Dr. Valentin Soloiu
Aircraft are one of the most used alternatives of traveling long distances and making them safer is a global necessity. For this reason, being able to create a functional prototype where the aircraft would be capable to acquire and process information in real time from the environment generating wingtip collision detection and simulation of a collection of exteroceptive sensors is necessary in progressing air flight safety systems. The aim of this project is to design and build, an electronic aircraft undercarriage composed with multiple exteroceptive sensors that will be able to determine and process digital information of the aircraft envelope, and give an analytical output represented in different visuals and active commands, in order to avoid obstacles for the aircraft. This will be achieved by the new concept of Wingtip Collision Detection developed in this thesis.

Washington – Sen. Harry Reid (D-NV) recently warned Republicans and Democrats that if issues with the Federal Aviation Administration Air Transportation Modernization and Safety Improvement Act (S. 223) were not resolved by Feb. 14, he would file cloture on the bill, forcing it to come up for a vote.
The bill, introduced Jan. 27 by Sen. Jay Rockefeller (D-WV), is under consideration on the Senate floor. Among the amendments is a proposed requirement that the FAA Administrator initiate a new rulemaking proceeding regarding flight time limitations and rest requirements for pilots.
Members of the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee also convened a hearing Feb. 8-9 to discuss the FAA reauthorization bill, which is set to expire March 31. The last four-year reauthorization bill was enacted in 2003 and covered fiscal years 2004-2007.
Since Sept. 30, 2007, FAA has operated on a series of short-term extensions. In addition to funding for airport personnel salaries and facilities, reauthorization of the bill would fund the Next Generation Air Transportation System. | aerospace |

It drew a lot of negative comments from people who has completely no idea about cabin crew training nor about safety drills. As far as we know, raw footage of training videos are not supposed to be uploaded in public pages for security reasons unless supervised by the airline but anyway, we are here to answer why flight attendants raising their voices during emergency situations is NOT overacting, but a standard practice among all airlines.
Behind all the glitz and glamour others see, a flight attendants job entails a lot of sacrifice and commitment. As safety professionals in the sky, their job entails flying their passengers from point A to point B safely in one piece. Yes travelling the world and being paid to travel is simply a benefit of the job, just like other jobs with high salaries. Behind all those benefits flight attendants receive is a job and lifestyle where even their own lives hang on the balance.
As we celebrate World Cabin Crew Day, we give you some facts which are unknown to many but we feel they have to be informed about these. A certain cabin crew named Shafid Shah posted this on his Instagram and we feel that all these are so spot on! So we now give you some unknown facts about your flight attendants as written by Shafid Shah (Instagram account @iamshafied).
Today is a special day for the reason why we exist, our cabin crew! Today, May 31, the world celebrates International Cabin Crew Day or World Flight Attendants Day! So of you are taking a flight today, please do greet your flight attendant a Happy Flight Attendant Day! This will make them happy as you recognize them for their efforts and dedication to ensure your safety when you fly.

Every flight attendant out there will tell you that their journey in earning their wings was never an easy one, in fact, some would describe it as going through a needle hole. Those who say that it is easy to become a flight attendant never experienced becoming one. It's just like taking driving lessons from someone who doesn't know how to drive. Airlines do have very high expectations from their flight attendants that there is no such thing as lowering their standards.
We have been attending cabin crew training, enjoying conversations with numerous flight attendants, and talking to cabin crew trainers and airline management about the job of being a cabin crew. We don't just research on Google and come up with our own conclusions, we really go to the source in order to provide you the most accurate information as much as possible, especially when it comes to educating people about cabin crew members.
During the past weeks and months, different flight attendants have been making the news for going the "extra mile" to serve and help the passengers. Just recently, a Philippine Airlines flight attendant named Gold Pareno became viral after she and another flight attendant named Danica Panganiban assisted a passenger give birth on board a flight from Dammam to Manila.

An iceberg in the middle of an ocean may just look like a piece of ice. It is small and its size above the water is nothing compared to the size of a whole ship. Guess what, despite their size, ships do everything to get far from the floating piece of ice which is not even bigger than half of the ship. because in 1912, that small piece of ice brought down a whole ship, the RMS Titanic.
Jollibee is known for releasing viral short films about love, family, and acceptance as their content marketing strategy. One of these is a viral video entitled "Fight or Flight", basically a love story between a flight attendant and a passenger. The short film has gained 2.5 million views in just two weeks due to the love story involved in the scene that got many viewers "kilig", even flight attendants themselves.
When flight attendants say that they are tired and they would rather sleep, believe us, they mean it. Yes we do understand that all jobs are tiring at one point but that of a flight attendant is more than just being tired no matter how glamorous things may seem. It can be tiring both physically and emotionally and this is something we should understand why they say it is a sin to disrupt a flight attendant's sleep after a day's flying duty.
Let us start this article by stating Philippine Republic Act No. 9497, Chapter XI Sec. 81 clause 9 which says “Any person who, while on board an aircraft, interferes with a crewmember’s or flight attendant’s performance of their duties, assaults, intimidates, or threatens any crewmember or flight attendant, shall be subjected to imprisonment from one (1) year to three (3) years or a fine of not less than Fifty thousand pesos (Php50,000.00) but not exceeding Five hundred thousand pesos (Php500,000.00), or both, as determined by the court;”
And why you have no right to stop or scold them for doing so, regardless if you are a frequent flyer or not.
The emergency exit door of every aircraft is a major and essential safety feature of an aircraft. It allows quicker evacuation incase of an unfortunate incident like a crash landing or fire on board. These emergency exit doors are located between the main doors of an aircraft, and during an immediate emergency evacuation, passengers seated beside them should be able to quickly open them right away.
Just because a flight attendant also ensures the comfort and good flying experience of passengers, it does not mean that they are supposed to follow each and every thing a passenger requests or asks for. It may mean comfort to the passenger but it may become a safety or security concern for the airline. Also, flight attendants are required to maintain a certain level of professionalism. Here are 2o things flight attendants are not obligated to do or even not allowed to do.
Many dream to be a Philippine Airlines flight attendant. We have asked quite a number of aspiring cabin crew what their first airline choice is and most said "Philippine Airlines". Reasons behind why being a PAL flight attendant is one of the most coveted jobs in the country are it's destination/network, being based in the Philippines, the prestige of flying the country's premier flag carrier, and of course, the benefits.
Just yesterday October 1, 2018, the world's only airline safety rating agency Airlineratings.com gave a 7-star rating to both Philippine Airlines and Cebu Pacific. This mean both airlines do practice safety standards to the highest level as being rated 7-star is the highest rating given by the agency. This also means that they passed the IOSA and ICAO audits, they never had a fatality during the last 10 years, they are not blacklisted by the EU, and they are recognized by the FAA.
Yes flight attendants are very open minded people. They see the world in a different perspective and there is simply so much we can learn from them about life. However, them being open minded doesn't necessarily equate to them accepting all types of "business proposals" or "business opportunity meetings". It simply means that being around with flight attendants may open your mind to new learnings.
Registered nurses are not only meant to work in hospitals and clinics, they are made to fly also! We are talking about flight attendants who are registered nurses or RNs! Looking at the profile of Filipino flight attendants around the world, many of them are actually RNs, and airlines do actually see them as huge assets! This is why when someone would ask us "can nurses be flight attendants", all we tell them is 101% a resounding yes!
Despite that many airlines accept individuals with at least 2 years in college to be cabin crew, there are plenty of highly educated flight attendants out there who have more than just graduated from college. They are degree holders and some are even national board passers like RNs or registered nurses! Some of them are even studying to take a Masters degree like an MBA while flying! Despite their educational attainment, why did they become cabin crew and not apply as a manager or Vice-President in a huge corporation?
Passenger safety is top priority inside an aircraft, and flight attendants are instructed by the airlines and international safety standard boards to carry out procedures to ensure the safety and security of passengers, whether we like it or not. Sad to say, some passengers do not see it this way. Some even scold flight attendants for carrying out these safety procedures and instructions, as though it is against their will to follow them.
Why Flight Attendants Check Your Boarding Pass And Why You Have No Right to Get Mad at Them for Doing So
Okay, so another issue was raised, and this is the issue of some passengers scolding flight attendants for merely asking them to present their boarding pass for checking. What??? Yes, some passengers would scold flight attendants when they are asked to present their boarding pass for checking. What again??? We actually wonder why they get mad when it is an airline standard procedure for valid reasons.
A typical airline passenger would see a flight attendant greet them, check if seatbelts are fastened, window shades are up, tray tables are stowed, seats are in upright position, serve meals, attend to other passenger needs, make landing checks, and carry out landing safety procedures. For some people alone, seeing this scene alone makes them claim that flight attendants are "just waiters in the sky". This is 100% absolutely wrong to be straightforward about it.
It is indeed one of the most coveted jobs in the world. During open days, thousands of aspiring cabin crew lines up regardless of the weather conditions in a quest to realize their dreams to be a flight attendant one day. This goes the same for Delta in the USA! Just recently, they announced that they will be hiring a thousand cabin crew this 2019 and many are surely excited for this.
Last August 1, news broke out that an Aeromexico Connect Embraer E-190 jet taking off from Durango heading to Mexico City, crashed during take-off. Luckily, all 99 passengers and 4 crew members survived the crash. The aircraft went up in flames and all passengers were evacuated immediately within less than 2 minutes! Yes, that's 99 passengers out a burning aircraft in less than 2 minutes!
Proof that Flight Attendants Are Not Obligated to Lift Passenger Luggage Unto the Overhead Stowage Bins Part II
First and foremost, it is not part of the duty of cabin crew members to lift passenger luggage unto the overhead compartments. They may however lend assistance to passengers with physical hindrances like PWDs, pregnant women, elderlies, or anyone with any physical hindrance in stowing their carry-on bags unto the overhead compartments. Some may still not be aware of this so to back up our statements, we decided to directly ask airlines if their cabin crew members are obligated to lift passenger carry-ons into the OSBs. Here are their answers:
Written by Mond Ortiz
Many people still tends to make judgement based on what they only see with their naked eyes. Since they most of the time only see flight attendants serving food, welcoming passengers, doing safety demos, and attending to passenger needs on board, they get this quick conceived notion that cabin crew members are "flying waiters/waitresses" and "glorified maids". The only time the same passengers would realize the real worth of a flight attendant, sadly, are during accidents and an emergency situation, basically, situations where human lives are at risk. | aerospace |

As 14 countries continue the hunt, new questions are being asked
After a week of false leads, U-turns, wild speculation and outright contradictions, it was hard to believe there could be any more surprises in the hunt for the missing Malaysia Airlines flight.
But when Malaysia's prime minister, Najib Razak, finally appeared before the media on Saturday afternoon – almost 45 minutes later than scheduled and for the first time since flight MH370 went missing seven days before – his words were startling.
Not only did investigators believe the plane had been deliberately diverted after its communication systems were switched off, but they believed it had been sending signals to satellites from air or ground as late as 8.11am on Saturday morning, more than six-and-a-half hours after it had lost contact with air control staff and 45 minutes after the Boeing 777 had been declared missing in a statement from the airline.
That final ping came from one of two lengthy air corridors stretching as far as Kazakhstan to the north or the southern Indian Ocean – around western Australia – to the south; by that point, if still in the air, the plane would probably have been almost out of fuel. The initial search area in the South China Sea was no longer relevant, but an even vaster swath of land and sea was now in play. | aerospace |

The US EP-3 Aries was conducting routine operations when it took off from Souda Bay, Greece. The Russian jet came within about 20 feet of the US aircraft, one official said, adding that the encounter lasted about nine minutes.That intercept was described by officials as safe but unprofessional, though a US Navy official told CNN that the Navy does not officially classify aerial encounters that way.
A Navy EP-3 surveillance aircraft was operating over global airspace when the Russian Su-27 flew at high speed directly in front of it, "which put our pilots and crew at risk", according to a Naval Forces Europe-Africa statement.
In a statement, the U.S. Navy said their plane had to apply its afterburner after the first pass and faced turbulence and vibrations.
"While the Russian military is within its right to exercise within global airspace, this interaction was irresponsible", the Navy said in a statement.
It's unclear how close the aircraft came to hitting each other or whether the Russian fighter was armed.
The Russian Embassy in the U.S. posted a brief statement on Twitter denying any fault.
"The U.S. aircraft was operating in accordance with global law and did not provoke this Russian activity", the statement reads.
The Russian Ministry of Defense press service said that the U.S. intelligence aircraft had been detected and immediately picked up by a Su-27 fighter that identified and escorted it to avoid a violation of Russia's airspace boundary.

From the instructions.
The Daimler-Benz DB.021 turboprop engines driving six-bladed propellers were designed by the end of World War II.
The main advantage of such a type was the small fuel consumption (compared to the turbojet engines of that time), hence the bigger flying endurance.
The ME. 262 project powered with the DB. 021 engines dates to February 1945.
The same power unit was also to be installed on the Arado Ar. 234 bomber (project 1944).
A lot more types could be fitted with the engine had the war lasted longer. | aerospace |

Montclair, N.J. After graduating from West Point (1951), Aldrin joined the U.S. air force and flew 66 combat missions during the Korean War. His doctoral thesis at the Massachusetts Inst. of Technology (1963) on orbital mechanics laid the foundation for flight techniques employed later in the lunar landing program. In 1966 he was selected as an astronaut by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). Aldrin was the prime pilot of Gemini 12 (Nov. 11?15, 1966), a 59-revolution flight that brought the Gemini space program to a successful close; his 5-hour space walk established a record for extravehicular activity at that time and proved that a person could function in the weightless vacuum of space. As the lunar module pilot of Apollo 11 (July 16?24, 1969) Aldrin made the first lunar landing with Neil Armstrong, and on July 20 (EDST) became the second person (after Armstrong) to walk on the moon. After retiring from NASA, Aldrin served (1971?72) as commandant of the Aerospace Research Pilots' School at Edwards Air Force Base, Calif. He retired from the Air Force in 1972 to enter private business and to lecture and consult on space exploration.

This is the first time the new aircraft will be available to Australian passengers travelling with Vietnam Airlines.
The new aircraft implementation comes as the increase in demand for flights on the Melbourne to Ho Chi Minh City route has spiked in recent months. The Airbus A350 allows an extra 10% customer capacity than the long-standing Boeing 787.
Similarities are seen between the aircrafts, both being long range, wide-bodied and featuring a twin-engine, with the largest change between the planes being the increase in passenger accommodation, with the Airbus A350 allowing for an additional 29 passengers each way.
“It is great to see an increase in demand from our Australian travellers and Vietnam Airlines is delighted to announce the upgrade to some of the current fleet to the new Airbus,” said Vietnam Airlines General Manager – Australia, Hung Truong.
The new A350s also offer more legroom and increased passenger mobility, with Premium Economy on the Airbus featuring near-flat reclining seats, a bountiful 38 in (96.5cm) pitch and recline up to 8 in (20cm). Passengers will be able to enjoy the latest in entertainment on 10.6 in (27cm) private screens. | aerospace |

Vice Chief of Space Operations Gen. David D. Thompson and CU President Todd Saliman signed the memorandum on campus on Aug. 20.
The UPP outlines four main goals to establish Space Force research, education, mentorship and recruitment opportunities at partner universities. The partnership aims to further develop engineering and ROTC programs at UCCS and bring more technical specialization to Colorado Springs.
“The United States Space Force University Partnership Program has the potential to create significant impact on our campus by expanding our ROTC program, enabling new engineering degrees, expanding undergraduate and graduate research, bringing forward new scholarships in key technical areas, and reinforcing our efforts to broaden opportunities for our students and our graduates,” Chancellor Venkat Reddy wrote via email.
According to Assistant Dean of Engineering and Applied Science Michael Corl, planning for the UPP had been initiated by Dean Don Rabern before Corl joined UCCS in Fall 2020.
Corl highlighted key areas in which the UPP will impact UCCS. “They [Space Force] are looking at three different things: technical education, so academic programs; workforce development, so internships and scholarships fall into that; and research.”
The Space Force partnership largely aligns with preexisting plans to expand technical programming at UCCS, according to Corl.
“We have the aerospace degree coming, which would have come either way, but it was incidental that it happened at the same time. The aerospace degree is supposed to come online in Fall 2022, both under bachelor’s and master’s,” Corl said.
“Then we’re looking at some graduate programs, specifically for workforce development for Space Force,” he said. “It wouldn’t be all just aerospace, it might have a little bit of aerospace, little bit of cyber, little bit of electrical and computer engineering, just to give [Space Force] what they need.”
For example, satellite cybersecurity is a priority for Space Force, including electrical and computer engineering components, according to Corl. “They might not need an officer who only knows aero, they might want someone who’s a little more well-rounded. Certainly, at the senior levels they want someone who can have conversations about multiple things.”
Corl clarified, “There’s a little bit of creating those programs for them but it’s not like we’re going that far out of the way. … If there’s a specific thing that they’re looking for, we would say, hey, in order to develop that, there’s some funding attached there. Those are things that are a little further down the road.”
On the research end, Corl explained that Space Force Chief Scientist Joel Mozer has met with department chairs to discuss Space Force research goals and faculty research goals. However, the rest of the CU system’s involvement in the UPP allows for the delegation of different emphases to each campus.
“We get the big R1 research university up at Boulder, while here I’d say we’re more student-focused,” Corl said. “Everyone’s going to do all the parts, but they’re going to do a lot more research and probably a lot less of the workforce development piece.”
ROTC students in particular will see benefits from UCCS’ place in the UPP, according to Corl. “We’re looking at hopefully expanding the Air Force ROTC here, again with the Space Force emphasis, so they could send their students here and get this technical education from us and then go and work for the Space Force,” he said.
“The Space Force, as a new organization, is looking to build both their officer core and their civilians. They’ll have maybe more civilians than they do Guardians, the military folks. That’s something where someone might come through in their third or fourth year, maybe do an internship and be recognized and eventually get hired into that kind of service,” he said.
Corl added that other students will also have access to a greater variety of technical education options and more technical internships, such as with defense contractors, because of UCCS’ partnership with Space Force.
“Again, our goal here is to develop this workforce for the region with academic programs, internships and career prep type of stuff. Certainly, the folks that are going to Space Force will benefit from all that, but I think it’ll certainly help the other students as well,” he said.
As UCCS programs expand, Space Force’s presence is also expanding in Colorado Springs. Peterson, formerly known as Peterson Air Force Base, is now a Space Force base. U.S. Space Command is currently located in the Springs, and six of their Mission Delta programs are based here.
“Timing-wise this is great, Space Force is here, there’s a lot of momentum there. We have the Cyber Center building, where construction started recently.” Corl said.
“Being recognized as one of these ten institutions nationwide is pretty big for us,” he said. “I think we’re very regional right now, this could help extend that a little bit further.” | aerospace |

The companies say that these enhancements follow extensive customer trials of the pre-production system across Europe and North America over the spring and summer.
The AUDS system, developed by Blighter Surveillance Systems, Chess Dynamics, and Enterprise Control Systems, is designed to combat the growing threat of malicious micro, mini, and larger unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) or drones. The system can detect a drone five miles away using electronic scanning radar, track it using infrared and daylight cameras, and specialist software before disrupting the flight using an inhibitor to block the radio signals that controlit.
Graham Beall, managing director at Chess Dynamics, said: “Countering drones is now a global issue and an increasing concern for the military, government and homeland security forces across every continent. It’s expected that unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) will be used increasingly for malicious purposes as they can carry cameras, weapons, toxic chemicals and explosives and are being used increasingly for terrorism, espionage and smugglingpurposes.
“Our system has been developed to address this urgent operational requirement and has been successful in government sponsored counter-UAV trials, detecting and disrupting a variety of fixed and rotary wing drones in under fifteen seconds. The new capabilities further enhance the system’s suitability for countering rogue or malicious unmanned aircraft systems(C-UAS).”
Enterprise Control Systems says that according to the AUDS team, the speed with which new features have been added to the system since the launch in May, demonstrates both the agility and flexibility of the three companies. The quad band inhibitor enables the AUDS operator to disrupt the different licensed telemetry bands of commercial drones no matter where in the world they are designed and licensed foruse.Forexample,boththe433and915MHzfrequenciescommonlyusedbyunmannedaircraft systems (UAS) can be disrupted as can the 2.4 GHz control band and the global satellite (GNSS) bands.
The new optical disruptor is another tool available to the AUDS operator. This feature can be utilized for both pointing at a drone for identification purposes and disrupting the automatic gain control settings in the drone’s camera system such that the operator loses visibility. The optical disruptor can also provide a very precise identification of known UAV launch activity to any ground forces.
Commenting on the new features, Colin Bullock, CEO of Enterprise Control Systems, said: “Carefully controlled disruption of these command links —and the use of the optical disruptor — significantly impairs the operator’s ability to control the drone and forms a key part of the spectrum of techniques used by the AUDS system to mitigate the malicious use ofdrones.”
Other improvements in the production version of the AUDS system include a new positioner for the camera. And, following a whole series of trials in a variety of different terrains, the team has modularized the system to reduce the single lift weight down to 25kg. All the different elements —radar, cameras, and RF inhibitor —now clip together to form a completesystem.
Mark Radford, CEO of Blighter Surveillance Systems, added: “We have so far carried out over 150 hours of live testing in government organized trials operating against more than 200 flown sorties of group 1 UAVs. Feedback from our own team and from customers was for a greater level of modularity to speed deployment and to minimize the need for multi person set-up teams. This has now been implemented in the production version – yet another example of our team’s fleet footedness.”
The three companies say that the AUDS integrates the Blighter A400 Series Ku band electronic scanning air security radar, Chess Dynamics’ stabilized electro-optic director, infrared, and daylight cameras and target tracking software, and a directional radio frequency (RF) inhibitor from Enterprise Control Systems to detect, track, classify, disrupt, and neutralize UAVs at ranges of up to 8km. The AUDS system is even effective against so-called Group 1 micro UAVs at ranges of up to 2km and Group 1 mini UAVs at ranges of severalkms.
The AUDS system is designed for countering drones or remotely piloted aircraft systems (RPAS) in remote border sites or urban areas. It can be operated from fixed locations and from mobile platforms. It has been developed and manufactured in the United Kingdom using British technology, and a production version is available now at COTS prices starting at less than £800k. | aerospace |

Teams from Boeing and United Launch Alliance (ULA) have begun assembly of necessary support structures around the spacecraft to access the vehicle’s Service Module.
Boeing engineers are progressing a systematic inspection and troubleshooting plan to determine the cause of the unexpected valve position indications in the Service Module’s propulsion system, which led to the scrub of Tuesday’s launch.
One of the first steps will be to power on the spacecraft, a process that takes several hours. This step will enable the team to send commands to the Starliner and receive data real-time.
“We’re letting the data drive our decision-making and we will not fly until our integrated teams are comfortable and confident,” said John Vollmer, vice president and program manager, Boeing’s Commercial Crew Program.
Updates will be provided by NASA and Boeing as information is available. | aerospace |

When NASA launches a vehicle that includes a radioisotope power source, the first crucial seconds of the launch must be monitored carefully.
The entire RADCC team after the successful liftoff of the Mars Science Lab and “Curiosity.”
The job of NASA scientists became a lot easier starting November 26, when the Mars Science Lab and the rover “Curiosity” lifted off from the Kennedy Space Center. This vehicle, which is due to land on Mars August 6, was monitored by a newly redesigned and reconfigured radiological control center (RADCC), which is responsible for coordinating protective actions in the unlikely event of a launch accident. Its complicated array of technology includes Panasonic large screen displays, LifeSize video conferencing, and Crestron control.
NASA does not launch payloads with radioisotope power sources every day, but their importance to a mission’s success is well recognized. Even though the likelihood of a release of radioactive material was low, representatives from a variety of government agencies and NASA scientists monitored the launch from the RADCC, ready to step in should there be an accident. The room has two sections, a government management side and a slightly larger technical area, with workstations positioned in a U to offer more efficient exchange of data. Each workstation has a custombuilt console that allows RADCC personnel to plug in their laptops and provide up-to-the-minute information during launch. Operators display output from these laptops on nine Panasonic plasma monitors ranging from 42 to 58 inches, plus four Panasonic PT-DW5100U projectors with 100-inch diagonal Draper Targa drop-down wall screens.
Operators display output from laptops on nine Panasonic plasma monitors ranging from 42 to 58 inches, plus four Panasonic PT-DW5100U projectors with 100-inch diagonal Draper Targa drop-down wall screens.In addition, scientists can view live video of the launch from 11 cable boxes and recorded video from two JVC DVD players. They also have videoconferencing capabilities in both areas via LifeSize Room 220 systems. Multiple KSI ceiling speakers provide zoned audio to three different areas of the room.
Switching is handled by a 32x32 Extron CrossPoint RGBHV matrix switcher. Walter Bridges of Southern Digital Products, who designed the room’s AV technology, said he made the decision to stay with analog video to keep costs down, and it works well in this case.
Team scientists use their laptops to receive data from a variety of sources including 30 Environmental Continuous Air Monitors (ECAM) spread in and around the Kennedy Space Center to monitor air quality for the presence of any radioactive material. They also view information from 16 field teams mobilized to monitor the ground and respond in the case of a positive reading from an ECAM following any launch accident. The team receives constant updates on wind direction and velocity, weather changes, telemetry data, and animated scenarios of possible event results.
Bill Lally, president of Orlando-based independent programming company Mode:Green, designed and programmed the Crestron control system used in the RADCC. “We needed a simple way to handle the large number of sources coming in and make them switch easily and quickly, so we created an on-screen image of the layout of the room itself with the sources and monitors included. All an operator has to do is touch the image of the console they want to display and then touch the monitor they want to send it to.”
When the RADCC is in launch mode, all component controls are accessible from a trio of Crestron TPS-4000LB touch screens, which have identical interfaces. While one is installed in the equipment rack, two operators are seated at the other two, executing radiological control director Randall Scott’s orders as to what data to display on which monitor. The interface is so simple that there’s little chance of a mistake in an emergency situation.
If there ever is a release of any radioactive material, personnel would kick in to high gear, getting the word out immediately to the public and their respective agencies through several pathways including the videoconferencing systems installed in the RADCC.
“One of the last phases of the project was to build a secondary room to facilitate information release to the media,” said Lally. “Besides public affairs representatives from several federal and state agencies, NASA added a Twitter station and a Facebook station and were actually blogging the whole launch procedure for the Mars mission. We were sending them feeds, which the Crestron system handled as well, and it managed the video conferencing in the event something happened.”
The launch of the Mars Science Lab went off without a hitch. There may not be another radioactive launch until 2016, but the RADCC will be available for other launches as well, acting as backup to the Kennedy Space Center’s emergency operations center, a job it is now fully equipped to handle. | aerospace |

The first component covered by this contract is an EOTS azimuth gimbal housing to be manufactured using Beralcast, the company’s proprietary beryllium-aluminum casting alloy.
This first contract is for production of OEM aircraft fitted with EOTS systems and spares for low-rate initial production (LRIP) lots 7 and 8. Preproduction has begun, with initial deliveries scheduled for later this year and into 2015. The value of the initial contract is just over $2.0 million including non-recurring engineering (NRE) and hard tooling deliverables, and it has the potential with subsequent LRIP contract awards to increase significantly over the life of the F-35 program. The EOTS assembly being produced by Lockheed Martin is for all the F-35 variants and planned production quantities are estimated to be over 3,000 aircraft with deliveries through 2035.
“We are pleased to announce this validation of our Beralcast alloys and are committed to Lockheed Martin and the demanding requirements of this critical defense program,” said Ray White, president, IBC’s Engineered Materials Division. “A key attribute of our relationship with Lockheed Martin is flexibility and collaborative engineering, and we look forward to supporting future initiatives where modulus, weight and cost are critical performance factors.”
The F-35 Lightning II, a 5th generation fighter, combines advanced low observable stealth technology with fighter speed and agility, fully fused sensor information, network-enabled operations and advanced sustainment. Three distinct variants of the F-35 will replace the A-10 and F-16 for the U.S. Air Force, the F/A-18 for the U.S. Navy, the F/A-18 and AV-8B Harrier for the U.S. Marine Corps, and a variety of fighters for at least 10 other countries. Following the U.S. Marine Corps’ planned July 2015 IOC, the U.S. Air Force and Navy intend to attain IOC in Aug. 2016 and 2018, respectively.
Beralcast alloys are suited to high performance applications requiring lightweight, high stiffness parts with good thermal properties.

Become a Qualified Pilot and Seek Out Top Helicopter Pilot Jobs in South Africa with Aviation Link!
When you decide to become a helicopter pilot, you will need to undergo formal training and in order to do so, you will need to select a flight school wisely. Before you can begin training, you will need to decide if you are looking to fly for fun or if you want to make a career out of your newfound skill and training. This decision will determine the amount of money that you spend on training and, of course, how many hours of training and experience you will need.
While helicopter pilot jobs in South Africa are frequently advertised, you will need to ensure that you have attended a reputable aviation training school and that you have the required expertise before applying for any available positions. Pilots of every kind have a great deal of responsibility and must be serious about working safely within the industry, if they wish to prosper and excel.
You can expect to be considered a licensed pilot both locally and internationally, if you have undergone training at a SACAA (South African Civil Aviation Authority) approved training school. SACAA schools are all expected to adhere to a code of strict regulations and rules, and are regularly checked up on. Helicopters and aircraft used for training also have to be regularly serviced and maintained, to ensure airworthiness and safety at all times during training. Each and every school must adhere to these regulations, or must face some rather serious consequences.
Aviation schools located close to airports or at actual airports can certainly provide a more realistic and practical experience to students, where smaller schools located at outlying airfields will not have the same radio and air traffic control experience – just something to think about.
It is important to consider the training fees offered by each aviation training school. When comparing hourly rates, check to see that the fuel and the instructor’s fees are included in the quoted rate. Also make sure that it is possible to complete your training in the quoted hours. If flight schools overrun their hours, you could end up exhausting your budget too soon and being unable to obtain your license.
Once you have your helicopter license, you can start looking for freelance, contract or even permanent employment. Of course, you might already have your license and many hours of flying experience under your belt. Some aviation schools will offer you the opportunity to start building up your hours by working as a freelance instructor for new students or by providing freelance flying services. This is something to consider, but keep in mind that most students are offered this as an option when first entering the industry.

This will assume that all aerodrome and at least one approach controller is on.
What is non-standard IFR?
Non-standard IFR are aircraft that are flying as per instrument flying rules that are not going to depart via a standard routing (typically a SID)
When the aircraft first calls up the delivery controller will tell the aircraft to standby. The delivery controller will then contact the approach controller, telling them the callsign, aircraft type and the aircraft’s intentions. The approach controller will then either approve the startup or will let the delivery controller know of any delays. The approach controller will also issue a squawk code.
What about the after departure instructions
The approach controller then has two different options, they can phone up the tower controller and give the after departure instructions as well as potentially issuing a release, or they can wait for the tower controller to call up for a release and give the departure instructions with the release. (It should be noted that in the real world this is typically done by the approach controller through the electronic flight strips). | aerospace |

Fortunately, Etihad Airlines has teamed up with Panasonic Avionics Corporation to develop a series of wellness solutions aimed at enhancing the traveller’s experience. Etihad will be the first airline to trial Panasonic’s Jet Lag Adviser, which will be integrated into the airline’s passenger app.
The app will record individuals’ personal information including chronotype (sleep pattern), circadian rhythms, height, weight, the nature of travel, and other travel information like the flight times, routes and regions.
Then, it uses its artificial intelligence engine to produce personalised jet lag plans for passengers – with tips to help them reduce jet lag.
At different stages of the flight the Jet Leg Adviser will send several recommendations on what to do to reduce the issue, such as sleep, exposure to light, exercise, hydration and food intake. By following the recommended tips, the Jet Lag Adviser promises to help passengers feel more energetic.
Etihad Aviation Group Chief Commercial Officer, Robin Kamark, said in a statement: “Etihad is committed to providing choice and a superior experience to our guests, and we are continually looking at new ways to do just that. With the Jet Lag Adviser, we can now leverage artificial intelligence to improve the travel experience.
“This will be the first of many wellness initiatives we will explore together, and we are excited about our partnership with Panasonic and the possibilities that lie ahead.” | aerospace |

Please refine your choice. In theory the helicopter ought to fly in a perfect square pattern and cease on a dime at every nook. In fact, simply because an RC helicopter is electric doesn't mean that it will be inexpensive. I've had a couple of rc choppers way more expensive than this, and it is a good buy.
Principally, the gyro detects any sudden movements of the helicopter and will right these movements and cease any violent movements. The dual blades rotating in opposite instructions make the coaxial RC helicopters by far among the easiest to fly. The top speed isn't affected, though a paddle bar helicopter will possible have the ability to change its path more shortly. My web page on RC Radios goes into why computerized radios are so essential in addition to some strategies of what to get/look for. And we suggest you learn more article on how a CP helicopter works, then you will know how to modify a CP heli and luxuriate in this interest in appropriate steps.
In contrast to plane the place there are specific coach models geared solely for the primary time modeler, the differences between helicopters is more refined with the most important difference being dimension and precision. Get a number of hours of flying experience below your belt and you may be prepared for the extra subtle fashions. When organising your helicopter it will be significant that every part is degree and all linkages are 90 degrees. Because of its measurement, this helicopter has a flight time of just about eight minutes. If the helicopter spins clockwise flip the knob to the left or repeatedly press the left trim button (up to 15 instances) till the helicopter stops spinning in a circle and stabilizes. Large collective pitch helicopters (which for a newbie is anything weighing a kilogram or extra) can be very dangerous in inexperienced arms. Practice transitioning from quick ahead flight to touchdown Helicopter flight is eighty% hovering!
The settings, tips, and recommendation truly work on many sizes of RC helicopters.( Not simply Scale RC Helicopters) Physics and procedures are very a lot the same for any good single rotor collective pitch pastime grade machine no matter size, energy plant, or manufacturer.
Now, if Newton's 3rd regulation is true, there should be an equal and opposite response to the power created by the primary rotor blades, in rc helicopters guide , if the principle rotor blades are spinning clockwise, the helicopter should be spinning counter clockwise.
Consumer Scores are base on a 1-10 scale 1 being the simplest and 10 being the hardest to fly/maintain for a beginner with 0 RC flying expertise. The list is made with liking from an unlimited variety of RC hobbyists and their favorite gizmos to play with. They're much like enthusiast-stage remote-controlled planes, in that they're costly and require lots of area and experience to fly efficiently. That is how I've organized your RC helicopter flying classes - I have broken them down into a ten day course. This is truly a fairly accurate feeling of what a collective pitch RC heli behaves like whereas in a hover.
Deviltronics UK seller of micro RC helicopters and indoor helicopters, together with flying and remote control toys. Briefly, this e-e book has been written from the ground up. It is a complete, no-nonsense useful resource that gets you flying an rc heli. A free online calculator that analyzes the performance of beginners guide to rc helicopters flying model airplanes. They've a lot the same flight management surfaces as any helicopter you would see in the sky above you, albeit with those flight controls managed from the transmitter in your hand as an alternative of by your physique within the cockpit. Most mannequin RC Helicopters are inherently gentle, the motors are small and so the helicopters should be light-weight. This system contains big selection of RC models, from starter fashions to expensive aerobatic and scale fashions. RC Heli Nation Nice conversation about radio controlled helicopters on this podcast.
RC Aircraft Guide RCPlaneChat (a free on-line journal) is a information to discover ways to fly remote management airplanes, nice recommendations on constructing R/C planes, R/C jets and helicopters, along with the very best R/C plane magazines and interest outlets. If you're learning with a co-axle prepared-to-fly electrical helicopter such as the Lama or Walkera fifty four, then the coaching gear is pointless. That I'm positive of. But the hardest part comes when you don't know what you actually need. You'll experience what it is prefer to fly an actual helicopter through the collective pitch. RC helicopter remotes ship indicators to the helicopter and the blades to tell it the best way to move.
It's estimated over 50% of all single rotor collective pitch RC helicopters sold to, and built by first time fliers find yourself crashing inside the first minute (seconds often) of their maiden flight. With 2.4 GHz sensor, the transmitter is able to flying the RC helicopter as much as a 30m radius.
The second you stop making cyclic corrections to keep it on prime of the air dome, the helicopter will start drifting away and accelerate fast in that route; simply as if the ball bearing on the outside of the bowl would start rolling off the top of the bowl down the sides the second you stop balancing it on the top of the bowl.
For example if i wished to do a back flip within the Master CP, I might ensure that i may do a ahead flip, backflip and sideways flips within the simulator first and even combine up the sticks randomly and attempt to 'save' the helicopter in the sim to get more experience. | aerospace |

ASTM International’s general aviation aircraft committee (F44) has revised their standard for systems and equipment in aircraft.
The newly revised standard (F3061/F3061M) covers the systems and equipment aspects of airworthiness and design for aircraft. Topics covered in the standard include electrical systems, environmental requirements, manual and automatic flight controls, and flight data and voice recording, among others.
According to ASTM International member Edward Estagin, the revised standard will allow aircraft manufacturers, suppliers, and regulators to have a clearer understanding on how to show and find compliance to regulations that address unsafe system operating conditions.
“The revised standard will ensure a level playing field for applicants seeking regulatory approval,” says Estagin. “This will also provide further guidance for regulatory authorities.”
Estagin notes that anyone who has an interest in helping to make aviation safer is welcome to participate in the standards developing activities of the general aviation aircraft committee. JOIN ASTM. | aerospace |

If Amazon follows through on all the reservations announced today, the campaign would carry a multibillion-dollar price tag and arguably represent the space industry’s largest launch procurement for a single commercial project.
“Securing launch capacity from multiple providers has been a key part of our strategy from day one,” Rajeev Badyal, vice president of technology for Project Kuiper at Amazon, said today in a news release. “This approach reduces risk associated with launch vehicle stand-downs and supports competitive long-term pricing for Amazon, producing cost savings that we can pass on to our customers.”
Amazon’s Project Kuiper aims to offer satellite broadband internet service to tens of millions of people around the world who are currently underserved. The $10 billion project has been in the works for three years, and won the Federal Communications Commission’s go-ahead in 2020. But it’s considered far behind SpaceX’s Starlink satellite broadband service, which is already available on a limited basis.
Like Starlink, Project Kuiper is headquartered in Redmond, Wash. More than 1,000 Amazon employees are currently working on Kuiper, and the project’s careers website lists more than 300 open positions.
Dave Limp, senior vice president for Amazon Devices & Services, said Project Kuiper is making good progress. “We still have lots of work ahead, but the team has continued to hit milestone after milestone across every aspect of our satellite system,” he said. “These launch agreements reflect our incredible commitment and belief in Project Kuiper, and we’re proud to be working with such an impressive lineup of partners to deliver on our mission.”
Twelve launch reservations have been made with Blue Origin, the Kent, Wash.-based space venture owned by Amazon founder Jeff Bezos. Those launches would make use of Blue Origin’s New Glenn rocket, which is closing in on a first launch in 2023. Amazon also has an option to buy up to 15 additional New Glenn launches.
Amazon has reserved another 38 launches on United Launch Alliance’s Vulcan Centaur rocket, which is due to have its first liftoff as early as this year. Those missions would be in addition to nine previously reserved launches on ULA’s existing Atlas V rockets.
New Glenn and Vulcan are designed to lift off from separate launch complexes at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida.
Arianespace has agreed to set aside 18 launches of its heavy-lift Ariane 6 rocket, which is due to make its debut as early as this year at the European consortium’s spaceport in French Guiana. Arianespace CEO Stéphane Israël said the launch contract with Amazon is “the largest we’ve ever signed.”
The FCC license requires Amazon to launch at least half of its planned 3,236-satellite constellation by 2026, and today Amazon said its procurement plan should meet that schedule. That translates to more than 1,618 satellites, potentially launched by the nine Atlas V rockets and the rockets mentioned today.
To optimize the deployment of all those satellites, Amazon has turned to Beyond Gravity, a Swiss-based space technology company formerly known as RUAG Space. Beyond Gravity is in charge of designing and manufacturing the scalable satellite dispenser systems that will fly aboard the rockets.
RUAG International CEO André Wall said the Project Kuiper deal represents the largest order in Beyond Gravity’s history. To serve the partnership, Beyond Gravity is building a new dispenser production facility in Sweden.
Although it’s too late for Project Kuiper to beat Starlink to market, Amazon could take advantage of potential synergies with its other lines of business.
In today’s news release, Amazon said it would leverage its “global logistics and operations footprint, as well as Amazon Web Services’ networking and infrastructure, to serve a diverse, global customer base.” The company said it would also capitalize on its experience in building low-cost devices such as Echo and Kindle to deliver affordable broadband service via its lightweight customer terminals.
Slips in hardware development schedules could impede Project Kuiper’s progress: Amazon hasn’t said much so far about the timeline for building satellites. Moreover, not one of the rockets cited in today’s announcement — which was timed to coincide with this week’s Space Symposium in Colorado — has had its first flight yet.
At least one such slip may have happened already: Last November, Amazon announced that the first Project Kuiper prototype satellites would be launched into orbit late this year on yet another type of rocket, ABL Space Systems’ RS1. But in January, an anomaly that occurred during a rocket engine test in California set back ABL’s development schedule by several months.
As Badyal suggested in his comments, the large number of launch reservations may be a form of insurance to anticipate those sorts of setbacks — and cover Amazon’s multibillion-dollar bet.Continue Reading | aerospace |

As till October 25 for five-and-a-half hours daily, about 190 flights will have the relatively less efficient secondary runway for use as the main runway will be closed for post-monsoon repair work. What this means is that about 20,000 passengers of those flights to and from Dubai, London, Delhi and Bangalore, among other cities, may have to put up with some inconvenience. While the MIAL claims that there won’t be any significant delays as flight operations will be carried out on the secondary runway 14-32, this would be the first time that work would be carried out on such a large scale especially when Mumbai airport handles about 30% of 650 flights between 10.30 am and 4 pm. While the Mumbai International Airport is still hoping that the post monsoon repair work do not obstruct flight, it is highly impossible. So if you are planning to catch an afternoon flight to or from Mumbai airport in the next two weeks, it would be sensible to factor in a delay of about an hour or so if you don’t want your schedule to go haywire.

Together with three nearby impact craters and one hill, the name was approved by the International Astronomical Union (IAU), Liu Jizhong, director of the China Lunar Exploration and Space Engineering Center of the China National Space Administration (CNSA), said at a joint press conference.
The CNSA held the joint press conference with the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the IAU.
“Tianhe” is the Chinese word for Milky Way and “Statio” is Latin for base. Before “Statio Tianhe,” only one place is listed on lunar maps as “Statio,” namely “Statio Tranquilitatis” (Tranquility Base), the site the Apollo 11 crew members of the United States landed and walked on in 1969.
According to the CNSA, the Chang’e-4 probe landed at the preselected landing area at 177.6 degrees east longitude and 45.5 degrees south latitude on the far side of the moon at 10:26 a.m. Jan. 3 Beijing Time. The landing area is the Von Karman Crater within the Aitken Basin.
The three nearby impact craters located in the Von Karman Crater form the shape of a triangle with Statio Tianhe at the center, looking like the celestial Summer Triangle prominent in evening skies from June through December in the northern hemisphere.
The defining vertices of the Summer Triangle are at Vega, Altair and Deneb, each of which is the brightest star of its constellation. The three craters were therefore named after the three stars with names in traditional Chinese astrology. Zhinyu is for Vega, Hegu (also called Niulang) for Altair and Tianjin for Deneb.
In Chinese folk tales, lovers Niulang and Zhinyu, one a cowherder and the other a weaver fairy, were separated by the Tianhe (Heavenly River, or the Milky Way), as their love was not allowed by the gods. They could only reunite once a year when a flock of magpies formed a bridge across the river.
In Chinese, Tianjin means galaxy’s ferry and bridge across the Milky Way.
Along with relay satellite Queqiao (Magpie Bridge), the naming of Statio Tianhe and the three craters are integrated with rich cultural connotations, said Li Chunlai, deputy director of the National Astronomical Observatories of China and commander-in-chief of the ground application system of Chang’e-4, at the press conference.
At the center of Von Karman Crater, around 46 km northwest to Statio Tianhe, a hill that was used to locate the landing site was named Mons Tai. Regarded as the foremost of the Five Great Mountains of China, Mount Tai is of historical and cultural significance. Mons is Latin for mountain.
It is the IAU’s first time approving lunar place names with “Mons” since 1985.
The IAU is the officially recognized authority in astronomy for assigning designations to celestial bodies such as stars, planets and minor planets, including any surface features on them.
So far, a total of 12 lunar features have been named by China.
Liu said naming lunar surface features provides scientists in China and abroad with original data and location standards and will open a new chapter in lunar exploration in the world.
In January 2016, the landing site of Chang’e-3 was named “Guang Han Gong” or “Moon Palace,” more than two years after the probe made China’s first successful soft-landing on the moon in December 2013.
The Chang’e-4 probe, launched from the Xichang Satellite Launch Center in southwest China on Dec. 8, 2018, touched down on the far side of the moon after orbiting the moon for more than 20 days.
With the communication assistance of the relay satellite Queqiao (Magpie Bridge), the probe sent back the first-ever close-up photograph of the moon’s far side. | aerospace |

This is achieved by tracing the actual path of a plane.
Flight Tracker is often a software tool that gives the immediate status of an airfare. Flight tracking can be easily networked to remote PCs, therefore preferable, one can separate dispatching and briefing areas. Airline flight tracking helps increase scheduling and operational forecast efficiency for organizations of all sizes like airlines and logistics companies. It's not simply increased planning efficiency one also can look forward to enhanced customer care with faster convert times.
Air traffic controllers use flight-tracking strips to watch or track flights. A flight ticket tracking strip is really a computer printout of the aircraft's shortened flight plan which is used by air traffic controllers to evaluate an aircraft's flight. It identifies the particular flight path that aircraft operators use when flying, this information database system also identifies all other flights originating at nearby airports. The flight tracks are produced by the federal government Aviation Administration Air Traffic Control System's radar data, which gives the aircraft's "footprints" on the horizon.
Flight journey tracking has been created easy and in all fairness priced, for those, whether professionals or home users, which has a keen curiosity about aircraft. They could make use of this system by only installing this software within their PCs. Airplane enthusiasts could get info on any airport and track flights through the entire country with only a fairly easy net connection. You can track flights by only entering their tracking number.
Track telling is the method of communicating air observations and strategic data information between command and control systems or between services from the systems.

Hering, a decorated Vietnam War veteran, was then in training to become a Minuteman-missile crewman. The question he asked one of his instructors was this: “How can I know that an order I receive to launch my missiles came from a sane president?”
The writer Ron Rosenbaum would later call this the “forbidden question.” Missile officers are allowed to ask certain sorts of questions—about the various fail-safe systems built to prevent the accidental launching of nuclear weapons, for instance. But the Air Force would not answer Hering’s question, and it moved to discharge him after determining that officers responsible for launching nuclear weapons did not “need to know” the answer. “I have to say I feel I do have a need to know because I am a human being,” Hering said in response. | aerospace |

In the early 1900s, the first non-stop transatlantic flight was completed by British pilots John Alcock and Arthur Brown, marking the first time an aircraft would complete the trek from St. John’s, Newfoundland to Clifden, Ireland — and now, Rolls-Royce is paying homage to the aviators’ brave endeavor with the prestigious Wraith Eagle VIII.
The completion of 1919’s transatlantic flight, in and of itself, was a historic event made even more intriguing by a slew of dastardly challenges — in fact, following the instantaneous failure of the crew’s radio and navigation systems shortly after takeoff, both Alcock and Brown were forced to put their survival skills to the test almost immediately. As a result, the flight was completed using extensive knowledge of constellations and star patterns. Among the aircraft’s systems, the inclusion of two famed 20.3-liter, 350-horsepower Rolls-Royce Eagle VIII engines was the most substantial, acting as the only component on the entire platform that worked without fault. A century later, the company has decided to pay its respects to the WWI Vickers Vimy bomber (and crew) with the aptly named Wraith Eagle VIII, a luxurious vehicle that boasts a handful of bespoke features, including a two-tone Gunmetal/Selby Grey exterior and black grille, referencing the cowling used on the original aircraft. The Wraith’s black leather interior is outfitted with embroidered ‘RR’ monograms and Smoked Eucalyptus wood, illustrating images of Earth as seen from above, while a substantial quote from Sir Winston Churchill demarcates the mission’s notoriety following its completion. To round things out, a unique starlight headliner containing 1,183 starlight fibers mimics the celestial arrangement at the time of the flight in 1919. Only 50 examples of the vehicle are intended for sale, with the first to make its debut at Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este in May. | aerospace |

The results, obtained by instruments on board China’s Yutu-2 rover, part of the Chang’e-4 mission, reveal more than a billion years of previously unknown lunar history.
Since landing on the far side of the moon in 2018 (which no one had done before), Yutu-2 has captured stunning panoramas of impact craters and collected mineral samples from the lunar mantle. And now, for the first time, the spacecraft has allowed scientists to visualize the layered structure that makes up the first 300 layers of the lunar surface. The results of this research have just been published in the Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets.
The Chinese rover is equipped with a technology called Lunar Penetrating Radar (LPR). According to Jianqing Feng, a researcher at the Institute of Planetary Sciences in Tucson, Arizona, and the paper’s first signatory, the device allows the robotic vehicle to send radio signals to the lunar surface. “Then,” Feng explains, “listen to the echoes as they come back.” Therefore, scientists can use these “echoes” (radio waves bouncing off underground structures) to create a map of the lunar surface. In 2020, scientists were already using Yutu-2’s LPR to map the first 40 meters below the surface but had not previously penetrated deeper. 40 meters, which, according to new data, consists of several layers of dust, dirt, and broken rock.
But there was so much more. Hidden among these materials, Feng said, was a crater that formed when a large object crashed into the moon. The researchers assume that the debris surrounding this formation was ejecta, i.e., debris from the impact. As scientists delved deeper, they discovered up to five different layers of lunar lava accumulated over billions of years.
According to the most widely held theory, the moon formed 4.510 million years ago, just after the solar system itself, when an object the size of Mars collided with Earth, detaching a large fragment of our planet. Later, the moon continued to be bombarded by objects from space for about 200 million years. Some of these impacts ripped open the lunar surface. Like Earth, the lunar mantle then contained pockets of magma, molten material that Feng says seeped through newly formed fissures in a series of violent volcanic eruptions.
New data from the Chang’e-4 mission shows that this process slowed down over time. Feng and his colleagues found that the layers of volcanic rock thinned the closer they got to the lunar surface. This suggests that modern eruptions flow less lava than older ones. “The moon, explains the researcher, – slowly cooled and lost steam in its last volcanic stage. His energy waned over time.”
Volcanic activity on the moon is thought to have stopped completely about a billion years ago (although scientists have uncovered much more recent evidence of isolated volcanic activity, as young as 100 million years old). Because of this, the moon is often considered “geologically dead.” However, according to Feng, there could still be magma at depth, many meters below the surface. Something that the rover Yutu-2, which has not yet finished its work, could reveal in the near future. | aerospace |

Every time an astronaut makes the trip into space, he faces the risk of death from the slightest mechanical error or instance of bad luck. In February 2003, American astronauts Donald Pettit and Kenneth Bowersox and Russian flight engineer Nikolai Budarin were on what was to be a routine fourteen-week mission maintaining the International Space Station. But then the shuttle Columbia exploded beneath them. With the launch program suspended indefinitely, these astronauts had suddenly lost their ride back to earth. This book offers a detailed portrait of the odd life of the people who live in zero gravity, as it chronicles the efforts of the beleaguered mission controls in Houston and Moscow working frantically to bring their men home--ultimately settling on a plan that felt, at best, like a long shot.--From publisher description.

In a recent meeting, Indonesian authorities informed the families of the victims of last year’s Boeing 737 Max crash that a systemic design defect caused the crash.
Investigators reported that Boeing did not train its pilots to use a new software called MCAS. They assume that the crash was due to MCAS not working, and the pilots did not understand the warnings of the system and its defects.
Aviation controllers say that a MCAS system for a second accident when a Boeing 737 Max from Ethiopian Airlines also crashed. Boeing then decided to stop all flights worldwide.
On Tuesday, Boeing’s officials dismissed Kevin McAllister, the commercial airplanes division chief who was in charge of the company’s response to the crashes.
The Indonesian National Transportation Safety Committee expects to release the final report on Friday.

Yakima, Washington based CubCrafters has announced that the company has obtained a
Validation of Type Certification (VTC) from the Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC) for
its CC18-180 Top Cub model. The VTC was issued October 18, 2012 allowing the Top Cub to be
imported and operated in China.
CubCrafters began extending its reach internationally with the company’s first deliveries of its
new, manufactured aircraft to Canada in 2009, then Australia in 2010. In 2012 they established
their first Certified Sales Center in Europe. Now CubCrafters is poised to sell aircraft into
China’s emerging civil aviation market. “We’ve always maintained a global market perspective,”
comments Randy Lervold, Cubcrafters’ General Manager. “Our recent increases in engineering
resources, along with improved manufacturing capacity have allowed us to push beyond
domestic sales and develop markets abroad.”

What you’ll understand:

- What is a starter generator?
- Powertrain options for extra-electric powered-aircraft (MEA) layouts.
This article will acquire a deep dive into tough, but modern, superior-energy-density enhancement technologies for electrical plane that will considerably minimize sound and fuel-burning emissions in the atmosphere.
The plane sector is striving to decrease functioning and upkeep costs furthermore minimize gasoline emissions as they move toward a hybrid electric plane (HEA), the a lot more electric plane (MEA), and in the long run the all-electric plane concept. Let us start out with the HEA.
The HEA thought drastically extends the MEA thought by electrifying the aircraft propulsive electric power coupled with the auxiliary aircraft ability program. This effort will push the boundaries of the envelope of aircraft electrification.
Hybrid-Electrical Propulsion Devices
Designers are applying their awareness and creative imagination to empower hybrid-electric powered propulsion, in particular for larger professional plane. A megawatt-course, light-weight, substantial-performance, significant-density electrical ability system will be desired for increased overall performance and small carbon emissions.
Significant-Electricity-Density Converters for HEA
Electric aircraft propulsion designs will will need to have larger gasoline effectiveness and reduce sound air pollution, in addition to much decrease carbon emissions. One particular probable way to accomplish these goals is to use a substantial-electricity-density, medium-voltage (MV), megawatt-amount power converter.1 The architecture for this effort and hard work is dependent on a hybrid style and design consisting of a three-amount, lively neutral-level-clamped (ANPC) topology.
The exceptional way to achieve both of those superior efficiency and significant electrical power density is for energy designers to noticeably increase the dc bus voltage amount from the present 270 V dc to a better 2 kV dc. This larger voltage will help smaller sized, lighter electric powered cables that operate from the electrical power converter to the electrical propulsion motor.
In addition, designers will will need to improve the electricity converter’s elementary frequency from 400 Hz to higher than 1 kHz. Consequently, the design and style also will demand a greater-switching-frequency ability converter.
The best power transistor factor for these a style would be to use silicon-carbide (SiC) MOSFETs in the design and style architecture together with outstanding SiC gate drivers.2
Applying SiC devices, an optimized filter design and style, and an improved mechanical packaging will boost both of those effectiveness and energy density. The remaining design and style is a SiC/Si hybrid for a 3L-ANPC electricity converter. The inverter design achieves a higher efficiency of 99.1% and higher ability density of much more than 18 kVA/kg and 10 MVA/m3 at nominal operating circumstances.
Substantial-Ability-Density 4-MW Generator for HEA
Presently, classic air transport methods really don’t fulfill any sensible stage of inexperienced-manner transportation. The European Union has a Flightpath 2050 system which is trying to decrease carbon-dioxide (CO2) and nitrogen-oxide (NOx) emissions per passenger kilometer by 75% and 90%, respectively, relative to the flip of the New Millennium.
1 growth underway is the E-Lover X floor demonstrator in a joint effort and hard work by Airbus and Rolls-Royce. It’s a hybrid-electrical propulsion system with a 2-MW electric powered generate run from a 2.5-MW generator, which, in convert, is powered by a gas turbine situated in the plane fuselage. Floor testing is continuing at existing.
Producing a hybrid-electric aircraft fly involves ongoing power density and efficiency of the electrical equipment that will assistance permit plane propulsion and era. The two propulsion and technology need to have to be pushed further than the present condition of the art, although.
At this stage, the Mark#1, 2.5-MW everlasting-magnet (PM) generator appears to be the best promising concept so much. The following level of a larger-power generator will be difficult. Nevertheless, there’s an ongoing thought of a 4-MW (or 5-MVA), 15,000-rpm generator which is striving to realize 18 kW/kg, which would be a new record level of overall performance.3
Electric powered-Aircraft Power Electronic Converters
Electricity density is important in aircraft energy electronic converters (PECs).5 Very low fat and high electrical power ability in electrical aircraft are paramount as crucial goals. Simply just expanding the pace of the PEC will not constantly be effective in boosting energy density. Higher frequencies can lead to substantial increases in iron and ac copper losses, together with greater needs for PEC efficiency, which will negatively effect fat and sizing.
The most electrical power of the wound-subject synchronous device (WFSM) can arrive at 250 kVA. An illustration is four similarly rated WFSMs in the Boeing 787 Dreamliner architecture. Full electrical ability is 1,450 kVA (this incorporates further electricity generation facilities as well). Two variable-frequency starter turbines (VFSGs) on two of the key engines were being incorporated in this ability estimate.
A variable-speed variable-frequency (VSVF) power process (i.e., ‘‘frequency-wild ac system’’) appears to have captivated lots of desire. The initially commercially offered implementation of this program utilizes four 120/150-kVA variable-frequency (VF) turbines in the Airbus A380 platform. The VSVF technological innovation also is becoming deployed on the Boeing B787.
On prime of that, a proposal of a “variable-voltage” bus tactic may greatly enhance the all round electrical power-administration process. A competing dc-bus topology has been proposed as effectively, with 540 V and 270 V for some alternative aviation systems.
Electric Aircraft Starter Turbines (S/G)
More-electric features, like integrated, superior-energy-density, starter-generator layouts,5 will be critical technologies in the potential more-electric-aircraft (MEA) process style and design. Fuel turbines are currently being configured to carry out electric powered setting up (aka motor cranking) by way of electrical equipment (EMs), that in transform will harvest mechanical electric power from the engine in the generator mode. This will empower elimination of hydraulic and pneumatic programs.
MEA Electric Powertrains
The Ultimate Objective: All-Electric Powertrain
In this foreseeable future design thought, a set of battery energy-storage gadgets will be the only energy source. This design and style prospects to zero emissions. To make this strategy a actuality, superior condition-of-the-artwork power-storage devices will be essential. Remain tuned.
The Hybrid-Electric powered Powertrain
In this principle, onboard plane energy will be provided by way of jet fuel and electrical vitality-storage units (see determine). With these a procedure, aircraft propulsion may perhaps be carried out by means of each electrical motor and jet engine.
The Turboelectric Powertrain and Dispersed Propulsion
The turboelectric powertrain architecture has two sub-groups: entire turboelectric and partial turboelectric. Both architectures really do not call for energy-storage products in their style. As a final result, point out-of-the-artwork ac-ac ability converters could be utilized to interface the two machines and do away with dc-bus electrolytic capacitors that are susceptible to fault complications. Just like the Sequence Hybrid Powertrain architecture, the comprehensive turboelectric topology implements an electrical motor as the propulsion device.
With this technique, the motor is powered by the electric energy furnished by the onboard, substantial-power-density electric generators, which are in flip driven by the jet engines. Alternatively, the partial turboelectric architecture takes advantage of the jet engines and electric motors to provide propulsion ability.
NASA: Eco-friendly Aviation
NASA’s Ames Study Heart supports crucial missions in aviation science and engineering. Inexperienced aviation has a objective to boost plane gas effectiveness and produce new systems and techniques engineering procedures that can obtain a long term of carbon-neutral air transportation across the world.
NASA’s goal is to just take obligation for the effects of aviation on the setting. This will include things like cutting down carbon footprint and other destructive emissions, as nicely as sounds. MEA is commencing to use electrical powertrains.
Aircraft electrification will considerably lessen the carbon footprint in air vacation. Airways are slowly and gradually having absent from jet-powered aviation and will start off to roll out battery-run electric powered plane in the upcoming. In the interim, some industrial airlines are partly deploying HEA.
Large-energy-density plane turbines are methodically staying deployed on HEA and in the long run on the MEA. NASA initiatives will enable velocity up the introduction of HEA and MEA as we progress into the future of aviation and ultimately shift toward the all-electric powered plane.

An indicator mechanism is shown in schematic form in Fig. We have -come a long way from the time when the engineer had only to undo four bolts and two unions, and out came the airspeed indicator. At a in Fig. These indicators consist of the same basic elements as conventional VSis. The magnification ratio between the two levers is therefore altered as the altitude mechanism divides p. In order to indicate whether temperatures are either positive or negative. A point which may be noted in connection with turns from E or W is that when the N or S end of the magnet system is tilted up.

Readers Also Enjoyed. About E. Books by E. This balances out any pressure differences which might be caused by the location of the static holes along the fore-and-aft axis of the probes. Valves are of the self-closing type so that they cannot be left in the open position after drainage of accumulated water. Drain holes provided in probes are of such a diameter that they do not introduce errors in instrument indications.
Drain traps are designed to have a capacity sufficient to allow for the accumulation of the maximum amount of water that could enter a system between servicing periods. In order for an air data system to operate effectively under all flight conditions. The diameter of pipelines is related to the distance from the pressure sources to the instruments in order to eliminate pressure drop and time-lag factors.
The method of draining the pipelines varies between aircraft types. Such provision takes the form of drain holes in probes. They are commonly used in the more basic air data systems installed in many types o small aircraft. Servo-operated instruments are. The fundamental principles of these instruments will be described-in a later chapter. I3 Air data system drains. When the fluid flows at a certain velocity V over the probe it will be brought to rest at the nose.
It is also equal to the product of the ratio of the mass m to density p and pressure p. If the fluid is an ideal one. In connection with this probe. This means that work must be done by the mass of fluid and this raises an equal volume of fluid above the level of the fluid stream. TheRinetic energy ofa mass m before being brought to rest is t equ"afto ml72".. The work done in raising the fluid is equal to the product of its mass.: In coming to rest at the stagnation point.
Let us consider a pitot probe placed in a fluid with its open end facing upstream as shown in Fig. The term 'computed' appiies specifically to air data computer systems in which PE corrections are automatically applied to an airspeed sensing module via an electrical correction network. This coefficient is. CAS is automatically compensated for compressibility of air at a pitot probe to obtain EAS at varying speeds and altitudes..
In order therefore to minimize 'compressibility errors' in indication. In air data computer systems. Jndicated airspeed IAS fj: Errors and appropriate corrections to be applied are determined by comparison against calibration equipment having high standards of accuracy.
Pitot pressure p. This is also done automatically in air data computer systems. Mmo Maximum operating speed in terms of Mach number.
The foregoing airspeeds are summarized pictorially in Fig Je which damps out pressure surges. Displacements of the capsule in accordance with what is called the 'square-law' are transmitted via a magnifying lever system.. The pressure-sensing element is a metal capsule. Except for this connector the case is sealed I 7 Square-law characteristics. If also the capsule were coupled to the pointer mechanism so that its deflections were directly magnified. The non-linearity of such a scale makes it difficult to read accurately.
The retarding force is governed by sets of ranging screws which are pre-adjusted to contact the spring at appropriate points as it is lifted by the expanding capsule.
In some types of servo-operated indicators. As speed and differential pressure increase. Since the speed of sound The principle of a commonly used version of the foregoing method is one in which the length of a lever is altered as progressive deflections of the capsule take place.
Another type of square-law compensating device is shown in Fig. In other words. It consists of a special ranging or 'tuning' spring which bears against the capsule and applies a controlled retarding force to capsule expansion. Of the two methods the latter is the more practical because means of adjustment can be incorporated to overcome the effects of capsule 'drift' plus other mechanical irregularities as determined during calibration.
I Airspeed capsule. This ratio. Let us assume that the aircraft is flying under standard sea-level conditions at a speed V of mph.. Figure 2.! The speed of sound at sea-level This obviously is not a practical solution. C and D will be set to angular positions determined by this difference. At sea-level and as based on our earlier assumption. We may now consider how the altitude mechanism of the Machmeter fiinctions in order to achieve this. The speed of sound cannot be measured by the instrument.
The airspeed mechanism therefore tends to make the pointer indicate a lower Mach number. What happens at altitudes above sea-level? As already pointed out.. It is for this reason that critical Mach numbers Mer. The critical Mach number for a particular type of aircraft is indicated by a pre-adjusted lubber mark located over the dial of the Machmetc. The magnification ratio between the two levers is therefore altered as the altitude mechanism divides p.
Ps by p. Thus a Machmeter indicates the Mach number Via in terms of the pressure ratio p. It affects the pressure difference p.
Two external index pointers around the bezel may be manually set to any desired reference speed. The purpose of the setting knob in the bottom left-hand corner of the bezel is to enable the pilot to position a command 'bug' with respect to the airspeed scale..
A second pointer. The mechanism consists of two measuring elements which drive their own indicating elements. The pointer is striped red and white and can be pre-adjusted to the desired limiting speed value. In operation. When the limiting speed is reached.
The adjustment is made on the ground against charted information appropriate to the operational requirements of the particular type of aircraft. The pointer rotates against the tension of a hairspring which returns the pointer to its originally selected position when the Mach speed decreases to below the limiting speed.
In addition to their basic indicating function. It has. The necessary computation is effected by calibrating the scales to logarithmic functions of pitot and static pressures. The indicating element for this purpose is a servomotor-driven digital counter. In the Figure 2. It will be noted from Fig. In aircraft having an autothrottie system. In the example illustrated. A readout of the command speed is given on a digital counter which is also mechanically set by the command speed knob.
A check on the operation of the failure monitoring and flag circuits. The dial presentation and mechanical features of a typical pneumatic type of altimeter are shown in Fig. The resultant of both curves produces the linear scale as at curve 4.
This conversion is represented by the graphical example shown in Fig. Since the ISA also assumes certain temperature values at all altitudes. In standard conditions. The bi-metal compensator is simultaneously affected by the decrease in ambient temperature. In a similar manner. At higher altitudes the same effects on elasticity will take place. We may consider these errors by taking the case of a simple altimeter situated at various levels.
In practice. As far as altimeters are concerned. Assuming that at the sea-level airfield the pressure falls to The relationship between the various altitudes associated with flight operations is presented graphically in Fig.
The altimeter will thus read a greater pressure Mop and will indicate an altitude greater than ft. The pressure of A 1B1 is. At point H. I 8 1- C'4: This may be seen from the three columns shown in Fig.. Variations in temperature cause differences of air density and therefore differences in weight and pressure of the air. It will be apparent from the foregoing that. In order.. If the temperature of the air in part AB increases.
Thus the altimeter. At point A the altimeter measures the pressure of the column AC. At a the altimeter is assumed to be subjected to standard conditions. If now the altimeter is raised through ft as at The underlying principle of this may be understood by considering the setting device to be a millibar scale having a simple geared connection to the altitude pointer as shown in Fig. If the setting is then changed to. The deflected position of the capsules appropriate to whatever pressure is acting on them at the time will not be disturbed by rotation of the mechanism.
When the knob is rotated then. Likewise it will be noted that the setting knob is also geared to the sensing element mechanism body.
Hg and the other in mb interconnected through gearing to a setting knob. In the altimeter shown in Fig. There are two code letter groups commonly used in connection with altimeter setting procedures. For this purpose. The requests and transmissions are adopted universally and form part of the ICAO 'Q' code of communication. In order to make the settings flight crew are dependent on observed meteorological data which are requested and transmitted from air traffic control. The pressure set is a value reduced to mean sea-level in accordance with ISA.
The zero reading is regardless of the airport's elevation above sea-level. When used for landing and take-off.
Any value is only valid in the immediate vicinity of the airport concerned. Since an altimeter with a QNH setting reads altitude above sea- level. QFE Setting the barometric pressure prevailing at an airport to make the altimeter read zero on landing at. Height is the vertical distance of a level. SAS Transition altitude Height.
Elevation is the vertical distance of a fixed point above or below mean sea-level. The following definitions. Where a runway is below the airport elevation. QFE Altitude. It is used for flights above a prescribed transition altitude and has the advantage that with all aircraft using the same airspace and flying on the same altimeter setting.
For altimeter settings the QFE datum used is the airport elevation which is the highest usable point on the landing area. The transition altitude within UK airspace is usually ft to ft. Flight levels.
Altitude is the vertical distance of a level. The other end of the metering unit is open to the interior of the case to apply static pressure to the exterior of the capsule. Let us now see how the instrument operates under the three flight conditions shown in the diagram. An indicator mechanism is shown in schematic form in Fig. This is accomplished by incorporating a special air metering unit in the sensing system. The dial presentation is such that zero is at the 9 o'clock position.
Since the rate at which the static pressure changes is involved in determining vertical speed. A typical example of this presentation is shown in Fig.
The reason for this is that a logarithmic scale is more open near the zero graduation. This tube serves the same purpose as the one employed in a pneumatic type of airspeed indicator. It is. Certain types of indicator employ a linear scale. A pneumatic type of indicator consists basically of three principal components: At the instant of commencing a descent.
The pressure inside the case. Metering units are designed to compensate for the effects of the variables over the ranges normally encountered. The construction of a typical indicator is shown in Fig.
Apart from the changes of static pressure with changes of altitude. In addition. It consists of a cast aluminium-alloy body which forms the support for I Rocking shaft assembly. During a climb. An adjustment device is provided at the front of the indicator for settiog the pointer to zero. The basic principle is illustrated in Fig. The accelerometer comprises a small cylinder. When a change in vertical speed is initiated.
The capsule displacement in turn produces instantaneous deflection of the indicator pointer over the descent portion of the scaie. Instantaneous vertical speed indicators IVS! These indicators consist of the same basic elements as conventional VSis. The flange of the metering unit connects with the static pressure connection of the indicator case.
At initiation of an ascent. Displacements of the capsule in response to differential pressure changes are transmitted to the pointer via a balanced link and rocking-shaft assembly. The purpose of the restrictor in the bypass line is to prevent any loss of pressure change effects created by displacements at the acceleration pump. The cylinder is connected in a capillary tube leading to the capsule. The upper spring and its adjusting screws control the rate of descent calibration.
The accelerometer response decays in each case after a few seconds. The range of adjustment around zero depends on tne scale range of any one' type of indicator. At speeds below The temperature which would overall be the most ideal is that of air under pure static conditions at the flight levels compatible with the operating range of any particular type of aircraft concerned.
The measurement of static air temperature SAT by direct means is. As the helix expands or contracts. An example of this thermometer and its installation in one type of helicopter is shown in Fig.
Details of the method by which this is normally accomplished will be given in Chapter 7. If the corresponding SAT value is to be determined and indicated. Various types of sensor may be adopted for the sensing of air temperature. The simplest type. The measurement of TAT requires a more sophisticated measuring technique. This parameter is referred to as total air temperature TAT and is derived when the air is brought to rest or nearly so without further addition or removal of heat.
The thermometer is secured through a fixing hole in the side window of a cockpit. For use in aircraft capable of high Mach speeds. The element is arranged in the form of a helix anchored at one end of a metal sheath or probe.
In this context.. The bled holes in the intake casing In flight. TAT sensors are of the probe type. The probe is in the form of a small" strut and air intake made of nickel-plated berylfa: It is secured at a pre-determined location in the front fuselage section of an aircraft typically at the side.
The heater dissipates a nominal W under in-flight icing conditions. A pure platinum wire resistance-type sensing element is used and is hermetically sealed within two concentric platinum tubes. The errors involved. A secord type of TAT probe is shown in Fig. An axial wire heating element. The principal differences between it and the one just described relate to the air intake configuration and the manner in which airflow is directed through it and the probe casing.
The probe has an almost negligible time- lag. The element is wound on the inner tube. The purpose of the engine bleed air injector fitting and tube is to create a negative differential pressure within the casing so that outside air is drawn through it at such a rate AIR fl.
In addition to TAT. The internal arrangement of an LCD see page 15 type of indicator is schematically shown in Fig. This controls an 'OFF' flag which under normal conditions is held out of view by an energized solenoid.
TAT indicators can. The power supply to the computer is connected via supply. Air temperature indicators As in the case of other instruments. The purpose of this element is to transmit a signal to other systems requiring air temperature information. The motor then drives the counter drums. Detection of failure of the 26 V ac power to the indicator.
The system is supplied with V ac which is then stepped down and rectified by a power supply module within the indicator. In order to indicate whether temperatures are either positive or negative. The generation of the appropriate temperature signals is also accomplished by means of a de bridge circuit. The probe element forms one part of a resistance bridge circuit. The circuit of a probe and a basic conventional pointer and scale type of indicator is shown in Fig.
An example of this would be the airspeed measuring circuit of an ADC for the computing of true airspeed see Chapter 7. The temperature data signals are transmitted from a digital type of ADC see Chapter 7 via a data bus and receiver to a microcomputer. In some cases. Some of the variations are illustrated in Fig. I Mechanical drive. TAT -,-,,--, ,-, ,-,. Function selector 0 push-button. TAS, each of which can be selected in sequence by a push-button function select switch.
When power is first applied, the indicator displays TAT, as in Fig. Pushing the switch in for a third time returns the display to TAT.
A test input facility is provided, and when activated it causes the display to alternate between all seven segments of each of the three digits , 'ON' for two seconds, and blank for one second. Since this is normally done b: Details of the coloured display shown at d of Fig. Air data alerting and In connection with the in-flight operation of aircraft, it is necessary to warning systems impose limitations in respect of certain operating parameters compatible with the airworthiness standards to which each type of aircraft is certificated.
It is also necessary for systems to be provided which will, both visually and aurally, alert and warn a flight crew whenever the imposed operational limitations are being exceeded.
The number of parameters to be monitored in this way varies in relation to the type of aircraft and the number of systems required for its operation overall. As far as air data measuring systems are concerned, the principal parameters are airspeed and altitude, so let us now consider the operating principles of associated alerting and warning systems typical of those used in some of the larger types of public transport aircraft.
Mach warning system This system provides an aural warning when an aircraft's speed reaches the maximum operating value in terms of Mach number, i. Mmo a typical value is 0. The system consists of a switch unit which, as can be seen from Fig.
It will also be noted that in lieu of a pointer actuating system, the sensing units actuate the contacts of a switch which is connected to a 28 V de power source.. At speeds below the limiting value, the switch contacts remain closed and the de passing through them energizes a control relay.
The contacts of this relay interrupt the ground connection to an aural warning device generally referred to as a 'clacker' because of the sound it emits when in operation. When the limiting Mach speed at any given altitude is reached, the airspeed sensing unit causes the switch contacts to open, thereby de-energizing the control relay so that its contacts now complete a connection from the 'clacker' to ground.
Since the 'clacker' i:. A toggle switch that is spring-loaded to 'OFF' is provided for the When placed in the 'TEST' position, it allows de to flow to the ground side of the switch unit control relay, thereby providing a bias sufficient to de-energize the relay and so cause the 'clacker' to be activated.
In the exam: The other indicator, which is in the first officer's group of flight instruments, is also of the servo-operated The 'ciacker' units associated with the indicators are respectively designated as 'aural warning I' and 'aural warning 2'. The captain's indicator contains an overspeed circuit module that is supplied by the ADC with prevailing speed data and also the limiting V,,w and Mmo values appropriate to the type of aircraft. The contacts of the switch unit in the first officer's indicator are connected to a relay, and since these contacts remain closed at speeds below maximum values, the relay is de-energized.
When the maximum speed is reached, the relay coil circuit is interrupted and its contacts then change over to provide a ground connection for the de supply which activates 'aural warning 2' clacker unit. Test switches are provided for checking the operation of each clacker by simulation of overspeed conditions. When switch 1 is operated de is applied to the overs peed circuit module in the captain's inr!
The operation of switch 2 applies de to the relay coil such that it is shorted out against the standing supply from the closed airspeed switch; the relay 'is therefore de-energized to provide a ground connection for 'aural warning 2' clacker unit. The indicators themselves provide visual indications of overspeed and these are discernible when the airspeed pointers become positioned coincident with pre-set maximum limit pointers see Figs 2.
The selected altitude is set by means of a knob on the controller, and is indicated by a digital counter which is geared to the rotors of control and resolver synchros, so that they produce a corresponding signal. The signal is compared with the pressure altitude signal. At predetermined values of rotor voltages of both synchros, two signals are produced and n. The sequence of alerting is shown at b of Fig. As an aircraft descends or climbs to the preselected altitude the difference signal is reduced, and the logic circuit so processes the input signals that, at a pre-set outer limit H 1 typically ft above or below preselected altitude, one signal activates the aural alerting device which remains on for two seconds; the annunciator light is also illuminated.
The light remains on until at a further pre-set inner limit H2 typically ft above or below preselected altitude, the second. As an aircraft approaches the preselected altitude, the synchro system approaches the 'null' position, and no further alerting takes place. If an aircraft should subsequently depart from the preselected altitude, the controller logic circuit changes the alerting sequence such that the indications correspond to those given during the approach through outer limit Hi, i.
Angle of attack The angle of attack AoA , or alpha a angle, is the angle between sensing the chord line of the wing of an aircraft and the direction of the relative airflow, and is a major factor in determining the magnitude of lift generated by a wing. Lift increases as a increases up to some critical value at which it begins to decrease due to separation of the slow-moving air the boundary layer from the upper surface of the wing, which, in turn, results in separation and turbulence of the main airflow.
The wing, therefore, assumes a stalled condition, and since it occurs at a particular angle rather than a particular speed, the critical AoA is also referred to as the stalling angle. The manner in which an aircraft responds as it approaches and reaches a stalled condition depends on many other factors, such as wing configuration, i. Other factors relate to the prevailing speed of an aircraft, which largely depends on engine power settings, flap angles, bank angles and rates of change of pitch.
The appropriate responses are pre-determined for each type of aircraft in order to derive specificaliy relevant procedures for recovering from what is, after all, an undesirable situation. An aircraft will, in its own characteristic manner, provide warning of a stalled condition, e. It is, therefore, necessary to provide a means whereby a can be sensed directly, and at some value just below that at which a stalled condition can occur it can provide an early warning of its onset.
Stall warning systems The simplest form of system, and one which is adopted in several types of small aircraft, consists of a hinged-vane-type senso. The vane is protected against ice formation by an internal heater element.
When a reaches that at which the warning unit has been preset. Control switches for normal operation and for testing are also provided in this unit. In larger tyges of aircraft.
Since the pitch attitude of an aircraft is also changed by the extension of its flaps. If the aircraft's attitude changes such that a increases. The circuit of a typical system is shown in basic form in Fig. When the aircraft is on the ground and electrical power is on..
Sensing relays and shock strut microswitches on the nose landing gear are included in the circuit of a system to permit operational change-over from ground to air. Stick-shaking is accomplished by a motor which is secured to a control column and drives a weighted ring that is deliberately unbalanced to set up vibrations of the column. In normal level flight conditions. The complete unit is accurately aligned by means of index pins at the side of the front fuselage section of an aircraft.
Sensor signals. It consists of a precision counter-balanced aerod namic.. The only signal now supplied to the amplifier and demodulator is the modified a signal.
The output is then supplied to a demodulator whose circuit is designed to 'bias off the ac voltage from the contacts of K 1. The demodulator then produces a resultant voltage which triggers the switch SS 1 to connect a 28 V de supply direct to the stick-shaker motor. V to the circuit module amplifier.
Bias of! In normal flight. During take-off. When such aircraft first get into a stalled condition then. The positions are: The comparator is also supplied with signals from a central processor unit also within the module which processes a programme to determine maximum a angles based on the relationship between flap position and three positions of the leading edge slats.
If the latter is higher than a computed maximum. The manner in In certain types of aircraft the sensor signals are transmitted to an air data computer. A confidence check on system operation may be carried out by placing the circuit module control switch in the 'TEST' position. This energizes a relay which switches the sensor signal to the motor of an indicator. Since the switch isolates the sensor circuit from the amplifier.
In order to prevent the development of a deep stall situation. The aircraft then sinks rapidly in the deep Slalled attitude. In aircraft having computerized flight control systems. When selected for installation. Whenever stick-push is activated. Another type of indicator currently in use has a pointer which is referenced against horizontal yellow.
In some cases a conventional pointer and scale type of display is used.
Indicators are connected to the alpha sensors of a stall warning system. Indicators There is no standard requirement for angle of attack indicators to be installed in aircraft.
In the more sophisticated types of aircraft. The field differs from that of an ordinary magnet in several This partly explains the fact that the magnetic poles are relatively large areas. That this is so is obvious from the fact that a magne. A plane passing through the magnet and the centre of the earth would trace out on the earth's surface an imaginary line called the magnetic meridian as shown in Fig.
Terrestrial magnetism The surface of the earth is surrounded by a weak magnetic field which culminates in two internal magnetic poles situated near the North and South true or geographic poles. The origin of the earth's field is still not precisely known. The operating principle of a direct-reading compass is based on established fundamentals of magnetism. As far as present-day aircraft are concerned.
It would thus appear that the earth's magnetic field is similar to that which would be expected at the surface if a short but strongly magnetized bar magnet were located at the centre. Its points of maximum intensity. If a map were prepared to show both true and magnetic meridians.
The horizontal angle contained between the true and the magnetic meridian at any place is known as the magnetic variation or declination. Figure 3. Magnet'ic variation As meridians and parallels are constructed with reference to the true or geographic North and South pcles.. BB and CC are isoclinals. I Terrestrial magnetism. While the variation differs all over the world. At some places on the earth. The angle the lines of force make with the earth's surface at any Figure 3.
Roll attitude, or turn commands, are established in a similar manner, the command bars in this case being rotated in the required direction; diagram e of Fig. As the aircraft's attitude changes the aircraft symbolic element moves with the aircraft, while the horizon symbolic element and bank pointer are driven in the opposite direction.
When the command has been satisfied, the display will then be as shown in diagram c. The scales and pointers shown to the left and bottom of the indicator also form a director display that is utilized during the approach and landing sequence under the guidance of an Instrument Landing System.
Details of the operation of this display and of the second indicator involved in a Flight Director System will be given in Chapter 9. Electronic displays With the introduction of digital signal-processing technology into the field colloquially known as 'avionics', and its application of microelectronic circuit techniques, it became possible to make drastic changes to both quantitative and qualitative data display methods.
In fact, the stage has already been reached whereby many of the conventional 'clock' type instruments which, for so long, have performed a primary role in data display, can be replaced entirely by a microprocessing method of 'painting' equivalent data displays on the screens of cathode ray tube CRT display units. Table I. Liquid crystal Passive monitoring indicators; radio frequency selector indicators; distance measuring indicators; control display units of "menial navigation systems.
Electron CRT beam Active Weather radar indicators; display of navigational data; engine performance data: Display configurations Displays of the light-emitting diode and liquid crystal type are usually limited to applications in which a single register of alphanumeric values is required, and are based on what is termed a seven-segment matrix configuration or, in some cases, a dot matrix configuration. Examples of these alphanumeric displays are illustrated at b of Fig. In a dot matrix display the patterns generated for each individual character are made up of a specific number of illuminated dots arranged in columns and rows.
In the example shown at c of Fig. When current flows through the chip it emits light which is in direct proportion to the current flow. Light emission in different colours of the spectrum can, where required, be obtained by varying the proportions of the elements comprising the chip, and also by a technique of 'doping' with other elements, e. In a typical seven-segment display format it is usual to employ one LED per segment and mount it within a reflective cavity with a Figure 1.
Depending on the application and the number of digits comprising the appropriate quantitative display, independent digit packs may be used, or combined in a multiple digit display unit. LEDs can also be used in a dot-matrix configuration, and an example of this as applied to a type of engine speed indicator is shown in Fig.
Each dot making up the decimal numbers is an individual LED and they are arranged in a 9 x 5 matrix. The counter is of unique design in that its signal drive circuit causes an apparent 'rolling' of the digits which simulates the action of a mechanical drum-type counter as it responds to changes in engine speed. Liquid crystal display LCD. The basic structure of a seven-segment LCD is shown in Fig.
It consists of two glass plates coated on their inner surfaces with a thin film of transparent conducting material referred to as polarizing film such as indium oxide.
The material on the front plate is etched to form the seven segments, each of which forms an electrode. A mirror image is also etched into the oxide coating of the back glass plate, but this is not segmented since it constitutes a common return for all segments. The space between the plates is filled with a liquid crystal Figure 1.
Courtesy of Smith's Industries Ltd. Figure 1,16 Application of LCD. Magnitude of the optical change is basically a measure of the light reflected from, or transmitted through, the segment area to the light reflected from the background area.
Thus, unlike an LED, it does not emit light, but merely acts on light passing through it. Depending on polarizing film orientation, and also on whether the display is reflective or transmissive, the segments may appear dark on a light background as in the case of digital watches and pocket calculators or light on a dark background. An example of LCD application is shown in.
A head-up display HUD is one in which vital in-flight data are presented at the same level as a pilot's line of sight when he is viewing external references ahead of the aircraft, i. This display technique is one that has been in use for many years in military aviation, and in particular it has been essential for those aircraft designed for carrying out very high-speed low-level sorties over all kinds of terrain.
As far as civil aviation is concerned, HUD systems have been designed specifically for use in public transport category aircraft during the approach and landing phase of flight, but thus far it has been a matter of choice on the operators' part whether or not to install systems in their aircraft. This has resulted principally from the differing views held by operators, pilot representative groups, and aviation authorities on the benefits to be gained, notably in respect of a system's contribution to the landing of an aircraft, either automatically or manually, in low-visibility conditions.
The principle adopted in a HUD system is to display the required data on the face of a CRT and to project them through a collimating lens as a symbolic image on to a transparent reflector plate, such that the image is superimposed on a pilot's normal view, through the windscreen, of the terrain ahead.
The display is a combined alphanumeric and symbolic one, and since it is focused at infinity it permits simultaneous scanning of the 'outside world' and the display without refocusing the eyes.
The components of a typical system are shown in Fig. The first real attempt at establishing a standard method of grouping was the 'blind flying panel' or 'basic six' layout shown in Fig. As control of airspeed and altitude are directly related to attitude, the airspeed indicator, altimeter and vertical speed indicator flank the gyro horizon and support the interpretation of pitch attitude.
Changes in direction are initiated by banking an aircraft, and the degree of heading change is obtained from the direction indicator; this instrument therefore supports the interpretation of roll attitude Figure1. Boeing series aircraft. The turn-and-bank indicator serves as a secondary reference instrument for heading changes, so it too supports the interpretation of roll attitude.
With the development and introduction of new types of aircraft, and of more comprehensive display presentations afforded by the indicators of flight director systems, a review of the functions of certain of the instruments and their relative positions within the group resulted in the adoption of the 'basic T arrangement as the current standard As will be noted from diagram b of Fig. | aerospace |

I remember the wording clearly suggesting that this license was different than other flight license. Does anyone know how it did, or could have, differed?
Any other relevant history about cluster ballooning is also appreciated.
The license required for operating a manned free balloon would be a "Lighter-than-air, Balloon" license (as opposed to a "regular" license, which is usually thought of as being for "regular" Airplanes - the kind that take off and land using runways, as opposed to lakes).
Cluster balloons are, for all regulatory purposes, just "balloons" - the only difference is rather than having one monolithic envelope filed with hot air like the balloons most of us are used to seeing they have a bunch of smaller envelopes, usually filled with helium.
An Airman Registry Search shows that there is one "John Ninomiya", with a commercial pilot's license for lighter-than-air balloons, which is consistent with what I'd expect.
A lot of the requirements for a private pilot license in balloons are similar to what you need to do to get a private pilot license in an airplane - for example you still need to learn the same regulatory environment, you'll learn to read the same charts, you'll cover flight planning and weather, etc.
The differences are that you'll be learning balloon systems rather than aircraft systems, and the experience requirements under FAR 61.109 are pretty radically different because of the fact that balloon flying is pretty radically different from flying around in an airplane.
You can peruse Part 61 of the FARs for all the specific details on training requirements for lighter-than-air balloon pilot certificates - Subpart E (Private Pilots) is probably where you want to look.
John Ninomiya discusses his experience with developing this new style of ballooning on his Cluster Ballooning website.

Today we are pleased to announce that the Fokker F. VII aircraft, the second in our “Local Legends” series, is now available at Microsoft Flight Simulator! The series celebrates the history of aviation and these releases always coincide with World Updates. Local Legends are aircraft that are locally famous but may not be as well known to a global audience.
The F.VII, manufactured by Fokker in the Netherlands, is one of the great legends in aviation history. This great little plane made major advances during the golden age of aviation in the 1920s and 1930s due to its ruggedness, reliability, power, and payload capacity. The F.VII, which first took to the air on November 24, 1924 and was introduced to the public in 1925, served the early aircraft industry by transporting cargo, airmail, and as a scout craft.
Originally designed as a single-engine aircraft, the high-wing F.VII was manufactured primarily as a tri-engine, powered by three Wright J-6 Whirlwind 9-cylinder radial engines rated at 300 horsepower each. With a range of 750 miles, a cruise speed of 111 mph, and a takeoff and landing run of just under 750 feet, the F.VII proved ideal for numerous scenarios.
Capable of carrying up to 8 passengers, a total of almost 2,300kg of cargo, or a combination of both, the Fokker F.VII made its name on a number of key airmail, passenger and cargo routes. The F.VII was also the aircraft of choice for various explorers on expeditions across continents, oceans, and adventures in polar regions or other uncharted places on the planet. The Fokker F.VII is a wonderful iconic icon from the early days of the world of aviation; one that still captures the imagination of aviation lovers and keeps a great legacy alive.
The Fokker F.VII package includes:
The famous Southern Cross it is the Fokker F.VIIb/3m aircraft that completed one of aviation’s greatest firsts, crossing the Pacific Ocean: 11,670 km from Oakland, California, to Brisbane, Australia. Nine days after starting, while battling storms, exhaustion and equipment malfunctions, the four drivers arrived in Brisbane, in Queensland, Australia.
To cross the Pacific, aviators flew the aircraft Southern Cross on a route that took them first to Hawaii, then an incredible 5,000km, 34-hour stretch of the journey to Fiji – the first time a plane had landed on the island – and finally to Brisbane. Historians say that success was due to both the Southern Cross and its four pilots.
Friendship is the Fokker F.VIIb/3m that crossed the Atlantic Ocean in June 1928 with legendary aviator Amelia Earhart as a passenger. The tri-engine plane took just over 20 hours to cross, starting at Trepassey Harbour, Newfoundland, and landing at Burry Port, Wales. This flight of the high-wing monoplane secured a place in history for the Fokker F.VII line of aircraft as one of the true giants of early aviation.
Josephine Ford was a Fokker F.VIIa/3m piloted by Richard Evelyn Byrd on his daring expedition to the North Pole on May 9, 1926. At that time in history, the North Pole had never been reached by aircraft. While doubts remain about the success of the attempt, it remains one of the great adventures of early aviation, proving that the Fokker F.VIIa/3m trimotor would become one of the icons of the golden age of aviation. the aviation.
The Fokker F.VIIa is a single-engine monoplane manufactured by the Dutch aviation company Fokker. The F.VIIa, was one of the first passenger aircraft in the world. It was slightly larger than the original F.VII and also featured a number of technical improvements, including a heated cabin. The aircraft, which could carry up to eight passengers or 800 kg of cargo, made its maiden flight on March 12, 1925. A total of 36 F.VIIa units were manufactured and became an integral part of various airlines with routes throughout Europe and in many other parts of the world.
The Fokker F.VII proved to be an aircraft of great historical significance for the Dutch airline KLM during its early years. The first F.VII, painted in KLM’s distinctive blue livery, was delivered to the airline in 1924 by Anthony Fokker. This aircraft was used on the first flight from the Netherlands to the Dutch East Indies. The F.VII allowed the airline to flourish and laid the foundation for what would become one of the world’s leading airlines.
The Fokker F.VII aircraft have been carefully recreated to Microsoft Flight Simulator, paying particular attention to the finer details of both the exterior and interior. To celebrate and appreciate the achievements of the brave aviators of the 1920s, the package also includes the historic Southern Cross, Josephine Ford and Friendship missions.
The Fokker F.VII package is now available in the Marketplace of Microsoft Flight Simulator. Microsoft Flight Simulator is available now on Xbox Series X|S and PC with Xbox Game Pass, PC Game Pass, Windows 10/11 and Steam. Find it in the Microsoft Store (Argentina, chili, Colombia Y Mexico).

The takeoff of Solar Impulse 2, which was delayed yesterday due to high winds, would cap 13 years of research and testing by Swiss pilots Andre Borschberg and Bertrand Piccard.
“This project is a human project, it is a human challenge,” Borschberg, co-founder and chief executive of Solar Impulse who will fly the plane on the first leg, told reporters today.
The wingspan of the one-seater plane, known as the Si2, is slightly bigger than that of a jumbo jet, but its weight is around that of a family car.
It will take off from Abu Dhabi on Monday at 6:30 am local time, landing first in Muscat, Oman.
From there, it will make 12 stops on an epic journey spread over five months, with a total flight time of around 25 days.
It will cross the Arabian Sea to India before heading on to Myanmar, China, Hawaii and New York.
Landings are also earmarked for the midwestern United States and either southern Europe or North Africa, depending on weather conditions.
The longest single leg will see a lone pilot fly non-stop for five days across the Pacific Ocean between Nanjing, China and Hawaii, a distance of 8,500 kilometres.
Borschberg and Piccard will alternate turns at the controls because the plane can hold only one person.
All this will happen without burning a drop of fuel.
“We want to share our vision of a clean future,” said Piccard, chairman of Solar Impulse.
“Climate change is a fantastic opportunity to bring in the market new green technologies that save energy, save natural resources of our planet, make profit, create jobs, and sustain growth.”
The pilots’ idea was ridiculed by the aviation industry when it was first unveiled. | aerospace |

The Soyuz rocket is rolled out to the launch pad by train, on Sunday, Oct. 21, 2012, at the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan. NASA's Kevin Ford and Russian astronauts Oleg Novitsky and Yevgeny Tarelkin will blast off Tuesday, Oct. 23, 2012, from the Russian-leased facility in southern Kazakhstan and will spend around six months on the orbiting laboratory.
BAIKONUR, Kazakhstan — A U.S. astronaut departing this week for the International Space Station said Monday that the bulk of the scientific benefits from the orbiting laboratory will be seen over the coming decade, amid questions on whether the estimated $100 billion spent in last 12 years is worth the effort.
"The first ten years were really intensive in the construction side of it, bringing all the pieces together and really getting the science enabled," said NASA astronaut Kevin Ford, who will blast off on a Soyuz craft from the Russian-leased Baikonur spacer center in Kazakhstan on Tuesday together with Russian colleagues Oleg Novitsky and Yevgeny Tarelkin.
Portland, Indiana-born Ford said the station would now enter its "utilization phase."

The Soyuz rocket is erected into position after being rolled out to the launch pad by train, on Sunday, Oct. 21, 2012, at the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan. NASA's Kevin Ford and Russian astronauts Oleg Novitsky and Yevgeny Tarelkin will blast off Tuesday, Oct. 23, 2012, and will join U.S. astronaut Sunita Williams, Russia's Yuri Malenchenko and Aki Hoshide of Japan's JAXA agency.
"We're going to learn the bulk of everything we know about the science that we're doing up there in the next decade," he said at a press conference on the eve of the launch. He spoke from behind a glass screen designed to ensure the astronauts do not contract illnesses before their mission.
Of the three men departing Tuesday, only Ford has spent any time in orbit. He spent two weeks in space as pilot of the space shuttle Discovery in 2009 on a mission to transport scientific equipment to the ISS.
The U.S. space program has been in a vulnerable position since the decommissioning of the U.S. Shuttle fleet in 2011, which left Russia's Soviet-designed Soyuz craft as the only means for international astronauts to reach the space station.
Earlier this month, California-based SpaceX successfully delivered a half-ton of supplies craft called Dragon to the ISS, the first official shipment under a $1.6 billion contract with NASA. The contract calls for 12 such shipments.
Ford said private companies like SpaceX and Virginia-based Orbital Sciences Corp., whose Cygnus cargo vehicle is scheduled for its first trip to the ISS in December, would ensure the sustainability of the lab over the coming decade and enable new exploration.
"These companies out there are themselves learning a lot about getting to and from low-earth orbit and picking up that task so that NASA can indeed begin to concentrate on things out of earth orbit and going out further into our solar system," Ford said.
His remarks echo a statement to Congress in September by William Gerstenmaier, NASA's associate administrator for space operations.

Gerstenmaier said commercial transportation would enable the United States to fly its own astronauts to and from the International Space Station, "end our sole reliance on foreign governments" and allow for the expansion of the full-time crew to seven from six.
The incoming Dragon held 1,000 pounds (453 kilograms) of groceries, clothes, science experiments and other gear. It is to depart with almost twice that much cargo at the end of the month. Dragon is the only cargo ship capable of bringing back research and other items, filling a void left by NASA's retired shuttles.
The departure of the Dragon and a spacewalk to carry out repair operations on the station will be among the first operations to be handled by the incoming team.
"We really face a lot of tasks that we'll concentrate on right off the bat when we get aboard," Ford said. "After the spacewalk comes down, hopefully we'll have a little time to catch our breath."
U.S. astronaut Sunita Williams, Russia's Yuri Malenchenko and Aki Hoshide of Japan, who have been at the ISS since mid-July, are scheduled to return to earth next month.
Another multinational three-man crew with astronauts from the United States, Canada and
Russia will set off from Baikonur in late December to take their place.
"Christmas Day ... has already been cancelled because we'll be having a Soyuz arriving aboard with our crewmates," Ford said. "Perhaps when they arrive it will be like Santa Claus arriving and bringing us gifts from earth." | aerospace |

The first order of the Turkish military was for 160 F-16s build under Peace Onyx I. These aircraft were to be build to block 30 standards. The first aircraft delivered to 141 Filo were of this block 30 version. After airframe no. 43, the production was shifted to the block 40 version. All delivered aircraft to 141 Filo were rotated with 142 Filo so the squadron could receive the newer block, with more advanced weapons at its disposal.
The F-16 replaced the F-104G Starfighter, as in most European NATO countries. The mission of the squadron thus was air defence as primary role, with a secondary attack role. This did not change with the introduction of the F-16. It was just replacing an obsolete aircraft with a newer one with more capabilities. Besides this task, they alos have a dedicated strike role. Nuclear weapons are stored at Incirlik AB and the squadron is relocated there in case of such an emergency.

Since a number of years, all F-16s squadrons within the Turkish air force are multi-role. This means they can handle all missions, but are specialised in one. With the CCIP program – which will start in 2009 – the aircraft will get an upgrade which will prolong their service life and introduce a completely new block 50 cockpit and advanced electronics.
With the delivery of the brand-new block 50 airframes in 2011-2012, 141 Filo was the second unit to convert to these new airframes. The older block 40 airframes are dispersed throughout the other block 40 squadrons within the TuAF to get them back to full airframe capacity. | aerospace |

Welcome to Benelux Air Policing!
Across Europe, NATO fighter jets are on duty around the clock, ready to scramble in case of suspicious or unannounced flights near the airspace of our Allies. NATO calls this activity Air Policing, which has been an integral part of NATO Integrated Air and Missile Defence for 60 years. In this series, we’ll explore NATO’s five special air policing arrangements to ensure the integrity of NATO’s airspace and the defence of our almost one billion citizens.
In the Western European countries of Belgium, the Netherlands and Luxembourg, keeping the skies safe is a team effort. In an arrangement known as Benelux Air Policing, the Belgian and Dutch Air Forces trade responsibility for patrolling the skies over the three countries.

At least 10 of the missile officers reprimanded and forced into retraining at Minot Air Force Base, N.D., have been cleared for duty, with the others “progressing very well” through the program, Air Force Chief of Staff Gen. Mark Welsh said.
In April, the 91st Missile Wing at Minot removed 17 officers from duty after the Minuteman III wing earned the equivalent of a “D” during an inspection, with another two later taken off watch after the wing went through additional testing, evaluation and commander assessment, Global Strike Command spokeswoman Michele Tasista said. Six of the officers have finished retraining and were reinstated as of May 31.
Sixteen of the 19 are expected to be recertified and return to alert duty by June 4. The last three will recertify at a later date that has not been determined, Tasista said.
“The leadership at Minot is very happy with how that is going so far,” Welsh said. “They’re very happy with the effort that the crews who are in the retraining process have put into this.”
The steps taken to return the officers to duty included requalification training, a qualification evaluation and emergency war order and weapon system certification briefings. In addition to the retraining, some officers were disciplined. The wing currently has another seven officers decertified for issues not related to the inspection, Tasista said.
The Minot crew performed a test launch May 22 of an unarmed Minuteman III missile from Vandenberg Air Force Base, Calif. The launch went “exceedingly well,” Welsh said.
In mid-May, Air Force Global Strike Command held a commandwide exercise that included no-notice inspections on all of the command’s missile units. The inspections “all went very well,” Welsh said. | aerospace |

This agreement, valued at some US $ 82 million, has been inked in Algiers in the presence of Mr. Amar Tou, Algeria’s Minister of Transports.
Deliveries of the aircraft will take place in 2010. These 4 ATR 72-500s, configured with 66 seats, will be equipped with Pratt & Whitney 127M engines as well as the latest technological innovations in navigational aids and communication instruments.
With these new aircraft, Air Algérie, whose fleet already includes 8 ATR 72-500s, will be able to offer its passengers an optimized service, in particular increasing its flight frequencies and opening new routes inside the country and to neighboring countries.
Also, within the framework of creating a training center by Air Algérie, ATR will assist in the installation, start-up and operation of a new flight simulator.
Commenting on this signature, Abdelwahid Bouabdallah, President and Managing Director of Air Algérie, declared, "Air Algérie has operated ATRs since 2003, and is satisfied. The 4 additional ATRs reinforce the uniformity of our fleet dedicated to the domestic network." In addition, he added, "Thanks to these new aircraft we consolidate our position amongst the most modern airlines on the continent, with one of the youngest fleets. The ATRs allow us to open up regions not able to receive our other types of aircraft. We are therefore doubly satisfied to be able to provide high-quality public service and coverage over all the national territory". Abdelwahid Bouabdallah also underlined "the high quality of assistance offered by ATR, which will allow us an optimal commissioning and use of our new training facilities".
"We are very happy to receive the renewal of the confidence of Air Algérie, a highly respected company that we are proud to count amongst our operators", declared Stéphane Mayer, Chief Executive Officer of ATR. "This renewed confidence shows the point to which ATRs are perfectly adapted to Air Algérie’s requirements for getting an optimal operation of its domestic and regional network. Thanks to the low cost per seat and of maintenance, ATRs remain the best placed aircraft to enable airlines to operate the most profitably". He concluded, "We are also very satisfied with the confidence of our customers in the Mediterranean basin, where this year we have booked orders for a dozen aircraft. This enables us to consolidate our strong presence in the region, where we currently have some twenty aircraft in operation".

Raymer, Ph.D.
In his monthly column, Peter Garrison of Flying Magazine recommended it as the best book for learning how to design an airplane. The book is in university use throughout the world, and is also a favorite of practicing design engineers who find it a trusty reference for a wide range of design information. As one measure of its utility and acceptance - well-worn copies are commonly seen at designers' desks and in government aerospace offices.
AIAA's Editorial Echoes column did an interesting interview with Daniel Raymer about the writing of the book and the award of the AIAA Summerfield Book Award.
"Thumbs up on an excellent book. Wish I had it as an undergrad." Greg Marien, Northrop Grumman Unmanned Systems
"It's truly a treasure trove of information on Aircraft Design." Chung Wang Cheung, Airbus Helicopters Hong Kong
"I have two copies of your book Aircraft Design: A Conceptual Approach. I keep one here and one at my home engineering office. I use it on every new design I work on." August Bellanca, designer of the AviaBellanca Skyrocket and son of aviation pioneer Giuseppe Bellanca.
"...thank you for your aircraft design book. Being an aerospace engineering student it helps me a lot in my studies. Although our instructor insists on another book, which is really boring, almost 95 percent of our design class use your book." (name withheld for obvious reasons!)
AIRCRAFT DESIGN: A Conceptual Approach is a thousand pages of design methods, illustrations, tips, explanations and equations, and has useful appendices with the key data required by designers. This fifth edition is enhanced in many areas, and now includes Dr. Raymerís advice on how to become an aircraft designer, the design of Electric aircraft including batteries, fuel cells, and solar cells, plus the design of Green Airplanes including biofuels, GTL, hydrogen, methane, and nuclear. Material is added on the Active Aeroelastic Wing technology and the design of advanced tailless concepts. The text itself is extensively re-written and includes enhanced learning materials including chapter opening summaries with set-the-stage art, descriptive sidebar definitions and tips, and what-we-learned chapter wrap-ups.
There is also an all-new, Windows based version of the RDS-Student aircraft design software which complements the text, automating the tedious analysis tasks allow the students to spend more time learning the concept and philosophy of aircraft design. Click here for more information.

Celebrating its 77th anniversary this year, the Breitling DC-3 landed in Seletar Airport Singapore on April 3 as part of its record-breaking world tour aiming to become the oldest airplane to circumnavigate the globe.
To commemorate the arrival of this legendary plane, two fire engines welcomed the aircraft with a special water cannon salute arranged by the Changi Airport Group. The Breitling DC-3 is the first aircraft to receive this honour at the Seletar Airport.
The following day members of the media and esteemed guests joined in the adventure on a 20 minute scenic flight around Singapore, crossing the straits of Johor Malaysia, from a low cruising altitude of 1,500 ft.
The Breitling DC-3 world tour took to the skies on March 9 , seventy-seven years to the day since its maiden flight. Departing from Breitling’s home country of Switzerland, the plane will visit 28 countries and 55 cities over six months, and will return to Switzerland for the Breitling Sion Airshow 2017 in September. Singapore is its 13th stop, after encompassing the Balkans, the Middle East, India and South-East Asia (Thailand, Malaysia).
To celebrate the world tour, Breitling is introducing a 500-piece limited edition of its famous Navitimer aviation chronograph. This steel Navitimer 01 (46 mm), powered by Manufacture Breitling Caliber 01, will notably be distinguished by its caseback engraved with the Breitling DC-3 World Tour logo. Enthusiasts will have to wait until the fall of 2017 to get their hands on this model – all 500 pieces will travel aboard the DC-3 around the planet, thus ensuring that they are truly part of the entire adventure. Each watch will be delivered with a certificate signed by the flight captain.
The first Douglas DC-3 (DC for Douglas Commercial) twin-engine propeller plane made its maiden flight in 1935, at a time when Breitling had introduced its first on-board chronographs for civilian and military aircraft.
Nicknamed the “Normandy landings plane”, the DC-3 seats 20 passengers and has a cruising speed of 241km/h (130 knots). More than 16,000 DC-3 aircraft were built and most major airlines acquired them as part of their fleet. Today there are fewer than 150 DC-3 aircraft in flightworthy condition worldwide, including the Breitling DC-3, which itself flew for the first time in 1940. It now flies under Breitling colours and participates in a variety of air shows around the globe.
Breitling’s objective in organising the Breitling DC-3 World Tour is once again to share its passion for aeronautics with a vast audience around the globe.
A specialist of technical watches, Breitling has played a crucial role in the development of the wrist chronograph and is a leader in this complication. The firm has shared all the finest moments in the conquest of the skies thanks to its sturdy, reliable and high-performance instruments. One of the world’s only major watch brands to equip all its models with chronometer-certified movements, the ultimate token of precision, Breitling is also one of the rare companies to produce its own mechanical chronograph movements, entirely developed and manufactured in its own workshops. This family business is also one of the last remaining independent Swiss watch brands. | aerospace |

Danger is present not only in flights, but also in sailing on a ship, driving a car / riding a motorcycle. There are certain rules i.e. safety rules and operational characteristics of an aircraft. If you do not violate these rules, if you do not fly in critical modes, then the degree of risk is very small.
How to transport a trike?
It all depends on the size. Some trikes can fit in the trunk of the car, but more often a trailer is required. The wing is folded into a package 2 - 4 meters long.
What is the normal length of the runway for a trike?
Of course, the more, the better, but 100-150 m should be enough for take-off and landing. Absence of obstacles is the most important thing after takeoff when climbing and before landing during gliding.
What is the average duration of flight on a trike?
The duration of a flight is largely conditioned by the capacity of fuel tanks and a cargo carried by a trike. On average, 10 litres of fuel is enough for an hour of flight, but this depends on the type of engine. The capacity of the gas tank is 20-50 litres. You can fly together with another person, or alone with an additional fuel tank. The design features of a trike and a payload carried, as well as the speed, i.e. the engine operating mode (fuel consumption) will determine the duration of your flight.
How far can you fly on a trike?
Due to the fact that a horizontal flight depends on the thrust of the engine, the range is determined by the fuel supply on board. The range of the flight is also significantly affected by the headwind/tailwind. If you have 30 litres in the tank, then the average flight will last 3 hours, and at an average speed of 70 km/h in calm the flight range will reach 210 km. From calculations we remove the effect of takeoff weight and wind direction.
At what altitude does the trike fly?
As a rule, the altitude of a circle is 100 m; the altitude of flights in the zone (for making steeper turns, climbs and slides) reaches 200-300 m. If you want to set high-altitude records, you need a trike with a good/powerful engine. There was information that someone was climbing with a passenger for 4500 meters on the ROTAX-582 engine, with a capacity of 64 hp, but it's cold and tedious there.
At what speeds does a trike fly?
It depends on its flight performance. Usually its minimum speed is 45-55 km/h, and the maximum is 90-110 km/h respectively. Balance-speed means a flight that is done with the abandoned trapeze - an average of 55-70 km/h.
What fuel is used for trike engines?
Two-stroke engines require gasoline (76, 92, 95) and oil (special, for two-stroke engines), and alcohol in winter. Four-cylinder engines will need gasoline (92, 95). See engine specifications.
Can I perform aerobatics on a trike?
This question can be asked only by beginners or comers. For the performance of aerobatics, it is necessary to have a good knowledge of the aerodynamics and technical characteristics of the aircraft, flight experience. Conventional trikes can make a combat turn, turn with a roll, as well as, downward and upward spirals, eight, nose-diving, zooms. Any elements would require certain height margin!
How to learn to fly a trike?
Usually the training period is two months; everything depends on the intensity, and partly on the weather. The training program includes theory, ground-based training and flights. The training program involves 15 hours of flying time. The study in clubs where there is a tradition of flight safety is recommended. But it all depends on abilities.
How much is a trike?
See characteristics, service life, operating time. For how much you can buy or sell a trike - and for how much can you buy or sell a car? | aerospace |

Global Satellite Internet: The Risks of Cybersecurity Threats
- Global satellite internet has revolutionized connectivity, but it also poses significant cybersecurity risks.
- Cybersecurity threats in satellite internet systems can lead to data breaches, unauthorized access, and disruption of critical services.
- Weak encryption, vulnerable ground stations, and limited regulation contribute to the vulnerability of satellite internet networks.
- Governments, satellite operators, and cybersecurity experts must collaborate to address these risks and ensure the security of global satellite internet.
- Investing in robust cybersecurity measures, regular audits, and employee training can help mitigate the risks associated with satellite internet.
Global satellite internet has transformed the way we connect and communicate, bridging the digital divide and enabling access to information in even the most remote corners of the world. However, this technological advancement also brings with it a range of cybersecurity threats that can have far-reaching consequences. As more and more devices and services rely on satellite internet, it is crucial to understand and address the risks associated with this technology.
The Vulnerabilities of Global Satellite Internet
1. Weak Encryption:
One of the primary vulnerabilities of global satellite internet is weak encryption. Satellite signals can be intercepted and manipulated by cybercriminals, allowing them to gain unauthorized access to sensitive data. Weak encryption protocols make it easier for hackers to exploit vulnerabilities in the system and compromise the security of satellite networks.
According to a report by the European Space Agency (ESA), weak encryption is a significant concern in satellite communications. The report highlights the need for stronger encryption algorithms and protocols to protect against cyber threats.
2. Vulnerable Ground Stations:
Another area of concern is the security of ground stations that communicate with satellites. These stations are critical components of satellite internet infrastructure and are vulnerable to cyber attacks. A successful attack on a ground station can disrupt satellite communications, leading to service outages and potential data breaches.
A case study by the Center for Internet Security (CIS) found that many ground stations lack adequate security measures, making them easy targets for cybercriminals. The study emphasizes the need for robust security protocols and regular audits to identify and address vulnerabilities in ground station infrastructure.
3. Limited Regulation:
The global nature of satellite internet poses challenges in terms of regulation and oversight. Unlike traditional internet infrastructure, which is subject to national regulations, satellite internet operates across borders, making it difficult to establish consistent cybersecurity standards.
As a result, there is a lack of comprehensive regulations governing the security of satellite internet systems. This regulatory gap leaves satellite networks more susceptible to cyber attacks and increases the potential for unauthorized access to sensitive information.
4. Disruption of Critical Services:
The reliance on satellite internet for critical services such as telecommunications, banking, and emergency response systems makes it an attractive target for cybercriminals. A successful cyber attack on satellite internet infrastructure can disrupt these essential services, leading to significant economic and societal consequences.
A study conducted by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) highlights the potential impact of a cyber attack on satellite systems. The study estimates that a disruption of satellite communications could result in economic losses of up to $50 billion.
The Need for Collaboration and Mitigation Strategies
Addressing the cybersecurity risks associated with global satellite internet requires collaboration between governments, satellite operators, and cybersecurity experts. By working together, these stakeholders can develop and implement effective strategies to mitigate the vulnerabilities of satellite networks.
1. Investment in Cybersecurity:
Satellite operators must prioritize cybersecurity and invest in robust measures to protect their networks. This includes implementing strong encryption protocols, regularly auditing systems for vulnerabilities, and ensuring that ground stations have adequate security measures in place.
2. Regulatory Frameworks:
Governments and international organizations need to establish comprehensive regulatory frameworks to govern the security of satellite internet systems. These frameworks should include guidelines for encryption standards, security audits, and incident response protocols.
3. Employee Training:
Human error is often a significant factor in cybersecurity breaches. Satellite operators should provide comprehensive training to their employees to raise awareness about cybersecurity threats and best practices for mitigating them.
4. Collaboration with Cybersecurity Experts:
Cybersecurity experts play a crucial role in identifying vulnerabilities and developing effective mitigation strategies. Satellite operators should collaborate with these experts to conduct regular security assessments and implement necessary improvements.
Q1: What is global satellite internet?
A1: Global satellite internet is a technology that provides internet connectivity using satellites orbiting the Earth. It enables users to access the internet from anywhere, including remote areas without traditional internet infrastructure.
Q2: What are the risks of global satellite internet?
A2: The risks of global satellite internet include weak encryption, vulnerable ground stations, limited regulation, and the potential disruption of critical services.
Q3: How can satellite operators mitigate cybersecurity risks?
A3: Satellite operators can mitigate cybersecurity risks by investing in robust cybersecurity measures, implementing strong encryption protocols, conducting regular security audits, and providing employee training.
Q4: What role do governments play in addressing cybersecurity threats in satellite internet?
A4: Governments play a crucial role in establishing regulatory frameworks, collaborating with satellite operators and cybersecurity experts, and ensuring the security of satellite internet systems.
Q5: How can individuals protect themselves from cybersecurity threats in satellite internet?
A5: Individuals can protect themselves by using strong encryption protocols, keeping their devices and software up to date, and being cautious of suspicious emails or websites.
Global satellite internet has revolutionized connectivity, but it also brings significant cybersecurity risks. Weak encryption, vulnerable ground stations, limited regulation, and the potential disruption of critical services are among the key concerns. Addressing these risks requires collaboration between governments, satellite operators, and cybersecurity experts. By investing in robust cybersecurity measures, implementing comprehensive regulatory frameworks, and prioritizing employee training, we can ensure the security of global satellite internet and reap its benefits without compromising our digital safety. | aerospace |

The crew will bring back another astronaut who has been aboard the ISS for almost seven weeks.
NASA leaders said they will evaluate weather conditions at Kennedy before allowing the shuttle to return to Kennedy Space Center in the evening, when the astronauts will reunite with their families and undergo physical examinations.
The crew installed Dextre, a two-armed robotic system that repairs the space station, moves objects, and retrieves equipment. The robotic system looks like a human body and can turn at the "waist" and "shoulders," supporting arms and "hands" that can grip.
The "hands" have parallel retractable jaws and retractable motorized socket wrenches. They also have sensors that allow the robot to "feel" objects and react to movements. Each arm is 11.5 feet long with seven joints to provide a wide range of motion. The arms can handle up to 1,327 pounds.
The robot cannot move both arms at once. One arm must remain connected to the station while the other moves.
Dextre can use tools and work independently or alongside the astronauts to perform delicate tasks for crew members. The robot is equipped with lights, video equipment, and tool holders. The crew can view video to monitor the robot's progress. | aerospace |

Iwakuni Hydraulic System Failure 1958 by Larry Mickelsen
Iwakuni Hydraulic System Failure 195
by Larry Mickelsen
During our 1958 Iwakuni deployment, I was assigned to Crew Four. On one of our "tac" flights, just after takeoff, we had a hydraulic system failure. The pilot aborted our flight, called base, and they launched the wing ready crew. With our tanks full of fuel, we could not land immediately because the aircraft was too heavy. So we flew around for a while we burned off our fuel so we could get down to a safe landing weight.
To help burn the fuel down more quickly, we started our two "Westinghouse Defuelers" or J-34 jet engines. During our preparation for landing, because of the hydraulic system problem, the pilots couldn't get 30 degrees on the flaps, and the nose gear would not come all the way down. Luckily, The Tin Bender just happened to have a CASE of hydraulic oil on board ("for mamma" as he used to say). He took the hydraulic oil and added to the reservoir forward of the wing beam and as a result, we were able to get the nose gear down. Unfortunately, the nosewheel was turned to the left and it couldn't be straightened because it was hydraulically controlled.
Just before we landed, the pilot told us he was going to keep the nose up as we had no steering, but he forgot to tell the co-pilot not to push the stick forward on landing. We heard the tires squeak a few times and then they started to howl as the pilot pulled out the emergency brake. We ended up running off of the side of the runway. What made the landing really hairy was that we happened to be carrying a live torpedo and some MK-54 depth bombs.
When we got back to the squadron area, we were told that we had burned 16 of the 20 plies off of the tires and yet somehow they did not blow. | aerospace |

The trials of the single-stage, solid-propellant missile should take place in the forthcoming years. It would also be readied for exports to friendly foreign countries as its strike range is within the permissible limits of international regimes on missile sales.
The Pranash is an advanced version of the 150-km strike range Prahaar missile which was designed for tactical missions. The surface-to-surface ballistic missile will be of use for the Air Force and Army.
Prahaar was developed to provide a cost-effective, quick-reaction, all-weather, all-terrain, highly accurate battlefield support tactical weapon system. The development of the missile was carried out by the DRDO scientists in a span of less than two years. The maneuvering capability, greater acceleration, better accuracy and faster deployment fills the short-range tactical battlefield role as required by the Indian Army to take out strategic and tactical targets. The mobile launch platform carries six missiles that can be deployed in stand-alone and canisterised mode, which can have different kind of warheads meant for different targets and can be fired in salvo mode in all directions covering the entire azimuth plane. This solid-fueled missile can be launched within 2–3 minutes without any preparation, providing significantly better reaction time than liquid-fueled Prithvi ballistic missiles and act as a gap filler in the 150 km (93 miles) range, between the Pinaka Multi Barrel Rocket Launcher and Smerch MBRL in one end and the Prithvi ballistic missiles on the other. | aerospace |

Q & A
What drew you to aviation? My father was a United Airlines pilot that has always been active in general aviation. I was fortunate enough to begin flying at a very early age, and I always new I wanted to be a pilot.
How long have you been involved in aviation education? 15 years
What’s your favorite part of what you do in aviation education? Instructing in Very Light Jets exposes you to a unique type of student. Our students are typically successful business owners that have never before flown a jet. They are amazed that they actually get to fly a jet, but also are very overwhelmed at first. My favorite part of the training process is when the student recognizes that becoming a jet captain is attainable, and begins to make sound, safe, and conservative decisions with the aircraft.
What’s your least favorite part of what you do in aviation education? Our industry has not yet mandated post type-rating training (Mentoring) for people new to jets. When a Captain at an airline completes his or her type rating, they are required to complete 25 hours of training, in the actual aircraft, with a training captain. This type of training is essential in the VLJ’s, because the new jet pilot is exposed to a real life operational environment. Often times, a pilot comes from simulator training and does not recognize that completing mentoring with a qualified mentor pilot is essential.
Do you have a memorable aviation experience you’d like to share? I have been fortunate enough to train and complete my type rating with my father, Dominick Ruscitti, on the Embraer Phenom 100 and the Citation Mustang. He taught my how to fly when I was a teenager, and to be able to train with him has been an incredible experience.
Why did you join SAFE? Aviation is an amazing industry that is constantly evolving. The promotion of effective training and safety is essential. SAFE is an excellent organization that promotes these goals.
What would you like to see change in aviation? I would like the training requirements for VLJ’s to be increased. I believe that the type-rating process needs to be viewed as having two parts: the actual type rating, and mentoring. Mentor pilots must not be just pilots with type ratings. They need to be instructors with jet experience.
Any suggestions on how the above might be accomplished? Mentoring could be applied to all aircraft, not just VLJ’s. We, as a collective group, could encourage all students to train even after they complete their license or rating.

STARDUST Project Manager
Well the time is getting short. The final preparations
are moving along on the spacecraft. This week the Solar Array
Illumination and continuity check (to ensure light is being turned into
electricity and current is on all the lines) was completed and solar
array fold and close-out for flight initiated. Also, Multi-layer
Insulation (MLI) (thermal control stuff) closeout continued while the
solar arrays were open. The pre-fueling propulsion testing was
initiated with thruster functionals completed, tank pressurized, and
thruster and service valve leak checks completed. We are on track to load
propellant on the spacecraft Monday.
Launch Operations team members performed a "walkdown"
of the SLC-17A launch pad "white room" in preparation for the future move
of the spacecraft to the pad and final pad operations. The white room is
at the top of the gantry and is where technicians will hook up the
spacecraft with the umbilical cord to carry signals to our team during
the countdown. After all is in order the nose-cone fairings for the
Delta will be closed up around STARDUST to protect it until it is in
The Mission and Science News Press Briefing was held at NASA Headquarters
on Wednesday. The event was carried live on NASA TV and generated excellent
press interest. I hope a number of you got to see it. A number of stories ran
this week with more to come. Our Principal Investigator,
Don Brownlee, showed where the small silicon chip with so many of your
names etched is mounted. So for you "the crew" you are about to begin
your journey to the launch pad. We plan to mate the spacecraft with the
rocket's upper stage on January 25th and move out to the pad on the 28th.
Right now it's "All systems GO!!"

This stayed set up because of Apollo-Soyuz inside the 1975. There’s very little suggestions on exactly what photographs have been withheld over the years. Simultaneously, starting with Apollo six inside 1968 NASA had to submit the suggested photographic experiments into the intelligence providers prior to each purpose. And also this went on through Apollo-Soyuz in 1975. The fresh new intelligence firms sometimes implemented limits into advised studies, such as happening of Earth Terrain Digital camera persisted Skylab (File 26).
From the recommendations of one’s assistant out of county, this new interagency Federal Protection Step Memorandum 156 Committee checked NASA’s agreements to take visualize-building sensors throughout the Apollo Software System hence exceeded the fresh 20-meter limit (Document 27). Its July 1966 declaration reaffirmed the newest tech restrictions on the August 1965 NASA-NRO contract as well as recommended a very carefully treated area-founded remote feeling program by of many potential medical and political benefits.
Inside the Sep 1966, NASA therefore the DoD finalized the new “DOD-NASA Control of your own World Information Survey Program” observe NASA’s applications (File twenty-eight). The two committees mandated within the arrangement to do so was basically extremely mixed up in roughly couple of years it fulfilled, particularly the joint NASA-NRO Survey Applications Coordinating Committee (File 31).

NASA wanted to fly a plastic Aperture Radar (SAR) – the first one to be openly flown in proportions – towards the SEASAT-Good satellite arranged to have discharge when you look at the 1978. (The fresh new NRO had looked at an excellent SAR while in the late 1964 for the Investment QUILL. It apparently launched their earliest functional SAR satellite when you look at the 1988.) The new Combined Chiefs from Personnel figured the new SAR didn’t cover sensitive and painful innovation however, it can easily run security out-of U. Though NASA successfully opposed means that the uplinks and you will downlinks feel encoded to get rid of unauthorized explore, fundamentally it wanted to use an allowing/disabling equipment to take action, provide the new DoD 24-hours get better find away from imaging arrangements, and also to deal with limitations toward acquisition of photographs across the Us (Document 30).

By very early 70s, both committees mandated within the September 1966 DoD-NASA agreement to keep track of NASA’s remote feeling programs had been no more fulfilling – getting not familiar reasons. Consequently, the newest DoD, CIA, and you can NASA signed a contract within the Remark Board and two committees under they to perform such features (Document 32). Though handful of its suggestions is declassified, it would appear that they analyzed all the Insasse Dating-Seite wollen advised secluded feeling and you may other civil tests into the very early Shuttle missions (Document 33).

Our alliance with the nation’s space agency has continued for more than forty years.
Most recently, we partnered with the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), which manages NASA’s Mars Science Laboratory mission. We presented more than twenty live webcasts about the rover Curiosity, its extraordinary landing in August 2012, and its initial explorations of Mars. We also filmed behind the scenes at JPL, where the rover was built and tested. And JPL lent us a full-scale model of Curiosity for our visitors to check out.
The rich partnership between NASA and the Exploratorium is based on NASA’s appreciation of our ability to present science and their scientific missions in a way that is engaging and contributes to the public understanding of science. In exchange, NASA has given us virtually unrestricted access to their labs and scientists.
Other significant projects include the following:
- In partnership with NASA’s Sun-Earth Connection Education Forum, we presented a series of live solar eclipse, transit of Venus, and transit of Mercury webcasts, beginning with the pioneering 1998 eclipse webcast from Aruba. We won the People’s Voice award for our 2004 eclipse program from Turkey, and the American Association of Museums (AAM) gold award in the Community category for our 2008 webcast from the remote Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region in northwestern China.
- We also teamed up with the Sun-Earth Connection to visit two ancient observatories: Chaco Canyon in New Mexico in 2004 and Chichén Itzá on the Yucatán peninsula in 2005. We explored ancient knowledge about the sun and modern solar science.
- Our website Never Lost: Polynesian Navigation, which we produced with NASA and Hawaiian collaborators, is another culture-rich science site. It shows how the ancient Polynesians voyaged across vast expanses of open ocean without maps or compasses by relying on direct observation alone. It won the AAM silver MUSE award for Online Presence in 2011.
The strong relationship between NASA and the Exploratorium has resulted in lasting benefits for both organizations—the development of new public educational outreach activities by NASA, and the evolution of sophisticated, authentic media production by the Exploratorium. | aerospace |

GENI (Global Environment for Network Innovations) provides a virtual laboratory for networking and distributed systems research and education. More info available at: https://www.geni.net
Here is the abstract:
Abstract: Interplanetary Internet or Interplanetary Networking is envisaged as a space network which interconnects spacecrafts, satellites, rovers and orbiters of different planets and comets for efficient exchange of scientific data such as telemetry and images. In this paper, we implement a layout of the Interplanetary Internet (IPN) with the Interplanetary Overlay Network (ION) software module that uses Contact Graph Routing (CGR). The experiments are then implemented on the Global Environment for Network Innovations (GENI) testbed. Along with realistic contact plans (CP) of the nodes, this network implementation was used to run experiments testing the performance of Delay Tolerant Networking (DTN) with and without cross links between Mars orbiters. The experiments showed that in an Earth-Mars communication network using two Mars orbiters, allowing cross links between the orbiters results in increasing the amount of data transferred by roughly 9.2%. Data sent from Mars Rover to the Earth stations also increases by 35.7% when a third satellite (Mars Express) was added to the network without cross links. Finally, when cross links are allowed across all satellites orbiting Mars and serving as relay nodes between the Earth stations and Mars rover, the communication was enhanced by almost 46%. We conclude that by adding cross links, the performance of the network is enhanced for a better transmission of data from Mars to the Earth, which is very pertinent for the scalability of the network. | aerospace |

The Turkish Aerospace Industry (TAI) announced on Friday that the first indigenous multirole utility helicopter, Gokbey, will undertake full-scale static testing (FSST), which enables original products to test critical parts before performing flight activities.
The Gokbey is the country’s first indigenous new generation multirole helicopter, a twin-engine, six-ton class helicopter designed in response to growing market demand.
According to a statement issued by the TAI, the company will continue to work within the framework of the National Technology Move.
Turkeys 1st indigenous utility helicopter Gokbey to go full-scale testing
With the Gokbey helicopter, which is subjected to full-scale static testing, the company will not only perform the biggest test in the company’s history in terms of volume but also will mark a first for the country.
The entire helicopter body will be loaded, and 96 control channels will be used to perform full-scale static testing of its critical parts. Sensor data from approximately 2,000 channels will be acquired during the test, which will involve 32 separate testing scenarios, the statement said.
The data collected will be analyzed by extracting structural strain maps from its body.
At the end of the tests, the structural strength limits of the helicopter fuselage will be revealed, and the safe flight and certification processes will be initiated.
The Gokbey Project’s tests started with four engineers in 2014, and have since grown eightfold to 32 engineers and technicians by 2021.
The facility is equipped with world-class equipment and infrastructure has a closed area of 3, 200 square meters, and can perform 60 different tests at 60 different stations at the same time when working at full capacity.

That means the journey is shorter than a regular Moscow to London flight. The three vacationers took off from a launch website in Kazakhstan simply earlier than midday native time on Wednesday, using aboard a Soyuz spacecraft. They are anticipated to dock on the ISS in report time beneath the brand new flight plan.Later within the day, the Soyuz capsule carrying the house trio safely docked on the ISS. Russia’s Roscosmos company celebrated the expedited mission’s success, importing pictures that confirmed the spacecraft approaching the station’s port at minimal pace. “Contact and capture!” it wrote on Twitter.The MS-17 mission made it to the ISS in record-breaking time, Roscosmos stated.Contact and seize! #SoyuzMS17 crewed spacecraft docked efficiently to the Russian section of the International Space Station, for the primary time in historical past making it in simply two orbits across the Earth!Welcome to the ISS, @KudSverchkov, Sergey and Kate! pic.twitter.com/dGElJsCQxJ— РОСКОСМОС (@roscosmos) October 14, 2020In the meantime, Russian cosmonaut Ivan Vagner captured the MS-17 launch from aboard the ISS. The lift-off was completely seen from above, with the rocket leaving a path of white smoke on its technique to house. The “ultrafast” rendezvous scheme requires solely two orbits round Earth earlier than the craft catches up with the station, chopping travel time in half in comparison with the earlier technique, which itself improved on an excellent older mannequin that took over two days. Though the brand new flight path debuts on this mission, it has been vetted in unmanned assessments with a resupply craft.The journey is led by Russian commander Sergey Ryzhikov, joined by flight engineers Sergey Kud-Sverchkov – additionally a Russian – and Kathleen Rubins of America’s house company NASA.

B. Cooper and Andreas Lubitz
'One day, I'll do something that will change the system, and then everyone will know my name and remember it.'
The same question is everyone’s mind: Why would a young pilot cause the tragic end of 149 innocent people? The black box, Andreas Lubitz’s psychological reports, ongoing investigation may not be enough to explain his terrorist massacre. There should be a deeper motivation beneath Lubitz’s depression.
'One day, I'll do something that will change the system, and then everyone will know my name and remember it.'
Above are supposedly the words of Pilot Lubitz according to the statement of his ex-girlfriend. This clue might be the connection between Lubitz and mysterious hijacker D. B. Cooper.
Everybody who works in aviation business knows the legendary story of only hijacker who is not caught in American history. In November 1971, Cooper hijacked a Boeing 727 aircraft which left from Portland, Oregon to Seattle, Washington. He extorted $200,000 in ransom (equivalent to $1,160,000 in 2015), and parachuted to an uncertain fate. Despite an extensive manhunt and an ongoing FBI investigation, the perpetrator has never been located or positively identified.
In short, after Cooper got the money, he jumped from the rear of the airplane with an amateur parachute. Cooper’s successful hijack got Boeing engineers to make some changes on the tail hatch of the airplanes. An aerodynamic wedge was built to lock the rear exit when the Boeing is in the air. This important part of the airplane is called as Cooper Vane after the famous hijacker.
As a result of these, Andreas may have been inspired by D. B. Cooper, too. Some of the keywords told by his ex-girlfriend are remarkable. He wanted to make a change in the system and to be remembered. There is no doubt that even though a hijacker is the nightmare of every flight attendant, D. B. Cooper is the only criminal who has been secretly admired by every pilot.
Moreover, Andreas Lubitz did not commit this crime because of an instantaneous decision. There are evidences which prove that this crash was planned and played in his mind long time ago. For example, Pilot Lubitz seized the perfect opportunity to be left alone in the cockpit. And why didn’t he try to crash the airplane when the Captain Pilot was also in the cockpit?
The reason is Lubitz wanted to mark his name in aviation regulations just like D. B. Cooper. After the crash of Germanwings Flight 9525, the authorities noticed the security gap in the list of regulations. In less than 48 hours, many airway companies introduced the new procedure which require minimum two people in the cockpit at all times. Until this crash, only trusted individuals on the airplanes were the pilots. Not anymore…
Unfortunately, Andreas Lubitz saw this gap in the regulations before the authorities did. He thought this new procedure would be named after him. If his only intention was to kill himself and as many people as possible, why didn’t he try to crash the airplane in an urban area? Because, this time the captain pilot would definitely be in the cockpit during landing and take off. He could’ve still managed his terrible plan, but this story would not fit into the gap of the aviation regulations. He had to be alone to show the security breach in the regulations.
So, the link between D. B. Cooper and Andreas Lubitz is EGO.

The company says its first shipment of 2,300 face shields, manufactured using its 3-D printing capabilities in Puget Sound and other locales across the United States, was handed over to the Department of Health and Human Services today.
In a news release, Boeing said the Federal Emergency Management Agency will deliver the shields to the Kay Bailey Hutchinson Convention Center in Dallas, which has been turned into a treatment site for COVID-19 patients. Medical professionals will use the shields as part of their personal protection equipment.
In addition to the shields, Boeing has donated tens of thousands of masks, gloves and other equipment to hospitals in need.
The face shield production operation was worked out by employees from Boeing Additive Manufacturing, Boeing Research & Technology, Boeing Supply Chain, Boeing HorizonX and Boeing Defense, Space & Security. Hospitals, universities and the Accenture professional services company helped lay the groundwork.
Boeing partnered with Design That Matters, a nonprofit group based in Redmond, Wash., to design the face shields, which consist of a 3-D printed frame with an adjustable headband.
One of Boeing’s suppliers, Solvay, is providing the clear sheets of plastic that are snapped onto the frame to protect the face. Another longtime supplier, Trelleborg Sealing Solutions, is donating the straps needed for the adjustable headband.
Frames are produced at additive manufacturing facilities in Puget Sound as well as at other Boeing sites in Alabama, Arizona, California, Missouri, Oregon, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Texas and Utah. Boeing’s Argon ST subsidiary in Pennsylvania is also participating in the project. Boeing gave the go-ahead for participation by some of the sites where regular operations have been suspended, and more sites will join the list as additional 3-D printing capability is identified.
The components for the face shields are shipped to the Boeing site in St. Louis, where they’re assembled and packaged for shipping.
“We’ve got a special product here to help take care of the men and women out there in the medical industry,” Sean Thuston, a machinist at Boeing Research & Technology, said in a video about the project. “If we can do our part to keep them safe, then that’s good enough for us.”
Howard Rolleston, who heads an additive manufacturing team in Philadelphia, said “people have been coming out of the woodwork” to volunteer for the operation.
“They’ve been fantastic. Everyone has been working together,” he said.
Some of the volunteers have a personal interest in seeing the operation succeed. “The daughter of one of my co-workers is working as a triage nurse helping people who are getting infected with the coronavirus,” Rolleston said. | aerospace |

The ideas sounded utopian. Past satellite internet efforts had failed. The leading firms (like OneWeb) were mostly unknown. Elon Musk has lots of detractors.
But three recent events have moved the topic of satellite internet from “speculative” to “probable” in many people’s minds.
First, OneWeb raised $1.25 billion in its current round of funding, a number hard to ignore. OneWeb has raised $3.4 billion to date.
Second, Amazon announced plans to launch a constellation of 3,236 internet satellites. Amazon has the technical acumen, resources, and (relatively soon) launch resources to be taken very seriously.
Finally, SpaceX announced that its first launch of Starlink Satellites will include 60 prototypes – a number two or three times higher than most anticipated for a single launch. The satellites are stacked on top of each other like cassettes (see photo above). Gwynne Shotwell, CEO of SpaceX, says that there will be up to six additional Starlink launches just this year.
There is a major race underway to essentially rebuild the internet in space. Most attention to this point is focused on the technology and economics of the race. But what will be the secondary and tertiary effects of a new internet reaching billions of people for the first time?
Loon, the internet balloon company, has received a $125 million investment from HAPSMobile, an affiliate of SoftBank. HAPSMobile is developing stratospheric drones to be used as internet platforms. The drones, with a wingspan of 78 meters, plan to fly at altitude of 20 kilometers for six months at a time.
HAPSMobile and Loon seek to use compatible (or identical) communications equipment on their respective platforms. They also plan to coordinate on ground system equipment, as well as joint policy efforts with governments to allow balloon and drone communications platforms.
The two companies may also coordinate with OneWeb, the low earth orbit satellite company. In theory satellites could communicate with balloons or drones, which in turn can communications directly with consumers, obviating the need for specialized consumer antennas. OneWeb is in part funded by SoftBank.
Amazon has announced plans for a new internet satellite network. “Project Kuiper” will comprise 3,236 low earth orbit satellites providing broadband access across the planet.
Amazon’s entry into the internet satellite race is notable because of the company’s technical acumen, access to capital, and ties to Blue Origin, the rocket company founded by Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos.
The project will be in direct competition with industry leaders SpaceX and OneWeb.
Broadband in the next few years will be reaching the half of the planet’s population that doesn’t have it yet — and that changes everything.
Media organizations may be interested in a new paper I wrote as a visiting fellow at the Harvard Kennedy School titled Broadband Everywhere: Media Implications of Internet Access for the Next Three Billion.
Media markets are currently expanding faster than at any time in history. That offers many opportunities for media organizations who are prepared.
China has launched the first test satellite of its ambitious Hongyun internet satellite program. The Hongyun program foresees a network of 156 low earth orbit internet satellites by 2025. The goal of the program is to provide internet service to rural parts of China as well as to developing countries. The program is described as part of China’s “Belt and Road” infrastructure project involving dozens of developing countries.
The Chinese technology firm LinkSure Network has unveiled a new satellite designed to provide wifi across the planet. The service, to include 272 satellites in low earth orbit, will sell a number of communications services, but also aspires to provide free wifi to regions of the planet currently without coverage.
The firm plans to launch its first test satellite in 2019, followed by ten more satellites in 2020. The full network will be operational by 2026.
The FCC has approved SpaceX’s latest application for an additional 7,518 satellites, bringing the total number of approved satellites to 11,943. Simultaneously the FCC approved hundreds of new satellites from communications firms Kepler, Telesat and Leosat.
SpaceX has received FCC permission to launch 4,425 Starlink communications satellites between 1,110 and 1,325 km in altitude. SpaceX in a new filing is now requesting that 1,584 of those satellites be allowed at lower orbits of 550 km. Satellites at that orbit are at the upper reaches of the atmosphere and have naturally decaying orbits over several years. Starlink satellites at that elevation would therefore be easier to decommission. Satellites that fail would also fall into the atmosphere naturally.
When SpaceX received initial FCC approval, the permission was contingent upon SpaceX providing updated satellite decommissioning plans. The FCC is concerned about space debris. This new orbital plan by SpaceX may address some FCC concerns.
SpaceX’s two current test satellites, TinTin A and B, were launched into the lower orbits but expected to be boosted to higher orbits. That boost hasn’t happened, leading some observers to question whether the satellites failed. In fact SpaceX may be studying the lower orbits in greater detail.
Lower orbits would represent faster communications speeds, with latencies as low as 15 ms. Satellites would also potentially cover less of the planets surface, which would require modifications to their design.
More detailed reporting of SpaceX’s updated FCC filing is provided by The Verge.
SpaceX has posted a number of new job openings that suggest it may be developing a classified satellite network. As reported in Teslarati, the new positions require technical skills involving low-cost satellite networks but also require top secret clearances.
One reasonable explanation for these new job openings would be that the US Government is exploring new approaches to satellite networks. DARPA has previously announced funding of up to $117 million for the Blackjack program, seeking to place 20 test satellites in orbit.
SpaceX has announced current plans to raise $750 million in debt financing to support next generation rocket development as well as the Starlink program. It appears SpaceX might have its eyes on additional Starlink funding from government sources.
One enormous challenge for first-time users of the internet in developing countries is knowing what the internet is and does. If you have always lived in a technology-free environment, how are you supposed to understand, say, the Android apps on Google Play?
One solution will be the design of single purpose internet devices. Imagine a smart speaker that only tells you the weather, or a tablet that only shows football matches.
A good example of a single purpose internet device is now rolling out in the US. Facebook has launched “Portal“, a videoconferencing system that only allows calling to other Facebook users. You plug it in, link to wifi, link to Facebook, and start requesting calls. The device is powered by complex technology, including Alexa, and has a number of sophisticated design features, such as tracking your movements around a room. It only has one purpose, however: videoconference with others on Facebook.
Does some of this raise privacy issues or other objections? Probably. But the device is easy to use, and that alone may drive its popularity. Simplicity of this sort will be a precondition for internet devices across much of the planet. | aerospace |
