struck a parked one and that no fire was involved.
Two scientists, F. H. Cripps and A. Stimson, who both worked for the Atomic Weapons Research Establishment at Aldermaston, stated in a secret 1961 report, released by the CND in 1996, that the fire detonated the high explosives in the nuclear weapon, that plutonium and uranium oxides were spread over a wide area (foliage up to 8 mi (13 km) away was contaminated with uranium-235) and that they had discovered high concentrations of radioactive contamination around the air base.
However, a radiological survey commissioned in 1997 by Newbury District Council and Basingstoke and Deane found no evidence of a nuclear accident at Greenham Common, suggesting that Cripps and Stimson's statements were false. The seven-month long survey was carried out by the Geosciences Advisory Unit of Southampton University and combined a helicopter-mounted gamma ray detector survey with a ground-based survey. The team analysed nearly 600 samples taken from soil, lake sediment, borehole water, house dust, runway tarmac and concrete, looking for uranium and plutonium isotopes. No evidence of an accident involving nuclear weapons damage was found at the former air force base although the ground survey detected some low-level uranium contamination around the Atomic Weapons Establishment at Aldermaston thought to be derived from that facility, and the helicopter survey found some anomalies around Harwell Laboratory.

Risky operations while in the air or on ground pose a threat to people and property. Turning a blind eye to risky behavior impacts everyone.
In a new blog post, Leah Read, a senior air safety investigator in the NTSB Office of Aviation Safety, warns against turning a blind eye to risky behavior in another pilot.
She notes that when NTSB investigators arrive at the scene of a fatal accident, they soon pick up on clues that the pilot exhibited risky behavior — not just on this flight, but for years. When they ask witnesses if they talked to the pilot or the FAA about it, most say no, she says.
“But what if you see something, and don’t step up and say something? The reality is that nonreporting can put people at risk,” she says.
She then details several examples of NTSB investigators who have seen the “tragic consequences of turning a blind eye to a known hazard.”
“Turning a blind eye, makes nothing disappear.” Anonymous
When air safety investigators arrive at the scene of a fatal aircraft accident they meet with law enforcement officers, witnesses, friends of the pilot, and family. During these critical interviews, they start to get a bigger picture of the circumstances surrounding the accident and those involved. It’s very common to hear almost immediately that the pilot was very “conscientious,” “thorough,” and an “excellent pilot.”
But there are also times when no one seems to be saying anything much at all about the pilot…until investigators dig deeper. That’s when they hear things such as, “The pilot never maintained his airplane right.” or “Everybody knew he was going to crash eventually.”
There are also times when the investigator will get a call via their communications center that a witness must talk to someone “right away.” The witness then tells investigators that the pilot had a LONG history of “maverick-like” behavior, was known to “buzz” a friend’s house, or used illegal drugs—as just some examples. In these situations, they will ask the witness if they had talked to the pilot about this behavior or contacted the FAA. They sometimes tell them, “I tried to talk to him, but he wouldn’t listen. He was too prideful.”
But more often, they tell investigators that they didn’t say anything to the pilot or FAA. Sometimes, the pilot was a friend whom they didn’t want to embarrass or cause any trouble. Personally, as a fellow pilot, I can understand the concerns.
But what if you see something, and don’t step up and say something? The reality is that nonreporting can put people at risk.
Many don’t realize that there are actions the FAA can take if risky pilot behavior is reported. The FAA has established a hotline for confidential and anonymous reporting. As noted on the FAA website, “The FAA Hotline accepts reports concerning the safety of the National Airspace System, violation of a Federal Aviation Regulation (Title 14 CFR), aviation safety issues…. The FAA Hotline provides a single venue for…the aviation community and the public to file their reports.”
As one FAA inspector warned, “We can’t investigate what we don’t know.” If a complaint was made via the FAA Hotline, the FAA would be obligated to investigate. Remember, you may not only save the life of another pilot but also an innocent passenger or bystander.
The NTSB, unfortunately, has seen the tragic consequences of turning a blind eye to a known hazard. They have seen accidents that have occurred in someone’s front yard, skimmed the roof of an apartment building, or crashed near a school. If the airplane had impacted just a few yards in either direction, the damage and loss of life could have been so much worse. This was the case in an accident where the pilot lost control of the airplane, crashing into a front yard just feet from an occupied house. Thankfully, there was no fire, and no kids were playing in that front yard.
Within moments of arriving on scene and being debriefed by law enforcement, a witness statemen was provided. The pilot had a known history of reckless behavior. Further investigation revealed that people knew of the pilot’s behavior but didn’t want to report him for several of the reasons mentioned above. Not surprisingly, the FAA had no negative history on the pilot. He had a clean record and was never on their radar.
Sadly, in this accident, the pilot and his innocent passenger died. But what if he had other passengers onboard? What would have happened if he had crashed into the house, or, worse, a crowd?
Another pilot investigated an accident was flying an airplane he was not rated to fly, in instrument conditions without holding an instrument rating. The pilot had recorded numerous notes in his logbook that provided compelling evidence of his own unsafe flying, by his own admission. The pilot noted landing on a major highway and flying low over a crowd during parades. He was also known for unsafe low-level flights over airshows and having a general disregard for proper communication procedures. Yet nothing was done about his behavior; people turned a blind eye to it. Tragically, the pilot and three occupants died in the accident when the airplane encountered instrument meteorological conditions and impacted terrain.
In the big scheme of things, we need to ask ourselves, who are we really protecting by keeping quiet? As active pilots, mechanics, airport personnel, friends, and family members, you are the eyes and ears to what’s going on out there. You know your airport and the people who use it. You know when your friend or family member seems risky or unsafe. If you identify a hazard, then speak up. Or, file a report with the FAA Hotline. Just remember, we all share the same airspace or may be nearby if their plane crashes.
Stay safe and don’t turn a blind eye!

In representation of Puerto Rico Wing, 2d Lt Felipe A. Torres from the Aguadilla Cadet Squadron (PR-035) attended the Advance Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS) Pilot Course. The training, which lasted from Sunday, March 3 to Saturday, March 9, of this year, took place at Maxwell Air Force Base, Alabama.
2d Lt Torres, successfully completed the training on March 8, 2019, where he obtained the qualifications as an UAS Pilot for missions in aerial recognition “mapping”.
Four of these advanced new technology were assigned to Puerto Rico Wing, and 2d Lt Torres will have the honor to be in-charged of these UASs.
“The Advanced UAS Pilot Course was a very fulfilling experience. During the week of training we learned about the current Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) regulations regarding operation and safety in the use and handling of drones. We also spend a lot of time in the field flying some units assigned for the training. We are currently expecting about four UASs units for the use of the Puerto Rico Wing.”, said 2d Lt Felipe A. Torres after completing the course.

On January 28, 1986, the seven crew members of the Space Shuttle Challenger/STS-51L “Teacher in Space” mission set out to broaden educational horizons and advance scientific knowledge. Their mission exemplified man’s noblest and most wondrous qualities – to explore, discover, and teach. To the nation’s shock and sorrow, their Space Shuttle exploded 73 seconds after liftoff. In the aftermath of the Challenger accident, the crew’s families came together, firmly committed to the belief that they must carry on the spirit of their loved ones by continuing the Challenger crew’s educational mission. In April 1986, they created Challenger Center for Space Science Education (Challenger Center).
What They Do:
Their unique and proven teaching model – Challenger Learning Centers – gives students the chance to become astronauts and engineers and solve real-world problems as they share the thrill of discovery on missions through the Solar System. Using space simulation and role-playing strategies, students bring their classroom studies to life and cultivate the skills needed for future success. Challenger Learning Centers reach into communities around the globe, engaging more than 400,000 middle school-age students and 40,000 educators each year.
Challenger Learning Center Network
The foundation of the organization is the global network of Challenger Learning Centers. The core of each Challenger Learning Center is an interactive computerized simulator with a Mission Control room patterned after the NASA Johnson Space Center and an orbiting Space Station ready for exploration. These hands-on facilities give students the chance to participate in dynamic simulated space missions and cultivate the skills needed for future success, such as team work and problem solving. Through partnerships with science centers, museums, universities and schools, there are more than 40 Challenger Learning Centers located throughout the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom and South Korea – with more opening soon. | aerospace |

The Aspen Skiing Co. announced on Thursday that drones can only be used at it’s ski resorts by people with a special license from the Federal Aviation Administration.
The regulation mirrors U.S. Forest Service rules on drones that prohibits their use on public land unless a drone flier has obtained an exemption from the FAA.
It has been reported that the SkiCo believes that allowing drones on their mountains
is way too risky and could be dangerous to people riding chairlifts and coming down the slopes. | aerospace |

Dr. Jena McCollum is an Assistant Professor and Director of the Additive Manufacturing Laboratory in the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at the University of Colorado Colorado Springs. Prof. McCollum obtained her B.S. degree in Mechanical Engineering at West Texas A&M University in 2012 and subsequently, her Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering at Texas Tech University in 2015. She completed an NRC Postdoctoral Research Fellowship at the United States Air Force Academy Chemistry Research Center in 2016. Her research interests include equipment design and material characterization to enhance additive manufacturing technologies. Her current research interests include manipulating binder formulations and building specialty additive manufacturing equipment to bridge technical gaps associated with composite design utilizing thermoplastic and thermosetting binders.
3D Printing From Concrete to Rockets
Manufacturing materials with complex geometries and spatially variable composition is a leading challenge in many high-performance application spaces. Traditional manufacturing methods (such as subtractive manufacturing) do not readily offer composition control and these techniques can be time extensive when manufacturing complex geometries. One strategy to address these challenges is to employ additive manufacturing technologies (also known as 3D printing) in the design and development of high-performance composite materials. From designing new biomedical devices to improving aerospace performance, additive manufacturing has shown great potential in the past decade. The key focus areas of my Additive Manufacturing Laboratory includes discovering new materials suitable for additive manufacturing as well as designing 3D printers to handle challenging, and at times sensitive, materials. Currently, there are still many challenges that preclude additive manufacturing from reaching its full potential.
My team works in designing new printers that can work with high viscosity materials like concrete or solid rocket motor propellant to better understand the viscoelastic response and flow behavior in various additive manufacturing inks and slurries. These printers are fitted with a variety of sensors in order to capture different behavior at various points in the print. For example, we can see how much pressure is needed to extrude different materials at different temperatures.
My students and I are working hard to better understand material response at each point of the process to better understand what kind of materials or what kind of printers need to be designed to improve this process to meet application demands. This type of research marries many fields of study, from chemistry to mechanical engineering. | aerospace |

Imagine if a space craft could repair itself while still in orbit. Or if a collapsing building could tell first responders what areas were safe to go into. New Mexico State University’s College of Engineering has received an award from NASA that could make these possibilities a reality.
The NASA Experimental Program to Stimulate Competitive Research (EPSCoR) award will fund research on self-healing materials and structural health monitoring of aerospace structures. The proposal was one of 23 proposals chosen by NASA. The $744,144 award will fund the project for the next three years.
Co-principal investigator and mechanical engineering department head Tom Burton will be collaborating with professors at New Mexico Tech on the project. There will also be collaborators from NASA and Los Alamos National Laboratory.
“It’s in a field called structural health monitoring, which means we will be doing research on methods for conducting health monitoring of aerospace structures as well as determining damage in materials and damage in connections,” Burton said.
“One component of the project is to develop some materials that are self-healing, which means when there’s damage they have a means to repair the damage.”
NMSU will handle structural damage issues and modeling techniques, while researchers at Tech will work on self-healing materials, micro-scale work and structural health modeling.
The proposals sent to NASA needed to address not just research relevant to NASA’s mission, but also the areas of workforce and economic development.
“The EPSCoR program is designed to help states develop their space research capability and capacity,” said Patricia Hynes, director of the NASA EPSCoR and New Mexico Space Grant Consortium at NMSU.
“The proposal develops a capability for the nation in that it detects cracks in air-frame structures and then researches a system to autonomously heal those cracks. This is a useful application of technology for both commercial and government aeronautics and space programs,” Hynes said.
“So for example, Eclipse Aviation in Albuquerque might have use for some of the sensor and detection systems that we’re developing through this proposal to integrate into the construction of their commercial aircraft. Virgin Galactic on the other hand, might have use for a different type of detector because of different stress conditions of launch and reentry on the vehicles they’re developing out at Spaceport America.”
Part of EPSCoR’s purpose is to involve the entire research community of New Mexico, Hynes said, and the research will eventually include the University of New Mexico as well. “UNM and New Mexico Tech are always excellent research partners of ours,” Hynes said.
Applications in aerospace structure repair also include aircraft repair. Finding ways to economically detect stress cracks in critical components of the frame or skin of an aircraft would improve passenger and crew safety, Hynes said.
Developing the technology for commercial use in the $60 billion a year aeronautics and aviation business would fulfill the EPSCoR program’s intent for increasing economic development in the state, Hynes said.
Researchers at Tech also foresee applications in homeland security and deeper oil drilling with sensor systems that can monitor structural integrity, allowing people to temporarily prevent building collapse, or self-healing materials that can repair drilling machinery underground.
The award will also benefit students in the NMSU College of Engineering. “One of the requirements that we had to meet with in the proposal was to explain in our workforce development plan how we were going to involve underrepresented groups that are traditionally left out of technical areas,” Hynes said.
Hynes described under-representation of women and minorities as a persistent problem across the nation. Involving students in research projects helps recruit and retain all students, Hynes said. Additionally, working on funded research is a way to prepare students for the workforce.
Working in teams that reach across different engineering disciplines is a valuable job-skill preparation exercise, Hynes said. Chemical engineers will be involved with those specializing in materials, and mechanical and electrical engineers will determine how to set up detectors and how testing can be performed. Computer engineers will monitor testing as well as the detectors within the structure, Hynes said.
“These are very common situations that occur in industry. NMSU has a superior reputation for its ability to prepare students for the workforce. This is one more project that we can add to the portfolio of many excellent research programs going on in the state of New Mexico, said Hynes.
“This is our aerospace engineering program’s first large research proposal that we’ve acquired from NASA, and it is a big morale boost for our fledgling program. We’re very fortunate to have the leadership that we do in the College of Engineering with Dr. Burton and the team he’s developing, and we look forward to leveraging more research from this award,” Hynes said.
The students also get to the opportunity to work with NASA contractors and others in the industry, Hynes said. “We’ve been very fortunate in our relationship with NASA over the years. Universities are the backbone of our dominance and pre-eminence in space and NASA will continue to work with universities in the foreseeable future.” | aerospace |

A University of Brighton team has carried out a set of experiments flying over France on parabolic flights that create weightless conditions similar to space.
The weightless effect is achieved flying a series of steep upward and downward manoeuvres which can be compared to riding a rollercoaster with a total drop of 3km (10,000 feet)! The flights from Bordeaux’s Novespace centre are carried out by a specially adapted Airbus A310 plane that climbs then plummets in a way which balances gravitational forces to provide a sequence of short periods of weightlessness lasting around 22 seconds – but experienced 31 times each flight.
Working in collaboration with researchers from the University of Liverpool, the team from University of Brighton’s world-renowned Advanced Engineering Centre saw Professor Marco Marengo – a veteran of nearly 20 ‘weightlessness flights’ – working alongside Dr Nicolas Miché (project lead) and PhD student Francois Clemens to test pulsating heat pipes under microgravity conditions, looking at shape changes and capillary action in different arrangements of bent tubes.
Pulsating heat pipes are used to move heat from one place to another without fans or pumps, and can be used to help satellites and space probes stay at the correct temperature in the challenging conditions of space. The new system being tested by the Brighton team involved an innovative flexible form of heat pipe designed to be a forerunner of future flexible electronics, deployable radiators and booms in space operations.
Past experiments carried out by the Brighton team floating above France have looked at how heat pipes of different configurations and materials react and operate in different gravities, with implications both for safety in space as well as the effective conduct of experiments on orbital vehicles such as the International Space Station (ISS).
University of Brighton postgraduates also won the European Space Agency’s student project competition Fly Your Thesis in 2018 – after being the first UK team selected to take part in the long-running programme for 14 years.
Professor Marengo said: “What is important in this kind of flights is doing experiments directly on set-ups under weightless conditions, which makes this program different to all the other tools for microgravity experiments, such as sounding rockets, drop towers and the ISS.
“I have experienced more than 300 parabolas – over 100 minutes with absence of weight. The first time is a surprise, since you have really the impression to fly, to float in the air. It is difficult to get used to this feeling because it lasts only 22 seconds, preceded and followed by a period in hyper gravity, which can be rather heavy to cope with. In the transition between microgravity and hyper gravity, you can also feel dizzy even as frequent 0g flier.”
Novespace is part of the French Space Agency (CNES), and its Airbus A310 ZERO-G is one of the world’s largest parabolic flight aircraft. UK involvement in space has surged in recent years, with rocket bases planned for Scotland and Cornwall, and nearly 45.000 people now employed in the industry. The UK’s latest National Space Strategy plans to invest more than £6 billion over the next 10 years to strengthen the UK as a world class space nation. The UK Space Agency provides active support to student and research team access to microgravity platforms such as parabolic flights. | aerospace |

Installation was pretty straightforward only taking about 12 man hours. TruTrak RFI/EMI considerations: The autopilot programmer is shielded and does not generate any appreciable level of electromagnetic interference. Moreover, the servo lines (except for power and ground) are low-current and cannot contribute to RF interference. The servo power and ground lines do have switching currents through them, but so long as there are no parallel runs of servo power and.

Auto-Pilot Pitch and Trutrak Auto-Trim Wiring. Posted on December 2, 2012 by Mark B Cooper. Today was a short day of wiring. I routed and worked on the wiring for the Auto-Pilot pitch servo and the associated TruTrak Auto-Trim. The later of which allows the AP to automatically adjust the pitch trim to keep the plane flying level. The benefit is when you turn off the AP the plane is properly. Once you have a TruTrak installed under their STC, the conversion to a Dynon autopilot (once Dynon gets around to adding your aircraft to their AML as having the autopilot) should be a very quick conversion unless Dynon screws it up (like redesigning the mounts and rigging). I am loath suggest someone plagiarize another's design, but there does seem to be some precedent for that. Avidyne sells.

TruTrak Flight Systems is a leader and innovator in the experimental and light sport aircraft autopilot market. In order to gauge their popularity with the Meyers 200 owners, TruTrak has asked one of our members, Dean Siracusa, to inquire as to how many people would be interested in purchasing their all-new digital autopilot for the Meyers 200 airplane. The cost of the autopilot will be about. The TruTrak Digitrak II autopilot would occasionally respond to stronger lift or sink by diving as much as 700 fpm or climbing nearly as fast. Naturally, this played hob with the RPM and I'd sometimes have to pull the throttle to avoid overspeed. I was in a hurry and most of the trip was at 5450 RPM or so. My question is whether there is a way to set the AP so that it doesn't hunt quite so. Carpenter Avionics Now Authorized Dealer for TruTrak Flight Systems.

Pros: The staff in the plane was very nice and proactive in giving us immediatly water and snack while we were waiting for luggages to unload due to weight restriction
Cons: The plane was too heavy to take off so we had to wait for 2 hr while they were removing luggages. The wind conditions are well known and locals avoid flying to Florence because of constant delays. Either put better planes or limit the weight in the planes (less passengers or smaller luggages) for this airport. 2h late made me miss my connecting flight and I had to wait until the next day to get to my final destination.

The Indian Army had targeted the helicopter with small firearms for entering the country's airspace around noon today.
According to Pakistani media channel Aaj News, the Pakistan Muslim League (Nawaz) leader, the so-called "Prime Minister" of Pakistan-occupied Kashmir was preparing to land in PoK's Tarori area when the incident occurred. However, Mr Khan's chopper managed to land safely.
In a video apparently shot by a witness, a white Pakistani helicopter was seen flying high the side of a Poonch hill amid sounds of constant gunfire — an indication that the army was trying to shoot it down.
The Pakistani helicopter was first spotted in Indian airspace at 12:13 pm, sources said.
According to norms recognised by both India and Pakistan, helicopters are not supposed to come within one kilometre of the Line of Control or LoC, and fixed-wing aircraft within 10 km. In February, a Pakistani helicopter was seen flying 300 metres from the LoC.
"Pakistan is adopting an aggressive posture… This violation of airspace is a serious matter," Major General Ashwani Siwach (retired) told NDTV over the phone. "It needs to be seen how deep the helicopter came inside Indian territory and how long it was in Indian airspace… then only one could make out what could be the aim of this intrusion, is it recce, is it surveillance."
However, Major General Siwach conceded that the aircraft may have crossed the LoC inadvertently. "Due to navigation problem a helicopter pilot can come by mistake," Major General Ashwani added. "As far as small helicopters are concerned, navigation is done manually. At times they make use of landmarks on the ground." | aerospace |

Planetary scientists have never seen dwarf planet Ceres from this close up. The German-developed Framing Camera on board NASA's Dawn spacecraft acquired this image on 25 January 2015 from a distance of just 237,000 kilometres.
It is still early days for the scientists involved in evaluating data that the 21 instruments on board the Rosetta spacecraft and its Philae lander have transmitted back to Earth. But preliminary results from seven of the 11 instruments on the Rosetta orbiter have been published in a special edition of the journal Science.
Nili Fossae caught the attention of astronomers in the last century, when Mars could only be observed from Earth with ground-based telescopes. The grabens of Nili Fossae extend for several hundred kilometres along the eastern edge of the giant impact basin Isidis Planitia and, together with the volcanic region Syrtis Major, they form a concentric pattern that runs parallel to the edge of the basin.
Planetary scientists at the German Aerospace Center (Deutsches Zentrum für Luft- und Raumfahrt; DLR) may find a thick ice crust with an ocean underneath when the NASA Dawn spacecraft arrives at Ceres in March 2015. Even now, from a distance of 383,000 kilometres, the first surface features are visible.

Indigenous electric vehicle companyhas revealed that its ambitions to build India's first air taxi is on track, with plans to launch flight trials soon. If all goes well, the company believes that it can be commercially certified by late 2023.
First reported by IANS, CTO and co-founder Satya Chakravarty said, "We are developing the full-scale prototype, the ePlane e200, and aim to have the e200 cargo variant built towards the end of 2022 and undergo the certification process through the next year for it to be ready for commercial deployment approximately by late 2023."
The ePlane Company's air taxi could make both passenger and cargo transport up to 10 times faster than current models. The passenger version is expected to undergo more rigorous certification tests, which would take up to 2024.
Chakravarty said that he believes that his company's eVTOL (electric vertical takeoff and landing) product is among the most compact being developed globally, and this can help India's traffic problems.
"One of our key differentiating factors is that we're focused on making the ePlane one of most compact eVTOLs in the world that would cater to the mid-mile and last mile urban air mobility market segments, thereby alleviating traffic congestion in cities," he said.
Earlier this year, the company raised $5 million in a pre-Series A round. Other companies worldwide that are working on building and certifying air taxis include Boeing, Hyundai, Airbus, Toyota, Uber, and Joby Aviation. | aerospace |

At 5:20 p.m. Saturday, a Papillon Airways EC-130 helicopter carrying a pilot and six passengers crashed near Quartermaster Canyon on the Hualapai Nation, Bradley said in a news release.
First responders had difficulty reaching the four survivors, Bradley said, noting, "It is too windy and it's dark and the area is very rugged". The evacuation process was an overnight one and required military assistance from Las Vegas' Nellis Air Force Base.
The helicopter tour in the Grand Canyon which provides stunning aerial views of the magnificent vista is very popular in the national park and the tickets are always sold out several weeks in advance.
February 10, 2018 (Gephardt Daily) - Three people are reported to have died Saturday afternoon when a tour helicopter carrying six people and the pilot crashed near the Grand Canyon.
Papillon, whose website says it is the longest-running helicopter touring company, was founded in 1965 by Elling Halvorson and celebrated its 50th anniversary in 2015.
The Federal Aviation Administration would also be investigating the crash of the Eurocopter EC130, spokesman Allen Kenitzer said. "People died and were horribly injured", he said. "We had to learn how to market Las Vegas", he said. | aerospace |

Our launchers from Pixmore Junior School are travelling to Roysia to carry out the launch. Everything is good to go!
During the flight you can follow Peaky's progress online by visiting www.tinyurl.com/jvaf3ye
This shows Peaky's location precisely on a map with updates every 10 minutes. It doesn't indicate his height. We expect to loose the signal at around 20,000metres up and will only receive it again when Peaky drops below this level.
During the flight we will be able to get data every second via the radio tracker and hopefully also get a broadcast of what Peaky is saying.
The predicted flight paths for Monday 16th and Tuesday 17th Jan show Peaky drifting south. The Civil Aviation Authority requires us only to launch when the balloon will drift to the north or north west. So we have ruled out a launch before Wednesday.
Currently the predicted path for Wednesday 18th is also wrong for launch. However, things can change and we'll make a final decision on whether Wednesday is a possible launch day on Monday.
At least Peaky is going to get a bit more rest time.
Here are the predictions for launching early next week. The red blob is launch site, the green blob is landing location. The CAA will only allow us to launch if the drift is to the North or North West. So as things stand Monday doesn't look likely, Wednesday looks to give us the best chance. Of course everything can change and just because Wednesday looks okay for launch now doesn't mean it will still be on Tuesday morning.
We have to make a decision on launch three days ahead, so will make a final decision on whether we can launch on Monday 16th on Friday 14th. After that we'll make a decision each day on whether we can launch in three days time.
Alma explains how Peaky's system will work to send data back to Earth during the mission.
We're launching Peaky from Roysia Middle School in Royston, Hertfordshire at some point between the 16th January and 16th February.
The question is when! In order to launch the conditions need to be just right.
Here's the list of things we need to consider: | aerospace |

“Fifth generation fighter” is a modern standard marking of military aircraft of the near future. The fifth generation fighter is designed to introduce numerous technological advancements compared to the jet fighters of the fourth generation. The main features of these aircraft include the use of stealth technology, supersonic speed without afterburner, improved performance and manoeuvrability, integrated computer systems and automation control.
1. HAL AMCA – India
Advanced Medium Combat Aircraft (AMCA) is a single twin-engine multi-purpose fighter of the fifth generation developed India. It should complement already standing on the armament of the country of the HAL Tejas, Dry / HAL FGFA, su-30MKI and the Dassault Rafale. “Design work on an advanced medium combat aircraft” was developed by the Organization for defense research and development (DRDO) and it is expected that the first test flight will be conducted in 2018.
2. Shenyang J-31 (F-60) – China
Shenyang J-31, which was nicknamed “Merlin”, is a twin-engine fifth-generation fighter medium size, currently being developed by Shenyang Aircraft Corporation. The fighter is also mentioned under the title F-60 or J-21 Snowy Swl. The aircraft made its first 10-minute flight on 31 October 2012, accompanied by two J-11. Thus, China became the second nation that had conducted simultaneous testing two stealth fighters.
3. HAL Dry PMF / FGFA – India & Russia
“Dry” / “HAL Fifth Generation” (FGFA) is a fifth – generation fighter jointly developed by India and Russia. It is a derivative project from the Russian PAK FA (T-50), which is being developed for the Indian air force. FGFA was the earlier designation for the Indian version of the aircraft, and the combined project is now called Promising multiplayer fighter (PMF). After the completed PMF will include a total of 43 improvements over the T-50, including stealth technology, supersonic cruising flight, advanced sensors, and new computerized combat system. Commissioning is expected in 2022.
4. TAI TFX / FX – Turkey
Turkey, which decided not to settle for the acquisition of foreign military equipment, began to develop its own aircraft. TFX jet fighter of the fifth generation, developed by Turkish Aerospace Industries (TAI). Start of serial production is planned for 2023.
5. Mitsubishi ATD-X (Shinshin) – Japan
Japan is currently developing the concept of the fighter of the 5th generation called ATD-X “Shinshin” that uses advanced stealth technology.

The fifth generation fighter and unmanned aerial vehicles is a real fashion trend in the aviation industry. KF-X is a South Korean program to develop an advanced multipurpose fighter for the air force of the Republic of Korea (ROKAF) and military-air forces of Indonesia (TNI-AU). This is the second program of development of the fighter of South Korea after the FA-50. It should be noted that this project is still very controversial and unknown, will lead Korea in the development of the aircraft at least to the prototype. If the project still continues, then the first flight should take place in 2022-2023.
7. Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning II – USA
Lockheed F-35 Lightning II is an American fighter of the fifth generation, which combines new technologies of stealth with advanced computer technologies. Today we have built about 250 of these machines in three versions (land-based fighter F-35A fighter with short takeoff and vertical landing F-35B and carrier-based fighter F-35C).
8. Dry PAK FA (T-50) – Russia
Promising aviation complex tactical aviation, PAK FA (T-50) is a twin-engine jet fighter developed by Sukhoi for the Russian air force (T-50 is the prototype for PAK FA). This fifth-generation fighter should be the successor to the MiG-29 and su-27 in service with the Russian army, and also serves as a basis for joint development with India of a Dry / HAL FGFA with India. The prototype T-50 performed its first flight 29 January 2010.
9. Chengdu J-20 (Black eagle) – China
Single multi-purpose twin-engine fighter Chengdu J-20 Black eagle is the Aviation industrial Corporation in the Chinese city of Chengdu.

10. Lockheed Martin F-22 Raptor – USA
The world’s first fifth generation fighter. Lockheed Martin F-22 Raptor is a single twin-engine super-maneuverable fighter aircraft that uses stealth technology. It was designed primarily as a fighter providing air superiority, but also has additional capabilities (attack ground targets, electronic warfare and intelligence operations). Just from 1997 to 2011 were produced 195 such aircraft (production was then halted because of the emphasis on the development of the program of the F-35).

This article will delve into two exciting developments in the field: the upcoming launch of the Orbit iQOO 9 Pro in February and the recent achievement by the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) with its inaugural mission, Aditya L1. Both of these events represent significant advancements in our exploration of space and promise to contribute to our ever-growing knowledge of the cosmos. Join us as we delve into the latest developments in the captivating world of space exploration.
Aditya-L1 Finds Its Final Orbit
The Aditya-L1 spacecraft has successfully reached its final orbit around the Lagrange L1 point, marking a significant achievement for scientists. Equipped with seven payloads, this spacecraft now allows for uninterrupted observation of the Sun, providing real-time insights into solar activities and their impact on space weather. The primary objectives of the Aditya L1 mission are to study the physics of the solar Corona, analyze its heating mechanisms, investigate the acceleration of the Solar wind, and measure the overall energy of the Solar atmosphere. By delving into these aspects, scientists hope to gain a deeper understanding of the Sun and its influence on our solar system.
Benefits of the Halo Orbit
The Aditya-L1 spacecraft, chosen by ISRO, will be placed in a halo orbit, ensuring a mission lifespan of five years. This orbit offers numerous advantages, such as minimizing the need for station-keeping operations, reducing fuel consumption, and providing an unobstructed view of the Sun. On Saturday at 4 PM, ISRO confirmed the successful Halo Orbit Insertion of the Aditya-L1 solar observatory spacecraft. This accomplishment was made possible through a brief firing of control engines during the final phase of the manoeuvres. S Somanth, the chairman of ISRO, expressed satisfaction with the accurate placement of Aditya L1 in the halo orbit and mentioned the need for minor corrections to maintain the satellite’s orientation. A critical velocity adjustment of 31 meters per second is scheduled for the same day.

NASA-Ames Research Center, Moffett Field, CA 94035-1000, USA.
Researchers in space life sciences are rapidly approaching a technology impasse. Many of the critical questions on the impact of spaceflight on living systems simply cannot be answered with the limited available technologies. Research subjects, particularly small animal models like the rat, must be allowed to function relatively untended and unrestrained for long periods to fully reflect the impact of microgravity and spaceflight on their behavior and physiology. These requirements preclude the use of present hard-wired instrumentation techniques and limited data acquisition systems. Implantable sensors and miniaturized biotelemetry are the only means of capturing the fundamental and critical data. This same biosensor and biotelemetry technology has direct application to Earth-based medicine and surgery. Continuous, on-line data acquisition and improved measurement capabilities combined with the ease and flexibility offered by automated, wireless, and portable instruments and data systems, should provide a boon to the health care industry. Playing a key role in this technology revolution is the Sensors 2000! (S2K!) Program at NASA Ames Research Center. S2K!, in collaboration with space life sciences researchers and managers, provides an integrated capability for sensor technology development and applications, including advanced biosensor technology development, spaceflight hardware development, and technology transfer and commercialization."
Now think again about what he said about the collaboration: "We believe that Nanogen possesses a unique technology capable of facilitating our efforts in two main areas: the analysis of certain SNPs and STRs to monitor the health and well-being of astronauts and other NASA personnel; and the functionalization of carbon nanotubes for biosensor applications." | aerospace |

The first grader has always loved planes, his father told Khaleej Times, and so when the family was on a recent flight from the UAE to Morocco, it's no surprise that the boy headed to the cockpit to show off his knowledge.
After the plane landed in Morocco, Adam joined Captain Samer Yakhlef, and the captain filmed their encounter.
"Some planes have a Ram air turbine. It gets emergency systems back on if the engines fail. The Ram [air] turbine can help to bring back the systems," he explained to the pilot in a video that was posted to YouTube. "But due to the no-engine power, the landing gear doors will not come up. After that you have to do something else to lower the flaps. You have to drop the gear by gravity alone."
The pilot was so impressed with Adam's knowledge that Etihad Airlines extended an invitation to the young boy to visit their Abu Dhabi training center and test out the flight simulator.
During his day with Etihad, he expertly explained some of the aircraft's technical functionality, and even got fitted for a mini pilot uniform.
Adam spoke to Khaleej Times about his future career: "When I become a captain, my English teacher will be my passenger and I'll take her to London, Heathrow," he said. "I want to travel to America, the North Pole, the South Pole and all the seven skies."
Watch his visit with Etihad right here to see this mini pilot-in-training!

Can 5G bridge the digital divide? Congress, experts divided on impact of next-generation wireless
Closing the broadband gap has proved tricky because private internet providers often don’t have financial incentives to build broadband infrastructure over long distances in sparsely populated areas. Some technologists believe the super-fast next generation of wireless technology, 5G, could provide a solution. But there are many skeptics who worry that the same business model issues will leave rural America out, possibly widening the digital divide.
Huawei is secretly helping build North Korea’s wireless network, report says
The allegations in the Washington Post report stem from a number of internal documents the Post said it sourced from a handful of former Huawei employees. These documents consist of work orders, contracts, and detailed spreadsheets that track the company’s worldwide telecommunications operations. According to the report, Huawei worked with Panda International Information Technology Co. Ltd., a Chinese state-owned company, on a number of projects over the course of at least eight years. It was this arrangement with Panda that reportedly made Huawei’s involvement harder to track.

Our aviation law expert Jim Morris has an exceptional level of experience that includes accidents involving oil rig helicopters, police helicopters, training helicopters and mid-air collisions involving helicopters.
For helicopter crashes in the UK and abroad, the professional aviation expertise of Nexa Law is utilised to independently assess the accident and identify credible theories on causation, so that the best cause of action and litigation strategy can be pursued for the victims and families. A good example of this unique expertise is a Schweizer helicopter accident in the UK where the Air Accident Investigation Branch (AAIB) was unable to identify the exact cause of the fatal crash. At the inquest, Jim Morris used his legal and aviation experience to question the AAIB and other aviation experts which revealed evidence on which the jury found that the cause of the helicopter accident was loss of useful engine power, not pilot error. The evidence and verdict enabled the case to be litigated in the US against the aircraft and engine manufacturer on behalf of the families of the instructor and student pilot.
A further complication can occur when a helicopter is not fitted with a Flight Data Recorder (FDR) and Cockpit Voice Recorder (CVR) “black box” equipment. Although large helicopters are fitted with this equipment, a significant number of smaller commercial passenger carrying helicopters are not required to carry this important equipment. This means that crucial real time evidence on the systems and pilot actions during the accident sequence are not available to the accident investigators, therefore identifying the cause(s) of the accident is much more difficult, and potentially making it take much longer to complete the investigation. An example of such a difficulty is the Police Helicopter crash onto the Clutha pub in Glasgow on 29 November 2013, where Jim Morris represented ground victims injured and families who lost loved ones. Although the accident involved a modern twin engine Eurocopter EC135 helicopter, under the applicable rules, the helicopter was below the weight above which helicopters are required to be fitted with black box equipment. This meant that in the months that followed, the preliminary reports from the Air Accident Investigation Branch (AAIB) identified that both engines lost power due to fuel starvation but they could not determine at an early stage the full chain of events that caused the fuel starvation. The final accident report was not published until 23 October 2015 and due to the limited evidence available, it was still not possible for the investigators to determine why both fuel transfer pumps in the main tank remained off during the latter part of the flight, why the helicopter did not land within the time specified following activation of the low fuel warnings and why a MAYDAY call was not received from the pilot.

The development of the South West’s first Space Engineering Technician apprenticeship was announced this month at a special event attended by dignitaries and VIPs at Truro College.
The ground-breaking apprenticeship was revealed at the launch of Truro and Penwith College’s Cornwall Space and Aerospace Technology Training (CSATT), which is being delivered through the ESF part-funded SS HLS project.
CSATT is developing the apprenticeship along with new short courses that will boost Cornwall’s £1 billion Space and Aerospace sector.
Cherilyn Mackrory MP and Mayor of Truro Steven Webb joined staff and 60 employers from across Cornwall to tour Truro College’s brand-new £7 million South West Institute of Technology engineering and technology centre, ‘Valency’, over two socially distanced engagement sessions.
Truro and Penwith College aims to be the second provider in the UK to offer the new university level apprenticeship at level 4, with potential for learners to study additional qualifications that will take their training up to a level 5 HNC in Space Engineering.
With sufficient demand from employers, the first apprentices could start in September 2022 and will be involved in the design and production of satellites, components and subsystems along with the production, operation and maintenance of highly specialised ground support equipment that is used to develop and test satellites before launch.
Training development is supported by sector experts Goonhilly Earth Station, Spaceport Cornwall and Aerospace Cornwall, with further support from the University of Exeter, University of Leicester, and the Open University.
Heidi Thiemann, CSATT Project Manager at Truro and Penwith College, commented: “The apprenticeship and short courses are the first of many innovative space and aerospace training projects we are going to announce over the coming months and years.
“The Cornish space economy is growing rapidly and we need people with the right skills to maintain that growth. Through CSATT, we’re going to provide that world-class space training to ensure that businesses and individuals are supported and given exciting career opportunities”.
The £7million Valency building recently opened at Truro College as part of the College’s partnership in the South West Institute of Technology, a government-led project to equip the British workforce with skills required across key sectors and is a state-of-the-art engineering and technology hub.
Martin Tucker, Principal at Truro and Penwith College said: “This is an exciting project that will help ensure the College has the level of industry engagement to underpin our £12 million investment in two new state of the art technology buildings and associated resources at Truro and, opening in April 2022, at Bodmin. These facilities will fully support learners with the training and experience required to develop the necessary skills for Cornwall’s workforce, ensuring the success of the Space and Aerospace industry”.

Photography Satellite Disappears After
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LOS ANGELES --
A civilian satellite that can take highly detailed photographs disappeared
shortly after liftoff Tuesday.
An Athena 2 rocket carrying the Ikonos 1 satellite took off from a launching
pad at Vandenberg Air Force Base at 11:22 A.M., bound for an orbit 400 miles
Communications with the spacecraft ended about eight minutes after liftoff,
as planned, but it failed to re-establish contact as expected later in the
Officials could not say whether it remained in orbit but said that Federal
agencies that tracked orbiting objects should be able to answer the
question in a few days.
The satellite is the second such American commercial satellite to fail right
after launching, though officials of the company that commissioned it.
Space Imaging, a privately held Denver company that was going to operate the
satellite, held out a slim hope that communications might be established
with the craft.
The satellite was built by Lockheed Martin Commercial Space Systems. The
Raytheon Company built the communications, image processing and other
elements of the system. Eastman Kodak built the digital camera system.
John Copple, chief executive officer of Space Imaging, would not release its
cost, but said it was insured.
Space Imaging has already built a spare satellite.
The camera of Ikonos 1, whose namemeans image in Greek, is able to capture
objects of about 10 square feet. That means the satellite would be able to
distinguish between a car and truck, officials at Space Imaging said.
Until now, only military satellites have been able to photograph Earth in
Some experts said they worried that images from Ikonos 1 could be used by
terrorists or foreign governments to plan attacks or spot troop mobilizations.
The Federal Government approved the satellite in 1994. Space Imaging said it
expected its clients to use the images for urban planning, oil and gas
exploration, mapping, monitoring natural disasters, the environment and
farmland and planning communication networks.
John Pike, an authority on space reconnaissance with the private Federation
of American Scientists in Washington, pointed out that the Government would
not allow images of some places to be sold.

Friday 22, July 2011
Finnair will fly the world’s longest commercial flight to date using biofuel. In the next few weeks, Finnair will fly a series of four flights using biofuel in both engines of its aircraft.
For Finnair, it is important to find an ecologically, financially and socially sustainable fuel solution and this is one step towards more sustainable flying. Biofuels are constantly being improved in all of the above-mentioned areas of sustainability, and current investments are playing an important role in development work.
"Biofuel use is still not financially sustainable, because biofuel is more expensive than ordinary aviation fuel and no large-scale production or distribution has yet been established. Finnair, moreover, does not receive any kind of financial support to use biofuel, unlike some other airlines," says Finnair’s Vice President Sustainable Development Kati Ihamäki.
Most of the environmental impact of flying arises from engine emissions, so investment on research into alternative fuels is a natural way to seek to reduce environmental loading. The term biofuel means a fuel made from a renewable, organic raw material. The plants used in its manufacture bind carbon dioxide, which is released back into the atmosphere when the biofuel is burned.
In its first biofuel flights, Finnair is using in both engines of its aircraft SkyNRG biofuel manufactured from recycled biomass. The fuel mixture used is half biofuel and half ordinary aviation fuel. The SkyNRG biofuel used by Finnair is manufactured from cooking oil recycled from restaurants.
SkyNRG biofuel has been exhaustively researched and it fulfils all of the quality and safety requirements set for jet fuel. The fuel mixture used is certified in the same class as ordinary aviation fuel.
Finnair’s first biofuel flight, AY846 from Amsterdam to Helsinki, departs from Amsterdam at 18:50 local time and arrives in Helsinki at 22:10. The flight will be operated with an Airbus A319 aircraft.
"Our sector’s goal is to find sustainable biofuel solutions so we do not compete with food, land nor water and these Finnair flights are a step in that direction," said Andrea Debbane, Airbus head of Environmental Affairs. "Airbus is at the forefront in helping to speed up the commercialisation of biofuels for aviation and these latest passenger flights are proof that we have already come a long way."
More and more travellers think that researching and planning a European city break is half the fun and they're not interested in pre-arranged trips or escorted tours. Self-guided tours offer a lot of advantages but require some guidance and good resources.
With the recent wild fires, disrupting flights and increasing air pollution, environmental quality is a growing factor in attracting tourists.

But, while high-overhead satellites are expanding the reach to the universe, they have also played a vital role in other parts of people’s daily lives – those that are generally not linked to satellites.
One of the most notable benefits of satellite internet for businesses is the potential to deliver a network anywhere in the world at speeds of many megabits over vast distances such as oceans and continents, which are reached conveniently and efficiently by a single satellite. The construction of terrestrial internet access is a significant time and financial investment, as fiber deployment will take several months and costs between $10,000 and $100,000 per mile of fiber. As a result, since satellite internet does not require a complex infrastructure to operate, businesses will save money on installation and land access.
On the other hand, SpaceX, OneWeb, Telesat, and Amazon are also going forward with proposals to use low-Earth orbit (LEO) satellites to provide low-latency high-speed broadband around the world. This year, SpaceX and OneWeb will complete their constellations with hundreds of thousands of spacecrafts, while Telesat and Amazon expect to launch their first spacecraft in the next two to three years. SpaceX Starship concept is a planned entirely reusable, two-stage ultra heavy-lift launching vehicle developed by SpaceX. The machine consists of a booster stage, called Super Heavy, and a second stage often referred to as “Starship.”
The second stage is planned as a long-term cargo, and eventually, a passenger-carrying spacecraft. The spacecraft will act as both the second stage and the long-term orbiting starship in space. Satellite operators are showing more interest in Equinix than in previous years, owing to the advent of newer LEO networks.
According to Poole, the average port speed sought by LEO broadband providers seeking to interconnect is usually a multiple of 10G. Elon Musk, SpaceX’s founder and CEO, has indicated a need for Starlink to integrate into data centers and interconnect points for high-speed, low-latency networks to enable online gaming and other services. The company’s Starlink low Earth orbit (LEO) satellite broadband service is winning ardent fans of over 10,000 users in its “Better than Nothing” beta. Of the four big LEO broadband networks, Starlink is the most advanced. | aerospace |
